That day, I was treated to potato porridge cooked with snakehead fish. The difference is that, the cook also “ballasted” (seasoned) to add one or two tablespoons of delicious fish sauce to the porridge pot to add flavor, before sprinkled with onions and pepper. At first, the pot of porridge gives off an attractive aroma quite similar to rice flour cake soup. But when you taste it, you can clearly feel the bold and light sweetness from cod fish fat and the characteristic sweet aroma of fresh cassava roots. And strangely! It seems that, when swallowing porridge, people immediately feel that the nutrients are “running” there. After drinking a bowl, the person was sweating profusely, so refreshing. Nutritious, easy to digest, hybrid porridge with tapioca soup. In particular, this porridge is not served with vegetables. In particular, this porridge does not need accompanying vegetables. If it feels bland (pale), add a little fish sauce with dangerous chili peppers, it will be very harmonious. When the weather is hot, people are sluggish, so they can easily lose their appetite. However, whenever someone invites me to drink cassava porridge, I am extremely interested. Because it is strange and easy to digest. This dish can be eaten as a filling or as a soup with cold rice in the main meal. More luxurious, add a pot of braised goby with pepper or braised fish sauce with lots of fat and dotted with small dried shrimp, half the size of a chopstick. How much rice! When you eat it, you will feel the sweet, dark and light taste from copper fish fat. The “hybrid” soup of the southwestern countryside, can be cooked with a few copper fish (small, perch, choke) or a bunch of shrimp and shrimp to add sweetness. There are places, even more “playful”, cooked with bamboo chicken or young chicken. So the more I think about it, the more I love the noodle kitchen! Because in order to have the above-mentioned quality soup, the most important requirement is that there must be fresh tapioca, the form that has just been spit up is the best. Old potatoes, will reduce the characteristic sweetness. In particular, the “young” cassava variety planted in 3 months for harvest is more useful than the “old” variety, it takes 6 months to grow the tubers to be large enough. Because the tubers of the 3-month-old potato are always sweet and fragrant. Of course, cassava can be processed into many other delicious dishes, such as: grinding it, rolling it into a curry ball or pouring it into a little sweetened condensed milk pressed into a mold like a printed cake to be grilled over charcoal fire or wrapped. little cakes, steamed silkworm cakes… Shredded cassava ingredients for curry. However, still not as deeply impressed as the “hybrid” soup just described. Because this dish, not only strange and nutritious, but also makes the writer nostalgic about the interesting porridge and soup dishes he has tasted. It’s like, a thin line between really good porridge and soup. And even happier with souls that are always full of a memory of the countryside with the kitchen, the noodles… the fluttering! How to cook “hybrid” tapioca porridge with snakehead fish or chicken is basically as follows: Peel and wash the raw cassava, divide it in half. Half sliced ​​thinly, minced. Cut the other half into large, medium-sized pieces. When the water is just warm, add the minced noodles first and let it simmer. Next, add the rest of the tapioca. Clean snakehead fish, cut into long slices, the size of three adult fingers, drain. Drop the fish into the pot at the same time as the large chunks of potatoes. Soup, cooked fish, then take out. Wait to cool. Drain the lean meat, remove all the bones. Next, put about 1/3 of the amount of fish that has been poached back into the porridge pot, to make the porridge more sweet. Or cook with chicken, cut raw chicken into bite-sized pieces, marinate: salt, sugar, monosodium glutamate about 15-20 minutes before. Fry until golden brown with a pinch of purple onion, lightly stir-fry the chicken and then put it in the pot of porridge/potato soup. Finally, season to taste with common spices: sugar, salt, monosodium glutamate. And most importantly, sprinkle a pinch of finely chopped fresh green onions with a few teaspoons of aromatic pepper powder. Articles, photos: Ta Tri

On April 15th, Great Wall Motor conducted an online real-life test of the Lemon Hybrid DHT, and this was the first time it was tested on a real car. The tested model was the WEY Macchiato that will be unveiled at the Shanghai Auto Show. However, if you think that this is just a test for the purpose of saving fuel, you are quite wrong. In fact, the biggest advantage of the lemon hybrid DHT covers four words: “fast, smooth, quiet, and province”. There is a corresponding technical paving behind each word. So can actual driving really be done? here we come to find out. What is the sense of pushing back under the word “fast”? In the acceleration test representing the word “fast”, the experience of sitting in the co-pilot, I love placing a balloon between the back and the seat. When the test-driving car is cruising steadily, the balloon stays still, and when the test-driving car accelerates rapidly, the balloon is instantly squeezed. This is due to the strong “back force”, which shows the acceleration performance of the lemon hybrid DHT. It’s outstanding. The Lemon Hybrid DHT consists of a high-efficiency hybrid dedicated engine, a highly integrated dual-motor hybrid gearbox, and a 135kW three-in-one two-speed electric drive rear axle, forming a powerful three-engine/four-engine power system, bringing super power. The HEV two-wheel drive system has a maximum power of 180kW, and the PHEV two-wheel drive system has a total power of 240kW, which is superior to the same level. The PHEV+P4 structure front and rear axle motors can output power at the same time, and the maximum total system power can reach 320kW. The intelligent four-wheel drive system of this architecture has a strong climbing ability, such as 60%-65% maximum climbing degree when dry asphalt pavement, and 15%-18% maximum climbing degree when in snow. Huang Zhenyang, head of the development of Lemon Hybrid DHT, introduced in detail: “In the initial stage, electric drive is used. Compared with the engine, the motor can release the maximum torque at the moment of starting. There is no traditional gearbox and the transmission efficiency is very high. Therefore, the vehicle responds. It is very fast and has a strong sense of pushing back. When it comes to medium and high speed road conditions, the system adopts engine direct drive. If a power request is received, it can achieve an effect similar to a downshift of a fuel vehicle. Not only does it switch from economic gear to power gear, but also Motors can participate in the output and form a parallel mode, so that the acceleration ability can be improved to a higher level.” How do you feel about driving and riding under the word “Shun”? In the test representing the word “Shun”, two cups were placed on the sunroof of the test-driving car and filled with a certain amount of juice. A series of operations such as starting, accelerating, decelerating, etc. of the test-driving car in the field will involve switching between oil and electricity and energy recovery. Observe whether the water cup will fall and the shaking of the juice. Through the real-time video captured by the GoPro on the roof of the car, it can be seen that the juice in the water glass does not even shake significantly, and it is very stable. When the final test is completed, the water glass is still in its original position. Experiencers said that its ride comfort is comparable to that of high-speed trains, and there is no feeling of frustration, turbulence, or drag while sitting in the car. If you do not watch the energy flow of the central control screen, you can hardly feel the switch between gasoline and electricity. Huang Zhenyang said, “The reason why the lemon hybrid DHT is excellent in terms of ride comfort is that it has a set of modes and energy management and torque control strategies with completely independent intellectual property rights, including intelligent switching between series and direct drive modes, and shifting without power interruption. , Intelligent clutch control, motor torque compensation matching and IGBT junction temperature estimation, etc.”. And because of this, the test drive can be “silky smooth” in the process of acceleration, fuel-electricity switching, and energy recovery. Not only does the water glass not fall, but more importantly, it improves the comfort of the drivers and passengers in the car. From a technical point of view, the current hybrid market has several hybrid strategy products such as power split (motor speed regulation, speed coupling), single-speed hybrid (rigid coupling), series range extension, and oil-electric split. Lemon hybrid DHT It is a two-speed hybrid. Among them, the first three representative products all emphasize the economic performance of the system, but the power split and single-speed hybrid strategy are insufficient in dynamics. The power performance of the series-extended range depends entirely on the motor power. The lemon hybrid DHT has more direct-drive gears and more complex control strategies, both in terms of performance and economy. Therefore, a balance between performance and efficiency is formed. The power split hybrid is biased toward engine-driven vehicles, and the electric motor is more assisted, assisted during acceleration, assisted during starting, and so on. Single-speed hybrid is a hybrid system that is close to a pure electric drive mode, so it is closer to an upgraded range-extended hybrid system. The lemon hybrid DHT combines the advantages of pure electricity and hybrid through a complex control strategy, so that the system will always remain in the high efficiency range under the premise of smooth and strong. Two worlds inside and outside the car under the word “Jing”? In the NVH test which represents the word “quiet”, a speaker is placed in the test drive site, music is played on the spot, a noisy environment is simulated, and environmental data is recorded with a decibel meter. The test-driving car made a circle around the audio, and at the same time, the data in the car was recorded with a decibel meter. In the case of more than 90dB outside the car, the members in the car talk and communicate normally and keep floating in the range of 50-70dB. The overall performance is excellent, which can create a pure electric driving experience for users. The experiencer said, “There are some hybrid models that shake significantly when the engine is started, and there are obvious noises when the motor is working. But today’s experience left a deep impression on me. The above situation is hardly noticeable. The NVH optimized Very in place.” It is understood that for NVH, the hybrid dedicated 1.5L/1.5T engine used in the Lemon Hybrid DHT has been re-optimized for its overall NVH, including jitter, noise, etc., to minimize it, combined with the high-end sound insulation of the vehicle itself. Materials and other technologies to improve NVH greatly reduce the noise introduced into the car. Specifically, the HEV architecture uses a 1.8kWh battery, which increases the battery capacity by more than 30% compared to the traditional hybrid system. The PHEV architecture is equipped with the world’s largest PHEV battery with a power of 45kWh, which can be charged 80% in 30 minutes, and it also provides an 8-year/150,000 km long warranty. Based on this, users can use pure electric drive in more scenarios, and can also fully reduce the number of engine starts and stops, reduce startup energy consumption, and greatly improve NVH performance. What’s more worth mentioning is that by further optimizing the connection between oil and electricity, it is guaranteed to be more “insensitive” during power switching, bringing ultimate comfort. How about the actual measurement results of fuel consumption under the word “province”? In the last fuel consumption test representing the word “province”, the mileage and fuel consumption data of the test-driving car were reset to zero, and it was in a power feeding state. The 5km actual test was carried out on the test site, including starting, accelerating, braking, turning, etc. The average speed is 15km/h, and the final apparent fuel consumption is 5.1L/100km. In-car experiencers said, “The average speed is 15km/h. Such a scenario is the weakness of fuel vehicles, and the fuel consumption of 5.1L/100km is an unattainable figure. Thanks to the blessing of the hybrid, the Lemon Hybrid DHT has achieved it. This kind of performance is remarkable, and it has obvious advantages compared with the fuel consumption of 8-9L per hundred kilometers of many similar fuel products. Specifically, the Lemon Hybrid DHT is equipped with a high-efficiency hybrid dedicated engine and TM (drive motor)/GM (generator) dual motors. The overall efficiency of the power system exceeds 50%, bringing optimal economy in the full speed range and all scenarios. , And carry out flexible power distribution for different roads. Its core working principle is to always make the engine work at the highest efficiency point, or to maximize the efficiency of the engine, so as to achieve the best overall efficiency. The working mode of “Lemon Hybrid DHT” is divided into the following points: EV mode energy flow In the EV working mode, the TM motor can directly drive the wheels, keeping the engine in the high efficiency area at all times, and maximizing the power performance. Series mode energy flow The series mode is suitable for urban driving conditions. The engine drives the GM to generate electricity, and the TM motor directly drives the wheels. In the series hybrid mode, the fuel saving rate can reach 35%-50%. Parallel mode energy flow High-speed driving conditions are more suitable for parallel mode. It is driven by the engine to directly drive the wheels. The GM motor and TM motor are responsible for adjusting the engine operating point and auxiliary driving the wheels. This direct drive operating point of the engine directly falls in the high-efficiency area, and the fuel consumption is lower. The series mode can be reduced by 10%~15%. “In low-speed road conditions, the pure electric or series mode is used to directly drive the wheels through the motor to avoid the problem of low engine efficiency. At medium and high-speed road conditions, switch to engine direct drive, which can save 10% compared to the series mode- 15%.” Huang Zhenyang said: “And the direct drive of the engine has economic gear and power gear. The economic gear is used in steady-state cruise. The power gear is switched when accelerating, and the output is assisted by the motor to avoid the transient load of the engine. The perfect balance between power and fuel consumption.” to sum up: Through the above test, we can see that the lemon hybrid DHT technology has perfectly combined comfortable driving experience with strong power output, bringing users the most perfect driving experience in a variety of scenarios. However, from a deeper perspective, the lemon hybrid DHT is a brand new hybrid technology that Great Wall Motors breaks the technology monopoly of joint venture brands and is completely independent of design, research and development, and has completely independent intellectual property rights. It also represents Great Wall Motors’ compliance with the national low-carbon environmental protection strategy and entry into the hybrid technology. The determination and strength of the market. It is believed that with its excellent technical standards, Great Wall Motors Lemon Hybrid DHT will surely become a leader in the hybrid market and contribute an indelible important force to the development of China’s hybrid technology. As the Shanghai Auto Show is about to open, users can also taste the first WEY Macchiato equipped with the lemon hybrid DHT hybrid technology at close range, and further experience the outstanding charm of the lemon hybrid DHT.

