Chapter 2545 Chen Kangjie wanted to cheat. He Baoguo wanted to find an expert to learn more about this. Zhou Yongfu could not refuse or stop this. Not only could he not refuse and stop him, but he also had to participate in such activities. On the one hand, he said that he actually also On the other hand, only by gaining a deep understanding can we take countermeasures. When he learned that the Xichuan Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government wanted to invite scientists from the National Geophysical Research Center to Tianfu to give scientific reports, Chen Kangjie knew what was going on. He was worried that the National Geophysical Research Center did not pay enough attention to it and was only dealing with business matters, so he specially took Liu Deyi to the capital. Director Hou of the Geophysical Research Center valued and welcomed the arrival of Chen Kangjie and Liu Deyi. The development of their research center over the years, personnel training, scientific research conditions and improvement of living conditions have all benefited from the Huatang Foundation¡¯s unsparing support and sponsorship. If it were not for the Huatang Foundation¡¯s annual large-scale funding injection, this research center might not be the same. Still a deserted place. In recent years, with the opening up of society and economic development, our basic research has entered a somewhat unpopular environment. Applied research is much more popular, and many talented people will choose finance, computer, and economics. Management and other industries. It is difficult to make money doing basic research, and it is extremely boring, which is somewhat out of proportion to the vigorous development of this society. The government is sometimes stretched thin in allocating research funds. There are really too many places to spend money. It especially likes to invest money in places and fields where benefits can be seen quickly. Basic research obviously does not meet such standards. . There are many research institutes and research centers in the capital, but there are very few that don¡¯t worry about funding like the National Geophysical Research Center. Some research units have even encountered problems in paying wages, and they need to undergo restructuring, mergers, or even abolition. At present, the state's allocation to the National Geophysical Research Center only accounts for less than 20% of their funding needs. Therefore, although it is still a national scientific research institution, in fact, the one that has the greatest influence on them has become It became the Huatang Foundation. Director Hou was previously a professor at the University of Geosciences. He was transferred to the director of the National Geophysical Research Center four years ago. However, he is not the chief scientist of this research center. The chief scientist is an academician. Although Director Hou is also a geological expert, he is now More like a manager. Director Hou¡¯s job is to actively provide logistical support services to various teams in the research center, and raising funds has become his most important job. "Director Hou, how is the satellite remote sensing monitoring system project of our research center going?" Liu Deyi asked with concern after sitting down for a cup of tea. "Thank you Mr. Liu for your concern. The progress is very smooth. This is due to your generous support. If we have to wait for the country to pay attention to this project and then allocate funds, I am afraid it will take more than two years to complete the process. Now we have cooperated with the Aviation Industry Corporation We have reached a cooperation agreement there to jointly develop this system. Once this satellite system is completed, it will greatly improve our ability to prevent earth disasters and improve our disaster prevention and reduction capabilities and methods. Since we have already made certain technological accumulation before, So if we go quickly, we will be able to launch the first remote sensing monitoring satellite by the end of the year and the beginning of the year, and within five years, the entire system will be online and operational," Director Hou said. "It will take another five years to build a network?" Chen Kangjie was a little surprised. If the network can be established only five years later, wouldn¡¯t it mean that it would not be able to catch up with the 2008 earthquake? "According to our progress, it will take such a time, because both the development and launch of satellites and the establishment of monitoring stations all take time." Director Hou replied. "Can't it be done a little earlier? Two years in advance, or one and a half years in advance." Chen Kangjie calculated this issue based on time. "Haha, Mr. Chen, it doesn't mean that it can't be done in advance at all. It's just that scientific research has its own rules, and our funds are allocated according to the consumption at each stage. There is also a connection between the following departments. "Problem." Director Hou had dealt with Chen Kangjie several times. Not only did he know that he was making a movie about earthquakes and received technical assistance from them, the National Geophysical Research Center would also be the filming location, but he also knew that Chen Kangjie was filming. It has extraordinary influence on the Huatang Foundation, so I speak very politely. Liu Deyi already knew Chen Kangjie¡¯s influence based on his previous status as Chen Kangjie¡¯s assistant. "Then, can't several departments work at the same time and assemble the system at the end? This is how large companies like Boeing in the United States work." Chen Kangjie owns an aircraft company, so he is very interested in foreign colleagues.The operation