A genius student? Ha, they're nothing but ants at your feet!

Faced with this highly inflammatory historical re-examination.

The conservative professor who was the first to object hesitated for a moment, but still silently raised his hand.

"Dean, the situation is different. At that time, topological quantum field theory was just emerging and taking shape, and everyone was feeling their way forward."

Given that context, even if it meant taking a risk, we stepped forward to set the tone.

They also have the noble title of "leading academic trends" in their hands, so they can't afford to lose too badly.

He continued, his tone complex.

"But the Smail average is a long-standing problem that has been accumulating for half a century and has become a fossil!"

Aside from its good reputation, it does not immediately produce any practical benefits.

I don't think it's necessary to rush into taking on this matter, risking the entire academy's reputation, just for a relic of an old era.

That's absolutely right; every word comes from the bottom of my heart.

Without a doubt, this was an extremely calm and rational judgment based on considerations of the school's interests.

The other professors nodded in agreement.

However, Whitman's expression remained completely unchanged.

"If we're talking about lofty ideals and justifications... well, compared to this paper, there are countless such things!"

"Dean, what do you mean by that?"

Whitman straightened his back and answered, word by word, with an almost prophetic and fanatical tone:

"Haven't you all realized it yet? Once this space reconstruction algorithm is fully deployed..."

A century later, history books will write about "where exactly was mathematics, which belongs to the new era, born!"

The answer is right here! On this snowy morning!

I want this irrefutable evidence that has made history!

Forever! Engraved in our MIT history museum!

Everyone's breath caught in their throats for a moment because of that arrogant remark!

"Yes, thinking about it carefully, that's true."

"It has to be admitted... Su Hao does indeed possess the potential to revolutionize the times."

"If he really does it... then this is what they call a paradigm shift that can turn the wheels of an entire century around!"

This moment was like a sudden awakening.

Who among those present wasn't a shrewd and calculating person?

Which one of them isn't a cunning old fox who has spent his whole life navigating the sea of ​​mathematics?

Having said all that, everyone had fully understood the grand ambition hidden in the dean's words.

"Su Hao's mathematical system possesses a special magic that none of us old guys have."

He was completely unfettered by any classical mathematical authority, and never imposed any cages or boundaries on anything.

Whitman picked up the conversation, her eyes burning with fervor.

"In the eyes of those conservatives who cling to the old ways, this wild and unrestrained imagination may seem out of place, or even heretical."

But! Everyone!

If a new era of mathematics truly exists for the next century!

I firmly believe it!

Once its outer shell is peeled away, it should take the sharp and dazzling form depicted by Su Hao!

The words fell.

The professors looked at each other in bewilderment.

Conflict, hesitation, fervor, greed...

A variety of complex expressions flashed across their wrinkled old faces like a revolving lantern.

But soon.

The purity of a scholar completely triumphs over so-called rigor and fear.

They all made up their minds like gamblers, nodding heavily.

One of them raised his hand and said loudly:

"If one day in the future, history books do record that mathematics entered an unprecedented new stage because of Su Hao's sudden emergence!"

And the starting point of this great journey took place right here in our building!

Then we old folks should step forward, pave the red carpet for it, and leave behind the most magnificent chapter in the history of human civilization! Isn't that right?!

"That's right! I agree!"

"Then send an official letter immediately! Push forward at lightning speed!"

We absolutely cannot allow Stanford or those European schools to beat us to the punch and host this historic lecture on their turf!

An agreement was finally reached.

Whitman nodded in satisfaction.

"Okay, it's settled then! We'll hold a public academic conference with the highest standards of the School of Mathematics."

There are no eligibility requirements for participants; anyone who wants to attend can listen in.

But one thing must be guaranteed.

Use all your connections and resources to ensure that I can invite those truly influential and renowned scholars in the field!

I will use their top-tier status to give our report unshakeable and absolute credibility!

Now that the direction has been decided, all tasks are being carried out in full swing.

The department office was immediately thrown into a flurry of activity.

Harvard, Princeton, Oxford, Heidelberg, Tokyo University, Zurich, and other research institutions and universities around the world received an invitation to the "MIT Open Academic Conference".

Information travels across submarine optical cables.

This news, comparable to a nuclear explosion in the academic world, spread rapidly and thoroughly throughout various scientific research circles in Xia Country at an incredible speed.

Professors from the top universities in Xia Kingdom shared the invitation in their academic WeChat groups.

Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap! Is this screenshot even real, Lao Zhang?!

I heard MIT is hosting its highest-level public academic conference, and the topic is actually that Smail problem that's been dormant for half a century?!

Hey Lao Li, your information is seriously outdated!

In the past two days, the entire international academic community has been in an uproar over this issue!

If you were to log onto arXiv right now and check out that viral preprint, your blood pressure would probably spike instantly!

What I'm really concerned about is... the speaker is actually that Su Hao who came from China?!

This is unbelievable!

Those old foxes at MIT actually had the guts to appoint an undergraduate student who hadn't even graduated as the main speaker?!

If only this speaker hadn't gone abroad, even if he had only come to our school for a year as a nominal exchange student, how wonderful that would have been.

In that case, based on this one achievement alone, our university could legitimately host such a globally renowned international academic event!

Sigh, there's nothing we can do about it.

China's foundation in basic mathematics is too weak, and research resources are relatively scarce.

Even if such a genius did stay in China, our country is too small and ambitious; we can't provide the comprehensive, top-level support they receive.

.......

at the same time.

Lin Shuwan stood alone on the Harvard campus, quietly staring at her lit-up phone screen, without saying a word.

Based on her outstanding academic performance, she successfully passed the selection process for the exchange program jointly established by the University of Science and Technology of China and Harvard University, becoming one of this year's exchange students.

Compared to the somewhat naive and academically gifted girl she was a year ago.

Now, having been immersed in the academic atmosphere of a top university, her temperament has undergone a complete transformation, gaining an added sense of intellect and aloofness.

"Look, it's the Eastern Goddess from the School of Mathematics."

Several students passing by tried their best to keep their voices down.

They elbowed each other wildly, exchanging knowing glances and whispering amongst themselves.

But at this moment, Lin Shuwan's brain automatically blocked out any external sounds.

Because that's what's displayed on her phone screen right now.

It's a high-resolution screenshot of an electronic invitation to an "MIT Open Academic Conference" shared by her advisor.

Lin Shuwan's gaze was fixed on a certain spot.

[Speaker: Su Hao]

[Affiliation: Department of Mathematics, Massachusetts Institute of Technology]

Her hands, gripping the phone tightly, were trembling slightly.
