Chapter 106 I really wanted to rush up and strangle him!
Dead silence.
The ward fell into absolute silence, so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
The ticking of the clock on the wall seemed amplified countless times in Shen Yuxuan's ears, becoming deafening.
Shen Yuxuan's mind went completely blank for a moment, and his eyes widened little by little...
His lips twitched incessantly, and it felt like he had a mouthful of old phlegm stuck in his throat, preventing him from uttering a single word!
A mere four-color theorem?!
Is this how a normal person's brain works?
How arrogant is that?
This is utterly disgraceful to the entire academic community!
If anyone else said these words, they would be an absolutely arrogant and ignorant fool!
But what horrified Shen Yuxuan the most was that these words came from the calm mouth of thirteen-year-old Su Hao...
Yet it possesses an extremely strange and irrefutable persuasive power!
In Su Hao's extraordinary world of cognition, the chain of logic is that simple and straightforward.
He felt that this was neither like Newton's work, which revealed the laws governing the universe and stars from scratch;
It's not like Gauss built a skyscraper from scratch, constructing the cornerstone of modern mathematics.
He simply wanted to solve a proof that was ten thousand times simpler than those earth-shattering miracles.
"Therefore, the four-color theorem is not an ultimate goal for me at all; it is just a very basic touchstone."
Looking at the stunned Shen Yuxuan, Su Hao continued to cruelly shatter the other's values.
"I just wanted to use it to test whether I was qualified to stand alongside the mathematical giants of history."
If I can't even cross this most basic threshold, I will completely abandon those unrealistic expectations and change careers as soon as possible.
I'm sure if Newton or Gauss were sitting in my seat, they could easily untangle it while showing off their fruit platter. Wouldn't you agree?
"Then...then you..."
Shen Yuxuan was completely bewildered, his face displaying a variety of expressions, including astonishment, existential doubt, and utter confusion.
He felt that all the common sense he had accumulated over half a lifetime was being brutally trampled on by this thirteen-year-old boy in front of him.
Seeing the teacher on the verge of a breakdown, Su Hao laughed.
"Teacher, you've misunderstood." He waved his hand.
"I'm not crazy, and I've never intended to cling to the medieval workshop-style research methods."
I will gladly accept any help that is necessary for me to advance the progress.
If I need supercomputer-assisted calculations, I will apply for computing power;
If a research group needs to be formed to handle sub-tasks, I will not hesitate to collaborate with other scholars.
"Huh? Then this time..." Shen Yuxuan was completely stunned, feeling like his brain couldn't process what he was seeing.
"If you have to do everything yourself, how much energy would that be?"
Why would I, with nothing better to do, insist on carrying the entire burden alone? I'm not a masochist.
Su Hao shrugged matter-of-factly, once again shattering Shen Yuxuan's worldview.
In my dictionary, there's only one situation where I need to work alone behind closed doors:
That is, when I can do things alone more efficiently than when I lead a group of people.
Swish-!
Shen Yuxuan's face instantly turned as red as a pig's liver.
Thinking back to how I had just stood on the moral high ground and delivered that long, eloquent, and earnest speech, I felt like a clown trying to teach Guan Yu how to wield a broadsword!
He was so embarrassed that he wished he could quickly find a shovel, dig a hole in the ground, and bury himself!
It's not that they don't understand cooperation; they simply feel that doing it solo is faster than bringing others along!
"Um... just pretend you didn't hear what I said today."
Shen Yuxuan sighed deeply and, with utter helplessness, wiped his face hard with his large palm.
It seemed like an attempt to wipe away that embarrassing awkwardness.
"Okay!" Su Hao smiled and winked, agreeing readily.
Feeling that he might have a heart attack if the conversation continued, Shen Yuxuan quickly and abruptly changed the subject.
"Ahem! Right! Let's get down to business."
The Mathematical Society is currently organizing an expert group to conduct the first round of verification and review of your proof.
Why don't you go over and lend a hand?
If you could attend in person, give a presentation, and explain your reasoning to them, the review process would definitely be much faster.
It is important to understand that the solution to any world-class conjecture can never be based on the opinion of just one person.
It must undergo multiple rounds of rigorous, almost demanding, expert review.
Currently, what is being done in China is only the most basic first-stage preliminary review.
The goal is simple: to filter out invalid proofs that have completely broken logical chains or are just nonsense.
Shen Yuxuan felt this was an excellent opportunity for Su Hao to make his mark in front of academic bigwigs and build connections.
But to his dismay, Su Hao's reaction was unusually cold, even showing a hint of disgust.
"Huh? I really need to personally review and follow up on this? I don't think it's necessary at all..." Su Hao curled his lip.
"Huh? What do you mean?"
"Because I have verified it myself, I am very clear that there are no flaws in my proof logic."
Su Hao pointed to his head, looking completely matter-of-fact.
"I have written out every derivation step, the definition of the operator, and every line of formula clearly and plainly."
Since they have doubts, isn't it their job as review committee members to understand and verify these deductive logics?
Why should I chew their food before feeding them?
"..."
Looking at Su Hao's innocent and even somewhat naive face, Shen Yuxuan felt inexplicably itchy to hear his words and wanted to rush up and strangle him!
Shen Yuxuan sighed deeply, said nothing more, pushed open the door, and walked out of the ward.
His slightly stiff footsteps echoed in the empty corridor.
Only after turning two corners, feeling that I was far enough away from Su Hao's ward to make sure the kid couldn't hear me...
Shen Yuxuan finally stopped and leaned against the cold wall. He could no longer hold back and burst into laughter!
"Ha ha ha ha!"
It was a bitter smile mixed with a touch of absurdity, a touch of helplessness, and a sense of complete relief.
That perverted kid!
He truly had no doubts about his own proof, not even for a moment!
For an ordinary scholar, this would be an achievement worthy of being recorded in history!
I'm afraid they've been so anxious about whether this paper will be recognized by the authorities that they've been losing sleep and appetite, wishing they could live at the door of the review committee every day serving them tea and water!
But that kid, he actually took the blame for the expert review process—a matter of academic reputation and even his life—and so confidently and impatiently shifted the responsibility to the review committee!
It was as if this matter had absolutely nothing to do with him!
At this moment, Shen Yuxuan finally understood something.
Even if the entire mathematics community showered him with flowers and applause, it would be nothing but fleeting smoke to that thirteen-year-old monster in the hospital room, failing to make the slightest ripple.
This is just like how Newton created calculus, which was enough to change the world, but found publishing papers too troublesome and shelved it for more than 30 years, not bothering to prove himself to the academic community.
Because the truth was there, and he touched it, that was enough.
"The thought processes of geniuses are truly beyond the comprehension of ordinary mortals like myself!"
Shen Yuxuan shook his head and muttered to himself as he walked away with light steps.
