God's Crown

I am afraid that those who are surprised will only have more or less.

However, Anyan is now in the countryside. Given the current environment here, it is simply impossible to upload the paper on the twin prime number conjecture to arXiv.He can probably only study the problem he discovered before. As for whether those experts and professors on arXiv will be shocked, it is completely out of An Yan's consideration right now.

After replying Professor Li Bo's text message, An Yan was caught by his father.Seeing that he was still sending messages, he asked, "Who are you sending messages to? You are so energetic."

"No, no one." An Yan stuck out her tongue slightly and said, "I just sent a message to a professor at Peking University to tell him something.

An Zhi gave a little grace, and then said, "An Yan, you should go to rest now, I think you are quite tired."

Also, An Yan's face was full of exhaustion, even looking at him felt that he was quite tired.He yawned and said, "Then I'm going to bed first." Turning around, he thought, wondering if he could borrow a computer to access the arXiv website here, so he turned around and said, "Dad, this Is there an internet cafe nearby?"

"You want to go online?" An Yang, who was about to set off fireworks, turned his head and looked at An Yan.

"It's not going online, it's putting my thesis online."

"Ah, why is this thing on the Internet?" Anyang didn't understand. "But if you want to borrow a computer, I can take you to my comrade's house. It seems that his house has a computer. The distance is not too far away." ..."

"How long will it take?" An Zhi asked Anyang, "If it's a long way to go, why don't you drive there? Can you drive to your comrade's house?"

"That's definitely possible."

"Can you drive?"

"I can drive, but I don't have a driver's license. I guess it won't work on the road." Anyang shook his head.

"Forget it, show me the way tomorrow, and I'll take you there."

"Okay!" An Yan showed a smile, and happily went back to the room to sleep.

After a night of nothing, An Yan woke up and took a shower the next morning.An Zhi and An Yang had already finished breakfast and were waiting for him in the yard, An Yan left the room after having breakfast.Walking into the yard, he saw Anzhi and Anyang waiting for him in the yard, chatting while waiting for him.Walking in front of the two, "I've finished eating, shall we go now?"

Holding the draft paper in his hand, he looked at the two of them.

"Let's go." An Zhi patted An Yan's shoulder and said, "How long will your thesis take?"

"I don't know, it will probably take a few days." An Yan said holding the draft paper, dumbfounded, "The main reason is that it is still very difficult to upload all this stuff online. I am going to go home and get this stuff, but I thought about it. It’s better to post it online now.”

"What website?" Anyang asked along the mouth, "Is there such a website dedicated to reading papers on the Internet?"

"arXiv." An Yan said, "is a preprint website in the United States. Almost all academic papers from around the world will be posted on the arXiv website as a backup. To prevent someone from obstructing the submission of journals. Also leave a reservation for your own papers. Next evidence, and even provide some professional discussions. Many professors will browse on the arXiv website, and will evaluate if they see interesting papers.”

"And these professors may be reviewers of professional journals. The biggest difference between arXiv and professional academic journals is that there is no peer review system."

"Peer review?" Anyang asked wonderingly, "What kind of system is this?"

"For example, I made an academic-related paper and submitted it to some academic journals. The editors of these academic journals may not be able to understand my paper. At this time, they need to find some authors with enough weight in this field. , and professors or scholars with rich research experience will review whether my paper is right or wrong." An Yan patiently explained to Anyang.

"So that's the case, that is, after the paper is sent to an academic journal, it has to be reviewed by those experts and scholars before it can be published?"

"That's right, the editor usually only looks at the format. If there is no problem with the format, he will forward the email I sent to another academic journal to invite reviewers for review. If the review passes, it will be published. .If the audit results are seriously inconsistent with the conclusions of the paper, it will be called back."

"In short, this is a very troublesome thing."

"Are there many academic journals?"

"There must be a lot. For example, the mathematics application newsletter I want to contribute to is an SCI journal in the first district, which is a very professional academic journal in mathematics." An Yan looked at Anyang with a half-understanding expression on his face, "SCI journals are somewhat troublesome to explain, that is, the Science Citation Index, EI (Engineering Index), and ISTP (Science and Technology Conference Proceedings Index) are the three world-famous scientific and technological literature retrieval systems, and are internationally recognized as the main scientific statistics and scientific evaluation. Search tool.①"

"The impact factor is the total number of citations of the papers published by a journal in the previous two years divided by the total number of papers published by the journal in the two years. It is an internationally used journal evaluation index, and it is not only useful for measuring journals It is not only an indicator of sex and visibility, but also an important indicator to measure the academic level of journals and even the quality of papers. The impact factor is a relative statistic.②”

"That's what I said, brother Yangyang, can you understand me?"

"I seem to understand a little bit." An Yang scratched his head, thought carefully, and seemed to understand what An Yan just said.That is to say, SCI journals in one area are the most core and authoritative journals in a certain field.

