I really just want to be a scholar

Chapter 788 Exposing the truth about Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun's fraud?
"Kang Dang, Bang Dang..." The sound of the collision between the train and the railroad track came from time to time, and Qin Ke yawned, waking up from his nap.

Ning Qingjun, who was beside him, had fallen asleep on his shoulder because of the exhaustion of the journey.

Qin Xiaoke was sitting on the seat next to Ning Qingyun near the window, quite energetic, and was drawing with a sketchbook. Seeing the outline of the line halfway through the drawing, Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun were squatting on the side of the field Scrapping the sand while chatting with the old farmer.

The level of this little girl's painting is getting higher and higher.

Qin Ke was somewhat envious. His talent in art was almost zero, and the pictures he drew were not much better than those of kindergarten children. The pop songs he sang were incomplete, so he could sing nursery rhymes better.In this respect, Qin Xiaoke is completely opposite to him. His talents in singing and painting are both at the genius level.Sometimes Qin Ke also has to lament the magic of life, why can a child born to the same pair of parents have such extreme talent distribution.

With nothing else to do, Qin Ke is going to make some plans.In order not to wake Ning Qingyun up, he didn't take out a pen and paper from his backpack, so he signaled Qin Xiaoke to give him a piece of paper and a pen.

Qin Xiaoke quickly handed it over.

Qin Ke took over and began to think about the recent research plan of the "Lime New Energy and Freshwater Resource Recycling Technology Research Center".

At present, the group is sitting on the train returning to Arada City. After arriving in Arada City, they will rest for one night and then divide into two routes. Wei Xueming and other researchers from the lime plant cultivation laboratory will return to the capital by plane, Qin Ke Then he flew back to Yuanzhou with Ning Qingyun, Qin Xiaoke, Ji Jiahai and others to continue the research on seawater desalination technology.

After this investigation, Qin Ke believes that the re-optimization of the perfect desert sweet potato is a icing on the cake, but it is not urgent, but the desalination technology of Qinghai Lake is more urgent.

Since the trial planting ended around March and achieved excellent practical results, the country has begun to vigorously promote the cultivation of desert sweet potatoes in the areas on the edge of the desert, and has included desert sweet potatoes in the strategic food reserve. How much to buy, but also to ensure that the price is similar to the market price and remains stable for a long time.

Coupled with the positive reviews and heated discussions about the perfect desert seeds on the Internet, there has been a boom in planting desert sweet potatoes in several large deserts in China. Farmers who can almost buy the seeds have begun to plant them in the wasteland on the edge of the desert where they can't even grow pasture. The perfect desert sweet potato.In just a few months, the planting area of ​​desert sweet potatoes has increased by nearly a hundred times. If it is not because the seed production speed cannot keep up and the seed supply is limited, the promotion speed will continue to increase.

At this moment, the train is driving on the edge of the vast and vast desert. Looking out from the window, you can see that besides the yellow sand, there are patches of green in the distance, which are the perfect desert sweet potato planting fields.

Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun are naturally very happy and proud to see that the scientific research results they have researched can benefit the society and improve the lives of farmers and friends, but they also see the existing problems. Corresponding to the thriving desert sweet potato, is Further strain on fresh water resources.

The area close to the desert is relatively short of water, and this summer has been extremely hot, which has increased the evaporation of water in the river basin and greatly reduced the water flow of the river.

On the one hand, the amount of water in the river has been greatly reduced, and on the other hand, the water consumption has been greatly increased-even if the demand for water for desert sweet potatoes is very small, which is far less than that of conventional crops, it cannot support the rapid increase in the area of ​​promotion and planting. Huge water demand - these have led to fresh water shortages in the Northwest Territories.

But fortunately, the results of this survey show that although fresh water resources have become more tense, they have not yet reached the point of "crisis". As long as we save water and strengthen the recycling of domestic water, today's summer will last forever I can still get through it.

However, if the summers of the next three years continue to experience such extreme heat, and even record high temperatures, the shortage of fresh water resources in Northwest China will almost 100% develop into a fresh water crisis.

"The shortest is only three years..." Qin Ke muttered in his heart, he put away the briskly turning pen, and wrote down: "Target time limit: the shortest three years".

Although he doesn't think that human beings will face the crisis of extinction so soon, the "Study God Saves the World System" clearly states that he should develop seawater desalination technology, and said that "fresh water resources will become the key to the survival of human beings in the future." factor", Qin Ke still did not dare to neglect.

In particular, the recent survey results and the analysis of extreme weather indicate that human beings will face a severe freshwater crisis in the future, maybe even three to five years later. It is not a fantasy to have conflicts and even fierce confrontations.

This made Qin Ke feel a heavy responsibility on his shoulders.

