"We came here mainly for two things..."
Xu Dajiang sighed heavily in his heart and said.
Although he opened his mouth to explain, seeing Qiao Ze's unmoved expression, he knew that some prejudices were deep-rooted.
He didn't bother to explain anymore.
There is a high probability that a genius does not understand or does not bother to understand the importance of administrative work, and he is too lazy to dwell on this point.
Now as long as Qiao Ze is willing to stay at Xilin University of Technology, it is a victory. With Daniel's affirmation, coupled with Doudou, who became famous on the Internet yesterday, and his understanding of photolithography technology, Qiao Ze is now an unexplored treasure.
As we all know, scientific research funding and education funding are always in short supply.
But if there is such a sign standing there, there is no need to say much, and resources will naturally be tilted towards the sign.
For universities, academicians are such a sign.
Xilin University of Technology also has such a signature, and there are more than one.
The significance of Qiao Ze is that not only has he become such a golden sign, he even has the ability to mass-produce signs.
What can I say? Half a year ago, someone told Xu Dajiang that someone could become a member of the Natural Fund Expert Review Team at the age of eighteen. Xu Dajiang would definitely spit in that person's face.
What are you daydreaming about?
However, Qiao Ze really did it!
…
"Hey, Qiao Ze, you've been hiding this from us. Last time, the project was completed very suddenly. This time, as soon as the project completed the application process, you already issued the thesis and finalized it, which I didn't even know about. What can I say? Hey..."
Xu Dajiang sighed heavily.
Qiao Ze looked at Xu Dajiang quietly without explaining.
He has a clear conscience about this matter.
He had never thought about applying for school projects, but he was basically pushed aside.
"...Although this is a good thing, you must also know about Princeton's open invitation, so I am here today to represent the school and listen to your thoughts."
Xu Dajiang said vaguely while looking at Qiao Ze.
He knew that Qiao Ze could understand what he said.
In fact, he also knew how to best communicate with Qiao Ze, but the communication method that Qiao Ze liked was too direct, and Xu Dajiang really didn't know how to use it.
Then Qiao Ze's words lifted his heart.
"I checked and Princeton's academic environment is very good."
"Uh..." Xu Dajiang subconsciously looked at Li Jiangao who said nothing. He couldn't refute this.
After all, this is a fact recognized throughout the world.
Li Jiangao felt Xu Dajiang's gaze, but he pretended not to see it.
Because he also thinks that Princeton is really good. If Qiao Ze really wants to go, Li Jiangao doesn't see much reason to stop him.
Of course, if we look at the current international environment, if a kid like Qiao Ze who has already shown his talent in technology really wants to go, it would be really hard to come back. After all, he participated in the design of the new generation of lithography machines. He also released Doudou’s incredible artificial intelligence model online.
The value of a genius child who is just obsessed with the study of mathematical theory is ultimately different from that of a child who not only does mathematical research at an astonishing speed, but also has proven himself in the most cutting-edge technological development.
For the former, no matter where they are, their achievements can be shared with the world, so it doesn't matter where they go and they won't be made things difficult for them in every possible way.
The specific details of the cutting-edge technology developed by the latter will certainly not be made public, which can completely build towering technical barriers.
But from a purely academic perspective, Princeton is actually very suitable for a child like Qiao Ze.
Li Jiangao knew Qiao Ze's life goals. At least at this stage, Princeton was indeed one of the most suitable places for Qiao Ze to fulfill his wish.
So the three of them fell into silence at the same time.
In the end, Xu Dajiang was the one who couldn't hold his breath anymore. He sighed and said, "Then... what do you think?"
Qiao Ze replied: "Replace it."
This sentence once again stunned both men.
Especially Xu Dajiang, for a moment, he felt as if he was hearing hallucinations, and subconsciously repeated: "Replace it?"
"Yeah." Qiao Ze nodded.
"You mean our mathematics college?" Xu Dajiang asked in surprise.
“Princeton is a school.”
Qiao Ze corrected him casually, then casually pulled out a printed material from the table and handed it to Xu Dajiang: "These are some of my previous thoughts. It must be somewhat idealistic, but I feel that if it succeeds, the future will not be the same." It will be much worse than Princeton.”
Xu Dajiang took the materials handed over by Qiao Ze and glanced at the title - "Thirteen Suggestions on the Development of Xilin Engineering's Natural Science into Academic Development".
