Hammer of Technology

Ning Wei followed the car back to school in low spirits, still feeling a little angry and wanted to let it out. After all, if it wasn't for someone making trouble online, it wouldn't have developed like this. The National Day holiday he had been looking forward to for several days ended in a hasty end.

However, he can't vent his anger now. On the contrary, he wants to live a normal life. At this time, he has to keep a low profile, at least until the heat about him on the Internet dies down.But fortunately, when the official called to explain yesterday, he revealed some details to him. People who made him feel uncomfortable will probably have a difficult life after a while, which somewhat calmed his resentment.

It's just that I'm still very annoying now, until I went back to the research institute, ran into Lu Dongyi's office first, and saw Senior Brother Lu who was still calm after digging the hole, and my anxious mood suddenly calmed down.There's no way he just waved at him as if nothing happened, and said nonchalantly, "I'm back? I've thought of something these days. See if my thinking is right."

How can this make people angry?

"Senior Brother Lu, I don't know if your mathematical thinking is right, but you have been single for thirty years, right? Speaking of which, you really haven't met a girl who catches your eye? It can't be said that you don't even have a first love, right? "Ning Wei didn't rush to take the stack of papers given by Senior Brother Lu, but sat down opposite Senior Brother Lu and asked curiously.

What Ningwei didn't expect was that this question made Lu Dongyi pause, and then obviously began to think.

"Actually, there are. When I was in high school, I really liked a girl, but I didn't understand it at that time. I just felt that I was very happy when I saw her..." Lu Dongyi replied sighingly.

Is it still in stock?

Hearing Lu Dongyi's answer, Ning Wei immediately regained his energy, and immediately asked, "I've never heard of it, Senior Brother Lu? So you had a girl you liked before? Then you didn't take the initiative to pursue her? "

Lu Dongyi replied honestly: "I really had that kind of thought. But then she asked me to explain a math problem to her, and she didn't seem to know how to explain it to her. I suddenly felt that she was so stupid, and then I found that I didn’t like it a little bit, and then the excitement gradually faded away.”

"No, Senior Brother Lu, haven't you ever thought that maybe your teaching method is wrong?"

"What's so difficult about those math problems in high school? As long as it's not an Olympiad problem, you don't need to use calculus. Basically, you can figure it out after just looking at it. What teaching methods do you need?"

Hearing this, Ning Wei felt very happy: "That's right, my family Chenshuang is different. I teach her linear algebra, and she knows everything. But when it comes to this, why don't I introduce you to her?" Girlfriend, IQ probably meets your standards, or is she a foreigner named Lucy Ron, a genius female Ph.D. from Harvard University, I have her WeChat, and I will push it to you later?"

"Stop messing around and look at my train of thought!"

"Senior Brother Lu, I am serious. I think you have never experienced love, which makes it difficult for us to have a common language in the future!"

Lu Dongyi stopped talking, and just stared at Ning Wei with very kind eyes...

"Okay, okay, I'll introduce you to each other next time I have a chance, I'll take a look at it first, and call you when I finish reading it." As a result, Ning Wei quickly ran back to the stack of manuscript paper that Senior Brother Lu handed over. own office.

It's almost enough to show off, and it can be regarded as an outburst in one breath. Next, it depends on whether the big guys on the opposite side are strong enough.

……

It is naturally not that simple to understand the proof ideas on more than ten manuscript papers.

Lu Dongyi didn't bother to talk about Ning Wei's mischief, and after watching Ning Wei leave, he began to follow the train of thought step by step and follow the lemmas that needed to be used next.The time of the day almost flew by. When the two of them had dinner together at noon and night, they simply discussed some arithmetic problems. The day passed by like this, and the National Day holiday was almost half past.

When he came to the research institute the next day, Lu Dongyi received a call from Tian Yanzhen before he had time to spread his thoughts.

"Have you read the latest electronic update of the Journal of the American Mathematical Society?"

"Have you not watched it yet? What's the matter, Director Tian?"

"You are with Ning Wei every day, and he has never mentioned a March professor to you?"

"Eh? There really isn't one." Hearing the name Sanyue, Lu Dongyi thought of Ningwei's electronic pet, but with a professor behind Sanyue, Lu Dongyi was completely confused.

"Then you should read that paper first." After finishing speaking, the other party hung up the phone.

Lu Dongyi turned on the computer, logged into the school library, and quickly found the latest papers published by the "Journal of the American Mathematical Society" through the index, and successfully found the paper that was ranked on the first edition.

After glancing at the title and the author of the paper, one authored in March, the corresponding author in March, and then the abstract of the paper, Lu Dongyi was completely speechless, and he really had the urge to vomit blood.

Isn't this what Ningwei has been researching before?What does it mean to publish in the name of March?Post a math paper and still use a pseudonym?

