Chen Mingkai's narration gradually progressed to the last part, and the last part is the part that combines the Hodge conjecture and the Poincaré conjecture.
The content of this part even amazed the other professors present. The final result of this part was completely a sublimation of the entire paper, which raised the grade of the entire paper.
Without this part of the content, this paper can be regarded as an extremely excellent graduation thesis, but now with this part of the content, it is a graduation thesis that exceeds the scope of the graduation thesis.
"No wonder Academician Lin has so much confidence in his students. This paper is really amazing!"
Yuan Ya praised.
Lin Xiao smiled and said: "The main reason is that Chen Mingkai is talented and attentive to academics, so he was able to complete this paper. We, as tutors, are just responsible for pointing out the direction."
"That's right." Several academicians nodded one after another. When they were students, they were often confused about what they wanted to study. At this time, the instructor had to point out the direction. As for the next thing, the students needed to do their own research.
Zhao Xin, who was next to him, heard Lin Xiao's words and said meaningfully: "However, this pointing out the direction cannot completely point out all the directions. Otherwise, it would still be equivalent to catching the fish and giving it to the students.
, instead of teaching students how to fish.”
Lin Xiao and the others were stunned for a moment, then they all just smiled and nodded without saying anything more, but most of them felt that Professor Zhao didn't seem to have any good intentions.
At this time, Chen Mingkai's narration on the stage also ended.
"... Next, I will ask all the responding teachers to criticize and correct me."
After speaking, Chen Mingkai looked at the defense team feeling good about himself.
Then, the defense team composed of these five academicians began their "making things difficult".
Since Lin Xiao said he could ask questions casually, they naturally focused on the difficult areas and asked them.
"Here, you consider the Hausdorff limit ε0=lim→∞ε(i+1). How should you solve the construction problem of this closed discrete set?"
"Have you ever considered that your (7,30) part is inconsistent with (i+1)?"
"And here..."
Question after question made everyone present feel extremely ashamed. Is this making things difficult?
This is definitely making things difficult, right?
Each of these questions is very tricky. If you are not 100% sure about the paper, which student can answer them all?
But Chen Mingkai answered them all and even started a debate with these answering teachers.
He wrote the paper word for word. Even the parts under Lin Xiao's guidance were written after he had fully understood them. Of course, he was not worried at all that he could not answer the academician's questions himself.
The undergraduates and other graduate students below were stunned. Li Min and Zhao Guodong had the same reaction. Is this the strength of their senior brothers?
Even when answering a question from an academician, even the taboo words of "Teacher, what you said is wrong, this is the right way..." came up.
Isn't it said that you should answer and answer, just answer without defending, and apologize like crazy?
——Of course, you are a graduate student after all. Just answering without defending is definitely not enough. However, their senior brother’s answer and defense without apology is still a bit outrageous, isn’t it?
"Hey, Academician Lin, you are a pretty good student, but you didn't save any face for me just now."
After Academician Yuan Ya finished asking the question, he couldn't help but said to Lin Xiao next to him.
He was the teacher who was told by Chen Mingkai, "Teacher, what you said is wrong, this is the way to go."
Lin Xiao was already smiling from ear to ear at this time, "Hey, you old man, don't argue with me, at least my analysis is very good, right?"
"That's true."
Yuan Ya nodded, and then sighed: "No matter what, I want you as a student."
"Haha, I've already graduated, so it's too late for you to do it."
"It's a pity, it's a pity." Yuan Ya shook his head and said helplessly: "As a student, I'm afraid I also learned from you. I refuted all the questions I asked. Fortunately, the content of the paper also learned the essence of you and was rigorous enough.
"
Lin Xiao smiled and nodded.
Of course he is also happy when his students can receive such praise. When his students are recognized, isn't it because he himself is recognized?
He was used to academic recognition, and now it felt very good to have a different taste of recognition.
Professor Zhao Xin, who was sitting in the back row, was already stunned. Seeing Chen Mingkai's performance during his defense, could he still say that Chen Mingkai was able to complete this paper entirely under the guidance of Lin Xiao?
?
Only if you write a paper entirely by yourself and have a deep enough grasp of the content, can you show this ability during the defense, right?
Will he ask again later?
At this time, when he saw Lin Xiao sitting in the front row with a smile on his face, he immediately gritted his teeth, and his dissatisfaction with Lin Xiao's enjoyment of so many resources broke out again.
