  Philadelphia International Airport.

  The car stopped and Molina pushed the door open and put her hand on the boot after helping Orion pull it open.

  " Really not considering it anymore?"

  Orion, who had dragged the suitcase out, asked, "Consider what?"

  Molina hesitated, finally sighed and said, "Well, to be honest ...... I'd like you to join me in my project group, I'm working on a very challenging subject."

  "What subject?"

  "The Riemann Conjecture."

  "Wake up." 

  Molina raised an eyebrow, "That doesn't sound like something you would say, I would have thought that you, who stood on that lectern and defeated the twin prime conjecture, would have been more courageous."

  "Like, brave enough to try to solve it in a dream?" Orion smiled.

  Number theory researchers all over the world wanted to solve this problem, because whoever could take out the conjecture would undoubtedly become one of the most influential mathematicians today. And that million-dollar rewards were insignificant in comparison.

  Yet how hard is the problem?

  Difficult to the point that, with his current LV3 maths level, the system did not even want to open the "offer", the points are not displayed at all. Because in the system's view, this thing is far beyond his current level of mathematics can be solved, and there is no chance of winning.

  The most cutting-edge mathematical research results currently, is the American mathematician Conrey's "at least 40% of the non-trivial zeros are located in the critical line", and this research results have been maintained for nearly thirty years of records, that is, the so-called "Conrey Critical Line Theorem ".

  To advance this 40 % to 100 % is no less difficult for the challenger than the work done by the British mathematician Hardy, who placed the "flag" on the critical line.

  Of course, there have been many people who have tried to depart from this method and use all sorts of strange attempts to win the mathematical crown, but they have all failed.

  Among them, the most famous is probably Mr. de-Branges, who claimed in 2004 that he had proved the Riemann conjecture, but people preferred to think of it as a joke.

  After all, this old man has some reputation in the mathematical world, compared to the folk who claim to have proved the conjecture to the press without even knowing "where the door is".

  In contrast, before Orion proved the twin prime conjecture, mathematicians all over the world did not even take a year to advance Mr. Zhang Yitang's "70 million" to "246".

  We can foresee how many more "geniuses" are going to fill this big hole of Riemann's conjecture.

  It wasn't that he was afraid of this challenge, but there was absolutely no need for him to challenge this nightmare level of difficulty right now. He could have waited for his maths level to rise before attempting to challenge this level of difficulty.

  Taking a deep breath, Molina made a last attempt to persuade, ''It's actually not as pessimistic as you think, in fact I've already achieved a little bit of results ...... Although it seems insignificant, I'm confident that within three years, I'll be able to advance this 40% to 50% as my doctoral thesis! Of course, if you'd like to help me, you can co-author ......"
