I guess this is really a difficult problem that always tortures people.

In addition to the nearly three hundred years of history, there is also the problem itself.

Whether it is the mathematicians who studied it before or Chen Zhou now.

They all have a common feeling.

That is, you always feel that you are very close to it, but you can never break through the last layer of window paper.

The finishing touch was always missing.

Brown, who was the first to introduce the sieve method, was like this, Mr. Chen from China was like this, and Professor Wang was like this when he verified the generalized Riemann hypothesis.

During the research, I felt that there might be an elementary proof of Goldbach's conjecture, and the proof was not too complicated.

This is what many civilian scientists have been looking for with hope.

However, the possibility of this situation existing is really very small.

This does not mean that there is no elementary proof that civil scientists hope for.

It's just a mathematical problem. As the number of mathematicians trying this problem increases, more and more time is spent on it.

The possibility that this mathematical problem has a less complex elementary proof diminishes rapidly.

And for mathematical problems like Gecha that have been studied and tried for hundreds of years, this possibility is almost non-existent.

Otherwise, since Euler, so many mathematicians who have spent a lot of energy on guessing are all fools?

In other words, these mathematicians, including the great master Euler, become stupid when they study it?

For example, if I want to use a simple elementary proof, I guess I can solve it.

That means you alone have defeated Euler, plus everyone else who has studied number theory in the past 300 years.

This degree of difficulty is probably equivalent to defeating all the armed forces of the United States by oneself.

Obviously, this is impossible.

In Chen Zhou's opinion, the solution to his guess lies in mathematical tools.

Combined with previous research by mathematicians, after truly using every mathematical tool to its extreme.

The best result is the "12" obtained by Mr. Chen using the sieving method in the last century.

This also means that the screening method has probably been used to its full potential and cannot make any more breakthroughs.

Want to prove the final "11", which is Goldbach's conjecture itself.

You have to find new methods.

Then, the choice of mathematical tools may not be a simple one.

After rubbing his somewhat swollen and painful head, Chen Zhou was not too discouraged.

At least, his distributed deconstruction method is heading towards the integration of multiple branches of mathematics.

Putting down his pen, Chen Zhou looked at the contents on the draft paper.

“This thing is the Riemann zeta function? It’s really both love-hate and love-hate...”

What made Chen Zhou sigh like this? It’s because the Riemann zeta function is also related to prime numbers.

When Riemann studied the Zeta function, he revealed its relationship with prime numbers.

The classic Riemann hypothesis in Hilbert's question 23? It is also the Riemann hypothesis, which involves the Riemann Zeta function.

But? This thing is considered by many people to be the most important unsolved problem in all of mathematics.

Because it is an unsolved problem, Chen Zhou wanted to prove his guess in disguise based on the premise that the Riemann Hypothesis is true.

But I also feel that this is just throwing one problem to another.

It's just treating the symptoms rather than the root cause.

That’s why Chen Zhou thinks this thing makes people love and hate it at the same time.

In fact, there are not a few mathematicians who directly use the Riemann Hypothesis.

Otherwise, there would not be thousands of propositions waiting for the Riemann Hypothesis to be proven and then directly upgraded to theorems.

Shaking his head slightly? Chen Zhou finally rejected the idea.

Unless, he can prove the Riemann Hypothesis before proving his guess?

But this time, Chen Zhou felt that he was thinking nonsense.

So? Rather than leaving your destiny to others, it’s better to take control of it yourself.

Glancing at the previous mathematical blueprint? Chen Zhou planned to start from the side.

First improve the distribution deconstruction method? Try to incorporate the content of algebraic geometry?

Let's solve the brother-guessing problem in front of him that has tortured him for so long.

The sequence here refers to the order in the plan.

But in actual research, Chen Zhou had no intention of just leaving Ge Guai aside.

After getting up and moving around briefly, Chen Zhou sat down at the desk again and opened the wrong question collection.

The latest page of the wrong question collection is full of various documents he has read about Ge Guess's proof.

When Chen Zhou saw this scene, he suddenly felt dizzy again.

How should I put it? It's like, in the nearly three hundred years of research, no method is absolutely correct.

However, thinking about it on the other hand, how could there be a method that would not be dug to the deepest depths in three hundred years?

Therefore, the answer I guessed returns to the origin of the problem.

That is, it requires a revolutionary new idea.

This method must overcome the difficulties you see.

Without thinking any more, Chen Zhou began to look through the collection of wrong questions in front of him.

Next to the wrong question set is prepared paper and pen.

Chen Zhou just looked at it while combing through the documents recorded in the collection of wrong questions.

This is also a necessary step for Chen Zhou every day, retrospective sorting.

Of course, the directionality here is too slim.

Because although Chen Zhou is constantly trying and making mistakes, when everything you try is wrong.

That would be the same as not trying.

Otherwise, Chen Zhou wouldn't think that Ge Guai is an old tormentor.

Nor would I want to change my research plan and bring the study of algebraic geometry and the improvement of the distribution deconstruction method to the front.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Zhou put down the pen in his hand again and looked at his watch.

"Damn it! It's already one o'clock?!"

Chen Zhou got up hurriedly, tidied up briefly, ran out of the dormitory, and went to the cafeteria to get his lunch.

On the way, he kept refreshing the messages on his mobile phone. Fortunately, Yang Yiyi didn't send any messages.

Chinese restaurant, rice bowl.

This is Chen Zhou's lunch.

Speaking of which, this was a restaurant that Chen Zhou discovered accidentally. It tasted very similar to the rice bowls served at restaurants outside Maochang High School.

Because of this, this became a restaurant that Chen Zhou often visited.

As if he had anticipated Chen Zhou's arrival, the restaurant owner just looked towards the door and saw Chen Zhou coming in.

He smiled and asked: "Are you late again?"

Chen Zhou smiled and replied: "It's too late again."

"It's okay, it's still dinner time." The restaurant owner joked and asked, "Shredded pork and green pepper rice bowl?"

Chen Zhou nodded: "As usual, give me some more pickles."

The restaurant owner responded: "I know!"

Chen Zhou found a seat and sat down, and looked at the message notification on his phone again.

However, there was no news from Yang Yiyi, but I saw a strange email.

Chen Zhou clicked on the mailbox on his phone and took a look.

His eyebrows were raised subconsciously, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
