Chapter 678 The imminent fresh water crisis!
"Based on these meteorological data, we can see that when the planting area of 'perfect desert sweet potato' exceeds 30% in the desert edge area, it can effectively slow down the expansion rate of desertification because an oasis climate has initially formed and the air humidity increases.
, the rainfall will also increase slightly..."
Guan Weizhao talked for nearly ten minutes with the ppt chart:
"Our final conclusion is that as long as we achieve a planting rate of 65% of the 'perfect desert sweet potato' in desert edge areas within five years, we can basically completely curb the process of desertification."
"Once the planting rate exceeds 80%, the advance of green and the retreat of sand will become an inevitable result, and sandstorms will be greatly restricted. The probability of occurrence of super-large sandstorms sweeping several provinces will be reduced to 0%, and the downward trend of rainfall can also be curbed. , it is expected that the rainfall in desert areas will only drop by about 1% in five years compared with this year, but the temperature will still increase by about 2 degrees Celsius. After all, the temperature increase is caused by the global environment. Only my country grows the 'perfect desert sweet potato' ', cannot change the climate trend of global warming."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and looked excited.
Ning Zongxun and Ji Xiuyu looked at each other and smiled. After arriving at such a result, the couple could finally talk to their superiors.
Someone joked: "Director Ning, Academician Ji, your beloved and your son-in-law are amazing. We had a big problem that we had a headache and worried about, so we couldn't eat or sleep well. They solved it in a flash. Sure enough, the tiger father has no dog daughter, which is amazing."
!”
Everyone responded:
"That's right. I also heard that they created a 'computing seed science' and became the founder of the sect. Unfortunately, I haven't had time in the past two days to learn more about it. I heard Assistant Wang mention that the industry has no idea about this 'computing seed science'.
Seed science is highly respected, and it is said that even this 'perfect desert sweet potato' was developed through computational seed science."
"This is really amazing. What a terrifying young man! I really envy you two for having such an outstanding daughter and son-in-law."
"Are Professor Ning and Professor Qin coming to visit relatives these two days? Are they coming today or tomorrow? Director Ning, can you introduce us to such young talents?"
Ning Zongxun and Ji Xiuyu were also in a good mood. As their colleagues said, the invention of their daughter and Ning Qingyun was so timely and crucial, and it instantly solved the problem they were worried about.
And through this "perfect desert sweet potato", they also felt for the first time that their daughter and future son-in-law had indeed grown into excellent scientists. At this time, listening to the "praising" of their colleagues, they were still very happy.
So cool.
This is what happens when you have children. Children are the continuation of your own life. As long as your children can achieve results and receive awards from others, parents will always be prouder and prouder than your own achievements.
Ning Zongxun looked at the clock hanging on the wall, and couldn't help but smile on his tired face: "They will come over tonight, and it is estimated to be about this time. Xiao Wang has already gone to wait to pick them up.
This time is a special benefit from the superiors, so don’t be jealous."
"Great, are they arriving soon? Then you and Academician Ji should stop having meetings here. Leave the next report to us. You two can go and reunite with your relatives."
"That's right, Director Ning, all of us have gone home to visit relatives at least three times in the past nine years. You two have not been back home much in the past nine years. Director Ning and Academician Ji, you two have at least
You haven’t seen your daughter for eight years, right?”
Speaking of this, everyone could not hide the admiration and respect in their eyes.
The excellent qualities of "leading by example and putting others before yourself" are vividly demonstrated by Ning Zongxun and Ji Xiuyu.
In order to ensure the progress of the research and to maintain confidentiality, the number of people who can take leave to visit relatives is limited each year. At most, only a quarter of the people can take a short leave to visit relatives.
However, Ning Zongxun and Ji Xiuyu gave up their quotas to their subordinates every time without using the privileges of the director's status. They were also on the front line of scientific research when doing research, and they lived and ate together with ordinary researchers.
They take the lead in complying with any regulations and hold themselves to stricter requirements than others. How can such a leader be so unpopular?
To be honest, if Ning Zongxun and Ji Xiuyu, outstanding academicians with first-class character and knowledge as leaders, had worked for more than ten years in such an underground research institute that never saw the light of day, it is estimated that most people would suffer mentally even if they did not go crazy.
No, I would rather break the rules and try my best to leave.
It can be said that the researchers in this institute can maintain overall stability, the turnover rate is extremely low, and the team's cohesion and combat effectiveness are better than most scientific research teams. Ning Zongxun and Ji Xiuyu should be credited with the greatest contribution.
So when I heard that the superiors made an exception and specially arranged for Ning Qingyun and Qin Ke to come over to meet the two academicians, no one showed any jealousy or imbalance. Instead, they were full of blessings and were happy for the two academicians.
Ji Xiuyu smiled and said: "Okay, then we will accept everyone's sentiment and leave first. I will trouble you with the report. Then Xiaoguan will cooperate with you to provide the deduction results of the mathematical model. This Spring Festival, we will strive for more from the top.
We will try our best to allow half of our vacation quotas to go home for the New Year!”
Her expression also relaxed. According to the latest deduction results from the Mathematics Application Group, the probability of the "first sign" of "world collapse" has been greatly reduced. The institute does not need to be too anxious. It can arrange for researchers to visit relatives in batches. She
Maybe I and my husband Ning Zongxun can go home during the Spring Festival this year and enjoy a week or so with their daughter.
