I really just want to be a scholar

After resting for a day and completing the upgrade of Shimmer, Qin Ke relied on his strong physical fitness and abundant energy at the LV7 sports level to recover from the fatigue of the long journey to his best condition. Considering that Ning Qingyun was weak, it would not be so easy. After she recovered, Qin Ke "toughly" asked her to rest for another day, so this Monday morning, Qin Ke was the only one sitting in Wei Feng's car heading to the fluid mechanics laboratory.

Being used to being inseparable from Ning Qingyun, the experience of riding alone in the car was still relatively lonely, but it also gave Qin Ke more thoughts to observe the surrounding environment.

It didn't snow today, but the north wind was howling. As far as the eye could see, it was almost a world of ice and snow. The several large lakes we passed were all frozen.

Even the branches that had lost their leaves were frozen by the ice. They were all covered with large areas of crystal clear ice. They looked very beautiful, but they also revealed the heart-stopping power of nature.

It has been five or six years since Qin Ke came to the capital. This is the first time that Qin Ke has seen such a severe cold scene that usually only occurs in the Northeast region in the capital.

This is the severe winter during the "Little Ice Age"...

Qin Ke had been in Miami, the southernmost city in the United States, where the lowest temperature was only about minus 2 degrees Celsius. After that, he flew to Australia, which was in the summer. The first big city after returning to the summer country was also a first-tier city in the south. It’s just a gentle snowfall in the city. After returning home yesterday, he just stayed indoors in the warmth. Qin Ke’s most real feelings about the “Little Ice Age” mainly came from videos, photos, and strips. The data.

Only then did he deeply and personally experience the terrifying power of the "Little Ice Age".

He just opened the car window slightly, and the biting cold was like a shark smelling the smell of blood. It desperately squeezed in through the gap, giving Qin Ke an extremely uncomfortable tingling sensation in his fingers placed by the car window. The interior of the car, which originally had the heating on, quickly began to cool down.

It's not snowing at this moment, but it's already so miserable outside. Once there's a snowstorm...

"Academician Qin, the temperature outside at this time is only -28.9 degrees Celsius..." Wei Feng reminded in a low voice.

"Don't worry, I'm just feeling the real temperature." Qin Ke smiled and quickly closed the car window again: "Let's go."

The northern hemisphere is now in the "Little Ice Age", but extreme heat waves occur frequently in the southern hemisphere. Since mid-November, the highest temperature in many countries has exceeded 11 degrees Celsius, breaking the November record of countries in the southern hemisphere. In the past two weeks, the Amazon rainforest has experienced 44.9 There were many fire points, and the number reached the highest level in the same period.

In Eastern Europe, Central Asia, and West Asia, the collision of cold and warm weather created multiple large cyclones in the Mediterranean and Black Seas. Tornadoes, extremely severe thunderstorms, and extremely severe snowstorms occurred in many countries.

The world is unkind and treats all living things as stupid dogs and all living beings as fish and meat, but this will only further arouse Qin Ke's fighting spirit.

It's numerous fun to fight the destiny!

……

Now the Fluid Mechanics Laboratory has actually replaced the functions of the scientific research department of Xia Guo's Meteorological Center. More than 800 of the research team of more than 700 people are engaged in work related to extreme climate research.

Academician Jiang Weixian and Academician Guo Weiyang are in a semi-retired state due to their age and are no longer responsible for specific technical work. However, they are still responsible for administrative management work to alleviate Qin Ke's affairs in this area. The specific technical management work is carried out by Ding Yuefeng. Senior brother will be responsible.

Qin Ke’s real responsibility is to arrange tasks and provide guidance, so that the Fluid Mechanics Laboratory team can undertake the early and mid-term cleaning and screening work of global extreme climate big data analysis.

Qin Ke usually holds video conferences with the team about every other day. It doesn't matter whether he comes to the laboratory building or not. He focuses more on the "Global Extreme Climate Big Data Advanced Analysis Team", and his office is mainly in the "Chief Scientist Building" .

This time, Qin Ke specially took time to visit the Fluid Dynamics Laboratory. The main purpose of Qin Ke was to meet his teacher, Academician Jiang Weixian, and to chat with Teacher Jiang behind closed doors about some secret topics - such as talking openly about his father-in-law Ning Zongxun, Mother-in-law Ji Xiuyu is studying something.

"Come on, sit down." Jiang Weixian's face looked pretty good. He no longer had to fight on the front line of scientific research, and he had been practicing the Oriental Energy Training Method for a long time, which greatly improved the health of this old academician who had been exhausted for scientific research. At least now I no longer suffer from the old problem of high blood pressure. Some old diseases have also been greatly alleviated under the control of medicine.

