Top Student at Their Peak Chapter 672 - 208: Got a Free Ride!

"Examination?"

In the small eting room of the Chinese Academy of Sciences building, Zhou Liang, deputy director of the Bureau of Frontier Science and Basic Research at the Huaxia Science Academy, repeated Qiao Yu’s words, then looked suspiciously at Tian Yanzhen.

Old Tian didn’t seem to say it like that before...

However, Tian Yanzhen did not respond, he didn’t even look at the other party, instead focusing his attention on the teacup in front of him.

As if he was studying the trajectory of gas molecules?

"Yes, examination. I’ve even prepared the questions, mainly on topics like the modal space under the Generalized Modal Axiomatic System, modal energy functions, modal paths, and the spectral distribution of random matrices."

Qiao Yu nodded seriously, confirming that none of the bigwigs present at the eting had misheard.

"Since my project has been approved, it also indicates that everyone acknowledges the importance of this project. The composition of the project mbers can be recomnded by you, but they must take the examination.

If their written test scores don’t et the standard, then joining the research group would incur a significant learning cost, which is unacceptable to .

Just like Director Tian has always told , efficiency is the lifeblood of a mathematician. That’s how I’ve always worked. So any mber who might slow down the research progress can’t possibly join the group."

Qiao Yu stated with determination.

The eting room fell into silence. In fact, everyone knew Qiao Yu was a person with ideas, but no one expected him to be this thoughtful.

Although Qiao Yu had already won the Fields dal, his age inevitably gave many people so illusions.

After all, he’s only seventeen, still immature.

But when encountering tricky problems, you’ll find that immaturity, representing youthful arrogance, is even harder to manage. After all, no one wants to provoke a young man who likes to flip the table at any mont.

Although this was Qiao Yu’s first ti at the Academy of Sciences, his achievents are verifiable.

For example, when he proposed the Generalized Modal Axiomatic System back then, Zhang Yuanling from Shuangdan University only questioned the feasibility of the system during the inquiry stage, and Qiao Yu decisively withdrew the project application.

Just withdrawing an application is actually not much. People in the research community with tempers have been seen often, no one finds it strange anymore.

The key is, this guy completed the project in just a few months, not even a year. More importantly, this project sparked a wave in the international mathematics community that hasn’t subsided yet.

But these are still not the most important.

Although Qiao Yu only withdrew one application and did not give any comnts on the matter afterward, it was not a good year for Zhang Yuanling and Shuangdan University behind him.

Don’t think it’s just sothing people joke about when they et.

In fact, competitors will always be at odds in any industry, even in mathematical research.

Shuangdan University, after all, ranks among the top universities nationwide and is located in the most affluent municipality of Huaxia. It naturally enjoys abundant resources.

Previously, seeing Shuangdan’s strong position, no one would say anything, but this ti Zhang Yuanling stumbled in project review, and during last year’s end eting on resource allocation, his words clearly carried less weight.

Especially as many originally neutral academicians began to harbor dissatisfaction with Old Zhang.

Well, if you had simply agreed to this project, everyone would have gotten so credit. But you ssed things up, you must pay so price, right?

The end result is that nobody is pleased. At least this year, Zhang Yuanling failed to secure several major research topics and projects for Shuangdan.

Although no one ntioned any connection to Qiao Yu’s matter before, it’s jokingly brought up whenever people et.

But if you dig deep into every matter, so impressions subtly change many people’s thoughts.

A critical research project, applied for by a Fields dal laureate, directly involves cutting-edge technology and is closely related to internet and financial security.

While selecting candidates, they would certainly consider capable people, but to claim that no one wants to sneak a few in for a free ride to gain credentials is impossible.

In national projects, holding a position among the top five or becoming a major participant offers substantial benefits for future title evaluations or project applications.

So, if not 100%, in most research projects, there are people inserted through personal connections, sotis even holding positions more prominent than many contributing mbers.

This is not just in Huaxia; it’s similar worldwide.

After all, mingling in this circle without getting involved in personal favors is nearly impossible. You help today; next ti I’ll help you; thus, the circle forms.

But clearly, for a young person like Qiao Yu, who just slamd into the academic circle, he truly has the confidence to ignore this.

Therefore, when Qiao Yu made this request, many eyes turned to Tian Yanzhen.

Unfortunately, Tian Yanzhen remained as motionless as a mountain, sitting like a sculptured statue, gazing at the teacup before him, as if contemplating so universal truth.

There was no other way, so finally, Zhou Liang broke the silence, smiling as he asked, "Qiao Yu, could you disclose so details? For instance, how many questions are there in total? Do all project team mbers need to take the exam, or just the core mbers?"

Asking so specifically?

Qiao Yu thought for a mont, then replied, "Ten questions, each worth ten points, for a total of one hundred points. I don’t care about core mbers or auxiliary personnel; anyway, anyone who wants to share the project team’s future results, be it economic results, paper authorship, or anything else, must take the exam.
