From failed candidate to chief scientist

Chapter 86 Bill Carr can only be regarded as a second work
"Hey, there's another new email?"

Before going to bed, Al Madsen looked at his mailbox and saw a new reminder for 1 in his inbox. He had obsessive-compulsive disorder and moved the mouse over.

"Oh, it's Zhang's email..."

Madsen suddenly felt no longer sleepy.

"On the proof of Kakeya's conjecture."

"Wait, Bill Carr?"

Madsen was stunned for a moment.

Because in the author column, the name is clearly written, Bill Carr, and Bill Carr is ranked behind the other name.

Coucher is the second game?

Madsen found it a bit incredible.

The dignified Fields winner is just a second player?
Madsen looked at the first author.

"Author, Lin Mo."

"Oh, it's Zhang's student, so that's no problem."

"Wait! Kakeya guesses?"

"Does this prove Kakeya's conjecture?"

Madsen was startled again.

Madsen couldn't wait to read the paper.

A few hours later, Madsen finally rubbed his sore eyes and looked away from the screen, a look of disbelief on his face.

Someone actually proved Kakeya’s conjecture!
This conjecture was once thought to be wrong and impossible to realize, but unexpectedly, it was actually proven?

Madsen has no doubts about the validity of this proof process. After all, this is a proof involving the participation of Fields Medal winner Bill Carr.

As for Lin Mo, Madsen naturally knew it very well. The Kratz conjecture was proved by Lin Mo last time, but how long had it been?It has been less than two weeks since the last issue of "Acta Mathematica" was published. Lin Mo has now proved Kakeya's conjecture?

Isn't this Lin Mo really a genius?

No, genius is no longer enough to describe Lin Mo. This should be considered a monster, right?

No one has ever been able to prove two conjectures in a short period of time.

This speed...

Madsen couldn't help but take a breath.

"Send it, it must be sent, send it immediately!"

Madsen didn’t even hesitate for a second. He even decided to publish the manuscript if he had enough to review it.

Of course, it is impossible to publish immediately. After all, "Acta Mathematica Sinica" is a physical journal, not an electronic journal, and it can be published at any time.

However, this does not prevent Madsen from listing this paper as the cover paper of the next issue of Acta Mathematica.

Even if it's not for Lin Mo's sake, I still have to give this paper a cover for the sake of Bill Carr's name. What's more, the quality of this paper also deserves a cover.

As for Zhang Qihua?
Zhang Qihua is still the corresponding author this time, but he is the corresponding author in the literal sense.

This starts with the final draft of this paper.

Although Lin Mo proved Kakeya's conjecture, he failed to complete the system's task, so Lin Mo was not too concerned about it.

He dragged Bill Carr to discuss the problem of Fourier transform, and had no time to write the proof process into a paper.

This made Shan Gang on the side roll his eyes.

Although Kakeya's guess is not particularly famous, it is still a guess. How many people are eager to prove him so that it can become the basis for his promotion.

Put this proof somewhere else, publish it in a top journal, and win a domestic mathematics award.

But who could have imagined that such a result would be turned a blind eye in this mathematics research center.

Shan Gang wanted to shout, "If you don't want it, give it to me!"But good professional ethics does not allow her to do such a thing.

In the end, out of desperation, Zhang Qihua took the initiative. He transcribed the proof process on the wall, compiled it into a paper, and submitted it to the Journal of Mathematics.

And this time, the other side.

"Principal, you are really easy for me to find!"

After many attempts, Tian Fangyi finally blocked Qi Zhenhai, the president of Dongshan University.

Qi Zhenhai scratched his head in frustration.

He tried to hide and hide, and kept asking his secretary to announce that he was not there. He avoided Tian Fang, but he didn't think about it, and still didn't avoid it, leaving Tian Fang to block him.

He can be said to love and hate Tian Fangyi.

What I love is that Tian Fangyi can always bring him good news. A top publication and a Kratz conjecture make Dongshan University well-known in the academic world.

What I hate is that Tian Fangyi is like a blood-sucking insect that sucks the bones and knocks the marrow. Every time he takes the opportunity, he takes a lot of benefits from him.

He had previously promised a floor to the Mathematics Research Center, but he regretted it after saying it, and kept putting it off. Unexpectedly, Tian Fangyi actually took the opportunity to make him publicly admit that he had fulfilled the promise of that floor.

Because of this, he was frequently accused and criticized by other school committee members at school committee meetings, saying that he was partial.

There is no way, we are all human beings, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are people, there are interests, no matter what rivers and lakes or academic circles, it's all the same.

For this benefit, everyone was friendly on the surface, but behind the scenes they were really fighting to the death.

Although he was the principal, he was still angry because of this matter.

Especially after Tian Fangyi took over that floor, he spent a lot of money to decorate the Mathematics Research Center... Although it is not luxurious, it is also extremely luxurious and comfortable. Office space, but thought it was some kind of leisure center.

For this reason, many people came to Qi Zhenhai to complain and make small reports.

There are many who say that the Mathematics Research Center exceeds standards and specifications.

It is said that Tian Fang is a hedonist, commits crimes against the will of others, and violates regulations.

Some people say that mathematics research centers receive high salaries and high subsidies.

It was even said that Tian Fangyi misappropriated funds from scientific research projects and used them for decoration, and relevant evidence was also produced.

In short, there are many people who are popular, and the high salary of the Mathematics Research Center has aroused the jealousy of too many people.

Every time Qi Zhenhai heard this, he cursed Tian Fangyi in his heart for not being low-key and causing so much trouble.

Therefore, when he saw Tian Fangyi now, he became very angry. He was even a little annoyed to see Tian Fangyi, so he avoided Tian Fangyi.

But despite trying to hide, Tian Fangyi still blocked him.

"Hmph! What are you doing here again?"

Qi Zhenhai glanced at Tian Fangyi angrily.

"Boss, what are you saying? I can't come to you to report my work if I have nothing to do?"

Tian Fang smiled and ignored Qi Zhenhai's stern face.

"If you have anything to say, tell me quickly. I'm busy. I have a meeting soon."

As he spoke, Qi Zhenhai lowered his head to look at his watch, picked up the notebook on the table, and prepared to leave, showing that he was very busy and had no time.

"Hey, leader, I just want to say a few words so as not to delay your meeting."

Qi Zhenhai remained unmoved and continued to walk out.

"Leader, I'm here to tell you the good news!"

Announcement?

Qi Zhenhai glanced at Tian Fangyi suspiciously. His body posture did not change, and he still looked like he was about to go out, but his steps paused.

When Tian Fang saw this, he knew that his opportunity had come.
