The passionate years starting from the college entrance examination

Chapter 369, Spring of (please vote)

February 14, 1972, Lunar New Year's Eve.

In Cuihua Hutong, Beijing, in front of Chen's house, Chen Wei, Chen Si, and Chen Xi stood together, looking towards the alley from time to time, hoping to see a car.

Because today is New Year's Eve, everyone has a holiday, but their father hasn't come home yet.

"Dad is a big liar. He also said that today is a holiday. It's already 4:30 in the afternoon and he still hasn't come home. We are about to have New Year's Eve dinner."

Chen Xi, who is six years old, is still very cute and beautiful when she pouts.

But what she complained about her father was met with dissatisfaction and refutation by her eldest sister:

"Sister, you can't say that about dad. Dad works very hard. It's okay if you don't understand. If you still say these things here, be careful about mom spanking you."

Little Chen Xi was even more unhappy, but she couldn't refute her sister, so she could only flatten her mouth and feel unhappy and secretly angry.

At this moment, Chen An suddenly ran from the box to the door of his house, shouting loudly to his brothers and sisters as he ran:
"Dad is back."

Although he and his sister Chen Xi are twins, he is more naughty and mischievous.

Chen Wei, who used to be quite naughty, has gradually become quieter and more stable as he has grown up, with a rather big brother demeanor.

Following his voice, the three brothers and sisters Chen Wei became excited.

And behind Chen An, a car soon appeared. The children all knew it was their father's car, so they cheered even more happily.

The car, which was still running normally, had to stop because it was blocked by these little kids.

Today is New Year's Eve, and Chen Guohua was originally on vacation, but because of the good news coming from the research institute, he still couldn't worry about it, so he ran back and worked hard for a long time before going home.

After getting off the bus, Chen Guohua looked at the four children and felt even happier.

"Brother, you are back too? It's great."

Not long after Chen Guohua got out of the car, Chen Yuanchao also got out of the car. This made Chen Wei and the other children extremely excited, especially the two brothers Chen Xiangqian and his younger brother Chen Xiangke, who screamed out loud .

Chen Xiangke was born in 1969 and is three years old this year.

Although Chen Yuanchao, the eldest nephew, is often busy working abroad, he can still go back to the capital for vacation occasionally.

Especially in 1969, Chen Yuanchao brought back Christopher, the head of Pan Am Airways from abroad, who directly ordered 28 Zhenhua 18-type passenger aircraft from the mainland.

From now on, it will be more convenient for Chen Yuanchao to return to the mainland.

As long as it is normal business dealings, Chen Yuanchao can directly return to Hong Kong Island or the capital for communication.

With this excuse, Chen Yuanchao could naturally come back to see his wife and children from time to time.

The excitement at the door of the house soon attracted the attention of everyone in the yard.

Lao Chen, Yun Wanshang, Chen Xiaomei and Chen Xiaomin all came out, leaving Yu Moli, Hu Pinggu and Dong Jingxue busy in the kitchen.

During the National Day last year, Chen Gonglu suffered from rectal cancer.

However, because he was discovered early and treated at the small hospital of Zhenhua Research Institute, he was successfully cured and discharged within two months.

In this process, Yu Moli also contributed a lot. Of course, she played more support.

Chinese medicine emphasizes conditioning. In terms of quick curative effect, for this kind of disease, you still have to rely on other doctors with better medical skills.

The small hospital has very advanced modern medical equipment, as well as many auxiliary drugs that can treat rectal cancer, so Chen Gonglu was able to recover in just two months.

His condition is quite different from the rectal cancer that Duan Xuefu, head of the Department of Mathematics at Peking University, suffered from.

Duan Xuefu's condition was more serious, but he could have recovered through resection in the summer of 1959, let alone the 1970s when medical technology was more advanced?
Duan Xuefu could live beyond the millennium, and lived a total of ninety-one years, so Chen Gonglu should also be able to live that long.

As for the twenty-two-year-old Chen Xiaomei, she was originally planning to get married, but her husband was sent to prison because of other matters.

After learning that the other party participated in those things and had something to do with the Siberian cold wind, Chen Guohua immediately asked Chen Xiaomei to draw a clear line with the other party.

