Chapter 131 Truth is More Important Than Feelings

Chapter 131 Truth is More Important Than Feelings
If someone else had taken credit in this way, Tian Yanzhen would probably have thought that person was a traitor, but when these words came out from Qiao Yu's mouth with such confidence, Tian Yanzhen felt very relieved.

Because he believed that his former teacher was really capable of doing such a thing.

They don’t even consider the issue of student status.

If I consider it, I'll probably just have another argument.

Old people are always like that. They can't tolerate any sand in their eyes. If something suits their taste, they will protect others' shortcomings without any reason.

Specifically speaking of Qiao Yu...

When I called, the first thing he said was "My grandson is studying in Yanbei", which showed that he was not going to reason.

It is well known that the emotional investment of most grandfathers on their grandchildren is irrational. Parents all over the world do not have a good solution when faced with the problem of grandparents' affection...

For Tian Yanzhen, it was obviously no different.

At least Qiao Yu's attitude is more important to the old man than his attitude.

No, it is much more important, because his thoughts are completely irrelevant.

"You've done a great job. Mr. Yuan just called me. He thinks your living conditions are a bit bad. This is indeed my negligence, but this problem will probably take about a month to resolve. It should be after you return from France."

"Um...actually I think it's okay?"

"Well, that's what you think. You don't have to worry about it, just focus on your studies. If you have any problems in life or study, call me first, or come to my office directly."

"Don't worry, Director Tian, ​​how could I be so distant with you?"

"Well, just don't be shy. Just keep working hard."

After saying that, Tian Yanzhen hung up the phone, and suddenly felt a headache.

Although Qiao Yu was indeed a well-behaved child, it was really frustrating to hear the old man opposite staring at him.

This kid... is really good at coaxing people. I have to admit, being able to make people willingly seek benefits for him is also a skill.

……

For Qiao Yu, all these things today were unexpected surprises.

As for studying, it is about enriching yourself. To use the words of a high school teacher, studying is something you should be responsible for yourself. With forty or fifty students in a class, it is impossible for the teacher to distribute the energy equally to every student.

Whether you learn well or poorly has little to do with the teacher.

But at Yanbei University, this statement is obviously not true.

For example, in today's situation, Qiao Yu felt that he was not learning for himself.

Obviously, he was the one who gained from reading the book, but Director Tian and the master across from him were all vying to give him some benefits. This was probably because they were afraid that he would feel that the positive and negative feedback in the learning process was not enough, so they kept adding benefits, right?

Qiao Yu felt that after changing his accommodation environment, he needed to hang up the words "Study for the Rise of Chinese Mathematics" in his own small study room.

In this way, whether it is Director Tian or Mr. Yuan who comes, they will probably gain a lot of emotional value.

Qiao Yu doesn't think there's anything wrong with this. In fact, creating emotional value for people who are good to you is a very beautiful thing. It belongs to repaying a favor.

This is just like how after retiring, the elderly in China often choose to continue raising their grandchildren without asking for material rewards, in exchange for the same emotional value.

After all, apart from the emotional value, Qiao Yu now has no other rewards to offer to his two mentors.

Whether it is Tian Yanzhen or Yuan Lao, they are probably not short of money, let alone status.

……

Putting these aside, Qiao Yu attended a video conference of the joint research group in the evening.

This is also the most important meeting since he joined the research group.

Professor Ronald, who had always disliked him, not only praised him highly, but also took the opportunity to give a rather blunt lecture to two students who also participated in the meeting but had no right to speak, and told them that they should learn from Qiao Yu - to use their brains to think about problems instead of just wasting time.

Qiao Yu didn't know what to say about this.

But he felt that if he stayed in this research group for too long, he might become the public enemy of several professors and their students.

Qiao Yu even felt that after this meeting, a few people would definitely form a small group to scold him.

After all, if his mentor praised other students like this and then discredited him, he would definitely do this. Although it was useless, at least it would make him feel better.

The weak only have the courage to complain about the strong when they stick together...

If there really is such a small group, Qiao Yu would really like to join it and see the complaints against him.

After all, as a layman, he can also get happiness from it.

In fact, if we really want to be serious, apart from perfect love, almost all positive emotions in human social relationships come from comparison. This is also the source of Qiao Yu's happiness.

