The Military-industrial Scientific Research System of the Academic Master Chapter 901

Chapter 901 The one-year period has arrived!

In short, although Chang Haonan just sent a trailer for his new paper, it caused quite a stir in the academic and business circles at the same time.

In addition to COMSOL, several other similar products have also found technical experts or technical teams as quickly as possible to start tracking and analyzing his research developments.

Of course, because most competing products do not specialize in two-phase flow, they either have a superficial taste, or, like COMSOL, continue their original development route after a wave of analysis.

Only ANSYS, which had developed Fluent in the early years, saw the potential behind this paper.

But I also encountered a similar problem to Professor Jameson -

I really can't think of how to accurately and efficiently generate unstructured grids in the Cartesian coordinate system.

Logically speaking, when this happens, since others have published all the papers, they can either pay a high salary to recruit people, or even if they cannot recruit people, they can just provide the author with a research topic.

But this situation is too special—

The person who wrote the paper was the boss of the opposite company.

How do you dig this?

So for the time being, we can only wait and see what happens, and wait and see what the Torch Group can do next.

Some technology media have rekindled the interest of this matter with titles such as "Poincaré Conjecture prover releases arXiv again".

However, we cannot entirely blame these media for causing trouble.

Mainly because the time stuck was too coincidental.

You know, the proof of Poincaré's conjecture is still unfinished.

A year ago, the Clay Mathematics Institute made it clear that although the Poincaré conjecture was proven almost at the same time after it was officially announced, it still belongs to one of the "Millennium Mathematics Problems."

In other words, the two certifiers can share a huge prize of US$1 million in total.

According to the rules set at the time, the money will be officially awarded as soon as one year after the paper is published.

If the proof process still fails to reach a consensus in the mathematical community after one year, it will be postponed until formal recognition is obtained.

Of course, Chang Haonan and Perelman's certification process was approved in less than a month, so the latter clause was not triggered.

Now, the one-year period has arrived.

Everyone is ready to see whether the Clay Institute is really prepared to pay the money as promised, or whether it is just a word of praise.

However, compared to the disturbances from the outside world, Chang Haonan himself is not too concerned about the aftermath of this submission.

During this time, he has been reviewing the manuscripts in the editorial mailbox to decide which articles will be published in the first issue of the JCAS journal—

Normally, this work does not require the editor-in-chief to be personally responsible, but after all, this is Huaxia's first attempt to break into the international mainstream academic community, so it is normal for the standards to be higher.

However, the actual situation is that everyone in the editorial department has much more optimistic expectations.

After all, Chang Haonan's brand name is so effective in China.

Many people even turned to the JCAS editorial department to submit their papers to the top journals in the field.

For example, Professor Feng Qi from the Institute of Technical Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences submitted the gene sequencing and analysis results of rice chromosome 4.

Although it is only 4 pages long, it is an important part of the genome sequencing work.

It is a result that can be published in Nature or Science.

It can definitely be regarded as full support for the work.

In addition, there are many names that Chang Haonan is familiar with.

Xu Yang, who has been working between the Institute of Computing and Torch Group and the Torch Group, developed a high-dimensional observation method for linearized water wave problems with distributed or point measurement functions.

Professor Lin Guofan of Jincheng University proposed a new meteorological theory on the formation mechanism of major weather disasters in southern China...

In short, although the overall strength of Chinese academic circles is still relatively weak at the beginning of the 21st century, it is more than enough to pool the strength of national research institutions to support a quarterly journal.

Of course, since it is an internationally distributed publication, it cannot only contain articles by Chinese scholars.

As Chang Haonan's papers on arXiv are seen by more and more people, some foreign researchers are also submitting articles to the editorial board.

It's just that foreigners don't have any special feelings towards your new journal.

So the quality of these papers is unexpectedly uniform—

There is no chance of submitting to top journals, but I am not willing to submit to some small journals. As there is a new platform with such a powerful platform, it is better to take a gamble and try my luck.

It is also in line with Chang Haonan's initial positioning of JCAS.

Just comparing it with those obviously high-quality submissions in China, it is inevitable to feel a little tasteless and a pity to abandon. Therefore, when Yuan Xiangya rushed to Chang Haonan's office to visit him, the latter was comparing two papers from the same school on the screen with a tangled look on his face, and could not make up his mind for a moment.

“Professor Chang, no, Editor Chang, I've been working hard recently.”

The former put some gifts he brought next to his desk, and then sat on another office chair opposite.

Chang Haonan raised his eyelids, checked that there were no sensitive valuables, and then accepted them without politeness—

During this period, his status was as a chief editor and writer, and it was only natural that he would receive some nutritional supplements from others.

In fact, Yuan Xiangya is also a member of the editorial team.

It's just that there are too few papers related to his field of expertise, so he has a lot of time.

“Forget it, I never expected that there would be so many submissions. In addition to sleeping and eating these days, I have been reading papers almost all the time. I feel like my brain has gone numb..."

Chang Haonan said as he closed both papers, and then dragged one of them into the folder named "Issue 1".

The other article will certainly not be rejected, but it will probably have to wait until the second issue in August to be published...

“In fact, the real submissions are more than ten times more than what we have seen.”

ˆYuan Xiangya has experience in the editorial department of journals before, so he has much more experience in this regard than Chang Haonan:

“Those whose contents are too outrageous, or are just fake, and whose data can be seen at a glance as having problems... In fact, the editors below have already picked them out.”

　　“So there's still so much left?”

Chang Haonan was immediately shocked.

"no way…"

Yuan Xiangya replied in a helpless tone:

"We didn't expect Professor Chang to have such a strong appeal. It was indeed a bit of a mistake. We knew we should have ordered a bimonthly publication... and the quality of the submissions was much higher than we thought before..."

“That's okay, after all, it's just starting out, it's better to be steady.”

Chang Haonan was relatively calm about the current situation, so he waved his hand:

"Our journal is now like Zou Ji. His wives, concubines, and guests all say that he is more beautiful than Xu Gong in the north of the city. It does not mean that it is true. If you look at more submissions, you will find that the high-level ones are all Chinese scholars at home or abroad. , it has a filter on our journal and cannot be regarded as normal.”

As he spoke, he reopened his mailbox and prepared to check the next email.

However, at this moment, the coherent movements suddenly stopped.

“I am worried that the publication interval of the quarterly journal is too long. Some authors cannot wait three months and may be withdrawn..."

Yuan Xiangya was still chatting normally, but halfway through, he found Chang Haonan staring at the computer screen in a daze.

“Professor Chang.”

“Professor Chang?”

He barked twice in succession.

"Um?"

Chang Haonan woke up and looked at Yuan Xiangya:

"Ah...Sorry, I was a little confused just now. What did you just say?"

“It's okay...it's not an important topic.”

Yuan Xiangya shook his head:

“Have you seen any particularly heavyweight paper content?”

He is still more concerned about journal matters.

“That's not true…actually it has nothing to do with the journal.”

Chang Haonan raised his hand and touched his chin:

“The Clay Mathematics Institute sent me an email, saying that the award is ready.”

Yuan Xiangya didn't even react when he heard this sentence:

"What…"

However, before the word "award" was uttered, he had already realized -

"etc…"

“So it's…the $1 million from the Millennium Math Puzzle?”

Chang Haonan nodded, and then shook his head:

“Technically speaking, it's $500,000…”
