It makes sense for Qiu Zhaohui to ask such cautious questions. Wang Hongcheng was a famous scandal in academic circles in the past few years, but Director Chen was probably still in middle school or even elementary school at that time.
Now that Chen Taizhong has become the deputy director of the Science and Technology Committee with the qualifications of a high school student, Director Qiu is afraid that the other party will hear insinuations from his words, so of course he has to explain carefully.
"Who is Wang Hongcheng?" As expected, Chen was really confused. He looked at Qiu Zhaohui strangely, hesitated and asked again, "Should I know him?"
He said this a bit rudely, but he didn't mean to target anyone. Could it be Wang Jiangcheng's brother? A very famous scholar or... a very big leader?
"Ahem, this..." Qiu Zhaohui coughed, organized his words carefully, and then spoke slowly, "Wang Hongcheng is the one who turned water into oil a few years ago, but in fact, he is a liar."
"Water turns into oil?" Chen Taizhong was stunned when he heard it, and then nodded slowly, "I really remember this. Our physics teacher said it was impossible, but the chemistry teacher said it might be possible."
Physics talks from the perspective of energy conservation, and chemistry talks from the perspective of the omnipotence of catalysts. This is normal. Qiu Zhaohui smiled and shook his head, "It turned out to be false. It was just that after adding a catalyst, water and oil were mixed together.
Already..."
"Of course I know this," Chen Taizhong smiled and shook his head, interrupting him rudely. My buddy's IQ is not as bad as you think. Later, the "energy revolution" that the chemistry teacher longed for did not happen at all. Of course
It's just fake.
But the next moment, he paused there, and it took him a long time to frown and ask. "Are you saying that Wang Jiangcheng's research results may be a liar like Wang Hongcheng?"
"I just think... it's very possible," Qiu Zhaohui also hesitated. Finally, he nodded heavily, "It's not because their names are similar, the key is... the soil structure can be changed so easily, tsk, how do you say it?
What? Those academicians at the Chinese Academy of Sciences are all just doing it for a living?"
"Tsk, the names of the two projects are almost the same. One is Water to Oil, and the other is Local Oil." Chen Taizhong rolled his eyes at him dissatisfied. He shook his head disapprovingly, "There are also great talents among the people. When you say it, it's the Chinese Academy of Sciences or something.
I don’t like to hear this. How can the Chinese Academy of Sciences monopolize all talents?”
He said this not because he wanted to insist on this project, but because he was simply dissatisfied with Qiu Zhaohui's blind praise of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. People who are used to success will develop the habit of not blindly trusting authority. But strictly speaking, this
You can't say that a problem is definitely a bad thing.
In fact, Mr. Chen has a good reason to say this. He is a great talent scattered among the people. I don’t believe that among the academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, there are people who can cultivate immortality and ascend. I’m afraid they haven’t even heard of this theory.
Have you passed?
I knew it was like this! Qiu Zhaohui closed his eyes in pain. At this moment, he really wanted to grab Chen Taizhong's ears and yell "Chen. It doesn't matter if you don't know anything, but if you want to stand up and be embarrassed if you don't know anything, that's you."
Something is wrong!
"Anyway, I'm not optimistic about this project." The next moment, Director Qiu opened his eyes and shook his head firmly. "This is not a dispute of will, it is purely from an academic point of view. Taizhong, I will stick to my point of view."
!”
"Hey, Lao Qiu, Lao Qiu, aren't I discussing this with you?" Chen Taizhong frowned, looked at him angrily and funny, and smacked his tongue twice, "If you have any opinions, you can raise your opinion.
It’s not that you can’t listen. Who can show you this look of despising death? Do you really think you are a revolutionary martyr?”
"Oh, you scared me to death. I thought you were going to push this project forward." Qiu Zhaohui was amused by his sarcastic remarks, but then his face became serious again, "Let's put it this way, actually...
I can imagine how much fame this project will bring to our Science and Technology Commission once it is successful, and I can understand if you are tempted."
