Xueba's life simulator

Chapter 239 Student's Suspicion

It did take some time for Liu Haowen to write out the complete proof process of Zhou’s conjecture, but it didn’t take too long. Not long after the Huaguo University of Science and Technology started school in early September, Liu Haowen completed his for the first time. The complete proof process of Zhou's conjecture was handed over to Zhou Ming.

Zhou Ming is Liu Haowen's doctoral supervisor, and Zhou's guess is Liu Haowen's doctoral thesis. It is normal for him to show Zhou Ming his completed doctoral thesis. After all, Zhou Ming can also help him find out if there is any in his thesis what went wrong.

And Zhou Ming, who just found out that Liu Haowen had completed the proof process of Zhou’s conjecture, was a little surprised, because when Liu Haowen told him about it and handed over his proof process to Zhou Ming, Zhou Ming still hadn’t received the life simulator’s task. Done message.

This is strange, Liu Haowen even wrote out the proof process of Zhou's conjecture, why hasn't the life simulator notified him that the task has been completed?
Is it possible that there is always a problem with my understanding of the task?Or is there something I did in the middle that didn’t meet the requirements of the life simulator?
Thinking of this, Zhou Ming was suddenly upset.

Because if Liu Haowen's situation can't be counted as one of the conditions for completing this life simulator mission, then he really can't think of what to do in order to meet the conditions for completing this life simulator mission.

But no matter how upset he was, Zhou Ming still looked very plain on the surface, and he said to Liu Haowen: "Okay, I will read your article as soon as possible, and if there is anything that needs to be changed, I will also inform you."

"Ugh."

After Liu Haowen left Zhou Ming's office, Zhou Ming sighed, picked up the papers that Liu Haowen had sorted out and put on his desk, and began to look through them carefully.

Unlike Li Mingzhi and others who read Zhou Ming's proofs of twin prime numbers and Goldbach's conjecture, Zhou Ming read Liu Haowen's proof of Zhou's conjecture. The proof process of Zhou's conjecture did not take long. Read it completely.

After reading it, Zhou Ming finally knew why the life simulator didn’t notify him that the task had been completed or the progress of the task, because Zhou Ming found that there were many problems in the proof process of Liu Haowen, and he had to say that the life simulator was still very Rigorous.

Soon, Zhou Ming contacted Liu Haowen and asked him to come to his office to talk to him about his thesis.

As soon as he received the message from Zhou Ming, and it was about his thesis, Liu Haowen hurried to Zhou Ming's office.

"The whole process of your proof is not bad, but if you just send it out like this, it will definitely not be recognized by the mathematics community. Because you have made many mistakes in the proof process. In fact, these mistakes are all yours. avoidable……"

After seeing Liu Haowen, Zhou Ming said to him, and pointed out some mistakes in his proof process.

However, Zhou Ming only pointed out these mistakes, and didn't tell Liu Haowen how to correct them. How to correct them was his business. Zhou Ming didn't want to be unable to complete his task because of the last step.

In this way, after Liu Haowen learned from Zhou Ming that there were some problems in the process of proving Zhou's conjecture, he went back and continued to revise, and he went back and forth to revise and revise, until mid-September, when Zhou Ming finally Finally, I saw the long-lost task completion prompt on the life simulator interface.

"This is already the third time he has revised it, and it is finally completed. I have to say that it is really troublesome for these students to write papers."

When Zhou Ming learned from the life simulator that the task was completed, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening. At this time, he was alone in his room busy with his own affairs, when he suddenly received a message from the life simulator. hint.

At this time, Shen Qingqiu had already left Luzhou with the aid team of the Future Biotechnology Company, and went back to Yundian. Zhou Ming also accompanied her back to Yundian, and met Shen Qingqiu's grandma.

Zhou Ming's cousin and cousin have also officially started school, and his graduate students, majoring in biology, have also joined his experimental team.

As for the mathematics direction, they are still studying. Due to Liu Haowen's situation, Zhou Ming is not in a hurry to let them choose graduation topics.

After learning from the life simulator that the task was completed, Zhou Ming knew that Liu Haowen had truly completed the proof of Zhou's conjecture, and there was no need to change it. The reason why he said it was troublesome was because if it was him, he would really have to. Once the idea of ​​proof is clarified, there is no need to change it so many times.

