Chapter 212

On the day of the Lantern Festival, Gu Lu spent it with Su Xi.

In order to repay Su Xi's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner on the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, on the day of the Lantern Festival, Gu Lu took Su Xi out for a big meal.

Well, the buffet!

After the Lantern Festival, school will start soon.

Gu Lu is preparing for the new semester and the work of the research group.

In the new semester, the content of Gu Lu's teaching has not changed.

He is still in charge of the two courses "Mathematical Analysis" in the Department of Mathematics and "Advanced Mathematics" in the Department of Clinical Medicine.

The results of "Advanced Mathematics" for the clinical medicine major last semester have already come out.

Gu Lu took the time to take a look.

The failure rate is 0%.

Of the nearly 100 students, five students got perfect scores, and more than 30 students scored above 90 points.

This is much higher than the school average.

But Gu Lu can't be called satisfied.

I thought that with the bonus of those sets of mock papers, at least nearly half of them would be above ninety, but in fact, there were only more than thirty people.

"Next semester, you have to be more strict!" Gu Lu thought in his heart.

The preparation for the lesson began after the Lantern Festival, but in fact, due to the difficulty of the course itself, Gu Lu couldn't waste much time at all.

In the past few days, Gu Lu has focused most of his energy on the new project, that is, the research work that proves the BAB conjecture.

A general research framework has been set up by Gu Lu.

It is still a fairly complete and comprehensive research system with the minimum model program as the starting point and the farno cluster as the research object.

In the framework, Gu Lu divides the entire research process into four major parts and more than a dozen small parts.

At present, Gu Lu is preparing to start the first part of the study, that is, the connection between the standard cluster and the Fano cluster to construct the minimalist program.

This is the simplest part, and again, the "foundation" of the whole paper.

Once the foundation is determined, it is difficult to modify it unless it ...... Tear it all down and start over!

Gu Lu chose the minimalist program as a key to open the door to the BAB conjecture, the reason has been said, but whether it can succeed, to be honest, Gu Lu is not 100% sure.

But sixty or seventy percent certainty is still there, otherwise Gu Lu would not have chosen to fight so decisively!

Research work has already begun.

But what makes Gu Lu feel a lot of pain is that his scientific research fund application report has been submitted for more than ten days, but he has not received any response so far.

This is very abnormal.

You must know that Yan University's support for the scientific research work of in-service faculty and staff is very huge.

Within Yan University alone, there are university-level scientific research funds and college-level scientific research funds for scientific researchers to apply for.

And Yan University School of Mathematics.

Mathematical research does not require large and expensive equipment, precious materials, and specialized laboratories.

All you need is pen and paper.

However, although the share of scientific research funds obtained by the School of Mathematics of Yan University is not as good as that of the School of Physics and the School of Chemistry, it is not much worse than that of other colleges.

As a result, it is very easy for the faculty of the School of Mathematics of Yan University to apply for the research fund of the school.

As long as the amount is not too large and the purpose of the funds is clear, the approval process is fast.

This time, Gu Lu only applied for a scientific research fund of 30,000 yuan, just so that he could pay some wages to the hired students.

Unexpectedly, more than ten days have passed, and his scientific research fund application report is like a stone sinking into the sea, and there is no response.

On the contrary, the 100,000 yuan rewarded for the paper had already arrived yesterday.

Just when Gu Lu was about to write another scientific research fund application report and send it to the college, the phone suddenly remembered.

"Senior brother?"

Looking at the caller ID, Gu Lu couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

Because it was none other than Gu Lu's senior brother Bao Songquan, who is also the current vice president of the Yan University Academy.

After being stunned for a few seconds, Gu Lu answered the phone, "Hey, senior brother." ”

Bao Songquan smiled and asked, "Gu Lu, where are you now?"

"I'm in the office. ”

"Well, let's come upstairs to my office, I have something to discuss with you. Bao Songquan paused and added, "Something about your research fund." ”

Gu Lu was puzzled, but he still nodded, and while answering, he got up and put on his coat, "Okay." Brother, I'll go over right away. ”

A minute later.

Knock knock~~~

Gu Lu knocked on the door of Vice Dean Bao Songquan's office.

"Please come in!" came Bao Song's full of anger from inside.

Having said that, this is the second time Gu Lu has come to Bao Songquan's office.

I remember the last time I came was at the beginning of last semester.

"Do you want to drink tea?" Bao Songquan motioned for Gu Lu to sit down first, and then got up to pick up the teacup.

Gu Lu waved his hand politely, "Senior brother, no need." Let's get down to business. ”

Bao Songquan nodded and sat back on the office chair, "Then let's talk about business first." ”

"I told you on the phone, I called you here to talk to you about your research fund. ”

Gu Lu frowned slightly, "It's my scientific research fund application report that is unqualified, so I didn't approve it?"

However, if it is just a simple scientific research fund that has not been approved, it should not be possible to let Bao Songquan, the vice president, notify himself.

"No, no, no!" Bao Songquan waved his hand and smiled bitterly, "Gu Lu, I guess you have misunderstood, I have already read your fund application report, it is only a scientific research fund of 30,000 yuan, and our college has not been so picky and does not give you approval." ”

"Senior brother, then why ......" Gu Lu raised his head in confusion and looked at Bao Songquan.

"You want to ask, why has your fund application been delayed for so long, right?" Bao Songquan picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then said with a smile, "Actually, during this time, I have been thinking about one thing, but I can't make a decision, so I called you over to discuss." ”

Gu Lu leaned forward and asked, "What's the matter?"

Bao Songquan stared at Gu Lu with burning eyes, "Gu Lu, do you want to select this year's Outstanding Youth Science Fund?"

Outstanding Young Scientist Fund!

Gu Lu was stunned.

Gu Lu has a certain understanding of the Outstanding Youth Science Fund.

The Outstanding Youth Science Fund, also known as the "Excellent Youth", is a foreshadowing science and technology support fund of the National Fund for Distinguished Young Scholars.

The Outstanding Young Scientists Fund is managed by the National Natural Science Foundation of China and is a real national scientific research fund.

The Outstanding Young Scholars Science Fund project is to support young scholars who have achieved good results in basic research to independently choose research directions to carry out innovative research, promote the rapid growth of young scientific and technological talents, and cultivate a group of outstanding academic backbones who are expected to enter the world's scientific and technological frontiers.

Only scientific researchers under the age of 38 are eligible to apply.

There are only about 400 places for excellent youth every year.

It is very difficult to apply successfully.

However, once the application is successful, the annual subsidy amount of about $1.3 million will be awarded.
