He wasn’t pondering string theory, but instead, he was pondering...
"Why on earth am I such a fool?"
"To think that I would sit and listen for two hours straight – this chap’s brainwashing powers are way too strong!"
"I’m even beginning to believe in string theory!"
"I must not entertain such thoughts!"
Zhao Yi forcefully shook his head, glanced at the ti, and used the need to organize his thoughts as an excuse to arrange to et Edward the next day.
If they were to continue talking, it would simply never end.
Edward seed sowhat reluctant to part ways, but when he realized that Zhao Yi had listened attentively and seed to have understood everything, he felt that he should indeed give Zhao Yi so ti to digest everything.
Also, he was starting to feel tired.
"I’ll co back tomorrow then."
Edward announced sothing that was enough to crush one’s spirit, "My flight is not until next week, so I plan to stay here for a week. The environnt at Yanhua University is quite nice. In the afternoon, I’m even invited to deliver a lecture - on string theory. Would you like to co?"
"...Maybe not, I’ve already gotten... quite enough for today!"
Zhao Yi definitively said.
Edward seed slightly disheartened, and he left along with everyone else.
It made sense for Yanhua University to roll out the red carpet for Edward. Edward’s personal accomplishnts were one thing, but he had also shown gratitude to the university. For instance, he had agreed to give two lectures.
Both lectures were open to the public, aning students who wished to attend could do so.
One of the lectures was about string theory while the other primarily covered the positive energy theorem of the General Theory of Relativity.
Having a renowned physicist and Fields dal recipient co and deliver lectures at the university was indeed an honor for Yanhua University.
Think about it.
A university regularly visited by world-famous scholars for guest lectures contributes to an entirely different academic atmosphere and can attract more exceptional students.
anwhile...
Once Zhao Yi said goodbye to Edward and Gao Yihua, he imdiately locked his door tightly, ate sothing random from the kitchen, and hopped into bed, not feeling like getting up anymore.
Tired!
Physically tired, ntally exhausted!
Knowing that Edward was still at Yanhua University and would probably co by tomorrow, he even felt the urge to take flight.
"The world is so big... I want to see it!"
Of course, he really couldn’t do that.
Zhao Yi could only suppress his inner frustration and continue to rest at ho when he had the chance. But, he had to get up in the afternoon anyway.
Another visitor.
Terence Tao.
Zhao Yi didn’t harbor any resentnt toward Terence Tao. They had already discussed all their mathematical problems, including topics on Digital Compression Technology. Terence Tao ca primarily to discuss patent fees with Zhao Yi.
For instance, what account the patent fee should be deposited into.
The issue Zhao Yi loved discussing the most. He knew Digital Compression Technology’s patent fees had already amounted to more than $500,000, and his mood significantly improved.
"But you have to pay taxes, and the tax rate is pretty hefty."
"So patent fee inco will be delayed, and also..."
Terence Tao went into great detail about many issues related to patent fee inco. As it was foreign inco, it involved a lot of complications, and he explained them all thoroughly.
Zhao Yi ca to understand quite a bit. Most critically, he had already received over $150,000, and more patent fees were sure to follow, even continuously.
A steady stream was what counted.
According to Terence Tao’s explanation, he carefully calculated that under normal circumstances, he would receive about $200,000 in patent fees the next year. No one could say how much he would get after that, but he wouldn’t be getting much less either.
The patent for Digital Compression Technology was just a single soft application technology. The patent usage fee constituted only a small portion of the product’s total price. Even if the application was scaled up, since the portion taken up by the patent was small, the inco wouldn’t be shocking.
Nonetheless, $100,000 to $200,000 a year was not a small sum. In local terms, it was the equivalent of lying down to earn a yearly salary of a million.
After seeing off Terence Tao, Zhao Yi delightedly opened his laptop and rembered the Goldbach Conjecture project he had applied for.
Now that the Goldbach Conjecture was solved, the project naturally could be submitted as completed. He directly uploaded his paper and declared the project finished.
Only then did he rember that he still had a mathematics project under his na; it was on ’Information Compression Technology Theoretical Research.’ Because Liu Tong’en had ntioned that the project tiline was rather long, he felt it wasn’t good to submit it too early.
Maybe he should also work on it given the ti?
Checking the ti, it had been more than a month. Completing the project wasn’t too....
Cough cough.
"Whatever!"
"Finishing the project early would be contributing to the nation!"
"Let’s get it done ahead of schedule!"
"After all, it’s worth two million eight hundred thousand!" Zhao Yi mused with delight.
What a great gain today!
Study Coins, Research Coins, plus much more coming into the account. If only Edward wasn’t here... everything would be perfect!
