"I lost!"


Lu Zhou walked into the school's website to take a look. He didn't even know there was an announcement.


Who would have thought that one could make money by writing a thesis?


It was all because of the meeting.


The rules of rewards are announced on the website.


[Total gifts \= (IF +1) * 5000 yuan]


IF is a factor of journal impact.


For example, the impact factor of [International Journal of Theoretical and Applied Mathematics] is 3,310. He published two mathematical theses, so the school would give him a total of 41,300 yuan. Also, according to Professor Tang, these bonuses will be paid out in the form of scientific research grants. According to Article 4 of the income tax law, the tax is free!


The other nine theses are not eligible for the prize. Although they are considered SCI theses, they are published in general journals.


Lu Zhou saw this and was heartbroken.


From the CEO's evaluation, all nine of his theses are definitely worth it. He deceived himself with a small payment of 150 yuan.


There is no point in regret.


However, if one thought about it clearly, it would be hard to tell whether it was a loss or a profit.


If it is never published in a general journal, it will be reviewed by more professional academic reviewers. The thesis may not stand out from other theses or pass reviews so quickly.


The reason why he was able to get an S + evaluation and unlock the award mission was largely due to the speed of the general journal review process.


After all, he might be able to have enough money for the server?


"Zhou, what are you looking at?"


Liu Rui saw that Lu Zhou did not go to the library to study. Instead, he stared at the computer screen. Out of curiosity, he finally asked.


Liu Rui finally stopped sucking on Lu Zhou.


It seems that all pandering is over ...


"It's okay," Lu Zhou sighed. He said, "I'm just sad that I lost a little money."


"What money ... This scientific prize? F*ck me, you are too kind .. "said Liu Rui as her eyes widened. He shouted, "How much do you get?"


"Maybe ten or twenty thousand."


Lu Zhou wanted to be humble and said a lower number.


He had not expected Liu Rui to be surprised by that.


Liu Rui was silent for a while.


After a long time, he sighed and said expressionlessly, "Zhou, how about you buy dinner for us tonight?"


Lu Zhou thought about it. Makes sense.


After all, he said that they should not forget each other and that they should buy food for each other when they become rich.


Even though he valued money, he was not selfish.


Therefore, he took Liu Rui to a food street near the school and found a hotpot hotspot ...


...


Spicy hotpots were delivered to their desks. Liu Rui usually did not drink but he ordered two beers.


Each opened a beer.


Suddenly, Liu Rui asked, "How is school in the summer?"


Lu Zhou was eating a cane tofu as he replied, "It's okay? Quite satisfying. "


"I'm so jealous of you," sighed Liu Rui. He then added, “I feel like I'm getting stupid. I cannot accept new knowledge. "


She was very sorry about entering the mathematical modeling competition.


Once he passed the first round of school selection, he was given a teammate and a teacher. However, once the actual training began, he realized how far behind he was from true geniuses.


For example, the third-year student on his team had won the second prize twice. He entered this competition before graduating in hopes of getting the first prize. Liu Rui compared himself to him and felt like he was the younger brother holding the big brother's leg.


Later, Liu Rui heard from another team that the school was organizing that various departments had organized "super teams". It was a real gold team. Those people were not even willing to train with people like him.


Liu Rui finally understood that Lu Zhou team was a legendary super team.


Upon hearing the news, he was confused and confused.


Because the distance was too great, he even began to think whether he should be envious of his roommate, who suddenly rose to success.


Lu Zhou tapped his beer into Liu Rui's beer as he said, "You're making yourself too tired, I think."


"There's no other way. There are people who are better than me when I work harder than I am. I have to work hard, ” Liu Rui said. He slammed the beer and sighed. It seemed like he was trying to bring out the depression from his body and let it soar into the night sky.


Lu Zhou was slightly drunk and could not understand why Liu Rui was depressed.


When people are drunk, they like to talk indecently.


"I remember .. I shouldn't have said it."


Liu Rui stopped. He thought that Lu Zhou had good advice and he could not help but ask, "What?"


Lu Zhou burped before saying, "If there are people better than you and work harder than you, then what's the point of you working hard?"


Liu Rui: "..."


The couple spent seven beers, five of which were consumed by Liu Rui himself.


...


Liu Rui was not the type who could handle alcohol and he would remain silent when he was drunk. After drinking the last bottle, he slammed his head on the table and it frightened Lu Zhou. Even the manager of the spicy hotpot was shocked when he thought Liu Rui was poisoned.


After that, the boy flipped over and started talking nonsense. The manager and Lu Zhou were relieved to see that.


As soon as Lu Zhou paid the bill, he brought the drunken Liu Rui back to his dorm. Lu Zhou did not have the strength to take him up the stairs. So, he took out a mat from his cabinet and had Liu Rui sleep on the floor.


He waited for her to lie on the mat before giving Liu Rui a blanket.


No one else would help their friend like this.


Lu Zhou turned on the AC and sat down on the chair before taking a sip of water. He breathed a sigh of relief.


She's tired.


Liu Rui did not feel tired at all. Instead, he lay down and began to snore.


"You're gonna have a great headache tomorrow morning."


Lu Zhou shook his head and opened the computer. He logged onto an online shopping site and started looking for a suitable server.


According to Professor Tang, the school will transfer money to him no later than tomorrow. He'll find the server today and order it after he receives the money tomorrow.


If possible, he wants to buy a good quality server.


It was not entirely for his ticket purchase application, but also in preparation for the "level 0 artificial intelligence" mission prize".


What will happen after I upgrade the artificial intelligence from level 0 to level 1?


That would be the first branch of technology he ever opened.


Therefore, Lu Zhou was extremely excited.


Of course, after he saw the price of the server, his face turned blue.


"Dell ... Rackmount chassis 2U, 56 core 112 thread 256GB RAM, comes with twelve hard drives 8TB, 270,000 yuan! It's impossible."


“Lenovo IBM, dual controller storage array. Using Storwize real-time compression technology, 64GB of RAM, 8 8GB fiber connections, 24 3.5-inch hard drives! Price, 40,000! It seems okay ... Waitaminute! I missed zero ... I can't afford it! ”


He scrolled the other pages but everything was equally expensive.


Fuck those!


Why so expensive!


Lu Zhou sorted by price and found some cheaper servers. However, he did not know if they could handle his operating needs. He couldn't possibly spend all his money to buy a server.


Maintaining the operation of the server also costs money!


Lu Zhou could not decide. Suddenly, he remembered about the computer science genius on his team.


Oh yeah, why didn't I ask him?


Since it was still early morning, Lu Zhou pulled out his phone and called him.
