Chapter 729: Sudden crisis and request for help!
Qin Ke took Ning Qingyun and Qin Xiaoke to stay in the prairie for three days, inspecting the student aid situation in more than a dozen small villages.
The three of them received a grand and warm welcome in these villages. Many villages heard that the three of them had arrived, and they braved the still biting cold wind to greet them at the entrance of the village with their young and old in tow.
People’s hearts are made of flesh. Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun’s “Ling Ning Educational Aid Foundation” selflessly donates to support education, just to solve the problem of nearby schools for children who have difficulty in going to school here. What’s more, they donated a lot this winter
The supplies have helped the village survive the most difficult winter in history. In addition, they have also developed "special cold-resistant type II" winter wheat, so that their livelihood will not be cut off in such a harsh winter. It is expected that they will have good crops in June and July this year.
harvest.
All kinds of favors add up to a great favor that cannot be repaid. For the poor people in these villages, they just want to go out of their hearts to repay a favor. Therefore, many people have their whole families, old and young, lying on the cold ground. They are the worst people on the prairie.
Salute them with solemn etiquette.
After meeting Qin Ke and others in the first village, Huo Baoyan, the secretary-general of Qing Ning Student Aid Foundation, also accompanied him throughout the whole journey in these villages. Coupled with Namuhan, who was familiar with the customs here, Qin Ke was able to
People will not be in a hurry when facing the villagers' gifts.
Huo Baoyan also reported to Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun on the results and experience of student aid in the past year:
"The poverty and backwardness of these villages are ultimately due to inconvenient transportation. There are no specialties in the villages, no mineral resources, poor land, and insufficient water resources. So we have submitted an application to the council. The first step is to help
These villages have expanded and repaired the original bumpy village roads to the nearest towns, and then promoted the planting of our new 'lime' series of crops. This has to improve life in the villages and ensure that the children do not have to follow the adults to provide for their families.
If they worry about food and clothing and drop out of school, it can also help the teachers who come to teach to live a slightly better life. Therefore, the amount of donations from the prairie side this year will be two or three times higher than last year..."
Qin Ke said happily: "Sister Huo, you have done a good job. It would be crazy if Qingyun and I were to do these things. Just continue to promote according to this idea. It is best to form a classic case and a fixed process specification.
Let all student aid projects follow this model as much as possible. Don’t be afraid to spend more money. The purpose of student aid is not only to give children a place to go to school and have hope of changing their future lives, but also to allow them and teachers to
Stay in the built school with peace of mind and really study hard."
The most important elements of the school are not the teaching building and office, but the "teachers" and "students".
The teachers are basically young volunteer teachers recruited by the Qing Ning Student Aid Foundation from normal universities in various places. Their salaries are also paid by the Qing Ning Student Aid Foundation. They are basically not lower than the income of normal new teachers in big cities, and through
They promised in writing that as long as their performance is qualified within three years, they will be assigned to formally teach in a public school or private school in their favorite big city after the expiration of the term. They also stated that the better their performance, the better the school they will be assigned to.
excitation.
This rule was set by Qin Ke. He knew very well that feelings and dedication alone would not last long, so he had already won support from Uncle Chen Jingxue. Uncle Chen also greatly praised the Qing Ning Student Aid Foundation’s charity and arranged
Secretary Chu Shumin formed a process system for "accepting volunteer teachers and arranging them to teach in the city again" and announced it.
This prompted many volunteer teachers to be willing to teach in remote mountainous areas for three years without any worries.
At present, the first batch of teaching teachers contacted by the Qing Ning Student Aid Foundation - the three teachers from "Shicun Qing Ning Primary School" have completed their rotation and have all returned to teach in the city. They have initially formed a demonstration effect. The "teacher" factor can be regarded as
There is a guarantee.
Huo Baoyan's road construction and promotion of lime series of high-yielding and easy-to-grow crops can also improve the economic conditions of remote rural areas to a considerable extent, ensuring that school-age children can enter school normally and study with peace of mind, and the factors that trouble "students" have also been solved.
, Huo Baoyan made the greatest contribution in this regard.
In fact, it is the above-mentioned series of measures, coupled with the smooth operation of the Lime Student Aid Foundation, that makes each student aid project basically achieve the expected results.
After touring more than a dozen villages, Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun were quite satisfied, and they felt particularly satisfied when they saw the children's simple smiles.
Qin Xiaoke gained the most and had the most feelings from this trip. She has lived in a well-off family since she was a child. Although she is not as well-off as Ning Qingyun, she still has enough food and clothing. This is the first time for this little girl to come into contact with such a poor mountain village.
It gave her a big shock.
She brought a sketchbook with her on this trip and drew more than a dozen sketches during the trip. She said she would send them to her scarf when she returned, and called on netizens to actively donate to fund education.
The little girl’s scarf actually has nearly one million fans, making her a somewhat influential V.
