Chapter 360: Pressing forward step by step, embarrassing in public
Every word Su Yi said was like a gentle knife, cutting into Cao Zaixian's heart. He held the microphone tightly, wanting to know something: "This formula, is, is..."
"Mr. Cao, besides our friends from the media, most of the people here are mathematicians from various countries invited by your country. I hope you can explain to us the true mathematical thinking behind your paper."
Su Yi's gentle yet cold voice kept echoing in Cao Zaixian's ears.
Fine beads of sweat had already appeared on Cao Zaixian's forehead. He kept repeating Su Yi's words in his mind. He clearly wanted to calculate the formula steps, but questioning voices kept appearing in his mind: Wrong, wrong!
This formula is wrong!
That step is wrong too!
All wrong!
…
Cao Zaixian did not answer Su Yi's words, but his panicked look was seen by everyone.
Especially since among the guests present there were representatives from the International Mathematical Association and the most authoritative Kress Mathematical Institute. Seeing this scene, these people knew the truth of the matter and their faces were terribly gloomy.
They really thought that the Goldbach conjecture had been proved!
But in the end, I was tricked?
It's fine if they can't explain such a serious logical error, but they even plagiarized the proof idea from others. Do they think they are all idiots?!
Cao Zaixian's back was soaked with cold sweat, especially when he saw the cold and disappointed eyes of the Minister of Education of Country H, he felt like he was falling into an ice cellar.
There was only one thought in my mind at this moment -
He's finished.
Not only his career, but his life was over.
He was now full of regret. He regretted that he should not have been misled by others and did not carefully consider Gu Suyi's argument in order to grab the credit. He should have discussed it with a few more colleagues before publishing it, so that he would not have fallen into the predicament where he could not even utter a word of explanation.
While feeling regretful, he also deeply hated this Chinese girl.
The hatred in his eyes was captured by the flashlight—
…
At the same time, inside the NE Group building.
Anjo knocked on the door and walked in.
"President, you need to see this..."
An Cheng handed over the IPAD in his hand. The screen was live broadcast, and Gu Suyi's beautiful face appeared in Park Shin Ki's sight.
Park Shin-ki paused in flicking the ash off his cigarette.
"As you expected, Miss Gu showed up, and we have already found out the address of her hotel, but the second young master of the Shen family also came with her." An Cheng said.
Park Shin-ki curled the corners of his mouth.
"Just follow the plan and separate them."
An Cheng nodded in understanding, placed the IPAD on the table, and went out.
Park Shin-ki took a puff of his cigarette, pressed the remaining cigarette into the ashtray, and slowly exhaled a puff of smoke, his eyes full of ambiguous meaning.
…
More and more people were making a commotion in the lecture hall, and some media even began to urge Cao Zaixian to answer Su Yi's questions directly.
Seeing that something was amiss, the assistant next to him quickly spoke up, "As one of the world's three most difficult conjectures, the Goldbach conjecture, Mr. Cao Zaixian clearly made some mistakes and ultimately failed to successfully prove it. We apologize for the inconvenience this has caused you, and we hope someone will be able to prove this conjecture in the future."
This statement immediately aroused public anger.
The representatives of the International Mathematical Association stood up immediately, led by the vice president of the association. He snorted coldly, waved his sleeves and left, walking towards Gu Suyi.
Then he walked up to her and Zhang Yuan and said, "Gu, Professor Zhang, I'm sorry, can we talk alone?"
Su Yi and Zhang Yuan looked at each other, and Zhang Yuan extended his hand: "It is our honor, please..."
This press conference eventually became the biggest joke in academia.
Country H lost all face for this and was even strongly condemned by scholars from many countries. The Minister of Education even wanted to kill the idiot Cao Zaixian!
It’s a question whether he can keep his position!
Moreover, when the live broadcast of the press conference was leaked, Country H was even questioned and insulted by international netizens, and its reputation became extremely bad for a time.
On the contrary, Gu Suyi became famous overnight with the help of Cao Zaixian.
And her name was once again mentioned by mathematicians in many countries.
For this reason, China has once again made its presence felt in the mathematics community.
If Cao Zaixian mentioned Su Yi's name when publishing the paper, it might not have caused such international outrage. However, Cao Zaixian did not mention it at all. While plagiarizing, he repeatedly emphasized that it was completed "independently". He really treated the scholars in the mathematics community as fools.
This is the most crucial reason!
For a long time, country H has become synonymous with "thieves" in the mathematics community, and more seriously, in the entire academic community. Many people who have cooperated with academic researchers from country H have terminated their cooperation with various reasons, and most of the investments of some foreign entrepreneurs have also been terminated.
They invest in promising academic researchers, not thieves who steal the research results of researchers in other countries.
But that’s all in the past.
