I really just want to be a scholar

The fourth group is the "Efficient Electrolyzed Water Hydrogen Production Technology Research Group", the fifth group is the "Low-Cost Hydrogen Storage Technology Research Group", and the sixth group is the "Hydrogen Fuel Cell Research Group".

Unlike the first three groups, which are three independent and complementary technology systems, the fourth to sixth groups are technical systems that cooperate with each other and improve together. The goal is to research green hydrogen battery power generation technology that surpasses the world today. It is to store the electric energy generated by wind, photovoltaic, tidal and other green power, and provide stable, safe, reliable, continuous and environmentally friendly energy for seawater desalination and purification technology under different conditions.

At present, Ding Sibo, as the general manager of the fourth to sixth groups, is in charge of three groups, and there are three more group leaders below. It is Ding Sibo and these three group leaders who mainly deal with Qin Kening and Qingyun.

Thanks to the "Lime Boer Dynamic Balance Power Management System", the fourth group's high-efficiency electrolysis of water hydrogen production technology has progressed rapidly, and has successfully overcome various technical difficulties. Through the proton exchange technology that integrates catalysts, additives, and chemical electrode coating , has achieved more advanced hydrogen production with lower energy consumption and higher purity, which far exceeds the mainstream technology in the market. The difficulty now is to further reduce costs and make it more competitive in the market.

The fifth group has also completed the research on low-temperature liquid hydrogen storage technology. The so-called low-temperature liquid hydrogen storage technology refers to the use of hydrogen to liquefy under high pressure and low temperature conditions, and the volume density is 845 times that of the gaseous state to achieve high-efficiency hydrogen storage. .Since the hydrogen storage technology mainly serves its own "energy conversion system", it does not need to consider the problem of long-distance transportation, because the efficiency, safety and cost of storage have become the main parameters for consideration.

At present, the fifth group is trying its best to overcome the difficulty of reducing the cost of the storage container, which is also related to the "hydrogen fuel cell" of the sixth group, because the container of the latter is also a double-layer structure of alloy and carbon nanomaterials, but The emphasis is different.

The sixth group studies the final output form of energy supply—hydrogen fuel cell, which refers to a power generation device that directly converts the chemical energy of hydrogen and oxygen into electrical energy. Its basic principle is the reverse reaction of electrolyzing water, separating hydrogen and oxygen Supplying the anode and cathode, hydrogen diffuses outward through the anode and reacts with the electrolyte, releasing electrons to reach the cathode through an external load, thereby generating current in the external circuit.

Now the "Lime No. 1 Hydrogen Fuel Cell" researched by the sixth group can achieve a power generation efficiency of 87%, surpassing the current mainstream of 61% in the world, and the cost is also lower. The current main research direction is to develop lower-cost catalysts , to further improve efficiency and reduce costs.

Qin Ke is still very satisfied with the progress of the six teams, especially that all the teams have followed his plan well, with the goal of reducing costs and improving applicability-but the initial investment cost is high and applicability is poor, It is the shortcoming of the A+ level knowledge "A new type of seawater desalination technology solution with high efficiency, low energy consumption and full-automatic".

Qin Ke spent countless efforts to formulate a plan to improve the shortcomings of this A+-level knowledge, make it an S-level knowledge, complete the task of "Please solve the fresh water crisis of mankind" issued by the system, and develop water that can be promoted worldwide. Resource desalination and purification technology solutions, and resolve the fresh water crisis of human survival in the future.

Qin Ke commented on the results of the six groups one by one, and put forward suggestions for improvement or to solve the current difficulties.

In order not to let Ning Qingyun consume too much energy and affect the development of the fetus, most of the cases are Qin Ke's comments, and Ning Qingyun only makes some theoretical supplements. After all, Ning Qingyun is still in time when it comes to practical experience. Not to mention the front-line scientific researchers who were immersed in the experiment.

The meeting was very efficient, but it lasted for nearly two hours. Finally, Ding Sibo reported the research report on Qinghai Lake.

The first goal of the current research center is not to achieve seawater desalination, but the desalination of saltwater in Qinghai Lake to solve the major problem of freshwater resource shortage in Northwest China caused by the large-scale promotion of perfect desert sweet potatoes.

For this reason, according to Qin Ke's instructions, Ding Sibo specially dispatched a research team composed of 20 people to stay in Qinghai Lake for research, so as to comprehensively judge which power generation hydrogen production technology and seawater desalination technology are suitable for Qinghai Lake.

