"Of course I don't want to go back to the way things were, and Thomas probably doesn't either. Because I didn't have my own room before, I had to live with Thomas. But he didn't like living with me because he always complained that my feet smelled. But you know what? Actually, my feet don't smell at all, he's just selfish!"

……

“When I was little? To be honest, I don’t remember much, but Thomas said it was a terrible time. I couldn’t sleep one time and I sneaked into his room. We talked until very late, and that’s what he told me.”

……

“Haha, the kids are really funny. Yes, Thomas and George don't get along very well, but he takes good care of his little brother. But they're right, we used to have a really tough time! There were many times I felt like I couldn't go on, but thankfully Richard persevered…”

……

Filming in China went very smoothly. Michael Roddy also obtained a wealth of footage.

Of course, the interviewees were not only Richard and his family, but also his coworkers at the company, the leaders of Huaxia, and his neighbors.

This has made Michael Roddy look forward to his upcoming trip to China.

the reason is simple.

Before his agent helped him get the role in this film, he had already researched online how much these three states had changed.

But to be honest, what you find online is mostly just a rough estimate.

It's just that the city looks newer, with more houses, smoother roads, and even green belts in the middle of the roads.

It looks beautiful. But the Chinese are known for this. They care a lot about the form of propaganda and external appearances.

For example, no matter what large-scale event it hosts, whether it's the Olympics, the Asian Games, or other competitions, the opening ceremony has almost zero tolerance for any mistakes.

From his perspective as a documentary director, all of this was completely unnecessary. China always likes to elevate matters of appearance to a level that should be appropriate for its own administration.

But now, after being exposed to the thoughts of countless ordinary people, his feelings have changed.

He always felt that China's sudden rise was not accidental; looking back more than 30 years, the United States must have done something wrong.

He couldn't find the answer now, but he believed that once he got to China, he might be able to find the answer he was looking for.

Moreover, he has been informed that after Richard and his family arrive in China, they will have the opportunity to speak face-to-face with Qiao Yu, the chief designer of the lunar landing.

This means that as the director of this documentary, he can also participate in the entire dialogue.

He might even have the chance to communicate directly with the smartest people in the world.

This also excited Michael Roddy.

It has nothing to do with idol worship. Some things are clearer to intelligent people than he is, and they might be able to answer his questions.

Fortunately, this day is not hard to come by.

June passed quickly, and by the end of June, John's two younger children were the first to begin their final exams, followed by Tony, who finished his midterms in early July.

Of course, the exam dates for Western University are different in other states.

Because now all the reformed education models in the three states have been completely assimilated by China.

First, the week-long spring break was canceled, and the summer vacation was moved from mid-June to early July.

However, the Thanksgiving and Easter holidays were retained.

Unfortunately, the new education model has increased the amount of material students need to learn, and without adjusting the holidays, they simply cannot keep up with the learning pace.

After all three children finished their exams, the family joined the film crew on their journey to China the next day.

China, Beijing, Yanbei International Mathematical Research Center.

Zheng Xiwen took a deep breath outside Qiao Yu's office and then knocked on the office door.

"Please come in."

Qiao Yu's voice came from inside, and Zheng Xiwen opened the door and went in.

However, seeing that Qiao Yu was holding a pen and writing something, he didn't disturb him.

He simply went to the water dispenser, filled a glass of water, and then sat on the sofa to wait patiently.

It is common sense that mathematicians should not let anything interfere with their train of thought, especially Qiao Yu's train of thought.

Ten years ago, when he was first assigned to Qiao Yu's side, his superiors had repeatedly given him instructions.

He even underwent two weeks of training in order to be competent for this task.

Of course, if he were to leave now, he would probably also require training for his successor.

After all, his current task is very heavy. He bears a great responsibility.

Even if a single piece of paper accidentally slips out of this office, he'll get a scolding! And if the paper contains any confidential information, he'll be in even more trouble!

This is no joke.

Qiao Yu always uses specially numbered sheets of paper for calculations. He makes sure every sheet is recorded after use. Unauthorized disposal is generally forbidden; the sheets must be shredded at least in a P-6 level shredder.