Qin Ke smiled and presented the gift: "Teacher, these are the two red wines I chose for you and my wife in the United States. They have good health effects. The bottle on the left is for you, and the bottle on the right is for my wife. Be careful not to get it. Mix it up, I put a handwritten label on it. Drinking a small cup before going to bed every day will be good for improving your sleep quality."

Qin Ke has S-level knowledge "Cracking the Code of Human Aging" in his hand, and has digested and absorbed it. He just doesn't have the time and energy to invest in in-depth research. However, based on the knowledge in it, there is no point in choosing red wine suitable for Jiang Weixian and his wife to regulate their bodies. Difficulty.

Originally, Jiang's character was unwilling to accept gifts from students, but now Qin Ke has far surpassed him in terms of fame and academic achievements. The gift given at this time is a true filial piety and respect, and is equivalent to those of those students. People who give gifts through the back door are completely different, so Jiang Weixian just smiled and said "Why waste money again" and accepted it.

After drinking some tea and listening to Qin Ke talk about his experience in the United States, Jiang Weixian said: "Okay, you are a busy guy now. You don't have to go to the Three Treasures Hall to send two bottles of red wine in person. Come on, tell me, why are you looking for me?"

Qin Ke called Qu: "Teacher, visiting you regularly is an important job for me. You are ruining my innocence."

"If we really have a visit, Xiao Ning will come with us."

"Haha, the teacher is wise! My admiration for you is like the water of the Yangtze River flowing endlessly..."

Jiang Weixian pointed at Qin Ke and cursed with a smile: "They are all the top scientists in the world, but they still have no serious temper."

Qin Ke was just a little shy, and he didn't think he could hide it from Jiang Weixian, who had been through the world for a long time and had a sharp gaze: "Isn't this in front of you? In front of the teacher, I will always be the same student as before."

"You... really..." Jiang Weixian couldn't help but laugh. He shook his head, got up and closed the office door, and then asked calmly: "What do you want to talk to me about?"

Qin Ke secretly praised Jiang for still being old. He gave the teacher more tea and then asked in a low voice: "Teacher, do you know what my father-in-law and mother-in-law are studying?" Jiang Weixian was silent for a moment, then nodded: "Do you understand? It's very clear, but you probably know it. Anyway, you should have been qualified to know this matter a long time ago. Zong Xun didn't tell you, and your Uncle Yang didn't tell you either. On the one hand, it was due to discipline, and on the other hand, I'm afraid I’m also worried that you will lose confidence if you find out.”

Qin Ke had already guessed that they were close. He brought up this topic mainly to confirm his guess, but also to let his superiors know that "he knew it" so that he could use the research results of his father-in-law and mother-in-law if necessary later. Complete your own rescue mission.

At this time, he pretended to be surprised and said: "So exaggerated?"

"It's not an exaggeration." Jiang Wei first glanced at the closed door, then lowered his voice:

"The research direction your father-in-law and mother-in-law are doing is actually similar to yours, but you are studying the evolution and response to extreme climate, while they are studying how human beings will react in the event of a super-large extreme climate disaster that threatens human survival and is unable to cope with it. How should we retain the fire of civilization and retain the last bit of vitality? In other words, it is an escape route similar to 'Noah's Ark'."

At that moment, Academician Jiang told what he knew and some of his guesses in a slow tone.

To put it simply, it is roughly the same as what Qin Ke speculated. Twenty or thirty years ago, the Xia Kingdom's astronomical observatory detected a very strange cosmic signal. This signal was transmitted to a fixed point near the Xia Kingdom's Academy of Sciences Observatory. Received completely by a spherical radio telescope.

This special radio wave signal landed accurately, had a stable frequency, and carried very high energy. It showed repetitive characteristics and did not look like "noise" at all, but more like a "signal" sent with a purpose.

The Observatory attaches great importance to this and immediately organized experts to conduct analysis. The results of the preliminary analysis are astonishing. This radio signal shows obvious encryption characteristics. It is basically certain that it is a signal from extraterrestrial civilization rather than a natural product of some celestial phenomenon. , let alone random interference signals.

The Observatory reported the situation in detail to the Charcot Academy. The Charcot Academy was surprised and attached great importance to it. It believed that it was most likely a communication signal from other civilizations in the universe. After discussion, it decided to conduct in-depth research and analysis on this mysterious signal. Analysis to understand their origin and nature, for which a supercomputer was specially applied for interpretation.

As a result, even with the long-term use of supercomputing resources to crack it, it took nearly ten years intermittently to finally successfully restore it to a very long text message - a text message written in Chinese.

This is even more shocking. It was transmitted from a fixed point in the extremely distant universe to the Xia Kingdom, and it was written in Chinese. The importance and significance of this piece of information were immediately elevated to the highest level.

