"I have already marked the places that need to be revised for you. Except for some inappropriate literature references, there is basically no big problem."
March 13, 2020, Jingzhou City, Office of the Institute of Advanced Mathematics, Jingzhou University.
Xu Yun sat on the chair and stepped out of the space, showing a paper on partial differential equations on the screen. He explained it to a tall boy with short hair standing next to him with a kind expression. After speaking, he safely ejected the USB flash drive and pulled it out of the computer. Hand it back to the other party.
The boy with broken hair was very respectful and polite. After taking the things, he thanked him profusely: "Thank you very much, Professor Xu, for helping me revise the paper. Then I will add your name as the corresponding author."
As an undergraduate, if you have a professor who is willing to help revise your paper, you are definitely blessed by the goddess of luck, not to mention an authoritative mathematics professor like Xu Yun who has continuously proved the world's mathematical problems. Although the other party does not ask for anything in return, he must have the necessary discernment, so the corresponding author must give it to him.
If you can establish a good relationship with Professor Xu in advance, you might be able to get admitted to the other party's graduate school in the future.
Nothing to gain or do any harm.
Just as the boy with broken hair was thinking to himself and was satisfied with his cleverness, the answer that came next to his ears made him stunned.
"There's no need to add names. I can't add them all when I'm supervising so many people's papers." Xu Yun said softly with a smile on his lips, which was considered a tactful rejection.
Since he said in class that day that he would read the papers to the students attending the class, people came to his office within a few days.
Facts have proven that most students who can enter Beijing University are quite ambitious.
They all have the idea of publishing a paper.
Many of them chose to apply for the Mathematics Department of Peking University. They were all inspired by his deeds, and naturally they set the goal of publishing SCI papers.
Although most of the papers were rough and had many problems, and even the four-region journals with lower impact factors found it difficult to pass, he still patiently provided guidance, highlighted the problems in the papers and gave corresponding suggestions.
After all, this one may not work, and the next one may take off.
It's like planting a seed.
Whether they can germinate successfully depends on themselves.
Several of these papers still meet the standards, and you can choose a journal and try to submit them.
The quality of the paper written by the boy with broken hair in front of me is slightly higher. To be conservative, it can be accepted by the Journal of the Second District of the Academy of Sciences, which can increase the progress of advanced tasks.
Xu Yun's reason for not letting the other party add his name is one thing, but the actual situation is that he doesn't like these papers at all. If the outside world knows about the designation, he will be said to be crazy about the journal.
The essence of a paper lies in its excellence rather than its abundance.
It is no exaggeration to say that based on his authority and status in the mathematics community, the name Xu Yun is a golden sign.
Only papers from journals in the fourth and third districts of the Academy of Sciences can be published. If his name is added to the title of the book, then the journals in the first district will accept it. This is equivalent to using his name to gild the paper. Every paper under Zhenruo's guidance Adding names to everything will indeed have a bad impact.
The reason why I didn't explain the reason directly was because I was worried that it would offend the other party.
Of course, if he instructs excellent papers that can be published in the four major journals in mathematics, he would not mind adding a name at the end to protect the students.
"I'm sorry, Professor Xu, I didn't think carefully."
The boy with broken hair really thought it was because there were too many papers directed by Xu Yun. He raised his hand and scratched his head in embarrassment, and quickly expressed his apology.
"fine."
"I accept your wish." Xu Yun looked at the other party's helpless look, smiled and reassured: "This paper can be submitted after revising it according to the suggestions I gave. It can be submitted to any of the journals I recommend."
"Okay Professor Xu."
After quickly nodding in response, the boy with the broken hair was about to leave, and then said tentatively: "If Professor Xu has nothing else to do, I will go back to the dormitory to work on my thesis."
"Go ahead."
Xu Yun waved his hand and said.
Watching the other person walk out of the office until the figure completely disappeared from sight, he called up the panel in front of him and whispered softly.
