Lott Dugan never imagined that Daniel Mirno's ideas would be more radical than his, even crazy.

Eighteen-year-old member of the American Academy of Sciences?

Well, it's really hard.

The youngest member of the mathematics group of the National Academy of Sciences is 30 years old. Age is one thing, and like the rest of the world, it also requires the approval and consent of the majority of people to get this honor.

It wasn't something he could decide with Daniel Mirno.

At best, it can only be recommended, but there is no control over the results at all.

Not to mention that José has no roots in the United States.

It's somewhat whimsical.

But Daniel Mirno is serious.

"No, I think it's doable! Lot, we're just promising to recommend him highly, maybe not right now. With his level, he will definitely be able to become an academician in the future, a few years later at most. And as long as he came to Princeton, he would definitely not choose to go back. I have this confidence, and the first thing to consider is to let him come, right? ”

Lott Dugan probably understood what Daniel Mirno meant, and hesitated: "Are you trying to deceive?" ”

How can this be called deception? We did do our best to help him, and I was even able to express my thoughts publicly through Facebook. It's just that we can't guarantee that we'll be able to get through. Not to mention that as long as he comes, we can give him all the honors we can think of, isn't that enough? You know, Lot, that only here can he be our partner. If he stays in Huaxia, he will likely become a competitor in the future. ”

Daniel Mirno said solemnly.

Lott Dugan was silent.

Although he also hoped that José would come to Princeton, his thinking logic was not the same as that of Daniel Mirno.

Lott Duggan was one of those very traditional mathematicians, who was not interested in anything outside of academics.

But Daniel Mirno is markedly different, and the professor's ideas are noticeably more utilitarian and realistic.

As if sensing Lott Dugan's hesitation, Daniel Mirno spoke again: "Lot, put away your hypocrite's thoughts?" As you just said, that Joe also proposed a new theory, designed a new large language model algorithm, and earned the first pot of gold in his life. What this says, you know better than anyone.

I know you don't like to complicate things, but why do you think you can work with NASA and get a lot of money from them to work on topics that interest you but may not have any results at all? That's because our Congress is still giving NASA! Don't deny it, we live in a competitive world, and Huaxia happens to be our strongest competitor.

Although for us, this may not be a life-and-death competition. But it's about whether your project will get enough funding to continue researching. If they don't make enough profits, the idiots in Congress will continue to cut funding for research, including NASA. And NASA's lack of funding will cut projects like yours in the first place.

So please let go of your boring and disgusting sense of morality for a moment. If you can get Joe to come to Princeton, even a little bit of over-the-top promise is not a big deal. I don't even mind if you make a promise in my name. ”

Lott Dugan shook his head, then smiled and said calmly, "No, I'm not going to cheat on a child, and if you have to do it, I think you should email him personally." Of course, this does not mean that I disagree with you, in fact, your ideas do have some truth, but they are not comprehensive.

On a larger level, our problem is not just competition, but greed that makes the big people choose the easiest way to get rich. To do this, they even abandon the most basic underlying industrial base of a country. The disconnect between the upper and lower levels has led to the loss of the execution that we were once proud of.

Do you know why we have such a splendid civilization today? Beginning with the roar of Britain's first steam engine, the Western Hemisphere was home to some of the world's most skilled workers and the largest factories that could turn the ideas of countless scientists into reality. But now, we've given it up.

Yes, finance can make money from money in a steady stream, and we will even go to the relevant mathematical models to try to control everything. This strength allows us to issue bonds almost unlimitedly. But if money is not supported by physical materials, it will only become useless waste paper.

What's even more terrifying is that infinity is just a concept that exists in mathematics, and the concept of infinity doesn't make much sense in the real physical world. From this point of view, I even think that Joe's decision to stay in Huaxia is very smart. If you know that country, you will know that they are like the United States in the 70s and 80s.

