Super God-Level Top Student

The compromise was that Uncle Li's project this year was basically up to him.

For Qiao Ze, this had already achieved the goal. Continue reading stories on empire

Being a judge in reality was quite a hassle.

So Qiao Ze sent back a one-word email: "Good!"

Just at that moment, Su Mucheng returned to his office and showed two fingers to him, saying, "It's done, Brother Liu agreed!"

Qiao Ze nodded, a very smooth day indeed.

...

United States, California, San Francisco.

Tim Cook also felt that today would surely go smoothly when he got up early in the morning.

Because today he had come especially to sign a groundbreaking agreement.

Apple would reach a cooperation agreement with OpenAI LP, with the large language model based on ChatGPT4.0 directly landing on iOS, the specific way it would be integrated had not been determined yet, but currently, the engineers were more inclined to follow Youwei's pattern, upgrading Siri's voice system to grant Apple devices a soul.

There was no choice, ever since Youwei Group's Qunzhi System launched, Youwei's terminal products almost went crazy with sales.

Especially since Youwei Group had already announced that at the end of October, it would connect the Qunzhi System with other Youwei devices. Centered on smartphones, controlling all other devices through smart voice command, truly beginning to allow all things to interconnect through AI, who could stand it?

Moreover, Youwei Group was powering ahead in car machine technology, and recently, no one in Huaxia could match its prominence.

For Apple, the most troubling problem was losing shares of the smartphone market, even to the point of stock prices dropping on the same day they were released.

This was almost unimaginable five years ago, but now it had become a reality.

As everyone knows, in this era, smartphones are the soul and core of a series of smart wearables and office devices.

Smartphones need to be compatible with laptops, tablets, smart watches, glasses, earphones... and so on, with a range of smart devices.

When smartphone sales start to slide, it means the devices across the entire ecosystem begin to falter.

According to a market survey commissioned by Apple to a third party, the conclusion was that thirty-seven percent of Apple users aged 20-40 in Huaxia had already bought or were trying to buy Youwei's M60 series due to the upgrade of the Qunzhi smart voice system this year, and another twenty-eight percent of users were watching and waiting.

Meanwhile, seventy-three percent of users expressed dissatisfaction with the stupidity of Siri.

This was indeed quite awkward.

When everyone's technology was roughly the same, users could actually tolerate it.

But with the technological gap widening now, the once sweet Siri had abruptly become an irritating burden.

So, even though it cost a great deal, he still approved the cooperation.

This money had to be spent!

Especially since he was invited last week to experience the newly added voice conversation feature of ChatGPT4.0.

It was truly advanced.

At least for now, the experience was not inferior to Youwei's Qunzhi System, and could even be said to be better.

Besides casual chatting, ChatGPT4.0's voice function, once upgraded, added many features, such as mainstream language learning, real-time voice translation, and it could even perform a stand-up comedy act for the audience.

This was also why Apple had accelerated the negotiation pace with OpenAI LP this week.

To this end, they even spent a substantial amount of money to settle things with Microsoft, who had been consistently funding that company.

Finally, today everything was settled.

Once the agreement is signed, both sides will start collaborating on the product's integration into Apple's smartphones.

Surely the whole world would celebrate this exciting news, wouldn't they?

...

Although Zhang Hongcai's email to Qiao Ze did not contain a single affirmative sentence, the next morning at nine o'clock, the National Natural Science Foundation's information bulletin board still added a new notification.

```

That's right, it's the notification about Qiao Ze becoming the new expert for the expert database. Very formal, and there was even a specific public announcement period.

As soon as the news was released, various outlets immediately picked it up and re-posted it.

Can't help it, Qiao Ze's topic is still very hot right now.

And judging from the reaction online, the hype about Qiao Ze will at least last until his paper is officially published on the electronic version of "Mathematics Annual".

This can be seen from the fact that the big shots at Pseudo-Science Bar are already rubbing their hands together, ready to hitch a ride on Qiao Ze's coattails.

"I've said it before, academic credentials don't represent one's capability to research. Qiao Ze graduated from high school at eighteen and managed to achieve such a level in mathematics; this is the best illustration. The only difference between him and me is that he has received recognition from a patron, while I haven't yet!"

But there is actually a reason for this. Qiao Ze's research doesn't undermine the fundamentals of the mainstream academic world. Whereas my research has completely overturned the foundation of modern mathematics, so naturally, they wouldn't dare to promote my paper. But I believe that one day my research will be known to the world!"

"It should be tonight, after Qiao Ze's paper is published, I will immediately download it and then explain it to everyone. Stay tuned!"

You can choose not to believe in the research results of these confident bros, but you really can't ignore their ability to stir things up online.

Although the Fields Medal winners have advised many mathematicians on Facebook that they probably won't understand Qiao Ze's paper at first glance, this clearly doesn't include these super-confident big shots.

As for the online onlookers who are just here for the spectacle, even after seeing a bit of Qiao Ze's first paper, everyone is pretty sure they won't understand the even more difficult second paper.

But that's not a problem.

Everyone can understand what the other mathematicians have posted.

It's said that Qiao Ze's first paper was criticized for the premature promotional hype by "Mathematics Annual", so we can wait and see if Qiao Ze's second paper will also be criticized by the mathematicians to know.

After yesterday's frenzy, a lot of the rationalists popped back up today, discussing the possibility of the Fields Medal winners' destructive patronage, considering how young Qiao Ze still is.

And then another group started arguing.

Every day there are all sorts of controversies, each different from the last.

From whether Qiao Ze is really a genius to what the world really thinks of him; from the quality of Qiao Ze's paper to whether he deserves to be an expert. And then there's whether Qiao Ze will go abroad, and the issue of too much seniority-based hierarchy within China...

Online, people argue so fiercely that it seems they could bring a dog's brain to life.

Meanwhile, Xilin University of Technology is starting to change a bit, with many vloggers looking to shoot content for social media.

Actually, Xilin University of Technology's main campus is relatively conservative in campus management. Both students and staff members need to scan their faces or swipe their cards to enter the campus. Outsiders must register.

But given the sheer size of the campus, there are always some areas that go unmanaged.

Especially at Changlin Campus, if you communicate your purpose in advance to a student and offer some cash, there are always those willing to help sneak you into campus.

After all, young students are generally more accepting of things like live broadcasting.

And most of the streamers are young people too, even college students themselves.

Once these streamers make it into the campus, they naturally hope to find out where Qiao Ze, the current hot topic, is located.

But in a campus with tens of thousands of people, running into a specific person is indeed a tough task, so they begin various impromptu interviews.

"Hi, are you from the School of Mathematics and Statistics?"

"No, I'm not. The School of Mathematics is over there. This is the School of Aeronautics."

"Oh, thank you. Do you know Qiao Ze?"

"Of course, dare 'God Qiao' has many nicknames around school—Xilin University of Technology's acknowledged number one prodigy, the ender of all brags, the nightmare of freshmen, the crusher of the School of Mathematics, and even 'professors' bane'..."

"Wait a second, what does 'professors' bane' mean?"

"It means even the professors are scared of him."

"Haha, thanks. Do you know where I might run into Qiao Ze?"

"Based on the messages on BBS, 'God Qiao' generally skips his specialized classes. But you're in luck, today is Tuesday, and according to his classmates, the only class you can catch 'God Qiao' in is the political science class on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons, though I don't know their exact class time."

"Thank you."