"What are you talking about?" Chen Taizhong's face turned pale, and he gave him an angry look, "Reputation is like a cloud to me, the key... Ahem, didn't I work in Donglinshui? I know what happens after soil erosion.
"
When he said this, he actually put on an expression of compassion on his face, and then he sighed heavily, "Oh, the villagers in the east Linshui are so miserable..."
Just pretend, you just pretend. Qiu Zhaohui felt a little want to laugh in his heart. Chen Taizhong's almost pathological obsession with political achievements was almost known to the Science and Technology Committee. This was not because Chen showed some flaws, but that Director Chen was doing things.
My son is so perfect.
If you have to fight for it, you will fight for it desperately. If you encounter resistance in the middle, it will be as crazy as a god blocking the gods and meeting the Buddha to destroy the Buddha; but when it is time to let go, you will let go as soon as you let go. Although this person's personal life is a bit
He has a small flaw, but he can devote his limited life to an infinite career. He is so busy that he almost vomits blood. What does he want?
There seems to be nothing to gain. Everyone was shocked to discover this fact. If you don’t care for money or power, and just focus on work, isn’t it just for fame? Director Chen is young and has a bright future. Naturally, he won’t care about trivial matters.
This is something I have in mind.
Director Qiu was muttering in his heart when Chen Taizhong's slightly hesitant question came to his ears, "Old Qiu... do you think this project really can't be done?"
"Well..." Qiu Zhaohui hesitated, and finally shook his head slowly, "I am just skeptical because this is not consistent with knowledge. By the way, which school is this Wang Jiangcheng a professor?"
I really don’t know about this. Chen Taizhong smiled bitterly and shook his head, “I didn’t even ask, I just thought this project might be good, so I’ll come to you right away.”
Qiu Zhaohui glanced at him, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he smiled and nodded, "You're right, learning requires a rigorous attitude. I shouldn't be preconceived and a bit stubborn."
"Bold assumptions, be careful to verify them," Chen Taizhong also smiled and shook his head, "Lao Qiu, you can honestly make assumptions first. It can be regarded as a wake-up call for everyone. It's good."
Why couldn't he hear that Director Qiu was speaking against his will? But being able to say this already gave him face. He didn't want to fight with Lao Qiu. What he was worried about now was whether the feasibility of this project was really a scam.
Brother, this is a big loss of face.
After coming out of Qiu Zhaohui's place, Chen Taizhong parked his car in a secret place and immediately dialed Liang Zhigang's mobile phone. The person who owed him the most debt from the Science and Technology Committee now was Director Liang. I just wanted to ask, can't that guy go out and make noises?
When Liang Zhigang heard that Director Chen was actually asking about this kind of project, he immediately fell silent. After a long time, he hesitated and asked, "What does Qiu Zhaohui think of this project?"
"Director Liang, I'm asking you," Chen Taizhong was a little dissatisfied. In fact, Director Liang was not as ecstatic as he had just heard the news, which was enough to make the young deputy director aware of some problems.
"This is definitely a good project," Director Liang's answer was usually watertight, "but we still need to carefully verify the relevant technologies and theories... Make bold assumptions and verify carefully."
"Old Liang, what you said is the same as what you didn't say," Chen Taizhong became more and more angry, and his voice became louder. At such a critical moment, are you trying to play tricks on me? "I just want to ask your personal opinion, you
How feasible do you think this project is?"
"Ahem," Director Liang could certainly tell that Director Chen was annoyed and couldn't help but cough twice, "Taizhong, I personally think that this project is a bit dangerous. I'm telling the truth... By the way, you can ask Jing
Teacher. He has been at the forefront of scientific research."
How could I go to Jing Tao to embarrass myself if I didn’t ask you to confirm it? Chen Taizhong hung up the phone angrily. But his heart was filled with despair. It seemed that this project was not optimistic anymore, which made him feel a little worried.
Confused.
