Chapter 617: Desert sweet potatoes that can be grown in barren near-desert areas are born!(1/2)
The call was from Hao Jianchang, the president of the Xia Guo Mathematical Society.
"Qin Ke, are you and Xiaoning busy lately? Do you have time to come over and attend the year-end report meeting of our Mathematics Society?" Hao Jianchang and Qin Ke are "old friends", and they have been close since Qin Ke participated in the National Mathematical Olympiad.
They became familiar with each other, and later Qin Ke visited him from time to time after arriving in the capital, and the friendship between the two parties became deeper and deeper.
Hao Jianchang was the one who witnessed Qin Ke's rise to the top of mathematics. However, because of his good personal relationship and his familiarity with Qin Ke's character, he was not as polite as others.
Qin Ke replied with a smile: "President Hao, you have spoken. Qingyun and I are only here for your sake, and we will definitely be there. Besides, you have taken great care of us. Do you want us to prepare a report or something?"
?”
Hao Jianchang couldn't help but laugh. This kid was already a Fields Medal winner and also won the first prize of the National Natural Science Award. However, his personality had not changed much, and he had no arrogance. It was really rare.
"Okay, I will arrange for the formal invitation letter to be sent to Qingmu University before tomorrow. As for the academic report, there is no need for it. I know that you are very busy recently, and I am afraid that you will not be able to spare much time to prepare the academic report."
"So Qingyun and I can just show up and have some candies and refreshments while listening to the report?"
"Now that you are attending as guests, it is the greatest support for our Mathematical Society. Oh, by the way, if possible, I would like to ask you two to be the presenters of the Chung Jiaqing Mathematics Award and help present the award."
Awards? Qin Ke has won many awards, but he has never presented an award. Qin Ke said readily: "No problem, this is an honor for me and Qingjun."
"Qin Ke, I know your personality is like this. You don't like to be aloof and separated from the masses, but you still have to be aware of your identity." Hao Jianchang persuaded with a smile:
"You and Xiao Ning are both Fields Medal winners. When you come to present the award, it is much more important than me, the president of the Mathematics Society, awarding the award. If it weren't for the fact that the winners of the Hua Luogeng Mathematics Prize and Chen Shengshen Mathematics Prize are older than you.
Too many, and it would make them feel awkward and unnatural to present the awards to you. You are fully qualified to be the presenters of these two mathematics awards."
This is also the disadvantage of Qin Ke and Ning Qingjun being too young. Even if they are the winners of the Philippine Prize, two boys and girls in their early twenties can award awards to old mathematicians in their forties, fifties or even sixties or seventies.
...This picture is really...
I have to say that Hao Jianchang's consideration is very thoughtful. We can't let the seniors have to face such an embarrassing moment after winning an award, right?
But the Chung Jiaqing Mathematics Award is different. It is awarded to the best master's and doctoral students in mathematics. Qin Ke's status as professors plus the status of the Philippine Prize eldest brother, the reputation of Nobel University, and the age of the winner
The gap is not big, so it is very appropriate to be the guest of honor for the Chung Jiaqing Mathematics Award.
"Okay, that's it, I won't disturb you anymore. See you in a week."
After ending the call, Qin Ke smiled at Ning Qingyun next to him and said, "Did you hear that? Next Tuesday night, let's go to the Mathematics Society to eat and drink."
Because everyone in the laboratory became quiet when they saw Qin Ke listening to the phone, and Hao Jianchang's voice was relatively loud. In fact, most of the conversation between the two was heard by several colleagues nearby. Postdoctoral fellow Deng Zhaoliang was standing next to Qin Ke, so he naturally heard more.
clear.
He was secretly stunned. He was still worrying about his future job. Junior Qin Ke and junior Ning Qingyun were already going to be the award presenters...
The gap between people is really huge.
Then I thought about it, I actually wanted to compete with the Philippine Prize winner... Deng Zhaoliang couldn't help but laugh at himself, was he overestimating his abilities?
But... I'm still really envious.
Deng Zhaoliang clenched his fists and decided not to go home during the Spring Festival, but to stay in the laboratory and do more experiments.
…
The Spring Festival is getting closer and closer, and Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun are also writing their final papers smoothly.
