King Who Will Cross

The new king of Tuvalu has gone crazy again.

It's so stupid that money comes so quickly. Do you think it's because it's so easy for him to make money that he dares to waste it like this?

I also submitted a research application. I plan to study how to make a curtain in front of the sun. When the summer is too hot, I will close the curtain. Do you think the new King of Tuvalu will approve my research application? ?”

How much research funding did you apply for upstairs? If it doesn't exceed a penny, I think the king of New Tuvalu will approve your research application.

…

The storm in the academic world was published in a very short period of time by some entertainment journalists with a keen sense of smell, and was published in the entertainment section with a large number of followers.

Yes, a recruitment event only for scientific researchers was published in the entertainment section of many media.

This has also triggered a lot of discussions among netizens.

In the King's Villa in New Tuvalu, Ultron had just completed the preliminary screening of the first batch of more than 20,000 research projects and reported again: Your Majesty the King, we have received more than 300,000 research applications. .According to my preliminary analysis, these 300,000 research applications are completely without any practical significance.

Li Daniu asked curiously: For example?

Ultron called out some very representative research projects and introduced: For example, this research plan is to create a huge curtain in front of the sun, which can block the sunlight hitting the earth. Another example is this The research plan is to develop a device that, after being installed on humans, can instantly convert human feces into energy and reinject it into the human body. And...

Stop! Li Daniu was so disgusted that he said, What the hell are these?

Ultron said: Someone published the email address where we received the research plan, so many netizens participated in this matter.

When Li Daniu heard that it was a netizen, he laughed and said, Let's just filter these out. By the way, how do the academic community evaluate my behavior this time?

Ultron replied: Many people think that you just want to use huge funds to enrich the teaching staff of the New Royal College of Tuvalu, and then build the New Royal College of Tuvalu into a world-class institution of higher learning.

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 idea you mentioned. Because in the eyes of many people, projects that have development prospects or can be successfully researched can receive capital funding. And those who do not have funding and want to Researchers who want to use your research funds to continue their own projects are research projects with no future.

Li Daniu laughed and said: For other people, choosing to invest in these scientific researchers who cannot find investors is a very risky thing. But for us, haha... it is definitely an account. It’s a big bargain.”

Ultron said: According to my preliminary analysis, there are more than 35 projects in the research applications that have been submitted, which are consistent with some completed scientific research projects in the database. If you are determined to fund these research projects, then, through subconscious influence equipment , it is expected that all 35 research projects will be completed within half a year.

Li Daniu asked: How much research funding have been applied for these 35 research projects?

Ultron replied: $16.7575 billion.

It's still a lot worse. Li Daniu sighed and asked: How many of the disguised robots we released before were engaged in scientific research?

53!

Li Daniu laughed and said: Very good, let these 53 disguised robots submit research applications and then form their own research team.

Ultron asked doubtfully: But,

Your Majesty the King, if disguised robots take up most of the scientific research funds, then your goal of improving the teaching staff of the New Royal College of Tuvalu will not be achieved.

Li Daniu shook his head and said: Ultra, this is like a lottery. Tens of millions of people buy each issue, but in fact there are only a few winners. As long as the whole world sees it, some The Pujie researchers they are familiar with have successfully obtained huge returns through our funding. Then, our new Tuvalu Royal Research Fund can become the hope of all Pujie researchers.

Ultron said: I can probably understand what you mean, so can we start identifying funding projects immediately?

Li Daniu said: No, now is not the time. This time, we have 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 be used up, the next Funds will continue to arrive.”

Ultron said: What you mean is that you want to cultivate the habit of scientific researchers around the world. When looking for research funds, the first choice is the New Tuvalu Royal Research Fund?

Li Daniu said: Not only that, we also need to use certain means to make people all over the world think that if you join the Royal Academy of New Tuvalu, or even become a citizen of New Tuvalu, you will have the opportunity to obtain research funds. The bigger it is. Of course, on the surface, we absolutely cannot admit this.

…

Three days after the advertisement for the new Tuvalu Royal Research Fund was published in Science magazine and other journals, Mars received a call.

After hanging up the phone, Mars stopped walking into the classroom, turned around and rushed outside the school. At the same time, he took out his mobile phone and made a call to book a ticket to New Tuvalu.

After the class bell rang, the students waiting in the classroom did not see the professor who they thought was very boring, and happily left the classroom directly.

Soon, the dean of the medical school got the news that Mars, a lecturer, skipped classes without taking leave.

Just when I was about to stop his classes and end the funding for his research, he actually jumped out. The dean was secretly happy and directly gave the relevant instructions.

Mars was packing his luggage at his residence when he received a call from the college.

Professor Mars, I'm sorry, because your behavior has caused a very bad impact, so we have decided to deduct your research funds for this month. And, I am sorry to inform you that your courses will be stopped next semester. If If you want to teach new courses, you can make relevant applications.

Mars felt some pain in his chest again and asked, Why don't you just terminate the contract with me?

There was silence on the other side of the phone for a moment.

Mars continued: I will type a resignation letter now and hope you can approve it as soon as possible.

After hanging up the phone, Mars picked up his suitcase and went out to hail a car and head to the airport.

The resignation letter he sent in the car was printed out by the assistant dean in the shortest time, and then the relevant personnel were asked to sign it.

Before Mars got on the plane, the assistant dean called him again and said: Professor Mars, your resignation report 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. He hung up the phone and called an acquaintance of his colleagues. He asked him to help him put away his computer, and then boarded a plane to New Tuvalu.

One day later, a piece of news quickly became a hot topic in academic circles.

Mars? Isn't he the one who studies impractical artificial regeneration technology at Harvard University? How could he be the first to receive funding from the new Tuvalu Royal Family Research Fund?

The most important thing is that he received 300 million U.S. dollars in funding at once, which is more funding than our research laboratory has received.

It's obviously 6 times our research funds, okay?

How about... let's try to apply?

The dean of Harvard Medical School was still happy that he had eliminated a cancer that wasted the school's resources when he heard the news that Mars had received $300 million in funding.

Is the world crazy? Why would anyone still fund a guy like Mars?
