Today, let’s pay tribute and say goodbye to a real national backbone!
today,
Please allow for such an old man,
Publish a message.

This is a sad news:
Former School of Optoelectronic Science and Engineering, National University of Defense Technology
Professor of Laser Gyro Research Institute,
Comrade Gao Bolong, academician of China Academy of Engineering.
He died of illness at 12 noon on December 6,
At the age of 89.
In the past few days,
The news of Academician Gao’s death has been screened in the military circle.
However, there are more people who don’t know this gentleman.
Today, Xiaoxin wants to tell his story — —

He wears a green combat uniform all the year round.
A pair of liberation shoes.
Chat with the headmaster occasionally,
They are all concerned about the students’ learning situation.
On the campus of National Defense Science and Technology University,
The feeling of students who don’t know his identity at first sight.
It is "an insignificant little old man".

It’s hard to imagine,
Such an old man,
Led to build the first ring laser in China,
It fills seven gaps in the field of laser in China.
After teaching for more than 60 years,
Many students he trained became generals,
Or a well-known expert in the laser field,
And he has always been happy to be a
Ordinary research staff.

Perhaps many people are not aware of Academician Gao Bolong.
What you do.
here,
I have to mention an institution.
And that backbone of a great country.
This college is Harbin Military Industry,
And the backbone of this great country is Qian Xuesen.
In 1954,
Due to the need of work,
Gao Bolong, a young talent, was selected to teach in Harbin Military Industry.
High flyers, who graduated from the Physics Department of Tsinghua University in 1951.
Plunge into the physics teaching and research section,
Traveling in his beloved theoretical physics world.

In the early 1960s,
The world’s first ruby laser invented by the United States
And the first He-Ne red laser,
Triggered a revolution in the world optical field.
The idea of applying laser to aerospace field,
It has also caused people including China.
The universal concern of scientists all over the world,
And began to develop the "ring laser".

In 1971, at the suggestion of Qian Xuesen,
National University of Defense Technology has established a laser research laboratory.
And transferred to Gao Bolong to engage in related research.
After 1975,
Gao Bolong will devote his main time and energy.
Invest in the laser gyro development project.

Laser gyro is also called ring laser.
Without mastering this sophisticated weapon,
There would be no precision-guided weapons,
There wouldn’t be so many now.
Proud fighter missiles!

Scientific research achievements
In 1978,
Gao Bolong and his team made it.
The first generation of laboratory principle prototype.
In early 1984,
He proposed further development.
A new idea of an engineering ring laser.
At the beginning of 1993,
He was in a few months.
Hand over the new prototype of engineering.
In the meantime,
He also led the technicians to develop it successfully.
Full-cavity green He-Ne laser,
Make China the second largest country after the United States and Germany.
The third country to master this manufacturing technology.
His "desperation"
Gao Bolong is an octogenarian.
But he has been fighting in the front line of scientific research.
In 2008, the nationally known heavy snow.
It also attacked his region — — Changsha.
Due to the tight power supply,
The lab will only be powered at night,
Gao Bolong in order to work,
Sleep during the day and do experiments at night.
For an 80-year-old man,
This is totally jet lag work that consumes health.
"During that time, there was deep snow on campus.
Miss Gao walked carefully in liberation shoes.
Insist on coming to the laboratory every night to observe the data and guide the experiment.
And always have to work until after the power failure in the morning,
Before stumbling home. "
This is what Gao Bolong’s doctoral students recalled.

Student impression
Gao Bolong’s Impression on Students
With his excellent scientific research can be on par:
Diligence and thrift,
The leftover rice must be packed!
Serious and rigorous,
Papers written by students,
As thick as a hundred pages,
Also be sure to scrutinize and review!
Never take credit,
No matter how much the paper written by the student has been revised,
I won’t sign my name!
Speak out,
Only science and truth are in my eyes,
No one can let him speak against his will!

But,
On December 6, 2017,
This "humble little old man"
But he left us forever.
During the war years,
The backbone of great powers and heroes,
For national liberation, national prosperity and people’s well-being,
Advance wave after wave, go forward bravely,
Cut through the thorns and do your best,
In the sky of history
Played a heroic movement!
In peacetime,
The backbones of great powers represented by Academician Gao Bolong,
Persistence, infatuation with scientific research,
Always take the needs of the country as the need,
Take the national interest as the interest.
With them,
Our country
Only with the spirit of straight back!
High old once said:
"Some foreign countries, advanced,
We should follow it and have it in the future;
But that doesn’t mean we can’t have what foreign countries don’t have. "

Today, let’s mourn Academician Gao Bolong.
Gao Lao, have a good trip!
Today, let’s pay tribute to countless real national backbones!
Salute! Salute!