Dr. Le Hung Phong – Director of the Center for Research and Development of Hybrid Rice (Institute of Food and Food Plants) – with a new generation of hybrid rice. Photo: Duong Dinh Tuong. Advantages and disadvantages of domestic hybrid rice Dr. Le Hung Phong – Director of the Center for Research and Development of Hybrid Rice (Institute of Food Plants and Food Plants), who was black because of sunburn, just led me to visit the new generation hybrids mentioned. When he was a student at the University of Agriculture I, he himself chose to be a rice breeder, and his graduation thesis was also about hybrid rice, guided by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nguyen Thi Tram. She advised: “If you like this job, then go to the Center for Research and Development of Hybrid Rice.” At that time, this unit was just established in 1994. Until now this is still the only research center in this field. According to Mr. Phong, if the southern part of the breed is mainly from the IRRI International Rice Research Institute, the northern part is mainly from China, both hybrid and pure. Research on hybrid rice in our country can be divided into several stages: From 1995 to 2000, we basically researched and perfected and mastered the technology of F1 seed production and production of parental lines imported from China. Country. From 2000 – 2010 mainly use the available Chinese mother line to cross with his father’s line. Therefore, the hybrid advantage in yield as well as quality of the domestic variety cannot exceed that of the imported Chinese variety. From there, we oriented, in addition to using imported materials from that source, to improve and introduce sterility genes, restore genes, and create new Vietnamese parent materials. In the period of 2011 – 2015, University of Agriculture I (now the Vietnam Academy of Agriculture) and the Center for Research and Development of Hybrid Rice under the Vietnam Institute of Agricultural Science and Technology (now part of the Food Crop Institute). food plants) has created parent lines with its own orientation such as E15S, T6S, AMS35S, D116S, AMS211A,14A… These are the mother lines of some quality Vietnamese hybrid rice varieties such as HQ19, Aromatic hybrid 6, HYT124… In the basic spring crop, we use Chinese hybrid rice varieties because they have more advantages in yield and shape, but the main crop uses two-line hybrid rice varieties produced in the country because of the short growing time, better resistance to pests and diseases, better quality. Currently, the quality of imported hybrid rice varieties is getting better and better, such as: Thai Xuyen 111; Ly2099; LP1601… Besides, we have also successfully chosen to create quality two-line hybrid rice varieties that can grow two crops in a year such as HQ19, Hybrid Aroma 6, HYT124, MCH2… Close-up of new hybrid rice. Photo: Duong Dinh Tuong. The general orientation of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development is to select hybrid rice varieties that are resistant to pests and diseases, improve quality, and respond to climate change. Indeed, we also have success in breeding such as having parental lines for quality breeding, transferring genes for resistance to pests and diseases. So far, we have varieties that can be said to be of equal quality to the best imported hybrid rice today, Thai Xuyen 111 (sometimes selling up to 150,000 VND/kg), for example, two-line hybrid rice HQ19, HYT124, Hybrid aromatic 6, MCH2… with a selling price of 100,000 – 120,000 VND/kg, some promising three-line hybrid rice varieties, such as HYT325, HYT315, with rice seeds over 7mm long, clear rice, amylose content 16-18%, fragrant rice. However, one of the weaknesses of the domestic varieties is that the shape in the field is not as eye-catching as the Chinese hybrid rice varieties because they have technologies and genetic resources that not only create high yields, The quality and shape are still very nice… We have created our own parent lines from Chinese materials, unfortunately, we have not effectively exploited the male sterility genes from native rice and domestic wild rice. Select varieties in the direction of rice for export According to Mr. Phong, recently, the hybrid rice market has gone down because of the competition of high-quality pure rice, especially in the Red River Delta provinces. In addition, due to industrialization and urbanization, the area of ​​rice cultivation has decreased, the demand for food is not large, the price of imported seeds is high, and the source of seeds cannot be proactive while domestic goods can only meet 30-35 years. % need. The goal of developing hybrid rice in the coming time is not necessarily to increase the cultivated area, but to raise the proportion of domestic products from more than 30-35% to 40.50%…, conquering the market by high quality seeds. Dr. Le Hung Phong: “The results of our work up to now can be said to have not been as expected”. Photo: Duong Dinh Tuong. Dr. Le Hung Phong confided: “In the past, we used to joke: “Although hybrid rice is hybrid, the yield is still twice that of normal rice”, but in fact, research shows that “to create hybrid rice varieties, time Time and effort must be twice that of pure rice.” For example, the research time to select a pure rice variety can be 5 years, but it takes 10 years for hybrid rice. Moreover, the production of hybrid rice seeds by external pollination, depends a lot on weather conditions, on the characteristics of pollen recipients and pollens of the mother and father lines, whether parents combine to create an advantage or not… In short, the production of hybrid rice seeds requires a large investment but the risk is high, so well-known enterprises like ThaiBinhseed have not invested in the production of hybrid rice seeds, Vinaseed only focuses on the production of hybrid rice varieties. old system, easy to do like Nhi uu 838 and now it’s time to start with new varieties imported from China. Besides, there are also private enterprises, the provincial Seed Center has copyright like Cuong Tan Co., Ltd., Hai Phong High-Tech Agriculture Joint Stock Company, Lao Cai Seed Center, Thanh Hoa Institute of Agricultural Science, Vietseed … to invest in domestic hybrid rice production. Currently, the official hybrid rice research and breeding system only has the Crop Research and Development Institute of the Vietnam National Academy of Agriculture and the Hybrid Rice Research and Development Center of the Institute of Food Crops and Food Plants. . We are implementing a program to select and breed hybrid rice that is qualified for export. In addition, starting research on selecting hybrid rice varieties to cope with climate change. HYT 315 – new generation hybrid rice at the Center for Research and Development of Hybrid Rice. Photo: Duong Dinh Tuong. Making good seeds, but selling copyrights at this time is difficult because two or three successful harvests and one loss is zero production effort, so businesses are not eager. There is a new direction of combining with businesses to jointly invest, share profits as well as risks. The Center is now a partially autonomous (45-50%) non-business unit. The results of our work to date can be said to have not been as expected. For example, the phenotype of domestic hybrid rice compared with Chinese hybrid rice is still poor, and needs to be improved to be closer to imported varieties. What I regret most is that the opportunity to contribute to the development of domestic hybrid rice production is that at the time when HYT100 was recognized as a variety, there was no strong business to invest in it. The quality of the HYT100 is good, but there are difficulties in seed production, which are also common weaknesses of quality hybrid rice varieties. If this weakness can be improved, the opportunity for development will be better. I think there are still many things that can be exploited and believe that hybrid rice will grow well. I used to go to an expert in Africa where rice is only for invited guests, proving that the rice grain still plays a huge role in the world with densely populated countries or need to ensure food security. In order to develop hybrid rice and pure rice in particular and the seed industry in general, if the State and the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development do not have policies to invest in-depth in domestic research, it will be difficult to compete with foreign products. Large enterprises, with a lot of money, only invest in research at the level of exploration and testing of varieties, not in-depth research. Therefore, appropriate attention and investment is still needed for non-business units doing research to ensure continuity and to produce good products.

