To be honest, this doesn't have a big impact on Pan Jingyuan and Danis; they might even become beneficiaries.
Because the method proposed by Qiao Yu doesn't negate the core idea suggested by Danis, it just solves the problem in a different way.
However, for the other two main collaborators, the impact is huge, as it means that the part of the paper they were responsible for will no longer be used.
This is also why he suspected earlier whether Qiao Yu had any grudges with Sam and Frank.
The resolution of such an important problem in the end had nothing to do with the two professors who spent years on it. Who could stand that?
If it were him facing such a problem, Pan Jingyuan feels he might actually go crazy.
In the future, when people talk about this proposition, they might also mention these two, but only to lament that they spent so many years doing pointless work, only for the credit to go to a sixteen-year-old prodigy on the eve of success.
