On May 7, 2021, the "Snow Dragon 2" scientific research ship returned to the dock of Shanghai's domestic base, marking the successful completion of China's 37th Antarctic expedition. In the team returning to China with the scientific research ship, there were two young but experienced and sophisticated XGMA mechanics-Wang Ronghui and Xiao Guanqing.

They set off with China's 36th Antarctic expedition in the second half of last year, and carried out winter logistics support tasks at the Great Wall Station and Zhongshan Station in Antarctica.

Inspiring for 70 years, building a new era of dreams

The triumphant return of the two mechanics marks the successful completion of the logistics support work during the term of office of the two mechanics. It is reported that this is the fourth expedition to the Antarctic for the two mechanics to win glory for the country. Once again, XGong’s transcript of supporting the national polar expedition has been painted with a strong stroke, and the "spirit of the military rank" is also in the Antarctic continent. This hot land is once again carried forward, and the dazzling light of youth blooms on the ice and snow polar land.

On the evening of May 8, when the flight carrying two Antarctic heroes landed. Huang Yuhu, Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee and Secretary of the Disciplinary Committee of Xiamen Engineering, and Huang Shuzhen, Chairman of the Union of Xiamen Workers’ Party Committee, led his colleagues to the airport to welcome the triumphant return of the two Antarctic heroes. The leaders cordially expressed condolences to the two Antarctic heroes and their families, and eagerly asked them about their lives and work in Antarctica, and thanked Wang Ronghui and Xiao Guanqing for their contributions to the Antarctic scientific expedition as outstanding representatives of XGMA mechanics.

Carry forward the spirit of military ranks and go to Antarctica to win glory

Last year, Xiao Guanqing and Wang Ronghui, the technical elites Xiao Guanqing and Wang Ronghui, who were already three "veterans" in the Antarctic scientific expedition, were selected by the China Polar Research Center and were selected as members of China's 36th Antarctic Scientific Expedition. Four trip to the Antarctic scientific expedition.

During the study station in China’s Antarctica, these two XGMA technical elites lived up to expectations, faced challenges, and went forward bravely; always watched their original aspirations, kept their mission in mind, fully inherited and carried forward the "spirit of military rank protection", and spared no effort in guaranteeing work with a high sense of responsibility and mission. Sense, showing the good spirit and professionalism of Xiamen workers.

The main reason why XGMA has become one of the most trusted national construction machinery brands in China's polar scientific expeditions and built the well-known brand image of XG's polar scientific expeditions in China's construction machinery industry is mainly because XGMA has carried forward the older generation of workers over the years. "Antarctic Hero" has the spirit of covering the ranks and adheres to the original intention of "Meticulously Manufacturing, Excellent Soldiers and Strong Generals", providing a batch of representative high-quality products of XGMA in different periods for China's polar scientific expedition, and dispatching many of the best from old, middle-aged and young people. The mechanics continued to relay and participated in the national polar scientific expedition for 26 consecutive times, which effectively guaranteed the successful completion of every national polar scientific expedition.

Wang Ronghui and Xiao Guanqing are representatives of this group of outstanding mechanics who assist in scientific research!

XG958H wheel loader XG958H at Zhongshan Scientific Research Station

From December 2013 to December 2014, Wang Ronghui participated in China's 30th Antarctic expedition team. In 2016, Wang Ronghui participated in China's 33rd Antarctic expedition team. He once again overwintered at the Great Wall Station as a logistic squad leader and mechanic. Participated in China's 34th Antarctic expedition and spent the summer at the Great Wall Station. At the beginning of December 2019, Wang Ronghui, as a member of the wintering team of China's 36th Antarctic Expedition Great Wall Station, a mechanic, and a technician from Xiagong Antarctica, went to the Antarctic Great Wall Station with two Xiagong XG958H wheel loaders. During the period, we overcame the adverse effects of the new crown pneumonia epidemic and the impact of earthquakes and other emergencies. We worked together with other team members to successfully complete the set tasks without fear of hardships and dangers. In the 37th Antarctic expedition team, they created the supply and transportation process for the Great Wall Station. A new record.

Speaking of the biggest feeling during the scientific expedition, Wang Ronghui said frankly: "Unity is strength. In the scientific expedition, everyone unites and cooperates, works together, overcomes all difficulties, and can successfully complete the task."

