Chapter 119 Education Funding
The freshman ceremony ended in a frantic uproar, and the royal guard left with the royal family members.
But the king's speech caused an uproar.
What William II said, the incompleteness is the national policy in the near future, and it is the future direction of the kingdom, and those who are interested will definitely notice this.
At least students from the School of Mechanical Technology and the School of Natural Sciences have begun to discuss the feasibility of the "perpetual motion machine", and students from other countries will inevitably send this news to their own country, so that all countries in the Northern Continent will pay attention to its existence.
Listening to what William II just said, the invention of the "perpetual motion machine" has now reached an important moment. No matter how much it costs, this research will continue and will continue to increase investment in this area.
It seems that he has given up his mind and decided to die in this research.
This is not surprising at all. William II has been enjoying the national dividends brought by his father William the Great and Prime Minister Sorens until now, and has been criticized by people since he came to power.
What's more, if he wants to really take power, he still has to wrestle with the prime minister, and he needs to show good achievements.
If you want to make a perpetual motion machine, you need a powerful ally. The University of Michigan is undoubtedly a good choice, with an orthodox status and a long history.
Except for the students from the School of Humanities and Social Sciences and the Department of Medicine, there was not much interest in this, and Tu Fu was the calmest.
Because this is a wrong path in itself, no matter how you go, you will only hit a wall in the end.
If the "perpetual motion machine" can really exist, then all the previous physics buildings will be completely overthrown.
The only regret Tu Fu felt was that he didn't see the princess's face clearly, so he couldn't help but sighed again.
"You didn't seem very interested just now?"
Miss Winnie, who had held back the whole question, finally couldn't help asking after she came out of the great hall.
"No, I'm just thinking about what I'm going to eat after the meeting, it's a serious question."
Tu Fu pretended to be very serious and said.
"There are five restaurants in Michigan University. I recommend you to go to Restaurant No. 3, which is the closest to the library. It tastes the best and is cheap, especially the charcoal-grilled steak is very tender."
His clumsy acting skills made Winnie Darrow believe it was true, which made people find it funny, "Winnie, what do you think of what Mr. King said just now?"
She played her talkative nature and started chattering again, "Well, let me talk about my feelings, although I don't understand what that experiment has to do with the future of the kingdom.
But I have read many history books, and I always feel that a country is too dependent on something, which is not a good thing. I don't think that even if that kind of thing was invented, it wouldn't necessarily make Baia a perfect utopia. "
"Winnie, you are the one with great wisdom."
Tu Fu praised seriously, don't look at this girl's stupidity, her vision and thinking are beyond that of many people in the school.
"Oops, I almost forgot one thing. Professor Kane said they wanted to see you after the ceremony." Winnie slapped her head suddenly, almost forgetting this important thing.
"Professor Kane is the head of the History Department of the Academy of Humanities and Social Sciences. He is a remarkable person."
"see me?"
Tu Fu knew this person, and the professor was there when he went to Leeds, so he was a little curious about what a dignified professor could ask him for.
"His Majesty the King has left?"
"The one who left together was that stupid idea. I hope the stupidity will not be contagious to the University of Michigan."
"Perhaps there will be some big moves in Fort Sill this year."
In the building of the School of Humanities and Social Sciences, several professors talked about their views on the "perpetual motion machine". Even if they are not professionals, they know that it is by no means a problem that can be easily resolved.
But William II's attitude has already been put there, no matter how much it will cost in the future, until the final result of this research. Everyone felt a headache when they thought of the resources that would be consumed.
"Look who is here, let us welcome Tufu."
Noticing the students coming here outside the door, Charles Kane, who was already impatient, immediately became enthusiastic and clapped his hands actively.
"After listening to His Majesty's speech, what do you think?"
"The language is beautiful, the content is substantial, the voice is loud and clear, and the words are fluent. The overall sound is really good." Tu Fu thought for a long time, and finally gave a lot of praise.
Cursing the little guy secretly, Kane smiled and said: "According to the news we have received, our dear His Majesty the King can't wait to expand his plan, and soon those factories in Göttinghagen will be back soon." Keep expanding."
Tu Fu was not very surprised. He had already felt his determination on this matter from William II, and the University of Michigan must have made his voice heard through this platform.
"Not surprisingly, the School of Mechanical Engineering and the School of Natural Sciences of the two major universities have the opportunity to receive a large amount of education funds, about 100,000 crowns, which are specially used to invest in the research of 'perpetual motion machines'."