Mr. Bui Van Tuong’s family, Doan Ket hamlet, Hop Tien commune (Dong Hy) pack freshly made rice noodles (photo taken before April 27, 2021). Perhaps when it comes to rice noodles products of Hop Tien commune, many people think that there are many households in the commune doing this job or that Hop Tien is an area specializing in producing rice noodles. However, when we found out information about rice noodles products in the commune, we were completely surprised that there were only 2 households in Hop Tien commune. In particular, Mr. Tuong’s family is known for the famous noodle product here. Telling us about the opportunity to come to the profession, Mr. Tuong said: My wife’s parents (in Phu Binh district) are households specializing in producing rice noodles since decades ago. Realizing that this is an easy-to-consume product, since 2006, my husband and I also started the profession. With the “craft” of the family, more careful work in the selection of ingredients and production, so the noodle products made by the family are all consumed by agents and people inside and outside the commune. On average, each month, my family sells about 6 tons of rice noodles, with the price of 22,000 VND/kg, earning about 130 million VND. Excluding expenses, my family earns from 18-20 million VND/month from making rice noodles. Not hiding his profession, Mr. Tuong freely shared with us about the stages of making standard rice noodles. Accordingly, to make the final noodle product, it has to go through many stages: Soaking rice, grinding flour, brewing flour, rolling noodles, washing, drying… At each stage, there must be separate attention to get the desired product. For example, when soaking rice, you have to wash the rice clean and then soak it. Soaking time must be enough 4 hours before grinding. Tuong added: Adjusting the temperature and putting the right amount of dough into the yarn rolling machine is extremely important. Because, if the temperature is too hot, but the amount of flour put into the machine is small, the noodles are easily broken. If you add a lot of flour but the temperature is not hot enough, the noodles will be raw, the noodles will not be clear. After being rolled, the flour is incubated overnight and then washed with cold water to separate the fibers, avoid sticking and finally dry in the sun. According to Mr. Tuong, the choice of rice to make noodles is equally important. The best rice is usually the Bao Thai variety, but the price is quite high, and the noodles are a bit sticky when cooked, so he and his wife use Khang Dan rice. Mr. Tuong shared: My family often buys Khang rice from people in the commune to grind to make rice noodles. Like Khang, local people are not hybridized like many other places, so the cooked noodles are not crushed. On average, each year, the family buys about 50 tons of rice for people in the commune. In addition, to make the color of white noodles beautiful, Mr. Tuong’s family focuses on drying in the sun. Noodles that are exposed to the sun for 1 day will be white. If it rains, your family has to dry the noodles with the heat of the industrial air conditioner, in the winter you can dry them in the sun and wind, so the noodles are still guaranteed in terms of design and quality. Thanks to the enthusiasm in each stage, the noodle product of Mr. Tuong’s family is always appreciated for its good quality and reasonable price, so it is supported by many people. Ms. Trieu Thi Vinh, from Bai Bong hamlet, Hop Tien commune confided: For more than 10 years, my family has regularly used rice noodles products of Mr. Tuong’s family. Noodles here are not mushy or crushed, fragrant with rice. Moreover, knowing well about your noodle making process, I feel secure when using it, not worrying about the use of harmful chemicals in the noodle product. Talking about his future plans, Mr. Tuong said: Currently, on average, my wife and I can make about 2 quintals of noodles per day, but we cannot supply enough for the market. The family also intends to expand the scale but still has trouble hiring workers, because the time to start making noodles is usually very early, from about 3-4 am, so it is difficult to hire people to do it. In addition, when the family wants to increase productivity, the family needs to invest in more machines and factories with high costs. However, in the long run, my wife and I will also consider investing in expanding production. Along with that, a trademark will be registered so that the product is known, trusted and used by more people.

Mr. Vien Long Binh was still diligently researching hybrid rice until the last days of his life. Photo: CNS. The following article by Christina Jiang- a Chinese international student studying in the UK about the merits of professor-academician Yuan Longping, was published in 2019 in the newspaper. The Oxford Scientist. Jiang wrote: A few weeks ago, on October 1, 2019, something quite strange happened in my house: Our whole family had dinner next to the TV screen! It was the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China, in 1949, after years of conflict and political instability. While we were reviewing the parade that morning and the gala dinner that lasted until midnight, my parents and grandparents started talking about Chinese history and culture. In 1973, Mr. Vien Long Binh was the first to develop hybrid rice and achieved hybrid dominance in rice. Hybrid dominance is where progeny hybrids of two different parents are produced with difficulty but are more productive and grow faster. The conversation eventually turned to the Chinese, especially scientists, who are quite famous at home, but barely known abroad. I felt very ashamed when I realized that out of all the names they were mentioning, I didn’t recognize any though sure, I had vaguely heard of them but couldn’t remember any. what. The great merit of agronomist Vien Long Binh helped the once-poor and most populous country in the world overcome hunger. Photo: CRI. The conversation continued until everyone talked about a special man: Vien Long Binh. Again, I don’t know what he did, but after listening and learning more about him, I understand why the people of this country respect him so much. When you start thinking about scientists, what do you usually think of? For me, those are big fields like physics, chemistry or medicine. And Mr. Vien here works in an industry that I didn’t even realize was considered science. He is an agronomist, a scientist active in the field of agriculture. Whether he did not cure a rare disease or discover fundamental truths about the universe, I think what he has achieved is equally important. Due to the self-pollinating nature of rice plants, hybridization is considered impossible because self-pollinating species have to undergo a long process of selection. Thus, all the inferior traits are removed and only the superior ones are left, which is detrimental to hybridization. But Mr. Vien Long Binh proved this wrong. He used a male sterile wild rice variety and produced a rice that was up to 20% more productive. Since then, its productivity has continuously increased. Currently, 50% of rice in China comes from agronomist Vien Long Binh’s hybrid varieties and produces 60% of the country’s total rice production. An estimated 300 billion kilograms of the rice varieties created by Mr. Vien have been planted in the past 20 years, and its yield growth alone is more than enough to feed an additional 60 million people. “Father of hybrid rice” Vien Long Binh cut his hair at a familiar salon in Trường Sa, Hunan province. Photo: Global Times. Those who have been interested in China’s long history of development will see why the topic of hybrid rice has attracted so much attention and become such a big deal. And that is also what prompted Mr. Yuan Longping to embark on his research career in response to one of the greatest disasters of the 20th century, the greatest famine in China. The disaster that left at least 36 million people starved to death began in 1959, when the Great Leap Forward was unleashed with misguided policies and natural disasters, leading to a food shortage crisis. on a nationwide scale. Although he has been working and producing results since the 1970s, it is only in the past 20 years that Mr. Vien Long Binh’s efforts have been recognized to a higher level. He was awarded the World Food Prize in 2004 and the Confucius Peace Prize in 2012. In 2019, at the age of 89, he continued to work, devoting his life to developing rice with higher yields and more difficult growing conditions. There are varieties that can grow in very arid conditions in Africa and may even one day grow in salt water. Hybrid rice varieties have since been grown in many countries in Africa, the Americas and Asia, providing food for areas at risk of famine. Because of his contribution, Mr. Vien was dubbed the “Father of Hybrid Rice” by the Chinese media. In the world’s most populous country, there are now at least four famous landmarks and a university named after him. Professor-academician Yuan Longping born on September 7, 1930 is a famous Chinese agronomist, known for creating the first hybrid rice varieties in the 70s of the last century. He won the China Preeminent Science and Technology Prize in 2000, the Agriculture Prize and the 2004 World Food Prize. Before his death, he was still the leader of the China National Hybrid Rice Research and Development Center. He is also a member of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and a former associate of the US National Academy of Sciences. Mr. Vien Long Binh also served as chief advisor to FAO in 1991.

