Reborn Tech Scholar

Chapter 343 The New Year

In southern Fujian this year, the temperature is one or two degrees higher than in previous years.

During the Spring Festival, the daytime temperature never fell below 24°C. Qin Yuanqing understood a bit. It seems that the general trend of climate has not changed as before. Southern Fujian has entered a historically dry year. He remembers that from this year onwards, the entire Fujian Province The rainfall is much lower than in previous years. Although it benefited from the reservoirs all over the province, it was fine in the past few years, but by 2020, all the small reservoirs will dry up, and the villagers will directly grow vegetables in the reservoirs, and even large and medium-sized reservoirs Entering the emergency period, the top priority of local governments is not economic development, but drought relief!

In almost every local government meeting, the main topic is drought relief and how to ensure water supply for residents. That is, artificial rainfall is carried out every three to five times this year.Every time a typhoon is generated, what people look forward to most is that the typhoon will land from southern Fujian, so that it can bring a lot of rainfall and alleviate the drought.

It's a pity that the past few years have been very strange, and no typhoon has landed from southern Fujian. At first, everyone saw the typhoon making a detour, and they all said that it was the blessing of Zheng Chenggong and the statue of the Victory Women's Volleyball Team. When the typhoon took a detour to go to other places, it was just moaning and cursing, wishing to tear down the statue and the Dingfeng beads.

The power of natural weather is sometimes more powerful than weapons, because it is almost unsolvable. If it does not rain, even if you want to use artificial rainfall, artificial rainfall also requires conditions. It is not that you shoot dry ice into the sky. It can rain from the sky.

Even if the groundwater is pumped, there is still a question mark about how many places the groundwater can drink.

Qin Yuanqing experienced the drought in those years. He saw that the reservoir that was filled with water had dried up in the end, and the villagers were still opening vegetable gardens in the reservoir to grow vegetables.

However, this has not affected the present for the time being. Everyone is enjoying the Spring Festival holiday, and even because of the growing fame, many people come here to travel and simply rent a villa to celebrate the New Year here.

Qin Yuanqing is enjoying this rare vacation comfortably. The past year can be said to be his busiest year, and also the year he worked the most overtime.

So this Spring Festival, Qin Yuanqing spent time with his family and enjoyed the rare relaxation during the holidays. During the day, he took his children on a boat on the river, picked strawberries and tomatoes, roasted sweet potatoes, and became the king of the children for a while.

In this comfort, Qin Yuanqing felt extremely relaxed physically and mentally.

Accompanying the children, watching the children having fun and smiling brightly, Qin Yuanqing also felt happy and joyful from the bottom of his heart. He took pictures of the children and recorded their growth trajectory, just like the saying: Of course Take photos to record, they are not always so carefree.

On the ninth day of the lunar new year, after bidding farewell to their relatives, Qin Yuanqing's family officially ended their long Spring Festival holiday. As for their parents, they did not go to the capital until after the Lantern Festival.

Although the Spring Festival has just ended, the Internet is very lively, because the 002 aircraft carrier went to sea for testing just after the Spring Festival, and it is different from the previous ones. This time, two J35 carrier-based aircraft were parked on the deck of the aircraft carrier. Once they will conduct their first carrier takeoff and docking tests.

Qin Yuanqing watched the news, and he could clearly feel that the navy was speeding up the formation of the No. 002 aircraft carrier's combat effectiveness, speeding up the exploration of the performance and drill tactics of the No. 002 aircraft carrier. Obviously, with the development of China, overseas interests are increasing, requiring China to must There is a powerful high-seas navy to safeguard China's sovereignty and national interests, and to protect the property of the Chinese people from infringement.

Even, the 055 million-ton large-scale drive was officially completed and launched during the national celebration of the Spring Festival, and delivered to the navy, making Huaxia officially own the [-]-ton large-scale drive. Countless military fans felt excited.

Moreover, in the next four years of the 055 million-ton large-scale drive, 8 ships will be officially put into service and delivered to the navy for use by the navy to replace the old warships of the navy.

Of course, some public figures have bitterly criticized this, saying that this is militarism. The money invested in these military equipment can be used to alleviate poverty and will lift millions of people out of poverty.It's just that these people don't understand that their era has passed, and they will not regain their original influence because they have been abandoned by the era.

Qin Yuanqing adjusted his mentality and resumed his usual work rhythm. He participated in the scientific research in the laboratory during the day, and in the afternoon, he led a team to visit the retired faculty and staff of Mizuki. The employees represent that the school has not forgotten their contributions to the school.

At the same time, the research institute located in Laowei County has also officially entered the construction process. Xie Daoxin even took the lead in renting an office in Laowei County with researchers to start work.

