Zhao Yi didn't feel very tired when he started shopping with a purpose, but after he bought all the things he needed to buy, the shopping became aimless, which made him feel very tired.
Sure enough, men are very purposeful animals. If they lose their goals or goals, they will feel at a loss in their hearts, which will affect the whole person's spirit.
Finally, it was almost evening, and Zhou Jinyu suggested having dinner outside, but Zhao Yi quickly brought him back, saying that the food at home was more delicious, and that he was a bit reminded of Lao Li's craftsmanship.
Zhou Jinyu didn't criticize Zhao Yi's lame excuses and just followed his wishes. After shopping for a day, it was really hard for him. It was very difficult for him to do this before.
After going out with Zhou Jinyu, the rest of the day fell back into the same routine. I only occasionally went to the laboratory to check how the assembly of the robot was going.
The second step is to check the parts of the super photonic computers shipped from various companies under his umbrella. Some of these parts are ready-made, while others require special manufacturing.
Fortunately, the overall manufacturing requirements are not very difficult, especially this time to assist him in developing high-end robot parts. Many processes have been upgraded. Even parts that seemed high-end before are not too difficult now.
It's just that it's not easy to produce all the parts in a short time. After all, the production efficiency of high-precision and high-tech parts is really not high.
Some parts even require manual labor to produce, because they have no plans to industrialize these high-end parts. Because they are still in the confidentiality stage, they cannot sell them once they are produced.
The parts Zhao Yi needs are very large. According to the current progress, it will not be completed until at least June this year.
As for the assembly of these parts, he has passed it on to high-end robots, and they will complete the assembly of these parts. Basically, he does not need to worry about it himself.
So his current job is to write intermediate artificial intelligence in his free time. Although the amount of code in this area is much larger than that of junior artificial intelligence, many simple logics can be completed by junior artificial intelligence.
Even so, it is difficult to complete it in a short time. The most important thing is that it is very difficult to run it with the current level of supercomputers.
So now we are all in a state of blind writing, and we don’t know how it will run after integration. We need to wait until the construction of the super photonic computer is completed before we can do overall testing and debugging.
Just before he thought of celebrating the New Year, his days were like this. He was either writing code at home, going to the gym, or fishing at home in the cold wind.
On January 25, he suddenly received an expert group discussion meeting to discuss the issue of water resources in the north. Although he didn't know why he was invited, he gladly accepted it.
You must know that he has many industries in the northwest. Although they are just pastures or forests, they have brought great impetus to the economies of Ningxia, Shaanxi, Gansu and Inner Mongolia.
Moreover, these industries are also one of his best assets at present. Not only are they large in scale and have high profit margins, they are also very stable, which plays an important role in his domestic layout.
From this point of view, there seems to be nothing wrong with inviting him. Not only does it involve the northwest, especially water resources issues, his industry cannot be bypassed, and some policy formulations also require his opinions and suggestions.
Early the next morning, he was escorted by security personnel to the expert seminar site. This time the meeting was not held in the city, but in Huairou District.
Judging from this posture, it looks like he is preparing to study for several days. If it is a one-and-a-half-day meeting, there is no need to travel so far. At least in Zhao Yi's view, Huairou is still a bit far away.
By the time he arrived at the scene, almost all the experts who were supposed to come had arrived. In his previous life, he was not a water conservancy expert, so his awareness of these experts was relatively low.
Of course, he is not considered a water conservancy expert now, and some of his remarks related to water conservancy are just picking up other people's wisdom and not his own unique insights.
Therefore, he did not look down on these experts and scholars based on his current high prestige in the academic world. Instead, he himself felt a little guilty and sat in his seat honestly.
It's just that his seat is too far forward, right next to the main seat, so he has also attracted the attention of other experts and scholars. His current name is no stranger to these experts.
Not only are they no strangers, but they are also very familiar with him. Although his previous research field basically has nothing to do with water conservancy, it does not affect others' desire to know more about him.
He is the youngest academician of the two academies in China. No one may break this record for a long time in the future. At the same time, his research fields are very wide and rare in the world.
Therefore, other experts were not surprised that he was sitting in this water conservancy-related seminar. Maybe he really did research in this area, but they just didn't know it.
This is the thought of most experts at the scene, because through information and some relationships, they almost all know the temperament of this young academician of the two academies. Although he has made great contributions, he does not have much contact with the domestic academic community.
It is said that Tianwen University and Tianwen University of Information Technology were both founded by him, but through inquiries from colleagues at Tianwen University, it is basically impossible for the faculty and staff of Tianwen University to meet the founder.
Some experts at the scene even wanted to discuss some water conservancy-related issues with him, but considering his strange temper, they gave up. Although he is very young, his academic achievements and prestige far exceed those of everyone present.
