Rebirth of science and technology academic master

Chapter 358 The Beginning of the Conquest of the Desert

"It is unbearable that a lesbian, who has no longer engaged in scientific research, can become the director of the Aerospace Engine Research Institute!"

"Shui Mu's century-old reputation has been ruined. Some people are destroying my Shuimu foundation in order to fight for power and gain!"

"Woooo~~ Heroic spirits of Mizuki, look up in the sky and see that someone is destroying my Mizuki and turning it into a smoky mess!"

"The Langzhou hen turned into a male, the Songzhou hen turned into a male! Shuimu's century-old foundation is facing a catastrophe!"

"."

The Shuimu Forum was full of wailing. Many people spoke one after another. No one mentioned Qin Yuanqing, but the insinuations were clear. They accused Qin Yuanqing of being a new school leader and endangering the development of Shuimu.

But the students didn't care about the cries of these stubborn people at all, so although there was a public opinion offensive, it was calm. Qin Yuanqing ignored it. After all, some people couldn't see the good in others and got pink eye.

As Shuimu University introduces hundreds or thousands of fresh blood every year, these old people who still hold on to their inherent ideas and regard Shuimu as their own one-third of an acre will sooner or later be swept away in the garbage heap of history.

These older generation of professors and associate professors may have felt pressure over the years and felt that they were less free than before. Some of them voluntarily resigned and went to teach in other universities, while others were dismissed because they failed to pass the assessment after going their own way.

Sometimes reform is like this, it is gradual and cyclical, and it is impossible to wipe out all the old and young in one fell swoop.

On April 1st, April Fool's Day, the whole country and the world were shocked by the news. The Chinese government officially issued a notice and decided to establish Hebei Xiongan New Area. This is a major historic strategic choice and is the successor to Pengcheng's economic development. After the Special Economic Zone and the Pudong New Area, it is another new area of ​​national significance. The establishment of Xiongan New Area is of great practical significance and far-reaching historical significance for concentrating on decentralizing non-capital functions of the capital, exploring new models for optimizing development in densely populated and economically dense areas, adjusting and optimizing the urban layout and spatial structure of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, and cultivating new engines for innovation-driven development.

It can be said that it is no exaggeration to speak highly of Xiongan New Area.

A CCTV host commented that Xiongan New Area may become another first-tier city in China in ten years.

Qin Yuanqing felt the country's attention because the country announced the establishment of an artificial intelligence research center in Xiongan New Area to explore artificial intelligence-related fields.

This is simply a cheat for Xiongan New District!

The entire Xiongan New Area includes Xiong County, Rongcheng County, Xin'an County and some surrounding areas. The starting area is about 100 square kilometers, the mid-term development area is about 200 square kilometers, and the long-term control area is about 2,000 square kilometers. And it The permanent population is 1.0471 million.

Qin Yuanqing had never thought about going to Xiongan New Area. In the news about Xiongan New Area, Qin Yuanqing went to Yuwei County, Long Province.

After returning to Yuwei County after a few months, great changes have taken place. The Desert Control Research Institute has become a busy construction site. A world-class Desert Control Research Institute will be built here to explore methods of desert control.

Of course, the institute has rented a house in Yuwei County and is already working. The institute has grown from 20 people at the beginning to 400 people, and people come to report one after another every month. After all, this At one time, 2,000 people were recruited.

Arriving at a huge construction site, the construction team is transforming a barren beach into fertile farmland. To control this desert, we must first stabilize the quicksand, pull soil to create farmland, and improve the saline-alkali soil quality. Only then can farmland be developed appropriately while protecting the ecological environment.

At present, hundreds of people are planting sand willows in large areas under the guidance of desertification control technicians from the Provincial Forestry Bureau invited by the institute.

A tractor was used to dig a trench in the front, and the saplings were planted diagonally in the back, just enough to expose the seedlings. They were all buried and compacted, and then lightly watered. In autumn, three or four stems of more than one meter will grow, and the survival rate is generally above 90%.

Salix is ​​a desert plant and one of the very few plants that can grow in saline-alkali land. It has strong resistance to stress, is relatively drought-tolerant, likes water and humidity, is resistant to wind and sand, and has strong sand-fixing and soil-retaining capabilities. It is one of the tree species with the largest afforestation area in my country's desert areas.

Salix is ​​shaped like a torch and has the "five immortality" characteristics of being immune to drought, being gnawed by cattle and sheep, being chopped with knives and axes, being buried in sand and soil, and being drowned by waterlogging.

When spring comes, the wind and sand are raging, and the sand dunes are moving. No matter how deep the Salix is ​​buried, as long as one of its heads is exposed, it can thrive. Although it is not afraid of drought, it can still grow if there is enough rain. It is not afraid of cattle and sheep chewing it. Even if it gnaws away all the skin around it, as long as there is a branch inside that the cattle and sheep can't reach, it will regain its vitality in a short time.

The economic value of salix is ​​also relatively high - it can be used to make cardboard and paper. It contains about the same amount of heat as coal and can develop into green sandy coalfields that are cut every three to six years.

