If someone can solve more of these seven mathematical problems, they can receive an additional one million US dollars in prize money.

Solving a problem is equivalent to setting up a problem for the next millennium at the turn of the century beginning in 2000.

The Millennium Prize Problems are actually seven challenging mathematical problems. It’s not just for the million-dollar prize offered in the West, which has attracted everyone’s attention.

The interest in these problems isn’t just about the prize money; the significance of researching them is much evident.

That’s why scientists pay so much attention, prompting numerous excellent mathematicians to want to solve these problems.

If the prize is high enough, mathematicians will definitely spend effort to research them.

Initially, the problems are about fundamental mathematical theories, such as solving one of these Millennium Prize Problems.

People will achieve significant progress in mathematical theories, allowing better application of mathematical principles.

The seven mathematical problems are: P vs NP Problem, Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer Conjecture, Hodge Conjecture, Navier–Stokes Existence and Smoothness, Yang–Mills Existence, and Mass Gap Hypothesis.

The problems listed above are all Millennium Prize Problems, each with its unique formation. Whoever solves one of these problems will receive one million US dollars awarded by the Institute of Mathematics.

The honor accompanying the solving of any one of these seven problems is immense, ensuring one’s name is engraved in the entire history of mathematics.

Such honor is what attracts mathematicians to strive for the solution; the million dollar prize is merely a side offering.

Just like Jiang Cheng, who isn’t particularly excited about the meager prize money but is still very eager to research this area of problems.

Since the Millennium Prize Problems were announced, many years have passed, yet only one problem has been solved.

In 2003, Perelman solved the Poincaré Conjecture, a difficult question.

Now, six problems remain unsolved, awaiting a mathematics prodigy to tackle them.

”This problem is very intriguing, we don’t need to talk about the subsequent results; the Millennium Prize Problems are very appealing to me. Let me research these problems,” Jiang Cheng decided.

Jiang Cheng, after thinking briefly, interrupted Lucy, telling her not to continue speaking.

He has made up his mind; in the coming time, he will dedicate himself to the Millennium Prize Problems and see if he can solve these difficult mathematical problems.

The Millennium Prize Problems indeed meet Jiang Cheng’s requirements; their difficulty is extraordinarily high and very challenging.

Moreover, researching mathematical problems usually takes a significant amount of time, fitting Jiang Cheng’s desire to pass the time.

The crucial aspect is that researching the Millennium Prize Problems is very meaningful and significant for human civilization.

If Jiang Cheng can solve any of the Millennium Prize Problems, he can significantly advance the progression of human civilization.

Millennium Prize Problems are related to mathematics, and they are the most urgent mathematical problems for humanity to solve now. Mathematics is indeed a highly essential discipline.

Mathematics is even called the queen of science, underscoring its importance.

Mathematics is the foundation of all natural sciences; without mathematics, other sciences simply cannot develop.

If humans can advance our mathematical levels, many benefits will also come to other disciplines.

Numerous great theories need mathematical support, which has been proven countless times.

Because mathematics is so vital to civilization, Jiang Cheng chose the Millennium Prize Problems as his main direction for future research.

”Alright, Master has made the decision, so I will temporarily record other results. If Master needs them, you can always ask me,” Lucy said to Jiang Cheng.

Hmm, if I need them, I will ask you for other results.

Jiang Cheng casually replied to Lucy and fell into contemplation.

Jiang Cheng didn’t particularly care about Lucy’s words, as the Millennium Prize Problems are enough for him to study for a while.

Once he gets through the next few months, the Future Mars Rover will reach Mars.

By then, Jiang Cheng will be occupied with constructing the Mars Base, leaving no time to concern himself with other affairs.

Finally, Jiang Cheng doesn’t have to linger in idleness, as he has found a goal.

These mathematical problems are enough for Jiang Cheng to pass this period, and when the Future Mars Rover returns Mars’ data, he can continue to develop technologies related to the Mars Base.

This arrangement is perfect for Jiang Cheng, ensuring he won’t get bored due to having nothing to do, nor will he get too busy to spend time with his woman.

After determining his goals, Jiang Cheng quickly entered a focused state, ready to research those challenging mathematical problems.

Previously, Jiang Cheng had been living a leisurely life, completely relaxed.

Now Jiang Cheng must tense his nerves to be in a better state for scientific research.

This time, Jiang Cheng finally has something to do, determined to experience the essence of scientific research.

However, before researching those mathematical problems, Jiang Cheng must first set a research target.

The Millennium Prize Problems still have six unsolved problems, and which one to start with is the problem Jiang Cheng should choose now.

These six mathematical problems involve different fields, their solving approaches vary greatly, making simultaneous research on them impossible.

The differences among these problems are significant; each mathematical problem requires a different method of thinking.

Thus, Jiang Cheng must first choose one mathematical problem, focus in that direction, and later consider other issues.

Which mathematical problem to choose has stumped Jiang Cheng, as these problems’ importance is about equal, all capable of advancing mathematics development once solved.

Since the importance is about equal, Jiang Cheng doesn’t know which problem to start with.

However, this issue didn’t trouble Jiang Cheng for too long; he soon made his choice.

Given the equal importance of the six mathematical problems, Jiang Cheng decided to choose the hardest one first.

This choice is certainly quirky; generally, facing such choices, one would pick the easiest to proceed with.

Doing so would maximize success probability, gradually increasing the challenge level.

Unfortunately, Jiang Cheng is not an ordinary person, so he will choose the hardest one first.

Jiang Cheng always prefers solving the hardest problems first; such challenges stimulate him, which forms part of his personal preferences.

Ranking these six mathematical problems by difficulty, the hardest one is the Riemann Hypothesis.
