The unparalleled talent of the country started from Harbin Institute of Technology

Chapter 307 The idea is clear
July 1986, Blackwell Farm, Texas, in the southern United States.

Due to the failure of his previous mission in Nanda Devi, India, which not only failed to bring the target back to the United States but also resulted in the loss of hundreds of people, Theodor Wagner was forced to resign and return to his rural Texas home to become a rancher.

Over the years, he has made a lot of money in his special affairs firm, and he is also very good at 'investing', so he is still able to live a very leisurely life after 'retirement'.

"Fuck, who are you... Waaah!"

In the early hours of that day, in the villa on their own farm, more than thirty dogs, without uttering a single bark, were easily sneaked into the room and their owners were kidnapped.

Wagner never imagined that his leisurely retirement life would be tragically ruined in less than half a month.

He had no idea who had kidnapped him.

Beijing, Wenjin Street compound.

Fang Lihe is contacting Wang Duoyu to briefly explain what happened on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

In June of that year, Wang Duoyu was hunting at the Ali Observatory camp on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau when he was attacked.

Although he returned safely in the end, it was ultimately a terrible experience for Wang Duoyu.

The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is our territory, yet it was attacked because of it. How could Wang Duoyu be happy about that?
Therefore, retaliation is inevitable.

Afterwards, Wang Duoyu made a special donation to several organizations.

Although Wang Duoyu knew that even if he didn't donate money, the relevant departments would not sit idly by and would definitely handle the matter properly.

But Wang Duoyu was not convinced of his own ideas, so he still donated the money and even embezzled tens of millions of US dollars.

How much is this money?
It depends on who it is. For Wang Duoyu, this amount of money is indeed not much.

However, for someone who likes to raise more funds and then invest them in scientific research, Wang Duoyu's donation of tens of millions of US dollars is quite generous.

However, even after the donation, it took nearly two months for there to be any further progress.

From Fang Lihe, Wang Duoyu learned that the person who had tried to frame him last time was none other than the former head of the Special Affairs Office, Theodor Wagner.

"Wagner has retired, and our people have taken him to Hong Kong Island."

"According to this person's confession, their special agency wanted to 'invite' you to their office to help them set up more comprehensive and robust security measures."

After listening to Fang Lihe's words, Wang Duoyu remained calm on the surface, but his heart was burning with rage. He wished he could subject Wagner to a variety of punishments, including being torn apart by chariots, cut in half at the waist, beaten with sticks, castrated, boiled, subjected to all five forms of torture, and slowly sliced ​​to death.

Even so, it was difficult to quell the hatred in his heart.

Having been given a second chance at life, he deeply understands the preciousness of freedom.

He was neither his cousin from his past life, who was willing to commit suicide for love, nor his younger brother Wang Duoshi from this life, who was impulsive, easily angered, and reckless.

The United States may seem great, but it's full of petty thieves and lowlifes.

A while ago, Want Want Group held a meeting of senior executives, where Hela O'Brien recounted the grudges and rivalries between Hollywood and Wall Street.

Hollywood and Wall Street are capable of fighting tooth and nail for profit, let alone other things.

It's fair to say that countless dirty things have happened on the North American continent.

If Wang Duoyu was indeed "invited" to the so-called special agency by someone sent by Wagner, then he could imagine that he would be met with endless darkness.

If that's really the case, he would definitely prefer to commit suicide after realizing he can't escape.

I'm afraid Wagner and his ilk won't even give him the chance to commit suicide.

Yes, this is different from his cousin in his previous life. It was easy for him to commit suicide, but if he went to the special agency in the United States, it would be very difficult for him to commit suicide.

He had finally been given a second chance at life and had finally achieved a decent life. If he were to lose everything he had now because of Wagner, and even lose the right to commit suicide, he would naturally feel desperate and extremely angry.

So he appeared to be fine on the surface, but he was actually very angry inside.

"Sir, once Wagner arrives, may I personally see him off on his journey?"

Although Wang Duoyu was not in any danger, he was very angry, so he made this request.

Fang Lihe was stunned when he heard this.

After two seconds, he finally spoke and asked:
"Duoyu, what did you just say? You said you were going to personally send Wagner on his way?"

"Yes, boss, you heard me right. I really do want to see them off; otherwise, I won't feel at ease."

