CHAPTER 521: CHAPTER 164: HERE TO BECOME A DISCIPLE?_2

There’s no helping it, Qiao Yu belongs to that kind of junior with boundless potential. But dissatisfaction can be expressed by seriously talking nonsense.

"Oh, got it!" Qiao Yu nodded with a smile, then ran to Director Tian’s office door, knocked boldly, and then pushed the door open.

However, he didn’t go in directly, instead, he poked his head in and said, "Director Tian, I’m here."

"If you’re here, just come in, why? Do you need me to invite you?"

Hmm, sounds like a harsh tone.

Qiao Yu walked into the office, not directly finding a seat as usual, but obediently went to Director Tian’s desk, intending to listen to the mentor’s lecture.

"What have you been busy with lately? Any progress on the project with Professor Zhang? The funds have already been transferred over, but there seems to be no movement on your end?"

Qiao Yu suddenly remembered that he had signed an agreement with Zhang Yuanling’s team in Linhai earlier, and both parties were working together to promote research on affine type B Weyl groups.

But he hasn’t paid any attention to this project recently. It’s not that he forgot, but he’s waiting for Old Xue’s progress on introducing the framework of group theory.

The Weyl group stuff is originally part of the representation theory of Lie groups and Lie algebras, mainly involving infinite-dimensional structures.

So when Old Xue finishes this work, considering this problem will be more effective with less effort.

Thus, Qiao Yu calmly began to pass the buck.

"Isn’t this not urgent? Professor Xue’s work isn’t done yet. The fundamental theorem of group structure in the generalized modal space is still being derived. I’m also waiting for Professor Xue to quickly produce results."

"Oh, so as the project leader, you’ve assigned all the tasks out and went off to be a consultant for others? Qiao Yu, you’ve really grown, you can even take on jobs proactively now?"

Alright, it must be either Zhang Zuolin or Ma Botao saying something to Director Tian. Zhang Zuolin is more likely to blame.

Actually, he can understand. Even if Professor Zhang reports to Tian Yanzhen, he would likely say good things about him to express gratitude. But Director Tian’s concerns might be different from others’.

"Ah... Are you talking about my collaboration with the warm-responsive gel design? It’s like this, Director Tian, I’m mainly considering promoting the generalized modal axiomatic system to applications.

To be honest, while I’m supposedly consulting for them, I’m actually using their data to verify an idea of mine. Through the projection technology from high-dimensional modal spaces to low-dimensional modal spaces for intelligent data analysis.

And now it seems that my idea is effective! This indicates that the generalized modal axiomatic system can be directly promoted to the application level, used for theoretical modeling in major laboratories’ research.

Especially now that various advanced models are no longer licensed for our use, and many academic exchanges have been restricted, I really hope to make some humble contribution to the rise of Huaxia materials science!"

Qiao Yu’s serious speech left Tian Yanzhen stunned.

He opened his mouth but didn’t know how to respond. A sixteen-year-old starting to worry for the country and its people, he certainly couldn’t criticize that, right?

"Oh, I see. Well then, wait here for a moment, Professor Lu should be arriving soon. He specifically called me, saying he wants to consult you."

Eventually, Tian Yanzhen nodded and said.

"Huh? Professor Lu?" Qiao Yu asked in confusion.

He originally thought it was Professor Zhang Zuolin who told Tian Yanzhen about this, but unexpectedly it was Professor Lu.

"What happened? You became a consultant and helped Professor Zhang solve a major problem? Professor Lu said Zhang Zuolin called him last night, saying he..."

At this point, Tian Yanzhen’s face twitched slightly, probably wanting to laugh, but wanting to maintain his authority as a mentor, he refrained from laughing out loud in front of Qiao Yu.

After holding back for a moment, he continued, "Professor Zhang said Professor Lu’s skills were not as good as yours. Professor Lu was offended and went to the lab last night to argue with Zhang Zuolin.

As a result, the lab showed the plan you provided, saying you directly produced results using their existing data. You’ve become quite impressive; Professor Lu called me early this morning..."

Qiao Yu roughly understood what happened...

It can only be said that the professors’ spirits are truly remarkable. He still remembered that last night he finished signing the contract with Ma Botao, and it was already ten-thirty when he left—aren’t they supposed to be asleep by then?

In other words, after he left, Zhang Zuolin for some reason called Professor Lu again. Then the two probably argued about this issue over the phone.

Hmm, maybe they drank too much.

However, Qiao Yu remembered that Zhang Zuolin didn’t seem to drink much yesterday, he only had two bottles of beer, and he ate quite a bit, so it’s unlikely he was that drunk, right?

You know, Qiao Xi used to drink two bottles of beer like drinking water, wouldn’t even burp.

In short, it was once again proven that alcohol is harmful!

"So, what does Professor Lu want to learn about?" Qiao Yu asked cautiously.

Tian Yanzhen chuckled and teased, "It’s definitely about your analysis method. Didn’t you plan to contribute to the Huaxia materials science community? Professor Lu has profound expertise in functional analysis, numerical analysis, and optimization theory.

That’s why the chemical labs often sought his help in the past. A few years ago, his project for the Outstanding Young Scientists Fund was on the application of functional analysis in quantum chemistry. You can talk to Professor Lu and perhaps contribute together in the future."
