Chapter 901 The one-year period has arrived!
In short, although Chang Haonan just sent a trailer for his new paper, it caused quite a stir in the academic and business circles at the same time.
In addition to COMSOL, several other similar products have also found technical experts or technical teams as quickly as possible to start tracking and analyzing his research trends.
Of course, because most of the competing products do not specialize in two-phase flow, they either try it briefly or, like COMSOL, continue their original development route after a wave of analysis
Only ANSYS, which had developed Fluent in the early years, saw the potential behind this paper.
But I also encountered a similar problem to Professor Jameson -
I really can’t figure out how to accurately and efficiently generate an unstructured grid in the Cartesian coordinate system.
Logically speaking, in this situation, since others have published all the papers, they can either hire people with a high salary, or even if they cannot find people, they can just provide the author with a research topic.
But this time the situation is too special -
The person who wrote the paper was the boss of the opposite company.
Fuck you, how do you dig this?
So for the time being, we can only wait and see what happens, and wait and see what ruthless tricks the Torch Group can do next.
Some technology media have revived the interest in this matter with titles such as "The prover of the Poincaré conjecture releases arXiv again".
However, we cannot entirely blame these media for causing trouble.
The main reason is that the time card is too coincidental.
You know, the proof of Poincaré’s conjecture has not yet been completed——
A year ago, the Clay Mathematics Institute made it clear that although the Poincaré conjecture was almost officially completed It was proven at the same time after it was announced, but remains one of the "Millennium Mathematics Puzzles".
In other words, the two certifiers can share a huge bonus of US$1 million in total.
According to the rules set at the time, the money will be officially awarded as soon as one year after the paper is published.
If after one year, the proof process still fails to reach a consensus in the mathematical community, then it will be delayed until it is officially recognized.
Of course, the certification process of Chang Haonan and Perelman took less than a month to be recognized, so the latter clause was not triggered.
And now, the one-year period has arrived.
Everyone is ready to see whether your Clay Research Institute is really prepared to pay you as promised, or whether you are just paying lip service.
......
However, compared to the disturbances from the outside world, Chang Haonan himself did not care much about the aftermath of this submission.
During this time, he has been reviewing the manuscripts in the editorial mailbox to decide which of them will be published in the first issue of the JCAS journal——
Normally, this work is not required The editor-in-chief is personally responsible, but after all, this is Huaxia’s first attempt to break into the mainstream international academic community, so it is normal for the standards to be higher.
However, the actual situation is that everyone in the editorial department has much optimistic expectations.
After all, Chang Haonan’s brand name is really easy to use in China.
Many people even turned to the JCAS editorial department to submit their papers to the top journals in the field.
For example, Professor Feng Qi from the Institute of Technical Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences submitted the gene sequencing and analysis results of rice chromosome 4.
Although it is only 4 pages long, it is an important part of the genome sequencing work.
It is a result that can be published in Nature or Science.
It definitely counts as full support for the work.
In addition, there are many names that Chang Haonan is familiar with.
Xu Yang, who has been working between the Institute of Computing and Torch Group, developed a high-dimensional observation method for linearized water wave problems with distributed or point measurement functions.
Professor Lin Guofan of Jincheng University proposed a new meteorological theory on the formation mechanism of major weather disasters in southern China...
In short, despite this meeting in the early 21st century, Chinese academic circles The overall strength of the journal is still relatively weak, but it is more than enough to pool the strength of national research institutions to support a quarterly journal.
Of course, since it is a publication for international distribution, it cannot only contain articles by Chinese scholars.
As Chang Haonan’s papers on arXiv are seen by more and more people, some foreign researchers are also submitting articles to the editorial department.
However, foreigners will not have any special feelings towards your new journal.
So the quality of these papers is unexpectedly uniform -
It is definitely not possible to submit them to the top journals, but I am not willing to submit them to some small journals. Just in time for such a It’s a new platform for big guys, why not take a gamble and try your luck.
It is in line with Chang Haonan’s initial positioning of JCAS.
Just comparing it with those obviously high-quality submissions in China, it is inevitable to feel a little tasteless and a pity to abandon. Therefore, when Yuan Xiangya rushed to Chang Haonan's office to visit, the latter was comparing two papers from the same school on the screen with a tangled look on his face, and could not make up his mind for a while.
"Professor Chang, no, Editor Chang, you have been working hard recently."
The former put some gifts he brought next to his desk, and then sat in another office chair opposite superior.
Chang Haonan raised his eyelids, checked that there were no sensitive valuables, and then accepted them without politeness——
During this period, his identity was read as Niu Ma, chief editor and writer. , It is only natural to receive some nutritional supplements from the other party.
In fact, Yuan Xiangya is also a member of the editorial team.
It’s just that there are too few papers related to his field of expertise, so he is very free.
“Forget it, I never thought there would be so many submissions. In addition to sleeping and eating these days, I have been reading papers almost all the time. I feel like my brain has gone numb...”
Chang Haonan As he spoke, he closed both papers, and then dragged one of them into the folder named "Issue 1."
Of course the other article will not be rejected, but it will probably have to wait until the second issue in August to be published...
“Actually, the real submissions are more than ten times more than what we saw.”
Yuan Xiangya has experience in the editorial department of journals before, so he has much more experience than Chang Haonan in this regard:
“Those whose contents are too outrageous, or are just fake, and whose data can be easily seen to have problems at a glance... In fact, the editors below have already picked them out.”
“That’s okay. There are so many left?”
Chang Haonan was immediately shocked.
"There's no way..."
Yuan Xiangya replied in a helpless tone:
"We didn't expect Professor Chang to have such a strong appeal. It was indeed a bit of a misstep. We should have known better." It's bimonthly...and the quality of the submissions is much higher than we thought before..."
"Forget it, after all, it's just starting out, it's better to be steady."
Chang Haonan. He was relatively calm about the current situation, so he waved his hand:
"Our journal is now like Zou Ji. His wives, concubines, and guests all say that he is more beautiful than Xu Gong in the north of the city. It does not mean that it is true. If you look at more submissions, you will find that the high-level ones are all Chinese scholars at home or abroad. , it has a filter on our journal and cannot be regarded as normal."
As he said that, he reopened his mailbox and prepared to check the next email.
However, at this moment, the coherent movements suddenly stopped.
“I am worried that the publication interval of the quarterly magazine is too long. Some authors cannot wait for three months and may be withdrawn...”
Yuan Xiangya was still chatting normally, but he was halfway through the conversation. , only to find Chang Haonan staring at the computer screen in a daze.
"Professor Chang."
"Professor Chang?"
He called twice in succession.
“Huh?”
Chang Haonan woke up and looked at Yuan Xiangya:
"Ah...I'm sorry, I was a little confused just now. What did you just say?"
"It's okay...it's not an important topic."
Yuan Xiangya shook his head:
"Have you... seen any particularly heavyweight paper content again?"
He was still more concerned about journal matters.
"That's not true...it actually has nothing to do with the journal."
Chang Haonan raised his hand and touched his chin:
"The Clay Mathematics Institute sent me an email saying that it was It’s time to present the award.”
Hearing this sentence, Yuan Xiangya didn’t even react for a moment:
“What…”
However, before the word "prize" came out of his mouth, he had already realized it -
"Wait a minute..."
"So it's...the $1 million for the Millennium Mathematical Problem? "
Chang Haonan nodded, and then shook his head:
"Strictly speaking, it is 500,000 US dollars..."
