Chapter 762: Chapter 414: Zhao Yi, is God! _3
Now, at the age of sixty, Edward Witten possesses not only a genius brain but also extraordinary experience. He is truly one of the leading figures in the international field of mathematics.
His judgment on the difficulty of a ’mathematics problem’ is definitely of considerable reference value.
Many people started to worry about Zhao Yi.
Edward Witten, however, didn’t think it was a big deal, as no one’s research could go smoothly all the time, "No need to worry. He’s really young, perhaps this failure will be good for him."
Afterwards, Edward Witten closed his door and spent most of his time summarizing his gains. When he had time, he would rest and definitely not go out to deal with others.
Outside, it was chaos.
Nobody knew who spread Edward Witten’s words, but once inside the school, Zhao Yi’s research was said to have ’entered a dead end,’ and some were saying Zhao Yi was ’working on impossible research,’ "If he succeeds, he’s a God," etc.
At school, the words were more authentic, as they all came from Edward Witten himself.
But as they spread further, things changed.
Camilla and the administrative staff member who had followed Edward Witten also heard Zhao Yi’s words. When they called back to report, they mentioned a few related things. As a result, the news spread to Princeton University, and there were some strange changes.
"Mr. Witten went to China this time to see Zhao Yi. Apparently, Zhao Yi’s research drove him... insane!"
"They’re bosom friends, close friends!"
"When Mr. Witten learned about it, he immediately decided to go see for himself. I really hope Zhao Yi gets better soon, otherwise, it’ll be a huge loss to the world of mathematics."
"Your news must be fake, right? My mentor said that when Zhao Yi was discussing with Mr. Witten, he said he wanted to do the work only God could do, and then he sulked in his room all alone."
"You guys just don’t understand, do you? The end of science is theology. Perhaps Zhao Yi discovered something inexplicable and decided to believe in God..."
Public opinion is quite interesting.
The news from the university mentioned that Zhao Yi was doing research seriously, but the strange remarks that spread overseas made people worry when they were passed back home.
Tang Xudong, the president of the university, also serves as the Vice Mayor of the Capital. He is very busy with work, spending only one day a week at the school while working in other places for the rest of the time.
Although he spends little time working in the school, Tang Xudong does care about Yanhua University. He has met Zhao Yi twice and occasionally checks in on him because Zhao Yi is a national treasure scientist and already a leader in the domestic academic community and Yanhua University.
When Tang Xudong heard from his secretary about the news from overseas, he immediately worried. After finishing the inspection, he decided to turn the car towards the university on the way back, "Let’s go to the university and see how Zhao Yi is doing. Although it’s probably just a rumor, I’m still a bit worried. Xiao Zhang, tell me, what’s the news?"
Secretary Xiao Zhang immediately reported back.
Then Tang Xudong heard a bunch of inexplicable remarks about ’mental illness’ and ’converting to God’, and became even more worried about Zhao Yi. When the car drove into Yanhua University, he got off and walked towards the staff dormitory, anxiously asking, "Is the internationally renowned mathematician, Edward Witten, still here? A few days ago, he and Zhao Yi were researching together? We should first disturb Zhao Yi, let’s go and ask him".
Secretary Xiao Zhang immediately made a phone call to inquire.
Soon enough.
A group of people reached the fifth floor of the staff dormitory, where they noticed Zhao Yi’s room door was open.
Tang Xudong took the lead and walked to the door, asking Hu Zhibin, who was standing there, "Is Zhao Yi in there? How is he doing?" fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
Hu Zhibin rubbed his hair and said, "He just came out a moment ago, said he was too tired and went to sleep."
As he spoke, he looked inside the room.
Tang Xudong saw a strong foreign old man with a notebook for recording, standing in front of the living room sofa, his face filled with surprise.
"Mr. Witten?"
Tang Xudong tentatively greeted him, and Secretary Xiao Zhang followed up trying to introduce him.
Edward Witten suddenly turned his head, his eyes directly passing over Tang Xudong and the rest, shouting at Hu Zhibin at the door, "I’m sure of it!"
"Zhao Yi is God!"
