Su Mucheng unconsciously stuck out her tongue.

Even though she didn't understand, she was glad that Qiao was willing to share it with her.

"But Qiao, why are you so obsessed with solving this problem? We're not short on money, right? And I think just by getting this far, you've already left too many people behind, so there's no need to rush, is there? You've even lost weight recently, shouldn't you rest a bit?"

"I'm not doing this research for fame or profit."

After saying this, Qiao Ze thought for a moment, then put down the pen and paper he had been holding, and spoke earnestly, "Do you remember what I told you about how, when you see an equation, you should be able to envision its geometric shape?"

Su Mucheng nodded; of course she remembered.

"But the microscopic world is different. Even the most advanced electron microscopes can't peer into the events particles experience in extremely short spaces and times at certain scales. Even now, our understanding and depiction of the microscopic world are based on vague conjectures."

"So, you want to see something like the Yang-Mills Equations and also imagine what the microscopic world looks like?" Su Mucheng tilted her head and couldn't help but interject, which was quite thrilling.

Qiao Ze nodded slightly and said, "Do you know why Yang-Mills Theory is so fascinating? The theory predicts the existence of a group of gauge bosons in the microscopic world, known as gluons. These gluons mediate the strong interaction, similar to how photons mediate electromagnetic interaction.

Interestingly, like photons, these gluons are massless, so the interactions between the gluons are non-Abelian. This gives Yang-Mills Theory some very unique properties and also forms the basis of Quantum Chromodynamics.

So if I can solve this problem, I could catch a glimpse of the truth of the microscopic world. It's like how we can see the world clearly with our eyes because of the existence of photons. If I can understand the significance of these massless gluons' existence, it's like lighting up the world of the microscopic."

With admiration, Su Mucheng looked at Qiao Ze and asked, "So it's like you can see what the microscopic world looks like in your mind?"

After considering for a moment, Qiao Ze nodded and replied, "Something like that. Plus, I plan to use the complete proof of the mass gap hypothesis as my graduation thesis."

"Ha, that's just too cool!" Su Mucheng said joyfully.

After their simple conversation, Qiao Ze believed that Su Mucheng should be able to understand him now.

Indeed, that was the case.

After Qiao Ze finished speaking and picked up his pen again, returning to his work, Su Mucheng couldn't help but take out her phone and secretly snap a photo.

At that moment, Qiao Ze looked incredibly handsome!

...

This report meeting itself was uninteresting, but everyone was actually able to find their own joy in it.

Even the internet was gradually starting to buzz.

It was, after all, a report meeting of a thousand people, and the news coming out of this meeting was indeed stimulating, so countless self-media outlets started to pounce on the story.

"Huaxia sophomore conquers one of the seven Millennium Prize Problems, leaving a room full of international professors speechless!"

"Proudly representing our nation, a Huaxia youth solves the Yang-Mills Equation at a gathering of two thousand!"

"The always-trustworthy Huaxia math genius stuns at the report meeting by solving a Millennium Prize Problem!"

The headlines from these self-media were still somewhat conscientious.

"The 19-year-old Huaxia prodigy who silenced Newton and made Einstein weep, what on earth did he do?!"

"Huaxia genius scolds numerous Fields and Nobel laureates as fools at his report meeting!"

"After Qiao Ze finished his report, countless Nobel Prize laureates exclaimed: My God, he's completed the Grand Unified Theory!"

"The 19-year-old from Huaxia aims at the Fields Medal in his report meeting, former Fields Medalist exclaims: I'm on my knees!"

...

Actually, academic matters usually took a day or two to reach the internet, due to timeliness issues. But this time was a bit special. Not long before, Qiao Ze had just analyzed many problems with Jieqing projects online, and the buzz hadn't completely dissipated. Yesterday, Everybody Daily had just published an interview with Qiao Ze, which was still trending on social media.

The scale of Qiao Ze's report meeting of a thousand people had indeed attracted a lot of attention.

And on top of that, there were a few hundred attendees at the meeting who understood nothing and just went to experience a top-level conference; these people, the main force on the internet, couldn't quite grasp what Qiao Ze was talking about, but they were slick at recording videos with the latest phones and uploading them online...

With the high-profile identities of the report meeting's participants and some who love to stir up trouble sharing videos online of Qiao Ze scolding the meeting's discipline, the information on the internet virtually skipped the fermentation stage and exploded directly.
