From failed candidate to chief scientist

Chapter 220 How is this normal?

Seeing that all three people had accepted the task, Lin Mo nodded with satisfaction.

"Okay, three teachers, then you can start related research work. If you encounter any difficulties in research, you can come to me at any time to research resources or needs, or other aspects of life. If you need it, you can You can ask Director Zhang and Director Tian."

Zeng Guangping, He Yinhua, and Chen Jiachuan all nodded.

"Oh, by the way, three teachers, you also know the future development plan of our research center, so I hope that your research can speed up the progress, so I would like to put forward a time requirement for your project, is it okay? "

time requirement?

The three of them looked at each other and frowned.

But think about it, in the past when they applied for projects at Tunghai University, they would also have time requirements, but if they couldn't complete it on time, there would be no progress, so they almost forgot about it.

The three of them were new. Lin Mo had made the test so straightforward just now, so the time request now was obviously part of the test. The three of them thought about it. Although they felt that the subject was beyond their imagination, they At this time, it was difficult to refuse, so they could only nod in unison.

"Well."

"Teacher He and Teacher Chen's projects are relatively simple, so let's have a... no, three months deadline."

"Teacher Zeng's project is a little more difficult, so let's take six months as the deadline."

"what?!"

"Three months?"

"Six months?"

Zeng Guangping, He Yinhua, and Chen Jiachuan opened their eyes wide.

Some of them couldn't believe their ears and felt that they had heard wrongly.

Their previous research projects were measured in years. When did you ever hear that research could be completed in three or two months?
Are you kidding me?
And this is not a simple small project, this is Hilbert's No. 12 problem: constructing the largest Abelian extension of the number field, multi-scale modeling and calculation of water molecules, this kind of project only gives three months time limit ?
Is this a question that one person can study in three months?
And the Riemann Hypothesis, six months?
Countless scientists have spent more than 160 years on a problem that has not been solved. You just asked us to finish it in half a year?
Zeng Guangping, He Yinhua and Chen Jiachuan were going crazy, with disbelief on their faces. If it weren't for the serious expression on Lin Mo's face, they would have thought that Lin Mo was joking or deliberately suppressing them. After all, they had done this before at Tunghai University. Encountered quite often.

Arranging an impossible project and asking them to voluntarily give in and give up research funds and projects is a common method used by Tunghai University's direct descendants to bully them.

"Teacher Lin Mo, this is impossible!"

Chen Jiachuan was outspoken and spoke directly and decisively.

"Lin...Lin Mo...teacher, this...this...can't be completed..."

Seeing Chen Jiachuan taking the lead, Zeng Guangping also spoke bravely.

"That's right, Mr. Lin Mo, isn't this time too short?"

The three of them were in unison, and He Yinhua also hurriedly spoke.

They all felt that the project they took on was impossible to complete within the time limit set by Lin Mo. If they didn't refuse it now, if they didn't finish it when the time came, it would be considered as if they had failed the test to Lin Mo.

They finally broke away from Tunghai University and came here. With higher salary and better research environment than before, they were reluctant to leave.

Seeing the fierce reactions of the three people, Lin Mo waved his hands. Just as he was about to explain, Shan Gang, who was watching the excitement, spoke first.

"Three teachers, you may not know much about the research progress of our Mathematics Research Center. With Lin Mo's participation, the time limit for such research is not short at all."

(O_o)??
The three of them had question marks on their faces.

Do we live in the same world?Do we have different definitions of time?Are the three months you talk about and the three months we talk about the same concept of time?
"Three teachers, I think you also know the research results released by our research center before, but do you know how long it took for these research results to be produced from the project establishment to the results?"

The three of them shook their heads. How could they know this?Shan Gang smiled.

"Then I'll talk to the three teachers."

"Where to start? Let's start with the first project of our research center, the analysis and application research of the differential mean value theorem."

The three of them were a little confused. Does the research center have this project?

Even Lin Mo was stunned for a moment, have I ever done this project?
"This project is the basis for the establishment of our Mathematics Research Center. It is precisely because of this project that it was successfully published in Acta Mathematica and became the first paper successfully published in a top journal in five years, which contributed to the establishment of our current Mathematics Research Center. of establishment.”

Lin Mo suddenly realized that this was indeed the case.

"This project took less than two weeks from project establishment to completion. The project results have been published in the Journal of Mathematics before the project establishment report was submitted."

The three of them nodded when they heard this, but the doubts on their faces did not disappear by half.

"The three teachers must think that this project is not difficult. The short time does not mean anything, right?"

Shan Gang had already guessed what the three of them were thinking just by looking at their expressions.

"Then let's talk about the center's second project, Kratz's conjecture."

"Do you know how long Kratz's conjecture took?"

The three shook their heads in unison.

"One month!"

Shan Gang raised a finger.

"In less than a month, our Lin Mo completed the proof of Kratz's conjecture."

"Maybe you still think this doesn't mean anything, so let's keep looking."

Without giving the three of them a chance to speak, Shan Gang continued to speak.

"The third project, the restrictive issue of Fourier transform, took one month, or less than one month, and we, Lin Mo, completed this topic."

"Next is the NS equation..."

"This time may be a little longer, two and a half months."

"But if you think about it for a long time, three teachers can understand it. After all, this is the NS equation, one of the seven major problems of the millennium. It is normal to spend more time."

The three of them opened their mouths, wanting to say something, but they still closed their mouths.

They were shouting in their hearts, where is this normal?

This is not normal at all, okay?
"Oh, by the way, during this period, our Lin Mo also completed the Lin-Lu equation, which took less than a month."

"Also Lin Mo hypothesized that this was improvised at the World Congress of Mathematicians, and it took...just one day."

"and also……"

Shan Gang counted them one by one.

Zeng Guangping, He Yinhua and Chen Jiachuan, who were listening on the sidelines, were already numb.
