"Xiao Zhu, this isn't the time to think about these things. I actually understand your thoughts; I was thinking the same way yesterday.
But after chatting with Qiao Yu today, I feel like his idea actually makes sense.
He believes that the urgent task right now isn't to sort out the entire theory, because this task is simply too large.
Think about the Generalized Modal Axiomatic System that Qiao Yu proposed earlier; including yourself, how many professors have been diligently working on extensions?
Now, a decade or so has passed, and you also know the progress. There are still a bunch of issues in fields like group theory and topology that remain unexplained.
So, Qiao Yu's idea is to first prove the key steps to resolve existing problems. There's no need for lofty ambitions for now. After all, he's still young."
Zhu Zhengze patiently listened to Tian Yanzhen and felt a headache coming on.
The elder must be muddled! Or perhaps he's been fooled by Qiao Yu.
