Qiao Ze rarely went through his entire line of thought like that.
But he wasn't really speaking for Xu Dajiang to hear; it was meant for Li Jiangao, who had been sitting there all along, looking at the paper.
In Qiao Ze's mind, Xu Dajiang didn't understand much about mathematics, a conclusion he drew from the level of Liu Chenfeng's expertise.
As for Li, his mentor, of course he knew mathematics. After all, he was a researcher of Group Theory, which was a tool used in the study of number theory. Moreover, he had made use of some Group Theory in solving this problem.
Indeed, for Xu Dajiang, the question he asked earlier was just an instinctive inquiry. He wasn't particularly concerned about what exactly Qiao Ze's thought process was.
His focus was clearly off; after hearing what Qiao Ze said, the question that blurted out was, "Oh, did Su suggest that you study this conjecture?"
Qiao Ze glanced at Xu Dajiang and then silently nodded his head.
