China, Xilin University of Technology.
Li Jiangao is also paying attention to the excitement.
The quarrel between two big guys is not like two random netizens exchanging passionate words on the Internet, where they can come up with dozens or hundreds of famous quotes in a minute.
In fact, the conversation between the two was very slow.
More than ten hours have passed since the incident, and the two of them have only posted 15 messages on Facebook in total.
The average person can think about each piece of content for more than two hours.
Of course, it may not be just thinking.
The world is not all about fun people.
Privately, there may be many people contacting the two big bosses, just like Sumant Jal just revealed that Editor-in-Chief Karl called him.
Such a long time of brewing gives people enough time to discover and join in the duel between the two.
Lu Changzheng was like this, and so was Li Jiangao.
Just two hours ago, Zhang Chunlei called him and told him about this. He also directly pulled him into a group chat. Someone in the group chat dropped a link. Click in to see a live screenshot of the conversation between the two.
This is a professor from Linhai University. He was worried that some colleagues would be inconvenient to browse Facebook, so he used a server rented by his own project to temporarily create an external link, and posted the chat content on both sides to the server for use in small groups. Colleagues gathered around to watch. You can also express your opinions directly on the server.
It can be seen from this that when the soul of Bagua is burned, professors are no different from ordinary people.
Li Jiangao was pulled into this group because he is currently Qiao Ze's nominal mentor...
When Sumant Jair revealed on Facebook that he was complaining about Qiao Ze's paper, Li Jiangao and Qiao Zeben became the focus of many professors who were paying attention to the matter.
So as soon as Li Jiangao was pulled into the group, a bunch of questions were thrown at him.
"Professor Li, please clear up our doubts. What incredible clue did Sumant Jer discover?"
"Has Berkeley contacted Qiao Ze? Do you want to drag Qiao Ze over?"
"Has Akerman Cornet ever had any trouble with you before?"
…
Everyone was very enthusiastic, but Li Jiangao was confused.
Dean Xu's sexy operation involved a lot of things, which had already kept him busy all day.
He was suddenly pulled into a group, and then a bunch of people asked a bunch of messy questions, which almost caused Li Jiangao's brain to crash.
Ignoring those random questions, Li Jiangao clicked on the link Zhang Chunlei threw to him and read the content of the quarrel between the two on Facebook from beginning to end.
Then it just felt more ridiculous.
He doesn’t know Sumant Jal at all?
Naturally, Qiao Ze is even less likely to have any interaction with the Turing Award winner.
So what exactly happened?
Why did this big boss suddenly want to speak up for Qiao Ze?
Until Li Jiangao saw Sumant Jair’s latest Facebook response and Joe Bernard’s comment below, it suddenly flashed through his mind like a bolt of lightning…
Yesterday, he sent Qiao Ze's method of leaving a watermark to the editors of the editorial office via email.
Today, Sumant Jair said that he found evidence of plagiarism by Ackermann Cornet...
No way? !
Coincidentally, this link also contains the professor from Linhai, who specially analyzed the two papers and excerpted the similar parts.
Li Jiangao took a quick glance and understood what was going on.
Ackerman's team did not cite it, but directly copied the proof process of Qiao Ze's paper.
Just copy it over, it won't be used much anyway.
What a shame, they actually copied the watermark part directly.
Li Jiangao felt that his brain was about to explode... At this time, he admired the German brain circuit more than anyone else.
How the hell is this going to end?
The key question now is not how much overlap the two papers have.
Even though less than 5% of the parts are the same, the watermark left by Qiao Ze is "this paper waspleted in collaboration with LiJiangaoandqiaoZe."
In other words, for others who are unaware, the moment they see this sentence, they will only think that this entire article was created by Qiao Ze and Li Jiangao. Rather than think that Ackerman's team only quoted a small part of it.
After all, who would believe it was such a coincidence?
Let alone the parts that can be quoted, who would choose to plagiarize?
At this time Li Jiangao had almost figured everything out.
There is no doubt that Ackermann Cornet was one of the reviewers of Joze's paper, and it was he who had been stuck on Joze's paper.
