Chapter 997: Chapter 499 Farewell to Youth!_2

This experiment required a large amount of superconducting materials, and the experimental design also needed to be extremely rigorous. He might be able to observe the anti-gravity effect through the experiment.

During the preparation process for the experiment, Zhao Yi completed the organization of the mathematical theory. He said to Li Ning, "Let’s wait a bit. There’s no rush for the experiment, I plan to conduct the first experiment next Wednesday."

"You’ve also worked hard during this time. Professor Li, it’s been a long time since you’ve been back to the country, right? Maybe you can take some time to wander around the capital, relax a bit."

Li Ning nodded in agreement, but in reality, where did he have the mood to wander around?

Now was a critical moment!

Li Ning’s mood became extremely anxious. When Zhao Yi was working with him, he could be somewhat calmer, seriously discussing theory and experiments with Zhao Yi.

When Zhao Yi went to do other things, and he could only wander around the School of Sciences, the laboratories, or the university, his mind was always thinking about the experiments. The repeated experiment days felt like judgement days, giving him a sense that time was dragging on endlessly.

That afternoon, Li Ning went to the School of Sciences, where he found Zhou Li, whom he had just become familiar with, to see what he was specifically working on.

Zhou Li was researching partial differential equations. The complex mathematics were dizzying, but Li Ning’s mathematical skills were not low. He was not only able to understand a lot of the content but could also discuss with Zhou Li.

From Zhou Li, Li Ning regained confidence in mathematics, and he couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief internally, "It turns out I’m not so bad, it’s just that I’m a bit behind compared to Zhao Yi."

The two discussed the construction work of partial differential equations, and soon the topic turned back to the superconducting antigravity issue.

Li Ning said anxiously, "I don’t even know if it can be successful. Honestly, Professor Zhou, I can’t even understand Academician Zhao’s work, even though he’s verifying my theory."

That was the most frustrating part.

Superconducting antigravity was his theory, and Zhao Yi was just interested in verifying it. However, the method of verification he used was different from that of other experimental physicists. He didn’t directly conduct experiments to verify it but built the mathematical logic first, used the mathematical framework to deduce the experimental method, and then proceeded to design the experiment.

This...

Li Ning not only didn’t understand Zhao Yi’s work but even felt as if his own theory had been deeply analyzed and had become something entirely different from the original.

Zhou Li shook his head and said, "You don’t know how blessed you are!"

"What do you mean?" Li Ning asked, puzzled.

"Do you know how many people in the country want to collaborate with Zhao Yi on their research? I estimate that over ninety percent wish to..."

Zhou Li continued, "I myself am the same, unfortunately, Zhao Yi is not interested in partial differential equations."

That was where Zhou Li’s frustration lay.

The frustration at the School of Sciences was that Zhao Yi’s mathematical physics achievements were all theoretical and didn’t intersect with the laboratory at all, which meant they couldn’t influence the development of the laboratories at the School of Sciences.

Zhou Li’s frustration was that he also conducted research on mathematical theory and had no way to collaborate with Zhao Yi.

Sometimes, Zhou Li would think to himself, "If I had known what I know now thirty years ago, I definitely wouldn’t have studied partial differential equations. Instead, I’d have gone into applied mathematics. Applied mathematics is where the future lies!"

"As long as I can persist until I collaborate with Zhao Yi, maybe I can achieve the most cutting-edge international results..."

"And mathematical theory work, just as Zhao Yi said, is for those ’without talent.’ A lifetime of hard work might at most prove a conjecture..."

"Ahem!"

"I’m really sorry that I haven’t even been able to prove a single conjecture."

Zhou Li felt deeply saddened thinking about it, and when he looked at Li Ning again, his eyes flashed with an emotion called jealousy. In the end, he just patted Li Ning’s shoulder and sighed, "I really envy you!"

"To be able to collaborate with Zhao Yi!"

"Ah~"

Zhou Li’s dejected demeanor gave Li Ning a bit more confidence, "What am I worried about? It would be great if it’s successful, but if not, then so be it."

"If Zhao Yi can’t prove it, maybe my theory is wrong. It’s useless to think too much."

"Let’s just wait and see!"

...

The entire School of Sciences seemed to revolve around the physics laboratory, with everyone looking forward to the superconducting antigravity experiment. The relevant personnel were patiently preparing for it.

The experiment was a verification of Li Ning’s theory, and he didn’t go around wandering. Instead, he stayed in the laboratory every day for the entire day.

He discussed the anti-gravity issue with others, personally adjusted the equipment, cared about the progress of material preparation, and studied carefully how to perfect the experimental design.

The other core figure, Zhao Yi, however, became relaxed.

Zhao Yi only occasionally visited the laboratory at the Medical Science Center to check on the progress of the neural signal transmission project.

He was mostly at leisure.

One morning after finishing his run, he even sat alone on a bench, watching the students coming and going, feeling the academic atmosphere of the university.

The campus atmosphere was truly good.

The students hurried along with their books in hand, each seemingly earnest.

"Studying is so great!"

"I really wish I could return to university life, but... I can’t go back!" Zhao Yi felt quite regretful, but didn’t have much of a solution. He thought about continuing to study but couldn’t find a teacher to accept him.

"If I want to study again, I’ll have to consider fields like philosophy or economics."

"Yes!"

"I must make time at the end of the year to apply for a graduate program in the philosophy department!"

Zhao Yi made his decision once again. frёewebηovel.cѳm

A familiar figure approached from a distance with a stiff and strange way of walking that Zhao Yi immediately recognized.
