July 3, 1991, Harbin, Harbin Institute of Technology.

"Dad, eat some vegetables, this is delicious, you should eat more."

"Wang Qianqian, have you done something wrong? Or do you need something from me?"

"Dad, you're so smart!"

Wang Yifei's expressions are exaggerated; she lacks acting skills, it's all genuine emotion.

This made Wang Duoyu and Liu Xiaoli burst into laughter.

"Speak quickly, what do you want?"

"Dad, I want to go to Jiuzhaigou to have fun, is that okay?"

It's July now, and Harbin Institute of Technology is almost over its final exam season. Summer vacation is just around the corner.

So it's perfectly understandable that the little kid wants to go out and play right now.

However, going to Jiuzhaigou is quite far.

But to be honest, Wang Duoyu hadn't been to Jiuzhaigou for a year or two.

"I'll think about it some more and talk about it later."

Wang Duoyu shook his head, not agreeing immediately. The little guy immediately pouted, looking very unhappy.

Wang Duoyu didn't tolerate her behavior.

Although he dotes on Wang Yifei, it doesn't mean he has to go along with the little one in everything.

At that moment, the television news broadcast was reporting on an event: the Shenzhen Stock Exchange had officially opened.

Upon seeing this news, Wang Duoyu was filled with emotion.

The domestic economy will enter a period of rapid growth, but it remains to be seen whether China's accession to the WTO will happen faster than in the original timeline.

Wang Duoyu didn't get involved in this matter, nor did he care to.

Given the current economic development of Want Want Group and so many companies under Harbin Institute of Technology, there are still a large number of foreign companies investing and building factories in China.

Whether or not to join the WTO is not of great importance.

Besides, this is not something Wang Duoyu can interfere with.

Of course, Zheng Baoyin and his team in the United States could give it a little push behind the scenes.

Perhaps George Herbert will listen to a proposal or suggestion from one of the members of parliament?
George Herbert is currently busy keeping an eye on things in Moscow.

They probably don't have the mind to pay attention to other places, after all, they've been fighting for more than half a century.

When the moment of reaping the rewards of victory is approaching, one must naturally be extremely cautious.

You should know that this was at the end of last month, which was a week ago.

In Yugoslavia, civil war broke out.

There have been quite a few wars this year.

The smoke of the Gulf War had barely cleared.

The Sierra Leonean Civil War broke out, and then the Yugoslav Civil War broke out.

In addition, many other places abroad are busy with major wars and are engaged in fierce battles.

However, none of this has much to do with Wang Duoyu.

In some ways, the fact that so many wars and struggles broke out actually enriched the Want Want Group.

During the conference call a few days ago, Wang Duoyu learned about Martinez, a talented individual who had actually established a cooperative relationship with Gusinsky, the oligarch and president of Moscow Bridge Bank.

The other party prints the banknotes, while Martinez is in charge of sales.

It's very simple to know how to spend these dollars, and there are many ways to do so.

pat!

Just as Wang Duoyu was staring at the TV, spitting out a jealous joke, it suddenly started raining outside.

It was just a light rain, so the family didn't pay much attention to it.

That very night, a strong wind blew up, and the howling wind outside was terrifying to hear.

"Dad, I'm scared, I can't sleep."

At 10:30 p.m., Wang Yifei, carrying her own blanket, ran to her parents' room and asked to sleep together.

Following behind her was her third brother, Wang Junkang.

In fact, the four siblings, along with Li Rongrong and her friends, each had their own room at home.

By the time they were three years old, they were already sleeping separately.

But sometimes, like now, the strong wind outside is a bit scary, and all the trees on the island in the middle of the lake are swaying in the wind.

So it's understandable that little kids can't sleep and are scared.

"Come up quickly."

Liu Xiaoli quickly called out, and just then, a bright light flashed outside the window and disappeared in an instant.

That's lightning!

"Quickly cover your ears."

Wang Duoyu quickly picked up the third child, covering the little guy's ears while reminding Wang Yifei and Liu Xiaoli.

Just as the little ones covered their ears, thunder roared outside.

"It looks like this is a huge rainstorm; our Harbin might face flooding."

