Chapter 384: Chapter 250: What Else Can’t He Do! _3
Many people were deeply shocked when they thought of Zhao Yi. The incident just now was so significant that it took them a while to snap out of their amazement.
How did Zhao Yi discover the problem with Bob’s calculation data?
Everyone in the meeting room listened to the same explanation, and the verification content only yielded one result. Yet, Zhao Yi accurately pointed out where the data was incorrect.
"Did he know the result as soon as he looked at the calculation?"
"Could he determine whether the result is correct immediately, while others take several hours or even longer for the calculation?"
"Isn’t his calculation speed terrifyingly fast?"
"Impossible."
"He must have some method. But anyway, Zhao Yi is an expert in number theory!"
Mathematicians who have achieved research results in number theory hold a high status within the academic circle, always standing at the top of the academic pyramid of disdain.
Take Wiles as an example.
After Wiles proved Fermat’s Last Theorem, he was almost universally recognized as the world’s top mathematician, unparalleled by any other.

After the verification personnel in the conference room announced the invalidity of the report from the California Institute of Technology team, the academic conference was directly concluded.
Many people gathered around Zhao Yi, every one of them leading figures in the physics field. They were all interested in how Zhao Yi knew the calculation data was incorrect.
"What method did you use?"
"Is the result directly related to the conditions? Or how did you do the verification?"
"Or you have a unique vision for the experiment..."
Questions were asked one after another.
Zhao Yi felt a bit overwhelmed, regretting not leaving the venue immediately. He could only explain to the others, "I just felt there was a problem with the results."
"I wasn’t sure."
"It was probably just an intuition."
"There were these three places that I paid close attention to because I thought even if the calculation results were fabricated, no one would know."
Zhao Yi’s explanation was not accepted.
Many people started to speculate.
A few people familiar with Ruan Wenye gathered around and started discussing, "You’re so lucky to recruit Zhao Yi into your team. Mathematics is critical for physics research."
"Do you know how he calculates?"
"I guess it’s like this: he’s not only a calculation genius, but also has a deep understanding of quantum physics, relying on the final result and mathematical ability, he can detect where there might be issues."
"That makes sense!"
"If I had strong computational abilities, I could definitely identify those errors."
"What a genius!"
"..."
Many people in the venue heard this conversation.
By the time Zhao Yi finally managed to get away from the crowd and leave the conference room, he could hear people by his side admiringly saying, "With your gifted abilities, you will surely be a brilliant physicist in the future!"
"I believe, as long as you focus on physics research, there is hope that you might win the Nobel Prize in Physics in the future!"
"Keep going!"
"What a physics prodigy..."
Zhao Yi was quite puzzled, he turned his head and asked Chen Ming, "Since when did I become a physics prodigy?"
Chen Ming gave a thumbs up with both hands, "They’re right. You surely can win the Nobel Prize in Physics in the future."
Chen Ming was more confident than anyone else.
Zhao Yi just started studying quantum physics and didn’t understand much of the underlying knowledge, yet he could help him identify several anomalies.
What can’t he do?
A genius in physics!
Of course.
If Zhao Yi is not considered a prodigy in physics, then who else could be?
