From failed candidate to chief scientist

Chapter 180 This all requires money.

"By the way, Teacher Jiang, remember to compile the algorithm into a paper in advance. For publication, you can ask Teacher Zhang..."

Lin Mo was mid-sentence when he suddenly remembered something.

"Oh, no, Teacher Jiang, should algorithm papers be published in computer journals? Isn't Acta Mathematica not suitable?"

"No, no, the algorithm is also computational mathematics, and the algorithm for the Mersenne prime numbers was published in the Journal of Mathematics. There is nothing inappropriate. It can be said to be very suitable."

Jiang Fanjun naturally knew Lin Mo's influence in the Journal of Mathematics. It was as if the Journal of Mathematics was opened specifically for Lin Mo, taking everything he had.

So what kind of joke are you kidding me, leaving the top journal like Acta Mathematica alone to open up a new battlefield?Whether it can be published or not, whether it will cause a splash is another question. Jiang Fanjun is not stupid, so he naturally knows how to choose.

Jiang Fanjun quickly agreed, fearing that he would be too late.

"Well, Teacher Jiang, just take care of yourself. The paper should be published as soon as possible, and the copyright registration of the program should also be done as soon as possible."

"Well, don't worry, Lin Mo, I will take care of it."

"Okay, Teacher Jiang, I'll leave all this to you. This time you will give a report. I hope you can make the reputation of our Algorithm Center of the Mathematics Research Center known and become an instant hit! This will have a great impact on the future of our Algorithm Center. Development is very important, and I ask Teacher Jiang to pay more attention to it and pay more attention to it!"

Lin Mo's plan is to build on this achievement in Mersenne's prime number algorithm, show off the strength of the Mathematical Research Center in algorithm research and development to the world, and use the Algorithm Center's brand name to attract institutions that need to develop algorithms. And companies, especially those tyrannical companies waving money, take this opportunity to undertake some algorithm research and development projects and work.

By cooperating with large institutions and enterprises to provide them with the customized algorithms they need, on the one hand, we can cultivate our own algorithm talents, and on the other hand, we can obtain corresponding rewards.

This was also the idea that Lin Mo came up with after last reaching an algorithm research and development cooperation worth US$100 million with Holt Labs.

The cooperation with Holt's laboratory was completed very smoothly, because the algorithm was developed based on the Kratz conjecture proof and the relevant theories were fully available. Lin Mo and Jiang Fanjun did not spend too much time on Holt's experiment. The algorithm developed by Shi Yao allowed the other party to pay readily.

Through this cooperation, Lin Mo has a closer understanding of algorithm research and development. Unlike mathematical theoretical research, which is difficult to directly apply and cannot be monetized, algorithm research and development can be said to be low investment, high return, and can be directly monetized. Generating economic benefits in a short period of time allowed Lin Mo to see the huge market for algorithms.

Therefore, Lin Mo set his sights on algorithm research.

After all, who has trouble with money?

Although Lin Mo's own assets now exceed tens of millions, his daily expenses are not much, and there is not much need for money. Logically speaking, he should not worry about money, but he is an individual, and he has money. Represents the Mathematical Research Center with money.Especially after seeing the wind tunnel laboratory, where an experiment can easily cost millions or even tens of millions, Lin Mo was frightened. His existing assets were not enough to conduct an experiment. How could this be possible?
Lin Mo now devotes most of his energy to the research of mathematical theory, which does not seem to require much funds, but Lin Mo knows that the research of mathematical theory alone is definitely not enough. He has so much knowledge in his mind, the system panel There are eight major disciplines in the world that have not yet been developed, including physics, chemistry, biology, geology, atmosphere, and oceanography. Lin Mo’s future research will never be limited to the research level of mathematical theory. In addition to mathematics, other disciplines require assistance. For experiments, what is most needed for experiments is money, and not just a little money.

If nothing else, take the current research on turbulence proposed by Lin Mo. Shan Gang is already working on establishing a laboratory, purchasing and installing corresponding experimental equipment, and establishing a small laboratory to simulate turbulence. Experiment, conduct experiments, and collect data.

In fact, if you want to study turbulence, there is no more suitable place than a wind tunnel laboratory. However, the construction of a wind tunnel laboratory is not something Lin Mo dares to think about. Without billions of funds, it is impossible to get it, let alone Not to mention the world's largest wind tunnel laboratory like Shenfei, which may invest more than [-] billion, or even [-] billion.

Therefore, Lin Mo could only secretly make up his mind, throwing bait and setting up the situation. If he wanted to cooperate with Shen Fei, he could use his wind tunnel laboratory.

But this alone is naturally not enough. It is not Lin Mo who has the final say in the wind tunnel laboratory. He can only conduct experiments and analyze the data. Other than that, Lin Mo can only make limited decisions.

Therefore, to conduct turbulence research, Lin Mo had to build his own laboratory. If he couldn't build a wind tunnel, he should at least build a small turbulence simulation laboratory.

We can’t afford to study romantic trends, so it’s okay to study current trends, right?
So Lin Mo asked Shan Gang to prepare for the relevant laboratory establishment matters, but the feedback Shan Gang gave him still left him speechless. A small water flow simulation laboratory would cost hundreds of thousands, and a slightly higher specification would cost Millions.

The current mathematics research center is not unable to get this money. Even if it is not enough, you can still apply for funds with the school and the province. With the name of the provincial key laboratory and the strong support of the previous provincial leaders, you can apply A million dollars of funding should be no problem.

But this is not sustainable. Building a laboratory is only an initial investment, and subsequent experiments are the bulk of the cost. If you don’t look at other wind tunnel laboratories, one experiment costs millions, or even tens of millions. Although this small turbulence laboratory is not It may cost so much, but spending tens of thousands or eight thousand for one experiment is not excessive at all.

Even though Wan'er[-] does not seem to be much, it cannot support the large amount of experiments. If you want to conduct data analysis, without the support of tens of thousands of data, it is impossible to support theoretical research. After all, the cost will go up. .

Without an investment of hundreds or tens of millions, nothing can be accomplished at all.

So much money, just by applying for funds?

I can’t say it’s impossible, I can only say it’s not possible at all.

And this is just one project, there will be more projects in the future, all of which are money!

Otherwise, scientific research is a very expensive thing?

As soon as the experimental equipment was turned on, all the money was flowing.