Hearing Wang Duoyu's worried words, Liu Xiaoli shook her head and said:
"It's probably just a rain shower, don't worry too much. How could there be flooding in our Ice City?"

The next morning, it was still raining outside, and the water level on the island in the middle of the lake had risen by nearly half a meter.

This is heavy rain.

Last night, Wang Duoyu had already called Kang Yumin and asked him to keep an eye on this matter.

Make sure to make the necessary arrangements.

After a night of heavy rain, the water level of the artificial lake at Harbin Institute of Technology has risen so much that it seems some low-lying areas outside may have already been flooded.

The island in the middle of the lake is located at a relatively high elevation, and Weizigou is also slightly higher than other places.

The water entering this large lake is drawn from the upper reaches of the Songhua River, raised two meters above the water level, through a small canal.

Therefore, there is no need to worry too much about the Weizigou campus being flooded.

On the contrary, other areas downstream may be flooded.

Kang Yumin, Zhao Guobin, Lin Runzhe and the others have been busy since the early hours of the morning.

Because of the heavy rain last night, which came down like thunder, many places downstream were submerged in water in a very short time.

Given the critical water situation, how could Kang Yumin and his team dare to delay?
Many reservoirs upstream have been fully activated, as have all reservoirs and lakes downstream.

The large lake at Harbin Institute of Technology was also forced to store water to help absorb some of the waste.

Of course, the same is true in Shuanghe County.

"Xiaoli, did you see that? The flood is coming."

Wang Duoyu pointed to the large lake not far away and said worriedly:

"Secretary Kang and his team just called me, saying that many reservoirs downstream have started storing water. Even so, there are still many places along the Songhua River near the border that are flooded."

The Songhua River Plain is flat and level.

Throughout the Heilongjiang region, along many tributaries of the Songhua River, water levels have surged dramatically.

Under such circumstances, the downstream areas of Fuyuan naturally had to bear the brunt of the flood.

"According to the weather forecast, rainfall will continue for the next few days. If the drainage system is not functioning properly, the flooded areas will continue to expand."

Upon hearing this, Liu Xiaoli remained silent for a long time.

She didn't know much to begin with, and now she was even more speechless.

However, Heilongjiang is located in a high-latitude region north of the Earth, and floods are a relatively unfamiliar term to it.

I really didn't expect such a flash flood to occur here.

But now that it has fully erupted, what can be done?
Wang Duoyu didn't say anything more to Liu Xiaoli. After breakfast, he called Xue Lisheng and also notified Wen Shixuan, Yu Kexue, and others.

Although Want Want Group is a private enterprise, it is also a responsible company.

Harbin is also the headquarters of the Want Want Group. At this time, it is necessary to make preparations in advance to ensure that the lives and property of the company's employees are not seriously damaged, and to carry out disaster relief and other related work.

Previously, in May and June, when floods occurred in the south, Want Want Group also donated money and supplies.

When one is in trouble, help comes from all sides. This is a tradition, and it is also a way for businesses to contribute their modest efforts.

After making those arrangements, Wang Duoyu stopped paying attention to the matter.

He has his own job and can't keep an eye on this all the time.

However, Wang Yifei and her friends, these little brats, actually braved the rain to play by the lake.

Enraged, Liu Xiaoli grabbed a bamboo whip and gave them a few hard lashes on the buttocks.

The children immediately burst into tears, and for a moment the entire villa was filled with wailing.

However, despite the heavy rain outside, Wang Duoyu inside the villa's study did not hear any of these noises.

He was so engrossed in his own world that he couldn't pull himself out.

The theory of anti-gravity technology has been finalized, and now the work is to advance the anti-gravity engine.

Sigh, it's really too difficult for him to handle all this work all by himself.

Pretoria, South Africa, on the African continent.

A convoy of fifty cars appeared on a road in the suburbs of Pretoria.

It was early morning, just before dawn.

"General Provo, we've brought the money. Where are the goods I requested?"

This was Martinez's first time in South Africa, so he was well-prepared and brought a large group of people to complete today's transactions.

Because today's transaction involves a very large amount of money, there is no room for error.

Furthermore, this time it's also the entry of super-large US dollars into the market, which is extremely crucial.

"Hehe, the goods are ready."

