The Science Fiction World of Xueba

Lingziding Village belongs to Dayu Township, Anhe County, G Province.

Lingziding Village is nearly 100 kilometers away from the county seat of Anhe County.

From Lingziding Village to the county seat, one has to walk a day and one night on the mountain road to the township government of Dayu Township, and then take a bus to the county seat.

Before going out, Pang Xuelin took the dry food specially prepared for him by Ah Qing, cornmeal buns, a pot of water, and a pack of pickles.

All the way across mountains and ridges, although the straight-line distance from the township government of Dayu Township to Lingziding Village is only 30 kilometers, the real road to go is several times more than that.

Occasionally, there will be several villages passing by along the way, dotted among the mountains, with smoke from the kitchen, a peaceful and serene rural appearance.

In the evening, Pang Xuelin came to a mountain temple for passing tourists to rest overnight.

Now that the New Year is approaching, there are quite a few pedestrians passing by. When Pang Xuelin arrived, there were probably three or four people inside.

But Pang Xuelin didn't intend to talk to them either.

Mix corn buns with water, add pickles, and make a casual meal.

Nothing to say all night.

The next day, Pang Xuelin continued to set off until two o'clock in the afternoon before arriving at the township office of Dayu Township and catching the last minibus heading to the county seat.

Shake all the way.

It was already six o'clock in the evening when we arrived at the county seat.

Pang Xuelin found a five-yuan Datongpu small hotel, had a nice run with hot water, and then slept all night in a room filled with foot odor and snoring.

Early in the morning, Pang Xuelin was woken up by those people who got up early and hurried on their way.

He also had no choice but to get up, eat a soy milk bun on the street, and then rush to Anhe Bus Station. After spending 24 yuan, he took the bus to the provincial capital Lincheng.

Pang Xuelin had inquired before that the Anhe County Post Office did not open international postal services, so he could only rush to the provincial capital to find the post office to deliver his thesis.

On the evening of the third day after departure, Pang Xuelin finally completed the hundreds of kilometers journey from Lingziding to Lincheng.

It was already evening when he arrived in Lincheng, Pang Xuelin first dealt with him casually on the street, and then found a small guest house to stay.

In this era of Lincheng, although the urban population exceeds two million, the level of urban construction is completely different from the previous life.

The 30-story department store building is the tallest building in Lincheng, and there are only a handful of tall buildings with more than 10 floors in the entire Lincheng.

There are messy wires everywhere on both sides of the road, especially when it comes to the gate of getting off work, the streets are full of bicycles, and from time to time you can see the unique air bag buses and trackless electric buses cruising the streets of this era.

The guest house costs twenty-five yuan per night. Pang Xuelin must finish what he has to do as soon as possible, otherwise he will not be able to cope with how many days with this little money.

the next morning,

Pang Xuelin went straight to the Lincheng Post Office to handle the international mailing business.

This time, Pang Xuelin also submitted the paper to the "annals of theatics" ("Annals of Mathematics") held in Princeton.

The four major international authoritative academic journals in the field of mathematics are Annals of Mathematics, New Advances in Mathematics, Acta Theatica and Journal of the American Mathematical Society.

The reason for choosing the Annals of Mathematics is because of the authority of the journal. On the other hand, the Journal of the American Mathematical Society has just been published for a few years, and its influence is still far behind that of the Annals of Mathematics. New Advances in Mathematics Both "Acta Theatica" and "Acta Theatica" are quarterly. Even if they are finally published smoothly, it will take longer than Pang Xuelin expected.

Therefore, the Annals of Mathematics is the best choice.

Unlike the real world, in the 1990s, it was very difficult for mathematics researchers in mainland China to publish an article in the four major journals.

Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the papers published in the four major journals can be counted with one hand.

Even in this era, as long as you publish a paper in the four major journals, you are by default eligible to be elected as an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Therefore, as long as the thesis can be successfully published in "annals of theatrics", the situation of Pang Xuelin and even the entire Lingziding Primary School will undergo earth-shaking changes

More than 60 pages of handwritten papers in English can be sent from Lincheng to Princeton, and it will take more than a month at the fastest.

The young girl who helped Pang Xuelin handle the international mailing business looked at Pang Xuelin with scrutiny from time to time.

Beautiful English calligraphy, dozens of pages of English articles written by hand, plus Pang Xuelin wearing an old army green coat, with a dusty appearance, which is against harmony no matter how you look at it.

"Comrade, is there anything wrong with the document I want to mail?"

"Oh it's all right!"

The girl stamped the payment slip, and said, "Take this payment slip and pay at the window opposite, and just give me the receipt after paying the money."

"OK!"

Pang Xuelin looked at the postage fee of 124 yuan on the payment slip, and couldn't help feeling a little bit pained.

However, he still readily paid the money and left. Compared with the harvest, this little effort is nothing at all.

After finishing the international mailing business, the remaining dozen articles have to be submitted to domestic journals, but compared to submitting to the "Annals of Mathematics", submitting to domestic journals is a bit more troublesome.

Because Pang Xuelin didn't know the specific addresses of these journals at all.

Even if I remember the address of my previous life, but in the next few decades, China will change so much, God knows if these addresses have been changed.

After thinking about it, Pang Xuelin decided to go to Lincheng University to see if he could ask for help.

Although Forest City University has entered the 211 project construction list in later generations, because it is located in the west, it has limited attraction to talents, and the overall strength of the school is not strong.

Pang Xuelin spent a long time in Lincheng University before he got the location of the teaching building of the Department of Mathematics from a student.

After entering the teaching building, just when the class bell rang, Pang Xuelin saw a large group of students pouring into a lecture hall, and Pang Xuelin quickly followed him in, and then sat down at a random place.

This section is a big class, composed of several classes of students, more than a hundred people, no one knows anyone, except for the occasional students who glance at him because of Pang Xuelin's clothes, no one pays attention to him.

At this time, a middle-aged man with glasses and a little bald head came in and said, "Today is the last class of functional analysis this semester. After this class, there will be an exam. Today we will review functional analysis." Analyze some important and difficult knowledge points, and focus on explaining some topics based on these knowledge points, I hope everyone can listen carefully."

There was a sudden commotion in the classroom, and the students took out pens and papers to record.

Real variable functional science ten times, functional analysis heart chills.

This is not a casual statement.

As the basic courses to enter the gate of modern mathematics, these two courses are basically like heavenly scriptures for many mathematics students.
