Chapter 293: Dark People Don't Do Bright Things

Zhang Hongcai was completely shocked.

Is it really Xu Changshu, who used to be very low-key in Yanbei, who said this? What do you mean by giving him a little time, maybe he can also guess my brother?

It's floating, isn't it? It's still floating high.

In particular, "the mathematics you are in contact with now is no longer the same thing as the mathematics we study" pierced Zhang Hongcai's lung tube.

It's only been a few days since I've been to Xilin? Not only do you have to distinguish the relationship with the Yanbei Academy, but you even dare to say that the things you study are different?

Excessive, right?

However, what is even more excessive is that after scolding him that he had nothing to say, Xu Changshu actually urged again: "Director Zhang, I'll hang up if I have nothing else, there are really a lot of things at hand." I still want to get things done and continue working on the project. ”

"It's okay, you can do something."

"Oh, goodbye, Director Zhang. Toot Toot ......"

The phone hung up really fast, and before Zhang Hongcai could react, there was a busy sound in his ears to hang up the phone.

After resisting the urge to throw the phone directly out of the window, Zhang Hongcai suddenly felt a little sad.

Being looked down upon by the professors who walked out of here probably represents the end of an era, right?

……

As for the other side, Xu Changshu, who hung up the phone, really didn't feel that he had just hurt the fragile heart of the leader who used to be good to him.

On the contrary, Xu Changshu felt that he was nostalgic.

If he were a different person, he wouldn't have talked so much nonsense at all, let alone told the other party how happy he was every day in Xilin Institute of Mathematics.

Xu Changshu believed that Zhang Hongcai had already felt his happiness from the key information he revealed.

After all, it's all the latest stuff here, and it's something that changes people's perception of mathematics.

That's the most important thing, as for Goldbach's conjecture.

Hey, these people out there are really making a lot of fuss.

……

Yes, Xu Changshu, who was transferred from Yanbei University to Xilin University, did not feel that he had brought his mentality at Yanbei University to Xilin at all.

No way, when Xu Changshu was in Yanbei, Yanbei Mathematics College was a well-deserved No.1 in China.

When he came to the Xilin Institute of Mathematics, he became a well-deserved No.1 in Huaxia.

Xu Changshu, who had too poor empathy, didn't expect how aggrieved the old leader who was still No.1 felt after hearing his words.

Of course, he doesn't have time to experience other people's feelings, so he doesn't have time!

As he said on the phone, there is a lot of work on his hands, and he can't finish it, he can't finish it at all.

……

For the inside of the Xilin Institute of Mathematics, Qiao Ze proved that the matter of Gechai is really not a particularly sensational thing.

Or I was surprised at first, but after reading the proof process, I probably had a similar idea to Xu Changshu in my heart. It turns out that it can be like this, and if I give me time to think about it, I can probably prove it.

In fact, after being inspired by Josser, some people have already begun to do it.

At present, Qiao Ze is definitely not the only one who studies prime number theory problems in his spare time, such as the Riemann conjecture.

Although Qiao Ze has not yet come up with a better way to deal with it, many professors feel that there is a lot of work that can be done on this proposition.

It's really not that the following professors are all enlightened, and their understanding of supercoiled algebra has surpassed Qiao Ze, mainly because everyone's requirements are different.

José studied the Riemann conjecture and really went to solve the problem completely. The professors felt that it would be a victory if they took this proposition one step further by using the classification techniques for natural numbers in supercoiled algebra.

There is no rule in mathematics that the study of a proposition requires a complete solution to the problem.

In response to this kind of world-recognized mathematical problem, if it can make significant and advanced research and be recognized by reviewers, it can be directly sent to the four top journals of mathematics.

Qiao Ze is qualified not to care about this kind of world-class journal, but as long as the current system of linking professional titles and bonuses to top journal papers is not changed, it is impossible for other professors not to care. You must know that most of the people in the institute are still associate professors and associate researchers, and this time in the Xilin Institute of Mathematics is the best opportunity to remove the adverb.

Especially after the publication of Qiao Zegechai's paper.

If you let your foreign counterparts find the way, maybe others will be the first to get there.

Although Xu Changshu doesn't have similar urgent thoughts, who doesn't want to do more results?

So not only he was busy, but the entire Xilin Institute of Mathematics was very busy, so busy that he didn't have time to pay attention to how much Qiao Ze's paper caused a lot of repercussions in the mathematical community.

But what they hated the most was that Dean Xu, who squeezed their labor force and made them take time to prepare lesson plans in their busy schedules, was very idle.

When the paper was not published, there was time to call the manuscript one day a day, and after the paper was finally sent, there was still time to call day by day, so that the part-time editors in the editorial office of "New Discoveries in Mathematics and Physics" urged the reviewers to review it quickly.

Yes, the professors of the Xilin Institute of Mathematics are not only responsible for the study of Joe's algebraic geometry, but also have to teach undergraduates, and they also have to pick up the editing work of "New Discoveries in Mathematics and Physics" first.

