I really just want to be a scholar

Professor Joel Jackman, the chief scientist of the Australian Meteorological Center, has always had a good temper, but today he couldn't help but curse a few foul words. Because of the sudden huge hail disaster, the city of Sydney was severely damaged. Most of the city was buried by large hail mixed with small ice slag. The property damage and casualties have not yet been calculated, but the total loss exceeds 100 billion. The Australian dollar is a sure thing.

For such serious casualties of life and property, someone must stand up and take responsibility. As the chief scientist of the Australian Meteorological Center, Joel Jackman is simply the best victim, especially since the local weather station has discovered in advance that there are large thick dark clouds covering the entire city, and there are hidden signs of thunder and lightning. , felt that something was wrong with the situation, and quickly reported to the Australian Meteorological Center.

Professor Joel Jackman was not on duty at the time. After careful observation, the meteorological analyst on duty thought it was just an ordinary thunderstorm cloud. Although the probability of thunderstorms in winter is not high, Sydney has always been warm, and the lowest temperature in winter is average. The temperature was only about 6 degrees Celsius, not suitable for snowfall, and the clouds at that time were more like thunderstorms.

Therefore, Sydney's weather station only issued a yellow warning signal for heavy rain, calling on citizens to suspend outdoor work in open areas and avoid lightning areas in time. And most citizens didn't take it seriously and did whatever they were supposed to do.

No one expected that after a brief period of violent wind and rain, countless dense, fist-sized hailstones would suddenly fall from the sky!

A large number of cars on the road were smashed, and pedestrians holding umbrellas were directly knocked down. In less than ten minutes, the city was covered with ice formed by hail, and the "glaciers" formed by hail and rain were surging. The streets were flooded and most of the vehicles parked on the ground were buried. Many cars were directly swept away by the torrent caused by strong winds and hail.

The entire huge hail disaster lasted for nearly 0 minutes. Countless houses had their windows smashed, and some buildings collapsed because too much hail accumulated on their roofs. The climate dropped sharply below [-] degrees Celsius, and the city was paralyzed.

Professor Joel Jackman rushed back to the meteorological center as soon as he received the news, but he had no choice but to urgently issue a red warning signal for hail, and at the same time requested neighboring cities to send rescue forces to save people in the disaster area...

The biggest headache for him was the reporters outside who surrounded the meteorological center. The reporters asked the meteorological center to explain the sudden hail disaster, especially the "misjudgment".

Although Professor Joel Jackman was not present at the time, as the chief scientist of the Meteorological Center, he still has unshirkable leadership responsibility for this "misjudgment". If no reasonable explanation or recovery method is found, he will I can only take the blame and resign to make the people angry...

If that outcome really happened, his career would be over. The best outcome would be to retire and return home, living the rest of his life alone and burdened with notoriety.

This is a tragic ending that Professor Joel Jackman is never willing to accept.

Just as he and a group of experts were anxiously discussing how to deal with it, his assistant Bogdan hurried over and whispered: "Professor Jackman, I have a call for you."

"I don't listen to anyone's calls! Didn't you see that we are all busy now?" Under tremendous pressure, Professor Joel Jackman, who had always been good-tempered, turned pale at this time, and his tone of voice was full of irritability and impatience.

Bogdan said cautiously: "You'd better listen to this call. He announced his name and said he was Qin Ke from Xia State..."

"Qin Ke? What Qin Ke?" Professor Joel Jackman was in a anxious mood. He hadn't heard "Xia Guo" clearly for a while, and was still thinking about which Australian professor named "Xia Guo Qin Ke" or the scientist.

Bogdan reminded: "I saw that the area code of the phone number is from Xia State. He also said that it is Qin Ke from Qingmu University in Xia State. He should be the most famous academician Qin Ke..."

"Academician Qin Ke?" Professor Joel Jackman was excited and immediately knew who it was.

Qin Ke, the youngest academician of Xia State, is the most famous physicist in the world today in predicting extreme climate disasters! Of course, Academician Qin Ke may be more famous in mathematics.

No matter what, when the name "Qin Ke" is mentioned now, no one dares to be disrespectful in the slightest. His academic achievements and academic reputation often make people ignore his actual age and regard him as a great master.

"You continue the discussion!" Professor Joel Jackman said a word to the researchers around him, and hurriedly followed his assistant Bogdan to answer the phone.

