"It's really a stupid person to come so fast with money, you say, is it because it is too easy for him to make money, so he dares to waste it like this?"
"I also submitted a research application, and I was going to study how to make a curtain in front of the sun, and when it was too hot in the summer, I would close the curtain. You say, will the King of New Tuvalu approve my research application?"
"How much research funding has been applied for upstairs, and if it doesn't cost more than a penny, I think the King of New Tuvalu will approve your research application." ”
……
The storm in academia was released in a short period of time by some entertainment news reporters with a keen sense of smell to the entertainment section with a large number of followers.
Yes, a recruitment campaign for researchers was featured in the entertainment section of many media outlets.
As a result, it has also sparked a lot of discussions among netizens.
At the King's Villa in New Tuvalu, Ultron had just completed the initial screening of the first batch of more than 20,000 research projects, and once again reported: "Your Majesty, we have received more than 300,000 research applications. According to my preliminary analysis, these 300,000 research applications are completely devoid of any practical significance. ”
Li Daniu asked curiously, "For example?"
Ultron called up some of the most representative research projects, saying: "For example, the research project is to create a huge curtain in front of the sun that can block the sunlight coming to the earth. For another example, this research project aims to develop a device that, after being installed on a human body, can instantly convert human excreted feces into energy and re-input it into the human body. And ......"
"Stop!" Li Daniu was disgusted and said, "What the hell is this?"
"Someone posted our email address for the research project, so there were a lot of netizens involved," Ultron said. ”
Li Daniu laughed when he heard that it was done by netizens, and said, "Filter these out directly." By the way, what does the academic community say about my behavior this time?"
"A lot of people think that you just want to enrich the faculty of the Royal College of New Tuvalu with a huge amount of money, and then make the Royal College of New Tuvalu a world-class institution of higher learning," Ultron replied. ”
Li Daniu nodded and said, "This is indeed my idea, but doesn't anyone think that I really want to promote many research projects?"
Ultron replied, "There are very few people who have the kind of thinking you say. Because in the eyes of many people, projects that have development prospects or can be successfully researched can be funded by capital. And those who don't have funding and want to continue their projects through your research fund are research projects that don't have any future. ”
Li Daniu laughed and said: "For other people, it is a very risky thing to choose to invest in these scientific researchers who can't find investors. But for us, lol...... It's definitely a big deal. ”
"According to my preliminary analysis, there are more than 35 projects in the submitted research applications, which match some of the completed research projects in the database," said Ultron. If you decide to fund these research projects, then it is expected that all 35 research projects will be completed in half a year through subliminal influence equipment. ”
Li Daniu asked, "How many research funds have been applied for for these 35 research projects?"
Ultron replied, "$16,757.5 million." ”
"It's still a lot worse. Li Daniu sighed and asked, "How many camouflage robots we released before are engaged in scientific research?"
"53!"
Li Daniu laughed and said, "Very good, let these 53 camouflaged robots submit research applications, and then form their own research team." ”
Ultron asked suspiciously, "However, Your Majesty, if you let the camouflaged robots occupy the vast majority of the scientific research funds, then you will not be able to achieve your goal of raising the level of the faculty of the Royal Academy of New Tuvalu." ”
Li Daniu shook his head and said: "Ultron, this is like a lottery ticket, each issue has tens of millions of people to buy, but in fact, only a few have won the lottery. As long as the world can see that some of the scientific researchers they are familiar with have successfully obtained huge returns through our funding. Then, our new Tuvalu Royal Family Research Fund can be the hope of all scientific researchers. ”
"I can probably see what you mean, so can we start identifying funding projects right away?"
Li Daniu said: "No, now is not the time. This time, we're going to come one by one. Starting tomorrow, a confirmed funded research project will be announced every two days. When this batch of research funds is about to run out, the next funding will continue to arrive. ”
"You mean, you want to get into the habit of researchers all over the world and put the new Tuvalu Crown Research Grant as the first choice when looking for research funding?"
Li Daniu said: "Not only that, but we also have to use certain means to make people all over the world think." If you join the Royal College of New Tuvalu, or even if you become a New Tuvalu citizen, you have a better chance of receiving research funding. On the bright side, of course, we are categorically unable to admit this. ”
……
Mars received a phone call three days after journals such as Science magazine advertised the New Tuvalu Crown Research Fund.
After hanging up the phone, Mars stopped walking into the classroom, turned and rushed outside the school, and at the same time took out his mobile phone to book a plane ticket to New Tuvalu.
After the class bell rang, the students waiting in the classroom did not see the professor they found very boring, and left the classroom happily.
Soon, the dean of the medical school got the news that Mars, a lecturer, had skipped class without asking for leave.
Just as he was about to stop his course and end funding for his research, he jumped out of his own way. The dean was secretly happy in his heart and directly gave relevant instructions.
Mars, who was packing his belongings at his quarters, received a call from the college.
"Professor Mars, I'm sorry, because your actions have had a very bad impact, so we have decided to deduct your research funding for this month. We are sorry to inform you that your course will be suspended for the next semester, so you can apply if you would like to start a new course. ”
Mars felt a little pain in his chest and asked, "Why don't you just terminate the contract with me?"
There was an instant silence on the other end of the phone.
Mars continued: "I'm going to type a resignation report right now, and I hope you can approve it as soon as possible. ”
Hanging up the phone, Mars grabbed his suitcase and went out to stop the car and go to the airport.
The resignation report he sent in the car was printed out by the assistant dean in the shortest possible time, and then asked the relevant personnel to sign it.
Before Mars got on the plane, the assistant dean called him again and said, "Professor Mars, your resignation has been approved, and I just sent it to your address. If you need to pack your belongings, please come to the academy within a week. ”
Mars didn't feel sad at all, hung up the phone, and then called a colleague he knew well, asked him to help put away his computer, and boarded the plane to New Tuvalu.
A day later, a piece of news quickly became a hot topic in academic circles.
"Isn't Mars the guy who researched unrealistic artificial regeneration techniques at Harvard, how could he be the first to receive a grant from the New Tuvalu Royal Research Fund?"
"The most important thing is that he received $300 million in funding at once, which is more than the funding our lab received. ”
"It's 6 times our research funding, okay?"
"Or ...... Let's try to apply for it too?"
The dean of Harvard Medical School, while he was still happy that he had cleared out a cancer that wasted the college's resources, heard the news that Marles had received a $300 million grant.
"Is the world crazy? Mars, why would anyone fund it?"
