The unparalleled talent of the country started from Harbin Institute of Technology

April 30, 1988, Tianhe District, Guangzhou, an island in the middle of the Pearl River.

Inside the villa, Wang Duoyu was chatting on the phone with his son, who was far away in Harbin.

"Dad, it's still snowing here, and it's snowing heavily."

Today is Saturday, and tomorrow is Labor Day, but Wang Junhong has no intention of heading south to Guangzhou.

He's really let loose these past two weeks.

On weekends, he will be picked up and taken to learn how to fly a plane.

There are many types of aircraft in China. Given Wang Junhong's qualifications, he cannot learn to fly fighter jets yet; he can only learn to fly light trainer aircraft.

Moreover, he cannot fly yet and needs to undergo two years of indoor training before he can proceed to the next stage of training.

Since he was assigned to the military, the standards were naturally the strictest.

"Yes, I heard. Your mother said last night that the weather forecast for Harbin is heavy snow."

It's the last day of April. People in Guangzhou in the south have been wearing short sleeves for a long time, but it's still snowing heavily in Harbin.

Really, it’s so outrageous that he opened the door for outrageous people.

"But are you really not going to come to Guangzhou for a couple of days?"

Upon hearing his father's words, Wang Junhong refused without hesitation.

Having finally escaped his parents' control and was able to decide his own life, of course he wouldn't run away to Guangzhou.

"Alright, then take good care of yourself. If you need anything, just tell your aunt."

Wang Duoyu's eighth sister is in Harbin, helping to look after this little guy, Wang Junhong.

As for the other relatives of the Wang family, Wang Duoyu wasn't very close to them.

His closest relatives were probably his two younger sisters, and then his eighth sister.

After hanging up the phone, Wang Duoyu smiled, chatted with Liu Xiaoli and the others for a few minutes, and then returned to his study.

On the desk, there were many papers, densely covered with numerous mathematical formulas.

Following the linear matrix method and weighted integral method, Wang Duoyu switched to a matrix transformation method and a numerical approximation method.

The matrix transformation method uses the principles and properties of matrix transformations to transform the Riemann Hypothesis into a matrix problem for proof.

This method has yielded some results, but not many.

Overall, this method is not much different from the linear matrix method and the weighted integral method.

Actually, by this point, Wang Duoyu himself was somewhat frustrated.

He spent the last few days in Nanxun Ancient Town.

The flowers and plants in the ancient town are very beautiful, even more so than before.

As a result, Wang Duoyu was in a much better mood, but this did not mean that he had gained any inspiration in the process of advancing the Riemann Hypothesis.

After arriving in Guangzhou, he came up with the idea of ​​numerical approximation.

However, this method places a huge burden on computation, and even though his brain is said to be comparable to a supercomputer, he is now extremely helpless.

The so-called numerical approximation method is actually to use numerical approximation techniques to calculate the value of the Riemann zeta function to prove it.

Goodness, you can imagine how much computation this requires.

As mentioned earlier, Wang Duoyu needs to prove that all 1.5 billion non-trivial zeros are on a straight line of 1/2.

Calculating even a single nontrivial zero is an incredibly complex computational task, let alone 1.5 billion. Even the thought of it being "scalp-chilling" is an understatement.

"Ugh!"

The night is long, and all that remains is a long sigh.

Just as Wang Duoyu was racking his brains trying to figure out how to prove the Riemann Hypothesis, on the other side of the world, in a building on Wall Street in New York.

The trading floor at the Stratton Oakmont headquarters has become extremely crowded in just a few months.

"Andy, should we rent the offices on the floor above as well?"

Inside the general manager's office, a spirited Jordan Belfort sat in his executive chair, looking at Andy Slick before him, and asked a question.

In less than six months since its founding, Stratton Oakmont has already shown its talent.

Just the day before yesterday, their company generated a profit of $29.8 million in a single day.

One day! That's absolutely terrifying.

That's $29.8 million, and that's profit.

This is simply because Stratton Oakmont now has over a thousand traders.

They make daily phone calls to sell junk stocks to wealthy individuals, thus generating profits.

The junk stocks are worthless, but the wealthy are completely misled by the salespeople.

For example, Oku Airways, which was only established last year, only has five second-hand aircraft and its routes are just short-haul domestic flights within the United States.

