Chapter 358: Chapter 130: The Agenda that the Big Shot Thinks Needs to be Temporarily Changed_6

Just as Tian Yanzhen considered, no matter what, Qiao Yu was just a sixteen-year-old child. He truly had no ill intentions, merely wanting to show off his abilities in front of his mom, and casually tell Qiao Xi that he had grown up, that he not only had the ability to protect his mom, but could also stand up for her.

For men, during the growth process, there is always this stage where they are eager to prove they are no longer clueless children. The truth is, very few succeed, and some kids might do something foolish during this process, making them feel embarrassed when reflecting on it in the future.

But Qiao Yu clearly wasn’t in this category.

After all, he took every step steadily and garnered the support of everyone around him.

The only unintended victim here was probably Professor Sam.

But then again, being able to work with someone like Frank, who is both cunning and hypocritical, for such a long time, perhaps he wasn’t a good person either. Moreover, this professor wasn’t young, and didn’t have much future in the field of mathematics...

Overall, Qiao Yu felt very at ease.

Especially after confessing to his mentor, he felt even more relieved. After packing his luggage, he happily took out a book to read.

Going to a conference, he didn’t forget to read and study. His mentor and Elder Yuan would definitely praise him.

...

Following the established plan, after lunch, at three in the afternoon, Qiao Yu sent the complete proof, which had been prepared long ago, to his mentor and Elder Yuan via email.

Then he sent an email to both Pan Jingyuan and Danis, roughly describing how he had a sudden flash of inspiration, and came up with a complete solution.

Whether they believed it or not was none of Qiao Yu’s business. Just as he told Tian Yanzhen, although his intentions were not entirely pure, it was indeed for the good of these two professors. Theoretically speaking, after he presented it at the conference, this proposition had nothing to do with Sam and Frank.

The most interesting part of the whole thing was that solving the Geometric Langlands Conjecture was initially not a single paper by this team, but five.

In other words, they just needed to withdraw the paper to which Sam and Frank made major contributions, and slightly modify another two papers. Qiao Yu could then write this part into a paper and add it, and that would suffice.

So there was no need for Danis’ invitation; he had to become a member of the team anyway. Because for the promotion of the Geometric Langlands Conjecture, he made an extremely important contribution, directly replacing the two elders in the team.

Things developed just as he expected.

By the time Danis noticed Qiao Yu’s email, it was already evening.

When he wanted to contact Qiao Yu, he was stopped by Tian Yanzhen.

"I’m sorry, Professor Danis, Qiao Yu has already gone to sleep. You know, he flew for over ten hours yesterday, came to the hotel to discuss with you, and then went back to his room to keep thinking about the problem. He was already very tired. Besides, Qiao Yu is only sixteen. You can’t possibly wake him up now, can you?"

When Tian Yanzhen politely but firmly said this, although Danis was anxious, he really couldn’t say anything more.

He had slept until the afternoon and only felt refreshed after resting for a bit. But if, as Qiao Yu said in the email, he had flown for over ten hours, not only being stopped to give the solution but also constantly thinking about how to resolve the issue afterward...

Mental labor is not as easy as many people think.

The fatigue from overworking the brain is even harder to recover from than physical exhaustion.

Thus, Danis could only sigh and say: "Okay, I certainly understand. Damn it, I probably won’t be able to sleep again tonight. By the way, Professor Tian, did Qiao Yu tell you his thoughts?"

"Yes, he talked to me a bit before going to bed. In fact, Pierre Deligne’s geometric homology theory and the geometric Langlands framework from Beringson and Delin Feld inspired him," Tian Yanzhen casually replied.

"Then what time does he usually get up?" Danis asked again. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

Tian Yanzhen seriously replied: "In fact, this is what I thought. Considering that Qiao Yu might have independently solved this problem, I have already contacted the review committee of the organizing committee. Plus, it was agreed with Schultz before, he will probably arrive in Paris around nine tomorrow morning.

So, we have already confirmed with the review committee that at ten in the morning, Professor Benuva Boss, Professor Pierre Delini, Professor Beringson, and Professor Schulz of the organizing committee will come to listen to Qiao Yu’s explanation of his idea. Of course, you will also be invited to participate in this small-scale discussion.

If everyone acknowledges the value of Qiao Yu’s research results, then his presentation might temporarily report this research to everyone. Professor Danis, this is already the most perfect arrangement. I hope you understand."

Danis nodded thoughtfully.

In fact, after having sufficient rest, the brain of this mathematics professor was at least no longer confused.

"This really is a very perfect arrangement. In fact, I think I should thank you for this arrangement. But forgive me for asking, is this Qiao Yu’s idea or yours, Professor Tian?"

Tian Yanzhen smiled and asked: "What difference does it make?"

Danis smiled wryly: "I always feel there are a lot of coincidences... Qiao Yu seems to be too... oh, forget it, maybe I’m overthinking it. Okay, Professor Tian, I’ll wait for your notification."

Tian Yanzhen nodded, unwilling to delve into what Danis left unsaid.

The next day, at ten o’clock in the morning, a small seminar was held in the conference room of the Royal Monet Hotel.

Although it was said to be a small seminar, the specifications were not really small. After all, two Fields Medalists were participating. Peter Schultz and Pierre Delini, the former known for contributions to the Langlands Conjecture, the latter famous for proving the Weil Conjecture.

Of course, besides the attendees, probably no one expected the protagonist of this small seminar to be a sixteen-year-old boy.

The meeting lasted for two and a half hours.

The professors who attended the meeting even postponed their lunch for it.

And at the end of the seminar, after several heavyweight attendees exchanged opinions, one of the conveners of the conference, also the vice-chairman of the organizing committee, Pierre Delini, said with a wry smile: "Damn it, Qiao Yu, the first time we meet, and you give me a tough problem.

And it’s a rarely encountered tough problem—we might need to temporarily change the conference arrangements. Do you know how troublesome it is to change the keynote speaker for the opening ceremony at the last minute?"

Having said that, Pierre Delini shifted his gaze from Qiao Yu to Danis, who sat opposite him. Unfortunately, the professor was still obviously immersed in Qiao Yu’s proof process and did not notice his gaze.

It was Peter Schultz, sitting next to him, who said in a relaxed tone: "Actually, it’s not that troublesome. How about this, I’ll go and talk to Shigeru Mukai, although his research progress on K3 surfaces is indeed worth sharing, its importance clearly cannot be compared with the promotion of the Geometric Langlands Conjecture."

Pierre Delini nodded and once again looked at Danis opposite: "So, Professor Danis, what is your opinion?"

"Oh, of course, whew... clearly, I couldn’t possibly have any objections! In fact, I think we should also hold a special presentation, evidently we need to integrate these contents, to be used for the revision of the Ambidexterity theorem! Don’t you think, Qiao Yu?"

Still standing at the front of the meeting room, Qiao Yu seemed puzzled, first glancing at Tian Yanzhen, who was smiling, then scanning the professors with varying expressions, and said uncertainly: "Um... you mean, I should do the opening report?"

"Yes, the good news is, you still have a day to prepare! Also, to my memory, you are the first mathematician under the age of twenty in the history of algebra geometry conferences to give a report!" Pierre Delini nodded and then said with certainty.

As if he could make the decision...

Well, he could indeed make this decision.
