The Science Fiction World of Xueba

Public opinion on the Internet is surging like a huge wave.

This upsurge not only made Pang Xuelin's name resound in the world again, but also officially established the name of "Discovery" journal in the academic circle.

The only regret is that in a short period of time, there is no way to determine the impact factor of "Exploration".

The so-called impact factor IF is a data in the Journal Citation Report (JCR) produced by Thomson Reuters.

That is, the total number of citations of papers published in a journal in the previous two years in the reporting year (JCR year) divided by the total number of papers published in the journal in the two years.

This is an internationally accepted journal evaluation index.

It is not only an indicator to measure the usefulness and visibility of journals, but also an important indicator to measure the academic level of journals and even the quality of papers.

Generally speaking, the higher the impact factor, the greater the influence of the journal.

For some comprehensive or large-scale research fields, the citation rate is relatively high because of the wide range of research fields.

For example, journals in biology and chemistry, such journals are generally more likely to have high influence.

However, the relationship between impact factor and academic quality is not linearly proportional. For example, it cannot be said that a journal with an impact factor of 5.0 must be better than a journal with an impact factor of 2.0. The impact factor does not have the ability to accurately and quantitatively evaluate academic quality. function.

Some domestic scientific research institutions often use the cumulative impact factor or the impact factor of a single article as the quantitative standard when evaluating scientific research performance. Some researchers may not be promoted to professional titles or awarded bonuses because of a difference of 0.1 points in impact factors. This approach is Not advisable.

"Professor Pang, the "Discovery" journal should be stable this time. Since last week, the number of manuscripts received in our mailbox has increased sharply, and after a cursory glance, the level and quality are very good."

Sitting opposite Pang Xuelin, Cao Yuan said excitedly.

Since the establishment of Discovery Publishing Group three months ago, the first issue of "Discovery" has officially launched the call for papers.

In three months, the submission mailbox received a total of more than 500 paper submissions.

However, the quality of these papers is mostly mixed, and the best ones can only reach the level of the S sub-journal.

In the end, Xuelin Pang decided that all papers in the first issue would be provided by Qiantang Laboratory and Jiangcheng Institute for Advanced Study.

This decision turned out to be correct.

After the inaugural issue became a hit, in just one week, the number of submissions received by "Discovery" magazine exceeded the sum of submissions received in the past three months, and the quality has also been greatly improved.

Among them, more than a dozen articles have completely reached the level of the S level.

This is why Cao Yuan is excited.

As a journal aiming to be comparable to S, the quality of the submissions of "Explorer" determines the height that this journal can achieve.

This is why Pang Xuelin stuffed so many heavyweight papers in the first issue.

He just wants to make everyone in the academic world realize that all papers and achievements that can be published in "Exploration" are top-notch papers and achievements.

In fact, Pang Xuelin is not worried even if the high-quality papers in the exploration mailbox do not meet Pang Xuelin's requirements.

Among the rewards given to him by the system, there are at least hundreds of top-level papers for him to squander.

He continued to write hundreds of top-level papers, and he kept "Exploring" and couldn't reach the height of S.

Not to mention, many of the papers given by the system exceeded the standards of the Nobel Prize.

But in the current situation, there is no need for Pang Xuelin to do such a thing.

As the first issue of "Exploration" became a hit, the academic circle has generally recognized the status of "Exploration".

Of course, there are also factors of academic worship in it.

After all, the mastermind standing behind "Exploration" is Professor Pang Xuelin, and it would be a great honor for many scholars if his articles could enter the eyes of this mastermind.

However, the review requirements for "Exploration" are extremely strict. If you want to be included in "Exploration", you must be the top paper in each field.

According to Pang Xuelin's regulations, from now on, each issue of "Explore" will, in principle, publish only one long article (article), and the rest can only be short papers (no more than 2,000 words).

For example, the next long-form article has already pre-ordered the flying blade materials of the Wanyi team.

In the next issue, Pang Xuelin is going to hand over to Li Changqing's carbon nanotube CMOS project team.

Such a few top-level papers are enough to make "Explorer" the most popular journal of the year.

