Chapter 662: The Brick Family Calls the Beast
The Asian carp is a well-known invasive species in the United States and has caused so much concern that the White House has even held a dedicated "Asian Carp Summit". Although the United States has indeed taken a lot of measures before, it seems that the effect is very average; And now, they seem to have found a way, and this time they need to succeed in one fell swoop.
In fact, the U.S. government has really done a lot of things, but the effect is really average; After decades of "stern warnings," countless studies and countermeasures, scientists in the United States have finally begun to carefully consider the possibility that Asian carp "may have invaded" the Great Lakes.
As for the Great Lakes, Lake Superior, Lake Michigan, Lake Huron, Lake Erie and Lake Ontario are located at the junction of the United States and Canada, collectively referred to as the Great Lakes of North America, which is the world's largest freshwater body and has an independent ecosystem. Salmon, for example, is the main product of freshwater fish in the United States.
Although he sat in the center of the press conference, although facing a large number of media reports, Weida really didn't have too much unnaturalness. Listening to the endless braggadocio and propaganda of those government officials, it is nothing more than that the US government has found a way, they will solve this problem, this is an effective large-scale governance, and the danger of Asian carp will be slowly reduced to the lowest point.
"Mr. Wei, there is news that you are the chief technical expert of this governance action, can you tell us when will we see the governance effect at the earliest?" In the free questioning stage, Wei Da naturally became the main object of attention.
"Actually, it's already working. In the first two years, we conducted a small-scale practice and we gained more experience, which is why we have managed Asian carp on a large scale this time. No one is going to spend taxpayers' money indiscriminately. It's because you're not doing your homework enough. Wei Da said lightly, he already knew about this scene.
"Mr. Wei, there is news that the governance project is a development of the technology you provided......" Another reporter wants to speak, but it seems to be hating Weidara.
"Sorry to interrupt your incorrect remarks. This is a summary of the wisdom of the entire expert group, including me as an expert assistant. I hope you can correct your attitude, this is a rigorous scientific behavior. Wang Ye appeared. This guy avoided those guys from pulling the hatred on Wei Da, and once again pointed out his identity as an 'expert assistant'! "Perhaps soon you will find out that the devils who escaped the bottle are not terrible. As long as you find the answer. ”
Wei Da secretly gave Wang Ye a thumbs up, this guy is really doing a great job; Now don't worry that this chief technologist will be rejected in the eyes of those old men, this is 'everyone's wisdom'. As for Wang Ye's consulting fee, it was really not given in vain. I didn't see him sitting behind Wei Da. This is the assistant to the chief specialist, of course, with a few brushes, although his main identity is a businessman.
"Our governance plan has been presented to you by the press officer, and I don't need to repeat it here. What I'm saying is that this is an important thing, and it's going to take some time, and it's going to take some government support. But everyone knows the significance of this matter. Wei Da stood up the shelf, wearing the red shirt that Xiao You matched him, the black and white spotted pattern tie, and a light-colored casual suit. It's still very generous.
"Because the Mississippi River aquatic life of the Asian carp has collapsed, if they are allowed to cross the dam into the Great Lakes. I think a lot of people know what that means. So I know a lot of people think that this multi-billion dollar governance project is a bit of a waste of money; But if they enter the Great Lakes, they will eat up all the food that native fish depend on for their livelihood, destroying the entire food chain. Wang Ye seems to be enjoying his current status, he is the press officer.
"You should applaud these wise experts more than the reactive measure of building a barrage, a dam, and a physical barrier such as a dam to completely separate the Mississippi River from Lake Michigan." Wang Ye's words made those experts very satisfied, a smart guy, did what the expert assistant should do the most.
A very successful press conference, which also made the previous meeting of these experts and government officials effective; That is to say, simply talk about the situation and prospects of governance, and strive to create momentum in order to get more money and in order to achieve results.
Of course, this is also the difficulty of the governance project; This is a great project, a project for the benefit of humanity, but it does not mean that every governance can be successful, because there are too many difficulties and uncertainties. Of course, intelligent experts and competent government departments can solve these problems, and everyone is wholeheartedly serving the people!
