Xueba starts with change

Chapter 373 What if he applies for 1+1?
Hearing this question, Zhu Haichang had already prepared a draft, and immediately wanted to blurt it out.

But when he touched Li Zhenbang's eyes, he swallowed back the words that came to his mouth.

That's right, he had long expected that Li Zhenbang would ask such a question later.

I have already thought about how to answer this question.

But what he didn't expect was the look in Li Zhenbang's eyes.

Li Zhenbang's eyes were completely different from usual.

Moreover, Li Zhenbang had never stared at him like this before.

Swallowing, Zhu Haichang reorganized his language, and then slowly said: "Director Li, I think there are good and bad. We should treat Chen Zhou independently. He is a bit different from others. Same."

Li Zhenbang withdrew his gaze, leaned back slightly, leaned on the back of the chair, and said softly: "Tell me, why is Chen Zhou different?"

Zhu Haichang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thought for a while, and said, "In one year, I have solved three world-class math problems. This is beyond the reach of ordinary people."

"Moreover, generally speaking, the reason why mathematics research projects cost a lot of money is because mathematics is too particular about talent. It is difficult for ordinary people to produce results. If it takes a long time, it will cost more money."

"If, like Chen Zhou, he solves a world-class mathematical problem in a few months, it will definitely not cost much money. After all, most mathematical research does not rely on much external force. Especially these mathematical conjectures."

Li Zhenbang nodded slightly: "Indeed, mathematical research relies on talent, and research on mathematical conjectures relies even more on talent. Chen Zhou is indeed different from ordinary people. Therefore, his expenditure cannot be used for comparison with other people."

Hearing what Li Zhenbang said, Zhu Haichang was completely relieved.

Only then did he realize that Chen Zhou's establishment as a "flag of young talents" might not be as simple as just public opinion reports.

Li Zhenbang didn't care about Zhu Haichang's small thoughts, he continued: "Chen Zhou's topic, when publicizing, try to be as concise as possible, and don't put pressure on others."

"Okay." Zhu Haichang responded, and silently wrote down.

Immediately, he thought of another thing, and asked aloud: "Director Li, if Chen Zhou applies for a project again, should the budget for this funding be based on the settlement of this project as a reference?"

Li Zhenbang asked without answering, "What do you think?"

Zhu Haichang hesitated for a moment, then said, "I think it's still possible to compare with him, right?"

Li Zhenbang shook his head slightly, and said with a smile: "In the future, all the projects that Chen Zhou applies for in the national 'Ten Thousand Talents Program' will require neither horizontal comparisons nor vertical comparisons. The funding for the projects he applies for should only be reasonable and granted in accordance with regulations. He will do."

Zhu Haichang nodded: "I understand, Director Li. An outstanding talent like Chen Zhou can control the expenditure of funds very well. From this time, it can be seen that Chen Zhou will not abuse funds, and moreover It will not be used for your own use.”

"At the same time, without horizontal comparison, it will not cause additional pressure to other selected candidates. It can allow them to conduct research with peace of mind."

After Zhu Haichang finished speaking, he was about to continue flattering Li Zhenbang, but he didn't expect that Li Zhenbang didn't give him this chance.

Li Zhenbang shook his head again, looked at Zhu Haichang and said, "The reason for not conducting horizontal comparisons is indeed to avoid putting pressure on others. But the reason for not conducting vertical comparisons is not to worry about whether the funds will be implemented."

"It's just that Chen Zhou's research projects are all world-class math problems, and you won't compare their difficulty. Think about it, what if he applies for 1+1 next time?"

Zhu Haichang froze for a moment, then frowned slightly: "You mean Goldbach's conjecture?"

Li Zhenbang nodded, and asked with a strange expression: "Do you think Goldbach's conjecture can be compared with his current research subject?"

Li Zhenbang's words coincided with what Yang Yiyi said to Chen Zhou.

As long as your next subject is more difficult than this time, they can't compare you with themselves!

That's what Chen Zhou thought, as long as he keeps getting stronger, there is no standard to measure him!
……

Chen Zhou was completely unaware of what happened in the technology department.

If he knew, it is estimated that all the previous depressed mood would be swept away.

At this time, Chen Zhou was in a certain classroom of the School of Mathematics, conducting a graduation defense for a bachelor's degree in the Department of Mathematics.

On the previous day, he had completed the graduation defense of his bachelor's degree in the Department of Physics.

Now as long as he completes the defense in front of him, his undergraduate career will really be over.

On the podium, just as Chen Zhou was about to show his PPT, Dean Sun stopped him.

That's right, Dean Sun personally participated in the graduation defense of Chen Zhou.

This is also very rare in Yanda's history.

Dean Sun is an academician of Huaguo Academy of Sciences!
How many people have this kind of treatment for the graduation defense of undergraduates who are personally participated by academicians?
Therefore, Chen Zhou was also a little surprised when he saw Dean Sun present.

After stopping Chen Zhou from reporting the PPT, Dean Sun said directly: "Your paper, do you remember?"

Chen Zhou was stunned for a moment, not understanding Dean Sun's meaning, he just nodded lightly: "I remember."

Dean Sun then said: "My first doubt is, please explain the origin of formulas 9-12 in the thesis."

Now Chen Zhou understood why Dean Sun appeared here.

This graduation defense was organized into a small report meeting by Dean Sun.

Just when Chen Zhou was about to answer, he noticed a group of people coming in from the back door of the classroom.

Those who came were none other than professors from the School of Mathematics of Yanda University.

The purpose of coming is also very simple, just to listen to Chen Zhou's graduation defense.

Chen Zhou couldn't help being a little dumbfounded. As an undergraduate student, what about his graduation defense?
Chen Zhou made a preliminary count, and most of the professors from the School of Numbers came.

Including Xu Chenyang, the big brother who went to MIT to participate in the academic exchange, also came.

He also nodded to Chen Zhou.

Chen Zhou shifted his gaze to Dean Sun, but Dean Sun pretended to lower his head as if he didn't see it.

Chen Zhou looked at Wu Xiping again, and Wu Xiping's expression was very helpless.

He was only the instructor in charge of Chen Zhou's graduation thesis, not Chen Zhou's teacher in charge of Chen Zhou's graduation defense.

His appearance here today is already considered an extra audience.

Naturally, he couldn't do anything about the influx of professors.

But fortunately, the professors who came in kept the classroom quiet.

As the seats in the classroom were filled one by one, no new people came in.

Dean Sun indicated that Chen Zhou could begin to answer the question just now.

Chen Zhou sighed softly in his heart, this is really a report meeting.

"Dean Sun, let me use the blackboard."

After speaking, Chen Zhou turned around and picked up the chalk on the podium, and began to answer Dean Sun's doubts on the blackboard.
