Chen Licheng was out of danger until the next morning, but he was still unconscious. According to the doctor, it would take two days to wake up.

Thank God, because he was sent to the hospital in time, there were basically no sequelae.

Gu Bojun, Vice President of Qingmu University, and Wei Yuanfu, Chairman of the Department of Mathematics, breathed a long sigh of relief after hearing what the doctor said.

Gu Bojun said with gratitude on his face: "Thank you so much to Dr. Yang. Please take good care of the patient here at the hospital. Our school will be responsible for all expenses."

Dr. Yang glanced at the young boys and girls sitting on the bench in the corridor leaning against each other, waved his hands gently and said: "If you want to thank me, just thank Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun. I have heard about it. If they hadn't happened to pass by...

If the patient is treated in time, if the patient is frozen for another five minutes or is sent to the hospital ten minutes late, the consequences will be disastrous. The possibility of being rescued will be reduced to 10%, and even if he can be rescued, he will become a paralyzed vegetative state. It can be said that this

Two children saved a living life."

Speaking of this, he sighed: "As expected of Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun, their character is better than what is said on the Internet. When Qin Ke sent the patient to the hospital, he took off all his fur coats and scarves.

It was draped on the doctor. If he hadn't been very strong, he would have been frostbitten."

Gu Bojun and Wei Yuanfu both nodded with contentment.

This incident was so sudden that no one expected that Chen Licheng would be so aloof and aloof, and would rather die than bear the stigma.

Chen Licheng is quite famous in China. If he is really forced to freeze to death in the ice and snow, the school will be extremely passive, and the school leaders will be inundated with accusations from all sides. As far as the two of them are concerned, they will be together for the rest of their lives.

A troubled conscience.

Not to mention Qin Ke, who has always been the darling of the media. This time he sacrificed himself to save others but nothing happened, which made the two of them very happy, otherwise the consequences would be more serious.

The current result is a blessing among misfortunes for the school.

After thanking the doctor again and again, Gu Bojun and Wei Yuanfu left the ward and came to Qin Ke's side.

Qin Ke and the two had been staying in the hospital. Ning Qingyun, who was more delicate, couldn't bear it. Half an hour ago, she heard that Chen Licheng was out of danger. She relaxed and quickly put her pillow on Qin Ke's shoulder.

I fell asleep, with the blanket sent from the hospital wrapped around me.

Qin Ke is in good spirits, but his eyes are a little red.

Because he woke up Ning Qingyun, he did not dare to get up easily, so he asked in a low voice: "Principal Gu, Director Wei, and Senior Chen have settled in the ward? What did the doctor say?"

Gu Bojun looked at Qin Ke with a somewhat complicated look: "Don't worry, he is fine, he just needs to rest for a while. Thank you so much to you and Ning Qingjun this time. Next time..." He wanted to say that you should not be so impulsive next time.

He had to protect himself, but after seeing Qin Ke's expression and thinking of the child's character, he finally swallowed his words.

Qin Ke shook his head, not wanting to talk about it, and said softly: "Principal Gu, Qingjun and I are going to investigate this matter. I hope the school will not rush to make a final decision and give us some time."

He looked at Wei Yuanfu again: "We also hope that Director Wei will cooperate with us and give us access to evidence witnesses."

Wei Yuanfu gritted his teeth and turned to Gu Bojun: "Principal Gu, I invited Chen Licheng back from MIT. I also know his character. He will never commit academic misconduct. I also beg the school to

Withstand the pressure from the outside world and investigate this matter thoroughly! If it is finally confirmed that Chen Licheng has indeed committed academic misconduct, I am willing to take the blame and resign as the head of the Department of Mathematics!"

He has always been more tactful in his conduct and deeds, and believes in being wise and protecting oneself. This time, he was really touched by the behavior of Qin Ke and Chen Licheng, and it was the first time he did such an impulsive thing.

Gu Bojun patted him on the shoulder: "I will decide this matter and I will be responsible."

