Chapter 329 Are Journals Now so Good at Playing?

Xu Chuan left, leaving the lively venue behind.

In the auditorium, almost everyone started discussing.

"Awesome, Professor Xu is worthy of it!"

"So brave! This is considered to be a slam against The Washington Times in front of the whole world? The face is crushed."

"That rubbish media, how can it still have face! I am more curious, is this media so stupid? Not only did it leave in shame after being stepped on by Professor Tao, but it also ran over to let Professor Xu step on it for the second time."

"The Washington Times, what outrageous operation is not outrageous."

"I think it's a bit too ostentatious. In front of thousands of people, it doesn't give any face at all."

"Save face "A mad dog bites you once, but you ignore it and it chases you and bites you a second time. Why don't you kill it once and for all and let it continue to bite you a third and fourth time?"

"I don't know why the Washington Times wants to provoke him. A 24-year-old Nobel Prize and Fields Prize winner, is he someone you can mess with?"

Sitting in the front row next to Deligne, Tao looked at the figure leaving the podium and sighed: "Professor Xu is indeed worthy of being called Professor Xu. He is better than me!"

To be honest, he already felt that he was out of line when he angrily criticized the Washington Times online before.

On the one hand, he is a scholar after all, and he is completely different from those shameless and unscrupulous media. It feels very embarrassing to angrily criticize them.

On the other hand, there is a difference between arguing on the Internet and in person.

If he were on the podium today, he probably wouldn't be able to do such a thing. After all, he still has to save face.

I didn't expect this guy to do it directly. Not only did he angrily criticize the Washington Times, but he also directly and unilaterally resolved the authorization of the artificial SEI film patent.

He had learned about artificial SEI film. He had earned 10 billion dollars from patent licensing alone. He could unilaterally cancel the secondary authorization, but the penalty for breach of contract and the impact and losses it brought were at least 10 million dollars for him.

Of course, the impact on South Korea was even greater.

Because at present, the latest lithium battery with this new artificial SEI film has a battery capacity that is almost three times that of the original lithium battery.

On the side, Deligne also shook his head.

But he didn't care too much. For scholars like them, the Washington Times was nothing.

As the crowd was talking, I don't know what they were thinking, but they were hit by people like them.

This time, not only was he slapped in the face in front of the whole world, but he probably had to apologize publicly again afterwards.

The Washington Times estimated that it definitely didn't want to apologize, but someone in South Korea would make him apologize.

Thinking of this, Deligne glanced at his pocket. The mobile phone in it was his new mobile phone, and the battery capacity was enough for him to go nearly ten days without charging.

In contrast, I'm afraid no one would want to go back to the days of once or even twice a day.

This student is no longer just a pure theoretical scholar.

Not to mention the future, just the current artificial SEI film is enough for him to have more than enough for ten lifetimes. This level of patent is also enough to control some people who don't know what they are talking about.

On the other hand, in the backstage of the auditorium, the leader of the Political Affairs Office of Nanjing University, who was anxiously thinking about how to deal with this matter, was also stimulated by Xu Chuan's passionate words.

"Fuck, that's awesome!"

"Great scolding!!! Rubbish Washington Post!"

"Washington Post:????"

"By the way, Professor Xu said this publicly in front of the whole world, will the other party sue him?"

"Sue? It's a good thing that Professor Xu doesn't sue the other party for spreading rumors and slandering him!"

"I'm more worried that he will lose a lot of money by unilaterally breaching the contract and canceling the artificial SEI film authorization of South Korea?"

"I guess at least tens of millions."

"Shh~, this is too bad."

"But it really feels so relieved!"

Xu Chuan left the backstage directly. Inside and outside the auditorium, all the reporters who had planned to interview him after the lecture were unable to interview him.

But for today, it doesn't matter if they didn't interview the speaker.

The hot topic that The Washington Times created for them was more exaggerated than interviewing the speaker.

What do the general public like to watch the most?

It's undoubtedly fighting!

For the other media reporters at the scene, they have already thought of the title of the article!

"The world's famous top scholar quarreled with others at the lecture! I don't know why? 》

《The love-hate relationship between Professor Xu, the prover of the two millennium problems, and the Washington Times》

《Shock! A well-known mathematics professor angrily criticized the questioner for having no brains at a lecture with thousands of people! 》

《.》

In fact, if Professor Xu's performance today had not shocked them and they were worried about being sued, they could have made up some more exaggerated and eye-catching headlines in their minds.

It's not bad to take advantage of the popularity.

But if Professor Xu gets upset, it will be troublesome to sue them directly.