Qin Xiaoke asked in confusion: "Brother, why don't you and your sister-in-law's 'Green Lemon Student Aid Foundation' accept donations from the public? Doesn't this give you more power to do good things?"
Qin Ke patiently explained to her the difference between public foundations and non-public foundations, and explained the reason why the "Ling Ning Student Aid Foundation" keeps a low profile and does not conduct publicity.
"The 'Ling Ning Student Aid Foundation' only accepts targeted donations from Qing Ning Technology, so it can operate completely according to the wishes of my sister-in-law and I. For example, it can support the construction of roads in the village. Instead of a public-funded student aid foundation, this
Expenditures will be difficult to pass the review. If you really want to appeal to netizens to donate, you can ask them to support the 'Hope Project' and the 'Spring Bud Project', which can also help children who are out of school."
"Brother, I want to be a cartoonist in the future. If I become famous, I will also hand over the copyright of the comics to Qing Ning Technology for operation, and then donate half of the income to Qing Ning Student Aid Foundation through Qing Ning Technology, and the rest
Just treat half of it as my salary and pay it back to me. What do you think?" the little girl said innocently.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Qin Ke feels funny in his heart. If you graduate from Central America and become a cartoonist, you don’t know if you will make your instructor crazy. And there are so many cartoonists.
It was not easy to get ahead? But in order to encourage his sister, he readily agreed.
Everyone had just finished inspecting a village and was about to move to the next destination when Qin Ke unexpectedly received a call from Uncle Yang Chengke:
"Qin Ke, are you still in the prairie?"
"Still in the prairie, what's the matter? Uncle Yang."
"If it's convenient, would you like to go back to the capital? There is a more important and urgent meeting to be held tomorrow morning. Xia Ke Academy would like to invite you and Xiaoning to attend the meeting. If you can return to Beijing, I will arrange flights for you.
OK."
Although there were still a few villages left to inspect, Qin Ke probably already knew the situation, and it didn't matter whether he went or not. Moreover, Qin Ke didn't want to accept the villagers' kneeling benefactor's gift anymore, so he said readily: "No problem.
Both Qingyun and I can come back."
"Okay, I have arranged the flight here and will let Chen Ming inform you. Chen Ming will take you to the nearest airport then."
"OK."
Uncle Yang didn't say anything on the phone, and Qin Ke didn't ask anything, but it would not be an ordinary meeting if he could bother Uncle Yang to invite him and Ning Qingyun in person, and the matter would definitely not be trivial. Since Uncle Yang
You can also guess something in the slightly serious voice.
Chen Ming and Chen Lan were responsible for the security work. After entering the prairie, they divided into two vehicles and followed Namuhan's off-road vehicle in tandem. At this time, Qin Ke briefly explained to Huo Baoyan and Namuhan the temporary situation in the capital.
There was something urgent to deal with, so he said goodbye to the two of them and took Ning Qingyun and Qin Xiaoke to Chen Ming and Chen Lan's car.
That afternoon, the three of them took a special plane and flew back to the capital.
Not long after the plane stopped, Uncle Yang called again and said that someone wanted to meet him and Ning Qingyun before the meeting. If possible, he asked Qin Ke to bring the two girls to his home for dinner.
Ning Qingyun and Qin Xiaoke couldn't hide their exhaustion on their faces. Their physiques were far inferior to Qin Ke's. Running around in the prairie during this period of time was enough trouble. They had to catch a plane all the way without much rest.
The special plane was a small plane, so it was quite bumpy during the flight, which caused them both to suffer a lot.
Qin Ke felt heartbroken. He thought that the dinner at night could not be just a dinner. It was estimated that there were many things to discuss before the meeting, so he asked Chen Lan to send his wife and sister back to the garden villa of Qingmu University to rest.
Ning Qingyun insisted on accompanying Qin Ke, and Qin Ke said warmly: "Good boy, you go home first and take good care of Xiaoke for me. You can also teach her the secrets of the East. This girl is a little otaku, and her physique is worse than yours."
, you will get sick if you don't take good care of it. I just went to Uncle Yang to understand the content of tomorrow's meeting so that I can be prepared. You can just attend the meeting with me tomorrow."
Qin Ke found such an extremely legitimate excuse that Ning Qingyun couldn't refuse. Ning Qingyun had no choice but to agree and made another phone call, then reluctantly pulled Qin Xiaoke and got into Chen Lan's car.
Return to Qingmu University.
Qin Ke himself got into Chen Ming's car and went straight to Uncle Yang's house.
When they arrived at the community where Uncle Yang's home was located, the lights were already on. Qin Ke got out of the car. The community was very safe, so naturally Chen Ming and others would not follow them if they stayed in the car.
Uncle Yang's secretary Lu Xinping was still waiting at the gate of the community early in the morning. When he saw Qin Ke arriving in a hurry, he hurriedly came over to greet him and shook hands with him vigorously: "Professor Qin, thank you for your hard work. You have traveled all the way.
