Tech Hammer

At the high-speed rail station, Lu Dongyi stood at the exit. He was about to call Ning Wei when he suddenly felt his shoulders being tapped twice. When he turned his head, he saw Ning Wei, who was wrapped tightly from top to bottom.

The moment he saw Ning Wei, the immortal associate professor of Peking University suddenly felt a little cold.

"Senior brother!" Ning Wei shouted happily.

"Why do you wear so much?" Lu Dongyi asked.

"I'm afraid of being recognized." Ning Wei replied softly.

"Oh!" Lu Dongyi suddenly understood, then nodded with emotion, and said: "I have experienced this kind of pain. I was interviewed for no reason, and then many people gave me cups. Isn't it good to reuse plastic bottles?"

Ning Wei was stunned for a moment. He felt that his senior brother was in Versailles, but there was no evidence. Fortunately, he knew this.

"Well, senior brother, you are okay, but I am in trouble. Many people say they want to give birth to a monkey for me."

I'm not bragging. After learning about a series of things that happened last night from the driver's mouth, Ning Wei went to Weibo and took a look. There were really many people in the comment area of ​​his Weibo who said they wanted to give him a monkey. They probably thought that Does he have high-quality genes?

"Giving birth to a monkey?" Lu Dongyi looked at Ning Wei in confusion.

"Senior brother, you don't usually go online? Don't you pay attention to Internet buzzwords?"

"Very few."

"Oh...that's nothing." Ning Wei was bored. When someone thought about Versailles, the other party didn't understand that it was equivalent to the full level of passive defense, and there was no way to break through the defense.

What's even more frightening is that you can't take the initiative to explain, otherwise you will fail even more miserably.

Because that would break away from the category of Versailles, and without the excitement, it would become a deliberate show-off, and the rank would immediately drop dozens of steps, which is very boring.

"By the way, senior brother, have you eaten?

"After eating, I bought a bowl of hot dry noodles at Jiangcheng High-speed Railway Station. It tastes good."

"Then go directly to my house first?"

"convenient?"

"certain!"

"That's okay!"

…

On the way home, Ning Wei took a taxi directly.

Fortunately, the driver is not the talkative type.

The two of them were able to seriously discuss some academic topics. Lu Dongyi also told Ning Wei some of his thoughts and understanding of yesterday's content. However, the topics about mathematics in the taxi were only briefly touched on, and it was not convenient to go into depth. discussion.

When getting off the car to check out, Ning Wei found that there was a new email in the mailbox on his mobile phone. After getting off the car, he clicked on it and looked at it. It felt strange.

This email was sent by an editorial office called "Journal of the American Mathematical Society". It roughly means asking him to review a paper manuscript. The email contains an abstract of the paper and a link to accept the invitation.

This was the first time Ning Wei received such an email. He felt very novel and a little bit proud. So he raised his phone and looked at Lu Dongyi beside him: "Brother, an editor actually asked me to review the manuscript? No way. It’s true!”

"Oh? Let me take a look."

Lu Dongyi took the phone, glanced at it, and congratulated: "Not bad, it's a manuscript for the Journal of the American Mathematical Society. Hey, the first time I asked you to review the manuscript, it was for a top journal in the area. This is much better than what I did back then. , my first time was given to a journal that was at the bottom of the second district. Thinking about it now, it’s such a pity.”

Although this feeling of being recognized is very good, Ning Wei felt that Lu Dongyi said this, and he felt that there was nothing to be proud of.

"Then shall I answer?" Ning Wei asked.

"You can read the abstract first. If you feel interested, accept it. If you are not interested, reject it. Anyway, reviewing manuscripts is voluntary work. It depends on your mood. But if you review the manuscript well, you might still be able to get it. An annual outstanding reviewer of a certain journal." Lu Dongyi replied.

"Excellent reviewer of the year? Is there a bonus?"

Lu Dongyi shook his head and replied simply: "I don't know about anything else. Anyway, I haven't had anything like it."

"oh!"

Ning Wei nodded, and then sighed: "So it's all for free."

Lu Dongyi smiled: "Actually, it's not free work. Sometimes other people's papers can inspire you. You will know later. In the future, there will definitely be more journal editors recommending this kind of paper review to you. Even a lot of things that may not be related to your major will be thrown at you. So if you choose to be a reviewer, you can actually gain something. Especially review those journals in the first and second districts. Forget about the ones in the third and fourth districts. . Most of it is filled with water.”

"Oh, I'll take it then." Ning Wei clicked the accept button.

"You don't make a decision without reading the abstract of the paper first?" Lu Dongyi asked.