I don’t know what the professor’s mentality was, but he insisted on letting Qiao Ze revise it when he needed to quote Qiao Ze’s paper. As a result, the two parties failed to reach an agreement, and the other party simply wrote the necessary content directly into the paper.
It happened that because of Dean Xu's saucy operation, Qiao Ze's thesis was questioned, and when a letter of inquiry was sent, he informed the other party of Qiao Ze's method of leaving watermarks.
The editorial department told Sumant Jair about this method, and then the Berkeley professor successfully discovered the same watermark in Ackerman Cornet's paper.
After thinking about this, Li Jiangao felt that this world was too wonderful.
What a coincidence!
What surprised him the most was that he turned out to be the instigator of a Facebook duel between two world-class tycoons.
After all, if he hadn't sent Qiao Ze's watermark method directly to the editorial department on a whim, there's a high chance that this wouldn't have happened.
So...fuck!
At a loss, Li Jiangao directly posted two words in the group: "Watermark!"
These two words also directly exploded the group.
"Watermark? What watermark?"
"Jiangao, don't say half your words! I can't sleep at night if you act like this."
"That's right! Tell me quickly what's going on. Did Ackermann Cornet really plagiarize Joe Ze's paper?"
…
Looking at the countless @him questions in the group, Li Jiangao took a deep breath, and then directly sent screenshots of these conversations to Qiao Ze, describing in the simplest terms the big boss showdown taking place in the world.
Soon it was replaced by: "Oh."
Li Jiangao was still a little uncomfortable seeing the word "oh".
The entire mathematics community is about to explode, how can this kid still be so calm?
At least a little more emotional?
"Qiao Ze, how do you think this matter should be handled?"
"Can."
"What can I do?"
"You can tell them the watermark. Don't worry about the rest."
"Here...I'll go to the studio later."
"good!"
…
After watching the brief conversation with Qiao Ze, Li Jiangao didn't bother to say anything more.
I simply edited what I demonstrated to the editors yesterday, edited it again, and then sent it directly to the small group.
"This is the watermark, created by Qiao Ze. Sumante should have deciphered it using this method."
The group was quiet for a moment.
It suddenly exploded after a while.
"I... I haven't seen you for a long time. Can you still leave such a watermark on your paper?"
"Is this really something a normal person can think of?"
"No, how did his system of equations fit perfectly into the proof process?"
"Jiangao, why don't you ask Qiao Ze if he still has a mentor?"
"So let's be clear, did this paper plagiarize the entire paper from you? Or did you just copy the process?"
"Jiangao, don't leave, why don't you push your Qiao Ze's WeChat account!"
Li Jiangao did not respond to any messages from the small group.
He couldn't help but want to go to the research group to have a look.
…
Small conference room on the second floor of the International Institute of Mathematics, Yanbei University, Beijing, China.
Several senior professors were too lazy to eat melon seeds and peanuts at this time.
No way, this is really hard to figure out.
No matter which logical chain is analyzed, no normal result can be obtained.
On the one hand, Sumant's performance proved that he seemed to have real evidence that Ackerman had plagiarized Joe Ze's paper, and he even wanted to remove the journal that published the paper.
But the two papers have already been read by someone, and the similarities are far from enough to warrant accusations of plagiarism.
This is a big deal!
People who eat melons can’t understand it!
At this moment, Zhang Hongcai's mobile phone, which he had casually left on the table, suddenly began to vibrate.
Zhang Hongcai subconsciously picked up the phone and glanced at it for a few times, and then he immediately got into it. After a few minutes, Zhang Hong raised his head, glanced blankly around his colleagues who were still thinking hard, and said with a slightly trembling voice: "Don't even think about it, you will never think of it! That kid Qiao Ze is actually in the paper They even designed a watermark!”
"Watermark?"
"What watermark?"
The other professors raised their heads and focused on Zhang Hongcai.
"See for yourselves." Zhang Hongcai handed over the phone directly, and several people's heads leaned towards it at the same time.
