Chapter XXVI Funding and Interviews

"Tell me, what do you think about Junxin's application for funding?" Inside the office, after more than an hour of meetings, the principal made Junxin's application.

"Isn't it okay to give a freshman so much money?" Seeing that no one was talking, a new professor in the chemistry department spoke.

Seeing someone speak, several associate professors immediately responded as well.

"yes, it's only a freshman, and it's still a math student, so even if you want to do chemistry experiments, you should stay in the lab for a while, instead of just having an idea, right?"

"Theory is not the same as practice!"

"My project has not been approved yet, why is it that the teacher's has not yet been settled, but the student can apply for it, what is the reason?"

……

One after another began to object, but the headmaster held his breath and did not say anything, but quietly watched the group of professors below arguing and objecting.

As for Professor Hu, who was invited to come, he was a cold sidestander, the funds of the Department of Mathematics were not much, so there was not much money in the college, and Professor Hu planned to use the money to make up some computing equipment, after all, the operation of mathematics now relies more and more on high-tech computing equipment, especially after the four-color problem is solved, the importance of supercomputers gradually begins to highlight, and the domestic equipment cannot keep up for the time being, but it cannot be too low, so the funds of the Department of Mathematics cannot be moved, otherwise Professor Hu will directly take out thousands of dollars from the Department of Mathematics to JunxinWhere is the need to discuss it at a school meeting?

Seeing that after the speeches were over, the principal, who had not spoken, spoke: "Lao Chen, what do you think?" ”

Lao Chen is Professor Chen Hao of the School of Chemistry, and he will naturally not dismantle the stage at this time, but he does not have any hope for Junxin's current research, but Junxin has completed the mathematical theory part after all, and has made an international achievement, so he is in the limelight, so he naturally wants to support Junxin: "I think his experimental plan and conjecture are very good, there is no reason to stop the experiment that has completed all the design and all the prerequisite preparations, although the amount of funding is a little larger, but the amount can be discussed, But I think this application can be passed. ”

The principal nodded, and although Professor Chen's words slightly tactfully explained Junxin's experiment, he supported Junxin.

The principal nodded and asked Professor Hu, "Old Hu, Junxin is also your person, can you say a few words?" ”

Professor Hu took a sip of tea from the teacup, nodded when he heard the words, and said, "If your School of Chemistry doesn't pay for it, then our Department of Mathematics will come out, but everything that follows has nothing to do with the School of Chemistry!" ”

"Lao Hu, is this good?" Professor Hu's words caused a lot of confusion, and none of them could imagine why Professor Hu would support Junxin so strongly.

"Our chemistry college won't even be able to take out two or three thousand yuan, right?" Professor Chen naturally understood what Professor Hu meant, shook his head and said.

was choked by Professor Hu like this, and the professors and associate professors who opposed it stopped talking. At this time, the principal turned his head to look at Professor Cheng, who was sitting next to Professor Hu and had not said a word. Professor Cheng, like Professor Hu, is a member of the Faculty and is also the Dean of the School of Chemistry.

Professor Cheng knew that he couldn't hide when he saw the president's eyes, not to mention that he didn't plan to dodge, and he had talked to Professor Hu before and knew some things about Junxin, so he still knew a lot about Junxin, who had never met before. So he thought for a while and said, "Lao Hu, don't say anything about the money paid by your mathematics department, even though he is a student of your mathematics department." Well, I know that Junxin's math classes are basically not needed. So I have a proposal, you see how it goes. ”

Professor Hu nodded, he didn't really want to contribute, the budget of the Department of Mathematics for this year had been fully spent, and there was no money for Junxin, but he just wanted to force the School of Chemistry for this purpose. However, even if the School of Chemistry does not pay for it, Professor Hu will not mind paying for it himself, and it is a big deal to apply directly for the special funds of the school. An Annals of Mathematics, the reason is sufficient.

"Now that his math class has ended, and his recent research direction is related to chemistry, let's put his name in Lao Chen's laboratory first, and we will give him the funds he needs on the grounds of allocating funds to Lao Chen, what do you think?"

"And what if it comes out?"

"Of course, hang up the name of the Faculty of Chemistry!"

"What if it's mathematical?"

"How about hanging your names, and if it's a combination of both, hanging two?"

"Good!" Professor Hu felt that he was not at a loss, and nodded in agreement.

Seeing this, the principal said: "Since everyone has no opinions, then, the school foundation will allocate 3,000 yuan to Junxin to complete his project, this matter should be fast!" ”

Out of the venue, Professor Hu and Professor Cheng walked at the back, and Professor Hu suddenly said to Professor Cheng: "Old Cheng, your abacus is very fine?" ”

"Haha, Lao Hu, just push the boat down the river!"

"Well, I persuaded him, but after all, it has to do with chemistry, and I can't say anything. As long as he remembers math! ”

"Of course it's not okay to be distracted, but his plasticity is still very strong, don't restrain him at this time, after all, we haven't seen the limit of his ability! So, relax. ”

Junxin naturally didn't know that the efforts of the two professors had approved his application, and at this moment he was targeted by an officer of the school's propaganda department. Here's the thing, since the headmaster ordered the publicity, Minister Bao sent one of his officers to follow Junxin, and one question after another came out, and Junxin didn't know how many strange questions were hidden in the brain of such a delicate and cute but extremely capable officer.

"Junxin-san, who is Modle? Why did he come up with such a conjecture? ”

"Junxin, is there any connection between the Mordell conjecture and the Goldbach conjecture?"

"Junxin-san, do you know Modl?"

"Junxin, I heard that you have a girlfriend, is it true or fake?"

"Junxin's ,........."

………

The previous question was okay, and Jun Xin patiently replied: "Modelle is a mathematician in England, and I have not seen it myself. The Mordell conjecture and the Goldbach conjecture are both part of number theory" and so on, but the latter questions cannot be answered by themselves. This is completely beyond the limit of his "imagination", and while being silent, Jun Xin can't help but sigh that this officer's brain hole is not worse than any mathematician in the world.

"Junxin, why don't you answer?"

"Private privacy, no need to answer!" Junxin had a cold face and refused very depressedly.

"I heard your girlfriend is beautiful, right?"

"You've asked this question four times, and I've answered it three times, and I don't want to answer it again."

"Okay, then I'm going to ask you what you think about college student love."

Junxin almost ran away, what is this, what is right, the style of painting is wrong, is it to inquire into people's privacy, or to ask about the content of Modell's conjecture!

"I refuse to answer everything about the Modelle conjecture and anything other than my major, please don't ask any more!"