It's very difficult for companies like this to go public because their finances are not good and they have no profits, but they still want to raise funds and go public.

However, junk stocks are junk stocks; when they try to raise funds, nobody pays any attention to them.

However, Jordan Belfort told his salespeople:

This company is preparing for a backdoor listing, and once listed, its market value will definitely double.

"Most importantly, this company has already partnered with Airbus and signed a contract to purchase twelve Airbus A300 aircraft."

For an airline, the number of aircraft is a tangible indicator.

Oku Airways is a tiny, worthless company in the American aviation industry; nobody knows about it.

With only five aircraft in total, how many routes can they operate?

If it weren't for the rapid development of the US aviation industry in the last decade, which led to the establishment of many airlines, it would be a different story.

This has caused great chaos in the entire US aviation industry, making it very difficult for ordinary people to investigate.

Jordan Belfort taught his salespeople how to close deals:

"Oku Aviation will launch its IPO in early May, at which point the entire United States will know about the company. Once it goes public, this opportunity will not come again."

"Right now, Oku Air's stock is fifty cents a share. After it goes public, it should rise to at least two dollars a share. That's a three-fold profit. If you invest a thousand dollars, you can earn a net profit of fifteen hundred dollars."

"This opportunity is here now; it's already late April, and the trading days are almost over."

With such sales techniques, a confident tone, and a considerate attitude, this deal is bound to go through.

There are far too many junk stocks like Oku Aviation.

Last year saw a stock market crash, but this year the US economy is experiencing a full recovery, and everyone is eager to make money.

Stratton Oakmont targets wealthy speculators, but the poor aren't spared either.

Whether the funds were obtained through loans or borrowed funds.

As long as they are willing to invest, the money will eventually end up in the pocket of Stratton Oakmont.

The myth of earning over 29 million US dollars in a single day is quite astonishing on Wall Street.

With so much money in his hands, Jordan felt very uneasy if he didn't spend it.

"Then let's rent it, but we still need to notify Sun Investment Company."

Upon hearing Andy Slick's words, Jordan suddenly paused.

After a while, he looked towards the door, then leaned closer and whispered to Andy:

"Andy, do you think we should reduce our stake in Sun Capital? They hold too much, it's only $1.5 million."

A few months ago, Dylan Dario of Sun Capital only put up $1.5 million.

However, they took 40 percent of the shares of Stratton Oakmont.

Even though he only received a share of the profits once, Jordan was already very dissatisfied.

Last month, Stratton Oakmont paid out its first dividend, totaling $50 million.

Based on Sun Investment Company's 40% stake, Dylan Dario directly received $20 million.

Andy and Jordan each held 34.2% and 25.8% respectively, receiving $17.1 million and $12.9 million respectively.

But Sun Investment Company is just a financial investor, so why should it take so much money?

Of course, Andy and Jordan also received salaries.

But their salary is only $50,000 a month, which adds up to $600,000 a year.

Unfortunately, this portion of the money is subject to taxes, so the final amount received is less than $400,000.

In comparison, Jordan received over ten million US dollars out of the twelve million nine hundred thousand dollars in bonuses.

So no matter what, he has to find a way to get more shares and dividends and make more money.

People die for wealth, birds die for food—this is simply a normal law of social survival.

Are you really going to do this?

"Andyslick said quietly."

After leaving Maple Tree Capital, Andy worked at Stratton Oakmont for a few months.

In just a few months, his ambitions have grown wildly.

Who doesn't want to be full of vigor and high spirits?
To trample Wall Street under their feet?

Back then, he had a keen eye to invest in Jordan, and even brought in his former employer, Maple Capital.

However, Maple Capital did not invest; instead, they introduced an outsider: Dylan Dario of Sun Capital.

If it were O'Brien from Maple Tree Capital, Andy would be extremely grateful.

But what is Dylan Dario?
However, even though Andy had many grievances against Dylan Dario, he wouldn't show them.

If we don't make use of such a great player as Jordan, wouldn't that be a waste?

"Damn it, don't you want to?" Jordan shouted upon hearing this.

He knew he didn't have Andy's shrewdness because he was still very young.

As a young person, after experiencing the world's top circles...

Jordan no longer felt any awe towards those wealthy people who lived in the clouds.

Therefore, Jordan wanted to be a dragon-slaying warrior who dared to challenge the heavens.