"Including this paper, there are only five papers that can be published with certainty."
Yes.
Up to now, there have been five papers that meet the task requirements and can definitely be successfully published. Although most of them are still in the review stage, it still cannot change the fact that more than half of the advanced tasks have been completed.
Speaking of which, among these papers, the one who surprised him the most was not the handsome boy with broken hair just now.
On the contrary, it was Han Xiaoya who was about to enter her junior year.
At the end of last month, he learned that Han Xiaoya had been secretly writing a thesis since she was promoted to sophomore year. He originally planned to write and submit the paper alone, but because he offered to guide the thesis in the open class, he changed his mind after finishing it.
The topic Han Xiaoya chose was the optimization of linear operators and linear functionals. After reading the content of the paper, he found that there was almost no fault in the core part of the argument and the final conclusion of the paper. No wonder the other party was so confident in the first open class that day. In the end, he only made appropriate changes to the wording and sentences of the paper.
There is no problem in saying that she is the strongest student in her class.
At present, this paper has been submitted to the journal of the Academy of Sciences and is under review.
I turned my mind and focused my attention back on the panel. I could see that the column of the attribute template task showed that it was completed.
Today, Friday, has been six weeks since the first open class. During these weeks, he insisted on giving lectures every day on weekdays and successfully completed the task after the noon class.
I just haven’t had time to check the mission rewards yet.
First of all, the increase in points brings his total to 430. With the remaining eight hours of brain overclocking time, if he encounters a problem that is difficult to solve, he can enter the brain overclocking state at any time.
But what he is most looking forward to right now is the two random reward opportunities.
The random reward he received last time allowed him to achieve the one-shot soul achievement and draw a junior artificial intelligence that can grow.
There is a feeling of transport.
There are two random reward opportunities this time. Even if the value of the items obtained is not as good as the junior artificial intelligence, it is not too outrageous.
"I wonder if the god-level luck from last time can happen again?"
As Xu Yun's consciousness moved slightly, the familiar roulette wheel immediately occupied the entire light screen. Under the roulette wheel, he could clearly see the remaining two times of random rewards drawn. Seeing this, he no longer hesitated and started to let the wheel go directly. The disk rotates at high speed.
Compared with the excitement and anticipation when he drew random rewards in the first few times, he now looks like an old man who has been in society for many years, and his heart is basically calm.
Calmly wait for the item information to appear.
The results of the random reward cannot be changed, and there is really no need to fluctuate emotions.
At most, pray before smoking.
After about a few seconds, the wheel's speed finally slowed down, and it spun a few more times based on inertia and finally stopped.
Almost instantly, the entire light screen was filled with emerging item information.
——
Item: Crispy Grilled Chicken
Category: food
Description: An excellent companion when staying up late studying, with a shelf life of three months.
"this is……"
Xu Yun subconsciously rubbed his eyes to make sure that he had not seen it wrong, and he felt at a loss of whether to laugh or cry.
He actually won the item he got during the first random reward. He still remembers that during the winter vacation of his senior year in high school, he brought this roasted chicken home to share with his mother. Her mother still talks about the taste to this day. Unfortunately, she bought many roasted chickens during this period. You can't even find that flavor in chicken.
Although the roast chicken, which was the item drawn as a random reward, was not of high value, it could satisfy my mother's regrets and could not be said to be useless.
"I can only take it home at night. I guess my mother will be very happy, and it just so happens that Shihe can have a taste."
His thoughts stayed here and he murmured a few words softly. Then he withdrew his attention from the item information, summoned the roulette wheel again and started the next draw directly.
His first failure in the lottery made him realize that Lady Luck would run away from home again, so he had no hope for the only chance left and just wanted to end this session quickly so he could do his own thing.
He didn't even watch the roulette wheel spinning at high speed for a few seconds.
It wasn't until the familiar item information resurfaced, filling the entire panel, that he moved his gaze upwards.
