"China's western region is rich in natural resources, and in the past, it was the western region that transmitted natural gas to the east and electricity from the west to the east. Now, the electric energy generated by the 'Light Point Project' will all serve the production, construction and civil needs of northwest Shaanxi, Gansu, Ningqing, Xinjiang and other provinces. ”

"Taking it from the sky, building it in the northwest, and using it in the northwest, an adequate energy supply is a necessary guarantee for the large-scale development of the western region. Therefore, the scientific and strategic significance of the 'Point of Light' is very important, and this plan cannot be missed. ”

"The site of the 'Point of Light Project' ground base is located here, and the state has done full research, and this is the most suitable location that is most suitable for China's situation. ”

"While we are developing the economy of the northwest, we must not cause irreversible damage to the ecological environment of the northwest. ”

"Here, I hope that the environmental monitoring team at the Northwest Base will always monitor the environmental data within the coverage of the 'Light Point Project' and continue to improve various emergency plans. ”

"Gold and silver mountains are not as good as lucid waters and lush mountains, which is the most basic national policy. ”

"Before the desert became a desert, it was also green water and green mountains. ”

"Restoring the desert to its original oasis is extremely difficult. However, it is our responsibility to prevent the continuous deterioration of the ecological environment in desert areas. ”

"In addition to the conventional emergency response plans for natural disasters such as earthquakes, mudslides, floods, and sandstorms, I would like to emphasize the prevention and emergency treatment of two types of disasters. ”

"One is the foehn. Second, there is the light disaster. ”

"So hard work everyone, the meeting is dismissed. ”

After Shen Qi returned to the Dunhuang command post, he held a meeting and gave important instructions on relevant matters.

After the meeting, the head of the environmental monitoring team stationed at the Northwest Base found Shen Qi alone, and the two drank tea, smoked cigarettes, and chatted.

The environmental expert's name is Wu Xinping, because he has been conducting scientific research activities outdoors for a long time, Wu expert's skin is dark, and the folds on his forehead reflect his concern for the country and the people: "Before joining the 'Light Point Project', I worked at the Capital Institute of Geophysics and Meteorology. At the beginning, I was very much against the 'Light Point Project' because it would have an impact on the environment. To this end, I wrote a report of more than 200 pages analysing the environmental damage that the 'Point of Light' could cause. ”

"When our director saw the report, he scolded me and said, 'Wu Xinping, who do you think you are? Such an important national decision and a plan personally signed and approved by the leader can be overturned just by writing a report?"

"I was in my thirties at the time, and I had a short temper, and I had a bit of a background at home, so I slapped the table and got into a fight with the director. Wu Xinping talked about his past, showing some emotion.

"It seems that the background of your old Wu family is bottomless. "Shen Qi knows that there are many bigwigs surnamed Wu in the various yamen in the capital, which Wu family is this black and non-slippery Wu Xinping?

A subordinate slapped the table and scolded the leader in the office, and after the first leader, not only was he not sanctioned, but he was promoted and entered the national key project team, Wu Xinping's background is obviously hard enough.

Wu Xinping is currently the head of the first section of environmental monitoring of the "Light Point Project", and his position is equivalent to that of the deputy director of the Capital Institute of Geophysics and Meteorology.

"In front of Academician Shen, I have a background or something, I am shallow. I mean, at that time, I was more impulsive, and I was not afraid to uphold my scientific ideas, and I did not offend the leadership. After the director, I was prepared for the worst, but instead of being criticized, punished, or excluded, I was recruited into the environmental monitoring department of the 'Point of Light' project, and my position and salary were improved. ”

"It was only a few years later that I learned that the director had recommended me to join the Environmental Monitoring Department of the Light Point Project. Why? Because I like to find fault and oppose the 'Light Point Project' in China. ”

"Since Wu Xinping has raised so many serious environmental problems to the 'Light Point Project', let Wu Xinping study and solve these problems--- this is the director's original words. ”

"In the blink of an eye, I have been working for the 'Point of Light' for more than ten years, I am almost 50 years old, and our director passed away due to illness two years ago. ”

"When the old director was leaving, he took my hand and told me to escort the 'Light Point Project', asking me to control my temper, have something to say, don't have conflicts with leaders and colleagues, everything is for science, for the country, and for the people. With that, he stopped breathing and was right in front of me. I cried all night that day. ”

Speaking of this, Wu Xinping couldn't help but be moved: "Too many people have paid for this plan, either directly or indirectly. When they die, only a few people know their names. Academician Shen said very well at the meeting just now, the 'Light Point Project' cannot be lost, and if it fails, I will spend the rest of my life in guilt." ”

"I would like to pay my highest respect to your old director Wei, who will surely bless us in heaven to complete our mission. Shen Qi listened to it and was also very emotional. Director Wei of the Capital Institute of Geophysics and Meteorology is indeed known to only a few people in the industry, and Shen Qi is one of them.

The older generation of scientific research workers has left us, and the younger scientific research workers have become old with the passage of time.

Stories like those of Director Wei Lao and Wu Xinping happen every day, either in the research institute, or in the laboratory, or at the construction site, or in the wilderness where the living conditions are extremely harsh.

The backbone of the country is not only the most famous scientist, but also countless grassroots scientific researchers who have silently contributed to support the backbone and pride of the entire country.

"When I get older, I become nostalgic. Wu Xinping smiled apologetically, and then said in a serious tone: "I have changed from an associate researcher who opposes the 'Light Point Project' to a director of the environmental monitoring department who firmly supports the 'Light Point Project', and I understand my responsibilities very well." My job has changed, but my heart has remained the same. I very much agree with the work instructions mentioned by Academician Shen at the meeting to improve the emergency plans for various natural disasters, and I will work with my colleagues to carry out follow-up work as soon as possible in accordance with Academician Shen's instructions. ”

"We have a relatively mature response system to natural disasters such as earthquakes, mudslides, floods, and sandstorms, and we will continue to improve them. We are still relatively weak in the prevention and emergency treatment of foehn and light disasters, after all, they rarely occur in China. It is precisely because of the extremely low frequency of occurrence that it deserves our attention. ”

"So please rest assured, Academician Shen, I will follow your instructions 100% and complete the tasks you assigned in the shortest possible time. ”

"It's just that there is a kind of disaster prevention and handling that is beyond the scope of my knowledge. I would like to ask Academician Shen, what should we do if this kind of disaster happens?"
