"The editors-in-chief and editors of the Duke Mathematics Journal: Hello. The letter has been received. I can understand your journal's concerns about the potential academic risks of this paper, but it must be noted that when we use the When looking at the new generation with a different perspective, they often make the mistake of empirical dogmatism.”
"I no longer want to overemphasize Qiao Ze's talent. In fact, he has invalidated my experience countless times. The reason why the corresponding author of this paper needs to write my name is just because he is still a well-known figure in mathematics. It’s hard for a pure newcomer to be taken seriously.”
"What gratifies me is that you have seen his value and potential. I believe that his next paper will no longer need my escort. You can submit it directly using his email address, at least in the "Duke Mathematics Journal" It will definitely be taken seriously here, right?”
"Okay, let's get back to the topic. In fact, I have many ways to prove that the original author of this paper is Qiao Ze. Of course, we can also follow the past practice and bear the consequences of academic misconduct related behaviors through other methods. But this This time, I want to show you a relatively alternative method of proof. This method should be unique to Qiao Ze, at least I have never seen anyone use it before."
"This method is very simple. In the process of proving important theorems and lemmas, Qiao Ze, the author of this paper, introduced some special equations. When selecting a special section for its variables, a special section will be obtained accordingly. Numerical value. Take out this value and convert it to ASCll value, and you can get the proof you need. I will intercept one of the paragraphs in the attachment to prove it. And the same proof method can be found in many places in this paper."
"Okay, that's the explanation of the letter. Thank you again for your letter. Li Jiangao, School of Mathematics, Xilin University of Technology."
…
After editing the email and clicking send, Li Jiangao sat down and stretched.
Feeling relieved...
He decided not to get too involved in the conversation between Su Lixing and Yu Hongwei.
It was mainly what the two of them talked about, and he really had no interest in it.
He just needs to ensure that the profits that should be given to Qiao Ze are in place.
Even this didn't require him to worry too much.
Su Mucheng was even more worried than he and Qiao Ze that Qiao Ze would suffer.
Li Jiangao felt a little aggrieved for Su Lixing.
This daughter raised...
Pretty good too.
Thinking of this, the corners of Li Jiangao's mouth turned up slightly, revealing an aunt-like smile.
But before the smile bloomed for a second, he was alarmed by the movement in the living room.
"Jiangao, we are here."
"Dean Xu?" Li Jiangao stood up quickly, glanced at Qiao Ze who was still working, and went out without disturbing the child.
Not only Dean Xu came, but also Minister Yang from the school propaganda department.
I've seen Li Jiangao before, but I'm not very familiar with him.
"Dean Xu, are you here to inspect the work?"
"Haha, Jiangao, look at what you said. In fact, Lao Yang and I came here specifically to apologize to you and Qiao Ze. Hey, isn't this the news I received from you last night? Here comes the basket. Hey, at this age, my work is still so careless, I need to review it."
Xu Dajiang spoke very sincerely, and his expression looked very sad and remorseful. However, in Li Jiangao's opinion, he still used too much force, which made him feel slightly embarrassed.
He is just a small mathematics professor, how can he be qualified?
"No, Dean Xu, you are too...hey, forget it, I'll ask Qiao Ze to come out."
Li Jiangao could tell that Dean Xu was a drunkard and was not interested in drinking, so he turned around and called out: "Qiao Ze, stop being busy now and come here."
After a while, Qiao Ze came out.
Xu Dajiang put on an apologetic smile again and said, "Qiao Ze..."
"No need to apologize, I just heard it from inside."
Qiao Ze shook his head, interrupted Xu Dajiang's words, then tilted his head slightly, looked at Xu Dajiang and asked, "Has the purpose been achieved?"
"Ah?" Xu Dajiang was slightly startled, and immediately became a little unnatural when facing Qiao Ze's bright eyes.
Isn't this... too direct?
Completely unprepared for how to deal with this situation.
As for Yang Lichun behind him, he had turned to look in the direction of the balcony. What can I say? This was the first time he had seen Qiao Ze with his own eyes. He just felt that this child was a little too upright.
However, after understanding how Qiao Ze came to school, Yang Lichun felt that this kind of response was probably normal.
It's good to be direct, otherwise if you really play tricks on someone with this kind of IQ, you might not be able to outsmart someone else together.
