Chapter 65: I just want to take a sip and ask for a monthly ticket~)
How long does it take for a person to fall from the altar to the bottom? The answer is the distance of one article.
The questioning article about the world-renowned authoritative expert in mathematics was discovered by the media and immediately detonated the entire Internet. This was a ten-page article, most of which was about Lin Fan's paper.
Analyze a certain problem and then give a brand new solution.
From the current point of view, Lin Fan is destined to fail, because most mathematicians have found the cause of his problem through the articles of this authoritative mathematics expert. In fact, the problem is not big but it is very fatal, which is enough to ruin a person's reputation.
Regarding this situation, Liu Yun'er is almost desperate. Although some authoritative media have not yet spoken out, those unscrupulous media have begun to do whatever they can to get traffic, and doubts are getting louder and louder. You must know that Lin Fan's original report was all
It was sent by these media.
at this time,
The landline rang. The caller was Dean Zheng of the Department of Mathematics and Physics. The message was very simple. Lin Fan would not be given the title of Associate Professor of the Department of Mathematics for the time being. There was no way that the pressure from outside public opinion was too great. If at this time of crisis,
, and returning it to Lin Fan, an associate professor in the Department of Mathematics, will undoubtedly increase the opposition online.
The wall fell and everyone pushed it
Dean Zheng was clearly looking forward to it at the beginning, but he didn't expect that a questionable article would lead to this result, and even the original plan would be changed.
At this moment, Liu Yun'er suddenly had the idea of resigning, leaving the scientific research world forever, or taking her husband and children to the University of California, Berkeley, to continue serving as a tenured professor.
However, this idea only existed for a second before Liu Yun'er rejected it. If he really did this, the consequences would be even more disastrous. At least now, Big Pig's Hoof is unparalleled in the field of physics and no one can shake it.
.
Thinking for a long time,
Liu Yun'er went to the mathematics department building and asked her teacher, Professor Hu, to discuss countermeasures.
Soon I arrived at Professor Hu's office. When I opened the door, I saw that Guo Li was already there. Liu Yun'er didn't say much and sat next to Guo Li.
"Teacher Hu"
"Is there really a problem with Lin Fan's paper?" Liu Yun'er asked eagerly.
"well"
"Judging from the current situation, there is indeed a problem." Teacher Hu sighed and said helplessly: "But it's a bit nitpicking. Who would have thought that there would be such an error in this system of equations?"
"Now"
"Mathematicians from Harvard University, University of Paris, Princeton University, Ecole Normale Supérieure in Paris, etc., all agreed with the expert who questioned Lin Fan's paper." Guo Li paused and asked cautiously: "
How is your husband doing?"
"he"
"He should still be sleeping in his cage. He was a little tired last night." Liu Yun'er responded casually, and then said: "Then what should we do now?"
"Issuing a personal announcement and admitting my mistakes is all I can think of," said Teacher Hu.
Admit your mistake?
Can he really do it?
As Lin Fan's wife, Liu Yun'er knows very well what kind of person her husband is. He looks stupid and like a big idiot on weekdays, but in the field of scientific research, he has absolute confidence. He is a man who is extremely proud.
, getting him to admit his mistakes? It’s harder than going to heaven
"he"
"I'm afraid he will be stubborn to the end." Liu Yun'er sighed and said helplessly: "He will never admit it."
"well"
"It's also your husband's temper. Sometimes it's similar to yours." Teacher Hu said helplessly: "Xiao Yun, don't go to work today. Go back to be with your husband right away. He is probably very frustrated now. Please enlighten him."
"Um"
"I'll ask my dad to take me back now."
Liu Zhongtao drove his daughter home. Looking at his daughter's sad face along the way, he felt helpless. However, he had no control over matters in the field of scientific research and could only allow the situation to gradually deteriorate and then get out of control.
"dad"
"Do you think Lin Fan will suffer from depression?" Liu Yun'er pursed her lips and said nervously: "He is very proud and does not allow himself to fail, but now he is facing such a big trouble, I'm afraid he will suffer
Can't take a blow."
"OK OK!"
"Xiao Lin is not as fragile as you think!" Liu Zhongtao said, "Isn't it just that he made a mistake? He is not a saint, he will always make mistakes."
"no the same!"
