”to search for prime number sequences, sequences of numbers with many prime numbers along them, the classic example being the Mersenne primes, of the form 2^n - 1.”
Many? The 34th mersenne prime has n > 1,000,000, the 47th n > 40,000,000 (https://www.mersenne.org/primes/), we know of only 50 ones, and that might even be all of them (we don’t even know whether infinitely many exist)
