Chapter Nine: The Willful Academicians (Part One)

Of course, no problem. Why don't you add me on WeChat? This is the phone number. After you book the ticket, please send me your arrival time and ID number, and I will arrange the subsequent journey

If it does not go through once, I will try again...

Suddenly, some unpleasant information surged into my mind

There are too many strange aspects to this matter, leaving his mind completely unable to comprehend it

Ah? I have no impression of that

Fortunately, Fan Zhenhua soon received a reply, and he eagerly immersed himself in opening the paper. After scanning the title, he became fully engrossed in the review.

If the academic community reaches a consensus quickly enough, it is possible that next year's Fields Medal could be directly awarded to this paper's author

There is no wind in the office, yet Fan Zhenhua's mind remains in disarray

He roughly understood the meaning behind Higginson's words, no wonder he was asked to confirm whether the paper was truly completed independently by the author, and he further understood why, after inviting him to be a reviewer, the editor of the Journal of Mathematics also invited Lu Zhengyue

Especially for many struggling graduate students, searching for and finding relevant papers in databases before applying for new projects is undoubtedly a thankless task. Not only is the quality of the papers highly variable, but one must also extract valuable information from them to make their own application report appear more impressive. At the very least, one must avoid proposing a completely new project that has already been patented by domestic peers in a comprehensive manner.

At the very least, one must avoid proposing a completely new project that has already been patented by domestic peers in a comprehensive manner.

After hanging up the phone with Higginson, Fan Zhenhua had already lost the motivation to review the report he had spent a week preparing for his doctor's degree. Although he knew that his students had indeed worked hard, having reviewed nearly all mathematics journals from the past three years to write this summary during the week.

Upon hearing this response, Fan Zhenhua was not surprised, as the head of the admissions team from a province's county would certainly not make a special trip to a small county with little renown.

Until finally someone answered the call

In fact, reading papers is a source of pain for ninety-nine percent of people in this world. It is unrelated to intelligence, unrelated to the industry, and even for many graduate students and researchers who deal with papers on a daily basis, it is the same.

Although he has not yet read the main text, if it is indeed as Higginson stated, that this paper resolves the Navier-Stokes equation problem and reaches a consensus in the academic community, the World Congress of Mathematicians to be held in Brazil next year will certainly issue more invitation letters, and it is possible that the author will be directly invited to give a presentation, and it may even be a keynote address at the opening ceremony

This job can definitely drive a person to baldness

What a marvelous combination this is? What makes it even more astonishing for him is that both the corresponding author and the first author of this paper are solely NingJie.

Wait, it seems that when Higginson called, he mentioned that Lu Zhengyue was also invited to be a reviewer

Indeed, there have been quite a few undesirable trends in academia in China, such as elementary school students conducting research to publish in SCI journals and middle school students suffering from academic pressure. However, those so-called papers and innovations are mostly unremarkable, merely a way for certain academic parents to enhance their children's resumes. Yet, Fan Zhenhua cannot fathom which academic heavyweight would be foolish enough to use such world-class achievements, worthy of the Fields Medal, merely to embellish their child's resume.

Is the profession really a student? Yet the workplace is Ningjia Village Agricultural Machinery Factory

At this moment, all his attention and curiosity had been captivated by the paper mentioned by Higginson

Fortunately, before the spoilers from Higginson, Fan Zhenhua did not remain dazed for long and instead began to study the main text. He then became engrossed, much like Robert Kahn, the editor of the Journal of Mathematics, when he first read the paper.

Oh, it is Academician Fan. Hello, hello. I have some impression of Dongyu City, but I am not very familiar with the counties below. I need to ask about that.

Indeed, the level is very high! This was the judgment made by Fan Zhenhua after reading the overview. Subsequently, he did not follow Higginson's suggestion to read the main text first, but instead directly began to look at the author's biography. ... As a result, he indeed felt, just as Higginson had said, not very well ...

I see, then please help me inquire quickly. I will book a high-speed train ticket to Star City shortly. How about we meet at the Star City high-speed train station? Could you please check the most convenient way to get from Star City to Luoyun County?

If this paper was independently completed by one of his students, he would indeed dare to argue vigorously and apply for an exceptional admission for his student to the Academy of Sciences as an academician of the Mathematics Department. He could even guarantee that the next selection of academicians would definitely pass.

Ah, I am, may I ask who you are? Although honorifics were used, the tone was not particularly polite, as being suddenly awakened from a beautiful dream is certainly not a pleasant experience

Not at all, not at all

Alright, I will hang up for now, and I will contact you later

Let alone which prominent mathematician from Huaxia would stay in a small county that lacks both a university and a research institute

I am Fan Zhenhua from the School of Mathematics. I would like to inquire if you are aware of Dongyu City in Nanhuh Province and Ningjia Village in Luoy County

Very interesting

As he instinctively raised his head, intending to continue contemplating this method, he discovered that a faint light had already begun to appear outside the window

A glance at his phone revealed that it was already 5:28 in the morning. Yet, he felt no trace of drowsiness; his mind was still filled with the intricate mathematical formulas from his paper. The question swirling in his mind was, how could it still be like this?

By the way, have you heard of a student named Ning Jie?

A true theoretical scientist's most important characteristic is to maintain a pure and intense curiosity about the world. Without this trait, it is indeed difficult to persist on the tedious path of scientific research

Until I carefully reviewed the preliminary knowledge points of the paper and the proof process of the first complete theorem within the paper. I gained a preliminary understanding that the author approaches the solution derived from the TH element iterative method to the discrete solution of the SV mixed finite element through multiple iterations, thereby obtaining the discrete velocity solution with divergence tending to zero and the continuous discrete pressure solution.

In other words, this paper was independently completed by a student from a certain agricultural machinery factory in a Huaxia village

Well, this is also to be expected

Indeed, at the moment he saw the author's biography, Fan Zhenhua was truly captivated.

The annoying face flashed through Fan Zhenhua's mind, prompting him to immediately open the drawer and start searching. Soon, he found an internal telephone directory of Yanbei University. He then picked up his phone and, without considering whether it would disturb someone's peaceful sleep at this hour, dialed the number directly.

Thank you for your trouble, Comrade Xiao Xu

Hello, is this Teacher Xu from the Admissions Office of Nanhu Province?

Then there truly came a moment when he also wanted to contemplate the issue of the world's reality

But what on earth are the students of the agricultural machinery factory?

However, for those who are truly at the forefront of specialized research fields, the esteemed leaders in the scientific community, reading those highly recommended and quality papers from peers is indeed a pleasure. Especially when it comes to papers that address a global challenge, it is undoubtedly one of the greatest achievements in life, if not the greatest.

Alright, I will await your message

After all, there are too many external temptations in this world. The pursuit of science can only be sustained by curiosity.

This is a lack of trust in him! There is a fear that he might claim the results as his own, which is why two reviewers were specifically sought in China to supervise each other