I have to say that this issue is indeed very ambitious.
After briefly scanning the first suggestion, he took a deep breath.
It is indeed a bit idealistic.
But seeing this at least made Xu Dajiang relieved.
This shows that Qiao Ze still prefers to stay in China.
At least this doesn't require him to waste time on work.
Not to mention that the advice Qiao Ze gave was actually no different from his goals.
Especially from the general introduction, he could see that Qiao Ze’s suggestion was an academic linkage development model with the School of Mathematics and Statistics as the core.
If it can really succeed, the status of the School of Mathematics in the school will be infinitely improved.
This is indeed good news for him.
"I will study it carefully. No, I should say that I will report it to the school and we will study it together. Even if it is a bit idealistic, it doesn't matter. We can take it in several steps. In fact, the school's engineering student pool is still very large. It’s strong. If we can really make up for it in science, it’s not hopeless to surpass Princeton in the future.”
Xu Dajiang said excitedly.
Really, at least Qiao Ze would have this attitude, which he didn't expect at all.
Sure enough, the thinking mode of genius is so different.
People tempted him with the unparalleled academic environment, but he actually wanted to transform the surrounding environment into that of Princeton.
If this plan is really launched, wouldn't it be possible to keep Qiao Ze at Xilin University of Technology?
After all, this development plan was planned by Qiao Ze himself. Who doesn’t want to personally participate in their own planning and construction, and then wait to see the final results.
"Oh." Qiao Ze nodded and managed to cope with it.
Xu Dajiang's statement did not surprise him.
But Qiao Ze's idea is actually very simple.
If the school can improve according to his wishes in the future, he will stay in Xilin. If it fails, he will graduate directly after Uncle Li becomes an academician, leave Xilin and go to a more suitable place, or go it alone.
He had already seen the school's graduation requirements from undergraduate to doctoral degree, and they were so simple that they seemed ridiculous.
Theoretically, he can apply for a Ph.D. now, write two papers at will, one for a master's degree, and one for a Ph.D., and then leave.
As for the bachelor’s thesis…
There is no need to think, just let Doudou pull out the records of his recent thoughts in a small direction, and a little polishing is enough.
It's not that Qiao Ze is proud. The main reason is that he already has a rough understanding of the level of professors in the School of Mathematics. The writing is too profound, and in fact he is not very friendly to the thesis advisor.
After all, for undergraduate defenses, tutors from outside the school are generally not invited.
Xu Dajiang has long been accustomed to Qiao Ze's attitude. For this child, his willingness to write this proposal is probably for Li Jiangao's sake, and he can't ask for more.
So he simply started the next topic.
"Qiao Ze, now that you have finished your new project, it is estimated that you will have to apply for it in a few days. What are your plans next?" Xu Dajiang asked seriously.
Qiao Ze did not answer directly, but directly took out another piece of manuscript paper from the table and handed it over.
Xu Dajiang took the manuscript paper suspiciously and took a look.
[im=(ig2/|pp|2+mφ2)2m^ss·2mδ^rr]……
Well, looking at the rows of formulas and pictures made him feel dizzy.
"This is……"
"You probably haven't read the paper I just published, so it's a little difficult to understand. This is a mathematical method constructed following the previous paper. Let's call it the non-shaped shear method. Starting from the non-Abelian exchange field, Make a Feynman diagram and use Feynman rules to calculate some formulas and calculation results that can be obtained by calculating the scattering amplitude. Then use this method to explain the nuclear force.
If I can succeed, I can describe the strong force in a very simple mathematical way and unify it with the electromagnetic force. And this is just one step, because proving this point can lead to a mathematical explanation of the existence of the mass gap. "
After saying this, Qiao Ze glanced at Li Jiangao.
There are still some slight mood swings in my heart.
Because when he met Uncle Li, Uncle Li had reminded him that before he achieved results, it was best not to tell others about this small goal, lest people think he was too ambitious.
But today, he probably has the qualifications to speak out openly about this issue that he has been thinking about for several years.
He wants to solve this problem, which is the most difficult even among the seven Millennium Problems.
Of course, it is only limited to the mathematical level for the time being.
Even so, if he can succeed, it will definitely be an extremely shocking thing for the mathematics and physics circles.
