Chapter 292: Chapter 119 Congratulations, You Have Seen Some Beautiful Scenery_4

Pan Jingyuan also stood on the podium, silently watching. He stepped up because too many people’s figures were blocking the blackboard. Occasionally, someone would whisper a few words to him, but he just shook his head slightly, without responding.

Actually, if one were to speak truthfully, he was probably the most capable of following Qiao Yu’s train of thought at the scene. After all, Qiao Yu had been discussing a series of issues with him all along, but at this moment, he really didn’t want to say anything.

It’s not just that six years of effort were found to have a loophole by a sixteen-year-old boy, which felt bitter, but more crucially, this boy managed to do it in just about a month!

This suddenly made him feel that all the work he had done before lost its sense of achievement.

Oh, my heart is tired!

…

Qiao Yu, having walked out of the conference room, did not bother to consider the feelings of the professors still inside. His mind was still bustling; on one hand, he had to think about how to complete the proof comprehensively; on the other hand, he needed to figure out ways to solve the problems he proposed.

For such problems, once a counterexample is found, Qiao Yu believed that many counterexamples could be found, leading the theorem to fail. For instance, after opening up his thinking, similar singular points could produce infinity-level high-order perturbations in the structure of the local coordinate ring in conventional decomposition.

Then the p-adic modules or Spine Structures at these singular points exhibit fractal characteristics, making it impossible to describe their complexity through finitely generated local modules. Therefore, the derived functor cannot possibly satisfy consistency in the homology category.

Without equivalence, the theorem cannot hold.

Of course, one can continue to restrict conditions and throw out such counterexamples. But once done, the impact of the so-called proof of the Geometric Langlands Conjecture would be greatly reduced. After all, the theorem cannot fully hold in a smooth geometric context, and its application would naturally be greatly limited.

However, patching this loophole is much more difficult than finding it.

This is actually the same as in reality; destruction is always easier than construction.

Qiao Yu temporarily didn’t know what to do either, but he could organize some thoughts.

If he could find a way, he could release it at the appropriate time.

In any case, asking oneself questions and then providing answers is a form of learning.

Of course, at this moment, Qiao Yu was still quite excited.

In this game of peak duel, he has already won half a match. Next, the problem was thrown to the team proving the Geometric Langlands Conjecture. Once he publishes the complete process of the proof, it’ll be up to them to see if they can solve the issue within their expected timeframe.

What a shame, in reality, this kind of game can only be turn-based, not as exciting as FPS or MOBA games.

But it doesn’t really matter.

Excitedly returning to his room, Qiao Yu stretched and was just about to turn on his computer when there was a knock on the door.

Qiao Yu got up, opened the door, and Senior Brother Chen was standing outside.

That was fine, but Qiao Yu could see that Senior Brother was looking at him with a strange gaze and wasn’t saying anything, just staring at him squarely, which was even stranger.

Qiao Yu instinctively touched his face, smooth and tender. Although he did use facial cleanser today, it shouldn’t have been enough to shock Senior Brother, right?

“Uh, Senior Brother Chen, there’s nothing on my face, right?” Qiao Yu asked.

Chen Zhuoyang shook his head and said, “No, Junior Brother, you made a big splash again today!”

That tone was filled with unabashed admiration.

Qiao Yu immediately retorted, “No, Senior Brother. Although we have a good relationship, if you slander me, I will still sue you for defamation. How could someone as humble as me possibly make a splash? You can ask the IMO training team, who doesn’t know that I’m the most low-key Qiao Yu!”

Chen Zhuoyang looked at Qiao Yu, enviously saying, “Stop pretending. Just now, I was discussing graduation defense matters with our boss when Professor Tan from the research center sent a video over. It was you on stage explaining to a room full of professors.

The boss enjoyed it thoroughly, and after watching, the way he looked at me changed completely. But that’s not what bothers me the most; the boss even sent me the video of you making a splash! He told me to look at how you did it! By the way, Junior Brother, wasn’t today supposed to be someone else’s presentation?”

A statement filled with resentment.

Indeed, people are most afraid of comparisons.

Qiao Yu could imagine that scene, where a student originally respected the teacher as a guest, discussing graduation matters face to face.

One must know that for students like Tian Yanzhen, such an opportunity is incredibly rare.

It was probably due to Chen Zhuoyang staying at the research center to handle some trivial matters, coupled with Qiao Yu speaking on his behalf, that he got the opportunity.

Switching to big-shot students with average talent, such things are probably settled with a few lines over WeChat.

It was supposed to be a beautiful memory in life, but it was rewritten by a video, indeed a rather frustrating matter.

However, Qiao Yu felt this had nothing to do with him. Senior Brother Chen should blame Professor Tan for sending the video…

But seeing Chen Zhuoyang looking so downcast, Qiao Yu couldn’t bring himself to say those kinds of shirking words and, after thinking for a while, straightforwardly encouraged, “Senior Brother, don’t you think that compared to me, you’re just lacking a bit of confidence?”

Chen Zhuoyang muttered, “Just lacking a bit of confidence?”

Qiao Yu declared firmly, “Definitely! You didn’t attend today’s lecture. If you did, you would have thoughts too, and once you have thoughts, you should speak out loud. So really, all you’re missing is just confidence. I don’t have much else, just confidence.
