Although Zheng Xiwen always felt that Qiao Yu had misunderstood artificial intelligence technology, after all, his understanding of artificial intelligence was that he would input his needs and artificial intelligence would give him a relatively accurate answer.

For example, he might ask an AI to generate a report for him, ideally one that can be easily modified and submitted to satisfy his superiors.

Instead of creating something extremely abstract that even he himself finds incomprehensible, let alone how to deal with his superiors.

But he still chose to believe in Qiao Yu and in July's future abilities.

After all, Qiao Yu had said that July's abilities would grow exponentially along with her learning process.

Zheng Xiwen also asked what would happen if July was allowed to make mistakes in managing major projects in the future, given that they are being so lenient with her now.
Qiao Yu casually replied, "July will understand the significance of various safety redundancy designs involved in major projects. If it still makes a big mistake when it needs to do this, we might as well just clear out the inventory and redesign it."

Qiao Yu said those words in this office.

Zheng Xiwen thought this thing would suddenly pop up to protest or express its determination again.

But that July, nothing was said; it was very silent…

Zheng Xiwen naturally had no idea whether artificial intelligence could feel fear or dread.

But if he doesn't speak, he's probably still afraid, right?
Yes, after spending a lot of time with her, Zheng Xiwen genuinely starts to see July as a human being, not as some kind of mindless artificial intelligence.

After all, I used to get sore throats when I used this thing before, and then I'd just blast myself into the microphone. This thing can even act cute and charming towards me.

Of course, Zheng Xiwen can choose not to use it, but this is a tool for Qiao Yu's internal referral.

If we consider communicating with July as a game, then those who receive beta test qualifications from Qiao Yu are beta testers.

We should let them use it more often, as it will help July grow quickly, so we should all give Qiao Yu face. Even if it's not very useful, we should still assign it one or two tasks every day.

Of course, Qiao Yu used it the most frequently.

Not only are emails and various social media apps handled by July, but her phone is also frequently taken over by her.

At home, Qiao Zisheng has gotten used to spending time with July while doing his homework every day.

Although there is no physical design yet in July, as long as a tablet or other device that is directly connected to the Taiji computer is placed next to it, July can supervise Qiao Zisheng to do his homework and complete various tasks assigned by teachers in school.

To be fair, Zheng Xiwen witnessed firsthand how July taught Qiao Zixing. It was quite interesting; if it could actually be incorporated into learning machines in the future, it would likely be a bestseller.

After all, it really does resolve a lot of family conflicts, making families where chaos erupts as soon as the kids start doing their homework much more harmonious.

Although it was only born a few months ago in July, it can already handle elementary and middle school level questions with ease.

Moreover, it's not just a simple problem-solving exercise; the explanation process is extremely clear, and most importantly, it's tailored to children's thinking patterns, dissecting the difficult points from various simple perspectives.

In short, if Qiao Yu's purpose in designing July was not to manage a massive aerospace system, or spaceships and lunar bases, but rather to create an intelligent learning machine, he would undoubtedly make a fortune.

Unfortunately, Qiao Yu wasn't interested in simply making money.

There are no plans to commercialize July. In Qiao Yu's words, July is unique, and its future will certainly be to serve humanity, but it can never become a mere commodity.

Otherwise it would be too wasteful.

Of course, this is not the most regrettable thing for Zheng Xiwen.

What he regrets most is that Qiao Yu and Xia Keke's child is not a genius, or at least so far, Qiao Zisheng has not shown any ability to surpass ordinary people.

Especially her math grades, which are terrible. She's already in fourth grade, and even with a top-notch tutor like July helping her with her homework every day, she still frequently gets the "chicken and rabbit in the same cage" problem wrong.

Qiao Xi and her son Qiao Yu seem to have a very open-minded attitude towards this matter.

Genetic inheritance is always a very random thing.

Xia Keke, however, has held a grudge all these years. After all, she wasn't exactly a poor student back then.
Although she couldn't compare to Qiao Yu, her math scores never fell out of the top five in her class when she was in elementary school.

Nobody is like Qiao Zixing, whose grades are among the worst in the class.

