The selection of additional academicians takes place every two years, almost always in odd-numbered years.

This year’s nominations for academician co-optation candidates ended on March 31, which means submissions of candidates for academician co-option will no longer be accepted.

The first round of review is now being held to select effective candidates.

According to the procedures and procedures, each academic department selected the valid candidates of their respective departments, and finally a total of 533 valid candidates were determined. The list of these 533 valid candidates was announced soon after it came out.

Every academician selection process attracts much attention. After all, academician is the highest academic title in science and technology. Naturally, people will look at it with a magnifying glass, and inevitably they will wear some colored glasses and have conspiracy theories.

The one that caused the most uproar recently was the election of Academician Xie to the Academy of Engineering in 2011, which caused an uproar and was called the 'Tobacco Academician' by public opinion!

If anyone can compare with this, we have to count the ‘baijiu academicians’ who have been there for several years!

Academician Liu does not comment on these, because they are reasonable and compliant, and they are not inconsistent with the academician selection. It is just that ordinary people cannot accept it.

When Academician Liu returned to Shuixian Port, a piece of news caused quite a stir in the world, that is, China's first successful trial mining of flammable ice in the sea.

Combustible ice, whose scientific name is natural gas hydrate, is an ice-like crystalline substance formed by natural gas and water under high pressure and low temperature conditions. Because it looks like ice and ignites when exposed to fire, it is called 'combustible ice' or 'solid gas'.

' and 'air ice'.

Combustible ice is distributed in the deep sea or terrestrial permafrost. After burning, it only generates a small amount of carbon dioxide and water. Its pollution is much less than that of coal, oil, etc., and its reserves are huge. Therefore, it is internationally recognized as an alternative energy source to oil.

Since the 1950s, combustible ice has attracted the attention of major countries in the world. Some countries represented by the United States, Japan, Germany, China, Goguryeo, etc. have formulated research plans for the exploration and development of combustible ice. No one wants to be involved in the field of combustible ice.

Lagging behind others, flammable ice has become a long-term research hotspot in the oil and gas industry.

According to research, the global combustible ice resources are 20 trillion tons of oil equivalent, and the combustible ice resources in my country's seas reach 80 billion tons of oil equivalent. There are very rich combustible ice resources in the South China Sea. Once flammable ice can be collected, then China will By getting rid of external dependence on energy, energy security will no longer be a curse for China.

This time, my country's trial mining of flammable ice in the Shenhu Sea Area in the northern part of the South China Sea was successful. The trial mining operation area is located in the Shenhu Sea Area 320 kilometers southeast of ZH City. The first trial production well was drilled on March 28 and will continue until May. The ignition was successful in the middle of the year, and combustible ice was mined from combustible ice deposits 203 to 277 meters below the seabed with a water depth of 1,266 meters, and the daily production exceeded 10,000 cubic meters on the first day.

The successful trial mining of combustible ice is of great significance and cannot be overestimated. Although it is currently in the trial mining research stage and cannot be used for mass production market applications, it has laid a solid foundation for the next step of work. Maybe something

When technology breaks through, flammable ice can replace oil and become a new energy source.

Liu Yichen did not pay much attention to this matter, because it will not be implemented for at least five years and will not change the energy situation. As the number of new energy vehicles in China continues to increase, although China's oil imports are still growing, the growth rate has already

Slowed down.

Now, the first phase of Shuixian Nuclear Power Plant has been completed and put into operation. This phase of the project has built a total of 6 units with an installed capacity of 7.5 million kilowatts and an annual power generation of more than 52.5 billion kilowatt hours, which has greatly alleviated the power shortage in southern Fujian.

There is no need to suffer power outages from time to time in rural areas and cities and towns. In the next five years, southern Fujian will no longer be short of electricity.

Coupled with the medium and large reservoirs under construction in Fujian Province and the two nuclear power plants in Fuqing and Ningde, the power demand in Fujian Province can be fully guaranteed in the next 15 years.

Among them, Fuqing Nuclear Power Plant started construction in 2008, and now all six units are completed and operating to generate electricity, with a total annual power generation of 45 billion kilowatt hours. Ningde Nuclear Power Plant started construction in 2008, and four units have been completed, with an annual power generation of 300 kWh.

billion kilowatt hours, and Ningde Nuclear Power Plant is currently applying for the second phase project and wants to build two more units.

It is precisely because of these three nuclear power plants that thermal power plants have completely withdrawn from Fujian Province, and the entire Fujian Province has formed an energy pattern dominated by nuclear power and hydropower, supplemented by wind power.