It may even be directly promoted to the altar by a group of quantum physicists.
The reason is also very simple. The reason why this problem has not been solved yet is because there are no suitable mathematical tools to analyze it.
If Qiao Ze can succeed, it means that he will once again propose a series of mathematical tools to help physicists understand this concept more clearly and even continue to move forward.
You must know that in Western academic circles, the search for a grand unified theory has almost driven many scholars into confusion.
Any tool that is helpful in this direction will most likely be held up on the altar and worshiped by these people.
This is probably an emotion that countless ordinary people cannot understand.
People who have not devoted their whole lives to exploring the ultimate mysteries of the universe cannot understand the thinking mode of "hearing the Tao in the morning and dying in the evening", nor can they imagine that this is divorced from the so-called spirit of dedication, simply because of that exuberance. Curiosity and thirst for knowledge, which can overcome almost everything, are at work.
So when Qiao Ze's words fell into Xu Dajiang's ears, even though Xu Dajiang was considered a well-informed boss, countless words of "f*ck" popped into his mind.
Of course, with Xu Dajiang's identity, he would never say such words.
But I was already a little overwhelmed emotionally.
Although I had some speculations before, it felt different to hear Qiao Ze say it himself.
If Qiao Ze can really solve this problem at Xilin University of Technology, it will be a good story for future universities.
If Qiao Ze can solve this problem within seven years, then Xilin University of Technology will probably have the first native-born Chinese Fields Medal winner in Chinese history, and by the way, set a new record for the youngest Fields Medal winner.

Seven years represents two mathematician conferences, which means two opportunities to win the Fields Medal. And seven years later, Qiao Ze will be 25 years old. If it is delayed for one more term, Qiao Ze will be 29 years old!
There is a consensus in the mathematics community that if anyone can win the Fields Medal before the age of 28, it is certain that he will become a big boss in the future as high as Olivier.
If Qiao Ze is still solving the problem of the quality gap hypothesis, Xu Dajiang feels that it cannot be described as shoulder to shoulder. In the future, it is better to surpass.
And Xu Dajiang always felt that with Qiao Ze's current talent, it was entirely possible to complete this proposition in seven years, and it might not even take that long at all.
After all, who has ever seen the speed at which the thesis has already been submitted just after the project was applied for?
The proposition is not simple. Not only was it published in the "Annals of Mathematics", it was even praised by Fields Medal winners.
What's even more outrageous is that during the gap, this guy still had time to develop an extremely powerful artificial intelligence and gain a lot of reputation.
As for Li Jiangao, he just nodded slightly after meeting Qiao Ze's gaze.
This means that he also agrees that there is nothing wrong with Qiao Ze speaking out at this time.
He even has no problem announcing his idea in front of the whole world.
After all, there are really not many people who are qualified to laugh at Qiao Ze for being so ambitious. Those who are really qualified will definitely not want to laugh at Qiao Ze, but try their best to recruit him to do research together, even if they can It’s also good to communicate frequently.
There is a difference between a genius who is still unknown and a genius who has proven himself countless times.
After a long time, Xu Dajiang recovered from the shocking and inexplicable emotion, and said with a wry smile: "The goal turned out to be this problem. In fact, I also studied it when I was young. How can I say that the mass gap hypothesis is a problem for mathematicians? Physics puzzle, for physicists it is a mathematical puzzle.
If you really want to do this subject, the school may not be able to provide you with much help. After all, you also know that the school’s advantage does not lie in purely theoretical research, but if you need anything, I guarantee on behalf of the school that it will be 100% able to satisfy you. "
Xu Dajiang's promise is very solemn, even if skipping a level represents the school.
But he still has confidence.
In the past, a foreign mathematics boss from the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton was poached by Facebook, but another Doudou dominated the Chinese Internet. If the school didn't fully support him, then his ideals would have to change, and he would be able to move forward to a higher position to serve the future boss in front of him.
Unfortunately, Qiao Ze still just nodded casually.
In fact, he didn't know what the school could do for him.
When it comes to a subject of this difficulty, there are not many units in the world that can help him.
The Yang-Mills theory has been proposed for more than half a century, and it has been 23 years since it was put on the list of millennium problems with real money and US dollars as a reward. Not to mention completely solving this problem now, going forward There isn’t much promotion, do you not want to study this thing?
