Brother, I can’t move. Sister, please try harder.

Chapter 245: The Loneliness of "Annals of Mathematics"
princeton,

"another beautiful day."

Early in the morning, Professor James first made himself a cup of handmade coffee, and then slowly sat down at his desk.

While sipping coffee, I turned on the computer.

Every day, the first thing Professor James does when he shows up in the office is to check his mailbox.

He would go through all the emails to make sure there were no urgent matters that needed his priority.

It was the same today. After Professor James turned on the computer, he immediately logged into his mailbox.

As a senior math expert, the emails I receive every day are never less than double digits.

There are daily greetings from friends of the same generation, as well as questions and advice from some junior students.

Of course, there are also some who come to fish in troubled waters.

Of course, Professor James has already had a set of standards for his work.

He has marked some particularly important senders, and all marked emails will receive priority processing from him.

Just like at this moment, there was a marked email that was particularly conspicuous and immediately attracted Professor James' attention.

"Invitation from "Mathematical Decryption"?"

Seeing this email, James even forgot to drink his favorite handmade coffee and couldn't wait to open the email.

Sure enough, as the title of the email he just saw showed, it was indeed an invitation letter, an invitation letter inviting him to do peer review.

At the same time, Professor James also became extremely curious: "Isn't it Professor Chen Mo's paper again?"

As a former senior editor of the "Annals of Mathematics", Professor James knows very well what kind of process peer review is. Only by agreeing to the invitation can you receive papers that require peer review.

However, this is just receiving the paper. As for the author's information, it will be hidden.

Ensure that every peer-reviewed paper receives a fair and impartial review.

This is also the greatest significance of peer review.

Without hesitation, Professor James immediately responded to the email and expressed his willingness to be a peer reviewer.

The person in charge of the invitation this time was Li Chen. He was also extremely efficient. After receiving the email of Professor James's agreement, he immediately replied with a link.

Through this link, you can log in to the backend of "Mathematical Decryption" to view and download the corresponding papers.

At the same time, corresponding peer review results can also be submitted through this link.

After receiving the reply email, Professor James immediately downloaded the paper through the link.

And I couldn't wait to open the paper.

Suddenly, he was also shocked and blurted out: "Young-Mills equation?"

At this moment, Professor James already had the answer in his mind. There is no doubt that this is another masterpiece of Professor Chen Mo.

There is no way, who in this world can do this?
The world's seven major mathematical millennium problems are as simple as chopping vegetables, and they are solved one after another.

Professor James even had the illusion that these difficult problems did not exist in front of Professor Chen Mo whether they could be solved or not, only whether he was willing to solve them.

"Let me take a good look at Professor Chen Mo's latest masterpiece!"

Without too much hesitation, Professor James immediately got into work.

Although informationization is now generally practiced, Professor James still likes something primitive.

Just like reading papers, he still prefers paper.

Therefore, no matter how impatient he was, he still held back his temper and printed out the paper first.

After getting the paper paper, there was finally nothing that could restrain Professor James, and he completely let himself go.

Completely immersed in the paper
The same scene not only appeared here with Professor James.

Professor Achille of Stanford, Professor Reske of Oxford, and others who also received the invitation also saw exactly the same scene.

Sure enough, there is no airtight wall in this world.

Although it is still in the peer review stage, the proof of the Yang-Mills equation was leaked as expected.

Of course, there was no surprise. As soon as the news came out, it immediately caused a sensation in the entire mathematics community.

There was no exception, and it immediately caused a heated discussion:
[Quadratic equation of two variables: Is the news reliable? 】

[Odd and even unchanged: I am a student of Professor James. I saw it secretly. Do you think it is reliable or not? 】

[Titan 007: I can also confirm this, because I also secretly saw it from my teacher. 】

[Smart Kite: If it is true, I don’t have to guess. It is definitely another masterpiece of Professor Chen Mo. 】

[Frog who loves traveling: Do I need to say this?Even a fool knows this. 】

[Passionate Little Train: In the final analysis, Professor Chen Mo is still the one who solves the world’s millennium problems. 】

[Top Milk Tea: I just want to know, are there any problems in this world that can make it difficult for him? 】

At the same time, the world's top mathematics journals were a little restless.