The complete completion of Narcissus Nuclear Power Plant is only one piece of good news. Another good news is that Narcissus Port Subway Line 1 has been completed and put into operation. Narcissus Port Line 1 Subway connects the current main areas of Narcissus Port, which will make the area located in the subway station area

People have one more choice when traveling. They no longer have to wait for buses or take taxis, but can choose to take the subway.

After all, the subway will not be jammed or delayed, and it is the safest.

On the first day that the subway opened, people chose to try taking the subway. The subway was overcrowded, and the subway price was also quite cheap. It only cost 5 yuan from beginning to end. Although it was five times more expensive than the 1 yuan bus trip, people liked it more.

subway.

When Line 2 and Line 3 of the Narcissus Port Metro are completed and opened, the subway network will basically cover the main area of ​​Narcissus Port, which can greatly ease the ground traffic. However, it will take about three years for Metro Line 2 and Line 3 to be completed and opened.

It has just been completed. However, the subway connection line between Narcissus Port and Narcissus City will be completed in the middle of next year. By then, the driving time from Narcissus Port to Narcissus City will be shortened from one hour to 30 minutes, doubling the time.

Three days after the opening of Narcissus Port Metro Line 1, good news spread throughout Narcissus City and Ludao, that is, the undersea tunnel was officially completed and put into trial operation.

The completion of this undersea tunnel means that it only takes 10 minutes to go from Narcissus Port to Ludao without traffic jams, which is a significant reduction in time from the original one hour.

Even those who live in Narcissus City and work in Ludao, or those who live in Ludao and work in Narcissus Port, no longer need to be called weekend couples. Couples at Kowloon University and Ludao University are no longer in a long-distance relationship.

And this also represents that the process of integration of the Southern Fujian Golden Triangle has been accelerated.

Liu Yichen was in a good mood under these good news. Narcissus Port has developed rapidly in recent years. With the two development engines of Kowloon Era and Kowloon University, as well as many high-tech enterprises, Narcissus Port has full development potential.

It has promoted the development of surrounding areas. The two surrounding areas, Longhai and Gimpo, have also developed very fast in recent years.

If this continues, maybe within a few years, Narcissus Port's GDP will successfully exceed one trillion and successfully enter the club of cities with a trillion GDP.

During this period, Kowloon Water Group has achieved remarkable results. It has signed a cooperation agreement with the Ludao City Government to invest in the construction of two modern seawater denaturation plants with a daily water supply capacity of 500,000 m³/d in Ludao. The water supply price is 1

Ton is 2.5 yuan, which means that after the completion of the construction of these two seawater treatment plants, the annual revenue can reach 913 million!

In recent years, with the development of society, urban construction has become faster and faster, and water consumption has also increased day by day. Except for Licheng, which is better, Ludao is suffering from water shortage.

After all, Ludao is a small area and there are few medium-sized reservoirs that can be used as water sources. The local water source of Ludao alone can only meet one-tenth of the water consumption of Ludao!

Nowadays, Ludao's annual water consumption has reached 700 million tons. Most of the water is diverted from the Jiulong River in Shuixian City, and a water purchase fee is paid.

But now, Ludao's water consumption is still rising. Originally, Ludao planned to build a heavy-duty reservoir in Changtai as a water source, but now the Kowloon Water Group has provided a brand new solution - a seawater densification water plant!

Although the construction of the Changtai Fangyang Water Conservancy Project is almost complete, it will be completed in another three to four years. This project is known as the second water supply source project of Ludao and can supply more than 200 million cubic meters of water to Ludao every year.

, but this can only satisfy the short-term water supply security of Ludao.

The sea water treatment plant is different. The water plant can be built directly where it is needed and water can be supplied nearby.

Liu Yichen learned that the Kowloon Water Group is also negotiating with TJ City, Modu, Pengcheng, and Yangcheng to build seawater denaturation water plants. However, compared with its neighbor Ludao City, the negotiation process in these four first-tier cities is not as fast as

So smooth.

However, the Kowloon Water Group is not in a hurry, because the bionic membrane production of the Kowloon Water Group also takes time, coupled with the construction of the management team and the arrangement of funds, it cannot be achieved overnight.

Of course, the biggest surprise comes from the affiliated hospitals. In the first five months of this year, the affiliated hospitals treated a total of 300,000 myopia patients with Chinese patent medicines for the treatment of myopia, with a revenue of 3 billion yuan. The annual revenue from this item will reach

At about 8 billion yuan, the profit is extremely considerable.

It is also relying on this that it is enough for the affiliated hospital to join the ranks of the hospitals with the strongest revenue in the country. The affiliated hospital, which originally planned to expand in a few years, is now officially planning ahead and starting negotiations with Narcissus City to build a new hospital in Narcissus City.

An affiliated hospital was established in Wen District.

