If there wasn’t this usual accumulation, a sudden breakthrough would be impossible.

Only those who endure such dullness can ultimately reap the most beautiful fruits.

However, Jiang Cheng and his team are always able to adapt to this monotony, adjusting their mentality to move forward.

Soon, Jiang Cheng and their mundane research life will be over, and the upcoming work won’t be as tedious as before.

Previously, Jiang Cheng and Yang Jiqian had been collecting relevant data in preparation for the final summary research.

Almost every theory is born like this—for studying something unknown.

First, you must gather relevant information about it and conduct various tests to derive all relevant data.

Then, use this data to form theoretical conjectures and employ mathematical tools for comprehensive deduction to arrive at a complete theory about it.

Finally, use some experiments to verify the theory and see if it aligns with all the rules.

If the theory is correct, it will match all the experimental data.

If the theory is wrong, you have to repeat the previous work and make a new theoretical conjecture.

Theoretical research work is that dull; it requires repeated attempts before arriving at the correct theory.

However, if you can arrive at a correct theory, then no matter how many times you try, it is worth it.

The fear is that if all the theories turn out to be wrong, then all the previous work would have been in vain.

Every new theory appearing consumes a lot of scientists’ energy.

Scientists need to construct a perfect system from scratch, which must also align with all the laws of Nature.

Thus, discovering a new theory is so difficult, as it is a creation from nothing, and creation is always the hardest, far more difficult than transformation.

Now, Jiang Cheng and his team have collected enough data and can begin the work of conjecture and speculation.

With the most boring part of the research over, interesting things are lined up next for Jiang Cheng and his team.

Now, Jiang Cheng already holds a lot of data on dark matter, from which he can discover many things and use them to infer the essence of dark matter.

Although this work of theoretical speculation is far more interesting than data collection, it is the place that tests a scientist’s talent the most.

Scientists with average talent often get stuck at this point, holding a pile of data without knowing where to start.

Only those with true talent can find their inspiration among vast amounts of data and eventually deduce a theory that fits mathematical rules.

It is a type of creative work that requires inspiration, which not everyone can do.

The biggest difference between a genius and an ordinary person lies in this creativity.

Luckily, Jiang Cheng’s physics lab is never short of talent; Jiang Cheng’s own demon-level talent goes without saying.

Yang Jiqian also has a talent in this area and will not be stumped by this problem.

Therefore, Jiang Cheng and his team are not afraid of the conjecture theory stage; with endless inspiration, they can conceive a multitude of theoretical frameworks.

But their problem is that they come up with so many theories, to the point that verifying them wastes considerable time.

After completing all the data collection work, Jiang Cheng and Yang Jiqian started their respective tasks, speculating on many eccentric theoretical models.

They independently conceived different theories and then analyzed all theoretical models together to see which model best aligns with the essence of dark matter.

Once they completed their work, they found that both had come up with far too many theoretical models.

Now it’s time for Jiang Cheng and his team to consolidate; each holds a thick stack of draft papers during a meeting in the lab.

The stack of draft papers in their hands is filled with various mathematical symbols and physical formulas, indicating the complexity of the content.

If a mediocre student were to see it, they would probably find it terrifying.

Jiang Cheng, seeing the draft papers in Yang Jiqian’s arms, knew she had likely conceived several theoretical models as well.

When Yang saw Jiang Cheng, she noticed the stack of draft papers in his hands was even thicker than hers, realizing Jiang Cheng had probably proposed more theoretical models than she did.

This situation is quite awkward; where others consider conceiving theoretical models difficult, they find themselves overwhelmed with too many.

It must be known that each theoretical model, once conjectured, requires considerable effort later on.

What they have is merely some preliminary conjectures, needing thorough deduction with mathematical tools.

Lastly, a great number of experiments are necessary to verify each theory to obtain the final results.

Handling the theoretical conjectures in hand alone likely wastes a significant amount of time.

The two now looked at each other with stacks of draft papers in hand, unsure of how to start today’s conversation.

But they couldn’t just stand frozen, so Jiang Cheng took the initiative to speak: ”I came up with seven theoretical models of dark matter, all seem problem-free, ready for the next step in mathematical deduction.

I believe among these seven theoretical models, there is surely a correct theory that can explain all problems related to dark matter.

Jiang Cheng expressed this with a mysterious self-confidence, though it remains unclear how he knows he’s right.

Seeing Jiang Cheng introduce his research situation, Yang Jiqian, not to be outdone, said: ”I’ve conceived five theoretical models, though fewer than yours, I’ve got them all here.

”I believe within these five theoretical models lies the essence of dark matter, sure to harbor major discoveries.”

Yang Jiqian also wore an enigmatic confidence, very confident in the theoretical models she speculated.

They are both deeply confident in their theories, firmly believing theirs is the most correct.

Apparently, having too much of anything—even theories—poses issues.

Jiang Cheng and his team now face the biggest problem: which one of their theories is actually correct.

Both seem enigmatically confident, making it tough to know who to believe.

Don’t think this issue is negligible; it’s a matter of principle.

As scholars, neither would compromise on such matters.

Even in these issues, Yang Jiqian insists her views that her theory is the most correct.