Xu Dajiang, the supernumerary housekeeper, really used chicken feathers as an arrow, and used the human resources in the institute to the extreme.

Of course, there is also a saying for this.

Li Jiangao, a good old man, is the director, and Qiao Ze, who is in charge of the overall situation without doing anything, directly fills the treatment in the Institute of Mathematics.

The salary is fixed, according to the title and rank, but the bonuses, allowances and other miscellaneous benefits add up, which is many times better than that of professors in the School of Mathematics.

Xu Dajiang is not easy to say anything in terms of treatment, after all, Qiao Ze can get money in the data research institute, which is people's ability.

So he simply came to be this villain, and let these professors do more work with the postdocs who were fighting with the previous doctors.

Professors have to understand that no one's money is so easy to make.

Under Xu Dajiang's high-pressure management, the editors who were forced to open for business were also very good.

The method is to send an email to the volunteer reviewers if there is nothing to do, roughly explaining how difficult it is for Professor Qiao to write an English paper now, please hurry up, and if there are any questions, please ask them as soon as possible, if there are no problems...... We published it in a journal.

In fact, from the perspective of journal editors, such worded emails seem unkind, after all, reviewers are obligated to help with the work.

But it can't be helped.

They were all forced by Xu Dajiang, and everyone was annoyed by such a leader.

Fortunately, the current Xilin Institute of Mathematics is confident.

In fact, just like Xu Changshu, after seeing too many new things, he doesn't look very seriously at the achievements of others.

And what about Princeton's great professors?

What about Fields Medal winners?

If you want to get the latest mathematical ideas on supercoiled algebra, transcendental geometry, and derived dimensional distortion equations, you still have to cooperate with the Xilin Institute of Mathematics.

And this time the English paper is to guess a face, as a reviewer, if you don't have a b number in your heart, and you still want to get stuck, maybe there will be no English original papers in this aspect in the future.

Simply everyone will play their own games in the future. Anyway, "New Discoveries in Mathematics and Physics" is now the son of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and next year in the division of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, it will definitely enter the top sequence.

The main thing is that there is still a backstage.

The Xilin Institute of Mathematics has Qiao Ze in charge, which can reassure the professors, which means that the World Congress of Mathematicians will have to wait for two years......

Yes, everyone is sure that José will definitely be the next Fields Medal winner.

Unless these awards are completely discredited.

Perhaps the most anticipated event in June is the upcoming Clafford Award next month.

The award is also judged by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, which rotates between mathematics, astronomy, earth sciences and biological sciences each year and is awarded to a person in that discipline.

2024 is exactly the turn of mathematics.

Traditionally, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences announces the winners in July and holds an award ceremony in mid-September. (Note: This is a plot coherence requirement, and it is a parallel world, and the author knows that the award was announced in mid-January in reality.) )

Based on Qiao Ze's achievements in mathematics last year, solving the Jan Mills conjecture and mass gap hypothesis, and introducing a new mathematical system such as Joe Algebraic Geometry, winning the prize should be a sure thing.

It will also be the first world-class math award that José should have received.

Whether Qiao Ze is willing to accept the award is another matter, but since this year's rules are to be awarded to the direction of mathematics, the organizing committee must award it to Qiao Ze.

Next is the Turing Awards, which are announced in August each year. Doudou, which is popular on the Internet, has made Qiao Ze one of the most powerful contenders for this award.

Then came the Nobel Prize, which was announced in October.

Under normal circumstances, José should have won two awards.

The method of discovering gravitons is enough to win him a Nobel Prize in physics, and the discovery of a new element is enough to win him a Nobel Prize in chemistry.

There are also awards for scientific progress in China, as well as a series of awards from the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics......

As for other awards such as Wolf and LaBelle, José is still young and can follow his fate.

In short, this year is bound to be a harvest year for the Xilin Institute of Mathematics, at least within the Institute, there is no need to worry. It's just that when the wheel of history is rolling forward, God knows what will suddenly go wrong......

……

In the United States, at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW in Washington, D.C., a large courtyard that occupies more than 73,000 square meters, a daily press conference is being held.

At this time, it was time to answer reporters' questions, and the beautiful spokeswoman, as usual, casually clicked on a question from a reporter from Politico.

"Your Excellency, we have received news that the head of Langley, Roman Wiley, has submitted his resignation to the Grand President, and the Grand Boss has agreed to Romain Wiley's resignation? Is this true? Why did Roman Wiley submit his resignation? Who will be his successor? ”

As soon as this question was asked, the concentration of the reporters in the entire conference room increased a few points.

It was Langley, after all.

The most mysterious and secret-minded place in the world, especially Hollywood's big movies about spy wars, has cast a veil of mystery over this place.

