Missile inspection skills improved
( 2003-07-10 10:28) (PLA Daily)
Wang Libo, a fourth class noncommissioned officer
in an ammunition maintenance and test station, was an expert in various
missiles' ground equipment repair and maintenance.
Wang Libo came to the missile examination and repair office of the station
several years ago. From then on, he devoted himself to missile's examination and
repair. In order to be an expert in this field in a possible shorter time, he
self-studied all the college courses for a missile technician within only one
year. He took notes totaling 100,000 Chinese characters.
The personnel taking missile maintenance and repair work were mostly officers
and noncommissioned officers graduated from military institutes. The first time
Wang Libo opened the training simulator of a certain model of missile, he felt
dizzy at all those wires and welding joints. He then started to further his
study from the circuits principles of the familiar equipment and tackled the
problems in the structure and circuit principles of every equipment. After years
of efforts, he mastered all the circuit principles of many kinds of equipment,
such as, a certain type of anti-tank missile and a certain type
of surface-to-air missile, etc.. After one-year's practice, Wang Libo's missile
maintenance skill had already reached to the same level of a maintenance
technician. He went to different units to do the maintenance work as a leading
technician. The number of missile equipment he repaired totaled 5 kinds and 132
sets and he solved more than 20 problems for the troops within the military area
command. September last year, he was certificated by the headquarters as the
only noncommissioned officer in the army who could do the missile equipment
maintenance work.
Wang paid more attention to research after he became successful in missile
maintenance. During the days he went to the troops to repair equipment, he found
there was a high fault rate in one missile tester, and its repair work was so
complex that it cannot be done without enough instruments, let alone under the
field condition. He then planned to invent an integrated device specially for
this kind of missile ground equipment. He got support from the director of his
office. Thus, a research group was established in the station. As a member of
this group, Wang Libo took charge of data design and programming. After
two-year's efforts, the project "A Technical Maintenance Tester for a Certain
Type of Missile" was accomplished successfully and passed the appraisal of an
experts team. This tester got the third prize in the Military Scientific and
Technological Progress Award.
