"It's a big loss!"

Logging on to the school's official website, looking at the announcement that he didn't know when it would be updated, Lu Zhou sighed in his heart.

Who would have thought that writing essays could make a fortune?

It was also the effort of the leader to hold a meeting......

The reward rules published on the official website are as follows.

[Reward amount = (IF+1)*5,000 yuan.] 】

If is well understood, it is the impact factor of the journal.

For example, the impact factor of "Theoretical and Applied Mathematics Communication" is 3.130, and the school will reward him with a total of 41,300 yuan for his two mathematical papers published in this journal. And according to Professor Tang, this bonus will be issued in the form of scientific research awards, and according to Article 4, Paragraph 1 of the Individual Income Tax Law, there is no need to pay tax!

As for the other 9 papers, because they were published in a general journal, although they are also SCI and have impact factors, I am sorry, they are not within the scope of the award!

Seeing this, Lu Zhou was distressed.

Judging from the evaluation of him by the president of a listed company, his 9 papers are undoubtedly valuable, but in order to be greedy for the small discount of 150 yuan in manuscript fees, he ended up pitting himself.

It's useless to regret it now.

But if you think about it, it's hard to say whether it's a loss or a gain.

If it had not been published in a general journal and reviewed by a more professional academic editor, his paper might not have stood out from many papers and passed so quickly.

The reason why he was able to get the S+ evaluation and unlock the reward tasks of the system was largely due to the speed of the general issue.

Regardless, the server money is settled...... Probably?

"Elbow, what are you looking at?"

Seeing that Lu Zhou rarely did not go to the library for self-study, but sat in the dormitory in a "daze" at the computer screen, Liu Rui curiously leaned over.

After such a long time, this guy's name for himself has finally changed from Brother Lu is back.

It seems that any heat is time-limited......

"It's nothing," Lu Zhou sighed, "It's just that the little money that hurts me flies away." ”

"What a little money...... SCI Paper Awards? , it's a cheat......" Liu Rui's eyes widened, and he shouted, "Then how much can you take?" ”

"I can probably get one or two thousand."

Lu Zhou decided to be modest, so he made a half-fold.

As a result, I didn't expect that even if I made a discount, I still scared this guy.

After being silent for a while, Liu Rui did not speak.

After a long time, he sighed, and said in an infinitely melancholy tone: "Elbow, don't say anything, let's have a treat tonight." ”

Lu Zhou thought about it and felt that it made sense.

After all, it was said at the beginning, don't forget to be rich and noble, don't talk about being rich together, but a meal is still indispensable.

Although he has opened his eyes when he sees money, he is not the kind of person who picks the door.

So, he took Liu Rui to the snack street near the school gate and picked a spicy restaurant to sit down......

……

After the selected Malatang was served, Liu Rui, a person who doesn't like to drink much, rarely ordered two bottles of beer.

One person opened a bottle.

After the spicy hot came up, Liu Rui suddenly said, "How does it feel to stay in school during the summer vacation?" ”

While biting the bean stick, Lu Zhou thought for a while, and replied, "It's okay, right?" It's very fulfilling. ”

"I really envy you," Liu Rui sighed, "I feel like I'm getting more and more stupid, and I can't see anything." ”

Seriously, he regretted signing up for this mathematical modeling competition.

Although the first round of selection in the school was honored, and the school arranged the training of teammates and teachers, but after the real training began, he realized how far he was from those real cows.

For example, the junior in his group has already won two national second awards, and he participated in this competition because he wanted to rush before graduation and go to the national university. With that bull man, he is completely like a little brother who hugs his thighs.

However, such a cow man also modestly said that he was only a shallow learner.

Later, Liu Rui heard that in addition to the teams organized by these schools, there were also several "regular armies" formed by the courtyard, which was the real gathering of cattle. It's just that those cattle don't train with them, so they don't usually see them.

Now Liu Rui understands that Lu Zhou's team should be the legendary "regular army".

After knowing the news, he was both emotional and complicated.

Because the gap was so big, he even began to wonder if there was any need to be jealous of this sudden rise of his roommate.

After touching the cup with Liu Rui, Lu Zhou said casually: "You made yourself too tired." ”

"There's no way, people who are better than me work so hard, and you can't do it if you don't work hard." After taking a sip of beer, Liu Rui let out a long breath, as if he wanted to spit out the turbid breath in his chest into the gradually deepening night sky, drifting away with the elongated night.

However, Lu Zhou, who drank a little wine, did not understand his melancholy.

And when people drink, they like to talk harshly.

"I remember...... That's not what I say. ”

Liu Rui was stunned for a moment, thinking that Lu Zhou had any high opinions, and couldn't help but ask seriously: "What did you say?" ”

Lu Zhou burped and didn't think much about it: "Since people who are better than you are still working hard...... So what's the use of your efforts? ”

Liu Rui: "......"

In the end, the two of them drank a total of seven bottles, five of which were drunk by Liu Rui alone.

……

Liu Rui himself is not the type that can drink, and he belongs to the kind of stuffy gourd that doesn't say anything when he is drunk. When he drank the last glass, the whole person fell on the table with a bang, which startled Lu Zhou, and also scared the boss who sold Malatang, thinking that he had entered the fake wine.

Later, when the kid was turned over and found that he was talking nonsense there, Lu Zhou and the shopkeeper were relieved.

After settling the account, he finally carried Liu Rui, who was drunk crookedly, back to the bedroom, Lu Zhou really didn't have the strength to carry him up the ladder, so he directly pulled a mat out of his cabinet and spread it on the ground, which was considered to have made a bunk for him.

Then he waited for him to lie down on the mat, and put a blanket over him.

There is no one else who has done this far.

Turning on the air conditioner and sitting on a chair, Lu Zhou unscrewed the mineral water bottle and took a sip of it, letting out a sigh of relief.

It's been a drain on him.

Liu Rui, this kid is good, as soon as he lay down, he snored, and he didn't know how good he slept in.

"Waking up tomorrow morning with a headache won't kill you."

Lu Zhou shook his head, turned on the computer, logged on to the online shopping website, and began to search for a suitable server.

According to Old Tang, the school's finances will transfer the money to the card tomorrow at the latest. If you choose it today, you can place an order directly as soon as the money arrives tomorrow.

If possible, he wants to buy a better quality one if possible.

It's not exactly for the ticket-grabbing app made by the practitioners, but also for the task reward that unlocks "Artificial Intelligence LV0".

What happens when you upgrade AI LV0 to LV1 with points?

This will be the first sub-technology he will unlock once he gets the system.

In this regard, Lu Zhou's heart is full of expectations.

However, as soon as he saw the price of the server, his face immediately darkened.

"Dale...... 2U rackmount chassis, 56 cores, 112 threads, 256G memory, and 12 8T hard boards...... Two hundred and seventy thousand! Walked away. ”

"Lenovo IBM, dual-controller storage array, using Storwize real-time compression technology, 64G cache, 8 x 8GB fiber ports, 24 x 3.5" disks! Quote...... Forty thousand? This seems good...... Hold the grass and look at a zero! I can't afford to provoke it. ”

Turned the page, and it was all at this price.

I'm ......

Why is it so expensive?

Lu Zhou ranked according to the price, and found that there were servers with low prices of tens of thousands of yuan, but I don't know if they could meet the operation. Moreover, he couldn't use all the money he had to buy servers.

Keeping the server running, but it also costs money!

When he couldn't make up his mind, Lu Zhou suddenly thought of the top student in the computer department in the group.

yes, why not ask him?

Seeing that it was still early, Lu Zhou immediately took out his mobile phone and made a call.
