I really just want to be a scholar

"It's starting to rain heavily again."

In the classroom of Qiuzhen Academy of Qingmu University, the students could not sit still and began to whisper.It was just light rain in the morning, so classes were not suspended today, but unexpectedly, less than 30 minutes before school ended at noon, the light rain in the morning turned into a violent storm.

Ning Qingyun, who was lecturing undergraduates, also stopped and looked at the dark sky and the pouring rain outside, her beautiful eyebrows furrowed in worry.

Even though such severe and extreme weather had been predicted, the howling wind mixed with heavy raindrops hit the glass window hard, and the dense collision sound was so urgent that it made people upset, and it was like a howling ghost. The sound of the wind made people panic again.

Facing such ruthless power of nature, human beings will always feel that they are so small and helpless.

Ning Qingyun also remembered that several smaller trees near the teaching school had tilted. She wondered whether they could survive the storm.
Fortunately, today is April 4th, and the end of this bad rainstorm is not far away.

Qin Ke saw some commotion among the students, so he walked up to the podium and clapped his hands gently: "Okay, everyone, don't worry, it is safer to stay in the classroom. Students sitting by the windows, please check whether the windows are properly locked." good……"

Before he finished speaking, there was suddenly a clear and loud "bang" sound, followed by a large number of exclamations, and even the sound of wind and rain became clear and wild.

A piece of glass that turned out to be a classroom window happened to be hit by half of a tree branch picked up by the strong wind outside, breaking a big hole and startling the students around.

Fortunately, the windows were made of tempered glass, and the broken glass just turned into beads and fell down, splashing all over the floor. The students were not seriously injured, but it would inevitably cause panic and confusion.

The window was closer to the podium. Seeing a student tripping over a chair because he was fleeing in panic, Qin Ke made a quick decision and shouted loudly: "Everyone, stay where you are and don't move!"

He was physically strong and full of energy, and his prestige was there. As soon as he drank it, the students immediately stood still and did not dare to move. Even if the students near the broken window were wetted by the wind and rain, they did not dare to move. step.

Qin Ke secretly breathed a sigh of relief, rushed over, helped the two students who fell down and moved them away, allowing the students by the window to disperse in an orderly manner to avoid the wind and rain, and let the students with wet clothes go to the second floor to rest. Wipe the room with towels and dry the clothes in a clothes dryer.The heating can be turned on in the lounge, so there is no need to worry about these students catching a cold.

Wei Feng and Wei Jing, who were waiting nearby, rushed in immediately after hearing the sound. Wei Jing protected Ning Qingyun, while Wei Feng and Qin Ke removed the large whiteboard used for teaching and blocked it from breaking in the window. He pushed two more tables to hold them up, and finally the violent storm blocked the outside, preventing further damage to the classroom.

This emergency was handled properly. Although a small number of students' textbooks and notes were inevitably "in the water", basically no students were injured, which is a blessing among misfortunes.

The school was naturally responsible for repairing the windows. Qin Ke asked the teaching assistant Chen Ya to contact Qiuzhen Academy to temporarily change the classroom. However, after experiencing such a small chaos, no one had much intention to continue the class.

Many students whispered to each other, praising Academician Qin's response just now.

A girl said with lingering fear: "I used to think that Academician Qin was very knowledgeable and had a good attitude towards life. I didn't expect him to be so calm and responsive when encountering problems. At that time, I was so frightened that I just wanted to run away. I didn't even think about other things." …”

Another student nodded in approval and praised: "Yes, if Academician Qin hadn't stayed calm in the face of danger and decisively ordered everyone to stay where they were, the two students who fell would have been trampled by the chaotic crowd."

"The response after the incident was very appropriate. The boys in the class didn't know what to do. Academician Qin decisively led people to remove the whiteboard used for teaching and sealed the windows. This action was really impressive."

"I found that Academician Qin has a lot to learn from."

As the saying goes, the truth is revealed in the details. The students who originally admired Qin Ke had their admiration deepened even more after such a small incident.

When Qin Ke brought Ning Qingyun to the new classroom, and when the students saw that Qin Ke's hair and shirt were still slightly wet, they all spontaneously applauded, and soon thunderous applause filled the classroom.

"Academician Qin, you were so handsome just now!"

"Academician Qin, you are the best!"

"Academician Qin, you will always be our idol!"

The enthusiastic reaction of the students surprised Qin Ke. He waited for the applause to subside before smiling and saying:
"Okay, okay, don't worry about small things. I am a teacher and you are students. Protecting and taking good care of students is our first responsibility as teachers. In addition, I would like to inform everyone that Qingyun just spoke for everyone and the school. We have communicated with the border. In view of the current heavy rain, in order to ensure safety, everyone should not leave the teaching building at noon. As for lunch, the school cafeteria will pack lunches and arrange vehicles to deliver them downstairs. The boys will help carry them up. , one box per person, no need to spend money, the school will pay for it from the special education activity funds. Later, the class monitor will count the number of students, including the number of students who stayed in the dormitory and failed to come to class for some reason, and report them to Assistant Chen Ya."