The 37th Antarctic scientific expedition was carried out by the "Xuelong 2" scientific expedition ship, and for the first time, a single ship guaranteed the supply of materials at the Great Wall Station. The transportation of supplies is different from the past. The transport ship at Zhongshan Station needs to travel 1, 2 nautical miles to get to the sea. From the "Xuelong 2" scientific research ship, Wang Ronghui and his teammates operated the transport ship in accordance with the pre-drawn loading and unloading plan. Close to the "Xuelong 2", in the extremely harsh environment, after a few days of arduous transportation, the containers, vehicles, diesel and other materials were unloaded from the "Xuelong 2" in the shortest time, and then the Great Wall Station The discarded hazardous chemicals and common chemical reagents, garbage containers and scrap assets were transported to the "Xuelong 2", and the loading and unloading project was successfully completed in a safe and compact manner in the wind and waves.

For Wang Ronghui, the objects and scenes at the Great Wall Station and Great Wall Bay are all too familiar. This is already his fourth time to participate in the Antarctic expedition. He always remembered his master's entrustment: "In Antarctica, you must remember to represent the country, go all out, do every detail, and do everything as serious as the first time you do it."

During the wintering period in Antarctica, Wang Ronghui united with his mechanical teammates, repaired and maintained all the vehicles on the Great Wall Station, and drove the vehicles to help all the teammates who needed help. He went to the Chilean Ferre Station near the Great Wall Station like a master. , Fields Station, Escudero Station, Marche Station, Belings Kojin Station in Russia, Artigas Station in Uruguay, King Sejong Station in South Korea, Carini Station in Argentina, etc. exchanges, cooperation and establishes friendship. In winter, the snowstorm bury the road leading to other stations. Wang Ronghui drove the XG822LC excavator to clear the road in the shortest time. In some sections, the snow depth was more than 2 meters, but he successfully completed the task every time. Because he is full of confidence in his "old man" Xiagong excavators, and can always complete road maintenance tasks quickly in extremely cold conditions.

On October 22, 2019, Xiao Guanqing, a technician of XGMA, who participated in the 28th, 33rd, and 35th Antarctic expedition team, was accompanied by an XG958H wheel on the 36th Antarctic expedition team in China. The loader followed the "Xuelong" from Shanghai to the Antarctic Zhongshan Station. This is his fourth time to set foot on Antarctic land.

At Zhongshan Station, there are a total of 5 XGMA equipment including 1 XGMA forklift, 3 loaders, and 1 excavator. Among them, XGMA 40 loaders came to the station in 2005 and have withstood the Antarctic cold, low temperature, strong winds and shortages. After 17 years of tests in extremely harsh environments such as oxygen, in the construction of the station area, with the high quality of XGMA, it will continue to play an important role. It can be seen that XGMA loader is the longest representative product of my country’s loader industry. Classic quality.

A little different from Wang Ronghui’s logistics support work at the Great Wall Station, Xiao Guan cleared that he had to work with his teammates to complete the mechanical equipment support work at Zhongshan Station, and he also participated in the construction of the new apron, new maintenance room, and radar station at Zhongshan Station. And road construction.

During the construction process, he drove the XG958H loader, a new generation of high-end product from XGMA, to work efficiently and safely in the extremely harsh environment of Antarctica, and cooperated with the construction to help the new construction of Zhongshan Station be completed on schedule.

During the Antarctic expedition, Wang Ronghui and Xiao Guanqing were able to carry forward and carry forward the "spirit of military rank protection." Wang Ronghui and Xiao Guanqing operated almost all snowmobiles, loaders, snowmobiles, freight trucks, trolleys, excavators, cranes, rubber dinghies, etc. on their respective stations. Carry out repairs, maintenance and parts management for each vehicle, whether it is driving the vehicle to pick up the scientific research personnel for field investigations, or carrying out engineering construction in the station, maintaining roads, unloading materials at the dock, or driving a rubber boat out of the field to assist in inspections and transport materials by sea And so on, they are all pioneers, dedicated to their responsibilities, and fulfill their mission.

Wang Ronghui and Xiao Guanqing perform equipment maintenance at the Great Wall Station in Antarctica.

Up to now, more than 20 technicians and more than 30 people have participated in the Antarctic expeditions. Xiagong wheel loaders, crawler excavators, forklifts, etc. have successively contributed to the Antarctic scientific expedition, and the possession of equipment has reached 18 sets. Xiamen Work is one of the representatives of my country's independent national brand of construction machinery. Since 1992, it has participated in the national Antarctic scientific expedition 26 times, fully demonstrating the love and dedication of Xiamen workers, the feelings of family and the country, and the extreme harsh natural environment of Xiamen workers. Good quality in.

Challenge is more important than glory, and responsibility is above all else!

The "Spirit of Gaijun Rank" has inspired generations of Xiamen workers, and also allowed the flag of China's construction machinery independent national brand to fly high on the Antarctic continent, continuing to write Xiamen workers' Antarctic ice and snow love!