"Jordan, you need to understand that this isn't a question of whether you want to or not, but whether it's worth it!"

Andy frowned and said:
"Why is my former employer, Maple Tree Capital, unwilling to invest in us? Do you know?"

"And why did you turn around and introduce Sun Capital? How much do we know about this company? How much do we know about Dylan Dario?"

"Wall Street is a ruthless, bloodthirsty abyss. We need to be extremely careful in everything we do, otherwise, if we make a mistake, we might lose the chance to climb to the top."

Jordan frowned upon hearing this.

If you let him do sales, he'd be absolutely able to figure out what those wealthy people are thinking.

It's all about how to make more money, nothing more.

Many of these wealthy people are just uncultured nouveau riche, nothing more to say about them.

However, he knew very little about Dylan Dario.

My limited understanding is limited to the few times we've met before, nothing more.

"Fuck, let's investigate and find out who this person is and what their capabilities are."

Suddenly, Jordan said fiercely.

"They didn't do anything; they just put up $1.5 million and took 40% of the shares. They already took $20 million in dividends last time. They've made a lot of money."

“I won’t swallow this insult until they lower their share price.”

Upon hearing this, Andy suddenly said quietly:

"Jordan, if the other party is really willing to reduce their shareholding, how should we divide the extra shares?"

The atmosphere in the office instantly froze.

To everyone's surprise, Andy would bring this up prematurely at this time.

To be honest, the relationship between Jordan and Andy wasn't very harmonious, and their feelings for each other weren't deep.

Moreover, even if their feelings for each other are deep, they cannot withstand the test of self-interest.

Human nature is like this throughout history, both in ancient and modern times, and across the world.

Just as tensions were rising, there was a knock at the door.

The two of them breathed a sigh of relief and looked towards the door.

The secretary pushed open the glass door and reported:
"Andy, Jordan, there's a guest outside the door."

The guest was a stranger, but his appearance gave Andy and Jordan a chance to catch their breath.

The two of them cannot afford to have a falling out now, otherwise, Stratton Oakmont will fall apart.

Moreover, Sun Investment Company hasn't even been purged yet.

At this point, the two of them started fighting amongst themselves, which only benefited Dylan Dario, the one who reaped the benefits.

"Let him in."

Upon hearing this, the secretary turned around and went out to invite the guest in.

After the visitor sat down, he exchanged a few brief pleasantries with Jordan and Andy, and then immediately began to speak:

“I’m here on Dylan Dario’s orders to deliver a message to you. Manhattan District Attorney Guyn Smith is requesting an investigation into the two of you. Dylan told me to tell you that it’s best to keep a low profile for the time being.”

"I have finished conveying my message, and I will be leaving now."

Jordan quickly stood up and tried to persuade the other party to stay, hoping they could reveal more information.

Dylan Dario didn't come in person, and instead of delivering the message by phone, he sent a verbal message.

what is happening?
What happened?

However, this person, who claimed to be Dylan Dario's representative, did not reveal any other information, because he did not know anything else.

Seeing this, Jordan could no longer try to persuade the other person to stay and could only watch helplessly as they left.

Once again, only he and Andy remained in the office.

"Andy, what do you think?"

"I'll sit and watch!"

Andy rolled his eyes. He had only just found out about this, so how was he supposed to know what to do?

"Let's have someone investigate this Guy Smith first. We need to know what he's investigating about us, but I suspect it's those wealthy people causing trouble."

Upon hearing Andy's words, Jordan fell silent.

Jordan knew best what was really going on with Stratton Oakmont.

After the stock market crash last year, he lost his job and then joined an investor center that sold junk stocks.

When Jordan joined the company, he already learned from the interviewer that selling junk stocks was considered to be skirting the edge of the law.

It can't be considered illegal, but it can't be said to be law-free either.

That investor center sells junk stocks to low-income people like repairmen and mail carriers.

Even if these people realize they've been scammed, they can only accept their bad luck.

Even if someone complains or files a lawsuit against the investor center, it will be to no avail.

The United States may seem like a heartless society, but that's not actually the case.

With money making the world go round, how could ordinary repairmen, mail carriers, and other low-level people possibly win a lawsuit?

However, the current Stratton Oakmont Company is different; their customer base consists mostly of the top few percent of wealthy people in the United States.

If these kinds of people get scammed, then things are not so simple.

