United States, Langley Suburb, on the border of Virginia and Washington D.C.
Two buildings hidden within the bustling comrcial district. In a spacious and bright office in the New Headquarter Building to the west, Director Burns is listening to a briefing.
"...you just ntioned that the mathematician from Huaxia, Qiao Yu, solved the Riemann Hypothesis, so is this remarkable?"
"Yes, the Riemann Hypothesis is one of the most significant challenges in the field of mathematics."
"So will this issue have any negative impact on national security? For instance, if Huaxia has the answer, could it pose a threat to us?"
"Well, actually, it can’t be understood that way. Simply put, the solution to this problem is open to the world. The verification of the answer includes mathematicians from the United States. It’s just that it was solved..."
"Oh, no need to say more, I understand what you an. He is a theoretical mathematician."
"Yes!"
"Alright, I understand. Although Johnson is a professional, this problem isn’t that simple. We don’t need to provoke Huaxia over a theoretical mathematician right now.
Their favorite thing to do is to share their research with the world, just as science has no borders, right? So there’s no need to be so tense, relax a bit."
"But..."
"No buts, we all know this is not a good ti. Of course, we can try to persuade him to stay. After all, this is a wonderful country, where the environnt for communication is more liberal.
So maybe we should think of ways in this direction. After all, Qiao Yu is still so young, maybe you can try to make him realize how wonderful it is here. Don’t you think?"
"Of course, it’s a good idea."
"Then let’s do that." Burns finally nodded, setting the general direction.
He doesn’t need to deal with specific matters, actually, it’s pretty much the sa around the world; the professionals handle the details.
But he needs to steer the overall direction and constrain those professional aides. After all, these specialists often lack a broader perspective.
Although Burns doesn’t understand mathematics, he understands the current situation! Are you joking? At this mont, provoke Huaxia over a theoretical math genius?
Do you really think it’s still twenty years ago? He doesn’t want to take the bla for such trivialities before he’s even settled in his position.
If we really need to do sothing, at least wait until Arlington County can actually mobilize first.
A bunch of teammates no better than pigs!
...
Huaxia, Beijing.
Qiao Yu is not really concerned about how Frank is doing, nor whether he’s been listed in so places.
No way, his life has been too fulfilling recently. There’s simply no ti to think about any other random things.
Almost all the piled-up tasks at the Xiyu Computational Platform are completed. There is still about half a month before the World Mathematician Conference starts on July 23rd.
So Qiao Yu considered taking a trip back to Star City again.
After all, he had done almost everything he needed to do in Beijing. The visa to attend the World Mathematician Conference has also been obtained.
Even if the Xiyu Computational Platform hasn’t completely t the expected requirents, that’s because the computing office isn’t pulling its weight; it has nothing to do with him.
Speaking of which, he hasn’t gone back to his hotown for a look for a long ti, definitely not for the sake of returning in glory or continuing any romantic pursuits.
The main purpose is to deliver the manuscript to Zhou Shuang. Not to ntion, it’s sumr vacation. It’s only natural for students to go ho during breaks.
Most importantly, no matter in Yanbei or Huaqing, Qiao Yu feels like he really can’t stand it anymore.
Almost every day, professors visit him by fa, discussing a bunch of various math problems with him. For example, the future developnt direction of mathematics under the modal axiomatic system.
Qiao Yu felt his brain was already spinning.
Especially with those working on partial differential equations, it’s truly exasperating for Qiao Yu. They even want to transform the solutions of partial differential equations into a geotric flow problem on the Modal Path Γ.
According to these professors, many solutions to partial differential equations can be handled using thods like separation of variables or eigen decomposition, such as Fourier or eigendecomposition.
In so sense, the generalized modal axiomatic system provides a natural frawork to utilize these characteristic modes as basis vectors in the modal space.
Theoretically, this way allows for further introduction of Modal Path Γ to quantify the relationships between these modes, and even geotrize nonlinear terms.
Qiao Yu thought they made a lot of sense, but the problem is that he has no interest in the field of partial differential equations.
However, Director Tian happens to have research in partial differential equations. Hence, many who visit him by reputation are his fellow junior brothers. These people might beco his supports in the future, so it’s hard to chase them away, but talking feels tiring...
Under these circumstances, if he could go ho with Qiao Xi for a while, he could smoothly avoid those knowledge-thirsty professors and have a perfect sumr vacation.
To say it a thousand tis, wouldn’t it be much more enjoyable to bask in Xia Keke’s admiring gaze, and be praised in that soft southern accent, than to be harassed by a bunch of professors every day?
Unfortunately, Tian Yanzhen turned down his every whim with a few words.
"You still want to go to the Philadelphia conference? Still want to get the prize money?"
"Of course I want to go, maybe I can even win the Fields dal! Shifu Grandpa said he wants to see win the prize with his own eyes."
"There you go. Do you think going to Philadelphia is just about taking a plane there and back? You’ll have class in a couple of days."
