Capital TV Station's education channel was broadcasting the entire lecture live.
Compared to attention-grabbing news and current affairs broadcasts, an academic lecture was relatively uninteresting. Most viewers, initially curious, soon discovered after a few minutes of watching that they completely couldn't understand it.
What would it feel like to watch an incomprehensible mathematics lecture on TV?
Online reactions were already coming in.
The Xinglang Website had set up a special live chat room to rebroadcast the educational channel's coverage and even invited former "Brain Power Burst" guest, the famous turtle scholar Li Lin, to provide commentary, helping netizens track Zhao Yi's presentation on Fermat's Last Theorem.
Li Lin and Zhao Yi had an interesting history. Back when Zhao Yi was still in high school, whether it was solving the Rubik's Cube or proving the Collatz Conjecture, Li Lin made unfavorable comments, leading the internet to dub him 'Not-a-Genius Dr. Li'.
