Kong Linyan didn’t expect Xiong Haiwen to be here, but her expression remained unchanged, and she joked calmly and generously: “It’s true that ‘Mo Daojun leaves early, and there are even more early travelers’!”

On the contrary, Xiong Haiwen felt as embarrassed as if his wife had been caught having sex, and hesitantly said: "You can come, why can't I come?"

There is a lot of Ah Q's bachelor attitude: "The monk can move, but I can't?"

Xu Shengzhou set up a seven-star stove and entertained sixteen parties. He immediately let Kong Linyan into the study room: "I thought this room could only raise turtles, but unexpectedly two big turtles came in. They were really born.

Hui! What do you two want to drink? I only have mineral water and hot water here."

Kong Linyan took a look at the layout of the room and found that there was only a table, a chair and a whiteboard. It was not a place for chatting at all, and there was not much politeness: "It's so late and it's a boys' dormitory. It's inconvenient to disturb me, so I'll keep it short. Xiong

Teacher, can I have a chat with Teacher Xu alone?"

"..."

Xiong Haiwen didn't expect Kong Linyan to hit a straight ball, catching him off guard.

Kong Linyan has obviously taken the initiative in the conversation: "What, Teacher Xiong is going to have a three-party meeting? Then we must allow Teacher Xu and I to have full and effective communication before the meeting, right?"

Xiong Haiwen was so angry that his eyebrows jumped, but he controlled his anger: "I'm sorry, I won't affect your in-depth communication! Teacher Xu, please consider my invitation." After saying that, he walked out of the study room. But

I could see through it, but I couldn't bear it. When I went out, I couldn't help but cursed:

"Academic Daji!"

Kong Linyan opened the door and said, "Teacher Xu, I guess Teacher Xiong has told you the whole story before, so I won't go into details. To make a long story short, I am also planning to apply for the school-level young teacher fund project and would like to invite you to join the project team."

Xu Shengzhou asked curiously: "What topic are you planning to apply for?"

This is not a secret. What's more, when you invite people to join, you must treat them with sincerity. Kong Linyan replied: "I think of Faber's Gorenstein conjecture, that is, the universal ring satisfies the Poincaré duality. This is an unsolved problem in Farber's conjecture.

part."

All that is left are hard bones.

Xu Shengzhou praised: "You have courage!"

Kong Linyan was very honest: "In fact, there is also an element of opportunism, because before this, Farber has verified that the genus does not exceed 23. Next, there are two challenges when it comes to high genus. On the one hand, we must find enough

Everything is related, and on the other hand, it is necessary to calculate the expected Gorenstein dimension, so there is a lot of work that can be done, and it can be big or small, it just depends on the researcher's ability and luck."

Xu Shengzhou nodded: "As far as I know, the general view in the academic community is that Farber's Gorenstein conjecture is probably not true. It is relatively easy to falsify it, and satisfactory results may be achieved."

After all, if you want to prove that there are no mosquitoes in the house, you only need to catch one.

And if you want to confirm it, you have to search every corner of the room.

Kong Linyan smiled lightly: "Then are you interested in forming a group to kill this monster?"

Xu Shengzhou hesitated slightly.

Now his battle line is a bit too long. Solving the Hodge conjecture is naturally the first priority, and the theory of space traversal is even more top priority. It is the top of the mountain that must be guaranteed to be won. One "Four" article agreed with Heng Ping

If you want to ensure acceptance by a major or top journal by the end of May, you have to write it quickly, right? Those statistical physics papers that I promised Mr. Hu Yuanke before, he has been so busy and helpful, so he can’t break his promise, right? There are also Ph.D.

Dissertation, Heng Ping’s National Natural Science Foundation Youth Project...

After Xu Shengzhou finished counting, his scalp felt numb.

Kong Linyan still looked calm: "If it doesn't work, that's okay. But can you please not join Teacher Xiong's research group, so that we can't help each other?"

Xu Shengzhou was defeated by Kong Linyan's manipulation.

I thought she would come up with a beauty trap for him, but I didn’t expect that she would directly give Xiong Haiwen a trick to drain his salary.

Kong Linyan swept the hair from her forehead in a sassy manner: "I have always had a clear positioning of myself. I am just an ordinary, hard-working mortal with a slight talent for mathematics. I may become a mediocre mathematician.

Filling in the gaps and doing detailed work, but it is impossible to solve some big problems independently before the apple hits the head. And I also believe that most of the teachers in our college are also at this level, but some are slightly higher.

, the difference between someone being slightly lower."

Xu Shengzhou said: "In the long run, every mathematical researcher is the carrier of mathematics in the long river of time."

Kong Linyan nodded and shook his head: "Although they are all carriers, carriers are different from each other, just like the difference between you and us. You can publish the 'Big Four' when you are in college, but we

You may not be able to publish a few top journal articles throughout your life, and you can only try your best to publish some second and third area papers to cope with the school's assessment and meet the needs of professional title evaluation."

