The expedition team arrived at the foot of the Golcoya, which is 4,982 meters above sea level.

At the foot of the mountain there are several ravines such as Koshigoyagonma, Koshigama, and Yagama, and the blue spring water gushes out of the ravines.

These streams were very narrow, and Shen Qi stepped over as soon as he took a step.

It is these small streams that originate from the Yellow River, which flows to the sea and never returns, and they are the source of the Yellow River.

"The source of the rolling Yellow River turned out to be a few trickles. This is the first time Shen Qi has come to the source of the Yellow River, he knelt by the stream, held a scoop of glacier source water in both hands, and tasted it, which was quite cool.

The expedition team did not come here just to take a sip of pure water, but also to have a significant impact on the atmospheric circulation of East Asia and the world.

Moreover, the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is the birthplace of China's major rivers, and its snowcover, precipitation, water resources and other aspects have extremely high scientific research value.

The three rivers in the source of the three rivers refer to the Yangtze River, the Yellow River, and the Lancang River, of which the Yangtze River and the Yellow River flow within the territory of China.

The Lancang-Mekong River flows through China, Myanmar, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam, and its upper reaches are within China.

The expedition team is camped here, and scholars of various specialties collect their own scientific research data.

Shen Qi has learned a wide range of things, from Xining to Maduo to the source of the Yellow River, and along the way he has collected real data on various aspects, including water resources and water environment, climate and ecological environment, rodent infestation and grassland degradation, precious wildlife, disorderly development of resources, social and economic development, and local people's livelihood.

Xu Zhou's research focuses on global warming, and he calculates it based on observations from stations in the central and eastern plateaus, satellite inversion and data collected in the field, and uses mathematical and physical formulas.

"Professor Shen, please ask a professional question, which drag coefficient in this formula is appropriate?" Xu Zhou sat cross-legged outside the tent, operating his laptop.

The overall dynamics formula of surface heat on the plateau was proposed 30 years ago, and different scholars choose different thermodynamic drag coefficients in the formula, resulting in great differences in the calculation results of surface heat on the plateau.

At present, there are two mainstream views in the academic community, one is to consider the influence of atmospheric stability and surface thermal roughness, and include diurnal variation information. Second, based on empirical research, the drag coefficient is set as a constant.

The influence of plateau thermodynamic effects on weather and climate has always been an important research content of plateau meteorology, and Shen Qi, who was also operating his laptop, asked Xu Zhou: "What do you think?"

"I feel that both mainstream algorithms are flawed, but my theoretical level is limited, and I can't derive new algorithms. Xu Zhou looked at Shen Qi and humbly asked the top experts in mathematics and physics.

"The world is experiencing climate change characterized by warming, and the warming effect is more pronounced in the plateau region. Is there an intrinsic relationship between the changes in the surface heat source and snow cover on different time scales? What are the similarities and differences between the two physical processes affecting the Asian summer monsoon? Can the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, due to its unique geographical location, counteract global warming?" Shen Qi asked.

"I ......" Xu Zhou couldn't keep up with Shen Qi's imaginative and elegant thoughts for a while.

"It's not a question of new algorithms, it's a question of new concepts. In the new conceptual system, any algorithm is completely new to the current algorithm. Shen Qi showed Xu Zhou a sketch on the computer, which was a very simple two-dimensional coordinate system, marked with five points, (0,1), (0,-1), (1,0), (-1,0), (0,0), (0,0).

The four points on the two axes are marked by Shen Qi as A, B, C, D, and (0, 0) as O.

A, B, C, and D are connected to form a square, and the two diagonal lines of the square intersect at O.

Xu Zhou remained silent, he knew that what Shen Qi was showing now was definitely not junior high school math knowledge, and there would be something to talk about.

Shen Qi taps on the keyboard, and the positions A, B, C, and D on the computer screen show four different formulas.

Xu Zhou had never seen these formulas or equations before, and he felt both familiar and unfamiliar: "The formulas of (0,1) and (0,-1) are variants of the N-S equation?"

Shen Qi nodded: "That's right, but it still needs to be improved." ”

Xu Zhou asked curiously: "What about (1,0) and (-1,0)?"

"They represent the chaotic formula and the turbulent formula of complexity, respectively. Shen Qi tapped the keyboard again, and the pattern on the computer switched to a world map, with A, B, C, and D marked on the South Pole, the North Pole, a point on the equator, and Mount Everest.

Xu Zhou was shocked, he realized something: "After the unification of mathematics and physics, it will be the unification of the earth? What does the O point represent, and what is the formula of the O point?"

Shen Qi closed his laptop: "The O point represents the entire ocean, and as for its expression or elaboration system, I haven't found any clue yet. Let's leave it empty, it's just my hobby anyway. ”

Xu Zhou: "Your hobby is to rule the earth?"

Shen Qi shook his head and smiled, and then told Xu Zhou: "The drag coefficient of the overall dynamics formula of surface sensible heat on the plateau, you can choose the constant setting for the time being, this algorithm does not seek merit but no fault, and you will not be denied when you write a scientific research report." ”

“OK。 Xu Zhou took note of Shen Qi's suggestion and asked, "After the scientific expedition to the source of the Yellow River, will you go to the source of the Yangtze River and the source of the Lancang River with us?"

"I want to go to Mount Everest, but unfortunately you don't have a plan to climb it. ”

The expedition team's journey to the source of the Yellow River ended successfully, and they returned to Maduo County to rest and replenish supplies.

Xu Zhou will continue to lead the team to the source of the Yangtze River and the source of the Lancang River, and Shen Qi will go to Xining, and then return to the capital.

Shen Qi has too many things to write about this trip to the plateau, including scientific and theoretical research, ecological environment, and social, political and economic ......

Shen Qi didn't know how to classify it, so he simply named the research report "Comprehensive Investigation Report on the Headwaters of the Yellow River".

Ou Ye looked at Shen Qi, whose skin was dark and red, and asked, "Enough waves?"

Shen Qi smiled: "Enough waves, thank you for your wife's understanding and support." ”

Ou Ye: "Then now I will go out to wave, and you will take the baby at home." ”

Shen Qi asked, "Where are you going?"

Ouye: "Switzerland, the high-end forum of global number theory. ”

"Yes, Professor Ou. Shen Qi is happy for his wife, and Ou Ye is now also a well-known scholar in the international number theory community.

Ou Ye went abroad to participate in high-end academic forums, and Shen Qi worked while taking the baby, half professor and half dad.

Shen Nuofei is one year old, and she stays quietly in Shen Qi's study, watching her father work at the desk.

"Good guy Nofi, I'll do it right away, I'll take you out to play. Under the supervision of his daughter, Shen Qi worked extremely efficiently, and he worked hard to complete today's work tasks.