Provo sat down opposite Martinez and said with a smile:

“In South Africa, who doesn’t know that I, Provo, am a man of integrity? I suppose you chose me because of my good reputation?”

This is true!

There are virtually no places in southern Africa, or even the entire African region, that have consistently maintained peace and stability without any unrest.

North Africa, particularly Somalia, has been in a state of constant turmoil.

The Sierra Leone civil war, as well as several other places, were also experiencing conflict.

It's all about money or power.

In South Africa, the conflict has been ongoing due to the presence of minerals such as the Rand Central Gold Mine.

Therefore, those who can survive here are no pushovers.

Provo was indeed an oddball.

This person is not a native of South Africa, but a descendant of British gentlemen.

His brother, Debagan, owns a stake in the Central Rand gold mine.

At the same time, the two brothers also run several companies and several small gold mines.

Therefore, the Provo and Debagan brothers are powerful figures in South Africa, possessing both wealth and authority.

Of course, money and power have never been separate since ancient times; they have always been twins.

For example, the four major families of the Republic of China in history.

Hehe, in that era of war, the Kong family and several other prominent families.

And those executives, they're all busy embezzling.

After all, if you don't take it, how will others?
Therefore, they have no choice but to go along with the corrupt practices.

Provo's great reputation also stems from the fact that he was a man of his word.

Many people who have done business with him give him a thumbs up and praise him highly.

Martinez smiled slightly and said:
"Yes, I admit that I did value your trustworthiness. However, money can be a powerful motivator. Whether others will keep their word is another matter."

"Let's begin the transaction."

As Martinez waved, people behind him began to bring out boxes of money.

This sum of money is substantial, amounting to over three hundred million US dollars.

However, it's not all super dollars; some real dollars are mixed in.

Martinez believed Provo wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

Even the Federal Reserve's money counting machines can't tell the difference.

A high-end gravure printing press worth fifteen million dollars, and dollar-specific paper made entirely with paper technology from the Federal Reserve.

And color-changing inks, etc.

It can be said that the super dollar printed in the factory on the outskirts of Moscow was, in any sense, a real banknote.

However, it lacks genuine official recognition.

But what does it matter?

The US dollar circulates worldwide. As long as super dollars are completely indistinguishable from regular dollars, no matter how many super dollars are created, the outside world will still be unable to tell the difference.

Martinez took out three million dollars in real cash and mixed it with these super dollars just to be on the safe side.

Therefore, they are real banknotes.

On the other side, almost as soon as Martinez's subordinates were in action, Provo's subordinates also began their operation.

What they brought out was gleaming gold.

Each gold bar is purified to a very high level, the kind that can be traded directly.

Southern Africa has no shortage of gold; in fact, it has a great deal of it.

The Rand Central Gold Mine alone can produce more than 800 tons of gold annually, while other smaller gold mines can produce around 100 tons of gold each year.

Provo and his brother Debagan already controlled many gold mines and also held a certain share in the Rand Central Gold Mine, so they had no shortage of gold.

"Each of these gold bars weighs twenty kilograms and is 99.9% pure."

Pointing with his finger, Provo proudly introduced Martinez:

"I own the world's best gold refining plant, equipped with state-of-the-art equipment."

"You can inspect them freely; every single gold bar has this level of purity."

"Based on the current international gold market price, I'll take a loss, $362 per ounce, how about that?"

There's a saying: "Gold is valued in times of chaos, antiques are valued in times of prosperity."

Since the Gulf War ended in April of this year, crude oil prices have fallen, and gold prices have also fallen accordingly.

Before April, gold was $373 per ounce.

But now it's $364 an ounce.

Provo's claim of taking a "slight loss" only refers to a price reduction of two dollars.

In reality, the price of gold in South Africa is already lower than the international market price.

Many downstream gold buyers come to South Africa to purchase gold at prices much lower than the market price.

As a result, Provo actually tried to take advantage of the situation; what a bastard.

Martinez shook his head, directly exposing the other party's trick, and indicated that the deal would be made at $360 per ounce.

Upon hearing this, Provo didn't take it too seriously and agreed after a moment's thought.

Compared to gold, Provo prefers to hold more US dollar cash.

The deal was quickly finalized.