Good guy, if you don't seek death, you won't die.

Therefore, Chen Guohua would rather his sister marry later and become an older leftover, rather than fall into an endless miserable life.

The youngest, Chen Xiaomin, is also 19 years old this year. She already has a partner, but she is not married yet and will not get married until next year.

Among the three sisters, Chen Xiaoyue is currently living the best life.

Because after she married Lu Jiaxi, she became a full-time mother and gave birth to three children, all of whom she raised by herself.

Lu Jiaxi's salary is nearly one hundred yuan, plus income from manuscript royalties from time to time, so their family is living well.

She returns to Cuihua Hutong from time to time, so Chen Xiaoyue's life is definitely the best among the three sisters.

Of course, Chen Xiaomin is about to get married. Her partner is from the Fifth Academy, and her position is a rocket engine researcher.

Based on her partner's income and family situation, Chen Xiaomin might actually live a better life than her eldest sister in the future.

Time flies so fast, and the three sisters have all gotten married one after another or have reached the right age to get married.

The entrance to the courtyard was bustling for a while, and the New Year’s Eve dinner was coming soon.

At around five o'clock, Hu Pinggu and the others prepared a large New Year's Eve dinner, and the whole family sat together to enjoy this rare moment of reunion.

In fact, Chen Guohua's family should have lived alone a long time ago.

It's just that Chen Yuanchao went to the south again, and the family also lived together. In addition, two elderly people, Chen and Yun Wanshang, were needed to help take care of the children on weekdays, so the separation of the family was not mentioned.

Chen Guohua and Yu Moli are also often busy with their own work. Many times, Chen Wei and his four children rely on Aunt Hu Ping and others for help.

Hu Pinggu is the director of the subdistrict office. She is not so busy at work and has relatively more freedom.

As for Dong Jingxue, she is purely taking care of her children at home full-time and does not work outside.

The whole family is very kind to Dong Jingxue, and she doesn't feel wronged. Not to mention that her parents live on Nanchizi Street, which is quite close. There is no difference between being married and not being married, because she lives almost every day. They all go back to their parents’ homes.

Therefore, under such circumstances, once Chen Guohua's family is separated, good guys, Chen Wei and his four children may have to cook for themselves.

Otherwise, if Chen Guohua and Yu Moli cook for them, they will probably go hungry.

The lively New Year's Eve dinner passed quickly. In the study at night, uncles and nephews Chen Guohua and Chen Yuanchao sat together again and started chatting.

It's not really about the eldest nephew reporting on work, it's just about chatting.

"Uncle, you don't know now. The Internet in North America is really powerful. That Mars forum is so popular."

In the study, Chen Yuanchao danced his hands excitedly, as if he was going to perform for his brother-in-law.

The rise of the Internet in North America has been unstoppable, and it can be said that it comes naturally.

First, the notebook computers PowerBook and desktop computers launched by Apple have become the most popular in the US electronics market. Even China Resources' Huashuo Computer is slightly behind in terms of sales.

As for other computer companies such as IBM, they only occupy 10% of the remaining market share.

Currently, the number of computer users in the entire North American market has definitely exceeded 30 million, while the number of Internet users has exceeded 7 million.

It can be seen from this data that the growth rate of computer users in North America is actually very exaggerated.

A few years ago, although the price of Huashuo Computer had been reduced, not many people bought it.

Unlike this time, Apple's sales have exceeded 10 million units in just a few months, less than half a year. This data is still very scary.

Therefore, Apple has increased the number of computer users in North America by one-third in less than half a year, which is naturally very impressive.

The second is the single-mode optical fiber launched by China Resources. The current shipment volume has exceeded 300 million kilometers, and more than half of it has been bought by big capitalists in North America.

In addition to single-mode optical fiber, there are also related ancillary equipment for optical fiber Internet access, which have also been exported with more than one billion US dollars.

Overall, although this business is not very profitable, it is definitely very profitable.

Of course, Internet communications companies headed by big capitalists like Lannister Morgan do make a large part of their profits, but Internet software companies are actually the bulk of the profits.

Moreover, the upstream hardware-level technologies such as computers and fiber optics are all from the mainland, and the downstream software companies are also white-glove companies from the mainland.

