Super God-Level Top Student-Chapter 760 - 290 Ideal and Reality

"Jian Gao, Jian Gao, are you missing a screw in your head? Do you really not understand what it means when Qiao Ze asks you to complete the paper and then translate it? That's a blessing that others can't even dream about, yet you're always thinking about pushing it away? I've told you so much before; did none of it sink in?"

Under the twilight sky, Xu Dajiang muttered in frustration.

Li Jiangao hung his head, too lazy to make a sound.

He wasn't stupid; he quickly realized what Qiao Ze and Xu Dajiang were getting at.

But this was a bit too much.

What qualifications did he, Li Jiangao, have to sign his name on the paper that solved the Riemann hypothesis? That would be a joke on an international scale.

It would be a different case if he had actually contributed something significant, but proofreading a paper and then translating it into English? Any doctoral student in the institute could do that. If such minor assistance warranted a signature, it would be far too lax.

"Why don't you understand? Qiao Ze has so many honors, they're practically spilling over. Adding one more name is a good thing. Joined by master and disciple, invincible in the world, understand? Oh, Jian Gao, think it over carefully when you get back. Don't let your student's good intentions go to waste."

When they arrived at the parked car, Xu Dajiang patted Li Jiangao on the shoulder with a serious expression and said, "Also, make sure to polish the paper well, and try to be as accurate as possible with the English translation. There are some articles on Princeton's official website that have defined some specialized vocabulary in Qiao Algebra; you need to study them."

After all, when the paper on Riemann can be published depends on your efficiency. Ideally, it should be before the end of term exams, as a big news story to boost everyone's morale. It's like giving a shot in the arm to those outstanding students who have already applied to our School of Mathematics. Do you want me to give you a ride?"

Li Jiangao shook his head, his mood complex. He wanted to take a walk to clear his head.

Xu Dajiang didn't insist. He got into the car, closed the door, and the serious smile he had just worn was instantaneously replaced by one he couldn't suppress.

Xu Dajiang could never have imagined that Qiao Ze also had such a deep understanding of number theory. Once the paper on Riemann was out, he was eager to see who would still suggest that Qiao Ze should focus on physics in the future.

Physics, after all, what's so hard about it? Even putting a genius like that into applied science would be a waste of time.

He needed to tell Su that since the Riemann hypothesis was solved, the problem with the Stuart Equation probably wasn't big.

If the Yang-Mills Equations could be solved, then the N-S Equations probably could be too.

As well as the Four Color Theorem and the P=NP Problem.

But he couldn't be in too much of a hurry. There were still seven years left before his retirement; ideally, he would solve one major problem per year. By the year of his retirement, he could achieve a grand slam. By then, Xilin University would likely become the center of mathematics on Earth.

Thinking about it, Qiao Ze is really a gold mine. He had previously underestimated this genius of his and he needed to think of ways to continue tapping into Qiao Ze's potential—making the most of his youth to produce more results was always good.

Every time he thought about this, Xu Dajiang couldn't contain his smile.

As for Li Jiangao...

That blockhead would just have to figure things out himself.

Since he was the one who "found" Qiao Ze, he naturally had to take responsibility. Not to mention that it was only a matter of getting past his moral scruples...

If only Li Jiangao's thinking wasn't so rigid.

But on second thought, if Li Jiangao wasn't of this character, dealing harmoniously with a genius like Qiao Ze—who could so easily see into people's hearts—would be questionable.

Alas, perfect situations are hard to come by since ancient times.

...

Having said goodbye to Xu Dajiang, Li Jiangao watched as Xu Dajiang's Audi passed by him, showing no change in expression.

He was truly conflicted inside.

It wasn't for show; it just didn't seem right to him.

Academia is about rigor, and so is Qiao Ze.

It was only in his case that Qiao Ze seemed particularly lax.

Li Jiangao wasn't merely concerned about future accusations of gaining fame under false pretenses. He was afraid that if someone were to scrutinize this public account in the future, they would use exaggerated terms to describe Qiao Ze's psychological issues.

Although it wasn't a matter of academic fraud—a fundamental issue—it still felt oddly unsettling. It wasn't about being overly moralistic; it was a strange feeling from deep within that this was not right, even if Qiao Ze himself didn't care.

In fact, editing Qiao Ze's paper was quite interesting.

Because retracing Qiao Ze's thought process and understanding his ideas during that process was genuinely enlightening.

That's probably why the manuscripts of top mathematicians are so incredibly valuable.

As for whether Qiao Ze could be considered a leading contemporary mathematician...

That depended on which mathematician in the world today could solve the Yang-Mills Equations and the mass gap hypothesis in a matter of months, as well as prove Riemann within an afternoon.

From that perspective, the reviewers of Qiao Ze's paper would likely be clamoring for the honor.

If the manuscripts from Qiao Ze's calculations were auctioned off, they would surely fetch a high price, even without waiting for Qiao Ze's death.

Many business tycoons, even if just to flatter Qiao Ze, would probably bid those manuscripts up to jaw-dropping prices.

After all, there's so much demand for material models.

From large-scale infrastructure to various consumer electronics, even toys, and if you include battery technologies built around new elements... freёwebnoѵel.com

Thinking about it, Li Jiangao even shivered involuntarily.

This wasn't from the cold; as a matter of fact, Xilin's June weather was starting to heat up, carrying a hint of early summer.