"Haha, actually we don't have any bad intentions. The main thing is that we hope to run the School of Mathematics better. Qiao Ze, you don't know how difficult it is to develop the school now..."
"Then it's almost done. Then let's make an equal exchange."
"Forehead?"
"Next month, the application channel for outstanding students will open, and the college will strongly recommend Uncle Li." Qiao Ze gestured with a finger seriously.
Xu Dajiang was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Li Jiangao.
Li Jiangao was also looking at Qiao Ze blankly.
At this moment, Qiao Ze's image once again overlapped with that of his retired mentor.
There is no way, this scene looks like a tutor helping his students to obtain resources.
"No problem!" After reacting, Xu Dajiang nodded fiercely.
He happened to be still thinking about how to tie Li Jiangao and Qiao Ze to Xilin Mathematics College. In fact, Qiao Ze's request did not deviate too much from his needs.
"I want to study for a Ph.D. and graduate as soon as possible." Qiao Ze pointed out his second finger.
"Um... Qiao Ze, why don't you stay at the undergraduate level for a year? After all, you are just in high school... Hey, let's not talk about this. Think about it, Professor Li is not a doctoral supervisor yet, of course you can get a doctorate now. But the mentor cannot be your Uncle Li. Think about it, at the beginning of next year, when your Uncle Li gets the qualification to supervise a doctoral degree, you will be your uncle Li’s disciple when you go to study for a Ph.D., and it will be a good story in the future!"
Qiao Ze thought for a moment, then glanced at the stunned Li Jiangao and nodded.
This is indeed good advice.
Xu Dajiang raised his hand and wiped his sweat.
In fact, he still hasn't figured it out yet. He obviously just wanted to apologize to Qiao Ze, but why did he end up doing business...
"My mother has always wanted to live in a big house, but she also wants to take care of me nearby. You can help her find a big house to live in near the school, and I will pay for it." Qiao Zebi pointed out his third finger.
"This is no problem! Leave it to me! I promise to find a house of at least 200 square meters that is closer to the school than Xiyuan Community. And you don't need to spend money. You can live in it as long as you still need it. As long as it is not listed on the market Just trade.”
Xu Dajiang said, patting his chest.
"My mother said that Teacher Yu has always taken good care of her in Star City. Can you help Teacher Yu get promoted?"
"Ah..." Xu Dajiang blinked, and cold sweat began to seep out on his forehead.
Now he just hopes that the research team does not have cameras...
How should he respond to such a straightforward request?
"Um... Yu Chenggong is a teacher in the Admissions Office, and we are in a different system. This requires him to work hard to improve himself within the system, but..."
"Oh, I understand! Do you just want to make suggestions to his leader?"
"Well, that's pretty much what it means."
"Okay." Qiao Ze replied, then looked at Xu Dajiang and Yang Lichun and said, "The conversation is over, I'm leaving."
After saying that, without giving the two of them a chance to talk anymore, they turned around and walked towards the workroom inside.
Xu Dajiang looked at Li Jiangao subconsciously.
Li Jiangao spread his hands and said, "Qiao Ze is like this. He calls this efficient communication."
"Hmm...forget it, Jiangao, let's have a meal together tonight?"
"Call Qiao Ze?"
"Forget it, let the kids do their thing."
"good."
…
Editorial Board of Duke Mathematics Journal, Duke University, USA.
"Oh, My God!" A startled breath in the early morning attracted the attention of all the editors in the newsroom. Even Joe Bernard in the chief editor's room stood in front of the glass window of the office and glanced at the workstation outside. .
But he was obviously slower, because Laurent Lane, who had screamed in surprise, had already rushed into his office under the watchful eyes of all the editors.
"Qiao, you won't believe what I just saw. This is definitely the most amazing operation this year, because you can't imagine that there is such a way to prevent counterfeiting of papers!"
"Oh? Okay, Laurent, calm down. You are not a new editor. I thought you could be more calm. But now you have successfully aroused my curiosity. The good news is that if this news is true, It's worth your surprise, so maybe I'll consider asking the board to give you a bigger bonus. The bad news is, if I find it boring, I'll take it back."
"That's great, Joe. I'm sure I can get this bonus. Joe, let me use your notebook and I'll pull out the letters and attachments for you. Trust me, you'll think it's okay too." so?"
