Third-Generation Mathematician

"Page 404. Done!"

Shen Qi and Ou Ye had finished writing the electronic version of the Strong BSD Conjecture Proof.

Shen Qi thought for a moment. "The number 404 is unlucky. Let's add another page."

Ou Ye nodded. "Okay, I'll add it. You should step out for a bit."

Shen Qi smiled. "Step out? What, are you holding back some big move?"

"Just step out for a bit, okay? Go check on the other test subjects. I heard some of them are emotionally unstable, and one even tried to kill themself."

"That happened? I'll go find out what's going on." Shen Qi frowned and left Ou Ye's room.

Facing the monumental work of more than 400 pages, Ou Ye was overwhelmed with emotion. She tapped at the keyboard and added a paragraph of acknowledgments to the end of the paper:

"I would like to thank my former advisors, Gong Changwei and Elon-Lyndon Strauss. Professor Gong Changwei proved that two-thirds of elliptic curves satisfy the BSD Conjecture, which greatly helped with the arguments in this paper. When I was a doctoral student, Professor Lyndon Strauss taught me the ingenious approach of using elliptic curves to solve problems in number theory, laying the foundation for me to complete this paper."

"I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Academician Deng Ximing, dean of Yanda's School of Mathematical Sciences, and Professor Zhou Yu'an of Yanda's Shen Qi Research Center, for their support in every aspect of this paper."

"Finally, I would like to thank my husband, Shen Qi."

The paper was finalized at 405 pages.

After typing the final character, "Qi," Ou Ye burst into tears.

Her journey had been arduous, but fortunately, several benefactors had appeared in her life.

Her highly accomplished advisor, Gong Changwei; Elon-Lyndon Strauss; Dean Deng Ximing, who
