Rebirth of science and technology academic master

In the laboratory, myocarditis research is going quite smoothly. The publication of nine papers has caused a sensation in China and the entire world. It is the biggest breakthrough in the field of heart disease in the past ten years.

In particular, the model developed by Qin Yuanqing simply amazed researchers in related fields and received rave reviews.

Even during this period, based on the model and 9 papers, hundreds of papers on this aspect suddenly appeared around the world, which made many researchers happy.

Special drugs are now manufactured in laboratories, and then joint research institutions and hospitals have officially launched a phase one clinical trial. This phase of clinical trials will be very long and require enough volunteers to accumulate enough test samples and Data, otherwise we can only proceed step by step, step by step.

The breakthrough results achieved by the myocarditis research team are an exciting encouragement to the Life Laboratory, and every R\u0026D staff is passionately engaged in research.

"How is it? Is there any progress in desert greening vegetation research?" Qin Yuanqing came to the drought-resistant vegetation research group and asked with concern.

After going to the Loess Plateau and witnessing the harsh environment there, Qin Yuanqing always had a sense of mission, which was to change the appearance of the Loess Plateau and desert and expand China's living space.

Once the loess plateau and desert are covered with vegetation, it will not only help improve climate conditions, but also improve people's living environment.

In history, the Hetao Corridor, the Guanzhong 800-mile Plain, and Guanlong were the foundations of overlordship. But look at Guanzhong now, where is the foundation for overlordship? It is impossible to be self-sufficient in food.

"Director Qin, we suggest setting up a laboratory in Long Province or Western Region Province, which will help research!" The leader of the desert greening team is Xie Daoxin, 52 years old this year. His main research fields are plant molecular genetics, biochemistry, functional genome and protein Use omics and other methods to study protein degradation pathways and the mechanisms by which plant hormones regulate plant growth, development and resistance.

He received funding from the National Science Fund for Distinguished Young Scholars in 2005 and has been appointed as the responsible professor of Shuimu University's "Centennial Plan" since 2006. He is a rare talent introduced by Shuimu. Qin Yuanqing also spent a lot of effort and talked to Shi Yigong before he dug it out.

"That's no problem. You guys draw up a plan to see whether you want to cooperate with relevant local units or we directly build a research structure. The units that need to be coordinated are also listed." Qin Yuanqing nodded.

Since we want to study drought-resistant vegetation and improve the appearance of the Loess Plateau and deserts, it is best to establish local scientific research sites and engage in scientific research work, which is most practical.

"Director Qin, these are the places we have chosen. Take a look. The most important thing now is that we need to provide 10,000 acres of land for our scientific research." Xie Daoxin gave the printed information to Qin Yuanqing. Apparently they had done this before. A lot of corresponding work.

"I'll take this information back and look at it, and I'll give you an answer tomorrow or the day after tomorrow." Qin Yuanqing saw that the information was still very thick, so he said without looking at the information directly.

The two laboratories spent a day to understand the status of related research topics and see if they encountered any problems that they could solve by themselves.

Back home, Qin Yuanqing looked at the information carefully. Xie Daoxin and the others chose five places in total, namely the Western Region Province, Long Province, Ningxia, Shaanxi, and Shanxi, which are all dry lands in the northwest.

After all, the purpose of the research is to develop a type of vegetation that is particularly resistant to drought, has low water storage capacity, and can fix sand, so that it can be improved to transform desertification.

The northwest region generally has a dry climate and low rainfall. Normally, vegetation in other places is not suitable for planting in these areas because the rainfall is too low and there is not enough water for irrigation.

China has naturally produced many achievements in the Sanlin Project over the years. It is obvious that relying on these achievements is not enough to control desertification.

In the end, Qin Yuanqing chose Yuwei County because Yuwei County is located in the middle of Long Province, at the eastern end of the Hexi Corridor, at the junction of Gansu, Ningxia and Inner Mongolia provinces (districts). The county has a total area of ​​5,483 square kilometers and has a temperate arid climate. It is located right in the transition zone between the Loess Plateau and the Tengger Desert, with large stretches of Gobi desert.

However, the specific details required personal on-the-spot investigation. Qin Yuanqing was also a person who pursued high efficiency. After finalizing the location, he immediately took a whole group of researchers and Yan Ning to Yuwei County.

"Academician Qin, welcome you and your team!" The local leader who received the news went to the airport to pick him up in person.

"Mr. Liu, the main purpose of our inspection this time is to conduct scientific research. The current location we have initially selected is Yuwei County. I wonder if Mr. Liu can arrange for a staff member who is familiar with the local area to take us to inspect Yuwei County." Qin Yuanqing and this The leaders shook hands and explained their intentions directly.