"Well, didn't Senior Brother say that the first time you picked up was from the bottom of the second district? He also said that this journal is the top one from the First District. As a junior, there must be a place where you can surpass your senior brother first." Ning Wei replied piously. .

"oh!"

Lu Dongyi thought for a while and felt that Ning Wei was right. Then he nodded, patted Ning Wei on the shoulder, and encouraged: "Well, come on, then! By the way, this journal of yours has given me a The title of Outstanding Reviewer of the Year.”

Um?

Looks like I lost again?

Ning Wei finally understood why he didn't feel too angry after being slandered like that yesterday. It turned out that everyone's pain points were really different.

Just like now, Lu Dongyi actually didn't say anything, but he really felt hurt.

This feeling is probably like the big brother wearing a big gold chain around his neck, a Rolex on his wrist, wandering around with a flower in his pocket, but being mocked to his face...

Very frustrated!

Fortunately, I am very close to home, which can comfort my body and mind.

…

They took Lu Dongyi directly home and faced the associate professor from Peking University. The two elders of the family planned to entertain him with the most solemn etiquette, but in the end they said hello and Ning Wei dragged Lu Dongyi into his room.

Then there were arguments in the room from time to time.

Lao Ning secretly peeked through the side crack of the door several times, and saw the two of them surrounding Ning Wei's desk, sometimes immersed in writing something, sometimes pointing to the contents on the desk and arguing, sometimes throwing the manuscript paper on the table casually. On the other hand, I picked up a new piece of manuscript paper and started writing and drawing...

Anyway, the two of them were very involved and selfless. He couldn't understand what they were talking about specifically, and he didn't dare to ask.

I feel very happy inside.

The child has finally been trained and can argue with an associate professor at Yanbei University on academic issues...

But he was relieved that the two people were engrossed in the argument. He wanted to ask them to eat, but he knocked on the door twice, but neither of them responded. He wanted to rush in directly, but he was afraid of interrupting their thoughts.

Yesterday, he watched the video until midnight. It is said that academic people pay attention to inspiration. When they have inspiration, they are most afraid of being disturbed. This makes him, a father, very embarrassed.

"Old Ning, how about I call you?"

Seeing her man's troubled appearance, Ning's mother said.

"Let's wait a little longer. Don't you see that the two of them are busy with business?" Lao Ning quickly made a decision.

"No matter how busy you are, you still have to eat?! It's almost a little late, and the food is almost cold before you even look at it?" Ning's mother muttered.

"Why are you anxious? Let it cool down and then warm it up later. What you need in learning is this kind of energy. Once this energy is exhausted, it will be difficult to build it up again. When they are hungry, they will naturally want to eat." Lao Ning still wanted to eat. Said very firmly.

It was two o'clock in the afternoon. Seeing that the two children had no intention of eating, Ning's mother finally couldn't help it and rushed into the room: "Professor Lu, Ning Wei, let's eat first. explain."

"This spatial sequence... Oh, I forgot to mention it. Professor Lu went to eat first and try my mother's cooking. That's great. But what, this is not Yanbei University. There are no steamed buns."

Afraid that Lu Dongyi would say "two buns" again, Ning Wei rushed to say.

"Oh, eat, yes, yes, eat, thank you auntie."

"Professor Lu, would you like a drink?"

"Sorry, uncle, I don't know how to drink."

"It's okay, it's okay, there are drinks at home."

"No, just boiled water will do."

After finishing the meal in Feng Juan Canyun quickly, Ning Wei and Lu Dongyi went back to the room, leaving Lao Ning alone at the dining table, drinking a small drink and sipping it slowly.

Ning's mother sat next to Lao Ning, pointed to her son's room, and asked calmly: "Have you seen everything?"

"What did you see?" Lao Ning was stunned and asked.

"How does your child live in school!" Mother Ning glared at her man and emphasized.

Lao Ning remained silent.

"Don't you hear me meddling in your children's business from now on? I'm telling you seriously, if you interfere in everything from now on, I'm really not done with you. Especially your children's emotional problems, you are not allowed to interfere in the future! Yes! Whatever happens, let me take care of it." Ning's mother said seriously.

"Okay, okay, I won't care about it anymore, and I can't control it anymore. As long as he goes to the capital to study for graduate school or Ph.D., I won't care about anything he does from now on. Just listen to you two, okay? Hey..." The old man Ning sighed.

It is certainly a good thing that the child is older and has potential, but after feeling happy, he feels a little empty.

"You will take out the photo album later, and suddenly you want to see the photos of your children when they were young."

