"It’s your excellent teaching, and as long as you take good care of yourself, you’ll surely see what the future of mathematics will be like."
Zheng Xiweng echoed Tian Yanzhen’s words.
To be honest, whether it’s the mathematics of the past or the future, it all seems the sa to Zheng Xiweng.
After all, anything beyond high school level, he’s at a loss to understand.
This thing is called mathematics, ostensibly the study of numbers. But in the hands of mathematicians, it becos a mix of strange letters and symbols.
"You don’t understand... Let put it this way: his idea implies that every compact symplectic manifold has a canonical arithtic-geotric realization, an extension of the original model axiom system. He’s not just proving turbulence; if followed, many puzzles troubling academia could be resolved..."
Tian Yanzhen rambled on the phone saying things Zheng Xiweng couldn’t comprehend.
Although Zheng Xiweng knew this math expert was trying his best to explain it in understandable terms for him.
But unavoidable, he still couldn’t get it. Luckily, Zheng Xiweng was patient, just listening quietly.
"...You know? We can’t wait for the next mathematician conference; we must have Qiao Yu present the complete proof process promptly.
These must be quickly included in the standard reference theorem set. By the way, Qiao Yu doesn’t have any other plans tomorrow, right?"
Finally, a question that Zheng Xiweng could comprehend...
"It’s currently scheduled regularly, nothing special."
"Alright, I’ll et him at the research center tomorrow morning. You should rest early too. I’ll hang up now. Doot... doot... doot..."
Listening to the busy signal on the phone, Zheng Xiweng shook his head helplessly.
Mathematicians, huh...
...
anwhile, in a hotel opposite the Huaxia astronaut research center.
Excited all day, the kids were asleep early. The once energetic Richard was now tired, leaning against the headboard, lighting a cigarette.
His wife lay lazily beside him, smiling as she looked at her man, casually asking, "You haven’t smoked for quite a while."
"Yeah, my mind’s a ss, passed by the supermarket and bought a pack, plus, you know, cigarettes are cheap in Huaxia."
Richard explained.
"Hmm, we should have vacationed in Huaxia a long ti ago," the wife said unconcernedly.
"Oh? Just because cigarettes are cheap?" Richard asked casually.
"No, it’s because we haven’t had such passionate tis in a long while. Don’t you feel more capable since coming to Huaxia?"
There was pure satisfaction in the woman’s tone as she said this.
Richard was silent.
Well, this actually had nothing to do with Huaxia. It was entirely because his mind was full of Qiao Yu’s suggestions.
Moving into the white house, changing the lives of countless ordinary people...
Just thinking that he might have this opportunity made Richard too excited to contain himself...
Honestly, he had just considered this room the white house in his mind. That feeling was indeed different.
It felt like the whole person was floating on clouds.
"Lisa, if I want to move into the white house in the future, will you support ?"
Richard suddenly asked.
His wife paused for a mont, then laughed, "Of course, dear! I’ll support whatever you want to do!
And why would I oppose moving into the white house? I heard it’s very big, and there’s a huge bunker underneath!
Maybe we can convert the bunker to look like our bedroom in Philadelphia. That would certainly be thrilling."
Richard John shook his head, then extinguished his cigarette, turned to face his wife, and said, "I’m serious, Lisa.
Today, when I took Thomas to et Professor Qiao, he listened to much of what I said. Then he made a decision.
After we return from our vacation to the moon this ti, he wants to support in following this path. I don’t know how he’s going to arrange it, but Professor Qiao said he’ll have many influential people supporting !"
After finishing, Richard John paused, emphasizing, "Real influential people, including but not limited to..."
Then Richard John listed several familiar nas.
All these people, of course, possess enviable vast wealth.
His wife’s smile gradually faded, and she was a little bewildered.
After coming to herself, she took a deep breath, opened her mouth but couldn’t utter a word.
"I know how you feel now; it’s actually how I felt this afternoon. I can’t describe it.
But I’ve thought it over carefully, and Professor Qiao is right. I need to stand up and tell more people like that we could have better lives...
At the very least, we can live with dignity, not just barely scraping by on food bank aid. An illness shouldn’t be able to rob us of everything.
Professor Qiao is right; if people can’t earn a dignified living through hard work, then there’s sothing wrong with society.
Our society is sick and needs soone to save it! I think I should stand up, so would you support unconditionally, Lisa?"
Richard beca more and more excited as he spoke.
Fortunately, after the initial shock, his wife regained her composure and imdiately nodded in agreent, "Of course, Richard! Just like before, no matter what, I’ll always support you."
As she said this, she directly held Richard’s hand.
Her heart raced with excitent and a hint of anticipation for the future.
Three years ago, she felt life was probably just like that.
It was almost foreseeable. She only hoped to raise the three children smoothly.
Who knew Huaxia people suddenly started infrastructure projects.
She still rembered that day when she and Richard sat as usual on the balcony.
After their old house was expropriated, the governnt provided them with a temporary transition house.
Richard looked at the bustling construction site in the distance and suddenly said to her, "Lisa, what if I apply for a job at the Huaxia people’s construction site? They’re building many tall buildings, and construction of tall buildings requires a lot of welders."
She still rembers that although she was indifferent at the ti, she habitually replied, "Of course, Richard. If you want to do work you like, why not?"
Then, Richard imdiately changed into the most decent set of clothes he had at ho and went out. Even though that outfit was also second-hand from a thrift store.
Before he left, while helping Richard tidy up his clothes, she actually held no hope.
But who would have thought that from then on, the family’s life began to change drastically...
Honestly, at this mont, she was very satisfied. She had never cared about her figure or appearance before.
But now she could even keep up with fashion trends and go to the beauty salon once a week for maintenance...
At this mont, it felt like she returned to that afternoon as she was sending Richard out.
If Richard can really succeed this ti... well, Huaxia people are always good at creating miracles.
Thinking she might have the chance to be in the spotlight in the future made her heart suddenly race...
"If you really want to pursue this direction, you should certainly perform well in the docuntary!"
His wife suggested.
"Hmm?" Richard turned to look at his now-aging wife.
"Michael Roddy said this docuntary would be broadcast worldwide. You’ll beco a household na.
This is effectively your first exposure to the public! The initial impression is crucial! It’s like those debate competitions...
Forgive , I don’t know how to articulate. My point is, if you’re serious about pursuing this opportunity, perhaps from now on, when you’re interacting with Michael, you should express more of your ideas in this regard.
Don’t be afraid of saying the wrong thing, the most important thing is to express yourself. Don’t you think those on television debates, although often foolish, are particularly daring to express themselves?"
Richard nodded thoughtfully.
Indeed, this ongoing docuntary was certainly his best opportunity.