"Academician Qin, you have asked the right person. I have worked in Yuwei County for twenty years and know the local situation best. This time I will personally lead the team and take you to investigate." Mr. Liu said with a smile. : "Speaking of it, those years are very unforgettable for me. Unfortunately, I don't have much ability to lead everyone out of the predicament."

Qin Yuanqing did not expect that this leader had worked in Yuwei County for twenty years, which was easy to handle.

Qin Yuanqing declined Mr. Liu's arrangement to rest in a guest house. The group set out for Yuwei County before. As soon as they exited the highway intersection, all the leadership team of Yuwei County greeted them at the highway intersection. Qin Yuanqing was a little helpless. The local government was not very well-informed.

However, it seemed that it was already noon and no one had eaten, so Qin Yuanqing did not refuse the hospitality of the Yuwei County Government. He rested in the county hotel at noon and in the afternoon he went to the county government conference room to learn about the relevant situation in Yuwei County.

The more I look at it, the more I feel that the geographical location and climate conditions of Yuwei County are very suitable. In addition to the living environment around the county due to afforestation, there are also the Loess Plateau and the Gobi Desert. The entire county has a population of only 240,000, and its annual GDP is Less than 5 billion yuan.

"Mr. Liu, what I want to know is, if we set up a research institute here, can we contract a large area of ​​​​the Gobi Desert!?" Qin Yuanqing raised the question he was most concerned about: "Can the government fully cooperate with us in carrying out scientific research?"

Mr. Liu's heart was moved and he asked: "Academician Qin, can you tell us how much of the Gobi Desert you want to contract and how long you want to contract it for? And what kind of local coordination do you want?"

"The purpose of our laboratory is to explore desertification control and how to develop drought-resistant vegetation to plant trees and solidify windy sand, thereby changing desertification." Qin Yuanqing said, and then circled an area on the map: "If possible, in addition to the county seat, We will contract all the other Gobi Desert and Loess Plateau for a period of 30 years. The planning and construction of the contracted area within 30 years will all be in accordance with ours. Governments at all levels are not allowed to interfere, especially cutting down vegetation without our consent!"

Qin Yuanqing didn't want to think that he and others had worked hard to plant trees, only to be hindered and destroy the trees for planting.

Mr. Liu and the county and city leaders all looked horrified. You must know that the Qin Yuan Qing Circle covers an area of ​​5,000 square kilometers. This effort is too big.

Yan Ning and the others did not expect that Qin Yuanqing's huge undertaking would almost take over the entire county.

Such a painting is 7.5 million acres!

"Academician Qin, if you want to contract 100,000 acres, then I can make a decision on the spot. Now your painting is almost a county. I really can't make a decision directly. This matter must be discussed at a team meeting, or even Report it to your superiors." Mr. Liu said in a dumbfounded voice.

"I wonder when you will be able to decide?" Qin Yuanqing asked.

He also knew that no one could directly agree to such a big deal and would have to hold a meeting to discuss it, but his time was precious and he couldn't wait too long.

"How about I go back and hold a team meeting right away and give you a reply in three days?" Mr. Liu said.

"Okay, I'll stay in Yuwei County for a few days to investigate!" Qin Yuanqing nodded.

Later, a deputy county magistrate personally led the team and accompanied Qin Yuanqing to inspect Yuwei County. In the county seat, you can still see trees and flowers, but as soon as you leave the county seat, the Loess Plateau and the Gobi Desert, you can see a vast expanse of yellow, and even the air There is yellow sand in it.

"Professor Yan, Professor Xie, what do you think of Yuwei County?" Qin Yuanqing asked. After some inspection, he felt more and more that Yuwei County was very suitable for research.

"Director Qin, this Yuwei County is very suitable. I have seen some local plants and they all have strong drought resistance. But Director, if you propose to contract such a large area, will the government agree?" Yan Ning hesitated and said .

"Yes, and if we want to establish a research institute here and be responsible for such a large area, the twenty people in our team will definitely not be enough. We must recruit at least hundreds of people, especially undergraduates and graduate students!" Xie Daoxin also agreed. .

They already understood Qin Yuanqing's idea, which was to plant trees while conducting research, so as to explore a way to control desertification.

For many things, simply staying in the laboratory is not enough. What is possible in the laboratory may not necessarily be possible in the actual environment.

"The research institute is not enough. In such a large area, not only afforestation will be enough, but also good planning and appropriate output. Otherwise, even if I have a big family and a big business, I will not be able to solve the country's desertification control." Qin Yuanqing said with a smile.

After some investigation at this time, Qin Yuanqing already had an idea, that is, afforestation also requires output. He also saw that the social construction of Yuwei County was very backward, and the sunshine and wind here were abundant, so it was the ideal time to carry out afforestation. It is a good place for wind power and solar power generation. Although it does not provide external power supply, it can meet the needs of local electricity and scientific research.

Furthermore, in this arid climate, there are also suitable crops or fruits, which can produce more or less output to make up for some shortfalls.
