arXiv is the world's largest research sharing platform in the fields of physics, mathematics and computer science. The number of high-quality papers on it exceeds 2 million, and the number uploaded by civil scientists is even greater. The number of daily active users is about 3 million.

, almost all are teachers, professors and other scholars and researchers from all over the world, as well as college students, graduate students and doctoral students.

It is managed daily by four full-time staff, more than 190 volunteer moderators and automated systems, processing more than 1,200 uploaded papers every day.

Generally speaking, most papers will be initially reviewed by an automated system with a certain amount of artificial intelligence. If there are no obvious malicious content or sensitive words or special cases such as high review severity, they will be reviewed and automatically classified and displayed in the corresponding section.

.

However, papers uploaded by accounts of some well-known scholars and scientific researchers are basically reviewed manually, and homepage recommendations, automatic matching recommendations, etc. are made based on their value to expand their popularity.

When Qin Ke's account first uploaded the paper "Proof of the Twin Prime Conjecture", it was naturally a purely new account, without any promotion, and the amount of attention was regrettably small.

But when he became famous internationally and published blockbuster papers in top international mathematics journals, his "" account was set as a "key focus" account by arXiv staff, so the last time Qin Ke uploaded

Only when a paper proves Polignac's conjecture will it quickly arouse responses and be hotly discussed by users.

After Qin Ke successively won the Mathematics Breakthrough Award, the Cole Number Theory Award, and uploaded the paper "The First Three Groups of Expressions to Crack the Mystery of the Riemann Hypothesis", Qin Ke's account has been promoted to the "top priority attention" category.

This time, less than a minute after Qin Ke uploaded the paper "Proof Process of Hail Conjecture", Rogelio, who was on duty in the background, noticed the priority review prompt message proposed by the system.

Rogelio was a little surprised. When he saw clearly the uploader and title of the paper, he immediately sat up straight.

"Oh my God, the Hailstorm Conjecture? Has the Miracle Boy of Xia Kingdom proven this mathematical problem?"

Although papers with similar titles are uploaded to arXiv from time to time, Rogelio has become numb to the number of them and has no interest in opening them. But this paper was uploaded by Qin Ke from Xia Guo, so its significance and value are

Completely different.

Rogelio chewed the chocolate in his mouth and swallowed it, then opened the paper and read it carefully.

Rogelio is a graduate student in mathematics at MIT, but he can't quite understand this paper. Of course, this does not prevent him from judging the value of this paper.

"Amazing. He is indeed a miracle boy. His skills are probably not inferior to any of the math professors in our school."

Rogelio sighed as he clicked the "Pass review" button.

arXiv is not responsible for the accuracy of the content because they are not a journal. They are only responsible for ensuring that the duplication check rate of the content meets the requirements, that the content matches the title, and that no sensitive content is involved.

But they also have the right and obligation to promote and help outstanding authors improve the influence of their papers.

Roglio then clicked on "Home Page Recommendation (Heavy Recommendation)" and "Automatic Matching Recommendation" respectively.

The former will make this paper appear in the most conspicuous position on the homepage, and the latter will automatically remind all users who have set the interest tag as "additive number theory" that there are excellent papers in number theory uploaded, come and take a look.

…

Professor Tao from the University of California is also a heavy user of arXiv. He goes up every day to see if there are any new papers.

He has a wide range of interests in mathematics, and reading a large number of new papers in various sub-fields is the secret to maintaining his keen sense of mathematics.

Today was no exception. He made a cup of coffee and opened the arXiv page while enjoying the sweetness of his taste buds.

"Huh? Are there new essay prompts and new recommendations?"

As soon as he logged into the website, he received two system prompt messages in his private mailbox. Professor Tao clicked on it and saw one: "The user you follow has uploaded a new paper."

Another one is: "You should be very interested in this excellent "Number Theory Direction" paper."

Qin Ke uploaded a new paper?

Professor Tao was surprised and happy. He was very interested in this new friend he made three or four months ago. Although they only got along for a few days, Qin Ke left a very good impression on him. The two had similar personalities and were both good friends.

