Chapter 443: Unveiling the Mystery of the Riemann Hypothesis

~8 min read 1,479 words

Everyone's eyes were on Xu Qingzhou.

Although most people couldn't understand the proof process, they all knew the meaning of the last row of formulas—it wasn't an estimation, not a speculation, but a true proof!

The lecture hall remained very quiet.

But everyone's eyes were different from before: excited, thrilled, admiring...

Especially a white-haired old gentleman next to Professor Roberts in the back row of the classroom, whose eyes were already covered with a layer of tears.

He took a deep breath and said with a gentle smile: "If nothing goes wrong, we have successfully unveiled this problem that has plagued humanity for over 160 years."

Wow~

Warm applause erupted in the lecture hall.

"Xu Qingzhou, long live!"

"You are my idol forever!"

Young people began to cheer, using their phones to record this great moment.

Xu Qingzhou waited for the excited voices to calm down a bit before saying: "I'm very sorry for delaying everyone's lunch time. If you are interested in the content, you can follow the subsequent paper."

After watching the excitement, the students in the audience didn't stay long.

"Let's go, I'm going to tell Alex. Haha, I can already imagine the expression on his face when he regrets not coming to class with me!"

"Hehe, I've already posted it on Twitter."

After witnessing the proof, Sun Simin and the others didn't stay long, came up to greet him, and then left one after another.

"Congratulations." Professor Roberts and several professors walked up.

"Thank you, Professor. Thank you for your help." Xu Qingzhou thanked him. Over the past six months, Professor Roberts had given many opinions, especially on complex analysis.

"Mr. Xu, thank you for letting us see a wonderful proof."

The old man next to Professor Roberts exclaimed.

"Thank you."

The other two also praised him.

Professor Roberts said: "Although we really want to ask you to explain some questions to us now, it is clear that you have more important things to do, such as eating."

"Yes, I will organize the paper as soon as possible." Xu Qingzhou nodded and said. After more than two hours of high-intensity calculation, now that he was resting, hunger and exhaustion surged up.

"We are also looking forward to it."

Xu Qingzhou responded to them one by one with a smile. Roberts and the others didn't continue to chat with Xu Qingzhou; now, the equations on the whiteboard at the front of the classroom were more interesting than boring socializing.

Sure enough, after greeting Xu Qingzhou, they all went together to continue the verification.

Xu Qingzhou turned to look at Bakesi Kaisen and said with a gentle smile: "Sorry, you might have to find time to explore the path of solving the Riemann Hypothesis using a purely physical approach on your own."

"Hmm, I will continue to walk down this path. However, I still have to add a sentence: I am very lucky to have witnessed the birth process of the Riemann Theorem."

Kaisen shook his head and said slowly.

"Me too."

Xu Qingzhou shrugged.

There were few people left in the classroom. Xu Qingzhou said something to Horn and also packed his things to leave.

Professor Roberts and the others didn't leave but were studying Xu Qingzhou's proof of the Riemann Hypothesis in the classroom.

The proof of a mathematical conjecture is a very serious matter.

Even if there were no problems with Xu Qingzhou's calculation process just now, it still required more rigorous verification.

"I can already imagine that this classroom will be a holy land for mathematicians in the future." Horn stood with several friends and sighed.

"Yeah, I can't understand it at all."

"Knowledge is like my ex-girlfriend, floating through my mind, but leaving nothing behind."

Walking out of the lecture hall, Xu Qingzhou decided to call Song Yao first.

There were three messages on WeChat, all from School Beauty Song.

A photo of lunch.

Song Yao: Delicious.

Song Yao: Xu Qingzhou, you didn't reply to my message (fist).

Worthy of being School Beauty Song. When other girls say this, it might be a coquettish "ying-ying," but School Beauty Song is a threat.

The phone beeped twice, and School Beauty Song's voice sounded.

"Hmm?"

Xu Qingzhou: "I've got it."

Song Yao: "Congratulations."

Xu Qingzhou: "Congratulations to us both."

Song Yao didn't mess around with him anymore: "Tell me, what's the matter, so busy that you didn't even reply to the message."

