Super God-Level Top Student-Chapter 378 - 192: Arguing and Unheard Forms of Algebra_3

```

Xilin had truly never once single-handedly hosted so many scholars, and the vast majority of them were top researchers in mathematics and theoretical physics from around the world.

It was inevitable, after the initial list of visiting scholars was confirmed, to echo Xu Dajiang’s sentiment that if a bomb were to go off during Qiao Ze’s report, it would be enough to set back scientific progress across the world by a century.

Thankfully, this invitation was extended to top theoretical researchers, because in the current environment, it was very probable that many others would simply be unable to attend.

After confirming the preliminaries list of a hundred top lecturers, Xilin University of Technology published the news on their official website and opened the application channel for the lecture.

This decision was made after Xu Dajiang consulted with Qiao Ze and discussed it with the dean of the Physics College and several academicians of the university.

The specially invited top scholars were naturally free of charge to attend, but other individuals who wanted to participate in this academic event could do so, too, provided they paid. After all, organizing a lecture of such high standards comes at a significant cost.

The plan was for the lecture to last two and a half days with an audience of about a thousand people.

The first day would consist of the opening ceremony and Qiao Ze’s report, the second day would feature a series of exchanges among mathematicians, and the official meeting would end after the closing ceremony on the morning of the third day. However, for some specially invited scholars, there would be additional on-campus activities in the afternoon.

The potential concern of not having enough people sign up led to a lot of deliberation and the adoption of a pre-registration strategy, where the attendance fee was not initially disclosed.

However, once the list of confirmed attendees was announced on the official website, the pre-registration applications exceeded three thousand within just two days.

Heaven knows whether so many people were coming for the report or just to familiarize themselves with the academic bigwigs.

Now Xu Dajiang was fully confident.

He directly announced the previously agreed maximum fee of 700 US Dollars and began the pre-screening of applicants.

In other words, because of the excessive number of applications, the seven hundred dollars were not guaranteed to be spent just by signing up.

If the fee was not received within forty-eight hours after the application was approved, it was treated as a forfeit of the opportunity to attend, freeing up the spot for someone else.

It had to be acknowledged that this sum was not insignificant.

After all, there were no paper evaluations or poster presentations arranged, merely the cost of attending and two nights’ accommodation, with food only included for the buffet dinner on the first day. If there were about a thousand people willing to pay, then not only would the lecture not be at a loss, but it could even turn a slight profit.

Once eighty percent of the registration fees were received within twenty-four hours for the first batch of pre-screened applicants, Xu Dajiang was completely relieved.

Xilin University’s reputation had been thoroughly established through this lecture.

With so many mathematicians and physicists and top international journal editors in attendance, future acquaintance with Xilin University’s name could result in a different level of respect? It meant that students from Xilin University’s School of Mathematics and Physics College would be held in higher regard when looking to study abroad in the future.

And, of course, there were no worries about attracting high-quality international students.

As long as Qiao Ze stayed at Xilin University of Technology, he was bound to become the emblem of the university.

Pressure?

Nonexistent!

Xu Dajiang was full of drive, as if he had become twenty years younger.

...

In the Capital, He Danchang had finally waited for the best opportunity.

Even though he hadn’t spoken to Qiao Ze in some time, he had been keeping a close eye on every move Qiao Ze made.

So many things beyond imagination. Read exclusive adventures at novelbuddy

Having graduated long ago and always working as an editor, who would have thought that it wasn’t until his forties that he would re-experience the splendid complexity of the academic world.

Not an understatement, these were experiences he never had when he was a student.

But at this age, he had finally gained a different understanding.

The previous exclusive interview draft was also determined to be published in the next day’s Everybody Daily after the last revision.

The title was finally settled as "The Genius Dimension—An Exclusive Interview with Qiao Ze".

The title might seem ordinary, but for an article to be published in Everybody Daily, it couldn’t be too sensational. Articles here just needed to show an attitude. The rest would be interpreted by countless media outlets in this era.

He Danchang had actually attended the two lectures Qiao Ze gave at Huaqing and Yanbei Universities, although he had quietly sat at the edge of both venues.

So, in the final version of the draft, combining the recent online controversies, he included Qiao Ze’s response to artificial intelligence from the Huaqing University lecture.

And quoted it directly without changing a word.

"The birth of strong artificial intelligence relies on the regularity problems of mathematics, and the future super artificial intelligence will be the same. Mathematical logic determines the limitations and predictability of the thinking patterns of artificial intelligence... If humans cannot control the intelligence they create, then there is nothing to be said even if they are enslaved."

Then he added his own commentary, "Mathematics has no good or evil, so naturally, neither does artificial intelligence built on its foundation! Before we are persuaded to give up on exploring artificial intelligence, perhaps we should also advise others to abandon similar research?"

That was probably enough; from the newspaper’s perspective, there was no need to make things clearer.

Whether this would spark a new round of debate did not concern He Danchang.

If the piece had passed through multiple reviews, it sufficiently indicated the newspaper’s stance. He was just an ordinary senior reporter, after all.
