CHAPTER 427: CHAPTER 143 IF YOU CAN ACCOMPLISH IT, YOUR CONTRIBUTION WILL BE GREATER THAN NEWTON!_3

Qiao Yu possesses this capability and is even more hopeful to resolve a series of prime number issues that are of significant concern to the mathematics community, so this doesn’t even count as favoritism.

At most, it is just a bit of bias.

"Thank you, Professor Zhang. However, you gave me a lot of inspiration yesterday, and after returning home, I did some small work based on some of your ideas.

How about you take a look at the ideas I summarized last night today, and then give me some feedback, pointing out any immature areas you find?"

Qiao Yu said politely.

Professor Zhang Yuantang was startled, as the question Qiao Yu asked yesterday about constructing a Modal Space had occupied his thoughts all night.

He even viewed two research papers after dinner with Tian Yanzhen, intending to offer Qiao Yu some suggestions based on his years of research on prime numbers.

But it turns out this kid is not following the conventional path...

"Oh? Then let me have a look first." Zhang Yuantang nodded.

Qiao Yu immediately opened his bag, took out a thick stack of manuscripts, and divided it into two portions.

He handed one to Professor Zhang Yuantang and the other to Director Tian.

At this moment, Old Xue’s foresight became evident.

He had said that having a printer in the study would be much more convenient, and it turned out Old Xue was right.

Printing two copies allowed Director Tian not to feel bored while Professor Zhang was reviewing his manuscript. Qiao Yu had always been meticulous in this regard.

Professor Zhang Yuantang took the manuscript handed to him by Qiao Yu and instinctively read the title out loud: "Axiomatic System of General Modal Number Theory on Multitranscendental Spaces?"

"Yes, it’s actually about the Modal Space we hadn’t finished discussing last night. But after going back, I felt that using Modal Space to describe it wasn’t quite accurate.

Because this system involves not just Modal Spaces, but also Modal Numbers and Modal Mappings etc., and it’s the interaction of these concepts that constructs this system."

Qiao Yu nodded in agreement.

Zhang Yuantang and Tian Yanzhen exchanged a look and then both focused their attention on Qiao Yu’s manuscript.

After a brief browse through the introduction provided by Qiao Yu, they focused on the arguments that followed.

The first sentence threw Zhang Yuantang into a bit of a daze.

Good heavens, it starts with defining a brand new mathematical structure called Multitranscendental Spaces, or MTS(λ,Ω).

Where λ represents dimensions and Ω represents all possible sets of infinite boundaries.

Zhang Yuantang frowned, instinctively raised his head to look at Qiao Yu, only to find that the young man had already moved over to the bookshelf behind Tian Yanzhen’s desk.

Was he planning to pick a book to read while they reviewed the construction?

Alright, this could probably be considered studious, too?

Zhang Yuantang returned his gaze and fully devoted his attention to the framework provided by Qiao Yu.

Building an axiomatic framework in one night? To be honest, Zhang Yuantang wasn’t optimistic.

He even wondered if Qiao Yu was getting carried away. Mathematicians do have a significant degree of freedom, but this freedom is built upon a strict process of logical reasoning.

A complete axiomatic system must be logically rigorous, applicable, and stable.

Rigorous logic ensures consistency and credibility within mathematics; applicability concerns the practical value of the system; stability means that contradictions do not arise during expansion.

Logical rigor is a necessity, and a balance between applicability and stability must be maintained.

In conclusion, constructing a completely new axiomatic system is an exceptionally challenging task.

To come up with such an ambitious title in one night, and feel the complexity merely through its structure, was enough for Zhang Yuantang to scrutinize Qiao Yu’s ideas with a critical eye.

As for Tian Yanzhen...

Well, although he was mentally prepared for Qiao Yu’s knack for creating miracles, he did have a slight suspicion that Qiao Yu might be messing around.

Of course, just a slight suspicion.

Mostly, he hoped that Qiao Yu indeed had relatively mature ideas and at least wasn’t making a joke.

However, once he delved into the manuscript, Tian Yanzhen realized that the kid wasn’t audacious enough to joke with everyone.

This manuscript had substance.

Especially because the definitions were not only very clear but also kindly included many detailed examples...

Tian Yanzhen even suspected that Qiao Yu might have prepared this in advance.

As for Qiao Yu, he found a book he was interested in, pulled it out, and sat on the sofa beside Zhang Yuantang and quietly began to read.

While the professors were reviewing his manuscript, he shouldn’t just sit idly, right? Playing with his phone seemed disrespectful to the professors, so reading was the only option.

Thus, the office fell completely silent. Only the occasional sound of pages turning could be heard.

Just like that, the office remained silent for a full hour. Qiao Yu got a little bored of flipping through the book and took out his phone to chat briefly with Qiao Xi, who was still on the high-speed train.

Finally, Zhang Yuantang lifted his head.

He had finished going through Qiao Yu’s manuscript, and his mind was a bit muddled, leaving him momentarily unsure of how to comment.

He wondered if Qiao Yu was a madman but also perceived the mathematical prospects if this axiomatic system could indeed be constructed, because it was so flexible!

Under the axiomatic system Qiao Yu planned to construct, it could be said that any number is a set, and any operation could cover all directions, essentially unifying mathematics in a sense.

Very abstract, but so flexible it’s shocking! The practical significance might even exceed the Langlands Program.

To give the simplest example: 1+1=?
