The climate and environment here are really harsh!

Spring is okay, summer is really hot, with high temperatures and drought, you can feel the scorching heat even at night. In autumn, the air is crisp, but still dry. In winter, it is simply

It is a forbidden place on earth, where the cold current from Siberia rages and heavy snow covers the earth.

However, even if it is a snowy day, the staff here do not take a long vacation. Instead, they need to seize the time to breed, so that when the weather is slightly warmer and the ice and snow melt, they can sow seeds quickly to ensure the survival rate of drought-resistant plants such as salix.

"The conditions are much better now than before. After the headquarters of our institute was built, the living conditions have been greatly improved, and the living environment and working environment have been greatly improved. Last year was the real hardship. Most people came here and were

Some comrades were acclimated and fell ill, and some comrades wanted to give up and go back to the east to work. We spent a lot of effort to overcome these difficulties." Dean Xie said with a simple smile.

The group of people arrived at the institute, and at this time they saw brand-new houses appearing in sight. The houses were not high, and were mainly seven floors. Xie Daoxin took the initiative to introduce that this area was strictly divided into living areas.

The work area, production area, work area, and production area are located in the middle. The living area is regularly distributed along the surrounding areas. The middle is full of trees and vegetation, and roads extend in all directions.

"The construction cost of the entire institute headquarters has reached 10 billion yuan. The living area ensures that each faculty member has at least one single apartment. If family members are willing to come here, they can apply for a large apartment. In addition to our production area and work area,

It can provide at least 10,000 jobs to Yuwei County a year." Xie Daoxin said: "The base is also an internship base for seven school-related majors and a scientific research base!"

"Lao Xie, how is the weather this year?" Qin Yuanqing asked.

"Principal, according to local and provincial meteorological observations, the average temperature in Long Province this year may be higher than the same period in previous years, and the precipitation will be reduced. The situation is not optimistic. Now we are formulating corresponding drought relief work!" Xie Daoxin said here,

They couldn't help but show solemn expressions.

Once a drought occurs, work will be even more difficult.

Qin Yuanqing couldn't help but sigh. It's not easy to control desertification. It can't be solved by spending money. After all, the main reason for the bad situation in the northwest is the poor innate climate conditions.

In fact, if you want to change the climate of the Northwest, turn the red land into fertile farmland, and turn the desert into a water town, it is not impossible. After all, the reason why the Northwest has a poor climate and less rain is mainly because the Himalayas and Kunlun Mountains block the northward movement.

The moist warm current of the Indian Ocean.

So regarding this issue, someone proposed a plan a few years ago, which is to drill through the Himalayas and Kunlun Mountains to build an Indian Ocean warm airflow channel that is tens or hundreds of kilometers wide.

This demonstration work was carried out in great detail, and several plans were proposed for this purpose, which are theoretically feasible, especially from the direction of Crimea, the route is short and the investment is small, so it is feasible.

However, this investment is small, and it is only relatively speaking. The investment amount is at least 10 trillion levels, and that place belongs to the powder keg of South Asia. Countless conflicts have broken out between Pakistan and India. If China invests its power here,

The third brother will probably explode immediately.

Therefore, in a short period of time, such a whimsical thing is just a thought and is not practical at all.

If you want to change the climate environment of the entire northwest and the Three Norths, the current solution is to control desertification, including soil erosion control, and increasing the greening rate. This will prevent rainfall from evaporating in a short time, and can also change the climate of the Three Norths.

environment.

After all, two thousand years ago, this was also the south of the Great Wall, a lush land, and the living conditions were not as bad as they are now. The main reason why the climate is so bad now is because of the development of human society and the deforestation, which has led to a significant reduction in vegetation, thus causing a serious environmental impact.

Change.

Qin Yuanqing took a look at the current anti-drought measures formulated by the institute, which included digging wells to meet domestic water needs and artificial rainfall.

"Is there any progress in the research on drought-resistant vegetation?" Qin Yuanqing asked.

Although this place is on the edge of desertification and has relatively little rainfall, it does have the advantage of having abundant sunlight, 365 days a year and 300 days of sunshine, so it is very suitable for solar power generation.

The base uses solar power generation on a large scale, which can fully meet the needs of the base's life, work, and production, and also supplies electricity for the entire Yuwei County.

What Qin Yuanqing was most concerned about was research results. After all, if we really want to solve the problem of man conquering nature, the most critical thing is to use scientific and technological means to significantly reduce the cost of artificial afforestation. It must be reduced by at least ten times on this basis. Otherwise, even if China's total economic output is

Even if it were doubled, we would not be able to afford the cost of desertification control.