After confirming, Fang Lihe did not immediately agree, declining and saying that he needed to discuss it with other leaders first.

Upon hearing this, Wang Duoyu nodded in agreement, but he strongly hoped to see Wagner off on his final journey.

After hanging up the phone, Wang Duoyu thought for a moment and then called Liu Deben.

Then he called Zheng Baoyin, Wang Jianchao, and a few others over and said:
"I suddenly thought of something. After you go to the United States, collect all the newspapers from major media outlets in Los Angeles, New York, and other cities, and send them back to me once a week."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Baoyin and the other man were immediately surprised.

Why do you suddenly want these newspapers?

"You don't need to worry about all that, just help me collect these newspapers, such as The Wall Street Journal, the San Francisco Chronicle, the Los Angeles Times, and the New York Times, among others."

Wang Duoyu said:

"Also, if there's a chance to make money this time, I'll take you along, but only if you obey my orders and don't cause any trouble!"

Upon hearing this, Zheng Baoyin and the others were overjoyed and nodded excitedly.

Sure enough, following Wang Duoyu, there's no shortage of opportunities to make money.

I just don't know how much money I'll make this time.

Wang Duoyu didn't know how much money he could make; he would have to wait and see.

"O'Brien, once you return to New York this time, find more trustworthy and capable traders as soon as possible. Remember, I only need newcomers, not those old hands."

After a pause, Wang Duoyu continued:

"The total number of people may need to be around two hundred, so from now until next August, you must train these people for me."

"A clean background, loyalty, kindness, and a friendly, cooperative attitude are my top priorities. I need someone who won't betray the company and can withstand any test."

"When the plan is launched next year, all of their families will have to move to Hong Kong or Harbin. Do you understand?"

Upon hearing this, Hela O'Brien immediately nodded solemnly.

Although he didn't know why Wang Duoyu would suddenly bring this up, and they were right next to the big lake in front of the Want Want Group headquarters, even if there were no outsiders around, shouldn't they be discussing this kind of thing in a meeting room?

But no matter what, he knew what to do.

Wang Duoyu rarely gives instructions on these matters. Even though O'Brien has only been a senior executive at Want Want Group for a few years, he has heard a lot about Wang Duoyu's work style.

So at this point, he should just nod; don't ask so many questions.

After making the arrangements, Wang Duoyu returned to the lakeside and, with a smile, instructed Wang Jianda:

"Jianda, from now on, you can keep an eye on this big lake for me, and remember to feed it small fish and shrimp regularly."

"This is especially true in winter."

Sturgeon grow extremely slowly, usually taking about ten to twenty years to reach maturity. Once they are adults, they are very large, with a meter in length being commonplace.

So the 500-plus-pound giant that got off the hook in the Songhua River might just have been a juvenile sturgeon.

Given this, it's possible that there aren't many sturgeon, which live in slow-moving, sandy riverbeds, in the Songhua River.

After all, if there really were many huge objects weighing hundreds or thousands of kilograms, then we would probably hear rumors about them quite often.

"By the way, you could go to Fuyuan. It's located in the lower reaches of the Songhua River, so you might be able to catch more sturgeon there."

Upon hearing Wang Duoyu's words, Wang Jianda quickly replied that it was no problem.

Sturgeon grow slowly, and it's very difficult for juveniles to grow up.

Thinking of this, Wang Duoyu couldn't help but think of the Songliao Canal project that was currently under negotiation.

Once this project is started, it will inevitably require the construction of more reservoirs.

At that time, a dam can be built in my hometown of Dahonggou Village to block the river section, or even a giant reservoir can be dug and built directly next to it.

There is a valley near Dahonggou Village that is very suitable for water storage. It does not need to be dug deep; all that is needed is to build a dam at the valley's outlet.

However, the stream in this valley doesn't have a large flow rate, and it might take several years to successfully accumulate that much water.

But for Wang Duoyu, all he needed were multiple reservoirs capable of raising different species of fish, such as sturgeon.

Reservoirs are at least bodies of water with relatively strong flow, but large lakes are not necessarily so.

Keep in mind that this is Northeast China, where rainfall and snowfall are quite concerning.

Therefore, water storage is a major problem.

Wang Duoyu didn't dwell on the problem any further; there would always be a smart person who could solve these issues.

In the evening, Wang Duoyu returned home and had just sat down to eat when Fang Lihe called.

