On October 21, 2015 (September 9, 2015 in the lunar calendar), Zhou Guotai, "the father of Chinese body armor", was investigated. Zhou Guotai, a rare senior scientific and technological talent in the military, eventually lost his way. On October 21, 2015, it was announced that, with the approval of the Discipline Inspection Commission of the Military Commission, the Discipline Inspection Commission of the General Logistics Department had opened an investigation into Zhou Guotai, the former vice minister of the Military Supplies and Oil Department of the General Logistics Department, for suspected serious disciplinary violations. Recently, his suspected criminal problems and clues have been transferred to the military procuratorial organs for investigation. According to public information, Zhou Guotai was elected as an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering in 1999 and has long been engaged in the research of materials, military and civilian functional clothing and individual protection. He has achieved many achievements in bulletproof equipment, special protective clothing and cold-proof and warm materials. Four years ago, the Science Times published an article entitled "Academician Zhou Guotai: Using Protection to Create Combat Power", pointing out that Zhou Guotai first saw aramid body armor at an international technology exchange conference held in Beijing in 1987. The aramid body armor of the United States is considered world-class. At that time, it was placed on a conference table in the Sichuan Hotel in Beijing. He wanted to touch it but was rejected. Therefore, body armor became one of Zhou Guotai's important research topics. To this end, he studied for a doctoral degree at China Textile University and conducted many tests with many veteran workers in Anshan Iron and Steel, and finally developed the world's toughest bulletproof steel plate. From 1987 to 1990, just three years later, Zhou Guotai led a research team to create China's first batch of top-notch body armor - Protector God. The article said that for protection, Zhou Guotai, who is respected by everyone as the "father of Chinese body armor", believes that a good commander is to protect soldiers and minimize casualties. With more and more only children among soldiers, the after-effects of war casualties will be manifested for many years. Then, protecting the lives of soldiers and protecting our living forces are more important than other things. The article mentioned that in 1990, China will host the 11th Asian Games. In order to improve the level of safety protection, the relevant departments decided to buy a batch of "Kaifra" body armor from abroad. At this moment, Zhou Guotai stood up and said: "We also have body armor, buy ours, it is not worse than foreign countries!" But at that time, there was no domestic report on it. Zhou Guotai knew that only a competition can convince people to challenge "Kaifra". After ten shots were fired, the people present rushed to see the results: the same five bullets, the American "Kaifra" body armor left two round bullet holes, and the "Protector" brand body armor only rubbed a few white marks. Later, Zhou Guotai tested the body armor with ceramics, constantly studying the performance of the body armor. According to the article, as early as the 1980s, Zhou Guotai began to study our country's own individual protection system. He said: "The bulletproof vest or the helmet is also good, one is the bulletproof performance, the other is the matching, and the third is the strict requirements for the dress of the bulletproof vest. Take the United States as an example, wearing body armor and helmets on the battlefield can reduce the battlefield mortality rate by 70% to 90%. The body armor is called a life vest by them, which is a very important factor in ensuring the victory of the war." Zhou Guotai's earliest job in the army was actually to guard the orchard of the General Logistics Department. In the eyes of many people, he was a troublesome soldier. However, some leaders liked his honesty and persistence and transferred him to the atomic bomb testing base in Lop Nur. There, Zhou Guotai's task was to raise dogs, and these dogs were used for nuclear radiation testing of atomic bombs. " At that time, our group was responsible for the research of protective materials for textile materials. For example, in the case of light radiation, that is, in the case of a nuclear explosion, different fabrics, different tissues, and different matching have a protective effect on the light radiation of our experimental dogs. Clothes are specially made for dogs, and all kinds of clothes have specific protection standards. Some clothes leave holes in different parts of the dog's body, and observe the situation of the dog being burned. "Zhou Guotai recalled that he was very impressed when he raised dogs." Others raised 4 or 6 dogs, but I raised 36 dogs. At that time, I was really tired. I had to clean the dog cage every day, put the dog and feed the dog. They are doing medical research, and we are studying burns, so we need a lot of dogs. " The article concludes that in the 1970s, Zhou Guotai entered Sun Yat-sen University to study polymer chemistry, and after graduation, he returned to the Institute of Quartermaster Equipment of the General Logistics Department to engage in military logistics support research. During three border wars in 1979, he visited the front line three times to understand the needs of combat soldiers. Zhou Guotai once asked the researchers to make the standard of compressed biscuits so that even babies can eat it, and during the development process, the researchers had to eat this food three times a day until they had no reaction. He asked every comrade in the institute to conduct scientific research with emotion. "Without emotion, you can't come up with good things," he said.
