When Qiao Ze's words fell, several big guys glanced at each other, and from their point of view, they really didn't understand what Qiao Ze meant.

“…… Professor Xu's future work will be to help me sort out the concepts and examples related to supercoiled space algebra, and if you are interested, you can also participate in this work. ”

After a moment of silence, Lott Dugan, who knew José best, took the lead in asking, "First question, Joe, you don't plan to get involved in this work. ”

Qiao Ze shook his head, since the communication with Zhang Hongcai, he has become accustomed to the fact that the mathematics professor's ability to understand daily conversations is not very good.

However, in view of the courtesy that this big man has always given him, he still said more: "I have agreed with Professor Xu that I will hand over all the previous manuscripts on supercoiled space algebra to him." ”

"I still don't understand, what do you need to do?" Peter Schultz asked, spreading his hands.

"The issues raised by the Clay Institute have not been resolved." Qiao Ze replied frankly.

"I don't think anyone knows much better about supercoiled space algebra than you at this stage, as for the mathematical description of the mass gap hypothesis...... Of course, we'd all like to see this problem solved as soon as possible, but that's not at odds with the simultaneous development of new disciplines. ”

Edward Witten said seriously.

For a scholar who has published more than 350 books, Edward Witten's words are powerful.

The progress of many theories into academia depends on the continuous summarization and in-depth excavation of the conclusions that have been studied.

"That's you, I don't need it." Qiao Ze pointed to his head and said.

His original intention was that the part of supercoiled space algebra that is useful for solving problems is already in his mind, but the sentence with this action may obviously cause misunderstanding, and there is no Su Mucheng next to this exchange today.

So when he saw that the old man's face was not very good, Qiao Ze still kindly explained: "I pay more attention to efficiency." ”

"Haha, well, efficiency is important, but I still don't quite understand, so what do you want us to do when we join?" Lott Dugan opened his mouth and started a round.

Although it seems unlikely that José will be willing to go to Princeton for now, he still hopes that the relationship between the two sides can be maintained.

"There are relatively few people in our institute now, and it will be difficult for Professor Xu alone in the early stage. Much needs to be done to complete the theoretical foundation, understand its mathematical principles, properties, and applications, and require more examples for case studies, and to develop visualization tools to make it more accessible. ”

Qiao Ze replied with a blank look.

Lott Dugan continued to ask, "Okay, so what's in it for us?" ”

Qiao Ze replied, "Professor Emeritus for Life at the Xilin Institute of Mathematics. ”

The benefits are ......

Several people laughed.

Xu Changshu, who was sitting next to Qiao Ze, felt a little embarrassed at this moment.

"Well, that's not that appealing." Peter Schultz smiled and said.

Qiao Ze thought for a moment and said, "Then forget it." ”

"Forget it? What do you mean? ”

"Oh, that's it."

"Huh? I do not quite understand. ”

Qiao Ze glanced at Charles William, who had just spoken, and explained calmly: "The staff said that they would like to systematize this research before, and Professor Xu also said so, so I thought they were willing to do this work. I misjudged, I'm sorry. ”

"So...... What do you mean? Charles William asked with a frown.

I have to say that at this time, everyone in the room felt that it was a very tiring thing to have a non-academic exchange with Qiao Ze.

At the report meeting, when talking about the proof process, although Qiao Ze spoke briefly, he was at least able to explain all the concepts clearly, and even emphasized the key parts.

But at this moment, it seems that he feels tired to say a few more words, which makes it difficult for people to keep up with his train of thought.

It is said that in math class, I can't understand what I'm talking about at all.

José uses this traditional mathematical skill for everyday communication.

After listening to a word, I don't know what this guy is talking about.

Even if you listen to it all the time, it's hard to fully understand what this teenager means.

It's a pity that Xu Dajiang is not here at this moment, otherwise he would probably say: "This world needs Su Mucheng's emotion." ”

After all, in understanding Qiao Ze's meaning, Su Mucheng is really professional.

It's just that Su Mucheng can't play today, these professors speak a little vaguely, and they communicate in English, so the girl doesn't dare to interject rashly.

Qiao Ze glanced at Charles William in some surprise and replied, "Just give up on this." ”

"Give up? You're not going to develop supercoiled space algebra into a whole discipline anymore? Like calculus? Peter Schultz asked in surprise.

"Yes."

Qiao Ze nodded in reply, then stood up and began to see off the guests: "That's all for today, goodbye." ”

This is an extremely simple thing for Qiao Ze, everyone wants to dig deeper into this discipline, and he certainly doesn't mind pushing it.

However, the other party was not as interested as he thought, so he naturally gave up.

