I really just want to be a scholar

When Qin Ke returned to his hometown of Yuanzhou City with his wife and children to spend time with his family, visit senior teachers, and enjoy a rare vacation, in a distant unknown research institute, Ji Xiuyu closed the report in his hand with some irritability and wrote it down. Place it casually on the corner of the table.

Ning Zongxun, who was also flipping through documents next to him, looked up and saw his wife's face full of irritation and a hint of worry. He couldn't help but ask with concern:
"Xiuyu, what's wrong?"

Ji Xiuyu frowned and pointed at the report on the table: "Zong Xun, have you read this report? It came from the Fluid Mechanics Laboratory."

"Have seen it, Xiaoguan, the leader of the mathematics application group, also wrote his opinion on it. Based on this report, Xiaoguan combined with their mathematical modeling analysis over the years, although the weather will be severe this year, it is still not safe. It is consistent with the characteristics of the 'first sign' of world collapse."

"Although it can't be called the 'first sign' of world collapse, this report also states that the Fluid Mechanics Laboratory used the large extreme climate change prediction model built by Qin Ke and Yatou to conduct a The results of the deductions in the next few years are not good. Extreme climate disasters will become more and more serious in the next few years. At least based on the current research results, it is not possible to reverse this trend. If this trend continues , I’m afraid we will have the ‘first sign’ within five years.”

Ji Xiuyu's heart was heavy.

At the beginning of the year, the country had officially "unblocked" a small part of the mysterious prophecy, and handed over the important research work of predicting future climate variability trends to the Fluid Mechanics Laboratory where Academician Jiang Weixian worked. In fact, it was handed over to her. His daughter Ning Qingyun and son-in-law Qin Kelai are in charge.

This has its advantages and disadvantages.

The good thing is that she and Ning Zongxun were originally worried that when Qin Ke and his wife continued to study the subject of climate change in depth and then touched on some content that needed to be kept strictly confidential, they would be semi-forced to be sent for closed research. It's basically impossible to happen.

The country has seen that the trend of global climate change has become obvious. Countries around the world have begun to attach great importance to research in this area. Naturally, Xia Guo no longer needs to hide it. On the one hand, let this mysterious research institute concentrate most of its research. Manpower and material resources have been invested in the research of "Noah's Ark" and "Sky Fortress". On the other hand, they have publicly and vigorously supported various domestic scientific research institutions to increase their efforts in researching climate variability.

Among them, Qin Ke and his wife were given the greatest power and trust. They were even given the position of technical general advisor of the "Xiaguo Extreme Climate Disaster Response Command Center", which holds hundreds of billions of funds.

Now in the Xia Kingdom's defense and response to extreme climate disasters, these two 24-year-old young people are the de facto chief designers and commanders. Their authority is beyond imagination, covering all cooperation matters with the European Meteorological Center, The large-scale introduction of advanced foreign meteorological monitoring equipment was decided by the two of them.

Even European national dignitaries greeted them with smiles and treated them as state guests.

With such a daughter and son-in-law, how could Ji Xiuyu, who has always been strong, not be proud and dissatisfied?

The disadvantages are also obvious. The burdens on the shoulders of Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun are not light, especially as the "first sign" approaches, the extreme changes in climate become more and more severe, and the difficulty of disaster prevention and response will also become exponential. improve.

At that time, the eyes and hopes of the country and even the world will be focused on Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun.

They are so young, can they withstand such pressure? Can you handle it?
Just thinking about the huge pressure that can almost suffocate people, Ji Xiuyu feels sorry for her daughter and son-in-law.

Especially when the two grandsons are still so young...

Don't say that she doesn't have the spirit of sacrifice. She can work with her husband to contribute her health, freedom, time and even life to the country and the future of mankind. This is her duty as an academician.

Before becoming an academician, she had another identity, that of "mother". So from the bottom of her heart, Ji Xiuyu hoped that her daughter and son-in-law would not be too busy and put more time and energy back into the family. To prevent his two grandsons from having the same lonely childhood as Ning Qingyun.

But from a rational point of view, Ji Xiuyu also knows that in terms of researching and responding to climate change, looking at the country and even the world, who can do better and better than her daughter and son-in-law?
The possibility of that "mysterious prophecy" becoming reality is getting higher and higher. If Qin Ke and his wife had not stepped forward, led the team to study the root causes of climate change, and then tried every means to reverse this trend, would they have just stood by? Watching natural disasters come?

Although natural disasters have struck, the "Noah's Ark" and "Sky Fortress" developed by her and her husband can be put to use, and the Xia Kingdom will be able to retain considerable vitality, but it is still unavoidable that more than half of the world's population will be destroyed within 30 to [-] years. disappear, the whole world will fall into great collapse...

