At the sa ti, Qiao Yu was giving a lecture to the new students of the science departnts of Huaqing University and Yanbei University in the century-old auditorium of Yanbei University.
The ti Richard and Thomas landed on the Moon was around 3:20 PM Huaxia Ti.
This timing was obviously not friendly to West University, but there was no choice. His focus was on arousing curiosity among them.
It’s impossible to cater to everyone’s schedule.
As for why he didn’t personally watch the live broadcast, there were mainly two reasons.
Qiao Yu was the chief director of the lunar landing program, and he was fully aware of the progress in the construction of the Moon Base.
His computer not only contained the complete design diagrams of the research base but also received high-definition images daily.
He had watched that place evolve from a ssy heap of soil to gradually beco neat and orderly on a day-to-day basis.
So there was no novelty left for him.
Moreover, he had always wanted to personally visit the Moon.
The Moon Base, precious as gold, had specially prepared a roughly twenty-square-ter office for him.
Do not underestimate this twenty square ters. If its value was truly calculated, it would require at least ten mansions like that of Bill Gates, which was valued at 170 million US Dollars back then, to exchange for it.
This calculation is based on the US Dollar value of the past decade. If recalculated for today’s value, it would need to be doubled.
Yet it amounted to nothing.
Because even though Qiao Yu had long desired to see the Moon in person and even submitted an application, unfortunately, it wasn’t approved.
It could be said that ever since Qiao Yu received the Fields dal, nearly everything went his way, except for this matter. Despite calculations indicating that the safety coefficient had already reached over eighty, it was directly denied from above.
No room for negotiation whatsoever.
Specifically, Qiao Yu couldn’t change the outco, no matter who he approached. After all, the review process for boarding a spaceship was excessively arduous and difficult.
No one dared to let him onboard.
Thus, he simply chose this ti to give a lecture to the special class of students from Yanbei University and Huaqing University.
This was a task assigned to him by the school.
Qiao Yu is currently the only professor at both schools with an official professorship, but without mandatory teaching requirents.
Therefore, he felt a bit embarrassed to refuse the school’s arrangent for him to lecture a group of young talents each year.
According to the school leaders, this was using him as an academic idol. After all, Qiao Yu was the absolute idol in the hearts of the new generation of talented youth, the youngest Fields dal recipient in the world...
Moreover, he was the only scholar in the world to receive the highest prize in mathematics before turning twenty.
He also solved the century-old mathematical problem, the Riemann Conjecture, proposed and perfected a mathematical frawork, and used this frawork to solve several real technical issues for Huaxia...
For the new generation of young people who truly love mathematics, if Qiao Yu isn’t an idol, they truly don’t know who else to admire.
Even renowned mathematicians in history, including Newton, Riemann, Gauss, Fermat, etc., seem a bit inferior compared to him.
Von Neumann can only be said to resemble Qiao Yu in so ways.
Especially since Qiao Yu’s nurous achievents are undisputed in modern tis.
Even the system he constructed is now directly nad after him.
Just like Calculus was not nad Newton’s Calculus or Leibniz’s Calculus...
Not even Qiao Yu’s ntor dared to claim credit.
This isn’t speculation but the exact words spoken by Tian Yanzhen during an interview.
Old Tian even jokingly said to the host at the ti.
"Don’t you dare associate Qiao Yu’s accomplishnts with as if I was related. I wouldn’t dare claim them.
Actually, in the mathematics world, a ntor’s help to a student is minimal. We can only help students choose a topic.
If I dared to claim this credit rashly, my own ntor would probably be furious. Don’t cause trouble."
This remark made the reporter quite awkward at that ti.
However, there was nothing he could do. Tian Yanzhen knew very well that if the reporter’s line "You must have greatly assisted Qiao Yu over the years, right?" reached Elder Yuan’s ears, he would be harshly rebuked.
Overall, the promotions and hype over the years have indeed sowhat mythologized Qiao Yu.
The teachers who teach mathematics and especially the Olympic Competition often ntion Qiao Yu.
Mainly because now the competition questions incorporate foundational topics of Qiao Algebraic Geotry.
Mainly focusing on understanding modal numbers.
For example, given a modal number, verify whether there’s a modular inverse allowing a modal equation to hold.
Such as:
And Qiao Algebraic Geotry’s geotric interpretations:
It’s mainly because the math community discovered that using the basic concepts of Qiao Algebraic Geotry to select young mathematical talents is genuinely reliable.
If one cannot truly understand those abstract mathematical concepts, rely drilling questions makes it incredibly difficult to fully grasp this frawork.
Of course, this not only raised the bar for students but also demanded more from today’s Olympic coaches.
After all, they must understand in order to teach students. So, when coaches have exerted themselves to the point of balding, inevitably ntioning the young Qiao Yu a few tis while explaining questions.
Especially since Qiao Yu is not only living well, but he’s younger than these Olympic coaches.
Indeed, he achieved the remarkable feat of still being alive and causing countless students and coaches to complain privately.
But admiration is real, especially for those selected to join the Olympics new generation.
The difficulties encountered in learning this make one wonder how the person who created it thinks?
