Capítulo 751: Chapter 244: Got to Do Something First_2

It could help his project team quickly iterate early on. Bonn University just happens to have done a lot of work in this area, which can help them quickly overcome the project’s lack of a rich early-stage database.

Although domestic universities and the Huaxia Science Academy also have related research, for Qiao Yu, accessing those local datasets is straightforward.

He has quite good relationships in the domestic scientific community. Especially close with those managing various natural science funds—at least he considers them close.

Moreover, most of the related research in the country is funded by various science funds, and since he’s now working on a national key project, he can easily find someone to help coordinate when he wants to access domestic data.

For instance, Zheng Xiweng, who has been by his side all along.

Resources from abroad, however, are a bit more troublesome to obtain.

But Qiao Yu always felt that as long as you broadened your perspective, these things wouldn’t be a problem. After all, he has quite a few friends internationally now, and they all have significant influence in academia.

And just as he imagined, after listening to Qiao Yu’s idea, Peter Schultz agreed without much hesitation.

He even let out a sigh of relief.

After all, Peter Schultz was currently still collaborating with Microsoft. It obviously wasn’t a good idea to directly oppose Microsoft at this time.

At his age, he couldn’t be as reckless as Qiao Yu, seeking revenge or satisfaction. After all, he represented not just himself, but a team of many people.

“Rest assured, as a friend, I can certainly lend a hand. I happen to be quite familiar with many professors at the Physics Faculty. I’ll head over this afternoon and ask about their intentions for you.”

“Thank you, Peter, I knew you would be a good friend!”

“Actually, you don’t need to thank me.”

Peter Schultz sincerely said, “As far as I know, all the professors at Bonn University conducting research in quantum physics are very interested in your Qiao Yu Modal Space. I think they’ll be very happy to have this opportunity to collaborate with you.”

Saying this, Peter Schultz couldn’t help but laugh: “You know, maybe I’ll receive a heap of thanks from them this afternoon. So, you don’t need to thank me.”

“Oh, really? Then you must help me thank them. Do you know why I first thought of collaborating with you and Bonn University?

Aside from knowing you’re my best friend, it’s also because throughout Europe, only your German bones remain hard. As for the institutions of other countries…

Haha, I’m genuinely afraid that upon hearing we’re opposing a major American company like Microsoft, they’ll go weak in the knees and collapse to the ground!

Don’t think I’m just spouting nonsense! You can inquire; I scored full marks in my middle school history exam. Do you know why? Because I had thoroughly studied world history in junior high school already!”

Though Qiao Yu exaggerated a little, Peter Schultz knew he was likely being exaggeratedly praised, yet somehow, those words made him stand a bit taller with pride.

Compared to the earlier conversation, Qiao Yu’s words really made him feel comfortable.

National pride might sound abstract, but in reality, in any country with a long enough history, where ancestors once thrived and where the present isn’t too shabby, this pride is somewhat ingrained in people’s veins.

Germany happened to tick all those boxes.

Once a part of the Roman Empire, it had been the German Empire and the Third Empire, and since unification, it’s been the industrial center of all Europe.

Though it’s indeed fallen on hard times now, in Europe, it still holds a leading position.

So, Peter Schultz still holds onto this sense of pride in his heart.

Especially since this recognition rises beyond personal friendship and into an appreciation of the entire nation and race, sparking a sliver of antagonism towards Microsoft deep down.

Of course, given Peter Schultz’s position, not just anyone could say such things in front of him and evoke these feelings.

But that person was Qiao Yu.

Not only is he the most renowned young mathematician of the day, but he’s also a genius that Peter Schultz genuinely recognizes.

To have such a person speak these words with assurance, indeed, felt good.

“No need to explain so much, Qiao Yu, I’ve always believed in you. As you said, we’re friends. Since you know Germany so well, you should know our culture is different from Italy’s; friends can trust one another.”

“Haha, then it’s settled! With your help, I feel even more confident now! As good friends, I won’t stand on ceremony with you! Next time you come to Huaxia, I’ll treat you to a meal.”

“Sure!”

…

After hanging up the phone, Peter Schultz felt his emotions couldn’t settle. A sense of mission arose spontaneously within him.

From any angle, even considering the grand national cause, he should stand alongside Qiao Yu this time.

He let out a breath, picked up the phone again intending to dial, then suddenly put the phone back, deciding to personally make the visit to show enough seriousness.

…

In Huaxia, at Yanbei University, after hanging up the phone, Qiao Yu sat in front of the computer.

What he told Peter Schultz about feeling powerless might be half true.

After all, lately, he really had been a bit slack. Naturally, Qiao Yu thought this was normal; it’s not like he could operate like a robot.

Even Elder Yuan, his strict mentor, had told him that doing research requires balance; you can’t keep your mind too tightly wound.

Nevertheless, in his earlier consideration of the Qiao Yu Modal Space, he still did a lot of work.

After all, when he created the Qiao Yu Modal Space, it was to replace the Hilbert Space and required considerations on how it could better describe complex quantum systems, especially multi-body quantum systems and unconventional quantum states.

To solve these problems, more efficient mathematical tools were necessary. He did optimize the algorithm a bit in this regard, which is why he could use the small room at Xi Yu Technology to calculate Mersenne Primes.

As for the larger-scale optimization work, he planned to have the project team cooperate to complete it after they got more accustomed to each other.

After all, his current method, to put it plainly, still used the time evolution of wave functions for simulation calculations. This would inevitably cause interference in computations.

Further optimization is, of course, possible. One could directly use more efficient elements to replace wave functions in handling complex arithmetic problems and quantum field interactions.

These are obviously the advantages of the Generalized Modal Axiomatic System. Simpler mathematical operations can significantly reduce the number of states and complexity involved in quantum simulation calculations.

But now that someone wants to challenge his authority, Qiao Yu feels he can’t slack off.

It’s impossible to come up with more advanced algorithms in a short period, but he could come up with something to scare the opposition.

Qiao Yu was thinking about cryptocurrency.

While his current ability couldn’t perfectly run Grover’s algorithm and Shor’s algorithm and couldn’t fundamentally disrupt cryptocurrency systems, he could think of ways to deal with the smart contracts used by these cryptocurrency exchanges.

After all, the mainstream cryptocurrency exchanges still use traditional encryption technologies to ensure signature security.

Although he couldn’t directly interfere with the operation of cryptocurrency, the security of the blockchain itself, as long as he could control the encryption system, he could modify contract content and control the execution of smart contracts.

The only issue is that even if this is the weakest point to challenge in cryptocurrency transactions, accomplishing it wouldn’t be possible with Xi Yu Technology’s small room.

However, this matter can’t be done secretly; otherwise, it would touch the legal knowledge he studied in criminal law.

Therefore, Qiao Yu thought of Zheng Xiweng again.

When in trouble, find Uncle Zheng, has become a habitual thought for Qiao Yu…
