Chapter 654: 1 million from the Clay Mathematics Institute

A distinct entry is hanging on the Weibo hot search.

【Clay Institute officially announces Xu Qingzhou has solved the Riemann Hypothesis】

【After 22 months of rigorous verification by the global mathematical community, the Clay Mathematics Institute confirmed on March 1, 2020, that independent researcher Professor Xu Qingzhou has thoroughly proven the Riemann Hypothesis. The review committee, composed of 15 top number theory experts from the United States, Germany, the Xia Nation, and other countries (including 4 Fields Medal winners), unanimously determined that the proof strictly follows the deep-seated symmetry of the Z-function analytic continuation, and through the innovative fusion of mathematics and physics, eliminated the theoretical space for the existence of all existing counterexamples.】

No wonder.

Third on the hot search list.

Can't be low-key even if I want to.

Xu Qingzhou gasps and types clack-clack: "Routine operation, children, don't panic."

Xu Zhengyang: "Pah!"

Zhai Ziqiang: "Pah!"

Kong Xianbo: "Pah!"

Xu Zhengyang: "No, such a big thing, you didn't even tell your brothers?"

Xu Qingzhou: "I did receive a call a few days ago, but it wasn't a big deal, so I forgot."

Kong Xianbo: "Personally, I think we should kick Old Xu out; he sets up a stage for people to show off every day."

Zhai Ziqiang: "+1."

After chatting with the three people in the group for half a day, Xu Qingzhou clicks on Weibo again, browsing various comments on the internet.

"Isn't there still two months left in the two-year verification period?"

"The verification process is finished, and everything that needed to be inferred has been inferred. There is no difference between announcing it now and announcing it in two months. Announcing it now has more heat."

"The last Millennium Prize Problem solved, the Poincaré Conjecture, used a 3-year verification cycle, while Xu Qingzhou shortened the time by 40%."

"I read Xu Qingzhou's thesis. Damn, I'm a dignified mathematics PhD, and it's like reading a heavenly book. Do you dare to believe it?"

"Don't even mention the Riemann Hypothesis; even the papers Xu Shen published as an undergraduate are difficult for PhD students to read."

On this side, Song Yao has already finished reading the materials Ding Jiahui sent her and told Ding Jiahui the last few points to modify. She puts down her phone and hooks Xu Qingzhou's hem with her foot, "Are you looking at Weibo?"

"Hmm, the Clay Institute officially announced that I solved the Riemann Hypothesis."

Xu Qingzhou nods. The internet is as lively as ever, and his private message area is also 99+ messages—some asking for help to be a recommender for a rubbing website, some asking for help to look at papers, saying they solved the Goldbach Conjecture, and even some cross-dressing...

Pah~

Despicable!

Laozi has a wife!

Song Yao shifts her butt, leans over, and nests her whole body in Xu Qingzhou's arms, looking at the news with him.

"Professor Xu, if you didn't have me, would you really like... men?"

Looking at the netizens' teasing, Song Yao can't help but laugh.

"Do you want me to prove my masculinity to you?"

Xu Qingzhou is eager to move.

"No."

Song Yao chooses to avoid the edge for now. She is not feeling well at the beginning of the month and it's not easy to handle Xu Qingzhou.

The two are looking at the news when Xu Shouyun calls.

"Dad."

"Just now when your mom was scrolling through videos, she saw your name appear, saying you won a prize of 1 million US dollars?"

Xu Shouyun asks.

"Oh, right, they called me and sent an email a few days ago asking for an account number. The money isn't much, so I got busy and forgot, and only remembered today."

"..."

Xu Shouyun understands a bit why his wife often yells that this guy needs a beating.

But thinking about it carefully, he feels there is no problem.

This guy spends hundreds of millions at every turn, so seven million really isn't a large amount.

After chattering for a few sentences, telling Xu Qingzhou and Song Yao to pay attention to rest, that career is important but health is the capital, the old couple hangs up the phone.

Xu Shouyun just hung up when Dean Tao Fangqi of the Mathematics Institute calls again.

"Dean Tao."
