Chapter 266 I'll say it first
Zhou Kai immediately took out a stack of printed papers from his schoolbag, hurried forward, and handed them to Professor Wang: "Professor Wang, I have already written the paper and sent it to the journal. Should I be considered to have done it first?"
Professor Wang took the paper and did not speak immediately. He just frowned slightly and carefully flipped through a few pages.
Zhou Kai looked at Professor Wang, feeling a little guilty, and hurriedly added: "Professor Wang, I know you have always valued Li Wenxi more. She was able to participate in national defense projects before, but I didn't have the opportunity. But this time I did write the paper first. Even if you are more partial to Li Wenxi, there is nothing you can do. The decryption of the H47 cipher system this time should be considered as my work."
At this time, the atmosphere in the laboratory became awkward, and the other students looked at each other.
After listening to Zhou Kai's words, Professor Wang looked up at Zhou Kai, and said in a calm and steady tone: "Zhou Kai, you are so eager to argue about who decrypted the H47 cipher system. Don't you want to hear Li Wenxi's research ideas first? Don't you want to know whether your two decryption methods are the same? Maybe your decryption paths are completely different. Then it's not a question of who solved it first, but a double research result."
Zhou Kai was stunned when he heard this, and immediately felt guilty. He used Li Wenxi's research results, so naturally he always thought that the two had the same research method. He hadn't thought about the angle mentioned by Professor Wang.
The students around him all looked at him with strange eyes. The air was filled with embarrassment and suspicion. Zhou Kai's forehead gradually broke out into a cold sweat.
"Oh, I... I didn't think of this possibility." Zhou Kai murmured, his eyes wandering back and forth in the laboratory, not daring to look directly into the eyes of Professor Wang and his classmates.
Professor Wang still maintained a calm attitude, put away the paper in his hand, looked around at the students in the laboratory, and then said: "Since Zhou Kai and Li Wenxi have both conducted the same research, why not do this, Zhou Kai, Li Wenxi, both of you systematically introduce your own decryption ideas and processes. All of us will listen together to see what the difference is between your research."
Li Wenxi stood aside and basically guessed what was going on. She nodded, and then followed Professor Wang into a large classroom with Zhou Kai.
The students in the laboratory also followed, and everyone was curious and puzzled and wanted to listen to this wonderful decryption duel.
Such a difficult H47 code was solved by two students in their laboratory at once. Is their laboratory going to shine?
Professor Wang asked Li Wenxi and Zhou Kai who would go first, and Zhou Kai immediately took the initiative to say, "I'll go first." If Li Wenxi spoke first, and what he said was exactly the same as hers, wouldn't everyone think that he plagiarized? So he had to speak first.
Professor Wang looked at Li Wenxi and asked, "Li Wenxi, do you have any comments?"
Li Wenxi shook her head and said, "No comments."
Then Zhou Kai walked up to the podium and began to explain his decryption ideas.
Li Wenxi listened carefully and soon found that Zhou Kai's decryption ideas were exactly the same as hers. Not only were the algorithms and steps the same, but even some details were handled without any difference. She opened her notebook and compared Zhou Kai's explanation one by one. Sure enough, they were exactly the same as the points in her notebook.
Li Wenxi immediately understood that the problem was in her notebook. She immediately thought of the scene that day when Zhou Kai was writing hard, and she was afraid that he had peeked at her notebook at that time.
Zhou Kai is indeed a smart man. After reading the key points in Li Wenxi's notebook, he quickly deduced the entire decryption process. From his speech, it can be seen that he was well prepared, and his speech was very fluent and full of confidence.
The students in the audience listened with great interest, nodding frequently from time to time, and showing an expression of "so that's how it is" from time to time, obviously shocked by his decryption process.
After Zhou Kai finished speaking, there was a burst of applause from the audience, and several students even gave him a thumbs up: "Zhou Kai, this time you are really going to be famous all over the world." When Zhou
Kai heard these words, his face was full of pride, and he walked off the podium with a sense of satisfaction.
Next, it was Li Wenxi's turn. After Li Wenxi came on stage, she said straight to the point: "My decryption process is basically the same as Zhou Kai's."
Zhou Kai smiled, and the students in the audience whispered to each other.
Li Wenxi continued: "But here, I want to ask Zhou Kai a few questions about the details."
She looked at Zhou Kai and raised a few key questions about the details. These questions seemed simple, but they involved important deductions and logical chains in the decryption process. Zhou Kai's face suddenly changed when he faced these questions, and he hesitated. It was obvious that he didn't know the cause and effect, nor did he really understand these details.
Li Wenxi looked at his bewildered expression and said calmly, "If you don't know, I can help you answer it." She explained the details clearly in clear language, and then pointed out an error that Zhou Kai had just mentioned in his discussion.
Zhou Kai blushed and said hurriedly, "I didn't notice that."
Li Wenxi said calmly, "No, the reason you made a mistake is because I made a mistake in my notebook." Li Wenxi showed her notebook, and sure enough, the error Zhou Kai had just mentioned was exactly the same as the content in her notebook. "I made a mistake in my notebook because of a clerical error. But I know the problem."
As soon as the words fell, the classroom fell into silence, and all the students looked at Zhou Kai in shock. Obviously, they all understood what Li Wenxi meant - Zhou Kai had peeked at her notebook, and only then did he get the same decryption process as hers. Even the mistakes were exactly the same.
Professor Wang had actually guessed it a long time ago. She looked at Zhou Kai with disappointment in her eyes.
Zhou Kai's face turned pale and blue, and he tried to maintain a bit of his dignity and said cunningly, "It's just a coincidence. You can't say I stole your idea because of this little problem. It doesn't affect my completion of the entire decryption process. Anyway, I have submitted the paper to the journal, and they will only recognize the first one submitted."
Fortunately, during the Spring Festival, he stayed up day and night to finish the paper, and even didn't sleep much, and published the paper. Anyway, now he is determined to stick to his claim that he didn't plagiarize, and it doesn't matter what Professor Wang and these classmates think of him. As long as his paper is successfully published and he has the reputation of decrypting the H47 cipher system, he can take this opportunity to go abroad, become famous, and achieve success. As for what the people in this classroom think, it doesn't matter at all.
The classroom suddenly fell silent, and everyone's eyes were focused on Zhou Kai. Many people frowned, and some even showed contempt. Zhou Kai's words were obviously rogue.
At this time, Professor Wang spoke: "Why do you think you published the paper before Li Wenxi?"