Of course, don't think that it is easy for scholars from Qiantang Lab and Jiangcheng Institute for Advanced Study to publish articles on Exploration.

According to Pang Xuelin's requirements, the papers produced by Qiantang Laboratory and Jiangcheng Institute for Advanced Study must be at least one grade higher than the average level of S to be eligible for "Exploration".

Therefore, in a sense, it is more difficult for scholars from Qiantang Laboratory and Jiangcheng Institute for Advanced Study to be listed in "Explorer" magazine than outside scholars.

At this time, in the conference room.

Besides Cao Yuan, Shi Yi, Li Changqing, Andrew White, Yang Heping, Wen Xiaogang and others also looked excited.

They are all editorial board members of Discovery Magazine, and everyone has devoted a lot of effort to this new top journal.

During this period of time, each of them felt honored to see the birth of this journal, which is destined to leave a deep imprint in the history of science in the future, from their own hands.

Pang Xuelin looked around and said with a smile: "Everyone has worked hard during this period. In the days to come, I hope that everyone can continue to work hard. Not only can we improve in the academic field, but also let "Explore" become our Qiantang. The landmark publication of the laboratory and Jiangcheng Institute for Advanced Study."

Li Changqing on the side nodded with a smile and said, "Professor Pang, don't worry, everyone is working hard during this time."

At this time, Shi Yi asked curiously: "By the way, Professor Pang. Who is that Moss who keeps sending us emails? His reviewing level is too good. All manuscripts recommended by him , basically have the top level in a certain field. Moreover, his wide range of research and precise vision are simply breathtaking."

When Shi Yi said this, everyone at the scene focused their attention on Pang Xuelin.

They were equally curious about Moss's origins.

The reviewer of the "Exploration" journal was specially invited by Pang Xuelin, and his level was extremely high. He would point out any problem in the paper if there was a slight detail in it.

Moreover, the scope of his review is very wide, ranging from biology, materials science, physics, chemistry and even mathematics.

They didn't suspect that this person was Pang Xuelin

Because Pang Xuelin is very busy with his work, he seldom participates in the review work of "Explorer", and several times, when Pang Xuelin was with them, they received the review email forwarded by Moss.

Pang Xuelin laughed and said, "Don't ask me about this, you will naturally know in the future."

Moss is naturally MOSS, let artificial intelligence participate in the review work of "Exploration", unexpectedly the effect is surprisingly good.

As long as the manuscript has been reviewed by Moss, neither the editorial board nor the author of the paper has any objections.

Seeing that Pang Xuelin was unwilling to reveal the slightest word, everyone felt a little disappointed, and at the same time, they were even more curious about this mysterious Moss.

Pang Xuelin also ignored it, and said with a smile: "I'm going to St. Petersburg next month to participate in the World Congress of Mathematicians. So during this period, the work of Qiantang Laboratory and Jiangcheng Institute for Advanced Study will trouble everyone. Several key points Projects, dynamic apt technology, synthesis of new superconducting materials, industrial production of flying blade materials, graphene supercapacitors, carbon-based chips, etc., cannot be relaxed in the slightest."

Xu Xingguo, who was sitting next to Pang Xuelin, said with a smile, "Professor Pang, don't worry, I will definitely watch a few projects for you."

Then, Pang Xuelin chatted with everyone about the future development of "Explorer" magazine, and then announced the adjournment of the meeting.

In the following time, Pang Xuelin was busy while waiting for the arrival of the International Congress of Mathematicians.

...

The International Congress of Mathematicians () is an international conference for mathematicians to demonstrate and discuss mathematics for the purpose of mathematical exchanges, and it is a grand event in the international mathematics community.

Held every four years, the first conference was held in Zurich, Switzerland in 1897, and a total of 28 sessions have been held by the end of 2018.

After the Paris Congress in 1900, there was no interruption except during the two world wars.

It has become a high-level global mathematical science academic conference. The number of mathematicians attending the conference ranged from 208 to 4,000.

