From failed candidate to chief scientist

Chapter 65 A false alarm

During the banquet, Lin Mo chatted and laughed with all the big guys, and the atmosphere was good, and their relationship became much closer for a while.

Everyone was from the academic circle, and as they chatted, they inevitably thought about academia, and the topic slowly shifted to Lin Mo.

Although the report will be tomorrow, it does not prevent everyone from understanding the ideas and methods of Lin Mo's proof.

Lin Mo had nothing to hide, so he directly expressed his theories and thoughts.

"Well, Xiaolin, you have created a new mathematical method. Young people's thinking is flexible."

Qiu Chengtong looked at Lin Mo with more admiration.

"Yeah, when I was your age, I couldn't do this kind of research."

Chen Shangyuan sighed with emotion.

"I'm as old as you..."

Lu Xiaoyan also wanted to echo it, but after thinking about it, he had already published several papers when he was Lin Mo's age, so he had to swallow his words.

"Come on, Mr. Lin, I look forward to you being able to set a new age limit for professors at Shuimu University."

Chen Shangyuan and Fang Boliang both rolled their eyes.

When you say this, can you avoid us old men?
Only Birkar looked a little solemn.

"Lin, I'm reviewing a paper recently. That paper is also about Kratz's proof. The idea of ​​​​this paper is very similar to the idea you just mentioned. You..."

Birkar thought for a long time before speaking carefully.

As Birkar's words fell, the table suddenly became quiet, and everyone thought of the same possibility.

Academic cheating!

At the same time, on the same issue, two papers with the same idea were published. Here...

Fang Boliang even thought further. He suddenly remembered that Lin Mo asked him for help and repeatedly emphasized the time and asked for it within a week. At that time, he didn't think it was strange. Now he finally understood where the problem lies.

However, Fang Boliang didn't think Lin Mo was the person who would do such a thing, so someone else plagiarized Lin Mo's ideas?

On the other side, Tian Fangyi and Zhang Qihua looked at each other, and they thought of one person at the same time, Liu Qin.

Could it be Liu Qin?He had plagiarized Lin Mo's ideas before and knew that Lin Mo wanted to use this idea to solve the problem of proving Kratz's conjecture. So Liu Qin also used this idea to prove Kratz's conjecture?
Zhang Qihua even thought deeper, because he heard Liu Qin say with his own ears that he wanted to prove Kratz's conjecture.

Seeing Tian Fangyi and Zhang Qihua looking ugly, Fang Bo's conscience sank.

"what happened?"

Tian Fangyi and Zhang Qihua were a little embarrassed. After all, this was a scandal in their own school, and the family scandal should not be exposed to the public.

However, under the gaze of all the big guys, Tian Fangyi and Zhang Qihua really couldn't withstand the pressure.

Zhang Qihua briefly talked about the previous conflict with Liu Qin, but he still didn't mention Liu Qin's name, only that he was a professor in the school.

"Humph, academic scum, the academic atmosphere in the country has been corrupted by people like this!"

Fang Boliang cursed angrily.

Lin Mo glanced at everyone present.

Qiu Chengtong and Chen Shangyuan did not speak, but the expressions on their faces showed a bit of perseverance.

Birkar shook his head helplessly.

Lu Xiaoyan frowned and looked at Lin Mo.

"Maybe things are not what you think?"

Lin Mo also thought about whether Liu Qin rushed to publish the paper, but after thinking about it carefully, he thought it was unlikely.

After listening to Liu Qin's report, he had a certain understanding of Liu Qin's level. He felt that Liu Qin actually did not fully understand his own ideas. At most, he was just imitating others and making a poor imitation.And relying on this incomplete idea, if you want to keep up with your own progress and prove Kratz's conjecture, it can be said that it is a thousand miles away.

So there is probably some misunderstanding here.

"what?"

Everyone's eyes were attracted by Lin Mo's words.

"Coucher, which journal are you reviewing for? Is it Acta Mathematica? This should be fair to say."

"Yes."

Birkar nodded.

"That's right, I submitted a manuscript to the Journal of Mathematics, hoping that they would publish it in this issue of the Journal of Mathematics, but the other party told me that the manuscript needs to be reviewed and can only be published in the next issue."

"Ms. Zhang also said just now that someone copied my ideas. The other party published a paper on "New Advances in Mathematics", and it will be published in this issue."

"So, I want to publish my research results before his paper is published. In this way, a lot of trouble can be avoided. That's why I urgently asked Teacher Fang for help and initiated this report meeting."

Lin Mo explained the matter unhurriedly.

After speaking, Lin Mo took out his notebook, opened his paper, and handed it to Bill Carr.

"Coucher, look, is this the paper you are reviewing?"

Birkar looked at it for a long time and finally confirmed that what Lin Mo showed him and the one he was reviewing were indeed the same paper.

Birkar nodded.

"That's right, this is it. It seems I've been worrying too much."

"However, there are several parts of your paper that I don't quite understand. Can you explain them to me?"

"no problem."

"Then here..."

Birkar pointed directly at the paper in his notebook and asked as if no one was watching.

"Okay, Kocher, Kobayashi will give a report tomorrow, and you will naturally hear it by then. Let's have dinner first, okay? You are young people who can resist, but we old men, older Now, I can’t bear it if I don’t eat.”

Qiu Chengtong saw it and closed the notebook in Birkar's hand with a smile, interrupting the discussion between Birkar and Lin Mo.

"Haha, it's my fault, sorry, sorry, let's eat first, eat first."

Birkar also realized that this was not the place to discuss issues, so he smiled awkwardly and apologized.

Everyone chatted while eating. The topic was a little more relaxed this time, and the atmosphere in the box became lively again.

The guests and hosts enjoyed a meal.

Until the end of the show, Birkar wanted to ask Lin Mo to ask questions to discuss his thesis, but Qiu Chengtong interrupted Birkar's thoughts on the grounds that Lin Mo had to give a report tomorrow.

Birkar said goodbye to Lin Mo with a bit of resentment.

"Lin Mo, I was originally worried whether you would be nervous when you give a report tomorrow."

"But judging by your performance tonight, I think I'm worrying for nothing."

"You are very good. Not only are you academically competent, but you also have a big heart. This is very good. This will make you go further in the future. I suddenly regret that I didn't agree to your teacher Zhang's request before. "

On the way to send Lin Mo and the others back to the hotel, Fang Boliang held Lin Mo's hand and said with emotion, not knowing whether it was because he was a little drunk after drinking two drinks or for some other reason.

"Teacher Zhang's request? Regret?"

Lin Mo was at a loss.
