Chapter 217

Mid-March.

The selection of the 2018 Outstanding Young Scientist Fund has come to fruition.

In a long list of more than 400 outstanding young people, Gu Lu's name is impressively listed.

This is nothing surprising.

In terms of age, Gu Lu is indeed the youngest among all the judges.

But in terms of academic achievements, Gu Lu is enough to rank among the top few.

So this year's excellent youth quota was taken down by Gu Lu so logically.

Dean Bao, who got the news, was naturally overjoyed.

At his current age, Gu Lu can select excellent young people.

In a few years, it is not impossible to select higher-level outstanding young people.

This is a very good thing for Gu Lu himself, or for the entire Yan University Academy.

…………

On Gu Lu's side, after the list of excellent young people came out, the 300,000 scientific research funds applied for had been received.

Gu Lu is very worried now.

What about the 300,000 scientific research fund is a considerable problem for Gu Lu.

Regarding the question of how to spend this money, Gu Lu thought about it all morning with his chin tilted, but he didn't come up with a reason.

It is known that the matter has been put on hold for the time being.

The research fund is in place, so there is one thing that needs to be done immediately.

That is to rent an office dedicated to the research group.

If there is only Gu Lu in the research group, it doesn't matter where you work.

But this time, the research team still has Bi Qi and Ma Zhengxuan, two people who have started the work, so they need to rent a special office.

Just do it, Gu Lu went directly to the school's logistics department.

There are many offices that can be rented externally or internally.

Especially for school insiders, the price is not expensive, an office of forty or fifty square meters only needs more than 10,000 yuan a year.

Gu Lu is worried that he has money and has nowhere to spend.

With a wave of his hand, he spent 30,000 yuan and rented an office of more than 100 square meters.

The location of the office is in the Institute of Mathematics of Yan University.

The Institute of Mathematics of Yan University is affiliated to the School of Mathematics of Yan University.

Its location is in a small three-story building next to the Yan University Courtyard.

Gu Lu chose to rent an empty office on the second floor of the research institute.

As for the reason......

The first one, of course, is because of the proximity.

The second is the reason why the scientific research atmosphere within the institute is relatively strong.

After all, most of the teachers currently working at the institute do not have teaching tasks, but focus all their energy on scientific research.

At present, the Institute of Mathematics of Yan University has more than 30 researchers, although this number is not much, but each of them is the elite of the elite.

The location of the office was finalized, and in the next two days, Gu Lu found someone to simply decorate the office.

Set up a desk, equipped with a computer printer, and purchased a large number of paper, pens and other stationery.

In addition, Gu Lu also made a small cubicle in the office as his office location.

The hardware is basically complete, and the rest is to find someone.

It is completely not enough to have Bi Qi and Ma Zhengxuan alone to help themselves.

The level of knowledge of the two is limited to the undergraduate level.

It's okay to give the two of them some very basic work, but for more difficult tasks, you need to find another person.

At least if you're a graduate student.

However, most of the graduate students in the School of Mathematics have their own supervisors, and it is not easy to lend one.

Besides, Gu Lu's requirements are quite high, and if you find any one, I'm afraid it will be difficult to be competent.

After thinking about it for a while, Gu Lu still decided to go to Senior Brother Bao for help.

Coming upstairs, Gu Lu knocked on the door of Bao Songquan's office.

"Come in. ”

Pushing the door in, Bao Songquan rubbed his eyebrows with an ugly face, and sighed.

As soon as he looked up, he saw that it was Gu Lu who came in, and Bao Songquan's face changed again.

"Gu Lu, sit down first. Bao Songquan pointed to the sofa next to him and asked Gu Lu to sit down first, "It just so happened that you came over, and I was about to look for you." ”

"Senior brother, is there something wrong?" Listening to Bao Songquan's tone, it seemed that he had something important to say to himself, so Gu Lu temporarily put aside the idea of asking for someone from Bao Songquan.

Bao Songquan nodded with a heavy expression, "Well, there is something very important to tell you." ”

"This new project you're working on is to overcome the BAB conjecture, right?" asked Bao Songquan.

Gu Lu was not surprised at all that Bao Songquan knew the research content of his new topic, and nodded and replied, "Well, it's a BAB conjecture." ”

"Do you have any ideas to change the research topic?" asked Bao Songquan very abruptly.

Hearing this, Gu Lu was stunned, and he didn't understand the meaning of Bao Song's words.

Seeing the doubts and incomprehension in Gu Lu's eyes, Bao Songquan sighed, pondered for a few seconds, and slowly spoke, "Half an hour ago, when I was discussing with the German side about the one-month post-Sino-German mathematician exchange meeting, a mathematician friend from the University of Bonn told me that Simon Dix was also working on the proof of the BAB conjecture!"

Simon Dicks!

Gu Lu's pupils shrank suddenly.

There is a lot of information revealed in Bao Songquan's sentence, but Gu Lu is most concerned about the last paragraph.

Simon Dix is also working on the proof of the BAB conjecture!

As mentioned before, the field of algebraic geometry in the geometrical world has brought together a large number of genius mathematicians in the world.

And Simon Dix is undoubtedly one of the quite well-known.

Simon Dix, 34, professor at the University of Bonn, Germany, Cray Prize, Leibniz Prize, European Mathematical Society Prize.

And also, the highest award in geometry, the Veblen Prize!

Simon was a genius from a young age, and at a very young age, he showed an unusual talent for mathematics.

When I was in high school, I was selected for the German national team to participate in the IMO.

Simon competed in three IMOs, winning one silver medal and two gold medals.

After university, it takes two and a half years to complete all the courses at the undergraduate level.

When he was in his second year of graduate school, Simon gave his supervisor a doctoral dissertation, and after reading it, the supervisor directly said, 'You don't need to do a Ph.D., just graduate.' ’

And so Dr. Simon graduated.

After graduating, Simon plunged headlong into the field of algebraic geometry and made a great reputation.

To date, four of Simon's papers have been published in four major journals.

His important research result is the proposal of PS theory.

This PS theory is considered by a group of mathematicians to be one of the most promising frameworks in the field of algebraic geometry in decades.

Thirty-four-year-old Simon is now in the prime of scientific research.

And at this point in time, Simon set his sights on the BAB conjecture.

This seems to be unexpected by everyone, but when you think about it, it makes sense.

It's just that since Simon announced his foray into the proof of the BAB conjecture.

Between that and Gu Lu, they are destined to become opponents.
