Ekiti Federal University, Ekiti State, Nigeria.

Professor Enoch, who was standing in the classroom, was not in a happy mood and was even a little irritable.

In the same article published in Arxiv, Perelman's Poincaré conjecture was recognized by the academic community, and Lu Zhou's proof of Goldbach's conjecture was also recognized by the academic community, except that his paper was thrown into the category of "general mathematics".

And he only recently figured out that this classification has become a garbage heap.

In the classroom, the student who encouraged him to prove Riemann's conjecture said.

"Professor Enoch, can the Riemann conjecture be used to solve the Goldbach conjecture?"

Professor Enoch said casually: "Yes, of course, the Goldbach conjecture is very easy, the distribution of prime numbers is closely related to a well-constructed Riemann ζ(s) function, in essence it is a prime number problem, under the Riemann ζ(s) function system I established, it only takes three hours to solve the Goldbach conjecture." ”

One student asked, "What about Hilbert 23?" Professor Enoch, it should be easy for you. ”

"Of course, it can be easily solved," Professor Enoch said in a relaxed tone, "The Riemann conjecture is ultimately the eighth of Hilbert's 23 questions, but it is already shrouded in the ζ(s) function system that I have established. It's like 'Rhinoceros' Tyson, invincible in the ring. ”

The student coaxed, "Professor Enoch, it's time to fix this." ”

"When the time is right, I will think about going out of the mountain, but now is not the time. Remember, my boys, the really strong ones are not interested in solving specific problems, and they don't bother to do it, because that's what second-rate mathematicians like Gauss and Euler do," Professor Enoch waved his hand, "all right, this class is over." Your assignment is to hand in a paper on the subject of proving the Goldbach conjecture based on my ζ(s) function system. ”

"The method has been handed over to you, and I believe it will be easy for you."

The classroom was filled with mourning, and a group of students grabbed their hair and looked at each other with painful expressions on their faces.

Professor Enoch's papers were too difficult to read, and although they enjoyed listening to Professor Enoch's stories, every assignment would make them rack their brains.

Feeling a lot better, Professor Enoch was so satisfied that he put away the lesson plan and prepared to walk to his office.

However, just then, he saw a white man at the door, as well as the head of the mathematics department of the Federal University of Ekiti.

"Professor Enoch, this gentleman from the United States, would like to talk to you about the Riemann conjecture," patted Professor Enoch on the shoulder, and the old black man smiled and even said flattering, and lowered his voice next to him, "Behave well." ”

Of course, he didn't please Professor Enoch, but a million dollars.

For this small country, this is undoubtedly a huge amount of money.

No one believed in the proof of the Riemann conjecture before this, especially after the Daily Mail reporter came once and then stopped coming.

But now, American journalists are here.

Perhaps, the Clay Institute really accepted his thesis?

In Nigerian society, both Americans and Britons are white, but the former has a slightly higher status, especially after a black man becomes president, which has even been exaggerated as a paradise.

If the Clay Institute really accepted Professor Enoch's paper, then he would undoubtedly become a "man of man", and maybe he would have a chance to immigrate to the United States, and he might have to rely on this brother when the time came......

It's not just Nigeria, it's the whole of Africa that pervades this "escape mentality", especially for those of them who are truly educated.

Professor Enoch was stunned for a moment when he saw the American in front of him, but instead of being bluffed like the old black man next to him, he frowned, "Are you?" ”

"Introduce yourself, I'm a reporter for The Washington Times, you can call me Lart," Lart patiently squeezed out a smile that didn't look so hypocritical, and held out his right hand, "I want to talk to you about the Riemann conjecture, when do you think it's convenient?" ”

If it weren't for that big news, he wouldn't have wanted to stay here for a moment. He couldn't believe that from the time he left the airport to get here, he had been extorted from 70,000 naira...... Although it was only a matter of a few hundred dollars, it still made him quite popular.

He swears that this will be his last business trip here.

Professor Enoch glanced Raert up and down, and said cautiously, "...... My office will do. ”

Professor Enoch's office was a mess, apparently unkept, and his socks were even left on his textbooks, which were clearly dusted and even covered in cobwebs.