The higher-ups have approved it!
Since that's the case, he plans to go out in a few days.

"Xiaoli, I'm going out in a couple of days, and this time I'll most likely be going to Hong Kong Island."

Upon hearing this, before Liu Xiaoli could even speak, the two brothers, Wang Junhong and Wang Junan, beside her, immediately expressed their desire to go as well.

Even Wang Junkang, who was still in the stroller, joined in the crying.

"Brother, you're going to Hong Kong? Can we come with you?"

"Yes, yes, Ninth Brother, several movies were released in Hong Kong in the first half of this year, but I haven't seen any of them."

When it comes to Hong Kong, Wang Meili has a lot to say.

Films released in the first half of this year include "The Millionaires Express", "Aces Go Places 2", "Shaolin Temple 2", and "Lucky Stars", all of which are among the top-grossing films.

There's also "Happy Ghost III," which was released last month, and "A Better Tomorrow," which was released in early August.

According to news reports, the movie "A Better Tomorrow" caused a viewing frenzy immediately after its release in Hong Kong.

Starting with "A Better Tomorrow," Chow Yun-fat experienced a career resurgence, transforming from a box office poison into a box office panacea.

The film quickly grossed over HK$30 million, a phenomenal achievement in 1986.

The Wang sisters, Meili and Meihe, spent a lot of time in Tokyo, Japan last year, and naturally heard a lot about the Hollywood of the East.

Take last year's movies as an example: "Lucky Stars Go Places," "Summer Lucky Stars," "Police Story," "Heart of Dragon," and "Mr. Vampire" are all good movies that grossed over 20 million at the box office.

It was these films that made Hong Kong, the Hollywood of the East, famous throughout the world.

Jackie Chan is the most outstanding movie star among them, with films such as "Dragon Lord" in 1982, "Project A" in 1983, "Wheels on Meals" in 1984, and "Police Story" and "Heart of Dragon" in 1985.

However, although Wang Meili and her friends had seen these movies, they had never been to Hong Kong Island, let alone explored it properly.

This is a rare opportunity, and of course I don't want to miss it.

"Why are you going with them?" Wang Duoyu shook his head and asked.
"I'm only going for half a day this time, I'll be back soon, and I won't stay in Hong Kong for long."

His trip to Hong Kong Island was solely for the purpose of sending Wagner on his way and for clearing his own mind; nothing more.

If you're thinking of going to Hong Kong for sightseeing, well, there's really no need.

Hong Kong's film industry is thriving, but also chaotic.

Hong Kong in the 1980s was just a concrete jungle, not very attractive.

"Huh? You were only gone for half a day? What were you doing there?" Liu Xiaoli and the others were very disappointed, and then asked.

"Keep it secret!"

Wang Duoyu didn't reveal it, and continued:

"If you want to travel, you can go to Guangzhou or Chengdu. After I return from Guangzhou, I will stay there for a few days before heading to Chengdu."

"Dad, I want to go to Guangzhou! I want to be an island owner!"

When it comes to Guangzhou, Wang Junhong has a lot to say, such as Ersha Island, which he has always longed to visit.

Last summer, his father bought Ersha Island in Guangzhou, intending to build it into their home in Guangzhou.

Although the area around Ersha Island was still a desolate vegetable field and village at this time, it was completely different from the bustling central business district that Wang Duoyu remembered from his previous life.

But Wang Junhong didn't care about any of that; all he knew was that he wanted to be the island's owner.

Liu Xiaoli and the others laughed when they heard this.

And so, that's the decision.

Two days later, a plane took off from Yanjiagang Airport and landed smoothly at Guangzhou Baiyun Airport more than three hours later.

Yuan Youlan personally came to the airport to greet him, leaving Wang Duoyu speechless.

"Professor Wang, welcome home!"

"You're not the mayor anymore, you should be called Secretary Yuan now, you're too kind."

After exchanging a few polite words, Wang Duoyu got into the car with the other party and headed straight for the city.

Ersha Island has been completed. It's just a two-story villa with a garden, swimming pool, etc. Apart from a small pier and this villa estate, there's nothing else on the entire island.

There is only one building on the entire island, and it is located in the center of the island, not near the shore.

Around the island, under the big trees, there is a small path that circles the island, used for running, exercising, and walking.

