To be honest, many people at the defense meeting were a little confused at this moment.

Not only Robert Stephen, but he didn't know exactly what was going on. Because Qiao Ze's conversation with the host was in Chinese, he didn't bring headphones for simultaneous interpretation, so he didn't understand.

The host was also confused at this time.

According to the normal process, Qiao Ze should finish answering the questions first.

But it was clear that José did not answer a word.

Without even thinking about it, he was asked to replace him again......

What's going on?

To be honest, the host was a little anxious at this time, after all, even if Qiao Ze couldn't answer, it would be better to deal with a few words casually than this?

It's a bit rude to skip it like this.

Not to mention that Robert Stephen is not an unknown person.

But soon, the moderator sensed that something didn't seem right.

Standing on the stage, he could see that many scholars in the front row of the audience were turning their heads and gesturing at Robert Stephen, as if to prompt him to sit down first.

Nearly half of the visiting scholars looked at the big guy and seemed a little uncomfortable.

For a while, the host was stunned and didn't know what to do.

Well, Robert Stephen already sensed that something didn't seem right.

However, he still didn't quite understand what was going on.

Until a professor at Imperial College London next to him, who was also waiting for a question, couldn't sit still, wasn't it a waste of time to stalemate like this?

So the professor simply stood up and said in place of Joze, "Oh my God, Robert, didn't you just put on your headphones and listen carefully?" On this issue, Qiao Ze spent at least five minutes to elaborate! This is a modification added to the boundary condition of the second theorem of geometry.

Therefore, [r(x)=\frac{\alpha}{x^2}] is not a contradiction with the second theorem, but a modified formula given to make it easier to verify the results in future physical experiments. Help the laboratory to better identify the energy level structure! Sit down and don't waste time! ”

"Corrections?" Robert Stephen's old face instantly turned red.

God's special corrections.

This is a math paper, and who would give an explanation that goes beyond the framework in a math paper? What the hell does Qiao Ze want to do?

Robert Stephen also finally recalled that when he saw this part, he keenly noticed the contradiction with the previous one, so he took off the headphones directly. So as not to disturb his train of thought with the sound inside the headphones.

Outcome......

Wait, no, why are the papers sent to all scholars in Chinese?

Is it just here waiting for him?

If it was an English paper, he would have found out even if he hadn't listened to the simultaneous explanation in the headphones just now.

Now it turned out that he seemed to have asked a stupid question, so stupid that the young guy on stage didn't even bother to answer him?

What Robert Stephen couldn't bear the most was that as he muttered to himself, a chuckle suddenly came from behind.

Is this mocking him?

Who is sitting in the back who has the right to laugh at him?

Well, it can only be said that Robert Stephen is too sensitive, if he has heard a sentence circulated on the Internet in Huaxia, maybe his mentality will be much better at this time.

As long as you don't feel embarrassed, it's someone else who is embarrassed.

It's a pity that Robert Stephen really felt embarrassed at this moment.

Fortunately, at this time, the host on the stage finally reacted.

Although the professor at Imperial College British spoke English, he may not be so proficient in the direction of Qiao Ze's research and may not understand the thesis very well, but English is certainly no problem.

Good guys, no wonder José directly replaced the next question.

It turned out that it was not that I couldn't answer, but that I had been reminded repeatedly when I just talked about PPT.

So the moderator said very decently: "Professor Stephen, please sit down first, if there is anything you don't understand about the content of the paper, you can find an opportunity to discuss it with our paper author after the defense." Next, I would like to ask Professor Davis from Imperial College to ask questions. ”

Robert Stephen took the steps handed by the host who reacted in time and sat back quickly.

No way, he's just a mathematician, not Spider-Man or Batman.

Otherwise, he would have chosen to rush forward and tear the mouths of those who ignored him and laughed at him.

Truly, Robert Stephen has never been so hungry for power as he is today.

It's like a child who is so naïve that he doesn't know anything about the world.

Annoyance, resentment, shame, and embarrassment were mixed together, which made his whole body begin to be in a trance, and although he put on the interpreter headphones again, he couldn't concentrate and couldn't hear what was being said inside.

Until the end, the host's voice sounded again: "Thank you again for taking the time to participate in Qiao Ze's doctoral dissertation defense, and I announce the end of this defense." At the same time, congratulations to Qiao Ze for successfully passing the defense. ”

Robert Stephen, immersed in his own world, heard the words clearly, only to find that the seat that had just been vacated after the departure of the defense committee was once again full. Everyone also stood up and applauded at this time. It was probably on the celebration stage that the young man finally got rid of his student status and became one of them.

