Chapter 169 The Evidence Thrown in Your Face

Rushing back to China from Switzerland, Chen Zhengping accompanied Xu Chuan back to NTU.

"Welcome home, classmate Xu Chuan."

Rong Zhizhuan greeted Xu Chuan at the school gate with a smile.

"Dean Rong, Dean Yu."

Xu Chuan greeted the two elders respectfully.

"I heard that you solved the mystery of the proton radius at CERN this time. Congratulations."

On the side, Yu Yongwang praised with a smile.

"It's an insignificant achievement, but I still have a lot to learn." Xu Chuan said modestly.

Hearing this, Rong Zhizhuan and Yu Yongwang both smiled and shook their heads, sighing: "You are still so humble. If solving the mystery of the proton radius is an insignificant achievement, then what else can you be considered famous for? Achievement?"

"If all students could think like you, there would be no problems that could stop us."

"Okay, let's go in first. It's not good to stand at the door all the time."

The group of people came to a conference room. Not only the deans of the Institute of Science and Technology and the two institutes of science and technology were present, but also the leaders of the Propaganda Department also rushed over.

As the most outstanding student of NTU in the past ten years, Xu Chuan is still very concerned about by the school.

At the beginning of the meeting, Xu Chuan briefly introduced the situation of the matter, and several people in the conference room immediately became excited.

"Shameless! It's possible to do such a thing as complete plagiarism."

"Peking University really goes back to teaching more and more. A graduate tutor blatantly plagiarized and had no teacher ethics!"

"Don't worry, Mr. Xu Chuan, no matter what, the school will not let our students be wronged."

"This time Peking University Professor Mo plagiarized your mathematical theories and calculations. The school immediately contacted the media reporters to speak out on your behalf."

"In addition, the school will prepare a lawyer's letter, including suing Peking University Mo Kun and "Progress in Mathematics". For this kind of plagiarism, the other party must retract the manuscript and apologize for compensation."

"Plagiarism is the most serious infringement of copyright and should be dealt with seriously."

In the office, the leaders of NTU banged the table in anger.

This matter is not only about plagiarism, but also about NTU’s protection of students. If something happens to a student, the school will immediately stand up and protect the interests of the students.

This not only unites teachers and students inside and outside the school, but also expands the school's reputation.

"This matter is troublesome to all the teachers and leaders."

Xu Chuan stood up and bowed slightly. Although he kept the evidence in his hand, he might not be able to successfully beat Mo Kun to death.

With NTU’s strong support, we will have more hope and certainty.

Not all professors call animals. Even though the forest is big and there are all kinds of birds, calling animals will never become mainstream.

Plagiarism and misappropriation of other people's research results will eventually be punished.

Peking University, on campus.

Mo Kun hummed a little tune and walked on campus, flipping through public opinion news on the Internet as he walked.

[Peking University is still capable. I hope that with a few more such talents, the country’s basic sciences can develop. 】

[Now, look, I said it before, it’s not necessarily plagiarism. Peking University responded publicly. 】

[It’s still okay. Professor Mo apologized to Professor Avila, and also added his name to the paper and put it in a group. This sincerity is enough. 】

[And what about that master who topped the college entrance examination? Don't see his name? Nor did he apologize. Looking at the previous news, Professor Avila said that most of the theories and data were completed by Xu Chuan. If he wanted to apologize, he should also apologize to Xu Chuan. 】

[Haha, you really believe it. That big guy is undeniably awesome, but the Weir-Berry conjecture and the Langlands Program are two completely different fields. Not every genius is called Terence Tao. 】

【.】

Reading these comments, Mo Kun felt even more happy. Through his teacher's suggestions and the operation of Peking University, the opinions on the Internet have reversed a lot recently, which is much better than he had expected before.

As far as he was concerned, if there were no other accidents, this matter would have basically passed by like this.

And he will also become the prover of a famous mathematical hypothesis, receive a school bonus, be promoted to doctoral supervisor, and reach the pinnacle of life.

"I didn't expect that people would still have such opportunities in their old age."

Mo Kun squinted his eyes and thought happily.

Suddenly, his cell phone rang in his pocket. He took it out and saw that it was his mentor Tian Gang calling.

