Chapter 327

Ding dong~~

A crisp sound sounded in Gu Lu's mind.

This is......

Gu Lu was stunned for a moment.

Gu Lu was no longer familiar with this voice.

Because this is the sound of the system prompting a new task.

It's just that Gu Lu didn't expect that he would trigger the task on such an occasion.

Although Gu Lu was puzzled in his heart, he still silently opened the system panel to check the task.

In the column that displays the task on the system panel, a new task is refreshed.

Moreover, what made Gu Lu's pupils shrink slightly.

The mission of this refresh is not a more common side quest.

But......

Main Quest!

That's right, it's the main quest.

Since Gu Lu obtained the system, he has only done four main quests.

The last main task is to obtain the title of full professor in the world's top 50 universities.

Gu Lu just completed this main quest yesterday.

Originally, Gu Lu thought that it would take a while before a new main quest was refreshed.

But unexpectedly, in just one day's work, a new main quest appeared!

The main quest not only represents its super high rewards, but also represents its long cycle and super high difficulty.

Up to now, Gu Lu has completed four main tasks.

However, the difficulty of the four main quests is very high, and it is not at the same level as the side quests.

Moreover, each side quest requires a long cycle to complete.

Of the previous four main quests, the shortest one, Gu Lu took a year to complete.

And the task of being awarded a full professor just completed, Gu Lu took one year and three months to complete.

This can be deduced.

The fifth main quest that has been refreshed this time will definitely take a long period to complete.

Naturally, the difficulty of the task will not be easy.

…………

Gu Lu's gaze fell on the content of the main quest.

[Main Mission: Rank the Department of Mathematics of Yenching University among the top 5 universities in the world (Mission Progress: 0/1)

Duration of the mandate: four years

Task reward: 300 points can be freely assigned attribute values and system mall upgrade permissions

Note: The World University Rankings are based on the QS World University Rankings of the current year.

Gu Lu hurriedly swept the content of the main quest with two or three eyes, and then a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Regarding the main quest this time, Gu Lu only wants to describe it in one word - difficult!

It's not usually difficult.

The main task given by the system this time is no longer related to Gu Lu's own growth, but is related to the Department of Mathematics of Yan University.

Gu Lu is required to improve the global ranking of the Department of Mathematics of Yan University to the top five in four years!

It's very difficult to look at the law!

In the QS World University Rankings for Mathematics just released this year, where does Yenching University rank first?

Twenty-first!

And which are the top five universities?

Mit!

Harvard University!

Stanford University!

Princeton University!

University of Cambridge!

It is these five schools, all of which are like famous existences.

The task given to Gu Lu by the system this time is to ask Gu Lu to raise the mathematics department of Yan University to the same level as these five top universities within four years!

Four years, only four years!

If you want to say forty years, Gu Lu is still sure, but there are only four years, which is undoubtedly a big problem for Gu Lu!

Each of the top 50 mathematics majors in the world is at the top.

However, for this group of universities standing at the top, it is difficult to move up one or two in the rankings.

The truth is obvious.

It is equivalent to going from 1125th to 1124th in two exams, which is certainly easier than going from 25th to 24th.

Because the more you stand at the top, the bigger the gap before each place.

But the requirements of the task are not simply to improve the ranking of the Department of Mathematics of Yan University by one or two.

It's a full sixteen!

From the twenty-first, to the top five!

…………

At the beginning of the millennium, the Department of Mathematics of Yan University was ranked in about 30.

It took nearly 20 years for the ranking of the Department of Mathematics of Yan University to stabilize at about 20th.

Now, Gu Lu only has four years to go.

And, from the thirtieth to the twentieth, and from the twentieth to the top five, are two completely different concepts.

Looking at the main task given by the system, Gu Lu faintly felt a pain in his head.

It's tricky, it's really tricky!

Gu Lu pulled a chair and sat down, rubbing his eyebrows and thinking about countermeasures, while looking at the night scene outside.

Gu Lu analyzed rationally little by little, thinking about the countermeasures to successfully complete the task.

The judging criteria of the QS World University Rankings by Subject mainly consider two aspects.

One is the level of teaching, and the other is the strength of scientific research.

The proportion of each of them is about 40%.

Needless to say, the level of teaching is mainly based on the professional ability of the students.

For example, Princeton has cultivated such an excellent student as Gu Lu, so it is natural to add a lot of points in this item.

And the other point, scientific research strength.

It's also very well understood.

To put it simply, it is the comprehensive level of scientific research of a university, including the papers published, the results obtained, the number of award winners, etc.

Take the simplest chestnut.

The top award in mathematics is the Fields Medal!

And a Fields Medal winner can probably move a university up a ranking or two!

Of course, this is for universities outside the top 10.

For the top 10 of the mathematics department, at least two Philippine prize winners can barely be promoted by one.

In this way, you can intuitively measure the difficulty of Gu Lu's main quest this time.

In order for the Department of Mathematics of Yan University to rank in the top five, it is necessary to recruit at least 21 Philippine Award winners!

However, there are only about 30 Philippine Prize winners still alive.

This......

Gu Lu was speechless again.

It is certainly unrealistic to recruit 21 Filipino Award winners, but if the Filipino Award winners cannot be recruited, the more winners of the rest of the awards, the better.

It's just that most of the solicitation methods don't work.

Although Yan Dashu Academy has money, it has not yet reached the point where it can use its banknote ability to enter the top five by digging the foot of the wall.

"You have to take a detour!" Gu Lu touched his chin and pondered.

The method of solicitation will not work, but if a mathematician takes the initiative to come to Yanda's side, or put his name on Yanda's side, wouldn't it be a beautiful thing.

However, it is not easy to get mathematicians to take the initiative.

Gu Lu was silently planning in his mind......

A scheme is being planned that can recruit a large number of mathematicians for nothing.

In addition, in addition to the strength of scientific research, Gu Lu can be solved by attracting a large number of mathematicians, and the teaching level must also be taken into account.

"After I go back, I have to fulfill the obligations of the doctoral supervisor!" Gu Lu muttered to himself.

While obtaining the title of full professor, Gu Lu also obtained the qualification of doctoral supervisor.

Therefore, Gu Lu is now a tutor with the qualification to teach doctoral students in the Yan University School of Mathematics.