It was as if Qiao Yu had always dreamed that Yu Wei would say to him with disdain: "You just have a few stinky coins, don't you?"

If that day comes, it means that his dream has come true. Not only will he not be angry, he will even agree loudly: "Yes, I just have a few more bucks than you, and I am very happy about this."

You see, the happiness of ordinary people is so simple.

After the meeting, Professor Li had a private chat with him for more than half an hour. The core idea was to tell him the importance of communication in mathematical research. He asked Qiao Yu to make full use of the function of the mailbox. As long as he had an idea, he could send an email or call to communicate at any time.

Don't always attack suddenly, it's not good for the professors' hearts.

Qiao Yu chose to agree readily, but he would probably continue to do what he wanted. This was mainly because Qiao Yu found that his thinking mode was often different from that of other professors, and inspiration often came suddenly.

When he has no inspiration, he can't come up with any particularly brilliant insights to inspire others.

It just sucks.

……

The big guys are all very capable of taking action.

Before Qiao Yu had planned his May Day activities, a mathematics PhD student named Luo Jingrong from Huaqing University called him and added him on WeChat.

Mr. Yuan authorized his doctoral fellow from Huaqing University to take him to visit famous places in Beijing for two days during the May Day holiday.

Mr. Yuan even arranged several required locations for Qiao Yu.

Go watch a flag-raising ceremony, spend a day in the Forbidden City, and after dinner go to the nearby National Grand Theater to watch a play.

We took a day off and then took Qiao Yu to visit the Great Wall.

The elders have given me a gift, and I dare not refuse it...

So we took a day off at school on May Day, and Brother Luo from Huaqing had already arranged the itinerary properly.

On May 2, a phone call woke Qiao Yu up at 4 a.m. After a quick wash, he arrived at the school gate at 4:20 a.m. The car to pick him up was already waiting. In order to facilitate the two people's trip, Yuan Lao also arranged a driver.

"Brother Luo, do you have to get up so early just to watch the flag-raising ceremony?"

"It's late. That's why we don't want to watch the flag-raising ceremony in the first row. It's fine at other times, but during the Labor Day holiday, if you want to get a first-row seat, you have to get up at about three in the morning to line up. If you're still sleepy, take a nap in the car."

Qiao Yu has many feelings.

He sincerely admires those bigwigs who get up at three in the morning to watch the flag-raising ceremony.

But I definitely couldn't fall asleep. Along the way, I started chatting with Senior Brother Luo about topics related to mathematical research, and time passed very quickly.

Arriving at the square, Qiao Yu finally saw the world.

Before daybreak, I joined many others in the queue for security check. When I arrived at the square, there was already a huge crowd of people waiting for the flag-raising ceremony.

It’s not like Qiao Yu hasn’t seen so many people at the same time before. Near the pedestrian street in Xingcheng, there are often crowds of people everywhere. But in this square, the feeling is still a little different.

This feeling reached its peak when the flag-raising ceremony began.

People in the square stood solemnly in the direction where the flag was hung, watching the red flag slowly rise towards the morning sun accompanied by the passionate national anthem. The high-spirited national anthem was heard. Until the red flag reached the top of the flagpole and fluttered in the wind, Qiao Yu was thinking about how terrifying it would be if countless ordinary individuals could really unite.

The superheroes and various forms of personal heroism advocated in comics and movies will probably pale in comparison to countless united individuals.

This feeling was a bit puzzling, but Qiao Yu felt that Mr. Yuan had specifically noted in the itinerary that Senior Brother Luo must take him to participate in a flag-raising ceremony, probably so that he could think about these things.

Newton is amazing.

He proposed basic theories such as the law of motion and the law of universal gravitation, laying an important foundation for aerospace, machinery, construction and other fields.

But the theory is ultimately transformed into scientific and technological achievements, and it is supported by thousands of ordinary engineers.

A genius can tell the world the direction of future development by just extending a finger. But even if a genius wears out all ten fingers, he still cannot build a spacecraft that can send astronauts to the sky by himself.

"What are you daydreaming about?" The flag-raising ceremony had already ended. Luo Jingrong patted Qiao Yu, who was still standing there, looking up at the national flag, and asked.