It wasn't until Martinez left South Africa by ship that the deal was confirmed to have ended so smoothly.

That's over three hundred million US dollars, and it's all been spent.

Wow, this is incredibly fast at making money!

Gold cannot be faked; it has all been tested and is genuine gold that meets purity standards.

In this way, gold worth more than $300 million was brought back to companies such as The Lord of the Rings Bank in London and New Brown Bank in North America.

With gold prices currently low, it's a good time to buy some gold at the bottom.

With so much gold, you could actually get a loan from a bank.

For banks like New Brown Bank, they could also disclose their gold reserves to attract more depositors.

After depositing the gold into the Lord of the Rings Bank in London, Martinez used some of the funds to purchase food and other supplies, which were then transported to Moscow.

In total, he earned at least two hundred million US dollars.

Meanwhile, in southern Africa, Provo arranged for people to store all the US dollars in his own warehouse.

Because the warehouse is heavily guarded, there is absolutely no need to worry about it being stolen or robbed.

Provo had several thousand men under his command, each armed with a gun.

With this funding, Provo immediately contacted arms dealers, wanting to purchase heavy firepower.

After several twists and turns, Provo's people contacted Joe Thomson, one of Facebook's representatives in Africa.

In South Africa, Facebook has several executives who are specifically responsible for selling arms.

They are now purchasing large quantities of military equipment from Moscow, especially conventional heavy weapons such as missiles, armored vehicles, and tanks.

Maple Leaf Holdings would never keep these equipment on its hands; it would sell them off immediately and would not keep them for more than three months.

"The only way to trade is with gold?" Provo asked in surprise after his subordinate reported.

What the hell?

In the last month or two, several arms dealers have been demanding payment in gold instead of US dollars.

After all, isn't transferring money in US dollars more convenient?

If you carry gold around and get caught, wouldn't that be even worse?

However, Provo had no idea what the specifics were.

Why did they have to contact representatives from the Want Want Group?
These people have all been notified that all arms transactions will be settled in gold.

The US dollar is untrustworthy because it is bound to contain a large amount of counterfeit money.

After all, Want Want Group is the biggest promoter of counterfeit money.

Although only a little over 300 million US dollars have been allocated so far, it has been used in many places such as South America, North Africa, and the Middle East.

And in parts of Oceania, the super dollar is also used to exchange for gold.

To distinguish between a genuine dollar and a super dollar, the Federal Reserve would need to issue currency using the latest technology; otherwise, it would be very difficult.

However, the global base money supply in US dollars has now exceeded one trillion US dollars.

If the Federal Reserve wants to replace these base currencies, it will undoubtedly be a massive undertaking.

I wouldn't say it's as difficult as climbing to heaven, but it's definitely not that simple.

"Yes!"

Seeing the seriousness in his subordinate's expression, Provo stopped him from looking for other suppliers.

Instead, after thinking it over, he called his older brother, Debagan.

The latter, upon hearing this, didn't pay much attention, but instead explained:
"I guess with the recent conflicts in Africa and many other parts of the world, arms dealers are probably looking to stockpile gold. Anyway, let's not worry about it too much. The fact that they're going through all this trouble is actually an opportunity for us."

After hearing what his older brother said, Provo quickly understood.

So he turned around and called several other shareholders of the Rand Central Gold Mine, wanting to discuss business.

what business?
Naturally, they acquire gold from these shareholders.

In less than two weeks, all the super dollars in Provo's warehouse were spent and turned into gold bars.

Then they contacted Joe Thomson and spent tens of millions of dollars worth of gold to purchase a batch of missile armored vehicles.

Having armed himself, Provo suddenly became ambitious.

However, after finding out that the other shareholders of the Rand Central Gold Mine had also purchased a lot of equipment, he gave up the idea.

We're all in South Africa, so we see each other all the time.

Their strengths are not significantly different.

So there's no need to break ties; let's just maintain a facade of peace.

After that, Provo became a middleman, contacting Martinez to exchange gold for more dollars.

The gold he bought from the shareholders of the Rand Central Gold Mine cost only $359 per ounce, which wasn't very expensive.

If he sells it to Martinez for $360 per ounce, he can make a dollar per ounce.

