Does "Do the exact solution" mean "follow exactly the solution/the way of solving the problem"?

Context:
The wormhole addition checks out, says Van Raamsdonk, and he has fleshed out a concrete
example in which a black hole radiates away half of its mass via a process called Hawking radiation,
and then that radiation itself collapses to form a second black hole. "Now you have two black holes,
maximally entangled," says Van Raamsdonk. "Do the exact solution and you find you have two black
holes connected by a wormhole." That ups the likelihood that space-time's bendy structure comes
from entanglement (R)C and that wormholes do too arxiv.org/abs/1307.1796).