Young, energetic, creative and strong execution. So it's really possible for them to turn some great ideas into reality. I'm not a pessimist, but I'm pretty sure it's the wrong path. Once we are no longer able to attract high-level talent on our own merits, it means that we are starting to fall behind. But that doesn't mean you can cheat. ”

Yes, that's what Lott Dugan had in mind.

Because he wasn't sure if Joze's choice was the right one. So he will invite Qiao Ze warmly, but he will not give false promises just to deceive people.

It can be understood that Lott Dugan has a moral cleanliness, and such people are found all over the world.

Looking at each other, it was obvious that neither of the two could convince anyone.

Soon Daniel Mirno was defeated, because he knew how stubborn the thin little old man was.

"Okay, but you're not going to expose me when you're communicating with Jozer, are you?"

Lott Duggan shrugged his shoulders and said, "Perhaps, even I want to remind you that Joe's personality is different from most, and maybe what you think is important is not worth mentioning in his eyes. I hope you can control your emotions when communicating with him, and it is best to start with an academic discussion. ”

This is true of all words.

Lotter Dugan suspects that if Daniel Mirno comes up and throws an olive branch, he may be directly blocked by José.

"No, Lot, I know what it is like to be eighteen. When I was my age, I wished the world would know who I was! It's just a pity that I don't have that ability. But you know what? I will find a way to fulfill his wishes. Let him understand where the most correct choice is. ”

Compared to Lott Dugan's not-so-optimistic mood, Daniel Mirno seems to be full of confidence.

Lott Dugan didn't bother to comment and forcibly pulled the topic back: "Okay, Daniel, let's get down to business." So as one of the reviewers, you wouldn't object to me doing a warm-up promotion for this paper again, would you? ”

"No, why warm up? Shouldn't you take advantage of the heat and send the paper out directly? In the age of the Internet, why do you have to wait until December to release it? It was published directly in an electronic journal, included in the SCI index, and reissued in the physical journal two months later. In this era, except for some old guys, who will insist on reading articles in magazines? ”

Daniel Mirno gave a more radical suggestion.

This suggestion is really good, isn't everyone questioning Qiao Ze's paper is not qualified to be promoted on the official website, just in this way to tell everyone, in fact, there are two papers, and the first paper is just an appetizer, after all, the level of the paper is there.

As we all know, it is not too much to study such a difficult topic for ten or eight years.

So it's understandable that Annals of Mathematics received two papers from Joser at once.

It's nothing more than that the editorial department wants to make a joke with everyone, so they warmed up the pre-paper first.

Lott Dugan thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll go and discuss it with Joe." This requires the consent of the other party. In this way, if the proofreading speed is fast enough, it will be published the day after tomorrow. ”

"The day after tomorrow? That's good, by the way, remember to mention my name when you send an email. Tell that Joe, this is what I suggested. Daniel Mirno said seriously.

……

Xilin University of Technology, in the laboratory.

Entering the middle of October, the weather in Xilin is gradually getting cooler.

Qiao Ze was the only one in his office, because Su Mucheng had taken a leave of absence. The reason is very strong, it is cold, and Qiao Ze obviously does not have enough clothes in his wardrobe, so he simply made an appointment with Lu Xiuxiu to go shopping and buy clothes.

In fact, Su Mucheng hoped that Qiao Ze could go together.

But José never had an interest in shopping.

In the past, when Lu Xiuxiu was shopping, he liked to take Qiao Ze to ask him to bargain, which made Qiao Ze, who didn't talk much, instinctively resist.

Now that the family environment has improved, and it can even be said that there is no shortage of money, Qiao Ze is even more reluctant to go.

However, this time I didn't find Xu Dajiang to arrange someone, and the school directly arranged someone to pick him up.

It's actually pretty good.

As usual, opening the mailbox, José saw Lotter's letter again.

The paper has been approved......

Well, it also saves José the time of going to the submission backend to see the status of the paper.

In addition, the other party suggested that the electronic version be published first.

Well, it's the suggestion made by the reviewer of this paper.