Like a wholesale market of forest products Unlike the markets in the Northwest that usually only meet on one day and then dissolve, the Saturday night Tua Chua market is busy from dusk on Saturday night until almost the end of Sunday afternoon. In the mornings from Monday to Saturday, Tua Chua market has people selling groceries, clothes, food… in cages, but there are few buyers. At noon on Saturday, the market began to gradually crowded with people from the Mong, Thai and Dao ethnic groups in the district bringing goods down to prepare for the fair, the most crowded being the Mong ethnic people. Just bought the orchid from the people, the “mixed touch” person offered to sell it right away On the way from Hanoi to the Northwest and Northeast highlands, people below have never seen a market with a lot of wild orchids, wild ginseng, herbs like at Tua Chua market on Saturday night, like a market. The clues of these goods come from the mountains and forests. Small traders at Tua Chua market said that before, the market was only held on Sunday mornings behind cage houses, the Mong ethnic people went to the market to sell chickens, ducks, underarm pigs, home-grown agricultural products, and herbs exploited in the forest. then buy clothes, farm tools, household appliances. People who buy and sell wild orchids from natural places gather in Tua Chua to hunt orchids of local people to exploit forest orchids or grow wild orchids at home and then sell them. They dated people to buy and sell wild orchids on Saturday night at Tua Chua market. It is always convenient for the Mong ethnic people to go to the market to sell orchids on Saturday night and then stay at the market on Sunday morning. So Tua Chua market has had a Saturday night market for more than 3 years now. The front of Tua Chua market looks very popular, unlike the vibrant scene in the back At first, Tua Chua fair market on Saturday night only had people buying and selling wild orchids, later on, people also brought wild ginseng, special agricultural products of the highland such as small root ginger, black turmeric, cardamom, and herbs. pharmacy… Buyers see many things below that they don’t have or have but are not as good, so they can buy more to use, as gifts. Guests spread the word about the interesting, unique and strange things they bought, making the Saturday night Tua Chua market noticed. However, Tua Chua is far away, not everyone has the conditions and time to come, so orchid hunters make contact with local people, asking for help buying and sending. Seizing the opportunity, some local people became collectors, collectors of business, Tua Chua market on Saturday night became a wholesale market of wild orchids, forest ginseng, precious agricultural products, and highland herbs from Vietnam. when no one knows. It can be said that this is the only night market selling wild orchids and ginseng in Vietnam so far. Mobile technology pervades Those who specialize in buying forest orchids, ginseng through rocks, herbs at Tua Chua market on Saturday night are mostly Kinh people in other localities but living in Tua Chua; a few are young people from the Mong, Thai, and Dao ethnic groups from Sin Ho (Lai Chau), Quynh Nhai (Son La), Tuan Giao, and Muong Cha (Dien Bien). Wild orchids are the most sought after item. Every Saturday, they gather at Tua Chua market to pick up people from the villages to bring orchids to the market. Bought a lot are rare orchids such as scallops; Orchid with beautiful flowers are popular as paint daffodils, kim scallops, square kieu, purple kieu, yellow kieu, royal lap, Hoang Thao, jade point … The price of orchids is high or low depending on each orchid, orchid bush. People in the village who are honest but buy and sell many times also know that they shouldn’t be in a hurry to sell, but just put it out there for buyers to see, tell the price, whoever pays more will sell. “Mixed trim” sells wild orchids Unlike wild orchids, the types that are considered precious from the mountains such as rock ginseng (rock ginseng), three-kid tubers, herbs are almost the same purchase price, the only difference is large, small, and quality. How fresh and dry. At dusk, Tua Chua market on Saturday night began to be bustling. Those who come for the first time will be amazed with the light from the flashlights mounted on the seller’s head and the light from the many smart mobile phones that are directly transmitting images for sale. Perhaps even the big cities in Vietnam do not have a market where the “hybrid touch” sales force is as large as in Tua Chua market far away in this Northwest highland. Buyers who gathered enough goods, began to “mix and trim” to sell online. Each person has 2-3 phones working at the same time, just transmitting pictures of each orchid, introducing, trading, and selling prices continuously: “Is there anyone who closes the ceiling of the earth orchids, is it beautiful? glass is always, beautiful bag, always coffee”, “Mr. Tran Phuc, the price of bare berry is 480,000 VND, is it OK for my sister?”, “Brother Le Trung, please give me the phone number above. Please finish off the overseas spring rolls, price 150,000 VND, please”, “This application for painting daffodils is closed for Mr. Tu Cuong, what is the address in Hue, bro”… The buyer side also responded: “Sister, look at the orchid here, let me see how the orchid is, but 50 million or 5 million dong?”, “50 million, but how can 5 million dong get you, orchids? it’s rare”. Closing any order, the seller immediately took the phone number and address written on the small piece of paper attached to the orchid that had just had a buyer. For precious orchids, the seller “hybrid touch” does not set a specific price, but gives the starting price of each tree for those who love that type of orchid to auction. The highest bidder wants to own that orchid but is far away, must ask an acquaintance at Tua Chua who has knowledge about orchids to check the tree and receive the goods immediately. Unlike the orchid sellers who have booths, sit on the spot “hybrid touch trim”, those who “hybrid touch trim” to sell ginseng and herbs mostly do not have stalls. They walk around the market, holding a tree with 2-3 smartphones, and carrying a small bag with a notebook on their shoulders. Seeing the place of ginseng and herbs of the villagers that are beautiful, the “mixed touch” people put the phone in to introduce, price immediately without asking the villagers how to sell. “Today, my family has ginseng piercing stone cool liver, good health for both men and women, very nice products. The price of big ginseng root is 80,000 VND per pound, small root is 60,000 VND per kilogram. Please order quickly”, “Hey guys, is this ginseng beautiful, put it in glass glue soaked in wine, it looks very nice, it’s good to drink”, “If you like stewed chicken with ginseng, this ginseng is great very”, “Brother Nam in Hanoi 2 pounds right? Sister in Saigon 4 pounds give me the address, phone number too”… After finishing the order with customers online, those who “mix and touch” will ask the price, pay the price with the villagers and weigh the goods. They pay but are not in a hurry to pick up the goods to free their hands to go to another “hybrid touch” to continue. At the end of the night of the market, each person “crossed and touched” sold at least 20-30 kg of ginseng, some people managed to lock up to a hundred kilograms. Closing the order, the person who “preliminarily trims” records the ticket immediately Know “hybrid touch”, sell more goods Ms. Mi Sen and 3 Dao people are all from Sin Ho (Lai Chau province) selling at this market for only one year. They buy ginseng from local people to collect in the forest and then bring it to this market to sell. At first, the girls sold it to a few people who specialized in “hybrid touch trim”, gradually learned how people did it, and then also “hybrid touched trim” sold their own ginseng, only reaching the level of “hybrid touching trim” on one phone. only phone, but the sales are more than before. A teacher from Thai Binh came to Tua Chua to teach, and every time she went to the fair, she went to the market to sell ginger, black turmeric, and cardamom to earn extra income. She said that ginger and black turmeric grown in the highlands are more spicy and fragrant than those grown in the lowlands, so they are very popular. Usually customers close orders of at least 5 kg of ginger or turmeric, at least 1 kg of cardamom. She bought it, packed it, called the “Giaohangtietkiem” party to pick it up and deliver it for her, the “cyp” money (delivery fee) was paid by the customer, for every 5 kg of ginger, the fee was about 30,000 – 40,000 VND. The teacher speaks Hmong, so she has the advantage of fast transactions with the Mong people who go to the market to sell goods compared to other “mixed touch” people. Those who “hybrid touch” work until 23 o’clock, then temporarily stop, bring the goods to pack to deliver in the morning to the “cyp” carrier for the customer. They sleep on the spot or rent a motel to take advantage of a few hours. Around 5-6 am on Sunday morning, this force again went to the market to hunt for beautiful forest orchids, good ginseng penetration, continue to “mix and trim” to take advantage of closing more orders. Over a Saturday night and a Sunday morning, mobile technology has brought goods from Tua Chua market to many buses to all regions. On Sunday morning, returning to the market, the Mong and Thai people saw us handing over our phones to take pictures and videos, and they asked again: “Did you just come here?”. At dusk on Saturday night, the Mong ethnic people bring their goods to the market Meeting day If you go to the provinces in the Northwest and Northeast, if you meet on the right day of the fair, all lowland people will like it. The fair for the highlanders is like a festival to meet each other, trading is simply selling what they can grow and raise in the village or go to the forest to earn and then buy what they need. These very rustic images allow people below to walk up and down the market to learn many unique cultural features of each ethnic minority community.

Julie Dang’s journey to make coffee a part of who she is. Julie was initially unimpressed with coffee – a dark, bitter drink sold on the streets of Saigon. Until her freshman year of college, a foreign friend offered her a machine-made espresso. “I have never had a coffee that is both fatty and fragrant in such a pleasant way and gives such strong energy.” Thinking that a person who does not like strong coffee like me can drink it, maybe many people also like it. So the college freshman decided to start a business with a self-designed coffee truck. In 2007 – 2008, Julie’s “peddler” coffee machine is still a very new and rare model in Saigon. This business “mission” costs hundreds of millions of dong, but the revenue increases very quickly. However, Julie at that time had many other things to care about, including studying, so the coffee truck also closed after a year. Julie Dang is a judge in a competition about Sense of taste. Intoxicated with coffee, Julie plunges into exploring it. She confided that she is only happy when studying, researching and teaching about coffee. She has poured a lot of money into courses around the world, with leading experts in the field. The more she studied and studied, the more fascinated she became. In Julie’s concept, coffee is not just a drink but a combination of all fields related to human cultural life. When the world changes, people’s lives change, so does coffee culture. After many years of wandering, Julie finally “pocketed” a good amount of knowledge and wanted to share it with people with the same passion. Therefore, Julie said that she loves teaching at Vietnam Barista School more than doing business. “I am happy to see students learn many new things about coffee. From their feedback, I see myself again on the journey to coffee, it is a feeling of joy and emotion every time I open a new door, sometimes overwhelmed because it is so wonderful.” . Julie Dang teaches coffee roasting techniques. Julie transmits her knowledge and passion to her students and vice versa, their eagerness to learn and progress stimulates her to want to replicate her sharing model even more. Julie remembers a time when she lost her voice because she was “drunk” to communicate, like the time she trained on “Coffee take away” for more than 10,000 students for 3 months. “But in return, I feel like I have a lot of new energy,” she smiled. Going to many places, drinking a lot of coffee in different countries, Julie appreciates the coffee beans of her homeland. She is also proud that Vietnam produces one of the best quality coffees in the world. However, when working with foreign partners, Julie always feels like her country’s coffee beans are not respected in international politics. Once she was a judge in an Asian coffee contest, she felt more deeply about the world’s view of her country. “I don’t feel proud when people think I’m a judge from Japan, Korea or a country other than Vietnam. I feel proud when they look down on both the contestants and the Vietnamese coffee makers. From that moment on, I set a goal for myself to become the best in international coffee competitions, as a contestant as well as a judge. More than that, I have to become a coffee teacher in other countries, not just in my homeland,” Julie confided. Since 2017, Julie has become the youngest technical judge and chief judge at world championships in sensory subjects in Korea, Latte Art in Singapore, Myanmar, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines… She also became the President of the International Association of Coffee Training Schools, a member of the World Specialty Coffee Association, the European Coffee Association, a lecturer of the Korea Coffee Research and Development Institute, etc. In big competitions, Julie wants to introduce Vietnamese coffee culture through the most beautiful coffee products with the natural scent of her homeland. But when she returned to her daily work, Julie was not too picky about enjoying coffee. For her, a good cup of coffee is about achieving a balance between cultural, culinary and spiritual factors. So, she can enjoy espresso made with the best machine and also be happy to drink a cup of natural flavor filter coffee. Even a cup of coffee brewed with a racket did not reach any technical indicators, but Julie still found it extremely delicious to enjoy with a hot banana cake at a resident’s house in Bali, in the midst of vast nature. big on a beautiful day. Coffee in each place is delicious in its own way, because it is associated with the people and culture of each land. Coffee beans have become a bridge connecting freely in the culture of enjoyment, independence and difference of peoples around the world. And people will feel happy when they understand their own feelings.

