Early morning, Arada city.
Qin Ke opened the window of the hotel room, and the morning breeze blew in his face. He could clearly feel that the remaining coolness in the night air was fading away, and in the distance, he could faintly see a layer of yellow dust distorting the airflow over the desert.
.
Fortunately, although Arada City is close to the Taklimakan Desert, it also has a typical desert climate with a large temperature difference between day and night. However, it is still much better than the hinterland of the desert. At least the climate is not that extreme. Otherwise, at seven or eight in the morning, there would have been a heat wave.
It's coming.
Ning Qingyun also walked to the window. She was wearing a pure white short-sleeved T-shirt, a light UV-proof blouse, and a pair of light green cropped shorts, revealing half of her white, gracefully curved slender calves.
Coupled with white sneakers, it looks extremely refreshing.
It's just that Ning Qingyun's expression was a little solemn at this time.
She frowned and said: "Although there is no serious El Niño phenomenon this summer, the temperatures in inland areas, especially in the north, have successively exceeded record highs, and the highest temperatures in many places have reached over 40 degrees Celsius. I just checked, Arada
The temperature in the city in recent days has also been 1.5°C higher than the highest ever recorded. I always feel that the climate changes in recent years are a bit abnormal."
"Yes... it is indeed a bit abnormal. More than 300 northern counties and regions have continued to hang red warnings for high temperatures. Logically speaking, the superposition of the La Niña effect, the influence of North Atlantic sea temperatures and atmospheric circulation in mid- and high latitudes will not
Such a long period of high temperature." Qin Ke also felt a little uneasy, especially after talking with his father-in-law.
Currently, the independent project "Analysis of the causes of extreme abnormal weather across the country" that he and Ning Qingjun in the Fluid Mechanics Laboratory are advancing according to the planned schedule. With the general solution of the n-s equation in hand, the overall research is going relatively smoothly.
, but this only uses the extremely cold winters more than four years ago and last year as the main data sources for analysis, and does not include this year's extremely hot weather.
Firstly, this is because not all climate data for this summer have been generated. Secondly, once extremely hot weather data is added, the workload will double, and all data analysis models will have to be reconstructed, which will cost too much time.
However, Qin Ke, with his keen scientific intuition, believes that the two abnormal climate phenomena of extreme heat and extreme cold may have the same main cause. When the "National Analysis of the Causes of Extreme Abnormal Weather" project makes breakthrough progress, maybe it will
It can be used to try to analyze the extreme and unusually high temperatures this summer.
Qin Ke said softly: "What I'm most worried about is that the hot weather in the north will cause the water resources to become even more tense. During our on-site visit this time, we can't just look at the situation of desert sweet potatoes, but also have to pay attention to the situation of rivers and waters.
Only by studying changes in water volume."
While Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun were talking, there was a knock on the door, and then Qin Xiaoke's spirited voice came: "Brother, sister-in-law, have you gotten up?"
"I'm up, I'll open the door right away." Ning Qingyun went over to open the door, and Qin Xiaoke, who was wearing a cool sports suit, hugged her with a smile and rubbed her hard: "Hey, let me add something to the conversation today.
The energy of a beautiful girl, well, I feel so comfortable all over.”
Qin Ke went over and tapped her forehead: "Are you a middle-aged otaku? You also replenish your beautiful girl energy! I didn't even hug you today."
Qin Xiaoke protested: "Brother, you hugged me enough last night. What's the big deal if I hug you for a little while? It's true, brother is a dictatorial stingy!"
"If you keep yelling, I'll send you back to the capital."
"Oh, sister-in-law..."
"Okay, okay, don't talk about Xiao Ke, Xiao Ke is so cute. Come on, Xiao Ke, I'll give you a hug, and I'll also replenish my beautiful girl energy, hehe."
"Sister-in-law is the best! Hehe! Let's nuzzle each other!"
"What's so cute? You're almost nineteen years old, and you still look like you're fifteen or sixteen without a lot of personality." Qin Ke curled his lips.
Although he looked unhappy on the surface, he was actually quite happy when he saw his wife and sister making love and affection.
Qin Xiaoke will soon go to the capital to study. According to Ning Qingyun's plan, Qin Xiaoke will live with them in the garden villa of Qingmu University. At this time, he saw the relationship between Qin Xiaoke and Ning Qingyun.
