Comprehensive Survey Report

The Scientific Expedition Team arrived at the Gezige Ya Mountain has an altitude of 4,982 meters.

At the foot of the mountain are several valleys, including Gezigeya Gongma, Gezigeya Bama, and Gezigeya Gama, from which turquoise springs gush forth.

These streams were very narrow, and Shen Qi stepped across them in one stride.

These streams are the source of the Yellow River, which flows to the sea and never returns.

"The source of the mighty Yellow River is actually just a few trickling streams." This was Shen Qi's first time visiting the Yellow River Source. He knelt by the stream, cupped a ladle of glacial water in his hands, and tasted it; it was incredibly refreshing.

The Scientific Expedition Team came here not just to have a sip of clean water. The thermal and dynamic effects of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau have a significant impact on atmospheric circulation in East Asia and even the world.

Moreover, the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is the source of China's major rivers, and its snow cover, precipitation, and water resources have extremely high scientific research value.

The Three Rivers Source Region refers to the Yangtze River, the Yellow River, and the Lancang River, with the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers flowing within the territory of China.

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

The Scientific Expedition Team set up camp here, and scholars from various disciplines collected the research data they were responsible for.

Shen Qi has a wide range of knowledge. From Xining to Madoi and then to the source of the Yellow River, he collected real data from various aspects, including water resources and water environment, climate and ecological environment, rodent infestation and grassland degradation, precious wild animals, disorderly development of resources, socio-economic development, and local people's livelihood and customs.

Xu Zhou's main research focuses on global warming. He uses Mathematical Physics formulas to perform calculations based on observational data from stations in the central and eastern parts of the plateau, satellite inversion, and on-site data.

"Professor Shen, I have a professional question to ask. Which drag coefficient should we choose in this formula?" Xu Zhou sat cross-legged outside the tent, operating his laptop.

The overall dynamic formula for sensible heat on the plateau surface was proposed thirty years ago. Different scholars have chosen different thermodynamic drag coefficients in the formula, resulting in significant differences in the calculation results of sensible heat on the plateau surface.

Currently, there are two mainstream viewpoints in academia. One is to consider the influence of atmospheric stability and surface thermal roughness, including information on diurnal variations. The other is based on empirical research and sets the drag coefficient as a constant.

The impact of high-altitude thermodynamics on weather and climate has always been an important research topic in high-altitude meteorology. Shen Qi, who was also operating his laptop, asked Xu Zhou, "What do you think?"

"I think both mainstream algorithms have flaws, but my theoretical level is limited, and I can't derive a new algorithm." Xu Zhou looked at Shen Qi, humbly seeking advice from a top expert in Mathematical Physics.

"The world is experiencing climate change characterized primarily by warming, and the warming effect is more pronounced in the plateau region. Is there an intrinsic connection between the changes in plateau surface heat sources and snow cover at different time scales? What are the similarities and differences in the physical processes by which the two affect the Asian summer monsoon? Given its unique geographical location, can the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau counteract global warming?" Shen Qi asked in a series of questions.

"I..." Xu Zhou couldn't keep up with Shen Qi's wildly imaginative train of thought.

"This isn't a problem with a new algorithm, but with a new concept. In this new conceptual framework, any algorithm is entirely new compared to the current ones." Shen Qi showed Xu Zhou a sketch on the computer. It was a very simple two-dimensional coordinate system with five points marked: (0,1), (0,-1), (1,0), (-1,0), and (0,0).

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

Points A, B, C, and D are connected to form a square, and the two diagonals of the square intersect at point O.

Xu Zhou remained silent. He knew that what Shen Qi was showing was definitely not junior high school math knowledge; there must be more to it than met the eye.

Shen Qi typed on the keyboard, and four different equations appeared on the computer screen at positions A, B, C, and D.

Xu Zhou had never seen such formulas or equations before; they felt both familiar and unfamiliar. "The formulas for the points (0,1) and (0,-1) are variations of the Navier-Stokes equations?"

Shen Qi nodded. "Yes, but it still needs improvement."

Xu Zhou asked with great curiosity, "Then what about (1,0) and (-1,0)?"

"They represent the chaos formula and the Turbulence formula, respectively." Shen Qi typed on the keyboard again, and the image on the computer screen switched to a world map, with A, B, C, and D marked at the South Pole, the North Pole, a point on the equator, and Mount Everest, respectively.

Xu Zhou was shocked. He realized something. "After the unification of Mathematical Grand Unification and Grand Unification, will there be Earth Grand Unification? What does point O represent, and what is the formula for point O?"

Shen Qi closed his laptop. "Point O represents the entire ocean. As for its expression or explanatory system, I haven't found any clues yet. Let's leave it blank for now; it's just a hobby of mine anyway."

Xu Zhou: "Is your hobby ruling the earth?"

Shen Qi shook his head and smiled, then told Xu Zhou, "For the drag coefficient of the overall dynamic formula for sensible heat on the plateau surface, you can set it as a constant for now. This algorithm is more about avoiding mistakes than making great achievements, so it won't be rejected when you write your scientific expedition report."

"OK." Xu Zhou noted down Shen Qi's suggestion and then asked, "After the scientific expedition to the source of the Yellow River, will you come with us to the source of the Yangtze River and the source of the Lancang River?"

"I want to go to Mount Everest, but unfortunately you don't have any climbing plans."

The Scientific Expedition Team's journey to the source of the Yellow River has successfully concluded, and they have returned to Mado County to rest and replenish their supplies.

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

Shen Qi has so much to write about this trip to the plateau: scientific research, ecological environment, socio-political and economic aspects...

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

Looking at Shen Qi, whose skin was both dark and red, Ou Ye asked, "Have you had enough fun?"

Shen Qi smiled and said, "I've had my fill of fun. Thanks for your understanding and support, my wife."

Ou Ye: "Then it's my turn to go out and have some fun, and you stay home and take care of the kids."

Shen Qi asked, "Where are you going to have fun?"

Ou Ye: "Switzerland, a global high-level forum on number theory."

"Great job, Professor Ou." Shen Qi was happy for his wife; Ou Ye was now a well-known scholar in the international number theory community.

Ou Ye went abroad to attend a high-level academic forum, while Shen Qi juggled raising his child and working, becoming both a professor and a stay-at-home dad.

Shen Nuo Fei is one year old. She stays quietly in Shen Qi's study, watching her father work at his desk.

"Nofi, be good, I'll get it done soon. Once it's done, I'll take you out to play." Urged on by his daughter, Shen Qi worked with great efficiency, quickly completing his work tasks for the day.