Truth be told, José's successful Ph.D. graduation was not bad news for everyone on the floor.

Also includes Robert Stephen......

The defense meeting is finally over.

He felt like a clown at this time, but unfortunately, it wasn't the one in the movie.

That Qiao Ze must have laughed at him madly in his heart, right?

Robert Stephen's gaze was firm.

The paper is definitely problematic.

But he needs time, and perhaps by the time the paper is officially published in English, he will be able to find the omissions in the proof.

No one has been able to solve the Young-Mills quality problem in such a short period of time! No one!

……

Well, fortunately, Qiao Ze didn't know that the guy in the audience who asked a stupid question had such a rich inner drama.

Of course, he couldn't laugh at someone who didn't have much to do with him, even if he was a well-known scholar. The reality is that when he says "change the next question", he doesn't pay attention to this guy anymore.

It's normal for a few stupid people to mix in at the defense meeting.

In Qiao Ze's experience, 80 percent of the 4 or 50 people in a class have a failing IQ. Today's defense, there are nearly 200 scholars who came to watch the ceremony, and although they have been screened, it is normal for so many people to have IQs that do not meet the standard.

In high school, he tried to resist, but the results were not satisfactory, and he was even denied the opportunity to participate in the Olympiad.

If he hadn't met Li Jiangao, he might have been in trouble for a long time.

Because there was no school to endorse him, and no one trusted him with the initial funds, he didn't have so many channels to broaden his horizons, get in touch with many new ideas, and almost arbitrarily accessible computing power to stimulate his inspiration or imagination, and validate his wild ideas.

So ignoring the stupidity of others is the best option.

The operating rules of human society have always been that the IQ is too high or too low, and it is difficult to integrate into the life of normal people. This is also the reason why Qiao Ze has always been grateful to Li Jiangao in his heart, Uncle Li taught him how to use and even subvert the rules, how to trade with others, these are extremely valuable life lessons for him.

This is also the reason why Qiao Ze is bent on fulfilling Li Jiangao's wish and pushing him to the position of academician.

If Li Jiangao heard Qiao Ze's inner monologue, he would probably be very frightened.

Really, he didn't think he had taught José anything at all.

In the past nearly a year, all of Joze's achievements have been free-range.

And he, Li Jiangao, the most admired and even envied doctoral supervisor in Huaxia, just finished reading the hundred papers that Qiao Ze specially prepared for him last summer.

No one even knew that Qiao Ze's doctoral dissertation reviews were written by Qiao Ze himself.

At most, he just signed his name, and even Qiao Ze's paper was not read in its entirety, which is not ashamed, after all, this is not his research direction. As he once said to Joze, if one day José really solved the quality problem of the Yang-Mills field, there would be no more than twenty people in the world who could read his paper at the first time.

Today, though, it seems that he overestimated that number.

It would be nice to have five people who could keep up with Qiao Ze's train of thought for the first time.

This is mainly due to the fact that Qiao Ze has abandoned almost all the research of his predecessors and proposed two new sets of mathematical theories of supercoiled space algebra and transcendental geometry to explain this problem.

For other scholars, if they want to understand Qiao Ze's thinking, they must first study and understand these two new theories, and then they can judge whether Qiao Ze is right or wrong from an academic point of view.

It would have taken a lot of time, two years, five years, or even longer.

However, the scheme given in Qiao Ze's paper allows physicists to bypass these complex mathematical proof processes and indirectly prove the correctness of the theory through the analysis of data by experimental means. So this time will be greatly shortened. If it is fast, it may be half a year or a year to get results.

Because physicists don't need to fully grasp the complex theoretical system, they only need to memorize the formula given by Josser, and then bring the experimental results into the formula to verify it directly.

In addition, Qiao Ze directly found the general solution of the Yang-Mills equation through the new algebraic theory, which was verified by supercomputing.

This also makes the theory of supercoiled space algebra has been recognized by the vast majority of mathematicians.

Therefore, Li Jiangao also firmly believes that Qiao Ze's paper today must be correct! Even if it hasn't been verified yet! This confidence is even more than his doctoral dissertation!

Really, when Qiao Ze bowed down to him, Li Jiangao's mind was full of all kinds of emotion and shame.

Speaking of which, he's a big tutor.

"Alright, alright, don't do that, Joze. Let's go take pictures first. The photographer is in a hurry, and your mother and Xiao Su are also waiting below. Li Jiangao helped Qiao Ze, resisted the urge to kneel for Qiao Ze in turn, and pulled him towards the outside of the new conference center.