Fortunately, now that he knew where everyone's opinions were leaning, he could call Jing Tao. The next moment he called Jing Tao, "Professor Jing, I heard a very funny thing.
But in order to be responsible for my work, I still want to understand the situation with you..."
Director Qiu and Director Liang have already expressed their attitude. Of course Director Chen also thinks this matter is "ridiculous". From an official point of view, following the trend is not a shameful thing. Not following the trend and being new and innovative is seeking death.
Professor Jing patiently listened to his statement, and after a long time he sighed heavily, "Well... I don't know much about soil geology, but I'm too loyal. This matter sounds a bit evil to me."
Okay, if it’s according to my understanding…”
He pondered again before speaking softly, "Anyway, this incident reminds me of Wang Hongcheng's water turns to oil. It's a good thing that you can treat it so carefully."
Is this Wang Hongcheng really so famous? Chen Taizhong couldn't hold it in any longer. He didn't even say Wang Jiangcheng's name this time, "Professor Jing, what's going on with this Wang Hongcheng..."
After listening to Jing Tao's explanation quietly, he laughed easily and said, "So that's it. I understand. Thank you Professor Jing for helping me popularize science. Okay, I won't disturb you anymore."
After hanging up the phone, Chen Taizhong sat in the car and thought quietly, with a smile on his face that became brighter. Of course, if Ding Xiaoning was present, he would know that some people were going to be unlucky again...
Wang Jiangcheng arrived faster than everyone expected. On the third day after Chen Taizhong received the call from Governor Sha, Deputy Director Rui Gen of the Forestry Department sent him over in his own special car.
Chen Taizhong's phone always said "on call". Director Rui didn't bother to wait any longer, so he went directly to Qiu Zhaohui's office at the entrance of Phoenix University.
Qiu Zhaohui is in a stalemate with Director Li from the Jinwu County Science and Technology Commission. Director Li is here to ask for the Innovation Fund for Small and Medium-sized High-tech Enterprises. "I only want one of the special aquaculture and special economic animal breeding."
"You are planning to go to Xinghuo!" Director Qiu looked at the other party calmly, but unexpectedly saw two people coming in from the door, "Is Director Qiu here?"
Chapter 1,077 Citizen Scientists
"Who are you two looking for?" Qiu Zhaohui was feeling dizzy due to being pestered by Director Li. Seeing someone coming, he hurriedly changed the topic, hesitated, and stood up again.
Originally, Director Qiu was supposed to stand up and greet people. Recently, the people who appear most often here are people who come to inquire about the process of applying for innovation funds, and there are also people holding proposal documents, feasibility analysis reports, patent certificates or national science and technology appraisals.
Results and the like.
However, Deputy Director Regan is a leader with great style. Although he only wore a short-sleeved shirt of an unknown brand because of the hot weather, his steady and a little reserved attitude is something that ordinary little people cannot imitate.
.
Professor Wang Jiangcheng is much worse. Although his tall and thin figure and the rimless resin glasses on the bridge of his nose make him look a bit like a scholar, his eyes are too flexible. He is probably the leader's secretary, and he is slightly older.
A little bit.
In addition, Director Qiu wanted to let Director Li understand that he had another important guest here, so he naturally stood up. To be honest, he wanted to use this as a hint. He wanted to emphasize his attitude to Director Li: Your Spark Project
Money, don't come to me.
"I'm Rui Gen from the Provincial Forestry Department," Director Rui walked over with brisk steps and stretched out his hand to Qiu Zhaohui with a smile, "Are you Director Qiu? I talked to you on the phone earlier."
He is of moderate stature. Although he is forty-six years old, he looks about thirty years old. His movements are also very vigorous and full of youthful vitality. This is one of the reasons why Governor Sha admires him.
"Oh. It's Ruiting," Qiu Zhaohui nodded with a smile and walked out from behind the table. After the two shook hands, Director Qiu stretched out his hand and turned around to find a cup to make tea.
