From failed candidate to chief scientist

Chapter 34 Keep quiet and make big news
In order to move out of the basement and return to the life of eating branyan vegetables, Lin Mo finally found the meaning of life and the goal of struggle again.

That is to work hard to make money and improve your life!

Of course, the method of making money is still focused on learning and research. After all, the system is the golden finger that Lin Mo relies on to improve himself.

After thinking about it, Lin Mo set his goal to prove Kratz's conjecture.

This is a $100 million bounty that can dramatically improve lives if proven.

Therefore, let’s first set a small goal to prove Kratz’s conjecture.

So Lin Mo plunged into the library again and immersed himself in the ocean of knowledge.

……

On this day, the distant Tunghai University.

Fu Mingli, a professor at the School of Mathematics at Tunghai University, director of the Tunghai National Mathematics Supercomputing Research Center, and academician of the Institute of Mathematics of the Academy of Sciences, received a call.

"Zhang Qihua? Dongshan University?"

"No, no, no, that's not a branch of our school, that's also a university, located in..."

"By the way, what are you doing with this person?"

"What? Send it to me for a look..."

Fu Mingli hung up the phone in confusion.

The call was from his old friend Al Madsen, asking him to help find someone.

Fu Mingli found it a bit funny that Madsen regarded Dongshan University as a branch of Tunghai University, but for these foreigners, sometimes they really couldn't tell the difference.

Madsen said that this person wrote a very insightful paper and it was a very genius idea that was very helpful to his research, so he wanted to find this person and have an in-depth discussion with him.

He sent an email to this person, but nothing came of it. He didn't get a reply for a long time, so he thought of Fu Mingli in Xia Kingdom and wanted him to help find this person.

However, these are not important. As Madsen's friend, this favor must be done.

Fu Mingxi thought for a while and called his assistant, Huang Ziqiang, a doctoral student whom he also taught.

"Ziqiang, please help me check if there is a teacher named Zhang Qihua in the Mathematics Department of Dongshan University, and get his contact information for me."

After arranging this matter, Fu Mingli shook his head with a smile, turned on the computer, and logged in to his email. He was a little curious about what kind of paper could make Madsen so excited.

A few hours passed just by looking at it.

Until noon, Huang Ziqiang saw that Fu Mingli had stayed in the office and did not come out. He packed some food and delivered it to Fu Mingli. Fu Mingli was still reading the paper attentively.

"Teacher, let's eat first."

"No hurry, no hurry, wait until I finish reading this point."

Fu Mingli waved his hand to signal Huang Ziqiang not to disturb him, and stared at the screen.

Another hour passed.

"Teacher, if you don't eat, the food will get cold."

Fu Mingli didn't even bother to reply at this moment, he just waved his hand.

I don't know how long it took before Fu Mingli looked away from the screen.

"Genius, this is really a genius. The differential mean value theorem has been around for so many years, but he actually found another way and summarized a new formula..."

"It's amazing, it's amazing. No wonder Lao Ma has this kind of virtue... No, this person must be found. He must be recruited to our Donghai University..."

Fu Mingli sighed from the bottom of his heart.

"Zi Qiang, come here."

Fu Mingli put down the phone, and within 2 minutes, Huang Ziqiang appeared in front of Fu Mingli.

"Zi Qiang, have you found the person you were looking for this morning?"

"what……"

Huang Ziqiang was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting the teacher to ask this.

"This... I asked a friend from Dongshan University. There is only one teacher named Zhang Qihua in their mathematics department. I don't know if this is the person you are looking for, teacher."

"No duplicate name?"

Huang Ziqiang shook his head. "That's him, give me his contact information!"

……

On the other side, Dongshan University, Mathematics Teaching and Research Office.

"The new issue of "Journal of Mathematics" is out, let me take a look..."

"what?"

"Old Zhang, it's okay. You made big news without saying a word. Congratulations, Old Zhang."

After hearing what he said, Zhang Qihua raised his head from the lesson plan and looked at the other party in confusion.

"What's the big news? What's going on?"

A teacher nearby heard the sound and turned around and asked.

"Here, look, the latest issue of "Acta Mathematics", the first paper on the front page."

The teacher at the beginning pushed the computer monitor.

""Research on the Asymptotic Expansion Formula of Differential Median Points"?"

"Author, Dongshan University, Zhang Qihua..."

"Fuck!"

A teacher suddenly cursed.

"Lao Zhang, you can do it."

"This is a top journal! It is a well-deserved top journal in the academic world!"

"Isn't this fake? Isn't it a student playing a prank?"

"How is it possible? This is the official website of HowNet. Do you think HowNet will allow this kind of prank to happen?"

"Then who can say for sure..."

"But if this is true..."

The teachers in the teaching and research section were all attracted by the discussion here.

"what happened?"

"Lao Zhang's paper was published in the top journal, "Journal of Mathematics"!"

"What? How is this possible? Or is it Lao Zhang?"

"Lao Zhang, don't get me wrong, I didn't mean that, I just..."

After repeatedly confirming that this was not a prank, but a serious paper published in the "Journal of Mathematics", the entire teaching and research office exploded.

"What do you mean? That's what you mean. Lao Zhang, ignore him. Just based on this paper, you will walk sideways in our teaching and research office from now on!"

"It's Lao Zhang, you are proud this time. By the way, Lao Zhang, tell us, when did you write the paper, and why did you publish it quietly? It was even published in the "Journal of Mathematics", If you have any experience, share it with us so that we can also publish an article.”

"Lao Zhang, you are so awesome. You are so awesome this time!"

"Lao Zhang, please teach us your experience."

However, Zhang Qihua, the protagonist being discussed, looked at a loss at this time.

Did I publish the paper, or was it published in a top journal like Acta Mathematica?
why i don't know
I...I didn't publish the paper at all!
Is there any misunderstanding here?Maybe someone else with the same name and surname as me at Dongshan University published a paper?

Taking advantage of the heated discussion among others, Zhang Qihua secretly glanced at the paper on the screen.

In the author's column, the names Zhang Qihua and Lin Mo were written clearly.

Zhang Qihua immediately understood what was going on, and couldn't help but feel a little moved.

"This child..."

But in an instant, Zhang Qihua became worried again.

What he was worried about was not that people would know the truth. Some people said that he had seized students' research results and gained notoriety. He was worried that someone would label Lin Mo as academic fraud. After all, there were many people who were jealous of such a big achievement.

Thinking of this, Zhang Qihua couldn't help but feel uneasy.
