Generally speaking, theoretical research involved only two things in one's daily life.
Either grinding through papers or grinding out papers. In any case, either the body or the soul was always doing manual labor.
Even at Lu Zhou's level, the basic process of research remained much the same. Setting aside matters related to the university or outside it, his daily routine mostly consisted of either keeping up with papers from the top three journals in his field or sitting quietly at his desk, contemplating his own problems.
Since he planned to return to Mathematics after completing the Earth-Moon Control mission chain and raise his Mathematics level to LV10, Lu Zhou had set most of the academic keywords tracked by his customized literature-reading software within the field of Mathematics.
In particular, whenever papers concerning the Riemann Function or the Riemann Hypothesis appeared in any of the top five Number Theory journals, Lu Zhou collected them and read them carefully.
Although he knew it was unrealistic to expect someone else to make an outstanding breakthrough in this field, he still hoped to draw even a little inspiration from others' research.
As usual, he arrived at his office right on the eight o'clock bell. After reviewing the discussion-class outline He Changwen had rushed out overnight, Lu Zhou sat down at his desk, opened his laptop, and prepared to check the tracking tags he had set to see whether any valuable papers had appeared in the fields he followed.

Xiao Ai: [Master, you have a peer review invitation~(?????)]
A peer review invitation?
Setting down his coffee cup, Lu Zhou clicked the link Xiao Ai had sent him and entered his email inbox.
The review invitation had
