Chapter 24

"I see. Every contestant's city has a zoo. You people from Dragon Country can't pin the blame for this on the production team."

The production team was also monitoring Jiang Ye's movements in real time.

If he really turned around and went back to his study desk to continue working on the conjecture, they would have no choice but to step in.

To be honest, they really didn't want to intervene unless they absolutely had to.

After all, the more they intervened, the less they would achieve the goal they ultimately wanted for the show.

If Jiang Ye really did make a fool of himself or reveal a nasty character, Dragon Country's viewers could simply say that it was all because the production team had guided and interfered with him.

Then all their scheming would have been for nothing.

Meanwhile.

Mathematicians around the world were watching the livestream without taking their eyes off it, waiting to see whether Jiang Ye would continue working on conjectures.

Although his proof of Goldbach's Conjecture had yet to be verified as entirely correct, what he had written had already made many leading mathematicians in analytic number theory slap the table in admiration.

Three world-class conjectures in a single day.

This left the mathematicians with great expectations for him.

Just then.

The International Mathematical Union posted a tweet.

"We have finished compiling images of Jiang Ye's proof of Goldbach's Conjecture and are arranging for six leading professors in related mathematical fields, including Faltings, Helfgott, and Iwaniec, to review it independently. The time required is undetermined."

Daily Mail: "Columbia University statement: Regardless of whether Jiang Ye has solved Goldbach's Conjecture, we will invite him to become a full professor after the show ends."

Ivy Club: "We look forward to Jiang Ye coming for a friendly exchange after the show ends. Should he take a teaching position, we will offer generous compensation."

Princeton Institute for Advanced Mathematical Studies: "We sincerely invite Jiang Ye to come and serve as a full professor. Without a doubt, he already has the ability to do so."

Shuimu University: "Science knows no borders, but scientists have nationalities. The position of full professor in our mathematics department will remain open for Jiang Ye, and we will provide the best academic environment and compensation."

After Shuimu University became the first to speak up, top domestic institutions such as Tsinghua, Peking University, and Fudan followed with announcements offering him positions.

After he solved Zhou's Conjecture and the Beal Conjecture, the world's leading institutions had still been hesitating over whether to place their hopes on Jiang Ye and recruit this talented man.

But with the International Mathematical Union's announcement, Jiang Ye's proof of Goldbach's Conjecture had entered the independent review stage.

That was enough to show that the proof he had written carried considerable weight.

It was also enough for these leading institutions to make their choice.

As one hiring announcement after another came pouring in from leading institutions at home and abroad.

Public opinion at home erupted into an unprecedented sensation.

"Gasp!!!"

"A twenty-year-old full professor. I'm in awe, I really am!"

"That's a small thing. If he really has solved Goldbach's Conjecture, he'll become one of the most influential mathematicians in the country."

"What if he solves the Riemann Hypothesis?"

"Then he'll become the most influential mathematician in the world, bar none."

"Holy shit! What glory for his ancestors! I don't even dare to be jealous."

"Haha, this should be enough to shut those foreign haters up, right?"

"No, you should say it's enough to make foreign viewers hope a tiger from the zoo breaks out and bites him to death. Get it?"

"Actually, it's the same either way. Put yourself in their shoes: if Neon Country's contestant were a mathematical genius, our netizens would probably feel the same!"

However.

The sensation in public opinion hadn't lasted long before Jiang Ye's next move drew everyone's attention.

Inside the library.

After giving it careful thought, Jiang Ye had a rough plan of action in mind.

He decided to use a video as this "trace."

Leaving aside for now how to preserve the medium holding the video, there would always be a way.

And if he wanted to prove whether human civilization had been glorious.

What video content could compare with the latest research results in the field of mathematics?

Then he would start with Goldbach's Conjecture!

I came! I saw! I conquered!

Chapter 24: At That Moment, All Humanity Was Shocked (Kneeling and Begging for All Kinds of Support)

Once he had thought it through, Jiang Ye immediately got to work.

He needed to record the proof of a world-class conjecture and add his own discussion and explanations, so the new civilization could better understand it.

The library was not a suitable place. At the very least, it had no blackboard.

The most suitable place was undoubtedly a university.

That worked out perfectly.

Once he had finished recording, he wouldn't need to come back to the library.

After all, for his subsequent studies, the main academic materials were on the internet, and he wouldn't need the physical materials in this library.

Even if he did need them, the school library would be enough.

Moving swiftly, Jiang Ye packed the three stacks of A4 paper containing today's research results into folders, held them in his arms, and walked out of the library.

This made the production team, especially the chief director, breathe a huge sigh of relief. Smiles followed.

Thank God, you finally came out!

Viewers around the world felt the same way.

"Is he just going out for dinner before coming back, or is he really leaving the library?"

"Didn't you notice the three folders he's carrying? He's leaving, but I don't know where he's going!"
