The furor over the Algebra–Geometry Grand Unified Theory had yet to fully subside when the completion ceremony for the Lunar Hadron Collider and the related conference were about to begin.
One earth-shattering piece of news after another rolled in, dazzling people's eyes and shaking their minds, leaving them overwhelmed.
For those outside academic circles, it was not so bad. Whether it was a Grand Unified Theory or some collider, neither might be as shocking or as eagerly pursued as a press conference about the Phantom System, or even a blog update from a beta tester.
But for those within academic circles, they could clearly feel themselves being pushed forward by an immense, irresistible force.
It was as if the things they had discussed yesterday were no longer problems today, and they immediately had to confront and adapt to new questions.
Countless doctoral students had postponed their graduations. Some were forced to do so, while others applied voluntarily. After all, once the Grand Unified Theory had been completed, especially in the area of Algebraic Geometry, there was simply too much that had to be relearned.
Many had even developed anxiety disorders because of it, relying on medication to soothe their exhausted, fragile nerves.
At the same time, as the birthplace of the Grand Unified Theory and the first university to offer the course, opportunities to visit Jinling University for academic exchange had become nearly impossible to obtain.
In less than half a month, things had gone from anyone being able to register with an application to applicants lining up in long queues, with even those who had already registered needing to "pay extra."
The situation on the Physics side was roughly the same.
The completion of the Lunar Hadron Collider might not have had much impact on Jinling University's Physics department,
