What is double 11？ This mechanic handles hundreds of millions of dollars every day.

　　 "I finally got off work."

　　 This is a circle of friends at 3: 00 in the morning. After checking the last plane of night flight training, Si Xueyan took off his gloves full of oil stains and looked up at a bend in Leng Yue over the airport, ready to leave and return to camp. I wanted to wind up a good night WeChat, but I gave up when I saw the time. Although I was only a few hundred kilometers away from my wife and children, I always seemed to live in different time zones.

　　 The moon is full, and he can’t remember how long it has been like this. All he knows is that, no matter whether it is cold or hot, he will send Hawk off safely and wait for Hawk to come home safely.

　　 Peace! After 16 years in the army, there has never been a human error or liability accident. He has won three third-class merits and one second-class merit. Day after day, year after year, he wrote a silent song with a knife and wrench.

　　 From worshipping the pilot to being worshipped by the pilot, his life flies under the landing gear.

　　 Sixteen years ago, Si Xueyan dreamed of being an air force pilot.

　　 "Who doesn’t yearn for the blue sky!" In the second year of high school, this man from Liangshan, Shandong Province confidently signed up for the Air Force’s flying test, but unexpectedly, due to his high astigmatism, he lost to the special C-word table for the flying test and missed the pilot.

　　 Compared with the god who fell because of losing his wings in Greek mythology, a resilient person is more likely to be taken care of. Before long, fate pushed him to Hawk in another way. After graduating from high school in 2001, Si Xueyan joined the army and became a mechanic. After seven months of training, he was assigned to the Bayi Air Show Team, which is a shining place in his mind. His WeChat avatar is still a performance formation of six fighters. 歼 歼 歼 歼 歼 歼 歼 歼 歼 歼 歼 歼 歼 歼 歼 歼 歼 歼 歼 歼 歼 歼 歼 歼 歼 27 "As a crew member, it is my greatest wish to take off and land safely." Standing as a guardian at the edge of the Hawk, Si Xueyan turned his love for the sky into silent care for the fighters.

　　 Ten years passed quickly, from worshipping the pilot to being worshipped by the pilot, the mechanic became an "old Chinese doctor" who could diagnose the plane. In 2011, he ushered in a turning point in his military career. "The division issued a notice to transfer the backbone to the current unit for new machine teaching. I have guaranteed that model for 8 years and have very rich experience. I signed up for it the first time."

　　 From the city to the mountains, the soldier didn’t hesitate for a second.

　　 "There is a need for people here, and I am very familiar with the guaranteed models. It is very easy to get started. I didn’t think about it at that time, and I signed up for the first time." Gold can shine everywhere. When he arrives at the new unit, Si Xueyan immediately shoulders the burden, not only to do it, but also to do it well! After staying up for a few nights, he and several backbones summed up the workflow of disassembling the main cabin, receiving and dispatching the landing gear, and commissioning, and worked out a set of solutions and precautions for common problems, which were made into cards and popularized in the whole group.

　　 For the maintenance crew, as long as the maintenance work is not 100 points, it is 0 points. Si Xueyan insisted on full marks for 16 years, and the doorway is to do seemingly simple things to the extreme.

　　 On a mechanical day five years ago, Si Xueyan inspected the brake cable, which is a part closely related to flight safety. One end of the cable is fixed at the bottom of the cockpit, so people can’t stand up straight in it. They need to lie down in the cabin and grope inch by inch on the cable. His keen eyes seem to pierce the plane skin at any moment, exposing hidden doubts.

　　 "There is a problem! Continue to check! " Si Xueyan twisted his eyebrows into a knot in one’s heart and began to whisper: there must be something wrong with the brake cable. Expanding the scope again, once and twice, Si Xueyan endured backache and patiently groped on the steel cable. Suddenly, he found that there was a broken wire 17cm away from the brake steel cable joint! "If it was not discovered in time at that time, it is very likely that all the steel cables will break, causing the aircraft brakes to fail and a major accident will occur."

　　 Because of the discovery of this hidden trouble, Si Xueyan won a third-class merit. Si Xueyan told reporters that honor is important, but honor is far less important than the lives of comrades-in-arms. Never let any plane "get sick".

　　 "As long as we see Si Xueyan’s name on the list, there’s nothing to say. We can fly with confidence!" This is the common aspiration of pilots.

　　 The ground is paved, the sky is covered, and the years revolve under the landing gear. Si Xueyan’s waist bends under the wing for 16 years.

　　 The more skilled you are, the more timid you are, and the more obsessive-compulsive you are when you are doing maintenance.

　　 Double 11 is a national carnival day, but for the Air Force, this day has special significance.

　　 On November 11th, 1949, China People’s Liberation Army Air Force was established. After 68 years of hurricane and rain, the air force has come to this day, relying on every safety control of pilots and benefiting from every meticulous guarantee of crew members.

　　 From the day he became a member of the Air Force, Si Xueyan firmly believed in ensuring the safety of aircraft every minute. So far, he has guaranteed flying for more than 1610 hours, which is nearly 5.8 million seconds if converted into seconds.

　　 For us, time is like a string and arrows. For the crew, time seconds seem to be at the tip of the knife. As soon as they landed together, the pilot gave his whole life to the crew, so flying was never just a pilot’s business. In the past 5.8 million seconds, Si Xueyan’s heart had been dragged into the air with "Hawk".

　　 Isn’t the work getting more and more skilled? The easier it is to do it? Otherwise.

　　 Si Xueyan told reporters that the more skilled he became over the years, the more "timid" he became. Until now, the plane landed a minute late for training reasons, and the veteran would sit on pins and needles and walk up and down in the lounge. He was used to his "obsessive-compulsive disorder" when he was in the maintenance work with high mental stress. He joked with reporters, went home for vacation, and asked himself many times every day whether he had locked the car door.