It's so good, like a biological sister, how much trouble can be saved in household chores?
"Brother, brother, where are we going today?"
"First go to the desert sweet potato fields outside the city. It may be hot, but don't complain about the heat when you come."
Qin Xiaoke saluted: "Hey, I promise to maintain my revolutionary will and endure hardships and hard work!"
During this trip to the desert, Qin Ke did not plan to have a separate honeymoon vacation with Ning Qingyun. It was a scientific research investigation and a social practice. Therefore, in addition to Wei Xueming, the director of the Lime Plant Cultivation Laboratory, and two other people, he
In addition to the researchers, there are also Ji Jiahai, deputy director of the "Danhua Resource Recycling Technology Department" of the Yuanzhou Research Center, researcher Shen Shengxian, and the little girl Qin Xiaoke.
After their wedding in Beijing, Qin Xiaoke was taken back to Yuanzhou by his father Qin Yanghui and mother Shen Qiuyi. The reason was naturally not to disturb Ning Qingyun's time with her parents.
This time, Qin Xiaoke followed Chen Lan, Ji Jiahai, and Shen Shengxian and flew directly from Yuanzhou City to Arada City to meet Qin Ke and his party. Chen Lan would also follow him, making another guest appearance to protect Qin Ke.
Xiaoke's bodyguard role.
Yesterday, the group met at the airport in Arada and checked into the hotel together. Today is the first official day of the trip.
Qin Ke agreed to Qin Xiaoke's participation in this research work, naturally considering that the risk was relatively small, and it also allowed the little girl to have a long experience and personally see the living conditions of the people at the bottom, just like when he took her to inspect Qing Ning
The scene of the student aid project is the same.
In Qin Ke's understanding, art comes from life and is higher than life, but it cannot be ungrounded. As long as the spring is bright and the snow is shining, this will only cause art to be divorced from life and lose its spiritual connotation. The latter is what Qin Ke hopes his sister will do in the future.
The most important thing to stick to in your artistic creation career.
At this time, Qin Xiaoke's statement made Qin Ke quite satisfied. He stretched out and said to Ning Qingyun and Qin Xiaoke: "First do the Eastern Secret Code, then go down to have breakfast and set off."
The large room he booked has a lot of space, so there is no problem for three people to practice the Eastern Secrets together.
Qin Xiaoke has now learned the Oriental Secret Code from Ning Qingyun, and it seems to be similar when practicing with the two of them.
After finishing breakfast and applying sunscreen, a group of more than 20 people drove off, planning to visit a few places before the hottest period arrived.
…
This trip of Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun was not publicized, but it was not kept secret either. Wei Feng and Wei Jing led ten professional security personnel to protect them throughout the trip. Allada City knew that Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun were two important people.
The academician came to investigate and wanted to arrange various receptions. Qin Ke declined all of them and just accepted the guide service arranged by the local area.
The guide's name is Liang Zhonggui, a native local who is responsible for the promotion of desert sweet potatoes in Arada City. He is quite familiar with the local situation. Under his guidance and introduction, Qin Ke and his party braved the scorching sun and heat and walked into the fields.
, had direct conversations with many farmer friends who planted desert sweet potatoes, and even squatted in the fields and dug out the hot yellow sand to learn about the growth of desert sweet potatoes under such high temperature and drought.
Wei Feng and Wei Jing wanted to hold umbrellas for them to block the sun, but Qin Ke refused and had to stand aside and guard.
Liang Zhonggui was extremely moved when he saw this. He had received many important figures. Nationally famous academicians and great scientists like Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun actually came to the front line in person to conduct in-depth research on crops in such bad weather.
This is the first time I have seen the growth status.
He had only heard of the late Mr. Yuan, the great agricultural scientist and the father of hybrid rice, conducting such personal research before.
No wonder that in the minds of many farmers, the reputation of these two young academicians is almost as good as that of Mr. Yuan. At this time, the old farmers in the fields knew that the visitors were Academicians Qin Ke and Academician Ning Qingjun, who had researched desert sweet potatoes.
It can be seen that they are respected as living Bodhisattvas.
