Chapter 57 It’s not too difficult to finish the manuscript

"Huh? Is it overdue?"

One day in early February, Lin Xiao suddenly saw that he had received an email in English. He glanced at it and saw that it was a reply from the Annual Journal of Mathematics.

"Hello Mr. Lin, your manuscript has passed the review of the Annual Journal of Mathematics and can be included and published in the journal. We plan to publish your manuscript in the third volume of the 187th issue, so please submit it on March 15 Please send the signed copyright agreement to the Editorial Office of the Annals of Mathematics, 311-Fine-Hall, Washington Street, Princeton University, NJ 08544, United States.

Please also send the source materials of your manuscript and check the format of your paper. We recommend you use LaTeX..."

Looking at this long list of English, Lin Xiao basically understood it, except for some proper nouns.

But no matter what, his paper passed the review and will be published in the "Annals of Mathematics".

Such an achievement that not many people in China have achieved, was accomplished by oneself?

"It seems...it's not too difficult."

Lin Xiao thought so.

But he was soon cheered up, "Of course, it's all related to the fact that I have been working independently and studying hard on my own for so long."

"System, give me some experience!"

No reply.

Lin Xiao curled his lips, this assistant was not doing its best at all, and his motivation to continue working hard in the future was gone.

System: "Warn once."

Lin Xiao panicked: "Ah haha, it's just a joke. System brother, don't be angry."

Later, Lin Xiao lost his temper and told the news to Teacher Xu Hongbing and Professor Zhou Wu from Beijing University.

The Annual Journal of Mathematics was able to respond within one month. Compared with its usual review period of 2 or 3 months, this speed is certainly very fast. This must be related to the School of Mathematics at Beijing University, so Lin Of course Xiao had to thank her again.

Afterwards, the two mathematics professors inevitably sent him congratulations.

At the same time, of course they all sighed with emotion that Lin Xiao's paper actually passed the review.

Although they had expected this result, they couldn't help but be surprised when they heard that a seventeen-year-old high school student's paper had passed the review of the Annual Journal of Mathematics and would be published in it.

What a gift from heaven.

With this paper, Lin Xiao would have no problem working as a teacher at Beijing University directly after graduation, and he might be able to become a full professor soon.

A paper can last a lifetime. You have every chance to apply for Qianqing. The starting funding for Qianqing is 3 million.

This young man doesn’t have to worry about anything in his life.

Of course, they also sincerely hope that Lin Xiao can continue to use his talents and become a pillar of the Chinese mathematics community in the future.

…

Time passed quickly.

The Spring Festival in 2018 is on February 16th, which is New Year’s Eve on February 15th.

The senior year of Jincheng High School will have a holiday starting from February 13th. They will have a ten-day holiday and school will start ten days later.

Jincheng High School is also kind and has not done anything to start school early. Of course, Jincheng High School has done it before, but it was reported by students and then disappeared.

As a result, the senior high school students who will face the college entrance examination in less than four months finally have their first long vacation after studying hard for so long.

However, for Lin Xiao, there was no feeling at all, because the school felt that he had to prepare for the second phase of selection in late March, so he was specially allowed not to come to class.

Lin Xiao was not pretentious. She had classes six days a week, went to school two days a week, and stayed at home for the remaining five days.

At home, he continued to read the mathematics books sent to him by Beijing University.

Now another month has passed, and he has finished reading the previous abstract algebra, and has also studied the textbooks including geometry, ordinary differential equations and mathematical models. Now he has begun to read Ahlfors' complex analysis, which is the function of complex variables. Argument.

Reading is not fast. It is basically impossible to finish a book in one day and understand all the contents, especially when it is all new knowledge.

For Lin Xiao, it takes at least seven days to read a book before he can fully understand it. It is a little more troublesome, such as the complex analysis textbook. He has read it for eight days now, but there is still some content left, and he still needs two days. It takes days to finish reading.

But, there was enough time anyway, so he wasn't in a hurry.

Of course, after reading so many books, he also gained experience and truth points again. Now, his personal panel has become:

[Host: Lin Xiao]

[Truth point: 10.7]

[Cosmic Truth Branch Level]

[Mathematics: Level 2 (91/250)]

[Chemistry: Level 0 (2/10)]

[Physics: Level 0 (2/10)]

[Biology: Level 0 (2/10)]

[Materials Science: Level 0 (0/10)]

[Informatics: Level 0 (0/10)]

Because he has not started learning other subjects, other subjects are still at level 0. However, Lin Xiao decided to wait until he comes back from participating in IMO to start expanding into other subjects. For example, he will start with physics first and focus on other subjects. Books are just fine. Anyway, just reading books can add 5 experience points.

Of course, this will have to wait until July this year.

…

The long holiday has begun, and New Year’s Eve, February 15th, has quietly arrived.

In Jincheng City in 2018, the setting off of fireworks and firecrackers has not yet been banned. Listening to the sound of firecrackers ringing outside the window, and the occasional explosions of fireworks in the distant sky, even Lin Xiao, who is immersed in learning, can no longer find it difficult. Maintain that state.

He put down his pen, opened the curtains, and looked outside at the already darkened sky, which was still shining from time to time due to fireworks. Lin Xiao watched quietly, and in his mind, beyond the dark sky, he constructed a scene of the universe. So, what is the truth of the universe?

"Lin Xiao, it's time to eat!"

Mom's voice sounded.

Lin Xiao responded and had eve dinner with her family.

After the first day of the Lunar New Year, it was natural to visit various relatives' homes to pay New Year greetings. On the second day of the Lunar New Year, he and his family visited a relative's house.

When he arrived at his relatives' house, it goes without saying that he was praised by the elders. After that, he was called by his relatives to tutor one of his younger brothers.

My little brother is in the first grade of junior high school this year, and his grades are usually pretty good. He has always been among the top five in the class.

But, at the same time, he was only twelve years old and not yet thirteen, and was in the rebellious stage.

Lin Xiao sat next to him and said with a smile: "Your mother asked me to teach you, is there anything I don't know how to do?"

"No, you don't need to teach me."

The little brother curled his lips and seemed a little unconvinced by Lin Xiao.

Since October last year, he has often heard his parents say, ‘Learn from your cousin’, ‘Look at your cousin’, ‘Contact your cousin more when you have time’…

In the past, he was among the top five in the class and the top 20 in grade. He had always been what other parents called "other people's children." But now he was bombarded with "other people's children." Of course, he was not convinced in his rebellious stage.

Lin Xiao raised his eyebrows and continued to say with a smile: "That's okay."
