The End of Technology

Ning Zi felt how comfortable it was to have a good mentor.

Although Mr. March has a bit of a venomous mouth and always talks about "you stupid human being", no matter in the dream or when guiding him at this moment, he has shown one thousand percent patience.

In other words, this kitten probably has infinite patience.

How to register your own account, how to fill in complicated forms, how to choose the type of paper, how to write the title, abstract, and keywords, and why you should write them like this, how to design a cover letter so that journal editors and reviewers can see it It intrigues the entire paper at first glance…

In the meantime, I also took the trouble to answer various other questions.

for example:

"When I was in Huaqing, I heard my classmates chatting. If you want a paper to be published in a good journal, it must be recommended by a powerful tutor or a reliable unit. Otherwise, the journal editor may just throw the paper into the trash can without even reading it. . I wrote about a closed agricultural machinery factory in my workplace, and the corresponding author still left his name. Will people really read my paper?"

"Meow, who do you look down on? Is there a better mentor than me in this world? Let me tell you, no matter which journal you submit to, if the editor dares to delete the paper without even reading it, he will be done with it. ! Human beings cannot and should not be so stupid."

Lord March's answer was very impressive and very intimidating, at least for Ning Zi.

Of course, a good mentor is reflected in the fact that when signing the paper, whether he was the corresponding author or the first author, March forced Ning Zi to shamelessly write his own name.

Really, Ning Zi feels that there can’t be another mentor like this in the world!

"Meow, I'm not a stupid human being. Do I need that little false reputation? It's no exaggeration to say that any hair on my body is more valuable than this paper. Oh, Mama Kaba!"

Such conversations often make people confused. Just like at this moment, Ning Zi couldn't help but ask: "Mama Kaba, what does it mean?"

"Meow, it has no fixed meaning, it is just a very common modal particle. You can understand it as Smecta in Korean, or Axiba, Ollie! It probably represents my excitement at this time, and stupid humans simply can't Understand how much fun it is for a cute, kind-hearted but responsible little cat to create a master for its cat! Meow..."

"Well, Lord March, the master you are talking about is...?"

"Meow... don't worry about these details. After all, the reason why the master can become the master is of course because he is not a stupid human being, but that is a long story, and you haven't reached the time to understand it yet. Click send now, congratulations You have finally taken the first step towards becoming a trouble-making scholar!"

A university scholar causing trouble?

Ning Zi scratched his head. This title was a bit strange, but obviously this was not the time to care about it. But after reading this sentence from Mao Mao, he still moved the mouse with a pious look and clicked the submit button.

Then he watched the background status of the paper he submitted change directly.

"manuscript with editor"

Is this delivery successful?

"Then what?"

"Meow, calculate the time difference. Those stupid editors-in-chief and editors where the journal is located are still enjoying their dinner. Don't expect those lazy people to turn on the computer to deal with work matters during this time. As for you, what's next The task is of course to continue studying. You haven’t fully understood this paper yet. Don’t just think about studying during sleep time. Time during the day is also important. I have prepared a series of intensive training exercises for you, about turbulence!”

"Meow, so go ahead and do the questions now! You don't want to be like those professors who are a little smarter, have lived much longer than you, and especially like to test people. When they ask you questions, you behave like a normal person. Don’t you know what you are asking? So, quickly start using your brain. The prerequisite for being able to do things is that your own strength makes you fearless. From now on, you have to work harder and not waste any second. Do you understand? "

Ning Zi nodded fiercely.

So nice, that happens to be what he does best.

Solving questions to consolidate, strengthen and flexibly apply the systematic knowledge in his mind is the most important way for him to learn. The educational conditions in Luoyu County were so great that without the guidance of famous teachers, they could only rely on this.

So the next moment, Ning Zi clicked on the file sent by Mao Mao via QQ without any complaints...

Sure enough, there are a lot of questions, and each question is so complicated...

Ning Zi suddenly felt a little dizzy.

…

Princeton, New Jersey, USA.

This city on the east coast of the United States is world-famous for its namesake university.

As one of the world's most famous private research universities, Princeton's School of Advanced Mathematics is its most advantageous major. Some people even use the term "hometown of mathematicians" to express their respect for this school.

Of course, Princeton University does deserve these many praises.

In its more than two hundred years of history, it has cultivated 69 Nobel Prize winners, 15 Fields Medal winners, and 14 Turing Award winners. This probably also means that if you want a school to achieve good results, it must first be open long enough.

Without time to settle, it is naturally impossible to cultivate so many talents.

Ning Zhizhi, who was still writing questions in the dark, saw that the website address of the submission system given to him by Mr. March was "Annals of Mathematics", but he really didn't know what this journal represented.

For example, the journal was founded in 1874 and is currently the oldest mathematics journal in the world; for example, this journal is jointly published by Princeton University and its Institute for Advanced Mathematics, ranking first among the four top mathematics journals in the world; for example, lecturers at ordinary universities If you can publish a paper in this journal, you can basically save several years of detours and directly become a professor...

If you do it well, you can even directly get a lot of projects and get a lot of names, such as Yangtze River Scholars, Young Scientists, National Distinguished Young Scholars...

Yes, this is the charm of "Annals of Mathematics".

This mathematics journal is published every two months and generally contains no more than a hundred papers each year. The number of papers published by Chinese mathematicians in this journal can be counted on both hands.

Not to mention a student, even professors and doctoral supervisors from many countries want to publish their articles in this journal, it is not an easy task.

As Ning Zi said before, under normal circumstances, the moment his paper was seen by the editor, it was destined to be dragged directly into the computer's recycle bin, and then emptied directly at a certain moment.

In fact, as the editor-in-chief of "Annals of Mathematics", Robert Cairney does exactly this.

Are you kidding me? !

A guy from an unknown agricultural machinery factory in China solved the existence and smoothness problems of the solutions to the Navier-Stokes equation? Then he might be able to directly solve the NP-complete problem single-handedly!

How could this paper appear directly in his system? Don’t editors have to work anymore?

Even at the moment of operation, the editor-in-chief was still muttering: "Oh, it really has to be a country that can invent perpetual motion machines every day. How can civil scientists in other places translate the NS equation?" ?!”
