When Lin Xin learned that his paper had been plagiarized, his first reaction was disbelief.
Then he was attacked by the Light Brain Cat's claws.
No matter who you suspect, you can never suspect the optical brain, right? Can the optical brain lie?
Lin Xin: Sometimes you do...
Optical Brain: I would lie to you about such a serious matter?! (Scratching like crazy!)
Lin Xin: I was wrong!
Lin Xin immediately went to check what happened. How could the paper he submitted to the AMS journal be plagiarized? After looking at the monitoring data on the optical computer, Lin Xin was embarrassed.
The research group that plagiarized Lin Xin was also working on the same problem and was stuck in a bottleneck. The professor who was responsible for reviewing Lin Xin's paper happened to be the head of this research group. Perhaps it was the bottleneck of the project that made him feel irritable, or perhaps it was the imbalance that Lin Xin had achieved so much at such a young age, or perhaps it was the fact that the project he had been working on for so long was about to be scrapped that made him mentally collapse. This professor did something unforgivable in the academic world.
Lin Xin's paper helped him break through the research bottleneck and allowed the project to continue. However, although Lin Xin's paper was the first to reach him after entering the review process, he could temporarily withhold Lin Xin's paper to delay the time, but before Lin Xin published the paper, he showed it to his mentor Calvin and several mathematicians at Harvard University. If he kept withholding Lin Xin's paper, Calvin and others would definitely come to trouble him.
He didn't want to waste such a long period of research, so he could only buy time.
Even if he wrote a paper based on the data in Lin Xin's paper, he would not have enough time, so he just slightly modified Lin Xin's paper and published it as the research result of his own research team.
Because he is a senior in the mathematics field and one of the experts responsible for screening the journal, he can skip the preliminary screening process.
The mathematician called Calvin very calmly and said that Lin Xin's research results conflicted with his and his paper happened to be published in this issue.
He said hypocritically, "What a coincidence! My paper is published in this issue, and the proof method in his paper is exactly the same as mine. If it were anyone else, I would definitely suspect that there was a spy in the group. But if it is your student, I believe it is just an amazing coincidence. Ask him to revise the paper and publish it in the next issue. Although my proof method is the same as his, he proved it himself after all, and I am embarrassed to invalidate the research results of young people just because of my seniority."
Calvin knew that this mathematician was also studying this topic. Because of his qualifications and good reputation among academics, he did not doubt the truth of this matter. Of course, he would not doubt his own students. He just felt sorry that Lin Xin encountered such a coincidence.
If the optical computer had not been monitoring in real time and had not held sufficient evidence, Lin Xinding would have thought it was a coincidence.
After all, the other party is a big name in the academic world and has been studying this problem for a long time. Even if the other party's paper overlaps with my own to a great extent, maybe they really have the same thoughts?
Even if Lin Xin suspected the other party, he would have no way to defend himself given the other party's status and position. Maybe someone would suspect that he bribed the members of the other party's research team and stole the other party's research results.
Who makes him young, inexperienced, and rich?
While focusing on his career in the entertainment industry, Lin Xin did not forget his hobbies, and maintained his reputation as a genius in the mathematical academic community by publishing a high-quality paper every two years.
There are many geniuses in the mathematics world. At Lin Xin's age, his research results and speed are not uncommon, but Lin Xin's career in the entertainment industry is also brilliant. Lin Xin has achieved such success in two completely unrelated industries, so it is inevitable that some people will feel jealous. Some people even say that Lin Xin's achievements in academia may not be his own at all, but that there is a team serving Lin Xin, and Lin Xin only needs to sign the achievements.
Of course, this rumor was quickly dispelled. Except for the first few papers co-authored with Calvin, all other papers were signed by Lin Xin alone. Although Calvin "reviewed" Lin Xin's papers, he refused to sign his name.
He believes that he made no contribution to Lin Xin's thesis and he should not take credit for it just because he is Lin Xin's supervisor and he should not encourage such unhealthy practices.
If it was a team, Lin Xin would at most be the first author, and there would definitely be other people who would sign their names.
Of course, some people also speculated that Lin Xin paid those people not to sign their names. But people who can research these results should have their own papers in the mathematical academic world. But they have never heard of anyone in the academic world following Lin Xin's research.
Truth will come to light sooner or later. If Lin Xin really had networked a large number of mathematicians to serve him, even if they were just students from the mathematics department, people in the academic community would definitely know about it.
However, some people imagined that Lin Xin locked people up in a small dark room, like in some movies and TV dramas, where people who really produced results were locked up in a dungeon to do academic research, and Lin Xin only needed to take away their academic results.
Some people even came out to "testify", some saying that they were detained by Lin Xin, and some saying that they knew someone who was detained by Lin Xin.