The students cheered again: "Wow, long live Academician Qin and Academician Ning!"

"You can actually get free meals without leaving home. It's so thoughtful. I am worthy of Academician Ning."

The students were really touched. They didn't even think about the lunch problem. The two academicians in front of them had already thought of it and solved it in advance. I have to say that this kind of care and concern is really heart-warming, and also A seed called "teacher's morality" was planted in the students' hearts.

——Many years later, they have forgotten many people and things during their student days, but on a rainy day like today, Academician Qin’s words, “Protecting and taking good care of students is our first responsibility as teachers”, and this The free lunch still remains deeply in their memory, subtly affecting their attitude towards students who have become professors or teachers...

Qin Ke smiled again and pressed his hands down to signal everyone to be quiet.

"You're welcome, today's preferential treatment is not just for our Qiuzhen Academy, but all teachers and students of the school can enjoy it. When everyone goes to get lunch later, don't forget to say thank you to the chefs who braved the wind and rain to drive to deliver meals to everyone. Don’t forget the care the school has for its students.”

The students responded enthusiastically: "I will definitely never forget it!"

Seeing that it was not long before the end of get out of class, the students were distracted and inattentive to the lecture. Qin Ke decided not to give lectures anymore. He pulled up a chair, sat among the students with Ning Qingyun, and chatted with them at close range.This kind of "night talk around the fire" atmosphere is very popular among the students. The students' spirits are also relaxed and they no longer worry about the wind and rain outside.One student curiously asked: "Academician Qin, have extreme weather events become more and more frequent in recent years? There seemed to be heavy rains in the past, but they were not so exaggerated. Since the beginning of April, there have been heavy rains and light rains one after another, and it has continued until It's the end of April now, and it rains almost non-stop. We don't even see a second of sunshine."

The students agreed one after another.

Qin Ke said calmly: "Yes, there are indeed some problems with global climate phenomena recently. Our team and the European Meteorological Center team are working together to study the root causes of these problems. There has not been much progress yet, but we are very I am confident that these problems will be solved.”

He has stated similar views publicly many times and is not afraid to repeat them in front of students.

Another student said excitedly: "I heard that this continuous heavy rain did not cause serious damage to our country in Xia. The main reason is that we made preparations in advance and dealt with it properly during the period. Many people on the Internet said that you two, Academician Qin and Academician Ning, He is the number one contributor."

Qin Ke shook his head and said seriously: "Without the tens of thousands of flood control and rescue personnel who braved the storm and rushed to the front line, how could they have responded properly? For example, for free lunches like today, an emergency plan has been established in advance, but There has never been a time to activate an emergency plan before. This is a good example. Without the active cooperation and joint efforts of people from all over the country, the disaster situation would not have been so well controlled. Qingyun and I didn't have time to come. I’ve taught you a lesson.”

Qin Ke was speaking from his heart. The continuous heavy rainfall has brought various additional disasters and brought great inconvenience to work and life in various places. However, departments at all levels worked all night to respond, and countless people rushed to the rescue. We worked hard to help the affected people, and the people also sincerely helped each other and worked together to tide over the difficulties. In the end, this large-scale and long-term extreme rain weather did not cause serious losses to Xia State.

Of course, netizens are right, natural disasters are inevitable, but whether there is early warning and response makes a much bigger difference.

Beginning on April 4, when heavy rain fell, TV news, radio, and the Internet served as guides for disaster prevention and response. Many primary and secondary schools notified in advance that they would switch to online classes, and the order of the city was not greatly affected. In most areas, The embankments were also reinforced in advance, and almost no embankment breaches occurred, which was like a miracle.

The water storage reservoirs that have been vigorously constructed and renovated in various places also play a key role. They not only store a large amount of fresh water resources to cope with the dry weather in summer, but also greatly alleviate flood peaks and reduce flood disasters.

In addition, the influence of Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun among the people cannot be ignored. Countless people, especially young people, will respond so actively to this extreme climate disaster. The inspirational effect of idols is undoubtedly huge.

