Media from various countries rushed to report, and the headlines of almost all mainstream newspapers around the world were closely linked to the names Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun!

"The probability of climate change next year and the next year is still very high! The latest predictions of Nobel Prize winners Academician Qin Ke and Academician Ning Qingjun have been released!"

"Academician Qin Ke and Academician Ning Qingjun, the couple's greatest scientists in the Xia Kingdom, made detailed predictions on climate disasters in the next three years for the first time in Dali, Italy!"

"A well-known academician issues a global warning! Don't relax your vigilance. The disaster situation caused by climate change in the next three years will be even more dangerous!"

"They called for saving water and electricity, doing a good job in disaster prevention and response, and strengthening the research and development of new seeds and seawater desalination technology!"

"The most luxurious research team is born! Five Fields Medal winners will join forces to solve the century-old problem of making radioactive elements harmless!"

"Academician Qin Ke expressed his willingness to conduct in-depth cooperation with the European Meteorological Center!"

It is completely different from the last time Qin Ke made a public prediction when many foreign meteorologists questioned it. This time their words were almost regarded as "truth."

A meeting was held to discuss the next work arrangements for preventing and resisting abnormal climate disasters. Meteorological centers in many countries have sent invitations to Qin and Ke for cooperation, or expressed their willingness to spend a lot of money to hire as their country's general consultant for meteorological research.

For a time, the whole world made huge waves because of the academic reports and speeches given by the two during their trip to Dali.

…

It was amid such huge attention that Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun came to Linqin National Academy of Sciences.

Linqin National Academy of Sciences, formerly known as Lynx Academy of Sciences, was named because the institute’s original badge had a lynx logo on it, and was later transliterated as Linqin National Academy of Sciences.

It is the oldest academy of sciences in Europe. It was founded in 1603. It was once called the "Papal Academy of Sciences" and now its official name is the "National Academy of Sciences of Italy" (many people also follow the old habit and call it the "National Academy of Sciences of Linqin".

”), is the highest scientific research institution in Italy and is extremely famous in the European academic community.

Its selection of foreign academicians is also extremely strict, and will only be added after the death of Academician Xi. Last year, Qin Ke and Ning Qingjun became foreign academicians of the Italian National Academy of Sciences, which caused quite a stir in Italy and Europe.

sensation.

The Italian National Academy of Sciences attached great importance to the visit of Qin Ke and Ning Qingjun. President Vittorio Hamilton and dozens of academicians at home went out to welcome them.

Dean Hamilton held Qin Ke's hand vigorously and said enthusiastically: "Academician Qin, welcome to your arrival. More than a year has passed since our last quick meeting. Today I finally have the opportunity to sit down and have a good time.

Let’s chat.”

Last time, because Qin Kening and Qingjun had a tight schedule, the two of them only stayed here for about two hours. It could be said that they received the foreign academician certificate from Dean Hamilton, took a group photo, and had a quick visit to the Academy of Sciences.

Then we left without actually being able to sit down and talk in detail.

Qin Ke said apologetically: "I am honored to be a member of the Italian National Academy of Sciences, and I am also honored to receive those sincere invitation letters from President Hamilton. Because of the many affairs, today

Only then was I able to attend the appointment, and I ask for Dean Hamilton’s forgiveness.”

"No, we all know that you two are busy with work. It is also an honor for us that you can make a special trip this time. We also went to listen to your report at the Sapienza University of Rome yesterday. It was so exciting. We all think it is

This is the best meteorological report we have heard in the past ten years." Dean Hamilton's attitude was so good that he even flattered Qin Ke and once again confirmed that this was what the Italian Academy of Sciences was asking for.

Between myself and Ning Qingyun.

Sure enough, after the visit, Dean Hamilton invited Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun to sit down in his office, served coffee, and then got to the point.

"Listening to your two reports yesterday made us even more worried about climate anomalies in the next three years. To be honest, our country has experienced a serious shortage of fresh water resources this year. Our country's main fresh water resources come from underground well water.

As well as river water, although our country has made preparations in advance this year after receiving the warning email you sent to the European Meteorological Center, we did not expect that the high temperature and drought would last for so long..."

Dean Hamilton couldn't hide his helplessness and sigh.

Who would have thought that throughout the summer, for nearly four months, not even a liter of rain fell? The longest duration of no effective rainfall in the history of Italy was only 102 days, and this time it reached 121 days.

!

