It took half a day to sort out the contents of the manuscript on A4 paper, and it took Lu Zhou another two and a half days to enter it into the computer, complete the rest of the paper, and translate it into English against a dictionary.

After a total of four days, Lu Zhou finally turned the drawings in his mind into a paper and converted it into PDF format for preservation.

The next step is to submit.

Thousands of choices, Lu Zhou's final choice of journal was the Mathematical Chronicle.

The journal was founded by Princeton University and published by the Johns Hopkins University Press Journals Department in the nineties. It mainly publishes theoretical mathematics research papers, covering a wide range of topics, and has a pivotal position in the academic circle, and the impact factor is also considerable.

In fact, Lu Zhou originally had a better choice, such as the "Journal of Number Theory", which specializes in publishing papers on number theory, which has a higher authority in the field of number theory, but the impact factor is slightly lower, and a lot of page fees are charged.

"The Yankees are really slamming," Lu Zhou shook his head, uploaded the paper to the submission website of the "Mathematical Chronicle", and then left his email address.

I just don't know if this reward task has the function of cutting the queue for review, but I hope it doesn't drag his manuscript too long.

……

The prize money for the Mathematical Modeling Competition has finally been issued, and a total of 15,000 has been received. Among them, 10,000 yuan was awarded to Lu Zhou by the school alone, and 5,000 yuan was the original 10,000 yuan bonus, which was split in half with Wang Xiaodong.

As for Lin Yuxiang, she was surprised by Lu Zhou, and took the initiative to give up the bonus.

Even if Wang Xiaodong insisted on giving her half of her share of the bonus, she refused with a smile.

I don't know what this woman thinks again......

The first thing after the team was disbanded, Lu Zhou blocked her circle of friends.

The matter of the competition was put aside first, and after getting the bonus, Lu Zhou, who was bleeding heavily to settle down for the artificial intelligence eye, finally got some blood back.

As agreed, he invited his three roommates to have a meal at the restaurant in front of the school.

The three animals were not polite to him, and as soon as they came up, they asked the boss for half a beer, and then ordered a plate of grilled fish and three or five side dishes.

As soon as the dish was served, Shi Shang, the head of the dormitory, opened a bottle first, poured it for the brothers of 201 in turn, and then picked up the cup and looked at Lu Zhou.

"Elbow, let's salted fish together, and you will take off first. If you still remember this meal, it means that you haven't forgotten us, so I'll toast you first. ”

"It's just a meal, and you don't invite me less, and it's too uncommon to say such things." Lu Zhou smiled and touched Shi Shang's glass, and took a dry sip.

Huang Guangming also raised his glass: "Elbow, I also toast you, there is no other reason, I just want to be happy." ”

"You're welcome, you're welcome, just take it." Lu Zhou also stretched out his hand, touched the cup with Huang Guangming, and took a dry sip.

Liu Rui also raised his glass: "Congratulations ......"

"Thank you!" Lu Zhou said sincerely.

No matter what complicated feelings Liu Rui has when he says this "congratulations", everyone in the dormitory, whether they appear to be brothers or not.

Lu Zhou clinked a glass with him and drank it all.

After three rounds of drinking, half of the dishes were eaten, and a glass of beer was in his stomach, Shi Shang suddenly sighed.

"Elbows."

"What's the matter?"

"I've been thinking about a question lately."

"Just ask, you're welcome."

"What is it like to be a top student?" Shi Shang sighed softly, staring at the wine in the cup a little distracted, "The grade points break through the sky, there is no pressure on the research institute, and the scholarship is soft...... What else? ”

Maybe it's because I read some books that shouldn't be read in the library and drank some chicken soup that shouldn't be drunk, and Fei Ge has become a little young again recently, always thinking about some philosophies in life. Brother Guangming kept saying that he would take him to the psychological counseling room next to the school doctor to have a look, but in the end he didn't see it.

However, the question asked by Fei Ge this time was to the point.