Of course, if he really wanted to discuss related water conservancy academic issues, it wasn't that he couldn't handle it, he just needed to ask Zhou Ling for help. He himself didn't have much accumulation in this area.
Fortunately, after waiting for about 10 minutes, the leader of the Ministry of Water Resources finally came to the conference room. Seeing that all the experts on the scene were here, the leader sitting in the main seat directly told what the topic of the seminar was.
"The main topic this time is to discuss how to solve the water shortage problem in the northwest and even the entire north. You are all experts in my country's water conservancy and meteorology. I hope you can make suggestions and find a feasible solution." The leader said.
After listening to the leader’s words, an expert on site said: “Due to the large number of land transformation activities carried out by Fluolight Environmental Management Company in the northwest region in recent years, the climate is much better than before.
And I heard that they are preparing to transform the Loess Plateau and plant a large number of trees on the Loess Plateau, which will further improve the climate conditions in the northwest region.
As long as we continue at the current pace, the climate opportunities in the northwest will be greatly improved. By then, there will be more low-altitude water vapor and rainfall will gradually increase.
So we want to know why we are discussing the water resources issue in the northwest so urgently this time. Only with a clear goal can we carry out targeted research. "
There is indeed nothing wrong with this. Due to the excellent work of Yaoguang Environmental Management Company, the climate in the northwest region, at least in northwest Shaanxi, has been greatly improved, and the rainfall has gradually increased.
However, this is only compared to the past. It is not true that the rainfall is very abundant. However, this trend is very gratifying. As long as it continues, there is a high probability that the environment will be further improved.
“Everyone knows that the terrain of our country is high in the west and low in the east. The water shortage problem is not only limited to the northwest. In fact, there are serious shortages of water resources in the entire northern region.
The country's economic activities have been very active in recent years. Although the economic development in the north is still slightly behind that of the south, it is much more active than before.
Economic development is naturally accompanied by an increase in water consumption. At present, it seems that water resources still have room to cope. However, according to our estimates, if this issue is not seriously discussed now, we will face a more serious water shortage problem in the future.
As we all know, insufficient water resources will not only affect the climate in the north, but also seriously affect the economic development of the north, including agriculture and industry, which will further exacerbate the economic gap between the north and the south.
Thanks to the outstanding work of the Lucky Light Environmental Management Company, the climate in the northwest has indeed improved to some extent, but these improvements are gradual. Water from far away cannot quench the thirst of nearby people, and it cannot solve the overall water shortage problem in the north in the short term. "The leader explained.
Originally, the water resources in the north were far inferior to those in the south. In addition, in recent years, a relatively balanced economic development policy has been implemented, and many industrial industries have been arranged in the north.
Moreover, due to economic improvement, people's lives have become better, and per capita water consumption has also shown an upward trend, which has further aggravated the shortage of water resources in the north.
It is precisely because of this problem that Yaoguang Environmental Management Company is preparing to build a large number of desalination plants along the northern coast to provide additional fresh water for provinces and cities near coastal areas in the north.
However, these will only benefit coastal areas at most. As for further areas, it is not impossible, but the cost is relatively high, and the economic development of these places cannot bear higher water prices.
Although government subsidies can be used to reduce the price of water transported to farther places, this is not a good idea and should only be implemented as a last resort. It is a last resort.
"If we want to solve the water shortage problem in the north in a short period of time and solve the urgent need, we can only divert water resources from other places. This is the only way out at present." said an expert.
After hearing what this expert said, the experts on the scene all nodded. They wanted to solve the urgent problem in a short time, but this was the only way, and other methods were long-term solutions.
"The southern region and Tibet are relatively rich in water resources. If we want to introduce water resources, we can only consider these two directions." The expert continued.
As soon as the expert finished speaking, another expert on the scene said: "Someone had previously proposed to build the Hongqi River water conservancy hub to introduce the abundant water resources in Tibet to the northwest."
This proposal of the Hongqi River Waterway was mentioned by Zhao Yi before. At that time, it was to develop the vast land in the northwest and solve the food crisis problem in our country.
However, because the construction was too difficult and the cost was very huge, the domestic economic level at that time simply could not afford such a huge water conservancy construction plan, and there was not much news in this regard.
However, the government should have organized a group of experts to conduct relevant research and inspection work on this proposal. Regardless of whether it is feasible or not, this is still an idea. It makes no sense to reject it without studying it.
When they heard about the Hongqi River plan, the experts at the scene began to discuss it in low voices. It can be seen that they have all heard of this plan, and some have even studied the feasibility of this plan.
Sure enough, after the experts discussed in private for a while, one expert said: "I heard that this plan was proposed by Academician Zhao Yi several years ago, and the government also dispatched a team of experts to study the feasibility of this plan.
I am one of the leaders, and I have a say in this plan. After years of research, although this plan is not impossible, it is just very difficult to implement.