Well, Lu Dongyi did not go directly to Ning Wei, but now he read the paper completely on the computer, and after he was very sure that this paper was written by Ning Wei, he stood up and walked out of the office to the next door to read opened the door.

"Hey, Senior Brother Lu, you're here? What's the matter?"

"What about that paper in the Journal of the American Mathematical Society? What the hell is March?"

"Ah? Has it been published yet? I don't know yet, let me see!"

Speaking of that, Ning Wei turned on the computer, took a look, and then looked at Lu Dongyi with a serious face and said, "Senior brother Lu, this is my little secret, please don't tell others that March is my nickname." ah!"

"Don't tell me? Do you think others will not know?"

"If you don't tell, and others don't know our research progress, how can they know? I have designed a perfect identity for this pseudonym, and no one will doubt that this paper was published by me." Ning Wei said confidently .

This is indeed true.

Think about it, when Ning Wei was traveling in China, and when photos that proved his visit to the scenic spot were circulating on the Internet, San Yue was still tirelessly reviewing various papers, and kept giving these mathematics The editor of the journal reported that he was even communicating with the bigwigs who invited him to take office online.

So unless they accept Ning Wei's setting of clone technique, no one would really think that Ning Wei and San Yue are the same person to those foreign mathematics masters.This is why Ning Wei has been asking March to continue reviewing manuscripts.

It's just that Lu Dongyi didn't know that March had already passed the efficient review and left a deep impression on the editors of countless foreign journals, so he only felt that Ning Wei's behavior was a bit naive and funny.

"Are you treating everyone else as fools? How about we make a bet, even if I don't tell you, the whole world will know that this paper is your masterpiece within a few days at most." Lu Dongyi rolled his eyes at Ning Wei , said.

"Okay, let's bet that we must agree to the other party's request unconditionally, how about it?" Ning Wei nodded, agreeing happily.

"Where did you get your confidence?"

"Let's talk about whether to gamble or not! But there is one thing, you can't even tell Director Tian about this matter." Ning Wei said seriously.

"Don't worry! Even if I don't mention Director Tian, ​​I can guess it. Also, you wrote about Jiangcheng University, you are just kidding..."

Ning Wei smiled happily: "Haha, if I write about our Yanbei University, wouldn't it be too easy to be guessed! Well, Brother Lu, I won't talk about it for a few days, so let's gamble for a month, A month later, if the whole world hasn't connected me with March as you said, unless this little secret is revealed by myself, you must not tell it."

Lu Dongyi was a little puzzled. He looked at Ning Wei who couldn't figure out where this guy's confidence came from, but when he thought of the call Tian Dao just made, he could feel something was wrong, because Tian Dao didn't seem to think about it on the phone. Linking Ningwei to this paper...

However, Lu Dongyi nodded, since Ning Wei asked him to keep it a secret, then keep it a secret, but I don't know what kind of medicine Ning Wei sells in the gourd.

"Okay, listen to you, I'll wait and see."

"Well, this is my good senior brother. Hehe, it's really fun to tell you about this, so just watch it slowly. Remember, no one can tell this secret." Ning Wei said seriously.

"Understood, anyone who asks me, I will say I don't know! Forget it, I'll go first." Lu Dongyi replied, and then left Ningwei's office full of doubts. What kind of trouble is the junior brother going to do?

……

It was not only Lu Dongyi who was puzzled, but also a bunch of professors in the School of Mathematics of Jiangda University who were also puzzled.

Although Huaxia is celebrating the holidays, some people are still paying attention to these world-class journals, so when they saw the name of Jiang University appearing in the unit column of the top four journals of mathematics, almost all the professors were stunned and took a closer look. The author's name is even more confusing.

The name SanYue...

It seems that there is no such colleague!

However, after all, Jiang University of Mathematics has seen the big world, and there is no such person among the professors and lecturers. Could it be that there is another Ningwei-level genius in the school?

Really, many professors were excited at that moment, and their hands were trembling when they called up the college's student list!

Two math geniuses appearing in a row, this is the rhythm of Jiang University's explosion!

------------

214 There is no such person!

As brother Lu said, from the founding of the People's Republic of China to the present 70 years of history, the Chinese mathematics community has published less than 40 papers in the four top journals of mathematics. There have been many papers in the top comprehensive journals, such as the six papers by Ning Wei, and the School of Life Sciences, the School of Power Machinery, and the School of Materials have all published papers in these two top comprehensive journals.

However, in the four top journals of mathematics, the number of papers published by Jiangda University as a unit was still zero before that. In other words, this paper published online today in the Journal of the American Mathematical Society is an important achievement for Jiangda Mathematics Institute. A zero breakthrough, are you excited or not?Really, this should be a happy event that immediately hit the headlines on the official website of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. However, when it was time to find someone, something happened that shocked everyone. I searched the roster and couldn't find anyone...

