Chapter 111: Prove your innocence and request a ban
Su Yi was sure that the other party should be a mathematician from Country R.
She wasn't angered, and a smile remained on her face as she calmly said, "I believe the Holtz Mathematical Institute will have professional technicians to analyze the evidence I provided. We'll soon know if it's nonsense or not."
The head of the institute quickly called in technicians and took away all their computers.
Su Yi continued with his explanation. During this time, someone asked questions to the other three members, and they were able to answer them one by one. Some of them were also questions that had been discussed on the plane, so naturally they did not hesitate at all.
After almost all the previous evidence had been provided, Su Yi took out his trump card.
"In addition, not only can I prove that this manuscript was written by me personally, I will also report this 'whistleblower' for obtaining my manuscript through improper means and slandering me and my team."
As she spoke, Su Yi divided her PPT into two screens, one showing the video of her proving the Poincare conjecture, and the other showing the manuscript evidence of the anonymous whistleblower, for a clear comparison.
"Because of my personal writing habits, when I write the letter 'y', I'll put a small hook at the end to connect it to the next letter. Please see... And please look carefully at this anonymous proof manuscript. Several pages have been processed with special technology. I have restored them..."
Although it is not yet known how the anonymous whistleblower obtained her manuscript, and the other party is also very smart and even rewrote most of it, but Country R probably doesn't know that they have a saying that "too clever is stupid". It would be fine if all of it was rewritten by hand, but he chose to be lazy.
However, Su Yi guessed that the other party wanted to humiliate them through these small details, but she never expected that she, a fifteen-year-old girl, was actually a good hacker.
"Also, I previously proposed a simple procedure for proving the Poincaré conjecture at an international academic exchange conference. However, one of the steps was incorrect. If we had followed that procedure, we would have ended up with a theory that was the opposite of Gregory's proof. Therefore, after the exchange conference, our group corrected it. Please take a look at another manuscript, which still uses my previous steps..."
If she had indeed plagiarized the other party's manuscript, then the proof would ultimately fail.
In fact, when Su Yi first learned about this matter, she was indeed very angry, but after searching through a series of evidence, she found it funny instead.
The whistleblower was probably too anxious to ruin her reputation and failed to deal with the aftermath in a timely manner, so in the end a small tail was left behind.
Professor Zhang Yuan talked to her and said that the academic world was not as pure as she had imagined. Things like plagiarism were actually not uncommon. Many people took chances, thinking that if they were not caught, they would go down in history. Therefore, many people were willing to take risks.
It’s not just plagiarism, it’s also appropriating other people’s learning achievements, or falsifying grades, etc…
Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are rivers and lakes, there are right and wrong.
After six hours of defense and technicians' proof, the judging panel finally held an in-depth discussion for another hour and determined that their papers were not plagiarized.
Not only did he not plagiarize, he even received unanimous approval from the judging panel and was awarded the Gold Prize of the Holtz Medal in Mathematics ahead of schedule. The only condition was to hold a press conference to publish the proof of the Poincare conjecture.
It can be considered a blessing in disguise.
Su Yi reiterated his previous request, demanding that the anonymous whistleblower be banned academically and announced to the world.
At the same time, Professor Zhang Yuan also joined forces with the Domestic Mathematical Association and the International Mathematical Association to put pressure on them to agree to Su Yi's request.
The Holtz Institute for Mathematical Research enjoys such a high reputation and status internationally, naturally emphasizing fairness and justice. After discussion, they decided to agree to Su Yi's request, which also serves as a warning to others who seek fame and reputation through improper means! When the identity was revealed, as expected, it turned out to be from Country R, a mathematics teacher at a certain university, who was attempting to usurp the learning achievements of Su Yi and his group to enhance his own reputation.
The professor from Country R who had previously scolded Su Yi stopped talking. His face was gloomy and ugly, and he looked at them with an unfriendly look.
But so what, they don’t care!
Su Yi even felt that this math teacher was just kicked out as a scapegoat. Even if he was condemned internationally, he would at most no longer be involved in the academic field and stay out of the spotlight for a while.
Su Yi no longer cares about these things. She has worked hard to defend her own dignity, Professor Zhang Yuan's reputation, and the country's reputation!
After the press conference ended, the news quickly spread back to the country.
#After three years, China wins the Gold Medal of the Holtz Medal in Mathematics again!# The topic immediately became a trending search on Weibo. At the same time, major international journals and domestic news media also reported extensively on this event.
Although the Poincaré conjecture had long been proved by the mathematical hermit Gregory, Su Yi and his four colleagues were inspired by the other party's proof steps and proved another step under the guidance of Professor Zhang Yuan. This was enough to make international mathematicians praise them highly, and China's strong mathematical strength was once again proven.
Many domestic news media wanted to interview them, but they unanimously decided to refuse the interviews, especially since there was a 15-year-old girl in the team, which would definitely cause a sensation. So in the end, Professor Zhang Yuan came forward to accept a simple interview and publicly asked the media not to affect his students' normal study and life.