Ji Xiuyu's heart was full of complicated worries. Next to her, Ning Zongxun sighed, closed the document in his hand, and said sadly:
"Yes...it seems that the country's plan for a rainy day was right. At least we have been studying countermeasures for more than ten years in advance. 'Noah's Ark' and 'Sky Fortress' have basically taken shape and can be put into operation within five years." use."

But soon there was a hint of hope in his voice: "But Xiaoke and Yatou are much better than us now. Now the country has appointed them to be fully responsible for the research and response to climate change. Maybe they can really do it in the fifth year." Find out the root causes of climate change and how to deal with it within this year, so as to avoid the appearance of the 'first sign'."

Ning Zongxun said with a smile on his lips: "Sometimes I really feel that Xiao Ke and our girl are playing the role of savior. It may also be God's arrangement. At least judging from the desert sweet potato and fresh water technology, their These research results, coincidentally, can effectively alleviate the negative consequences after the 'first sign' appears. Even if the 'first sign' does appear, the situation will not be as bad as that mysterious prophecy said."

Ji Xiuyu said distressedly: "I'm just worried that they are at the forefront of the storm and will risk their lives to do research..."

She remembered the news that Qin Ke had been in a coma for a few days some time ago, bit her lip and said: "I would rather Yatou and Qin Ke slow down their research. I just want them to live a good, healthy and happy life." …”

Ning Zongxun stretched out his hand to rub his wife's hair and said with a smile:

"It's useless to think about this. You don't understand their characters? Especially Qin Ke. Although he laughs and laughs all day long, he actually has a strong sense of responsibility. In his heart, everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world. If there are some things that only he can do If he can do it, then whether it is for the future of mankind, or for smiles and clangs, he will not hesitate to take up the burden, grit his teeth and work hard to find a solution. Our girls also have a similar temperament. Ha, no wonder there is an old saying, If you are not a family, you will not enter the same family.”

"You can still laugh!" Ji Xiuyu pinched her husband angrily.

"When the situation is not at its worst, there is no need to be too tight. We just do what we should do. For me, as long as they are not involved in our research and become part of a closed research team, Members are the best results. Even if they can't solve the problem of global climate change, it doesn't matter. The research we are doing is not to preserve the vitality of Xia Kingdom and even the world when the worst case scenario comes. In order to better explore mankind’s new homeland in the future?”

Ji Xiuyu looked at her husband's determined expression and couldn't help but go over and hug him hard. It is this calmness and heroism that makes Ji Xiuyu, who is so strong and proud, unable to help but fall in love with him, and become a husband and wife who will never leave each other for the rest of their lives and will advance and retreat together with him.

……

At the same time, the Fluid Mechanics Experiment Building of Qingmu University was welcoming several guests.

Academician Jiang Weixian and Academician Guo Weiyang came out to greet him in person. The two old academicians smiled and shook hands with the visitor: "Academician Du, welcome."

The visitors were the research team headed by Academician Du Changbin, Director of the Institute of Earthquake Research of Xia Ke Academy of Sciences.

Academician Du Changbin is 63 years old. When he was young, he served as the leader of the earthquake prediction group of the National Earthquake Working Group for a long time. He has been engaged in research on seismology, petrophysics, and earthquake risk analysis for more than 40 years. He is an authoritative figure in Xia Guo's seismology research.

The best thing about Academician Du is his high level of mathematics and physics. It has been 20 years since the publication of "Fractal Geometry" written by him. It is still known as the best textbook of "Fractal Geometry". He is also Xia Guo is the first expert to comprehensively use the "chaotic dynamics" of physics and the "fractal geometry" of mathematics to predict earthquakes. He has compiled a global earthquake risk report using a new method based on seismology, engineering and economics. Prediction models have attracted attention from the international seismological community.

It can be said that Academician Du Changbin is a banner of Xia Guo in the international seismology community and enjoys a high reputation both at home and abroad. Therefore, when Jiang Weixian, physics masters like Guo Weiyang and Taishan Beidou heard that Academician Du Changbin personally brought people to conduct scientific research exchanges, they also We have to go out together to welcome him.

Academician Du Changbin shook his hand vigorously and said with a smile on his face: "Academician Jiang and Academician Guo, we haven't seen each other for two or three years, so I came here without permission. I hope I won't disturb your work."

"If so, we would be happy to have you bring a team over for exchanges."

Academician Du Changbin looked at the greeting personnel in the Fluid Mechanics Laboratory and said unexpectedly: "Academician Jiang, your two top students, Academician Qin and Academician Ning, are not here?"

Jiang Weixian said slightly apologetically: "Yes, it has been a week since they left the capital. Sorry, their whereabouts cannot be made public, so I cannot inform you in advance."