That's why the Manhattan District Attorney opened an investigation into Stratton Oakmont.

Jordan understood these things much better, which is why he remained silent.

"Stop thinking about it. Let's investigate this quickly and then talk to Dylan. After all, he's the major shareholder."

Andy's words immediately made Jordan realize that Dylan Dario really needed to step in.

It could even be said that now is the time for Dylan Dario to truly shine.

Sun Investment Company took 40% of the shares, so it's impossible that they would just take the dividends for nothing and do nothing.
Jordan immediately made a phone call and arranged for someone to investigate.

Jordan would not hesitate to pay for anything that could be solved with money.

After get off work, Jordan wanted to go out for drinks with Andy, but the latter shook his head and refused.

"I have plans today, so I won't be going out with you. It's good that you have a wife; you should keep a close eye on her."

After saying that, Andy left.

Jordan followed him to the underground parking lot, then drove his flashy Ferrari F40 to the hottest bar in the vicinity.

A few months ago, he saw Andy buy a Ferrari F40, and after he had the money, he also bought one.

And let me tell you, driving such a supercar on the road, he's definitely the coolest guy on the block.

After becoming a multi-millionaire, Jordan naturally thrived even more. As for his young wife, she could just wait at home. After all, he was now a big boss, his status was different, and he needed to socialize; she couldn't really say anything.

A few days have passed in the blink of an eye, and the situation has been investigated and clarified.

Manhattan District Attorney Guy Smith is indeed investigating Jordan and Andy because Stratton Oakmont is making money too fast.

On Wall Street, companies that make money too quickly always attract attention.

Maple Capital was investigated before, but it's all fine now.

Maple Capital can withstand scrutiny, but Stratton Oakmont cannot.

How to do?
Keep a low profile where necessary, and hide what needs to be hidden, especially when it comes to financial statements.

If the prosecutor discovers even the slightest clue, it could be a disaster.

Wang Duoyu is fishing on the banks of the Pearl River in Guangzhou.

Not far away, Li Rongrong, Wang Junan, Lu Yuening and several other children were playing. Even though they were covered in sweat, they were still having a great time.

Today, Wang Duoyu gave himself a rare two-day holiday.

After Labor Day, Wang Duoyu, who deeply felt the extreme difficulty of the Riemann Hypothesis, had to relax and stop working on his liver all the time.

For the past month or so, or even since after the Spring Festival, his work has focused on the Riemann Hypothesis.

However, progress was not smooth.

Unlike mathematicians like Lu Jiaxi, he did not need to perform calculations for extended periods of time.

Because he needs to distract himself, give his brain a break, and change his mindset.

Whether it was some small things in life or the Mach 5 fighter jet project he was busy with in Beijing, it didn't actually take up much of his energy or brain cells.

Conversely, when he began studying the Riemann Hypothesis, his brain worked faster and consumed more energy.

Therefore, even though he stayed in the study and didn't exercise much.

However, he gets hungry very easily, his appetite increases, but his weight still decreases.

All I can say is that the mental strain is truly terrifying.

"Dad, a fish has taken the bait."

Just as Wang Duoyu was gazing blankly at the scenery in the distance of the Pearl River, Wang Junkang, who had appeared beside him at some point, pointed at the river and shouted loudly.

Oh, it really did take the bait.

Upon seeing this, Wang Duoyu quickly grabbed his fishing rod and began to reel it in.

Just then, a speedboat appeared in the distance, rapidly heading towards Wang Duoyu and his group.

Yuan Zuliang and his team immediately tensed up.

Anyone or anything that gets close to Wang Duoyu will be targeted by them.

There are no tall buildings near the island in the middle of the lake. Whenever Wang Duoyu goes fishing, Yuan Zuliang and his men will send people to patrol the Pearl River on the other side to prevent anyone from sneaking up on them from hiding on the shore.

In any case, we can't be careless.

As Wang Duoyu put the small grass carp he had caught into the bucket, the speedboat had already stopped at the dock on the island in the middle of the lake.

Wang Duoyu glanced at the crowd and was somewhat surprised, because there were quite a few people there.

Tong Jianwei, Yuan Youlan and others came, as did Kang Zhiping and Qi Xingbang, as if it had been arranged beforehand.

"Professor Wang, what a refined hobby! Wow, you caught so many fish!"

After entering, Tong Jianwei and the others greeted Wang Duoyu with smiles and pleasantries.

