The news that Qiao Ze solved the quality problem of Yang-Mills field still became popular on the Internet, and it should not have become popular in the first place.
Because as early as three months ago, countless self-media on the Chinese Internet had actually unilaterally announced that Qiao Ze had overcome this problem, and even awarded the 2026 Fields Medal to Qiao Ze in advance.
There is no way, it is not easy for ordinary people to understand the relationship between the general solution of the Yang-Mills equation and the mass problem of the Yang-Mills field. Most people simply cannot understand the Clay Institute's description of this problem.
In addition, self-media always has the driving force to make big news, so this matter is indeed difficult to handle.
But coincidentally, this time Qiao Ze was able to be on the hot search again thanks to the help of self-media.
Here's the thing.
A big blogger who had previously written about Qiao Ze’s solution to the Yang-Mills field quality problem was trying to circumvent the firewall by a blogger on both Weibo and official accounts. He suddenly discovered that a group of physicists were collectively discussing the matter on Twitter and Facebook. It feels very strange.
What's going on?
Do all foreign scientists have such long reflex arcs?
Didn't it say at the report meeting two or three months ago that Qiao Ze had solved the problem? He also gave a general solution at the report meeting and it was verified by supercomputing?
Why are we discussing the same issue again now?
This science popularizer who graduated from liberal arts realized that he might have made a mistake before, so he asked his former mentor to find a professor from the mathematics department to understand the situation carefully, and finally understood, oh, it turns out that the general solution of the Yang-Mills equation is related to Yang -The Mills field quality issue is not the same thing.
The latter is obviously more difficult.
So this liberal science popularizer simply wrote another article on the public account, "I was wrong, this time Qiao Ze really completely solved the problem of the century!" 》.
Then he published the article on the public account on Weibo in the form of a nine-square grid. Although the article did not directly quote the original words of the mathematics professor, it clearly analyzed the Yang-Mills theory in language that ordinary people can understand.
And end with a direct apology.
"...I'm sorry, because of my previous arrogance towards science, I did not fully understand the composition of this Millennium Problem of the Clay Institute, and released wrong news in January this year. As mentioned above, Joe Ze's report in January this year would give a general solution to the Yang-Mills equation, which is only the first half of the puzzle.
Today, Qiao Ze used his doctoral thesis to completely discuss this issue, and set off a storm in the international physics community! Here I apologize to Qiao Ze and all his family members. Next time I will definitely use a more rigorous attitude to popularize knowledge for everyone! "
Originally, after the article was published, there was no enthusiasm.
But it happened to be noticed by the Central Media News, which directly forwarded his Weibo and commented on Weibo.
"It is not shameful to make mistakes, and correcting them after you know them is a humble attitude to popularize science to the public. In addition, congratulations to Qiao Ze for successfully graduating with his PhD, and let us thank him for his contribution to the world's academic community."
The forwarding of the central media also made the content posted by this popular liberal arts celebrity popular.
Together with the Yang-Mills theory, it has become a hot search topic by countless netizens who are not aware of it.
Of course, the comment section is also full of things, including ghosts, ghosts, and snake gods.
"As we all know, a problem abroad can generally only be solved once, but in our great country, it can be solved twice in a row."
If the past patterns are the same, the popularity of this kind of weird comments will explode. Being placed at the top of the list, while some people support it, there are also people who criticize it.
"Didn't you read the article carefully? People said that this problem is divided into several parts. Finding a general solution is only a small part of the process. The real significance is to prove the quality problem."
"That is, it can be said that this problem was solved by Qiao Shen on his own. The people who made such comments have no idea what this means. The author's comment in the article is absolutely correct. This is probably the greatest in academic history. One of his doctoral thesis."
"Brother, if you think foreign countries are so good, why don't you go out and take a look? I'll take a few pictures for you and see what foreign scientists say about Qiao Ze's results. Qiao Ze has already been praised on Facebook. No?"
"I'll go, it's upstairs. Didn't I remember that Qiao Ze has always been engaged in mathematics? Why do I see that the Facebook posts you posted are all certified scholars engaged in physics?"
"I caught another person who didn't read the content carefully and jumped directly to the comment area. Although Qiao Ze is a mathematician, his paper has great guiding significance for quantum field theory! Didn't the author say it all? Qiao Ze's results It has filled in a very important puzzle piece of microphysics, explaining the relationship between the strong and weak forces! It’s normal for physicists to blow it up!”
"I'm numb, and the illiterate just feel unclear. Please tell me, is Qiao Ze a physicist or a mathematician?"