That's roughly the layout. After Wang Duoyu bought it, he gave the construction company the building plans and that was all the requirements.

After arriving near Ersha Island, Wang Duoyu and his group couldn't wait to take a ferry to the island to check on their home.

After arriving on the island, Wang Junhong and the other kids immediately let loose and let loose.

Mu Xiaowu and his group had no choice but to split up and go check out the situation ahead of time.

In fact, Yuan Zuliang had already arranged for someone to check the island before Wang Duoyu and his group arrived, and there are currently security personnel on the island.

Having experienced what happened on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, Wang Duoyu became even more concerned about his safety.

Following the tree-lined path, Wang Duoyu and his friends arrived at the center of the island, chatting and laughing, and saw the villa surrounded by tall trees.

The entire Ersha Island is 600 meters wide from north to south and 3.3 kilometers long from east to west, with a total area of ​​1.76 square kilometers.

It's big, but also small.

Because this is a spindle-shaped island, the villa is located at the widest part of the island, which is right in the center.

Because of the need for seclusion, many of the plants on the island have been transplanted.

This place used to be called Ershatou. There were people living on the island, but Wang Duoyu bought it, so the people here were relocated to other places.

Of course, they must have received substantial compensation, otherwise they wouldn't have left so eagerly.

Once the transplanted trees around the island have grown up, the second floor of the villa can be completely hidden.

Guangzhou is a subtropical region with lush vegetation, where plants typically grow to six or seven meters or more, which is quite common.

Most importantly, the banyan trees here are evergreen all year round, with lush foliage and excellent shade.

After touring the villa, Wang Duoyu and his group checked in.

However, while Liu Xiaoli and the others stayed at the villa, Wang Duoyu went out.

The ferry was ready and set off from the Pearl River Wharf, heading straight for the estuary, crossing the Lingdingyang, and then arriving at an island next to the New Territories, the famous outlying island.

"The professor has arrived!"

As they approached the shore, Yuan Zuliang walked in and spoke to Wang Duoyu, who was in the room.

At this moment, Wang Duoyu was busy calculating something, and he had used up quite a bit of draft paper.

Even when he's out and about, Wang Duoyu rarely wastes his time.

Although the ferry ride might be shaky, thankfully he doesn't get seasick, and the ferry was very stable, so he didn't feel any swaying.

So he can do some mathematical calculations, or read books or something.

After all, it's a long distance from Guangzhou to the outlying islands, and it takes at least three or four hours by ferry.

"it is good!"

Wang Duoyu nodded, then packed up his paper and pen and went outside to the deck. It was sunset, and the sky was already darkening.

The sunset is infinitely good, just near dusk.

After the ferry docked, Wang Duoyu and his group quickly boarded the pier and headed to their destination.

walk!

Yes, we measured the distance from the dock to our destination on foot. Fortunately, it wasn't very long; it only took us about ten minutes to reach our destination.

Upon arriving at the location, Wang Duoyu saw that there were quite a few people there, all of whom were on guard.

Unbeknownst to Wang Duoyu, there were actually quite a few guards hiding in the shadows.

"Professor Wang, welcome."

The person in charge picked up Wang Duoyu, but didn't say much. After exchanging a few pleasantries, he led Wang Duoyu straight to their destination.

Several ordinary houses were in front of him, and Wagner was in one of them.

"Professor Wang, the target is in this small room in the middle."

"Okay, thank you. May I go in now?"

"No problem, but Professor Wang, you need to stay behind me and be careful."

Yuan Zuliang and Mou Xiaowu stayed close to Wang Duoyu, their guns already loaded, their eyes extremely vigilant.

Squeak!

As the door opened, Wang Duoyu finally saw what was inside.

Apart from the four warriors guarding Wagner, there was nothing else in the room.

With a dim light overhead and Wagner tightly bound by chains and silver bracelets, the room looked more like an interrogation room than an ordinary residence.

Hearing the noise, Wagner opened his tired eyes. When he saw Wang Duoyu's face clearly, his pupils dilated instantly, and he became excited.

He had studied Wang Duoyu for many years, so he knew very well what Wang Duoyu looked like.

Therefore, he was very shocked when he saw Wang Duoyu at this time.

"I heard you were looking for me? And you wanted to invite me to help out at your special agency? Well, here I am, aren't you surprised? Unexpected, aren't you?"