Every time Xia Keke goes to a parent-teacher conference, she feels embarrassed to mention that Qiao Zixing's father is Qiao Yu.

After all, if they really knew, they certainly wouldn't doubt Qiao Yu's intelligence...

So, Xia Keke, who has been troubled by this for the past two years, has been wanting to have a second child to prove her intelligence...

I was very busy recently, and Qiao Yu always felt that it wasn't good for the two children to be so close in age, so I put the matter aside for the time being.

Fortunately, Coco's wish came true again not long ago. She's now comfortably at home preparing for pregnancy.

After all, Xia Keke had high hopes for the baby in her belly this time.

So this timing is perfect. Holding a mathematics conference to showcase Qiao Yuxin's research findings to the world is a good idea, Zheng Xiwen thinks.

He just hopes that things will go smoothly in July when handling this invitation, and that nothing unexpected will happen that will cause him a lot of trouble...

However, considering that inviting those mathematicians to attend Qiao Yu's lecture is not a big deal, it should be fine in July, right?
……

Western University, UCLA.

When Tao Xuanzhi opened his email as usual, the first thing he saw was the email pinned to the top.

The reason it was automatically pinned to the top was because he had set Qiao Yu's email address as a priority.

After all, he didn't want to miss the email Qiao Yu sent him.

Even when Qiao Yu didn't send him an email for a while, he felt an indescribable sense of loss.

To paraphrase a joke he once made with a friend, the only thing in the mathematics community of this era that is beyond question is probably Qiao Yu's academic level.

A man more than twenty years younger than him has been leading the development of mathematics throughout his era.

Even in the formal sense of establishing a new school of thought, at least in his view, his status in the mathematical community had already surpassed that of all previous mathematicians since Qiao Yu proposed the axiomatic system of generalized modalities.

The contributions of Newton, Gauss, Riemann, and other historical giants to mathematics pale in comparison to Qiao Yu's contributions.

Of course, his argument was not accepted by the mainstream Western mathematics community. But Tao Xuanzhi felt that this was not important.

History is written by posterity. Future mathematicians will surely offer a relatively fair assessment.

Therefore, he would naturally pay more attention to Qiao Yu's emails.

After clicking on it, I found it was an invitation, and a rather interesting one at that.

The invitation only stated that Qiao Yu would soon be holding a lecture entitled "In Memory of Lotte Dugan and Value Dynamics from Modal Axioms to Metamathematical Levels" at the Centennial Auditorium of Yanbei University.

Given that he specifically posted a blog post online asking what Qiao Yu had been busy with during his years of silence, he was specially invited to attend this report meeting.

However, the invitation did not include the specific date of the conference or the contact person's phone number. Instead, it contained a long string of modal expressions in the attachment…

Well, for Tao Xuanzhi, this was obviously not a problem that was too difficult for him to understand.

After all, he had been studying Geometric algebraic geometry for several years, and after a simple analysis of the formula, he roughly understood the meaning of the expression.

He only needs to calculate the result of Δt and then substitute it into the t_ref of the expression structure to get the accurate time of the report meeting.

The attachment also notes that the modal numbers generated during the problem-solving process, when converted into numerical values, become the contact number for this report meeting.

The letters corresponding to the modal numbers are the contact person's email addresses.

It was also noted that a total of 3,000 invitations were sent out, all to mathematicians who had conducted research on Geiger algebraic geometry in the past three years and whose papers had been cited a certain number of times.

However, the Yanbei University Centennial Hall, where this lecture was held, can only accommodate about 2,100 people, so about 900 people may not be able to attend this grand event.

Therefore, it is hoped that the mathematicians who received the invitation will not publicize the results excessively if they obtain them.

If all three thousand mathematicians solve the problem within the stipulated time and obtain the conference date, contact information, and email address, thus obtaining the registration code for the conference, then it means that who can attend and who cannot will be determined by random lottery.

Furthermore, the letter specifically emphasized that when the final list of invited participants to this conference is announced, it will not be simultaneously revealed whether the selection was based on random selection or on problem-solving speed.

To be honest, this was the first time Tao Xuanzhi had received such an invitation.

It's very interesting, but then again, Tao Xuanzhi thinks it's quite amusing.