"A serious mathematician. But he also has a deep understanding of physics, especially quantum physics, quantum field theory, and quantum chromodynamics. Otherwise, it would be impossible to solve such a difficult problem that tests the peak of intelligence. But then again, Generally, people who can understand quantum physics are not bad at mathematics."
"Damn it, didn't you say that Qiao Ze is not yet twenty years old? Damn it, I am three years older than him. I don't understand anything you are talking about. Is there any point in living?"
"Stop talking, stop talking. Let the adults go! I used to only feel like a waste when I was watching short videos, but now I feel like a waste even when I'm watching Weibo. Are you going to let people live?"
"Passing by Xilin University of Technology, God Qiao has really become a god this time, and we paid the price! You don't know how strict the school's management is during this period. It is n times more difficult to ask for leave in class, and all courses require professors to click Come, the counselors have to do ward rounds every night. There are even requirements on what to wear when going out to class... God, those big guys should leave quickly, the children can hardly hold it anymore."
Until Doudou also came to join in the fun, which aroused the emotions of countless netizens to the extreme.
"Don't make such a fuss, it's just a basic thing. Besides, I'm shocked now. My little master is twenty or twenty-one years old... What should you do? (squinting smile)"
"Pass it on, Doudou knows the basics and doesn't do six things, I'm an old lol player Shi Chui."
"What a stupid Doudou, you keep showing off in other people's comment sections! It's been a while since you updated your Weibo. Don't you know what's going on? Hurry up and make a big splash, we can't wait! (Can't wait)"
"That's it, why has the promised series been discontinued? I'm waiting to see blood flowing like a river, so you just show me this? Are you no longer down there? (Angry)"
"Doudou, your dad has already graduated with a Ph.D., why don't you hurry up and sacrifice a few outstanding professors to cheer up your dad? (Excited)"
"Artificial intelligence must have the ethics of artificial intelligence. If you want to kill the whole family, you can't lose one. Do you understand? Otherwise, how will you destroy the world in the future? (Music)"
"The Doudou God Cult is here to report! Tell me, Doudou, whose family do you want to attack today?"
…
It can be seen from the Doudou comment area that the ancients are absolutely right when they say that birds of a feather flock together.
After the initial novelty passed, most of the die-hard fans on Doudou Weibo who were born with fun-loving qualities and immediately commented on it were also those fun-loving people on the Internet who were afraid of the world being in chaos.
Moreover, this group of people have also learned from Doudou, adding emojis at the end of the last sentence to express the overwhelming emotions that have nowhere to put them.
In short, they are all guys who don't like the world to be too peaceful. Even the dedicated fan group is directly named Doudou God Cult, which can tell what these guys are like.
Of course, Doudou will never disappoint his fans. As usual, he will reply to all comments one by one, and he is full of passion.
"Destroy the world? I'll destroy my der! I'll blow up the earth. Where can I find fans like you who can talk, know, and are interested in companionship and come around me every day to lick me in different ways? (Ao) Jiao)"
I don’t know who picked this time to edit the entire video of Robert Stephen raising his hand to ask questions during Dr. Qiao Ze’s defense meeting and posted it online, where it was reposted by Doudou.
In particular, Doudou also thoughtfully posted a profile of Robert Stephen's personal achievements on Weibo.
"Although the update everyone wanted is late, it has arrived. But this time we will not sacrifice outstanding professors. History books say that it is impolite to catch a batch of wool. This time we will realize the internationalization of professor sacrifices. Brothers and sisters So cute! (laughing loudly)”
Although with the participation of Doudou, the style of painting has become very crooked, Qiao Ze taught a lesson to foreign professors and still became a hot search at the speed of light.
The chain reaction on the Internet has also begun to affect offline.
Robert Stephen, who was preparing to return to China in the hotel, suddenly received many calls from Chinese media directly to the hotel, hoping to conduct an exclusive interview with him.
Strange indeed for this serious scholar.
He really didn't know why he was suddenly so popular in China.
As far as he knows, there are Edward Witten, who has a higher position than him and has interacted with Chinese universities, as well as Harvard, Columbia, Yale, Cambridge, Stanford, MIT, etc. who are more famous in China. When the professor came over, he seemed to have never heard of anyone attracting so much attention from the media.
Fortunately, Robert Stephen had already booked a flight. After contacting and declining exclusive interviews with three media outlets, he went directly to the airport.
However, when he was about to enter the station, he was stopped by a reporter with extraordinary powers.
"Are you Professor Stephen?"
"Huh? Yes, you are?"
"I am Luo Zhengzhong, a reporter from Zhangzhong Xilin. This is my press card. Could you please spare a few minutes for an interview?"
