It's indeed true that Xilin City has the academic genes to foster scholarship, boasting seven Double First Class universities and a whopping forty-five undergraduate institutions, including twenty-five that are publicly funded.

Furthermore, with the presence of the West Forest Branch of Hua Academy of Sciences in this city, if it really could develop in this direction, it might even have a chance to become famous in the world of academic research.

Of course, for now, these are just ideas.

There's no helping it, the majority of academic resources are still concentrated in the Capital, as well as in more economically developed places like Shencheng.

In any case, there are many ideas, but whether success is attainable will depend on how the future unfolds and whether more resources and policy support can be garnered.

But at least now there's another direction to consider.

...

On the return flight, the professors from Princeton returning home were not in high spirits.

Looking back now, I should have agreed to Qiao Ze's request at the time.

It's often the case that one only feels regret after letting an opportunity slip by.

But who could have expected Qiao Ze to make decisions so swiftly and decisively, to the point of actually dropping out of the group?

Qiao Ze's advanced way of thinking is indeed difficult to comprehend.

Fortunately, there are papers to follow, and a copy of Qiao Ze's lecture video was taken, so upon returning, everyone could still study this theory based on the explanations in the video.

Only the time spent will undoubtedly increase manifold.

"What do you think Qiao was thinking? Can he really solve the mass gap problem on his own without any help?"

"Clearly, he is entitled to that confidence."

"I should have realized earlier that this guy is a maverick."

"But I still think this choice will take more time. To solve the mass gap problem, it means formally entering the field of physics. Qiao is only nineteen years old. His mathematical genius has been proven, and he definitely understands the basics of field theory and quantum physics. You can't possibly say he is as strong in other areas of physics as he is in mathematics, right? And this is not a domain that can be verified simply with supercomputing."

"Yes, I think so too. It always takes time... Just like Edward has not yet won the Nobel Prize. However, he didn't seem to interact much with the physicists during the lecture."

"But I feel he will still communicate with Edward. I have a premonition."

"It's a pity. At the moment the supercomputing results came in, I've never felt the grand unification so close at hand. But Qiao's choice surprised me. Sigh..."

"I told you, he wants to be a maverick! Lotte, I know you admire Qiao, but I think you should also consider Robert Stephen's opinion. If he continues to be unwilling to come, having such a figurehead in Huaxia might not necessarily be a good thing."

"Science knows no borders."

"Then why is he staying in Xilin? You know, that school can't provide him more help in mathematics or physics."

"Alright, I don't want to talk about this anymore. For me, nothing is more important than catching a glimpse of the truth of this world. Where I catch that glimpse doesn't seem so important to me."

"Lotte, you're too idealistic."

"Maybe. But since you all think our academic level here is stronger than in Xilin, and now that Qiao Ze has made his method of finding solutions to the Yang-Mills Equations public, why not collaborate with a group of mathematicians and physicists to explore that final step? Maybe you could solve the mass gap problem before Qiao does?"

Lothar Du's offhand remark clearly lit up Daniel's eyes.

The idea was not impossible.

After all, over the years, the Western mathematical community has made some progress in the study of Yang-Mills Theory. With the groundwork laid and the push from Qiao Ze, they just might stand a chance.

Although in the field of scientific research, having a greater number of people doesn't necessarily mean more strength, they do have the world's most advanced laboratories and the physicists most knowledgeable about this problem.

"Heh, Lotte, it seems deep down, you also want to teach Qiao Ze a lesson. I'm going to talk to Edward about this right now."

"Go ahead, go right ahead, I could use a break."

With that, Lothar Du put on his eye mask.

He was tired of dealing with this guy.

Just rewatching Qiao Ze's lecture video repeatedly in the past two days, trying to decipher the confounding theory of superspiral space, had already drained him significantly. Not to mention, it made him realize how difficult it was to fully comprehend Qiao Ze's train of thought.

He only made the suggestion to keep Daniel from nagging in his ear.

Without a doubt, until they had a clear grasp of the basic concept of Super Helical Space Algebra, Qiao Ze was the one closest to the truth.

The thoughts of Lothar Du, Daniel, or even Robert Stephen were different.

Each era has its own characteristics.

He was already an old man on his way out. If his own young people weren't striving to compete, was it really up to these old men to match wits with a teenager?

Give me a break, it's time to accept old age!

For Xilin University of Technology, following the high-profile lecture, the school was officially entering the end-of-year exam season.

The Spring Festival of 2024 fell on February 10th, and the school had tentatively scheduled the holiday for the end of January.

For the kids in the fundamental class of the School of Mathematics, there was cause for celebration: this semester's final exams had been confirmed to abandon the semi-open book format.