"One hundred thousand! That's a waste."
After Tu Fu heard that huge number, he couldn't help but sigh in distress.
"Why do you say that, you are not optimistic about the prospects of that machine?"
"Yes, sir, in my opinion this is doomed to futility." Tu Fu shook his head.
A study that was on the wrong path from the very beginning found that no matter how much money is thrown into it, it is futile.
"Fortunately, we also think so, but fortunately the money will not be sent directly, but will be sent to the Institute of Mechanical Technology and the Academy of Natural Sciences through some channels, because even the king cannot do whatever he wants."
Professor Kane analyzed seriously, "Shortly afterwards, the Göttinghagen University Office will hold a large-scale competition to assess freshmen from each school. Regarding poetry, physics and other literary and academic content, the team ranked first will be the winner. Get this funding for the college you represent.
We have read your profile. Although there are some excellent freshmen in this class, no one is more suitable than you in this respect. "
After hearing Professor Kane's words, Tu Fu was full of complaints. He said with a bitter face, "Sir, that's His Majesty's will. You let me, a little man, do these things?"
"Don't worry, there is something secret to help you. Students in this kind of competition get the money through formal channels. Even the king can't have any opinions. This shows that you are more capable than them to get the transfer .
Boy, you don't want to see such a large sum of money go to waste, do you?"
"Then how to ensure the fairness of the game?"
"Except for some of the kingdom's prosecutors, the other examiners are teachers from the Seven Schools Alliance. No school will ruin its reputation for such a sum of money." Presumably, Professor Kane investigated carefully enough and did all his homework.
Tu Fu had to re-examine this elegant and easy-going young professor. This seemingly honest gentleman did not expect to be so limitless in his actions.
He even intercepted a sum of money earmarked for the king.
Charles Kane looked at Tu Fu with a smile, and the smell of conspiracy radiated everywhere, "This is not only to help the Academy of Humanities and Social Sciences, but also has a very important meaning.
I know the reason why you chose to major in archaeology. That incident was the most serious accident at the University of Michigan. In fact, our professors at the University of Michigan respect every professor who participated in the Polar Project. They have unimaginable courage, not to mention Professor Capet They have actually achieved some results.
Unfortunately, the Baia government and the academic circles don't think so. The incident was too big and could only be sealed in the end. It is very difficult to start this project again. "
Tu Fu frowned, borrowing the platform of the University of Michigan to explore the polar region was also an important reason for him to come here, did he just give up?
"Fortunately, you are still young. As long as you show your value to school leaders and university officials in the next few years, everything will still have a chance.
If you have enough influence at the University of Michigan, or even become a new generation of student leaders, it is not impossible to restart that project in the future. "Professor Kane emphasized.
"Student leader?" Tu Fu repeated.
“Yes, if you can build a network of your own at the University of Michigan and prove your value in academic or other fields, no one will despise you from now on.
Now, there is no better opportunity than participating in this competition to become famous in one fell swoop. "
Professor Kane kept tempting him, "Why don't you think about this proposal again."
After hesitating and thinking about the pros and cons for an unknown amount of time, Tu Fu felt a dull pain in his heart every time he thought that such a large sum of money would be in vain. I must have my share of this education fund, at least 50,000 crowns."
"Because I am participating in the name of the academy, I am not in charge of this lead. You can only draw part of it at most." Professor Kane rubbed his head and seriously emphasized: "The personal reward is only three thousand crowns at most."
Hearing this number, Tu Fu sneered, he didn't believe this evil, so he emphasized it again without changing his face, "Even if there is a dense resistance, this is a dangerous thing for me, and there are those who will be retaliated against." risk, so... at least thirty thousand."
"Five thousand."
"Twenty thousand."
"Ten thousand."
Kane had no choice but to go all out. He hurriedly shouted: "This is the bottom line. If you don't want to, I'll replace you immediately."
"make a deal!"
After roughly touching the bottom of the opposite side, Tu Fu also called to stop in a timely manner. He had already made a decision from the beginning.
When he saw the smile on the corner of the slick boy's mouth, Kane suddenly came to his senses. He had every reason to suspect that this kid had already decided to participate in the competition, and those rhetoric just now were just to raise the price.
"Sir, happy cooperation."
Tu Fu chuckled. For an excellent bounty hunter, it is very necessary to get a suitable price for his task.
