『All-round mechanic』Xiao Guanqing

           The total time of five visits to the South Pole is more than 1500 days.

 

“Whenever there is a need，I'm on it。”This is what Xiao Guanqing once said in an interview with reporters.。It's hard to imagine，At the age of 37, he has been to the South Pole five times.。“I'm a regular visitor to the South Pole.。”He said with a smile.。

Xiao Guanqing's indissoluble bond with Antarctica began in 2011.。Up to 12 years.，He carried out three Antarctic scientific research wintering missions.、2 Summer Missions，The total time in Antarctica is 1600 days.。 This expedition to the South Pole，He served as vehicle mechanic for China's 39th new station in the Kokoros Sea, Antarctica.。

Every Antarctic expedition，The unloading of sea ice is regarded by the expedition team as a“Tough battle”。The thickness of sea ice is about 1..2 meters，Cracks in the ice are hidden everywhere，Beneath the crevasse is a bottomless sea.，Once it falls in，The consequences are unimaginable——Even though it's Antarctic.“Veteran driver”，But think back to the sea ice unloading in December 2022.，Xiao Guanqing still has a lingering fear。

The temperature is higher during the day，The temperature is relatively low at night.，Unloading is carried out at night.。Xiao Guanqing and his teammates drove a snowmobile with a load of more than 7 tons.，On the sea ice between the snow dragon boat and Zhongshan Station，“The vehicle cannot be stopped during transportation.，Make a few more trips，The snow surface is easy to melt，This brings us a lot of psychological pressure.，Always tighten the safety chord.。”Xiao Guanqing said。After six days and six nights of continuous struggle,，1120 tons of scientific research equipment、 Life 、Engineering and other materials and fuel were successfully unloaded.。

Severe weather in the Antarctic is a common occurrence.。“Even if it's heavily armed，Repair outdoors for a few minutes.，His hands were numb with cold.，Wait until you get back inside，It took half a day to recover.，My fingers just feel numb and painful.。” Xiao Guanqing said，At Zhongshan Station in Antarctica，The lowest temperature he has ever experienced is minus 44.℃，The maximum wind force is 41 meters per second.。

Antarctic conditions are difficult，At break，Xiao Guanqing's Way of Relaxing，It's a visit to a teammate's room.，More often.，He's still working with machinery.。

He is not good at words in life.，As soon as I have time, I study machinery.，It's a“Mechanical idiot”。He almost operated more than 30 vehicles on Zhongshan Station.、13 vehicles at the new Ross Sea Station，Includes a loader、Excavator、Skid steer loader、Crawler crane、Mine card、Small four-wheeled motorcycles and so on.，He is an all-round mechanic praised by everyone.。 Even ，The drill is out of order，So can he“Make a move” Solve 。

“The bit of the drill won't come off.。”In January this year，A difficult problem in construction was handed over to Xiao Guanqing and his teammates.。In the beginning，They took it apart with a sledgehammer.，But the drill wouldn't budge。What to do？They came up with a plan.：Hold down the drill pipe with two excavators，And then remove it with a bucket.，After more than two hours of hard work，Finally, the drill bit was successfully removed.，“At home，Accessories are available everywhere.，If not, you can ask for foreign aid.。At the South Pole， Condition 、Limited resources，I can only look up information，Find a way to solve the problem by yourself.。”Xiao Guanqing said：“Repair the equipment every time.，I have a full sense of accomplishment.，I can't feel the hardship and tiredness of my work.”。

Every expedition to the South Pole，Less than half a year，More than a year and a half.，This makes Xiao Guanqing ignore his family.，He said，I had regrets，But I think I can contribute to the cause of the motherland's polar region.，He has no regrets。

           76 Days in the Antarctic Inland Research Area

 

December 29, 2022，Zeng Yinggen and his teammates successfully climbed the highest ice dome of the inland ice sheet at an altitude of 4093 meters.A，Conquer mankind“Pole of inaccessibility”。The moment when the five-star red flag rises，His sense of pride arose spontaneously.。

“As a child，I'm in charge of repairing the one at home.‘Drop the chain’A bicycle，I didn't expect，Now I have gone to the South Pole to repair the machine.。”Zeng Yinggen said jokingly.。He is 36 years old.，From an ordinary assembler to“Mechanical expert”，He has won the gold medal in the loader group in the third National Professional Skills Competition for Construction Machinery Maintenance Workers.。Excellent professional quality、Physical fitness、Psychological quality and outstanding emergency response ability，Let him go through the selection process.，Become a mechanic on the Antarctic expedition.。

Recall the long and arduous expedition to the Antarctic interior.，Zeng Yinggenyong“It was a near miss”To describe。

Zeng Yinggen went to the South Pole twice.，This time, he served as the core scientific research task——Vehicle Mechanic of China's 39th Antarctic Inland Expedition。

Departure base of Zhongshan Station、Taishan station、Kunlun Station、Grove Hill……Over a period of 76 days，He drove a snowmobile and took the members of the scientific research team all over the Antarctic inland research area that our country can reach at present.。

Dizziness、Chest tightness、It's hard to breathe……In the Antarctic Interior Plateau，Obvious altitude sickness strikes.。People are uncomfortable，But the work can't stop.。What to do？Weight loss、Slow down，Take your time。“It can usually carry 100 kilograms.，You can only carry 50 pounds here.。Usually can walk 10 meters.，It's only five meters from here.。”

