Start as a top student and move towards the stars and the sea

In this way, Ning Chen started a life of running with Song Xiyun every night.

Ning Chen had to admit that with Song Xiyun taking him running every night, his progress was very obvious.

The time it took Ning Chen to run three thousand meters each time gradually increased from 14 minutes to 13 and a half to 13 minutes.

Gradually, Ning Chen also gradually increased the distance he ran each time, and finally he could run 5,000 meters with Song Xiyun.

Continuous and regular exercise has made Ning Chen's physical strength and energy better and better, and he can conduct research work in a better state every day.

This allowed Ning Chen to make continuous progress in his research topic. Every time Ning Chen introduced his latest progress to Qiu Chengtong, Qiu Chengtong would be amazed.

Finally, after advancing this research topic to a certain stage, Ning Chen felt that he had exhausted his talents.

"Professor Qiu, based on my current ability, I have exhausted all my strength and I'm afraid I can't continue to push forward. The whole problem is indeed beyond my current ability. I was a little overconfident in myself before."

Seeing that there was not much time left in the training camp, Ning Chen knew that he had not been able to completely solve Qiu Chengtong's suspicion within three months.

The work that Ning Chen completed during this period only started with drilling a hole in the wall, and now he has cut a gap in the wall.

If he wanted to continue to advance, Ning Chen would definitely need to rely on the power of the system, but this was contrary to the requirements of the system's mission.

Qiu Chengtong was not as disappointed as Ning Chen, but had a very satisfied expression on his face.

"Ning Chen, do you know what significance the work you are doing now has in the world of mathematics?"

"Professor Qiu, I...I'm not sure."

"Ning Chen, I can pat my chest and say that your current research results are enough to shock the experts in the field of mathematics. Don't be so presumptuous and write these research results into a paper as soon as possible. This is definitely a paper that can be published. The results were published in four major journals!”

Hearing what Qiu Chengtong said, Ning Chen was also a little surprised.

"Professor Qiu...are these results really of such high value?"

"Why, are you still worried that I will cheat you? I have said before that solving the entire Qiu Chengtong conjecture may require several major parts of work. The work you have completed now is the first major part of it. Even if you could really solve all the problems at once, it would be impossible to publish so many articles in the same issue of a journal."

With Qiu Chengtong's words, Ning Chen felt a lot more confident.

"Okay, Professor Qiu, then I'll go back and write my thesis."

"Well, when writing a paper, be sure to compress the length as much as possible. A dozen pages at most is enough. After all, your research content is too much. Just reflect the core steps in the paper."

Ning Chen also knew in his heart that if he wanted to show all the details of his research results in a paper, dozens of pages would definitely not be enough.

"Okay, Professor Qiu, I understand."

After returning home, Ning Chen studied some papers from the four major mathematics journals and roughly understood the style and characteristics of the papers in the four major journals.

The process of writing the thesis was more difficult than Ning Chen expected, because Ning Chen had to discard a lot of his own research content in the thesis, which made Ning Chen feel a little distressed.

However, this was also a sacrifice that Ning Chen had to make. After several days of continuous work, Ning Chen finally completed the first draft of the paper.

He handed the first draft to Qiu Chengtong for review. Qiu Chengtong was also very satisfied with Ning Chen's paper.

"Yes, it's really hard to believe that this is just a paper written by an undergraduate. It is much better than the one written by the graduate students I led. In this case, Ning Chen, I suggest you submit this paper to "AMS". "

"AMS...isn't it the magazine of the American Mathematical Society?" Ning Chen said heartily.

"AMS", or "Journal Of The American Mathematical Society", is one of the four top mathematics journals in the world.

Because this is a quarterly journal and the number of papers published each quarter is strictly limited, it is very difficult to publish a paper in it.

But since Qiu Chengtong is willing to say this, it is enough to show that Qiu Chengtong has full confidence in Ning Chen's paper.

"Ning Chen, after you revise this paper, you can submit it yourself. Before submitting, I will send a letter of recommendation to the journal to avoid affecting the review of your paper."

In the past, every paper of Ning Chen was submitted by the unit of school and college. This was also to make Ning Chen's paper more easily accepted. After all, before Ning Chen became famous, it was not acceptable to submit papers on an individual basis. It is easy to be ignored by editors, which greatly reduces the success rate of paper publication.

But the disadvantage is that Ning Chen can only be the first author and cannot appear as the corresponding author at the same time.

The meaning of Qiucheng's words was obviously that he wanted Ning Chen to be the corresponding author and first author at the same time, so that the results would be better in Ning Chen's own hands.

"Professor Qiu, I really don't know how to thank you..."

"Hey, why are you so polite? These results were all achieved by you. At most, I just gave you some guidance and suggestions. If you can continue to do mathematical research seriously and contribute to the development of the Chinese mathematics community, this will count. This is the greatest thank you to me.”

Ning Chen knew that what Qiu Chengtong said was from the heart, so he nodded vigorously.

In the following time, Ning Chen made some modifications to the paper based on Qiu Chengtong's opinions, and Qiu Chengtong also sent his letter of recommendation to the Journal of the American Mathematical Society as promised.

Qiu Chengtong's recommendation letter is still very valuable. After all, Qiu Chengtong has a great influence in the entire international mathematics community. The Journal of the American Mathematical Society also stated that after Ning Chen submits the paper, it will carefully review the paper. of.

Finally, Ning Chen completed the revision of the paper and submitted the paper to the submission mailbox of the Journal of the American Mathematical Society.

After completing this work, Ning Chen could finally breathe a sigh of relief. The past three months of research work had really allowed Ning Chen to break through his limits.

At this time, Ning Chen also felt that he could end his training camp life early. After all, his research topic was quite special and he did not need to continue the defense work.

In addition, Ning Chen also wants to return to Shengzhou University as soon as possible and upgrade his informatics to Lv1 first so that he can unlock the artificial intelligence rewarded by the previous system.

Ning Chen felt that if he wanted to continue research on Qiu Chengtong's conjecture, this artificial intelligence might be the key factor.

Ning Chen found Qiu Chengtong and explained his intention to end the training camp early.

"Well, it's okay to go back now. Anyway, the remaining tasks are basically the thesis defense. It's better not to participate in this. If you have any questions later, you can still contact me through email, or directly contact Teacher Feng Lan."

After thanking Qiu Chengtong again, Ning Chen returned to the dormitory and prepared to buy a ticket back to Shengzhou.

Abi Moyle is doing the preliminary review of the paper. Because the number of papers that can be published in each issue of the journal is very small, Abi Moyle has a very high rejection rate.