Everyone studies mathematics and physics, and they are equal in terms of personality, and if they can cooperate, they will cooperate, and if they can't, they will say goodbye.

That's how the logic of the world should be.

As long as it didn't interfere with his research, Qiao Ze never thought of forcing others to do something for him.

As small as Xuchangshu wants to come to Xilin; Liu Chenfeng worked as a driver for Su Mucheng and Lu Xiuxiu, and they took the initiative to ask for large bags and small bags; The cooperation with Youwei and the Institute of Optoelectronics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences are also requested by the other party.

Speaking of which, today, at the suggestion of many people, it is extremely rare that Qiao Ze is willing to ask these academic masters to take the initiative to promote this matter.

But since the effect is not good, of course he will not insist.

Anyway, for Qiao Ze, it doesn't matter if others understand it or not, he just needs to understand.

It's just that the others obviously didn't quite adapt to Qiao Ze's style, and their brains even had a delay for a while, and they didn't react too much.

But when the host stands up and says "good bye".

After all, I can only get up and say goodbye.

Fortunately, for Lott Dugan, there is still a reward.

"Joe, is the paper on the Yang-Mills solution still going to the Annals of Mathematics?"

"Okay."

The promise is so refreshing, which means that this young man is not angry?

This is even more incomprehensible to Lott Dugan.

You're not angry, who are you chasing?!

……

"Joe, what do you mean exactly?"

"Huh? Let's help him sort out the supercoiled space algebra, which is indeed a very meaningful work. Edward Witten said with a blank face.

I just met with Qiao Ze, in fact, I wanted to talk about the understanding of this new algebra, but Qiao Ze didn't talk about this direction, so why did he scatter in a daze.

From the beginning to the end, he seemed to suggest that José should participate in the compilation of academic works on new algebra, and then it was rejected and gone?

"It's a rewarding job, but his attitude is ...... Is he really not going to do this? Peter Schultz was surprised.

Open up a new discipline......

In academia, this is the foundational thing.

In the future, all students who do related research will learn Qiao Ze's theory. Many of the formulas will even be named after Joser, such as Joser's first theorem in supercoiled space algebra.

This is something that many theorists have dreamed of looking forward to, and how can it collapse in a few words?

"So what did you mean by benefits at the time?" Charles William asked.

"José should know, I always wanted him to come to Princeton. If he wanted to come, the entire Institute for Advanced Study could be involved in the work. Right, Edward? Lotter Dugan glanced at Edward Witten and said generously.

At least in his opinion, Harvard's math department certainly can't compare with Princeton.

"Oh, apparently José didn't mean that."

"Maybe it's just a temptation? I still don't believe he's going to give up on this job. Peter Schultz shook his head and said.

"Look, if we join, it will definitely be beneficial for the future promotion of supercoiled space algebra. Maybe you should indeed calm down. ”

"Huh...... Maybe. ”

……

In the lounge, only Qiao Ze and Xu Changshu were left who had not left.

"I won't do this work for the time being, and when you come next semester, you can do some research on the segmentation method. I have a feeling that the sharding method is better for the Riemann ζ function. ”

"You're really not going to dig deep into new algebra?" Xu Changshu was still stunned.

"Hmm."

Qiao Ze nodded and added: "Later, when the paper is published, more people will take the initiative to study the unique properties of the supercoil space, and find a way to verify it, and it will always be developed." This work doesn't necessarily have to be done by us. ”

"But that could be a delay of years or more." Xu Changshu persuaded.

"It doesn't matter." Qiao Ze replied.

"And if someone comes to you on their own initiative?" Xu Changshu was still a little unwilling.

"People can't escape the cycle of physiological development, and no one can do everything. I've always believed that you should do more new things while your brain is most active, and if a mathematical tool is really useful, it will naturally continue to evolve and there is no need to mind. ”

Qiao Ze emphasized seriously.

Well, he's really patient with Xu Changshu.

After all, people gave up their bright future at Yanbei University and came to Xilin to do academic research sincerely.

If it weren't for the idea of building the Xilin Academy like a dot in his heart, he wouldn't have bothered to explain so much.

In fact, those people just rejected his proposal, which made Qiao Ze think it was quite good.

At least he doesn't need to be distracted by these things.

"Hmmm......"

Xu Changshu wanted to say something, but when he saw Su Mucheng sitting behind Qiao Ze, he suddenly gave him a look, and finally retracted the words that had reached his throat: "By the way, the formalities on my side are almost completed, and I don't plan to go back to Yanbei this time, I can go to the research institute tomorrow to report." ”

"Okay, Dean Xu will arrange it."

