Zhang Hongcai paused mid-sentence and turned to Li Jiangao.
"Ah?" Li Jiangao responded blankly.
Well...
The recent conversation between Zhang Hongcai and Qiao Ze had once again brought to mind the scene from the first day he met Qiao Ze. The young man had his head slightly raised, speaking with a hint of pride and satisfaction.
"...The problem I want to solve is the mass gap hypothesis. It won't be long before I can prove that in a tight single gauge group, the quantum Yang-Mills equations in four-dimensional Euclidean space have a mass gap solution."
Li Jiangao couldn't really remember his feelings at that time.
But looking back now, he probably just thought the kid was too arrogant, and he didn't take that declaration too seriously.
Even before going to meet with Zhang Chunlei and the other professors, he specifically told him not to reveal his idea, as it would seem too presumptuous.