This is not the first time that Luo Jingrong has led people to participate in the national flag ceremony. It is the first time I have seen people expressing their feelings, getting excited, and even being in a daze after watching the flag-raising ceremony.

"Oh, I think I should be nicer to Brother Chen and my friends in the future." Qiao Yu said with relief.

"Huh?" Luo Jingrong was stunned. He didn't expect to have such an insight just by watching the flag-raising ceremony.

However, thinking that the thinking of geniuses is probably divergent, Luo Jingrong was too lazy to think about it anymore.

In the world of mathematics, the strong are respected.

Although this guy in front of me looks very tender and young, he can't even reach his achievements in mathematics, so just believe that what he says is right.

"You must be hungry, right? Let's go, I'll take you to have breakfast. Do you want to try the Beijing specialty bean juice? The friends I'm hosting all want to try it. But I have to tell you first, people who like that stuff have to have a bowl of it every morning, and drink it with pickles. It's absolutely delicious. But people who don't like it can't even drink a single sip."

Luo Jingrong suggested.

Qiao Yu did not answer directly, but asked: "Brother Luo, do you think the food in Huaqing Canteen is delicious?"

"It's delicious, what's wrong?"

"Do you like to drink that special bean juice?"

"do not like."

"Then I definitely don't like it either. Let's go eat something less special."

Luo Jingrong glanced at Qiao Yu.

Well, the genius's thinking is indeed meticulous enough...

He had always liked to see the expressions on his classmates’ faces when they drank soy milk for the first time. Unfortunately, the little guy didn’t fall for it.

"I know a place with delicious beef patties. How about pairing it with soy milk?"

"Real soy milk?"

"Yeah, it's that slightly sweet soy milk. I like it anyway."

"That's no problem. If my senior brother likes to drink it, I will definitely like it too."

……

For the first time, Qiao Yu experienced that playing was indeed a very tiring thing, even more tiring than doing math problems.

After a hearty and delicious breakfast, I walked around the street again under the guidance of my senior brother until the former palace next door opened for business, and then I followed the crowd to line up to go in. Then I walked around the former royal mansion for almost a whole day.

When I sat on the chair at the National Grand Theater, I felt my legs were numb. I also understood why he was given a day off after two days of playing.

Really, if Senior Brother Luo hadn't strongly suggested that he come to see the play on stage, he would have wanted to go home after touring the royal mansion.

Fortunately, the drama performed on the stage of the National Grand Theater did not disappoint him.

It was already ten o'clock in the evening when Qiao Yu returned to Yanbei University. He didn't even bother to wash up and fell asleep immediately.

Fortunately, the young man's body recovered quickly. He rested for a day on the second day, and arrived at the foot of the Great Wall fully recovered on the third day.

But this time Qiao Yu was smart, he made his own strategy, and did not choose the most popular route, but chose a less popular route starting from Juyongguan, taking the east route. And when he reached the South Gate Tower, he turned back... and resolutely did not touch the west route.

This journey was noticeably more relaxing.

Standing on the city wall, Qiao Yu took a photo with Brother Luo, and posted it on Weibo with the caption: A mountain is not high, but it is magical if there is a dragon.

Luo Jingrong took a look and said, "Isn't what you said wrong?"

Qiao Yu nodded and said energetically, "Well, the original text says that a mountain is famous not because of its height, but because of the immortals living there; a river is magical not because of its depth, but because of the dragons living there. But we are in the mountains, and the word immortal is not worthy of us, so we can only change it, right, brother! Besides, who dares to say that there are no dragons and phoenixes in the mountains?"

Luo Jingrong felt speechless and proud at the same time, but he still reminded her: "You will definitely be scolded if you post on Weibo like this."

Qiao Yu smiled and said, "Let them scold me. Even if they call me a poor student, it won't change the fact that I got full marks in Chinese in the high school entrance exam. Anyway, I never read Weibo. And don't you think it's meaningful to let a wide group of people feel superior by despising my cultural level?"

Although he didn't understand the significance of this matter, Luo Jingrong didn't say anything more.

Maybe a genius's ideas are slightly different from those of ordinary people like him.

In fact, Luo Jingrong's worries were not unnecessary.

