Dream Chaser 丨 Ding Weiwei, a researcher at the second institute: listening to the magical "sound" of the sea floor

Zhejiang News Client reporter He Dongjian

In 2021, Ding Weiwei carried out scientific research in the Arctic.

Ding Weiwei: Researcher of the Second Ocean Research Institute of the Ministry of Natural Resources, deputy director of the Ministry of Natural Resources Department of the Ministry of Natural Resources, is mainly engaged in the research of the edge dynamics of the mainland and the research and dynamic process. Hosted and participated in a number of national and provincial -level fund projects, and published more than 70 papers in well -known publications at home and abroad. He has been selected as the "New Century 151 Talent Project", the youth science and technology innovation talents of the Ministry of Natural Resources, and the high -level scientific and technological innovation talents of the Ministry of Natural Resources.

Dream chasing quotation: "As long as I need me science, I will start the next sailing."

At the age of 45, it may be a "young impulse" age for many people, but this is obviously not Ding Weiwei. The marine geological scientist of the Second Ocean Research Institute of the Ministry of Natural Resources is 45 years old. All the progress of the world's forefront, especially the colorful marine geological field, has always touched his curiosity.

In July last year, he also joined the team of Academician Li Jiabiao, the director of the Marine Second Institute to inspect the North Pole to conduct research on the underwater geological structure in the extreme environment. In October this year, he planned to go to the Western Pacific, hoping to unlock the mysteries of the formation of its multiple dive systems and the island arc. He has always been with the ocean and is about to reach a total sailing record of 30,000 hours.

In Ding Wei's office, the banner of the "Cedar 2" polar inspection ship is hung, which is the signature of all scientific research players. Three large sea maps are sticking to the most conspicuous places with tape. Which sea area should I go to check next? This is a question that Ding Weiwei stares at Haitu every day.

"Listening to the sea floor" -the people took such a nickname to Ding Weiwei. This is not a compliment, but a precise definition of him -as a scientist, he has the ambition to explore the deep world world and achieve many milestones. The most important thing is that he continues to fight.

Curious about "polar password"

Recently, I visited Ding Weiwei in Hangzhou. When he greeted me, he wore a loose stripes and shirt, which looked relaxed and comfortable.

Ding Weiwei focuses on the research of the edge dynamics and underwater evolution and dynamic processes of the mainland. In layman's terms, how the mainland is broken and how the ocean is formed. Of course, there are extraordinary meticulous observations, extremely complicated calculations and simulation.

The reason for the formation of the South China Sea is Ding Wei's most important research results. During the chat, he used the "cream sandwich biscuits" to make a metaphor: "The rock ring on the bottom of the South China Sea, the top layer on the top layer is like crispy biscuits, and there is a layer of the floor in the middle, like a flexible cream sandwich. After the plate is expanded The biscuits will be broken one by one, and the sandwich is more and more long. The new scientific connotation of the constructive theory of the super continent is also one of the important basis for the South China Sea oil and gas exploration and island reef development.

Ding Weiwei likes to think about the problem quietly. When his thoughts are completely devoted into the endless scientific ocean, there are often some unconscious movements. For example, he turned the pen and turned very slippery, and occasionally "hit" and fell on the table before he woke up. In such an environment, fresh ideas one after another continue to emerge in his mind, and it is difficult for others to keep up with his rhythm.

The deep structure of the Arctic Ocean has always been a worse part of the global sector structure research. Based on the curiosity of unbuttoning the polar password, in July last year, Ding Weiwei and the Earth Physics team made an ice underwater earthquake detection on the Arctic Ocean for the first time, using domestic instrument equipment to obtain a lot of data, and ensured 97.7%of the equipment recovery rate.

"This trip is extremely high!" He said excitedly. Due to the complex environment of the bottom of the ice area, it is generally believed to be difficult to salvage in the world. This sailing verification has verified the ability of key domestic equipment such as the underwater seismometer to operate in extreme environments, and forms a series of ice -area exploration methods and operation processes, marking that my country already has the high -weft polar ice area detection of the sea floor detection of the sea floor. Autonomous operational ability.

"I have a dream to set the underwater seismizer densely to any place I think, and I can successfully obtain the monitoring data of the underwater geological movement." Ding Weiwei said. This is how he enjoys the purity and vastness of the ocean.

Prepare the next sailing at all times

Ding Weiwei was a bit shy about. As an old "navy" who had been in the industry, he still couldn't overcome the problem of seasickness.

The first time he went to sea at the age of 21, he participated in a offshore voyage of the Ocean II, staying on a small fishing boat, and continuous sampling in the Causeway Waterway in Hong Kong for up to 24 hours. As a result, as soon as he got on the ship, the sea immediately gave him a heavy blow. The boat was like a leaf on the vast sea, shaking beyond imagination. The severe seasickness made him vomit.

For the scientific researchers of the Ocean II, it is the norm for two or three months a year. Even due to the influence of seasickness, Ding Wei's body still has a mysterious energy. In last year's Arctic Scientific Examination, after nearly 36 consecutive hours of ice -breaking, sampling, recycling and other intensive work, young researchers with him will work, and he participated in the work throughout the process, still shaking. Moreover, he will write a navigation diary in the gap. When the scientific research players greeted Ding Weiwei, they could feel his full vitality, as if they were showing confidently: Hi, I am from the ocean! Ding Weiwei told me with a smile: "As long as science needs me, I will start sailing next time."

When facing heavy scientific research tasks, academicians and "big cows" standing in the "first row" were facing heavy scientific research tasks, often making everyone feel safe and assured. Today, Ding Weiwei has become those who stood in the "first row" that made him feel safe and assured. In what direction everyone should everyone in the laboratory, where the project is developing, can get the optimal solution, which has become what he should worry about.

Scientists who do not do "face"

Ding Wei's WeChat avatar is a white polar bear standing up and wearing an orange -yellow work. In his office, he specially made a wall in his office to post similar cartoon paintings -the "masterpiece" full of walls came from his daughter's observation and imagination of his work on weekdays.

"I always think that doing science should not be a very bitter thing." In scientific research, Ding Weiwei hated "very dry". He felt that he was the kind of person who was "smart and lazy with a little laziness".

Ding Weiwei set a schedule for himself -the day was a job, and his family returned to scientific research after falling asleep, and the period in the middle was left to his family. In Ding Wei's eyes, the process of chatting and relaxing with his family often brings himself some new highlights and sparks.

A prize won the first place in the "Sherong 2" singing contest. Ding Weiwei was brighter every day and placed in the most prominent place in the office. Colleagues said that every time he talked to others, Ding Weiwei had to play with himself to sing the results of the runner -up contest at the Yuquan Campus of Zhejiang University when he read the blog.

Ding Weiwei said that being a "face" scientist is not his own personality. He still maintained his hobbies for the game in his days. When he first commented on the National Outstanding Youth Science Fund in 2020, he collected a circle on the Internet and rewarded himself a set of "Call of Duty 14".

Regardless of scientific research or in life, Ding Weiwei is full of enthusiasm and not fear of challenges. Just as he wrote in the sailing diary: "Life grows in the storm, and walks in the waves to feel shock and love."