"Where are you? Come to my office now."

After saying that, Tian Gang hung up the phone.

Mo Kun frowned slightly while holding the phone. He was a very sensitive person. The tone of his tutor Tian Gang's words was a little different from usual. He immediately thought of proving the non-null hypothesis of the L-function.

As the saying goes, if you don't want others to know, you have to do nothing yourself.

When you do something bad, even if others don't know it, you always know it, and this is what you fear the most.

It can be said that whenever there is any disturbance, you will involuntarily think of it, worry about gains and losses, and be frightened.

Taking a deep breath, Mo Kun no longer had the good mood before, and walked towards the teaching building in a dull tone.

Knocking on the office door, a voice came from inside.

"Come in."

Mo Kun walked in. Tian Gang was sitting on an office chair, holding a tablet in his hand.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

Seeing Mo Kun, Tian Gang pushed the platform over his desk, with an open news report on it.

Mo Kun flipped through it and found that it was an attack and accusation from Nanjing University, accusing him of seriously plagiarizing the mathematical ideas, theories and data of Nanjing University's doctoral student Xu Chuan.

As soon as this news report came out, the public opinion that had gradually calmed down was instantly pulled up again.

A top 985 university in China has fallen, and there are a lot of things involved.

Unlike Professor Arthur Avila before, although he is a Fields Medal winner, he is not a Chinese after all, and his influence on the country is relatively small.

But Nanjing University is different. Although Nanjing University is not as good as Peking University in the ranking of domestic universities, it has been established for a long time and has cultivated many celebrity alumni, and has enough power in the country.

Nanjing University personally fell, and Peking University also had to consider the situation.

"Didn't you say before that this was a communication between you and Professor Avila? What's the situation with Xu Chuan appearing?" Tian Gang knocked on the mahogany desk and asked.

"He was indeed present. In addition to him, there was also a student from Sun Moon University. I have mentioned this before."

Mo Kun replied calmly, he still had to find a way to stabilize the situation.

"But you didn't say that he was the main contributor to this theory." Tian Gang asked with a slightly raised tone.

"Xu Chuan did participate, but his contribution was not high, teacher." Mo Kun followed Tian Gang's words and continued.

"He is just a doctoral student, a doctoral student, and he is only 18 years old. Even if he studies well, what ability can he have?"

"He and the other person are just students. Since they are students, they are still in the learning stage. The non-zero hypothesis of L-function is the core problem of L-function in the Langlands program. He probably hasn't touched such a problem yet."

Mo Kun is still quibbling for himself. He is betting that no one can know the details of what happened a few months ago.

Hearing this, Tian Gang laughed angrily: "He has no mathematical ability? Did you participate in the Morningstar Mathematics Award in May for nothing?"

"He proved the world-class Weyl-Berry conjecture and won the Morningstar Mathematics Award. For a mathematician like this, you say he has no mathematical ability?"

Mo Kun: "But the Weyl-Berry conjecture is a difficult problem in the field of isospectral and partial differential equations, while the L-function non-zero hypothesis is in the field of number theory and number fields."

"These are two completely different fields. In just one year, there can be major achievements in both fields. Teacher, do you think it is possible? Even Terence Tao is not so evil."

Tian Gang snorted and laughed, and said: "I think it is not important whether it is possible or not. The key is that they have directly thrown out the evidence!"

"Evidence? What evidence?"

Mo Kun was stunned for a moment, and his heart suddenly panicked. He quickly flipped the tablet in his hand.

Sure enough, at the end of the news report, several fully modified pictures caught his eyes.

Under the pictures, there were also Xu Chuan's accusations against him.

[If Professor Mo can find a little bit of his handwriting in these data calculations, Professor Artur Avila and I will withdraw the accusation and apologize to him. ]

[But I can guarantee that he can't find anything that belongs to him in it. ]

[That is to say, Professor Mo not only plagiarized the ideas and theories that Professor Avila and I exchanged, but also plagiarized the calculation process and data that we temporarily calculated during our evening communication. ]

[Such an absurd thing, such serious academic misconduct, I don't know how he can say with a clear conscience that he is the main person in charge of communication. ]

[This is a vicious academic plagiarism incident. I hope that Peking University and "Progress in Mathematics" that published this paper will pay attention to this matter and deal with it seriously. ]

The familiar picture made his pupils shrink violently.

