The Calculations Were Wrong

Sun Erxiong shared some information about the industry, then went on to do other work.

"Ou Ye, we need to speed things up." Shen Qi felt immense pressure.

"Oh." Ou Ye seemed a little listless, a stark contrast to her peak performance a while back.

Pressure breeds motivation, and Shen Qi gradually got into the swing of things. He established an estimate of the dissipation of density and potential, and then derived an iterative relationship.

Mathematics and physics are closely linked in this section, where mathematical methods are skillfully applied to solve physics problems.

For the next week, Shen Qi and Ou Ye had endless work, countless formulas to calculate, and countless theorems and lemmas to prove.

The research framework that Shen Qi had previously set was divided into four main sections.

Ou Ye was responsible for the basic calculation part of the first section, while Shen Qi was solely responsible for the application and discussion of Mathematical Physics Methods in the following three sections.

After receiving the Outstanding Student Award, Shen Qi's performance improved significantly. He fought with increasing vigor, and he has already completed 80% of the energy estimation required for the second section.

The remaining 20% requires data support, and this data comes from the basic calculation part that Ou Ye was responsible for.

Ou Ye derived the result through extensive data calculations, and this result will serve as the basis for Shen Qi's subsequent discussion in the three sections.

"Ou Ye, you've made a mistake!" Shen Qi, after reviewing Ou Ye's calculations over the past week, was visibly exasperated. "You've wasted this whole week! By the positive definite symmetry of the matrix, U^v is clearly a symmetric hyperbolic-parabolic system! Your premise is wrong; the subsequent massive calculations are meaningless. It's a very basic error!"

"Ou Ye, you got full marks in calculus, Advanced Algebra, and Analytic Geometry. You almost single-handedly completed the core journal paper, 'An Algorithm for Characteristic Equations of a Class of Determinants.' You shouldn't have made such a basic mistake. We don't have time to waste!" Shen Qi gave Ou Ye a stern reprimand, the first time they had done so much since they met.

"Then I'll recalculate." Ou Ye's progress on the first half of the first section was very smooth, but she seemed out of sorts when she entered the second half.

Just then, Shen Qi's phone rang. His phone was on the computer desk, right under Ou Ye's nose.

Ou Ye glanced at the caller ID on Shen Qi's phone: Tan Lulu.

Shen Qi answered the phone, a little impatiently. "What?"

"I'm busy, I'm not going!"

"Contact Zhou Yu'an. He's temporarily in charge of the Mathematics Department's daily affairs. Bye."

After hanging up with Tan Lulu, Shen Qi casually tossed his phone onto the table and said to Ou Ye, "Sorry, my tone was a little harsh just now. It was all for the sake of the project's progress, so please don't hold it against me."

"No." Ou Ye shook her head, her mood improving. "Give me three days, and I'll revise it until you're satisfied."

"Thank you for your hard work Ou Ye. I'll give you a big gift after this project is completed." Shen Qi comforted Ou Ye with a few words, and the atmosphere in the project office eased.

Just then, Shen Qi's phone rang again; it was Chen Xiaoting calling.

"What?"

"I'm not going!"

"What's the point of having a party? You're so bored, aren't you? Go find Xu Rui to have a party with you yourself. Bye!"

After hanging up Chen Xiaoting's call, Shen Qi snapped, "Why are women so bored, wasting their energy on meaningless things all day? I wasn't talking to you, Ou Ye, why did you turn off the computer? Are you going on strike?"

"Let's restart..." Ou Ye said weakly. She was a little afraid of Shen Qi's temper. In fact, it was the first time she had ever seen Shen Qi so irritable.

"My mind is a bit racing, and so are yours." Shen Qi calmed himself down. "We won't work on the project today. Haste makes waste. Let's go to class and relax a bit."

"Which class?" Ou Ye asked.

"You should take Real Analysis, Ou Ye. You really should listen to Professor Lu's lectures on Real Analysis. This course is different from classical Mathematical Analysis; it belongs to a more advanced category of Mathematical Analysis," Shen Qi said.