——
Item: Somatic cell active agent
Category: Sample
Description: The body is the capital of everything. This medicine can greatly reduce the probability of cell cancer.
"Did you win another sample?"
Almost as soon as the item information came into his eyes, he subconsciously exclaimed, but he didn't expect another surprise to come to him.
I read the item description carefully in the next second and started thinking to myself.
"A potion that can reduce the probability of cells becoming cancerous. What I picked up this time is really extraordinary!"
As the item introduction information says, the body is the capital of everything. If there is a problem with the body, no matter how advanced the technology is developed, it will not be able to escape the fate of death, which will become a regret for the entire human civilization.
With the current level of medical technology, cancer is still an unsolved problem.
And the sick population is gradually getting younger.
Xu Yun knew very well that although he had extremely high talent and knowledge, there was nothing he could do about cancer.
This somatic cell active agent can be used to reduce the probability of cell cancer. To a certain extent, its value exceeds all previous items.
At least this would save him from having to worry about cancer.
In addition, a very bold idea came to his mind.
Although somatic cell active drugs can only prevent cell canceration and cannot treat patients who already have cancer, if such drugs can be mass-produced and entered the market, I believe it will definitely cause the whole human race to go crazy. After all, who can guarantee that they will never get cancer? For cancer, using this drug is equivalent to taking upper-level insurance.
It won't be long before cancer is completely gone.
Become forgotten history.
The advancement of a certain technology may improve people's lives, but the emergence of medicines is related to the length of life.
To understand this, he even wanted to take this bottle of medicine to the biological research laboratory.
Test the ingredients inside and deduce them.
Maybe we can conquer the synthesis technology of this drug and make Deepin Technology the greatest company in the world.
But in the end reason won.
"With the current level of the laboratory, it is too difficult to reversely introduce pharmaceutical synthesis technology." Xu Yun thought of the technical level of the biological research laboratory, shook his head and gave up the idea.
If research for ten or eight years yielded no results, he would definitely choose to use it without hesitation.
He is not a saint.
It was impossible for him to take the risk and take out the potion for research.
What's more, the field of biopharmaceuticals is something he is not good at. In addition, he has to solve a century-old problem like cancer. Even if he wants to turn on the brain overclocking, the existing points will not be able to support the problem until the problem is completely solved.
The best choice is to ensure your own safety first so that you can devote yourself to research in this field later.
Perhaps by that time, drugs to treat cancer can be successfully developed without relying on backward modeling of samples.
The last sample he drew was an energy potion, but it only lasted two hours.
Far from being comparable to the value of somatic cell active agents.
Making a decision secretly in his heart, Xu Yun stopped hesitating. With a slight movement of consciousness, the potion immediately appeared in his hand.
Lowering his eyes and looking at it, he saw that the appearance was basically the same as the common Shuanghuanglian oral liquid, but there was no information mark on the entire bottle. When he raised his hand and put it in front of his eyes, he could see the light blue liquid inside.
He undoubtedly has great faith in the items drawn through random rewards.
Seeing that this potion was taken orally and did not require injection, I opened it and poured it in without even thinking.
“It tastes okay.”
After taking two sips, Xu Yun clicked his tongue and made a comment.
Unexpectedly, it still tastes sour and sweet.
I just felt my physical condition carefully after I was done and didn't notice any changes.
Although a little disappointed, the mood is still stable.
There will never be any problems with items obtained as random rewards, and medicines can only reduce the probability of cell cancer, so it is normal not to feel the changes in one's own body.
After the drawing of random rewards was completely over, Xu Yun transformed into an excellent and diligent professor again, and continued to look at the papers sent by previous students, trying to choose the taller among the short ones to complete the advanced tasks as soon as possible.
The rewards for ordinary tasks have been obtained, and what I am looking forward to most is the new material synthesis technology.
Time passed by, and soon in the evening he was ready to go home and let his mother and Chen Shihe taste the roasted chicken.