He stared at Qin Ke with burning eyes: "You two students should not have intervened in this thesis incident, but the school is really helpless and has not found any breakthrough to prove Chen Licheng's innocence. Since you want to try

Next, I can also give you a chance. But I want to tell you in advance that the person who is holding on to this matter is Zhang Chi from the School of Mathematics of Yanda. This person is one of the leaders of the Department of Mathematics at Yanda, and has a lot of connections in the mathematics world.

Deep, if you offend him, you and Ning Qingyun will be in a difficult position in the mathematics world. Have you decided to intervene in this matter? "

Qin Ke did not hesitate: "Follow it to the end!"

"Okay! Young people must have this drive and enterprising spirit!" Gu Bojun's eyes showed a touch of pride and admiration: "I will try my best to get two more days for this in the round table meeting in the afternoon. Before that, I will give you everything.

I have the authority to thoroughly investigate this matter. If you want people to give people and money to give money, Director Wei will fully cooperate with you. You can go ahead and do it. I will shoulder all the responsibilities and consequences! I have only one request. You must protect yourselves.

, don’t act recklessly, be sure to inform me of any progress or decisions as soon as possible.”

Qin Ke had checked the Internet in the past half hour. Professor Zhang Chi of Yanda University was aggressive and set off a great momentum of denunciation on the Internet. The pressure on the school was very high. Vice President Gu Bojun could make such a promise, but he was also burdened with responsibility.

carries great risks and pressure.

Qin Ke held Principal Gu's hand firmly and said solemnly: "Don't worry, this time is about the honor of Senior Chen and his alma mater. Ning Qingyun and I will never let you down!"

…

It was getting slightly brighter, so Qin Ke took Ning Qingyun, who had just woken up, in Wei Yuanfu's car back to school.

While driving, Wei Yuanfu called someone to prepare breakfast, and asked: "Do you want to rest for half a day first?"

Qin Ke shook his head: "There are only two days, and we will not rest until we find out this matter."

"Okay, how do you need me to cooperate with you?"

"We want to get the full text of the papers of Senior Chen and Professor Zhang Chi. There must be no mistakes or omissions in any punctuation mark."

"That's no problem. I have it on hand. Come to my office later and I have copies of all the evidence."

"We also want all the papers published by Mr. Chen and all the papers published by Professor Zhang Chi. We want to analyze the differences in the styles of the two people's papers. Each person's style of writing papers and mathematical thinking are different, even if there are any big differences.

The changes can be traced according to the order in which the papers were published, and it is unlikely that there will be a big sudden change."

Wei Yuanfu was startled. This was indeed a good method, but it was too difficult. He hesitated and said: "Chen Licheng has published only seven or eight papers, so it is not difficult to find them all, but Professor Zhang Chi has published dozens of papers. It is not difficult to find them all."

It’s too easy to find them all in a short time, and even if you find them all..."

He didn't go on, but the meaning was obvious. Time is limited. There are only two days. Even if all dozens of papers are found, can you two understand it? What can you analyze?

"It's best to find them all within today. Give us as much as you can find, okay?"

"No problem, I'll make arrangements right away." Wei Yuanfu made more than a dozen calls in a row, waking up a group of administrative teachers, young professors, and lecturers from their warm beds to make work arrangements.

Qin Ke could see that Wei Yuanfu was really trying his best to help, and he couldn't help but said gratefully: "Thank you, Director Wei, we also need to get Senior Chen's computer."

"No problem. Chen Licheng's laptop is also in my office. It originally had a password. He had written it down when he cooperated with the review. I will give it to you later."

"Has anyone touched Mr. Chen's laptop?"

"Only Professor Cui and Professor Wu from the Department of Computer Science, who assisted in reviewing the matter, had contact with it, and there were people filming the entire operation, so there was no possibility of manipulation."

Qin Ke nodded silently and asked: "What operating system is installed on Senior Chen's laptop?"

"It should be Lime OS."

Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun looked at each other and became more confident.

When it comes to familiarity with the Lime operating system, who in the world can match these two?

