Chapter 1102: Chapter 432: This is a Qiao Ze Award-level discovery

The United States, MIT.

Critiel Matich could clearly feel the changes in his prized student after returning from Huaxia, such as becoming more proactive in both academic and personal life.

This was a good thing. The only problem was, this kid was coming to his office less and less frequently.

It seemed he now preferred to conduct some all-over-the-place research on his own.

Yes, he, a dignified Nobel laureate and a doctoral advisor, surprisingly wasn’t very clear about what his student was researching.

Well, it’s all because of that damned Xilin Academic Society.

In Critiel Matich’s understanding, this Xilin Academic Society was probably a loose academic organization that implemented a certain level of resource sharing within its organizational structure. The greater advantage was allowing those within the society an additional channel for acquiring academic resources.

As long as the research direction was a branch of Q Theory, one could apply to the society, and upon approval, receive corresponding research funding.

Additionally, any achievements, as long as they were first announced and shared within the society, could receive academic contribution points after evaluation, and these points could be exchanged for a series of rewards, with a rich reward pool. f|re(e)web.n\ovel. (c)o.m

Points could even be used for a lottery, which also added to the mundane mental lives of mathematicians and physicists.

Of course, the most important thing was that joining the Xilin Academic Society was tantamount to having a ticket to the Xilin Institute of Mathematics.

Once the original points reached one hundred, if one submitted an application to the Xilin Institute of Mathematics, they were guaranteed to become a researcher there. If they reached one thousand and applied, they could even secure a lifetime tenure contract.

The premise was a willingness to live in Xilin.

For many scholars from abroad, making this decision might be difficult, but it wasn’t actually so hard.

They experienced three days of life in Xilin, and even from the most critical perspective, it was difficult to find any shortcomings.

The safe environment where lost items were no concern, the city full of 24-hour unmanned supermarkets, the smartly managed parking spaces everywhere, ultra-fast logistics and delivery, and even the lack of a language barrier due to ubiquitous smart devices that were enough to help them communicate unimpeded in daily life.

As he was leaving, he also heard that, given Xilin’s problem of being too hot in the summer and too cold in the winter, they had already begun to consider using intelligent transformation to alter the city’s internal environment. He wasn’t sure exactly how, but it was said to fully utilize the abundant rivers and groundwater resources for heat exchange. free.webno(v)e\l.(c)om

At the same time, through more technological means, they aimed to enhance natural water storage to cope with potential extreme droughts and extreme climate conditions.

To be honest, even Critiel Matich felt a bit tempted, so he could understand those young people, especially since Ham Taylor inherently liked lively places. He still remembered that night when they were taken to a place called the "City that Never Sleeps," and his young student was directly shocked.

It was hard to imagine such a lively place existed in the night city.

It was an ocean of lights. Seeing such a sight for the first time made him think of the vast Milky Way. The roadsides were lined with things Huaxian people call lanterns, extending all the way to the end. But the most incredible thing was not the buildings and lights, but the people!

No one worried about safety; they arrived at six, played until one in the morning, and even when leaving, it could still be described as a sea of people.

He wondered if Xilin people didn’t need to work or sleep, when an exhilarated Ham Taylor shouted at him: "Professor, this is literally the paradise of my dreams!"

The most infuriating part was that when his student yelled this, he actually didn’t know how to refute it.

Although Las Vegas nights were also beautiful, honestly, at that time, he wouldn’t dare to walk around outside casually like in Huaxia, without needing to have any defensive mindset.

He had once felt uneasy about the numerous smart cameras scattered throughout Xilin streets, but that night shook his resolve. Although he surrendered some rights and often appeared in view of the cameras, he gained the freedom to be anywhere in the city anytime without overly worrying about safety issues.

Especially when he received a personalized travel souvenir video from the organizing committee upon departure. He even felt that the pervasive camera equipment didn’t harm him at all since he didn’t intend to do anything illegal.

On the contrary, those who fear outdoor cameras the most probably are those with something to hide, right?

Really, for a moment, he even wanted to join the Xilin Academic Society to gamble on a different kind of future. Thankfully, the thought of Edward Witten’s face prevented him from impulsively making a decision.

After all, he genuinely thought before that Edward Witten, a scholar who wasted all his talent on theoretical verification that was impossible at the time, belonged to the kind of high-IQ talent who would lose everything by gaining just one thing, and he disdained to mingle with him.

Unfortunately, young people couldn’t resist such temptation and were led astray.

Sitting in the office thinking it over, Critiel Matich still felt that things couldn’t go on like this.

So he picked up the phone, intending to call Ham Taylor to the office to reorient him and get his research back on track.

But after thinking about it, he decided to make a surprise visit. At least first find out what Ham Taylor has been busy with these days. So the number was directly dialed to Ham Taylor’s roommate, who was also his student: "John, do you know where Ham is now?"