Chinese scientist Yuan Longping passed away at the age of 91 on May 22. Photo: scmp.com China’s top rice researcher has died at a hospital in Trường Sa city, capital of Hunan province. Born in Beijing in 1930, agronomist Yuan Longping succeeded in creating the world’s first high-yield hybrid rice in 1973. With five decades of research on hybrid rice varieties grown on the ground. Covering 9% of the world’s total arable land, Academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering has helped nearly 20% of the world’s population escape hunger. This hybrid rice variety can yield 20% higher than conventional rice varieties. After that, this rice variety was widely grown in China and many other regions around the world. Currently, about 16 million hectares of agricultural land in China is planted with this hybrid rice variety, accounting for 57% of the total rice area in the country, thereby helping to feed an additional 80 million people every year. Agronomist Vien Long Binh has contributed to making China one of the world’s leading rice producers. With this success and contribution, he is considered the “father” of hybrid rice. In recent years, scientist Vien Long Binh and his research team are still breeding and developing a hybrid rice variety that can be grown in saltwater environments. Scientist Vien Long Binh once said that he has two dreams, which is “enjoying the coolness under the shade of rice plants taller than a person’s head” and that hybrid rice can be widely grown around the world to solve the problem. global food shortage.

Mr. Vien Long Binh – who is known as the father of hybrid rice in China. The father of hybrid rice Vien Long Binh died in Trường Sa city, capital of Hunan province, China due to old age and serious illness, Xinhua news agency reported. Mr. Vien was born in 1930. He led Chinese agricultural scientists to increase rice yield from 300 kg/acre to over 1,000 kg/acre. Each Chinese acre is equivalent to 666.6m2. This achievement of Mr. Vien and his associates is considered as the key to helping China solve the food security problem for more than a billion people in this country. Hybrid rice later appeared in dozens of countries in Africa, America and Asia, yielding higher yields than traditional rice. China has named four celestial bodies in outer space after Mr. Yuan Longping was once awarded the “Order of the Republic of the Nation”, the highest honor that China bestows on an individual. During his lifetime, Mr. Vien was famous for requiring that all doctors he trained or worked at the unit had to go to the fields. He himself, at the age of 88, still spends at least 5 hours a day in the fields. “Computers are very important, books are very important, but books can’t grow wet rice, can’t grow wheat. We now have a number of PhDs who are heavy on theory, but ignore practice, understand it. A lot of knowledge from books, but without practice, nothing can be done,” said Mr. Vien. Mr. Vien predicts that taking advantage of biotechnology to breed agricultural crops is the development orientation and inevitable trend in the future. Regarding food from genetically modified technology, Mr. Vien said it is necessary to have a cautious attitude, not to deny it completely.

However, Siamese fish do not become such vivid “works of art” on their own. The color and shape of the fins of this fish are the product of a millennium of breeding. According to Yi-Kai Tea, a PhD student at the University of Sydney who studies the evolution and characteristics of fish species, “Literally, the development process of this fish is almost the same. with the domestication of dogs”. A new study, published in April in BioRxiv, finds that humans began domesticating Siamese fish at least 1,000 years ago through sequencing the species’ genome. During a millennium of careful breeding and crossbreeding, Siamese fish are now extremely diverse in appearance. However, this also means that wild, purebred individuals of this species must undergo major genetic changes. The authors of this study say that by sequencing and conducting genetic studies of the Siamese fish, they can gain a lot of information about how it was domesticated, bred, and genetically modified. The Siamese’s intricate coloration and “matchy” fins are the product of a millennium of carefully selected breeding. Yi-Kai Tea hailed it as “the first major study to help identify the genetic basis of beauty” in this fish. All 73 species of Siamese fish are native to Southeast Asia. But the most common species sold in aquarium stores and markets is the fighting fish. This strain is much more colorful than most other purebred varieties of the Siamese family. “The purebred Siamese will often look very different from the ornamental Siamese,” said Young Mi Kwon, a researcher at Columbia University and lead author of the study. “They have short fins, are somewhat duller in color and lack the prominent fin walking commonly seen in ornamental Siamese breeds.” While domesticated Siamese are usually very aggressive and do not live together, their domesticated individuals have a more peaceful disposition. “This may be because the Siamese aquarium lines were originally domesticated for fighting, like fighting cocks,” Kwon added. Siamese fish has a history of 1,000 years. In the late 19th century, breeders began to focus on creating varieties of ornamental fish, which later became extremely popular in the West. “This history has shaped the ornamental Siamese fish we see today, a truly magnificent fish with a fiery temperament,” commented Kwon. To determine the exact history of the formation of the ornamental Siamese fish we see today, Kwon and his colleagues collected DNA samples from purebred Siamese and house-raised Siamese fish, and then proceeded to analyze them. their genome sequences. “We were surprised by the evolution of the Siamese fish that lasted at least 1,000 years ago, which makes it one of the oldest known fish,” Kwon said. While previous studies have shown that Siamese fish were bred as early as the 13th century, recent discoveries have proven that they began to be bred long before that. The study also highlights why breeders are able to create dozens of different varieties of Siamese by color, from red, yellow and blue, to Siamese with large fins, small fins and even multiple colors per individual. Just imagine the new shape of a Siamese fish, it can completely be created and exist in reality. “Many traits, which breeders are selecting for, are regulated by very few genes that have a great deal of influence,” Kwon said. “This means that it won’t take a lot of cross-breeding to get them to have their own characteristics or traits that you want your fish to have.” The researchers also found that ornamental Siamese fish are genetically distinct from purebred Siamese fish. However, they were surprised to discover that the ornamental Siamese had crossed with purebred fish. This crossbreeding may have been the result of the Siamese being released into the wild, which could potentially undermine efforts to preserve the purebred of this fish. “The ornamental Siamese fish will most likely dominate the natural environment, if they are more suitable to the habitat than the purebred fish,” Kwon emphasized. Many purebred Siamese fish breeds are in danger of extinction and the main cause is habitat loss. By studying in more detail the evolutionary history of this fish, the researchers hope to improve our understanding of how other species are bred and genetically engineered. Although much remains to be learned such as how crossbreeding affects Siamese fish, genetic engineering has resulted in the creation of many splendid Siamese fish of stunning colors and shapes that were previously available. This may never have existed. Sapphire According to the New York Times

Ms. Trinh Thi Mai from Yen Xa, Hanoi, two weeks ago started selling Dak Lak pink lychee. She said, this is the first fabric of the season that she imported from the Central Highlands to sell to gourmets. “Dak Lak persimmon usually ripens early and yields earlier than other lychees in the country. Usually, this type of fabric will start to ripen from April, until May is the end of the season. Years ago, many people ordered this pink fabric. Every day, I sell weights even though the price is up to 100,000 VND/kg when I go to Hanoi. But this year, the purchasing power dropped sharply even though the price of lychee fell to only 50,000 VND/kg. While at this price last year, customers can only buy loose fruit, without branches, without leaves, “Ms. Mai said. The first fabric of this year’s season is half as cheap as last year This small trader shared, because it is just the beginning of the season, the lychee is not 100% sweet but only about 70% sweet, still a little sour. However, these lychees are still very fresh and delicious. This fabric is therefore still ordered by gourmets to enjoy and housewives to buy offerings on weekdays and full moon days. “The early season lychee is very fresh and sweet, with thick pulp, thin skin, and large, uniform fruits. Because it is beautiful and has a much cheaper price than usual, many customers still order 1-2kg to burn incense. But in general, purchasing power this year is slower than last year because of the Covid-19 epidemic, consumers spend more sparingly. Every day I can only sell about 10-20 kg of lychee,” said Mai. Also a small trader is selling litchi at the beginning of the season, but Ms. Tran Thi Huyen sells hybrid fabrics. Although at the beginning of the season, Huyen sells for only 25,000 VND / kg, 100,000 VND / 4 kg. Huyen said that these are hybrid lychee branches, sweet and sour taste. They are picked at the lychee garden in her hometown, Hung Yen, so they are very fresh. Because it is the fabric of the house, she sells it at a cheaper price than at the market. “Every year, fabric is usually exported to China. But this year, the export market is very quiet, the gardeners are absent from traders who come to deposit to buy. Therefore, the lychee is ripe until it is cut.” Because it is the first type of Northern litchi at the beginning of the season, it has the same cheap price as other popular fruits, so when she sold it online, it attracted the attention of many housewives. Customers often order from 2kg or more to burn incense or taste. “Last year, my family sold lychee at wholesale markets for about 30,000 VND/kg. Selling online, I offer 40,000 VND/kg. Meanwhile, many online shops also sell 50,000-60,000 VND/kg. However, this year the pandemic ended, so I sold it at that price and received a lot of support from many sisters,” Huyen said. According to PV’s observations, on the online market at this time, many small traders sell hybrid fabrics, pink lychee, and egg yolk litchi grown in Quang Ninh and Hung Yen. Because the small traders said, this time there is no lychee. This fabric is about a month away from the main crop. This small trader commented: “Although hybrid lychees and lychees are not as delicious as Bac Giang lychees, their fruits are quite large, round, succulent, and do not have head decay. In particular, the cloth is clean without preservatives, safer than many other fruits.” Before the complicated development of the new Covid-19 epidemic, many lychee sellers also expressed concern that the purchasing power of lychee was low and could not be exported. Despite the large number of customers ordering, the number of customers decreased significantly compared to last year, and in the main season, the price of cloth will surely decrease even more. “Therefore, our family is considering a plan to promote retailing at markets, especially wholesale markets, toad markets and online markets. In addition, try to connect with supermarkets to see if they can push fabrics to sell. Besides, there will also be a plan to dry and store cold to sell gradually”, Ms. Huyen shared.

