[Struggler Zheng Youth · First -line Story]

At 4 am on May 15th, the sky paint on the plateau was dark, but the camps of Mount Everest and Environmental Observation Research Station at the Chinese Academy of Sciences at 4300 meters were brightly lit.

It has been boiled for 3 nights. Gao Jing, a researcher at the Qinghai -Tibet Plateau Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, felt very tired, but did not dare to relax at all -she was the second Tibetan Plateau comprehensive scientific investigation research on the "Peak Mission" Mount Everest The person in charge of the boat team, now, the "Jimu No. 1" type III floating boat is ready to impact a new height.

"Polar No. 1" type III floating boat occupies an important position in the study of changes in the environmental changes of the Qinghai -Tibet Plateau. It is equipped with a variety of analyzers such as water vapor stabilization isotope analyzer to monitor black carbon, methane, carbon dioxide and other analysis instruments. Key scientific data for the process of transmission and greenhouse gas vertical changes in the Fengfeng area will provide important scientific basis for revealing the changes in the environmental changes in the Qinghai -Tibet Plateau under the influence of West wind transmission.

In order to complete this scientific test task, Gao Jing has been on the plateau for more than a month. "We have been monitoring weather conditions after we come to the camp, but we can't wait for the most suitable flying conditions. Can you fly, the team has different opinions." Wait, try it? The pressure is concentrated on high crystal.

On that day, Zhang Taihua, the deputy captain and the senior engineer of the Sky Information Innovation Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, "circled" in the camp and argued and analyzed ... In the end, Gao Jing "shot the board": Fei!

5000 meters, 6000 meters, 7000 meters! 8000 meters! 9032 meters!

The new world record is born! Applause and cheers overflowed from the camp, spreading to far, far ...

Gao Jing graduated from the School of Resources and Environment of Lanzhou University, and later studied for a master's and doctoral degree from Yao Tandong, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences from the Chinese Academy of Sciences. For 18 years, she has stayed on the plateau for at least one or two months each year. In the words of Gao Jing, "The root of my scientific research is on the plateau."

I endure the various discomfort caused by the altitude reaction, hiking on the hiking of luggage, camping in the snowstorm ... Doing scientific research on the plateau and challenging the limits of the human body is a commonplace for Gao Jing. But the beautiful and thin high crystal never thought of shrinking, let alone suffering: "Academician Yao Tandong took us to the plateau when he was in his 50s, all of which were at the forefront. The front line. The old gentlemen didn't say hard work, how can we complain! "

From the perspective of Gao Jing, it is the mission of every local scholar. "Our scientific researchers may not be the same as other disciplines. Studies must take root in the front line. Scientific analysis depends on data. You must know where the data comes from and how? There are more interests. Maybe I am a relatively real person, and I must persist to the end. "

Today, Gao Jing is not only a researcher, but also a leading geese. She wants to bring a team -since December 2017, she has been the head of the second Qinghai -Tibet Plateau comprehensive scientific investigation research. More than 60 people have developed to the present, and I have run well. The reason why I dare to "shoot" this time is also because I have confidence in the team! "

Yao Tandong, the captain of the Second Qinghai -Tibet Plateau Comprehensive Science Investigation Research Team and academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, highly evaluated the work of the floating boat team: "This observation is the integration of high -tech and cutting -edge science. These achievements will contribute to the development of human society and global response to climate change. "

Gao Jing returning to Beijing is busy analyzing data and writing papers. On June 7, Chinese and foreign scientists published the latest research results on the Qinghai -Tibet Plateau in the academic journal "Nature · Earth and Environmental Evaluation", which systematically analyzed the "Asian Water Tower" imbalance. Gao Jing is one of the main authors.

The new scientific research plan is also planned: "We hope to go to Mutam Peak to do another floating boat observation in August this year, and to go to the Lulan region in December to conduct another routine observation. Scientific research is not available in no scientific research. There is no scientific research. I think it is very happy to discover and solve the problem in the process of exploring the unknown process. "