When Wang Duoyu first arrived in Guangzhou last month, Tong Jianwei and Yuan Youlan came to visit him once.

Although Wang Duoyu did own property in Guangzhou, he doesn't live there often.

Therefore, Tong Jianwei and Yuan Youlan both treated Wang Duoyu like a guest, and they would always pay him a visit whenever he came to Guangzhou.

The bucket next to Wang Duoyu did indeed contain several fish, including grass carp, crucian carp, silver carp, and bighead carp.

These are also common fish species in the Pearl River.

After exchanging pleasantries, Jiao Zhenyu pointed to the two baskets he had brought and said:

"Professor Wang, it's been so long since you've visited Shangri-La. These are fresh pine mushrooms and pig mushrooms that I specially picked for you. I remember these are your favorite mushrooms."

"Thank you, Secretary Jiao. It's rare that you still remember one of my hobbies."

Wang Duoyu smiled and thanked them, then instructed Wang Jun'an and the others to help carry the basket back so they could cook it for dinner that night.

Matsutake mushrooms are also known as matsutake mushrooms, and truffles are also known as truffles; these are the names used in Shangri-La.

Back in Japan, these are considered top-tier delicacies. Capitalists have hyped up these two ingredients to an incredible degree, making it seem like eating them can grant immortality.

"Professor Wang, I'm no longer the Party Secretary. The affairs in Shangri-La have been handed over to Comrade Yin."

Jiao Zhenyu quickly said, and Qi Xingbang added at this moment:
"Yes, Lao Jiao has come to Kunming now; he's the second-in-command."

"Oh, congratulations on Mayor Jiao's promotion."

Hearing Wang Duoyu's words, Jiao Zhenyu felt deeply ashamed:
"I'm truly undeserving of such praise. If it weren't for Professor Wang's help, I would have spent my entire life working in Shangri-La."

At this point, Wang Duoyu changed the subject.

He wasn't going to continue the conversation; instead, he inquired about the situation in Shangri-La and Kunming.

To be honest, he hadn't been to the southwest for a year or two.

The last time I went to Shangri-La was the last time.

Even the ALD region of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, he hasn't been there for a long time.

Perhaps he should take a trip to the ALD district this summer.

Of course, if he really wants to go to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, he must make thorough preparations.

We can't let it be like last time, where we were ambushed again and had to end our trip abruptly.

Jiao Zhenyu gave a brief report on the current situation in Shangri-La:

"The road leading to the Nilonggou mountain area has been built and paved with cement. Now, the entire process of harvesting and screening mushrooms in the mountains, and sending them to the airport, will take no more than eight hours."

"The prices quoted by the United States for our matsutake and truffles have increased considerably. Last year alone, the total value of mushrooms exported from Shangri-La exceeded ten million US dollars."

"Starting this year, Shangri-La will continue to develop its tourism industry. Nilonggou Village received more than 5,000 tourists in the first quarter of this year."

The strategy of developing Shangri-La into a tourist city had long been part of Jiao Zhenyu's plans.

However, before Wang Duoyu went to Shangri-La in 1984, this plan was just a plan.

Even a skilled cook cannot cook without rice.

Seven or eight years later, the spring breeze of reform and opening up swept across the country, but this spring breeze did not reach Shangri-La until the 1980s.

When Wang Duoyu arrived in Shangri-La, the situation wasn't much better.

In August 1984, Wang Duoyu arrived in Shangri-La, and the spring breeze of reform and opening up finally swept through the entire Shangri-La.

Road construction, mushroom sales, tourism development, and other initiatives have revitalized Shangri-La.

In particular, it later assisted Shangri-La in obtaining bank loans to build an airport and also helped Northern Airlines open routes to Shangri-La.

With such a large influx of funds, Shangri-La naturally came to a revitalization.

This is why Nilonggou Village was able to receive more than 5,000 tourists in the first quarter.

"This is a good thing!"

After listening, Wang Duoyu nodded in surprise.

"Shangri-La's development is entirely due to your own efforts, and has little to do with me. It's because you had the resources and were truly sincere that you were able to achieve what you have today."

"I will definitely go there again when I have time."

The motherland has such beautiful rivers and mountains, with endless scenery. How could Wang Duoyu possibly let all this beauty go to waste?
As dusk approached, Wang Duoyu stopped fishing and went home for dinner.