Time passed by, and when everyone raised their heads, they began to feel at a loss.
"Why are you so dazed? Let's try it first! Old Qian, do you have Ackerman's paper on your computer?"
"Oh...yes, yes, wait, I'll call it out."
"hurry up!"
"Here, it should be here."
"Hurry up and do the math. This procedure is simple."
"I'm writing, don't rush me, I'm still counting."
More than ten minutes later, several professors stared blankly at the line of English text on the big screen.
"This paper waspletedincollaborationwithLiJiangaoandqiaoZe."
There is such a line of string hidden in the paper of the corresponding author Ackermann Cornet and the first author Corey Durant...
Everyone finally understands where Sumant Jal’s unparalleled confidence comes from!
"this……"
"Crazy, I'm going crazy now!"
"Do you want it to be so exciting?"
“I thought I was eating an international melon, but who would have thought that it would be transferred from international to domestic!”
"How did Qiao Ze come up with the idea? It's just a paper, how can you still play like this?"
"So who is the author of this paper?"
…
Just when professors in China were already pulling their hair out.
Sumant Jer was finally too lazy to talk nonsense anymore.
After all, his goal has been achieved.
More than ten hours of fighting has attracted enough people to pay attention to this matter.
The lively comment section below the message posted by the two is enough to illustrate this point.
So he decided to just make the final cut.
It is also the sharpest and simplest knife.
He had already prepared all the proof process, he only needed to upload it to Facebook in the form of pictures.
This is not something difficult to verify. Mathematicians who are paying attention to this matter can easily calculate the results using computers.
The copy editing of the final cut is extremely simple.
Just one sentence.
"It's already nine o'clock in the morning and I'm tired, so let's unravel the mystery! Dear Professor Ackermann-Cornet, since you have repeatedly denied plagiarism, please explain why in your paper, there are This sentence? I will wait for you to give a reasonable excuse to the editorial department."
There is no doubt that Sumant Jal knows how to fight.
Because he omitted to quote the paragraph from Joe Ze's paper and only posted this paragraph from Ackerman Cornet's paper alone.
The finally restored text also used a bright red color.
Extraordinarily eye-catching!
Not long after posting this on Facebook, Sumant Jal’s comment section exploded.
All kinds of mindless emotions are increasing rapidly...
The only pity is that the English expressions of emotion are too poor and too homogeneous. Bad review!
…
Germany, Cohn University, School of Mathematics.
Ackerman Cornet was sitting in his office looking at the computer screen in a daze, his mind going blank.
In the end the knife came too quickly.
He was still thinking about how to bind his relationship with Ke Lang more firmly, when the knife struck him brutally.
The key is that he couldn't block this knife.
How to explain this?
coincide? !
How can there be such a coincidence in mathematics?
Who would have thought that such a pit would be buried in a paper?
Really, Ackerman already felt a little sweet in his throat at this time.
This paper is truly original!
At least the completion rate is over 95%.
It took nearly two years, and now it has become a joke because of this sentence.
At this time, Ackerman Cornette didn't even have time to feel the slightest bit of annoyance or regret in his heart.
What happened!
This fugue state continued until his office door was pushed open violently.
"Mr. Cornet..."
Ackerman raised his head and looked at the helpless expression on his most proud student's face. Suddenly he felt dizzy, and then his vision went dark...
"boom……"
"Mr. Cornet...oh my god..."
…
"boom……"
"Bangdang..."
"God..."
"How can it be?"
In the editorial office where I had just started working in the morning, there was only a lot of excitement at this moment.
No one expected that Sumant’s last Facebook post would be so sharp.
Especially Jack, who had just received a cup of coffee and brought it to his work station, ready to see how this matter would end.
too fast!
It was so fast that he didn't react at all...
As the editor in charge of two papers at the same time, Jack knew that this was no longer Ackerman Cornet's problem.
He could even imagine how gloomy Editor Karl's old face looked at this moment.
Of course, at this time, no one will recall how relaxed and comfortable they were discussing the paper from China on that warm afternoon just a month ago.
