Qiao Yu didn’t really understand the complex thoughts of everyone. Mainly, he didn’t have the ti to care.
He was even too lazy to show off on Weibo. Mainly because the paper hasn’t been reviewed yet, and also because it is being reviewed.
Honestly, these past days Qiao Yu felt he had been very patient, almost to the point of wanting to argue with soone.
Yes, this peer review process was distinctly different from those of the previous papers.
Not only did he need to directly communicate with the reviewers via email, there was even a suggestion to conduct the review through video conferences. This allowed him to answer so questions directly.
He would have been fine with that, but because of ti zone differences, not everyone could attend each video conference. Qiao Yu understood that.
But damn it, there were twelve reviewers, and he was the only one!
Which ant each ti they had a video conference, others might not be online, but he had to be, otherwise, discussions couldn’t proceed.
And those reviewers had so many weird questions?
Not to ntion his paper proving the Riemann Conjecture, even the preliminary paper—"Geotric Mapping of Riemann’s Conjecture under Generalized Modal Axiomatic System"—had prompted a heap of questions from them.
From the first lemma in that paper: the geotric consistency of the modal density function, to the first theorem: the geotric correspondence between the zeros of the Riemann Zeta Function and the Modal Path...
Qiao Yu really couldn’t figure out what those great minds were thinking. They raised a heap of questions.
Just the proof process of the first theorem in the preliminary paper drew countless questions.
From the regularity of modal density, to the construction thod and the natural derivation from the Zeta function, to the uniqueness of Modal Paths, pseudo-zeros, multiple zeros, distribution characteristics, low-dinsional models, discussions of special cases...
Especially that Jas Maynard, he had the most questions and attended every eting! It felt like he didn’t need sleep at all.
No, not just didn’t need sleep, all his ti seed to be spent in video conferencing. Where did he find ti to review papers? Not to ntion, don’t they need to work normally? Weren’t they supposed to be busy?
Where did these reviewers find the ti to nag him every day?
But everyone was smart, and within two days, Qiao Yu started to feel sothing wasn’t right.
These reviewers weren’t just reviewing papers, were they? It seed they wanted to exhaust all his thoughts and thought processes about the Generalized Modal Space theory through this thod?
This is just... too much!
After figuring it out, Qiao Yu didn’t hesitate to complain to his academic ntor: "ntor, I feel this isn’t a review, they’re making go through all the details of the conceptualization to proof of both papers again. Can they review papers like this?"
Are they bullying because I’m young? Don’t know the rules? When I submitted papers before, it was never like this. At most, reviewers would email questions, and I would explain and send it back. Why do we have to explain it like this?"
When Qiao Yu protested, he chose a ti when there were quite a few people online for a video eting; seven out of twelve reviewers were online...
Yes, Qiao Yu protested in front of the reviewers, and he said it in English.
Though these reviewers were great minds, his family elders were also great minds, not to ntion not every reviewer had won the Fields dal, but his grandfather had...
The most important thing was that Qiao Yu wanted to see through the screen if these so-called senior figures felt any guilt for bullying a junior in academia this way.
Too bad he was disappointed.
Indeed, the elders were unscrupulous; not a hint of embarrassnt among them. They even began to proactively help Yuan Zhengxin explain.
"This isn’t to trouble you, but to speed up the review process, Qiao Yu! After all, you’ve used many new thods. Particularly, the axiomatic system you’ve developed is very novel, so this thod is necessary to review the paper at the fastest speed.
And providing explanations for these detailed proofs helps the academic community understand your thinking clearly. This is important for promoting the entire system in the future. We trust you’ve created an axiomatic system and hope more people will learn to use it, don’t we?"
These words were spoken by Jas Maynard. Qiao Yu suspected this great mind was also studying the Riemann Conjecture, hence coming to trouble him purposely.
Unfortunately, Yuan Zhengxin also supported the other side.
"Qiao Yu, actually Professor inaide isn’t wrong, it’s normal for everyone to have so confusion with new theories. This kind of direct communication to dispel doubts can speed up the review process.
It can be considered a way to promote new thods and may even provide you with so inspiration. The Riemann Conjecture isn’t the endpoint; regarding the problem of pri numbers, one Riemann Conjecture can’t completely solve it.
Moreover, this discussion process also fills in so details of the Generalized Modal Axiomatic System. The difficulties professors point out will be the challenge points in promoting this system in the future. Explaining it won’t hurt.
During this process, you can also think deeper about how to make more advanced predictions and extensions on the distribution law of pri numbers under this conclusion. Be good, finish discussing all these questions, and Grandpa will take you for so lamb chops to recharge at noon."
When Yuan Zhengxin kindly said this, Qiao Yu knew that struggling was futile. Better to enjoy—enjoy the fun of lecturing a bunch of great minds.
The way to enjoy it was simple, occasionally bursting out with a: "Man can’t be so stupid..."