Since everyone is a guest, Wang Duoyu naturally invited Yuan Youlan and the others to have dinner together.

However, there were quite a few of them, and they said that dinner had already been prepared at the Swan Hotel, so it wouldn't be appropriate to disturb them today since there were so many of them.

So they took Wang Duoyu with them. Liu Xiaoli looked at the food that had already been prepared and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Then I'll just eat it myself.

Inside a private room at the Swan Hotel, everyone sat down to eat. After several dishes, Qi Xingbang began to explain the purpose of his trip.

Kunming's economy is developing very rapidly. If nothing unexpected happens, Kunming will definitely be able to move up a place in the national economic rankings this year.

However, there are also many problems.

In the process of economic development, there will always be people who want to gain something for nothing.

In March of this year, Wang Duoyu did not go to Beijing to attend the meeting, but he did ask Kang Yumin to help submit a document.

This document is about JIN (qiang).

"Stop!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Duoyu quickly reached out his hand and said:
“Secretary Qi, you shouldn’t have told me about this. I don’t want to get involved, and I can’t get involved either.”

"You should mention this to your superiors. Besides, the security problem in Kunming is your problem; you should talk to Lao Jiao about it."

To be honest, Wang Duoyu also hoped that someone could take care of this matter.

However, the problem is that it's not that simple at all.

In the 1980s and 90s, there were too many passionate young people.

In previous years, his younger brother Wang Duoshi was a representative of this type.

Finally, Wang Duoyu sent his younger brother to the army and hasn't let him out yet.

His younger brother came back for a visit during last year's National Day holiday, but he returned to his unit not long after.

The two brothers originally had a fairly good relationship, but because Wang Duoshi was too good at causing trouble, Wang Duoyu was really afraid of him.

Now things have turned out badly; the relationship has become distant.

But Wang Duoyu didn't regret it. After all, the Wang family had too many relatives. Having one more brother wouldn't make a difference, and losing one brother wouldn't make a difference either.

Qi Xingbang, who was interrupted, was speechless for a moment.

But then he thought about it again and understood.

Wang Duoyu didn't want to get entangled in these 'mundane matters' because they were very important and involved too many intertwined interests.

Even with Wang Duoyu's status and position, it's impossible for him to get involved in this matter.

But if Wang Duoyu isn't willing to help, then who is?

Upon hearing this, Yuan Youlan and the others fell silent.

The only person they could think of who could help with this matter was Wang Duoyu.

Others were either not qualified or had already distanced themselves from the matter.

During the rest of the meal, everyone remained silent, focusing solely on eating and drinking, while other important matters were completely forgotten.

I need to manage my relationship with Wang Duoyu well, otherwise we won't be able to eat together again next time.

After dinner, on his way back to the island in the middle of the lake, Wang Duoyu deliberately rambled on, fueled by alcohol.

Yuan Zuliang and the others in the car looked at each other in bewilderment.

I thought to myself, this is not like Professor Wang's style at all.

However, Yuan Youlan, who was helping out from the back row, suddenly had a bright idea.

Yes, isn't it simple to handle this matter?

Go ask the higher-ups for the money.

As the forefront of reform and opening up, Guangzhou faces even more challenges.

For example, the things that happened near Guangzhou Railway Station back then.

With drones patrolling the air, everything will stabilize quickly.

Human resource expenditures are very high, and after reporting these situations...

How could the higher-ups possibly remain indifferent when they saw this?
For the next few days, Wang Duoyu stayed home and ignored visitors, focusing intently on his own affairs.

However, Yau Shing-Tung and his team contacted him by phone, disrupting his train of thought.

After hanging up the phone, Wang Duoyu uploaded two papers on proving the functor conjecture to the official website of Harbin Institute of Technology's mathematics journal without saying a word.

Then the entire Ice City Advanced Research Institute was instantly in an uproar.

Goodness, how long has it been? The paper proving the conjecture was approved in March and published in April, and now it's only early May, and two more papers proving it have appeared.
John Milnor, Charles Fefman, Daniel Gray, Shing-Tung Yau, Smail, and others all took the downloaded papers and began to review them word by word.

The Harbin Institute of Advanced Study has more than two Fields Medal winners, as well as many top mathematicians of the same caliber as Fields Medal winners.

