Highlights at international conferences

Sunlight filtered through the gap in the hotel curtains, falling on Ye Qiu's Face. He abruptly sat up from the bed, a hint of nervousness and anticipation in his eyes. Today was the day he was scheduled to speak at the International Physics Academic Exchange Conference.

Ye Qiu got up and walked to the window, pulling back the curtains. He looked at the bustling international city outside, took a deep breath, and muttered to himself, "I need to perform well today; I can't lose our Face!"

He recalled the countless sleepless nights he had endured for this conference, the days he had frantically absorbed knowledge with the help of the System, and a firm belief surged within him.

After meticulously washing up, Ye Qiu put on a crisp suit and adjusted his tie. In the mirror, his eyes were firm, radiating confidence. He picked up the folder containing his research findings and left the room.

Stepping into the conference hall, Ye Qiu was immediately enveloped by the strong academic atmosphere. Inside, top physicists from around the world were conversing in small groups, their Faces filled with a love for knowledge and a dedication to academia. Ye Qiu's gaze swept over the long-renowned academic luminaries, feeling both excited and nervous, silently anticipating his moment to shine. He walked steadily towards his designated seat, overhearing a discussion about the latest research on quantum entanglement. He couldn't help but prick up his ears and listen for a few moments, secretly comparing it with his own research.

The conference began, and physicists from various countries took turns presenting their research findings. Their research directions covered multiple Domains, including quantum physics, astrophysics, and condensed matter physics; each report was an eye-opener for Ye Qiu. Some scholars elucidated the origin of the Universe through complex mathematical models, while others showcased the peculiar behavior of microscopic particles observed in laboratories. Ye Qiu listened, mentally organizing his own content, occasionally sketching in his notebook, thinking about how to make his presentation even more outstanding. He knew that although his upcoming research was unique, in front of these top scholars, he had to be absolutely flawless.

Finally, it was Ye Qiu's turn to go on stage. He took a deep breath and walked steadily to the podium. The hall instantly fell silent, and countless eyes, filled with curiosity and scrutiny, turned towards him. Ye Qiu adjusted the microphone and began in fluent English: "Distinguished Seniors and colleagues, today I would like to share some of my research on the connection between quantum physics and the macroscopic world..." His voice was clear and confident, immediately captivating the attention of the audience.

Ye Qiu further deepened his previous lecture's achievements, incorporating new thoughts and research from this period. He spoke vividly, occasionally complementing his words with lively gestures. As he spoke, the audience gradually became engrossed, their initially skeptical gazes becoming focused. He meticulously introduced his proposed energy conversion model, from its theoretical foundation to its envisioned practical applications, explaining every detail thoroughly.

Just as Ye Qiu was explaining the crucial energy conversion model, an elderly, white-haired professor in the audience suddenly raised his hand to ask a question. This professor was an authority in the field of quantum physics, and his research had a profound impact on the entire academic community. The old professor, speaking in heavily accented English, said, "Young man, your theory sounds very interesting, but the energy conversion process you propose seems to violate the existing law of conservation of energy. How do you explain this?"

As soon as the question was posed, all eyes in the room refocused on Ye Qiu, and the atmosphere instantly became tense. Ye Qiu, however, remained calm. A familiar golden light flashed in his eyes, and his Golden Eyes began to operate at high speed, analyzing the crux of the problem. Simultaneously, the System quickly retrieved relevant knowledge in his mind, providing him with ideas. Ye Qiu chuckled inwardly, "Hehe, thankfully I have the System's help. Watch me give a perfect answer to this question and put on a spectacular show-off!"

Ye Qiu smiled and replied, "Professor, your question is very crucial. The traditional law of conservation of energy is based on our existing cognitive framework, but in the model I propose, there exists a microscopic energy form that has not yet been fully understood. Under specific conditions, this energy participates in macroscopic energy conversion in a unique way..." As Ye Qiu explained, he used the "Thought Materialization" skill to display the trajectories and conversion processes of microscopic energy particles in the air. The three-dimensional images appeared clearly in mid-air, colorful and vibrant, like a wondrous light and shadow show. The particles twinkled with faint light, traversing and colliding according to specific rules, vividly demonstrating the energy conversion process.

The audience members below showed surprised expressions, whispering and discussing among themselves. "Detecting widespread shock! prestige value +399!" The System's notification sounded in Ye Qiu's mind, making him inwardly ecstatic, though outwardly he maintained a calm and composed smile. The old professor also nodded slightly, a hint of admiration in his eyes.

However, the challenge was not over. In the subsequent Q&A session, various thorny questions came one after another. Some questioned the reliability of his experimental data, while others raised doubts about the practical applications of his theory. But Ye Qiu, relying on the precise analysis of questions by his Golden Eyes and the knowledge reserves provided by the System, skillfully responded to each one. Whenever a question was posed, relevant knowledge and counter-strategies would quickly flash through Ye Qiu's mind. His answers were logically rigorous and well-supported. After answering each question, Ye Qiu could hear the System notification of gaining prestige value, and the numbers continuously climbed, strengthening his sense of accomplishment.

When answering a question about practical applications, Ye Qiu said, "To verify my theory, I have conducted multiple simulated experiments with the help of the System. Please see..." As he spoke, he used the "Thought Materialization" skill to display a series of dynamic images of simulated experiments. From the setup of the experiment and the collection of data to the analysis of the results, every step was clearly presented. In the images, the experimental equipment operated precisely, data constantly fluctuated, and ultimately converged into powerful conclusions. The physicists in the audience were stunned, their mouths slightly agape, showing expressions of disbelief. "Detecting widespread shock! prestige value +499!" Ye Qiu almost couldn't help but laugh out loud; he felt he had completely taken control of the stage.

As Ye Qiu's presentation continued, applause and exclamations of admiration rose and fell in the audience. Even the physicists who had initially been skeptical of him had to admit that this young scholar possessed extraordinary talent and unique insights. Some scholars began to record Ye Qiu's points in their notebooks, while others engaged in lively discussions with those beside them, filled with interest in his research.

After the conference, many physicists gathered around Ye Qiu to exchange ideas, expressing great interest in his research. Several renowned professors even invited Ye Qiu to participate in their scientific research projects, which was a great honor for a young scholar. Ye Qiu, while dealing with everyone's questions, silently checked his prestige value, which had accumulated to a considerable number. He was eagerly anticipating the System unlocking new abilities or tasks. He politely responded to everyone, but his mind was already envisioning future research directions.

Ye Qiu thanked everyone for their recognition, his heart filled with a sense of accomplishment. He knew that this international conference was not only a test of his abilities but also a brand new starting point. And his show-off system had quietly upgraded during this process; new tasks and challenges might be waiting for him not far away. Ye Qiu was already eager to embrace the next glory and continue to speed ahead on the Dao of showing off.