So, looking at it this way, in fact, big capitalists like Lannister Morgan have made profits from the intermediary network communications.

However, all this is only temporary, and other situations will definitely occur later. It depends on whether Chen Guohua can take advantage of the situation.

Third, the early 1970s was actually an excellent period for the development of the Internet.

Not to mention the anti-war demonstrations that caused a stir in Haizhou City at this time, let's talk about the general election that has already begun, the rebellious generation of young people, and other large and small things under the economic crisis.

All of this provides a lot of nutrients for the development of the Internet.

Simply put, they all need a channel to vent their voices.

Otherwise, Apple portal website, Mars Forum, Universal music player software, WeTalk chat software, etc. will soon become the most popular software or websites on the Internet.

The activity of these websites or software is amazing.

For example, for a chat topic about music, they were able to get more than 10,000 comments in a very fast time.

You know, this is the barbaric era of the Internet. These netizens are all super first-generation netizens. As a result, each of them has a very strong desire to express themselves.

It seems that I was quickly attracted by the novelty of the Internet and became addicted to it.

And among these millions of Internet users, the vast majority are between the ages of sixteen, seventeen and thirty. This is a group that is very receptive to new things.

What's more, the Internet is a magical place. Everyone is so talented and their comments are interesting. You may even become famous accidentally. Who doesn't like that?

"Uncle, when will our Qianduoduo Supermarket launch this online mall?"

After talking about the current situation of the Internet in North America, Chen Yuanchao asked impatiently.

Since the establishment of Qianduoduo Supermarket in 1966, after so many years of development, the number of Qianduoduo Supermarket stores has exceeded 700.

However, there are a lot of stores, but in fact, up to now, they are still not making money.

Simply because a lot of money needs to be invested every year to open new stores and expand market share.

Although each of the current stores that have been completed and opened has actually quickly achieved profitability, the costs have not yet been recovered, and profits must continue to be invested in new stores or the acquisition of farm land.

Therefore, adding new income channels has always been Chen Yuanchao's idea.

Qianduoduo Supermarket has already done a good job in cost control. It is difficult to reduce costs while ensuring quality.

Therefore, there must be new income-generating channels.

Chen Yuanchao is already a qualified and excellent manager who can think about problems from the perspective of business management, even a little too exhaustive.

"If the time is right, you can see it yourself without me having to tell you." Chen Guohua said with a smile:

"The Internet is developing very fast, and there are many opportunities to make money, but it is still a rough period, and many companies are in the early stages of development, such as the Mars Forum, WeTalk chat software, Universal Music Player, and Apple you just mentioned News portals, etc., they are only in the early stages of development, and many have not yet developed.”

"If Qianduoduo Supermarket wants to intervene, it is not impossible, but it requires a certain amount of investment, and it may be in vain."

Hearing this, Chen Yuanchao was very excited:
"Uncle, if you were here, how could it be possible that everything would be in vain?"

"You want to get some ideas from me again?"

After laughing and chatting for a while, Chen Guohua still provided a simple suggestion. Whether he can do it well or not depends entirely on Chen Yuanchao himself.

Of course, as the general manager of Qian Duoduo Supermarket, Chen Yuanchao wants to follow the trend and show his strength in the emerging industry of the Internet, but I am afraid it will not be that easy.

Although shareholders such as Lannister Morgan do not hold many shares, and more than 70% of the shares are still held in mainland China, the leaders above may not allow him to open new projects at will.

However, if Chen Guohua spoke, it would definitely be different.

In the subsequent chat between the uncle and nephew, Chen Yuanchao was mostly introducing the situation in North America, while Chen Guohua was listening carefully.

As the world's largest economy, North America's economy is at its peak and full of vitality.

Just like Costco Supermarket, even if it is a membership-based supermarket, Costco Supermarket is still the second largest giant in revenue and profit in the North American retail industry.

The number one spot is naturally Qianduoduo Supermarket, there is no doubt about this.

Although both companies are the same, they have not yet truly achieved profitability. After all, they are still in the process of rapid expansion and rapid development to seize the market.

Costco Supermarket has developed most rapidly overseas, especially in Europe, where the number of stores now exceeds 200.