After all, Liu Haowen and his mentor can help to read the paper and point out the mistakes in his proof process.

But Zhou Mingke was different. After he finished writing the proof process, he directly sorted it out and submitted it. No one would come to point out his mistakes before publishing it.

Even if someone wanted to point it out in a short time, it might not be an easy task, at least not as easy as Zhou Ming pointed out the mistakes in Liu Haowen's proof process.

Moreover, many mathematical problems in life usually take several years from when someone says they have been solved to when his proof is recognized by the mathematics community. How could it be possible to read it in a few days and point out the mistakes.

Some people pointed out mistakes, it is very likely that they did not understand Zhou Ming's proof process, and there was nothing wrong in fact.

[Do you use a life simulator? 】

After talking a few words to himself, Zhou Ming turned his attention to the life simulator again. Looking at this line of words on the interface, Zhou Ming thought for a while and did not immediately choose to simulate.

After all, it's already past nine o'clock. Ever since the third-person view function was enabled in the life simulator, each simulation took a long time. Zhou Ming didn't want to wait until the simulation was over and it was already dawn outside.

Moreover, since Liu Haowen has completed the revision, he will probably send the revised paper to himself soon. Zhou Ming will also tell Liu Haowen about his proof of Zhou's conjecture tomorrow. If he stays up late today, he will definitely not have the energy for tomorrow. .

Sure enough, Liu Haowen sent Zhou Ming a document just over an hour after Zhou Ming knew from the life simulator that he had completed the task.

"Teacher, I've already revised the thesis, it's so late now, you can read it tomorrow, I just want to send it to you sooner." After Liu Haowen sent the thesis to Zhou Ming, he also sent Zhou Ming such a sentence.

But he was right, it was indeed not early now, it was past ten o'clock, almost eleven o'clock.

Since he had read Liu Haowen's paper several times before, Zhou Ming didn't sleep after receiving the paper from Liu Haowen, so he read it directly, and it didn't take long anyway.

It took less than an hour to read this time, and Zhou Ming finished reading the revised paper sent by Liu Haowen. After reading it, Zhou Ming sent Liu Haowen a message.

[I have read the paper, there is no problem, you can send it out. 】

But when Zhou Ming sent this message to Liu Haowen, Liu Haowen had already fallen asleep.

When Liu Haowen got up the next day, turned on his phone and saw the message sent by Zhou Ming, Liu Haowen was so happy that he almost cried out.

Originally, I thought I could pass it once at first, but who knew that I had to revise it several times and never passed it. This greatly discouraged Liu Haowen's enthusiasm.

Now that it's finally over, Liu Haowen is of course happy.

After going to the cafeteria to have breakfast in the morning, Liu Haowen came to Zhou Ming's office to find Zhou Ming.

"Teacher, which journal do you think is better for my paper proving Zhou's conjecture to be submitted to?" Liu Haowen came to Zhou Ming's office and asked Zhou Ming after finding him.

"Like Zhou's conjecture, it is of course best to submit to the four major journals in the mathematics world.

However, I have also contributed to "New Advances in Mathematics" and "Yearbook of Mathematics" for these four major journals, because I have contributed most to "Yearbook of Mathematics" and I am most familiar with the situation of this journal, so if you ask me, Naturally, I recommend you to contribute to the Yearbook of Mathematics. "

Zhou Ming said to his students, in fact, Liu Haowen really wants to submit a paper to any of the four major journals. No matter which one he submits for such a paper, he will definitely be able to pass it.

"By the way, you have completed the proof of Zhou's conjecture, and you have also completed your doctoral studies.

Although you won't be able to get your doctorate certificate until June next year, and your doctoral study career will be officially over, but after finishing your dissertation, you will have nothing to do, and it is no different from graduating. What are your plans after that? ?

Are you planning to go abroad, or do you want to stay at home? "

Zhou Ming asked Liu Haowen about his future plans. After all, he was the first student to become his doctoral student and also the first to graduate. Zhou Ming naturally wanted to care about his future.

"We who study mathematics used to go abroad because we might learn more knowledge abroad. To be honest, there is another thing..." When he said this, Liu Haowen looked at Zhou Ming.

"Tell me, is there anything you can't talk to me about?" Zhou Ming knew what Liu Haowen meant when he saw his appearance. The latter words must be related to the academic atmosphere in China, so he said to him.

