XXXVIII. From parable to parable

Jiang Shuiyuan replied angrily: "Forgive me for being so ignorant, I have never heard of Archimedes' law of buoyancy, and I have never heard of Newton's signature on the name of the apple that smashed him when he published "The Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy"!"

"But when it comes to Archimedes' law of buoyancy, who doesn't know the crown? Speaking of Newton's gravitational pull, who doesn't know the apple that smashed him? If you don't sign me, who will know that this constant is my inspiration to you in the future?" Pu Xiaoxiang snorted angrily and said: "I don't care! If you don't sign me, I'll go to the head teacher and the principal right now, and say that you are bullying people while there is no one in the class!"

"Okay, good, good, even if you are ruthless, can't you convince you?" Jiang Shuiyuan couldn't help but give her a thumbs up, "But don't think about the signature, at most add a sentence at the end of the article, saying that it is inspired by you." If this doesn't work, you can go to the old class and the principal to cry, and see if you can get married in the future!"

"If I can't get married, I'll marry you!" Pu Xiaoxiang said with a red face, "By the way, I heard that it is difficult to send papers, do you want me to help you contact and see if it can be published in the Journal of Jingshi University?"

Jiang Shuiyuan suddenly put his hand on his forehead: "Girl, you are thinking too much! This kind of essay has no substantive content, at most it is a little novel in its opinion, so that others will think that this is the case, and if it can be published in "Middle School Mathematics Education" or "Journal of Huai'an Prefecture Normal School", it will burn high incense, and you still hope to be published in the "Journal of Jingshi University"? In other words, do you know what kind of journal "Journal of Jingshi University" is?"

"Of course I know!" Pu Xiaoxiang was very dissatisfied with the ridicule revealed in Jiang Shuiyuan's words, "Isn't it a comprehensive academic journal sponsored by Jingshi University? Since they are all academic journals, don't they have to publish papers like the Journal of Huai'an Prefecture Normal School?"

"It's right to be listed in the same paper, but the paper to be registered is completely different!" Jiang Shuiyuan explained, "It's like you and Zhang Mingyue, you do the same thing every day." It's nothing more than eating, sleeping, and going to school, but in the eyes of your classmates, can you be the same? It seems that no simple student in our school has said this: Anyway, Pu Xiaoxiang and Zhang Mingyue are both women, and they both eat, sleep, and go to school equally.

"If it's you, who are you chasing me or Zhang Mingyue?" asked Pu Xiaoxiang rhetorically.

"Of course it's Zhang Mingyue!" Jiang Shuiyuan's answer was so angry that Pu Xiaoxiang's eyebrows were raised, but he continued to say regardless of it: "If I were a tall and mighty Xiaokai, a jade tree in the wind, a spender of money, and a luxurious family. It is like a match made in heaven with the beautiful and moon-looking, ice and snow smart, dusty, and loved by everyone, so it is naturally Miss Pu, after all, there are still a few people in this world who have heavy tastes. But now I am from a small family, I am very good-looking, and my brain is stupid, how can I climb to the bright and moving Miss Pu Da? Rather than being rejected by stubbornly fighting, it is better to aim at the goal that suits me from the beginning, so as not to waste time and effort, and delay my life's events. ”

Pu Xiaoxiang gritted his teeth and said, "But in fact, it is." You're handsome, no, very handsome, and very smart, and that's for all to see!"

"It's just a metaphor!" Jiang Shuiyuan said slowly, "The little essay I wrote is the toad, and the Journal of Jingshi University is swan meat, and I know that I can't eat it." Rather than stalking and eventually being rejected, it is better to aim for the goal that suits you from the beginning. So as not to waste time and effort, and delay your own affairs. ”

Pu Xiaoxiang was a little disdainful: "A big man doesn't even have the courage to do this! How can you know the result if you don't try some things? Maybe other swans like to be eaten by toads like you?"

"I ......" Pu Xiaoxiang's words are so obvious, and Jiang Shuiyuan is not an idiot, how can he not hear what it means. But what does it matter? Does he dare to take this stubble? At the moment, he snorted: "We'll talk about whether we can eat swan meat later, but now we have to eat dinner! Let's go quickly, if we don't leave, we'll be hungry when we go to self-study at night!"