After all, with the money-printing machine of Chinese patent medicines for treating myopia, the affiliated hospitals are not short of money. It is expected that the revenue in this area will reach a higher level again next year.

Jiulong Biotechnology Co., Ltd. has attracted much attention in the investment market with its proprietary Chinese medicines for the treatment of myopia. Many people have expressed their desire to invest in Jiulong Biotechnology Co., Ltd. Unfortunately, Jiulong Biotechnology Co., Ltd.’s external responses have always been that they have no shortage of funds. In a short time,

No plans to accept outside investment.

The development of the Kowloon system has also attracted widespread attention from the outside world. People studied the Kowloon companies and found one thing in common, that is, each of the Kowloon companies has a core technology. The core technology gives the company great competitiveness.

Moreover, these core technologies are useless to outsiders.

In addition to the slogan cash is king, many success masters have begun to shout the slogan "technology is king".

At this time, Kowloon University exudes a sense of solemnity. Undergraduate students are preparing for graduation exams or graduation projects and graduation thesis, and graduate students are carefully preparing for thesis defense. For these graduate students, whether they are master's students or doctoral students, they are not

There is a lack of thesis results, but how to pass the thesis defense is a problem.

The undergraduate graduation project and graduation thesis defense will be held in mid-June, and the graduate thesis defense will be held on June 20.

As for graduation photos and graduation ceremonies, they are scheduled for June 29th and June 30th respectively.

Graduation ceremonies for undergraduates and graduate students are held separately.

There are a lot more people in the library than usual. Many people who don't usually go to the library now go to the library to look up information.

As for the affiliated middle school, the atmosphere is even more tense at this time, because the annual college entrance examination is approaching, and there is less than a month left before the college entrance examination. The psychology professor of Kowloon University goes to the affiliated middle school from time to time to hold seminars to help senior high school students.

Relieve stress. Some college students will also be invited to tell high school seniors about their college entrance examination experiences.

Compared with the entrance examination and the high school entrance examination, there is no doubt that the college entrance examination carries a greater proportion and has a greater impact on life. It is not an exaggeration to say that one exam will determine your life.

If you don't do well in the entrance examination, it's not a big problem. If you work hard in middle school, you have a chance to make up for it. If you don't do well in the high school entrance examination, there are no opportunities to make up for it. Every year, many people in ordinary high schools complete a counterattack and get admitted to 985/211 universities.

But if you don't do well in the college entrance examination and go to a junior college or a third-rate university, it will be very difficult to counterattack.

For children from rich families, maybe the college entrance examination is not important. If they don’t do well in the college entrance examination, the worst they can do is spend money to study abroad. Anyway, even if they go to some pheasant universities, they will never know about overseas universities in China after they return to China. No one knows the quality of the universities where they study abroad.

.

But for ordinary families, this is different, because ordinary families cannot afford the high cost of studying abroad.

Getting into a good university not only means you can enjoy good educational resources, but also means cheap education costs. The annual tuition fee is only three to five thousand yuan. And if you study in a junior college or a so-called second-tier college, not only do you have very low educational resources,

No, the annual tuition fee is 20,000 to 30,000 yuan.

Spend more money and enjoy worse services, these are the average universities!

At this time, Liu Yichen also went to the affiliated middle school for a walk and gave one or two lectures. Liu Yichen also paid great attention to these students who were about to take the college entrance examination.

Although the original intention of establishing the affiliated kindergarten, affiliated primary school, and affiliated middle school is to provide education for the children of faculty and staff, it is undeniable that the educational resources are top-notch, and they also occupy the first place in various rankings in Narcissus City. Every year, the affiliated school

The limited places in kindergartens, affiliated primary schools, and affiliated middle schools are always snapped up, and many even offer prices of 500,000 yuan a year. As for the high school departments of the affiliated middle schools, their annual independent enrollment and unified examinations attract the attention of the whole province.

look.

There are 3,000 high school students in each class, of which 50 are recommended to Kowloon University, 30 to Shuimu, 15 to Yanch University, 30 to Fudan University... The quotas for admission to major prestigious schools every year are sufficient.

There are 300 students, which means that as long as they enter the high school section of the affiliated middle school, 10% of the places will be recommended to prestigious schools.

In the college entrance examination, there are also not a few students who take the college entrance examination from the affiliated middle schools and enter prestigious schools.

Liu Yichen gave two lectures at the affiliated middle school. The lectures did not talk about too advanced things, but were more about communication, getting along with the students, and relieving the pressure of the candidates.

By this time, although in theory we are in the final sprint for the college entrance examination, in fact the school has gradually relaxed the pressure it puts on students. The daily classes are more about keeping students in shape, and in their spare time they are more organized
