Chapter 938: Strict Censorship
Guo Haitao said this completely reasonable.
Although he has now confirmed that Duan Yun did prove the Hodge conjecture, there are still great variables whether Duan Yun can become the first person in the world to solve this world-class mathematical problem before the paper is published.
There are many mathematicians in history who are studying the mathematical problems they have figured out, and many people have a similar time to solve the problems, but because the international community is to formally determine the solver at the time of publishing a formal paper, so that some mathematicians are obviously the first to study this topic, but because the time of the release of the paper is a little late, or even a day or two away, they are finally taken away by others who belong to their own honor, and even such examples abound, not uncommon!
It was precisely with this in mind that Guo Haitao called Jiang Chengdong overnight, urgently asking for the two to meet tomorrow.
In addition, Duan Yun's paper is so difficult and of great significance that it is extremely rare even in the entire Chinese academic community!
"Old Guo, did you drink too much today?" After hearing Guo Haitao's words, Jiang Chengdong was obviously a little displeased, after all, Huaqing submits too many papers every year, and Jiang Chengdong's willingness to directly review Duan Yun's papers has already given Guo Haitao enough face, after all, not everyone in Huaqing can get such 'care'.
"I didn't drink much, I was sober. Guo Haitao pondered for a while, and then said: "I repeat, this paper is of great significance, if the publication time is delayed, you and I can't afford this responsibility!"
"Forehead ......" Jiang Chengdong was taken aback when he heard this.
Jiang Chengdong knows that Guo Haitao has always been a person with a rigorous style and a humble personality, and he never likes to boast in front of outsiders.
If Guo Haitao really said that this paper was very important, then he would never be joking, so after hearing this, Jiang Chengdong was stunned for a moment, and then said very simply: "Then you come to my office tomorrow morning, and we will have a face-to-face interview!"
"Hmm. After Guo Haitao answered, Jiang Chengdong on the other end of the phone immediately hung up the phone.
After putting down the phone, Guo Haitao let out a sigh of relief and sat down at the dining table.
"This dish seems to be a little cold, so I'll help you heat it up again." Opening the lid of the pot, Zhao Ru glanced at the food inside, and said to Guo Haitao with a frown.
"No need!" Guo Haitao shook his head when he heard this, and then said: "Even if I eat ice ballast tonight, my heart will be hot!"
……
Early the next morning, Guo Haitao strode to the president's office of Huaqing University with a document bag.
"Sit!" After Jiang Chengdong saw Guo Haitao coming, he motioned for him to sit down, with a serious look on his face.
Although he was skeptical of Guo Haitao's words, Jiang Chengdong interrupted his rare vacation and returned to Huaqing University.
The reason for this is actually because Guo Haitao has a special status in the academic world, and Jiang Chengdong still has to give face.
But if the paper that Guo Haitao showed him was not of high value, then although Jiang Chengdong would not be mad in person, he would definitely give him a little 'punishment', after all, as the principal, he still needs to maintain his authority in the school!
"Principal Jiang, this is the paper written by my apprentice Duan Yun, you can take a look at it. At this time, Guo Haitao took out a document that had been printed last night from his briefcase and handed it to Jiang Chengdong.
"Hmm. Jiang Chengdong nodded when he heard this, and took the paper from Guo Haitao's hand.
"I need President Jiang to send this paper to the editorial department of top foreign mathematics journals as soon as possible. Guo Haitao added.
"Hehe, Lao Guo, I always have to eat little by little, and I also need to read the paper little by little, academic is rigorous, if there is any omission in this paper, it will damage the reputation of our school. When Jiang Chengdong heard this, he smiled and said to Guo Haitao.
"I have read this paper last night, the thinking is clear, the logic is rigorous, there are no mistakes, I vouch for it with my personal reputation. Guo Haitao said.
"Lao Guo, don't worry, how about we talk about it after I finish reading this paper?" Jiang Chengdong said with a calm face.
"Good...... All right. Guo Haitao sighed when he heard this, he also saw that it was useless for him to be in a hurry, after all, it really took time to review the published paper, so he had to sit aside and wait.
Seeing Guo Haitao sitting still, Jiang Chengdong shook his head slightly, then opened the file bag and took out the papers inside.
And when Jiang Chengdong glanced at the title of the paper, he was stunned for a moment.
"Arguments and Reasoning on Hodge's Conjecture!?" After a moment, Jiang Chengdong couldn't help but exclaim.
Although Jiang Chengdong's main business is not mathematics, as the principal of Huaqing, his knowledge is far more than comparable, and he has studied and understood almost all subjects to a greater or lesser extent.
In the early years, Huaqing University also experienced a similar 'academic*' process, in the final analysis, some Huaqing leaders at that time were so happy that they wanted Huaqing University to rank among the world's top universities in a short period of time, so they ignored the objective laws of academic research and concentrated a large number of top academic experts to write world-class papers, in an attempt to create a sensational effect in the world's academic circles.
Among the topics of these papers, the cracking of Hodge's conjecture was one of the key thesis projects, and Guo Haitao was also involved in this project at Huaqing University at that time.
However, the final result was very disappointing, it took more than half a year for all the teachers and students of the school, and the result of the school's formulation of the 'Ten Key Papers' was unsuccessful, and finally ended dismally, and this incident eventually led to the resignation of many school leaders including the principal at that time, and even became a 'joke' in the Chinese academic community for a time.
Therefore, as one of the witnesses of this event at that time, Jiang Chengdong, who was only a lecturer at the time, was quite impressed by Hodge's conjecture of the world's top mathematical problems, and until now, he still thinks that this mathematical problem is almost unsolvable, and the difficulty is so high that it has even exceeded the difficulty limit of human reach!
So much so that when he saw the title of Duan Yun's paper, the first thought that flashed through Jiang Chengdong's mind was impossible!
"President Jiang, I think you should know what kind of sensational effect this paper will cause to the entire mathematical community once it is published. At this time, after Guo Haitao saw Jiang Chengdong's expression, he said softly on the side.
"Are you really sure that there are no errors in this paper?" At this moment, even a top Chinese mathematician like Guo Haitao, Jiang Chengdong couldn't help but start to question it.
"As I said, I vouch for my character and reputation, that this paper is indeed flawless. Guo Haitao said.
"No, I still need the approval of other experts to pass this paper. As Jiang Chengdong spoke, he picked up the phone on the desk.
