Super Island Tycoon-Chapter 618 - 617: Difficult Problem

When Jiang Cheng and his companions ended their journey and returned to Luo City, it was right after Jiang Cheng had solved all the millennium prize problems.

Currently, Jiang Cheng had five papers on hand, each representing a difficult mathematical problem.

He had solved all these mathematical problems during his travels and even took the time to write the papers.

This means that the millennium prize problems that the Clay Mathematics Institute offers a million US Dollar reward for have all been dealt with by Jiang Cheng.

Future mathematicians who want to become famous by solving these problems will find it an impossible task.

With all the problems solved by Jiang Cheng, what do they have left to make a name for themselves?

Once Jiang Cheng completely solved all the millennium prize problems, a huge change was set to occur in the entire mathematics community.

At the very least, young mathematicians will all have to change their research directions; the millennium prize problems are no longer what they need to study.

However, Jiang Cheng did not disclose to the public the news that the millennium prize problems had been thoroughly solved; he didn't even tell the women close to him.

The three of them only knew that during the journey, Jiang Cheng was researching something, but they didn't pay attention to the specifics.

At that time, the three of them were busy playing, too occupied to concern themselves with what Jiang Cheng was researching.

Currently, Jiang Cheng still had five papers on hand; if these papers were released together, they would definitely cause an upheaval in the entire mathematics community.

Solving these five mathematical challenges is truly a major event for the field of mathematics.

Many university mathematics textbooks will need to be rewritten, and countless mathematicians will have to change their research directions.

Nonetheless, this news has been kept a tight secret by Jiang Cheng, and no one outside is aware of this astonishing information.

Every time Jiang Cheng solved a mathematical challenge before, he would write the paper and then save it.

He didn't immediately publish the papers for everyone to know of the news.

Jiang Cheng's plan was to handle this as a big event, submitting all five papers simultaneously to make a grand impression in the academic community.

Submitting five papers of significant importance at once is something unprecedented.

When a scientist achieves major results, they usually want the entire world to know as soon as possible.

Papers can't produce offspring on their own; keeping them in hand serves no purpose.

No one else does it like Jiang Cheng, where after arriving at results, rather than publishing, he keeps them all in his hand.

The more unprecedented an action, the more Jiang Cheng wants to try it, so he restrained his excitement and kept all the papers with him at the time.

This time, Jiang Cheng plans to make his papers go viral in the mathematics community, giving it a good shock.

The thought of his papers going viral excites Jiang Cheng, as he has always enjoyed such thrilling experiences.

Now that Jiang Cheng's journey has ended, it's also time for those papers to make their appearance.

Once back in Luo City, Jiang Cheng sent the papers to the Annals of Mathematics.

Since his previous mathematical papers were published in this journal, Jiang Cheng didn't bother changing venues this time.

After all, this journal holds significant influence in the mathematics community, and publishing in the Annals of Mathematics is quite suitable.

After Jiang Cheng sent the five papers to the Annals of Mathematics, he didn't continue dealing with this matter.

There were many things waiting for him to handle after being away from Luo City for so long; he didn't have the time to concern himself with these matters.

As for what impact these papers will have on the academic world, that's not Jiang Cheng's concern.

Jiang Cheng has always been someone who only handles the deed, not the aftermath; let the outside world fuss as it might.

His submission of five exceptionally important papers at once immediately caused a huge stir within the editorial department of the Annals of Mathematics.

When an editor at the Annals of Mathematics saw Jiang Cheng's papers in the email, he was so shocked he couldn't speak.

Just by seeing the titles of those papers, he knew their immense value.

Mathematical papers of this caliber rarely appear in a given year.

The last occurrence was Jiang Cheng's paper solving the Riemann Hypothesis, after which no papers of such weight appeared again.

Now, with five appearing at once, how could he not be astonished?

And the fact that these papers were submitted by the same person made it even harder for him to accept.

If it weren't for Jiang Cheng being the author, he would have thought it was someone playing a joke on their journal, sending in fake papers to deceive them.

But with Jiang Cheng's name on all of these papers, it put the editor in a difficult position.

With his mathematical knowledge, he couldn't determine the validity of these papers; he had to get others to evaluate them.

Not daring to make a mistake on such significant matters, he took the papers directly to the office of the chief editor.

"Chief, we just received papers from Jiang Cheng again, they are about the millennium prize problems just like the last time he sent us papers."

"I'm not taking it upon myself to decide, so I'm bringing them over for you to see and determine how to handle this matter."

Upon hearing about Jiang Cheng's papers, the chief editor of the Annals of Mathematics broke into a happy smile.

Having Jiang Cheng submit papers to them for publication is certainly a testament to their journal's value.

This chief editor couldn't be happier if Jiang Cheng's papers increased in number, especially as they concern the millennium prize problems, which happen to be his favorite kind.

Every time such high-impact papers appear is a time when their journal makes a name for itself in the academic community.

The chief editor of the Annals of Mathematics became immensely pleased upon hearing about another paper from Jiang Cheng.

He had just been worrying about the lack of quality papers in this issue of the journal.

Little did he expect that not long after, an editor rushed over to tell him that Jiang Cheng was once again submitting papers for publication.

This chief editor has always had confidence in Jiang Cheng's papers, so his worries about this issue of the journal were instantly allayed.

With Jiang Cheng's papers as the cornerstone, there would be nothing questionable about the content.

The chief editor, excitedly addressing his editor, said: "Jiang Cheng's papers? That's excellent! Recently, the quality of papers in our journal has declined a bit; Jiang Cheng's papers arrived just in time and can be featured in this issue right away!"

"Jiang Cheng truly lives up to his reputation! It's hardly been long, and he has submitted such important papers again, still on the millennium prize problems; he must have solved another mathematical challenge."