Of course, Qin Yuanqing looked down upon the benefits from the green sand and coal fields. Turning the sand into fields was the most important thing.

Salix can firmly hold the sand dunes in place, and the plant belts formed by the clusters of salix conserve the moisture in the sand, flatten the sandbags, and green areas can be formed within a few years.

Desertification control and improvement of the entire regional environment are what Qin Yuanqing values. After all, its output is almost negligible compared to its input.

The area currently under development is located near the research institute under construction. It is expected that by next year, the surrounding three kilometers will no longer be desert, but lush and green. The research institute's generosity has also brought considerable employment to Yuwei County. After all, if there is a water source nearby, you can use this salix, but further out, it is not that easy.

The characteristics of Salix also make it a research object of the institute.

It can be said that the entire Yuwei County is the experimental site of the research institute. Once it succeeds, then it will be the time for the country to really intervene, and then the whole country will be mobilized. After all, there are 700,000 square kilometers of desert in the country, and including the more than 500,000 square kilometers of Gobi, the total is 1.28 million square kilometers.

It is impossible for an individual to renovate 1.28 million square kilometers of desert. Even if Qin Yuanqing's net worth is doubled, it is impossible. This requires national power to mobilize the whole country.

"Director Qin, we have reached cooperation with six desert research institutes. We will cultivate new varieties while planting trees, and explore a plant that can reduce the cost of management!" said Dean Xie.

Since the establishment of the institute, he has been appointed as the director of the institute, but he is just under the life laboratory, and his rank is at the professional level.

"Lao Xie, I'll leave this to you. If there's anything you need me to solve, you must tell me as soon as possible!" Qin Yuanqing said sternly.

The living environment in Yuwei County is extremely harsh, far inferior to that in the capital. These researchers will stay in Yuwei County for a long time, and only return to the capital for vacation once every two months on average. Water is a very precious resource here. Do you want to I can't even take a shower a day.

And this kind of research is like a blind man touching an elephant. It requires a lot of experiments and research to cultivate suitable vegetation, and no one knows when it will be done. Maybe it will be done in one year, maybe two years, maybe five years, maybe ten years. Year!

"Director Qin, what we are engaged in is a sacred cause. Only by conquering the Gobi Desert can we in China have space to survive!" Dean Xie said firmly: "Even if I die, I will die here!"

When Qin Yuanqing heard this, he was deeply moved and patted Dean Xie on the shoulder. It is precisely because there are many such people who have devoted themselves to the great cause of the motherland with lofty ideals that China has been able to build a modern industry from ruins in a short period of time and become a modern industrial country.

This is a great undertaking that will benefit future generations for generations to come. The investment of money is one thing, and the investment of manpower is another.

Without firm faith, there is no way to stay here for long.

"Dean Xie, I feel relieved to have you here!" Qin Yuanqing said with confidence: "I believe that in less than five years, Yuwei County will become a green ocean, and our career will definitely be successful!"

The direction of this research mainly includes methods such as hybridization, transgenesis, and gene mutation. These research methods must be studied in depth in each direction, rooted in this, and explored step by step. This is an exploration of life, involving The number of researchers is not a small one.

2,000 people is just the first step. Next, the institute will recruit at least thousands of undergraduate and graduate students every year to come to Yuwei County to devote themselves to this great research.

A large piece of land is contracted by the institute, so it is owned by the institute. This means that the institute can boldly carry out scientific research here without worrying about afforestation. As a result, the forests were cut down in a few years.

Of course, not only afforestation is carried out here, but windmills are also built to generate wind power and solar power to supply the power needs of the entire Yuwei County and the work needs of researchers.

Qin Yuanqing also saw that the vegetation currently being planted is Salix, Poplar, Haloxylon ammodendron, Tamarix, Populus euphratica, Phyllostachys euphratica, Yang Chai and other vegetation. In the past, China's Three North Shelterbelt Project was invested in the spirit of Foolish Old Man to Move Mountains. After decades of efforts, a large amount of manpower, material resources, and financial resources were finally established to initially establish a protective forest belt, which finally protected the capital from the suffering of sandstorms.

However, you must know that the cost is huge, and it cannot be used to control the 1.28 million square kilometers of desert area. We must find a cheap, simple, low-water-requiring vegetation and treatment method to control the desert.

I don’t know how the leaders of Yuwei County knew that Qin Yuanqing had come to Yuwei County. They had already come to visit Qin Yuanqing before he left. Although Qin Yuanqing didn’t like this kind of dealings, he also knew that the county magistrate was not as good as the current manager. Many tasks of the institute were It requires the cooperation of the leadership team of Yuwei County to achieve success.

So Qin Yuanqing still met with them and inspected the construction site and planning drawings of the institute with them. Seeing the complete planning drawings, the leaders of Yuwei County were all very excited. Once it was realized, then what would happen in Yuwei County? The living environment will be greatly improved, and we will no longer have to suffer from the desert.