Wang Duoyu smiled broadly, seemingly not angry at all.

But that was only on the surface; inside, Wang Duoyu was far from calm.

I am a fisherman and a fisherman!
Wagner was well aware of his situation, so he remained silent.

But his eyes were full of complexity!
He's an old man who's retired from a special affairs office; he should be enjoying his retirement, but now he's fallen to this state—it's truly ironic.

Bang!
After meeting Wagner, Wang Duoyu confirmed with the person in charge next to him again and then personally shot and ended the man's life.

Yuan Zuliang and his group had been following Wang Duoyu for several years, so they weren't too surprised when he shot and killed Wagner.

But the others showed a hint of surprise.

After all, they knew that Wang Duoyu was just a math professor, but he dared to do this, which was really impressive.

After this matter was over, Wang Duoyu did not linger there, nor did he go to the neighboring Hong Kong Island. Instead, he took a ferry and returned directly to Guangzhou.

He traveled all this way just to personally send the other person on their way. Is it really that simple?

Of course not!

Besides sharing his thoughts with Fang Lihe and others, he also wanted to convey a message to Fang Lihe and other leaders: Wang Duoyu is vengeful and will hold a grudge!

He would show no mercy, especially to those who wanted to get rid of him.

The next day, Wang Duoyu visited several companies, including Walsin Technology, Moto Toys Factory, and Facebook. In the evening, he was invited to dinner prepared by Yuan Youlan.

At the dinner table, Yuan Youlan expressed her deep gratitude to Wang Duoyu for his previous strong support and contributions, and repeatedly toasted him.

However, Wang Duoyu used the excuse that he couldn't hold his liquor and didn't drink many cups with the other party.

From Yuan Youlan, Wang Duoyu learned about the current development of Guangzhou.

Many foreign car brands, including Toyota, Nissan, and Peugeot, have established joint venture car factories in Guangzhou.

With so many foreign-invested enterprises, Guangzhou's economic development will accelerate significantly.

In addition, a significant portion of the foreign exchange earned by Yuexiu Company last year, amounting to a full US$2.16 billion, has already returned to Guangzhou.

Last year, Guangzhou's GDP was even lower than Chongqing's, ranking sixth among all cities in China.

Moreover, Shenyang, ranked seventh, is catching up very closely.

So this year, Guangzhou will most likely be able to return to fifth place, or even surpass Tianjin to rank fourth.

Harbin is the undisputed number one with a commanding lead.

Shanghai ranked second, Beijing third, and Tianjin fourth.

Everyone knows very well that this ranking is due to Wang Duoyu.

Whether it's Shanghai, Beijing, or any other city, the chances of catching up with, or even matching or surpassing, Harbin are very slim.

Currently, Harbin is actively promoting the Songliao Canal project. Once this project is fully implemented, it will greatly boost Harbin's economic development.

Even the economic development of the entire Northeast will usher in new and great opportunities.

Yuan Youlan's conversation with Wang Duoyu was not just idle chatter; she hoped to learn more from him.

But Wang Duoyu kept his mouth shut and didn't manage to get any information out of him.

In fact, Wang Duoyu did not follow up on the situation related to the Songliao Canal. He only mentioned it briefly before, and it was mostly Kang Yumin and others who followed up and were responsible for it.

Moreover, Tong Jianwei is now leaving his position as the top official in Harbin and being transferred to Guangdong, where he will have even more work and be busier. Although the Songliao Canal project is urgent, it cannot be rushed.

After all, this matter requires the approval of the capital, it's not that simple.

Tonight's meal lasted a little over two hours, which is quite long, but not too long either.

Yuan Youlan was somewhat frustrated because Wang Duoyu had not revealed any information, nor had he made any further investments or additional bets in Guangzhou.

Therefore, Guangzhou's economic development can only rely on Guangzhou itself going forward.

For the next two days, Wang Duoyu stayed on Ersha Island, never leaving the island.

It wasn't until August 21st that Wang Duoyu set off for Chengdu.

Liu Xiaoli and her group also went to Chengdu, while Wang Junhong and his group were initially reluctant to go, but they had no choice.

Inside the office space of Qianyuan Laboratory, a subsidiary of Chengdu Aircraft Manufacturing Plant, Wang Duoyu walked in alone, led by the person in charge.

