On his 50th birthday, an old friend stuck him in the laboratory and gave him an ancient poem: "Song Xin didn't hate thousands of feet deeply". An old friend changed the original poem "Song Xin doesn't hate thousands of feet too much" by only one word, which is wonderful. It made everyone smile. Because his name is "Jiang Xinsong", he has been devoted to the "deep" development of underwater robots for many years.
1931August 3, Jiang Xinsong was born in jiangyin county, Jiangsu province, and his family was poor. However, he studied hard since childhood and was admitted to the Department of Electrical Engineering of Shanghai Jiaotong University with high marks. Drop out of school and be assigned to Chinese Academy of Sciences.
On February 1986 and 1 day, China News Agency sent a telegram "Overview of Robot Development in China-Interview with Jiang Xinsong, Director of Institute of Automation, China Academy of Sciences". At a speed of 300,000 kilometers per second, the draft outlines the face of a busy man in science and technology: Jiang Xinsong shuttles back and forth between Beijing, Dalian and Shenyang. All the topics are related to robots.
Jiang Xinsong is a visionary strategic scientist. As early as 1972, he and two colleagues formally suggested to the Academy of Sciences that the development of robots must start as early as possible. At that time, in the chaotic background, all kinds of conditions were not available, and some even ridiculed: "There are so many people in China, there is no place to put them. What kind of robots are there? " While waiting for the opportunity, he pondered how to overcome the resistance and persuade the leaders to agree to the research on robots.
It was not until the Gang of Four was crushed that Jiang Xinsong deeply felt a warm spring and a scientific spring had arrived. With the ambition that was once covered by snow and ice, I devoted myself to the work I loved very much. He wrote in his application for joining the Party: "I will diligently explore and find my happiness and happiness in the vast ocean of science." 1982 18 February 18, Jiang Xinsong joined the China * * * production party.
On his first overseas inspection in Japan, he saved money to buy the first computer for the institute.
The development of marine robots is a multidisciplinary comprehensive project. Jiang Xinsong is busy day and night with profound theories and complicated techniques. Under his careful organization, a series of underwater robots ranging from 300 meters to 6000 meters have been successfully developed. This magical leap is undoubtedly a feat in the history of science and technology.
Jiang Xinsong's dream is to dive in the deep sea. He regarded the 6,000m underwater robot, which condensed his painstaking efforts, as an envoy sent by China to show his magic, wisdom and courage on the international stage.
Jiang Xinsong gave a speech at the commemorative meeting of the "863" project 10: "This 10 year is the first 10 year in which we have worked hard in the field of automation, and this 10 year is brilliant. Four old scientists wrote to the Central Committee, proposing that we should occupy a place on the international high-tech stage. Today, we can comfort our predecessors and the people of the whole country. We have achieved this goal. We have not only gained a place, but also reached the world leading level in many aspects. "
From 65438 to 0994, Jiang Xinsong was elected as an academician of China Academy of Engineering, specializing in the research of major automation topics. Jiang Xinsong said to the young scientists and technicians around him more than once: "Science is a heroic undertaking, which requires us to explore, pursue and climb all our lives. Science should be the cause we devote ourselves to, not the step of promotion. With a great purpose, we can produce lasting perseverance. "
This is how he immersed himself in research and gradually became a famous expert in the field of automation control and robot research in China. Shenyang Institute of Automation, Chinese Academy of Sciences, the cradle of robots, enjoys a high reputation in the world because of its good governance.
Jiang Xinsong proudly commented on his science and technology team: "I have a death squad." As we all know, the automation style of daring to fight and dare to fight was brought out by him as Depth Charge. His dedication to hard work is well known. 1985, responsible for preparing detailed negotiation draft in order to get in touch with Perry Company of the United States. Because of working for several days, he hardly slept. When reporting to the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Jiang Xinsong fainted on the stairs because of overwork. After waking up, he insisted on accompanying the American representative to Dalian for inspection, got off the bus and fainted on the platform. When he was sent to China Medical University for emergency treatment, the doctor had found that his hyperthyroidism involved his heart, so he had an operation. On the third day after the stitches were removed, he went into negotiations again and finally reached a cooperation agreement with the US. The following year, Jiang Xinsong was once again sent to the hospital from his post by his colleagues. Because of leukopenia, he was sent to the sterile room and covered with a glass cover. At this time, the robot demonstration project was in full swing. He carried the doctor on his back, called the relevant personnel to the ward, lay in the hospital bed, and listened to the report through the glass cover for deployment.
1At the end of March, 1997, Jiang Xinsong returned to Shenyang from other places, organized a seminar on robot controllers with his partners, and then participated in the group meeting of the chief engineer of the 6000m underwater robot. Colleagues saw that he was very tired and asked about his physical condition with concern. He smiled casually and said in a clear voice:
"My principle is one: birth and death."
None of his colleagues expected that this was the last sentence he heard from the leader. On the morning of 29th, when the sun first appeared, Jiang Xinsong had been typing in front of the computer for three hours. "The cause of science is the cause of eternal exploration. It has no beginning and no end. The joy of success is always instant, endless exploration and endless distress, which is her own charm. I have been engaged in scientific research for 40 years, and now I have entered a new round of endless exploration and endless distress. " After writing this passage, it is both a feeling and a feeling. At my wife's repeated urging, I had breakfast in a hurry and set out to find a dress to go to Angang. A few days ago, the general manager of Angang personally hung up and listened to his opinions on the technical transformation of Angang in the Ninth Five-Year Plan. At 7: 30, he picked up his briefcase and laptop and was about to go downstairs. Suddenly, he felt his heart tighten and he suffered from colic. He immediately sweated and squatted down with the table in his arms. The bus that was supposed to take him to Angang took him to the hospital. When the red light flashed in the emergency room, the hospital took various measures to rescue the darling of science and technology, but all failed. In the afternoon, Jiang Xinsong, an outstanding scientist and the father of robots in China, passed away.
"Forward to 6000 meters!" His brave words became the last sentence that inspired his partners to work hard.
Sorrow and joy are lingering, and tears are falling. On the mourning hall of Jiang Xinsong's memorial service, such a striking elegiac couplet hangs:
The great achievements of national musical instruments will be immortal.
Academician style, future generations and good teachers
What is enough to comfort Jiang Xinsong Ling Ying is that one month after his death, according to the requirements of the United Nations for testing the deep-sea conditions in the Pacific Ocean, this cableless underwater robot with a depth of 6,000m went to southeast Hawaii with the US National Submarine Survey Team for a deep-sea test, and fought continuously for100th day, which made human beings see the videos and photos of the deep sea for the first time. Shenzhou robot won glory for the motherland! This exciting news of scientific research is an outstanding achievement of Jiang Xinsong and his partners. Robots have realized the scientific and technological dreams of China people.
