Chapter 10: 10 The Boss Gets Serious

Li Jiangao had guessed right; even though the academic conference was to start the next day, and Zhang Chunlei was the special guest speaker, scheduled to take the stage.

He was pulled away after dinner anyway.

Thinking back to a scene at dinner, Li Jiangao wanted to laugh.

A group of professors had let down their guard, taking the initiative to introduce themselves to Qiao Ze.

Of course, Qiao Ze's performance indeed warranted the professors' metaphorical bowing.

Li Jiangao didn't feel any urgency about his prized pupil possibly being poached—in fact, he felt quite the opposite: relieved and relaxed.

With so many people seeing Qiao Ze's shining side, even if there were issues with the school, the kid was guaranteed a spot at a key university, maybe even one better than Xilin University of Technology. In this way, he also fulfilled Qiao Ze's mother's trust in him.

By then, Qiao Ze had already been sent back to his room to go online.

As for what the kid would do on the internet, no one was really worried.

When left to his own devices, this kid had almost completed all the mandatory mathematics courses from university to graduate level, so it was unlikely he'd be browsing anything inappropriate now.

Of course, even if he did, it wasn't a big deal.

Everyone had been through that age.

Since he had almost learned everything he should (and shouldn't), it wouldn't hurt to relax a bit.

...

In the hotel, the 1107 room where Zhang Chunlei stayed was a small one bedroom, one living room suite.

At this time, everyone was gathered in the little living room, preparing to cross-examine Li Jiangao.

"Let's hear it, Li, where exactly did you dig this kid out from?" Zhang Chunlei asked first.

Zhang Chunlei began to operate on the computer, attracting several heads to lean over.

Meanwhile, Professor Liu took out his phone, seemingly to confirm the situation with Lemma 3 of the paper, while Li Jiangao sat there steadily, sipping tea.

Watching these people act as if they had never seen the world, he found it quite amusing.

Suddenly, Li Jiangao felt he could understand the frustration Qiao Ze had when communicating with ordinary people; it seemed he couldn't blame the child for thinking everyone else was an idiot.

After all, once the intellectual gap between people truly widened to the distance between the intelligence of an ordinary person and that of a dog, that feeling...

Li Jiangao unconsciously shook his head slightly, casting aside these uncomfortable thoughts from his mind.

Qiao Ze was after all developing in a positive direction, and such thoughts about an innocent child should not be entertained.

But could it be true?

Twenty minutes passed, and while Li Jiangao was immersed in this mysterious feeling, most of the professors who had been crowded around reading the paper had lifted their heads, looking at each other in disbelief, until finally Zhang Chunlei lifted his head, surprised, "How could that child have figured out that the equation has a unique solution in four-dimensional space in just about ten minutes?"

Li Jiangao shook his head, responding, "Probably less than ten minutes, more like five or six minutes at most. According to his explanation, he estimated it. Qiao Ze said he just imagined the three-dimensional projection coordinate system of the four-dimensional structure, and then by substituting the coordinates of those points, he could directly make the estimate."

"This..."

"That's impossible, right?"

"No, Professor Li, I feel that's a bit far-fetched... He could just imagine it and then estimate it? Did you verify it?"

"This happened this morning; when would I have had the time to verify it?"

"Enough talking, let's do this: we'll divide the work up. Liu, Li, you two have already looked over the paper, so handle the diagrams; Professors Qian and Xu, you're responsible for recording and writing the algorithm; Professor Chen and I will study the equation set first to identify any gaps, and then we'll move on to verify it on the supercomputer as soon as possible.

None of you will sleep until we get results today, will you?!"

Obviously, the bigwig was getting serious!
