a(42) > 10^6.
See A331940 for more information on the Hardy-Littlewood constant. The polynomials described by this sequence are increasingly prime-avoiding.
The following table provides the minimum record values of C, together with the number of primes np generated by the polynomial P(x) = a(n)*x^2 - 1 for 1 <= x <= r = 10^8 and the actual ratio np*(P(r)/r)/Integral_{x=2..P(r)} 1/log(x) dx.