Despite the fact that the investment in the Three-North Protective Forest was not that large, it was not as good as the Bohai Tunnel. But you must know that the purchasing power of RMB was very strong at that time. If converted to today, the total investment is definitely more than 2 trillion RMB.

"We have contacted the space agency and plan to use a batch of seeds to go into space to see if we can greatly improve the drought resistance and salt-alkali resistance of vegetation under the condition of genetic mutation!" said Dean Xie.

Qin Yuanqing nodded slightly. Genetic mutation is also a method in the field of life. It can improve certain abilities of plants from the genetic level. However, human beings' understanding of genes is actually only superficial. It is impossible to control the direction of genetic mutation. Otherwise, through the genetic level

The surgery can be performed completely according to human imagination.

Nowadays, human beings seem to be awesome, and genetic engineering makes them feel like creators. However, in fact, human beings’ knowledge at the genetic level is insignificant, not even the tip of the iceberg. For example, cloned sheep appeared twenty years ago.

, but, there is no operation to clone human organs through cloning technology and solve the functions of some human organs. This is because life is very magical. Even in theory, cloning a heart and transplanting it into the human body is theoretically possible.

Perfect, no rejection reaction will occur, but in fact, people often die soon after completing the heart transplant surgery.

Nowadays, people are full of worries about genetically modified plants, genetically modified soybeans, and genetically modified soy products, isn’t it because their safety is uncertain?

In the afternoon, Qin Yuanqing went to visit the grassroots employees. These grassroots employees have joined the institute for almost a year and have withstood the test. They are a group of young people with ideals, dreams and lofty ambitions. If there is no ideal, there will be no success.

People can take root in this great northwest.

"Comrades, Principal Qin is here to visit you! Everyone welcomes Principal Qin with warm applause!" Dean Xie said with a smile.

"Big Devil! Big Devil~~" Qin Yuanqing was greeted by uniform cheers and accompanying warm applause.

Qin Yuanqing was immediately speechless, these naughty children!

"Comrades, after more than a year, I came to the base again and saw the earth-shaking changes in the base. From the barren land at the beginning, it was basically yellow sand. Now there are 150,000 acres of forest in the base.

It also avoids the pain of sandstorms. You don’t have to wear a mask when you are here at the base.” Qin Yuanqing told his true feelings about coming here: “The base has also achieved self-sufficiency. The vegetables I grow are enough for the base itself. I

So proud of you."

"Some people may ask, will our cause be successful if we completely plant trees in Yuwei County?" Qin Yuanqing said: "No, no, this is just the beginning. Our goal is to use scientific and technological means to transform Huaxia

Desert management will change the living environment of the entire Three North Region and open up living space for us in China."

Suddenly, there was thunderous applause!

Qin Yuanqing personally went to the grassroots level to understand some of the views of the grassroots staff and the help they needed. He only listened to what Dean Xie and other senior officials said, but it was not detailed enough and was only one-sided after all.

What made Qin Yuanqing dumbfounded was that the number one priority turned out to be a partner. Since there were more men than women, the ratio of men to women was 1.5:1, which meant that even if they were all in pairs, half of the boys could not find a partner.

Regarding this issue, the only thing I can do is to recruit more girls during future recruitment, and organize social gatherings between the institute and other units to grab girls from other units.

As for whether it would cause an imbalance in the local male-to-female ratio and create a group of bachelors, Qin Yuanqing couldn't care less. After all, a dead Taoist friend would never die a poor Taoist. With the institute's generous treatment, although it is quite different from that of Shuimu School,

The minimum annual income is more than 100,000, which is still much higher than the local government department in Yuwei County. Qin Yuanqing believes that it is still competitive after all.

Qin Yuanqing stayed in Yuwei County for a full week before returning to the capital. News about Qin Yuanqing's inspection work in Yuwei County was constantly logged in Yuwei County and Long Province, and also appeared on the Shuimu official website, and on the Internet.

There are many reports.

At this time, many people discovered that Shuimu University had actually set up a research institute in Yuwei County, Long Province, specifically to explore desertification control, and now more than 150,000 acres of afforestation have been planted, with fruitful results achieved. They couldn't help but shout, "

6666”!

But the biggest news hot spot today is the "first flight rocket" developed by Beijing Interstellar Glory Space Technology Co., Ltd.: the Hyperbola-1S rocket was launched from the Qiong Province launch site, marking the successful launch of China's first private space rocket.

For a long time, these activities in China have been state-led actions, and private companies only need to lease them if they need them. But now this action means that private companies have begun to enter the aerospace field, which is of great significance.