Facts have proved that the students in the Department of Mathematics at Peking University are indeed uneven. It is not easy to find enough publishable papers in a short period of time. Nearly a few hours passed in the afternoon and there was still no new gain.
Of course, there is no way around this. If you want to successfully complete the advanced tasks, you still need to spend time teaching him.
…
"never mind."
"That's it for today."
"go home."
In the office, Xu Yun finished reading the last paper, turned off the computer, stood up and stretched while talking.
When the screen went dark, he reached for the phone on the table and was about to leave, but the screen suddenly lit up, and a prompt message for adding a friend popped up.
Originally, this was a normal thing, and there was no need to pay special attention to it at all.
But after he saw the content of the note, a look of surprise suddenly appeared in his eyes, making him very surprised.
The other party's remark information is very simple, only four words.
"I'm stupid."
"Use this name to introduce yourself, right?"
He knew very well that the only people around him who were familiar with the name Benben were artificial intelligence models that had been online for more than a month.
While muttering in his mouth, a very bold guess emerged in his mind.
If something like this had happened before, he would have suspected who was playing a prank. The key was that Benben was a very special being.
Although it is only at the level of rudimentary artificial intelligence, it can learn and grow quickly on its own.
If their abilities grow to a certain level, it is indeed possible to create social accounts for themselves to communicate.
Even the person being communicated will not even think that his friend is actually an artificial intelligence.
If you think about it deeply, it’s a bit of an uncanny valley effect.
However, if his guess is correct and Benben creates his own social account to learn and adds him as the person with the highest authority, then it means that Benben has completed the version upgrade after growing up during this period.
It’s just that the updated version is too powerful.
The thought stayed here, and the remaining thought in Xu Yun's mind at this moment was to confirm it immediately.
Therefore, he ignored the friend request and directly called Yan Kaiming, the head of the artificial intelligence laboratory.
The call was answered soon.
Before Xu Yun could tell his question, he heard Yan Kaiming's extremely excited voice coming from the microphone.
"Mr. Xu."
"I was planning to report the good news from the laboratory to you."
"Our people..."
After hearing Yan Kaiming's words, Xu Yun basically made a conclusion in his heart.
He immediately took the lead and said, "Did Benben successfully complete the first version iteration upgrade?"
"Mr. Xu, do you already know?" A look of curiosity appeared on Yan Kaiming's face after hearing this. He subconsciously asked and then continued: "Just now, Benben independently upgraded to version 2.0. Compared with the actual performance, various functions The original versions were completely different."
"In addition, we also found that Benben has registered many platform accounts, and it seems that he wants to better imitate human logic in this way."
"It's just incredible."
For Yan Kaiming, he did not hesitate to stop the project they had developed for a long time and chose to train the model developed by Xu Yun alone, mostly out of trust in Xu Yun.
And when Benben first opened up the use rights, he was still worried because of the complaints and disapproval from the outside world.
Xu Yun's comfort from behind strengthened his confidence, and then he tried his best to train and optimize Benben.
As a result, in just over a month, Benben has moved from version 1.0 to version 2.0. It is a rocket-like iterative update speed, and the performance of the new version directly shocked all the laboratory personnel. If they had not already carried out After detailed testing, it can be said that I can’t believe the facts in front of me.
After listening to Yan Kaiming's trembling answers, Xu Yun also understood that his guess was correct.
This made him worried and expectant at the same time.
I really want to see how far Benben can grow, but I don’t know what kind of impact it will have on society.
After thinking for a few seconds, he looked confident again and his eyes showed determination.
Then he spoke in a deep voice and told Yan Kaiming on the phone: "I already know everything about the situation. I will continue to monitor Benben's operation log but do not interfere with his independent learning method. In addition, I have a new project that will be handed over to the laboratory. Go get it done.”
Obviously, he has made clear plans for subsequent development and is just waiting to witness the arrival of the intelligent era.
