And the logistical treatment is quite good; the daily dining standard is extraordinarily high.

To make Jiang Cheng’s work more comfortable, those people went to great lengths, merely to satisfy this esteemed guest, Jiang Cheng.

While these staff members have participated in events like these before, for typical textbook compilation work, they just usually recruit a few scholars. It’s not often you find Jiang Cheng, the prominent figure, involved.

It can be said that this time, the editor-in-chief, Jiang Cheng, is the most renowned among all textbook editors.

Thus, staff members are extremely cautious, fearing they might offend the notable Jiang Cheng.

Once Jiang Cheng started his work, the other staff around him also began to busy themselves.

Jiang Cheng was mainly responsible for theoretical work, providing guidance on the major directions.

Meanwhile, the editors and other staff must handle the specific editing tasks.

A qualified textbook is quite complicated; it must include illustrations, experimental data, and extracurricular exercises to be valid.

Moreover, ensuring students understand the knowledge points in the textbooks is not a simple matter, and it requires a certain degree of editing skills.

Fortunately, these people are very experienced, having participated in numerous textbook compilation tasks, so everything proceeds very smoothly.

However, some slight issues arose during the compilation process.

The main issue is that the textbook Jiang Cheng presided over appears to be somewhat challenging, potentially making it difficult for students to learn.

The editors, well acquainted with university students’ levels, discovered that the textbook prepared by Jiang Cheng exceeded their acceptable range, fearing regular students might struggle to understand Jiang Cheng’s compiled textbooks for a while before getting the gist.

Especially the exercises Jiang Cheng included in the textbooks were frighteningly difficult, obviously challenging to solve, not something ordinary students could handle.

They believe that even doctoral students might struggle with those extracurricular exercises, not to mention this is just an undergraduate textbook.

These editors have written many textbooks, so their judgment is quite reliable.

Since experienced editors find the difficulty somewhat high, it’s evident that Jiang Cheng’s compiled textbooks are indeed challenging.

For textbooks, getting the difficulty right is crucial; if they’re too simple, they won’t effectively cultivate talent, especially in specialized fields like physics. Too simple a textbook surely won’t do.

But a textbook that’s overly difficult isn’t very suitable either; if it makes students struggle in learning, it’s not a good textbook either.

Therefore, typical textbook compilation needs to grasp the difficulty, ensuring the textbook isn’t overly simple or too difficult, avoiding learning obstacles for students.

This balance requires the editor-in-chief to manage it well, needing a clear mastery over that boundary line.

The difficulty of these physics textbooks compiled by Jiang Cheng surpassed that boundary somewhat.

His materials might only suit genius students, smoothly learning through them, while regular students might need a long time to absorb all the textbook content.

Such difficulty, in the editors’ view, isn’t very appropriate; textbooks are supposed to be used by everyone, if they only suit teaching geniuses, it certainly wouldn’t be a qualified textbook.

Once editors realized this problem, they immediately became conflicted.

If they directly mentioned it to Jiang Cheng, they felt it was somewhat inappropriate.

Doing that would be like questioning Jiang Cheng’s competence, which is not something these junior editors would want to do.

Besides, Jiang Cheng’s status is quite special; these editors are eager to curry favor with him, not to mention risking offending him.

But leaving it unaddressed isn’t a solution either, as they worry that in the end, once the textbooks are published, they might not meet the expected standards, causing serious troubles.

The higher-ups pay great attention to these textbooks, as the editors were very aware before coming.

They were carefully instructed by their director at the time regarding this textbook compilation, ensuring it must be perfectly edited without any issues arising.

If the textbooks end up poorly done, the higher-ups might not target Jiang Cheng as the editor-in-chief, but the lower staff would be in for a difficult time, likely bearing the major responsibility.

These junior editors can’t handle such responsibility; it would be disastrous for them.

Hence, the editors worried immensely, unsure of what to do.

This is the lament of being small fry, often caught in such unfortunate situations.

Eventually, an experienced editor stood up and directly approached Jiang Cheng, discussing the matter with him.

This particular editor is quite senior; he participated in compiling numerous textbooks, contributing to many college textbooks.

Only such a veteran would dare undertake such a task; others wouldn’t have the courage to approach Jiang Cheng.

When this veteran editor broached the subject with Jiang Cheng, Jiang Cheng did not feel offended.

Jiang Cheng knew this veteran editor’s history, respecting his vast contributions to education.

Moreover, he understood it was for academic good, matters he never minded.

So Jiang Cheng generously listened to the other party’s words, then expressed his own thoughts.

”Of course, I know the textbooks are somewhat challenging, appearing tough for average students,” Jiang Cheng said, ”I understand these matters thoroughly, it’s not that I am unaware.”

As it turns out, Jiang Cheng was already aware of the textbook’s difficulty, indicating his intentional decision.

”I deliberately set the difficulty slightly higher because I feel current physics textbooks are a bit too easy, not conducive to talent cultivation in physics.

So I set the difficulty as it is now to accelerate genius students’ learning, allowing them to access higher-level knowledge earlier.”

Upon hearing Jiang Cheng’s explanation, the veteran editor quickly asked: ”But what about ordinary students? I worry they won’t keep pace with the learning progress.”

The situation described by the veteran editor is indeed a concern, as while Jiang Cheng’s approach caters to faster-learning students, it poses significant challenges to ordinary students.

Upon hearing the veteran editor’s concerns, Jiang Cheng chuckled softly and said, ”I’ve considered this matter before, but I feel it’s not really a problem.”

”Physics is originally a field meant for geniuses; without sufficient talent, it’s hard to achieve anything notable in this domain.”
