Chapter 116: Chapter 116: I’m Broke, but My Husband Has Money
When he saw the second author was Howard Thorne from Zenthia, he wasn’t pleased. Still, out of respect for their professional connection, he patiently read on.
The further he read, the more shocked he became.
This... this... this...
This first author, Chloe Sinclair, was an absolute Genius.
Gilbert tried to follow Chloe Sinclair’s reasoning and work through the calculations, but by the next day, he had managed less than a page.
The reasoning behind the proof for the Hodge Conjecture was just too complex.
Moreover, some of the formulas had never been seen before.
Although Chloe Sinclair had derived these formulas herself, Gilbert still needed to verify them several times.
Finally, on the evening of the second day, Professor Gilbert wiped his fogged-up glasses and called his colleagues at the *Mathematics Annual Journal*.
"My friends, I’ve sent you a paper. You absolutely have to read it. The talent coming out of Zenthia these days will make your jaws drop!"
As fellow editors for the *Mathematics Annual Journal*, they were all professors from various prestigious universities.
Among them were two former Fields Medal recipients.
The professors were quite shocked that the famously impartial Gilbert would personally call them over a single paper.
They took one look at the paper Professor Gilbert had sent them and were immediately captivated.
After studying the paper for a day, the world-class professors declared: "Unless the Earth explodes, don’t let anyone disturb us!"
As they spoke, faint smiles touched their lips, and their eyes shone with brilliance.
But later, the professors’ expressions grew increasingly grim.
Because they couldn’t understand the methods used in the proof!
What good was the proof if they still couldn’t understand it?
With no other choice, they had to call Howard Thorne, who was all the way in Zenthia, for clarification.
Thanks to Chloe Sinclair, Howard Thorne had already mastered the entire paper, so his discussion with the professors went off without a hitch, and the conversation flowed smoothly.
A week later, they had finally unraveled the entire paper.
Gilbert’s eyes were wide with astonishment. "Oh! I wonder, would your student be interested in studying at Princeton? Our university would provide her with our very best resources."
Hearing this, Howard Thorne gave a wry smile over the phone and explained, "She’s not my student. Besides, her true passion isn’t mathematics, it’s Physics."
The other professors exclaimed, "What!"
Upon hearing this, Professor Gilbert burst into tears right then and there on the phone.
Although Howard Thorne was fluent in English, he genuinely couldn’t understand a word Gilbert was saying.
So he just hung up.
——
Things were going much more smoothly for Landon Sinclair than they had for Howard Thorne.
He was well-connected both at home and abroad, and he also had a great relationship with the editor-in-chief of *Science*.
The editor-in-chief quickly pushed it through the initial review.
Chloe Sinclair breathed a sigh of relief, overjoyed.
*Science* and the *Mathematics Annual Journal* were both world-class journals.
Publishing a single paper in either of these journals was enough to establish oneself as an expert with a high level of achievement in their field.
However, no one would believe that a high school student, barely an adult, would soon be published in two different fields in these world-class journals.
’Was it just her imagination?’
Chloe Sinclair had a feeling she was destined to become a magnet for trending topics.
But for now, she was just an ordinary, unremarkable high school student.
At this point, she was no longer grinding through practice questions for the college entrance exams.
She knew she could handle the college entrance exams. The critical issue now was that she needed a laboratory. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
And the little money she had was nowhere near enough.
So, it was time to find an investor.
