Rebirth of science and technology academic master

This year's temperature in southern Fujian is one or two degrees higher than in previous years.

During the Spring Festival, the daytime temperature never dropped below 24°. Qin Yuanqing understood somewhat. It seemed that the climate trend had not changed. Southern Fujian had entered a particularly dry year in history. He remembered that starting from this year, the entire Fujian Province The rainfall has been much lower than in previous years. Although it was good in previous years thanks to the reservoirs all over the province, by 2020, all small reservoirs have dried up, and villagers have grown vegetables directly in the reservoirs, and even large and medium-sized reservoirs have Entering an 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 to say, during this year, artificial rainfall has been carried out every three to five times. Every time a typhoon occurs, what people look forward to most is that the typhoon will land in southern Fujian, which will bring a lot of rainfall and alleviate the drought.

Unfortunately, the past few years have been very strange. Not a single typhoon has made landfall in southern Fujian. At first, when everyone saw the typhoon making a detour, they all said that it was the statues of Zheng Chenggong and the Victory Women’s Volleyball Team that blessed them. But when the drought became worse day by day, it seemed that When the typhoon takes a detour and goes to another place, they will sigh, curse, and wish to tear down the statues and wind-fixing beads.

The power of natural climate is sometimes more powerful than weapons, because there is almost no solution. It will not rain. Even if you want to use artificial rainfall, artificial rainfall also requires conditions. It does not mean that you shoot dry ice into the sky. It can rain from the sky.

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

Qin Yuanqing experienced the drought in those years and saw that the reservoirs that were originally full of water dried up, and the villagers still opened vegetable gardens in the reservoirs to grow vegetables.

However, this has not affected the current situation. Everyone is enjoying the Spring Festival holiday. Even because of its growing reputation, many people come here to travel and even 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 the year he works overtime most often.

So during the Spring Festival, Qin Yuanqing spent time with his family and enjoyed the rare relaxation during the holidays. He took his children boating on the river during the day, picked strawberries and tomatoes, grilled sweet potatoes, and became the king of children for a time.

This comfort made Qin Yuanqing extremely relaxed physically and mentally.

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

On the ninth day of the Lunar New Year, they said goodbye to their relatives. Qin Yuanqing's family officially ended their Spring Festival holiday. As for his parents, they would not go to the capital until after the Lantern Festival.

Although the Spring Festival has just ended, the Internet is very lively because the aircraft carrier No. 002 went to sea for testing just after the Spring Festival, and it was different from the previous one. This time, two J35 carrier-based aircraft were parked on the deck of the aircraft carrier. Once they will conduct the first aircraft carrier take-off and docking tests.

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

Even the 0.55 million-ton cruise ship was officially completed and launched into the water during the Spring Festival, a time when the whole country was celebrating, and was delivered to the navy, making China officially possess the 10,000-ton cruise ship. The terrifying steel giant ship and powerful combat effectiveness allowed China to officially possess the 10,000-ton cruise ship. Countless military fans feel excited.

Moreover, in the next four years, eight 0.55 million-ton large-scale cruise ships will be officially put into service and delivered to the Navy for use by the Navy to replace the Navy's old warships.

Of course, there are some bitter criticisms from some public figures, saying that this is militarism. The money invested in these military equipment can be used for poverty alleviation, which will lift millions of people out of poverty. It's just that these people don't understand after all that their era has passed and they no longer have their original influence because they have been abandoned by the times.

Qin Yuanqing adjusted his mentality and resumed his usual work rhythm. During the day, he participated in scientific research in the laboratory. In the afternoon, he led a team to visit the retired faculty and staff of Shuimu. He sent oil, rice and red envelopes, giving the warmth from the school to these retired teachers. The employees represent that the school has not forgotten the contributions they have made to the school.