He truly loves mathematics from the bottom of his heart. When it comes to the breadth of his knowledge, Qin Ke is even better than him. There is no other person in the world who can be such a close friend.

In the past three or four months, Professor Tao has also maintained email contact with Qin Ke. He had heard Qin Ke mention the progress of the hail conjecture before. At this time, a thought flashed in Professor Tao's mind - could it be that the hail conjecture was proved?

Already?

Professor Tao quickly clicked twice and found that the two system messages pointed to the same paper.

"Proof Process of the Hail Conjecture"? My God, Qin Ke really proved it!" Professor Tao quickly put the coffee on the table, opened the paper and took a closer look.

He read slowly, as if savoring the most delicious dish in the world. He was reluctant to finish it in one bite, and just wanted to slowly savor the argumentation process of each page.

As a result, he watched from early evening until late into the night, and he even forgot to eat dinner.

After reading the entire paper from beginning to end, Professor Tao breathed a sigh of relief with satisfaction.

"A very excellent paper, rigorous and creative, without any flaws! It is a very vivid application of the lime number theory hypergeometric mapping method. It's a pleasure, a pleasure!"

Beautiful writing is like fine wine. Professor Tao felt this way every time he read Qin Ke’s mathematics paper.

He picked up the already frozen coffee and took a sip. When his phone kept flashing, he realized that it was a message from his wife urging him to go home.

Looking at the time, it was already eleven o'clock in the night. He had been reading this paper for six hours!

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Professor Tao hurriedly replied to his wife with a message, but did not rush to pack his things and go home. Now his heart was boiling with passion, and he had an unpleasant urge to vomit.

He opened his mailbox and wrote: "Qin Ke, Ning Qingyun, I have read your hail conjecture proof paper on arXiv, and I can only say one thing, absolutely-wonderful! This is the best thing I have seen in the past three months.

The paper is comparable to the last uploaded "The First Three Groups of Expressions to Crack the Riemann Hypothesis"! Oh, by the way, I forgot to congratulate you. This peak that has been blocked in the history of human mathematics for decades and that no one can successfully climb,

You have stepped under your feet! The lime number theory hypergeometric mapping method is indeed a first-class mathematical method!"

After sending emails to Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun, Professor Tao still felt that it was not enough, so he opened his social account again and sent a new message:

"Highly recommended, my good friends Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun have uploaded the proof process of the hail conjecture on arXiv. They have done great things that I cannot do! Congratulations to them! Friends who like mathematics, go and

Read it, you will definitely not be disappointed! When this paper is published, I will definitely read it again carefully! Oh, I forgot to ask them, I wonder which journal this paper was submitted to? "

Professor Tao is keen on surfing the Internet, expressing his own opinions, and inspiring writings, so he has many fans on the Internet. Moreover, Professor Tao seems to be humble at ordinary times, but in fact he has the arrogance of a scholar, especially in mathematics, and rarely

Seeing that he admired other people's papers so much, the message he posted on social software quickly aroused a huge response.

As the news spread, more and more mathematicians noticed the existence of this paper. Countless netizens who loved mathematics followed the link shared by Professor Tao and flocked to arXiv. The number of comments under the paper increased at a crazy speed.

[Amzing! I actually only understood one-third of it! As expected of the winner of the Cole Prize for Number Theory! As expected of Professor Tao’s good friend, equally inscrutable!]

[I have also studied the hail conjecture, but I have no clue. I always thought that it was like a rumor. No one could crack it in two hundred years. I didn’t expect to see the proof process so soon. I can only sigh, Xia Guo Mathematician

,ox!】

[I decided to forward it to our tutor. His hobby is studying the hail conjecture. I hope this paper will make him feel excited despite being disappointed. ]

[Xia Guo’s Miracle Boy is really amazing! I look forward to him achieving results on the world-class problem of Navier-Stokes equations.]

[I really can’t believe that this is a paper written by two young students who have not yet reached their 20th anniversary. There are really super geniuses in the world!]

