Chapter 862: A drought disaster prediction that caused huge controversy!(1/2)
Qin Ke wanted to take this opportunity to make countries around the world pay attention to the upcoming freshwater crisis, and to enhance his voice and initiative in the global climate change response decision-making circle. Therefore, in the face of this somewhat sharp questioning voice, he
He replied firmly:
"This is based on the results of big data analysis and prediction model deductions conducted by my wife, my wife, and our team. According to our predictions and deductions, a severe El Niño phenomenon will occur in the Pacific Ocean in early June this year, or as early as late May.
But the impact of El Niño is different from the previous one..."
Qin Ke looked around the audience: "With the changes in global climate in recent years, under the influence of various factors, this year's El Niño phenomenon will not bring rainfall and flood disasters, but will bring severe heat and drought disasters, and will affect
The scope is very wide, not only Xia Kingdom, but also most countries in the world that are in summer will be affected. Around July this year, countries in the northern hemisphere will usher in the hottest and driest summer in history, and the highest temperature record in historical summers will be broken.
, the longest record of no effective rainfall will be broken, and the above-mentioned countries will fall into a shortage of fresh water resources or even a fresh water crisis due to the continued drought, and the harm caused by high temperature and heat waves will far exceed most people's expectations.
, and pushed up the power consumption demand of various countries and exacerbated the energy crisis. And this is just the beginning."
In the midst of loneliness, Qin Ke's voice reached every corner of the world through the loudspeaker: "In the three years starting from this year, the El Niño phenomenon will appear every year, and it will bring serious drought disasters and heat wave disasters to the northern hemisphere.
, and the southern hemisphere will be in a state of extreme cold, and global food production will be severely reduced. I call on all countries in the world to respond in advance, reserve fresh water resources and food, develop green energy, and develop water desalination technology and food drought and cold resistance increase technology. Countries
People also try their best to save water, food, and energy..."
The reporters in the audience were in an uproar, and countless viewers watching the live broadcast were in commotion.
No one expected that Qin Ke would make such a judgment that was almost a disaster prediction at such a moment when the world was attracting attention!
Countless reporters looked at each other. With Qin Ke's fame and status at this time, naturally he would not talk nonsense, but such remarks were too shocking!
Finally, a Western reporter stood up and asked in a questioning tone: "Academician Qin Ke, are you making such a judgment based entirely on your professional capabilities, or are you being alarmist because you plan to enter the seawater desalination and purification market? If I hadn't
I remember wrongly, since you announced your participation in seawater desalination research last year, you have advocated such a freshwater resource crisis in public many times!"
There were also many foreign reporters in the audience who cast similarly skeptical glances.
Unlike domestic media reporters who regard Qin Kening Qingyun as a "national hero" and "national treasure" and blindly praise it, foreign reporters are more keen on digging up dirt and making random speculations and making unreliable comments. After all, Qin Kening Qingyun is also
It is not the pride of their country.
Ning Qingyun squeezed Qin Ke's hand nervously. Qin Ke had already anticipated the reactions of the reporters present. He turned to smile gently at his little cabbage, then turned to look directly at the reporter and said:
"This is naturally a conclusion based on our professional capabilities and analysis of real data. And you have reversed the causal relationship, precisely because it is deduced based on research that a more serious freshwater crisis may occur in the next few years.
We only set up a team last year to study seawater desalination and purification technology. The current internationally renowned seawater desalination and purification technology solutions are too costly and inefficient, and are far from being able to support the huge demand for domestic and industrial water."
The next reporter immediately asked: "Academician Qin, during the Spring Festival, you mentioned that you have achieved great results in the research on seawater desalination and purification technology. Can it be put into market promotion and application?"
This time it was a domestic reporter, and the attitude of asking questions was obviously respectful.
“In terms of seawater desalination and purification technology, thanks to the discharge of nuclear sewage by an irresponsible country, we still need to spend more time to improve our technical solutions, but in terms of saltwater desalination and purification technology, we have indeed made progress. A major breakthrough has been made, and there are only some details left to be improved. We will strive to establish a pilot desalination plant in Qinghai Lake before the end of May, and try our best to provide freshwater resources for the northwest region of my country before the arrival of August. , we also welcome cooperation from colleagues in the industry, and we are willing to provide a complete set of technical solutions to peers in the industry at a lower patent licensing fee to cope with the continued shortage of fresh water resources in the future..."