Especially Dean Kong Mingde, who has answered several congratulatory calls. He himself found this paper in the list of journals ordered by the library system. The unit is actually written by Huaxia Jiangcheng University. He really didn't have much memory of the name, but he also had no memory of it when Ning Wei published a paper on "Nature".

With the first experience, the second time is naturally easier to accept.There are so many undergraduates, graduate students, and doctoral students in the college, and this person can always be found.

So there was no time to rest at this time. After getting the news, Lao Kong called his secretary and several office leaders to rush to the school, ready to find someone.

However, after waiting for half an hour, just when Kong Mingde had read the entire paper and felt impatient, the result of the secretary's final report was: "Dean Kong, we have gone through the roster three times. I really couldn't find the author who signed the paper, so is it possible that this Sanyue is not from our Academy of Mathematics?"

Really, after hearing this answer, Kong Mingde was a little confused at the time, there was no such person on the list of several courts?

"You didn't miss it, did you? Maybe the surname is polyphonic or something? That's why I didn't find it?" Kong Mingde asked, frowning.

This is the most annoying point in foreign journals. The name is displayed in pinyin, and there may be mistakes and omissions when searching directly.

"Dean Kong, we have checked all the names of the college, even the names of the first-year undergraduates we just recruited this year. We really can't find such a person!"

Strange things happen every year, especially this year.

Kong Mingde thought for a while and said, "Well, you can make a list of everyone in the college and I'll look for it. In addition, call all the professors and counselors in the college and ask them to ask the students in charge. , quickly find him."

If Kong Mingde was not in a hurry, there was such a great event in the college that deserves to be publicized, but no one could be found, and this news article couldn't be written!Who is changed, who is not annoying?

However, an hour later, when Kong Mingde was dizzy and carefully proofread one by one, and looked through the list, he still couldn't find anyone whose name matched the pinyin in the journal. At this time, the secretary came to report again.

"Principal Kong, I've asked all of them, no! I also specifically told the counselors of each class to make detailed statistics, but I still haven't found anyone." The secretary also looked bitter.

When the two were staring at each other, Kong Mingde's phone rang again, and it was the principal who called specially.

As soon as the phone was connected, a cheerful voice came from the opposite side.

"Hey, congratulations, old Kong. Your Mathematics Institute has exploded in the past two years. I just heard that someone has published a paper in a top journal of mathematics! You have to give credit to you, you have to credit it, haha! By the way, it's so good Why didn't you call to report the matter? This is not like your style!"

Hearing this, Kong Mingde only felt that his mood was more complicated, and he replied with a sour mood: "No, that Principal Yan, I came to the office three hours ago, but we couldn't find the person who published the paper." , I was about to tell you that this paper was probably issued by a professor or student from another brother college, why don’t you ask the computer?”

"Ah? Not from your Mathematics Academy? No, why do other academies publish top mathematics journals? Are you sure you didn't miss it?" Principal Yan's tone on the opposite side was even more perplexing than Kong Mingde.

"Ahem, it's like this. I just studied this paper. It uses the isomorphism method to construct a mathematical model, and allows the computer to simulate human-like consciousness through this model. This is indeed a mathematical paper. But at the same time, it is also inseparable from the computer. It can be said to be the foundation of artificial intelligence. It is a little bit related to the project that Ning Wei applied for... Wait, Ning Wei? The dean will contact you first and ask them to find someone?"

Kong Mingde suddenly felt enlightened.

"Is that so? That's fine, I'll call Lao Xu right now, and you'll look for it over there. And you mentioned Ning Wei just now, so this paper won't have anything to do with Ning Wei, right?"

"I don't know yet, I'll call him and ask. I'll look for it first at the School of Planning and Science."

"it is good!"

……

After hanging up the phone, Kong Mingde hurriedly called Ning Wei directly.

"Hi, Ning Wei, I'm Kong Mingde, today the Journal of the American Mathematical Society published the paper signed by San Yue online, do you know what's going on?"

"Hello, Dean Kong. Brother Lu just informed me of the good news. Congratulations, Dean Kong. It's really gratifying for our professors from the School of Mathematics of Jiangnan University to publish a top mathematics journal."

Hearing Ning Wei's words, Kong Mingde was stunned again, and hurriedly asked, "Do you know this professor who published the paper?"

"Ah? Of course. At that time, many journal editors invited me to review manuscripts. I introduced Professor March to them. After all, Professor March has a solid foundation in mathematical theory and gave me a lot of advice. Although we The directions of research overlap, but I really appreciate Professor March."

Kong Mingde seemed to be in a fog, and said hastily: "But there is no professor named Sanyue in our School of Mathematics? You should recognize all the professors in our School of Mathematics, right? Is it a professor who taught you?"

