Chapter 30 The Disciplined Journalist

In this way, the big news of Chinese high school students proving Poincaré's conjecture quickly became a hot search on Twitter.

The strength of its hot search even surpassed that of a certain "Twitter ruler" with the help of John's shock.

By the way, he popularized science to countless foreign netizens, and Poincaré guessed what was going on.

Of course, it also shocked many people in China.

Although it is difficult to access Twitter in the general environment, for many media outlets who specialize in eating this bowl of rice, it is not a problem at all.

After all, you need to keep abreast of international news trends!

As the so-called domestic news turns to Weibo, foreign news looks for Twitter.

Whether it's Weibo or Twitter, what can be searched is natural and excellent news material!

Luo Xiang is the editor of an unknown website.

The kind of little editor who doesn't have a press card.

My usual job is to find all kinds of news suitable for reporting on Weibo and Twitter, and then post it on the website to attract people's attention.

There is a lot of money and little money, and you always have to take the blame.

But there is no way, five cents is also money!

And you can do it right in front of your computer.

For a small undergraduate who graduated from a non-key university, this job is not satisfactory.

can be the first to contact all kinds of new things, and there can be five or six thousand yuan a month, only three insurances and no gold, this money is in the territory of the capital, of course, it is nothing, and even low wages, but it is not a big problem to mix food and clothing.

At least not to let him live in the basement.

The motivation to support him in this hopeless career, has been struggling, and even began to take the initiative to immunize the comments of various abusive editors under the comments, the main thing is - lazy!

Although the company is not large, there is still air conditioning in the office area.

A mobile phone, a computer, you can work at any time.

You don't have to go down to the factory for three shifts, unlike running around outdoors on a hot day when you're doing sales......

Swipe Weibo, look at Twitter, make up some text while looking at the picture, a day has passed, comfortable!

And today, when he was scrolling through Twitter, he discovered something new!

What?

Chinese high school students prove the world's problems, Poincaré conjecture?

There is no need for him to go to Baidu at all, what is Poincaré's conjecture.

The various comments on Twitter have already explained it clearly.

Although he read the explanation, he didn't quite understand what the meaning of this conjecture was.

However, he knew that the news was strong enough!

I immediately started to integrate information, but fortunately, there were several posts on Twitter on this topic, and I saw that the Twitter owners were all studying mathematics, either professors at this university or graduate students at that well-known research institute.

Dute is a great man in the world of mathematics!

Although these people are not like celebrities, such as Tom Hanks, Schwarzenegger, *** teacher, everyone knows the name as soon as they say it, but the institutions behind these people are awesome.

Professor at Harvard, Yale, Columbia, Cambridge, and many other universities......

Krone Institute, Fields Institute of Mathematics......

Listen to the name and be tall and have a wood?

So many people collectively stand up for a Chinese high school student, which is big news in itself!

And through the whole information, Luo Xiang finally sorted out the context of the incident.

These awesome mathematicians were invited to Tsinghua University to attend a seminar in the field of applied mathematics, and then at the conference, I don't know why a high school student participated.

Forget it, he also went straight to the stage and began to prove this Poincaré conjecture using pure topological methods.

According to these mathematicians, this is a challenge that has never been done before or since, and now it seems that it is close to success.

Well, that's definitely big news.

The only thing that made him depressed was that so many foreigners mentioned it on Twitter, but no one exposed the name of the protagonist.

Such important information was overlooked.

The reason why this high school student was able to participate in this conference was not mentioned.

This made Luo Xiang's mood a little melancholy.

Usually how much news he writes, he can't be sure of the truth at all, and even knows that it's a fake ear, but he still has to make it up as if it was true.

But today's news is almost certain to be true with his sensitivity, but no matter how you write it, it will definitely be considered fake.

If it weren't for the collective Twitter certification of so many mathematicians, even he probably wouldn't believe it.

High school students are a bit exaggerated, at least college students.

But what can he do?

Big news, believe it or not, it is still a must!

Of course, the most important thing is to think of a good title first!

Forget about the thriller, this time it's regular news, and of course the headline must be regular.

"Chinese high school students have solved the world's math problems, attracting the amazement of countless foreign math professors!

Although the title is a little longer, Luo Xiang is very satisfied.

After all, he summed it up very well, and that's what it was written on those tweets.

......

"What a mess! The small websites are getting more and more outrageous! It's so undisciplined. The reputation of our journalists has been ruined by these messy guys!"

Xu Xiaowen looked at the explosive news that was suddenly pushed out, and muttered angrily to the colleagues around her.

What the hell!

She also clicked in and looked, a high school student proved the Poincaré conjecture in front of Chinese and foreign mathematicians?

"What's the news?" the colleague poked his head over to glance.

"It is said that a high school student proved the Poincaré conjecture in front of many world-class mathematicians, and was approved by these world mathematicians!" Xu Xiaowen said succinctly.

"What does Poincaré guess it is?" the colleague asked.

"There is a research institute offering a million rewards for proving math problems. ”

"Let's put it this way, if a high school student can prove a math problem at this level, he can let me do anything!"

Xu Xiaowen casually explained, hey, liberal arts student!

As soon as the words fell, the door of the editor-in-chief's room was suddenly opened.

Editor-in-chief Zhang hurriedly walked out and said loudly: "Xiao Xu, hurry up and prepare, there is an interview task." ”

"Ah?!Is there any big news?" Xu Xiaowen immediately came to her senses, as a young beautiful reporter from Beijing TV, she was always ready to be able to report a major news exclusively.

Today is the most hurried time for the editor-in-chief to go out, is her chance coming?

"Yes, big news! Just now, Xiao Yang called, saying that at today's mathematics symposium held by Tsinghua University, a high school student solved a worldwide mathematical problem! There are reporters from other media at the scene, you should hurry over and try to interview that high school student!" Editor-in-chief Zhang said succinctly

"Ah?!" Xu Xiaowen was stunned for a moment.

What's going on?

It can't be such a coincidence, right?

She had just seen a high school student on the Internet proving the Poincaré conjecture, and the editor-in-chief here arranged such an interview assignment for her.

Is the news on the Internet real?