José glanced at the reviewer's name, Daniel Mirno, and was impressed that it was because he had read the math gurus' previous papers. I was impressed because the reviewer had won a Fields Medal.

From this point, Qiao Ze can roughly understand why the Annals of Mathematics is so influential in the mathematical community.

After all, not every mathematics journal can invite a Fields Medal winner to review it.

didn't bother too much, Qiao Ze chose to agree, and the first electronic version was the same.

The only problem is probably that some plans need to be advanced.

So after replying to Lott Dugan, Qiao Ze directly called Liu Chenfeng to the office.

"Little boss, what are you looking for me?" Liu Chenfeng walked in the door and asked happily.

Qiao Ze glanced at Liu Chenfeng and prepared the wording in his heart: "The subject is over." ”

"Huh? Little boss, I know, you forgot that the sample paper has been given to me? Isn't this a new subject coming down again? To tell you the truth, little boss, I was very well prepared this time. Under your guidance, I have come up with several ways to advance the Riemann space correspondence of the two-dimensional field. For example, this time we can still ...... from Riemann space, which has the highest symmetry."

"I mean, the new project is over."

Qiao Ze interrupted Liu Chenfeng's report, added a few more words, and made a supplementary explanation.

"Uh,...... New topic? What do you mean? Isn't a new topic just beginning? Liu Chenfeng looked at Qiao Ze blankly and asked.

"The paper has been reviewed and is currently in the proofreading stage, and it will probably be published directly in the electronic version of the Annals of Mathematics the day after tomorrow." José explained.

Liu Chenfeng blinked his eyes and looked at Qiao Ze, not knowing what to say for a while.

The office fell silent.

Jozer didn't quite know how to handle the situation.

He could sense that the doctor in front of him might need comfort, but he wasn't very good at comforting people.

should wait for Su Mucheng to be there, and then inform Liu Chenfeng of this matter.

So I can only wait for Liu Chenfeng to accept it himself.

After a while, Liu Chenfeng asked weakly: "Little boss, aren't you joking with me?" ”

Qiao Ze thought about it, and simply called up the email from Lott Dugan just now, then directly turned his laptop and pushed it over.

Liu Chenfeng read the email sent by the editor-in-chief of the "Annals of Mathematics" with his mouth half-open, and then felt that his brain was completely unable to think.

He wondered if something was wrong with the world.

The completion of the last proposition in a month has subverted Liu Chenfeng's cognition of mathematical scientific research.

But at least it took that much time.

Liu Chenfeng also has a sense of the difficulty of the new topic, and he is also full of confidence in Qiao Ze. If the argument of the previous topic can be completed in one month, then it is normal for the new topic to take at least half a year or even two or three years.

After all, the special case uniform proof and the universal uniform proof are two completely different concepts.

It's like the proof process of Gochai, which is done step by step.

From solving the conjecture of prime number distribution and the conjecture of prime distribution in arithmetic progression, to proposing the density problem of prime number distribution, to proving the prime number distribution theorem, and then proposing a series of mathematical tools in the research, the results can gradually approach the final result......

However, the fact is that it has only been a week since the approval of the new project college, and even the funds will not be transferred to the special scientific research account until next Monday, and the papers will be published.

This is already a question of whether the speed is fast or not, but a problem that breaks through a person's cognition.

Even Gauss, the prince of mathematics back then, couldn't be so good, right?

Liu Chenfeng felt that he was being destroyed by Qiao Ze's perception of the world, as well as mathematics itself.

Although it has been destroyed once before, this one is especially serious.

Looking at Liu Chenfeng, who was dazed, Qiao Ze also gave up, and after thinking about it, he said, "You go back to the evening first." ”

Su Mucheng must have come back in the evening, he just needs to tell Su Mucheng what he thinks, and let her communicate with Liu Chenfeng.

Liu Chenfeng's uncontrollable expression made Qiao Ze feel that it was more difficult to communicate with this guy than to write a paper.
