Department of Technology and Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, daily meetings every Monday. Music-Wen-

As the minister, Xu Chunli manages more than 20 academicians and more than 100 researchers. These people each have their own research topics. As a leader, Minister Xu needs to master the overall research progress of the department, so holding regular meetings is naturally a very effective means.

More than a dozen project leaders sat around a circular conference table with Xu Chunli. As an academic research institution, the Chinese Academy of Sciences is not very particular about the set of political rules in the officialdom. This round table also expresses an equal and open academic spirit. Everyone sat casually and did not deliberately sit in the order of their positions.

"Everyone is here, so let's talk about it briefly. This year is the end of the 13th Five-Year Plan, and many research projects have come to an end. The more we reach this time, the less we cannot relax. If you have any questions, you must raise them in time. If you need to solve them in a centralized manner, you must hurry up and as soon as possible!"

After Xu Chunli finished speaking, he signaled everyone to speak freely.

As soon as he finished speaking, an old scholar with silver hair sitting on his left hand spoke. His voice was gentle and magnetic, showing rich knowledge and cultivation.

"Let me first talk about the part I am responsible for research. In the high-energy battery, our main focus is lithium-sulfur batteries. Compared with traditional lead-acid batteries and lithium batteries, the unit energy of lithium-sulfur batteries is higher. But the biggest problem now is that it is difficult to master the ratio relationship between the two batteries. We have done a lot of test questions, but the data has always been not very ideal. At the same time, the miniaturization of batteries has also encountered bottlenecks. Due to the huge body size of the device that maintains battery stability, this battery technology is difficult to apply to the small civil transportation field, and the power required by large equipment cannot be provided, so we face a problem of not being up or down..."

Academician Liu Changhe spoke for five minutes. His orderly and his pronunciation was very rhythmic. His impromptu words were almost completely written. Obviously, these questions and data were all kept in his heart, and they were extremely clear.

Xu Chunli nodded and took over the words: "The use of electricity is a major direction. Now the country is vigorously promoting clean energy. This research work is very important. Lao Liu, you are an old academician in our institute for decades. Research on this area is also the field you are best at. In the field of high-energy batteries, similar problems are faced all over the world. You must work hard, and you must not be anxious. You must persevere and take your time. Scientific research is not achieved overnight."

Xu Chunli said this, but he was very anxious. Now the country attaches great importance to new energy technology. The use of oil energy has become the number one killer that threatens the environment, but before a replacement is found, the role of oil energy is still irreplaceable. Not to mention anything else, just talking about the civilian automobile field. Now Chinese people own more and more cars, even more than the United States and island countries. With China's huge population, if it continues to develop according to this trend, it will soon cause serious environmental problems. On the other hand, China itself is not a major energy country. Oil and natural gas mainly rely on imports, which is equivalent to the lifeline being in the hands of others. Although through the establishment of diplomatic relations with some South African countries over the years, some local resource exploitation rights have been obtained. However, the results are not very obvious. In this case, it is very important to find an efficient alternative energy source.

The country has strongly supported the development of electric vehicles in the past two years, and it is precisely because of the above reasons. Unfortunately, compared with traditional cars, electric vehicles have not been effectively solved, such as insufficient torque, short battery life and high cost. Taking Byd, the earlier domestic car brand in China, as an example, the brand has been committed to developing electric vehicles in recent years. It has received strong support from the country, but it was not until recently that a Byd Qin was developed, and the market response was not very good.

Xu Chunli knew in his heart that from the existing scientific and technological foundation, the most likely thing to achieve is still high-energy batteries. Other fields such as solar energy, wind energy, biological energy, etc., either there are too many technical problems that need to be overcome or too low efficiency and no research value. However, the miniaturization of high-energy batteries and the storage of unit energy have always been major problems that restrict the development of this technology.

He also knew that there was no way to worry about this matter just because of the urgency. Technology could not be rushed, and he could only rely on continuous research to do it little by little. But he really felt a sense of crisis now. At the current development speed of China, oil and energy may not be supported for long.

He shook his head, temporarily driving the question out of his mind, and signaling everyone to continue.

The next person who spoke was Academician Chen Xuecheng. His research direction is similar to Xu Chunli, and it is also related to atmospheric and environmental protection. However, his research is more specific. The current topic is how to further improve the filtration efficiency of the "three-in-one filter" installed on a car.

There are more and more cars in China, and automobile exhaust emissions are one of the important reasons for air pollution. The high-energy battery plan can fundamentally solve this problem, but it is far from real civil use, so his research can be effective quickly.

Academician Chen cleared his throat and said in a loud voice: "Let me briefly talk about the progress of the work I am responsible for. The research on the latest generation of automotive ternary filters has been basically completed. We have conducted experimental tests of the three types. The results show that compared with the traditional ternary filter, this filter has increased efficiency by 45% in filtering harmful substances in the tail steam. It should be said that if it can be widely promoted, it can effectively alleviate the environmental problems caused by the rapid growth of cars."

Academician Chen's speech immediately attracted a burst of applause in the small conference room. After hearing this, Minister Xu's eyes softened, and finally heard good news.

He nodded and said, "This achievement is very important. I will report to the State Council as soon as possible and strive for the country to vigorously promote it as soon as possible."

After hearing his words, Academician Chen nodded, but then said: "The support from the state is foreseeable, but if it is truly implemented, I think the resistance will not be small. We have calculated the cost. The cost of this new filter after mass production is about 20,000 yuan, which is basically the same as the previous filter. For newly-factored cars, we can of course require the manufacturer to install it forcibly, but for those cars that have already left the factory and run on the road, we have no good idea. After all, the owners of the car won't spend a separate amount of money to exchange for this thing."

