"With all due respect, Mary, what is before page 12 is worthless. Shen Qi finished reading Mary's paper and said.

"Worthless, hehe, it turned out to be worthless...... Mary laughed miserably, her chest shaking violently.

I want to hurt people with a murder weapon again!

Shen Qi hurriedly said: "But the discussion on the next few pages is very good! Your solution to the value of the Riemann zeta function on the positive odd point is very clever, and the algebraic integer processing is your trick, which is better than mine." ”

"So, can we work together?" said Mary, who was in a slightly better mood, and the paper was her only solace at the moment.

"Can you read your paper now?" asked Mary.

"Of course. Shen Qi handed his paper to Mary, and the two exchanged papers, checking each other's flaws and deficiencies, and looking for bright spots that could be used for themselves.

Shen Qi and Mary sat together calmly for the first time, and the Riemann Zeta Function ζ (2n+1) research group had never been so harmonious.

As the old Chinese saying goes, take a step back and open the sky.

Of course, the matter of principle must be adhered to.

This friendly academic exchange lasted for more than two hours, and the two sides discussed and determined the operation mode of core arguments such as "the optimal choice of the three processing methods of φ (z) odd function" and "the solution of the integration path of the number retention theorem" based on the basic principle of seeking common ground while reserving differences and mutual benefit, and reached a certain consensus.

No matter what, Shen Qi and Mary are a team, and unity is better than infighting.

A few days later, at the regular academic meeting of the Muller team, Muller highly praised the team spirit of Mary and Shen Qi, and recognized the significant progress made in the project of Riemann Zeta function ζ (2n+1).

Shen Qi's status in the four-person research team has risen significantly, and although he is the youngest, he can already keep up with his senior brothers and sisters Jonas and Mary.

Shen Qi is no longer Mary's assistant, because 60% of the content of the paper "Riemann Zeta Function ζ (2n+1) Problem" was completed by Shen Qi, and the remaining 40% came from Mary's contribution.

None of the four-member team is American, but the American academic rules apply here, and whoever gives more and achieves more results gets more and has a higher status. The United States is a realistic country, and the American dream is not a pipe dream.

Mary didn't dare to drive Shen Qi to be a cow and a horse, and if it weren't for Shen Qi's Merlin transform, the progress of the paper "The Riemann Zeta Function ζ (2n+1) Problem" could not have been completed so quickly.

You must know that Mary has been studying this paper for half a year, and there is basically no result.

Shen Qi joined her team less than two months ago, and it was done.

Shen Qi and Mary became the co-first authors of "The ζ (2n+1) Problem of Riemann Zeta Functions", and Mill was the second author.

Although Professor Müller did not win any awards, the students he led respected him very much.

As long as the student is not too stupid, too scumbag, too uncompetitive, as long as the student has made even a little contribution to the project, Mueller will let the student become the first author of the project paper.

Shen Qi felt that this old man was Bethune from Germany.

Some tutors are not so good at talking, and the author in the first position will not give him the pit position, and the students will not want to publish their papers. Whether it is China, the United States, or Europe, such mentors exist.

"There are still two months left in this year, and our team's performance has exceeded the same period last year, Shen Qi, you have contributed a lot. Mueller called Shen Qi to the office and was opening a small stove for Shen Qi alone.

Throughout last year, the Müller team completed a thesis.

As of November this year, the Müller team has completed two papers.

Among them, "Proof of the Walsh Conjecture of the Diophantine Equation" was submitted to the Journal of the American Mathematical Society and is currently in the peer review stage.

The Riemann Zeta Function ζ (2N+1) Problem has just been completed and submitted to the Annals of Mathematics, another of the four major journals, and is in the process of preliminary review.

Shen Qi made 100% and 60% contributions to these two papers respectively, and he became the core figure of the team, Professor Mueller's celebrity.

Mary joined Mueller's team in April, and for the whole of last year, Müller had only one soldier under Jonas.

Jonas has not published a single paper for two and a half years in his Ph.D., which last year was written by Professor Müller himself.

In China, a top university of Princeton's level, where a research team only publishes one paper a year, don't want to apply for too much project funding the next year.

And Mueller has a lot of money in his hands for research, and he has more money this year than last year.

Princeton is very wealthy, and although it is small, it is perennially at the top of the ranking of the richest universities in the United States.

The University's annual income comes from alumni donations, government funding, education funds and other channels.

More than half of the more than $2 billion in annual revenue is invested in scientific research projects, and the other half is returned to the Princeton Education Fund to generate rolling profits through securities, real estate or other investments.

Cutting-edge scientific research is very expensive, and only by continuing to burn money all year round can we stand on top of the world.

The professors who teach at Princeton do not have so many hard indicators sent down by their superiors, and there is no such thing as evaluating titles and dividing houses, and the cost of the mathematical research team is not large, and the research funds in Mueller's hands are simply not exhausted.

This year, the page fees for the two papers totaled just over $5,000, and Mueller also had a surplus of funds after including the salaries paid to Shen Qi, Mary, and Jonas.

Mueller said to Shen Qi very solemnly: "The ζ (2n+1) problem of Riemann's Zeta function can be completed by you and Mary, but Riemann conjectures, I want you to complete it alone. ”

"If you get stuck, you can talk to me individually. The complete proof of the Riemann conjecture requires the challenger to think about the countermeasures independently, and even I may interfere with your thinking. ”

"So before the core thinking logic is formed, try not to talk to me about the Riemann conjecture, unless there is really nothing to be done. ”

"But don't be anxious, my child, RH is a long-term challenge, maybe it will last for five or even ten years, or even a lifetime. The good news is that we have completed the important foreshadowing of ζ (2n+1), do you have the courage to face RH alone, Shen Qi?" said Professor Müller.

Shen Qi replied objectively: "I can only say that I launched an attack tentatively, and I dare not guarantee that one blow will be hit, and it may even take several years to even catch the real key point of RH." True, we already have the sharpest weapons, but where is the enemy's lifeline, it needs to be studied further. I accepted Professor Müller's suggestion to challenge RH on my own. ”

Just do it, that night, Shen Qi launched a general attack on Riemann's conjecture.

However, a night passed, Shen Qi was drowsy, hey, I can't figure it out, I don't have a clue at all.