Each conference generally invites a group of outstanding mathematicians to give a one-hour academic report at the conference and a 45-minute academic report at the group meeting of the subject group. All mathematicians attending the conference can apply for a 10-minute academic report at the group meeting academic reports, or distribute their own papers at the meeting.

The subject groups are generally divided into about 20.

At the opening ceremony of each International Congress of Mathematicians, the leader of the International Mathematical Union announces the list of winners of the Fields Medal, awards gold medals and bonuses, and reports on the work of the winners at the conference.

Since the International Congress of Mathematicians held in 1983, the Newanglinna Award has been awarded at the same time.

Since the International Congress of Mathematicians held in 1998, the Gauss Prize has been awarded at the same time.

Since the International Congress of Mathematicians held in 2010, the Chern Prize has been awarded at the same time.

The Nevanliner Award is an award for information science, the Gauss Award is mainly used to reward mathematicians who have made achievements in the field of applied mathematics, and the Chern Award is more of a lifetime achievement award in the mathematics community.

Half a month before the official opening of this International Congress of Mathematicians, it has already become the focus of attention of the Chinese media.

Everyone is looking forward to the first Fields Medal awarded by a Chinese in the true sense to settle in China.

No one doubts that Pang Xuelin will lose the election.

Among the Fields Medal odds offered by foreign gaming companies, Pang Xuelin had the lowest odds, only 1:1.01.

BSD conjecture, ABC conjecture, Ponzi geometry theory, general solutions of nonlinear partial differential equations, twin prime conjecture, Polignac conjecture, Hodge conjecture...

Three years have made Pang Xuelin a living legend in the mathematics world.

Although he only participated in the International Congress of Mathematicians for the first time, he has become a recognized idol in the hearts of countless mathematicians around the world.

As long as Pang Xuelin wins the Fields Medal at this International Congress of Mathematicians, Pang Xuelin will surely break the 28-year-old award record held by French mathematician Jean-Pierre Serre and become the youngest Filipino in history. Winner of the Ertz Award.

At the same time, he is also the only double winner of the Nobel Prize and the Fields Medal in history.

August 6, 2022.

Early in the morning, Pang Xuelin broke free from the entanglement of Yao Bingxia and Qi Xin's pink legs and lotus arms, and woke up the two girls.

After the summer vacation, Yao Bingxia rushed over from the capital, which made Pang Xuelin enjoy a lot of tenderness.

The three got up one after another and came to the restaurant, Zuo Yiqiu had been waiting for a long time.

After breakfast, Pang Xuelin bid farewell to Yao Bingxia and Qi Xin, and together with Zuo Yiqiu boarded the motorcade waiting at the gate of the villa, and went straight to Jiangcheng Airport.

When they arrived at the airport, the convoy did not stop at the terminal, but drove straight up to the nearby apron, where a Boeing 747 passenger plane had been waiting for a long time.

To Pang Xuelin's surprise, there were quite a few people standing beside the boarding ladder, including Liu Tingbo, Dean of the School of Mathematical Sciences of Jiang University, Mochizuki Shinichi, Deputy Dean, Perelman, and Ai Ai.

"Professor Pang, you are finally here."

Liu Tingbo said with a smile.

Pang Xuelin smiled and said, "Old Liu, I'm sorry to keep you waiting for so long."

Immediately, he turned his gaze to Ai Ai and said, "Ai Ai, why are you here?"

Ai Ai couldn't help but rolled her eyes, and pouted, "Master, have you forgotten? The article I published in the Journal of the American Mathematical Society some time ago on the relationship between Ponzi geometry and algebraic topology The paper won the attention of the International Congress of Mathematicians. This conference specially invited me to give a 45-minute report.”

Pang Xuelin couldn't help being taken aback.

For more than a year, Pang Xuelin has been busy.

Although Ai Ai and the others are his students in name, the two sides don’t meet much. Only occasionally when they encounter problems in their studies and send emails to Pang Xuelin for advice, Pang Xuelin will reply a few words and ask about their recent situation.

Pang Xuelin vaguely remembered that Ai Ai did write a paper on the relationship between Ponzi geometry and algebraic topology a few months ago, and asked him to correct it.