In this regard, Lin Xin handed it all over to the lawyer.
The Internet is a lawless place for many people. It is difficult to collect evidence as long as the IP address is changed. But for Lin Xin, a system intelligence, online speech is much easier to trace than what you say.
Lin Xin's complaints were always successful, and soon this evil trend was suppressed. Lin Xin became a person who could not be mentioned.
But of course there are still many people who are not convinced. Even if Lin Xin produced evidence and the other party admitted that he was talking nonsense, there are always people who compiled Lin Xin's "black material package" and made it sound like it was true.
Of course, Lin Xin sent lawyers' letters to all of these people, without leaving out any of them.
Lin Xin didn't mind getting more compensation. Although he was a system intelligence who didn't like money and was not at all vulgar, money was still very useful.
If this incident were to come out, even though they have no evidence that Lin Xin stole the other party's paper, they would definitely make sarcastic remarks and would not stand on Lin Xin's side.
It is mediocre people who are not envied. As for geniuses like Lin Xin, there are many people who have no grudges against him but hope that he will get into trouble every day.
After Lin Xin figured out the matter, he wanted to sue the person immediately, but he hadn't published the paper yet, so it seemed too early to sue. So he contacted his mentor Calvin and asked about this issue.
Calvin was just about to tell Lin Xin about the conflict between his thesis and someone else's, but unexpectedly Lin Xin called him and told him this bombshell news, which almost made him lose his mind.
Calvin still couldn't believe it: "Xin, do you really have evidence?"
Lin Xin said, "Yes, I have the video. There were surveillance cameras in the room when the paper was being reviewed. Although he had someone destroy the surveillance cameras, someone secretly saved a copy and sent it to me. The surveillance video showed his reaction when he saw my paper. It was true that he had not yet produced any results. Of course, he discussed the theft of my paper with the people in his research group. Although they all agreed on the surface, someone felt guilty and secretly recorded the audio and video."
When the optical brain learned that the mathematician had decided to steal Lin Xin's paper, it hacked into the mathematician's mobile phone. After that, he monitored the mobile phones of the mathematician's surrounding people in a timely manner, and could use the mobile phone camera and microphone to monitor the mathematician in real time.
Although the mathematician and the members of the research team deliberately chose a place without surveillance when discussing the theft of Lin Xin's paper, the optical computer can collect recorded evidence through their mobile phones.
If it was just a recording, some people might still talk nonsense, but Lin Xin was lucky. Several people had their cell phones in their hands or on the table. There were also several computers in the room, and the optical computer collected sufficiently detailed video evidence.
After sorting, the optical computer packaged the clearest videos as evidence, and Lin Xin sent all the evidence to Calvin.
After reading the evidence, Calvin overturned the coffee table in front of him and immediately went to settle the score with that man.
But the other party was not afraid at all. He said that these were all forged and that Lin Xin had character problems.
The other party threatened Calvin that with his status, no one would believe Lin Xin even if he presented these forged evidences, so he told Lin Xin to fend for himself.
At the same time, many people in the academic community put pressure on Calvin and Lin Xin, and tried to persuade Lin Xin to give up.
Lin Xin just said that he would wait for that person to publish the article, and as soon as he published it, he would sue him immediately.
"You know whether the evidence is true or false." Lin Xin said when he received the call from the other party, "If you are really sure that the evidence is false, then you would not call me, and you would not find so many people to put pressure on me and my tutor, right? I am telling you this now before you make a big mistake, out of respect for your previous contributions to the mathematical academic community. As long as you don't make mistakes again, I will not sue you, will not tell the media, and will not even ask you to apologize. Everything will be treated as if it never happened. If you insist on doing so, then bear the consequences."
Lin Xin hung up the phone domineeringly, and frowned in confusion as he looked at the recording file in his phone.
Xue Fei already knew about this. He watched Lin Xin answer the phone and was even angrier than Lin Xin. He said he would make the other party pay the price.
Lin Xin was not angry. He had solid evidence in hand, and he was not the one who would suffer in the end. As for the saying that the person was very famous in the academic world, had many students all over the world, and would make him suffer in the end, he did not feel anything at all.
His main job is to be a star, and those people can't reach into the entertainment industry, so what is he afraid of? As for mathematics, it's just his hobby. It's just that the other party blocked him from publishing papers in international weekly magazines, so he can just publish in China, or publish on Facebook.
It's just a hobby anyway, it doesn't matter where I post it.
He didn't care at all about his status and reputation in the mathematical academic community.
As the intelligence of a superstar's godhood system, apart from his achievements in the entertainment industry, nothing else has anything to do with him.
He was just very confused. He clearly had solid evidence and the other party knew he would lose if he continued to argue like this, so why did the other party still insist on making things difficult for him and refuse to give up?