For example, in the editorial office of "Annals of Mathematics" at the moment, the editor-in-chief Irene is sitting at the main seat in the conference room with a sad face, and a group of editors with sad faces are also sitting below.

Editor-in-Chief Eileen did not speak, but someone below spoke up first: "Girl Eileen, we must find a way, otherwise if "Mathematical Decryption" continues to rise, there will be nothing like our "Mathematics Annual" in the future.

As soon as the topic started, people immediately echoed: "That's right! If "Mathematical Decryption" continues to rise, our "Annual Review of Mathematics" will be very passive."

"There is no need to worry about the future. Right now, our "Annual Review of Mathematics" is already very passive. I just calculated the sales data of this issue of our "Annual Review of Mathematics" and it has dropped by more than 3%."

What this person said just now really shocked many people again.

"No way? Directly reduced by 3%?"

"It is unimaginable that this has never seen such a large decline since the publication of the Annals of Mathematics."

"This matter is more serious than I thought!"

"It seems that "Mathematical Decryption" is really unstoppable!"

The following discussions were like industrious bees "buzzing" into Editor-in-Chief Eileen's ears, making her more and more restless.

In fact, she already knew what was being discussed below, but she couldn't think of any solution after much thought, which was why she called everyone here for this meeting.

Brainstorm ideas and see if you can come up with something useful.

Finally, Eileen couldn't hold it anymore and shouted: "Okay, I've called everyone here. I don't want to listen to your nonsense. We all need to quickly think of ways to curb the development momentum of "Mathematical Decryption". , or how can we reverse the decline of our Annals of Mathematics?”

However, to disappoint Irene, her words only brought silence and a long silence.

In fact, I don’t blame everyone for this.Is there a solution that can be found just by thinking about it?

What's more, now that we are faced with a completely unsolvable problem, it is even more impossible to say that there is a solution.

At this moment, facing Professor Chen Mo who has created miracles time and time again, in the eyes of this group of people, it is a completely unsolvable problem.

Everyone was quiet and didn't say a word, which completely angered the editor-in-chief Irene.

At this moment, she was like a irritated shrew: "Why are you all so silent? Don't you usually have a lot to say? Why are you all so silent all of a sudden?"

"You are all trash, and you can't count on anything at the critical moment."

Finally, under Eileen's shrew-like curses, someone couldn't hold back and decided not to remain silent any longer.

He said angrily: "We are here today not because of some people's reckless behavior that forced Professor Chen Mo to leave. Otherwise, where would we be today?"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone stared dumbfounded at Professor Nex who said this.

Anyone who knows him well knows that Professor Nix is ​​close friends with Professor James, who has resigned.

At the same time, except for the editor-in-chief Irene, everyone couldn't help but secretly give Professor Naix a thumbs up.

Although the editor-in-chief Irene forced Professor Chen Mo to leave, this is already an open secret, but Professor Nex can blatantly say it, which is still very worthy of everyone's admiration.

Of course, there were no exceptions. Professor Naix’s words really made the editor-in-chief Irene crazy.

She pointed at Professor Nix with an extremely trembling finger: "If you have the guts, can you say it again?"

Now that he has reached this level, Professor Nex naturally no longer fears Irene. At worst, he will quit like his best friend James.

Therefore, Professor Nex did not give Irene any face, and immediately retorted: "Just say it, if you hadn't driven Professor Chen Mo away because of your chaos, there would be no "Mathematical Decryption" at all. This journal and our Annals of Mathematics will never be in such a situation."

This time Nex made no secret of it and called her by name, and Irene was immediately made mad.

"Bang bang."

After frantically grabbing a handful of hair, Erin slapped the table crazily and pointed at Professor Naix: "It's the other way around. It's really the other way around."

Finally, he waved his hand: "Nikes, I am now officially informing you that you have been removed from the editorial board of the "Annals of Mathematics"."

