The editor-in-chief showed a look of admiration while speaking, thoroughly convinced by Jiang Cheng now.

For this mathematical prodigy, there’s really nothing more to say; problems difficult for others are easily solved once they reach Jiang Cheng’s hands.

”Remember to take Jiang Cheng’s paper to some mathematicians for verification to check if there are any issues. Although I believe that at Jiang Cheng’s level, there won’t be mistakes, we still need to follow the procedures.”

The editor-in-chief of the Annals of Mathematics realized after talking for half a day that he had forgotten to ask one important thing.

So the editor-in-chief hurriedly asked his junior editor, ”Oh right, what exactly is the problem Jiang Cheng’s paper addresses? You only mentioned it’s related to the Millennium Prize Problems, but which one did he actually solve?”

He had been so busy being happy that he still didn’t know the detailed content of Jiang Cheng’s paper.

There are still five Millennium Prize Problems that haven’t been solved. Which one’s difficulty was actually resolved by Jiang Cheng? This matter piqued his curiosity.

Although this editor-in-chief is not a mathematician, he is still considered part of the mathematical community.

He is very interested in major events in the mathematics world, hence his curiosity about the content of Jiang Cheng’s paper.

The editor had been unable to find a chance to speak and just stood there listening to his superior’s monologue.

Upon hearing his supervisor’s inquiry, he finally had a chance to speak.

Your question isn’t quite accurate. I only said Jiang Cheng’s paper is related to the Millennium Prize, but I didn’t specify how many papers he’s submitted.

Upon hearing his staff’s words, the editor-in-chief of the Annals of Mathematics immediately asked, ”How many papers? Did Jiang Cheng submit more than one paper this time, and are they all related to the Millennium Prize Problems?

Then which difficult problems did he solve? Tell me quickly so that I can also be excited—my goodness! Jiang Cheng actually solved several Millennium Prize Problems; this is truly a miracle!

Upon hearing that Jiang Cheng submitted more than one paper, the editor-in-chief became even more excited.

Submitting several heavyweight papers all at once—such an event has never been seen before in the Annals of Mathematics.

For him, today is simply a miraculous day, and for the entire mathematics community, it is a day of great significance.

Every Millennium Prize Problem is crucial for the development of mathematics, and now Jiang Cheng has resolved more than one of these conundrums simultaneously.

This is a grand event for the entire mathematics community, and the impact is unimaginable.

So this matter has left the editor-in-chief so excited he could barely speak, urging his junior editor to quickly tell him the details.

The editor, seeing his boss so anxious, said, ”Your wording is still not accurate. You shouldn’t ask which Millennium Prize Problems Jiang Cheng solved, because this time Jiang Cheng solved all of them.”

The editor-in-chief of the Annals of Mathematics picked up his cup to take a drink and was shocked by what his junior editor said.

As a result, he spat out all the water in his mouth, drenching himself like a wet rooster.

But he didn’t care about his current messy appearance and, in disbelief, voiced his question.

What! Jiang Cheng solved all of them? There were five Millennium Prize Problems left! Did Jiang Cheng solve all of them this time?”

He could hardly believe that all the Millennium Prize Problems had been solved. Each of these problems is extremely complex, stumping countless brilliant mathematicians.

Now someone tells him that these problems have all been solved by one person; such an astonishing matter is beyond belief.

The editor, seeing his boss’s surprised face, chuckled to himself.

He himself was dumbfounded by this matter earlier, and now it’s his superior’s turn to feel the shock.

He handed over the printed papers to the editor-in-chief while saying: ”Initially, I also didn’t believe it, but the facts are laid out before us and allow no room for disbelief.

”These are all the papers Jiang Cheng recently sent us. If these five papers have no errors, Jiang Cheng indeed has resolved all the Millennium Prize Problems.

After speaking, the editor stopped talking, waiting to see how his boss would handle this matter.

The editor-in-chief of the Annals of Mathematics looked at the papers in his hand and found that there were indeed five papers, all concerning the Millennium Prize Problems.

Each paper solved one problem, and his editor was indeed correct.

Although the editor-in-chief’s mathematical skills are decent, he’s not qualified to review these papers.

So he instructed the junior editor, ”Take these papers and get them reviewed, and make sure it’s done quickly!

If Jiang Cheng’s papers are correct, we should publish them all in a single issue, creating a special edition of the Annals of Mathematics dedicated to Jiang Cheng’s five papers.

There’s quite a bit of content in Jiang Cheng’s papers, and if they’re all published, there won’t be room for anything else.

It’s possible an entire issue of the Annals of Mathematics might not be enough to publish them all, and we might have to wait until the next issue.

But the editor-in-chief is unwilling to do that, wanting to publish all of Jiang Cheng’s papers immediately.

Such important papers should, of course, be published right away. Waiting even one more day is like committing a crime against the mathematical community.

Therefore, the editor-in-chief plans to publish Jiang Cheng’s five papers in the same issue.

Since publishing Jiang Cheng’s papers leaves no room for others, they will just publish his five papers alone.

So he simply plans to make a special edition of the Annals of Mathematics specifically for Jiang Cheng’s five papers.

This way, there won’t be any concerns about lack of space; the special edition can include more content.

Moreover, this special edition can be made into a series, a special series on the Millennium Prize Problems.

After all, Jiang Cheng’s papers are all about the Millennium Prize Problems, so they can provide some relevant introductions in the special edition.

This special edition of the Annals of Mathematics holds a very special significance because, with its appearance, all Millennium Prize Problems will officially be solved.

In it, Jiang Cheng solved six mathematical problems, with one of them being completed earlier by someone else.

The special edition of the Annals of Mathematics also signifies the end of an era: the Millennium Prize Problems have finally become history.