Previously, the Medici family in Europe wanted to seize food from the tiger's mouth and resorted to many small tricks, but they were still resolved one by one by the mainland.

In the past two years, Costco Supermarket received a total of US$5.7 billion in its second round of financing.

Although this amount of money is not very large, it allows Costco Supermarket to quickly expand dozens of stores.

The rapid expansion of stores also means that Costco Supermarket can increase a lot of revenue.

The European region is currently the second largest economy in the world, and the new stores will soon become profitable.

Although on paper, there is no so-called profit, the reason why Costco Supermarket can develop so rapidly is because it makes money.

In fact, it stands to reason that Chen Yuanchao is not responsible for the management of Costco Supermarket, and he should not know much about Costco Supermarket.

But no matter what, Costco Supermarket is also in the retail industry, and it is a competitor.

It is said that if you know yourself and your enemy, you will win every battle, so there is nothing wrong with knowing some information about your competitors.

In addition to Costco supermarkets, there are also Washington supermarkets. The development of white glove companies in Europe and the United States is indeed very good.

Although Chen Guohua does not pay attention very often, he will pay attention to the situation of these companies from time to time.

Especially in terms of confidentiality, the identity of the shareholders behind it must be hidden.

That is to say, on the surface, the shareholders are just a superficial layer, and it will not be easy for people to find out that there are other shareholders behind the scenes.

If anyone wants to investigate carefully, they will inevitably be stopped. In this regard, the intelligence department of China Resources Corporation is needed to help.

Otherwise, if these thoughtful people really want to break the casserole and get to the bottom of it, it is really possible to find out that the mainland is the real shareholder behind it.

This is absolutely not allowed.

Therefore, after they investigate that the registration place is in the Cayman Islands and other places, they will find that they cannot continue the investigation.

After all, the information on the Cayman Islands has been transferred and locked, and no one knows where it has gone.

Or maybe there was a fire in a financial company on the archipelago, and all the information was burned.

In this case, the real shareholders behind it will not be able to be investigated.

In short, in today's era of underdeveloped information, it is undoubtedly very difficult to investigate some information from 1966 or even earlier in 1972 today.

What needs to be done on the mainland is that the identities of shareholders cannot be exposed, and that the pseudo-shareholders will not cause trouble because of it. There are a lot of things that need to be busy behind the scenes.

For Chen Guohua, with the support from the mainland, these are actually minor problems.

Especially when white glove companies have taken root in Europe and the United States and begun to develop rapidly, the possibility of being discovered is already very low.

Of course, whether it is Chen Yuanchao or Zheng Zhigui, they need to return to the capital from time to time to find out whether any of them may have changed their minds. People are products of a certain social environment.

People like Chen Yuanchao and Zheng Zhigui often spend time in Europe and the United States, which are very economically developed regions. It is actually normal for their ideas to be impacted and change, and to hide them so deeply that they are not noticed.

It is not impossible that they themselves would like to stay in North America forever, regard the enterprises they manage and operate as their own industry, and want to completely take it as their own.

Human nature is greedy, this is the bad nature of human beings, it cannot be changed, and it cannot be changed.

Therefore, it is actually very important to ensure that Chen Yuanchao and Zheng Zhigui’s thoughts will not change.

Chen Yuanchao, born in 1949, is already twenty-three years old this year.

In North America, Chen Yuanchao is not married yet. He became famous at a young age, but he is still unmarried. This cannot be justified no matter what.

If the mainland hadn't sent a few beautiful lesbians to act with him, he might have become a gangster.

Therefore, in the eyes of the outside world, Chen Yuanchao is a playboy.

It is normal for a playboy to be surrounded by many beautiful women and not to get married.

After chatting with his eldest nephew for a long time, Chen Guohua took the initiative to end today's chat.

Things in North America still need to continue.

It is now 1972, and time flies by very quickly, so Chen Yuanchao's next task will be even more important.

The Spring Festival passed quickly, and it was already March in the blink of an eye.

After entering March, before Chen Guohua started busy with the Nantianmen Space Station, Xue Jinquan, Lu Zijing, Zhang Jichuan, Dong Jianchang and others came to see Chen Guohua.