These pictures, he knew very well, were the results of the discussion between Xu Chuan and Professor Artur Avila at the Morning Star Mathematics Award Gala.

The core of his proof of the non-zero hypothesis of the L-function was taken from it.

But why, why is this thing still there?

Why is this preliminary debate manuscript still in his hands?

Normally, this kind of manuscript paper recording preliminary data will be sorted and thrown away, and the manuscript paper after the second sorting cannot be used as evidence at all.

Only this kind of first-generation manuscript paper can be seen at a glance that he is indeed plagiarized by comparing the handwriting and the theoretical ideas.

These manuscript paper pictures are quite complete, and you can clearly see the extension of the theory and calculation data from beginning to end, without any gaps.

In other words, he can't make an excuse that the other party did not take out the manuscript paper data he participated in.

More importantly, none of these manuscript papers have his handwriting.

If there is one, he can continue to use the previous reason that he did participate in the discussion.

But there is none. It is impossible to say that he provides the theory and others are responsible for the calculation, right?

It may be possible in other aspects, but don't dream about mathematics.

If your basic knowledge is not up to standard, even if the theory is given to you, you can't write the calculation process.

If you participate in this kind of discussion and are the main communicator, you will inevitably leave your own calculation data on these manuscript papers.

But he didn't. In this case, saying that he is the main communicator, this theory is simply untenable.

You can copy answers for Chinese, but for math, it’s useless to copy answers because you don’t understand the calculation process.

However, Mo Kun still couldn’t figure out why these original manuscripts were still there?

Shouldn't the contents be thrown away or broken after being sorted out?

Mo Kun was stunned, his whole body stiffened involuntarily, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Once these pictures were shown as evidence, he could no longer deny plagiarism.

In any case, he could not escape the charge of using other people's theoretical ideas and calculation data without their consent.

Even if he was also a participant in the exchange, he could not escape this charge.

In the office, Tian Gang looked at his student's trembling body and sighed in his heart.

From now on, it is not far from saying that he plagiarized everything.

Mo Kun did not explain the situation to him.

If it was just a simple plagiarism of Professor Artur Avila, the situation would not be so serious.

But it would be even worse if it involved that teenager.

Maybe Mo Kun did not know the significance of that student from Nanjing University to the national level, but he did know it.

At the age of 18, he won the Morningstar Mathematics Award and indirectly promoted the Morningstar Mathematics Award to be awarded nearly two months earlier. This energy is already quite terrifying in the domestic academic community.

After the "Weir-Berry Conjecture" was proved, the genius of Nanjing University has been defined by the upper echelons as the "leader of the young generation of mathematics".

The attention and promotion of major official media are aimed at furthering his reputation, expanding China's influence in the international mathematics community, and winning the Fields Medal two years later.

This year, Qiu Chengtong cooperated with the upper echelons to advance the Morningstar Mathematics Award by two months, and the purpose is also to strive for the Crafoord Prize awarded in December this year, as well as other international mathematics awards in the next two years.

These are all awards that no one in China has ever won.

If he knew from the beginning that Mo Kun's paper was mainly plagiarized from that teenager, and it was so completely plagiarized, he would definitely not choose to respond publicly.

Now, it is probably too late.

This year's Crafoord Prize has entered the preliminary selection stage, and the name Xu Chuan has also entered the eyes of the judges of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences.

At this juncture, you plagiarized his theory and calculation data. Aren't you asking for trouble?

And you didn't just plagiarize the theory, you also plagiarized the data on his manuscript. It's a complete plagiarism. The core can be said to be almost all his stuff. At most, you did some minor revisions and subsequent expansions.

This is completely different.

Retracting the paper and apologizing are certain. I hope this student can be saved.

Tian Gang sighed. After all, he has been with him for so many years, but if he can't save him, there is nothing he can do.

The Department of Mathematics at Peking University must draw a clear line with him and cannot be dragged into the water because of this incident.