Jiang Weixian did not know the specific content of this cosmic signal. He only knew that it was an early warning that the planet would usher in a serious climate disaster in the near future that would almost lead to the destruction of mankind, reminding mankind that it must prepare and respond as soon as possible. .

It was half a year after the cosmic signal was successfully interpreted that Ning Zongxun and his wife accepted the major mission entrusted by their superiors. Jiang Weixian also only partially knew the specific content of this mission, because he also received orders to cooperate with the research of Yu Zongxun and his wife and provide analysis and research results on extreme climate data...

"Your superiors know that you have done in-depth research on extreme climate disasters, and may even be aware that huge climate disasters will threaten human survival in the future, but they still haven't taken the initiative to talk to you about this. Because your superiors are a little worried, worried that you think this Then the 'prophecy' is a certain future, and we lose confidence in fighting the extreme disasters caused by global climate change..." Jiang Weixian stared at Qin Ke who looked calm, and smiled happily:

"It seems that I, the old man, guessed it right. You are by no means the type to sit back and wait for death. No matter how difficult the future is or whether it is a 'foregone conclusion', you will go all out to change this 'destined' future, right?"

Qin Ke smiled softly: "Mr. Jiang, you should know that I have invested a lot of time and energy with Edward Witten and others to study M theory, which is now the 'QWTNQ theoretical system'. I have a deep understanding of the key node vibrations of time strings. , the theory that leads to the creation of infinite parallel universes is deeply studied. The so-called 'destined future' is just one of the parallel universes in my eyes."

He filled the teacup that Jiang Wei was facing before and said with a confident smile: "If I can find the key to the change of multi-dimensional space-time of radioactive elements and make them harmless, I can find a way to solve the global extreme climate disaster. I like this planet very much, even more If you like the world you live in, you won’t let it be destroyed like this.”

Speaking of this, Qin Ke said sincerely: "Thank you, Teacher Jiang. Your words make me feel that the research I am currently conducting is more meaningful and challenging. I am now fighting at the MAX!"

"You..." Jiang Weixian looked at his proud disciple with eyes full of joy and admiration: "If you have time, talk to your Uncle Yang. He will tell you more details. Now solve the global extreme climate problem The burden of the disaster can only be placed on your shoulders. Your Uncle Yang will probably be like me and will not hide anything from you. You don’t have to worry that knowing this, you will be like your father-in-law and mother-in-law. Enter a certain research institute and do research without seeing the light of day.”

The old academician stood up and patted the back of Qin Ke's hand: "The future of mankind and the future of this planet all depend on you young people. As long as old bones like me and Lao Guo can continue to shine, it's up to you. handle."

"Thank you, Teacher Jiang." Qin Ke bowed slightly to the teacher solemnly.

The two chatted for a long time before Qin Ke stood up and left. Watching Qin Ke's retreating back, Jiang Wei first thought for a moment and dialed Yang Chengke's number.

"Leader Yang, I have told Qin Ke what I know about the situation, and I will hand the stick over to you. Don't worry, this kid's mentality is much better than that of ordinary people. After listening to this, he didn't even raise an eyebrow. On the contrary, he became even more motivated. Yes. Some people will only be crushed when they encounter huge pressure, while some people will become more courageous as they fight, constantly creating miracles that others can never do. Qin Ke is the latter kind of person. I am optimistic about him and believe in him even more. . As long as he is around, the future of mankind will definitely find a new way out!"

……

Qin Ke was not in a hurry to find Uncle Yang. Since Jiang Weixian had confirmed his suspicions all along, Teacher Jiang would probably explain the situation to his superiors, and his goal would have been basically achieved.

Now he wants to go to the "Chief Scientist Building" first to see how the team of outstanding mathematicians from all over the world is getting along.

During this time, neither he nor Ning Qingyun was around, so Tao Zhexuan, Chen Licheng, and Kelvin Thomson could only rely on Tao Zhexuan, Chen Licheng, and Kelvin Thomson to temporarily manage the team.

Judging from the task execution status reported back over the past 20 days, the team is quite stable, especially with his and Ning Qingyun’s report on the Hodge conjecture, the report on the International Congress of Mathematicians, and the second Fields Medal win. Has settled down.

However, the overall task execution efficiency still has a lot of room for improvement.

While guiding and improving the overall strength of the team, while improving the overall cohesion and combat effectiveness, this is the focus of Qin Ke's next work.

However, he has to go abroad in early December to receive the Nobel Prize and to consult with the European Meteorological Center and European scientists, so in the next ten days or so, he will have to make great efforts to lay a solid foundation. (End of chapter)