Director Li had a sharp eye and smiled softly when he saw this, "Director Qiu, you talk to the leader. I will help you deal with it."
I actually... don't want to talk to this guy. Qiu Zhaohui nodded with a smile, but sighed secretly in his heart. Director Rui called yesterday. He just thought that the other party couldn't come so soon. He casually said that he wouldn't be here for the next two days.
I will go out. It will be "no guarantee" in two days. Who would have thought that someone would come to your door the next day?
If there was anything more depressing in the world than talking to Director Li from Jinwu, it was probably the talk with Director Rui of the Forestry Department. Director Qiu felt for a moment that he had been happy just now.
He was strongly skeptical about the "local oil" project, but since Chen Taizhong had no intention of pushing it forward, he wanted to learn more about it, lest he lose Xiao Chen's trust.
But I don’t know, I was shocked when I learned about it. Optimizing soil structure is really a topic that has had some influence in recent years. It is not only about soil-derived oil, but also how to solve the residual pesticides in the land, prevent the soil from hardening, and solve the pollution of the land by waste water.
Topics ranging from acid rain to the enrichment of various elements by different plants.
Among them, the native oil is not the focus, but there are similar conjectures, but absolutely no one dares to say authoritatively that this thing can definitely be produced, and no one has even done similar experiments. The only exception is this Wang Jiangcheng, this Wang
The professor graduated from high school and is a self-taught person. To put it more fashionably, he can be regarded as a "civilian" citizen scientist.
The topic about Wang Jiangcheng is now considered a hot topic. Some people doubt his invention, while others remain silent. However, until now, few people in the academic community have publicly come out to support him.
Nine times out of ten, he is a liar! This was Qiu Zhaohui's guess, but when Director Rui called him yesterday, he said "Governor Sha takes it very seriously" and said "This year's floods are enough to serve as a warning. We can't
Don’t ignore the issue of soil and water conservation any longer." With a look of concern for the country and the people, Director Qiu certainly heard that he was determined to win.
Why isn't Chen Taizhong here? This is what Qiu Zhaohui wants to complain about most at the moment. He is also quite tough-tempered. It wouldn't be a big problem if he could support Regan, the director of the Forestry Department.
.
But what should Governor Sha do? Who will help him carry it like Qiu?
"Hmm, this is Mr. Wang Jiangcheng, right?" Since extending his head is a knife, and shrinking his head is also a knife, Qiu Zhaohui finally let go of the entanglement in his heart, and turned to look at the tall and thin middle-aged man with a smile, "I have admired his name for a long time.
ah."
He called him "sir" instead of "professor", which made his position clear. Your civil science is civil science. Don't mix yourself with professor. You want me to call you professor? Okay, please take out your senior professional title certificate.
Right. Director Rui nodded with a smile, but there was no look of displeasure on his face. He heard what Qiu Zhaohui meant, but he couldn't tell the truth. He could only mutter to himself: This cultural person is so rotten. That professional title
Is it important? There are many people with high scores and low abilities these days. Those who can do things are talents.
You Phoenix Science and Technology Commission are really awesome. It’s different when you have money in your hands. Thinking of this, Regan really wanted to smile bitterly: A deputy director doesn’t even pay attention to me, a deputy director.
"My reputation is not loud enough." Wang Jiangcheng shook his head with a stern face. He could understand the hint of doubt in Qiu Zhaohui's words, but he did not care about it, but pointed out a fact lightly,
"If it was loud enough, there would be no need to come to your company to ask for alms. Too many people don't realize the importance of soil and water conservation, an issue that affects the survival of the country."
Will the country survive? Civil science is indeed civil science, and the wording is very careless. Qiu Zhaohui smiled faintly and did not comment on his words, "I have more or less understood this home-grown theory proposed by Mr. Wang.
I wonder if you can provide me with the recipe for making the potion?"
