"At that time, I was very confused and I didn't understand how a technical guarantee personally fought." Ye Jun, chief engineer of a guarantee team in the western theater, recalled.

In 2016, a guarantee team in the western theater was established, and Ye Jun was selected from the former Lanzhou Military Region Network Propaganda Center to the guarantee team. As various tasks followed, Ye Jun's confusion was solved in the overcoming difficulties again and again.

As soon as the guarantee team was established, they received the task of key topics, and Ye Jun was led by the establishment of a research team to conduct research. At that time, the guarantee team had no professional institutions, no professionals, and no professional disciplines. All research was crossing the river with stones.

"To make the research results better play in actual combat, it must be close to the front line." Ye Jun led the team to go to multiple task forces for three consecutive months. The final plan was highly recognized by various task forces.

"In our plan, there are data, formulas, and simulation analysis, which are both informative and accurate." Ye Jun said that after this battle, he also found the connection between "engineers" and "combat". "Our position is to use models and algorithms to come up with the optimal auxiliary solution to solve the problem of combat, so it can be understood as a 'combat actuarian'."

In a major training task, the problem of "joint delivery planning" lacking systematic support caused Ye Jun's attention. He took the initiative to ask: "Let's try it."

The Ye Jun team quickly discovered that the complexity of "joint delivery planning" far exceeded expectations. "After in -depth research and research, we finally formed a joint delivery assistance planning system." Ye Jun said. In order to verify the reliability of the system, they use the timing of each participating in training task to keep inspection and optimization. In the end, this system won the second prize of the military science and technology progress and applied to the training task of the western theater.

"There are chief engineers, and we also have confidence in the face of difficult tasks." Said Wang Xueyu, director of the business room of the guarantee team. For the first time, Wang Xueyu and Ye Jun were in the second military chess competition. Under the leadership of Ye Jun, the team's participating team killed all the way to the finals and achieved good results in the second place in the army, becoming the "dark horse" of that competition.

"The biggest feature of our team is to use the game as a battle, and use engineering thinking to learn war, understand the war, and solve practical problems on the battlefield." Ye Jun said.

With this motivation, Ye Jun has won the first and second prizes of the army's professional competition in five times in recent years. prize.

"Looking at the application of a scientific research achievement to the front line and transforming into combat effectiveness, it feels like watching their children grow up day by day, and eventually contribute to the country and military cause." Ye Jun said, "This is the motivation for our work to work , It's the goal of our struggle. "
