From small town academic to chief scientist

The popularity of Douyin has opened the eyes of countless people.

At least it opens the eyes of ordinary people, and it also speeds up the spread of information.

For example, the Zhouyi thesis was only known to the big guys in the country last night, and it was already spread all over the world at noon the next day.

The self-media's ability to set the pace is very exaggerated. All kinds of comments were flooded for a while, and with the help of thoughtful people to set the pace, if you want to be impartial, you have to thank the news from Ctv last night.

At this time, Xiao Wanyi also knew about it and immediately said to Zhou Yi:

"Junior, why don't you go online and take a look? Something big has happened. There are a lot of self-media to guide you."

Zhou Yi looked at the messages on Xiao Wanyi’s phone and said:

"Let me clarify."

He then clarified on four platforms and wrote:

[I did not plagiarize, it’s just that everyone’s papers happened to be published together. It’s not yet decided who is right and who is wrong. Don’t let the self-media lead you. 】

[Let me just say, how could God Zhou plagiarize other people’s work? I believe in you God Zhou! 】

[Who knows if it’s true or false? Do mortals like you know the value of this? The final result of Hilbert's 18th question, an answer spanning more than a century, can leave a mark in the history of mathematics and even win the Abel Prize. It is normal for a young man to make mistakes. Knowing his mistakes can greatly improve him. Zhouyi don't be harsh. 】

[Neutral people, wait for the results to come to light. I hope Zhou Shen didn’t plagiarize. 】

[Industry insiders, please tell me: The stacking problem of regular tetrahedrons is different from that of stacked spheres, and the proof knowledge used is also different. There must be unknown secrets involved. 】

There were a lot of comments of all kinds, which made Zhou Yi's veins bulge.

Shan Peng on the side said:

"Maybe someone is setting your pace, or is it deliberately setting your pace? Think about it, have you offended anyone recently?"

Zhouyi said:

"No, how could I offend people? I just shared some research directions of Zhou's geometry in the morning, and a lot of people thanked me before it was too late."

Ding Jian said:

"Let's read Hales' paper first and see if there are any mistakes in it."

Shan Peng shook his head and said:

"This matter is not that simple. Zhou Shen submitted the article the day before yesterday, and it was in the hands of various big guys yesterday. It was revealed today. Someone obviously came for the ICCM conference. Such a coincidence is definitely not a coincidence. Some people think I rushed to the ICCM conference.”

After saying this, Shan Peng glanced at Ding Jian intentionally or unintentionally, and the meaning was self-evident.

Ding Jian was silent, and then said after a while:

"Let's read the paper first. The game here is a matter above and has nothing to do with me. Zhou Shen and I are good friends!"

Then everyone was busy doing their own thing. After a while, Ding Jian said in surprise:

"This old guy from Hales is really sinister. He published a rubbing on arXiv in June, which was totally off the mark. He also said that he used Zhou's theorem."

Shan Peng and Xiao Wanyi on the side directly picked up their mobile phones and logged in to the website to check. When they saw it, it was true.

"The old guy is shameless. Zhou Shen must have not had time to write all the time during this period, otherwise he would have posted it long ago."

Shan Peng said.

Zhou Yi nodded and said:

"I have been busy during this period and have very little time to write the paper. I just finalized it a few days ago and finally submitted it. Although the proof methods involved in the two questions both used Zhou's geometry, some core points are still different, so it is necessary to Change, the length of the paper is also one or two hundred pages, and I have omitted many obvious proof steps."

Xiao Wanyi on the side became angrier the more she read the comments, and explained directly on the scarf of her millions of fans:

[Zhou Shen is right next to us. He just said that there are big differences between Kepler’s conjecture and the method of proving the stacking method of regular tetrahedrons. Although part of the core is Zhou’s geometry, others are not;

In addition, the paper was entirely written by Zhou Shen himself and was submitted just the day before yesterday. I am Xiao Wanyi, a prospective graduate student at Shuimu University, and I studied undergrad in Huadong. 】

But how could Xiao Wanyi be the opponent of professional trolls? She was sprayed to pieces.

Seeing that Xiao Wanyi was in a bad mood, Zhou Yi said:

"Ignore them, why bother with them? They are obviously trolls. I have read a third of his paper now, and no errors have been found yet."

Ding Jian on the side said in shock:

"Seeing so quickly?"

"Well, the proof process is very similar to mine. Many places do not require verification. It is no wonder that someone led me to the rhythm and said that I plagiarized. If I hadn't written it myself, I would have doubted whether there was something fishy in it."

Zhou Yi didn't bother to read the comments online, but Yu Da and Xia Xue both spoke for Zhou Yi online.

Even the official blog of Shuimu University is speaking out for Zhou Yi.

At this moment, Qiu Chengtong and Academician Yang Le gathered together, as well as the president of Shuimu University and others.

"It seems that someone deliberately set the pace. I don't know who it is. We have already investigated again."

The president of Shuimu University said.

"Maybe it's the person opposite. I'm not sure whether I can find out."

Academician Yang said.

"I have contacted my friends in Europe. Even if both papers are proven correct, the final result is still signed by Zhou Yi. I still have this energy."

Qiu Chengtong pushed up his glasses, with a hint of sullenness in his tone.

It was the first time that someone slapped me in the face like this. The last time was when I went to Beijing University.

Professor Milnor on the other side of the ocean also read the two people's papers from yesterday to today. With his level, he obviously discovered some errors in Hales's paper, and they were also fatal.

The reason why I didn't say it was because I wanted to see if Zhou Yi could find out.

Even if the proofs of both papers are correct, Milnor will not approve of Hales, and he will definitely speak for Zhouyi.

Professor Xiang Yi, who was at Chongqing University and had not yet returned to China, also stayed up late to read the papers of two people. He was skeptical of Hales's paper, but most of him was still disdainful.

Without morals, anything is possible.

Although the two papers look perfect and are similar in many places, in Xiang Yi's view, the differences may be fatal mistakes.

At this time, Zhou Yi was reading Hales' paper at an extremely fast speed.

They are all experts in the industry, and you will know who is right and who is wrong at a glance.

One afternoon, Zhou Yi didn't even have lunch, so Xiao Wanyi brought a roast duck for Zhou Yi to eat.

"Junior, let's eat something first. It's too late to look at it later."

Xiao Wanyi said softly, even though she was rejected last night, this could not stop her enthusiasm.

Zhouyi said:

"Thanks."

Then eat and watch.

After reading the last page of Hales's paper,

Zhou Yicai said:

"I thought this old guy was so powerful, but it turned out that the new argument involved in the paper still had errors."

"Ah, there's an error in Hales' paper?"

Xiao Wanyi said in surprise.

Zhou Yi nodded and said:

"Well, that's right. He likes to post rubbings on arXiv so much. I also go to arXiv to play."

Immediately, Zhou Yi returned to the room alone and began to write down the errors in Hales's paper.

[I have the following views on some of the proofs in Mr. Hales’s paper,,,]

Not long after, Zhou Yi wrote more than ten pages in a eloquent manner, all of which contained some fatal mistakes.

Zhou Yi didn't expect that there would be someone trying to prove the last point of Hilbert's Eighteen Questions.

Just after Zhou Yi expressed his opinion, the chairman of iFlytek approached Zhou Yi to discuss cooperation.

Liu Qingfeng approached Zhou Yi and offered him an annual salary of several million, but Zhou Yi refused.

Zhou Yi was also a little surprised that he was asked to collaborate on a project, which was a bit interesting.

I just don’t know what to do with cooperation.

I don’t know what to say, but thank you all for your support. Thank you all for being able to see it now. Spoiler alert, starting from here is some application.