And the large-scale recruitment of undergraduate and master graduates by the research institute has ushered in the spring of the biology major. After all, there are nearly [-] jobs and high salaries. But there are still many people who choose to go.

Of course, Qin Yuanqing also has his own work. One of his important tasks is to nominate academician candidates. This time, the academician candidates he nominated include 2 from the Automotive Research Institute, 2 from the Aero Engine Research Institute, 3 from the Chemical Laboratory, and 4 from the Biological Laboratory. , There are 11 academician candidates related to him, and these academician candidates are relatively young, concentrated in their 40s and 50s, and there are some like Yan Ning who are less than 40 years old.

Normally, there are about 500 candidates for each academician co-option, and then half of them will be eliminated through the first round of review meeting.The remaining half will enter the second round of review meeting, so as to select about 60 newly elected academicians.

This is true of the Huaxia Academy of Engineering, and so is the Huaxia Academy of Sciences.

In the past few years, as Shuimu's scientific research funds have become more abundant and outstanding achievements have been pouring out, it has become more and more powerful in the selection of academicians. Every year, seven or eight researchers from Shuimu University are newly elected as academicians.

But this year, it has become even stronger. Qin Yuanqing alone has nominated 11 people.It is conceivable that the voices criticizing Qin Yuanqing as a Chinese scholar will start to rise one after another again.

Qin Yuanqing has long ignored this kind of voice, and he is a scholar. Anyway, he thinks that he is not wrong. He is using his influence to promote the rejuvenation of academicians in the past few years.In the past, in the selection of academicians, qualifications were often a hurdle. Many people who had clearly reached the technical level ended up being stuck because of insufficient qualifications.

Qin Yuanqing felt that this was wrong and very unreasonable.Academician is the highest academic title for Chinese scientific research personnel, and it should be reserved for those scientific research personnel with strong skills.

As for those who have been transferred to administration, there is no need to retain the title of academician.Therefore, Qin Yuanqing successfully promoted the reform of the two houses last year. One of the important reforms is the mechanism for the withdrawal of academicians.

It is true that academicians are lifelong honors, but this is for scientific researchers.For some academicians who are no longer engaged in scientific research, but engaged in administrative work, there is no need to continue to retain the title of academician, so this has caused more than [-] academicians of the two academies to withdraw from the academician.

Of course, the academician candidates nominated by Qin Yuanqing all have strong technical skills and no problem with their moral character. In this field, they must have outstanding achievements and papers.For example, Wu Shihao has made important contributions to lithium-air batteries. Today, lithium-air batteries have become the hottest industry, and there is no doubt about their influence or social benefits.For example, Yan Ning also made a major contribution to the research on the structure and function of membrane proteins in myocarditis, so Qin Yuanqing nominated her as a candidate for an academician of the Academy of Engineering.

In fact, what Qin Yuanqing wants to do more is to promote the academician selection mechanism, such as setting the highest threshold, and no longer recommending academician candidates after the age of 60. After all, at this age, except for some special fields, it is actually impossible to make great achievements. The results are achieved, and this does not only exist in mathematics, but also in other aspects.It's just that the resistance was so great that after some fierce confrontation, the threshold was set at the age of 70, and theoretically no longer recommended as an academician candidate after the age of 70.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, Qin Yuanqing is deeply touched by this.

Even if he is called a school boss, academic bullying, in fact, many things are not what he wants, even if it is the two houses, it is actually a network of networks, which one has no corresponding network ?Which one has no former disciples, former officials, and brothers from the same sect?Naturally, I think that people who are close to me will also be elected as academicians, so as to increase my right to speak.

However, Qin Yuanqing's efforts are not ineffective. In the last two elections of academicians, most of them are in the 45-55 age range. The average age has dropped considerably.

At the same time, those who used to be able to rely on their qualifications are basically cut off now. Without outstanding results, they will no longer be able to pass the selection of academicians.

Qin Yuanqing has always been adhering to a belief, that is to provide researchers with the best scientific research environment, which is not only reflected in the hardware conditions of scientific research, but also includes relatively high salaries and honors.Otherwise, if you let a top scholar spend thousands of yuan and 1 yuan a month, the lover at home is noisy, housing is a problem, and working hard on scientific research is not as good as working in a factory. Isn’t this frustrating? How can you be single-minded? Engage in scientific research.

Scientific and technological personnel not only have relatively high social status, but also need relatively high wages.

Of course, for technical personnel, honor is also indispensable. Whether it is internal unit honor or social honor, it can better motivate staff to invest in scientific research and make better scientific research results.
