Super God-Level Top Student

Speaking of which, today, under the suggestions of many people, the fact that Qiao Ze was willing to proactively facilitate this matter with these academic heavyweights was already a very rare occurrence.

But since it wasn't effective, he certainly wouldn't insist.

After all, to Qiao Ze, it didn't matter whether others understood or not; as long as he understood, that was enough.

It was just that other people clearly weren't quite accustomed to Qiao Ze's style. Their brains even experienced a delay for a period of time, having hardly reacted at all.

However, when the host stood up and even said "good bye", Stay connected through My Virtual Library Empire

they could ultimately only stand to bid farewell.

Fortunately, for Roth Dugan, there was still something to gain.

"Qiao, is the paper about the Yang-Mills solution still being submitted to 'Mathematics Annual'?"

"Good."

Agreeing so readily, could it mean this young man wasn't angry?

That just made Roth Dugan even more puzzled.

If you're not angry, why chase people away?!

...

"Qiao, what exactly do you mean?"

"Hmm? Having us help him sort out the Super Helical Space Algebra is indeed a very meaningful task," said Edward Witten impassively.

He had just met with Qiao Ze, actually intending to discuss the understanding of this new algebra, but Qiao Ze didn't talk about this direction, and somehow the meeting broke up in confusion.

From start to finish, it seemed like all he had suggested was for Qiao Ze to participate in the compilation of scholarly works on the new algebra and then it ended with a refusal?

"This work is indeed very meaningful, but his attitude... Does he really not plan to undertake this?" Peter Schultz said with surprise.

To pioneer a new discipline...

In the scholarly world, this was foundational work.

All future students conducting related research would have to learn Qiao Ze's theory. Even many of the formulas would be named after Qiao Ze, like the Qiao Ze's First Theorem in Super Helical Space Algebra.

This was the kind of thing countless theoretical scholars dreamt of; how could it fall apart in just a few words?

"So what did you mean by the benefits you mentioned at the time?" Charles William asked.

"Qiao Ze should understand. I've always hoped he would come to Princeton. If he's willing, the entire Institute for Advanced Study could partake in this work. Right, Edward?" said Roth Dugan while glancing at Edward Witten, speaking openly.

At least in his view, the Harvard Mathematics Department definitely couldn't compare with Princeton.

"Oh, it's clear that Qiao Ze has no such intention."

"Maybe it was just a probe? I still don't believe he would give up on this work," Peter Schultz said, shaking his head.

"We'll see. Our involvement would certainly benefit the future promotion of Super Helical Space Algebra. Perhaps we really should be patient."

"Heh... Maybe."

...

In the lounge, only Qiao Ze and Xu Changshu remained, not having left.

"Let's not work on this for now. When you come next semester, you can do some research on partitioning methods. I have a feeling that the partitioning method can manipulate the Riemann ζ function better."

"You really aren't planning to delve deeper into the new algebra?" Xu Changshu was still in a daze.

"Hmm."

Qiao Ze nodded, adding, "Later on, once the paper is published, more people will naturally take the initiative to study the unique properties of Super Helical Space and try to verify it. It can develop on its own. We don't necessarily have to do that work."

"But that may delay it for years or even longer." Xu Changshu offered his opinion.

"That's okay," Qiao Ze answered.

"What if someone actively seeks you out?" Xu Changshu was still somewhat unwilling to let it go.

"People can't escape the cycles of physiological development; nobody can finish everything. I have always believed that we should do more new things while the brain is most active. If a mathematical tool is truly useful, it will naturally continue to evolve, and we don't need to worry," Qiao Ze earnestly emphasized.

Well, he really was very patient with Xu Changshu.

After all, Xu had given up a promising future at Yanbei University to pursue academic research wholeheartedly at Xilin.

If it weren't for a vague desire to build the xilin Mathematics Institute into something substantial, he wouldn't bother to explain so much.

In fact, having his proposal turned down by those people just now made Qiao Ze feel pretty good.

At least he didn't need to be distracted by these matters anymore.

"Hmm..."

Xu Changshu wanted to say something else, but seeing Su Mucheng, who was sitting behind Qiao Ze, suddenly gesturing to him, he ultimately held back his words that had reached the tip of his tongue: "By the way, I've almost finished with the formalities. I'm not planning to go back to Yanbei this time; I can report to the institute tomorrow."

"Good, Dean Xu will arrange it well."

"Actually, it's already been arranged. Besides, I'm also very interested in the Riemann ζ function."

"Then let's start from tomorrow. I will send the materials to your email."

...

After seeing Xu Changshu off, Qiao Ze sighed.

The road of theoretical academia was indeed destined to be a lonely one.

"Qiao, actually I think Professor Xu has a point, and it seems like he really has your best interests at heart," said Su Mucheng when only the two of them were left.

She had been silent during the exchange just now,

but she had listened to the entire conversation between Qiao Ze, Xu Changshu, and Professor Yang, and it seemed like everyone hoped he could quickly build the framework and system for the new algebra.

It's just that Qiao Ze's thoughts seemed different from everyone else's.

Fortunately, Qiao Ze was willing to explain more to Su Mucheng: "But it's meaningless to me."

"Hmm? Why is that?"

"To establish a framework and get everyone to understand the significance of the new algebra would take at least three months. Uncle Li's doctoral supervisor assessment will pass, and the results will come out before the end of the year. I'll be graduating in three months."
