Could It Be Written by That Xiao Yi?

Just as the saying goes, "different trades are separated by mountains," this applies not only between different scientific fields, like Physics and Chemistry, but also within different research directions of the same science.

After hundreds of years of scientific development, each scientific field has essentially been explored to a very deep extent. This is also why we don't see universally gifted geniuses anymore in modern times.

Physics has distinctions like Relativity, Quantum Mechanics, String Theory, and so on. Mathematics also has distinctions like Number Theory, Algebraic Geometry, Topology, etc.

Unless it's a scholar with exceptional talent and energy who has dabbled in multiple areas, the vast majority of scholars will be completely bewildered when faced with problems outside their own research direction.

Therefore, facing this paper that involved Far Abelian Geometry, and seemed to be extremely in-depth, Liu Bin could only admit his helplessness.

However, even though he couldn't understand the paper, it wasn't a big problem; he could just find someone else to help.

In fact, Academician Hu could definitely understand it. Academician Hu had done extensive research in Algebraic Geometry and was also very knowledgeable about niche areas of mathematics like Far Abelian Geometry. Liu Bin remembered that Academician Hu had even written several papers on the subject, some of which were published in top-tier journals.

Furthermore, since Xiao Yi's paper was a requirement assigned by Academician Hu, he would certainly be willing to take a look.

It's just that...

Liu Bin never expected the outcome to be like this. For a paper written by a sophomore, he actually needed to call for backup.

That kid, Xiao Yi... has he really only been formally studying mathematics for a few months?

Taking a deep breath, Liu Bin organized his thoughts and sent Xiao Yi a message: "Your paper might need Academician Hu to take a look."

Xiao Yi quickly replied: "Huh? Why?"

He absolutely hadn't expected his paper would require the involvement of Academician Hu.

Liu Bin: "The Far Abelian Geometry involved in your paper is a direction I haven't researched much. So, I'm not familiar with some of the mathematical methods and theories you mentioned. In other words, I can't understand your paper, and therefore, I can't evaluate it."

Although it was a bit embarrassing to admit, Liu Bin still acknowledged that he couldn't understand Xiao Yi's paper. After all, as Xiao Yi delved deeper into mathematical research and developed a specialized direction in the future, he would surely understand why he couldn't comprehend it.

Meanwhile, Xiao Yi was stunned. Professor Liu couldn't understand his paper?

And this was a topic Professor Liu had assigned him!

Liu Bin: "But don't worry, Academician Hu has researched Far Abelian Geometry extensively and has published several papers on it, so he will definitely be able to evaluate your paper. However, it might take some time before he can give you a response."

Xiao Yi snapped out of his shock and, seeing Liu Bin's message, replied: "Okay, I understand. Thank you, Professor Liu."

"Mm." Liu Bin replied, but he couldn't help but add a remark: "But speaking of which, are you sure your paper is called 'Not Very Good'? I'll just mention a few of its strengths – perhaps even PhD students couldn't achieve them. Your argumentation is extremely rigorous, your calculation process is very smooth, and the integration of various mathematical methods is quite precise. Moreover, your writing style is also excellent. It's no wonder you scored 141 in the Gaokao Chinese Language exam. I really don't know how you define 'not very good'."

Uh.

What could Xiao Yi say? He couldn't possibly reveal to Liu Bin that a voice in his head had told him the paper was only of elementary value.

But judging by the current situation, this voice in his head seemed to have rather high standards for the value of a paper.

Even Professor Liu couldn't understand it, and it was considered only of elementary value?

Regardless, he decided to offer a vague explanation: "I thought the process of my research was a bit bumpy, and I kept getting stuck, so I felt it wasn't very good."

Liu Bin rolled his eyes. Joking aside, you're a high school student writing on such a topic, of course it would be bumpy... uh.

He suddenly fell silent.

To produce such a paper in three months, could that truly be called "bumpy"?

Forget it, I can't be bothered talking to this kid anymore.

"Alright, let's not talk about it for now. I'm going to find Academician Hu. Wait for news in the next couple of days."

"Okay, thank you for your trouble, Professor Liu."

After closing WeChat, Liu Bin immediately printed out the paper.

A 25-page paper carried quite some weight.

Then, he took the paper to Academician Hu's office.

Academician Hu usually stayed in his office, so when Liu Bin knocked, a voice from inside responded, "Come in."

Opening the door and entering, Hu Guangde glanced over and then smiled, saying, "Professor Liu, what can I do for you?"

Liu Bin gestured with the paper in his hand: "Academician Hu, I've come to trouble you to take a look at this paper."

"A paper?" Hu Guangde nodded, showing no surprise. Professors in their department often asked him to review their completed papers, to see if there were any areas for improvement or issues.

This helped to improve the overall academic quality of their Mathematics Department, so Hu Guangde generally didn't refuse.

Thus, as he took the paper, he asked, "Which project of yours has been completed?"

"Uh, it's not mine, actually it's..." Liu Bin was about to explain that it was Xiao Yi's paper, but a sudden thought struck him, and he decided to create some suspense, smiling, "You read it first, please."

Hu Guangde raised an eyebrow and chuckled, shaking his head: "Still trying to play coy with me, huh? Alright, I'll take a look then."

He then opened the paper and looked at the first page.

"Hmm... Non-singular Analytic and Absolute Remote Abelian Conjecture?"

"This should be something you wrote, right? I remember assigning this topic to you back then."

Liu Bin blinked, then recalled that this topic was indeed assigned by Hu Guangde, but it was a long time ago. Later, because the paper involved knowledge of Far Abelian Geometry, it had gathered dust in his project database.

At that moment, the value of this paper increased again in his mind, making him even more curious about how well Xiao Yi had written his paper.

So he said, "You read it first. As for who wrote this paper, I guarantee it'll be a surprise."

"A surprise?" Hu Guangde glanced at him. "Could it be that Xiao Yi wrote it?"

Liu Bin froze.

How could he guess so accurately?

But Hu Guangde shook his head again, "No, it shouldn't be Xiao Yi. How long has he been studying? To write this kind of paper, it would already be incredibly rare for him to be able to write the paper for a core journal that I told him about back then. He's a once-in-a-million genius."

Liu Bin chuckled.

"Alright, alright, first we eliminate one correct answer."