Of course, most of the manuscripts were sealed away. Therefore, very few of Qiao Yu's manuscripts were found outside, or even none at all.

However, some of his early manuscripts on solving mathematical problems have been lost. But those things don't really matter.

As for Qiao Yu's current attitude of ignoring him after letting him in, Zheng Xiwen was already used to it.

He knew very well that Qiao Yu wasn't deliberately neglecting him, but rather that she was pondering something and had reached a crucial point.

So I didn't have time to deal with him.

At this point, he just needs to keep quiet. As long as Qiao Yu stays in this office, he won't have much to do.

To put it slightly exaggeratedly, within a one-kilometer radius of this small building, not even a fly from out of town could fly in without permission.

He can sit here and clear his mind, contemplate life...

"Did you know that if we decompose the physical space Omega into a series of modal fiber bundles, we can obtain that Omega is equal to the direct sum of the αβ of each F subspace when the parameters α and β belong to M?"

The sudden sound snapped Zheng Xiwen out of his reverie, and he looked blankly at Qiao Yu, who was already leaning back in the large chair.

"Excuse me, are you talking to me?"

"It's alright. Let's assume you're a mathematician right now, and we're discussing this."

The person leaning back in the chair said something casually.

"Okay, but I don't understand!" Zheng Xiwen said helplessly. This kind of role-playing game is a total rip-off.

"Oh, so now you must be playing the role of a physicist. Let's re-describe it in the context of geometric physics."

What I mean is that the physical space Omega is decomposed into the direct sum of all modal fiber subspaces F_αβ on the parametric manifold M.

This explains the local-global correspondence of fiber bundles. From this, we can derive a formula: the trace of the square of the modified Laplacian operator is equal to the square of Nue multiplied by the square of the modified curvature tensor norm. You probably already know what this means. That's right, it represents the energy dissipation mechanism of fiber bundles.

When M is a Khler manifold, Δ_{mod} will automatically satisfy this equation. Therefore, the energy dissipation rate will be geometrically constrained, which is the most crucial step in eliminating singularities.

Therefore, we can derive a curvature regularization theorem that allows us to transform the finite-time bursting of the traditional Navier-Stokes equations into a local conformal flattening process of the parametric manifold M! Do you know what this means?

Zheng Xiwen frowned, then asked cooperatively, "I don't know, so what does it mean?"

I've never had this kind of perverse sense of humor before.

In fact, Qiao Yu had never discussed professional issues with him. At most, they would talk about how to carry out the lunar landing project.

As for those things like manifolds and Laplace operators...

What the hell is this?

"It's very simple. This means that within my Joe algebraic geometry framework, classical viscosity terms and modal curvature can achieve a perfect correspondence. How much of what I just told you did you remember?"

If you write everything down, then later find a mathematician or physicist and have them repeat exactly what I told you. Then you'll understand what it means.

Qiao Yu said in a lonely tone.

It's not very interesting. Tao Xuanzhi hasn't even arrived yet, nor has he offered any constructive suggestions, and he suddenly has this damned inspiration.

The channels for communication among mathematicians hadn't even been fully established yet... Indeed, his life was destined to be lonely.

Zheng Xiwen pondered silently for a moment, then honestly shook his head and replied, "I can't repeat it. What you said is too complicated; I can't remember it."

Qiao Yu waved to him, and then Zheng Xiwen stood up and walked over.

His eyes subconsciously glanced at the manuscript paper on Qiao Yu's desk, which contained only eight or nine formulas of varying lengths.

However, some of the writing was too messy, and he could only recognize a few of them. Of course, he still couldn't understand most of the symbols.

Even so, Zheng Xiwen subconsciously felt that this piece of paper would probably become very valuable because of these formulas.

"I'll teach you how to read the symbols in these formulas, and then you'll be able to read them. Let's look at the first formula first."

The left side means the result of the modal correction covariant derivative of the vector field X acting on the gradient u of the N-subscript alpha and beta.

The right side describes inputting the ordinary gradient u into an N operator with parameters of alpha plus phiX and beta minus psiX. This represents the dynamic compensation mechanism of the modal parameters under the influence of the derivative.