They are now only doing one thing: reviewing the two papers uploaded by Wang Duoyu.

Since the paper has not yet been published, only reviewers at the Institute for Advanced Study can view it; otherwise, the global mathematics community would be in an uproar.

Wang Duoyu didn't need to make it public directly, since foreigners might not frequently check the Harbin Institute of Technology's official website, so he didn't make it public.

However, uploading these two papers was enough to give him some peace and quiet for the next few months.

"Perhaps analytic geometry methods can help prove these non-trivial zeros?"

In the study of a villa on an island in the Pearl River in Tianhe District, Guangzhou, Wang Duoyu stared at the draft paper in front of him and suddenly muttered to himself.

The problem with the Riemann Hypothesis is easy to understand, but proving it is extremely difficult.

He has created nearly a handful of mathematical tools and methods in the past six months, yet he still has few clues about how to prove the Riemann Hypothesis.

Fifteen billion non-trivial zeros could drive a person crazy.

Anyway, Wang Duoyu was already in ecstasy, so even if he tried to relax and release his stress through fishing or other means, it didn't seem to help.

What should we do?

By using analytic geometry as a mathematical tool, the properties of the Riemann zeta function are linked to the principles of analytic geometry, and the Riemann Hypothesis is proved through geometric analysis.

A week later, Wang Duoyu applied the analytical geometry method he had created to the Riemann Hypothesis.

We've made some progress, but it doesn't seem like we've solved much of the mystery.

However, the road to Shu is difficult, even if it is as difficult as ascending to heaven, he still wants to climb it.

In mid-to-late May, the members of the two review groups at the Ice City Advanced Research Institute began internal discussions.

In the first group meeting room, everyone gathered together and began to express their opinions.

"I have reviewed the entire paper, and its difficulty is no less than that of the previous paper on the Artin conjecture. I think it should be reviewed for another half month."

John Milnor was the first to speak.

Despite his declining energy, this old man was going to great lengths to understand Wang Duoyu's paper.

For the past two weeks, he has been working through the night reviewing papers. It's not that he's struggling with the papers, but rather with himself.

That's indeed the case. He's already fifty-seven years old this year, and in a few more years, he'll be sixty.

In China, sixty years old is called the "year of the flower-sixty" or the "year of the ear-shunting," signifying a full cycle of sixty years.

Further on, we will reach our seventies and eighties.

As for whether they can live to that age, no one dares to say.

John Milnor was very anxious, as he was already struggling to keep up with the demands of reading numerous papers and conducting research on the functor hypothesis.

This also means that his research achievements in mathematics may have come to an end.

His previous achievements have essentially sealed his place in the history of mathematics.

He was unwilling to accept it, but there was nothing he could do.

The more anxious you are, the further you will be pulled away.

Robert Langlands immediately nodded, "That's right, I've also read the paper. Overall, I haven't found any problems; the proof is correct."

After the two old fogies finished speaking, it was time for the younger generation, namely Alain Connie and William Thurston.

The first group had quite a few members, but not as many as the second group, simply because the paper reviewed by the second group was longer and more difficult.

Arancone and his group were remarkably united in their opinion; they had already completed their review and there was no need to spend any more time on it.

However, out of caution, a second and third round of review will still be conducted.

In fact, they all trusted Wang Duoyu a lot because, to date, none of the papers he published had contained a single error.

But precisely because of this, they are even more cautious.

People who conduct mathematical research are always very cautious; otherwise, Johann Milnor wouldn't have been disproven by Sergei Novikov.

"That's settled then. You young people will conduct the second round of review, this time be more thorough, while we old folks will complete the final review."

David Bryant Manford made the suggestion, which was unanimously agreed upon.

The second group, consisting of Charles Fefman, Daniel Lue, Joseph Cohen, Vladimir Field, Shing-Tung Yau, Gerd Faltings, Andrew Wiles, Jean-Baptiste, and Yorkes, held a short meeting before going their separate ways.

Logically speaking, Yorke is Wang Duoyu's student, so he shouldn't be on the review team and should avoid any appearance of impropriety.

However, there are quite a few big shots in the second group, and no one will show favoritism or cheat.

Besides, there's no way to cheat on math; everyone's too meticulous.

If Yorkz could cheat for Wang Duoyu and fool Charles Feufman and his group of top scholars, he would be incredibly impressive. (End of Chapter)