Can rest."
Lu Xinping did not ask about Ning Qingyun and Qin Xiaoke. Qin Ke had already informed the two girls by phone in advance that they would go back to rest first.
Qin Ke smiled and joked: "If Uncle Yang didn't have something urgent to do, he wouldn't have summoned him so urgently. In addition, the opportunity to meet Brother Lu and chat with Uncle Yang is so rare that no one else can ask for it."
Come on, I must seize this rare opportunity."
Lu Xinping was praised invisibly and felt comfortable, especially what was Qin Ke's status now? Although he had no official position or position, his status in the eyes of Boss Yang was much higher than that of his secretary. Qin Ke showed
Lu Xinping also enjoyed the closeness. He hugged Qin Ke's shoulders affectionately and walked into the community together.
When the two arrived at Uncle Yang's house, Academician Wen Xuanping, the vice president of Xia Ke Academy, and a middle-aged academician with whom he had acquaintance were waiting in the living room. When they saw Qin Ke changing his shoes and coming in, they all stood up to greet him.
Among them, the middle-aged academician stepped forward and shook hands with Qin Ke vigorously, saying apologetically: "I'm sorry for making Professor Qin travel so hard."
"Uncle Wen, Academician Duan, hello." Qin Ke was a little surprised because he recognized that the middle-aged academician was none other than Academician Duan Yonggong!
When he was still a freshman, he and Ning Qingyun went to the Experimental Institute of Fluid-Structure Coupling Mechanics of Academician Duan Yonggong for an internship, and participated in the super-large actual measurement of the "J-92 Breakwater", helping to resolve accidents during the ultra-large actual measurement.
crisis.
However, Professor Yonggong was not elected as an academician at that time. Later, due to the great role of the "J-92 breakwater" in river and coastal defense, Professor Duan was successfully elected as a physics academician of the Department of Mathematical Physics.
Since then, Qin Ke has occasionally met Academician Duan, such as at his doctoral thesis defense meeting, and at the year-end exchange meeting of the Physical Society some time ago. He also met and chatted with Academician Duan for a while.
I didn't expect to meet him again at Uncle Yang's house today. Depending on the situation, it should be Academician Duan who invites him and Ning Qingyun to attend tomorrow's meeting.
Yang Chengke, Uncle Yang, had already greeted him in the hall: "Qin Ke, come over for tea first. Dinner won't be ready for a while."
Hearing that Lao Yang was talking to Qin Ke without being seen and did not come out to greet him, Wen Xuanping and Duan Yonggong looked at each other and realized that the rumor that Lao Yang regarded Qin Ke as his nephew was not an exaggeration.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Qin Ke asked the two academicians to go first, and he followed into the hall.
Uncle Yang's wife also came out of the kitchen to say hello to Qin Ke, asked why Ning Qingyun didn't come, and then went back to the kitchen. Although there was a nanny cooking, she still had to show off as the hostess, and
When a man is talking about business, she also knows not to join in casually and talk about family matters.
Duan Yonggong frowned and said after sitting down:
"Professor Qin probably doesn't know what the topic of tomorrow's meeting will be, right? To be honest, this time it's mainly about the 'J-92 breakwater' plan. Tomorrow's meeting will convene materials science, fluid mechanics, oceanography, meteorology, etc.
Experts in the field will come together to discuss solutions. You two are also specially invited by me, Dean Tuowen and Leader Yang, to attend the meeting. I really have no choice this time, so I can only shamelessly ask you for help."
The original "J-92 Breakwater" and its subsequent upgraded version "J-93 Breakwater" solutions have been widely promoted in Xia State's county-level river defenses because of their simplicity, speed, low cost, and durability.
In recent years, he has made great contributions to resisting spring and summer floods, which has also made Academician Duan famous.
However, this winter encountered a once-in-a-century, ultra-low temperature cold wave across the country, and unexpected situations occurred.
After the cold wave, as the temperature rose, obvious cracks appeared in the "J-92 breakwater" in a northern county!
For river embankments, the cracking of the embankments is a serious matter. It means that the embankments are no longer safe and have lost their role in flood control. Even if they encounter a small earthquake, they are likely to collapse, endangering the lives of countless people.
Property safety! After receiving the report, Academician Duan Yonggong did not dare to neglect, and quickly took the technical backbone of the institute to the scene to conduct an investigation.
After this investigation, it was discovered that the all-light alloy used as the skeleton was not resistant to ultra-low temperatures. The internal structure cracked when the temperature dropped to minus 25 degrees Celsius. Combined with the volume expansion of the ice on the river surface and the force of the squeezing of the river bank, the
The cracking turned into a direct fracture. As the temperature rose and thermal expansion and contraction occurred, obvious cracks naturally appeared in the "J-92 Breakwater"!