An Yan smiled and said, "Brother Yangyang, it's good that you understand."

"Then is this paper submitted for an academic journal in Huaguo?"

Hearing An Yang's words, An Yan's face instantly became a little ugly.

Anyang didn't know what was going on, and asked, "What's wrong with Xiaoyan? Why is your face so ugly all of a sudden?"

"It's not what I said. The current academic journals in Huaguo... are really incomparable with foreign countries."

"Why can't we compare?"

"How to say this matter." An Yan frowned and said, "One is because of Taishui's relationship, and the other is because the main domestic submissions, especially the Chinese Academy of Sciences, are currently based on SCI, EI and ISTP. So ...For now, Huaguo's academic journals can't keep up with Huaguo's research speed. Moreover, it is impossible for well-known professors to submit papers to domestic academic journals. It's in foreign academic journals." When talking about this, An Yan covered his face and said, "At present, there is still a certain distance for foreign countries to do academic journals, especially if they want to make achievements. "

"After all, the development of foreign countries is much earlier than that of China, especially the scientific background, which is much deeper than that of Huaguo. Over the years, Huaguo's basic talents have caught up, but on the issue of academic journals, there is still a certain amount of time to catch up. Distance. It’s like the universities in Huaguo now. To be honest, Huaguo’s universities are not ranked low in the world. But compared with those schools with a history of hundreds of years, they are still a little bit worse.”

"In terms of academics, Huaguo pays more attention to practical applications. However, because the infrastructure of foreign schools has already been completed, the academic atmosphere of schools is generally extremely free. It will take some time for Huaguo to achieve this."

After An Yan said so much, An Yang said inexplicably, "Does that mean that we in China are still not as good as foreign schools?"

"It's not that it can't be compared, but if you want to catch up with the leader, it will take some time. It's impossible to do everything well today, catch up tomorrow, and surpass the day after tomorrow. This is unrealistic."

"Yes, after all, there is still a gap between domestic and foreign countries."

"As long as we face the gap squarely, it will be a matter of time before we catch up with foreign countries. However, those bad things in academia can be found in any country, not just in China." When talking about this, An Yan frowned. Rubbing the space between his brows, he lay down on the chair and closed his eyes to meditate.

Anyang was thinking about An Yan's words, but didn't say much.

Until An Zhi drove the car to the home of his comrades-in-arms in Anyang, and his comrades went home with him.When they saw Anyang coming, the comrades warmly greeted them to come in and sit down, poured water, and brought out snacks.Anyang directly explained the purpose of coming, that he wanted to borrow a computer to use.

The comrade-in-arms naturally agreed, An Yan sat in front of the computer, while An Yan, his comrade-in-arms and An Yan's father were bragging.

Turning on the computer, An Yan did not directly log in to the arXiv website.Instead, he took out the scratch paper and typed the calculations he had made on the scratch paper on the computer.

Time passed quickly, and when his comrades invited them to dinner at noon, An Yan was still copying the calculation content on the draft paper to the computer.

"Let's eat first, let's do it after dinner." Anyang walked to his side and said, "How much have you written? Can you finish it today?"

"It probably won't be finished today, maybe it should be almost finished tomorrow."

"That's fine, you can do it today, and we can come tomorrow." After speaking, An Yan also went out to eat with An Yang.

In fact, An Yan was embarrassed to hear it. It felt like going to someone else's house to grab a meal after the Chinese New Year.It was a bit embarrassing, but fortunately, the host didn't seem to care so much, and was quite enthusiastic.

At the dinner table, Anyang's comrade-in-arms asked An Yan, "What's the matter with you borrowing the computer? I think you've been working on the computer all morning. You must be very busy."

An Yan smiled embarrassedly and said, "It's just a paper. I have to type this paper up, post it online, and finally submit it to an academic journal. It's a bit troublesome. Originally, I wanted to reply I made it at home, but when I got home, I was afraid that I might not understand the content on the draft paper. So, I thought, send this paper out now."

Because of inspiration, An Yan actually abbreviated a lot of things on the draft paper, which he can still understand in the past few days.In a few days, he may not be able to understand it.This is another important reason why he is so anxious to publish the paper on arXiv.

"Well, it's still an academic paper." Anyang's comrade-in-arms said with a smile, "It's amazing, which university are you from?"

Seeing that Anyang's comrade-in-arms seems to be quite familiar with domestic universities, Anyang introduced and said, "He is also a student of Yucheng University."

"I'm from the University of Zurich." A slight smile appeared on the corner of An Yan's mouth, "I'm from the Department of Physics."

"Boss!" Anyang's comrade-in-arms introduced himself politely, "My surname is Wu, and the single name is Jun."

"Hello, An Yan."

"How do you feel about studying physics at the University of Zurich?"

"I don't have any special impressions, so that's it. In fact, it is similar to that in China, except for the academic atmosphere. The University of Zurich should be better than most schools in China. That's all."