"Actually, it's already arranged, and I'm actually very interested in the Riemann ζ function."

"Then starting tomorrow, I will send you the information to your email."

……

After seeing Xu Changshu leave, Qiao Ze sighed.

Sure enough, the road of theoretical scholarship is destined to be lonely.

"Brother Qiao, in fact, I think what Professor Xu said is right, and he does seem to be doing it for your good."

When there were only two people left, Su Mucheng began to express his opinion.

Although she didn't say anything when she just communicated.

However, after listening to Qiao Ze's conversation with Xu Changshu and Yang Lao throughout the whole process, it seems that everyone hopes that he can make the framework and system of new algebra as soon as possible.

It's just that Qiao Ze doesn't seem to think the same way as everyone else.

Fortunately, Qiao Ze was willing to explain more to Su Mucheng: "But it doesn't make sense to me." ”

"Huh? Why? ”

"Establish a framework for everyone to understand the meaning of the new algebra, at least three months. Uncle Li's doctoral supervisor has passed the assessment, and the results will be available before the year. I should graduate in three months. ”

"Huh? I didn't even hear what Dean Xu said. Graduate from undergraduate in three months? ”

"No, Ph.D."

"How is this arranged?"

"After graduating from the undergraduate program, I will apply for Uncle Li's master's and doctoral studies, and I will graduate directly after completing my doctoral dissertation."

"Huh? Wouldn't it be too rushed? ”

"What I asked for is for Uncle Li's good. I made too many things during my Ph.D., which would embarrass Uncle Li. But not after graduation. Qiao Ze explained carefully.

The bright girl suddenly realized.

This is indeed the best way to solve it.

Not to mention that Li Jiangao was embarrassed during his doctorate, the last time he reported the incident anonymously, some comments on the Internet made Su Mucheng feel quite embarrassed by Li Jiangao.

But after graduation, it's really different.

The children trained by the tutor are self-reliant, and if they produce any results in the future, not only will the tutor not feel embarrassed, but they will even be honored.

Wherever you go, you can listen to your chest and say, look, this child has been cultivated by us.

It can only be said that Qiao Ze thought too much about Li Jiangao.

"Brother Qiao!"

"Huh?"

"You're so gentle and considerate!"

“……”

"By the way, Brother Qiao, how did you arrange it after graduation? Dean Xu isn't afraid that you'll run away? ”

"Principal Investigator of the Xilin Institute of Mathematics."

"Oh, no wonder the school is in such a hurry to build the institute. Brother Qiao, will you give us a class after graduating from your PhD? ”

"Fellows are not responsible for teaching, but they can take graduate students."

"Hey......"

Su Mucheng sighed, but after thinking about it, he felt that the school's arrangement couldn't be more considerate.

It's really unnecessary for Qiao Ze to be a professor, let him teach undergraduates, it's torture for both sides, why bother?

A good scholar does not necessarily make a qualified teacher.

……

There's really not much to say about the grand dinner.

It is a large buffet, and it is a cold dinner party when it is put abroad.

Qiao Ze also came to the scene as Xu Dajiang promised.

I did talk to a few scholars about the Young-Mills theory, but that's about it.

To be honest, the five-hour report meeting did not allow everyone to have too deep understanding of the new algebra proposed by Qiao Ze, so for Qiao Ze, there was actually nothing to talk about.

You can't fight for that.

As for humbly seeking advice, it is even more unnecessary.

Except for Su Mucheng and Li Jiangao, Qiao Ze didn't have much patience with others.

The specific manifestation is to deduce a certain result from a certain condition, and I like to use the word "obvious" to express it. Coupled with Qiao Ze's consistent thinking, as long as he talks about any problem once, no matter how much "obvious" is used, he acquiesces that the other party already understands.

As for the most important attribute of this kind of cold dinner party, at the social level, after the other party has said a lot of things, he replied: "I'm not good at ineffective communication." "It's enough to make the vast majority of people stay away from Qiao Ze.

A scholar with an eccentric personality is destined to be unpleasant.

Fortunately, José never seemed to need other people's liking.

The most troublesome thing is the editors who asked Qiao Ze for the manuscript.

Fortunately, Su Mucheng can help deal with it.

Although the power of habit makes Qiao Ze not plan to change the journal he submits to for the time being, there is no need to strain the relationship with other journals.

In short, it is best not to offend people, there is always Su Mucheng who comes forward to deal with it.

It's not that Qiao Ze likes to offend people, but many times he doesn't feel offended, but people will feel offended.

At the final dinner, after Qiao Ze ate something quickly, he quietly left the banquet with Su Mucheng.

