"You see, Lotte. Let's not talk about anything else, let's just focus on energy supply for now. No other country can replace Huaxia in that regard. If we go by the Carl Dashev civilization index, Huaxia is truly the erging star of civilization fit to lead global developnt. So, are you really not considering coming to Huaxia?"
"...Alright, Qiao, I admit that's a point I hadn't considered. You're sharp. So I choose to concede, now it's my turn."
"Go ahead."
"You should know the history of Princeton and the superior mathematical environnt here. There are many geniuses just like you, ready to inspire you at any mont. Our educational model and philosophy are recognized worldwide, and you can experience the perfect encounter of mathematics thoughts colliding here."
"Okay, Lotte, tell , in the past three years, have you attended more conferences in person or via the internet?"
There was a pause for about two seconds on the other end, then ca the reply: "Online conferences."
"That's right, Lotte. You've overlooked the changes of the tis. We are now in the era of networking. Even last year's mathematicians' conference was held online. Can you say those lectures weren't brilliant?"
"Of course, the lectures were brilliant!"
Lotte Dugan seed to have no other response.
"So, Professor Dugan, we no longer live in an era where face-to-face communication is necessary to spark mathematical ideas. In the last century, when Einstein wrote a letter to Eric Guthken, it took months, even a year, for ssages to be exchanged. The low density of information obviously created a demand for face-to-face interactions.
But in this era, although we are thousands of miles apart, we can communicate at any ti. Text, voice, video, images, even multi-platform collaboration – so the issues you ntioned are no longer problems. Regarding the mathematical environnt, wherever we are is the environnt, the best mathematical environnt!
Most importantly, the developnt of the software industry in Huaxia is even more advanced than in the United States. For example, TikTok has already outperford Facebook and Twitter, and the developing Group Wisdom will also surpass ChatGPT in the future. This proves that Huaxia still has the ability to monetize mathematicians.
Can't one conduct research on the N-body problem and other research at the sa ti? Huaxia has the most comprehensive 5G network coverage in the world. More importantly, from the current online conferences to future 3D and even simulated sensory network conferences, the basic requirent is high-quality network conditions.
Even better, breakthroughs still require the help of mathematicians. So the question is, should a mathematician co to Huaxia, or should they leave Huaxia at this ti?"
Dou Dou's response speed never needs to be questioned.
By the end, Lotte Dugan was completely unable to keep up with Dou Dou's responses.
He had just spoken a sentence, and Dou Dou had already pushed several argunts forcefully.
Although this doesn't really suit Qiao Ze's style because unless it's an academic discussion, Qiao Ze usually doesn't talk much, let alone spend ti trying to change other people's minds.
But Lotte Dugan really didn't realize that soone, or sothing, else had taken over.
After all, Dou Dou's imitation was indeed accurate, like avoiding unnecessary chatter and pulling up topics discussed previously with Lotte Dugan as evidence, having read the data of their past conversations.
The effect was very clear.
The other party went offline directly, the avatar that had been lit suddenly dimd without warning.
"Ding dong!"
The system notification sound made Qiao Ze shift his attention from the manuscript paper and glance at the screen.
Then he saw, in the chatbox, a stream of surprised, wronged, angry, and even hurt expressions sent by Dou Dou...
⊙﹏⊙,┭┮﹏┭┮_,(ω)(灬),(_)(_")...
"Ah, ah, ah, that guy on the other end couldn't beat , and before admitting defeat, he just went offline and ran away!"
Qiao Ze roughly skimd through the chat content between the two.
Well, how to say it, Lotte Dugan indeed showed a lack of sportsmanship.
He was the one who suggested playing a little ga, yet when he found out that he could not beat Dou Dou, he went offline imdiately.
Well, if one thinks from a 'people are inherently good' perspective, perhaps Dugan really did lose connection.
But Qiao Ze couldn't be bothered to think so much. Since the other party went offline, he closed the software and exited Dou Dou's chat mode.
After all, Qiao Ze is not like Su Mucheng.
If Su saw Dou Dou feeling aggrieved, she would definitely empathize and comfort him promptly.
But in Qiao Ze's mind, Dou Dou is just lines of code.
So can code really feel wronged?
...
Lotte Dugan had no idea that Qiao Ze would cheat first. So when he deliberately unplugged the internet cable to pretend to disconnect, he actually felt quite guilty.
He thought he could persuade Qiao Ze.
After all, Qiao Ze is known for not being eloquent.
But who could have expected that Qiao Ze would be so well-inford about so many things?
Being the dean of a secondary college at a major university, he had not paid attention to national-level issues such as the increase in power generation, yet a student who can write two quality mathematics papers a month had all sorts of data at their fingertips.
Isn't that a bit too incredible?
Sigh, he got up early and ca to the office, thinking that an early bird might catch the worm, but instead, another bird pecked him.
In frustration, Lotte Dugan also checked the "Mathematics Annual" official website, and seeing that Qiao Ze's paper had not yet been published, he picked up the phone.
"What's going on? Wasn't Qiao Ze's paper ready to go last night? Why haven't I seen it?"
"Mr. Dugan, I'm still on my way to the editorial office, and besides, it's not yet business hours."
Lotte Dugan checked the ti on his computer, indeed it was only 8:40 in the morning.
"Do you know that during the past five years, Huaxia's annual increase in power generation has reached almost 400 terawatt-hours?"
"Uh? No, I didn't know that."
"Then why do you still dare to arrive at the editorial office at the last minute? If I can't see what I want by 8:50, I swear you're going to be very unhappy!"
After saying that, Lotte Dugan hung up the phone rashly.