…

After returning to the dormitory, they hurriedly took a hot shower, washed themselves, and put on clean clothes. Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun came to the mathematics department. This time, in order to gain time, both of them did not care about the students in the school.

The rules for driving casually are over, so I just drove my new energy car in the wind and snow.

In the office of the director of the Department of Mathematics, the two of them finished the prepared breakfast. They first looked through the different testimonies of Chen Licheng, Su Yongfeng, and Zhang Chi. They probably had an impression of the details of the incident, and then took the two papers.

Make a copy and read it carefully.

"This is a paper about topological cyclic homology?" Ning Qingyun said in surprise.

The topological cyclic homology method was first proposed by the Philippine Prize winner Conis more than thirty years ago. After research and development by more than a dozen well-known foreign mathematicians, it plays an important role in the study of number fields, local fields, and the above algebraic varieties.

It has become the preferred calculation tool for algebraic K theory.

It's just that there aren't many domestic studies on topological cyclic homology. Ning Qingyun was under the guidance of his mentor, Professor Tian Jianlan, and had some impressions of it when he read through a large amount of foreign literature, and he didn't know much about it.

Qin Ke, who has master-level mathematical knowledge provided by the system, has an extremely in-depth understanding of topological cyclic homology. The paper mainly discusses the structure of motivationic filters on topological cyclic homology, and also proposes a method called "sinking transformation"

The new method can effectively explain the color spread phenomenon in algebraic K theory, and greatly deepens the study of topological cyclic homology. It is indeed a rare and excellent paper. No wonder it is also included in "Xia Guo Applied Mathematics and Communications"

It was selected and published at the same time as "Xia Guo Mathematics Practice", two domestic core journals.

However, Chen Licheng's paper is indeed very similar to Zhang Chi's paper. The first 90% of the content is almost identical, but there are subtle differences in the final explanation of the color expansion phenomenon using "sinking transformation".

These differences are typical results of different mathematical thinking.

Ning Qingyun closed the paper and said softly: "Professor Chen once said that he had completed 90% of the paper at that time, but had to interrupt the research because he had to go home for a funeral. Judging from the differences between the two papers,

It is true that there are subtle differences at about 90% of the positions. Could it be that the paper was stolen when Professor Chen left?"

"This possibility is relatively high." Qin Ke read it twice, "The biggest difficulty and highlight of this paper is this 'sinking method', which greatly optimizes the structure of motivationic filters on topological cyclic homology, and also

Make reasonable arguments and explanations for the phenomenon of color development. This part is almost concentrated in the first 90% of the content. It can be said that with the first 90% of the content, this paper is complete. The derivation process in the last dozen lines,

It’s just natural.”

He pointed to the argumentation process of the paper and said: "On the contrary, Mr. Chen did a better job in this aspect. Jun'er, look at these three calculation formulas, they are more concise and consistent with the previous derivation, and the one named Zhang has two more calculation formulas

, although there are also no problems, but it has the stability that middle-aged and elderly mathematicians are accustomed to."

Wei Yuanfu, who had been accompanying the two of them, simply didn't know how to express his inner shock. Can such a style problem be seen in just two or three lines of calculations?

He also studied the similarities and differences between the two at that time, but he didn't pay attention to these details at all!

While Wei Yuanfu was shocked, he also had hope: "You said that this paper should be Chen Licheng's, but Zhang Chi plagiarized Chen Licheng's paper?"

"Preliminary judgment, this is more likely." Qin Ke reached out and took out two stacks of papers. These were papers published by Chen Licheng and Zhang Chi over the years, and even Chen Licheng's graduation thesis was among them.

Wei Yuanfu felt a little dizzy when he looked at the thick stack of papers. Even though he was also a senior mathematics professor, he thought it would take about a week to read through so many papers.

But Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun each took part of it and started looking at it.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Ning Qingyun flipped through the pages relatively quickly, but it was normal, but Qin Ke’s speed was incredibly fast. He almost read ten lines at a glance, and he read the entire page in about five minutes.