Toyota Cross HV operates in the inner city of big cities in Vietnam The picture of electrified vehicles in Vietnam At the seminar on electrified vehicles in Vietnam organized by Tien Phong newspaper, sharing about the picture of electric cars in the world and Vietnam, Expert Nguyen Trung Hieu – Head of Policy Planning Department TMV said: a unit that has the conditions to participate in the research and production of electric vehicles, we have a general view of the picture of electrified cars as follows: Firstly, from the 70s of the last century, when the gasoline crisis When oil broke out, car manufacturers were forced to find a new direction, which is to find a way to replace internal combustion engine fuel. Second is the factor of climate because internal combustion engines contribute to the cause. Therefore, global warming is caused by the third is the concentration of too many vehicles using internal combustion engines, which causes air pollution, and the fourth is that along with the development of society, the technological trend is a condition. necessary to contribute to the promotion of production. Therefore, since the 70s, car manufacturers have been looking for new directions in vehicles using clean energy.” When the chairperson asked the question, is the price an important issue affecting the development of electric vehicles in Vietnam? Mr. Nguyen Trung Hieu said: the general car price includes production costs and taxes. For electric vehicles, there is a discount on prices due to the decreasing price of batteries. The second is in terms of tax, currently the Vietnamese government has preferential treatment for electric vehicles. Therefore, the factors of usage habits and some other factors are the issues that need attention. Maybe in about 5-10 years, the electric vehicle market will be doubled, tripled and the price will decrease. Currently Toyota has a full range of models, but it is only a matter of when to launch to match the status and development potential of the country. To do this is a matter of policy. In general, the picture of electric vehicles is a story of national challenges, and seizing the opportunities is a national problem. Outstanding advantages of electrified vehicles Toyota Cross uses environmentally friendly electrified vehicle technology Toyota Vietnam and Hanoi University of Science and Technology (HUST) have cooperated, discussed and implemented a project to monitor and evaluate the performance of gasoline cars and hybrid gasoline-electric vehicles (Hybrid) in 4 areas. factors include Fuel Consumption, Emission Level, Safety and Driving Experience under real conditions. During the period from October 23, 2020 to December 23, 2020, with test conditions including actual roads, labs and test sites in peak hours, normal hours / ring roads , radial roads, inner city roads, one-way roads, research results show that the advantages of Hybrid cars are maximum fuel savings, low exhaust levels, smooth and powerful operation, and very smooth and quiet. In particular, Hybrid cars can save fuel and reduce CO2 emissions from 1.5 to 2 times compared to conventional cars, so they are very environmentally friendly. Why is the hybrid car line suitable for the current situation in Vietnam? Sharing about why hybrid cars are suitable for Vietnam’s current situation, Mr. Mai Ngoc Tuy, Head of Technical Service Department of Toyota Motor Vietnam said, firstly, with this model, we There is no need to change the user’s usage behavior. Because the way to use this car is like using an internal combustion engine car today. Second, there is no need to invest in infrastructure, which is extremely expensive. Third, if using hybrid cars, it will have less impact on socio-economic issues. Because if using this vehicle, the gasoline supply chain will not be affected and the problem of solving social jobs will not change.

The picture of electrochemical cars in the world Currently, the strong socio-economic development is leading to a skyrocketing number of vehicles, especially cars using combustion engines, which are contributing to a series of problems related to cars. environmental contamination as well as energy needs. However, the electrochemical trend is being applied more and more on vehicles, creating hybrids and electric cars, this is considered the “savior” of humanity in the future. The proof for that is that the sales of these vehicles are on the rise. According to the EV Volumes , the total volume of electric cars (EV) sold globally in 2020 will reach about 3.24 million units, reaching a market share of 4.2% and growing at 43.4% compared to 2019. Of which, 1.15 million units were produced in Europe, 0.5 million units were produced in North America and 1.6 million units were made in the Asia-Pacific region (China, Korea, Japan). The Workshop on Electrified Automotive Trends in Vietnam was recently organized by Tien Phong Newspaper. Currently, China is still the country with the top sales of electric cars in the world with 1.337 million units in 2020, an increase of 12% compared to 2019; Germany ranked second with 398 thousand units, up 254%; The US ranked third with sales of 328,000 units, up 4%. According to the share of Associate Professor – Dr. Dam Hoang Phuc (Deputy Head of Automotive Department – Hanoi University of Technology), cars with electric batteries have appeared since 1839. Over time In short development, electric cars almost disappeared due to the inability to compete with combustion engine cars in the 20th century. However, the mission of this vehicle went back into the 21st century with green cars, most economical and intelligent to protect the environment, limit dependence on fossil fuels. In addition, electric cars not only appear in people’s lives, but also present in all areas such as: Confidential military vehicles, F1 Hybrid racing cars, F1 racing for pure electric cars. Associate Professor – Dr. Dam Hoang Phuc (Deputy Head of Automotive Department – Hanoi University of Technology) gave a speech during the seminar on Electrochemical Automotive Trends in Vietnam. Meanwhile, some forecasts suggest that electric cars will account for 95% of all cars sold in Europe by 2030. Many countries in the “old continent” have set a goal to stop doing business. cars using internal combustion engines by 2050, Norway even announced it would end the sale of these cars by 2025. Developing electric cars in Vietnam needs many supportive policies According to the global trend, the Vietnamese market is also beginning to “set foot” in the electric vehicle sector with the bold direction of VinFast and some cautious moves from Toyota in the past year or so. There are no specific statistics on sales of electric vehicles (both motorcycles and cars) in Vietnam, but disclosures from industry agencies show that the number is not too much. Mr. Nguyen Van Phuong (Deputy Department of Motor Vehicle Quality – Vietnam Registry Department) shared: “In 2020, only 900 electric cars will be imported and used in Vietnam, this number is in the first three months. by 2021 there will be 600 units, however, the majority of them will still be hybrids ”. Mr. Nguyen Van Phuong (Deputy Head of Motor Vehicle Quality Division – Vietnam Registry Department). In fact, there are many opinions that “electrification is an irreversible trend, only a matter of time left”, but there are still many current problems that need to be solved to help this car thrive. more next time. On the concerned side, Mr. Phuong said: “In the new proposal to the parliament, the Ministry of Transport also mentioned tight control of environmental emissions from vehicles and will probably be seen. considered in the next National Assembly session. Regarding the control of the operation scope of all types of vehicles, it can be done, but there is no specific policy ”. Meanwhile, Ms. Nguyen Thi Xuan Thuy (Department of Industry – Ministry of Industry and Trade) replied about the electric vehicle development policy in Vietnam: “Currently, the latest automobile development strategy and planning has been approved by the government. approved in 2014. At that time there was not much appearance of electric vehicles, so there was no specific strategic plan. Electric vehicles have thrived in recent years, posing a problem that needs direction ”. Ms. Nguyen Thi Xuan Thuy (Industry Department – Ministry of Industry and Trade). It can be seen that the current policies for electric cars are not clear enough to strongly promote this industry. While many opinions suggest that the government needs to reduce tax fees for consumers to make the price of electric vehicle ownership more comfortable, manufacturers also need specific support. This is not only a policy story but also a challenge but also an opportunity for the nation. Associate Professor – Dr. Dam Hoang Phuc said: “The government needs to facilitate the development of electric vehicles by: Creating markets, expanding manufacturers, promoting manufacturers and researchers. “. At the same time, he also added: “Our country needs to apply the policy of ‘Inviting eagles to Vietnam to spawn’, which means inviting car manufacturers to produce electric cars in Vietnam”. Sharing on this issue, Mr. Nguyen Trung Hieu (Head of Strategic Planning Division of Toyota Vietnam) said: “Thailand launched its support policy in March, while Indonesia will announce its policy. strong in October, attracting many car manufacturers to invest. In fact, they have ‘finished the nest for the eagle’. Vietnam needs to do something so as not to miss this opportunity as well as this challenge. This is a story of national competition ”. Mr. Nguyen Trung Hieu (Head of Strategic Planning Department of Toyota Vietnam). Capturing the trend of electric car development will help Vietnam catch up with major markets around the world. However, the issue of supportive policies from the government needs to be resolved early to stimulate consumer demand and find a common voice with car manufacturers, helping them to no longer worry about the production of electric cars in Vietnam. Vietnam.

What does “human-monkey hybrid embryo” mean?

Our reporter/Peng Danni Li Mingzi

Issued in the 993th issue of China News Weekly on 2021.4.26

By implanting human stem cells into embryos of other animals, we may one day cultivate new organs in animals for patients with heart or kidney failure. In the process of moving towards this ultimate goal, Chinese and American scientists succeeded in cultivating a “human-monkey hybrid embryo” with a higher survival rate for the first time.

On April 15, the Institute of Primate Translational Medicine of Kunming University of Science and Technology and the provincial and ministerial departments jointly established the State Key Laboratory of Non-human Primate Biomedicine Ji Weizhi, Niu Yuyu, Tan Tao, Dai Shaoxing’s research group and the Salk Institute of the United States The staff published an article in the journal Cell, assessing the chimeric ability of human expanded pluripotent stem cells (hEPS) in cynomolgus monkeys. It has aroused ethical discussions and concerns among the public: this is a “human-monkey hybrid.” ? Wang Xiaoqun, a researcher at the Beijing Institute of Biophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, explained to China News Weekly that, unlike this shocking claim, this experiment explored whether a small number of human embryonic stem cells fused with monkey early embryos can differentiate with the embryos. , This is actually just a proof of concept.

Xeno-chimerism research: from mice to monkeys

Since the 1970s, scientists from all over the world have been using heterogeneous chimeras, such as sheep-goat chimeras, rat-mouse chimeras, etc., to answer basic developmental biology questions, and they have produced some exciting results. . In 2017, scientists transplanted pancreas developed from mouse stem cells into rat embryos, curing the latter’s diabetes. Embryos containing cells from different species are called “chimera embryos”.

At present, mice are the main mixed embryo host, but due to the large difference in embryo size and gestation period between rodents and humans, it is necessary to find other more suitable chimeric hosts. The first research on chimerism in large animals was carried out by Belmont, a professor at the Salk Institute for Biology in the United States, who was also one of the authors of this paper.

In 2012, Japanese researcher Shinya Yamanaka won the Nobel Prize for his research on induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). His research shows that the expression of four transcription factors in mature cells can transform mature cells into induced pluripotent stem cells with embryonic morphology. This gave Belmont an enlightenment. If these human induced pluripotent stem cells are transplanted into animals, can they replicate the development of human embryos in animals?