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

The institute's large-scale recruitment of undergraduate and master's degree graduates has ushered in spring for the biology major. After all, there are nearly 2,000 jobs and high salaries. Therefore, even though you are working in a remote place with a harsh environment like Yuwei County, But many people still choose to go.

Of course, Qin Yuanqing also has his own work. One of his important tasks is to nominate academician candidates. This time, he nominated 2 academician candidates from the Automobile Research Institute, 2 from the Aero Engine Research Institute, 3 from the Chemistry Laboratory, and 4 from the Biological Laboratory. , there are a total of eleven academician candidates related to him, and these academician candidates are all relatively young, concentrated in 40 to 50 years old, and some like Yan Ning are less than 40 years old.

Normally, in each academician selection process, there are about 500 candidates, and then half of them will be eliminated through the first round of review meetings. The remaining half will enter the second round of review meetings to select about 60 newly elected academicians.

The same is true for the Chinese Academy of Engineering, and the same is true for the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

In recent years, as Shuimu's scientific research funding has become more abundant, outstanding achievements have continued to emerge, and its performance in the selection of academicians has become stronger. Every year, seven or eight researchers from Shuimu University are newly elected as academicians.

This year it has become even stronger, with Qin Yuanqing alone nominating 11 people. It is conceivable that voices criticizing Qin Yuanqing as a Chinese scholar will begin to rise again.

Qin Yuanqing has long ignored this kind of voice, and he just wants to learn from others. Anyway, he thinks that he is not wrong. In recent years, he is using his influence to promote the rejuvenation of academicians. In the past, in the selection of academicians, qualifications were often a hurdle. Many people had obviously reached the technical level, but ended up being stuck because of insufficient qualifications.

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

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

It is true that academicianship is a lifelong honor, but it is only for scientific researchers. For some academicians who are no longer engaged in scientific research but are engaged in administrative work, there is no need to continue to retain the title of academician, so this has caused more than 300 academicians of the two academies to withdraw from the academicianship.

Of course, the academician candidates nominated by Qin Yuanqing all have excellent technical abilities and good moral character. They must have outstanding achievements in the field and have papers and papers. For example, Wu Shihao has made important contributions to lithium-air batteries. Nowadays, lithium-air batteries have become the most popular industry. There is no doubt about its influence and social benefits. For example, Yan Ning made significant contributions to the study of the structure and function of membrane proteins in myocarditis, so Qin Yuanqing nominated him as a candidate for 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 a maximum threshold and no longer recommending academician candidates over the age of 60. After all, at this age, except for some special fields, it is actually impossible to make great achievements. The result is true. This does not only exist in mathematics, but also in other aspects. However, the resistance was so great that after a fierce confrontation, the threshold was set at the age of 70. In theory, candidates over the age of 70 are no longer recommended as academician candidates.

Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes. Qin Yuanqing was deeply aware of this.

Even if he is called an academic tyrant or an academic bully, in fact many things are not what he wants to do. Even the two academies are actually woven into networks, and neither one has a corresponding network of relationships. ? Which one doesn’t have disciples, former officials, and fellow disciples? Naturally, I want people who are close to me to be elected academicians to increase my voice.

However, Qin Yuanqing's efforts are not without effect. In the last two academician selections, most of the people were in the 45 to 55-year-old range. Compared with the previous academicians, the age of the academicians has been reduced a lot, which has also led to academicians of the two academies. The average age has dropped a lot.

At the same time, some people who could rely on qualifications in the past are basically cut off now. Without outstanding results, they will never pass the academician selection.

Qin Yuanqing has always adhered to the belief that it is to provide researchers with the best scientific research environment, which is not only reflected in the hardware conditions for scientific research, but also includes relatively high salaries and honors. Otherwise, if you ask a top scholar to earn tens of thousands or ten thousand yuan a month, his wife is noisy at home, and housing is a problem. He works hard in scientific research but is not as good as working in a factory. Isn't this frustrating? How can he be single-minded? Do scientific research.

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

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