of ? is somewhat understood. "Of course it can be done in the manufacturing process, but the research and development process is not easy, and it is not conducive to saving R&D funds." Although Director Hou is not the chief scientist of the research center, as a top domestic expert, he cannot be confident about himself The fields of management and research are completely unknown. "Director Hou, please do it as early as possible. Don't worry about the funds. If it's not enough, we will help raise it." As Chen Kangjie's assistant, Liu Deyi can understand what Chen Kangjie means. "Thank you very much. Don't worry, Mr. Liu. Each of our researchers is diligent and conscientious. This year we have trained more than thirty masters and doctors. Except for some of them, we will send them to study abroad, and the rest will Stay and add to each team. Mr. Chen, aren't you filming a movie in Xichuan? Did you encounter any scientific difficulties this time and need our assistance? "As the director, Director Hou is? Very sociable. "It's okay so far. The information you have compiled for me is very sufficient. There is no need for any problems at the moment. During post-production, I need your experts to help me check it. I came here this time to discuss something with Director Hou. "Mr. Chen, if anything happens, we will do our best to help you if we can." Director Hou was very happy. "That's it. First of all, I hope you can complete the construction of the testing center in Tianfu as soon as possible, and also complete the construction of the Xichuan earthquake monitoring network as soon as possible. On the other hand, didn't you previously publish a report on the major earthquake in Xichuan? A disaster prediction report? This report has attracted the attention of the provincial party committee and the provincial government. They plan to invite your experts to give an academic lecture. I hope that our center and Director Hou can pay more attention to it. "Chen Kangjie first half. Part of it is straightforward, but the second half is a bit more cryptic. Director Hou looked at Chen Kangjie and then at Liu Deyi, "This the level of emphasis has increased? Our evaluation report has already attached great importance to this. How can we improve this?" You can't tell the Xichuan Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government what kind of earthquake will happen in that year, right? We can't do this at the moment, and the whole world can't do it. " "Director Hou, of course you don't need to do that. But you can definitely emphasize the severity more, and you can also increase the possibility appropriately. It is a great good thing for you that the local government attaches great importance to this work, and it shows that your scientific research is of sufficient value. Don¡¯t think so. This will mislead the local government and allow the local government to prepare for disaster prevention and reduction. This is a good thing. Although we don¡¯t know when it will happen on which day or year, at least if these preparations are done well, there will be nothing wrong. Yes. If your prediction is accurate, you will become famous all over the world, and maybe you will be awarded a Nobel Prize in Physics. I know you have an earthquake brigade in Tianfu " "Although we can use the data from the earthquake brigade, it does not belong to us, but to the national seismological bureau," Director Hou corrected Chen Kangjie's less rigorous statement. "Although this is the case, after your research center is established, the seismic brigade can be included in your field, right? Well, let's get back to business. First of all, I don't have any bad intentions. You study geology, so you should I am very aware of the horror and harm of earthquakes. I am making earthquake-related movies, and I am also aware of the tragedy. We have no way to prevent earthquakes from happening, but we can reduce the impact of disasters. Think about it. The human losses caused by the Great Kanto Earthquake in Japan were much smaller than those caused by our major earthquakes in the 1970s. Why? At least it has to do with the fact that they attach great importance to this matter. The earthquake resistance level of buildings has been greatly improved, and people are more concerned about earthquakes. Scientific understanding has greatly improved. Do the Japanese know that an earthquake will occur next year or the year after that? They don¡¯t know either, but one thing they do know is that there is no way to completely avoid the occurrence of earthquakes, as stated in your assessment report. It is said that Xichuan is a geologically active zone, and the probability of earthquakes is very high. This is true, right? In this case, why don't we let the local government pay attention to this matter? Do we have to wait for a bloody lesson? Do you think about it after it happened? I think this seems to be inconsistent with the spirit of scientists." In order to convince Director Hou, Chen Kangjie really racked his brains. It is not easy for a liberal arts student to convince rational scientists. "Then you say we should give them a conclusion?" Director Hou pondered for a moment and asked. "There will be a major earthquake within four years, with an earthquake magnitude of no less than eight, and the location is in a mountainous area with active geology." Chen Kangjie responded immediately and instinctively. "No, there's no way we can say that, especially in four years, frankly,"We dare not say this at all. We have no reliable scientific data to support this period of time. It may be four years, it may be forty years, or it may be four hundred years. If we conclude that it is four years, the risk It's really big, and we simply can't bear such a risk. "
