I really just want to be a scholar

Chapter 715 Proposal to add academicians ahead of schedule

After Qin Ke and Academician Wen Xuanping agreed to go to the Institute of Physics of the Xiake Academy for academic exchanges on the first day after the New Year's Day holiday, the streets that had been blocked for a long time finally resumed their flow.

It was still snowing all over the outside of the car, and the heavy snow brought about a sharp drop in temperature. There were not many pedestrians on the road, and they were basically in a hurry.

If there is still such a heavy snowstorm in the afternoon, it is estimated that the school classes in the afternoon will have to be suspended.

Qin Ke drove to the parking lot outside the Fluid Mechanics Laboratory and saw that the car had only 40% of the battery left, which was not enough to drive back to the community. However, Qin Ke planned to go back to the school’s villa tonight and walk for 10 minutes The distance is less than 3 minutes by car, which is more than enough. When the time comes, I will stop at the parking lot of Mr. Qiu’s villa, and there are charging piles installed in his parking lot.

Considering that new energy vehicles will be the future trend, the parking lot under the experimental building also needs to prepare several charging piles.While thinking about it, Qin Ke called Fang Yongtang and asked her to buy another new hybrid car.

Fang Yongtang readily responded, and then asked: "Boss, what brand do you want to buy?"

Qin Ke looked at Ning Qingyun, Ning Qingjun said that he had no special preferences, and Qin Ke himself didn't have much research on cars, so he said, "Sister Fang, please choose a few models and send them to Qingyun and me for a look. , It’s fine within 100 million, don’t want those high-profile luxury cars, and don’t have an old-fashioned business style, it’s better to have a strong sense of technology and be more fashionable, I like to try new technologies.”

"Got it. Is the car still under the name of the company?"

"Yes, let's put it under the name of the company." Qin Ke plans to hand over his pure electric new energy car to the company for use, and change to the new hybrid car to drive by himself.

"No problem. It will take some time to get the license plate. It is estimated to take about three days. At that time, I will complete the pass for the parking lot of Xingguang Mingyuan Community. For the pass for the school, should I contact Chen Ya?"

Chen Ya is Qin Ke's work assistant in the school.

"Yes, just contact Chen Ya."

"OK. I'll go to work then, boss."

Fang Yongtang's work is very reliable, which makes Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun extremely worry-free.Put away the phone and look at the temperature outside the car displayed on the center console. It has dropped to about minus 15 degrees Celsius.

And after turning off the car and making a phone call for a while, the car has already started to get cold.

Qin Ke got out of the car first, opened the umbrella to protect Ning Qingyun and ran into the laboratory building, the heat was blowing in his face.

Ning Qingyun clapped her little hands, looked at the white snow outside the glass door, and said worriedly: "Today's winter is really cold. I'm afraid it's only about minus [-] degrees Celsius on the prairie. I don't know that when we were in the middle of the year, it was only [-] degrees Celsius. Can the launched 'Special Cold Warming Type II' winter wheat survive this harsh winter?"

Qin Ke comforted: "No problem, the 'Special Cold Protection II' winter wheat incorporates the cold protection gene of the 'Perfect Desert Sweet Potato', and it can still guarantee a survival rate of more than 30% and an earing rate above minus 30 degrees Celsius. Once it falls below minus [-] degrees Celsius, the 'Special Cold Protection II' winter wheat will only enter a 'hibernation' state, and will continue to grow when the temperature rises."

The vast majority of winter wheat currently on the market cannot withstand temperatures below minus 12 degrees Celsius. The "Special Cold Protection Type I" winter wheat launched the year before last can barely withstand minus 30 degrees Celsius. Once this critical point is exceeded, the survival rate will drop. fell below 50%.

Later, Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun used their experience in researching "perfect desert sweet potatoes" to guide the lime plant breeding laboratory to breed "special cold-resistant type II" winter wheat, which was considered to have solved this big problem.

Now at least there is no need to worry about the losses caused by the temperature falling below minus 30 degrees Celsius to the farmers who planted the "Special Cold Protection II" winter wheat.

The cold wave in the winter three years ago brought a serious reduction in grain harvest and production in the north, especially on the prairie. Almost all the common winter wheat was frozen and withered, and the grains were not harvested, which also caused heavy losses to farmers.

Since last year, driven by the demonstrations of more than a dozen impoverished villages, and because of Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun's fame, the prairie has begun to promote the planting of "Special Cold Protection Type I" researched by the lime plant cultivation laboratory. It's winter wheat, and this year it is directly planting the upgraded "Special Cold Protection Type II" winter wheat. According to the seed data cultivated in the laboratory, it should not be a problem to survive this cold wave.