Just as Ji Xiuyu was about to stand up, Ning Zongxun suddenly asked: "Xiaoguan, do you have anything else to say?"
But Ning Zongxun noticed that Guan Weizhao, the leader of the mathematics application group, hesitated to speak several times.
Guan Weizhao scratched his head and said with some embarrassment: "I'm so sorry, Director Ning, Academician Ji, I still have something to report."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Everyone started shouting: "I say Xiaoguan, you should be more careful. If it's not important, just wait until tomorrow to report it. Director Ning and the others are still in a hurry now."
I’m going to meet my daughter and have a family reunion.”
"That's right, you nerd doesn't know how to look at the atmosphere all day long. If it weren't for the fact that the leaders of this research institute are Academician Ning and Academician Ji, you would have worn small shoes countless times in the research institute outside."
Guan Weizhao blushed and couldn't continue talking.
Ning Zongxun waved his hand, and the surrounding area immediately became quiet. Ning Zongxun said warmly: "Xiaoguan, please continue talking first, we won't miss this for a while."
He knows Guan Weizhao's strengths and weaknesses very well. His strengths are high level of mathematics, strong logical thinking, practical and rigorous work, and the level of mathematical modeling is second to none in the research institute. At the age of twelve, he passed the college entrance examination and entered Charcot's junior class. Twenty-one
He graduated with a doctorate at the age of 18 and was once a famous mathematical genius.
But his shortcomings are also very obvious. He has a somewhat dull personality, does not understand the world, and does not know how to read people's faces. He often offends people with his outspoken words without realizing it. For example, when he first came to the institute, he once said it at a mathematics exchange meeting.
"You can't solve such a simple problem? Didn't you graduate from elementary school?" It can be said that this is a typical example of high IQ and low EQ.
Over the years, under the patient guidance and care of Ning Zongxun and his wife, Guan Weizhao's behavior has become much more normal now, and he can barely fulfill the duties of a team leader, but his emotional intelligence is still slightly lower than that of ordinary people.
For such a flawed mathematical genius, Ning Zongxun was naturally more careful and patient than ordinary people.
Looking at Director Ning's gentle look, Guan Weizhao finally spoke:
"Director Ning, did you mention the planting area of the 'Perfect Desert Sweet Potato' in the report just now? I have conducted another simulation calculation of water consumption. Although planting this variety of sweet potato saves water, the original desert
Marginal areas are areas that are short of water and rain. Once the planting area exceeds 50%, the water resources in the above areas will be obviously tight, which will affect the normal daily water use of humans and animals. Even if Professor Ning's 'precision drip irrigation' technology is adopted, once the planting area is
If the planting rate exceeds 65%, the water shortage problem will still become a serious problem that cannot be ignored."
He opened a new statistical chart: "Moreover, in the next five years, rainfall in the entire world will decrease, and the Danshui crisis will become a major issue that cannot be ignored by all countries. Let's not mention other countries. Just our country wants to
To increase the planting rate of the 'perfect desert sweet potato' to more than 65%, we must solve the problem of serious lack of water resources. Whether it is south-to-north water diversion or increased river dredging, the country must pay more attention to it and put it on the agenda as soon as possible.
."
Guan Weizhao opened the map again, pointed at a certain area and said: "Of course, I have another suggestion, which is to strengthen the research and development of saltwater lake dewatering and seawater dewatering technology. For example, in the northwest, there is my country's largest inland saltwater lake - Qinghai Lake. , its total area is more than 4,300 square kilometers, with an average water depth of 21 meters and a maximum depth of 32 meters. It contains a huge amount of water. However, because it is a saltwater lake, it can neither be drank nor used for irrigation. If there is enough low-cost saltwater dilution With technology, we can use this Qinghai Lake to basically solve the problem of lack of water resources in desert areas."
At this point, he was a little embarrassed and said: "How about you two ask Professor Qin and Professor Ning to try hard in this direction? They can even research the 'Desert Sweet Potato' and solve the problem of salt water and sea water.
Danhua technology shouldn’t be a problem, right?”
Someone laughed and scolded: "Xiaoguan, do you really think that Professor Qin and Professor Ning are universal inventors? Can they specialize in industry? They are mathematicians and physicists. Now at most, biologists can be added. How can you still
Do you want them to be chemists anymore?"
However, some people retorted: "No, I think what Xiaoguan said makes sense. Regardless of seawater denaturation or saltwater denaturation, it only separates salt and water from the mixture state, and no new substances are generated in the process.
, the changes that occurred are physical changes, they are physicists, maybe they can really develop new technologies that are low-cost and can be promoted on a large scale."
A mature and prudent person said: "Okay, okay, let's talk about this later. Let's not delay Director Ning and Academician Ji's reunion with their daughters. Xiaoguan, please tell us about the lack of Danshui and the relevant data."
Report it all together and we'll just write it in the report."
"That's right, that's right, Director Ning, you are leaving soon. Leave it to us. The report will be handed over to your desks tomorrow."
Ning Zongxun and Ji Xiuyu really missed their daughter. After giving a few simple instructions, they left the large conference room and hurried away in the direction of the small conference room where they would receive guests.
