Warhammer: The Time Traveler

Chapter 310 Mathematics is the Universal Language (Fourth Update)
The venue for the technical exchange was officially set at a top federal university in San Francisco.

A spacious and brightly lit tiered conference room was set up as a temporary communication center, with a huge holographic projection device in front of the circular seating area.

The federal representatives were several scientists renowned in their respective fields. Although not academic giants, they were all well-known scholars with solid foundations and active minds.

Covering multiple key fields such as theoretical physics, materials science, energy dynamics, computer science, and bioengineering, the lineup was clearly carefully considered, aiming to conduct a comprehensive evaluation and interaction with the otherworldly knowledge brought by Chen Yu.

Chen Yu's massive, dark red body was placed on a specially made, sturdy platform on one side of the conference room, where he sat opposite the federal scientists.

His crimson optical lens calmly swept across each scholar present, quickly analyzing their micro-expressions, postures, and interaction patterns, assessing their professional competence and thinking habits.

At the start of the exchange, both sides tacitly focused their first topic on mathematics.

The meeting was chaired by a highly respected theoretical physicist who began with a smile: "Sir, mathematics is the universal language of the universe, the cornerstone for describing all natural laws and technological principles."

We believe that starting with mathematics will be the best way for us to understand each other's academic foundations and ways of thinking.

Chen Yu's mechanical head nodded slightly, and the synthesized voice responded smoothly: "Agreed. Logic and mathematics are the only reliable framework for constructing reality and knowledge."

The exchange quickly moved into a substantive phase.

Federal scientists first demonstrated some of their cutting-edge mathematical tools, which are widely used in advanced physics and engineering, including high-order tensor analysis for describing complex spacetime curvature, operator-specific theory for simulating quantum state superposition and entanglement, and nonlinear dynamic models for optimizing warp field calculations.

Their presentation was clear and rigorous, fully demonstrating the Federation's profound expertise in applied mathematics.

Chen Yu listened quietly, the optical lens following the rapidly changing formulas and models on the holographic projection.

When the federal scientists finished their presentation and awaited his response, he did not directly comment on their work. Instead, he manipulated one of his dexterous mechanical tentacles to connect to the conference room's projection system.

In an instant, a mathematical system with a completely different structure and a more ancient and complex symbol system, yet containing a certain cold beauty, was presented to everyone.

“This is a simplified form of the partial differential equations used to describe the interference between subspace perturbations and the structure of reality,” Chen Yu began to explain in a calm, synthesized voice. “It introduces imaginary dimension variables that might be considered ‘meaningless’ or ‘divergent’ in your mathematical system, in order to quantify the ‘pressure’ and ‘wrinkles’ that subspace energy causes to the real universe.”

The mathematical tools he demonstrated are centered on mathematical models that handle discontinuities, high-dimensional interference, and weakened causality, which stands in stark contrast to the federal mathematical system based on smooth spacetime and strict causality.

Some of the methods used to handle the concept of infinity, and the practice of introducing "observer's will" as a variable into the equations, caused the federal mathematicians present to frown and fall into deep thought.

"This...this violates the fundamental premise of the Cauchy-Riemann equations!" a young mathematician couldn't help but exclaim.

“It’s not a contradiction,” Chen Yu calmly corrected, “it’s a difference in scope of application. Your mathematics is based on a relatively ‘stable’ and ‘continuous’ model of the universe. But some of my mathematical tools are designed to describe a dimensional space that is essentially ‘fluid’, ‘chaotic’, and interacts with consciousness.”

He then demonstrated another mathematical tool for calculating the distribution and decay models of matter and energy in multiple dimensions under extreme conditions.

Its computational complexity is extremely high, but its structure is ingenious, demonstrating its powerful ability to handle extreme physical phenomena.

A brief silence fell over the venue, broken only by the faint sounds of the strange formulas flowing in the holographic projection.

The relaxed expressions on the faces of the federal scientists vanished, replaced by solemnity and extreme focus.

The mathematics that Chen Yu demonstrated was not inferior to that of the Federation, but rather it took a completely different path—a path developed in order to understand and manage a more dangerous and chaotic universe, a path full of pragmatism and even a touch of "violence".

The elderly physicist who chaired the meeting took a deep breath, pushed up his glasses, and his eyes were filled with unprecedented excitement and a desire for challenge: "A...shocking system."

Sir, could you please explain in detail the physical meaning of introducing the 'observation anchor point' variable?

This seems to touch the boundaries of our understanding of the foundations of quantum mechanics…

The exchange in the field of mathematics successfully revealed a corner of the iceberg of technology between the two civilizations.

Federal scientists have witnessed a powerful and enigmatic mathematical world built upon different understandings of the universe; and Chen Yu, through the rigor and elegance of Federal mathematics, has demonstrated the solid foundation upon which its technological system is built.

This silent contest and mutual verification laid a foundation of tension yet mutual respect for more concrete technological exchanges to follow. Both sides realized that the other held the key to another "truth."
-
The exchange in the field of mathematics lasted for several days.

This cross-dimensional intellectual exchange progressed more smoothly and efficiently than either party initially expected.

Ultimately, the two civilizations can be said to share the same roots in a sense—both originated from the sparks of wisdom from ancient Earth civilizations, but took completely different directions at a decisive historical crossroads.

One alliance embraced a path of reason, exploration, and relative peace, while the other sank into an abyss of dependence on the warp, perpetual war, and a religious worship of technology.

This shared underlying logic enabled Chen Yu to quickly understand and analyze the complex mathematical theories developed based on relativity and quantum mechanics put forward by federal scholars, whether it was the complexity metric describing warp bubbles or the specific algorithm for quantum entanglement, thanks to his powerful data processing capabilities.

Conversely, after the initial shock and adjustment, the federal scholars, with their profound academic foundation and open-mindedness, were able to gradually understand Chen Yu's set of mathematical tools, which were developed to deal with subspace chaos, reality distortion, and extreme energy environments and which focused more on practicality and forced convergence, thanks to Chen Yu's in-depth yet easy-to-understand (by his standards) explanations.

The two sides seemed to be exploring the mysteries of the same universe in two different "dialects." Although their accents were different, their core grammatical logic was the same.