Finally, he convinced himself in his heart, snorted coldly, and thought: Lin Xiao must have analyzed it from beginning to end for his student before he could answer it.
He just needs to use a few words from Chen Mingkai later, and he might be able to defeat them without any attack.
Thinking of this, he prepared the next cliché and waited for the defense committee to finish asking questions.
Soon, the five academicians of the defense committee had asked all the questions. In fact, seeing that Chen Mingkai had shown such excellent academic ability in his previous answers, the last three academicians had no idea of continuing to make things difficult, so they asked casually.
After asking a few questions, he let him go.
Otherwise, if Chen Mingkai says "You are wrong" again, they will lose face.
At this time, Xu Ji, as the chairman of the defense committee, said with a smile: "Our classmate Chen is very good, and his answers are also very good. So if you, the professors here, still have questions, you can ask them now.
Let’s hurry up.”
Everyone present looked at each other. After seeing Chen Mingkai answer questions just now, almost no one wanted to ask questions. Even some people who were also dissatisfied with Lin Xiao didn't think about asking anymore at this time.
.
When Zhao Xin saw that no one asked questions, he snorted in his heart. It seemed that he could only do it by himself.
Then, he said: "Classmate Chen, your paper is indeed very well written. It fully meets the expectations of a doctoral dissertation, and even reaches the level of a top-ranked paper."
This compliment was so complimentary that the undergraduates and other graduate students in the back row couldn't help but be surprised. It turned out that their senior brother's papers could actually be published in the top journals?
Isn't this a bit too powerful?
Chen Mingkai also smiled, thinking that Zhao Xin was here to praise him, so he smiled and said: "Thank you, teacher. In fact, the main reason is Professor Lin's guidance. Without him, I would never have been able to write this kind of paper."
Zhao Xin suddenly laughed, and then asked: "According to what you said, what percentage of your thesis do you think is the credit of your tutor?"
When hearing this question, people who are not quick-thinking can't understand anything, but people like Lin Xiao and others immediately felt that Zhao Xin's words were wrong.
As a student, Chen Mingkai must flatter his instructor at this time. It is obviously impossible to say 20%, 30% or something, and if he answers 50% or more, he cannot control how it will be distorted when it is spread out.
, and it may even have a completely negative impact when the time comes.
This Zhao Xin really has no good intentions!
Lin Xiao, Xu Ji and the others immediately frowned. Xu Ji also knew that many people in domestic academic circles were very dissatisfied with Lin Xiao's age and the resources he enjoyed. However, in the past, no one dared to say anything because of Lin Xiao's achievements.
, and this matter may be taken advantage of by these guys.
So he immediately said: "Hey, Professor Zhao, this question is not within the scope of the questions we should ask. Let's change it to an academic question."
Zhao Xin said: "Academician Xu, although this is not an academic issue, it is not all an academic issue for our academics. I also want to know the status of Professor Lin in the eyes of his students."
Xu Ji turned his head and said nothing due to the crowd, but his eyes were fixed on Zhao Xin.
But at this moment, Chen Mingkai on the stage spoke.
"Well, professor, I think this kind of problem cannot be quantified using percentages. Rather than saying how much credit my supervisor has for this paper, it would be better to say that I was able to write this
This paper deserves a lot of credit from my supervisor."
"Fortunately, in the past two years, Professor Lin has clarified my doubts about my preaching career, which is the fundamental reason why I have the ability to write this paper. In this regard, I believe that my tutor has the greatest influence
The credit lies in it.”
"Before that, I actually didn't know that this method or that method could be used to solve mathematical problems. This made me more and more interested in mathematics, and my mathematical ability was continuously improved."
"This is the direct factor that led to the birth of this paper."
"Of course, I am also grateful to Professor Lin for his several guidance during my research process, which saved me a lot of research time."
"So, although I have already said it once in my acknowledgment, now please allow me to say thank you again to my mentor!"
Having said this, Chen Mingkai bowed solemnly to Lin Xiao.
Seeing this, everyone in the lecture hall immediately applauded.
"Well said!"
Yuan Ya was the first to say.
Xu Ji also smiled. With a student with such a high IQ and EQ, would he still care about Zhao Xin's little tricks?
He looked at Lin Xiao and said, "Lin Xiao, you have a good student."
Lin Xiao looked at Chen Mingkai on the stage with a smile on his face and nodded slightly.
This is the best reward he can receive as a teacher, right?
