"Who are the two?"

Liu Feng turned his head suspiciously.

To be honest, we do think that we are very famous, but it is not to the point where everyone on the road knows themselves.

"I'm sorry, little brother, look at my memory!" A middle-aged man in the lead patted his head and said with annoyance, "You chatted with Lian Xuewen just now, I thought you were one of Lian Xuewen's apprentices." Now that I think about it, isn't the little brother Liu Feng who published 8 papers in natural chemistry in one go? I have seen your photos before, and he is indeed a talent. ”

We're embarrassed!

Liu Feng touched his head and was about to habitually be modest, when the young man next to the middle-aged man took over: "My name is Wei Erdong, I am studying for a doctorate at Tianda, this is my boss Professor Wang Shichang, and my main research direction is multi-stage flash evaporation technology for seawater desalination." ”

"Oh, it turned out to be Classmate Wei and Professor Wang, I'm glad to meet you!"

It turns out that they are also peers in different directions!

Liu Feng stepped forward and shook hands with the two.

Professor Wang Shichang: "Little Brother's research on reverse osmosis membrane materials is really amazing, as far as China is concerned, it is definitely the number one in this field! Even a group of gringos are completely compared to you, admire and admire!"

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

What others treat me, I will pay it back tenfold, so Liu Feng also said politely: "Professor Wang has a good reputation, and some small achievements make you laugh......

Perhaps seeing that Liu Feng was tired, Professor Wang Shichang did not continue to chat with him: "Little brother is humble. In this way, we will have time to talk later, and I will not bother you now; ”

"That's good. Liu Feng was also happy to be willing, he really felt too sleepy, and if he didn't go to sleep again, he would be listless for a while, and he wouldn't have a face.

……

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

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

As a result, the scale of the conference was not small, and it was even much larger than in previous years.

Different from the formal academic conference, this desalination conference is semi-academic and semi-official, not only a simple exchange of the most cutting-edge research results at home and abroad, but also the most important thing is to discuss the specific research and development direction; as for the topic of discussion, it can be seen from the lineup of participants, naturally seawater desalination engineering.

One month before the desalination conference, Liu Feng published 8 papers on seawater desalination reverse osmosis membrane materials, which directly expanded the technology in this field for more than ten years, and naturally attracted deep attention from the participants.

Before the official start of the meeting, he met dozens of peers in a row, including many experts in the industry, all of whom took the initiative to come to know him like little bees attracted by honey.

Fortunately, Principal Tan was on his side to help, otherwise he would never have been able to deal with it.

"How's it going, boy, how do you feel?" Dealing with another batch of manpower, the headmaster looked at Liu Feng with a smile and asked.

"It's not good, it's better to stay in the laboratory and do experiments!" Liu Feng only felt tired. He admired the principal's skill, so many people, each of them can talk and laugh with others, perfectly showing the image of Huada, and indirectly improving the influence of Huada.

In the last few minutes before the meeting began, the voices of the discussion gradually decreased, replaced by serious expressions.

Sitting on the seat with his name tag, Liu Feng looked at Principal Tan beside him, and saw that he was also waiting with a serious face and did not speak, so he simply took advantage of the time before the meeting to observe the expressions on the faces of his peers.

In general, a bit like the dawn before the battlefield, quiet.

At about 1:50 p.m., Zhou Lao and Zhang Shuji next to him whispered a few words, and when he saw that everyone was almost there, he straightened the microphone, cleared his throat and said.

"Yes, everybody. Now that everyone is here, let's not waste precious time waiting. ”

As a result, the conference room instantly fell silent, and everyone completely stopped whispering, waiting for Zhou Lao to continue.

"As we all know, increasing water scarcity is a major issue facing the world today. The emergence of climate change, the growing demand for limited water resources in agriculture, industry and cities, and the expansion of pollution in many areas have accelerated the water crisis.

According to the United Nations, by 2025, two-thirds of the world's population could be living in water-stressed conditions, and even in our country, 500 million people will be in water stress!

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

In fact, as early as the first meeting, the top management of Beijing has decided to take seawater desalination as the key development direction, but for how to solve more specific technical problems, we still need everyone's wisdom.

At this meeting, the main issue discussed was the direction and idea of seawater desalination. If you have any good opinions, I hope that you will speak enthusiastically, put forward your own opinions, brainstorm ideas, and find a development path suitable for China's national conditions. ”

At the meeting, Mr. Zhou, as the host of the meeting, made a brief opening remarks.

On the surface, the meeting seems to be just a discussion of the desalination route, but in reality, the doorway is far from simple, involving the allocation of personnel and the allocation of funds.

After all, both state and corporate research funding 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, then other methods, such as multi-stage flash evaporation, distillation, etc., will not be supported, and basically all resources and funds will be tilted towards reverse osmosis.

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 over other methods, so this time, will the reverse osmosis method seize all the resources and stand out?

This is one of the topics that the participants are most concerned about and most worried about.

After all, officials are basically ignorant of academics, and when making decisions, they often refer to the opinions of industry leaders, and then formulate a macro direction, giving priority to ensuring that the topics in this direction can receive sufficient research funding.

From a personal point of view, it is natural to hope that my research direction can get more support, which is why the atmosphere before the start of the conference is very depressing.

The first speaker was Professor Wu Qingquan from Mizuki.