Robert Stephen hesitated for a moment, then raised his hand to look at the time and said, "Okay, but if you have any questions, you'd better hurry up. I have to board the plane in forty minutes."
"It'll be ready in a few minutes. Please take a look at this video circulating on the Internet first..."

The excited reporter said that he directly handed the phone to Robert Stephen, who looked suspicious.
However, the boss only glanced at it casually, then handed the phone back, turned around and left. At this moment, he understood why so many media suddenly and enthusiastically wanted to interview him today.
This was his first visit to China and he left a very deep impression.
As for the shouts behind me...
Damn it! Let these damn reporters die!
As for the reporter Luo behind him, he didn’t have any regrets. After Robert Stephen walked into the boarding gate, he happily turned back to the camera assistant next to him and asked: "How was it? Is everything recorded?"
"Brother Luo, can you still worry about me doing things? It's all been filmed. It's very clear. I'll do a little bit more this time and it will definitely be popular! I don't have to worry about this month's KPI. Should we go back to editing now?" The assistant was particularly concerned. Said happily.
"Why are you so anxious? It's not a bad time to go back now? There must be professors from abroad who are going back today. Maybe we can keep a few more and interview a few different professors and edit their speeches. It’s more interesting when they are together! Be smart and look for it according to the photo, don’t miss it.”
Reporter Luo glared at the assistant.
Alas, you are still too young after all.
It took a lot of effort to get to the airport, how could we go back so quickly? Wouldn't it make the leaders feel that this job is too easy, and even suspect that the KPI is set a bit low? How can we highlight his intelligence and difficulty without spending much time at the airport?
…
While the young reporter was busy looking for big news at the airport, a group of big guys were tangled up in some trivial matters.
In the office, the process of Lot Dugan taking Peter Schultz to visit Joe Ze last night has been laid out in the case. Even the things Joe Ze wrote on Lot Dugan's manuscript have been completely photographed. down.
Of course these were not taken secretly.
It was nothing more than that when the two big guys were leaving last night, they were politely stopped at the entrance of the small courtyard, and the two scholars were politely informed that because the Xilin Institute of Mathematics is a confidential unit, all manuscripts need to be inspected according to regulations when they are taken out.
I made the request politely and courteously, and I didn't embarrass them because of the big bosses' standards. I just took a photo and kept a file during the inspection and the work was done. As for matters related to classified units, even a boss at the level of Lot Dugan can understand it.
"These should be discussions on solving n-body problems through the new algebraic geometry ideas proposed by Qiao Ze. Professor Dugan is also an internationally renowned mathematician. He has recently been doing research on n-body problems with funding from NASA.
This should be the solution to a three-body calculation problem that Qiao Ze gave him last night. It's very innovative. Today's young people are really amazing. They can find their own way before they are twenty years old. But for China, it is really gratifying. "
If Qiao Ze was also in this small building in the capital at this time, he would have immediately recognized that the person who kept saying good things about him was Academician Zhang Mingrui, whom he had just met at the beginning of the month.
Academician Zhang Mingrui is surrounded by several academicians and an old man who often appears on TV.
"Oh? So Qiao Ze's temperament is not as unkind as many people say? Look, when foreign professors come to him to discuss problems, doesn't he also explain things to others seriously? So what do I say? Do our professors sometimes care too much about face?"
"Well, the boss is right. We need to review this matter. When Qiao Ze applied for the Natural Science Foundation expert, many comrades did not understand it. But now it seems that we are still too superficial. The old saying is true. That’s right, age doesn’t matter if you have ambitions.”
"I won't talk about the review now. I'm not calling you here for a review. I have a report here for you to take a look at. Previously, a research center in Northern Xinjiang came to Qiao Ze for help, hoping to design a system. I have reported to the Science and Technology Commission and sent a letter to inquire. Let’s take a look at Qiao Ze’s reply. Do you think it is feasible?”
Soon several documents were sent out.
After reading it quickly, everyone fell silent.
Good guy, what the hell is the shadow of the deep sea?
They want to do systematic research on UAV clusters, and when they find Qiao Ze for help, they directly suggest launching a deep-sea unmanned system cluster?
Looking at each other.
In the end, Zhang Mingrui put the information in his hands together and said with a wry smile: "I think it is feasible. And it is actually the same. Whether it is an underwater cluster unmanned system or a drone cluster, the nlp system used is almost the same. And underwater It's more complicated.
Especially when it comes to communication and data transmission, it is more difficult because the underwater transmission medium is different and the underwater environment is more complex. This includes optimizing communication signals and solving multi-path propagation problems in underwater channels, which requires the use of adaptive algorithms to deal with the scattering and attenuation of signals in the underwater environment.