He could not answer other people's calls, even those from the director of the Meteorological Center, but when Academician Qin Ke took the initiative to call, and it happened to be at such a sensitive time, Professor Joel Jackman had no choice but to not answer the call.

His intuition told him that Academician Qin Ke was probably the best opportunity for him to resolve the current crisis and pressure!
  The result also made Professor Joel Jackman very happy, even ecstatic.

After a brief exchange of greetings on the phone, Academician Qin Ke from Xia State expressed his concern about the unfortunate disaster that occurred in Sydney and expressed his deep sympathy for it. At the same time, he also proposed in-depth cooperation with the Australian Meteorological Center to jointly study and Withstand extreme climate disasters.

This proposal simply made Professor Joel Jackman overjoyed. You should know that the relationship between the Australian Meteorological Center and Qin Ke is generally good. After receiving Qin Ke’s warning email last year, he even called back to express his gratitude. He expressed his willingness to cooperate with Xia Guo in meteorological scientific research.

It's just that Qin Ke and his wife are usually very busy, and the Austrian Meteorological Center was also delayed due to various problems and was unable to send people to Xia Guo Qingmu University to discuss cooperation matters face to face, so this matter was delayed.

When the news came out that the European Meteorological Center had reached an in-depth cooperative relationship with Academician Qin Ke's team from Xia Guo, it was discovered that the European Meteorological Center had promised staggeringly favorable conditions for this cooperation, which made the Austrian Meteorological Center even flinch. .

Although the Australian Meteorological Center is one of the nine major meteorological centers in the world today, and its overall research strength and scientific research level rank fourth in the world, it still lags behind the European Meteorological Center, which ranks first. They cannot offer such favorable conditions as the European Meteorological Center to promote cooperation with Qin Ke's team.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, when the Australian Meteorological Center was suffering huge criticism and blame due to the sudden hail disaster, Academician Qin Ke actually took the initiative to contact us and expressed the hope that both parties would work together!

Professor Joel Jackman felt like he was stunned by happiness!
  You must know that Academician Qin Ke has a high reputation among the Australian people. As long as the Meteorological Center reaches full cooperation with Academician Qin Ke’s team and announces the news, even if Professor Joel Jackman, the facilitator of the cooperation, cannot If you offset the merits, you can at least reduce the punishment by half. At most, you can declare that you will donate one year's salary for this disaster relief work, and you will be able to survive this unemployment crisis!
  Although it hurts to donate a year's salary, this price is almost nothing compared to the tragic ending of resigning and ruining your reputation.

Professor Joel Jackman completely forgot about negotiation skills in his ecstasy. He said excitedly: "Thank you very much, Academician Qin. Our Meteorological Center is also very happy to cooperate with you. All cooperation terms can be negotiated."

Qin Ke was also very polite: "Thank you, Professor Jackman. We will send people from both sides to discuss the specific details of the cooperation." "No problem, I also need to report this to the director of the Meteorological Center and the superior department, but I believe they will be willing to do so." We will do our best to promote this cooperation!”

Of course, specific cooperation matters cannot be finalized in just one phone call, but once the willingness to cooperate is confirmed, other negotiations become minutiae.

Professor Joel Jackman thanked him again and ended the call.

Qin Ke's attitude was very gentle, and he didn't feel like giving out favors or making excessive demands due to his strength, which made Professor Joel Jackman have a deep affection in his heart.

When Professor Joel Jackman announced the news of this cooperation inside the meteorological center, the entire meteorological center burst into cheers.

Nowadays, extreme climate disasters are becoming more and more frequent, and past prediction experience has almost lost its meaning. The Australian Meteorological Center is suffering from headaches and hesitation. The olive branch of cooperation offered by Qin Ke is simply a timely help. How can we not let all researchers Are the people moved and happy?

The matter of this cooperation quickly spread from the Meteorological Center to the senior management of Australia. As expected by Professor Joel Jackman, the senior management almost reached a unanimous opinion with rare high efficiency, that is, they must make every effort to promote this cooperation. Scientific research cooperation matters.

Except for the fact that meteorological data related to national security cannot leave Australia, other terms such as the sharing of meteorological technology patents and the export of high-end meteorological monitoring equipment to Xiaguo at cost prices can all be agreed to, and even a sum of 50 billion can be agreed to Research funding in Australian dollars is used by both parties to conduct research on extreme climate disasters.

