I reach the pinnacle of life by learning

Qiao Yu got in touch with a senior who posted a post a long time ago, whose ID is Wen Zaiye.

He directly sent a private message on the forum: Hello senior, I would like to know how to submit articles to the Journal of Mathematics, can you tell me about it?

Moon Jae-ye is 25 this year and is currently studying abroad at Bridging Institute of Technology.

There was a 6-hour time difference between Sweden and China, and it was eight o'clock in the evening when he received the news.

Sweden is a small country, but it has a well-developed machinery manufacturing and military industry.

The scholars here, especially the academicians of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, always attract attention because of the existence of the Nobel Prize.

In addition, the existence of "Acta Mathematica" also adds a legendary color to the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences.

After all, this is the top 1 existence in the mathematics circle.

Wen Zaiye has also received many inquiries from his juniors over the years, but except for a few people who are extremely inflated and do not understand the weight of the "Annual of Mathematics" at all, they will never ask about its submission method of.

Wen Zaiye couldn't help turning his gaze to the other party's information.

This person is quite naive, and the registration information is not hidden at all, so Wen Zaiye can know that the other party is called Qiao Yu, who just entered this year and is in Class 1 of the Department of Biology.

Each class with serial number 01 has a different name. For example, the Department of Biology is called Intensive Class, the Department of Mathematics is called Qiu Chengtong Class, and the Department of Physics is called Yang Zhenning Class... Those who can enter Class 1 are usually those with the highest college entrance examination scores in that year. A group of students.

In some classes, there are several provincial champions.

However, those with a score of 700 in the college entrance examination have a huge advantage over 500, but among a group of people with a score of 600 to 700, it is not surprising.

Wen Zaiye vaguely felt that the name sounded familiar.

He searched on Baidu, and unexpectedly found that the other party had an entry.

Although the content is not much, Wen Zaye saw two of the more famous ones.

The first is the previous teaching experience and variety shows on the online class platform.

The second is the champion of the 15-year science college entrance examination in Changning Province.

After the results of the college entrance examination came out, she was also searched because of her good looks...

He finally remembered when he had heard the name before.

About two years ago, Wen Zaye majored in marketing as an undergraduate, and the teacher used this person as a case study in class. At that time, he was only a freshman in high school, and their classmates all said that this high school student was a nb.

Because of this relationship, Wen Zaiye did not directly reject him.

Instead, he accepted his friend request.

After graduating from Yanda University, he didn't often log on to the campus BBS on the intranet.

After finally going up there and meeting him again, that was fate.

Wen Jae-ye: What are you going to vote for?

Qiao Yu: Twin prime conjecture and Goldbach conjecture.

Wen Zaye: ...

The current students are really good with personality.

Wen Zaiye hesitated for a moment, and tentatively asked: Why don't you show me first?

Acta Mathematica is a quarterly journal published twice a year.The next issue will be next month. In principle, there should be no call for papers.Even if there are papers that can be published, it will take half a year.

However, Wen Jae-ye's current supervisor is an academician of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences and one of the reviewers of the "Acta Mathematics".

If this junior really proves these two conjectures, then he can get rid of this old face and ask his mentor to forcefully plug him.

Qiao Yu: I can send you the proof of Goldbach's conjecture.

The process of brother guessing was proved by Qiao Qianlong, and a large part of the process used the result of the twin prime number conjecture.

If twin prime numbers cannot be proved, then these dozens of pages of papers are almost like waste paper.

Wen Zaiye thought for a moment and thought it was okay.

Moments later, he received the PDF file.

Wen Zai's undergraduate economics and graduate mathematics, he thinks that his mathematics level should be better than 90.00% of the people in the world.It shouldn't be difficult to act as a reviewer and read Qiao Yu's paper.

But soon, he fell silent facing the screen.

Ok……

How to put it, Mr. Qiu Chengtong once said that in the field of mathematics, if an article has a high citation rate, it proves that the content of the article is not deep enough to be easily understood.

Moon Jae-ye responded a few hours later.

Wen Jae-ye: My mentor read it.He said that the editorial department has not reviewed manuscripts in the past month, but he can give you the editor-in-chief's private email address and write you a letter of recommendation.

Editorial Office of Journal of Mathematics.

Daniel's private mailbox has received two new mailboxes.

One is an email from Professor Byrne, the reviewer of "Acta Mathematica Sinica".Daniel opened it and found that it was actually a letter of recommendation.

Professor Byrne said he had received a paper from one of his Chinese students, but he could not yet confirm its authenticity.I hope that the editor of the journal can send him to other professors.If true, this paper is enough to go down in the annals of mathematics.By the way, the contributor of this paper is Qiao Yu.

The other one was an email from someone whose account was Qiao Yu.

Although the academic circle is very large, overall it is a very closed circle.The same unknown contributors, with or without recommendation letters, are completely different treatments.

Daniel immediately took 12 points of attention to this submission.He sat upright in front of the computer and clicked on the email after feeling ready.

"Proof of the Twin Prime Number Conjecture", author: Qiao Yu.

"Proof of Goldbach's Conjecture", author: Qiao Qianlong.

Daniel's whole body was shaken, and he even became cautious when breathing.

Then, he opened the mail.

……

……

Professor Hilton is 67 this year. He is Jewish. He is used to using the black-frame reading glasses given by his daughter. He often has a smile in his eyes and looks very easy-going.

He is a mathematician.

If a scholar who has won the Fields Medal, the Wolf Medal and the Abel Prize dare not call himself a mathematician, then I am afraid that few people in the world dare to call themselves a mathematician.

The difficulty of obtaining these three awards at the same time is almost equivalent to the "three yuan and rank" under the imperial examination system in feudal society.

He works at Yale University, and his temper is recognized as good. When students joke with him, he can also respond with a smile.