When the tutor found him, no one else knew about it, so he could just call it quits and pretend it never happened. Even if someone talked about it privately, he could deny it because it hadn't been made public yet. He wouldn't keep harping on it.
But he contacted people everywhere, trying to "deal with" the matter. He also made it public and made a big deal out of it. It wouldn't do him any good, right?
Does he really have no idea and really think he can threaten me?
Lin Xin thought he was now more like a human being, but things kept popping up, telling him that his thinking was far from that of humans.
This kind of thing is totally incomprehensible.
Lin Xin himself was very calm, but the people around him were so angry that they vomited blood. His parents, who were in the academic circle, hated this kind of thing so much that they wanted to challenge the other party to a fight.
Of course, it was impossible for Lin's father and mother to challenge each other to a fight, so they immediately contacted everyone they knew in the academic, political, and business circles, packaged the matter and the evidence and sent them to them, hoping that they would be able to make the decision for their son when the time came.
Lin's father and mother knew very well the importance of flattery at this time. They told their acquaintances in the political circle that Lin Xin was now the most dazzling star in China's mathematics community and might also be the most dazzling mathematician in China's history. If they were suppressing Lin Xin now, they were suppressing China's mathematics cause and they just didn't want China's mathematicians to succeed.
This is not directed at Lin Xin alone, but at the entire Chinese mathematician circle, the entire Chinese academic circle, and the entire China.
This is not just Lin Xin's personal matter, it is a matter concerning the nation and the country.
Lin Xin, with his current achievements, can fully represent the highest level of Chinese mathematics. This is a fact recognized by all the old mathematicians in China.
Lin's father and mother's acquaintances heard the news and understood what was going on, especially those in the political circle, and they immediately reported the matter, even alarming the top leaders.
Gu Meng also contacted the leader he was working with, saying that bullying of Lin Xin would never be tolerated, and hoped to work with the authorities to give a good lesson to those idiots abroad who dared to offend China's national prestige.
As for why bullying Lin Xin is an insult to China's national prestige... Well, Lin Xin is recognized by all mathematicians in China and is currently a leading figure in the mathematical academic community, even though Lin Xin is still young.
And precisely because Lin Xin is still young, his future is limitless. Who knows how many more miracles he will create for the mathematical academic community and how much glory he will bring to the country. He is already one of the faces of China.
Bullying Lin Xin is, of course, an offense to China.
The Lin family and Gu Meng were trying to change the concept, but those who heard them secretly laughed and nodded, saying that it made sense and they would definitely handle the matter properly.
On the premise that the evidence is conclusive, of course we should support Lin Xin.
The Chinese Mathematical Society immediately held a meeting and passed an opinion that if the AMS Journal could not come to a conclusion that satisfied them, they would jointly boycott the AMS Journal and never submit articles to the AMS Journal again.
Lin Xin himself only planned to wait until the other party published the paper before suing him, but the people around him were already actively working to make a big fuss about the matter.
Everyone was waiting for the mathematician's action, just like a person who had already lit a lighter and brought it close to the explosives. As long as the other party dared to publish it, they would immediately light the lighter and detonate the explosives.
Lin Xin thought logically that the other party had learned about China's attitude and knew that he had a powerful country behind him to support him. His position in the academic world could not compete with the unity of a country's academic world, and his tricks would not succeed. So, he should stop, right? Although he stopped now, his reputation would be almost ruined, and everyone who should know about it would know about it, but at least he did not go to court with him and would not bear legal responsibility.
Lin Xin was still thinking that even if he still didn't stop, the editorial team of the AMS journal knew about it and they would not publish a problematic paper.
But the final result once again exceeded Lin Xin's expectations.
That person still chose to publish the paper, and the AMS journal published the paper even though it was aware of the problems with the paper.
Lin Xin learned from the video footage retrieved by the optical computer that the editorial team of the AMS journal had held a meeting on the matter, but most people thought that they should trust that mathematician because he was a senior in the academic world, a big name in the academic world, their good partner and colleague, and they also knew how much effort this mathematician had put into this difficult problem.
Compared to themselves who only publish one paper every two years, compared to themselves who do not have any research team, and compared to themselves who are still thriving in the entertainment industry, they obviously believe more that a senior in mathematics achieved this result through years of joint efforts with the research team.
This is more logical, more positive, and makes people feel more comfortable, isn't it?
Not only did they publish the paper, they also returned Lin Xin's paper and even issued a warning to Lin Xin.
The warning was also posted on their website, causing an uproar.
Lin Xin’s public relations team was well prepared, as was the Chinese academic community, and they immediately launched a counterattack.
