The End of Technology

After hanging up the phone with Higginson, Fan Zhenhua had no intention of reading the report that his doctoral student spent a week preparing. Although he knows that his students are indeed working hard, in order to write this summary, he read almost all mathematics journals in the past three years this week.

There was nothing he could do. At this time, all his attention and curiosity had been attracted by the paper Higginson was talking about.

In fact, reading a paper is a kind of pain for 99% of people in this world. It has nothing to do with IQ or industry. It is actually the same for many doctoral students and even scientific researchers who have to deal with papers every day.

Especially for many struggling graduate students, they have to search and find peer papers in databases before applying for new projects. This is definitely a chore. Not only the quality of the papers is mixed, but also valuable information must be analyzed from them to make your own application report look more beautiful. At least you cannot come up with a brand-new project that you want to apply for, which is the mistake of other domestic peers' one-stop patents.

This job can definitely make people go bald.

But for those scientific research leaders who are truly at the forefront of scientific research subdivisions and at the top of the food chain, it is a pleasure to read high-quality papers that are highly recommended by their peers. Especially a paper that solves a global problem, that is definitely the biggest thing in life, bar none.

The most important characteristic of a true theoretical scientist is that he always maintains pure and strong curiosity about the world. Without this characteristic, it would be difficult to continue on the boring path of scientific research.

After all, there are too many temptations from the outside world in this world. The pursuit of science can only be supported by curiosity.

Fortunately, Fan Zhenhua received a reply soon, and then he couldn't wait to open the paper and immersed himself in it. After scanning the title, he focused on the review.

"Sure enough, the level is very high!" This was Fan Zhenhua's judgment after reading the review. Then he did not read the text first as Higginson suggested, but directly started reading the author's introduction. Then the whole person was just like Higginson said. That's not good...

Then for a moment, he also wanted to think about the authenticity of this world!

Occupation is actually a student? ! The unit is Ningjiacun Agricultural Machinery Factory? !

What a wonderful combination is this? What makes him feel even more crazy is that the corresponding author and first author of this paper are only NingJie.

In other words, this paper was completed independently by students from a certain Chinese rural agricultural machinery factory?

He probably understood the meaning of Higginson's words. No wonder he was asked to confirm whether the paper was actually completed by the author independently. He also understood why after inviting himself to be a reviewer, the editor-in-chief of "Annals of Mathematics" invited Lu Zhengyue. .

This is because you are worried about him! Afraid that he would take the results as his own, so he specially found two reviewers in China to supervise each other?

Well, that's as it should be.

Really, the moment he saw the author's introduction, Fan Zhenhua was really excited.

Although he hasn't read the text yet, if, as Higginson said, this paper solved the Navier-Stokes equation problem and reached a consensus in the academic community, the World Congress of Mathematicians to be held in Brazil next year will definitely be If you want to send out more invitation letters, you may even directly invite the author to give a report, and it will be a top report at the opening ceremony!

If the academic community reaches a consensus quickly enough, next year's Fields Medal may be awarded directly to the author of this paper!

If this paper was completed independently by one of his students, he would really dare to argue and make an exception for his student to apply for a mathematics academician of the Academy of Sciences. He could even guarantee that the next academician selection would definitely pass.

But what the hell are students at an agricultural machinery factory? !

Yes, there were a lot of bad trends in the academic world before China, such as primary school students doing science and researching SCI, and middle school students doing homework on cancer. But the results of those so-called papers and innovations are actually not dazzling, and they are nothing more than ordinary academic parents giving their children Brush up your resume. But Fan Zhenhua couldn't even figure it out. Which academic master is so stupid that he would use such world-class achievements, which are qualified for the Fields Medal, to build his children's resumes?

Not to mention, which Chinese mathematics master would stay in a small county without a university or research institute?

There is no wind in the office, but Fan Zhenhua's brain is still messy.

There were so many weird things about it that he couldn't wrap his head around it at all.

Fortunately, with Higginson's previous spoilers, Fan Zhenhua did not remain stunned for long and began to study the main text. Then, just like Robert Cairney, editor-in-chief of the Annals of Mathematics, who first read the paper, he fell into it.

Until you carefully read the preparatory knowledge points of the paper and the proof process of the first complete theorem in the paper. A preliminary understanding came from the author's idea of ​​approximating the solution obtained by the TH element iteration method to the discrete solution of the SV hybrid finite element through multiple iterations, thereby obtaining the discrete velocity solution and the continuous discrete pressure solution whose divergence tends to zero.

And when he subconsciously raised his head and wanted to continue thinking about this method, he found that there was a slight light outside the window.

I looked at my phone and it was already 5:28 in the morning. But he didn't feel sleepy at all, and his mind was still filled with the intricate mathematical formulas in the paper. The question swirling in my mind is, can it still be like this?

Very interesting!

Some not-so-good information suddenly popped into my mind.

Wait, Higginson seemed to have said when he called that Lu Zhengyue was also invited to be a reviewer?

With that annoying face in his mind, Fan Zhenhua immediately opened the drawer and started rummaging through it. Soon he found an internal telephone directory of Yanbei University. Then he picked up the phone and dialed according to the information in the phone book, regardless of whether it would disturb people's sleep at this time.

If nothing works the first time, try the second time...

Until someone finally answered...

"Hey, is this Teacher Xu from the Nanhu Province Admissions Team?"

"Ah, I am, who are you?" Although the honorific was used, the tone was actually not polite. After all, being suddenly woken up from a sweet dream is definitely not a good experience.

"I'm Fan Zhenhua from the School of Mathematics. I want to ask you. Do you know that there is Ningjia Village in Luoyu County, Dongyu City in Nanhu Province?"

"Oh, it's Academician Fan. Hello, hello. I have an impression of Dongyu City, but I don't know much about the county seat below. I have to ask."

"That's it. Then help me quickly and ask. I'll book a high-speed rail ticket to go to Star City later. Why don't we meet at the Star City high-speed rail station? Could you please help me find out how to get to Luoyu County from Star City?"

"Of course, no problem. How about you add me on WeChat, which is this mobile phone number? After you book the tickets, send me your arrival time and ID number, and I can arrange the next journey?"

"Okay, I'll trouble you, Comrade Xu."

"No trouble, no trouble."

"By the way, have you ever heard of a student named Ning Zi?"

"Huh? No impression."

Hearing this answer, Fan Zhenhua was not surprised. After all, the head of the admissions team of a county or province would definitely not go to a small county with no reputation.

"Okay, hang up now, I will contact you later."

"Okay, I'll wait for your news!"