That evening, Professor Joel Jackman, as the chief scientist of Australia, announced that he would personally lead a team to fly to Xia State and reach an in-depth cooperation agreement with the team of the famous Academician Qin Ke to jointly combat the consequences of global climate change. Extreme weather disasters.

As soon as the news came out, it really distracted the attention of the Australian people. The vast majority of the people agreed with this cooperation and looked forward to the results of this cooperation as soon as possible to avoid another hail disaster in Sydney. tragedy.

International news media also took notice.

Xia Guo's "Renren Daily": "News! my country's Academician Qin Ke's team is about to reach a comprehensive cooperation with the Australian Meteorological Center on global climate variability research!"

Europe's "Times News": "Xia Guo, Australia, Europe! Three top meteorological research institutions will work together to deal with global extreme climate disasters!"

Japan's "Yomiuri Shimbun": "The latest statement from the Japan Meteorological Center expresses its willingness to join the three-nation meteorological research 'alliance' headed by the team of Academician Xia Guoqin Ke to jointly deal with the increasingly severe global climate change!"

The New York Times of the United States: "The world's No. [-] and No. [-] meteorological centers have lowered their stance and sought cooperation with Academician Xia Guoqinke's team. Can the U.S. Meteorological Center still be able to sit still?"

Faced with the turbulent public opinion, the always proud American Meteorological Center finally couldn't bear it anymore. It quickly publicly stated its position and expressed its willingness to hold in-depth negotiations with Academician Qin Ke of Xia State as soon as possible and promote comprehensive cooperation between the two parties with the greatest sincerity. That's all.

……

For Xia State, being able to take advantage of such cooperation opportunities and introduce advanced high-end meteorological monitoring equipment and technology patents will greatly promote Xia State's establishment of an advanced meteorological monitoring and forecasting service system with precision monitoring, accurate forecasting, and emergency defense as the main body. The progress of the disaster prevention and response system is also of great significance to reduce the negative impact of extreme climate disasters and losses in the next few years.

For Qin Ke, it has become an urgent matter to establish a "global extreme weather cause analysis and future deduction joint research team" based on major meteorological centers around the world. Only by gathering meteorological scientific research forces around the world can we find the root causes of global climate variability as quickly as possible and solve them.

Therefore, Qin Ke also held an internal video conference of the "Xiaguo Extreme Climate Disaster Response Command Center" that night, agreed on the general tone of this global cooperation, basically based on the cooperation agreement with the European Meteorological Center, and proposed the establishment of " "Global Extreme Weather Cause Analysis and Future Deduction Joint Research Team", with Qin Ke as the general commander, Ning Qingyun and the chief scientists of major meteorological centers as deputy commanders, and researchers from major meteorological centers all become members of the joint research team .

With the strong support of Director Shen Yunzhang, these meeting topics were easily voted on, and a professional negotiation team was formed to improve the details of the cooperation terms and negotiate with each meteorological center interested in cooperation on the above cooperation terms.

Once established, the "Global Extreme Weather Cause Analysis and Future Deduction Joint Research Team" will become a joint scientific research organization that transcends national boundaries.

Its research funds are provided by various meteorological centers. Except for meteorological data related to extreme climates, other sensitive meteorological data involving various countries will still be analyzed and processed by each meteorological center. However, the scientific research tasks of the entire joint research team will be guided by Qin Kelai and distribution.

This is equivalent to formally establishing Qin Ke's leadership position in the joint research team.

The stakes are so high that before launching cooperation negotiations with the Austrian Meteorological Center, it is natural to first "clear the air" with the European Meteorological Center.

The European Meteorological Center is now accustomed to obeying Qin Ke's command in the name of "accepting guidance", but this time it just publicly acknowledged it.

The European Meteorological Center and Qin Ke are in the "honeymoon period" of good cooperation. In addition, Europe has recently experienced more than a dozen extreme meteorological disasters, such as earthquakes and tornadoes, which have caused headaches. Naturally, they quickly agreed. accepted this plan.

After settling all this, Qin Ke no longer needed to worry about cooperation negotiations, so he did not rush back to the capital, but spent the rest of the August holiday in Yuanzhou.

He had a premonition that a storm was coming, and when he returned to Qingmu University in September, he would probably be busier than before.
