Super God-Level Top Student

"Ah?"

Looking at Edward Witten's serious expression, Yang Xuanqing realized he hadn't misheard; they genuinely didn't plan on nominating Qiao Ze. He couldn't help but ask subconsciously, "This... why not?"

Edward Witten shrugged and said, "You have no idea how proud Qiao Ze is. His exact words were, 'I don't need a Nobel Prize to prove anything. On the contrary, the Nobel Committee needs me to prove the credibility of the Nobel Prize.' That was his response when someone asked him if he would appear at next year's Nobel award ceremony if he won this year's Nobel Prize in Physics."

Upon hearing this, Yang Xuanqing also laughed, laughed so hard he couldn't close his mouth, and then said, "Professor Witten, I heard a piece of gossip, although it's highly credible. Um... that is, if someone sends Qiao Ze an email that is not about the academic issues he's interested in, the reply might not come from him personally, but from the artificial intelligence he created. That's Dou Dou."

Hearing this news, Edward Witten was also stunned.

So there was such a rumor?

But then again, it did match Qiao Ze's personality.

But to tell the truth, if that was a reply from the artificial intelligence, it was actually very consistent with the impression Qiao Ze gave him.

This AI was indeed well trained.

"So I think, if Qiao Ze doesn't win a Turing Award this year, it would be quite surprising," Edward Witten casually remarked.

Yang Xuanqing was silent, then gave a wry smile.

"I think there's no need to rush, he's still young."

Hearing this, Edward Witten seemed to feel a mysterious sense of emotion, sighed, and echoed, "Yeah, he's still young!"

...

The news of the successful discovery of the Containment Graviton spread around the globe at the speed of light.

After all, this discovery for physics was no less significant than the 2013 human discovery of the Higgs boson.

This was an absolute bombshell in the academic world.

The editor of "Science" magazine even got up in the middle of the night to put together a special feature for this news.

By the next day, almost all the well-known scholars in the physics community had received interview requests from journalists to discuss their views on the discovery of the Containment Graviton.

This was a delayed explosion effect.

There had been news before, and Qiao Ze's prediction was not wrong.

But since Qiao Ze was from Huaxia, unlike the discovery of the Higgs boson, there wasn't concrete news, and the media was not eager to spread the word without confirmation.

It's just that now, the Nuclear Research Center had confirmed the existence of the graviton, so the news couldn't be suppressed any longer.

According to normal developments, related papers would sprout up like mushrooms after rain following this kind of explosive scientific progress. If your institution didn't report it, others would.

Unspoken agreements?

Nonexistent.

You can't expect The Sun from the United Kingdom to be the first to start reporting something this serious, right? That would be truly awkward.

So, when the sun rose in the West the next day, all the major media outlets started getting flooded with this news. Of course, this was limited to the serious media.

As a well-known university professor said, "This is another big step towards revealing the mysteries of the universe for humanity."

Of course, for these Western media outlets, they knew how to diminish The East's influence.

There were plenty of little tricks, such as deliberately not mentioning the inventor of Quantum Containment Theory, but instead emphasizing the role of the European Nuclear Center in the discovery of the graviton.

Unfortunately, those who could be deceived by this were not at all interested in such news.

Does the discovery of the graviton affect my ability to earn a 22 US Dollar hourly wage every day?

Those who were interested in this news would not be easily fooled by such tactics.

When Qiao Ze officially announced the Quantum Containment Theory on Huaxia's Weibo, it had a huge impact, causing bystanders to be astonished and sparking a major discussion in the academic community. Everyone concerned with the news knew how the graviton was discovered.

Especially those international students here studying mathematical and physical sciences. No one had forgotten how miserable they were two months ago, being woken up in the middle of the night by professors to translate those abstruse diagrams.

Even now, they were still reaping the benefits of the sacrifices they made at that time. So the first ones to be stirred by this news were in this circle.

What great news!

With God Qiao's temperament, he would definitely continue to publish his papers in Chinese in the future.

This meant that their tutors who didn't understand Chinese would definitely pay more attention to them in the future.

This was a fantastic opportunity.

Wasn't this an outpouring of fortune? Prioritizing them for lab entry, including their names on papers, even graduation might become a lot easier.

It's no exaggeration to say, the importance of being proficient in both Chinese and English for study abroad life could warrant a paper at this juncture.

So, the group most eager to spread the news was this one.

These international students couldn't wait for Qiao Ze's reputation to soar even higher, to quickly win a Nobel Prize, and then wildly publish papers in Chinese.

So that their professors would become immersed in those papers daily, and their importance would be more pronounced.

Therefore, when this news started to spread across Western media, this group began to spontaneously log onto Huaxia's major internet platforms to help promote this epic achievement and express their excitement.

Many Huaxia media people indeed knew the score. Their main theme was one of a lack of confidence!

Bad news not taken seriously by Western media but happening in Huaxia could be a really big deal.