In particular, the water level of the largest freshwater river in the country, the "Po River", continues to hit new lows. You must know that the Po River is the main irrigation water source in Italy's most important grain-producing area, supplying 40% of the country's grain, and is also the main source of food in northern Italy.

The water level of the drinking water source has hit record lows, directly threatening the survival of the Italian people!

Moreover, the Po River is only a microcosm of the shortage of fresh water resources in Italy. Similar situations have occurred in the Tvere River and the Adige River. The shortage of fresh water resources in Italy this year is evident.

If it hadn't been for the intermittent rains that started last week, which alleviated the drought, the whole country in Italy would still be suffering from water shortage.

This has also made Italy realize that the need for seawater desalination is imminent. Although Italy currently has seawater desalination projects, the costs are high and the results are not very good. The fresh water provided only accounts for 0.1% of the national fresh water supply.

How to solve this huge contradiction in demand has fallen to the Linqin National Academy of Sciences, the highest and largest scientific research institution in the country.

You can imagine how much pressure Dean Hamilton was under.

What makes him feel most desperate is that, judging from yesterday’s public academic report by Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun, drought disasters like this year will continue to occur in the next three summers, and may even be more serious than this year!

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Even if we rush to build reservoirs and water conservancy projects at this time, and use the rain and snowfall in autumn and winter to accumulate fresh water resources, it will only be a drop in the bucket. In the final analysis, we still have to draw from the surrounding Adriatic Sea

and the Mediterranean Sea in search of water resources.

This is why Dean Hamilton repeatedly invited Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun to visit and hold talks.

After telling the specific situation almost without reservation to show the greatest sincerity for asking for help, Dean Hamilton asked with great hope: "Academician Qin, I heard that you have made a major breakthrough in Xia Guo's seawater desalination technology.

, the patented technology of 'Lingning Technology New Energy and Water Desalination and Purification Integrated Technology Solution' has been opened to foreign applications, is it true?"

Qin Ke knew what was going on, he nodded and said: "The patented technology of 'Ling Ning Technology New Energy and Water Desalination and Purification Integrated Technology Solution' has now passed special mutual recognition channels in major countries and completed emergency patent recognition filings.

Basically, most countries can apply for a license to use this patent. However, although this integrated technical solution can also be applied to seawater, it is not perfect in terms of seawater desalination efficiency and energy efficiency ratio, and it is not perfect in solving the problem of nuclear sewage.

At present, even if this technology is used for seawater desalination, it is not safe enough..."

Dean Hamilton waved his hands and said: "I think we can put aside the issue of nuclear sewage for the time being. It will take at least three years for radioactive elements to flow into the Adriatic Sea and the Mediterranean Sea. During this period, the seawater will be safe, and

The fresh water crisis is urgent and we need this efficient and low-cost desalination technology."

As he spoke, the old man smiled again: "Besides, I think since Academician Qin and Academician Ning have challenged the issue of solving nuclear sewage, and Professor Edward Witten and Professor Tao Zhexuan have joined the team, within three years

It shouldn’t be a problem to solve this problem, right? According to our statistics, the research projects you led took no more than two years from project establishment to completion..."

The rest of the Italian academicians present nodded in approval:

"It is true. For example, you only participated in the study of the El Niño phenomenon at the beginning of last year, but this year you have been able to achieve world-leading prediction results."

"There is also the 'Yang-Mills equation'. You have only studied it for about two years, and you have completely cracked its mystery."

"The research on the perfect desert sweet potato and a new theoretical system for topological quantum computing also took less than two years."

"We believe in you. You are the 'miracle children' sent by God!"

These Italian academicians spoke English with a strong local accent and obviously did not usually communicate in English, but at this time they all spoke eloquently and expressed their compliments to Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun.

Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun were both dumbfounded. Whether it was blind optimism or deliberately saying good things to get closer to each other in order to obtain the patented technology of "Ling Lemon Technology New Energy and Water Desalination and Purification Integrated Technology Solution", it was a bit Hamil.

Dean Ton is on to the point - the fresh water crisis is a matter of life and death for Italy. In comparison, the threat of radioactive elements, even if it is harmful, but at least not fatal, is placed in a very secondary position.

.

Dean Hamilton added: "Academician Qin, we can discuss the price of this patented technology. We can even completely use Xia Guo's equipment, as long as the final fresh water cost does not exceed our current tap water price."