More than 300 million US dollars worth of gold, which is 800,000 to 900,000 ounces.

In other words, if each transaction involved nearly a million ounces of gold, Provo could earn an extra million dollars.

This business is doing quite well.

However, the person he called Martinez was someone else entirely.

Hornzoi had previously accompanied Martinez to South Africa to conduct a deal with Provo, so the latter naturally knew him.

Therefore, there is naturally no problem with this transaction.

After hanging up the phone, Hornzoi immediately contacted Martinez.

"What? That South African warlord contacted you so quickly?"

In just over half a month, Provo contacted Hornzoi so quickly, requesting to trade gold.

Isn't this a business opportunity delivered right to our doorstep?
The super dollar factory on the outskirts of Moscow can print tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of dollars every day.

The speed at which this money comes in is incredible!

In any case, Martinez was very happy.

New York, Want Want Group headquarters.

During a bi-weekly internet conference call, Wang Jianchao's eyes widened in astonishment when he learned that the Super Dollar Factory had earned over $700 million in less than a month.

"Wow, this money's coming in so fast! Martinez, are you sure all those super dollars have turned into gold?"

Zheng Baoyin couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, and then asked further questions.

"Yes, Lao Zheng, I confirm. New Brown Bank, Lord of the Rings Bank of London, and several other banks have reported the relevant information."

Upon hearing Martinez's words, everyone applauded.

Allen Costa couldn't help but say:
"Hey, it seems the most profitable company this year isn't our Raptor Fund, but your super dollar factory!"

Even though the factory is in Moscow, haven't all the risks been transferred to Moscow?

Furthermore, the profits are split 60/40 between Want Want Group and Gusinski, with Want Want Group taking 60% and Gusinski taking 40%.

Of course, if we also consider that 40% will be converted into various grains and other supplies, then Want Want Group actually earns 70% of it.

After all, the distribution channels are controlled by the Want Want Group.

Gusinsky did not leave Moscow, nor did he have access to the corresponding channels, so taking 40% was appropriate.

With a 70% return, they earned over 700 million US dollars in less than half a month.

If we extend the timeframe further, we can expand the production line.

So even if the super dollar business only started in July, it's entirely possible to earn more over five months.

Human nature is greedy, after all.

As time goes on, whether it's Gusinski or Provo, those on their chain of interests will benefit and naturally pursue even greater gains.

Super dollars are produced at the Moscow Super Dollar Factory and then shipped to places like South Africa, the Middle East, and South America to buy oil, food, or gold.

The Middle East has abundant oil, South Africa has abundant gold, and South America has abundant food.

Grain purchased from South America can be shipped directly to Moscow, from where more US dollars and oil can be taken away, or equipment such as missiles, armored vehicles, and even industrial equipment such as machine tools.

The oil is purchased and then transported directly back to places like Guangzhou, Chengdu, Harbin, Shanghai, and Beijing, or stored locally in places like London, New York, Detroit, and Los Angeles.

why?
In places like London, once war breaks out and oil prices soar, the oil stored there can be quickly sold at a high price, making a profit from the price difference.

Although this price difference is unlikely to be much profit in the next few years.

After all, before 1997, international crude oil prices fluctuated between $18 and $25.

If the price difference doesn't fluctuate much, then the profit margin is also small.

Even so, it's still possible to earn a little money through hard work.

Moreover, the price difference isn't significant, so it's perfectly feasible to ship in large quantities.

Therefore, from all perspectives, the Super Dollar Factory is still more profitable.

Furthermore, it can completely connect all nodes.

The Raptor Fund had high profits in the first few months of this year, but in the last month or two, the profits have not been as high.

The reason is simple: the market is less volatile, so the profit margin for manipulation is also smaller.

Therefore, it is highly unlikely that the Raptor Fund will make a high profit this year.

Therefore, Allen Costa's statement is not without merit.

Upon hearing this, Zheng Baoyin picked up the conversation and said:
"Everyone has been working hard. The first half of the year is over, and more than a month of the second half has already passed. We don't have much time left."

"As long as everyone works diligently and makes no mistakes, there will definitely be plenty of bonuses at the end of the year."

Everyone applauded in agreement.