"Ah? No? No, I didn't recognize all the professors in the School of Mathematical Sciences. I haven't met Professor Sanyue. I have a relationship with her or she sent me a few emails when I was in the STOC meeting. Then we got to know each other after going back and forth. I didn’t have much contact after that, isn’t she really a professor of mathematics? No way? Then I see that the signature on the paper is Jiangcheng University!”

Listening to the serious nonsense on the other side, Kong Mingde was completely confused, and asked subconsciously: "So this paper really has nothing to do with you?"

"Look at what you said, if you have something to do with me, you must sign my name! Speaking of which, I haven't had the chance to publish a paper in the legendary world's four top mathematics journals. My brother Lu is always Put this matter in front of me in Versailles, he has already posted three articles, will I not admit that it is my achievement?"

This remark is in line with human nature, and Kong Mingde felt that it was indeed the truth, so he said with a wry smile: "That's really embarrassing, this professor Sanyue is really not a professor in our School of Mathematics, maybe it is a professor from the School of Science and Technology Well, but this surname is so special, if there is such a high-level professor in the Academy of Engineering, I should not be completely unimpressed. Hey..."

Kong Mingde heaved a long sigh as he spoke, his mood was naturally extremely complicated. The first paper in the history of Jiang University's top four mathematics journals had nothing to do with the Mathematics Academy...

When the school made a big publicity, he felt that he would not be able to hold his head up.

"Ah? Sanyue is not a professor of the School of Mathematics. This... that, Dean Kong, Brother Lu happened to have something to do with me here, so I'll hang up first."

"Okay, you are busy! Remember to visit your alma mater if you have a chance."

"Sure, sure, Dean Kong goodbye."

……

After hanging up the phone, Kong Mingde was even more confused, but after thinking about it, he called Principal Yan and explained the situation.

"Hey, President Yan, I just talked to Ning Wei. I heard what he meant. The professor Sanyue who published the paper had contacted him by email, but the two of them had never met. He also thought it was a professor from our college. .But if this person is a professor of the college, then he is definitely not from our college. Let other colleges look into it.”

"That's it, okay, old Kong, don't be under psychological pressure. I just asked the Academy of Planning and Design to investigate. I will let you know if there is any good news."

"Row!"

……

However, the results were soon reported back, and the enthusiasm of the School of Science and Technology was quickly mobilized, but there was still no news of Professor March after the investigation from the beginning to the end.Even several major laboratories that have enlarged the scope including those related to computers have begun to self-inspect, but the results are obvious.

After being authorized, the professors of the Academy of Sciences directly entered the database, and began screening the list of teachers and students of the whole school through the school's server, but there was still no result.

This time it was Principal Yan's turn to be confused. This is such a good thing, why can't anyone be found?Well, fearing that the machine would be inaccurate, the scope of manual search was expanded again. Almost all science majors began to search for the March professor, so the beautiful National Day holiday on October 10 shocked almost all the deans and professors in the school. Even the counselor was not spared, but there was still no such person.

The effect was perfect, the whole school was going crazy looking for this person, but no matter how hard they searched, they couldn't find him.

The senior management of the school can almost be sure that there is no one named Jiang University by this name, whether it is a professor or a student.When it comes to the student level, because of the school's extensive search, almost everyone knows that someone from Jiangda has published a paper in a top mathematics magazine, helping the school achieve a zero breakthrough. After all, many students who returned home from vacation received calls from their counselors, so The school BBS and the library system became lively again. After watching the paper, almost everyone turned into a detective and began to guess who actually published this amazing paper...

Specific to the academic world, many people envy, envy and hate, while waiting for the good news on the Jiangda website.After all, being able to publish papers in the top four major mathematics journals and put them in any school is something worthy of special mention, even Yanbei University's NO.1 mathematics school is no exception, let alone Jiangda University.

But a strange thing happened. The paper by the big guy in March was published online in the Journal of the American Mathematical Society for a whole day, and Jiang University did not respond at all, let alone good news, and there was no press release on the website. It is actually very abnormal to post an article. After all, some popular science public accounts have already responded. There is already news on the Internet that Professor Jiang University has published a paper on the first edition of the four top journals in mathematics, but Jiang University has not responded at all.

So probably no one goes to work on National Day?Or maybe Jiang University is so low-key, thinking that a paper is not worth making the official website administrator give up his vacation and issue a draft?

Of course, no one knew that the entire senior management of Jiang University was in a state of confusion at this time, and they were vaguely coping with all kinds of congratulations and insinuating phone calls.

I wanted to post the good news. After all, it was an opportunity to publicize the school's face, but I didn't even know who posted the paper. I posted it directly on the Internet. In the end, I found out that it was a mistake. How much shame should this be?
