As for the issue that no one has offered a reward for Zhou's conjecture, Yi Xiaochuan doesn't care. He is even considering whether to publish it after proving it.
After all, people are afraid of becoming famous just as pigs are afraid of getting fat!
After all, making a fortune quietly is the right way.
As for why I chose "Zhou's Conjecture", Xiao Yi had previously followed a novel written by a top student on the Internet, in which the protagonist became famous for proving "Zhou's Conjecture".
Since obtaining the black technology system, Xiao Yi has become obsessed with studying and has gotten over his addiction to reading novels.
Looking back now, the author's knowledge is really extensive!
“There may be a distinction in academic value between mathematical conjectures, but it is difficult to use a definite standard to measure the difficulty of a conjecture… Wow, what a good write-up. After all, how can we measure the difficulty of something that has not been proven to be true? This itself is a pseudo-logic.”
However, if we have to categorize mathematical conjectures, Xiao Yi also agrees with the classification in the novel.
Academics are academics, and do not involve any non-academic factors such as political significance, economic significance, news exaggeration, etc. If we only talk about the academic value "to today's mathematics community", then thousands of mathematical conjectures can be classified.
If Otsogawa looks at the novel with his current knowledge, there will be absolutely no problem with the classification.
The first tier at the top of the pyramid is undoubtedly the millennium problems such as the Riemann hypothesis, the NP-complete problem, the existence of Yang-Mills gauge field and the mass gap hypothesis, the so-called seven major mathematical problems in the world, as well as some of Hilbert's 23 questions, etc.
Once these conjectures are proven, they will not only promote the development of mathematics, but will also have a profound impact on other disciplines.
The second tier is naturally the three most well-known mathematical problems in modern times, the Goldbach conjecture, the four-color problem, and Fermat's Last Theorem. Two of them have been solved, and Mr. Chen has already solved the remaining one "1+2". In addition, some problems in the Langlands program and some problems in Hilbert's 23 questions can also be included in this list.
The distinction between the third level of conjectures and the second level is not obvious, and there may be large differences in subjective opinions. For example, the Jacobi conjecture can be included in this category.
According to the novel, proving this level of problem will not be far from winning the Fields Medal, or at least being nominated...
As for what the Fields Medal is, Xiao Yi doesn't care.
Now that spiritual energy has revived and humans have begun to evolve, who cares about a mathematics award won by a foreigner
As for the fourth tier, Zhou's conjecture is included in this list, and all sub-problems of the first, second, and third tier problems, or the "weak conjecture" of a certain conjecture, can also be included.
There are even more in the fifth tier, including some unpopular branches that no one cares about, conjectures proposed by some unknown mathematician, and all conjectures that do not reach the fourth tier can be included in this tier.
Xiao Yi spent three days happily. There was still no sign of proof for Zhou's conjecture, but Xiao Yi was confident that after accumulating energy and entering a state of meditation a few times, even if he still could not prove it, the experience value generated by thinking about this prime number problem would still increase.
Because, during these three days, the experience value of mathematics increased from 7% to 23%.
So, thinking is the real purpose, solving conjectures is just an accessory. As for the money and fame after solving conjectures, these are just trivial things...
Otoshi Ogawa doesn't care, of course, it's good to be able to pretend to be cool.
On the fourth day, Otokogawa did not go to the library again, but counted the time on the progress bar on the attribute panel.
The final time has arrived!
The host's surface genetic code is deciphered, and the sequence can be awakened, hermit, swordsman, magician...
Hermit (Sequence 9): A small hermit hides in the wild, a great hermit hides in the city. Having seen the treacherousness of the world and the ugliness of human nature, I live alone, indulge in the mountains and rivers, and use my wisdom to understand the nature of heaven and earth; I stick to my original intention, and listen to the voice of my heart in the noisy and dirty world; I see, I hear, and my heart is as calm as still water...
Swordsman (Sequence 9): Be loyal to the sword, be honest to the sword. Sword moves and sword styles have been integrated into your blood. The sword will become your only one.
Magician (Sequence 9): Mysterious and magical interpretation of the history of the small town, and quick eyes and hands to change the world.
Extraordinary Potion:
System forced activation success rate: No life-threatening
"Are you asking me to choose from these three? The swordsman is easy to understand, but the magician is asking me to be an acrobat? By the way, if I really become a magician, I will never have to worry about food and drink in the future... Then what about the hermit? Feel the nature and listen to the voice of your heart!"
"System, give me some suggestions!"
Hermit: The Seven Supreme Sequences of the Second Era.
Swordsman, Master of Magic: x Sequence of Gods in the Third Era.
"No need to say more, awaken the hermit!"
Yi Xiaochuan waited for a moment, but no pain occurred. He was about to reach out to get some water to drink, but suddenly his hand became out of control, and then his whole body became stiff, and all five senses were blocked.
I can't see, hear, speak, smell anything, or feel any temperature.
But the pain came like a tide, and every part of the body experienced rhythmic heart-wrenching pain. Every cell and every nerve seemed to explode.
After a long, long time, until the sun had set, Otoshigawa, who was lying on the bed, twitched.
"Mmm, is this what you mean by no life-threatening situation?"
He sat up slowly, his joints making crisp sounds like copper bells, and his body felt more relaxed than ever before.
There was just a fishy stench coming from the whole body, like rotten fish and shrimp, rotten eggs mixed with durian, stinky tofu and stinky tofu. It was so sour and refreshing that I couldn't believe it.
The black asphalt-like oily substance was sticky all over the clothes, which turned out to be the smelly sewage flowing out of the body.
"After awakening and evolving, I have cleansed my marrow and sharpened my bones. I am now a Sequence 9 Hermit. What about my skills?"
After carefully studying the attribute panel, Xiao Yi still didn't get the information.

"So, what skills did I gain?"
"Gurgle, gurgle," the sound of hunger came from my stomach, but the system did not respond...