Qin Ke made a final concluding speech, and he said with a smile on his face: "Everyone has put in countless hard work and sweat in the past eight months, so that our six groups have achieved excellent results. I will give you the year-end award this year." Don’t mention it, you won’t be disappointed.”

The crowd cheered in unison.

Although I have seen Lime Technology’s wealth and generous treatment in the past eight months, and I know that buying a house and a car with full payment within five years is hardly a problem, but the efforts you put in are recognized and there are generous material returns. very excited.

Mr. Qin is straightforward, and never talks about feelings without treatment.

Qin Ke waited for the cheers to stop before continuing: "However, please work harder and try to complete the first version of the plan before May this year, and it can be implemented in Qinghai Lake. If something goes wrong, the average temperature will increase year by year this year and next summer, and the drought disaster will become more and more serious. Especially next year, about 30% of the people in Northwest my country will be in a situation where water is difficult for domestic use. Can it be alleviated? The crisis of scarcity of fresh water resources depends on whether we can build the first new fully automatic salt water desalination plant in China with completely independent intellectual property rights, low cost, low energy consumption and high efficiency within this year."

Qin Ke's voice was very serious, and everyone's expressions became dignified.

If this was said by someone else, everyone would think it was alarmist talk, but if it was Qin Ke, the great master of fluid mechanics and Xia Guo's "No. 1" in meteorological disaster prediction, the effect would be completely different.

"We live in the city, and we may not have realized how terrible the lack of water is, but last year I went to the Northwest with Qingyun and Xiaoke, and I personally experienced the taste of even drinking water in a hot weather. , It is very difficult. It is about the water safety and even the survival of nearly tens of millions of people, please help me to solve this fresh water crisis that may threaten the survival of human beings in the future!"

As he spoke, Qin Ke bowed slightly to the technicians in the audience.

With a crash, everyone stood up, standing in awe, and said in unison: "I wish to follow Academician Qin to the death and resolve the freshwater crisis together!"

"Okay, history will definitely remember the great contributions you made! Disband!"

At the end of the meeting, everyone looked like they had been pumped again, and re-studied their positions with high spirits.

The two supervisors, Ding Sibo and Zhou Zhishu, stayed, and Ding Sibo said worriedly, "Boss Qin, is the fresh water problem really so serious?"

Only Qin Ke, Ning Qingyun, Ding Sibo, Zhou Zhishu, Qin Xiaoke, Fang Yongtang, Chen Ming, Chen Lan, Wei Feng, and Wei Jing were left in the conference room, all of whom were trustworthy.Qin Ke didn't hide it either:
"The situation will probably get worse. Qingyun and I still have a research project, which is about the analysis of the causes of extreme abnormal weather in the country and its future deduction. Although we haven't been able to find out the specific cause, we have already made a lot of deduction for the future. Results. According to the latest deduction results, the probability of a more severe 'El Niño phenomenon' this summer is 26%, and the La Niña phenomenon is likely to follow."

"Once the serious 'El Niño phenomenon' really occurs, it will lead to less precipitation in most parts of our country, higher temperatures, and continuous high temperature and drought will become the norm this year. The flow of rivers will decrease, crop production will decrease, and the ecological balance will be destroyed. A catastrophe will follow..."

Everyone felt heavy when they heard this, but Qin Ke smiled and said, "Of course, this is just the worst outcome, and no matter how bad it is, it hasn't really affected the survival of mankind. There are global climate disasters that lead to the extinction of human beings. What we are doing now is to reduce the adverse effects of meteorological disasters on human beings as much as possible. Therefore, Director Ding and Director Zhou, you two have a long way to go. Qingyun and I It is impossible to do everything in person, we can only rely on you to help implement and improve the details, whether we can complete our research goals on time depends on you."

Ding Sibo and Zhou Zhishu looked at each other, and then said in unison: "Academician Qin will definitely not be disappointed!"

From that day on, Qin Ke, Ning Qingyun and others began to stay in the research center to participate in the research of difficult problems.Both of them may not have rich practical experience, but their theoretical level surpasses that of many researchers, especially Qin Ke. His strong theoretical level, rich knowledge reserve and keen intuition enable him to use the most The fast speed points out the correct direction to solve the problem, so that each team can avoid a lot of detours, and the efficiency is greatly improved.