The two of them are very experienced in writing papers. They wrote the paper entirely in English. The original theoretical part was already written. At this time, they attached the specific experimental plan, experimental data, charts, as well as the name of the laboratory, the model of the experimental equipment, and the experiments.
Time is enough, it only took about three days to write.
The first author was naturally Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun. As for the second author, the two included all their colleagues who participated in the experimental part, including Deng Zhaoliang. There were almost ten people.

As for the journal to submit the article to, after discussion between the two, they finally chose "Physical Review Letters" (PRL for short).
This is a top journal in physics. It is published by the American Physical Society. It mainly publishes original and innovative important physics research results. It has a high reputation in the world. It is almost impossible to publish your own research results on prl.
Every physics person’s dream and glory.
"Physical Review Letters" is a weekly magazine. The number of articles published in each issue is about forty or fifty, and it can publish nearly two hundred papers a month.
It may seem like a large number, but there are even more physicists who submit papers. Almost all physicists from all over the world contribute to "Physical Review Letters", and nearly a thousand high-quality papers are received every month.
There are even more papers that cannot pass the initial review by technical editors.
So despite the fact that nearly 200 papers can be published in a month, if you want to publish a paper in "Physical Review Letters", you still need to "kill the blood".
However, Qin Ke and Ning Qingjun are very confident in their paper "Research on the Changing Characteristics of Large-Scale Circulation Forms Using the N-S Equation". Not to mention the understanding and derivation of the N-S Equation, they only use the N-S Equation to study turbulent thermal convection.
It is extremely creative to study the large-scale circulation.
"Done." It was noon on Friday. After completing the submission on his laptop at home, Qin Ke stretched out and said, "Jun'er, it's almost time for us to pack our things and go to the prairie."
Jiang Weixian's laboratory had announced a holiday yesterday. Qin Ke and Qin Ke were mainly busy with this paper, otherwise they would have been packing their luggage today. They only waited for two days to attend the year-end meeting of the Mathematical Society before setting off for the prairie.
See the actual student aid situation of Qing Ning Student Aid Foundation, and then return to my hometown Yuanzhou to celebrate the New Year.
Ning Qingyun served him the brewed black tea, pursed her lips and said with a smile: "By the way, Qing Ning Technology is also going to have a holiday?"
"I don't know, it should be soon. Last year, the holiday was almost five days before the Spring Festival, so that employees who are not in the capital can return home early to reunite with their families."
Neither of them bothered much with the management of Qing Ning Technology, including when it took holidays. CEO Zhou Shutao had managed the company in an orderly manner in the past few years, so they didn't need to worry about it at all.
In order to commend the achievements of the company's backbones, the two are also discussing rewarding the management team headed by Zhou Shutao and the scientific research team headed by Wei Xueming in the form of virtual stocks.
The so-called virtual stock refers to virtual equity that has dividend rights but does not have the rights and interests of ordinary shareholders (such as voting rights, distribution rights, etc.). It is often given free of charge by the company to key employees and management. It is a method of equity incentive.
To enhance employees' sense of ownership and responsibility and better serve the company.
After all, getting virtual shares means that you can enjoy the distribution of the company's after-tax profits in the form of dividends in proportion.
Qing Ning Technology is now developing better and better. Although half of the total profits will be donated to the "Ling Ning Student Aid Foundation", the remaining amount is still astonishing.
According to the latest financial statements, Qingning Technology’s final after-tax profit last year (after deducting 50% of donations) still reached more than 500 million yuan. This is mainly due to licensing fees for mobile and server operating systems.
It has begun a period of explosive growth and continues to expand its market share. There are also huge benefits brought by seed patents. In addition, mathematics teaching materials continue to sell well at home and abroad. Mathematical models of vaccine adjuvants are used in major universities and research institutes, biopharmaceuticals
The popularity in the company has also brought considerable benefits.
Now, in the Green Brown Plant Breeding Laboratory, continuous hybridization and optimization of rice, rapeseed, corn and other seeds are still being carried out. It is expected that new patents will be born this year, and the final profit this year is estimated to be only higher than last year.
Seeing that the team's morale and sense of belonging are both good, equity incentives at this time will undoubtedly improve the cohesion of Qinglin Technology and reduce the chances of job-hopping and poaching.