Wei Da suddenly became a little jealous, perhaps because the identity of the chief technical expert was too high-end and too cold, which also made some media reporters feel that it may be a little difficult to communicate with such a wise person, especially when I heard that this chief expert is still quite eccentric, which will indeed make some people feel difficult.
So it's better to be the talkative expert assistant, who knows a lot and is very good at chatting, which allows these reporters to get as much news material as possible. So now, the free question stage has basically become a special press conference for the expert assistant, because everyone really has a lot of topics to talk about at this time.
Wang Ye is still a little unfinished, he still enjoys being the focus of the audience; It's no wonder that so many people want to be stars, and it's obvious that this will get everyone's attention. One sentence can make people happy, and one sentence can make people frustrated, which is really magical; Wang Ye likes it very much, it feels very good, but it's almost the same as an occasional cameo, which is quite interesting.
After the press conference, it was naturally a drinking party, which can be regarded as a celebration party; A successful press conference, it's still worth celebrating. Although there are still no governance results, it is enough to be able to enter such a large project; Besides, these are people at the top, they don't have to do everything personally, just sit in the rear and command and make ideas, this is what they should do.
"Damn, I poured a stomach full of wine and changed a lot of business cards. The result of TMD is to brag about business and expand your network, and your scientific community is not pure now, it is too utilitarian. Wang Ye was a little speechless, complaining and saying; Obviously, he doesn't have much affection for those so-called experts, "It's all bricks and beasts, and they all have the same virtue everywhere." ”
"I'm not a scientist, I'm just staring at my money right now. I'll just have the money in my hands now, and I'll just go through the motions and provide some advice when necessary. Anyway, those technology patents are almost launched now, and I don't really have much to do. Wei Da doesn't like the identity of the brick family called a beast, it is very beautiful to the outside world, but people who are closer still feel a little pressure.
"By the way, I heard that the University of Texas at Dallas is planning to make you an honorary doctorate, that's too exaggerated, isn't it?" Eduardo found it somewhat incredible, he was a playboy; A lot of contact is with the rich second generation or some messy people, although the past two years can be regarded as some heart, but to say that to be friends with the doctor, it is still very stressful.
An honorary doctorate is a type of degree, an honorary degree awarded on the basis of academic achievement or contribution to the country and society; Although this does not seem to be particularly rigorous, it is meant to go through the back door. Although the requirements vary from country to country in terms of the objects and conditions of the award, this is an honorary academic title.
Honorary doctorates are generally conferred on individuals who have made outstanding contributions to the University, society or scholarship, and who have made valuable intellectual, intellectual, community or cultural contributions to society as a whole and to the world.
But it's clear that a public university like the University of Texas is also a top university that has produced a lot of big names; An honorary doctorate, this is indeed a very surprising thing, but also a very difficult thing. Obviously, it's not hard to get; It's not about spending money or having connections, it's at least about having a huge reputation or some great results to be convincing.
"Actually, I don't have any greed for a Ph.D. or anything, speaking of which I am also a master's student, but I never show off, I am very low-key. If you think about it, I've bred new breeds of cattle and I've made a lot of improvements, so it's normal to get an honorary doctorate. I'm going to go back in a while, and then I'm going to invite you to my doctorate awarding ceremony. "Wei Da is triumphant, although an honorary doctorate is not necessarily the most valuable, but an honorary doctorate from a top university, this is very meaningful.
Looking at Wei Da's triumphant appearance, Wang Ye and Eduardo felt very speechless, but I have to say that they both felt quite envious; Obviously, maybe they could buy a so-called honorary doctorate in some private school, and such a thing is not uncommon.
But obviously, it can't be compared to an honorary doctorate from a top university like the University of Texas, and that's even two completely different concepts. So looking at Wei Da's stinky fart now, Wang Ye and Eduardo really feel quite jealous; Wei Da is now a big winner in life, really a big winner, because he is really famous! (To be continued......)