Xu Qingzhou said with a smile: "The Riemann Hypothesis, it's proven."

There was a slight pause on Song Yao's end, and her pleasant voice came through: "Congratulations."

Xu Qingzhou: "Congratulations to us both. To celebrate, let's eat something good tonight."

Song Yao: "Hmm, okay, let's eat at home. I'll be back early."

"Hoo~"

Outside the office, Song Yao's brows relaxed. She was happy for Xu Qingzhou in her heart. This guy... is really amazing.

Kaelier walked over with coffee.

At that moment just now, she saw the smile that flashed across Song Yao's face, very beautiful. "Hi, Song, any good news?"

"He said he solved the Riemann Hypothesis." Song Yao didn't hide it.

"..."

"What!"

Kaelier was stunned. "Are you sure? He proved the Riemann Hypothesis!"

Song Yao nodded.

"Wait, Song, aren't you a bit too calm?" Kaelier said.

"Hmm, maybe, I'm used to it."

Song Yao said in a deep voice.

"..."

Kaelier was speechless for a moment. She was also used to it. These two people put so much pressure on others.

She walked away with her coffee: "No, no, I have to check the forum. I dare say, the forum tonight will definitely explode!"

Song Yao rested her chin on her hand, still thinking about her boyfriend.

Cramer's conjecture, Twin Prime conjecture, Polignac's conjecture...

Xu Qingzhou is a pervert.

Oh, right, based on her understanding of this person, he might want some reward tonight.

Too messy.

Song Yao spat secretly. She couldn't cooperate with some of Xu Qingzhou's strange behaviors, but today was indeed a good day. Even if she cooperated a little... it didn't seem like much...

No, she couldn't.

Xu Qingzhou was on MIT Avenue, ate at a random restaurant, and went home. Having actually figured out the conjecture, he was surprisingly not that excited.

Actually, the paper on the zero estimation of the Riemann Hypothesis was already almost organized.

But after Xu Qingzhou re-proved it, half of the content had to be discarded.

He spread out the brand-new manuscript and started writing slowly.

Maybe the excitement was definitely fake. Beyond that, there was perhaps more of a sense of relief. If not for the burst of inspiration this morning...

He scratched Er Miao's chin and focused his attention on the manuscript in front of him.

At three in the afternoon, Song Yao came back.

The two tidied up simply and went out to buy groceries.

Xu Qingzhou took her soft hand, smooth and delicate, he could never touch enough.

"You just proved it like that?" Song Yao turned to look at her boyfriend who was not very serious.

"This morning, someone asked me about the problem of solving the Riemann Hypothesis using a physical approach. I took a look, and isn't that what I'm researching? I just handed the heavy responsibility to him... No way, a flash of inspiration..."

Xu Qingzhou recounted his glorious deeds a bit boastfully.

"Pfft, shameless."

Although she admitted in her heart that Xu Qingzhou was very amazing, Song Yao didn't say so on her lips.

Xu Qingzhou wasn't worried about anyone stealing the content. There were forty or fifty people on the scene, Professor Roberts, Professor Brian, Professor Sanders... so many big shots in the mathematical community were on the scene.

The two crossed three streets and went to the Chinese grocery store to buy groceries.

After Xu Qingzhou finished his chores, he leaned against the door frame and watched School Beauty Song work. Song Yao was dressed very simply, high-waisted jeans paired with a white T-shirt, and her temperament was quite good.

Now she was even wearing an apron, her hair tied up, and a sense of a wife came rushing at him, making Xu Qingzhou's hands itch, wanting to go over and pat her.

"Teacher Xu."

"Hmm?"

But Song Yao had long noticed her boyfriend's little movements, and with a warm smile on her face: "If your claws dare to reach over... Heh."

"..."

Having a beautiful, violent girlfriend is just this miserable.

Xu Qingzhou stopped resentfully, turned around and left the kitchen, going to fetch the red wine he bought last time.

It was suitable for a small drink. Wine is something that is best when slightly tipsy, especially between couples, it adds a little interest.

School Beauty Song, who has had a little wine, is easier to handle.

Hehe, no matter how hard... strong you are now, you will have to be soft tonight.
