Xu Dajiang still hadn't brought up the sudden surge of power on Dou Dou's Weibo.
Compared to the problem Qiao Ze resolved, the petty issues on Weibo deserved to be ntioned later.
Xu Dajiang didn't know that, in Qiao Ze's view, it was quite the opposite. A half-finished research paper obviously wasn't as important as his future ntor's ascent to the academy.
The honors that belong to Li Jiangao were not for others to covet.
However, since Xu Dajiang made a special trip to see Qiao Ze, he had to ntion it.
"Oh, right, Qiao Ze, actually, the school already knows about that Weibo matter, I even had a dedicated talk with your Uncle Li yesterday. The school will definitely not leave him just as a sideline, you've t Principal Zheng, haven't you? The vice-principal in charge of teaching who went on a business trip to the Capital for this very issue."
"Oh, but today the National Natural Science Foundation's organizing committee still called to get my opinion, and they seed to hope that Uncle Li could accept their arrangent."
"Ah? There's such a thing? Huh, those Capital folks are unscrupulous! But never mind, the matter will certainly be handled properly, rest assured... I'm here for another matter. Hasn't the school been planning a report session this month? Since the paper was written by you, that will certainly be canceled and we'll start preparing all over again."
"Huh?" Qiao Ze was sowhat surprised.
"We had invited so dostic well-known professors and academicians before, but the scale wasn't enough. This ti our report session is mainly about your achievents in the Yang-Mills Theory, we have to make it bigger. We must invite all the notable scholars from both ho and abroad, mathematicians, physicists! Principal Chen said, we have to prepare for this report session with the attitude of holding an international conference of the highest standard!"
Xu Dajiang, with one hand on his hip and the other waving energetically, began to orate proudly, looking very much like a general who had just won a great battle.
"Have enough funds?" Qiao Ze asked.
Qiao Ze didn't quite comprehend the excitent Xu Dajiang was expressing at the mont.
This paper was just the simplest first step regarding the ultimate problem of the mass gap; the real difficulty would start to exponentially increase from here. So they were opening champagne when only one-fifth of the progress was made?
Qiao Ze's indifferent attitude, seen by Xu Dajiang, made him sowhat unable to restrain himself.
"Qiao Ze, don't you understand? It's not a matter of money anymore! Proving that the Yang-Mills Equations have a solution, you can't just see it from the mathematical perspective. This is also progress in the foundational aspect of physics. The Yang-Mills Theory is also one of the bases for the grand unified theory. You have now proved that the equations have solutions, it's more than a push in mathematics!
Physicists all over the world who research high-energy particles will thank you. They might even be more eager to attend this report session than mathematicians. Your paper could give them a new direction! Just now, several academicians from the physics institute specifically called to ask for details. So can't even wait to see the original paper.
They have been waiting for this day for a long ti. Believe it or not, once your paper is formally published, a surge of papers will imdiately appear aid at understanding the mathematical tools proposed in your paper, and even those papers that discuss and verify the standard model might see a sudden increase."
Xu Dajiang said earnestly.
Qiao Ze nodded in a manner that showed respect.
In fact, he understood this better than Xu Dajiang.
Xu Dajiang was only engaged in research on partial differential equations, but Qiao Ze's series of research efforts were aid at solving real theoretical physics problems.
It was just that previous mathematicians hadn't prepared sufficient mathematical tools for him, so he had to start by proving theorems one by one and use these theorems as tools to explore the marvelous world of physics.
All right, seeing that he could never raise Qiao Ze's enthusiasm and facing Qiao who lacked any hint of excitent, Xu Dajiang ultimately retreated.
Everything about Qiao Ze was good, except that talking with him extinguished all high spirits.
"Then I'll report back to the school and arrange the report session. This conference might last two to three days. Besides your report session, there will be several discussion sessions, and we'll invite so scholars to give a series of lectures. When do you think would be a good ti?"
Xu Dajiang asked.
Without any surprise, Qiao Ze only replied with two words, "Whatever."
"Okay, then. It will take so ti to prepare. It might be scheduled for next month or maybe January of next year. Anyway, I'll let you know as soon as we set the date."
"Hmm."
"I'll be going then. Oh, and your phone might be busy tonight."
"It's fine, I will turn off my phone at night."
"Uh... Oh... Haha, that's one way to do it. Alright, I'm off..."
Xu Dajiang scratched his head, ready to turn around when he finally noticed three roommates standing still as statues in the dormitory. He cleared his throat with authority and added earnestly, "You three sharing a dorm with Qiao Ze is a blessing others can't cultivate. You must learn more from Qiao Ze."
After spouting this cliché, Xu Dajiang finally turned and left the dorm with a spring in his step, feeling ten years younger at that mont.
After Xu Dajiang left, Dorm 408 erupted in chaos following a brief silence.
Zhang Zhou practically pounced in front of Qiao Ze, grabbed his right arm, and shouted extravagantly, "Damn, Qiao, how did you do it? That's a millennium problem, and you just sorted it out so casually?"