The price of tap water in Italy is not expensive locally, on average it is about 0.8 euros per ton. Of course, it is more expensive when converted to Xia Guo currency, about 6.2 yuan per ton, which is much more expensive than Xia Guo.

Qin Ke originally studied seawater desalination technology, and his initial goal was to achieve a cost lower than the price of tap water in the Xiaguo market. The current "Qingmen Technology New Energy and Water Desalination Purification Integrated Technology Solution" can barely meet this standard.

But there is still a lot of room for optimization. Qin Ke’s ultimate goal is that the price of fresh water supplied after seawater desalination and purification is equivalent to at most 80% of the first-tier tap water price.

Therefore, in order to meet Dean Hamilton's "requirements", Qin Ke's "Ling Lemon Technology New Energy and Water Desalination Purification Integrated Technology Solution" must significantly increase the price of patent authorization - after all, in China,

Domestic water companies only charge a cabbage price of RMB 10 million per year for licensing fees. It is difficult to meet the requirement that "the cost of fresh water is the same as the price of tap water in Italy" without a significant price increase.

Of course, if we take into account that promoting this patented technology across Italy and using all Xia Guo's equipment will require a lot of import costs, the increase in patent licensing price will not be that high. Qin Ke estimates that the price will be 100 million

The euro may fluctuate a little over the year, depending on the ability of the Lime Technology negotiation team.

It is definitely a good thing for the national enterprises of Xia State, as they have opened up a big market without any bloodshed.

Qin Ke estimates that there are definitely many European countries in a situation like Italy. It is really a good opportunity for Xia's national enterprises to easily enter or even occupy the European market.

"No problem." So Qin Ke said readily: "I will arrange Qing Ning Technology to negotiate with you for all matters related to this patent authorization. In view of this 'Ling Ning Technology new energy and water desalination and purification integrated technology solution' still has

It has not been officially piloted on the coast. I will ask my research team to lead the team to follow up the first seawater desalination plant. The entire project can be completed and put into operation by May next year at the latest. The target is an annual water supply of 3 billion cubic meters.

As long as there are no problems with the first desalination plant, it will be much easier to replicate it in other places in Italy."

Dean Hamilton was overjoyed. In fact, he was most concerned about the quantity and cost of water supply. He was not too worried about the quality of purified seawater. Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun had excellent scientific research reputations in the world, and the research they had launched

As a result, there were no problems, not to mention that the water quality report of the Qinghai Lake Freshwater Plant had already spread all over the Internet.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Now that Qin Ke has promised the price of water leaving the factory and the annual water supply of a desalination plant reaching 3 billion cubic meters, he is very satisfied.

After all, the average annual water consumption in Italy is only about 9.5 billion cubic meters.

As long as there is an increase of 3 billion cubic meters of fresh water supply before next summer, we should be able to survive even a more severe drought. And as Qin Ke said, as long as the first one is built, the second and third ones will be ready.

It will be built faster. Once the three desalination plants are built, Italy can straighten its back and say byebye to the "fresh water crisis"!

——Even if three buildings are not enough, then build four!

After negotiating the cooperation, Qin Ke also said that if there were technical problems during the construction of the factory and the team he sent could not solve them, he and Ning Qingyun could fly over in person to help solve them. This completely made Hamilton feel uncomfortable.

The dean put down his worries.

The generous Dean Hamilton hosted a banquet to warmly entertain Qin Ke and Qin Ke. This time, there were many important figures attending the banquet. Even the Speaker of the Italian Parliament and other top figures in politics, business and academia attended the banquet.

He praised Qin Ke and his wife as "Italy's best friends" and "the most proud academicians of our Academy of Sciences", and took a photo with them.

Before the banquet ended, the news that "Academician Qin Ke and Academician Ning Qingjun from Xia State will provide unreserved technical assistance to our country to solve the problem of tight fresh water resources" spread throughout Italy through the media.

The people of Dali burst into cheers.

For a time, the names of "Qin Ke" and "Ning Qingyun" were known to everyone in Dali, Italy. Many cities in Italy even had the "Xia Guo Cultural Style".

After two days of rest, Qin Ke took Ning Qingyun and two babies, the confinement nanny, and arrived in Turin on a special train. Countless citizens came to welcome him spontaneously, causing the city's traffic to be interrupted for a time due to congestion.

You must know that Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun haven't done anything yet, they haven't even signed a cooperation agreement, they just reached a verbal commitment...

It has to be said that Europeans are born optimists - well, the good positive impression of Qin Ke and his wife in the past is also very important.
