Super God-Level Top Student

Roth Dugan smiled and added a sentence.

This was a clear gesture of goodwill. The Dean of the Princeton Mathematics Institute and the editor-in-chief of "Mathematics Annual" was, at this moment, extending the highest courtesy to Qiao Ze.

After all, it cost him nothing.

If the final verification proved Qiao Ze was wrong, it would be as if this remark had never been said.

"Okay, Mr. Dugan, I will pass on your words to Qiao Ze," Xu Dajiang replied with a smile.

Of course, these were all pleasantries, and whether he would relay them depended on the circumstances.

In a certain sense, the two were still competitors.

"By the way, Dean Xu, if possible, I think you should persuade Qiao to compile his work on Super Helical Space Algebra into a textbook, from the basics to the advanced. That is what he should be doing right now, and it's even unrelated to whether the equation's validation is ultimately correct," Schultz said earnestly.

"Of course, I believe Qiao Ze would have this idea as well," Xu Dajiang agreed repeatedly.

...

Meanwhile, Li Jian, responsible for receiving professors from many domestic universities, had become the object of everyone's pursuit.

"Professor Li, your student today is truly establishing his own school! Here, I'll toast you with tea instead of wine," one said.

"Hehe..." Li Jian laughed, then raised his cup and took a sip of tea.

It was awkward; he couldn't very well say that Qiao Ze establishing his own school had nothing to do with him, nor could he just walk away, especially since the table was full of his seniors, including some academicians.

"Ah, Professor Li, truthfully, did Qiao Ze discuss his presentation today with you?" one asked.

"About that... I've been working on a Jieqing project recently, and I haven't had much contact with Qiao Ze."

"Oh, right, right, right. Ah, Li, I understand you. It must be quite stressful to have such a student, isn't it? Have you thought about letting someone share the burden?"

Luckily, Li Jian had specifically invited Zhang Chunlei, who always got along well with him, to join their table today.

"Haha, why bother, Academician Xu? Stress is inevitable, especially this kind of stress—I'd like to have it too, but they don't give me the chance! You don't know, when Li first met Qiao Ze, he even wanted to introduce Qiao Ze to me. Ah, it almost happened, but Qiao Ze was not willing!" Zhang said.

"Oh? Tell us in detail, what was the situation then?"

With these words, Zhang Chunlei successfully diverted the attention away from Li Jian, as the professors were indeed curious about the situation back then.

"At that time, we went to Xingcheng to attend an academic conference. During a tea meeting, Li brought Qiao Ze along—a high school student. While drinking tea, he started discussing Group Theory problems with me, and because of that, us few old fellows couldn't sleep all night—can you believe it?"

"Old Zhang, stop keeping us in suspense, what exactly happened?"

"Hehe... Can you believe that a high school student, after reading a paper for just over ten minutes, managed to find errors in a paper published in 'Mathematics Annual' by a famous group theory professor abroad? Can you believe it?" Experience more on My Virtual Library Empire

"Is that true?"

"Haha, it went like this back then..."

...

In the hotel's rest room, Qiao Ze had just put down the boxed meal Su Mucheng specially brought for him.

Qiao Ze did not resist eating with others, but it did not mean he enjoyed dining at the same table with a bunch of bigshots.

Especially when the final results had not yet been verified, Qiao Ze did not want to discuss or argue about academic matters with others.

It wasn't a waste of time, but mainly because Qiao Ze did not believe his work was done.

As he said during the presentation, he wanted to quickly prove the mass gap hypothesis and completely solve this Millennium problem.

Qiao Ze felt that only after completing the entire proposition would he be entitled to enjoy a period of leisure time.

Ordinary people probably find it hard to understand this mindset.

Why is there always a sense of urgency, as if time is running out, even though he's young enough?

In fact, the reason has nothing to do with time or age, it is simply because of Qiao Ze's personality.

If a problem is halfway solved and one can see the dawn of success ahead, stopping to think would feel like heart-wrenching anxiety.

So in the rest room, after having a simple meal, Qiao Ze began to write out the next stage's mind map.

He had just completed the mathematical analysis of the Yang-Mills Equations, and next, he intended to use this new series of mathematical tools to finally solve the mass gap problem...

"1. Examine how different masses (m) affect the solution of the field equations; 2. By adjusting the value of (m), observe how the band structure and the mass gap change; 3. Analyze whether there is an opening or closing of a mass gap under different (m) values, and its impact on the properties of the system..."

"Qiao, why are you still working on your research?"

"Hmm, because this problem hasn't been completely solved yet."

"What? Not solved yet?" Su Mucheng was stunned; from the reactions of the professors at the report meeting, she thought Qiao Ze had perfectly solved the problem.

"Right. There's still the most critical step. Only solving this step will mean the complete resolution of this Millennium puzzle. And the last step is the hardest—discussing the symmetry and topology of the Super Helix Equation and how these characteristics affect the structure of the solution to the field equations.

Besides, we have to analyze whether there is a phenomenon of symmetry breaking in the solutions of the superspiral field equations, which can be understood as whether the system's ground state breaks some superspiral symmetry... So it's quite complex, and only when all these issues are resolved, can we ultimately solve the mass gap problem."