"Oh." Qiao Ze nodded.

……

There's not much to say about what follows.

Qiao Ze took a group photo in a doctor's gown and followed the process.

First of all, I took a group photo with all the members of the defense committee today.

To be honest, the professors from other schools on the defense committee who fought for this place were largely for this group photo.

No matter what foreign scholars think, at least in China, the vast majority of people have recognized that Qiao Ze will definitely become a world-class top scholar in the future.

It doesn't matter if it's creed, nationality, or anything else.

The main reason is that almost all of the bigwigs who can speak in the entire Huaxia academic community are optimistic about Qiao Ze, even if it is only on the surface.

At the undergraduate level, he dared to apply to become a member of the expert pool of the Natural Science Foundation, and the People's Fund Committee pinched his nose and recognized it.

Not to mention sending a mentor to Jieqing hat, he turned his hand and pressed the faces of the professors who applied for Jieqing on the ground and rubbed it, and everyone felt that it would definitely make a noise.

As a result, the existence of the solution of the Yang-Mills equation was directly proved the next day, and the paper was published directly in the Annals of Mathematics. Mr. Yang personally attended the report meeting, and the report meeting gave explanations......

God knows how many people were shocked by this series of operations.

This also disappointed all those who wanted to watch the lively fun.

I thought that Qiao Ze would receive some education from the top because of these young and frivolous practices, but the result was just the opposite.

First, the person who caused the trouble directly apologized publicly, and then the school issued a statement that it would be dealt with seriously.

After Qiao Ze's thesis was published in the Annals of Mathematics, the serious process of dealing with it really began, and the university suspended the professor's qualification to recruit graduate students and apply for projects, and ordered him to conduct a thorough review.

After the report meeting, after research, the punishment was escalated again, and he was simply dismissed. Well, that person will probably not be eligible to apply for the Outstanding Youth Program in the future.

As for today, once the academic community recognizes Qiao Ze's research results, it will not even be as simple as a Fields or Abel Medal.

Because once it is determined that Josser's understanding of the quality problem of the Yang-Mills field is correct, then supercoiled space algebra and transcendental geometry, which are mainly used to solve this problem, must also be correct and valuable mathematical theories.

This status was instantly elevated to the position of the founder of a new theory.

How so?

For example, even if Qiao Ze accidentally suddenly gaged immediately, after a few years his achievements were recognized, he would almost immediately become a top existence like Lao Ai and Lao Niu in the world academic circles. It's going to be written straight into the history books.

Mathematics and geometry, which bear his name, will inevitably become compulsory subjects in higher mathematics in the next decade. Every year, there will be countless newcomers, following the ideas he gave, to dig deep into the content of supercoiled space algebra and transcendental geometry.

In half a century at most, the legend of the Qiao Ze school of scholars or the Xilin school will begin to circulate in the theoretical circles.

The by-product is probably that various stories about him will also be widely circulated.

For example, Qiao Ze's dedication and persistence in academics are incredible, and he is researching almost all the time, including when he is dreaming! So one day, in a dream, Qiao Ze invented a new form of mathematics, and used the new mathematics to solve a world-class problem, which made all scientists in the world worship.

This shows that genius is still hard work.

Really, this kind of story is bound to spread. Maybe it will be even more bizarre and become an inspirational text in textbooks in the not-too-distant future, etched in the minds of many children.

The only pity is that José is not dead. So all this has to be postponed.

In short, when taking a group photo, everyone smiled brightly, but maybe someone was already looking forward to Qiao hanging up quickly. It's a pity that Qiao Ze is too young, so young that even if he finally includes the group photo of all the scholars who are watching the ceremony today, no one in it is confident that he can really live him.

After the official group photo was completed, Lu Xiuxiu, Su Mucheng, and Qiao Ze's roommates, who had been watching the feast, also began to take a group photo.

The teacher in charge of photography was not impatient at all.

Holding a camera, I took nearly 100 photos in a row.

Really, Qiao Ze feels that all the photos he has taken in his life probably not as much as they do today.

Especially Lu Xiuxiu.

When he was a child, Lu Xiuxiu always wanted to take a few more photos of Qiao Ze as a souvenir, but Qiao Ze never cooperated. This time she finally found an opportunity, not to mention that there is a special photographer to help her find the angle. So he simply pulled Qiao Ze and Su Mucheng, and under the leadership of Qiao Ze's several roommates, they filmed everywhere.