Xu Shengzhou said in his heart: There is no difference between us, the difference is only because of the system.

But this cannot be said.

Kong Linyan continued: "Teacher Xiong and I entered the school in the same batch, which means that we are on the same starting line and the competition is on the same track, starting from the current school-level youth education project, to the future transition to permanent employment, national

Even if we don't compete, others will judge us together. If it's just a competition between two people, and everyone relies on their own abilities and fate, I won't have anything to say even if I lose.

It can be said that Mr. Xiong wants to pull you out of the game, just like a professional player suddenly breaks into a primary school game. This is obviously unfair."

Xu Shengzhou scratched his head slightly: "It's not as exaggerated as you said."

Kong Linyan said: "That's the fact. If I didn't see Teacher Xiong here when I came today, I would only ask you to help me. But Teacher Xiong came before me, so I can only invite you to join my project.

.If you refuse, I will ask you to help each other to ensure the fairness of the competition. Teacher Xu, is my request reasonable?"

For a few seconds, Xu Shengzhou wanted to give her a few thumbs up for her sincerity and kindness.

Until he remembered Mr. Cheng who had devoted all his efforts to the development of the college. He thought of his own school.

He said calmly: "Your request is reasonable, but it is not in line with the development plan of the college. You only considered fair competition with Teacher Xiong, or low-level competition within the college, but did not consider that academics are the best in the world."

Gongqi. I have been in school for five or six years, and in the Institute of Mathematics and Mathematics for one or two years. I have a deeper relationship with them. I have also dealt with Academician Cheng and Dean Zhang for a longer period of time. I fully understand why they are rushing to establish our institution.

Algebraic Geometry Teaching and Research Section."

Kong Linyan looked at Xu Shengzhou but said nothing.

Xu Shengzhou said: "I know many people say privately that the college established this teaching and research office for a certain person. Well, 'someone' most likely refers to me. But in the final analysis, it is Beijing Normal University, which is a strong mathematics school in the country.

, because the traditional dominant subjects such as harmonic analysis and probability theory have declined sharply in recent years, and the decline is obvious, we have to find another way out. It happened that Teacher Hengping and I made some achievements in the direction of algebraic geometry, and they felt like a treasure, like protecting them in the cold winter.

Just like a small flame, I hope it can carry forward and then turn the tide before it falls, and support the building before it collapses!"

Kong Linyan has never seen Xu Shengzhou so serious.

Xu Shengzhou continued: "Mr. Kong, you have been abroad, and you must know that our domestic algebraic geometry research is already lagging behind. As for the algebraic geometry research in our school, it has just started——"

Kong Linyan finally seized the opportunity to speak: "But with you in our school, you will be one of the 'Big Four' as soon as you hit, and you will be at the top when you hit, and you are already coming from behind!"

Xu Shengzhou was noncommittal about this: "As latecomers, we need to compete for a place in the country and make our voice heard internationally. It is obviously not enough to rely solely on one person or a few papers. Therefore, we must compete at a high level.

We also need a high level of collaboration. To achieve this goal, we might as well take a bigger step and set a higher standard, for example, strive for each person to publish 1-2 top issues next year?"

Kong Linyan couldn't laugh or cry: "Teacher Xu, you are indeed worthy of being the principal. You are good at painting and PUA. But you can't use your standards to ask us, 1-2 top articles per person? When I was studying for a Ph.D.

Not so hard!"

Xu Shengzhou didn't speak, he just tapped his chest with his finger.

Kong Linyan rolled her eyes coquettishly: "I know that you have written at least one 'Four Big' articles every year since your senior year, and you also wrote an English monograph when you were studying for a PhD. But I said that you are the well-known Xu Shen,

You can’t hold us to your standards!”

"...You misunderstood! What I mean is that I will join your project team." Xu Shengzhou felt very upset, "Of course, I will be busy in the first half of next year and will not have much energy to spend on your project team. Mainly

You still have to rely on yourselves. If you really have any questions, we can communicate at any time. Anyway, the funding period is very long. When I am free in the second half of the year, I will invest more time and energy."

Kong Linyan stretched out her hand with a smile: "Welcome to join!"

In fact, she began to scream crazily in her heart: Si Da, I'm coming!!

PUA master Xu Shengzhou looked at the more than 300,000 points in her account and immediately broke her wishful thinking: "You guys have to work hard! If you don't make any progress when I join in the second half of the year, what will I do if I accidentally solve it independently?"

Questions, I won’t bring them with you when I publish my paper!”

Kong Linyan was a little panicked: "Xu Shen, are you planning to spend a month on our three-year project and end it with a paper?"
Chapter completed!
