009 Willful Academicians (Part 1)

After hanging up Higginson's phone, Fan Zhenhua had no intention of reading the report that his doctoral student spent a week preparing. Although he knew that his student was indeed working hard, in order to write this summary, he read nearly

Almost all mathematics journals in three years.

There was no way, at this time all his mind and curiosity had been attracted by the paper Higginson was talking about.

In fact, reading papers is a kind of pain for 99% of people in the world. It has nothing to do with IQ or industry. It even affects many doctoral students and even scientific researchers who have to deal with papers every day.

In terms of personnel, the same is true.

Especially for many struggling graduate students, they have to search in databases and find peer papers before applying for new projects. This is definitely a chore. The quality of the papers varies, and valuable information must be analyzed from them.

, to make your own application report look more beautiful, at least not to come up with a brand-new project that you want to apply for, which is the one-stop patent of other domestic counterparts.

This job can definitely make people go bald.

But for those scientific research leaders who are really on the front line of scientific research subdivisions and at the top of the food chain, it is a pleasure to read papers of high quality that are highly recommended by their peers. Especially papers that solve a global problem, then

Absolutely the biggest thing in life, bar none.

The most important characteristic of a true theoretical scientist is to always maintain a pure and strong curiosity about the world. Without this characteristic, it is actually difficult to continue on the boring road of scientific research.

After all, there are too many temptations from the outside world in this world. The pursuit of science can only be supported by curiosity.

Fortunately, Fan Zhenhua received a reply soon, and then he couldn't wait to open the paper and immersed himself in it. After scanning the title, he focused on the review.

"Sure enough, the level is very high!" This was Fan Zhenhua's judgment after reading the review. Then he did not read the text first as Higginson suggested, but directly started reading the author's introduction. Then the whole person was just like Higginson said.

That's not good...

Then for a moment, he also wanted to think about the authenticity of this world!

His occupation is actually a student?! His employer is Ningjiacun Agricultural Machinery Factory?!

What kind of wonderful combination is this? What makes him feel even more crazy is that the corresponding author and first author of this paper are only Ningjie.

In other words, this paper was independently completed by students from a certain Chinese rural agricultural machinery factory?

He probably understood the meaning of Higginson's words. No wonder he was asked to confirm whether the paper was actually completed by the author independently. He also understood why after inviting himself to be a reviewer, the editor-in-chief of "Annals of Mathematics" invited Lu Zhengyue.

.

Is this because I don’t trust him? I’m afraid that he will take the results as his own, so I specially found two reviewers in China to supervise each other?

Well, this is what it should be.

Really, the moment he saw the author's introduction, Fan Zhenhua was really excited.

Although he hasn't read the text yet, if, as Higginson said, this paper solved the Navier-Stokes equation problem and reached a consensus in the academic community, the World Congress of Mathematicians to be held in Brazil next year will definitely be

We need to send out more invitation letters, and maybe even directly invite the author to give a report, and it will be a top report at the opening ceremony!

If the academic community reaches a consensus quickly enough, next year’s Fields Medal may be awarded directly to the author of this paper!

If this paper was completed independently by one of his students, he would really dare to argue and make an exception for his student to apply for a mathematics academician of the Academy of Sciences. He could even guarantee that the next academician selection would definitely pass.

But who are the students at the agricultural machinery factory?!

Yes, there were a lot of bad trends in the academic world before China, such as primary school students doing scientific research and SCI, and middle school students doing homework on cancer. But the results of those so-called papers and innovations are actually not dazzling, and they are nothing more than ordinary academic parents giving their children

Brush up your resume. But Fan Zhenhua can’t figure it out even in his head. Which academic master is so stupid that he would use such world-class achievements that are eligible for the Fields Medal to brush up his children’s resume?

Not to mention, which Chinese mathematics master would stay in a small county without a university or research institute?

There is no wind in the office, but Fan Zhenhua's brain is still messy.

There were so many weird things about it that he couldn't wrap his head around it at all.

Fortunately, with Higginson's previous spoilers, Fan Zhenhua did not remain stunned for long, and began to study the main text. Then, like Robert Cairney, editor-in-chief of the "Annals of Mathematics" who first read the paper, he fell into it.

Until I carefully read the preparatory knowledge points of the paper and the first complete theorem proof process in the paper. I got a preliminary understanding that the author approximated the solution obtained by the th element iteration method to the discrete solution of the sv mixed finite element through multiple iterations, thus

This idea is to obtain discrete velocity solutions with divergence tending to zero and continuous discrete pressure solutions.

And when he subconsciously raised his head and wanted to continue thinking about this method, he found that there was a slight light outside the window.

He glanced at his phone and it was already 5:28 in the morning. But he didn't feel sleepy at all, and his mind was still filled with the intricate mathematical formulas in the paper. The question swirling in his mind was, can it still be like this?

Very interesting!

Some not-so-good information suddenly popped into my mind.

Wait, Higginson seemed to have said when he called that Lu Zhengyue was also invited to be a reviewer?

With that annoying face in his mind, Fan Zhenhua immediately opened the drawer and started rummaging through it. Soon he found an internal phone book from Yanbei University. Then he picked up his cell phone and looked at the information in the phone book.

, regardless of whether this time would disturb people's dreams, they just dialed it out.

If it doesn't work the first time, I'll try it a second time...

Until someone finally answered...

"Hey, is this Teacher Xu from the admissions team of Nanhu Province?"

"Ah, I am, who are you?" Although the honorific was used, the tone was actually not polite. After all, being suddenly woken up from a sweet dream is definitely not a good experience.

"I am Fan Zhenhua from the School of Mathematics. I would like to ask you. Do you know that there is Ningjia Village in Luoyu County, Dongyu City in Nanhu Province?"

"Oh, it's Academician Fan. Hello, hello. I have an impression of Dongyu City, but I don't know much about the county seat below. I have to ask."

"That's it. Then help me quickly and ask. I'll book a high-speed rail ticket to go to Star City later. Why don't we meet at the Star City high-speed rail station? Could you please help me find out how to get from Star City to Luoyu County in a convenient way?"

"Of course, no problem. How about you add my WeChat account, which is this mobile phone number? After you book the tickets, send me your arrival time and ID number, and I will arrange the next journey?"

"Okay, I'd like to trouble you, Comrade Xu."

"No trouble, no trouble."

"By the way, have you ever heard of a student named Ning Zi?"

"Huh? No impression."

Hearing this answer, Fan Zhenhua was not surprised. After all, the head of the admissions team of a county or province would definitely not go to a small county with no reputation.

"Okay, hang up now, I will contact you later."
Chapter completed!