Every year in the student poll, Gregory Hilton's popularity is always top-notch.

But it was just such a professor who lost his temper this morning, and his angry voice almost resounded throughout the floor: "Don't interrupt me!"

The cause of the incident was that the teaching assistant forgot to knock on the door when he entered his office.

Then Professor Hilton said that he would go home and work for a week, or two weeks.

"Don't call me unless there's a fire in the school library. I have important work."

After speaking, he took his computer and drove away in a hurry.

Hilton was so surprised.

He received an email from the editorial department of "Acta Mathematics", inviting him to be a reviewer.

Editor-in-Chief Daniel said: "Besides you, we really can't think of a better candidate."

The field of Hilton's research is group theory and number theory. The direction of number theory is further divided into analytic number theory.

Number theory is a highly abstract subject. For a long time, the development of number theory has been in the state of pure theoretical research.

Moreover, there have been no breakthroughs in recent years.

Therefore, God knows how shocked Hilton was when he saw the title of the paper.

That's why he hurried home.Relatively speaking, the school was not quiet enough, and Hilton had a hunch that he might not be able to resist staying up late.

A week later.

Daniel cautiously called Professor Hilton.

"Professor, I'm sorry to bother you. I don't know the previous two papers, have you finished reviewing?"

Hilton was furious: "This is twin prime numbers and Goldbach's conjecture, you only give me a week to make sure?"

"Because there are 20 days left until the publication date of "Acta Mathematica Sinica"... If there are no problems with those two papers, I think such an important academic achievement should not wait for another half year." Daniel carefully considered the words.

In fact, the paper of this issue of "Acta Mathematica Sinica" has been finalized.The printing factory was supposed to start ten days ago, but was stopped by Daniel.

The reason is as he said.

As long as Hilton's review passes, the editorial department will immediately reorganize the layout and move a few unimportant papers to the next issue to make room for these two papers.

He thought he would be reprimanded by Hilton, but Hilton nodded in agreement: "Indeed. But it's really not possible now."

"I didn't see any problems, which means it's probably right," Hilton couldn't hold back, and repeated the sentence, "It's

right."

"Give me another week, I need to be more cautious."

Because of getting older, Hilton has not had such a high-intensity job for a long time.

He hangs up the phone and circles around like a hyperactive rooster.

"Who will write this paper? Frank? Edmund or Furstenberg?" A few well-known names in the academic circle flashed through his mind, and then slowly shook his head, "If it was them, they would have Just hyped it up and held an academic conference. How could it be so low-key that I can't hear any wind?"

Doing academic work is very lonely, especially doing pure mathematical research.

A cup of tea, a pack of cigarettes, and a formula count as a day.

Therefore, whenever there is any achievement, scholars can't help holding seminars in their own universities to communicate with their peers.Of course, the main thing is to speak by yourself and listen to your peers.

But no matter who proved it, Hilton's heart is full of admiration at this time.

During Yanjing University's military training for half a month, Qiao Yu stayed in the hospital for half a month.

Anyway, the hospital is a VIP ward, one room per person, like a hotel, more comfortable than a dormitory.

During this period, Qun Chengguang, who claimed to be a medical student, came here once.

This person looked quite young, with chestnut curly hair, and started laughing after speaking a few words, with light dimples on both cheeks.

Qiao Yu was not completely unconscious at the time, so he had a slight impression of Qun Chengguang.

"My grandfather has cardiovascular disease, so I learned a lot of first aid measures from doctors." Qun Chengguang took out a mangosteen from the fruit basket, peeled the skin and took a bite, "But I am not a medical student. I’m only saying this because it’s urgent, so that other people don’t listen to the command. I’m from the School of Mathematics. I live in Jianghuai City, my height is 178 and my weight is 135. I like singing, dancing, rap and salmon sashimi…”

Qun Chengguang was eloquent, his anger was like a river.

Qiao Yu had no doubts, given a little more time, the other party would be able to reveal all his bank card passwords.

Qiao Yu hurriedly completed the discharge procedures on the eve of the start of school.

It is only two blocks from the Third Hospital of Yanyi Medical University to the school, Song Tianyu insisted on driving him, and plausibly said: "It's so hot in Yanjing recently, what if you faint from the heat?"

Qiao Yu couldn't resist him, so he got into the Maybach.

Song Tianyu got a driver's license after graduating from high school. Although it was not the first time to drive on the road, he was very cautious when driving, mainly because he was afraid of Qiao Yu's motion sickness.

It's a good Maybach, which is driving at the same speed as an electric three-wheeler, and the driver behind is so angry that he honks his horn.

Song Tianyu turned a deaf ear, and said to Qiao Yu earnestly: "Don't stay up late in the future, it's not good for your heart."

Qiao Yu said: "I have a good schedule and never stay up late."

"Really? You slept at my house back then, and you had to get up secretly to do your homework at two o'clock in the middle of the night."

It's annoying to see you hypocritical academic masters!

Qiao Yu: "..."

There is no need to remember this kind of thing.

Fortunately, the sudden notification tone from the phone just allowed Qiao Yu to ignore this topic.

He lowered his head and looked at the screen.It shows that a new email has been received in the mailbox.

Qiao Yu opened it and found that it was a reply letter from the editor of "Acta Mathematics".

Maybe it was Wen Zaye's mentor's recommendation letter that played a role. This time, the review process was much faster than he expected.

A smile could not help showing on his face.

Song Tianyu saw Qiao Yu suddenly smirking at the phone from the rearview mirror of the car, and the alarm bell rang in his heart for a moment: "Why did you suddenly laugh?"

Qiao Yu put away the phone, and his expression returned to calm: "It's not a big deal. The editor said that the paper is overdue and there's no need to fix it."
