Zhou Lao's question is indeed quite abrupt.

Generally speaking, except for the above-funded projects that need to be registered and reviewed, and are easy to be known, other projects are either related to national defense secrecy, or involve commercial competition, or even the subject of one's own private research, which is generally not easily discovered by others, let alone actively informed others.

Anyone like Zhou Lao who took the initiative to inquire could simply be regarded as a person with ulterior motives, and in the research field related to national defense science and technology, he could even be directly arrested and tortured.

Although Liu Feng's subject has always been the research of reverse osmosis membrane materials related to water treatment, the specific research direction and even the progress of the research are only known to him, even his mentor Duan Xue, who is not very clear!

Therefore, subconsciously, Liu Feng frowned. No one wants the subject they are researching independently to be easily discovered by outsiders.

It's just that when he saw Zhou Laoruo's meaningful gaze, coupled with Zhang Shuji's pointed ears on the side and Principal Tan's suggestive eyes towards Zhang Shuji, he was thoughtful.

It seems that Zhou Lao's question is not only his personal inquiry, but also Zhang Shuji's inquiry, and even an inquiry at the government level.

The potential of water treatment, especially seawater desalination treatment, is definitely a major issue related to the national economy and people's livelihood. Even now, even for a long time in the future, seawater desalination technology has not reached the stage of universal application and promotion;

Liu Feng thought about it, but decided to answer truthfully.

"Old Zhou, to be honest, although I can't continue to break through in the area of polyamide materials. But there is more to reverse osmosis membrane material than just polyamide! In my opinion, the future of this road is still relatively clear compared to other desalination directions. Liu Feng couldn't help but straighten his chest, raised his eyes to look at the three masters, and his face was full of confidence, "Moreover, in less than three months, a new reverse osmosis membrane material is about to be released, and for the water treatment industry, its emergence will undoubtedly cause a new industrial revolution......

……

The next day, the annual desalination conference officially entered the opening time.

Generally speaking, such a large-scale meeting will basically sign in one day in advance, or even simply use the first day of the meeting to arrange for sign-in, the purpose of which is not only to allow people from all walks of life to flexibly arrange the time, but also to provide a time for relevant colleagues to communicate and communicate in advance.

The same was true for this year's Asia-Pacific Desalination Conference.

In the morning, after hastily solving breakfast, Liu Feng wiped his mouth with a tissue and got up to go back to the room.

The bed in the five-star hotel is actually far more comfortable and comfortable than all the places he has ever slept in, but Liu Feng is a hillbilly who entered the city, and he has never slept on such a soft and wide bed, and he naturally didn't sleep well last night!

He yawned, and just as he was about to walk to the elevator, someone suddenly greeted him and walked over with a familiar smile.

"Hello, hello, you are Liu Feng!"

"Hmm, yes, you are?" Liu Feng glanced at him suspiciously, this person—he didn't have any impression at all.

"Li Chenghe, a doctoral student at Jiangsu and Zhejiang University," this person took the initiative to hold Liu Feng's hand, smiled, and admired his face, "I have read your papers published in natural chemistry, and I have considered every paragraph, and even every word for a long time, and I am ashamed of myself!"

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, where is there a big name, fortunately, I will be lucky!" Liu Feng smiled embarrassedly. This person must be his fan!

Although he knew that his paper would definitely be carefully read and studied by many people, and maybe even gain a lot of fans, Liu Feng couldn't help but be a little embarrassed to meet one on such a high-end occasion.

Li Chenghe smiled, although he was caught off guard by several papers by Liu Feng, but the strength of others was indeed stronger than him, and he was also convinced, and continued to introduce the middle-aged man behind him to Liu Feng: "Let me introduce to you, this is Professor Lian Xuewen, my boss, and also a master engaged in seawater desalination, one of the popular candidates for academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences this year!"

Academician candidates? Not yet!

I don't know if it's an illusion, Liu Feng always felt that this Professor Lian's gaze at him was a little weird, and the indescribable aura was like a shadow.

Seeing Liu Feng looking at him, Lian Xuewen immediately smiled and said, "Hehe, what is big and not big, it's just an axe! As for the academician candidate, it's even more unreasonable! By the way, little brother, you are Liu Feng?"

"Yes!" Liu Feng nodded, but he was quite puzzled in his heart, is he a self-cooked?

"I've also read your papers, and they are indeed very level!"

Lian Xuewen nodded.

"Where, where, let Professor Lian laugh. You are a master in the field of domestic desalination, as a late learner, you have to ask the professor for advice in the future. ”

Liu Feng continued to be modest.

"Well, he is worthy of being a senior disciple of Academician Duan Xue! The young man is not arrogant or impatient, and he is much better than my inferior disciples. ”

Lian Xuewen praised Liu Feng first, and then changed his words and asked: "Do you think the direction of desalination is in the field of reverse osmosis membrane or in other fields?"

To be honest, Liu Feng didn't know much about this Professor Lian, and the two had never met before, and he didn't know who this Professor Lian was, so he didn't dare to say too much, at least, the words he had said in front of Zhou Lao and Zhang Shu Ji before couldn't be brought here.

"Professor, it's hard for you, I'm just an ordinary graduate student, how can I grasp this kind of thing? It's just that personally, I'm still more optimistic about the reverse osmosis membrane field......

"Really?"

Lian Xuewen asked with a smile.

"Yes!"

Liu Feng nodded affirmatively.

"That's good!"

Lian Xuewen seemed to be very satisfied, patted Liu Feng's shoulder, and said, "Young man, you are very good......!

The voice stopped abruptly, and he seemed to feel the sound of familiar footsteps not far behind him, and Lian Xuewen, who was about to continue to praise two sentences, suddenly looked back, and sure enough, he found the familiar figure, so a smiling face suddenly disappeared a little: "Young man, I still have something to do, so I won't delay you, we'll see you." Chenghe, let's go!"

Although Li Chenghe wanted to befriend Liu Feng, he didn't dare to disobey his professor. After hesitating for two seconds, he finally didn't say a word, glanced at Liu Feng, and hurriedly followed the professor.

Looking at Professor Lian's back, Liu Feng was slightly stunned.

This Professor Lian is really inexplicable, we are optimistic about the field of reverse osmosis membrane, we are very good? What is the reason......

Shaking his head, Liu Feng continued to walk towards the elevator.

At this time, someone was walking out of the elevator entrance.

"Little brother, I see that you are a little familiar, have we met somewhere?"

At the moment when he staggered past the two people in front of him, suddenly, Liu Feng heard someone around him stop him......