Not only the "special type II" winter wheat, but also the tens of thousands of acres of "perfect desert sweet potatoes" that have just been trial-planted on the edge of many deserts have to undergo the severe test of nature's extreme climate.

"However, it seems that the probability of extreme weather is really increasing. After the lime plant cultivation laboratory has initially mastered computational seed science, they can study more new crops with special cold and special heat protection. , to improve the survival rate of food crops under extreme weather as much as possible, and reduce farmers’ losses.”

As Qin Ke said, he was determined once again to restart the huge topic of ultra-large-scale extreme climate analysis and prediction—he also wanted to analyze how the desert sweet potato would affect the global climate after its popularization and encirclement of the desert.

After saying hello to the security guard on the first floor, the two of them returned to the office hand in hand. Before they sat down, the assistant Chen Ya came to inform that Academician Jiang and Academician Guo were looking for them.

There was heating in the room. Qin Ke helped Ning Qingyun take off his thick mink coat and hang it up. Both of them put on light coats, and then went to Academician Jiang's office together.

Academician Guo Weiyang was also there, and when he saw the two of them, he smiled and said, "Your wedding leave is over so soon? Just now I saw you two standing in the window, and you just caught them as young men. Our laboratory's annual plan for next year is about to be reported. Already, Old Jiang and I plan to hand over the final decision to you two."

The plant cultivation laboratory, the quantum computing laboratory, and the Lime New Energy and Freshwater Resource Recycling Technology Research Center, which is currently under construction, are all laboratories under Lime Technology. Lime Technology is responsible, and the laboratory is only responsible for scientific research.

But the Fluid Mechanics Laboratory is different. It is an independent scientific research unit affiliated to Qingmu University. It is itself a structured institutional unit. All affairs such as scientific research, personnel, finance, security, family planning, party building, and discipline are assigned to the Fluid Mechanics Laboratory. Self-managed and assessed by Qingmu University.

Of course, the Fluid Mechanics Laboratory is a national key scientific research laboratory, and the director and deputy director are academicians such as Jiang Weixian and Guo Weiyang. Qingmu University has given the laboratory greater freedom and relatively loose assessment indicators.

But no matter how loose and free it is, there must be no less necessary processes.For example, submitting the annual year-end work report, formulating the annual plan for next year, independent scientific research projects, and funding applications, etc., must be reported to Qingmu University at the end of each year.

Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun had heard these two old academicians explain these chores, and they were not unfamiliar, but they had never taken care of them personally.

Qin Ke originally wanted to communicate with the two old academicians about the idea of ​​adding a "National Abnormal Climate Data Analysis Research Project" next year. Now that Academician Guo Weiyang mentioned the next year's plan, it is the best topic to start, so he talked about it over and over again. .

"The two of us have conducted a small part of research before, but later found that the workload of this subject was too great, and it would be difficult for us to complete it alone, so we stopped for the time being. Now the fluid mechanics laboratory, especially the 'turbulence group' I don't have any scientific research projects at hand, so I thought about setting up this topic as an independent scientific research project of the fluid mechanics laboratory, and applying for scientific research funding..."

After hearing Qin Ke's explanation, Jiang Weixian exchanged glances with Guo Weiyang.

Both of them knew that Ning Zongxun currently has a team of several hundred people conducting similar research work, but their main purpose is to determine whether each extreme weather phenomenon is the so-called "first harbinger of the collapse of the world" , is not consistent with Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun's goal of investigating the causes of extreme climates on a global scale and conducting deduction. If Qin Ke and the two can really make some breakthroughs on this scientific research topic, the research of Ning Zongxun and his wife's team is also of great significance. Great benefit.

It's just that the workload of this subject is really huge and the difficulty is exaggerated. Even if the manpower of the entire fluid mechanics laboratory is invested in it, it may not be able to achieve any results in two or three years.

Jiang Wei thought for a while and asked, "Are you two going to build a 'new energy and fresh water resource recycling technology research center' in Yuanzhou? Are you going to continue to deepen the research on quantum computing? Adding such a large-scale Will the research topic be too strenuous?"

"This 'National Anomaly Climate Data Analysis Research Project' is a long-term project. I initially want to formulate a three-year plan and implement it gradually. At the same time, I will cut down some unnecessary independent projects, so as to avoid affecting the laboratory itself as much as possible. It is a higher-level topic. With the opportunity of such a large-scale project, everyone in the laboratory can study the application of NS equations more deeply, and I think the advantages outweigh the disadvantages."

Jiang Weixian pondered for a while, then nodded and said, "Since I told you to make the decision this time, I have no objections. What about you, Lao Guo?"