Almost all the places in the school that she thought had good scenery were photographed.

It wasn't until she felt that her dear son had almost reached the limit of his tolerance that she finally gave up reluctantly.

Qiao Ze was finally relieved and could have a quiet meal with a few roommates.

……

At the cold lunch party prepared in the school cafeteria, Lott Dugan directly approached Peter Schultz, who was holding a sandwich and watching the replay video at the table.

"Professor Schultz, can you talk?"

"Of course, Professor Dugan, what's the matter?"

"Just now when I was listening to Qiao Ze talk about transcendent geometry, I suddenly had the bold idea that if the theorem proved to be correct, this new way of solving the optimization problem of multivariate functions. You're an expert on this, so I wanted to talk to you about it. ”

"Oh? Tell us what you think. Peter Schultz was clearly interested.

Lott Duggan took out the manuscript he had already prepared and handed it over, and said excitedly: "Consider a target function f(x)=∑n,i=1,sin(xi), and then define a constraint function g(x)=e^x1+cos(x2)=0, and then introduce the Lagrange multiplier λ to deal with the constraints, and you can get a new Lagrangian function." ”

Peter Schultz looked carefully at the manuscript handed by Lott Dugan.

What is written above is actually quite simple.

But that's normal.

Even if he really got inspiration from Qiao Ze's defense, it was impossible to think it through in a short period of time.

But the idea behind Lott Dugan is clear.

Although there were only a few formulas in the manuscript, it allowed him to quickly understand what was going on in this serious old mind.

"It's very interesting, so the next thing you have to do is you have to ensure the stability of the numerical values, and more importantly, to ensure their convergence, which is really a direction worth thinking about, oh, Professor Dugan, if successful, it can greatly simplify the computation of this type of equation."

"Just like I thought! Do you find this interesting? Lott Duggan said happily.

"Of course, I think ......"

"I beg your pardon, but I think the first thing to do is to prove that the theorems you are relying on are correct, not just speculation."

A sudden interjection interrupted the conversation between the two.

Lott Dugan turned his head in displeasure to look in the direction where the voice came from, and couldn't help frowning when he saw that it was Robert Stephen.

"Well, Professor Stephen, thank you for your insight. But do you think there is a possibility that you have stubbornly fallen into a misunderstanding? Of course, I'm not saying that José is necessarily right, but at least in the two-hour discussion, I haven't found a loophole for the time being.

Of course, you're different. Either you didn't listen to the report at all, or your receptivity deteriorated too much as you aged. Either way, I don't think you're qualified to judge my ideas. Or is working at MSRI so arrogant that you lose your most basic scientific literacy? ”

Don't think Lott Dugan will save face.

In fact, this little old man has always been a maverick in the world of mathematics, and the seniority of the president of the Princeton School of Mathematics has also given him the capital to not give face. It's as if he likes to comment unscrupulously on the judges of the Fields Medals when he has nothing to do. In many cases, the words are extremely harsh.

The confidence comes from the fact that he has produced three Fields Medalists and two Abel Medal winners. He has already won the Abel Prize and the Wolf Prize.

As for Robert Stephen, he really didn't take the initiative to find abuse.

He was looking for Edward Witten.

But I didn't see it in the dining room, and I happened to see Lott Dugan, and I wanted to ask the dean of Princeton's math school, where Edward Witten had gone. As a result, as soon as I came over, I heard his discussion with Peter Schultz, and I couldn't help but say more.

Lott Dugan's response also made him a little emotional, but he had no better way to face this old man.

"I don't want to argue with you, Professor Dugan. But there is one thing I feel that skepticism is precisely because I retain a reverence for science. ”

Suppressing his temper and saying this, Robert Stephen was about to simply ask where Edward Witten was, and then leave immediately, but he didn't expect that Lott Dugan had already turned his head and continued to say to Peter Schultz: "Ignore this stupid guy." What do you think if we could design and develop a new algorithm along this line? ”

Peter Schultz glanced at Robert Stephen, whose face was a little green, and showed a regretful smile that could not be helped, then looked away and said seriously: "Of course, Professor Dugan. I think it could be a topic, but Professor Stephen is at least right in saying that we need to have a deeper understanding of transcendental geometry in order to make it go more smoothly. ”

"Ha, that's why I'm here for you. I made an appointment with José to discuss something academic with him tonight. So you can help me think about what problems we need to solve if this research direction is feasible. Ay...... I'm getting old after all, and I'm thinking slower and less comprehensive. ”