Grove Mountain is the last stop of the Antarctic inland expedition.，Ice crevices are dense here，Have“The gates of hell”Known as。“Every step forward.，Are accompanied by risks.，You must be bold and careful and observe more.”。Zeng Yinggen told reporters，Some ice crevices can be predicted in advance.，Find another route.，But most of the crevasses are covered by floating snow.，Difficult to view，You can't find it until the car drives past.。

How scary is an ice crevasse?，Zeng Yinggen has personal experience.。“There's an ice crevasse ahead，But there's no other way.，I can only step on the gas and speed up to rush forward.。”Passing through an ice crevasse.，He obviously felt the front of the car falling.，The sled behind the car has a great sense of drag.，“I quickly adjusted my direction.，Make the car perpendicular to the crack at 90 degrees.，Finally, it passed successfully。Look back，The crevasse is more than 2 meters wide.，I'm scared to think about it now.。”

Time is tight、The task is heavy，The logistical support of the Antarctic inland expedition is under great pressure.，Zeng Yinggen and two other mechanics，Successfully guaranteed 7 snowmobiles、Safe and smooth operation of 2 inland power generation cabins，Lay a solid foundation for Antarctic inland exploration。A total of 76 days of inspection time，It has created the longest record of a single inland ice sheet expedition in the history of China's inland expedition.。

At the South Pole，Spare-time life is rather boring.，Zeng Yinggen told reporters，During Antarctic Inland Expedition，The break is just a chat.，Play down cards occasionally。At Zhongshan Station，You can play basketball、 Billiards ，Do some fitness exercises，“Take pleasure in suffering，Don't have a taste.。”

“When I left.，The child is only up to my shoulders.，When I get back.，The child is already higher than my head.。”Xie Wenbi, who went to Antarctica for the first time, said with emotion.。He served as China's 38th vehicle mechanic at Zhongshan Station in Antarctica.-Vehicle Mechanic of China's 39th New Station in the Kokoros Sea, Antarctica，520 days away from home。

Another Identity of Xie Wenbi，Xiagong International Trading Co., Ltd. is the service director of the Americas.。He followed XGMA equipment.，All over Asia、Europe、Middle East、Africa、South America and other places，Rich overseas work experience has tempered his excellent technical skills and steady and practical character.。

First arrived at the South Pole，A harsh natural environment， Let this one“Recruits”I was really shocked.。56 consecutive days of polar night，The sun goes down and no longer rises.，You can't see anything outdoors.。It's a long night，Xie Wenbi is still busy——A blizzard，It will soon be put in cold storage.、The container is buried as a whole,He is always the first to drive a car.，Clear the snow in the dark.。

﹥﹥ Encounter a blizzard，Xie Wenbi is always the first.

     Time to drive a vehicle，Clean up the snow.

 

                                                                                                          

The most testing、The most thrilling time.，It was a 36-day field operation on the Dalke Glacier near Zhongshan Station.。Scientific researchers here drill ice cores to extract water samples from subglacial lakes.，Used to study biological evolution.、Changes in Earth's climate and the evolution of the Antarctic ice sheet，This is a national key research and development project.。Xie Wenbi is responsible for camp support tasks.，In addition to ensuring mechanical operation and power generation，He also took the initiative to become a cook.。

I'm working on it，The generator suddenly lost power.！What it means？“The drilling equipment operates 24 hours a day.，As soon as the generator is cut off，Not only is there no way to collect water samples,，Drilling equipment 500 meters under the ice will also be frozen.。”

The situation is urgent，Give Xie Wenbi only 10 minutes.！And at this point，“The ground blows snow”The more it blows, the stronger it gets.，Ice and snow on the face melt first and then turn into ice.，As painful as a knife cut.。In the snowstorm，He calmed down.，Check carefully，It was soon found that the failure of the flameout solenoid valve caused the flameout of the generator.。“I'll activate the emergency mechanism immediately.，Start the other generator first，And then fix it.”。No accessories on the station，He converted the generator to manual mode.，This is not affected by damage to the fittings。The whole process takes less than 10 minutes.！When he finished the task, he breathed a sigh of relief.，Only to find that his hands were red with cold.。

Continuous operation in extreme environment，The ice auger also malfunctioned several times.。With rich experience，Xie Wenbi quickly solved one equipment failure after another.，Uarantees the coherent integrity of the sample acquisition。

That's all，They stayed on the ice for 36 days and spent the Spring Festival in 2022.。In the absence of food，Xie Wenbi also prepared a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner for the hard-working scientific researchers.。“ Dumplings 、Spiced beef、Chicken stewed with mushroom、Shredded potatoes，Made 8 dishes.，Add two snacks.，The moral is perfect。”Xie Wenbi said with a smile.。

The Antarctic drilling test，Valuable test data were obtained.，At the same time, China's subglacial lake exploration technology has entered the international first-class ranks.。“During field test drilling，Engineer Xie Wenbi has demonstrated solid professional knowledge and excellent mechanical and electrical maintenance capabilities.，It has successfully guaranteed the safety of power generation equipment and passing vehicles.，It has strongly supported the scientific research mission.。”September 8, 2022，The Construction Engineering College of Jilin University, which is responsible for the drilling test, sent a thank-you letter to XGMA.。
