"Teacher Tao, take a look, is there anything that needs to be improved in the proof process?" Zhang Xingchen looked at Tao Li, unable to hide the excitement in his heart.

In the past year or so, he and Zheng Tongya have devoted almost all their energy to the study of Goldbach's conjecture, from the initial ignorance of it, to the gradual enlightenment in the middle stage, and then to the current clearing of the clouds and fog, and the cultivation of positive results, which is naturally inseparable from their own efforts.

But Zhang Xingchen and Zheng Tongya both know in their hearts that the most important role is still Tao Li. If Tao Li hadn't made arrangements and guidance for them, leading them step by step to the final proof result, let alone being able to get a complete proof process today, they wouldn't have been able to understand the relevant theoretical knowledge!

What surprised them the most was that Tao Li was just a high school math teacher, but his knowledge capacity seemed to be endless, no matter how profound the theorem was, he could easily come to it, as if for him, there was no so-called "knowledge blind spot", as long as he wanted to know, he would definitely know!

It is not so much that Zhang Xingchen and Zheng Tongya proved the Goldbach conjecture, but that Tao Li taught them to prove this conjecture, that is, in the final analysis, this is all Tao Li's credit!

"There's nothing wrong with the certification process, I've seen it many times and there's nothing wrong with it. Tao Li put down the materials in his hand and said with a smile.

"Then let's publish this paper next?" As soon as he said this, Zheng Tongya's whole person became excited, because there is no doubt that this paper will attract great attention all over the world!

This is a paper of epochal significance!

Even Zhang Xingchen, who has always been calm, couldn't hide the joy in his heart at this time, and he always had a smile on his face.

"In addition to the Chinese version, I also need you to write the English version of this paper, because the journal we want to submit this time will be an international authoritative journal." Tao Li said with a smile.

Such a good paper, a domestic mathematics journal, can not satisfy Tao Li's appetite. Of course, no matter which journal it is submitted to, Tao Li believes that this paper will attract the attention of the world, but the bigger the platform, the greater the attention it will get, and Tao Li needs to achieve such an effect in the shortest possible time.

"Is it all in English?" Zhang Xingchen then asked.

"Of course it's all in English, otherwise?" Tao Li smiled dumbly, this question is really not up to the standard.

"Then Mr. Tao, you are embarrassed for us, although my English with Xingchen is good, the fourth and sixth levels are above 600 points, but so many papers, I really want us to translate them into English one by one, not to mention the quality of the final translation, I am afraid that it will not be completed in a month. Zheng Tongya said helplessly.

"Why don't I give it a try, there are a lot of technical words involved, and I may need to learn the relevant words first. Zhang Xingchen thought for a while, and then said. It's already come to this point, you can't give up, besides, they don't worry about handing over this kind of thing to someone else for translation, and it won't be enough to let Tao Li help with this, doesn't it seem that they are too unskilled.

"It's okay to give it a try, Xingchen and I are each responsible for half of it, so it's faster to translate. Since Zhang Xingchen said so, Zheng Tongya also felt that he should give it a try.

"Well, I'll get someone to help. Tao Li was inspired and suddenly said with a smile.

"Who? ”

"yes, who is it?"

Zhang Xingchen and Zheng Tongya asked curiously.

"You all know each other, it's Teacher Wang!" Tao Li replied with a smile. Among the people Tao Li knows, Wang Zijing's English level is definitely the highest, and she can be the translator of this paper, first, she can rest assured that the quality of the translation can also be guaranteed, which is definitely a matter of killing two birds with one stone.

"The matter of translation is left to me and Mr. Wang, you two have worked hard for so long, this summer vacation is a good time to relax, and at the beginning of the next semester, you will have to take on the teaching task independently. Tao Li continued.

"Don't you really need our help anymore?"

"That's right, Mr. Tao, you work harder than we do. ”

Zhang Xingchen and Zheng Tongya said embarrassedly.

"It's okay, in more than ten days, I can rest for a while. Tao Li waved his hand and said.

Just kidding, what do you two want to do here, be a light bulb!

After returning home, Tao Li also found Wang Zijing, and after clarifying the situation with her, Tao Li looked at her and asked, "How long will it take for you to translate?"

"You've been doing this for more than a year?" Wang Zijing took the paper and said while reading it.

"There's a lot of technical vocabulary involved, and I need to look it up...... A week, are you in a hurry? If you're in a hurry, I'll work harder, and I'll be able to translate it in five days. Wang Zijing said seriously.

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm not in a hurry, you take your time, I can't tire you out. Tao Li hurriedly said.

"Am I that delicate?" Wang Zijing said with a blank look at Tao Li.

"I don't care if you're so delicate or not, anyway, I'm reluctant to let you suffer. Tao Li hugged Wang Zijing and said softly.

"Poor mouth!" Wang Zijing slapped Tao Li's hand away and said with a slight blushing face. Recently, Tao Li's scale has been getting bigger and bigger, and if he doesn't care about it, he can't be sure what he wants to do.

With Wang Zijing's assistance, the translation of the paper went smoothly, and it only took one week to complete the translation of the paper, and the quality level was also excellent.

Among the four top journals in the field of mathematics, Tao Li's favorite ones are the Journal of the American Mathematical Society and the Annals of Mathematics, but compared with the latter, the impact factor of the Journal of the American Mathematical Society is a little larger, so after weighing it, Tao Li decided to submit it on it.

However, on the signature of the paper, Zhang Xingchen and Zheng Tongya had a dispute with Tao Li, not because of anything else, but Tao Li actually said that he would not sign this paper, but Zhang Xingchen and Zheng Tongya insisted on leaving the position of the first author to Tao Li, because they knew very well that without Tao Li, there would be no current paper.

It's just that Tao Li is not here, and now some of them are well-known enough, if he signs the first author, wouldn't it be against the original intention of looking for them.

"Mr. Tao, if you insist on not leaving any of your own names on this paper, then I will not sign it. Zhang Xingchen said without retreating.

"Me too, if I do this, it is tantamount to plagiarizing Mr. Tao's achievements, I can't do it. Zheng Tongya also said resolutely.

"I really don't need this, if I want to be famous, wouldn't it be better for me to publish it myself, why should I look for you. Tao Li said with a wry smile.

"I know that Mr. Tao is indifferent to fame and fortune, but this time is different, I still say the same thing, Mr. Tao does not sign, and I will not sign!"

"Me too!"

Zhang Xingchen and Zheng Tongya did not make the slightest "concession".

"Otherwise, you put my name last and sign it as the corresponding author, and as for the two of you, you will sign it as a co-author, what do you think?" Tao Li really couldn't resist the two of them, so he could only say this.
