Super God-Level Top Student

When the formula for the general solution illuminated the big screen, the audience below was first dumbfounded, and then exclamations in various languages were incessant, followed by countless cellphones being pulled out, looking down from the podium, everyone began to take photos of the results Qiao Ze provided.

If this was the surprise Xu Dajiang mentioned, then this surprise was perhaps a bit too overwhelming.

The young man on stage actually computed the general solution for the Yang-Mills Equations?

Then, how far could we be from completely solving the mass gap problem?

In the first row, Yang, after staring at the general solution Qiao Ze provided for a long while, turned his head in astonishment to Li Jian Gao beside him and asked, "Did you know about this?"

Li Jian Gao shook his head blankly, his amazement no less than anyone else in the venue.

He only knew that Qiao Ze had been in seclusion recently, but what exactly he was researching in seclusion, he really hadn't inquired.

Behind him, Edward Whitten had already taken a picture of the formula, edited it, sent it in an email, and then made a phone call.

"Hello, Neo, I just sent the general solution for the Yang-Mills Equations to your email, please immediately verify it using my dedicated channel."

"Huh? Mr. Whitten? What did you just say? The general solution to the Yang-Mills Equations?"

"Yes, you heard correctly. I thought that coming to Huaxia this time was just to attend a report on the existence of the solution, but who would have thought that as soon as the conference began, that young kid directly provided the general solution," Whitten said.

"Is that so? Incredible! Well then, Mr. Whitten, although I've already gone home, seeing as it's the general solution of the Yang-Mills Equations, I'm willing to work overtime."

"Thank you, Neo, check your email."

After finishing, Edward Witten hung up the phone, and several people immediately approached him to chat.

"Edward, do you think Qiao Ze's general solution is correct?" Roth Dugan asked, still thick with astonishment in his tone.

Edward Whitten pursed his lips and answered, "I'm not a mathematician, nor do I study PDEs, so if you ask me whether it's correct, perhaps Daniel would understand."

This response shocked Roth Dugan to the point of being speechless for a moment, then he glanced at Daniel, who was still dumbfounded beside him...

Ever since Edward Whitten started making phone calls to request supercomputer verification, this guy started to space out, seemingly no longer reliable. Not wanting to bother with the two people next to him any longer, Roth Dugan turned his head, just in time to see the young European mathematician, Peter Schultz, intently staring at the screen, which brightened his eyes.

"Hey, Peter, do you think it's correct?"

"Ah?" The young man recognized as the most likely to solve the grand unification problem of mathematics glanced at Roth Dugan absent-mindedly, then smirked and countered, "Professor Dugan, are you serious?"

"What do you mean?"

"Do you really think someone's brain can outperform a supercomputer?"

"Uh..."

"Professor Dugan, this is not something mathematicians can do, computers must do this."

"Of course, I know. I'm talking about intuition... Has everyone's mathematical intuition failed?"

"Heh... Regarding that, who would dare rely on intuition? Not to mention there's no proof yet. However, from another angle, if I hadn't verified the accuracy of the results, I definitely wouldn't dare to publicly announce the general solution in such a setting."

...

At the same time, nearly all the professors in the front row who could contact a supercomputer were busy.

Fortunately, many professors came from the same school, so having one representative make a phone call, the others tacitly began to discuss.

A group of professors from Yanbei University was the very first to make a call back through Zhang Hongcai.

"Has the school started verification yet?" asked Qian Yuhai anxiously.

"Yes, I've ordered it, and to complete programming within half an hour, and then immediately get it onto the supercomputer. Oh, and use Hua Academy of Sciences' Tianhe-1 for verification," Zhang Hongcai answered curtly.

Yanbei had its own supercomputing platform, but of course, it couldn't compare to the speed of those national supercomputing platforms.

Apart from that, Huaqing, Harvard, Columbia University, Clay Institute...

All organizations capable of performing verification sent out the news at the first opportunity.

As for those scholars and students at the back who couldn't mobilize a supercomputer, they were also not idle.

Twitter, Facebook, domestic Moments, Weibo, Zhihu, and other social, Q&A websites became the main battleground.

"Oh my god, you definitely wouldn't believe what I saw. The general solution for the Yang-Mills Equations! I'm witnessing it firsthand! If the result is correct, am I part of history?"

"Crazy, everyone's crazy! Not just us who can't sit still, even those big-shot professors up front can't sit still!"

"Big news, at Qiao Ze's thousand-person conference, the general solution for Yang-Mills Equations was presented, none of the academic heavyweights dared to question it at the scene!"

"So excited, and I hope the general solution is correct because after listening to Qiao Ze's explanation, my PhD thesis now has a direction!"

"Asking for help, how do you verify this thing? Crying, undergrads have no rights at all! I specifically went to study the Yang-Mills Equations yesterday and realized I couldn't understand, and today seeing this general solution, I still don't understand!"

"Buddy, just a reminder, the guy on stage is also an undergrad. Seems like he's a sophomore, you know!"

...

On stage, Qiao Ze paid no attention to the hubbub below.

He was just silently waiting for ten minutes to pass in his heart.

Then he picked up the chalk and walked to the first blackboard.