Martinez has already received his reward, after all, he is in charge of this Super Dollar Factory, and he can get a certain share of the commission every time a portion of the Super Dollar is spent.

For example, he earned more than ten million US dollars from this deal worth more than seven hundred million US dollars.

It's unimaginable that once the profits of the super dollar factory exceed seven billion dollars, or even more, his personal commission will definitely exceed one hundred million, or even two or three hundred million dollars.

It's such a lucrative business!

Harbin Institute of Technology, Weizigou Campus, on the island in the middle of the lake.

"Dad, I'm all packed. Can we go now?"

At this moment, Wang Yifei, carrying a pink backpack and with a pink suitcase beside her, stood in the living room and asked her father in her parents' room.

"No rush, I'm not done yet."

Wang Duoyu smiled and replied, then slowly began packing his luggage.

The last time the little guy said he wanted to go to Jiuzhaigou, Wang Duoyu didn't agree at the time, but after a few days, after the final exams at Harbin Institute of Technology were over, he finally agreed.

In fact, Wang Duoyu only told the little guy after he had clearly explained to Rong Guangxia, Li Jun, and Li Jianshu the direction they needed to complete in the next few months, as well as the work to be done in several project teams such as the magnetic plasma engine project and the Mach 5 fighter jet project.

After all, he's not completely unemployed; he can't just leave whenever he wants.

Leaving for a short period of time is not a big deal.

This time, however, Wang Duoyu wanted to stay away from home for a while. In addition to Jiuzhaigou, he also wanted to go to the Ali camp.

Finally, it's because it's been raining a lot in Harbin lately, making it difficult to leave.

According to the weather forecast, there will be no rain today, and there is even a high chance of sunshine.

That's why Wang Duoyu set today as his departure date.

"Oh, Dad, hurry up!"

Upon seeing this, Wang Yifei immediately said anxiously.

Then she ran in to help her father tidy up, muttering to herself, which made Wang Duoyu very happy.

After dawdling over packing their luggage, the family was finally able to set off.

"Yay, we can finally go! That's great!"

As soon as they got on the bus, the karaoke mode started, and Li Rongrong, Lu Yuening, Wang Yifei and the others all turned into karaoke enthusiasts.

Forget about whether the pronunciation is clear, whether the melody is right, or whether you beat the beat early; the point is that it's definitely going to be fun.

Even the adults, Wang Duoyu and Liu Xiaoli, felt much better.

The large passenger plane took off from Yanjiagang Airport and headed straight for Chengdu Shuangliu Airport.

After arriving in Chengdu, we rested for two days, ate several spicy hot pot meals, and then moved on to Jiuzhaigou.

Before the car even reached Jiuzhaigou, Liu Xiaoli gave some instructions:

"No swimming in the water this time when we go to Jiuzhaigou, understand?"

The little ones all nodded repeatedly.

But Wang Duoyu guessed that they would most likely forget the pain once the wound had healed.

The fun of playing in the water is definitely better than the pain of being hit.

Once they get there, they'll definitely continue playing in the water, Wang Duoyu was certain.

The water in Jiuzhaigou is exceptionally clear.

The scenery is beautiful, like a fairyland.

Although it wasn't Wang Duoyu's first time here, they were still pleasantly surprised and deeply impressed.

After spending a few days in Jiuzhaigou, Wang Duoyu planned to head to the ALD area.

The little ones also want to go, it all depends on Liu Xiaoli's decision.

She naturally did not refuse, so the family set off for the ALD district.

By the time they arrived in the ALD district, it was already mid-to-late July.

The main theme of summer is blue skies and white clouds.

Especially in the ALD area, blue skies, white clouds, and golden sunrises over the mountains are commonplace.

After arriving at Ali's camp, Wang Duoyu briefly inspected the progress of the telescope project before locking himself in his room.

His recent work has absolutely no basic theoretical mathematical research topics; it is solely about anti-gravity engine technology.

In fact, the theoretical work on anti-gravity technology has been completed, and the subsequent anti-gravity engine cannot be developed by him alone.

However, his time is currently fragmented, so he hasn't thought about using it for anything else.

On the other hand, he is still waiting for a response from the global mathematics community.

The three papers on Hodge's conjecture were published in late May.

