Chapter 214: Reversal!
Not only that, his approach is problematic. The paper was rejected by the "Technology" Magazine publisher, and then he directly bought the "Technology" Magazine—forcing his paper to be published. This kind of action leaves people dumbfounded, utterly unbelievable; yet some find it absolutely impressive, responding with nothing more than exclamations of '6666' to express their amazement.
However, in reality, for those in the industry, the status of "Technology" Magazine is not so simple. To acquire the technology magazine in such a manner and publish such a paper is inherently an act of desecration, an extremely inappropriate behavior!
It's very easy to evoke disgust!
In fact, many people are very dissatisfied with Jiang Cheng's approach.
And they expressed their views—strongly opposing Jiang Cheng's actions, although these actions seemed to have little effect, they still invisibly affect Jiang Cheng's reputation.
The uproar caused by Jiang Cheng's approach undoubtedly made headlines.
Of course, only those who focus on this area would immediately comprehend—many simply do not care about these matters or understand what is happening.
Jiang Cheng's paper quickly stirred up more and more controversy and caught the attention of more and more industry leaders.
Huaxia.
The professors of the National Technology Research Institute were summoned by the Dean at this time.
"Why are we suddenly called here?" asked a professor who was forcibly awakened from sleep, naturally feeling somewhat unhappy. His identity and status, even with the Dean, demand a proper reason; otherwise, there's no need to show face.
"What's the matter? Why did you suddenly call all us old timers here?" Another person asked curiously.
"What happened?"
"Is something happening?"
"Ladies and gentlemen, you really should care about certain affairs; currently, that issue is causing quite a stir internationally. Haven't you paid any attention? Focusing on your own projects is an admirable spirit, but sometimes you must pay attention to other affairs." A middle-aged man in a suit shook his head helplessly and said, "I fear the Dean calling us over is related to that matter!"
"That matter?"
"What is that matter about?"
"Did something happen internationally?"
"What is happening exactly?"
Despite the words of the middle-aged man in a suit, many professors still looked baffled, completely unaware of why they were all gathered here.
In fact, it's not their fault—each of them had crucial research projects and were engrossed in relentless study. Under such circumstances, time was simply insufficient, leaving them no mood to pay attention to other affairs.
Thus, Jiang Cheng's paper and the subsequent uproar were completely unknown to these senior professors.
The dean coughed and began to speak: "The matter…is like this."
Then, the Dean briefly explained the situation and distributed Jiang Cheng's paper to each professor present.
"Jiang Cheng? The same Jiang Cheng who invented the Virtual Reality Device? He's quite an impressive genius!"
"Yes, I agree with Old Wang. Frankly, I still don't understand the principles behind the Virtual Reality Device. The mental link device has been one of my topics, but I haven't had any insights—after so many years of research, progress has been dismal, always zero. Yet unfathomably, a young man researched it and marketed it and now it's widespread!" a professor remarked.
These professors have quite a favorable impression of Jiang Cheng, the young super genius.
"Indeed, that Jiang Cheng truly is a genius, certainly equal if not superior to us old timers. Such a person's paper must be extraordinary!"
"But surely it's a controversial paper, or it wouldn't have caused such a huge stir!"
The professors began to examine Jiang Cheng's paper carefully.
As they delved into the content, after reading the entire paper, the professors who were initially composed couldn't help but frown deeply!
A professor with a volatile temper couldn't resist slamming the paper on the table: "What is this paper intending to express!!! It's complete nonsense! Rubbish!"
Indeed—the paper astonishingly negates all foundational rules of modern intelligent research! Why such a paper would be written is unfathomably whimsical and impractical!" another professor couldn't help but agree.
"I think anyone with some basic knowledge could see the absurdity in this paper! Is Jiang Cheng joking with us?" another professor couldn't help remarking.
"Is he seriously jesting with the world? Despite Jiang Cheng's considerable talents, he invented the Virtual Reality Device, which attests to his genius and capability. Reportedly, he recently won the Nobel Prize in Medicine for a research paper thoroughly curing liver cancer—such achievements are unimaginable. Thus, it's hard to fathom him writing such a fundamentally absurd paper." someone shook their head incomprehensibly.
"What's going on exactly?
"This paper is essentially gibberish." This is the shared view among the professors, which is indeed understandable—it's like the ancient geocentric theory, wherein Earth is the center of the universe, and the sun revolves around it.
And everyone standing on Earth could perceive the sun and stars and universe revolving around Earth! If someone suddenly proposed a theory stating that Earth revolves around the sun instead, such ideas would be instantly rejected!
These are two polar opposite concepts.
To acknowledge Jiang Cheng's paper is to completely negate their accumulated knowledge, and comprehensively deny a significant portion of their acquired understanding! It's daunting!
If this were in a novel and Jiang Cheng's paper were confirmed authentic, minds might explode from the swift rejection of such a theory!
The denial within this paper is incredibly strong!