"Go away I don't want to see you again."

Obviously, Professor Naix had been mentally prepared for a long time, and he was extremely tough: "Just leave, with an editor like you here, staying here will only be a waste of time!"

After saying that, Professor Nex left without any hesitation or even any nostalgia.

Obviously, Erin was still angry, and Nex's departure could not completely eliminate her anger.

Erin stared at the others angrily: "Who else? If anyone else is dissatisfied with me, please leave now."

Nex was not the only one with backbone present now. In the blink of an eye, three people stood up one after another.

At the same time, these three people also made bold statements one after another:

"Professor Nex is absolutely right. If it weren't for you, how could we be like this?"

"Do you think that by driving us all away, you can stop everyone from talking?"

"Nex has a saying that is particularly right. As long as you are here, staying here will only be a waste of time."

After saying that, the three of them left with great strength, just like Professor Nex just did.

At the same time, as expected, Erin was immediately driven crazy again.

And compared to just now, the veins on her face are popping out now, and her words have become incoherent: "Crazy, they are all crazy."

"Editor-in-Chief Erin?"

"Editor-in-Chief Erin, are you okay?"

"Wake up."

"call the ambulance."

In the end, it ended with Erin fainting, ending this extremely funny meeting.

Professor Nix was worthy of being Professor James' best friend. After he left the conference room, he immediately came to Professor James' office.

At this moment, Professor James was still completely immersed in deciphering the Yang-Mills equation, and was completely unaware of Nex's arrival.

Professor Nix did not bother James, but instead made himself a cup of handmade coffee that James had collected.

Enjoying solitude may be the nature of every math person!

Just like Professor Nex at this moment, he was enjoying the delicious coffee while falling into endless contemplation.

This seemed to be a tacit understanding between the two. No one disturbed the other. This state lasted for a full two hours, and finally ended with Professor James putting down the paper in his hand and discovering the existence of Nex.

Professor James looked at Nex in astonishment: "Why are you here?"

Professor Naix said no nonsense and said eight words: "I left the "Annals of Mathematics"!"

James was not as surprised as he imagined, but replied very calmly: "I know, sooner or later there will be such a day."

Then he looked at Nex playfully: "Did something happen again?"

Professor Nix smiled calmly: "Sure enough, I can't hide anything from you."

Professor James also smiled lightly and said nothing. He quietly watched Nex waiting for his next words.

Obviously, there is a tacit understanding between Nex and Professor James.

Without keeping Professor James waiting, Naix immediately continued: "James, you don't know, the sales volume of our "Annual Review of Mathematics" has dropped by [-]% this time."

At this point, Professor Naix also became angry: "It's all the fault of that old witch. If she hadn't been messing around and forced Professor Chen Mo away, there would be no "Mathematical Decryption", let alone "Mathematical Decryption". "The Loneliness of Annals of Mathematics"

When he heard that the sales volume of "Annals of Mathematics" had dropped by [-]%, James was slightly shocked, and even a little regretful.

At the beginning, "Annals of Mathematics" was so famous in the mathematics community, but it fell into disrepute so quickly.

However, this was actually something James expected, but he didn't expect it to be so fast.

Professor Chen Mo is a mathematical genius who is rare to see in a thousand years. His rise is simply unstoppable.

But some people just like to cover their eyes and deceive their ears.

Loneliness, isn’t that something that happens sooner or later?
Now it's just that the speed is so much faster.

When Professor James was silent, Professor Naix continued: "I am certain that as Professor Chen Mo continues to rise, the sales of "Annals of Mathematics" will continue to plummet, and it will eventually become a journal that no one cares about."

Although what Nex said did not sound good, James had to admit that this was an indisputable reality.

From the day Chen Mo left "Annals of Mathematics", the future of "Annals of Mathematics" has already been determined.
No one can change it.
Even Professor James is certain that such a future will not only appear in the "Annals of Mathematics".

The remaining annual magazines will not fare well either.
In the end, there was no way to escape the fate of decline.
