Qiao Ze had even started to understand many of the professors at various universities, like Professor Zhao Guangyao, the lucky professor whom Qiao Ze had randomly picked on his first night at Xilin University of Technology.
It turns out that not engaging in innovative research isn't because they don't want to or are lazy; it's purely because they aren't capable enough yet, or perhaps they just haven't fully grasped the concept yet.
But then again, even using soone else's tools to do a project still holds so significance.
Although Qiao Ze thinks that research without expansion doesn't have much significance, a quantitative change might lead to a qualitative change?
Maybe so research might just inspire a flash of genius in a future prodigy, leading to remarkable achievents.
In the end, as long as one is happy in life, it's all good.

At the sa ti, Luo Jiuwen was already seated in the exam hall and had begun answering the questions.
How to put it, the feeling was quite peculiar.
This paper seed to be tailor-made for him.
It basically covered all his research content from his graduate studies to the present, but in more depth.
For instance, the research direction Luo Jiuwen chose during his master's stage was the relationship between geotric structures and Lie groups.
His thesis topic was "The Role of Lie Groups in Special Geotric Structures and an Application in Topological Quantum Computing."
Therefore, the first half of his exam paper consisted of a series of questions revolving around the role of higher-dinsional Lie groups in complex geotric structures. If he had slacked off during his master's stage, it would have been impossible for him to score high marks.
Even without much progress in his master's research, he wouldn't be able to handle such a paper.
Luckily, during his doctoral studies, Luo Jiuwen's research direction remained in Lie groups, mainly utilizing abstract algebra, complex geotry, Lie group theory, and higher algebraic structures to construct mathematical models for generalized geotry.
So the difficulty of this exam paper wasn't really that challenging for him.
At least after finishing the paper, Luo Jiuwen still felt pretty good about it.
Especially the last question.
"Please present a recent research topic you have been considering and plan to apply for, briefly describe the research motivation, main objectives, thods used, key discoveries, and derive its potential application directions."
This question even provoked a desire in Luo Jiuwen to pour out his thoughts.
He almost completed a summary in the form of an abstract for a paper titled "Application of Generalized Geotric Structures of Higher Lie Groups in Theoretical Physics."
Regardless of the results, at least after writing the last word, Luo Jiuwen actually felt a sense of exertion satisfaction.
But obviously, not everyone felt as satisfied as Luo Jiuwen did.
At least when Luo Jiuwen withdrew from his focused exam state and started to look around, he found that many people around him were staring at their papers with grim expressions...
It's clear that there's still a significant difference between academic elites.
Especially in the exam hall, even though the highest academic qualification of the participants is all doctorates, and many have been at a postdoctoral level for years, earning the title of academic elites in the eyes of ordinary people, when gathered together, their abilities are still distinctly apparent.
Until the bell ending the exam rang, and everyone put down their pens, their emotions were evidently different.
...
"Qiao, I heard you went to see Principal Chen today?"
Su Mucheng burst into the office happily, drank a glass of water, and then asked.
"Yeah, the Mathematics Research Institute needs to recruit a few hundred people, but there are no living quarters. Uncle Li asked to communicate with the school and figure sothing out."
"Did it work out?"
"Yeah, the school lent us three dormitory buildings."
"Heh, Principal Chen is quite generous."
Hearing this, Qiao Ze put down his pen, stood up, stretched, and replied, "Generous because I'm useful to him."
"Huh? Qiao, what's up? Did Principal Chen give you a hard ti today?" Su Mucheng curiously asked, feeling that Qiao Ze seed a bit dissatisfied with Principal Chen.
Qiao Ze shook his head slightly, "No."
"Then why did you say that?" Su Mucheng couldn't help but ask.
"It's a fact," Qiao Ze managed to say.
Su Mucheng pursed her lips and said, "Qiao, you should say you're useful to the country; your contribution is imnse."