"Despite his usual indifferent appearance, he has always had very high demands on himself in the field of scientific research." Liu Yun'er said silently with a hint of sadness: "Dad, am I wrong?"
Liu Zhongtao didn't say anything, but honestly speaking, his son-in-law's development to this point had a lot to do with his daughter, and it was her daughter who was behind it all.
"Human nature"
"It would be the same for anyone else." Liu Zhongtao said calmly: "Don't think too much!"
for a long time,
Liu Zhongtao sent his daughter downstairs. He originally planned to go up to check on his son-in-law, but his daughter drove him back.
Gently opening the door, she didn't see her husband in the living room. It didn't take a guess to know that Lin Fan should be in the bedroom or study at this time. The next second Liu Yun'er came to the study and slowly pushed the door.
Opened the door.
Then he saw Lin Fan, sitting in front of the computer, not knowing what he was doing.
"Huh?"
"Why are you back?" Lin Fan looked at Liu Yun'er standing at the door in surprise and asked curiously.
""
"I was worried about you, so I asked dad to send me back." Liu Yun'er pursed her lips and walked to Lin Fan's side. Only then did she realize that her husband was not visiting the website, but making a physical model.
On the model of strange hadronic states.
"Worry?"
"Why are you worried about me?" Lin Fan asked confused.
Liu Yun'er hesitated for a moment, thinking about whether to tell him, but sooner or later he would know about it, so he finally told him.
"husband"
"In a top mathematics forum in the United States, an authoritative expert in the field of mathematics publicly questioned a system of equations in your paper and gave the latest solution. Many well-known mathematicians agreed with that authoritative expert's article.
Liu Yun'er paused and continued: "And now the Internet is full of mistakes about you."
Hearing Liu Yun'er's words, Lin Fan was stunned for about ten seconds.
mistake?
Did I make a mistake?
No, every step is carefully calculated by myself, and there is no possibility of mistakes.
But it’s hard to say that since I’m not a god, I can’t be 100% correct.
at this time,
Liu Yun'er, who was standing aside, saw her husband looking confused and surprised, and felt very uncomfortable. She hugged his head, buried his head in her own trench, and gently stroked the back of his head.
.
"Husband is fine"
"My children and I will always be by your side and will never leave you." Liu Yun'er said softly, "Our family will definitely get through this difficult time."
now,
Lin Fan finally came to his senses, feeling the softness that hit his face, and felt quite moved in his heart. However, he was still moved. Gradually, Lin Fan felt that he was suffocating.
"Old old wife?"
"I can't breathe." Lin Fan said weakly.
The next second,
Liu Yun'er hurriedly let go of Lin Fan's head, and then looked at him breathing in fresh air.
"husband"
"I'm sorry." Liu Yun'er pursed her lips, lowered her head, and said softly: "It's all my fault. It's all my fault for having such a good face, forcing you to stand in such a high position. Now that others have come up with evidence to question you, you have the possibility of ruining your reputation.
, Dean Zheng called me before and told me that your associate professor in the Department of Mathematics would be temporarily relieved."
After saying that,
Liu Yun'er raised her head, looked at Lin Fan in front of her, and said pitifully: "Husband, will you forgive me?"
In fact, Lin Fan was not affected at all. Instead, he was a little curious about what problems the other party pointed out in his article. As for the so-called ruined reputation and the slowness of the associate professor of mathematics, he didn't care at all.
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
"You are not wrong at all, what should I forgive you for?" Lin Fan took Liu Yun'er's hand, gently pulled it over, let her sit on his lap, and said: "You just did your best as a wife.
I have no time to thank you for fulfilling my obligations, so how can I blame you?"
"OK OK"
"Stop thinking so wildly." Lin Fan said with a smile: "Actually, I don't care at all. I really don't care at all. If I cared so much about merit and fame, I wouldn't have worked in the library for so long."
After saying that,
Lin Fan paused and continued: "Besides, science is open to questioning. My paper is public and anyone has the right to question my content."
""
"You really think so?" Liu Yun'er bit her lip and said softly, "But the more you do this, the more uncomfortable I feel."
Talking and talking,
His eyes slowly turned red.
"so"
"Husband makes a request. If you satisfy him, then we will be even." Lin Fan said with a smile.
Liu Yun'er nodded and said as thinly as an ant: "Just tell me, my wife will agree to it."
