"What are the two?"

Liu Feng turned his head in confusion.

To be honest, we do think we are very famous, but we don’t know anyone on the road. I think this person in front of us is another big shot!

"Sorry, little brother, look at my memory!" A leading middle-aged man patted his head and said annoyed, "You were chatting with that guy Lian Xuewen just now, and I thought you were a disciple of Lian Xuewen. Now that I remember, isn't the little brother Liu Feng who published 8 papers in natural chemistry? I've seen your photos before, and it turns out that he is a talented person."

We're sorry to say it!

Liu Feng touched his head and was about to be used to humble words, the young man next to the middle-aged man took the conversation: "My name is Wei Erdong, I am studying for a doctorate at Tianda University. This is my boss Professor Wang Shichang. His main research direction is multi-level flash evaporation technology for seawater desalination."

"Oh, it turns out it was Wei and Professor Wang. I'm lucky to be happy!"

It turns out that they are also traveling from different directions!

Liu Feng stepped forward and shook hands with the two.

Professor Wang Shichang: "The little brother's research on reverse osmosis membrane materials is really amazing. In China, it is definitely a number one in this field! Even a group of foreigners have been completely compared by you. I admire you!"

Compared with the previous professor Lian Xuewen, Liu Feng could fully feel the sincerity in his tone.

I will give it back ten times how others treat me, so Liu Feng also said politely: "Professor Wang is too famous, and some minor achievements make you laugh..."

Perhaps seeing that Liu Feng was tired, Professor Wang Shichang did not continue chatting with him: "I am humble, little brother. In this way, I have time to chat later, so I won't bother you now; if you go and do your business, don't worry about us."

"Okay." Liu Feng was also happy. He felt too sleepy. He didn't go to bed and had a good night's sleep. He was listless and had no shame to meet someone later.

...

The check-in time was only one morning, and the meeting started at exactly 14 o'clock, but it was just 13 o'clock now, and the conference room was already crowded and full.

The participants in this desalination conference were not only professors from Tianda and Zhejiang University, but also professors from 985 universities such as Shuimu, Jingda and Tongji, as well as professors from a group of 211 science and technology strong schools such as Dalian Polytechnic and organic synthesis, as well as engineers from seawater desalination companies such as Beidouxing, etc., also participated in the conference.

Therefore, the scale of the conference is not small, and it has even expanded a lot compared to previous years.

Unlike formal academic conferences, this desalination conference is semi-academic and semi-official. It is not just a simple exchange of the most cutting-edge research results at home and abroad. The most important thing is to discuss specific research and development directions; as for the topic of discussion, it can be seen from the lineup of the participants that it is naturally a seawater desalination project.

A month before the desalination conference, Liu Feng published 8 papers on seawater desalination reverse osmosis membrane materials in a row, directly expanding the technology in this field for more than ten years. Naturally, it received deep attention from the audience.

Before the meeting officially started, he met dozens of seniors in a row, including many major experts in the industry. They all came to meet him like little bees attracted by honey.

Fortunately, Principal Tan was thinking, otherwise he would not be able to deal with it.

"How is it, boy, how do you feel?" The principal asked with another group of people, and the principal looked at Liu Feng with a smile.

"It's not so good, why not stay in the laboratory for experiments!" Liu Feng only felt tired. He admired the principal's ease. There are so many people, each of them can chat and laugh with others, perfectly showing the image of Huada, and indirectly increasing the influence of Huada.

In the countdown to the dozens of minutes before the meeting, the voices of discussion gradually decreased, replaced by serious expressions on their faces.

Sitting in the seat with his famous brand, Liu Feng looked at Principal Tan beside him. Seeing that he was also taking advantage of the time before the meeting started, he observed the expressions on his peers' faces.

Overall, it is a bit like the dawn before the battlefield, quiet.

At about 150 p.m., Mr. Zhou and Zhang SHU next to him exchanged a few words in a low voice. Seeing that the people were almost there, he straightened the microphone, cleared his throat and spoke.

"Okay, everyone. Since everyone has arrived, then we should not waste our precious time in waiting."

So, the conference room suddenly became quiet, and everyone stopped whispering completely, waiting for Mr. Zhou to continue.

"Everyone knows that the growing shortage of water is a major issue facing the world today. The emergence of climate change, the growing demand for limited water from agriculture, industry and cities, and the expansion of pollution in many areas have accelerated the water crisis.

According to UN data, by 2025, two-thirds of the world's population may live in water shortages. Even in our country, 500 million people will experience water shortages at that time!

More than 70% of the earth's area is oceans, and freshwater only accounts for 5% of the earth's water resources. Therefore, seawater desalination projects are completely necessary and urgently needed!

In fact, as early as the first meeting, the senior executives of the capital had decided to make seawater desalination a key development direction, but everyone's wisdom is still needed to solve more specific technical problems.

The main issues discussed in this meeting are the direction and ideas of seawater desalination. If you have any good opinions, I hope everyone can speak enthusiastically, put forward their opinions, brainstorm and find a development path that suits our country's national conditions."

At the meeting, Mr. Zhou gave a brief opening remark as the meeting host.

On the surface, this meeting seemed to be just a discussion on the route of seawater desalination, but in fact, the trick here is far from that simple, involving the allocation of personnel and funding.

After all, the scientific research funding of the country and enterprises is limited, and not all projects can apply for sufficient research funding.

Generally speaking, if the country decides the general direction of seawater desalination, for example, the general direction is reverse osmosis method, then other methods, such as multi-stage flash evaporation, distillation, etc., will be supported, and basically all resources and funds will be tilted towards reverse osmosis method.

In the previous few desalination conferences, the country's general direction has always been in parallel and blooming at multiple points. Now this time, the reverse osmosis method, especially the concentrated polyamide composite reverse osmosis membrane developed by Liu Feng, has formed a relatively huge advantage for other methods. So this time, will the reverse osmosis method seize all resources and stand out?

This is the topic that the participants are most concerned about and worried about.

After all, officials basically do not understand academic knowledge. When making decisions, they often refer to the opinions of industry experts, and then formulate a macro direction to give priority to ensuring that the topics in this direction can receive sufficient research funds.

From a personal perspective, I naturally hope that my research direction can get more support. Because of this, the atmosphere before the meeting started was very depressing.

The first speaker was Professor Wu Qingquan from Shuimu.