Another domestic reporter asked: "Academician Qin, do you mean that you do not intend to make profits by relying on the patent of this technical solution?"
"Yes, Qingjun and I are studying these technical solutions mainly to solve mankind's fresh water crisis, not to become billionaires, so the patent licensing fee will be set as low as possible to reduce the final unit price of fresh water as much as possible.
Let ordinary people enjoy high-quality tap water at a lower price than the current water price."
There was another commotion in the audience. Qin Ke made this promise on such an occasion, so it was naturally impossible for him to break his promise. Is it true that he was not engaged in this research for profit, but just because he predicted that there would be a severe drought disaster and wanted to benefit the people?
Recalling that Qin Ke once donated the patents for the Lime Operating System and the Perfect Desert Sweet Potato to the country free of charge to benefit the people, more and more domestic reporters began to believe Qin Ke's words.
The next domestic reporter asked nervously: "Academician Qin, according to your prediction that there will be a severe drought disaster, do ordinary residents like us need to stock up on water and food in advance?"
Qin Ke faced the camera directly and said in a gentle voice: "The people of Xia country do not need to panic too much, and there is no need to rush to hoard large amounts of water and supplies. Qingjun and I are currently at the El Niño Disaster Prevention and Response Command Center
', Since last month, we have been urging the implementation of various drought and heatstroke prevention measures across the country to minimize the loss of food production caused by this year's continued drought and avoid affecting the normal life of citizens. Of course, if you are really worried,
You can keep clean drinking water, grain, oil, rice and noodles at home for about a month..."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The media interview ended with a lot of discussion, and soon, media from all over the world published relevant news.
"Passed the review! Qin Ke, Ning Qingyun, the famous mathematicians of Xia State, once again joined forces to solve the millennium mathematical problem!"
"Two of the most cutting-edge mathematicians of Xia State, with their unparalleled appearance, announced that the rise of Xia State's mathematics community is unstoppable!"
"The "Hodge's Conjecture" that points to the Millennium Problem! Will they conquer the fourth Millennium Mathematical Problem? "
"Academician Qin Ke, a master of mathematics from the Xia Dynasty, and Academician Ning Qingjun set up special incentives to encourage women to devote themselves to mathematics!"
Of course, compared to the above-mentioned news, the media prefer to publish other news content that is more likely to cause controversy in order to attract attention and click-through rates.
"A worldwide megadrought? The latest prediction from a Nobel Prize winner in physics!"
"Severe El Niño, severe heat and drought! Is this alarmism or early warning?"
"Qin Ke, a great scientist in the Xia Kingdom, made a high-profile statement about the fresh water crisis, and at the same time said that he would launch a low-cost salt water desalination technology solution developed by himself!"
"Academician Qin Ke of my country predicted that a severe drought will occur!"
"About future disasters, what Academician Qin Ke says"
"The Prophecy of Xia's Greatest Scientist, Believe It or Not"
Each of these news became more headline-grabbing and quickly caused huge controversy online and offline around the world, especially abroad. Countless scholars and experts commented online. Of course, the media will not miss such a hot topic.
Interview famous scholars and professors everywhere.
"Professor Marquis, what do you think of the recent statement by Academician Qin Ke, the Nobel Prize winner of Xia State, that 'El Niño will bring severe drought disasters around the world'?"
"I am not surprised that Academician Qin Ke expressed such a view. He has expressed similar views in the media many times before, and also sent emails to our American Meteorological Center stating similar views, so that we can prepare in advance.
"
"Is there such a thing? What is the attitude of the American Meteorological Center..."
"I can only represent my personal opinion. Academician Qin Ke may be a great mathematician and has done a lot of research on El Niño, but there is undoubtedly a very serious mistake in predicting climate disasters this time. The El Niño phenomenon has indeed caused disasters in previous years.
Drought has occurred in some areas, but in most areas disasters caused by strong convective weather are still the main ones, that is, heavy rainfall and floods. Our climate prediction model has been monitoring the signs of the El Niño phenomenon, and it can currently be judged that in July this year
It is true that there is a high probability of El Niño occurring around March, but it is almost impossible to have a severe drought disaster throughout the northern hemisphere."
"But Professor Marquis, there are rumors in the industry that Academician Qin Ke accurately predicted an extreme desert climate disaster in Xia State two years ago, and published a related paper in Nature Physics..."
