Chapter Ninety-Four: The NBA is not swollen to make money
This group of reporters remembered that this guy's nickname is "Professor", he is not only a bully on the basketball court, but also a bully who has solved seven thousand-year-old mathematical problems!
But there were still reporters who were not reconciled, and Clark got up and asked after getting permission from the press officer, "You didn't think about doing scientific research while playing, or playing for a few years and waiting for a championship ring to get a championship ring before returning to school? If that's the case, wouldn't it be better if you could accumulate enough money to invest in scientific research?"
Yes, this is the best, we will not be short of news, and the rest of the reporters also agree, especially Li Xiao, Feng Hongqi and others, looking at Lu Qiujian with a blank eye, if he agrees with this point of view, won't the opportunity for his promotion and salary increase come back?
"The NBA has 82 regular season games every year, plus preseason and playoffs, and you need to fly to all parts of the country to play, if I join the NBA, I'm afraid I can't take care of scientific research at the same time!", Lu Qiujian has long thought of this, " The golden age of athletes and the period of the greatest creativity of scientists actually overlapped, and the most important achievements of many scientists' academic careers were made during this time: Einstein published the quantum theory at the age of 26, put forward the quantum hypothesis of light, solved the problem of the photoelectric effect, independently and completely proposed the principle of special relativity, and ushered in a new era of physics; de Brogie proposed the concept of material waves at the age of 32; Yang Zhenning also cooperated with Mills to complete the Yang-Mills equation at the age of 32, which is also the most important physical breakthrough in the second half of the 20th century, and what year Robert Mills was 27 years old!"
Speaking of this, Lu Qiujian paused for a moment, and waited for them to digest their words before continuing, "And now science is developing faster and faster, and new ideas are being put forward and new theories are discovered every moment, if I go to play, I am afraid that I will have to start again from my freshman year when I come back in a few years!", well, in fact, if 1A7488 has a time limit for tasks, then it is not impossible to go to the NBA to play.
"As for the funding you just mentioned. Lu Qiujian asked with a smile, "Who was the highest salary in the NBA last year, what was the annual salary, and who was the highest total income in the sports world?
These questions are so simple for these journalists who have been in the sports world for many years that Clark replied without thinking, "Last year's highest paid was Kevin Garnett of the Timberwolves, with an annual salary of $22.4 million, followed by O'Neal's $21.8 million, and the highest paid in the entire sports world was Schumacher of the F1 Ferrari team, with an annual income of more than $77 million, followed by Tiger Woods."
"Thank you Clark!", Lu Qiujian interrupted him, "Your memory is awesome, it seems that you will also get good grades if you study mathematics!"
When the laughter of the reporters gradually subsided, Lu Qiujian shrugged, "It sounds like a lot, to be honest, I'm a little moved!", the reporters' low mood just now was about to improve, but Lu Qiujian poured a basin of cold water on his head, "But this is far from enough for science!"
"In 1990, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration of the United States launched the Hubble Space Telescope into space, and the cost of the Hubble Telescope was 3 billion US dollars! That's still 90 dollars!", Lu Qiujian looked at the sky and made a painstaking calculation, "Even if inflation is not considered, Garnett needs to play for 134 years to earn so much, and Schumacher has to work hard for 39 years." ”
"This is just the cost of the Hubble telescope, plus the cost of later repair and repair, if it can be used for ten years, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration of the United States will spend at least 8 billion US dollars on this little baby!", Lu Qiujian smacked his tongue and said, "And this guy who spent 8 billion US dollars is only part of the NASA large orbital observatory plan of the United States, you are too rich!"
Without waiting for the reporter to recover from the shock brought by the $8 billion, Lu Qiujian came up with another example: "At the same time as the United States launched the Hubble Space Telescope, the European Institute for Particle Physics also launched the Large Hadron Collision Program, and the budget of this experimental facility is as high as $5 billion, and the actual cost is more than $10 billion! The cost budget of the International Linear Collider under discussion is $6.7 billion! However, the United States has terminated its own collider construction plan because of the high cost, because its budget exceeds $14 billion! Even the financial resources of the United States cannot bear it!"
"Science is a very expensive thing! This income of the NBA is not worth mentioning compared to these! There is no way to provide me with much help at all!", this is also the reason why Lu Qiujian does not earn his own money to engage in research, this investment is too big, even the combined family assets of Lord Wayne and Stark are not enough, let alone the pitiful income of NBA stars!
And the biggest difficulty is not the funding, even if they have so much money, they can't scrape together enough of the 7,000 scientists that the European Institute of Particle Physics needs to carry out the Large Hadron Collider program! This is something that only a few countries can do, and no country will allow so many scientists to be privately summoned to conduct such sensitive research.
"But aren't you studying mathematics?", and finally someone reacted, Nima, aren't these all physics research facilities!
Who told you that I would always study mathematics? However, Lu Qiujian did not explain this problem, "Even mathematical research requires the use of supercomputers, and the four-color problem can only be solved with the help of electronic computers! And it takes more than a billion dollars to build a supercomputer; well, this seems to be much easier, Garnett only needs to play for the Timberwolves for 45 years, and Schumacher only needs to drive for 13 years to save enough! I hope that by that time I can still remember how to do the four arithmetics!" But do you think that country is willing to sell me this kind of thing?"
Eh, the reporters just remembered that Lu Qiujian is a Chinese, and the government of the United States will definitely not allow him to buy such a sensitive thing privately!
Compared with his needs, the little money that NBA stars earn does not seem to be attractive! For the first time, reporters found that NBA stars don't seem to make too much money!
It was only at this moment that the reporters were convinced that Lu Qiujian's refusal to participate in the draft was not a hype! Now it seems that this year's NCAA is probably the swan song of this talented player, right? At the thought of this, all the reporters present fell silent, not knowing what to ask for a while!
Thank you for the non-rich and non-expensive 588 reward, thank you for the fact that there is only one, m258372, ~.

I decided to put tomorrow's first watch at 12 o'clock in the morning to see if I could try to get on the list, and the time of 12 o'clock at noon and 6 o'clock in the afternoon will remain the same.