This should be good news at the beginning of the new year: the extreme ultraviolet lithography machine project has successfully passed all tests, and after testing, it can already produce three-nanometer chips.

Three nanometer chips, what a crazy thing this is!

And three nanometers is not the end, because various technical adjustments can be made in the future. It is not impossible to produce one nanometer or even smaller chips in the future.

"Okay, okay, you did a great job!"

After hearing the news, Chen Guohua was also very happy.

In fact, he already knew that Zhang Jichuan and the others had started the final testing process a year ago. Chen Guohua originally thought that they might encounter some problems or troubles during this process.

But I didn't expect to pass all the tests so smoothly.

"It has been seven years since the project was established in January 1965. You have also completed an unprecedented technological breakthrough. Congratulations."

After seven years, the extreme ultraviolet lithography machine project has finally come to a perfect end.

Zhang Jichuan, Xue Jinquan, and Lu Zijing were all excited when they heard this, and they jumped up and down with joy.

Xue Jinquan even hugged Chen Guohua, greeted the others, and then threw Chen Guohua up.

This frightened Marquis Long Kang and others outside the office, and they quickly ran in to prevent any accidents.

You must know that Chen Guohua is the number one person in the mainland's scientific community. His body cannot be harmed in any way. Otherwise, if the superiors accuse him, Long Kanghou and others will not be able to eat and walk around.

After the excitement, Chen Guohua stood in front of everyone again, asked them to sit down, and then prepared for the celebration banquet.

As a result, Zhao Jusheng couldn't wait to speak:
"Old Chen, we can talk about the celebration party later. I just want to know now, when can we establish the quantum chip project?"

"You know, I have been waiting for several years. At that time, you said that we had to complete the extreme ultraviolet lithography machine project. Now that we have completed this project, can we start the quantum chip project now?"

Since 1968, Zhao Jusheng has been eyeing the quantum chip project.

Simply because at that time Chen Guohua had already completed two top mathematical problems, Fermat's Last Theorem and Riemann's Hypothesis, and had mentioned quantum mechanics and, by extension, quantum chips.

Quantum chips, as the most cutting-edge technology at present, have always been just theoretical assumptions.

Even the theory has not been perfected, let alone establishing a quantum chip project.

"Yes, yes, Lao Chen, we don't have any tasks next. I also think this quantum chip project is very good and very suitable for us. How about you take some time to help us solve the technical problems at the theoretical level? Leave the rest to us?"

Wan Fusen, Qian Yuanxing, Zhang Jichuan and others all looked at Chen Guohua expectantly. They were all like sharks that had seen blood, very hungry and eager to pounce on him immediately.

When Chen Guohua heard this, he looked at Zhao Jusheng and Xue Jinquan in front of him, smiled slightly, and said:
"I really want to start the project right away, but you can't."

"The extreme ultraviolet lithography machine project still has a lot of finishing work. When you can produce chips below one nanometer, you can talk to me about quantum chips again."

"In 1968, I told you that the extreme ultraviolet lithography machine is the project that I value most. You have now completed this technology, but there is still some time before it can become a mass-produced lithography machine. What’s the distance?”

"Besides, you are very powerful now, but there are still many people who don't know how to produce extreme ultraviolet lithography machines, as well as some subsequent related technologies, which require a lot of talent."

"If I start a new quantum chip project at this time, to be honest, even if I can be busy, you can't be busy, so people should act within their capabilities."

After some persuasion, Chen Guohua didn't bother to tell them anything more about quantum chips. He simply congratulated them and then sent them away.

If you don’t even pay attention to the celebration party, what else should you pay attention to?

While pouting, Chen Guohua also thought this was quite funny.

People in this era are still very pure, especially those who engage in scientific research. They are the most pure and simple.

My only focus is on scientific research, but there are not so many twists and turns.

To be honest, if there were not too many things on hand, and the finishing work of the extreme ultraviolet lithography machine project has not been completed, otherwise, Chen Guohua would really set up the quantum chip project.

As the saying goes, one step is slow and one step is slow.

North America is now completely behind the mainland in the field of computer technology.

Especially after the extreme ultraviolet lithography machine is developed, mainland supercomputers will soon have new breakthroughs.