Guo Weiyang also expressed his support: "I am quite supportive. To be honest, I am also very curious. There was an extremely cold winter three years ago, and it happened again this year. It is too frequent. If the cause can be found and resolved , isn’t it pretty good too?”

The two big men agreed, and the matter was settled.

The four of them looked at the annual plan for next year again, deleted some unimportant or less meaningful independent scientific research projects, and freed up manpower and funds as much as possible for the "National Abnormal Climate Data Analysis Research Project".

However, the cost of such a large-scale project is also huge. After a preliminary estimate, at least half of the [-] million yuan of the laboratory's annual budget will be burned in it—this is Qin Ke's plan to use the "twilight" in the Lime Data Center "To perform data processing, do not rent supercomputers, and save a lot of expenses.

After revising the annual plan, Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun will not need to prepare for the follow-up project establishment and declaration process in person, and Ding Yuefeng, the laboratory assistant and Qin Ke's senior brother, will naturally arrange it properly.

The "National Abnormal Climate Data Analysis Research Project" has not officially started, Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun continued to focus on the research on the general solution of the NS equation in the morning.

Concentrating on research, time flies very fast.

In the afternoon, the wind and snow subsided, but Qin and Ke didn't delay their classes. In the evening, the two called their assistant Fang Yongtang and took her car to Uncle Yang's house for a banquet.

This time Yang Chengke was also planning to have a family dinner, but because of the weather, neither his daughter Yang Xian nor his grandson came over for dinner, so there were only Uncle Yang and his wife, secretary Lu Xinping, Qin Ke, and Ning Qingyun for dinner.

Talking about the wedding banquet of the two at the dinner table, Uncle Yang's wife was extremely enthusiastic about making suggestions, and even said that she could be in charge of the banquet arrangements in the capital.

Qin Ke really didn't have any relatives in the capital, but Ning Qingyun had an uncle, but he didn't have much contact with her at ordinary times, so Qin Ke smiled and entrusted the matter to Mrs. Yang.

After dinner, Uncle Yang brought Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun to the study to chat as usual, and this time secretary Lu Xinping also came to sit with him.

"That's it, so the 'Lime Topological Superconducting Vortex State Theoretical Model System' proposed by Qingyun and I is more focused on the theoretical level than on the application."

After listening to Qin Ke's detailed explanation of the "lime topological superconducting vortex state theoretical model system", Yang Chengke basically understood: "With the theory as the basis, the application should not be far away, right? You plan to continue Applied research?"

Qin Ke nodded: "Yes, but we have to wait until the Spring Festival to continue. At that time, the quantum computing laboratory will be arranged to strengthen the research on the preparation methods of superconducting materials, and to research as much as possible the lower-cost and easier-to-synthesize 'mayo Lana Fermion Carrier-Lime Superconducting No. [-] Material'. This is not a small difficulty. Before we cooperated with Professor Kopet and a large number of senior researchers from the country as assistants, it took nearly two years to complete it. "Lime topological superconducting vortex state theoretical model system", if we want to research "Lime superconducting No. [-] material", based on the current conditions in our hands, it will take at least one and a half to two years. There is a way to import some high-end experimental equipment."

"This is already very fast." Uncle Yang sighed: "Although our country claims to be at the forefront of the world in terms of quantum computers, it is actually a bluff. Most of the research results are developed in cooperation with foreign countries. Yes. Even though we have spent 30 to [-] years in this direction, our foundation in this area is still weak, whether it is industrial capabilities, research capabilities, technical talents, or high-end experimental equipment. "

He said helplessly: "Last time I convened a meeting with experts and professors of quantum computers across the country, and they all said that even with your 'Lime Topological Superconducting Vortex State Theoretical Model System' and 'Lime Superconducting No. "Materials" only solve the problem of topological quantum computing, and the materials and design of quantum chips are still a big hurdle. Our country wants to achieve cornering overtaking on quantum computers, and there is a long way to go... "

Qin Ke remembered his S-level knowledge "The whole process of making a new type of carbon crystal composite nanomaterial suitable for 1nm chips", which records that the chip material is compatible with both carbon-based chips and quantum chips.

He has fully understood and mastered this knowledge, but as Uncle Yang said, there is still a gap between domestic experimental equipment and precision manufacturing and the international one. He wants to study this new type of carbon crystal composite nanomaterial reasonably. It was very difficult to come out.

So we can only wait until the "Lime Superconducting No. [-] Material" is developed, the commercialization problem of "Topological Quantum Computing" is solved, and enough technology and experience can be accumulated, then we can start researching this new material at that time. Chip material is not too late.

"That's right." Uncle Yang said suddenly: "There is a proposal from the Xia Ke Academy. They want to make a special exception and add you two as academicians of the Department of Mathematical Physics in advance. Are you willing?"