"This is absolutely impossible," Wang Jiangcheng shook his head resolutely and replied proudly, "In order to keep it confidential, I didn't even apply for a patent. I can only give you a demonstration, and you can evaluate the test results."
He looks more and more like Wang Hongcheng of "Water Turns to Oil"! Qiu Zhaohui originally had the idea of advancing while retreating, but after hearing this answer, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional in his heart.
"Okay then, I understand." The next moment, Director Qiu nodded, and he "stepped back to the next best thing." "Is there a detailed analysis report on changes in soil structure? Or is it the results of soil nutrients and infrared spectrum testing?"
"This is not necessary. What is true is true, and what is false is false." Wang Jiangcheng laughed, and the arrogance on his face became more and more intense. "After I give a demonstration. Infrared spectrum detection. You can do it, I will
cooperative."
Tsk. Qiu Zhaohui was getting more and more headaches. Isn't this just a replica of the old incident at Harbin Institute of Technology? At this moment, he finally understood why some people were so powerless even though they knew what they could and couldn't do.
"Then you should have a corresponding theory, right?" Director Qiu took a step back and glanced at Rui Gen. I am very proud of you, Director Rui. "For example, why can you predict the medicine so accurately?
What is the natural decomposition period?”
"I have been using this medicine for twenty years from the time it was developed to now, and I have lost all my money because of it." Wang Jiangcheng did not answer the previous question about theory, but only grasped the following words and answered, "I have records of the relevant data, you don't believe it.
If so, you can use data to refute me."
At this point, Qiu Zhaohui really couldn't avoid it. The other party's words clearly show that I know that people in your system are biased and discriminatory against us civilian scientists. You can use data to refute me.
.
Director Rui also heard it, and the guest he invited was a little annoyed. He chuckled and interjected steadily, "Director Qiu, the relevant leaders of the Ministry of Forestry are relatively optimistic about this project, as well as the newly established Ministry of Land and Resources.
, and some leaders attach great importance to it.”
Damn it! Qiu Zhaohui wanted to curse for a moment. What's the matter? Rui, you think Sha Pengcheng's strength is not strong enough and you can't scare me to death, so you brought out two such big gods again?
"No way?" He looked at Rui Gen in shock, intending to bring out something more, "Director Rui, the department leaders are paying attention to it, so will there still be a lack of development and start-up funds?"
"Well, isn't it that Professor Wang has been squeezed out by the traditional academic community and can't produce any decent reports?" Director Rui shook his head and smiled bitterly, "That's why I opened my mouth to your Science and Technology Committee. If you can make a suitable appraisal,
It is also a great thing that benefits the country and the people."
"However, there are indeed leaders in the department who pay more attention to it." A solemn look appeared on his face, and he casually announced the names of the two leaders. "...You can ask about this. I am not making this up."
Hearing the names and positions of the two leaders, Qiu Zhaohui's expression changed again, and he hated Chen Taizhong more and more: Taizhong, Taizhong, it's time to use you, but you can't run away, this, this, this...
I can't carry Lao Qiu anymore.
However, seeing Director Rui looking at him longingly, Director Qiu couldn't just sit there in a daze, right? So he smiled and nodded, "Okay, we will arrange this demonstration as soon as possible... By the way, I'll call Director Chen
A phone call first."
Chen Taizhong's phone number was still "on call", but Qiu Zhaohui got angry and wouldn't let go of the phone. He knew that Director Chen's phone had the "call waiting" function turned on. Are you busy? I'll use the beeping prompt.
The sound keeps reminding you!
It seemed like a century had passed. Chen Taizhong finally answered the phone and asked impatiently, "Tsk, Lao Qiu, what are you doing? I'm so busy. What's the matter? Tell me!"
"Director Rui and Mr. Wang Jiangcheng are here," Qiu Zhaohui said as he stood up, smiled apologetically at the two guests, turned around and walked out.
The young deputy director of the Phoenix Science and Technology Commission really has the final say. Seeing this, Regan muttered to himself.