Indeed, many people have mocked the post in the comment section of Weibo.

Of course, as Qiao Yu said, he didn't care, and was even happy to bring a sense of superiority to more people.

He even replied to the netizen who first pointed out the mistake: "So that's how it is. I haven't read the Chinese textbook for a long time, so I got it wrong..."

If a person is smart enough, he must occasionally expose his stupid side in front of the public. After all, it is very tiring to maintain a high-end personality in front of the public. The genius side itself only needs to be known by a few people.

And after a short rest, he really had to work and had no time to deal with things like Weibo.

……

Hua Qing, Pan Jingyuan has been having a bad time recently, of course this is largely due to Qiao Yu.

Think about it, a paper that solved a heavyweight problem was about to be published in a journal, and even the main reviewers gave positive comments. But just when the celebration party was about to be held, it was hit by a blow.

And that person was also a joint training subject of his own mathematics research center. Obviously, it was difficult to be in a good mood.

What’s even more infuriating is that Qiao Yu’s angle in discovering the problem is very tricky.

So these days, the entire research team has been desperately looking for relevant information, trying to find a way to quickly patch this vulnerability.

He mainly revisited some proof routes that had been temporarily abandoned in previous research processes, and tried to use these methods to repair the damage caused by such special singularities to the higher-order category axiom system.

You can imagine how huge the workload is.

There is no other way. When this road is blocked, you have to find another way. After all, the problem is there, and it is impossible to just give up all these years of hard work.

In fact, Pan Jingyuan suggested whether Qiao Yu could be included in the team to help them fix the loophole. In fact, this is a very common thing.

When a mathematician finds a loophole in a heavyweight paper, the research team will often take the initiative to invite the mathematician who found the loophole to join the team and work together to find a way to solve the problem. However, the team has not reached a unified opinion on this issue.

His mentor Dennis maintained a positive attitude towards this, but the attitudes of the other two main research team members were not clear, so Pan Jingyuan had to give up for the time being.

To be honest, Pan Jingyuan didn't have any negative feelings towards Qiao Yu. Although he hadn't been dealing with Qiao Yu for a long time, Pan Jingyuan actually had a good impression of him.

It goes without saying that being polite is a basic quality for a sixteen-year-old. In addition, Qiao Yu is also very trustworthy in daily life, for example, he particularly respects the professor's time.

Well, this should actually be the basic quality of students, but as the saying goes, people are most afraid of comparison...

As there are more students who have no concept of time, the advantages of students like Qiao Yu who are particularly punctual become more apparent.

Talented, honest, trustworthy, respectful to professors, and respectful of time...

What bad intentions could a child like this have?

He just happened to be interested in the geometric Langlands conjecture, and happened to read their paper and found some minor errors.

Moreover, Qiao Yu promised him that if he could think of a solution to this loophole, he would tell him immediately.

Qiao Yu was already so sensible, and if he still harbored resentment towards a sixteen-year-old child, Pan Jingyuan would feel that he was too petty.

He believed that Professor Dennis had the same idea.

I just don’t know why Professor Sam and Professor Feng seem to have some resistance to Qiao Yu.

Pan Jingyuan suspected that it was because Qiao Yu was too young that the two professors were too embarrassed to do so.

It is also for this reason that the recent news from Professor Li next door made his impression of Qiao Yu even more complicated.

During this period, Qiao Yu actually solved the difficult problems encountered by Lao Li's research team.

I still feel a little jealous.

This kid Qiao Yu only cares about killing but not burying!

It is reasonable and logical to help them think about the proposition of geometric Langlands conjecture first.

Of course, this cannot be blamed on Qiao Yu.

After all, Qiao Yu is now a member of the research team, and it is natural for him to think about his own topic.

In short, the emotions are very complicated and troubled.

But there is nothing we can do.

Pan Jingyuan planned to wait until he went to France to attend the World Algebraic Geometry Congress to find time to have a good chat with Qiao Yu. After all, he really had no time recently.

Just like that, time passed by in a flash, and there was not much progress in the work throughout April and most of May.

The situation is similar with my tutors Dennis, Professor Sam and Professor Feng.

Of course, this is normal. For an extremely complex subject, once a problem is raised, it is not so easy to solve it while maintaining the integrity of the framework.