Zhou Ming is not one of those senior professors, and the current domestic academic atmosphere and atmosphere, as well as the situation of the academic circle, are not driven by him, and Liu Haowen has nothing to do with him.

"Many young people go abroad, and the room for advancement and scientific research atmosphere are actually better for them.

But of course, it’s definitely better to be here than to go outside, and I don’t think about going abroad. If I thought so, I didn’t stay in Peking University when I was a graduate student, and went abroad directly.

So, I plan to stay in China after graduation. "Liu Haowen said.

"Hmm." Hearing what Liu Haowen said, Zhou Ming nodded, "Are you going to stay at Huaguo University of Science and Technology? Or go back to Peking University?"

"Of course I'll stay here. I want to continue learning with you. This time I can prove that Zhou's conjecture is actually related to the knowledge points you compiled for us. Without your new knowledge, I would I'm afraid it won't solve Zhou's conjecture.

In fact, before I transferred to Huaguo University of Science and Technology, I didn't even think that I could solve Zhou's conjecture.

After all, although the expression of Zhou's conjecture seems to be simpler than many other conjectures, it is still quite difficult to decipher this conjecture, at least according to the previous research literature, although there are some mathematicians and mathematics enthusiasts I tried to prove Zhou's conjecture, but I still got nothing. I couldn't even find a relevant reference. "

Liu Haowen told Zhou Ming that his paper proving Zhou's conjecture did not cite many documents, and several of them cited Zhou Ming's papers.

And when he said this, Liu Haowen suddenly became a little mysterious, and his voice was much lower than before.

He walked up to Zhou Ming, first turned his head to look at the door of Zhou Ming's office, then turned his head back casually, and said to Zhou Ming in a low voice: "Teacher, in fact, after thinking of the proof of Zhou Ming's conjecture, until now Here, I have always had a guess in my heart."

"What guess?" Zhou Ming asked curiously.

"Could it be that you have thought of the solution to Zhou's conjecture long ago, but you just haven't announced it? Because after I thought of this method, and when I thought of you solving my puzzled problems before, no matter what I thought, I felt It's all like you already know the full proof process.

This feels like to me... like when I was in elementary school and junior high school, I encountered some math problems that I didn't know, and then I asked my math teacher, and they could always talk about the key points and teach me , but they already knew the answer when they taught me. "

Liu Haowen told Zhou Ming that the reason why he was talking about elementary school and junior high school instead of high school was because even if he asked his math teacher about the math problems he encountered in high school, the teacher would not answer unless the teacher read the answers in advance. .

After all, Liu Haowen participated in the International Mathematical Olympiad when he was in high school. The mathematics level of the high school students participating in these competitions has surpassed most high school mathematics teachers. Those who have participated in the International Mathematical Olympiad before, but graduated from college Except for those who go to high school to become math teachers.

"That's not true. What I have solved are the questions you asked me. This is not the whole process of proving Zhou's conjecture, but just a small part of it." Zhou Ming explained, of course he couldn't tell the truth, otherwise This was a huge blow to Liu Haowen, and it even gave him the idea of ​​directly writing Zhou Ming's name in the thesis.

After Liu Haowen heard Zhou Ming's denial, he didn't ask any more questions. After all, this matter was indeed impossible if he thought about it carefully.

Not only in China, but also in the entire academic world around the world, it is not impossible to occupy the achievements of students, but it is not too much. After all, doing scientific research is not as easy as ordinary people imagine, and the achievements of many students are not worth their money. The supervisor takes the risk to occupy, and the student's thesis supervisor can also write the corresponding author.

However, there are many supervisors who squeeze students, and it can even be said to be a very common phenomenon. After all, the relationship between graduate students, especially doctoral students, and their supervisors is not like teachers and students, but more like teachers and employees.

If you want to say that the teacher gave his research results to the students, this is even more fantasy. No one will believe it if you say it. This is why Liu Haowen believed what Zhou Ming said so quickly.

If Zhou Ming had really thought up the proof method of Zhou's conjecture before, he really couldn't figure out why Zhou Ming didn't publish it?It won't take Zhou Ming much time.

In terms of mathematics, this is the hypothetical method. If the idea is true and the conclusion contradicts the reality, then the hypothesis is not valid. This is a method Liu Haowen often uses.
