At this point, Lothar Du's smile suddenly faded away, his expression turned increasingly serious, and he even furrowed his brows. Deep furrows on his forehead gradually became more pronounced. It was a considerable while before he continued, "God, don't tell me, his paper solved the Yang-Mills existence problem!"

"Cough cough... Editor in Chief Dugan, you could guess that?" Freya Rosa asked in shock, her expression not looking feigned.

Lothar Du involuntarily twitched his eyebrows, disregarded her words, and just waved his hand seriously. Freya Rosa, receiving the cue, immediately walked up and handed the thick stack of printed papers in her hands to Lothar Du.

Lothar Du's face was expressionless as he glanced at the title of the paper.

Good Lord... Just as I suspected!

Actually, for him it wasn't hard to guess.

The three papers by Qiao Ze were all part of the same thread.

From the previous paper, Lothar Du had already realized that Qiao Ze's goal was to prove the existence of mass gap. But before that, it was necessary to confirm the existence of the solutions to the Yang-Mills Equations.

Moreover, the usually stable Freya Rosa suddenly getting so excited, even barging right into his office, was enough to explain a lot.

However, the printed paper had no author's name on it, not due to oversight, but because Freya Rosa was still unsure whether a double-blind review was needed. Besides, she had already reported that the author was Qiao Ze.

Glancing briefly at the abstract of the paper, Lothar Du raised his head and asked Freya Rosa, "Have you read this paper?"

Freya Rosa shook her head and said solemnly, "I only quickly checked the title and abstract before bringing it over. I thought you would be more suited to picking the right reviewers for this paper."

"Oh, so the author is the same as the previous paper, just Qiao Ze alone?" Lothar Du asked again.

"Yes, Editor in Chief Dugan, just him alone," Freya Rosa replied promptly.

Lothar Du nodded and then lowered his head to start flipping through Qiao Ze's paper.

The weekly reports from the project group had been casually pushed to one side.

Taking another look at the exaggerated title, Lothar Du pursed his lips, took a deep breath, and concentrated his attention on the main text of the paper.

Next to him, Freya Rosa, as Lothar Du focused on the paper, tiptoed to the opposite side of his massive desk and hid her body behind the stacks of books.

She observed the changing expressions of the bad-tempered old man opposite her through the gaps between the books.

The reason she didn't leave was that she felt that Editor in Chief would likely have tasks for her shortly.

And maybe she could deduce something from the changes in Lothar Du's expressions.

Although it was impossible to judge whether the paper's proof was correct in such a short time, even for someone as learned as him, he could at least ascertain if the paper had any major logical flaws.

If not...

Well, if this paper could withstand scrutiny, it could be the most important mathematical achievement since the millennium? Perhaps even surpassing the Poincaré conjecture.

The two had completely different implications.

The professors studying the micro world at the Physics College would probably be very excited.

Because this mathematical framework was precisely what they had been longing for over half a century.

The only thing she didn't know how to describe was that the author of the paper was too young. Similarly, the authorship of this paper, like the previous one, was neat with just one corresponding author and the first author, and both names were exactly the same.

Freya Rosa had no idea how that young person from Huaxia managed to accomplish this.

Because normally the papers submitted from Huaxia would always be followed by a long list of names.

Such brevity in the author column was extremely rare.

Independent research results!

A nineteen-year-old youth!

Had a Newton of this age appeared in Huaxia?

The reason there was only Qiao Ze's name was very simple, just the virtue of speed.

So fast that everyone hadn't reacted yet, Qiao Ze had already finished writing the paper and submitted it directly. Naturally, there wouldn't be all that mess.

In fact, the Huaxia Mathematical Community was still studying his previous paper...

At any rate, this young editor's mind was in a muddle, completely oblivious to the swift passage of time. The man opposite, Lothar Du, had already turned to the third page, his originally serious face growing even more solemn, even starting to subconsciously pick up the pen and make notes on the paper, mumbling to himself from time to time.

Until a half-figure peaked through the unshut office door.

"Dean Dugan..."

Perhaps seeing Freya Rosa who had turned her head, the secretary paused.

Lothar Du had also lifted his head, looking blankly at the secretary standing at the door. The next moment, his gaze gradually became clearer.

"Ronnie... forget it, I need to make a trip to the research institute; I probably won't be back today, cancel all my appointments for today." Lothar Du gave instructions.

"Ah?" The secretary was taken aback, not expecting the dean to suddenly come up with such a statement. After a moment, somewhat troubled, he said, "Is it something very important? Today..."

"Yes, it's very important, more important than anything else! Stop talking, just do as I say. If anyone has objections, they can come find me at the research institute, and then they will surely understand what a mathematician's wrath is!" Lothar Du said calmly, and then put down the paper in his hand, stood up and walked over to a nearby rack, and started to put on his coat.