Qin Xiaoke had previously traveled across the country with Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun during the summer vacation of the second grade of junior high school. He had seen deserts and the Great Gobi, but at that time he had only seen small deserts. This was the first time
I personally experienced the scenery of a world-famous super desert like the Taklimakan Desert, but obviously the experience was not very good. The little girl was so hot that her clothes got wet and she kept wiping her sweat.
Seeing that Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun didn't want to leave, she endured the heat and squatted down to watch them study the plants. Sometimes she would take out her mobile phone and take some photos so that she could use them as material to draw some illustrations in the future.
.
——Later, Qin Xiaoke drew a series of comics based on the experience of this desert survey, called "My Brother and Sister-in-law's Desert "Tour"", which recorded many scenes of Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun's field survey.
.This set of comics caused a huge sensation and a rush to buy once they were published, and even triggered a big discussion on "whether academicians should conduct field research under harsh conditions." These are things for later, so I won't go into details for now.
At this time, an old farmer with tanned skin respectfully brought a bowl of water to Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun. Liang Zhonggui saw that the bowl was a little chipped, and was about to stand up and say, "We have bottled water," suddenly there was a burst of water.
The wind and sand blew, and the water in the bowl was suddenly covered with a layer of dust.
Liang Zhonggui had more reasons and hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Academician Qin, this water is dirty..."
Qin Ke waved his hand, took the bowl from the old farmer who was about to take it back in embarrassment, took a swig of water, and then handed the bowl to Ning Qingyun.
Ning Qingyun took a few sips without hesitation. Qin Xiaoke looked at the two of them, then took the bowl and drank up the remaining water.
When the old farmer heard what Liang Zhonggui said, his weather-stained face was full of nervousness. Now when he saw Qin Ke and the others drank all the water, he rubbed his palms and said anxiously in Mandarin with a country accent: "Qin Ke
Academician, this water is dirty...you shouldn't drink it, you shouldn't drink it..."
Qin Ke smiled and said: "Old man, don't you usually drink water like this? Just think of it as supplementing some minerals. This pure natural gift from nature is much more useful than taking any nutritional supplements."
"This... this..." The old farmer was clumsy and didn't know how to answer, but the lines on his face, which were originally covered in sand and dust and were tense and uneasy, obviously relaxed.
Qin Ke took the old farmer's rough hand again, pointed to the small poles inserted in the field and asked: "Old man, why did you insert so many small poles to mark the location where the sweet potatoes are planted?"
Qin Ke's attitude moved and warmed the old farmer, but he also relaxed and no longer stuttered nervously in front of big people: "Yes, the wind and sand are sometimes strong and will completely bury the sweet potato vines. The snow last winter was also very heavy.
If it is large, it will also bury the sweet potatoes. In order to find the sweet potatoes and make it easier to water, I found these small hollow poles and inserted them directly into the roots. I only needed to carefully water the water mixed with the nutrient solution along these small poles.
It also saves water.”
Qin Ke was pleasantly surprised and asked about the price of the hollow poles. He found that they were made of plastic and were quite cheap. One acre of land cost only about two to three hundred yuan, and they could be recycled.
Qin Ke couldn't help but smile to Ning Qingyun and said: "The wisdom of the people is indeed infinite. The automatic drip irrigation technology we originally developed is very effective, but it requires an initial investment and can only be implemented on large state-owned farms.
, For ordinary individual families, the method like this is the most suitable, it is low cost, easy to implement, and can also save water.”
Ning Qingyun nodded repeatedly while wiping the sweat from her forehead. The drip irrigation technology she originally developed can indeed maximize the utilization of water resources, and can be applied to large-scale sweet potato cultivation. Once established,
The drip irrigation system can be continuously recycled, greatly reducing planting costs. However, as Qin Ke said, the disadvantage is that the initial investment is a bit large, which cannot be afforded by poor farmers in these desert edge areas.
This time the two of them came here and were wondering whether they should suggest that the country use rural cooperatives to apply for interest-free loans to promote drip irrigation technology. Now they discovered that there is actually a simpler and more suitable method for ordinary individual poor farmers, such as this person.
The old man's method of inserting the hollow rod is very good.
Wei Xueming, who was standing next to him, was also very touched by what he saw. He asked and recorded many questions so that he could see if other fresh vegetable and fruit varieties suitable for planting in desert edge areas could be cultivated in the future.