After I helped her modify it, I didn't ask any more questions.

Pang Xuelin did not expect that this paper would be published in the Journal of the American Mathematical Society, one of the four major journals, and opened the door for Ai Ai to the International Congress of Mathematicians.

The young scholars who can be invited to participate in the International Congress of Mathematicians in their twenties are not ordinary people.

Ai Ai's ability to perform like this has already shown how outstanding he is as a student.

Pang Xuelin smiled and said, well done, and strive to graduate as soon as possible.

Ai Ai couldn't help but rolled her eyes, unable to complain about this unreliable master.

Pang Xuelin's graduation requirements are abnormal. Up to now, none of his brothers and sisters have been able to graduate smoothly.

Fortunately, Pang Xuelin didn't oppress them. Studying under Pang Xuelin's graduate school not only does not require tuition fees, but also has a lot of scholarships to receive every month.

Everyone got on the plane.

Only then did Pang Xuelin realize that this plane was completely in the layout of a private jet, and it was a bit scary.

There are master bedroom, kitchen, shower room, dining room, reception room and so on in the aircraft.

Whether it is decoration or other aspects, it reflects the character of a trench.

Pang Xuelin was a little surprised and said to Zuo Yiqiu beside him: "Who arranged this plane, isn't that too exaggerated?"

Zuo Yiqiu said with a smile: "Professor Pang, this plane is Papa Ma's private plane. After knowing that you are about to go to St. Petersburg to attend the International Congress of Mathematicians, he specially lent this plane to us as your special plane for travel. And he said it was an honor for him to have you on this plane."

Pang Xuelin couldn't help being taken aback. Although he and Papa Ma lived in the same city, they did not meet each other.

The last time I was interviewed by CCTV, I revealed the existence of Moss, which attracted the attention of Ali Artificial Intelligence Laboratory.

But after such a long time, Ali did not take the initiative to come to the door, and there was no contact between the two parties.

Could it be that Dad wants to find a way to hit me?

Pang Xuelin smiled and stopped thinking about it.

Mochizuki Shinichi and Perelman were a little calm.

Mochizuki Shinichi simply thinks that with Pang Xuelin's current status, it is not too much of a surprise to be able to take such a special plane.

As for Perelman, this guy doesn't care about the environment in the unexpected world at all.

However, compared to twenty years ago, Perelman has changed a lot.

At least this time, he took the initiative to accept the invitation of the International Union of Mathematicians to give a one-hour lecture on the proof of Hodge's conjecture at the International Congress of Mathematicians.

As for Pang Xuelin, he will give a keynote speech on the first day of the opening ceremony of the conference. The specific content of the report will mainly focus on Ponzi geometry.

Since the formal appearance of Ponzi geometry, this subject has become a research hotspot in the whole mathematics circle.

According to survey statistics, more than 80% of mathematicians in the world have actively studied Ponzi geometry.

More than half of mathematicians have studied this new mathematical theory in depth. .

Today, the Ponzi Geometry Seminar at Jiangcheng University has become a world-renowned existence.

In the past two years, the Ponzi Geometry Seminar assembled and published the Ponzi Geometry Discussion Draft and Ponzi Geometry textbooks, which have become classics in this field and have been widely praised by mathematicians all over the world.

After everyone sat down on the plane, the plane took off quickly.

It takes nearly ten hours for an ordinary airliner to take off from Jiangcheng to St. Petersburg.

Along the way, Pang Xuelin spent most of his time chatting with Perelman Mochizuki and Liu Tingbo.

As for Ai Ai and Zuo Yiqiu, the two seemed to have the right eye, sitting in a corner beside them and chatting non-stop.

Occasionally, the two of them turned their attention to Pang Xuelin from time to time, wondering if they were talking about Pang Xuelin's embarrassing things.

On the way, Pang Xuelin ate two delicious airline meals, which were naturally much better than ordinary civil aviation meals.

Until 3:30 p.m. local time in St. Petersburg, the special plane slowly landed at Pulkovo International Airport in St. Petersburg. Through the porthole, Pang Xuelin found that the airport was covered with a red carpet, and there were even
