Jan 20, 2023 at 15:40 comment added user178594 I think DHR sieve can help to prove that the number of the positive integers $n\le$ such that $n^2+n+1$ is prime is at least $c\cdot\dfrac{n}{log(n)log(log(n))}$ for some positive constant $c$ and therefore that sum of their reciprocal diverges at least as fast as $log(log(log(n)))$, and that the similar results hold for any other irreducible quadratic polynomial.