It is necessary to re-examine all links, but of course it is not completely without gain.

After communicating with Professor Dennis via email, he proposed a method that had been abandoned before at the group meeting yesterday, which is to reconstruct a topological perturbation category, namely the Topological Perturbation Category, abbreviated as TPC, and analyze the local system at the conjugate ridge singular points.

The core idea is to introduce tiny topological perturbations to readjust the geometric structure near the singularity so that it meets the global requirements of the geometric Langlands conjecture.

To explain it mathematically, for each singular point x on the algebraic cluster X, the object of TPC is defined as a perturbation coherence layer Fx near x, where represents the size of the perturbation.

The definition of Fx can theoretically smooth out the higher-order singularities of the local system at a very small scale, making the local geometric structure topologically similar to a smooth point.

This was actually an idea I had before, but I gave it up because the limiting process of topological perturbation → 0 is not necessarily consistent at different singular points. Especially in complex singular point networks, the limit of HnTPC(x) may not be stable enough.

But there is no way. This is currently the best solution to fix the problem raised by Qiao Yu, but it is technically troublesome.

As long as the problem of the failure of the Ambidexterity Theorem in the limiting process can be solved, the paper can be extended again without major revisions.

In short, at least we can determine the direction of our next efforts.

There was no way, Pan Jingyuan had already sensed that the other two members of the research group had become less stable recently, as could be seen from the frequency of their recent email exchanges.

It’s not that there is less communication, but rather too much.

Once someone in the research team comes up with too many unreasonable ideas in a short period of time, it will inevitably waste a lot of everyone's time.

Especially Professor Feng, who Pan Jingyuan didn't like very much. Recently, he had some thoughts that were obviously a bit outrageous.

Fortunately, at the team meeting, he and Dennis convinced the two to accept this plan.

However, Pan Jingyuan has no time to pay attention to this proposition these days. He will leave for France the day after tomorrow to attend the World Algebraic Geometry Conference. Although he will not speak at the conference this time, he is also one of the mathematicians invited to attend.

Well, he originally had the opportunity to give a report at the branch venue.

But before finding the correct solution to this problem, neither he nor Dennis had the heart to make a report.

It’s not that Pan Jingyuan had not thought about going with Qiao Yu, but this time Qiao Yu was going with several mathematics professors from Yanbei University, and Yanbei University said that they would set off early tomorrow morning, taking an Air China flight directly to Charles de Gaulle Airport.

Although the departure time was a bit inconvenient, it was the shortest flight, with the entire journey taking less than twelve hours, which was equivalent to arriving at the venue three days in advance.

This was probably Tian Yan's real decision.

But there's nothing wrong with that.

If Qiao Yu was his student, Pan Jingyuan would also choose to go there early and take Qiao Yu to get acquainted with the world's top professors in related research fields who were attending the conference.

Sometimes things are just so coincidental. When Pan Jingyuan just thought of Qiao Yu, the phone suddenly rang. It was this little guy calling.

Speaking of Cao Cao, this is the kind of thing that happened to him. There are many more ways to interpret it in modern times.

Well, this was before going to France for a meeting. Did you remember to say goodbye to him? This guy is not bad...

It was the middle of the night, how did Qiao Yu know that he was still awake?
Pan Jingyuan thought to himself with self-mockery, and then answered the phone.

As a result, Qiao Yu's first sentence made him stunned.

"Hey, Professor Pan, didn't I promise you before that if I figured out a solution to the geometric Langlands conjecture, I would let you know as soon as possible?"

Pan Jingyuan immediately asked, "Well? Have you figured out a solution?"

"Well, yes, I have some rough ideas, but there is another problem. I don't know how to deal with it."

Pan Jingyuan was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked: "What's the problem?"

“I read those papers. Professor Sam and Professor Frank’s work mainly focused on proving that each feature layer contributes to white noise in some way to prove the local-global relationship. But the solution I came up with was to introduce the LGIR tool to solve this problem.

Simply put, it is directly de-whitened. By creating the "de-noising fuzziness operator" in LGIR, the "white noise" components that may be introduced by the feature layer are identified and filtered out, thereby ensuring that the structure of the local system maintains a clean mapping globally.