"Since you already have an idea, I think you can still submit a report. Although it seems a bit unusual to put this proposition directly in the school's project application. But the school can also help you continue to apply.
Even if you can come up with some convincing evidence later, no one will object to setting up a mathematical institute around this proposition. When the time comes, you will recommend Jiangao to be the director, and I will serve you wholeheartedly! "
Xu Dajiang said with great momentum.
Li Jiangao glanced at Xu Dajiang and opened his mouth, but in the end he couldn't say anything.
Well, now Lao Xu is thinking about how to arrange him all day long, right?
This year he has to be evaluated as doctoral supervisor, full professor, outstanding young person, and then become director and academician. Every step sounds so stable.
Li Jiangao felt that his life would soon be over at a glance.
"Oh, okay." Qiao Ze finally responded this time.
Qiao Ze was still very interested in Xu Dajiang's idea.
If such a research institute can really be established, then Uncle Li's students will have a regular place to attend classes and do research, and it will be very good if the results can be digested internally.
When he solves the mass gap hypothesis, he will probably become a world-renowned research institute.
No matter how the school develops, if the reputation of the institute can be comparable to that of the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, and it can attract some academic leaders to take up positions, it will also have its own academic platform and can cooperate with other institutes around the world. The benefits are still A lot of.
Although Qiao Ze is confident that he can solve the mass gap hypothesis independently, if he wants to find the truth of the universe by himself, he is really crazy.
The various photos and data taken by NASA's astronomical telescopes over the years, the data from countless collisions in the history of CERN, the information sent back to the earth by the Voyager spacecraft flying through the solar system, and so on, are all precious information accumulated over time.
If there is a platform that belongs entirely to him, it will be more convenient for academic cooperation.
"One last thing, the school called me yesterday. After knowing that Doudou is your recent research result, everyone is very happy. You see, Doudou is also quite popular on the Internet now. If you have a chance, , see if you can design it and let Doudou help promote our school."
Xu Dajiang said with a cheerful expression.
The problem that frightened him the most has been solved.
As long as Qiao Ze was willing to stay at Xilin University of Technology and Doudou spread the word, it would be a smooth process, and he could not find a reason why Qiao Ze was unwilling to agree.
"Tell Su Mucheng that she applied for the Weibo account." Qiao Ze responded casually.
"Okay, I don't have anything else to do here. Well, Jiangao, you haven't been here for a long time. Why don't you just talk to Qiao Ze first, and I'll leave first."
After talking about the matter, Xu Dajiang stood up and left directly. Of course, he did not forget to pick up the proposal Qiao Ze specially prepared for him.
Again, Qiao Ze, the kid, really wanted to stay in school, but he also really didn't want to meet or talk directly with Qiao Ze.
I feel very tired, and I feel that I am stupid for no reason. As we all know, no one can admit with peace of mind that he is stupider than others. Even if this is true.
So Xu Dajiang walked very simply and resolutely.
When he comes, he will definitely call Li Jiangao, but he never takes him with him when he leaves.
It would be nice to let the uncle and nephew interact more.
"You really don't plan to go to Princeton?" After Xu Dajiang left, Li Jiangao sighed in his heart and asked.
"Yes." Qiao Ze nodded, but still explained a little more: "If it were thirty years ago, I would definitely choose to go. Ten years ago, I would be hesitant, but now I definitely won't choose to go."
This explanation made Li Jiangao smile and said: "Thirty years ago...it was still twelve years before you were born."
Qiao Ze nodded, and then said: "Some time ago, when I was studying history, I took a look at the major events of the past few decades."
"So you think China will definitely surpass the opponent in the future?" Li Jiangao asked seriously.
Qiao Ze nodded and responded: "Yes."
"Oh, where did you base your judgment?" Li Jiangao was quite curious.
"Error tolerance."
"Error tolerance?"
"Well, to put it simply, China can still afford to lose, but the other side can no longer afford to lose. The negative consequences of industrial hollowing out have been proven once by some countries, but they still chose to do it again," Qiao Ze said.
"That makes sense." Li Jiangao smiled.
"If technology develops linearly, then there will be no difference between what it is now thirty years ago. The good news is that technology, like life, never develops linearly. The thirty-year golden development period in the accumulation stage of science and technology has become the biggest variable. This is I used Doudou to build a simple mathematical model and came up with the conclusion.”