Yuan Zuliang and the others did not come with them; only Wang Duoyu went in by himself.

Qian Yuan Laboratory is a key unit, and most people don't even know what kind of unit it is. If Yuan Zuliang and his group hadn't been with Wang Duoyu, they would never have been able to get to the entrance of this laboratory.

The military has confidentiality regulations, and Yuan Zuliang and his comrades are seasoned soldiers, so of course they know what to do.

After entering the Qian Yuan Laboratory, Wang Duoyu began his tour.

Drones are excellent equipment, and in the future, they will be a major modern combat weapon.

The heads of Qian Yuan Laboratory firmly believe this.

After the tour, Wang Duoyu returned to the meeting room they had prepared, sat down, and looked at everyone, saying:

"I plan to increase investment in drones, and Harbin Institute of Technology will also enter the drone field. However, we are moving towards miniaturization and multi-functionality. Your Qian Yuan Laboratory is backed by Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group, so you can focus on large-scale drones."

In fact, Harbin Institute of Technology not only has the Mach 5 fighter jet project, but also the Heilongjiang Aircraft Manufacturing Plant, so it is perfectly reasonable for it to develop towards large-scale unmanned aerial vehicles.

However, Wang Duoyu doesn't like large drones. Instead, he finds smaller drones more challenging and valuable for research.

This is the purpose of Wang Duoyu's trip to Chengdu.

He still remembers very clearly what happened to him near the Ali Observatory camp on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in June.

That's the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. If the enemy had even a little knowledge of the drones he was carrying, they probably wouldn't have gone to the relatively low-lying areas to intercept him.

Because of the lower altitude, it is more difficult for drones to take off, and they will consume energy faster, or even crash or lose signal.

The environment in the plateau region is extremely harsh.

Having witnessed the power of drones and now possessing a certain level of technological foundation, Wang Duoyu plans to invest heavily to see if he can pave a path to the heavens.

Others may not know, but doesn't Wang Duoyu know?

Once drone technology truly takes off, the battlefield advantage of drones with a significant technological lead will be even greater than a dimensional reduction attack.

For example, in terms of reconnaissance and surveillance, drones can hover over target areas for extended periods, continuously monitoring and patrolling, providing real-time and comprehensive battlefield situational information and helping commanders to keep abreast of enemy movements and deployment changes.

Secondly, it's extremely well-hidden!
The miniaturization research direction that Wang Duoyu just mentioned to the many experts at Qian Yuan Laboratory is precisely because of this.

The smaller the drone, the better its stealth capabilities, not to mention its noise reduction technology, which is a strength of Harbin Institute of Technology's pioneering technology.

With its advantages of small size and low noise, it can even be disguised to a certain extent, such as turning the drone into an insect, like a bamboo weevil.

These insects are incredibly good at hiding.

With its super-high-performance battery and low-noise motor, it has a significant advantage when performing tasks.

Furthermore, drones can be equipped with a variety of advanced sensors and camera devices, such as optical cameras, infrared thermal imagers, and radar, enabling them to acquire different types of reconnaissance information.

Previously, during the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau operation, the drones operated by Mu Xiaowu and his team used these devices to detect the enemy's exact location.

It provided the missile with very precise location information.

Finally, there's the advantage of drones in precision strikes.

High-precision target hits, rapid response strikes, long-range non-contact warfare, and reduced ground troop deployment.

In summary, drones offer numerous advantages, but their only drawback is the extremely high level of technical expertise required.

The technical challenges in developing drones include several aspects such as flight control systems, navigation systems, power systems, data link transmission systems, and detection and countermeasure technologies.

After Wang Duoyu finished speaking, the experts from Qian Yuan Laboratory were all beaming with joy and applauded.

Increasing investment is a good thing, but this project may not be so easy.

For the next two days, Wang Duoyu stayed in Chengdu and did not go anywhere else.

Liu Xiaoli and her friends wandered around, and even learned how to play Sichuan Mahjong.

Actually, they had already learned how to play mahjong here before, but they hadn't played it much since returning to Harbin.

During this time, Wang Duoyu stayed in Chengdu, busy with his own things, while Liu Xiaoli and the others were just bored out of their minds.

The scenery isn't particularly beautiful, and you can't look at scenery all day long, you'll get tired of it.

Before he knew it, it was August 27th. Wang Duoyu had finally finished his busy work and was ready to set off back to Harbin.