"It's terrible, it's terrible." Wu Jun seemed to be a chatterbox, talking endlessly while talking with An Yan.

Speaking of which, Wu Junren looks like a cold and handsome young man, but as soon as he speaks, he knows that this guy is probably a chatterbox.In the army, I'm afraid it's not suffocating.After asking An Yan several questions, I finally found out that this guy is studying engineering.

"By the way, boss, what paper did you write?"

"The paper on the twin prime number conjecture." An Yan said politely, "It's just a paper not worth mentioning."

"The twin prime number conjecture is not worth mentioning? Boss, do you have any misunderstandings about twin prime numbers?"

…………

After staying at Wu Jun's house for two days, An Yan almost finished writing and editing the thesis on twin prime numbers.He then uploaded the paper to the arXiv website and emailed it to the Mathematics Applied Newsletter.After he was done, he returned home with An Zhi and the others.

After returning home, An Yan did not rest, but studied the previous problem.

When he solved the twin prime number conjecture before, he discovered another problem about prime numbers. At this time, he began to study it.

While researching, he explained math problems to Anyang.

The time in his hometown passed quite quickly, and occasionally An Hong would come to ask him some questions.When it was time to go home, An Yan didn't know that on the arXiv website, the discussion on the twin prime number conjecture had reached a fever pitch.

Especially experts in number theory are all stupid.

Has anyone really solved the twin prime number conjecture?How is it possible, how could this really solve the twin prime conjecture?And looking at the name, it seems that in other mathematics literature and journals, they did not find that this person has other papers on mathematics.

This guy looks like he just published his first math paper, and after searching for a while, this guy looks like he just popped out of a crack in the rock.

Being able to study the twin prime number conjecture should have published papers on number theory before. After all, the twin prime number conjecture itself is a difficult point.It is simply impossible to unravel the twin prime conjecture without prior research.And before unraveling this conjecture, he should have published related papers, but it doesn't look like he has published related papers, and even the name is very unfamiliar to them.

It was as if this person appeared out of nowhere.

But they found another paper by An Yan through searching, and that paper was about graphene experiments.

This is... a little embarrassing. A person who does physics has solved the number theory problem of twin prime numbers.There is almost no intersection between physics and number theory. Generally speaking, people who do physics study topological equations. I didn't expect this guy to go to study number theory, and even let him research it.

Everyone began to calculate whether the answer given by An Yan could solve the twin prime number conjecture, although it took only a few days for An Yan to solve it.But when doing calculations, it is impossible for everyone to figure out this problem in a few days.It is even possible to start the calculation. At this time, there is a lot of disputes on arXiv.

Some people say that An Yan has solved the twin prime number conjecture, but some people think that An Yan is just grandstanding.It is an insult to number theory that so many number theory experts have spent so much effort and failed to make the twin prime conjecture.

They think that An Yan has not solved the conjecture, but just thinks that he has solved the conjecture.

But real experts have already begun to calculate whether the solution given by An Yan can solve the twin prime number conjecture. Everyone has no time to gossip on the Internet, but is seriously calculating.

Probably because of the Chinese New Year, An Yan was not disturbed.Despite the heated debate on arXiv, no one called to ask what was going on with An Yan.

Very few people know about An Yan's phone number, especially after he conjectured twin primes.There must be more people asking for An Yan's phone number, but there are not many people who can get An Yan's phone number, especially when he is still on vacation, it is even less likely that someone will disturb him.

So he was able to calm down to study other prime number problems, and make a mathematical model of the flow field by the way.

When doing the flow field, An Yan encountered a few problems and still couldn't figure it out.At this time, he thought that the turbulence laboratory of Peking University itself is one of the top turbulence laboratories in Asia, and it can even be regarded as a top laboratory in the whole world.If you can borrow the turbulence laboratory... that must be a very good thing.

When thinking of this, An Yan called Professor Li Bo.

When receiving the call from An Yan, Professor Li Bo was browsing An Yan's thesis.That's right, the twin primes paper published on arXiv.He is a professor of physics, but it doesn't mean he doesn't understand number theory. On the contrary, he still has research on number theory.It's not much worse than the average math professor, and I'm looking at it here.

Suddenly a phone call came, which shocked him.Thinking about who called him at this point in time?After he learned that An Yanjin's paper had been published on arXiv, he returned to the capital from his hometown in a hurry.The purpose is to see how An Yan's thesis is. To be honest, he is not particularly optimistic about An Yan's solution to the twin prime number conjecture.

He felt that there was probably an error somewhere in An Yan, and he mistakenly thought that he had calculated it.Originally, checking calculations was an extremely arduous and repetitive task. If some faults were picked out, An Yan's reputation would be bad.

Picking up the phone, he saw that it was An Yan calling him.

Thinking in his heart, he originally planned to find An Yan, but he actually called him himself.
