From child prodigy to chief scientist

After experiencing the effects of the flow mindset, Xu Xiao still went to the computer and organized her research results.

Although the proof process has passed the system's review, he will definitely show it to Yuan Jiyang again.

If Yuan Jiyang feels that his findings have certain academic value, he can consider writing them into a paper and submitting it for publication.

Even if this achievement has not yet reached the level of publication, it is still a very meaningful experience that has greatly improved Xu Xiao's research capabilities.

It took Xu Xiao two days to organize the core content of the results onto his computer and send it to Yuan Jiyang.

Xu Xiao did not mention the programming and numerous numerical experiments he conducted.

On the one hand, the amount of data in this content is quite large, and even if it can be published in a paper in the future, it certainly will not be reflected in the paper.

On the other hand, Xu Xiao was not keen to easily reveal these underlying codes, but rather wanted to keep them as a trump card.

This code may come in handy when conducting similar research in the future, which can be considered one of Xu Xiao's hidden advantages.

Having finished dealing with the research project, Xu Xiao felt it was time to prepare for the national math competition team's training camp.

Xu Xiao was the only representative from Liaoning Province in this training camp, and he didn't know any of the other students selected for the national training team.

But this isn't a big deal. Anyway, since his rebirth, he has been constantly entering new environments, and his ability to adapt to new environments is quite strong.

School of Mathematics, Yenching University.

After a long day of work, Yuan Jiyang felt tired and wanted to go back to rest.

However, remembering that he hadn't checked his email yet, Yuan Jiyang still insisted on sitting down in front of the computer.

"I'll deal with the really important emails tonight, and leave the rest for tomorrow."

After opening his email, Yuan Jiyang found that there weren't many emails today, only a dozen or so in total.

Since that's the case, he didn't intend to push it any further and decided to just deal with it all at once.

The first letter was the journal's reply to the peer reviewers. The journal editor stated that Yuan Jiyang's paper was generally fine and only needed minor revisions in a few places before it could be published.

The second letter was a cooperation invitation from a company, hoping that Yuan Jiyang could provide them with some optimization solutions for layout calculations.

After processing several emails, Yuan Jiyang suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

"Xu Xiao... It's been so long since I received an email from you."

It has been almost a month since Yuan Jiyang replied to Xu Xiao's email.

During this time, he would often think of Xu Xiao and wanted to talk to him about how the project was going.

But Yuan Jiyang also knew that such academic-level problems were definitely not so easy to solve.

It is already quite remarkable that Xu Xiao was able to handle even a portion of the problems.

With this in mind, Yuan Jiyang opened the email.

But when he saw the contents of the email, he looked somewhat stunned.

"Xu Xiao has actually completed all the proof work?"

It's important to know that even for a true graduate student, completing a research project often takes a year or more.

Even for topics that are particularly fast or relatively simple, it's difficult to finish them in less than a few months.

In comparison, Xu Xiao's speed was noticeably unbelievably fast.

This excitement made Yuan Jiyang forget his fatigue and stop dealing with other emails, instead focusing on carefully reviewing Xu Xiao's proof process.

Compared to the initial assumptions, Xu Xiao's final conclusions have been adjusted, which is perfectly normal.

After carefully reading the contents of the attachment, Yuan Jiyang let out a sigh of relief.

"This is indeed a very rigorous proof. Xu Xiao is truly born for scientific research!"

In fact, students who are admitted to universities through competitions are often geniuses in a certain field, but they may not necessarily pursue research in that field in the future.

Besides personal subjective choices, another major reason is the huge difference between scientific research and competition.

Competitions focus more on logic and problem-solving skills, but these alone are far from sufficient to meet the requirements of mathematical research.

Scientific research has a higher threshold in terms of depth, breadth, and persistence.

Not to mention, various practical problems may arise during the research process, such as the direction itself being wrong.

Therefore, many students who were admitted to universities through competitions choose to pursue other career paths after graduation, or even if they engage in mathematical research, they do not achieve any outstanding results.

However, Xu Xiao is completely different. His ability to raise questions independently and his ability to solve problems are both amazing.

Throughout the proof process, Xu Xiao skillfully employed many advanced techniques, but he did not deliberately pursue them. Instead, he combined complexity with simplicity, using the most appropriate theory in each part.

It is truly incredible to see both extraordinary talent and maturity in an 11-year-old child.

After being amazed, Yuan Jiyang began to assess the scientific value of this achievement.

Objectively speaking, this is certainly not a particularly groundbreaking achievement, but even among graduate students in the Department of Mathematics at Yenching University, such an achievement is definitely not bad.

If you can write a good paper, there is still a very good chance of it being published in a journal.

Subsequently, Yuan Jiyang replied to Xu Xiao, affirming the correctness and academic value of the entire proof.

Yuan Jiyang hoped that Xu Xiao could continue to organize it into a paper and provided several papers as references.

Normally, if you want to submit a paper, you need to write an English version of the paper.

However, Yuan Jiyang wouldn't demand too much of Xu Xiao in this regard, considering Xu Xiao's age; it's already quite impressive that he can write a good paper in Chinese.

…………

In early March, Xu Xiao did not return to Yucai, but went directly to Yanjing to prepare for the national team training camp.

He had already seen the email Yuan Jiyang had sent him. Given such praise from Yuan Jiyang, Xu Xiao knew that this achievement was definitely worth submitting for publication.

However, he was not very familiar with writing papers. In his previous life, he had only written one paper when he was doing his undergraduate thesis.

Anyone who has been to university knows that most undergraduate theses are quite superficial, basically just slightly more complex lab reports, with little to no academic value.

This time, Xu Xiao plans to first study how other people write their papers before starting to write, determined to produce a paper that satisfies her.