Upon hearing that they were finally going back to Harbin Institute of Technology, Wang Junhong and the other kids cheered wildly.

Chengdu is nice, but it's still not as comfortable as home.

The plane landed smoothly at Yanjiagang Airport. Lu Yuening and the other children mischievously took off their noise-canceling headphones and then put them back on.

This wasn't their first time flying, so they were somewhat immune to the noise of airplane engines.

Seeing how playful the children were, Wang Meili and the others couldn't help but scold them a few times.

"Alright, stop fooling around, let's get off the plane and go home!"

Wang Duoyu chuckled and stopped Wang Junan's actions, then picked up the little guy and got off the plane first.

After leaving the airport, the car quickly returned to the old campus of Harbin Institute of Technology.

Seeing the somewhat deserted campus, no longer as lively as before, Liu Xiaoli and the others felt a little unaccustomed to it.

Because after the start of the new semester in September this year, undergraduate students will move to the new Weizigou campus, while graduate students and students in the Department of Mathematics will remain at the old campus.

By next year, Wang Duoyu and the others will definitely move to the new campus in Weizigou.

Upon learning that Wang Duoyu had returned, Qiu Chengtong and the others came to find him the very next day.

In the mathematics department's teaching building, in an office, Wang Duoyu looked at John Milno and his group, nodding and agreeing with their words from time to time.

This month, the Harbin Institute of Technology Mathematics Journal published a paper, which is the proof of the Collatz conjecture that Wang Duoyu had previously submitted to Qiu Chengtong and others for review.

This paper is of great value, and everyone attaches great importance to it.

The Kolas conjecture is known as a simple mathematical problem that has stumped many people over the years.

Although it wasn't a particularly popular question, it was proven by Wang Duoyu.

"Professor Wang, has your research direction strayed from the main focus? Are you no longer concentrating your main efforts on the Langlands program?"

Robert Langlands was quite nervous when John Milnor asked that question.

If Wang Duoyu doesn't focus his main efforts on the Langlands program, then accelerating the development of this grand unified theory in mathematics will undoubtedly be even more difficult.

Who made Wang Duoyu the most important driving force behind this program?

Fermat's Last Theorem, the geometric Langlands conjecture, the reciprocity law conjecture, the fundamental lemma, and other very important theoretical proofs have powerfully promoted the Langlands program.

When Wang Duoyu presented his paper proving the Kolas conjecture, everyone was busy reviewing the paper and didn't ask him about his current research direction.

Now we have no choice but to ask clearly.

This is quite important.

"I haven't gone astray. I just wanted to clear my head. Don't worry, I definitely won't fall behind!"

Wang Duoyu shook his head.

Robert Langlands and the others breathed a sigh of relief, and Shing-Tung Yau immediately asked Wang Duoyu what direction he was heading.

However, Wang Duoyu did not answer the question this time, but changed the subject instead.

After he produced the proof of the Collatz conjecture, he only had two proof papers left: the Banach hyperplane problem and the partial differential equations of infinite dimensions.

Therefore, Wang Duoyu needs to seize the time to do other research in the future.

The functor conjecture is very difficult. One important special case is the Langlands correspondence. Wang Duoyu has previously proven the reciprocity law conjecture, which is actually the establishment of the Langlands correspondence.

In addition to these, problems arising from functor properties include the Artin conjecture, the Ramanujan conjecture, and the Sato Tet conjecture.

Wang Duoyu needs to solve them one by one, but he hasn't touched on that aspect yet; he's still in the foundational stage.

Actually, he had a clue, because it wasn't the first day he had been studying this functor conjecture. Moreover, he often communicated with John Milnor and others. It's just that he didn't have many ideas before and hadn't been able to crack it.

So for the next six months or so, he will definitely give it his all.

John Milnor should probably be trembling with fear, since he's about to really make his move.

September is the start of the school year, and Wang Duoyu promised Qiu Chengtong and the others that he would hold a monthly math sharing session on September 3rd.

This time it's ahead of schedule.

Or to be more precise, there hasn't been a monthly math sharing session this summer; it's been at least three months since then.

As before, all students who can register for this sharing session must pass an exam.

Andrew Wiles, Jean-Baptiste, Bocherz, and others signed up; they could attend classes directly without taking an exam.

They're just more anxious now.
