Chapter 226 I have to be protected again!
The calm Qiao Yu was actually a little excited in his heart - the sugar-coated bullets of capitalism were finally starting to hit him hard!

It is no exaggeration to say that ever since he came across the term "sugar-coated bullet" in the ideology class, Qiao Yu has been looking forward to the day when a sugar-coated bullet will be fired at him.

That way he could start figuring out how to eat the sugar coating and return the shell.

No matter what others think, in Qiao Yu's opinion, this is true morality.

Everything should be learned and applied flexibly.

For example, morality is actually a system. The moral logic followed by the East and the West has always been different.

Especially in the current context where confrontation is the main theme between the two sides, it would be irresponsible to reject the sugar-coated bullets decisively.

On the contrary, every piece of sugar coating he tore off was a contribution to China. This is the simplest math problem, and you can understand it as long as you have learned addition and subtraction.

If he could swindle $35 from the capitalists, the enemy army would have one less bag of screws. If he could swindle $ million, the enemy army would have one less F- or Apache attack helicopter.

If it is 7 billion, that would be even more impressive. The other side would have lost a Nimitz-class aircraft carrier!
What is morality?

That’s it!

Qiao Yu has always been critical of the examiners of the high school entrance examination. They dared to give him full marks in Chinese and history, but did not give him full marks in morality and rule of law. It was simply a joke.

Everyone in Xingtie No. 1 Middle School knows that his moral standards are absolutely the highest in the school, no doubt about it!
If you don’t believe me, you can ask Xia Keke…

Okay, that's too far-fetched.

In short, Qiao Yu was very happy to receive Dario Gil's business card, and he also liked Nelson a lot better.

He also spoke more enthusiastically.

"I understand. I will contact Mr. Gill when I am free. Maybe we will have the opportunity to cooperate in the future. Although the simulation of quantum computing by electronic computers is still in its infancy.

The technology is not perfect yet. But with our joint efforts, it may not be long before we can overcome some technical difficulties and achieve perfect simulation, even low-cost simulation. "

"I hope so! Well, I won't disturb you while you eat." Nelson smiled slightly, replied casually, and left very gentlemanly.

There is no way. For this Nobel Prize winner, his mood is definitely not as good as he appears.

The saying that competitors are enemies applies to any industry, even in the field of scientific research.

Just like the competition between Senior Brother Liu Hao's lab and the Huaxia Academy of Sciences' lab before, if possible, everyone would hope that the other side would not produce any results.

The situation is actually similar now.

There is no doubt that the Qiao Yu modal space created by Qiao Yu will inevitably squeeze the living space of Nelson's project.

This also means a reduction in future funding and he will have to find new research directions.

Cooperation?

What a joke!
What does he have to cooperate with Qiao Yu?

If Qiao Yu hadn't announced the two new Mersenne primes, he would still have the confidence to talk to Qiao Yu, but in this situation, even if he wanted to pick the fruit...

Well, Qiao Yu is not his biological father, and he is certainly not a fool. This thought has never occurred to him.

Of course, Qiao Yu was just being polite.

After all, he had no intention of working with Nelson's team from the beginning to the end.

Not to mention that Nielsen’s team’s previous research didn’t contain much that he coveted. Even if there was, he would just ask Lao Xue and then optimize his own theory.

Cooperating with external parties on such an important project was not an option for him.

Holding the plate happily, Qiao Yu was about to go find something delicious to eat when he was stopped again.

But this time Qiao Yu didn't feel offended, he even seemed concerned.

Because the person who stopped him was Peter Schultz, who had recently given him a lot of inspiration. Most importantly, Peter was also his potential partner. There was indeed a basis for cooperation in the next research.

"Hey, Professor Schultz, I was just asking you where you were! Really, if you didn't show up, I was going to look for you in your room tonight!"

Qiao Yu greeted Peter Schultz casually and ignored his slightly slovenly appearance.

As a person, there is no need to be well-dressed all the time. Being a little decadent occasionally makes you seem more real.

For example, Qiao Yu felt that there was no need for Qiao Xi to keep nagging him on WeChat just because he was dressed casually today.

