"Ah..." After hearing Wang's response, Zhang Hongcai sighed again.

Why is this kid so stubborn? Wouldn't it be good to come to Yanbei University?

Just thinking that Huaxia's first bona fide Fields Medal winner might come from Xilin University of Technology made him feel suffocated.

What a waste of Yanbei Mathematics Institute's reputation as the best in the country.

"If this step in the derivation could be proved correct, I think Qiao Ze would need at most two to three years, or even less, to complete the proof of existence for solutions to the Yang-Mills Equations. If it can be done in two years, there shouldn't be a big problem with competing for the next Fields Medal," Zhang Hongcai remarked.

The next mathematics conference is around August 2026. If Qiao Ze can complete the proof in 2025 and it's recognized by the world mathematical community, then competing for the Fields Medal is indeed a sure thing.

Qiao Ze is nineteen this year, and he will be twenty-two three years from now.

If he could set the record for the youngest winner of the Fields Medal at that level, it's highly likely that there would be no precedents, nor would there possibly be any followers.

Wang simply smiled, then shook his head slightly and raised his hand to point at the young man on the stage, signaling to Zhang Hongcai to first listen to the report.

From his perspective, it was really not appropriate to comment on such matters.

To be honest, for Wang Zhenjie, the president of the Huaxia Mathematicians Association who came specifically for this report, he was equally shocked beneath his calm appearance.

A nineteen-year-old youth already standing at the pinnacle of the pyramid, ready to challenge the most dazzling pearl in the mathematical world, was something he couldn't have imagined before today—even though Zhang Hongcai had already given him a heads-up.

Meanwhile, Qiao Ze's calm voice continued.

"The above is the main content of today's report. The following content is not limited to the imagination of mathematics. Unfortunately, a mathematically consistent physical theory is not necessarily correct, which leads to a fact: when we map mathematics to physics, the absence of logical problems does not signify correctness."

"Next is my reflection on this issue. First, we need to incorporate field theory, create Feynman diagrams, calculate scattering amplitudes using Feynman rules, and incorporate them into our formulas to obtain the following result..."

Zhang Hongcai watched quietly as Qiao Ze switched to the next PPT.

He hadn't continued with this part yesterday.

"mφ is the mass of bosons, 'g' is the coupling constant in the interaction Lagrangian between particles; combined with the equation, we can also derive the range of values for v(g). Next is once again using the splitting method to carry out the spatial transformation..."

Considering the time, I've omitted the calculation steps; this is the final result...

From this result, we can see that the components of the electric field can be constructed into non-commuting operators. I believe this will be the key step to solving the mass gap hypothesis. Thus, the most critical issue still remains: how we continue to explain the existence of the mass gap using mathematical language.

This is my overall thought process on the issue, and it is all I want to discuss with everyone in today's report."

Yes, at this moment, Qiao Ze's PPT had already moved to the last page.

The originally very quiet conference venue burst into whispered discussions with Qiao Ze's statement.

There was no applause yet, but many people couldn't help but start talking.

Although most people hadn't understood the first half of the report, everyone understood the latter half.

This press conference wasn't just about analyzing already published papers but also about recent research directions?

The ultimate problem that this young man on stage planned to solve was...

For a moment, the voices of private conversations started to turn into an uproar.

"Did you understand that?"

"What do you mean?"

"Nonsense... Of course I mean his equation, and the result after substitution and calculation."

"I think if I could understand that, I would be a professor at Princeton."

"So do you think he can really solve the problem?"

"I don't know, but look at the professors in the front row... They seem to have not reacted yet, so I guess it's probably correct?"

"Is it possible the professors didn't understand either?"

"Heh..."

...

Similarly, many other discussions were taking place.

Although Qiao Ze's tone remained even, everyone who managed to attend today's event knew what Qiao Ze's challenge represented.

Even Yu Chenggong, after sending off Zhang Hongcai last night, took the time to look up the mass gap on the internet and research its history and previous studies.

Some had even asserted that currently, there might be no problem more difficult than the mass gap hypothesis.

If people could really resolve this issue, it would mean that humanity's understanding of the microscopic physical world would take a significant leap forward.

This problem, which combines mathematical and physical theories, had already become a foundation of modern particle physics even before it was proven. If disproven, an entire branch of physics would become a joke, including the particle standard model and the Higgs Mechanism, which have been proven countless times.

And because it's so fundamental, the Yang-Mills Theory itself only offers an exquisite model but doesn't directly tell the physics community what the strong and electroweak forces actually are. This requires a solution and proof of the theory.

Whoever can prove it might very well be described as a contemporary Newton.
