Jeffrey is in his fifties, in fact, he has passed the golden age of a researcher, but this discovery made him feel like he was twenty years ago, and he concocted the paper directly after an all-night on the ship.

And at this moment, although Geoffrey is not at the peak of his own intelligence, he is at the peak of his power.

He is a reviewer, editor, and even editor-in-chief of a top marine science journal.

After he wrote the article, he first sent an email to another editor under his staff, and immediately began to publish his paper to his friends, who are also other reviewers.

Of course, you should send this discovery to your friends as soon as possible to show and share, and at the same time tell them: "This is my discovery, don't grab it, my paper has been written!"

As soon as the paper was sent, it was immediately ridiculed by his friends: "Conona, you old dog, aren't you crazy...... How is it possible for a whale to sing a human song?"

"yes, this old dog must be crazy!"

"I've studied whales all my life, and no one knows whales better than me, and it's impossible for whales to sing human songs!"

Faced with the doubts of his old friends, Jeffrey was not afraid at all, and mocked: "If you don't believe it, won't you listen to it yourself? If your ears are not deaf, or are you too old to hear?"

A moment of silence followed.

Jeffrey's friends are basically the best oceanographic researchers and marine biology researchers on the West Coast of the United States, and several of them work in Hawaii.

They have set up various underwater acoustic research and collection points all over the world.

After pulling up the recording and hearing the whale's song, the old guys' eyes were about to pop out.

How is this possible!

Whales are actually singing human songs!

This melody, this rhythm, this key, is definitely human music!

"Damn, let your old dog find out first, and write the paper first! Shit! This is the biggest breakthrough in cetacean research in recent years!"

"Even a blind old dog can't starve to death, and he can always pick up sausages discarded by others!"

"I'll see what you old dog thinks about it......"

Despite the sarcasm, envy and hatred, Jeffrey's friends still passed the review of the paper, but in just a few hours, it was decided to publish the article in the next issue of the journal.

After going through this process, Jeffrey sent out an online publication directly on the journal's website, posting a partial abstract.

This can also be regarded as enclosure, this kind of paper involving "discovery", it is really whoever is fast, who will take advantage.

This can be regarded as a wide publicity.

After all this, he breathed a sigh of relief.

This race against the clock is finally over.

Then, he opened his mailbox and found that in his mailbox, there was a paper lying quietly, also about the change of whale songs.

The paper, from an oceanographer at the University of Indonesia, Subianto, has been lying quietly in Jeffrey's mailbox for more than a day.

Seeing this paper, Jeffrey pursed his lips disdainfully, then wrote a random comment back, and typed the paper back.

Are there any great oceanographers in Indonesia?

Moreover, the truth is not in the hands of those who first discovered it, but in the hands of those who published their papers early.

How is it possible to compete with me in my journal?

With this arrogance, Jeffrey stretched, turned and went back to sleep.

After such a toss, he hasn't closed his eyes for 28 hours.

For a person who is over half a hundred years old, he is already completely overdrawn.

He returned to the cabin and collapsed on the bed, and immediately fell asleep.

On the other side, at the University of Indonesia, a middle-aged man habitually clicked his mailbox.

He is Subianto, an oceanographer at the University of Indonesia.

Although I know that every paper may be a long wait after it is sent, sometimes it will take months or even ten months to be published.

But the timeliness of this paper is so strong that Subianto really doesn't want to wait for a minute.

Ever since he sent out the paper yesterday, he's been in a state of anxiety, and almost every five minutes, he subconsciously refreshes his mailbox.

Just after he refreshed his mailbox for the 172nd time, he suddenly heard a ding-dong sound in his mailbox, and an email was sent back.

"Sorry, your paper lacks originality, so it will not be published for the time being, please revise it before submitting......"

Seeing this receipt, Subianto's head exploded with a "boom".

It's over!

The so-called "lack of originality" must be the same as others, and someone has taken the lead!

Faster than others to write papers and publish papers?

Subianto touched his half-bald head, his brow furrowed deeply.

It's hard to get any results from the study of whale songs, after all, who cares what whales sing in the sea?

But it's different when whales start singing human songs.

This kind of research can well satisfy the curiosity of human beings.

Scientific research is not cold and isolated, and in scientific research, there is still an eyeball economy.

Scientists, like the general public, are more likely to be drawn to sensationalist research.

In addition to attracting the attention of peers, attracting the attention of the general public is also of great benefit to research.

What is attention? Attention is more funding, more donations, more research results!

Just look at Gu Xiaobai, researchers all over China and even the world, seeing his research environment and funding sources, it is estimated that their eyes will be jealous, and when others are still trying their best to beg grandpa and grandma everywhere in order to apply for millions of research funds, his fans can donate hundreds of millions of research funds to him!

If this does not produce results, how can it produce results?

And there are many more such examples. In order to improve his status and status, Hawking wrote the world's best-selling popular science book "A Brief History of Time"; In order to prevent the U.S. government from reducing its own funds, NASA has to hype up some big news every once in a while, brushing up its own sense of existence, including many world-class news, and the results are obvious.

That's where fame and presence come in.

Subianto is one of the best oceanographers at the University of Indonesia, but after all, the University of Indonesia is not owned by his family, and his funds are also stretched, and if he can, he also wants to get a research ship and drift on the ocean, instead of renting a small fishing boat every time and putting up with the smell of fishermen and fish.

And such an achievement is the first step for him to achieve his life's goal.

But now, his normal path has been blocked......

But that's okay...... I can go the other way!

Subianto ran to the principal, and within a few hours, a press conference was launched!