In 2017, Belmont and his colleague Wu Jun and others injected human stem cells into pig embryos. The paper was published in the journal Cell. At the time, Belmont said that the ultimate goal of the research was to grow human cells, tissues and organs for transplantation in animals. However, because the two are far from each other, there is a big evolutionary difference. After the embryo develops in the sow for 3 to 4 weeks, only one cell per 100,000 cells belongs to human beings, so this goal is still far away. .

What happens if human stem cells are placed in monkey embryos that are more closely related to humans? Wu Jun, one of the authors of the paper and an assistant professor in the Department of Molecular Biology at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, told China News Weekly that after discovering that the research on human-pig chimerism did not work well, they considered turning to monkeys and found Kunming on the other side of the ocean Professor Ji Weizhi and Tan Tao from the University of Science and Technology.

The team of Ji Weizhi, academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and dean of the Institute of Primate Translational Medicine of Kunming University of Science and Technology, has more monkey resources and has also done basic research on monkey and human embryo development. Related to this research, in October 2019, they collaborated with Belmont and published a paper in Science, claiming that they have established a culture system that can culture cynomolgus monkey embryos in vitro for up to 20 days. .

In this latest study, the researchers first isolated fertilized eggs from cynomolgus monkeys, grown them in a petri dish, in vitro fertilization and development to the sixth day, they injected 132 monkey embryos with 25 human embryos. Expand pluripotent stem cells. Subsequently, the researchers observed the development of these embryos to understand whether the two types of cells can coexist.

Ten days after fertilization, 103 chimeric embryos continued to develop, nearly 80%, but after that, the survival rate of the embryos dropped rapidly: after 11 days, the number was 91; after 17 days, the number became 12; it reached the 19th day. Today, only 3 chimeric embryos are still alive, which is also the limit of the current in vitro culture of cynomolgus monkey embryos. On the 20th day, all the embryos died and the embryo in vitro culture ended.

Arias, a developmental biologist at the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom, believes that the data in this study is not convincing. The survival rate of embryos drops rapidly after 15 days, indicating that the condition of these chimeric embryos is not good. Wu Jun explained that monkey embryos that have not been injected with human cells cannot develop after 15 days in vitro, not because of chimeric embryos, but because the embryo culture system itself is not very mature.

Although the survival rate is not high, the percentage of human cells in the continuous growth of human-monkey chimera blastocysts is as high as 4%. “This result proves that human-monkey chimeric embryos are more efficient than human stem cells and other species.” Ji Weizhi, the corresponding author of the paper, said in an interview with the media that in the human-pig and human-mouse chimeric embryos previously reported by academia, human stem cells accounted for only about one-thousandth to one-tenth of a million.

However, Wang Xiaoqun said that it is impossible for these embryos to continue to develop because the number of cells is very small, and they are slowly diluted; and after the primate’s immune system is established, it recognizes that this is not its own cell, it will Human cells are killed.

Is it against ethical norms?

The ethical controversy surrounding the study of human-animal hybrid embryos has not stopped.

Japan lifted the ban on “human-animal chimerism” in 2019. Previously, Japan stipulated that animal embryos containing human cells cannot be cultured for more than 14 days, but the new rules allow that under scientifically reasonable and necessary conditions, chimeric embryos can not only continue to be cultivated after 14 days, but also allowed to be transplanted into surrogate animals. , But it cannot be combined with human germ cells in any way.

Currently, experiments with chimeric embryos are not banned in China, but ethical approval is required. According to a report in the Spanish newspaper La Nacional in August 2019, Belmonte has been collaborating with Chinese researchers. The latest sources of funding for this research are the National Natural Science Foundation, Yunnan local basic scientific research project funding, a Spanish university and an American foundation.

The National Institutes of Health stipulates that federal funds cannot be used to create human-monkey hybrid embryos. However, Wu Jun said that human-monkey inlays can be made in the United States, but they need to be approved by the ethics committee. In terms of funding, The US government does not provide financial support, but there are other sources of funds, personal donations, and so on.

Niu Yuyu, a professor of biology at Kunming University of Science and Technology, another corresponding author of the paper, also said in an interview with the media: “Our entire experiment was performed in vitro, without entering the body. In vitro culture is like culturing cells and does not produce individuals. For our work, this is an important ethical boundary.” In the paper, the researcher also attached the process of receiving ethical review.

Wang Xiaoqun said that prior to this, Japanese scientists used monkeys to study early embryonic development. There were hundreds of monkeys used to provide eggs and serve as surrogate mothers. This shows the importance of this problem. The embryo in vitro culture system of cynomolgus monkeys established by Ji Weizhi and Niu Yuyu of Kunming University of Science and Technology can just solve this ethical problem.

After the publication of this paper, Henry Greeley of Stanford University and Nita Falani of Duke University published a review article “Advancing the Ethical Dialogue About Monkey/Human Chimeric Embryos” and pointed out that the human cells in the chimeric blastocysts, It may develop into various parts of the embryo, and then differentiate into more controversial cells, but these are all later, provided that the chimeric embryo containing human cells can and is allowed to develop.

Ways to solve the gap in the number of transplanted organs include: 3D printing, culturing organoids in vitro, directly transplanting organs from other animals, or letting chimeric animals “grow” human organs. Although this research may help to facilitate the realization of chimera organs one day, at present, it can not afford such high expectations.

Qiu Zilong, a researcher at the Center for Excellence in Brain Science and Intelligent Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, told China News Weekly that this research is fully in line with the scientific research ethics consensus and does not involve the gene editing or modification of human fertilized eggs. Moreover, the research is not to give birth to mixed human and animal embryos, but to clarify the development principles of early embryos and lay the research foundation for human organ transplantation. As far as he knows, the famous Chinese scientist and Professor Zhang Yi of Harvard University have also done similar research.

Wang Xiaoqun said that this study does not simply extend the observation of human embryonic development from 14 days to 21 days, but observes the partial development of human cells in a living environment. Take the development of cardiomyocytes as an example. In the past, cardiomyocytes could be differentiated in vitro using petri dishes, but after all, it is still different from the in vivo environment. In addition, with this model, if it can be scaled up, it can actually help small molecule drug screening.

Although human-monkey chimerism has achieved higher efficiency, there is still a long way to go to truly cultivate allogeneic organs. Ji Weizhi estimates that it may take about 10 years to finally achieve this goal at the current speed of scientific and technological development.

Grilled pork hybrid dish with bamboo tube. According to Ms. Lien, this dish is not processed too fussy but requires meticulousness, it is important that the ingredients are fresh, including the outer bamboo tube. “Meat must be delicious, fresh, with fat and lean skin, balanced and fresh. And the bamboo tube must also be very fresh, when customers order, we cut the bamboo in the morning, then the bamboo will be sweet and fragrant. And when the meat is grilled, it is delicious. After marinating and letting for about 15 minutes to soak the spices, the pork is put into a bamboo tube, the end of the tube is covered with banana leaves and grilled over embers or in the high pressure oven for about 1 hour. Pork is seasoned and left for about 15 minutes. For grilling on a charcoal stove, grill is very important. To avoid burning, the griller needs to observe to turn the tube over, so that the meat is cooked evenly. When the bamboo tube outside is scorched yellow, the aroma of meat spreads can be enjoyed. Pork grilled on bamboo tube will look like steamed pork because it is grilled through a layer of bamboo, so the meat is fragrant while keeping the softness, the skin is crispy, the fat is fat but less greasy. The cooked meat does not smell smoke, coal ash, is not too dry due to dehydration. This dish is served with salt green chili and herbs. The pungent taste of the chili and the aroma of the meat create an attractive dish for visitors. Ms. Nguyen Thi Hoai Bao, from Quang Phu town, Cu Mgar district, Dak Lak province, when enjoying this dish, feels, “The dish has a unique characteristic of the Central Highlands, the taste is very delicious and rich. Ede people are infused with spices, so it feels difficult to describe when eating, including lemongrass, galangal, pepper, and the taste of some leaves that only people have. New people in the Central Highlands have “. After seasoning, the pork is put into a fresh bamboo tube. According to Ms. Nguyen Thi Ngoc Anh, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Ko Tam Ecotourism and Community Culture Company, the steamed hybrid pork dish, grilled bamboo tube is processed according to the traditional cuisine of the Ede people in Dak Lak. and blended, marinated with natural ingredients available, so that brings its own unique flavor here. In particular, hybrid pork is an ingredient that makes the dish unique, because hybrid pigs are bred from grass pigs (piglets) with wild boars. Along with the cooking process is a story about culture and environmental protection. That is why, recently, the steamed hybrid pork dish, grilled bamboo tube in Ko Tam tourist area was selected by the Vietnam Record organization to be in the Top 100 special dishes of Vietnam in 2020-2021. The end of the tube is covered with banana leaves. Ms. Nguyen Thi Ngoc Anh shared, “The province also introduced Dak Lak’s delicacies and the Institute of Records allowed people to check and evaluate many times, then announced and decided on the steamed pork hybrid dish, Grilled with bamboo tube, I am extremely happy because we have a story and we came up with a story when we do travel to create a regional specialty dish and preserve the varieties that heaven was born with. in my country “. The Ede people often used the way of baking on charcoal stove, repeatedly turning the meat in the tube well and not being burned. Thus, along with grilled chicken rice dish was in the Top 100 specialties of Vietnam (period 2011 – 2016), up to now, Dak Lak province has 2 dishes in the Top 100 of Vietnam. Along with that, in recent years, the dishes are made from the available ingredients of the local ethnic people such as bitter tomato soup, dried fish tomato salad, dishes from rattan buds, cloves leaves, … shows more and more in the menu of restaurants, eateries and is favored by customers. From the traditional ingredients and cooking methods, many chefs have suitable variations to suit the tastes of diners, creating a rich variety of dishes while still retaining the unique features in the cuisine of the local ethnic community./.

Following the global debut of the Lemon Hybrid DHT, Great Wall Motors’ Lemon Hybrid DHT conducted the world’s first live test live on April 15. The model tested this time is the WEY Macchiato, the first model of the Lemon Hybrid DHT.

