Chapter 369

In the final analysis, it is because if it is 2v2 with them, Konstantin has no confidence to win.

Konstantin's personality has always been the type of arrogant and self-confident.

But this time......

Konstantin was unusual.

Konstantin was not blindly arrogant, and chose one person and Gu Lu and the two of them were tough.

Instead, choose to solicit allies.

And, Konstantin for the sake of security.

He also recruited two allies, Carl and Alec, in one go.

This can be said to be very different from Konstantin's previous style.

But Konstantin still wanted to do it.

Even though, the outside world has a lot of prejudice against him for his behavior of bullying more and less this time.

Because Konstantin can't afford to lose.

At the International Congress of Mathematicians, Konstantin had already lost to Gu Lu once.

That defeat caught Konstantin off guard.

At the same time, let Konstantin completely defeat the idea of Gu Lu.

Now, that's an opportunity.

Together, the two of them delved into the narrow Hodge conjecture.

Whoever proves it first will be victorious in this battle.

Konstantin was reluctant to lose.

Now, the outside world has been discussing this incident in a boiling water.

In the entire mathematical community, I am afraid that except for a few mathematicians who have been closed to the door, most people know the news that he Konstantin and Gu Lu declared war.

Many mathematicians are paying great attention to this matter.

And in this case, if he loses to Gu Lu, the price can be said to be quite serious.

It is very likely that the prestige he has painstakingly built up in the mathematical community for more than ten years will be completely destroyed.

At the same time, if he loses to Gu Lu twice in a row, it will be a devastating blow to him who takes the path of invincible self-confidence.

That's the key!

Therefore, this battle, Konstantin must win.

Even if it's a way to win by bullying more and less.

In the conference room, the atmosphere was silent for a few seconds.

Konstantin turned his head to glance at Karl and asked, "Is there any news from Gu Lu?"

Karl shook his head, "No, I haven't received any news that Gu Lu is looking for allies. ”

"Also, I asked the other two in the field of algebraic geometry, and they both said that Gu Lu had not contacted them. ”

On the side, Alec answered, "The mathematicians in the topology field I know haven't heard of being co-opted by Gu Lu. ”

Konstantin's fingers tapped lightly on the table irregularly, "It seems that Gu Lu is not ready to unite with other allies!"

"Two to three, Gu Lu, I don't know, who gave you the courage to believe that the two of you can defeat the three of us!" A sneer appeared at the corner of Konstantin's mouth, "Then, let me let you feel what despair is!"

Next, Konstantin developed a research plan for the short term.

First of all, the first step, of course, is to build the theoretical framework of the topic.

Then, each of the three of them conducted independent research in their respective areas of expertise.

"Gu Lu and Simon are about half a month ahead of us in terms of progress, so let's not slack off easily because of the advantage in numbers!" Konstantin said in a solemn tone.

With a time gap of half a month, it is not difficult for them to catch up.

But only if the three of them have to give it their all.

"If we want to win, we have to win beautifully, or when we win, others will say that we have a lot of people, and we don't win fairly!" Karl said with a slam on the table and a resolute look in his eyes.

"I'll rent an apartment here later, and I don't plan to return to China until the project is over!" Alec also determined.

"Don't worry about accommodation and accommodation, since I made this alliance happen, then I should bear all this. Konstantin expressed his generosity this time, "The accommodation of the two will be arranged by the college to ensure that the two are satisfied, and during the research period of the two, our school will also pay the two of them a salary." ”

Carl and Alec's eyes lit up at the same time.

The salary paid by the school, plus the research funds for the project, combined with the two figures, is quite a considerable amount.

Seeing the two of them smiling, Konstantin smiled slightly.

This amount of money is a small bleeding for their academy.

However, it can allow Carl and Alec to have no worries and concentrate on the research of the subject.

Then the expenditure is well worth it.

………………

Hua Guo, Yenching University.

Gu Lu got the news from Bao Songquan that his project application report had been approved.

This means that the research group is officially established.

The topic is open!

At the same time, the scientific research funds were also received simultaneously.

Gu Lu is still on Youqing's list.

So this time, Gu Lu received 300,000 yuan in financial assistance from the National Natural Science Foundation again.

In addition, the academy also deliberately gave Gu Lu an additional 200,000.

Add in one piece.

The current scientific research funding for this project is a full 500,000 RMB!

But so far, there are only two people in the entire research group, Gu Lu and Simon.

Gu Lu didn't let Bi Qi and Ma Zhengxuan come over this time.

To put it simply.

Faced with this topic, Bi Qi and Ma Zhengxuan did not have the strength to come over and give Gu Lu a hand.

Actually, don't say it's Bi Qi and Ma Zhengxuan.

Even the two doctoral students, Bao Zi and Chen Mo, are also not qualified to start.

Otherwise, the two PhDs would not now be tasked with writing doctoral dissertations.

There is no one to help, and the only ones who need to pay are him and Simon.

But if you pay a salary......

A salary of 500,000 is indeed a bit much.

After all, in Gu Lu's prediction, the research period of this topic is only half a year.

"Senior brother, you gave me so much money, we really have nowhere to spend it!" In the office, Gu Lu said with a smile.

Bao Songquan also looked helpless, he rolled his eyes and said, "I have always seen others think that there is little scientific research funding, and it is the first time I have seen people say that they think there is too much scientific research funding!"

"Since there is no place to spend money, let's create a place to spend money! For example, equip your office with some brand new equipment or something, go out for dinner a few more times, and do more activities, and the money will be spent soon!"

"Besides, with the current status of the two of you in the mathematical community, these 500,000 yuan, after the two of you are paid, there is not much left!"

Gu Lu didn't pay attention to the last few words.

But in the previous sentence, Gu Lu still keenly caught a few words.

"Create a place to spend money!" Gu Lu muttered these words softly, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

"That's right. Bao Songquan seemed to have thought of something, and asked, "Gu Lu, do you have time tomorrow afternoon?"

"Yes, senior brother, what's wrong?" Gu Lu was stunned.

"There's a place where you are asked to come over and do a favor. Bao Songquan smiled slightly.