Although it is now difficult for the head of the agency to fully control this bloated department in a short period of time, and the intricate relationship of interests has made its operation less commanding, but every head of Langley has touched the hearts of many people.

In short, this is definitely big news for the average person.

Reporters from many media outlets at the scene have not even gotten the news of this, and naturally the response is extremely high.

I just thought that the spokesperson would directly prevaricate on such a sensitive issue, but what many people didn't expect was that the spokesperson really began to answer this question after a short silence.

"Yes, you are well informed, and Roman Wiley did submit his resignation late yesterday, and it has been approved. The reason is obvious, no one is satisfied with Langley's work at this stage. Langley could have done better, but it didn't work as well as it should, in many of the key intelligence jobs.

So Mr. Roman Wiley realized that he was not good enough to handle the department and, at the suggestion of the Grand President, submitted his resignation. As for the successor of Mr. Roman Wiley, it is not yet decided. As we all know, Langley is a very important sector for our country.

With a responsible attitude towards the country, the Elder General will conduct a series of examinations and finally select a person who is proficient in business and worthy of trust to take charge of this extremely important work. ”

When the spokesman's words fell, the reporters on the scene were also instantly excited, and countless hands were raised as if they had been beaten with blood.

The vast majority of the reporters who were allowed to walk into the estate for a press conference were old fritters. They certainly knew how the spokesperson would respond to such questions in general.

Either it is to first affirm the work of the resignee, make a brief summary of his work, and finally send him good wishes; Either you can directly deal with this matter without comment.

Answers like today's are those of Romand Wiley's work that he was extremely dissatisfied with; Or maybe the former head of Langley, the high-ranking bigwigs in this house, had a very fierce conflict......

Think about it, how could a spokesperson dare to say this about a Langley head who had just resigned without permission from above.

No matter how many buffs are stacked on the body, it's useless!

After all, this kind of thing is a thing that is advocated for the sake of publicity, but Langley is a notoriously dark person who doesn't do things in the open.

Without the instructions of the bigwigs, the spokesman would probably not dare to speak like this.

So what did Roman Wiley do to anger people?

The official even directly stated that he was unqualified?

Is it because of the last material model?

"Your Excellency, may I ask what you said about Roman Wiley just now because during his tenure, Huaxia developed strong artificial intelligence technology and reverse material modeling technology, but Langley did not have a relevant report?"

The next reporter who was called up asked without hesitation.

"I'm sorry, but the work of the head of Langley is a secret that is not easy to disclose, so I have nothing to say. Well, that's the end of today's press conference. ”

"Wait, Your Excellency, did you just say that Romande-Wellier's work was instructed by the Grand President?"

"According to the latest Morgan Valley poll results, the big boss's approval rating has fallen by another three percentage points, and it is said that 70 percent of the people surveyed believe that the big boss has not completed the task of containing China's development that he emphasized during his time in office, is Romand Wiley's resignation related to this?"

"What do you ......think, Your Excellency?"

The noisy voice of the journalist did not change the spokesman's decision.

After saying that, the spokesman packed up his speech and walked out of the small room where the press conference was held without looking back.

Naturally, those reporters were stopped by the Secret Service staff.

These damn journalists are really annoying......

Speaking of that level is already her limit, who can say it more carefully?

Too greedy!

……

Washington, Langley, Romand Wiley is starting to pack his personal belongings.

Speaking of which, even a person in charge like him is no different from an ordinary employee.

Once he resigns, the office will no longer belong to him.

The TV on the wall is playing a video of today's press conference.

After hearing a reporter ask a question about him, Romand Wiley focused his attention on the TV for a short time.

He was not surprised by the speaker's next answer.

His intransigence finally annoyed and embarrassed those brutal vampires.

In fact, Roman Wiley has always felt that he is still patriotic.

Although he often has selfish intentions of one kind or another, it is all based on the content of the oath he once took under the Stars and Stripes. And only by standing in a higher position can we better serve this country.

Well, in fact, it's not that pure, it's just that he, like everyone else in this world, has seen the benefits of money and likes it more. But no matter what, he has a bottom line.

In fact, since becoming the head of Langley, the country in his eyes has begun to blur and even abstract.

Because it is difficult to find a precise legal definition here, such as whose country is this? To whom should he be loyal and to whom should he serve?

Although psychologically speaking, Roman Willy was not surprised, but the anger value gradually rose in the negation of the spokesman's words.

After all, resigning as officially defined as incompetent can be said to be a great humiliation for his career, after all, he is a technical official.

This humiliation is second only to the head of Langley, who voluntarily resigned because of the revelation of his extramarital affair......

Yes, the person in charge of Langley was actually exposed to an extramarital affair...... Hehe.

He used to think that he was like a clown, but now he realized that everyone could be a clown, including himself.

In a fit of rage, he picked up the phone directly.

"Hello? I'm Roman Wiley, do you have time? Meet and talk. ”

"Of course, it's an honor! Your Excellency Wiley. ”