Academician Du Changbin waved his hand and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter. Speaking of which, their current importance cannot be replaced. It is necessary to keep their whereabouts secret, and they are too famous. Once their whereabouts are leaked, they are afraid of causing a large gathering of people. In early August I heard that they showed up at a restaurant in a large shopping mall. In less than half an hour, the shopping mall's popularity increased five times, and tens of thousands of people nearby poured into the shopping mall just to see it with their own eyes. Look at them...ha, their popularity is even more exaggerated than that of big stars in the entertainment industry."

Guo Weiyang chuckled: "They are indeed very popular among young people. This is the result of old academician Wang Heng's appeal on TV not to pay too much attention to them and to give them more living space, otherwise they would be in the restaurant I'm afraid I'll be surrounded and unable to leave." There was unconcealable pride in his tone.

Although Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun did not really become his students, they formed a half-disciple friendship. Academician Jiang could still resist showing off in front of outsiders, but Lao Guo couldn't help but show off more A few words.

Jiang Weixian saw that Academician Du Changbin and his party were quietly wiping sweat. It was obvious that they had been heated by the sun just a short walk from the parking lot to the lobby on the first floor, so he hurriedly said: "Academician Du, let's go to the conference room and sit down first. Let’s talk slowly, can you? We’ve prepared tea.”

"Okay, thank you, Academician Jiang. The weather is indeed hot enough. I checked the weather before going out in the morning, and the temperature outside has actually exceeded 39°C. Now we are just looking forward to September 9th arriving as soon as possible."

September 9th is the turning point of the summer high temperature and drought disaster previously announced by Qin Ke and Ning Qingjun. From this day on, the weak cold air mass emerging from Siberia will move south, the temperature will slowly drop, and there will also be intermittent rain, easing the The earth has been parched by the sun, and the time point when the high temperature and drought disaster will completely disappear will be September 7.

In fact, not only Academician Du, but also most countries in the northern hemisphere are looking forward to this day.

This year's high temperature and drought disaster is two points more severe than last year. Xiaguo is okay. The northwest region with the most serious water shortage has also benefited from the "Ling Lemon Technology new energy and water desalination and purification integrated system" built next to various saltwater lakes. The fresh water plant with patented technology of "Chemical Technology Solution" ensures that the basic water supply is not affected.

Four countries in Europe have also breathed a sigh of relief because of the introduction of Lime Technology's patented seawater desalination technology and the construction of seawater desalination plants. Other countries, such as the Northern Hemisphere countries such as Goose Country and the United States, are in a worse situation. There is a shortage of seawater everywhere. Water, food production has reduced or even withered, and heat waves have led to more than [-] cases of heat stroke in many areas, and economic activities have been seriously damaged.

Countless people are praying to God for rain, but God obviously has not responded, because since June, almost no area in the northern hemisphere has experienced effective rainfall. Now most people are gritting their teeth and struggling to put their hope in it. Come up to the "turning point" announced by Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun, which is September 6.

Without further ado, after introductions and greetings, everyone arrived at the conference room and took their seats.

Academician Du Changbin drank up the tea in one gulp and said straight to the point: "Academician Jiang, Academician Guo, two weeks ago our institute received a data use application from your laboratory. We want all the earthquakes in our country in the past 30 years. data."

Jiang Weixian nodded and said: "There is indeed such a thing. Qin Ke and Xiao Ning thought that earthquakes, typhoons, tsunamis, etc. might be related to global climate change, so they asked the Fluid Mechanics Laboratory to send out notifications to several famous domestic research institutes. I received a request for data assistance. I also know that I suddenly asked you for such a huge amount of data. These data are the result of your hard work and accumulation for many years. Indeed..."

Academician Du Changbin said hurriedly: "Academician Jiang's words are serious. The Xia Academy of Sciences has issued documents to all affiliated research institutes and scientific research institutions at the beginning of the year, requiring full cooperation in the research of the Fluid Mechanics Laboratory, requiring personnel and information. Provide information and data without any delay or obstruction. So if you ask for data, we are obligated. It’s just that the amount of data is large. We didn’t sort it out until yesterday and export it, and we sent it here today. .”

Jiang Weixian and Guo Weiyang were also a little surprised by Academician Du Changbin's cheerfulness, and hurriedly stood up to express their thanks.

After the two parties were polite, Academician Du Changbin said again: "Academician Jiang, Academician Guo, this time we are here. In addition to sending more than 100 encrypted hard drives with data, there are two main things that I want to discuss with you... "

Sorry, the update is late due to the fact that my body has not fully recovered and I am traveling and busy at work. I hope you can forgive me.