After discussion, the two finally decided to take out 10% of the virtual equity as an equity incentive for the management team and scientific research team. Moreover, this is an additional reward and does not conflict with the year-end bonus.
After making the decision, Qin Ke called Zuo Yipeng, the HR director of Qingning Technology, and asked him to find the company's legal team to draw up the corresponding virtual equity details and submit them to him and Ning Qingyun for signature.
Zuo Yipeng didn't expect that the boss would have such a big gift package. He almost couldn't believe his ears. He made sure it again before happily patting his chest and saying that it would be done.
Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun looked at each other and smiled, and were about to go to the kitchen to make lunch together when Qin Ke's cell phone rang again.
This time it was Wei Xueming calling.
Old Wei's voice was so excited that his voice trembled: "Mr. Qin, Mr. Ning, our experiment was successful! According to the experimental plan you formulated last time, the 'new desert sweet potato' was successfully cultivated!"
Qin Ke and Qin Ke were so surprised and happy that they didn't bother to cook. They went to a nearby restaurant to have a casual meal, then got into assistant Fang Yongtang's car and headed to the lime plant breeding laboratory.
When they arrived at the laboratory, Wei Xueming and the members of the third group were already waiting at the door with excited and festive faces. As soon as they saw the two, they took them into the greenhouse.
I saw lush green plants growing in a semi-desert land enclosed by glass partitions, and the growth was gratifying.
Ning Qingyun went over and stretched out his hand to pick up the sand. This was almost arid and barren land that was half sand and half soil. Except for a few desert plants such as cactus, sea buckthorn, and Haloxylon ammodendron, not even grass could grow. But now
These new varieties of sweet potatoes, whose leaves are half smaller than those of ordinary sweet potatoes but twice as thick, grow extremely luxuriantly, almost covering the entire experimental plot.
Wei Xueming pushed up his glasses and explained excitedly: "Mr. Qin, Mr. Ning, we have cultivated this through six stages of repeated crosses. It is very close to the results you deduced through 'computational seed science'. Although the fruit is smaller,
, the yield per mu is estimated to be around two thousand kilograms, but it is already the most productive desert crop in the world!"
As he spoke, he carefully leaned down, dug up the soil, and quickly dug out a large bunch of sweet potatoes the size of a baby's fist.
"Look! Success is bearing fruit!"
The members of the third group gathered around, their eyes sparkling, full of pride and joy.
Qin Ke had already successfully cultivated new desert sweet potatoes in the virtual scientific research experiment center based on the A-level knowledge "Cultivation Method of New Desert Sweet Potatoes". At this time, observing the appearance of the leaves and fruits, they were almost the same as the new desert sweet potatoes he had cultivated.
The sweet potatoes are exactly the same.
Then I took the sweet potato and wiped it clean and took a bite. It was exceptionally sweet and glutinous, and the unique taste that made people have endless aftertaste also overlapped with what I remembered.
Qin Ke went there in person and slowly dug out a whole sweet potato with a small hoe. He saw that the root system was so developed that it could reach ten meters deep into the ground.
This is indeed the new variety of desert sweet potato described in the A-level knowledge "Cultivation Method of New Desert Sweet Potato"!
Qin Ke suppressed his excitement and asked about the special protective potion.
He will never forget the vitality and reproductive ability of the desert sweet potato, which is so powerful that it is almost like a bug.
Wei Xueming waved, and soon a team member brought a sprayer from the second group, which had been filled with potion in advance.
"This is the latest achievement of the second group, which can quickly wither the spreading desert sweet potatoes in a very short period of time."
This time Ning Qingyun took the sprayer with interest and sprayed it on a new type of desert sweet potato in the corner.
Sure enough, after only a short while, the desert sweet potatoes slowly turned yellow and withered at a speed visible to the naked eye, and it was estimated that they would completely wither in less than a day.
The experimental results made Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun extremely satisfied. Qin Ke faced everyone's expectant eyes and announced with a smile: "Now I announce that the 'new desert sweet potato first generation version' has been successfully hybridized!"
Desert sweet potatoes that can be grown in barren near-desert areas are born! The confrontation between humans and deserts is about to usher in a new situation! Whether it is for desert management or for solving the food crisis, it has world-class significance!
