With it, personal combat readiness supplies no longer need to be stuffed into the driver's cab... "Not long ago, a certain brigade of the 73rd Group Army organized a demonstration of a certain type of artillery combat readiness standard. Corporal Feng Yimin's explanation of a vehicle mounted storage box attracted many officers and soldiers to watch and praise. This is another innovative achievement of Feng Yimin. In the past, when the brigade's firepower team was deployed, personal combat readiness materials were often piled up in the cramped driver's cab, which not only affected equipment operation but also posed safety hazards for driving. The storage box designed and manufactured by Feng Yimin is installed on the back of the car, effectively solving these problems and gaining recognition from equipment manufacturers. There are still many grassroots "makers" like Feng Yimin in this brigade. The leaders of the brigade introduced that in recent years, in order to encourage officers and soldiers to innovate and create independently, fully tap into the effectiveness of weapons and equipment, they have widely carried out "military camp makers" activities, and built an innovation stage for grassroots officers and soldiers. Feng Yimin, as one of the first "makers", stood out in solving difficult problems time and time again. That year, Feng Yimin's company was equipped with a certain type of artillery. During live fire training, officers and soldiers have found that artillery is prone to subtle positional deviations, which can affect shooting accuracy. After investigation, Feng Yimin found that the crux of the problem was the unstable structure of the artillery coupling, so he decided to solve it himself. A few days later, he submitted a coupling renovation plan he had written to the travel agency. After extensive research and discussion, the Party Committee of the brigade believes that Feng Yimin's renovation project complies with equipment management regulations and has high practical value. The plan was quickly approved and a special technical research and development team was established. However, due to limited site resources and a lack of equipment and teaching materials, the progress of the coupling renovation has been slow and has not seen any results. Some group members have even sounded the drums of retreat. After research, the travel leaders learned that this is a common dilemma encountered by grassroots "maker" teams. To this end, the Party Committee of the brigade has developed a series of supporting measures: establishing a "maker studio", purchasing office computers, research instruments, professional books, and coordinating with experts from universities and equipment manufacturers to provide guidance. To dispel the ideological concerns of officers and soldiers who are afraid of making mistakes, they have established a sound fault tolerance and error correction mechanism, and encouraged "makers" to open their hands and innovate boldly. We are deeply encouraged and at the same time feel a great sense of responsibility Feng Yimin said that during that time, in order to fill the knowledge gap, he and his team members self studied mechanical principles, repeatedly modified the original model, studied equipment structure, and checked calibration data. After several experiments, they finally succeeded. In the subsequent live fire assessment organized, the installation of the modified coupling gun significantly improved the shooting accuracy. Later, this innovative achievement obtained a national invention patent and was widely promoted and used by higher authorities. This greatly impressed Feng Yimin, who turned his attention to the regularly released list of innovative and problem-solving needs by the brigade, and identified new research directions. Over the years, through the "unveiling" and "promotion" of innovative inventions by Feng Yimin, there has been a continuous increase in the number of artillery sliding human-machine seats, fan protective nets, and enhanced camouflage protective nets. The wisdom of grassroots officers and soldiers is infinite, it depends on how it is discovered and utilized The leader of the brigade said that in the next step, they will improve the innovation incentive mechanism and guarantee mechanism, attract more officers and soldiers to contribute "golden ideas" and produce "innovative results".