"What do you want from me?" Peter Schultz asked in confusion.

Qiao Yu thought about it, then shook his head and said sincerely: "Nothing, I just want to chat with you and express my gratitude. Just like I said at the report meeting, Qiao Yu modal space can appear in such a short time, and I have to thank you..."

Qiao Yu was talking when he suddenly noticed that Peter Schultz seemed to be in a bad mood. He simply stopped and asked, "Why don't you talk about your business first? You came here specifically to see me, right?"

Peter Schultz nodded, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "I told you before that my liquid tensor experiment was a collaboration with Kevin Buzzard from Microsoft Research, right?"

Qiao Yu nodded, and then asked frankly: "I remember. Did he ask you to talk to me about whether we can cooperate with Microsoft Research to do research related to quantum simulation computing?"

Peter Schultz was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted: "Has someone contacted you?"

"Haha, yes. Professor Nelson just said that IBM Research is also interested in my research. He said he wants to hire me as a special consultant, but I haven't asked for the details yet."

In front of Peter Schultz, Qiao Yu did not hide his happiness, nor was there any need to.

There is no need for him to be too cunning at his age. Otherwise, he will easily lose friends.

Peter Schultz nodded in understanding.

This is normal.

In fact, he had enjoyed the same treatment in the past, and many high-tech companies were willing to support his research. Of course, these companies naturally wanted something in return.

"Well, Microsoft means the same thing. Of course, I'm just saying that whether you are willing to cooperate with Microsoft is entirely up to you. You know, it's just that they don't have a suitable way to contact you directly at the moment."

Peter Schultz shrugged and said.

Qiao Yu nodded, then put his arm around Peter Schultz's shoulders affectionately and replied, "I understand! You haven't eaten yet, eat something first, so we can talk in the evening."

Peter Schultz looked at Qiao Yu with a complicated expression. He did not reject Qiao Yu's intimate gesture, but he did not nod either.

He just smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying politely: "Actually, I've already eaten! I just came here because I heard that you were coming to the dinner party.

In fact, I am not used to eating Chinese food, especially the spicy food in many dishes. If you really want to talk, you should come to my room after you finish your meal. There are too many people here. ”

Qiao Yu glanced at the steak and sandwich not far away, smiled and nodded.

I can only say that Peter Schultz's taste buds are too weird. For example, this guy doesn't like spicy food... For Qiao Yu, if there is no chili in the dishes of a meal, he can't eat it at all.

"Okay, then I'll go talk to you after I fill my stomach."

Watching Peter Schultz turn and leave, Qiao Yu could finally start to enjoy his meal.

But then someone else came over...

Soon, Qiao Yu had several business cards on him, and almost all the well-known companies had set their sights on him.

Not only foreign companies, but also domestic companies, such as Xiaoli Group, which he had interacted with before.

Of course, Qiao Yu did not give a positive answer.

Forget about domestic companies, they are always there. It is embarrassing to just take money without doing any work, but Qiao Yu thinks that those foreign companies are all worth cooperating with.

He had to eat the sugar coating that was finally delivered to his door, but he hadn't figured out how to eat it yet, and he didn't have time to discuss it in detail.

However, Qiao Yu was not in a hurry. He planned to consider this matter after the team was officially formed. These invitations were put aside for the time being.

From a human perspective, if he talks to others about this matter too quickly, it will seem like he can't wait and the conditions will be difficult to negotiate.

You have to wait for those people to come a few more times. Liu Bei was the emperor's uncle, but he had to visit Zhuge Liang three times when he invited him.

People are all the same, if something is too easy to get, they will not cherish it. So playing hard to get is the best strategy.

Yes, this is actually a PUA process. The only difference is that the targets of PUA are the bigwigs in the technology and financial circles.

Facts have long proved that as long as there is enough benefit, capital can also become the number one bootlicker, and it likes to lick big and extra.

However, he could have finished his meal in ten minutes at most, but because of these people's constant lobbying, it was delayed to half an hour.

Not everyone was as simple as Nelson and Peter Schultz, who simply said it and left. Many people were even like Niupixian, who wanted him to give an answer right away.