Therefore, when the National Meteorological Center released the latest news in early May, it did not forget to express its thanks:
"As predicted by the team of Academician Qin Ke and Academician Ning Qingjun, the technical general consultant of the Xiaguo Extreme Climate Disaster Response Command Center, most of the rainfall in the country will end today, and no later than the day after tomorrow! After nearly a month, Thank you all for your hard work during the rainy days! The disaster losses reported back from various places are within controllable limits, far better than imagined! Thank you to Academician Qin, thank you to Academician Ning, thank you to all researchers, and thank you to the disaster prevention efforts in various places To the response staff, thank you to everyone who actively cooperates in responding to extreme weather disasters! We believe that as long as everyone continues to work together, there is no natural disaster that cannot be dealt with!"

Along with this news, the sun shines through the clouds again!

There was a sound of joy all over the country, and countless people walked out of their homes, enjoying this moment of long-lost sunshine and enjoying this moment of long-lost beauty!

On the Internet, excited comments have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. #rainydayisfinallyover# and # Salute to the Two Great Academicians# were on the hot search list at the same time!

……

Not only Xia Kingdom, but also various European countries have carried out preparations in advance, and their response is quite qualified. Although the damage is more serious than that of Xia Kingdom, it is still within the tolerable range. The European Meteorological Center and Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun Because of this accurate prediction this year, it has gained a huge reputation, and even the always picky media has received overwhelming praise.

The seawater desalination plant pilot projects carried out by Lime Technology in Italy, Germany, Eagle Country and other countries have become smoother as a result, and the public generally supports and approves them.

Qin Ke and Qin Ke were far away in the Xia Kingdom and did not really feel the warm praises from the European people. However, the European Meteorological Center headquarters is located in London, and the scientific researchers and staff working there were very relieved. Every day there were People and social groups came to praise, express their thanks and send flowers, making everyone at the European Meteorological Center walk with their heads high and high spirits.

Of course, they have not forgotten who the real hero is. They are fully convinced of the in-depth and comprehensive cooperation with Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun and even accept their technical guidance without any objections.

In stark contrast to Xia Guo and European countries, is the American Meteorological Center.

Because the American Meteorological Center did not reach any climate research cooperation relationship with the Fluid Mechanics Laboratory of Qingmu University in the end, they could only carry out national disaster prevention and response work based on Qin Ke's friendly reminder email.

However, because it is impossible to determine the key points of disaster prevention, nor to determine how long the rainfall will last, the extent of the rainfall, and the amount of rainfall, these early response measures become "aimed at nothing" and become mere formalities. When the "Black Rainstorm of April" arrived, the United States suffered extremely serious losses. Major river basins were particularly severely affected. Many food crops and cash crops were submerged, and roads were washed away... The economic losses alone were astronomical.

As the saying goes, there is no harm without comparison. People in China and other European countries are rejoicing because they successfully survived the heavy rain disaster in April. However, many people in the United States can only face the catwalks after the disaster. Even with the Fluid Mechanics Experiment of Qingmu University The Goose Country, which has reached a limited "strategic partnership" relationship with the United States, has been less affected by the disaster than the United States!

Public sentiment was raging for a while, and the National Meteorological Center was almost sprayed into a sieve by countless spit nails. The staff inside had to lower their heads and hurry to work to avoid the "bloody" experience after being recognized.

Later, the director of the American Meteorological Center, Sisma Paulson, had to take the blame and resign, along with more than a dozen meteorologists, in order to quell public resentment and condemnation.These are all things for later, so I won’t go into details for now.

……

On May 5, the sun was shining brightly, and the Wolf Prize Award Ceremony, which had to be postponed due to heavy rain, was finally held.

Xia Guo’s branch venue in the capital is located in the auditorium of Qingmu University. This auditorium is now famous all over the world because it has been four millennia since it solved the Goldbach conjecture, Riemann conjecture, NS equation and Yang-Mills equation. Formal academic reports on mathematical problems are held here.

Now it has once again attracted the attention of the world because of the "Wolf Prize Award Ceremony".

For the first time in its history, the "Wolf Prize Awards Ceremony" has set up branch venues in other countries.In order to show attention, Ms. Sima Noah, the chairman of the Wolf Foundation, personally came to the Xiaguo branch to host the award ceremony, and invited several highly respected old mathematicians and old physicists to come and present the awards.

Among them are Mr. Peter Higgs, a physicist from Eagle Country and Nobel Prize winner, who is famous for the Higgs mechanism and the Higgs particle. He is 94 years old this year; a mathematical physicist from Eagle Country and Nobel Prize winner. The winner, Mr. Roger Penrose, who is as famous as Stephen Hawking in general relativity and cosmology, is 92 years old - yes, this Mr. Roger Penrose is Stephen Hawking in "Time" One of the "main collaborators" mentioned in the "Thanks Page" of "A Brief History".

Being able to invite these older generation scholars who have almost no contact with the world to present awards shows the sincerity of the Wolf Foundation, and also shows the high international status of Qin Ke and Ning Qingjun at this time. (End of chapter)