The first aspect is that there are many seismic zones along the route of this plan. As long as a serious earthquake occurs in one place, it may cause a huge disaster.
The second aspect is that the cost is very huge. Unless these huge investments are regarded as sunk costs, the final water price will not be low and it is not very cost-effective.
The third aspect is that the feelings of some countries south of Tibet need to be taken into consideration. After all, large-scale water resource transfer to the northwest region will inevitably lead to a reduction of water resources flowing to their countries and cause international water resources disputes.
The fourth aspect is that even if the Hongqi River plan is successfully implemented and a large amount of water resources are introduced, it may not be able to completely solve the problem of water shortage in the north.
Based on the previous level of economic development in the north, there might not be much of a problem, but now that water consumption in the north is increasing day by day, the vacancies will become larger and larger in the future, and a Hongqi River may not necessarily solve the problem. "
Hearing what this expert said, even Zhao Yi felt a little surprised. The four key points he raised were indeed on point. There were indeed many flaws in his previous considerations.
At that time, he was in high spirits and held huge sums of money. It seemed that as long as he invested these funds in the motherland, he would be able to bring about great economic development. Then the government's fiscal revenue would increase significantly, and there would naturally be funds to implement this plan.
In the final analysis, he did not conduct too in-depth research on this. At that time, it was a plan he heard from his previous life, and he did not take into account many factors and potential harms.
As for the international water disputes in India in the south, he doesn't care much. After all, the relationship between the two countries has never been good, and the water originally comes from our country, so why should we use some
However, the earthquake problem mentioned by this expert is something that must be considered. Once an earthquake occurs, it will block the water transportation channel at the least, and may cause floods at the worst.
Moreover, after the earthquake, dredging will cost a huge amount of money again, otherwise the previous work will be in vain. This will increase the operation and maintenance costs in disguise, and the cost of water resources will continue to rise.
After listening to the expert's analysis, the leaders on the scene nodded and agreed with these views. Seeing the reaction of the experts on the scene, the leader turned to ask Zhao Yi next to him and said, "Academician Zhao, since this plan was proposed by you before What do you think about this?"
Hearing the leader ask himself, Zhao Yi thought for a while and said: "After hearing this professor's analysis, I apologize for my lack of consideration before. Fortunately, you have done so much meticulous work to be able to discover such a Lots of questions.
Several other problems are actually relatively easy to solve, such as the problem of high costs. We can reduce certain costs by developing special mechanical equipment to carry out excavation work.
Another example is that it may cause international water disputes. In fact, it is really a matter of benefit to the country and the people. We do not need to consider other people's feelings too much. First, we need to take care of our own feelings.
As for the possible problem of insufficient water resources, it is actually too much to worry about, because today is different from the past. Even if the water resources from the Hongqi River are diverted, they are basically used in the northwest region.
As for the water resources around Kyoto and even in the northeastern region of Inner Mongolia, fresh water resources can be provided through coastal desalination plants.
If there may have been problems with higher energy costs before, leading to higher transportation costs, with the large-scale construction of high-efficiency photovoltaic power plants in the Qaidam Desert by Xinhui Energy Company, there is a possibility of further declines in electricity prices in the future.
My focus is instead on the risks brought about by earthquake zones. We originally wanted to build a water conservancy project that would benefit the country and the people, and we should not have catastrophic consequences due to some uncontrollable factors.
So my current point of view is to take it easy. The Hongqi River plan is not the best solution for our country at present. If there are other ways to solve the problem, don't consider this plan. "
The experts and leaders were a little surprised when they heard Zhao Yi's words. They also expressed appreciation for his straightforward admission that they had not considered enough at the beginning.
You must know that he is only in his twenties now, but his achievements are looked up to by many half a hundred people at the scene. From the outsiders' eyes, he must have been young and frivolous. In addition to the previous rumors, everyone thinks so.
I originally wanted to see the young academician of the two academies arguing with each other, but unexpectedly, he admitted that he had not considered enough and did not even argue too much.
Sure enough, a person who can achieve such great achievements at such a young age must be exceptional. At least his mind and open-mindedness are recognized by experts on the scene.
After hearing what he said, the leader asked again: "Do you have any other ideas? You can also put them forward for everyone's reference. Don't have any worries."
The leader said this because during the discussion just now, he basically remained silent throughout the entire discussion. If it hadn't been about him, he probably wouldn't have spoken.
Seeing that he was so inactive in the discussion, the leader naturally wanted to mention his name more. Regarding the leader's concern, Zhao Yi expressed his helplessness. A plan that he had finally put forward was aborted.
As for other plans, he does have them, such as the South-to-North Water Diversion Project, which has been proven to be feasible in previous lives. However, the overall amount of water transported by this project is not very large. It can only solve the problem in the short term, but it is still insufficient in the long term. (End of chapter)