The Washington Times has tested the water for them, so there is no need to follow suit.

After the lecture, Xu Chuan left the backstage and prepared to return to his office to rest before attending the evening party.

Judging from the response in the meeting, the mathematics community has basically recognized his paper.

As for the journal registration, it will take some time.

Even if a report meeting is held, the proof paper on the NS equation still needs to be peer reviewed.

Of course, for Xu Chuan, he does not need to worry about this.

The proof paper on the existence and smoothness of the solution of the three-dimensional incompressible Navier-Stokes equation is no longer his or a single journal's business.

This is a grand event for the entire mathematics community and the responsibility of the International Mathematical Union.

As soon as he returned to the office, Xu Chuan was surprised to find a figure standing at the door of his office.

Professor Robert Morey Dean, editor-in-chief of "New Advances in Mathematics".

Seeing Xu Chuan, Robert greeted him with a warm face: "Professor Xu, congratulations, you have solved another millennium century problem!"

"Thank you. Come in and have a cup of tea first." Xu Chuan smiled and shook hands with Robert, took out the key and opened the door of the office.

Robert followed behind and flattered him, saying: "Today's report is really the most exciting one I have ever seen. Your report conquered all of us!"

Xu Chuan smiled and said: "Although it is quite nice, forget about such polite words. I know the purpose of your coming today. Since I promised you last time, this paper will be handed over to you. I hope you can treat it well."

Hearing this, Robert was stunned for a moment, and then his face was instantly full of surprise.

"Thank you, thank you very much, Xu! As long as the peer review passes, we will arrange for it to be published in the journal as soon as possible!"

"I promise!"

Xu Chuan smiled and said: "I believe you will"

Just at this time, the door of the office was knocked.

At the same time, a voice of praise came: "Xu, congratulations on solving another of the seven millennium problems!"

Xu Chuan and Robert turned their heads at the same time, and the person who walked in was Camilo de Lillis, the editor-in-chief of the "Annals of Mathematics".

Knocked on the door, and when Camilo walked in, he found that there was another person in the office.

After recognizing this figure, Camilo's heart skipped a beat. He had a bad feeling and blurted out, "Why are you here!?"

Robert smiled smugly and said, "You're late!"

Camilo said in disbelief, "Impossible!"

Then, he turned to look at Xu Chuan and said, "Xu, you know why I came here. The interim proof of the NS equation has been published in our "Annals of Mathematics". There is no reason to separate them in the last step of proving it."

"Our cooperation has always been pleasant, and I believe in your decision."

Xu Chuan shrugged and said, "I'm really sorry, Professor Camilo. Last time, I promised Editor-in-Chief Robert that I would give him the next paper."

"So, I can only apologize."

To be honest, he didn't expect that he would be able to solve the last step of the NS equation so quickly.

When Robert asked him to make an appointment for the next paper, he thought he might do some other mathematical research, so he agreed without delay.

But now the situation has changed a bit. Who would have thought that he could solve the remaining difficulties in just half a year?

So it can only be said that it is fate and time. Robert's invitation at that time brought a top-notch and important paper to "New Advances in Mathematics".

Hearing this, Camilo's face changed instantly.

He was full of confidence when he came. Who could have thought that the result would turn out like this?

But he still didn't want to give up and wanted to try again.

After thinking about it, he looked at Xu Chuan with a pitiful face and said, "Xu, do you really want to see them separate?"

"Although Editor-in-Chief Robert has made an appointment with you for the manuscript, you can give him the next paper."

"Believe me, it is most appropriate to put the interim results of the NS equation and the final results of the NS equation together!"

Hearing this, Robert's face became anxious.

He quickly said, "Dear Xu, we have agreed before, and you have just promised us. Believe me, cooperation with "New Advances in Mathematics" will definitely be smoother!"

He was indeed worried that Xu Chuan would be persuaded and moved. After all, scholars engaged in academics often have some quirks.

For example, the pursuit of perfection, such as obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Putting the final results paper of the NS equation and the interim results paper of the NS equation in the same journal may be tempting for many people.

Especially when both are the results of the same person, it is not surprising to put them in the same journal.

Looking at the pitiful face of a grown man, Xu Chuan felt a little awkward, coughed dryly, and said: "Don't be like this, Professor Camilo. Although this is indeed very tempting, I have already promised Professor Robert."

Hearing this, Camilo breathed a sigh of relief and said: "In this case, okay."

After a pause, he looked at Xu Chuan with expectation and said: "Xu, I also want to make an appointment for your next paper!"

Xu Chuan: "."

Is the journal playing like this now?