Qiao Ze explained.
Li Jiangao nodded, then looked at Qiao Ze and asked curiously: "You seem to be in a good mood today?"
There was no academic talk today, so Qiao Ze talked more than usual. This made Li Jiangao, who was familiar with Qiao Ze, subconsciously feel that something was wrong.
Qiao Ze didn't avoid anything and nodded: "Well, I have grown up."
"Grown up?" This answer made Li Jiangao feel a little confused.
But seeing that Qiao Ze didn't intend to talk in depth, he felt that he couldn't ask anymore.
"Dean Xu introduced me to a girlfriend. We have been dating for a week. Her name is Mi Ge. She is very curious about you. If you have the opportunity, ask Xiao Su to have a meal with you." Li Jiangao decided to end today's conversation. , said something.
Anyway, he couldn't really regard Qiao Ze as his student. It was most comfortable to have equal and relaxed communication like today.
"Okay." Qiao Ze responded.
"Oh, by the way, one more thing, what do you think about Doudou?"
"Um?"
"You don't think that a powerful artificial intelligence like Doudou is really just left on the Internet to become an internet celebrity, right? It can do too many things, and can even give insights into some mathematical proofs." Li Jiangao emphasized.
He really didn't know why Qiao Ze was confused about this issue.
"It can do math problems, mainly for induction and summary of similar problems. It does not really have rigorous logical reasoning capabilities. In fact, I used it to retrieve and read papers at first, but it did not perform well enough in this aspect. Excellent. So for now it is a toy given to Orange, and she will decide."
Qiao Ze explained.
"Toy?"
Li Jiangao repeated it, and once again found that the gap between his and Qiao Ze's ideas was probably difficult to bridge. This was completely a transcendence in thinking mode.
Then he could only smile bitterly and said: "I understand, maybe you don't know yet? That little toy claimed on Weibo that it could solve the Riemann Hypothesis, but it was restricted by the Weibo comment area and could not write it out. The screenshot of this answer has been posted everywhere, and many people believe it."
Qiao Ze remained silent. What he felt at this time was that he had thought about deleting Doudou for a reason.
"Haha, what's your expression? Maybe you accidentally got into Fermat's sense of humor when you were letting him read the paper. At that time, Fermat's blank area was too small and there was not enough time. The mathematical community also believed it for many years. In the end, it was proven. Maybe Doudou’s prophecy this time will come true.”
Li Jiangao said with a big smile.
He really didn't expect that Qiao Ze would show such an interesting expression when he heard the news.
The slightly frowned brow resembled an old father who had been strict all his life. He felt helpless, unhappy, and slightly angry after hearing that his son was bragging outside.
"Uncle Li..."
"Um?"
"The idiom "One word can make a prophecy" is not usually used like this, because it means that bad things are predicted." Qiao Ze explained seriously.
"Oh, that's it! I'll pay attention next time. It's almost the end of the day. I should go. I'll have to read your paper when I get back. By the way, the reward for the last paper will probably be approved soon. This time It may take some time.
But how do you want to use the R&D funds approved this time? Talk to me later. In addition, if your next topic is to solve the mass gap hypothesis, I will not be able to ghostwrite the proposal report. You know, I can't really explain my abilities. "
Li Jiangao finished speaking in one breath, then stood up and left decisively.
It makes no sense. Didn’t we agree that Qiao Ze’s grades in liberal arts were very poor?
Why do you feel better than him?
…
In the office of Shiing-shen Chern Hall, Robert Stephen had just stretched himself.
The sky outside the window had already darkened, but he seemed not to notice it.
There are still remnants of sandwiches on the table, which were brought specially by students just now.
The manuscript paper on the desk is already filled with the proof process that he verified casually.
Just testing the proof of the first theorem in this paper had already taken him a whole day. But he had to say that the calculation process, which was like moving clouds and flowing water, was indeed full of unparalleled beauty.
Even though he, who is always known for his rigor, spent a whole day, he could not find any mistakes.
Not to mention the errors in mathematical proofs, there is even no problem with the grammar. It is completely unlike a paper written by a mathematician from a non-English speaking country.
No, the author of the paper cannot even be called a mathematician, just a student.
At this moment, he roughly understood why Daniel posted that Facebook post. Because at this moment, he also had the same thought.
This kid is so strong!