Zheng Xiwen was even more troubled, staring at Qiao Yu and saying, "No, Qiao Yu, why do you want me to memorize all this? Why don't you just show everyone the formulas?"

Qiao Yu said seriously, "Because I plan to put all this in the shredder after telling you all this, and then deliberately forget about it!"
If you can't remember or remember it wrong, it's not a big deal. It just means that theoretical mathematics, applied mathematics, and even physics might be delayed by a few years or even decades.

So you'd better pay attention in the coming days. We don't expect you to understand everything, just remember it accurately! Congratulations, you're about to participate in a project that will shape the history of academic research worldwide.

For a moment, Zheng Xiwen felt his head buzzing...

He knew that Qiao Yu's mind would occasionally come up with some inexplicable ideas.

But I never expected them to go this far!
Zheng Xiwen understands Qiao Yu. When this guy says those words so seriously, he really means it.

So his hand instinctively reached for the communication device on his body, which had a recording function.

"Don't touch anything, listen carefully! Recording is against the rules! You have to trust your memory."

Qiao Yu interrupted Zheng Xiwen's actions.

These words made Zheng Xiwen freeze for a moment. He shouldn't have done what Qiao Yu asked and removed the microphone from the office camera...

"You should note that φ and ψ here are actually pullback mappings from the tangent bundle TM to the parametric manifold M."

When dealing with computational fluid dynamics problems, this formula allows us to decompose the viscous terms in the traditional Navier-Stokes equations into dynamic adjustments of modal parameters, thereby avoiding mesh singularities.

Of course, this has not yet been verified by supercomputing experiments, but I estimate that it can improve the energy spectral resolution of turbulence simulation by at least two orders of magnitude.

But that's not the most interesting part. If we interpret alpha as the runaway curvature coupling constant and beta as the intensity of quantum fluctuations...

Did you know? This might allow for a unified formulation of general relativity and quantum field theory within the framework of modal fiber bundles. So, have you memorized this formula?

Zheng Xiwen swallowed hard, then said, "Not yet, say it again..."

After about two hours, Qiao Yu finally finished explaining the meaning of all the formulas on the manuscript paper.

Then he looked at Zheng Xiwen and casually asked, "Oh right, I forgot to ask why you came to see me?"

"Wait a minute..." Zheng Xiwen didn't answer directly, but rushed out of Qiao Yu's office.

For two hours, it was less that Zheng Xiwen was listening to Qiao Yu's explanation and more that he was memorizing all the formulas in his head using his own method.

He only vaguely remembered what Qiao Yu said, but he memorized every letter and symbol in the formula several times over...

How to explain it doesn't really matter to him; as long as these formulas exist, someone will definitely be able to pry Qiao Yu's mouth open...

Fortunately, all the math gurus who helped Qiao Yu are still alive.

He needs to take advantage of the moment when his memory is at its best to quickly write down all those formulas from memory, then keep them safe and hand them in.

As for the trouble that Qiao Yu's inexplicable behavior caused at work...

In fact, Zheng Xiwen had his own suspicions.

The higher-ups want to change his position again.

Of course, this situation is perfectly normal. On the contrary, it would be rather abnormal for him to be kept by Qiao Yu's side like this.

These are all based on scientific evidence.

For example, if security personnel maintain long-term contact with a fixed group, the probability of discovering vulnerabilities and turning the individual into a defector will increase significantly.

Furthermore, research shows that when fixed security personnel serve the same target for more than 18 months, their risk identification sensitivity decreases by nearly 40%...

All current scientific security rotation systems are designed to build a dynamic asymmetric defense system, which strengthens security by continuously reconstructing the spatiotemporal characteristics of the protection system.

Including him now, the mandatory psychological isolation assessment and review that used to be conducted once a year has now been shortened to once every three months.

Moreover, his men have changed seven times already. Only he remains by Qiao Yu's side. And coincidentally, he is the main person in charge of security.

He suspected that Qiao Yu had become too lazy to argue with the higher-ups and was simply using this method to keep him by her side.

But there's nothing we can do... who told this guy to have the right to be so capricious?! (End of Chapter)