Lao Ning put down his wine glass, sighed and said: "Hey... the child has achieved his future, but if you think about it carefully, he was actually still cute when he was a child."

…

Lu Dongyi stayed in Yancheng for five full days, and the harvest was naturally huge.

Although the two people were not able to fully prove the NS equation, and more and more questions were raised, it can definitely be said that they have advanced the mathematical community's understanding of the NS equation a step further. To express it specifically in academic language, three-dimensional incompressible NS The overall existence of equations in a limited space.

More importantly, Ning Wei proposed a new method and mathematical tool to study the N-S equation.

Although at present, it is not possible to directly prove the N-S equation by these, it is of extremely important significance for the development of the entire field of number theory in this direction. Of course, the prerequisite is that these arguments can be recognized by the theoretical community, or that more and more people can prove that the results of the discussion between Ning Wei and Lu Dongyi are correct.

In fact, Lu Dongyi planned to stay for a few more days, but time did not allow it.

Lu Dongyi's parents called him one after another urging him to go home quickly for the New Year. In addition, the discussion on this issue was almost done. There may be gains if he continues, but it may not be as big as the previous days. , so I had no choice but to give up.

When sending Lu Dongyi to the train station, there was no need to take a taxi. He knew that the professor from Yanbei University had come to the Ning family. Although he wanted to invite everyone to have a meal together but was politely declined by Lu Dongyi, Director Luo still came early. A car was arranged to take Lu Dongyi to the train station, and Ning Wei naturally followed.

In the car, the two of them were finally able to discuss a very important question: "Ning Wei, where do you plan to post the things discussed in the past two days when they are compiled into a paper?"

Ning Wei asked humbly: "What do you think is appropriate, Senior Brother? How about it be natural?"

Lu Dongyi replied: "Nature, forget it? I don't know why Smith posted that pure mathematics paper to Nature last time. I think if I want a more professional review, I should choose the four top journals in mathematics. Right. "Annals of Mathematics", "Inventiones Mathematicae", "Acta Mathematica" and "Journal Of The American Mathematical Society" are all fine."

"In fact, in the field of partial differential equations, it is quite difficult to publish in these four top journals, but your paper will definitely pass the review. Not many domestic papers can be published in these four journals, from Jianguo to There should be no more than thirty-five articles now. You should work harder and get more honors. When the time comes, let the teacher help you fight for it. Winning the National Outstanding Youth Fund will be of great help to your development."

"In addition, after this paper is successfully published, you will definitely be invited to top academic conferences. You can also take this opportunity to go out and have more exchanges with the outside world. Although your talent is amazing, in this field of number theory It is easy to fall into a dead end if you work behind closed doors, and communication is very important. Many professors in the West often have some very wild ideas, which may not necessarily be practical, but they can often inspire people."

Lu Dongyi spoke very sincerely and was really thinking about Ning Wei.

Ning Wei nodded, then patted his forehead and said, "Wait, I remembered it. It seems that the editor of "Journal Of The American Mathematical Society" sent me a paper for review. I also I didn’t have time to see it.”

"Ah……"

Seeing Ning Wei's uneasy look, Lu Dongyi smiled and said: "Don't worry, it's okay. How many days have it been? It's normal for volunteer reviewers to delay for one or two months. And if it's really urgent, If you don't respond to an urgent manuscript for a while, the editor of the journal will take the initiative to send you an email to inquire. The editor hasn't urged you yet, so why are you in a hurry?"

"But you are related to the "Journal Of The American Mathematical Society", so why not just send this paper to them."

"OK!"

Ning Wei nodded simply. Anyway, there was no difference between the four major journals to him. They were all top-notch in the first area. But soon he thought of another question. He looked at Lu Dongyi and asked, "Senior brother, How should I fill in this thesis unit? Include both Jiang University and Yanbei University?"

After Ning Wei finished speaking, Lu Dongyi smiled even more cheerfully: "What's so confusing about this? You're the first author, so just write about Jiang Daxing. I'm very satisfied if you can give me the second author, after all, I'm not really here Published papers in "Journal Of The American Mathematical Society"."

Ning Wei felt a little embarrassed and was about to say something when Lu Dongyi continued: "It's okay. Although I have not published anything in "Journal Of The American Mathematical Society", I am a first author in "Annals of Mathematics" Published two articles.”

After hearing this, Ning Wei felt that the trace of embarrassment had disappeared.

Well, the emotional sentence "It's quite difficult to publish these four top journals. From the founding of the People's Republic of China to now, there should be no more than thirty-five articles" is not just a compliment to him, but also a boast...