In this live broadcast, Huang Zhenyang, Chief Engineer of Hybrid Power System of Great Wall Motors and General Manager of Lemon Hybrid DHT Development, Zhihu Professional PU Frey Liu and Navis Li were invited to participate in the actual vehicle test. In this actual vehicle test, a total of 4 interesting test items were set up, which not only presented the “fast, smooth, quiet and economical” product characteristics of the lemon hybrid DHT from multiple angles, but also demonstrated the technical value of the lemon hybrid DHT.

In the “fast” test session, the acceleration performance of the lemon hybrid DHT was tested. During the test, Frey Liu sat in the co-pilot with a balloon placed between the back and the seat. When the test-driving car was cruising steadily, the balloon remained motionless, and when the test-driving car accelerated rapidly, the balloon was instantly squeezed.

This is due to the excellent power performance of the lemon hybrid DHT. Huang Zhenyang said: “In the initial stage, electric drive is adopted. Compared with the engine, the motor can release the maximum torque at the moment of starting. There is no traditional gearbox and the transmission efficiency is very high. High, so the vehicle responds very quickly and has a strong sense of pushing back. In medium and high-speed road conditions, the system adopts engine direct drive. If a power request is received, it can achieve a downshift and acceleration effect similar to that of a fuel vehicle, not only switching from economic gear For the power transmission, the motor can participate in the output at the same time, forming a parallel mode, so that the acceleration ability can be improved.”

In the ride comfort test, after a series of operations such as starting, accelerating, and decelerating the water cup at the sunroof of the test-driving car, the juice in the water cup did not overflow. In this regard, Huang Zhenyang said, “The reason why the lemon hybrid DHT is excellent in terms of smoothness is that it has a set of modes and energy management and torque control strategies with completely independent intellectual property rights, including intelligent switching between series and direct drive modes, and no power. Interrupt shifting, intelligent clutch control, motor torque compensation matching and IGBT junction temperature estimation, etc.”.

The quiet performance of the Lemon Hybrid DH is also very outstanding. In the test “quiet”, a speaker is placed in the test drive site to simulate a noisy environment, and the test drive car circles the speaker. In the case of more than 90dB outside the car, the members in the car talk and communicate normally and keep floating in the range of 50-70dB. The overall performance is excellent, which can create a pure electric driving experience for users.

For the NVH adjustment, the hybrid 1.5L/1.5T engine used in the Lemon Hybrid DHT has been re-optimized for its overall NVH, including jitter, noise, etc., to minimize it, combined with the high-end sound insulation material of the vehicle itself Technologies such as improving NVH have greatly reduced the noise introduced into the car.

Fuel economy is the highlight of the Great Wall Lemon Hybrid DHT. In this test, WEY Macchiato conducted a 5km actual test, including starting, accelerating, braking, turning, etc. The average speed was 15km/h, and the apparent fuel consumption was 5.1L/100km.

In fact, the key to fuel-saving lemon hybrid DHT lies in its advanced dual-motor hybrid hybrid solution. Huang Zhenyang analyzed the technical principles: “In low-speed road conditions, the pure electric or series mode is used to directly drive the wheels through the motor to avoid the problem of low engine efficiency. In the medium and high-speed road conditions, it is switched to direct engine drive. It can save fuel by 10%-15% in series mode. And the direct drive of the engine has economy gear and power gear. The economy gear is used in steady state cruising. The power gear needs to be switched when accelerating, and the output is assisted by the motor to avoid transient engine load. High to achieve a perfect balance between power and fuel consumption.”

Relying on the technology accumulation of Great Wall Motors over the years, the Lemon Hybrid DHT has achieved the best power and economy in the full speed range and all scenarios, giving the product the product strength of “fast, smooth, quiet, and economical”. At the upcoming Shanghai Auto Show, WEY Macchiato equipped with this technology will be officially unveiled.

As a leading enterprise in the field of intelligent analysis and decision-making in China, Tongdun Technology is keenly aware that the business needs and technological innovation of enterprises are promoting the deployment of cloud computing, which is gradually evolving from “a cloud” to “multi-cloud” collaboration. This is because the “multi-cloud” scenario has four main advantages: flexibility, nearby response, avoiding single cloud vendor lock-in, and high reliability.

Tongdun Technology believes that when enterprise users build cloud-based resource interconnection scenarios, they must first do well in the operation and maintenance and control of the private cloud computer room within the enterprise; secondly, connect private and public clouds so that enterprises can use their own Like the data center, the business can easily perform flexible resource scheduling; the last is to achieve unified orchestration and management among multiple clouds. It can be seen from this step that building a network interconnection between the cloud and the cloud and the construction of a hybrid cloud platform are the key points.

The person in charge of the cloud native computing department of Tongdun Technology pointed out that at a time when digital transformation has become a “manifest” in all walks of life, although hybrid cloud has already been applied in some areas, many companies are concerned about how to make good use of hybrid cloud. There are still many challenges.

In this regard, the core advantages of “Tongdun Technology kubernetes hybrid cloud platform” can be attributed to: cross-cloud flexibility, image distribution, multi-cloud switching, and security. Up to now, the businesses running on Tongdun kubernetes hybrid cloud mainly include WEB business applications, machine learning applications, blockchain business applications, content security applications, offline computing, etc. The business service targets on the hybrid cloud cover 10,000+ companies, the number of API calls per day exceeds 100 million, and the peak TPS exceeds 100,000.

In addition, Tongdun Technology is currently working to build the TCLOUD Tongdun cloud management product, which uses its own rich and powerful cloud computing platform and technology to help customers reduce costs and increase efficiency, and empower enterprise business innovation and digital transformation and upgrading.

Toyota Crown Kluger SUV version is expected to be released in China soon

The 7-seater Toyota Crown Kluger has been revealed to be available in the Chinese market. Although it has not been officially announced by Toyota, the first images of this model have appeared, suggesting that the car will most likely debut at the upcoming Shanghai Auto Show this month.

Earlier, information from Japan from late last year also said that the current Crown label will be attached to an SUV, expected to be released in 2022. The United States and China will be the first markets to sell. this model.

The report also adds that the Toyota Crown SUV version will be called the Crown Kluger, developed based on the Highlander model applying the TNGA-K platform. The platform is also used on the Harrier, which debuted in Malaysia last week.

At a glance at the published images, the Toyota Crown Kluger will have the same overall look as the Highlander, but the front grille will be less chrome plated. The Crown logo is located in the center of the heatsink. The design of the fog lights on the exterior of the two models will also be different.

The tail design of the Toyota Crown Kluger has many similarities with the Highlander

The rear end, it seems that the Toyota Crown Kluger will also use the same design as the Highlander. But the rear trunk and lower bumper will be redesigned to make a difference.

Documents from China also reveal that the Toyota Crown Kluger will have a length, width, a height of 5,015 x 1,930 x 1,750 mm and a wheelbase of 2,850 mm. It also uses 18-inch sport wheels or 20-inch alloys.

The powertrain is said to be a 2.5-liter hybrid technology engine that produces 189 horsepower, lower than a similar engine on the Highlander sold in the US market.

Cuong Do boasted to order a “huge” box driver. Screenshots.

The image of Cuong Do La talking to the salesman revealed the paint color of the car that this giant chose not to “collide” with the two Ferrari SF90 Stradale cars that had returned to Vietnam before.

Ferrari SF90 Stradale was released in May 2019 to celebrate the 90th anniversary of Scuderia Ferrari. Ferrari’s new supercar is equipped with a turbocharged 4.0L V8 engine with a capacity of 769 hp, 800 Nm of torque with 3 electric motors (1 located between the engine and an 8-speed dual-clutch gearbox, 2 torque. silk in the front wheel cluster) with a capacity of 217 horsepower.

The highlight of the Ferrari SF90 Stradale that Cuong Do La ordered this time will be blue, different from the two red SF90 Stradale cars that returned to Vietnam earlier this year. This is also a familiar style of playing a car of this “mountain town” giant when he never buys a car “crashes”. Estimated, the rolling price of the super car is about 35-40 billion.

Canned box of Cuong Do La set has a unique color according to his preferences. As can be seen, the business man decided to buy a blue car, which is also his favorite color Dam Thu Trang.

Ferrari is one of the famous cars in the world with limited edition for super giants because the price is like “heaven” price. In the European market, Ferrari car prices reached $ 1.42 million. But the price is worthy of class because Ferrari owns a unique design that creates a very special attraction for the rich. The Ferrari line of cars has both luxury, sophistication and pits, strong enough to attract all eyes when they appear on the street.

Supercars of Cuong Do La.

After his marriage, Dam Thu Trang, his hobby of playing supercars became stronger. Currently, Cuong Do La has a happy life with his wife and children.

It is known that the couple has just completed their own villa. The villa space revealed by Cuong Do La has a spacious area with a crane system to transport and display super cars with “huge” value at home.

The couple Cuong Do La – Dam Thu Trang, both have hobby of playing super cars.

Truc Chi (th)

The leaked specifications are not exactly identical to those of the Highlander. The car is 5,015 mm long, 1,930 mm wide and 1,750 mm high. Compared with the Highlander sold in the US, the Crown Kluger is a bit longer and taller, the same width. The 2,850 mm wheelbase is also the common point of the two cars.

Toyota Crown Kluger

According to Autohome, the Toyota Crown Kluger will not be as powerful as the Highlander XSE. The Crown Kluger’s hybrid system uses a 2.5L petrol engine combined with an electric motor, for 189 horsepower, much lower than the 295 horsepower from the 3.5L V6 engine of the Highlander XSE. Even if compared to the Highlander XLE hybrid, the Crown Kluger is still 54 hp less.

There is no information about the interior design, however, it is likely that the car will be equipped with more advanced materials than the Highlander despite sharing the same design. This is supposed to match the name Crown which is a car symbol of luxury in Japan.

It is expected that the Crown Kluger model will be officially launched at the Shanghai Auto Show, which will take place from April 21 to 28.
