Chapter 35

"Shibal, weren't you going to interfere with Jiang Ye? Did the production team betray us? Did you side with Dragon Country?"

For a moment, viewers around the world were dumbfounded!

Just then, host Chen Danni said with a grave expression, "An urgent announcement. Just now, all the scientists in the world unanimously demanded that we refrain from using the tiger's roars to interfere with Jiang Ye. With no other choice, the production team has decided to anesthetize the tiger for now and make a further decision depending on how things develop."

"Nani? All the scientists in the world?"

"Aish, did Dragon Country bribe all the scientists in the world?"

"Haha, speechless now, aren't you? This shows that Jiang Ye might actually solve the Seven Millennium Prize Problems. You people had better get ready to be slapped in the face!"

"That's right. You all think Jiang Ye is cheating with the support of Dragon Country's government, but if he really solves even one Millennium Problem, that claim will collapse on its own."

As soon as the production team's announcement came out, many people began to doubt themselves, and the tide of public opinion shifted slightly.

Still, quite a few people remained convinced that Jiang Ye was cheating.

The controversy was especially fierce on the domestic internet.

"They say it was scientists from all over the world, but I think Dragon Country's government paid a huge price to get the production team to do this."

"Dragon Country's government still hasn't come forward to clarify things. Doesn't that prove it?"

"Besides, none of those scientists have come forward to back him up yet."

"Heh, you people have been kneeling for so long that you're convinced anyone amazing has to come from abroad. Whenever one of our own appears, you deny and question them first. Fuck you and your whole neighborhood, you bunch of banana people."

"That's right. Aren't you all just saying that Jiang Ye can't possibly be a genius, that he can't possibly solve the conjectures, and that everything he's done came from official support? Heh, once Jiang Ye solves them, surely you won't think someone would just hand over the honor of solving a Millennium Problem?"

"So I reckon the government hasn't come forward yet because it's waiting for Jiang Ye to finish. Then you can all wait to get slapped in the face over and over. And those internet influencers and streamers who reposted this and added fuel to the fire-heh-heh, our government knows exactly how to settle accounts after the harvest!"

"He can't possibly solve them. Just wait and see."

"Even a dead duck keeps its beak shut. If he solves them, I'll be the first to beat the shit out of you."

Inside the university classroom.

Jiang Ye, who had unknowingly avoided a close call, was nearly finished with the proof of the last Millennium Problem.

Everyone was watching. No matter how little they understood, they could tell Jiang Ye was almost done writing.

Once he finished, he would record a video explaining his proofs.

The answer would truly be revealed then.

Soon, within a few minutes.

At that same incredible speed.

The final problem, known as the Poincaré Conjecture, came to a full stop at the bottom of the A4 sheet.

Jiang Ye let out a long breath and asked inwardly, System, turn off the Ultimate Learning State. Also, how much time did I take?

[Ultimate Learning State deactivated. Host's elapsed time: 1 hour and 17 minutes.]

Were my proofs for the seven Millennium Problems correct?

[The proofs provided by the host are entirely correct.]

Jiang Ye nodded slightly, then stood up and went to turn on the camera he had left untouched since yesterday.

Then he returned to the lectern.

Chapter 35: That Man Is Good at Creating Miracles (Begging on My Knees for All Kinds of Support)

Jiang Ye stood at the lectern and opened with the same words as yesterday.

"Hello, new civilization of intelligent beings. My name is Jiang Ye, and I'm from Dragon Country.

"Next, I will begin explaining my proof of the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer Conjecture."

"First, let me introduce the background of the conjecture."

"Mathematicians have always been fascinated by the problem of characterizing all integer solutions to algebraic equations such as x^2+y^2=z^2..."

Jiang Ye soon found his stride.

Meanwhile, in the international livestream, viewers saw Jiang Ye delivering his explanation with a perfectly straight face.

Viewers from various countries who believed he was cheating burst out laughing.

"I didn't think much of it yesterday, but today I suddenly realized this Dragon Country guy could win an Oscar."

"Seriously. He could probably win Best Actor, pretending something he already knows is unknown in front of six or seven billion people. And the key is that even psychologists can't see through him."

"Smart talent agencies have already got their contracts ready, or are preparing to head to Jiang Ye's hometown."

"Then they can make a movie called 'All Humanity Faked Its Disappearance, and I Was Livestreamed Solving Math Problems'?!"

Most viewers, or rather 99% of them, couldn't understand Jiang Ye's explanation.

But mathematicians around the world, especially those who had spent years studying the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer Conjecture, truly didn't dare blink.

At the Dragon Country Mathematics Council, the head and deputy head, along with Elder Wang and Elder Yang, were also watching the livestream.

"There haven't been any major problems with his proof so far. As long as his explanation goes smoothly, he might really have conquered a Millennium Problem," Head Council Member Lu said with a smile.

Elder Yang and Elder Wang, however, had no mind to respond. Their attention was entirely on Jiang Ye's explanation.

Instead, Deputy Head Xiang Chengnan replied, "If that's really the case, everything else aside for now, his safety will become a major issue."

"Ah, that's not for us to worry about. Minister Zhang will take care of it."

"What I find harder to understand is why, with a gift like his, he was so ordinary for the first twenty years of his life."

Deputy Head Xiang Chengnan remarked, "Perhaps some people are born knowing that a tree that stands above the forest will be battered by the wind. If a show about humanity disappearing hadn't suddenly appeared, I'm afraid we still wouldn't have seen him amaze the world with a single feat."

Gradually, Xiang Chengnan and Council Member Lu stopped talking as well, because the explanation on the screen had entered a field they specialized in.

And so, as the outside world continued to watch.

An hour passed in the blink of an eye.

Jiang Ye's explanation was unhurried, clearly organized, and flowed smoothly.

But this wasn't a presentation where he needed to answer questions from the audience.

So he still finished explaining five conjectures fairly quickly and was now discussing the Riemann Hypothesis.
