We consider the Cauchy problem for the energy critical heat equation
$ \begin{equation} \left\{ \begin{aligned} u_t & = \Delta u + u^3 {\quad\hbox{in } }\ \mathbb R^4 \times (0, T), \\ u(\cdot, 0) & = u_0 {\quad\hbox{in } } \mathbb R^4. \end{aligned}\right. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(1)\end{equation} $
We find that for given points
$ q_1, q_2, \ldots, q_k $
 and any sufficiently small
$ T>0 $
 there is an initial condition
$ u_0 $
 such that the solution
$ u(x, t) $
 of (1) blows up at exactly those
$ k $
 points with a type Ⅱ rate, namely larger than
$ (T-t)^{-\frac 12} $
. In fact
$ \|u(\cdot, t)\|_\infty \sim (T-t)^{-1}\log^2(T-t) $
. The blow-up profile around each point is of bubbling type, in the form of sharply scaled Aubin-Talenti bubbles.
Keywords: Energy critical heat equation, type Ⅱ finite time blow-up, inner–outer gluing method, construction of blow-up solution, nondegeneracy.