　　 Behind this "obsessive-compulsive disorder", what is hidden is the stubbornness and love of not admitting defeat and not being afraid of difficulties. Maintenance work is like a chess game. Those who know the plane are born, those who are good at overcoming difficulties are saved, and Si Xueyan is the one who overcomes difficulties.

　　 In October 2016, Si Xueyan’s unit was ordered to carry out the free air combat assessment training mission, and only three planes were dispatched for the whole mission. However, just after a take-off and landing, the No.3 aircraft suddenly broke down, in order to ensure the smooth development of the original training plan. Si Xueyan stood up and said to the leader of the team: "We can’t affect the task because of the plane problem. My plane can go on." In this way, he normally only needs to guarantee four sorties, but he has to guarantee six sorties in the same time, refueling, inflating, loading umbrellas, checking planes and releasing them. In order to complete the preparations for re-deployment according to the time schedule, he almost runs to complete every link.

　　 When preparing for the sixth deployment, Si Xueyan was squatting to complete the inspection of the engine compartment on the right side of the plane. Suddenly, a sharp pain struck, and his lumbar disc herniation recurred! The severe pain prevented him from straightening up. "Time waits for no one, the inspection content is only half completed, and the plane will continue to take off training."

　　 Sweat on my face, but a fire in my heart.

　　 At this time, Si Xueyan has only one thought in his heart: he must never affect the whole flight training for personal reasons. He pressed the painful part with his right hand, trembling to complete the examination, and didn’t go to treatment until he left with everyone.

　　 Si Xueyan’s favorite gesture is thumbs up, because this gesture represents normal operation and good work in maintenance work, and it is the most intimate and commonly used gesture of maintenance soldiers. National defense online client reporter Zhao Songyan photo

　　 Si Xueyan’s love for the career of the locomotive crew is also branded on his son.

　　 Hao Chen is the name given to his son by Si Xueyan, which is full of his love for the sky, but his son did not have a clear understanding of the role of father when he was young. Because of working outside all the year round, it is difficult to go home, and there are many gaps in the growth of children for Si Xueyan. Hao Chen’s primary school composition has never written a composition with the theme of "my father". The only time he mentioned his father, he still blamed him for his appointment and delayed his work.

　　 The father waited a long time for the child’s understanding.

　　 One year, the wife took her son to visit relatives, walked into the place where Si Xueyan worked, and looked at the oil stains on his father’s slightly stooped back and hands. Only then did the child understand who his father would give behind those broken agreements. After returning to school, he proudly told his classmates that my father is a plane repairer. Isn’t that amazing?

　　 The reporter asked him to say something to the child in front of the camera. The veteran who had been laughing all the time suddenly choked up. "There is too little time to accompany you. If you have an opportunity later, Dad will take you to the side …"

　　 The master who loves to set traps makes his disciples "tremble with fear"

　　 "In our locomotive brigade, Si Xueyan is the brand." Qian Chaofei, the captain of the locomotive brigade, mentioned that Si Xueyan was full of praise.

　　 The power of example does not appear out of thin air, but behind it is the inheritance of spirit.

　　 In 2001, Si Xueyan met the master who took him to get started. "He is very strict with me. After the mechanical day comes back, others have an hour of free activities, but my master will let me recite the rules there." Soon, Si Xueyan became a mechanic from a mechanic, and one person was responsible for the whole plane.

　　 When a strict teacher is a disciple, the burden falls on Si Xueyan’s shoulder. The disciples’ greatest impression of the master is that "strict words are the first thing", and "for fear of being caught asking questions, I will hide when I see the master" has become a tacit secret between disciples.

　　 In addition to asking questions at any time, Si Xueyan’s "killer weapon" made the disciples tremble with fear and put an end to the "careless" in the crew. This "killer weapon" contributed a lot.

　　 On a mechanical day in May 2014, disciple Zhao Qin was deeply impressed by this day. When checking the cockpit for the first time, Zhao Qin didn’t find any problems, but just came down and was scolded by the master. With doubts, he went to the cockpit and began the second inspection. Sure enough, the small cockpit airtight switch did not know when it moved. When I came down to apologize to the master, I realized that this was a "trap" set by the master for myself.

　　 A similar thing happened to disciple Ma Shuai. "The master’s requirements are very strict. Every time I check the mechanical day, the master has to set traps such as turning off a switch and disconnecting a certain insurance for me to find. If I can’t find it, I have to review it again and criticize it until all the traps are found." Pony recalled. "I used to think that the master was a little picky, and slowly I understood the significance of the crew’s attention to detail." Less than half a year after being taught by Si Xueyan (the newcomer is qualified for the job alone and is in charge of the plane as a mechanic), he found the fault of the landing gear unlocking coordination cable when checking the plane, so he won the third class merit.

　　 Details determine success or failure. Si Xueyan told his disciples that people are afraid of the word "serious".

　　 As a soldier, I have tasted everything. The hardest thing is to say goodbye.

　　 This year, it is the last year of Si Xueyan’s four-level master sergeant’s service, and the word "leaving" always appears in my mind. "When I started to be a soldier, I wanted to accompany the plane for a lifetime. I also knew that it was impossible, but I always wanted to spend more time with it. This year, I submitted an application to stay in the team, and I listened to the organization when I left. " In his mind, the plane is not only a dream, but also a comrade-in-arms.

　　 Get up, Ann.

　　 Health, good.

　　 After sunset, the falcon will release its wings and sail again. That long horizon was once the starting point of dreams, the end of heaven and earth, and the distance that this veteran remembers most. (Zhao Songyan, Liu Qian, Zhao Yanfei)
