On Thursday dawn, Peter Sanak rose early as regular. He is 30 years old this year, ranked first from the Princeton Department of Mathematics, and is now a survey editor of the Annals of Mathematics.
He has always been honored of being a reviewer and editor of one of the world’s four top mathematics magazines.
After having brunch, he traveled to the magazine. As usual, he made himself a cup of cappuccino and then maneuvered the mouse to open the work mailbox. At this time, a ding dong came from the speaker, pointing out that he had got a new email.
Peter got a sip of coffee and got on the email.
Perhaps because the attachment is too large, the feedback time of the computer is long.
He put down the cappuccino cup in his hand and looked at the title of the script.
“Four ways to prove the Goldbach Conjecture.”
He reflected it must be a beginner who gave such a name to a journal.
and many more__
Peter reacted after some time, Huh? Four ways to prove Goldbach’s conjecture??
He quickly read the line again, that right.
Peter raised his spirits. His face got earnest and he continued to look down.
Ten minutes….thirty minutes…one hour…
He wiped his astringent eyes. With his maths, he could only refer up to page twentieth and then he couldn’t go down.
But this does not hinder him from revealing his excitement.
Perhaps I will witness a historic moment.
Peter hastily printed out the script, then swung the paper and dashed into the editor’s office.
It doesn’t matter if he doesn’t understand it but in Princeton, in the United States, in North
America, in the whole world, someone can read this paper.
“Goldbach Conjecture?”
The editor-in-chief James was obviously calmer. He peered straight at the writer column and only one name was on it: “Meng Zezhi.”
Look at the Author unit column again: ” Jincheng University.”
He frowned: “Chinese? “
Not that he singles out against China, but in such a maths undeveloped place, can anyone really prove Goldbach’s conjecture?
This is a global problem that has troubled the entire mathematics community for 270 years.
Peter said immediately: “Mr. James, I can guess what you mean, so what we have to work out now is to deliver this paper for review as soon as feasible, so that the professors can check the correctness of this paper.”
General academic publications will divide the review of incoming articles into two stages.
The first stage is publication editor review and the second stage is expert review.
Journal editors will screen articles according to the subject of the article and the scope of the journal and then send qualified articles to appropriate reviewers for review.
The analysts mainly come from three prospects: One is the editorial board representatives of the journal, especially for some newly established journals;
the other is colleagues worldwide and the last is the reviewer candidates provided by the contributor himself.
But for the top academic magazine that stands at the limelight of academics in order to ensure the truth of review results and avoid academic extortion, their reviewers are limited to associates who are committed in the same research direction as the papers, usually three to five people. Therefore, this stage is also called the associate review stage.
Moreover, the associate review of the Annals of Mathematics runs a double-blind review, so the author and reviewer of the article do not know each other’s identification information.
” You are right.”
Throwing away those prejudices, James corrected his attitude. Sincerely, of course, he hopes that this script is correct, which is an honor for the Annals of Mathematics.
After half an hour, ten emails flew from Peter’s computer all over the world.
….
After uploading the report, Meng Zezhi dashed to the hospital without pausing.
HIV-infected people usually develop into AIDS patients after a few months, or even a Ten year or longer incubation period.
With the advancement of modern medicine today, it has been developed antiretroviral therapy. If the infected person is cared for with high-efficiency antiretroviral therapy in the early stages of HIV infection, the incubation period can be considerably lengthened and it can even reach up to the life of the infected individual. It is a carrier of HIV and will not spread to an AIDS patient effect.
But Meng Zezhi did not prefer to do so before.
One is because there is not enough time left for him, not to specify that the current national medical level is not up to this level.
If he goes abroad for treatment, there is no connection and money to make way, and he will not be able to enter the biological laboratory at all.
The most important thing is that antiretroviral therapy will necessarily have some toxic side effects.
Far from it, just say that some drugs in the first few weeks of having will make patients have very authentic nightmares, most of the patients need the mediation of a psychiatrist to pass this period.
Meng Zezhi didn’t feel that he still would have enough stamina to do experiments under such circumstances.
Second, Meng Zezhi knew that he didn’t want to get into irrelevant trouble and the treatment inevitably attract Chen Yinlong’s scrutiny and he didn’t know how much trouble he would cause.
But it is different now,
He has proved Goldbach’s conjecture and Chen Yinlong’s day is not far away.
Now he just wants to complete the development of the AIDS drug as soon as possible so as not to have long midnights and dreams.
Therefore it is crucial to use drugs to adjust the state of the body.
In China, drugs for the treatment of AIDS are free. The patient can use the report issued by the AIDS confirmation laboratory to go to the CDC to issue a referral form for medication and then go to a designated hospital to receive free antiretroviral treatment provided by the state.
Meng Zezhi knows it is problematic, and the antiviral drugs provided by the country essentially have strong side effects so he can only buy two courses of expensive imported drugs on the advice of doctors.
However, he certainly overestimated his physical fitness. Besides staying in the laboratory all day, his work and rest are disordered, but within half a month, his weight declined more than ten kilograms, of which the loss of fat tissue was most serious.
His face and arms become thinner.
When Zhu Zhengqing snapped free from his broken love, made a mental preparation, and returned to the laboratory what he saw was such a scene.
There was a temporary acceleration of his heartbeat which made him erroneously think that the reason Meng Zezhi is so weak is that he missed him, so he didn’t feed enough.
But he quickly dispelled this unrealistic idea.
He eased the corners of his tight lips, and with a calm expression on his face, he came forward.
Hearing footsteps, Meng Zezhi, who was adjusting the appliances, turned around his head casually and saw the person coming, his movements became stiff.
The first thought in his heart turned out to be that, I must be awful ugly now!!
“Have you not finished your experiment? “It’s been over four months.
“Yeah.” Looking at Zhu Zhengqing’s seemingly casual look, Meng Zezhi could tell what it was like in his heart. He calmly greeted him like when a colleague met: ” What about you, have you made the project back? “
“The magazine has retracted the manuscript.”
“Ok.”
The two became silent in unison.
In concern, Zhu Zhengqing couldn’t help but look at Mang Zezhi more. After pondering for a while, he finally asked unconvincingly: ” How did you become like this? ”
The edges of Meng Zezhi’s lips bend in a curve: ” I am sick. “
Then how severe your illness is?
Zhu Zhengqing couldn’t get it completely and immediately said: ” Then, are you great now? “
Meng Zezhi’s eyes dropped, then he shook his head.
Zhu Zhengqing got a little worried: ” Have you carried out for a check-up at the hospital? “
” Yes, I did. ” Meng Zezhi nodded, ” The doctor prescribed some medicine.”
Hearing this, Zhu Zhengqing felt relieved.
The next minute he couldn’t help but spit on himself in secret,
Zhu Zhengqing, Zhu Zhengqing others have refused you, and you still paste it cheeky, what do you take?
Zhu Zhengqing felt unhappy the more he thought about it.
The author has something to say:
Zhu Zhengqing; Baby is sad.