Qiao Ze shook his head and said, "The concept of a country is too large. The smooth progress I have is first and foremost because my research or the research of the Mathematics Research Institute is very useful to individuals like Chen Yuanzhi, and through these specific individuals, it expands outward until the concept of the collective and the country erges.
Like the Mathematics Research Institute recruiting people, many are willing to participate because we can offer positions, better treatnt, and career paths.
Similarly, the support I receive, whether from the school or higher levels, is primarily because I'm very useful to those countless individuals within the school, city, or country who support . The developnt of the Mathematics Research Institute can help a specific group of people gain attention, even aid these people in promotion, profit, which is the core factor."
"Uh..." Su Mucheng felt that Qiao Ze made sense, yet also felt that Qiao Ze saw through everything too clearly, wondering if it was too exhausting to think this way, not knowing what to say for a mont. Qiao, what's wrong? Why are you suddenly thinking about this...
"I just looked at the first batch of test reports and data sent by the deep-sea cluster test departnt, and I'm thinking about how to combine the interests of the whole with those of individuals if I want to undertake sothing very complex. After all, any matter looks different from an individual's perspective than from a collective one, and ultimately, it's impossible for everyone to be satisfied."
Qiao Ze mused, summarizing.
"Hmm... Qiao, are you planning to do sothing big? What is it?" Su Mucheng asked, unsure.
From her perspective and that of many ordinary people, Qiao Ze's usual activities were already significant undertakings.
So when sothing needed her Qiao's careful thought and rare exclamation in front of her, she couldn't imagine how big the matter must be.
Qiao Ze shook his head again, saying, "Nothing. We're still in the early stages, and it's too soon to think about this. The biggest task right now is getting the research institute's developnt on track."
"Oh." Su Mucheng nodded, although she felt Qiao Ze was acting a bit strange today, she didn't continue to question further.
Having been together for a while, Su Mucheng knew very well that Qiao Ze would never hide sothing he was willing to discuss with her. If Qiao Ze didn't want to talk about sothing, it was futile to ask more.
Her man was just so principled.
"By the way, Ying and I toured the entire building today..."
"Hmm, tired?"
"A little, this building is just too big!"
"Rest early today."
"Okay!"
...
Thanks to the developed high-speed rail system, Luo Jiuwen returned to Yanbei University that night.
Although it was a bit tiring, and the timing needed to be precise, for him and Xin Zhenyang, it was undoubtedly the best way to handle things.
If they could get into the Xilin Mathematics Research Institute, that would naturally be better, but if not, Yanbei University was still quite good...
Given the school's current state of tension, it was best not to let the leaders know they had taken the test at Xilin Mathematics Research Institute.
What Luo Jiuwen didn't expect was that even though he returned to Yanbei University late at night, Xin Zhenyang still found his dormitory.
While he was still single, Xin Zhenyang already had a family.
"You're still not asleep this late?"
"Can't sleep. So, how did you do on the test?"
"Not bad."
"Well, maybe we could be colleagues at Xilin."
"Ha, you're that confident in yourself?"
"What do you an by confidence? I've already received the offer from Xilin Mathematics Research Institute."
"Huh? That fast?"
"That's why I can't sleep! I'm still thinking if we should wait for your results to co out and then go talk to the leaders together. You wouldn't believe it, Yang from the School of Mathematics was found out to have applied to Xilin Mathematics Research Institute, and the director called him in for a scolding today... just thinking about it gives a headache."
"Didn't you say your advisor supports you in taking the test? Now that you've passed, what are you worried about? If you really can't face it, just have Professor Zhang speak for you, can't you?"
"Co on, Professor Luo, I never thought you'd be so straightforward! My advisor can't openly support this, alright? Even if he supports privately, I'm going to Xilin doesn't an my advisor doesn't have to stay with Yanbei. Publicly, Professor Zhang might even have to scold in front of the director! Plan on having enough confidence, then we can face the heat together."
"I... alright!"