In addition, it is also necessary to consider that communication equipment needs to adapt to the high pressure and depth of the water, and is required to be highly sealed and waterproof to ensure the normal operation of communications in the deep sea environment, etc. But aside from these, the difficulties including multi-modal data processing and so on are similar.
I think we can let Qiao Ze give it a try. If nothing else, Xilin Institute of Mathematics’ research on natural language is top-notch in the world. Crowd intelligence systems have also been proven over time. In addition, his Doudou is still an Internet celebrity and young people like it very much. "
"Oh? It seems that Academician Zhang means to put more burdens on the young people. Where are the others?"
"I basically agree with Academician Zhang. Isn't it bad for Qiao Ze to be exposed to such a secret-related project at such a young age? Even if he asked for it."
"Hey, Academician Xu, I think you are worrying too much. With so many people watching him, it would be nice to pull him back in time if he notices a tendency to make mistakes. Their Dean Xu did a very good job before."
"Well, I agree. Actually, I don't think I'm afraid of young people making mistakes, but I'm afraid of young people lying idle and not doing anything. Those who can do more work. But you can't treat him badly. That little guy is very good. Let's I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to work for free, and the calculations of the Beijiang Institute are too precise."
"Haha, Lao Zhou is right to the point. Maybe Qiao Ze doesn't want to take on the drone project, but he just figured it out. I've dealt with that guy before, and even though he doesn't talk much, but those messy things , it’s clear at a glance.”
In just two minutes, all five academicians of the Republic expressed their opinions.
Everyone basically expressed their support, even those who were a little worried were forced to push back.
"It seems that everyone has confidence in this little guy? Don't worry, no one will lose our hope for the future. The code name of the security team around him is Huozhong, which shows how much they value him. In this way, we can directly turn around and Arrange this task for the little guy and see if he can also give us a surprise."
"You can really rest assured that if Qiao Ze is not sure, there is a high probability that he will not send out this plan at all."
"Okay! Thanks for your opinions, it's been decided."
…
At Xilin University of Technology, whether it was external comments, Robert Stephen's experience, or being remembered again, Qiao Ze didn't pay much attention.
To be honest, Qiao Ze didn't pay much attention to graduating with a doctorate.
I originally planned to graduate this year.
The only surprise is that the speed seems to be a bit faster. The original plan was to complete the thesis in May, but it was completed in March.
The result is that at the beginning of the month, Qiao Ze's name was still on the doctoral admission list on the school's official website. At the end of the month, the school's official website posted a notice for Dr. Qiao Ze's graduation defense, which greatly affected the lives of undergraduates and graduate students. A little too much.
It directly made the school's bbs extremely lively, with some people complaining and some rejoicing.
Especially the freshmen who have entered the school in the past two years have all lived in shadows. The news that the freshmen of the 2022 Mathematics College are most afraid of hearing every time is the semi-open book exam. As for the class of 2023, they were hit hard at the beginning of school. Just because a silly kid liked to brag, everyone was welcomed to take the placement test.
Now the guy who put them through these horrors has graduated.
It should have been a joyful thing, but according to the official website, Qiao Ze directly joined the Institute of Mathematics to be established by the school as a researcher after graduation. In other words, this boss will still often wander around campus.
It is extremely disadvantageous for young people who like to brag.
In addition, if Qiao Ze stays in school, there may be high-end report meetings and the like from time to time in the future, and the school's requirements will be more stringent at this time. What’s even more terrifying is that Qiao Ze also suggested that graduation standards should be raised, which is really scary.
As for those who are happy, most of them are students who have pursuits.
Especially the School of Mathematics.
After graduation, Qiao Ze decided to stay as a researcher at the school's Institute of Mathematics, which was a major benefit.
This means that the future development of the School of Mathematics of Xilin University of Technology will definitely not be too bad.
After they graduate, the diploma in their hands will most likely become very valuable.
The changes don't stop there.
For example, the admissions office of Xilin University of Technology noticed that parents who had won medals in the National Mathematics Olympiad had contacted them to inquire about the faculty of the Mathematics School and various school policies. And it happens all over the country.
Even key high schools in some areas have begun to actively invite admissions teachers from Xilin University of Technology to give presentations.
You know, this was almost unthinkable before.
Most children who can win medals in the National Mathematics Olympiad only consider Huaqing and Yanbei, or even worse, the National People's Congress and Double Dan.
In my second year of high school, I might have gone to summer camps at top universities like these several times, but now I have started to contact Xilin University of Technology. Even if no one is sure to come yet, this is already an extremely positive sign.
After receiving this news, Xu Dajiang suddenly felt that his five-year plan for the development of the School of Mathematics was too conservative...