In just a few hours, the number of comments on the paper exceeded 5,000, and the number of followers on Qin Ke’s account exceeded 300,000, making it the account with the most followers on the entire arXiv. The traffic on the arXiv website also doubled.

Double.

…

Qin Ke did not go to the study room to study today. Instead, he was fighting with his classmates in the dormitory.

He consumed a lot of energy. Although he didn't faint from exhaustion directly, the sequelae of the "inspiration increase" were quite obvious. For at least two or three days, he had a feeling of brain swelling due to overuse of his brain. Even practicing the Eastern Secret Code was difficult.

It cannot be easily relieved.

So Qin Keji simply put down the "Goldbach Conjecture" that he originally planned to start, relaxed his spirit, went to the basketball court to play basketball, chatted with his classmates, and played cards and games.

As for the organization and submission of the paper, Ning Qingyun took over all of it. In her words, you have completed the core work, leave the next little things to me.

Qin Ke is also very happy. Now Ning Qingyun is by no means inferior to him in writing papers, and with the help of LV3's artificial intelligence, English grammatical errors can be completely avoided.

This paper proving the hail conjecture was submitted to Ematica.

The reason for choosing "Acta Mathematica" is relatively simple. "Annals of Mathematics" has published five papers by the two of them this year. If they submit papers, it will really become a special issue for him and Ning Qingjun. "New Advances in Mathematics" has also been submitted.

Once upon a time, the American Journal of Mathematics published the weak Polignac conjecture at a critical period, which made Qin Ke uncomfortable and unwilling to submit the article.

The "Acta Mathematica" is also one of the world's top mathematics academic journals with the highest impact factor. It has a history of more than 100 years and is published by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. Qin Ke wrote three articles on the Riemann Hypothesis in his senior year of high school.

Papers, one of which is submitted here.

The editor-in-chief, Rofshan Oliver, met several times and was very friendly and enthusiastic. He asked Qin Ke and Qin Ke for manuscripts several times. It was reasonable and reasonable for Qin Ke to support them, so "Acta Mathematica Sinica" became the current publication.

best choice.

In the past two or three days, Qin Ke's cell phone has not stopped. Various WeChat messages and phone calls have been pouring in, almost all asking him whether the hailstorm conjecture is true.

Among them are Uncle Chen, Uncle Yang, teachers Academician Wang Heng, Professor Shi Cunyuan, Professor Lin Haibo, grandpa Shen Tieshan, etc., as well as Elon Lindenstrauss and Faltings from across the ocean.

gentlemen.

After finally coping with it, Qin Ke just put down his cell phone and was about to continue playing cards with his roommates, when his cell phone rang again.

Qin Ke had no choice but to hand the cards to Li Xiangxue and asked him to take his place while he went to the side to answer the phone.

But this time the caller ID cheered up Qin Ke. It was actually Wei Xueming, the head of the Lime Plant Cultivation Laboratory.

Wei Xueming did bring good news. The sweet potato seeds that Qin Ke was most concerned about had basically been collected and stored in the laboratory. Wei Xueming asked Qin Ke what his next plan was.

When Qin Ke heard the news, he couldn't hold it in anymore. He called Ning Qingyun directly, got into assistant Fang Yongtang's car, and went straight to the plant breeding laboratory overnight.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The topic of desert sweet potatoes is the most important topic that Qin Ke has been thinking about, even above Goldbach's conjecture.

As far as he knows, deserts account for 20% of the earth's land surface, and 43% of the land is facing the threat of desertification. It is urgent to prevent and control desertification. Two-thirds of the desert area is semi-arid areas.

, it is not completely desertified and can grow cacti, tamarisk, sea buckthorn, Populus euphratica and other sand- and drought-tolerant plants.

If desert sweet potatoes can be cultivated successfully, then these areas can become green. Not only will they have the value of economic crops, but more importantly, they will improve soil quality and prevent the expansion of desertification, which is of vital significance to Xia Kingdom and even the world.
