Chapter 94 The NBA is not swollen to make money
Only then did the reporters remember that this guy's nickname was "Professor". He was not only a dominating player on the basketball court, but also a top student who had solved seven thousand-year-old mathematical problems!
However, some reporters were still unwilling to give in. After getting permission from the press officer, Clark stood up and asked, "Have you ever thought about doing scientific research while playing basketball, or playing for a few years and getting a championship ring before returning to campus? What if?
If that’s the case, wouldn’t it be better if you could also accumulate enough funds to invest in scientific research?”
Yes, this is the best. We will not lack news. The remaining reporters also agreed, especially Li Xiao, Feng Hongqi and others. They looked at Lu Qiujian eagerly. If he agreed with this view, he would
Will the opportunity for promotion and salary increase come back?
"The NBA has 82 regular season games every year, plus preseason games, there are even more playoffs, and we need to fly to various parts of the United States to compete. If I join the NBA, I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of scientific research at the same time!", Lu Qiu
Jian Ye has thought of this a long time ago, "As for playing football for a few years before going back to school, it is even more undesirable. The golden period of athletes and the period when scientists are most creative actually overlap. The most important period in many scientists' academic careers is
Achievements are all at this moment
Acquired within time: Einstein published quantum theory at the age of 26, proposed the light quantum hypothesis, solved the problem of photoelectric effect, independently and completely proposed the principle of special relativity, and created a new era of physics; de Broglie was 32 years old.
At that time, he proposed the concept of matter waves; Yang Zhenning also collaborated with Mills to complete the Yang-Mills equation at the age of 32. This was also the most important physical breakthrough in the second half of the twentieth century, and in that year Robert Mills was only 27
age!"
At this point, Lu Qiujian paused for a moment, and waited for them to finish digesting his words before continuing, "Moreover, science is developing faster and faster now. New ideas are put forward and new theories are discovered every moment.
....If I go to play basketball, I'm afraid I will have to learn it all over again from my freshman year when I come back in a few years!" Well, in fact, if 1a7488 didn't have a time limit on the task, then going to the NBA would not be a problem.
Can't.
"As for the funding issue you just mentioned." Lu Qiujian asked with a smile, "Who had the highest salary in the NBA last year? What was the annual salary? And who had the highest total income in the sports world? How much was the income?"
These questions are too simple for reporters who have been in the sports world for many years. Clark answered without thinking, "The highest paid person last year was Kevin Garnett of the Timberwolves, with an annual salary of 2,200.
400,000 U.S. dollars, ranked second by O'Neal with 21.8 million U.S. dollars; the highest earner in the entire sports world is Schumacher of the F1 Ferrari team, with an annual income of more than 77 million U.S. dollars, ranking second
It’s Tiger Woods…”
"Thank you Clark!" Lu Qiujian interrupted, "Your memory is great. It seems that you will also achieve good results if you study mathematics!"
When the reporters' laughter gradually subsided, Lu Qiujian shrugged, "It sounds like a lot, to be honest, I'm a little excited!" The reporters' depressed mood just now was about to improve, but Lu Qiujian took the lead.
Pour a basin of cold water on it, "But this is far from enough for science!"
"In 1990, NASA launched the Hubble Space Telescope into space. The cost of building the Hubble Telescope was US$3 billion! That was US dollars in 1990!" Lu Qiujian looked at the sky and made a hard calculation.
, "Even if inflation is not taken into account, Garnett would have to play for 134 years to earn so much, and Schumacher would have to work hard for 39 years."
"This is just the cost of the Hubble Telescope, plus the cost of later repairs and maintenance. If it can still be used for ten years, NASA will spend at least US$8 billion on this little baby!" Lu Qiujian said.
He clicked his tongue and said, "And this thing that costs 8 billion US dollars is just part of NASA's large-scale orbital observatory plan. Your country in the United States is really too rich!"
Before the reporter could recover from the shock of $8 billion, Lu Qiujian gave another example, "While the United States launched the Hubble Space Telescope, the European Institute for Particle Physics also launched the Large Hadron Collider Impact
plan, the budget for this experimental facility is as high as $5 billion
Yuan, the actual cost exceeds 10 billion! The cost budget of the International Linear Collider under discussion is 6.7 billion U.S. dollars! However, the United States terminated its own collider construction plan because the cost was too high, because its budget exceeded 14 billion U.S. dollars.
U.S. dollars! Even the financial resources of the United States cannot bear it!”
"Science is very expensive! The income from the NBA is nothing compared to this! There is no way to provide me with much help!" This is also the reason why Lu Qiujian does not earn his own money for research.
This investment is so huge that even the combined wealth of Mr. Wayne and Stark is not enough, let alone the pitiful income of an NBA star!
And the biggest difficulty is not funds. Even if you have so much money, you can't find the 7,000 scientists required by CERN to launch the Large Hadron Collider project! Only a few countries can do this.
, no country will allow private individuals to convene so many scientists to conduct such sensitive research.
"But aren't you a mathematician?" Someone finally realized, "Aren't these the physics research facilities you're talking about?"
Who told you that I want to study mathematics all the time? However, Lu Qiujian did not explain this problem, "Even mathematical research requires the use of supercomputers. The four-color problem can only be solved with the help of electronic computers! And building a supercomputer
It requires more than a billion dollars; well, this seems much easier. Garnett only needs to play for the Timberwolves for 45 years, and Schumacher only needs to drive a car for 13 years to save up! I hope I can still remember the four arithmetic by then.
How to do it! But do you think that country is willing to sell this kind of thing to me?"
Well, the reporters then remembered that Lu Qiujian was from China, and the American government would definitely not allow him to purchase such a sensitive item privately!
Compared with his needs, the little money NBA stars earn seems to be unattractive! For the first time, reporters discovered that the money NBA stars really don’t earn is that much!
Until this moment, the reporters were convinced that Lu Qiujian's refusal to participate in the draft was not a hype! Now it seems that this year's NCAA is probably the swan song of this talented player? When thinking of this, the reporters present were all silent, and they didn't know for a moment