This allows us to embed the local singular point system into the global algebraic group representation. How to say it? It is equivalent to that the characteristic layer of each singular point will exist in the form of an analytical merged state, which can directly avoid the white noise problem caused by the self-isomorphism of the characteristic layer.

Similarly, this can directly ignore the influence of conjugate ridge singular points, ensuring that the behavior of each conjugate ridge singular point is no different from other smooth points on a global scale. Of course, this requires slightly modifying the validity conditions of the Ambidexterity Theorem, but it allows the theorem to hold in a wider range of geometric backgrounds. "

Really, Qiao Yu's few words completely confused Pan Jingyuan.

It took him a while to realize the hidden meaning of Qiao Yu's words, and then he subconsciously asked: "Qiao Yu, do you have any opinions about Professor Sam and Professor Frank?"

"Ah? How is that possible? I don't even know those two professors, how could I have any opinion about them? I just feel very guilty towards you. Professor Pan, I was studying the geometric Langlands conjecture at the time, and you were the one who taught me. As a result, I accidentally found a small flaw, which made me feel guilty for your help to me.

So I have actually been thinking about how to solve this loophole during this period. I just got an idea today, so I contacted you as soon as possible. I think this method is really promising, and maybe I can sort out my thoughts during the two days in France.

Professor Tian just mentioned that you will also go to Paris to attend the conference this time. I will discuss my ideas with you in detail then!"

Pan Jingyuan finally realized that Qiao Yu's phone was filled with noise, so he subconsciously asked, "Are you already at the airport?"

"Yes, I came early. Director Tian is coordinating the formalities in front. I took the time to call you. Oops, Director Tian called me, so I can't talk to you anymore, Professor Pan. Let's talk when we meet in Paris."

"Wait, hello, hello..." Pan Jingyuan called twice, but unfortunately the other party had hung up the phone. He wanted to call again, but no one answered for a long time.

But it is understandable, after all, it is a trip abroad, especially for Qiao Yu, it should be his first time abroad, and the procedures are quite complicated. At this time, he really has no time to answer the phone.

In fact, he should be grateful that Qiao Yu took the time to call him.

But damn, how can he sleep tonight?
Well, this is not something that can even be solved by an email. Pan Jingyuan thought about it and simply called Dennis directly.

His flight ticket has already been booked, and it is impossible to change his schedule. But Dennis should have more freedom than him.

Of course, the most important thing is that he has to discuss this matter with Dennis.

To be honest, this is a bit too coincidental.

Qiao Yu will be giving a 30-minute report at this World Congress on Algebraic Geometry.

Of course, for such formal academic conferences, invited speakers need to provide abstracts or even detailed speeches for review by the review committee. Even at Qiao Yu's age, the reviewers will discuss with him before the report to ensure that the content is presented reasonably within the time limit of 30 minutes, without exceeding the time limit or missing key information points.

Pan Jingyuan even knew that Qiao Yu's report this time was on conjugate ridge singular points.

After all, Qiao Yu's paper on the prediction of the upper boundary points of the curve will not be published until after the conference. Qiao Yu's speech video questioning the proof of the geometric Langlands conjecture has been circulating in the academic community for a long time and has been recognized by many famous scholars.

But if Qiao Yu could really find a solution to this problem before he made his report, Pan Jingyuan believed that the conference's review committee would definitely agree to Qiao Yu's temporary modification of the content during his report and allow Qiao Yu to present his complete solution.

Because if Qiao Yu can find a solution to the problem of conjugate ridge singular points before the meeting, it will bring a new breakthrough to the proof of the geometric Langlands conjecture.

It also means that the proof of the geometric Langlands conjecture may be recognized by the mainstream academic community again. It also means that this conference will produce another excellent paper with a profound impact on algebraic geometry.

Qiao Yu's report will surely become the highlight of this conference.

To be honest, this will have little impact on Pan Jingyuan and Dennis, and they may even become beneficiaries.

Because the method proposed by Qiao Yu did not negate the core idea proposed by Dennis, it just solved the problem in another way.

But the impact on the other two main collaborators is greater, meaning that the parts of the papers they are responsible for will no longer be accepted.

This was also the reason why he just suspected whether Qiao Yu had any grudge against Sam and Frank.