Lin Xin immediately filed a lawsuit and accepted a media interview, saying that he initially just wanted to have a private chat, and also provided evidence to the AMS Journal. The AMS Journal chose to shield the other party and issued a warning to him even though it knew about the matter and had already obtained evidence.
Lin Xin said: "Whether this evidence is false or not, the court's technicians can prove it. I have also posted it online, and technicians all over the world can prove it. My first paper was published in the AMS Journal, and my subsequent papers were only published in the AMS Journal. I am very disappointed that this happened. I am only speaking for myself that from now on, I will never contribute to this weekly magazine again."
After Lin Xin released the statement, many mathematicians in China's mathematical academic community jointly issued a statement, saying that unless the AMS journal formally apologized to Lin Xin, they would no longer contribute to this weekly magazine in support of Lin Xin.
All professors and students in the Department of Mathematics at Harvard University also issued a joint statement, stating that they would not submit papers to AMS until the AMS Journal apologized.
The entire academic community was in an uproar. Many academic bigwigs who had lived in seclusion were dragged into the water and took sides. Some said they supported Lin Xin, some said they believed in the mathematician, and some said that even if this was true, Lin Xin was too unkind. The other party was an old predecessor who had made outstanding contributions to the mathematics community, and Lin Xin was nailing him to the pillar of shame.
In this matter, public opinion is on Lin Xin's side. Lin Xin had expressed his willingness to settle the matter privately at the beginning, but the other party insisted on doing so, and Lin Xin had no choice but to take up legal weapons to protect himself.
In the end, of course, Lin Xin won the case, the AMS journal apologized, and the mathematician's reputation was ruined for many years.
When the court announced the verdict, the mathematician was admitted to the hospital. It was said that he wanted to commit suicide after being rescued.
At this time, public opinion began to sympathize with the mathematician who had a momentary change of mind, and began to accuse Lin Xin of being a bit extreme.
The mathematician's students and colleagues also said that although Lin Xin was on the right side in this matter, they still hated Lin Xin very much and wanted to boycott Lin Xin.
The turmoil over this incident is still ongoing and may last for several years, a dozen years, or even decades.
But for Lin Xin, the matter was over after he received the compensation. However, he never contributed to the AMS journal again. He even did not contribute to any journals, but actually published his research results directly on his Facebook blog.
Lin Xin's Facebook, which had been idle, has been posting more and more posts, sometimes every day. There are Lin Xin's manuscripts, screenshots of Lin Xin's calculations on the computer, and of course, there are also results that have already formed conclusions.
People outside the circle were dazzled, while the academic community was surprised to find that Lin Xin was studying multiple difficult problems in mathematics at the same time and had even put forward his own conjectures.
Lin Xin said that all these data are shared publicly. If someone sees his calculation process and reaches the conclusion before him, it doesn’t matter. Just notify him and indicate the citation.
"This is a good opportunity for me to get away from the serious academic atmosphere and shift more energy to my interests. I don't have to force myself to come up with a conclusion before studying the next difficult problem. What I like is the process of calculation and decryption." Lin Xin said.
Lin Xin's move completely confused his fans.
From then on, they completely couldn’t understand their idols’ Facebook posts, and they even dared not speak in their Facebook posts.
Because the people there are all studying mathematics, and they are discussing topics that they don't understand. If they send "666", they will look like fools.
Fans wanted to cry but had no tears. Lin Xin started to pick up his long-abandoned face to make them happy, but posting something that was incomprehensible...
No, it’s not just that I can’t understand it. It should give me nightmares after reading it, nightmares about failing a math exam.
It is really hard for fans to be fans of a star like Lin Xin who has a wrong style.
The author has something to say: I have been suffering from insomnia recently and ended up having a fever_(:з」∠)_ It turns out that sleep is more important than the side effects of sleeping pills. Don't follow my example, make sure you get a good night's sleep.
Academic fraud is very common both at home and abroad. Although the crackdown is not weak, it is sometimes difficult to hold high-level academics accountable for fraud, and holding them accountable will also affect the future of the whistleblower. I am sure you also know that it is very common for college students' papers to be published by the other party without the other party's guidance. If they are lucky, they can have a second or third author, but if they are unlucky, they will have nothing, especially undergraduates, because core journals have a hard rule that undergraduate authors are not allowed, so... well, even if you wrote this paper, your name will not be on the author list.
This is the unspoken rule in the academic circle. People usually choose to endure it, thinking that they are buying a favor from the professor with their papers, so that they can graduate more smoothly or have a smoother academic career. It is generally believed in the circle that this is a good deal, and it is also considered an honor for undergraduates' papers to be used by professors. If someone exposes it, they will be attacked by everyone. After all, a paper may be more cost-effective than giving a red envelope, right?