Especially those who come to lobby on behalf of domestic capital giants, probably because they think they are easy to talk to, so they are too diligent.

Just like that, they finished their meal as if they were the moon surrounded by stars, and then Qiao Yu went to Peter Schultz's place for a stroll.

The main purpose is to re-encourage Germany's most famous mathematical genius.

Some of the Fields Medal winner's recent vicious words have also reached Qiao Yu's ears, even making him feel embarrassed.

It's a bit too much.

He even modestly calls himself an ordinary person. What would his director Tian think?
After all, our own director Tian couldn’t even win the Fields Medal.

I stayed in Peter Schultz's room for a full hour. Not only was Peter Schultz there, but Tao Xuanzhi was also there.

However, Qiao Yu did not favor one over the other. He kept silent about his Qiao Yu modal space, but discussed his liquid tensor experiment and condensed matter mathematical theory with Peter Schultz.

His purpose of coming here was to boost Peter Schultz's confidence, and Peter Schultz was indeed quite cooperative.

In addition, Tao Xuanzhi had studied a wide range of mathematics and understood everything, so the three of them had a very pleasant chat.

At least Qiao Yu could feel that Peter Schultz's condition had visibly improved.

The only pity is that he has not thought deeply about what Peter Schultz is researching, and cannot offer any useful suggestions for the time being.

However, Peter Schultz began to think about whether he could combine the generalized modal axiom system with his condensed matter mathematics, such as using Qiao Yu's high-dimensional superposition theory, to provide a more accurate mathematical description of the collective behavior in multi-body systems...

With the help of some theories proposed by Qiao Yu, this also seems to make computer-assisted theorem proving possible.

Seeing that Peter Schultz had regained the motivation to do research, Qiao Yu said goodbye immediately.

Leave time for Peter Schultz and Tao Xuanzhi or bring in more people to continue the discussion.

Anyway, he has no interest in staying with these old people all the time.

He walked slowly back to the Yanbei International Center for Mathematical Research and saw from afar that the light in the small suite on the first floor where he used to live was on again.

When he got closer, the door was pushed open and a familiar person appeared in front of him again.

The moment he saw this person, Qiao Yu was delighted.

"Haha, Uncle Zheng, what did I say? We'll meet again soon. But why did you come today? I thought we'd have to wait for a while."

That’s right, the person who lives downstairs is Zheng Xiwen.

When Qiao Yu went to Philadelphia to attend the International Congress of Mathematicians, he and a man named Zhang Mingyu were always by his side and were responsible for his security.

Zheng Xiwen smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying, "How dare you wait for a while? Do you know how badly the cryptocurrency market has fallen? Your presentation has caused many people to lose all their money."

"Oh?" Qiao Yu was a little surprised, but soon understood the reason.

Cryptocurrency is something that can fluctuate drastically at the slightest disturbance.

Not to mention the so-called blockchain technology that uses public key encryption and hash functions to ensure the security and anonymity of network transactions.

Coincidentally, quantum computing can actually make all these security measures ineffective.

And cryptocurrencies are different from the stock market.

At least the latter company has assets to back it up, but once cryptocurrency loses its security, it will be even worse than waste paper.

Waste paper can also be recycled.

Therefore, the ability to resist risks is naturally very poor. It is common to experience big ups and downs at the slightest disturbance.

But Qiao Yu didn't take this matter to heart. In his opinion, cryptocurrency trading is gambling, gambling on human nature, gambling on the conscience of the dealer...

Since it is gambling, there is always a possibility of losing. If not this time, it may be the next time. If you put the blame on him, then he must have a brain tumor.

"But there's no need to be so careful, right? I usually stay on campus and don't go out. The school security is pretty serious."

Qiao Yu sighed casually.

Zheng Xiwen looked at Qiao Yu and smiled without commenting.

This guy can cause turmoil in the financial market with just a random lecture.

In fact, it’s more than just the cryptocurrency circle.
In just one day, financial markets in many countries began to fluctuate, and the U.S. tech stocks that had just opened began to fall...

It’s such a pity that we didn’t plan ahead for this black swan event!