Who can stand the fact that such an important problem was finally solved, but it had nothing to do with the two professors who spent several years on it?

Anyway, if he encountered this kind of problem, Pan Jingyuan felt that he might really go crazy.

Whenever people mention this topic in the future, they may also mention these two people, but we can only feel sorry that they spent so many years on useless work, and on the eve of the success of the project, all the credit went to a sixteen-year-old genius.

Although a legendary story always needs someone to act as a background, for the background, they probably only want to ask: "Is this polite?"

If a mathematician is narrow-minded, he may even become an enemy of the problem solver.

This kind of thing actually happens in every era.

From Pan Jingyuan's perspective, he really didn't know how to face Professor Sam and Professor Feng. After all, they had worked together for so many years...

Really, at this moment, Pan Jingyuan's mind was in a mess...

Of course, he couldn't be the only one to worry about this kind of trouble. And if Qiao Yu really did this, the most suitable person to vent the emotions of the other two professors would definitely not be him, but his former mentor, Professor Dennis.

He couldn't afford such trouble.

After the phone rang five times, Dennis answered it.

"Pan, it should be late at night in China now, right? Did you make any important breakthroughs?"

Hearing Dennis's voice with a hint of fatigue, Pan Jingyuan felt relieved. The suffocating feeling that almost strangled his neck just now was much better.

"Yes, Professor Dennis, there may indeed be an important breakthrough, but it is not my breakthrough. Qiao Yu just called me and said that he may have thought of a way to solve the current problem.

Directly introduce the LGIR tool to remove white noise, so that the feature layer of each complex singular point exists in the form of an analytical merged state to avoid the white noise problem caused by the self-isomorphism of the feature layer. In this way, the problem he raised is solved.

And from his tone, he seemed very confident that this problem could be solved in the near future.”

Pan Jingyuan immediately briefly explained the idea that Qiao Yu had just told him.

"Hmm? Did he give a specific method of proof?"

"not yet."

"You didn't ask either?"

"I wanted to ask, but he called me from the airport. He should be boarding a plane to Paris to attend the conference soon. It will take about thirteen or fourteen hours to arrive in Paris."

"He has already gone to Paris? Oh my God, if this is true, maybe I should change my schedule immediately. Thank you, Pan, I will check the nearest flights to Paris. I can't wait to know whether that amazing Chinese boy really has a complete solution."

Professor Dennis' tone on the other side became noticeably excited.

"Well, that... Professor Dennis..."

"Hmm? Pan, don't you feel excited?"

"No, well, I'm certainly excited too, but there's a problem. Qiao Yu's idea seems to be to directly whiten the noise instead of directly linking the feature layer with the white noise... Do you understand?"

Pan Jingyuan reminded.

"Oh, God! I was so excited about this news that I forgot about this... Well, Pan, what do you think about this matter? If the method proposed by Qiao Yu can really solve this problem?"

"To be honest, I don't know, Mr. Dennis."

After this sentence, there was silence on both ends of the phone.

It can be seen that both of them were a little confused at this time.

Never mind the relationship between the two parties. After all, they have been cooperating for so many years, and everyone has worked hard for the common project. If they abandon the achievements of both parties at this time, it would be somewhat hard-hearted.

"This is a really troublesome question. Do we have to choose between the truth and our partners? Well, although this question is a bit unbelievable, but... Pan, as far as you know, does Qiao Yu have any conflicts with Sam or Frank?"

Well, the two of them wanted to go together...

However, Pan Jingyuan immediately replied: "Dennis, don't forget that Qiao Yu is only sixteen years old this year, and he has never been abroad. His entire life has been in China. In theory, it should be impossible for him to have any connection with the two professors."

"That's right, but you know, there always seem to be a lot of coincidences in this matter...Okay, maybe I'm overthinking it."

Pan Jingyuan thought for a moment and said, "Should we notify Professor Sam and Professor Frank?"

After a moment of silence, the other party said, "Don't notify us for now. After all, Qiao Yu just proposed an idea, and we can't be sure whether his idea is really effective.

You know what the good news is? If I can get a flight for the afternoon, it only takes six hours from Boston to Paris, and maybe I can get there at the same time as that amazing guy. So, I'll talk to him after that."
