CHAPTER 522: CHAPTER 164: HERE TO BECOME A DISCIPLE?_3

"Oh! I see!" Qiao Yu nodded, with a look of realization, but his mind began to work quickly.

Well, you definitely can’t just share the specific method carelessly. But the reason seems easy to find.

After all, his method doesn’t really touch on functional analysis. You could say it’s an optimization method, but you need a deep understanding of generalized modal theory to use it.

The main issue is that he can’t even apply for a patent for this method, as mathematical methods themselves are difficult to patent; they must be transformed into specific technical solutions.

The current situation is that his analytical method does not have a model that can produce stable outputs. Every application requires personalized analysis based on the characteristics and conditions of the specific problem and designing specific functions and algorithms.

And lacking stable standardized output means it can’t be patented as a universal technology. In short, he still needs time and manpower to solve the problems of stability and generality, creating a standardized general method before applying for a patent.

Yes, recently, Qiao Yu hasn’t done much theoretical research, but he has thoroughly researched patent applications and starting a company.

You could say there’s no problem with the theory at all; now, it’s just the practical operation that’s lacking.

And Qiao Yu is quite confident about the practical operation too.

He’s on good terms with Professor Zhang Zuolin, who has already opened two companies dealing with patent licensing with decent profits. If there are any problems in the future, he can ask Professor Zhang for advice.

"Alright, stop overthinking. When Professor Lu comes, just chat with him about your general ideas. Don’t worry, until you write a paper, no one’s going to press you for details."

Although Qiao Yu thought he was hiding it well, apparently Tian Yanzhen saw through his little ideas at a glance.

"Hehe..." Qiao Yu chuckled awkwardly and then asked seriously, "Director Tian, is it that obvious?"

Tian Yanzhen smiled but didn’t respond, just pointed to the sofa beside him.

Luckily, he didn’t have to wait long before Professor Lu arrived.

To Qiao Yu’s surprise, there was also a female student with the professor. Hmm, should be a student, since the age difference seemed a bit large.

"Hello, Academician Tian, sorry to trouble you again today."

"No need to be so formal, Professor Lu. Oh, Zhang Xiao is here too. Qiao Yu, let me introduce you, this is Professor Lu Huazhou from the School of Mathematics, an expert in functional analysis. This is Professor Lu’s student, your senior sister, named Zhang Xiao. No need for introductions for Qiao Yu, right?"

Lu Huazhou smiled and said, "Hey, what is there to introduce? We all met on the stage at the Linhai conference. Qiao Yu, I think it was at the beginning of the year when Academician Tian even called me.

Saying you should come help with an analysis in the laboratory over there, and if there’s anything you don’t understand, let me see if I can help you out. I’ve been waiting for your call from the beginning of the year till the end without receiving it. Well, I had no choice but to shamelessly ask Academician Tian to introduce us."

Qiao Yu smiled shyly and greeted, "Hello, Professor Lu. Hello, Senior Sister."

Senior Sister Zhang smiled and nodded politely at Qiao Yu.

"Alright, have a seat. You can chat here in my office." After the pleasantries, Assistant Su soon brought tea for everyone.

Professor Lu wasted no time, took a sip of tea, and directly asked, "Yesterday I went to Professor Zuo Lin’s lab and reviewed his data again.

I also looked at those reports you produced. Ah, to be honest, I spent the entire night wondering how you did it. Not only couldn’t I figure it out, but Zhang Xiao, who has been following their progress, making some fundamental notes and analysis, couldn’t either.

After visiting Professor Zuo Lin’s place yesterday, I called her and said your analysis report solved the current issues for the lab, and she didn’t believe it. Can you tell us what method you used?"

Qiao Yu kept observing Professor Lu and the senior sister beside him.

No need to say much about Lu Huazhou. Although it was his first time seeing him in person, Qiao Yu had already seen his photo on the School of Mathematics’ website.

But it was the first time meeting this Senior Sister Zhang. To be honest, female professors are rarely seen at the research center, making Qiao Yu a bit curious.

At first glance, Senior Sister Zhang doesn’t seem particularly attractive, just average-looking. Compared to Qiao Xi and Xia Keke, she’s far from it.

But after a few more looks, she seemed rather pleasant. Quietly, with a very unique temperament.

Especially those eyes, staring straight at him, both of them not feeling the slightest bit awkward. But Qiao Yu could see that this senior sister was purely interested in knowing his method.

Because that look was different from the way Xia Keke looked.

"Well, actually, the method I used is derived from my Generalized Modal Axiomatic System, uh... honestly, if you don’t have a good understanding of modal space, modal geometry, and the related theorems, I honestly don’t know where to start."

Qiao Yu replied seriously and sincerely.

Lu Huazhou smiled and said, "See, I knew it! Qiao Yu, that’s also why I brought Zhang Xiao with me. I’ve honestly been busy lately and haven’t had time to thoroughly study your paper.

However, Zhang Xiao is very interested in your modal axiomatic system. She has been studying it all this time. At least regarding the definition of modal space and your modal geometry, she should have an understanding, right?"