"Good. Go to eat. Pu Xiaoxiang said listlessly, turned around and muttered in a voice that Jiang Shuiyuan could hear: "Eat, eat, eat, you know how to eat! You don't eat what you should eat, you don't eat what you shouldn't, you thief with no heart and no guts!"

――――

After having an idea. Writing a paper is very fast, especially if the paper is not very long. In the afternoon of the next day, Jiang Shuiyuan took this small paper to find Ge Juntian, who was fighting in the stacks of books.

After not seeing him for a few days, Ge Juntian became more and more haggard. Zhang Jin's "quotient high number conjecture" seems to have given him a great blow and motivation, and he has been devoting himself to all kinds of materials these days, and only by achieving greater results can he erase the huge pressure that students bring to him. At this time, seeing Jiang Shuiyuan coming in, Ge Juntian raised his panda eyes and asked hoarsely, "Is there something?"

"I wrote a little essay and wanted you to take a look at it. Jiang Shuiyuan explained his intention straight to the point.

"You have also written a thesis?" At that moment, Ge Juntian was a little distracted, feeling that he had suddenly stepped into the ranks of middle-aged and elderly people, and he could only watch the students produce results one by one, and he could only envy, envy and hate. However, he quickly adjusted his mood and lazily stretched out his hand: "Bring it to me and take a look." If it's clichΓ©s and nonsense, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Jiang Shuiyuan touched his nose: "I don't dare to say anything new, at least it's something that has not been said by anyone before, and what ordinary people have never said, right?"

"The tone is big enough!" Ge Juntian just lowered his head and looked at a few words, and the smile on his face jumped up before it dissipated: "Enter a random number on the scientific calculator, and then press the cos key, and finally this number will always approach a fixed constant of 0.7390851332...... I discovered this when I was in elementary school, okay?"

"Don't get excited!" Jiang Shuiyuan had already seen this kind of surprise more than once in others, "It is true that you discovered this phenomenon when you were in elementary school, but can you imagine that this constant is the fixed point of the only real solution of the equation cos(x)=x and the cosine function y=cos(x)? I even doubt that at that time did you know what the only real solution and the fixed point were! Well, even if you now know what the only real solution and the fixed point are, would you relate it to the constant pressed on the calculator?"

"I-!"

Ge Juntian seemed to want to defend something, but Jiang Shuiyuan didn't give him a chance to speak: "Just like air, the life gas we breathe every day has been layered on the earth's surface before we humans appeared, transparent, colorless and odorless, but before the middle of the 17th century, people's understanding of air was still vague." It was only in the 18th century, through the in-depth study of combustion phenomena and respiration, that the diversity and complexity of air were gradually recognized. In this process, no one can deny Lavoisier's credit for discovering and naming oxygen and nitrogen, right?"

Ge Juntian was furious: "Yes, I didn't expect this, but even if you think of it, what's the point of this? It's just opportunistic and picking up a sesame seed! In order to learn the way, you should be like Zhang Jin, aim at the big goal, be willing to work stupidly, don't keep picking up sesame seeds, and forget to rush forward." How many times have I told you? It takes 10 or 20 years of hard work to get a big watermelon. The Lotus Sutra says, 'There is no joy in small pleasures, small arguments and small wisdom, and those who seek the great will gain great peace'!"

"If you don't pick up sesame seeds, what if you can't pick up watermelons in your life?" wouldn't you return empty-handed and end up hating?" Jiang Shuiyuan retorted.

Ge Juntian suddenly burst into a rage: "You are just going to do this? You are really blind to such a clever head! What do you say, 'return empty-handed, and end up with hatred', you don't even have the courage to pick up watermelons, even if a watermelon is thrown in front of you, do you dare to pick it up? People must have great ambitions, the so-called 'people have great ambitions, where do not fly', only with great ambitions can they understand the joy of learning and bravely overcome the difficulties they will encounter in the future. Do you understand?"

After being scolded by Ge Juntian, Jiang Shuiyuan was a little excited: "Then I'll take the paper back and write it again." ”

"No need to take it back. Although this sesame seed is a little smaller, it is true that most people can't think of it, and it is a bit new to say. Jiang Shuiyuan just felt that Uncle Ge still had a little conscience, and the next sentence sent him to hell: "But it's also a good idea to write another article, pay attention, this time we must take the law from the top, have a high foothold, and aim at the big problem before we do it!"