For some, this kind of occasion can be like a fish in water, for others, it is not very adaptable after all.

……

"Brother Joe, that Davis from Science magazine said that he wanted to arrange an interview for you to be on the cover page."

"Refused?"

"Hmm."

"Don't you want to be a cover character?"

"It doesn't make sense."

"That's right."

"But today it is popular on the Internet, and the whole network is popularizing the Young-Mills theory and the mass gap hypothesis today. There are also predictions that you will definitely win the Fields Medal in two years. Hey, the youngest Fields laureate in the world. ”

"It doesn't make sense."

"Why doesn't that make sense? You didn't think that way before. ”

José replied, "I used to think that recognition was meaningful. But after this presentation, I don't feel like I need to be recognized as successful. ”

Su Mucheng blinked, probably capturing Qiao Ze's mental trajectory of the world's cognition.

Finished......

Qiao Ze probably realized that he was special, and his mind became more dull.

It's not fun.

So on the way back to school, Su Mucheng also became serious.

"Brother Qiao, your idea is wrong."

"Huh?"

"Do you think that the report will be very detailed, but it seems that there are not many people who understand you, and you think that even those top scholars in this world are not as powerful as you imagined?" Su Mucheng asked.

Qiao Ze was silent.

"Have you ever thought about the question, how long have you been researching this topic? It's been more than a month, Brother Qiao, it took you more than a month to make up a lot of things, and finally you can get the result. But how long have you only been talking to everyone? It doesn't take more than five hours to fill a full game, right?

For a new mathematical system, even if it is necessary for these academic masters to have a deeper understanding of the system, five hours is too short, right? And you don't have a step-by-step understanding of this mathematical system, and even then there are people who follow your train of thought, is that not enough?

It's too difficult for you to think about the problem that it took more than a month to get results, and it is too difficult for you to let other people have a deep insight into the system you think about in five hours, right? ”

Qiao Ze was stunned.

I feel that what Su Mucheng said seems to have some truth.

"Actually, today I feel that those big guys were geniuses similar to you when they were young. Especially that Schultz, he sent you an email at noon, telling you some of his understanding, and you think it's very right. You thought about it for more than a month, and after talking for five hours, he could understand so much, isn't that powerful? ”

Qiao Ze nodded......

Well, some authorities are lost.

From this point of view, these bigwigs are indeed very strong, and a little vigilant, and he seems to be too proud.

"Well, you're right."

"Hehe, Brother Qiao, of course you are the best, but I think recognition is still necessary. It's your honor, and it doesn't matter if you're defined by others, don't you think? It's like Uncle Li should be an academician.

Even if you think that the level of some academicians is not enough, then you need a high-level academician like Uncle Li to pull the average. Rather than thinking it's pointless, right? ”

"Hmm." Qiao Ze nodded, if what the people around him said made sense, he would still listen to persuasion.

For example, today, what Su Mucheng said is indeed very reasonable.

"So, Brother Qiao, in fact, compared to the world's top geniuses, you are not much better than them, very ordinary, at most younger than them. And maybe with your inspiration, they will stand taller than you in the future, and you must not be proud. Su Mucheng said seriously.

"Okay." Qiao Ze nodded in response.

But there was one sentence, Qiao Ze didn't say.

He never wanted to compare himself to anyone, because his goal was not to be better than anyone else.

……

After the fermentation during the day, Qiao Ze, an ordinary guy, finally set off a wave of heat on the Internet again.

After all, no one would have imagined that a prospective high school graduate who was almost labeled as an academic misdemeanor half a year ago would suddenly give everyone such a big surprise at this time.

The Millennial Conundrum......

was solved by a young man in China?

Or even the scholar who is most likely to contribute to academic unification?

Qiao Ze is only nineteen years old!

Although the vast majority of ordinary people do not understand the significance of finding the solution of the Yang-Mills equation, let alone the difference between solving and finally solving the mass gap hypothesis.

But since it is one of the seven millennial problems that the Yankees have publicly offered to the world, and has been certified as the world's most difficult problem by a group of bigwig-level theoretical physicists, it is enough to make many people proud.

Especially in this special period when most people have realized that the world is not as they imagined, and the so-called head of the global village is not as polite as they imagined, valuing contracts and advocating fairness.

It is no surprise that at least on this night, Qiao Ze was directly praised on the Internet to the height of almost the world's first scholar.

Unexpectedly, and it is reasonable that the first to explode was Doudou's comment area.

"Doudou, what do you think of Qiao Ze's public resolution of the Yang-Mills theory today?"

"Hmph...... I didn't bother to comment on things that were as natural as drinking water for my dad! What a waste of computing power, dear! ”