By that time, in the future aerospace, national defense and other fields, the security level will be raised to the highest level.

Computer technical assistance in aerospace and other related fields is still very, very good. This is also an important reason why the mainland has been able to achieve leaps and bounds in the past few years, advance hand in hand in aerospace and other fields, and catch up with Moscow and Washington. one.

Therefore, no matter how much we attach importance to the development of computers, it cannot be overstated.

But do everything step by step, and you cannot become fat in one bite.

In addition to the extreme ultraviolet lithography machine project, Zhenhua Research Institute has also completed many technological breakthroughs in the past period.

For example, just before New Year's Eve, Chen Guohua was dealing with the technological breakthrough of hydrogen fuel cells for micro drones.

Qi Rongzhi and Gui Zhiting are both experts in battery technology. Chen Guohua, as the main technical person in charge, also attaches great importance to this project.

After the breakthrough in hydrogen fuel cell technology, it is only necessary to complete the other parts of the Dragonfly drone before assembly and testing can be carried out.

Especially now, after the extreme ultraviolet lithography machine project is completed, the second batch of three-nanometer chips produced will be used on Dragonfly drones.

As a micro drone, Chen Guohua will not use any tiny technology.

Microprocessors manufactured with three-nanometer chip technology, and microcomputers equipped with such microprocessors, can allow Dragonfly drones to process flight instructions better and more efficiently and complete more complex calculation commands.

Especially when performing some reconnaissance missions that require a lot of computing power, this more advanced microcomputer can definitely handle it more stably and efficiently.

Therefore, Chen Guohua attaches great importance to the development of these technologies.

In March, when warblers are flying and grass is growing, a sandstorm blows in the capital.

"Dad, I'm so scared. Why is the weather outside like this?"

This morning, the sandstorm came very quickly. Almost in the blink of an eye, the whole capital became dark.

As a result, Chen Guohua was unable to go to work and had to stay at home.

Chen Wei and his other children wanted to go to school, but they all stayed at home with the doors and windows closed.

But Chen Xi looked a little scared when he looked out the window.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. This weather is just like a heavy rain in the south. It suddenly blocks out the sky and the sun."

Before Chen Guohua could speak, Chen Gonglu on the side had already explained and comforted him with a smile.

Nowadays, Lao Chen has opened his eyes a lot and has become very cheerful and cheerful.

"When grandpa was a child, he grew up in the south. During spring and summer, daylight would suddenly turn into night, and heavy rain would pour down."

These mentioned by Chen Gonglu are extremely common climate phenomena in the south.

There is plenty of rain in the south, and heavy rainstorms often occur. One second it is clear and the sky is clear, and the next second it is dark.

The speed of the dark clouds was comparable to a Category 12 tornado.

And this kind of heavy rain is not like rain, but like pouring water.

In less than half an hour, there was already a lot of water on one street.

Once you encounter low-lying areas with poor drainage systems, flooding of streets is also very common.

Therefore, in the south, you can often see people standing on the roof of the second floor waiting for rescue.

When Old Chen said this, the attention of Chen Xi and the other children was quickly diverted. They no longer paid attention to the sandstorm outside, but listened carefully to the stories of the past told by their grandfather.

Chen Guohua and Yu Moli stared outside, their expressions somewhat helpless.

It was supposed to be work time, but I was stuck at home due to a sandstorm and couldn't get out!

In fact, there was already a weather forecast last night, and staff from the Meteorological Bureau had already notified the subdistrict office, and the radio stations had also notified the matter.

But unexpectedly, this sandstorm was crazier than imagined.

Not only was the sky and sun blocked out, but the wind was also very strong.

This is very uncomfortable.

"It seems that after this incident, I will also start planting trees. Otherwise, if I continue to live here in the capital, I will have to experience sandstorms like this several times every year, which is really uncomfortable."

In fact, after traveling to this world for so many years, Chen Guohua experienced several sandstorms almost every year.

But before, he had no intention of thinking about these things, and the previous sandstorms were not so terrifying every year.

The horror of this year's sandstorm should be comparable to, or even greater than, the one in 1956.