Especially the latter part of the title of this mathematics conference.

Value dynamics at the metamathematical level.

If a mathematician were to give a presentation and introduce this new term, he would probably dismiss it with disdain.

He didn't even bother to look at the invitation, let alone solve the problem.

Having worked in the field of mathematics for so many years, he had seen far too many mathematicians who liked to "innovate".

Unfortunately, 99.99% of this kind of innovation is just self-indulgence.

They create a new term, but the actual content can't stand scrutiny, and some people's writing is even logically incoherent...

This even includes some former mathematical luminaries.

To this, Tao Xuanzhi could only say that these people were senile...

For example, when a certain mathematical luminary announced in his later years that he had solved the Riemann Hypothesis, it caused a huge uproar in the world of mathematics.

Many people simply avoid discussing this issue.

After all, solving the Riemann Hypothesis in just four pages requires either proven prior research or it's pure nonsense...

At least at that time, there were no groundbreaking new research methods for prime numbers, so when Tao Xuanzhi first heard about this, he knew it was nonsense...

Ultimately, the facts proved that his judgment was correct.

But since it was a new word created by Qiao Yu, it was still very attractive to Tao Xuanzhi.

Just like when Qiao Yu first introduced the axiomatic system of generalized modalities, it was a new term in the mathematics community, but the effect was remarkable.

Of the seven Millennium Problems that had perplexed mathematicians for over a century, only one had been solved mathematically before the advent of the generalized modal axiomatic system.

But now three more problems have been solved, and significant progress has been made in research on the remaining three problems.

Especially the Hodge conjecture and the BSD conjecture.

According to some recent related papers, the proof paths for these two problems are becoming increasingly clear.

The day is just around the corner when we finally take that step.

As for the NP-complete problem that has most troubled mathematicians, some methods have reportedly been found.

Therefore, Qiao Yu put forward a new idea, and Tao Xuanzhi did not feel any aversion to it at all, but rather felt excited.

If a new and extremely rigorous mathematical system is constructed, it means that Qiao Yu has brought a whole new set of tools to the mathematical community.

This also means that mathematics can be pushed to new heights.

For someone truly passionate about mathematics, this kind of lecture is absolutely not to be missed.

Therefore, Tao Xuanzhi felt that using this method as an admission ticket to this meeting was at least acceptable to him.

And to be honest, Tao Xuanzhi felt that inviting 3,000 people to this report meeting was indeed a bit too many.

Tao Xuanzhi also believes that there are so many people who can understand Qiao Yu's report at this stage.

In fact, even now, there are not many mathematicians in the world who can keep up with Qiao Yu's line of thought.

At least in Tao Xuanzhi's view, there must be fewer than three thousand people.

Furthermore, many professors like to bring their students to these conferences.

To be honest, Tao Xuanzhi felt that this wouldn't be of much help to those students.

After all, some of the concepts proposed by Qiao Yu are extremely abstract, and are too difficult for students who have not yet fully grasped abstract algebra, automorphic forms and L-functions to understand.

The questions in the attachment can be used for a screening process.

Although he only glanced at the questions a few times, Tao Xuanzhi already felt that without a deep understanding of Georg algebraic geometry and modal mathematical systems, it would be quite difficult to find the correct answer.

Once he got interested, Tao Xuanzhi simply put down what he was doing and began to seriously solve the problem.

An hour later, he decided to retract his earlier assessment.

Even with in-depth research into Georg algebraic geometry and modal mathematical systems, solving this problem still requires considerable effort.

The modal functions in this problem are very "convoluted", and even use the technique of nested levels.

The outer modal ζ function is defined on the noncommutative torus Tmod, while the inner one acts on the section of Singer's loop Sg...

Not to mention that the problem itself also has topological obstacles.

Tao Xuanzhi originally thought that an hour would be enough to solve the problem, but who knew that he had been stuck in it since morning and it wasn't until 3 p.m. that he finally found the answer. He even forgot to eat lunch.

Well, looking at the final result, Tao Xuanzhi, feeling his stomach starting to ache with hunger, thought Qiao Yu had gone a little too far this time… (End of Chapter)