Almost two months have passed now, and the global mathematics community remains quiet. It seems that his three proof papers have silenced everyone.

In fact, this is indeed the case.

Who can blame him for earning the title of "Emperor of Mathematics" without merit?
That was Hodge's conjecture, and he proved it just like that. That's incredibly impressive.

Princeton University, USA.

"Graham, how's it going? Did you find any flaws?"

"Van Lawrence asked."

Grahamburns, sitting opposite him, shook his head and said:
"Professor Van En, I have only read this one paper and found no flaws at all. I haven't read the second and third papers, so I don't know the specifics yet."

Upon hearing this, Van Laurence fell silent.

He contacted Michael Friedman at the Institute for Advanced Study in Harbin, who told him that Shing-Tung Yau, William Thurston, Arancone, and others had spent three months going through three groups of reviewers in rotation before their papers were approved.

Yau Shing-Tung and others like him are among the world's top mathematicians, ranking in the first tier.

Michael Friedman was also an intern at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, but unfortunately he later went to Harbin.

Ice City is a global center for mathematics, attracting many professors and researchers from Princeton University. This is because figures like William Thurston, Edward Witten, and Andrew Wiles all received Fields Medals because they worked in Ice City.

Not to mention that Wang Duoyu's two students, Yorkz and Bocherz, both won the Fields Medal.

For other mathematics researchers, Ice City held an even more irresistible attraction.

However, to be honest, the rise of Harbin was indeed built on the foundation of Moscow State University and Princeton University.

Why did most of the talented researchers and PhDs go to Harbin?
Graham Burns is a digital seed hidden by Princeton University.

In the past, there would have been no need for Graham Burns to nitpick, because Princeton University had many such luminaries and senior figures to do the work.

Unfortunately, Princeton University today is far less prestigious than it was more than a decade ago.

During Wang Duoyu's heyday, both Princeton University and Moscow State University were severely suppressed.

In this world, life is nothing more than fame and fortune.

The choices made by people like Shing-Tung Yau prove this point.

There are three papers proving the Hodge conjecture, and Graham spent more than a month on just the first one.

This also shows the gap between Graham and people like Shing-Tung Yau.

There is a significant gap between top-tier mathematicians worldwide and ordinary second-tier top mathematicians.

Wang Duoyu proposed a three-year period for Rong Guangxia, Li Jun, and Li Jianshu to complete the study of the three proof papers for the Hodge conjecture and the five proof papers for the Riemann hypothesis, and to thoroughly understand and master these eight papers.

The three of them are actually similar to Graham; they are all at the same level.

But it will take three years because the requirements are different.

One is to read and understand; the other is to thoroughly understand.

Ugh!
"Let's take it slow then."

After a moment of silence, Van Lawrence said this.

Graham nodded, then went back to his work.

Universities in many cities around the world, such as the University of Tokyo, the University of Oxford, and the University of Hong Kong, are experiencing the same thing as Princeton University.

They were unable to understand the three papers on the Hodge conjecture in a short period of time.

This is why the mathematics community was noisy for a while in late May and early June, and then fell into an eerie calm.

"No vulnerabilities found, flawless!"

"At Cambridge University, Karen Mack, a doctoral student hailed as the most talented in Great Britain, murmured to herself."

He has been accepted into Andrew Wiles' doctoral program and will soon be going to Harbin to study.

However, because of the three papers Wang Duoyu published, Cambridge University hoped that he could help 'review' them before going to Harbin.

Ideally, we should find flaws to disprove these three papers.

To be precise, the Hodge conjecture was originally a problem posed by the British mathematician William Hodge.

No one was more eager to prove this question than the British.

However, it was Wang Duoyu who proved it, which infuriated mathematics professors at Cambridge University, Oxford University, and other institutions.

This honor should rightfully belong to Great Britain.

Unfortunately, it has now been stolen by Wang Duoyu.

It must be disproven!!!
"What? Flawless? Karen, are you sure?"

A professor from Cambridge University quickly followed up with another question.

Karen Mike remained silent for a long time before slowly saying:
"Yes, I have read the first paper, but I haven't found any flaws at all. Judging from the current situation, he has most likely proven the Hodge conjecture."