Lart frowned, finally found a suitable place to settle and stand, cleared his throat, and said.

"And it came to pass that we learned that at the end of '15, you sent a letter to the Clay Institute claiming to prove the Riemann hypothesis. But according to an interview with the Daily Mail, the Clay Institute declined to comment on your paper. As soon as we learned about your situation, we followed up on the matter......"

Sitting in his chair, Professor Enoch looked at Lart suspiciously, obviously not believing that he could help him get a million dollars in prize money, "My paper can be seen on Arxiv, why did you make a special trip to Nigeria?" ”

Lart said sincerely, "I'm going to help you." ”

"Help me?" Professor Enoch rubbed his nose, "You might as well just give me the money......"

"It's not about money, don't you feel angry?" Lart stared at Professor Enoch and said hatefully, "I just heard your lecture from beginning to end, I think you are a very good mathematician, but some people ignore your results because of the color of your skin. Obviously, Russians, French Peruvians, and even Chinese are recognized by the academic community, but you are the only one who is excluded! ”

Professor Enoch's expression was a little strange.

for it was a white man who said it to him.

However, the journalist did succeed in provoking his anger.

Yes, apparently he also submitted his proof to Arxiv, why his thesis was thrown into the category of "general mathematics" and no one cared.

Lart stared into his eyes and took advantage of the victory to pursue: "I only ask you one thing, can you ensure that the proof of Goldbach's conjecture is completed if the Riemann conjecture is true?" ”

"Of course," Professor Enoch said without hesitation, "it's easy. ”

Larter snapped his fingers, "OK, I'll take care of your plane tickets and visas, and the Washington Post will reimburse you for your expenses along the way, ...... the Post"

"Wait!" Professor Enoch stopped Lart, "I don't understand what you mean, what the hell are you trying to do?!" ”

Lart: "We're going to give you a talk in Princeton about the Riemann hypothesis that you've proved, and how easily you can solve a series of prime problems under that system of functions...... Take, for example, the Goldbach conjecture. ”

Of course, this is not possible in the IAS Lecture Hall 1, but the Princeton Hotel next door doesn't matter. As long as you pay for it, you can book it for a few days, and in fact, many academic conferences themselves are held in hotels.

When Lart told the South Korean financier about his idea, the money was quickly sent over.

For Comrade Wen Mingming, it doesn't matter whether he can make Huaguo take it seriously, as long as he can disgust his neighbors, it is the PLA throwing a "balloon" into the sea, and he can also take it out and make some trouble.

"Wait, wait, it's too fast, I don't understand what you mean, you're asking me to have a debriefing in Princeton?" Professor Enoch's eyes flickered.

It's one thing to submit a paper, but it's another thing to give a presentation on stage, and in short, he hasn't prepared it best.

"Yes," a slight grin broke into the corner of Ralter's mouth.

Staring at him, Professor Enoch wanted to refuse, but couldn't, and finally swallowed and foamed.

This man is simply the devil......

After being silent for a long time, he thought about it carefully, and it seemed that there was nothing to lose to him. Teaching in Nigeria is not a promising career, and no matter how bad it is, he can still take this opportunity to "hack" there.

Looking away, Enoch cleared his throat and said.

"I need a little time to prepare ......"

Lart immediately asked, "How long?" ”

Enoch said tentatively, "Three months." ”

"It's too long," Ralter shook his head, "time waits for no one, and you can save the details for later." Listen, I'm not asking you to convince the professors at Princeton, you just need to convince some of the black activists and the sponsors behind them, and some of the congressmen who are concerned about it. ”

"Well, how long do you want me," Enoch said irritably, picking at his scalp, "you give me a moment." ”

Ralt raised three fingers: "Three days at most." ”

Enoch refused without thinking about it: "This can't be! ”

At the very least, he had to wait until his students turned in their homework.

Three days is not enough in any case.

Ralter raised a finger expressionlessly: "Ten thousand dollars." ”

Enoch didn't want to say right away: "Deal!" ”
