Chapter 479: Chapter 154 Paper Publication_3

After all, the achievement Qiao Yu made earlier with the curve’s upper bound was not very sensational, finding a gap in the proof of the Geometric Langlands Conjecture and then solving it; much work was still based on the foundation of predecessors.

But the Generalized Modal Axiomatic System is different, not only because Qiao Yu was the first to propose it, he also used his own theory to reduce prime number intervals to single digits.

Research that had been stagnant for over a decade suddenly dropped significantly, giving many researchers in the field a glimpse of completely solving a series of prime number conjectures.

These people naturally are the most excited and happy, well, actually, some aren’t that thrilled; after all, if the topic one has been working hard on is solved by someone else in advance, the feelings can be quite mixed…

Of course, some people’s mindsets become very complicated.

For example, the few top-level professors from Jinzhou University. Chen Zhuoyang didn’t care much, but Dean Zhang was actually among the participants in this conference.

After all, this top-level conference in Huaxia always serves not only for academic exchange but also as a great occasion for networking.

Although registration fees, accommodation fees, and round-trip travel expenses are self-funded, the funding for mathematics projects already includes the expenses required for participating in various academic conferences, which can fully be accounted for on public funds.

After hearing people talk about this news about Qiao Yu, several people were quite shocked.

Of course, the shock was limited. After all, word was spreading about Qiao Yu’s papers, but the fact that one paper had Chen Zhuoyang as the first author was not mentioned by anyone deliberately.

The first to read the papers are usually experts, who understand the essence after reading two papers once.

Of course, this is not to say that the work done by Chen Zhuoyang is not important; in fact, the validation work is one of the most crucial parts of a paper.

But by dividing it into two separate papers, it highlights that this part’s content does not require too much innovative thinking.

Simply put, the formulas are already derived and placed there, directly substituting them for verification. Of course, the reality isn’t that simple, but as long as one’s foundation in Advanced Mathematics is solid enough, and is done with meticulous attention, many people can still manage to do it.

But no one can deny that these are articles published in Ann.Math. There have always been many unwritten rules in this world, and if this article is not considered valid, it would involve too many people.

“This Qiao Yu is incredible! No wonder Elder Yuan and Academician Tian could reconcile and even initiate joint training. By the way, Dean Zhang, when you return, ask Xiao Chen how he gets along with Qiao Yu. If there is a chance, you can invite Qiao Yu to give a lecture.”

While having dinner together in the evening, Academician Shi Yunchuan, the only academician at the school, said this after understanding the situation.

It obviously carried a hint.

The school is so small that many things don’t need to be inquired about; news naturally spreads to the ears. Not asking doesn’t mean not knowing.

Mentioning it today actually implies telling him to stop targeting Chen Zhuoyang.

It’s only considering that Zhang Guohong is an older member of the faculty, and the work is also important, being in charge of scientific research, discipline construction, graduate education, and professional development, so his face needs to be saved as the words weren’t spelled out clearly.

“Okay, Professor Shi, I’ll ask when I return, and try to invite him during this semester.”

Zhang Guohong didn’t say much and nodded in agreement.

Although Shi Yunchuan doesn’t hold a specific post at the school, as the only academician there, he is a banner for Jinzhou University to some extent.

In public, when a big figure says this, he cannot ignore it. Although whether they can really invite Qiao Yu is actually irrelevant.

His mood is still not very comforting.

This is quite normal; everyone applying for projects feels their own project is the most qualified. Other people’s projects are either empty words or have no hope of completion or are utterly useless…

So why are others approved and ours not?

In any case, as long as competition is fierce and resources limited, such contradictions will inevitably exist and persist.

On the other hand, today, both Tian Yanzhen and Yuan Zhengxin laughed so hard that their faces almost stiffened.

After all, whenever they start a conversation, Qiao Yu always gets mentioned, and once Qiao Yu’s name is brought up, it is hard not to smile…

Of course, all of this has nothing to do with Qiao Yu.

In fact, after casually having a meal with Qiao Xi, even the door was not stepped out.

Although he is not yet Qiao Xi’s teacher, lecturing his mother still feels very fulfilling.

…

The next day, the 2025 Huaxia Mathematics Society Annual Meeting finally officially opened.

The opening ceremony was held in the large banquet hall of the main hotel, which can accommodate over three thousand people.

The opening ceremony began at 8:10, and by before 8 o’clock, the banquet hall was already crowded with people.

Except for the positions with nameplates on the podium and in the front row, the rest were nearly casual seating.

Acquainted people began exchanging small talk. Naturally, some people started making new friends.

Not knowing anybody is not an issue, crowd around, and once you talk to one person, you can get to know many others.

In this era, business cards are not very popular in Huaxia; if conversations go well, friends can casually add one another on WeChat for future communication.

Qiao Yu and Qiao Xi didn’t join in this excitement. They followed Director Tian and Elder Yuan into the venue five minutes early, and seats were naturally arranged in the front row.

Qiao Yu was one of the special invited speakers at the conference this time. Sitting in the front row is the minimum respect the organizers could show, and as for Qiao Xi, it was mainly due to Elder Yuan’s influence.