Academician Chen's words also made the academicians nod. Although these people are devoted to research, they do not mean that they do not understand the social situation and the worldly style. Generally speaking, people who have achieved great academic achievements will not have a very low emotional intelligence. Even if Academician Chen doesn't say this, everyone can think of it.

Minister Xu nodded and said, "There will definitely be a problem, but we can't take too much care. Let the environmental protection department solve it. If it really doesn't work, use coercive measures. After all, if this continues, it will definitely not work!"

After the discussion on this topic was concluded, several academicians reported on the progress of their research. Among them, some of them were practical technologies closely related to people's livelihood, while others were purely cutting-edge theoretical research. Everyone reported in detail. The 13th Five-Year Plan is about to end, and these topics have come to an end, and the results have been achieved are very significant.

After listening to everyone's speeches, Minister Xu made a final summary. He said with a smile: "Everyone has worked hard for this period of time, and the next battle is about to end. We must work harder and strive to deliver a satisfactory answer to the country at the end of the 13th Five-Year Plan. Finally, I will talk about a relatively special situation in the area I have studied. I need to explain it to you here..."

Xu Chunli said, and told the academicians about the situation before and after Chu Yang came to him yesterday.

He said it very specifically and in an orderly manner, from Chu Yang being recommended by the State Council to Chu Yang’s personal information and finally to Chu Yang’s request, he explained everything to everyone.

After this incident was said, a strange look appeared on the faces of the academicians.

These people have been doing scientific research for life, and their firm belief in science has been integrated into their bones. What they hear now is obviously a layer of superstition and fantasy, which is difficult for everyone to accept for a while.

"Minister, why is this so mysterious when I heard what you said? A young man in his twenties is studying in a music school? Can he solve the smog problem?" An academician in his forties, wearing black-framed glasses, asked with some amusement.

"Yes, I won't say it if I'm young, and the major I studied is not a good match. And his request is also very strange. Why do you need so much jade? Do you open a jewelry store? I really can't think of what the relationship between controlling haze and jade." Academician Chen, who just spoke, said.

The other dozen academicians also expressed their opinions on this matter. Although each person has different perspectives, the general meaning is similar, that is, they think this matter is too unreliable.

Minister Xu looked at everyone's speeches and kept listening. This situation was also expected by him.

He waited for everyone to say it, then cleared his throat and said, "Actually, my mood is similar to everyone. At first I thought this was a bit incredible. However, Comrade Chu Yang was recommended by the State Council. I think since the country has already recognized it, it is not really necessary to send us a charlatan and liar."

"That's not necessarily true. More than 20 years ago, those who practice qigong dared to fool even the national leaders." Academician Liu interrupted.

Hearing his words, the academicians nodded again. They had all experienced that era.

"Minister Xu, has Chu Yang explained to you the operating principle of his system?" an old academician asked.

"No, I asked him this question too. He didn't want to answer it at the time. At first, I thought it involved core technology, but he told me that there are some principles in this system that are not within the current scope of natural science mastery, so it cannot be explained." Minister Xu said.

"The more I hear this, the more I look like a charlatan. Lao Xu, you won't really want to follow this young man's method, more than 100 tons of jade, even if it is a C-grade jade of low quality, it will cost more than one billion." The old academician who just spoke reminded.

After hearing what he said, Minister Xu, who had originally planned to try it according to the method Chu Yang said, showed hesitation in his eyes. After all, even if the Chinese Academy of Sciences does not need to pay the money to buy jade, it is still the country's money.

"I'll call the comrades from the State Council now and confirm it again." Xu Chunli said, without hesitation, picked up his cell phone and started calling on the spot.

This action also fully reflects the responsibility and frankness that a scientific researcher should have. If it were a meeting attended by many officials, I am afraid that the call would be called and would not be called in front of so many people.

The phone was quickly connected, and a polite male voice came from the other end.

"Hello, Minister Xu, is there anything wrong?" the staff member on the other end of the phone asked politely.

Leaders of important national technical departments like them have telephone registrations from the General Office of the State Council, so Xu Chunli called in a phone call. Before he could speak, the opposite side knew his identity.

"That's right. Comrade Chu Yang had already reported to us yesterday and also talked to me about his plan. But I still have some questions and want to confirm with the leader again. I don't know if it's convenient." Xu Chunli asked directly.

"Okay, Minister Xu, please wait. I'll help you contact you now." The staff member said politely on the other end of the phone.

In less than a minute, the sound from the other end of the phone rang again.

"Minister Xu, the leader will speak to you."

Hearing this sentence, Minister Xu immediately cheered up.

"Hello, Prime Minister, I am Xu Chunli. Yes, it's about that Chu Yang. Yes, yes, okay, I understand, I guarantee to complete the task!"

After a conversation, it took less than half a minute, but after putting down the phone, the doubts in Minister Xu's eyes disappeared.

Looking at everyone's eyes looking forward to the answer, he said directly: "The leader's instructions should be taken care of by all means to cooperate with Comrade Chu Yang's work at all costs!"

At all costs! What does these words mean when you say them from leaders of this level? The answer is obviously self-evident!

All the suspicion and contempt in everyone's eyes just now were wiped out, and replaced by incomparable concentration!

"Next, I announce that the Ministry of Technology and Science has established a special leadership group for the haze control plan, and I personally take charge of the team leader. All the research work at hand is temporarily put down and incorporated into the group to carry out the work!" Minister Xu's voice was firm! xh211
