When Qiao Ze finished speaking, several big shots exchanged glances, finding his statement somewhat perplexing from their perspective.

"...Xu's future work will involve organizing concepts and examples related to Super Helical Space Algebra, and if you're interested, you could also participate in this endeavor,"

After a moment of contemplation, Roth Dugan, who was most familiar with Qiao Ze, was the first to ask, "First question, Qiao, you intend not to participate in this work."

Qiao Ze shook his head, having grown accustomed to the limited ability of mathematics professors to comprehend everyday conversation ever since he began interacting with Zhang Hongcai.

However, in light of the respect this big shot had always shown him, he added, "I've already agreed with Xu to hand over all the manuscripts related to Super Helical Space Algebra."

"I still don't quite understand, what do you need to be busy with?" Peter Schultz spread his hands and asked.

"The problem posed by the Clay Institute hasn't been resolved yet," Qiao Ze candidly replied.

"I believe that at least for now, no one understands superspiral space algebra better than you do. As for the mathematical description of the mass gap hypothesis... of course, we all really hope to see this issue resolved soon, but this does not conflict with simultaneously organizing the development of a new academic discipline,"

Edward Whitten said earnestly.

For a scholar who had published over 350 specialist monographs, the words of Edward Whitten carried significant weight.

Indeed, many theoretical academic advances depend on a continuous consolidation and deeper exploration of already researched conclusions.

"That's you, I don't need it," Qiao Ze, pointing to his own head, said.

His intended meaning was that the part of superspiral space algebra useful for solving problems was already in his mind, but the combination of this statement and gesture could easily cause a misunderstanding, particularly as Su Mucheng was not present to clarify during this exchange.

So, when he noticed the old gentleman's complexion sour, Qiao Ze kindly explained, "I prioritize efficiency."

"Ha-ha, well, efficiency is indeed critical, but I'm still confused. So what exactly are you hoping for us to do if we join?" Roth Dugan interjected, trying to smooth things over.

Although it currently seemed unlikely that Qiao Ze would join Princeton, he still hoped to maintain a good relationship between them.

"Our institute is short on people right now, and it will be challenging for Xu alone in the beginning. To complete the theoretical foundation, understand its mathematical principles, properties, and applications, more examples for case studies are needed, along with the development of visualization tools to improve its accessibility. There's too much work to be done,"

Qiao Ze replied methodically.

Lothar Du continued to inquire, "Okay, so what's in it for us?"

Qiao Ze answered, "A lifelong honorary professorship at the Xilin Institute of Mathematics."

This perk...

The group chuckled.

Xu Changshu, who was sitting beside Qiao Ze, felt rather embarrassed at this moment.

"Well, that's not very attractive," Peter Schultz said with a smile.

After pondering for a moment, Qiao Ze said, "Then forget it."

"Forget it? What do you mean?"

"Oh, just drop the matter."

"Hmm? I don't quite understand."

After glancing at Charles William, who had just spoken, Qiao Ze calmly explained, "Previously, the staff mentioned that several of you were very eager to systemize this research, and Xu said the same, so I thought you were willing to undertake this work. I was wrong, sorry."

"So... what are you saying?" Charles William asked, furrowing his brows.

It had to be said that at this moment, everyone in the room felt that non-academic communication with Qiao Ze was a tiresome affair.

During conferences, when Qiao Ze explained proof processes, although he was also succinct, he at least managed to convey the concepts clearly, even emphasizing the key parts.

But in this exchange, it seemed using a few extra words was exhausting, making it hard to keep up with his train of thought.

They say that in mathematics classes, a moment of distraction means you can no longer understand what's being discussed.

Qiao Ze had applied this mathematical traditional skill to daily conversation.

A moment's inattention and you missed a sentence, leaving you clueless about what he was saying.

Even if you listened carefully throughout, it was still hard to fully grasp the young man's purport.

It was a pity that Xu Dajiang wasn't there; otherwise, he might have exclaimed, "The world needs Su Mucheng,"

After all, when it came to understanding Qiao Ze, Su Mucheng was truly professional.

But today, Su Mucheng could not play her role; the professors were somewhat vague in their conversation, and since it was all in English, the girl did not dare to interject rashly.

Looking somewhat surprised at Charles William, Qiao Ze answered, "It means giving up on this issue."

"Give up? You don't plan to develop superspiral space algebra into a complete discipline, like calculus?" Peter Schultz asked, astonished.

"Correct,"

Qiao Ze nodded and then stood up to see off the guests, "That's all for today, goodbye."

For Qiao Ze, this was a very simple affair; everyone hoped to delve further into the discipline, and he certainly didn't mind giving it a push.

However, the others were not as interested as he thought, so naturally, he gave up on the idea.

They were all mathematicians and physicists, equal in character; if collaboration was possible, they would collaborate, if not, then goodbye.

That's how the logic of the world should be.

As long as it didn't affect his research, Qiao Ze had never thought to force others to do something for him.

At the minor end, Xu Changshu coming to Xilin; Liu Chenfeng driving for Su Mucheng and Lu Xiuxiu, carrying their heavy bags was all voluntarily offered; at the major side, the collaborations with Youwei and with the Optoelectronics Institute at the Hua Academy of Sciences were also initiated by the other parties.