Joe Bernard pushed his computer forward, Laurent Lane immediately started to operate it, and then pushed it back. Five minutes later, Joe Bernard raised his head and glanced at Laurent in surprise.
"No one noticed?"
"Yes! I was also puzzled just now, but this equation is indeed an indispensable proof process. So that young guy used his super mathematical skills to record this watermark in the paper. No, it should be It’s not just this one, because the letter said there are many places with the same watermark. So, Joe, do you think this operation is magical enough?”
"Well, I have to admit that this is indeed an interesting thing. Do you know what I want to do now? I plan to call Sumant. In his words, he reviewed this article continuously in just one month After writing the manuscript twice, I can ask him if he has discovered such an interesting watermark. You can guess what kind of expression this arrogant professor will have when he discovers this little trick. Maybe I should video chat with him. "
"Then I'd better go out first. If his expression is strange, I hope you can tell me."
"Haha, of course Laurent. Really, the Chinese people have surprised me twice in a row. By the way, let's add that Ze to the list of key authors. I have a hunch that he might be really... how should I say it? He is a very different kind of mathematical genius."
"Okay, Joe."
…
Watching Laurent Lane turn around and leave, Joe Bernard immediately opened his MSN with great interest and sent a video message.
Joe Bernard was not disappointed. After a few rings, the other party connected to the video call.
"Joe, what's the matter?"
"Professor Jair, the author of the paper you admired just gave me some little surprises. I plan to send them to you. Believe me, this is a genius design."
"Oh? Okay, don't be so pretentious, Joe, what's the surprise again?"
"Open your email, I've already sent it to you. But I hope you don't hang up the video call yet. I just agreed..."
Before Joe Bernard finished speaking, the other party directly closed the video chat interface.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!
This is a pity.
He also wanted to see that guy's face...
So Joe Bernard quickly typed into MSN: "It's not good for you, Sumante. Next time there is such interesting news, I won't notify you again!"
There was no response from the other party.
All right……
This is a professor with personality.
Sighing in his heart, Joe Bernard looked at this magical method again, then estimated the difficulty of doing so in his heart, and then shook his head slightly.
How should I put it, fortunately he is just the editor-in-chief.
I don’t know how I came up with such a creative method.
It's certainly fun though.
But Joe Bernard had a lot of other work to do after all, and he quickly got to work.
Until the mobile phone heard a connection request from MSN.
Joe Bernard glanced sideways, and it turned out to be Sumant Jer who took the initiative to send it.
He was a little surprised, but that didn't stop him from immediately connecting to the other party's video call.
"Sumante..."
"Stop talking nonsense and listen to me! Joe, after reading the watermark proof method, I rechecked the paper published by the Germans in "Communications of Pure and Applied Mathematics". Do you remember what I told you yesterday? ?The proof process of an important lemma in these two papers is very similar. To put it simply, I applied this method, found a similar system of equations, and then used supercomputing to verify it step by step, and finally found the same watermark!"
"Forehead?"
"Yes, you heard it right. Although the equations are different, and although some places have been modified, this watermark is unmistakable! In the end, we got exactly the same string, and there is no need to use ASCll value conversion, because the number field It’s exactly the same!”
"Ahem, okay, Sumant, let me figure it out. Are you saying that you found the digital watermark left by the Chinese guy in the paper submitted by Ackerman and his students? If I remember correctly If so, the translation of that sentence is, this paper was jointly completed by LiJiangao and QiaoZe? So there is such a complete sentence hidden in their paper, right?"
"That's right! Joe! You're absolutely right!"
"Haha! Oh, God! Why are you telling me this! I already feel that my conscience is being tortured, but Cohen's School of Mathematics is an important partner of our magazine. Hey... what should I do? But there is One thing, Sumant, in my mind, you are different from me. You have always possessed the spirit of chivalry that I don’t have..."
"Qiao..."
"What's up?"
"I think someone must have said that you are hypocritical!"
"No, no, no, Sumant, you forgot, we are friends! So I support all your decisions! Really!"
"hehe!"
"Also, I would like to ask, Sumante, how does it feel to hold a giant thunder in your hand?"
"It's good, but it's a pity that I can't use it to hit you."
"Haha... Lao Su, I like your sense of humor, I really do!"