The two animals next to them pretended to eat vegetables, but their ears were upright to listen. Especially Liu Rui, this kid, even stopped chopsticks, didn't eat anymore, and waited for the big guy in the bedroom to teach him experience.

Dangling the plastic cup, Lu Zhou burped.

He was toasted in turn, his face was slightly ruddy, and he was also a little drunk, coughed, and said slowly: "...... Do you think it's fun to be a top student? ”

“…… I know, you're not happy, are you, you're tired. Shi Shang sighed.

"No," Lu Zhou shook his head, "I mean...... It's really fun to be a top student. You can't imagine the joy of being a top student. ”

Shi Shang: ???

Huang Guangming: ???

Liu Rui: ???

……

Back in the dormitory, it was already seven o'clock in the evening.

Liu Rui, the kid, was carried back again, and he was unconscious when he was placed on the mat. Shi Shang's amount of alcohol is good, obviously he drank six or seven bottles, and like a person who is fine, the squad leader came over with a phone call, and went out with a basketball in his arms.

Good guys, can you still play basketball after drinking so much, can you shoot it?

Drunken balls?

This time, it was Huang Guangming who ran to the toilet with Liu Rui, and Lu Zhou, who climbed the ladder, didn't care, turned on the computer, and logged on to the website of "Mathematical Chronicle".

There is no surprise, the status of the manuscript has changed to [Under-Review].

It seems that his guess was correct.

Not only ordinary tasks, but also reward tasks, the system will help him save those unnecessary wasted time within the scope of the rules. How's that done...... Lu Zhou decided not to think about it for the time being.

Thinking of a headache!

Log in to the mailbox, check the email, and the authorization document has been sent.

Lu Zhou filled out the authorization documents as required and then uploaded them to the website.

This is followed by a lengthy peer review process, waiting for an academic editor to free up his hands to verify that his proof process is correct. Unlike the previous papers, this kind of paper that involves important conjecture proofs tends to have a longer review cycle.

Academic editors with relatively average qualifications will be extra careful when reviewing and not letting go of any possible problems. Because once a false proof process is published, it is not just an April Fool's joke, but a serious damage to the academic reputation of one's own newspaper.

Of course, it is not excluded that the manuscript was sent to the hands of a certain big man in the mathematical field, and the big man finished reviewing it in less than a day with his free hands. This probability is still there, but it is so small that it is almost negligible.

Back in the dormitory, Lu Zhou routinely opened his notebook, chatted with his artificially handicapped Xiao Ai, and then routinely checked the BUG files submitted by the users of the campus train APP.

Looking at the number of users in that pool of stagnant water, Lu Zhou no longer felt it in his heart.

Pretending not to see the messages asking for papers, as always, no bug reports or bug feedback were submitted.

Excellent.

It seems that there is no need to update again.

After closing the developer background, Lu Zhou logged on to the official website of the school's Academic Affairs Office, and was about to look at the next week's class schedule, when he suddenly found that a lecture message was published at the top of the bulletin board on the homepage.

"Tomorrow at 9:00 in the lecture hall of the new campus, an academic lecture entitled 'Twin Prime Conjecture' will be held......"

Seeing the words twin prime conjecture, Lu Zhou suddenly remembered the moment of inspiration that occurred when he was studying Zhou's conjecture proof in the library a few days ago.

These days he's been so busy with submissions that he's forgotten what he's found at the time.

Now that I think about it, I'm a little concerned.

“…… Anyway, there will be no class tomorrow morning, so I will go to this lecture and have 1 practical credit to take. Lu Zhou thought in his heart, entered the student number and password, and logged in to the Academic Affairs Office to register.

Keynote speaker: Ren Changming...... Where do you seem to have seen this name? Lu Zhou stared at the name for a long time, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

On a math textbook?

Or where do you see the big guys in the math world?

Forget it, don't care about these inconsequential things.

Lu Zhou shook his head, threw the bath towel on his shoulder, picked up the plastic basin for clothes, and walked to the bathroom.