It is only three years before the arrival of the freshwater crisis. The "Lime New Energy and Freshwater Resource Recycling Technology Research Center" will make breakthroughs in Qinghai Lake's saltwater desalination technology, and it will also launch a large-scale implementation condition that can be quickly promoted. The energy and freshwater integration scheme is not easy.

Fortunately, Qin Ke already had the theoretical knowledge of a special branch of technology "Basic Knowledge of Water Resources Desalination and Purification Technology (Entry Level)" in his mind, and he also had a copy of "A New Type of High-Efficiency, Low-Energy and Fully Automatic Seawater Desalination Technology Solution" in his hand. Knowing the right direction, and gathering a group of experienced scientific researchers under his command, the probability of success will be much greater.

If you want to solve the shortage of freshwater resources in the northwest of Xiaguo first, you can even put aside the direction of seawater desalination first, and concentrate all your manpower and material resources on desalination research on the saltwater quality of Qinghai Lake. It is estimated that considerable results will be achieved within a year or two. .

It has been more than two months since the official opening of the research center, and the research work of the "New Energy Department" and "Desalination Resource Recycling Technology Department" is in full swing.

The "Ministry of New Energy" is divided into three groups. The first group studies high-efficiency water electrolysis hydrogen production technology, the second group researches low-cost hydrogen storage technology, and the third group researches safe and controllable green hydrogen power generation technology.

At present, industrial hydrogen production methods include fossil fuel hydrogen production, natural gas hydrogen production, chemical by-product hydrogen production, and electrolytic water hydrogen production.Among them, hydrogen production from natural gas is the mainstream due to mature technology and low price. Hydrogen production from fossil fuels has basically been strictly restricted for development due to its high pollution. Excessively expensive and rarely used.

However, Qin Ke’s research center is currently researching the direction of hydrogen production technology, which unexpectedly chooses electrolysis of water to produce hydrogen. On the one hand, Qin Ke is sure to use various renewable energy power generation technologies such as photovoltaics, wind power, and tidal power to greatly reduce electricity costs. , Forming a positive cycle, on the other hand, "A New Type of Fully Automatic Seawater Desalination Technology with High Efficiency and Low Energy Consumption" records a more advanced hydrogen production technology with lower energy consumption and higher purity - a combination of catalysts, additives, chemical Proton exchange technology for electrode coating.

As for green hydrogen power generation technology, it is mainly in the direction of hydrogen energy chemical batteries, which can achieve continuous and uninterrupted stable power supply for seawater desalination.

The "Desalination Resources Recycling and Utilization Technology Department" is also divided into three groups. The first group studies the "magnetic fluid seawater desalination method", and the supervisor Zhou Zhishu personally serves as the team leader; the second group studies the "forward osmosis method", and the deputy director Ji Jiahai Served as the group leader; the third group researched "electrochemically mediated seawater desalination scheme", that is, electrochemical desalination method, and Luo Shouqing, who Qin Ke "fished back" at the annual meeting of the Physical Society at the end of the year, served as the group leader.

The three new seawater desalination technologies "magnetic fluid desalination method", "forward osmosis method" and "electrochemical desalination method" have more advantages than traditional technologies in terms of scale prevention, energy consumption, desalination efficiency and cost. All countries in the world are researching these three directions, but they are basically in the initial stage of experimentation, and the results will not be much more advanced than Qin Ke's research center.

Among them, the "magnetic fluid seawater desalination method" realizes seawater desalination through magnetic fluid power generation technology, which mainly utilizes the existence of a large number of ions in seawater and has good conductivity. When it flows at high speed in a magnetic field, it will be affected by Lorentz force. Function, the positive and negative ions in the water are separated to form an electric current, and the separation of the positive and negative ions in the water also forms pure water without ions.

"Forward osmosis" is the opposite of the current mainstream "reverse osmosis". It does not require additional pressurization, but uses water to flow from the side area with higher water chemical potential (ie lower osmotic pressure) through the forward selective permeable membrane. The principle of the lower water chemical potential (that is, the higher osmotic pressure) side area, the energy consumption is almost zero, and the separation effect of salt and water is good, and the equipment is simple. The difficulty lies in how to realize the high efficiency and low energy consumption of the driving solution And reusability, as well as low-cost and efficient preparation technology of forward osmosis membrane.

"Electrochemical desalination method" uses an electrolytic cell to decompose brine into cations and anions, and then separates salt from water through selective adsorption of electrodes and selective permeation of membranes. The core of the technology is the design and development of electrodes and membranes. preparation.

The three methods can promote each other and cooperate with each other, and can also be combined according to different water qualities. They are all new seawater desalination technologies promoted in "A New Type of Fully Automatic Seawater Desalination Technology with High Efficiency and Low Energy Consumption".

As for which power generation hydrogen production technologies and seawater desalination technologies are suitable for the conditions of Qinghai Lake, a technical team needs to be dispatched to conduct special research. Qin Ke does not need to follow up these tasks in person. He only needs to make decisions based on the research data. It is enough to formulate an experimental plan for technical research.