"I have also read that paper, and it is indeed very well written, but desert climate and ocean climate are two completely different categories. Being able to successfully predict desert climate disasters does not mean that you can successfully predict ocean climate disasters, let alone what he predicted.
It will be a global climate disaster months or even years from now this year. The difficulty of the two is simply not the same."
"But at the end of April last year, Academician Qin Ke used the general solution of the N-S equation to predict the data of the 'El Niño phenomenon' from the perspective of fluid mechanics in an academic live broadcast. The accuracy was as high as 99.9999%. From this perspective,
His prediction model should be very mature."
"It's different. You misunderstood. It was just a prediction of some weather phenomena that may form El Niño. It was not about the El Niño phenomenon itself, let alone predicting the probability of El Niño. Moreover, it was only predicting meteorological data within 24 hours.
It is extremely difficult to predict the long-term disasters caused by El Niño this time."
"Then do you think it was indeed Academician Qin Ke's mistake this time?"
"It may not be a real 'mistake'. It's possible that Academician Qin said that on purpose."
"You mean that he may compete for the market for his own research technology solutions to build momentum in advance?"
"This is your guess, I didn't say that."
Similar interviews can be seen everywhere. Regarding Qin Ke's prediction, there are believers, doubters, scorners, and indifferent bystanders. Countless people on Twitter and Facebook are quarreling over this topic.
Of course, some people criticize others and others praise them. The American Meteorological Center dismissed Qin Ke's "prophecy", while the European Meteorological Center, the Norwegian Meteorological Center, and the Austrian Meteorological Center said they had received similar messages from Academician Qin Ke.
In the reminder email, the European Meteorological Center also publicly stated that based on its trust in the professionalism of Academician Qin Ke and his wife and their relationship as strategic partners, European member states will continue to monitor climate anomalies and carry out certain drought prevention and disaster relief actions in advance.
In China, Qin Ke’s public speech also aroused great attention. # Academician Qin Ke Predicts Severe Drought in the Second Half of the Year # jumped to the top of the hot search list.
However, because Qin Ke said that people should not be too nervous, most people only used it as a conversation piece after dinner. Only a small number of cautious people purchased a large amount of mineral water, food and even household solar generators in advance.
Just when the whole world was arousing heated discussions because of Qin Ke's press conference speech, a sudden cold wave hit the entire northern hemisphere.
On April 10, a cold wave from Siberia moved southward on a large scale. The temperature in most places in the summer country began to drop. The lowest temperature in Beijing was even lower than 10 degrees Celsius, creating a typical late-spring cold phenomenon.
The low temperature and rainy weather continued for nearly three weeks. It was not until the May Day holiday that the sky cleared up again.
The abundant rainfall almost caused floods, and the low temperature forced people traveling during the May Day holiday to wear long-sleeved jackets.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! This weird weather has also made the topic of "Academician Qin's Drought Prediction" remain hot.
Many people began to ridicule strangely, especially some narrow-minded people who were jealous of Qin Ke's young fame and high position, as well as those whose interests were damaged in the recent "hurricane leaf sweeping" operation, and even made various comments on the Internet.
Criticize Qin Ke.
Qiu Gong is one of them. He is a researcher at a scientific research institution affiliated with a university. He was found out during this year's "Operation Hurricane" for tampering with data in experimental reports several times, and was directly fined and expelled. He is 45 years old this year.
, being fired was like social death. He couldn't find a job, so he could only open a grocery store to make ends meet. Compared with his previous living status and social status, he was very disappointed with the people who were rumored to be promoting this "Operation Hurricane".
Qin Ke hated it deeply.
Seizing the opportunity this time, he connected with dozens of "victims" he knew who were also expelled from "Operation Hurricane", and together they opened various trumpets to spread rumors, slander, ridicule and attack Qin Ke on the Internet to vent their inner feelings.
Hate.
[When I went out today, I wore three pieces of clothing and was shivering from the cold. I was also hit by the rain. In previous years, summer would have already started at this time. Haha, it is a big joke to think of the 'high temperature and drought disaster' predicted by a certain academician!
】
[That is, he has been so arrogant all day, talking like a savior. Look, God can’t help but slap him in the face.]
[Hey, everyone makes mistakes sometimes, so let’s be generous and don’t step on them as hard as they catch a small mistake (yin and yang). 】
[Small mistake? Do you know that a certain powerful academician has been stubbornly insisting on his wrong views and desperately asking all localities to implement disaster prevention and drought relief measures? Many areas where water resources are not tight have to