"Let's go, together." Ou Ye packed her things, putting the textbook on Real Analysis into her bag.

"I'm skipping math class; I'll go listen to Solid State Physics lecture instead." Shen Qi picked up a textbook on Solid State Physics. "We're going the same way; you go to the science building, and I'll go to the physics classroom."

The research office has practically become Shen Qi and Ou Ye's second dormitory. Recently, they moved all their materials and teaching materials to the research office, leaving their dormitory room in the main building only for showering and sleeping.

The two left the Mathematics Department together and headed towards the east gate of Yenching University.

"Is it tiring following me?" Shen Qi asked Ou Ye as they walked.

"A little, but it's worth it," Ou Ye said.

"Can your body handle it?"

"Um."

Does "hmm" mean you can handle it, or you can't?

"I can handle it."

"Then I'm relieved. You've arrived. Bye, see you this afternoon at the science building." Shen Qi said goodbye to Ou Ye and walked alone towards the east gate.

The mathematics building, the modern physics research center, the old chemistry building, and the science teaching buildings are all located together, near the east gate of the main campus.

The newly built building of the Yanjing University Physics Department is located outside the east gate of the main campus, within the Yandongyuan area. It is very impressive. After exiting the east gate, you have to cross a traffic light.

Shen Qi crossed the street and entered the Physics Building. The "Solid State Physics" course he was going to attend was a core course for physics majors. This course was very difficult and was taught in a specialized classroom in the Physics Department.

In a classroom in Building 1 of the Science Department, Ou Ye was already seated, but she seemed a little distracted.

"A social gathering? Karaoke? Did Shen Qi agree to this? What? Shen Qi had Tan Lulu contact me, and then Tan Lulu arranged for Xiao Qing to contact me? This is such a big deal, concerning the friendship between the School of Mathematics and the School of Government and Public Affairs. How can we, as younger brothers and sisters, make such a decision?" Zhou Yu'an also entered the Science Building No. 1, making a phone call as she walked.

"Let Boss Shen and Sister Tan decide it themselves. I can't access the class's activity funds. What kind of activity can a man organize without money?"

"Personally? I really don't have time, Xiao Qing. I'm currently in the rising phase of my career... Okay, I have to go to class now. It's a very important course for the Mathematics Department: Real Analysis. That's all for now, bye." Zhou Yu'an has a fan girl named Xiao Qing who has a strong liking for Zhou Yu'an.

Zhou Yu'an, who is in the prime of his career, has been very busy lately. He has to focus on his studies and handle the daily affairs of the Mathematics Department that Shen Qi assigned to him. He really doesn't have time to have coffee with Xiao Qing.

Just as Zhou Yu'an reached the classroom door, his phone rang again. "How many times have I told you? No soccer! No basketball! Shen Qi is in your Physics Department, go find him yourself! He wants you to come find me? Let me make this clear: our Mathematics Department will not have any friendly sports matches with your Physics Department. Yes, that's how it is. Bye!"

After hanging up the phone and putting it on silent, Zhou Yu'an walked into the classroom and saw Ou Ye sitting alone in the last row. He sat down next to her and said, "Ou Ye, you seem troubled."

"No." Ou Ye shook her head.

With only a few minutes left before class and the teacher still not here, Zhou Yu'an whispered to Ou Ye, "I understand, I understand everything. Shen Qi and I shared a room in high school, back during the math Olympiad. Although you've been spending all your time with Shen Qi lately, in some ways, I understand Shen Qi better than you do. Men don't understand women's hearts, and sometimes women don't understand the men around them either. Hehe, am I right?"

Zhou Yu'an smiled mysteriously, which startled Ou Ye.

"Would you like to hear men's opinions on men? And men's analysis of the women around men? Those involved are often blinded, while bystanders see things clearly, Ou Ye," Zhou Yu'an said with a smile, looking like he knew everything.

"Boring," Ou Ye immediately refused, but three seconds later she changed her mind. "Although it's boring, I don't mind listening to your nonsense."

Zhou Yu'an: "You're just saying that! If you continue to shut yourself off like this, Ou Ye, you'll never win the heart of the man you love."