While analyzing the situation, Qin Ke wrote down the research ideas and research plan.

At this time, the train slowly pulled into the station and stopped, and the surroundings began to be noisy.Since the journey was only about an hour and a half, Qin Ke felt that there was no need to buy a sleeper berth, so he asked Wei Feng to arrange an ordinary hard seat, which was also a part of integrating into society and carrying out social practice.

There are not many people traveling in this hot season, half of the seats in the carriage are empty, and the overall situation is relatively quiet.

It was not until this time that the train slowed down and entered the station, and some passengers wanted to get off, did it become lively.

Suddenly someone in front asked: "Professor Xu, the news on the Internet said that Academician Qin Ke and Academician Ning Qingyun are also doing research on desert sweet potatoes here. Do you think we will meet them by chance?"

The voice is relatively young, it seems to be a college student.

Hearing his name, Qin Ke looked up curiously, and Qin Xiaoke also stopped writing and looked forward.

Sitting at the front of the car seemed to be a few students, and there was a scholar wearing glasses, in his early 50s, who should be called "Professor Xu" by the students.

Professor Xu shook his head and said, "Not necessarily. The news said that they started from Arada City and walked along the edge of the desert. We are only going to Arada City now. How could we meet them?"

Another female student asked: "Professor, do you think Academician Qin and Academician Ning will really go to the field to do research in such a hot weather? Some sunspots on the Internet said that it was a previous photo, and they pretended to be serious about it." I just finished my wedding, and I'm currently traveling abroad for my honeymoon, how can I go to the desert to eat ashes during my honeymoon?"

Some students echoed: "Yes, and they never admitted on the scarf that they did research in the desert. In the news, only the media in Arada issued a press release and attached a photo. There is no more movement, and there are no reporters in other towns to report this. And the weather is too hot? I don’t think they would pick this time even if they wanted to do research.”

Qin Xiaoke couldn't sit still when she heard this. She knew that her elder brother and sister-in-law didn't like being surrounded by people for interviews and reports, which made this research look like a show to gain fame, so Arada City published it without permission. After a press release, my brother also made a special phone call to tell him not to post similar news again. The itinerary along the way also began to be kept secret, avoiding all media reporters. I didn’t expect that someone would blackmail my brother and me on the Internet. Sister-in-law, Qin Xiaoke just felt angry and wanted to get up to argue.

Qin Ke held her down with one hand, signaling her to calm down.

Qin Xiaoke pursed her mouth and sat down unhappily again.

I only heard that Professor Xu said: "The media in Arada City haven't had the guts to create such a rumor, and based on my understanding of the characters of the two young academicians, I think this should be true. It is impossible to develop 'computational seed science' and 'perfect desert sweet potato'. I also heard that before they studied seeds, they ran all over the country during the summer vacation of the third year of high school and did field research. Such a rigorous academic attitude, You have to learn a little bit."

The female student asked again: "But Professor Xu, we only study plant genetics, why do we have to come to this desert to investigate desert sweet potatoes in hot weather?"

Professor Xu has a good temper. He didn't get angry at the students' questions at all. He just smiled gently and said, "If you stay in the laboratory blindly, you will gradually lose touch with reality. This is fatal to scientific researchers and even academic research. of."

When Professor Xu said this, he sighed softly: "Currently, Xia Guo's scientific research and academic circles are becoming more and more flamboyant, and young academicians like Academician Qin and Academician Ning who are willing to brave the heat to conduct field research are rare. Such a trend is very bad, and it will lead to scholars and scientists who are elites becoming less and less down-to-earth, and their research will lose the ability to perceive the sufferings of the people at the bottom, and become superior and talk without back pain."

"Just as some scholars suggested that 'low-income earners rent out extra houses to increase their income', 'Young people don't need to waste too much time on commuting, they should rent houses near the company, and the time saved can be used to learn and improve Ego'... will only make people more jokes. It sounds ridiculous to you now, but if you don't stick to the field research, you will become such a person sooner or later."

"We study plant genetics, which is a discipline that emphasizes both theory and application. It is very important to understand why we do research. If we don't know the actual situation of farmers, how do we do research? Are the results of research just put on the shelf as theory? You have to learn from Academician Qin and Academician Ning. They study desert sweet potatoes to alleviate the problem of desertification, and to give hope of a new life for poor farmers on the edge of the desert. The starting point is very correct..."

As Professor Xu was talking, some passengers came one after another on the train that had stopped. A young man with yellow hair was holding his mobile phone up high and said to the mobile phone: "Everyone, I just got on the train. I have arrived. I have asked in several desert sweet potato fields in this small town before, but no one has seen Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun. Next, I will go to Alada City to interview the local farmers. Time will be able to expose the truth of their deceit..."

　It's the end of the month, please ask for a monthly pass, thank you!