At that time, on March 11, 1956, the famous writer Deng Youmei published a sketch of life in the newspaper "In the Storm", vividly describing the strong wind in the capital at that time:

[Not long after they went out, the sky darkened, and the entire universe was covered in yellow sand, making it difficult for people to breathe. 】

[When I went out after making two phone calls, the storm outside was already blowing fiercely, the branches were shaking like crazy, and sand, shavings, sawdust and wood chips were swirling in the sky above the entire construction site. 】

[As soon as I walked to the scene, I heard the sound of the fir pole breaking and the crunching sound of the binding rope being twisted. Someone shouted: "No way, get out of here, the windshield will collapse soon."]

From here we can see how terrifying the strong wind in the capital was at that time.

Sandstorms in the capital have been around for a long time, but 49 years ago, it was a time of war and chaos, and no one would pay attention to them.

Beginning in the early 1950s, the entire population began to plant trees.

After the college entrance examination, Chen Guohua and the others also went to Xiangshan Park to participate in afforestation activities organized by the capital city.

Even this activity has been continued and passed down. Even when the cold Siberian wind passes through, many people still go to the suburbs of the capital to plant trees.

In the original history of time and space, throughout the 1970s, many forestry society experts, writers, etc., either called on everyone to plant trees through relevant newspapers such as the "Beijing Daily", or wrote some popular science articles about sandstorms.

For example, in 1979 in the original time and space, an article titled "Sandstorms Approaching the Capital" sounded the alarm to the world about the dangers of sandstorms in the capital.

Therefore, in the history of the original time and space, the problem of sandstorms in the capital has been rampant and has not been effectively solved at all.

Chen Guohua looked at the sandstorm outside the window, and then he thought about solving this problem.

But, easier said than done?

In the afternoon, taking advantage of the fact that the wind speed outside was not so fast and the visibility was much higher, Chen Guohua set out for Di'anmen Street.

"Leader, in response to the current sandstorm problem in the capital, this is a plan I have drawn up, which can be regarded as a small contribution."

Zhang Jihan respected Chen Guohua very much, and his attitude was so respectful that people thought he was a subordinate, while Chen Guohua was the leader.

So when he saw Chen Guohua's plan, he agreed without a second thought.

In fact, this plan does not have much technological content. It is just a plan about the dangers of sandstorms and the benefits of afforestation. Some of the key points mentioned in it are nothing more than how to plant trees more effectively and quickly.

For example, planting trees on a grid, building a large number of waterwheels, aerial seeding afforestation, closing mountains for afforestation, artificial afforestation, Dafang Mountain, Jundu Mountain, Haituo Mountain, etc.

There is also the South-to-North Water Diversion Project plan. After all, there is a serious water shortage in the north, but waterlogging often occurs in the south.

In response to that sentence: Drought will die of drought, and flood will die of waterlogging!
But when Zhang Jihan read about the South-to-North Water Diversion Project, everyone was stunned.

Unexpectedly, the South-to-North Water Diversion Plan that the teacher mentioned twenty years ago was mentioned again by Chen Guohua.

The teacher said this at the beginning: There is more water in the south and less water in the north. If possible, it is okay to borrow some water.

However, the teacher only proposed this grand idea.

Chen Guohua came up with this plan, which also listed where the South-to-North Water Diversion Project would start and end, as well as the difficulty of project construction, the approximate funds required, etc. He wrote it clearly.

Such a plan is not something that Zhang Jihan can approve. It has to be reported and possibly discussed at a meeting.

For such a plan, the most important thing is money.

If the funding problem can be solved, then such a plan will not be a problem at all.

In fact, the current capital city is not very short of water. At least the underground water level is sufficient.

But now it’s about water use and afforestation in the north.

Sandstorm weather is too unfriendly to the entire north. If we want to completely eradicate sandstorms, we must mobilize more water from the south as soon as possible to provide guarantee for afforestation.

The too dry weather conditions in the north are really unfavorable to the growth of plants.

"Director Chen, don't worry, I'll submit the plan right away." After Zhang Jihan read it, he didn't dare to delay and was ready to go to work.

He even asked Chen Guohua if he wanted to meet the leader together.

In response, Chen Guohua shook his head and declined.

There is no point in meeting the leader now. We should wait until the leader reads it before talking.

Making money has become another problem facing Chen Guohua.
