Chapter 368: Chapter 132 I want to thank everyone in my life who deserves thanks! _3

Especially with a recent trending topic, appearing alongside Tian Yanzhen and Yuan Zhengxin, many insiders in the mathematics community describe Qiao Yu as a key figure in the century’s major reconciliation in Huaxia’s mathematics circles.

Additionally, last year he was the champion of the CMO and received the only perfect score gold medal in the algebra and number theory track of Little Alibaba’s World Mathematics Competition!

Most crucially, based on the authors’ inquiries, the sudden rise in importance of Qiao Yu’s report this time is because he helped mathematicians solve a highly significant conjecture in the mathematics community, the Geometric Langlands Conjecture!

Thus, while the mathematicians preparing to participate in this conference at the hotel haven’t reacted much, the Huaxia journalists exploded in excitement!

After all, reporting on large international academic conferences like the World Algebraic Geometry Conference requires an invitation, or a media pass issued by the organizing committee, otherwise, they can’t enter the venue.

So theoretically, journalists wanting to attend must first submit an application to the organizing committee, and then undergo a review by the conference expert group.

The application materials should include an introduction of the representative media organization, as well as the journalist’s interview objectives and personal information.

The organizing committee of the conference must comprehensively consider the type of media organization and whether the interviewing journalist possesses a certain level of professionalism to determine if they can accurately report the conference content. This is quite important for the academic community.

The media loves to make unfounded claims, not just in Huaxia, but almost worldwide.

However, the rigorousness required by academics insists that if reporting on conference content, it must ensure that the information is conveyed to the public as accurately as possible.

For example, what if a professor’s presentation on stage clearly mentioned research progress on the distribution of zeroes in the Riemann Conjecture, and the media reported that Professor XXX claimed to have solved the Riemann Conjecture during a sixty-minute presentation at the World Mathematician Conference, receiving universal acclaim from mainstream mathematicians worldwide? This would make the whole conference rather embarrassing.

Especially in an era where people have habitually relied on search engines, and even artificial intelligence has begun to depend on searching online news content.

Such irresponsible reporting, if the headline is sensational enough, might have the entire internet buzzing within a few days about the Riemann Conjecture allegedly solved by humans. Even the mathematician giving the report might be dumbfounded, receiving many congratulatory messages from non-experts...

Just thinking about it tells you how awkward this could be.

This sudden adjustment left many Huaxia media reporters, who previously hadn’t planned to attend in person, in a rush.

Especially Zhang Nuoke.

As the resident journalist for Huaxia News Agency in Paris, he had previously been assigned to report on this conference.

However, for certain reasons, Zhang Nuoke was genuinely tired of reporting on stories that hype up some mathematical prodigy from Huaxia.

Furthermore, since he frequently reports on scientific topics, he understands the operational rules of the academic circle better than most journalists.

While for a sixteen-year-old boy, being invited to give a thirty-minute parallel session report at a world-class mathematics conference is indeed a meaningful event.

But precisely because of the good relationship between Qiao Yu, Tian Yanzhen, and Yuan Zhengxin, Zhang Nuoke believed there wasn’t much to report on this occasion.

The reason is simple, with Tian Yanzhen and Yuan Zhengxin operating behind the scenes, it’s not impossible to receive an invitation from the organizing committee in the field of algebraic geometry for a parallel session.

The term "academic resources" has never been just about research funding; it permeates all aspects of academic research. A mentor’s network directly affects whether one can participate in some large academic conferences, win a certain award, secure some investments, or establish collaborations with large enterprises...

There’s no doubt that in Huaxia’s mathematics circles, Tian Yanzhen and Yuan Zhengxin command a plethora of academic resources, sufficient to push a sixteen-year-old to deliver a thirty-minute report at a parallel session without it being unusual.

However, when Zhang Nuoke learned that Qiao Yu’s report had escalated to the opening report of this conference, he immediately realized things weren’t that simple. After all, this had already surpassed the capabilities of Tian Yanzhen and Yuan Zhengxin, even exceeding those of any mathematics authority in the current world.

After all, the world of mathematics is incredibly complex and varied, with no single entity capable of having absolute sway.

A sixteen-year-old wanting to give the opening report, especially with the committee temporarily changing the agenda for him, would be impossible unless his research truly had substance.

Even if the president of the World Alliance made such a baseless request, he would likely be criticized by a group of mathematicians into depression.

Zhang Nuoke never doubts the ability of these mathematicians to insult others.

Because he has truly experienced it.

It was back when he had just become an on-the-job reporter; after offending a mathematician, the mathematician perfectly demonstrated through strict logic and clean language, with a leisurely tone, that he was a dunce, utterly clueless.

During his school years, as a member of the school debate team, Zhang Nuoke couldn’t find logical loopholes in his opponent’s argument to rebut it and was momentarily struck speechless. The opponent even offered him a disdainful glance as a parting gift.

It was from then on that he began to earnestly supplement his professional knowledge, eventually becoming an overseas resident journalist.

In short, after confirming this news, Zhang Nuoke quickly took action.
