Chapter 291: Chapter 119 Congratulations, You’ve Already Seen Some Wonderful Scenery_3

“Yes, Professor Everton.” Qiao Yu, who had just stepped down from the podium, turned around and replied.

“Sixteen?” Everton asked again.

Qiao Yu nodded.

Professor Everton pursed his lips, glanced in Yuan Zhengxin’s direction, then gave a thumbs-up and said, “You’re amazing!”

Watching Qiao Yu return to his seat, he glanced at his own PPT and continued, “Well, let’s continue… never mind, let’s first roughly calculate the counterexample brought up by this grandson of Professor Yuan, Qiao Yu…”

Saying this, Everton simply turned around, picked up the chalk, and began some simple deductions on the blackboard.

A moment later, Everton suddenly turned around and asked, “Qiao Yu, this is a type of singular point you first defined, maybe you should give it a name, otherwise I won’t know how to refer to it.”

“Uh…” Clearly, Qiao Yu hadn’t thought about this issue at all, and was stunned.

“Alright, it seems you haven’t thought of it yet, so let’s just call it the JOE point for now.” Everton shrugged, then turned back and continued deducing on the blackboard.

Qiao Yu took a deep breath, not watching the old professor’s deductions, as he had already calculated it in his mind, it should be fine. So he just secretly glanced at Professor Pan Jingyuan next to him.

To be honest, the most regrettable thing about doing this was to Professor Pan.

He had patiently guided him for so long, and Qiao Yu turned around and proved there was a flaw in the paper they’d spent years researching, it was somewhat embarrassing.

Who knew as he secretly looked over, Professor Pan was openly looking at him, their eyes meeting, making Qiao Yu feel even more awkward.

Awkwardly chuckling, he whispered, “Well, Professor Pan, don’t be too upset, it was just a random thought, not necessarily correct.”

“Hmm…” Pan Jingyuan responded, the tone was soft, and Qiao Yu couldn’t figure out what it meant, but his posture and expression became innocently compliant, showing no hint of arrogance.

As the saying goes, the armor mentors put on him increases his magical defense, but can’t protect against physical attacks. Brother Pan was right next to him; in this situation, he had to behave.

It’s a well-known fact that when humble people get angry, it’s terrifying.

…

Professor Everton silently stood on the podium calculating, time already exceeding the scheduled duration, and gradually, some people below possibly realized something, stood up and went to the podium to discuss with Professor Everton, adding more content to the blackboard in different handwriting.

With the first, there was a second…

Soon, the podium was surrounded, even Pan Jingyuan beside him went up to the podium.

Qiao Yu was dumbfounded…

What’s going on, is the lecture over or not? Can he leave?

So Qiao Yu looked towards Elder Yuan on the other side.

The old man was smilingly watching everyone’s discussion on the podium, then seemingly sensing something, turned to look at Qiao Yu, who was jittery. Probably guessing Qiao Yu’s thoughts, he slightly waved to Qiao Yu.

Whether Qiao Yu’s sudden idea was right or not was no longer important.

The fact that it had caught the attention of these field experts, prompting discussion, already showed a lot.

Especially that JOE point.

When Professor Everton asked the question publicly, Qiao Yu had already achieved great success today.

The old man was very happy, even happier than producing his own results.

Qiao Yu quickly scurried over.

“Did you really just think of it suddenly?” the old man asked.

Qiao Yu nodded repeatedly, his innocent expression like a child.

“Really! Grandmaster, I just thought of it suddenly.”

Elder Yuan laughed and said, “Alright then, go back and think about the complete proof process, and best to organize it quickly. Don’t let the inspiration go to waste. We’ll pick a day for you to give a main lecture, we’ll set the stage for you, speak boldly, don’t be afraid.”

Qiao Yu immediately nodded.

He wasn’t afraid to begin with, and now with Elder Yuan’s words, he felt even more liberated.

“And regardless of whether your idea is right or wrong, set a time to treat Professor Pan to a meal. I’ll help you arrange it, to thank Professor Pan.”

“No problem, Grandmaster, I’ll head back then.” Qiao Yu nodded repeatedly, then quietly slipped away.

The elderly was right, the subsequent proof still needed his personal touch.

Now being called up by those professors, Qiao Yu had nothing more to say. Just as he had just stated, now he had only constructed a counterexample; the specific proof process needed careful thought, and as always, a mathematical proof had to be free of logical flaws.

…

Qiao Yu left, but the discussion or even debate on the podium continued.

Some professors who didn’t go up to the podium for discussion watched as Qiao Yu sneaked over to Elder Yuan, exchanged a few words softly, and then the kid hunkered down and quietly slipped away, probably feeling envious.

Other professors were using their phones and various chat tools to discuss the counterexample Qiao Yu had just designed in another way.

In short, the conference room was a chaotic mess at this point.

Especially the podium, the sound grew louder and louder.

Besides the two equations Qiao Yu left on the blackboard, the deduction process beside them was repeatedly erased and rewritten, having gone through several rounds.

Below, Elder Yuan sat there with a smile, quietly watching, and who knows what he was thinking, seemingly reminiscing about the good times of the past.