Because the research progress is tight, this year's Spring Festival, the research center is divided into two teams, and each takes a three-day vacation in turn to ensure the uninterrupted research work as much as possible.And Ding Sibo and Zhou Zhishu did play a great leading role, sticking to their posts from beginning to end.

Qin Ke also considered that the family members of many researchers are not in Yuanzhou, and asked the CEO of Lime Technology to arrange flights to bring all the family members of researchers who are not from Yuanzhou to Yuanzhou, and reunite with them for the Spring Festival. The whole cost includes board and lodging. Lime Technology is in charge.

This move has been warmly supported and appreciated by the researchers. Everyone's enthusiasm for scientific research is high. If it weren't for Qin Ke's regulations not to stay overnight, to have an hour of lunch break every day, and an hour of group sports time, I'm afraid The group of people will really explain with actions what it means to "wear the stars and wear the moon, forgetting to eat and sleep".

In the evening of that day, Chen Ming personally came to send Qin Kening Qingyun back to Lvcuiyingju.

Qin Ke asked with a smile: "Brother Ming, did the proposal succeed?"

Chen Ming scratched the back of his head and took out a little red notebook: "I really couldn't get a romantic proposal like yours, so I took her directly to the civil affairs department, and asked her if she would marry me when I got to the door, and I would I have been good to her all my life, she dragged me into the office hall without saying a word, so I got this marriage certificate."

Qin Xiaoke was the first to applaud and congratulate: "Congratulations to Uncle Ming's lover finally getting married!" Then he reached out and grabbed the red book to read it with Ning Qingyun.

Ning Qingyun just glanced at it twice, then pursed her lips and smiled lightly: "Congratulations Brother Ming! Where's Sister Lan?"

"Probably because of embarrassment. After receiving the certificate, he didn't talk to me very much. He hid as soon as he returned to the research center."

Qin Ke saw the clue: "My wife, why are you not surprised at all?"

Ning Qingyun blinked and blinked: "Guess?"

"You already knew that, didn't you?"

Ning Qingyun took out her mobile phone and opened a chat interface. It was her and Chen Lan's. Chen Lan sent a photo to Ning Qingyun: "[Photo], hey."

If there is no extra words, just a small word "Hey", but it can be seen that she is excited, because that photo is her and Chen Ming's marriage certificate.

Qin Ke and the others can imagine Chen Lan's expression when she sent this message. Chen Lan is a typical person who is cold outside and hot inside. laughed out.

Qin Ke said to Chen Ming who was smiling happily but shyly: "Brother Ming, take good care of Sister Lan, a girl like this who doesn't ask about the house or the car and doesn't ask for any marriage proposal ceremony. It’s hard to find, so you must cherish it.”

Chen Ming nodded firmly and said, "I will."

After sharing the happiness, Chen Ming pondered for a while, and said: "There is something, I still think it is necessary to tell you."

Qin Ke asked unexpectedly, "What's the matter?"

"In the past month, the incidents of spying on this research center in various forms have begun to increase. We have also intercepted miniature unmanned camera equipment, which is about the size of a bee." Chen Ming took out the printed photo, and there was indeed a miniature drone on it. The candid aircraft is only the size of a bee.

"We didn't find any evidence to judge its source, but some of us are proficient in this kind of sneak-camera technology, saying that it is probably an electronic product from the United States."

"We are now not even allowing outsiders who deliver food to enter the research center. The cleaning staff belonging to our lime system have to go through strict security checks before they can enter and exit. They are not allowed to carry all electronic products, including mobile phones. However, some researchers who go out still receive All kinds of lures and lures, asking them to provide research information and results in the research center. However, these researchers have reported the truth to our side after returning, and no one has been found to be bribed. "

"Not only the research center in Yuanzhou, but also the quantum computing laboratory and plant cultivation laboratory in the capital. Similar things happen, but the frequency is not as high as this research center."

Qin Ke frowned, this was expected to happen sooner or later.Now, as he and Ning Qingyun become more and more famous, each time their research results shock the world, it is not surprising that large multinational companies are interested in their scientific research results.

Especially for the seawater desalination project, Qin Ke has publicly stated to the world that he is doing his best to research this direction. It is no wonder that the multinational giants who are currently researching similar directions are not as good as facing the enemy, and they have always been accustomed to using various legitimate or improper means. To obtain information, and often make perfect preparations, without leaving too many loopholes, so that even if you guess who did it, there is no evidence to accuse them...
