Super God-Level Top Student-Chapter 465 - 214 Casual Guidance_2

...

At 7 p.m., Roth Dugan arrived at the Xilin Mathematics Research Institute’s courtyard on time with Peter Schultz.

He had intended to come alone, but after discussing with Peter Schultz, he realized the necessity of bringing this young mathematician along to make the discussion more comprehensive.

The only downside was that there might be one more person to witness his old self’s shameless antics, which could significantly affect his face.

But thinking that this might provide a breakthrough in solving the problem he had been researching for years, he weighed the options and decided that face wasn’t worth much after all.

As it turned out, this was a very correct decision.

Because when he arrived on time for the appointment, he found out that the conversation was not going to be between two people.

"Ha, Qiao Ze, it’s finally nice to see you again! Do you know how hard it is to have a face-to-face meeting with you? It’s a pity that you always refuse to go to Princeton. Really, if you would just consider visiting, I’m sure you’d fall in love with the place."

The greeting was still the same cliché speech.

It was the same during video conferences.

Whenever Roth Dugan saw Qiao Ze, he would start by praising Princeton’s wonderful environment or the intense academic atmosphere.

Even when he was consistently refused, he never tired of it. Your next chapter awaits on novelbuddy

Anyway, it was just a casual remark; if Qiao Ze were ever to whimsically agree, it would be a welcome surprise.

Unfortunately, today he received the same response: "Xilin Research Institute is fine, you come here."

"Ha, well, you know I can’t leave. Oh, right, Peter Schultz—you’ve met him before. Um... and who are those people?"

Roth Dugan glanced at several figures guarding in the courtyard and asked.

"Bodyguards?" Qiao Ze said, not quite sure.

Ever since that Director Du had talked to him the last time, the "Fire Seed" team that had been silently following him simply moved into the courtyard of the institute, clearing out a room on the first floor previously used for storage and making it their base.

They often wandered around the courtyard, even inspecting the institute’s garbage.

Fortunately, these matters hadn’t affected Qiao Ze’s work or life, so he just let them be.

In fact, there were some benefits to it.

Like this evening, Qiao Ze had already arranged to talk with Roth Dugan, knowing that Su Mucheng wouldn’t be interested in their conversation. The young girl then went shopping with the two young women arranged by Director Du last time.

And she took Lu Xiuxiu with her.

Today was just the day of his doctoral defense, but the two closest women to him were as excited as if it was a festival.

Roth Dugan was momentarily stunned by Qiao Ze’s response, his gaze traveling over the faces of those in the small courtyard before he spoke, "Oh, alright... never mind, take a look at this first, you know, I’ve been studying the N-body problem.

Your presentation today gave me lots of inspiration, and I discussed a lot with Peter Schultz this afternoon. Everything I’ve thought of is in here. Check it out, and you must give me some feedback."

With that, Roth Dugan handed over the manuscript he had written after discussing with Peter Schultz.

"It was a doctoral defense."

Qiao Ze corrected Roth Dugan’s slip of the tongue and took the manuscript, scanning it seriously and feeling somewhat surprised.

Clearly, the manuscript’s content used formulas he had just presented that day, involving the concept of transcendental geometry.

A new direction in mathematics and the mathematical tools that stem from it often mean that many mathematical problems can be solved. Just like calculus has become the most basic tool for studying mathematics in this century.

But the fact that Roth Dugan could be inspired by his doctoral defense to consider using transcendental geometry to solve the N-body problem was something Qiao Ze himself hadn’t thought of.

And it seemed that this approach might indeed be interesting, even giving him some inspiration.

Indeed, as Su Mucheng had said, these elders were still very capable; they simply hadn’t been exposed to these concepts before.

But to tell the truth, the difficulty of going from 0 to 1 is far greater than going from 1 to 100.

After spending about ten minutes reviewing the manuscript’s content, Qiao Ze looked up at Roth Dugan, who was full of expectation, and quickly pondered before speaking, "Why not be bolder."

"Bolder? What do you mean?" Peter Schultz, who hadn’t spoken up until now, tilted his head and asked.

"Got a pen?" Qiao Ze glanced at Peter Schultz and asked.

Before Peter Schultz could react, Roth Dugan hurriedly pulled out a pen from his pocket and passed it over.

Qiao Ze took the pen and began writing directly on the manuscript, casually explaining, "Instead of such indirect conversions, we might as well directly use transcendental geometry to describe the position of objects."

Roth Dugan craned his neck to look at what Qiao Ze was writing, while Peter Schultz said, "Is that feasible?"

"Of course, but it would require a new coordinate system based on transcendental geometry, representing the position of each object with transcendental numbers."

"Wait, I don’t quite understand, wouldn’t this make the calculations even more complicated?"

"Not at all, quite the opposite. In fact, this allows us to describe the interactions between objects more precisely, especially when they are very close to each other. We can approximate the interaction forces by performing a series expansion on them. And it’s not just the classical N-body problem that it applies to, but it could extend to the relativistic N-body problem as well."
