Chapter 148: Kissing the donkey's ass
"Lao Qi, are you sure that this paper is really made by your student Liu Feng, not you?"
In a building of the Beijing Positron Collider National Laboratory, Professor Qin Zhiyong sat in his office, holding Liu Feng's paper in his hand, and talking on the phone with Professor Qi Xin with a serious face.
Co-author, you even thought it was me who wrote the paper? Listening to his old friend Qin Zhi's suspicious inquiry, Qi Xin couldn't cry or laugh.
"How could it be that I did it? It's not that you don't know, I study condensed matter physics, and I have no interest in high-energy physics at all! Besides, I've been busy with my own affairs all this time, where do I have time to work on your project? Who is it that I didn't do it as a student?"
"Really?" Qin Zhi used the suspicious look on his face to reced, and instead replaced it with a face full of curiosity.
He always thought that this was done by Qi Xin, and the reason why he didn't admit it before was not because he was afraid that the paper was not up to level and would lose face as Professor Qi University! But when he told him that this paper was very high-level and had perfectly solved the subject, the old friend on the other side still refused to admit it, and Qin Zhiyong knew that he might have really misunderstood something.
With his understanding of Qi Xin, this guy is a very face-loving person, if he really solved any topic, I am afraid that he would have already shouted that he made it himself, and he can't wait to make it known to everyone in the world, this time he is so humble, and he also pushes the results on his students, I am afraid that it is really like what this guy said, this paper was really made by this classmate named Liu Feng.
Alas, who is this Liu Feng? He actually has this level! Moreover, he happened to be accepted into the disciple by this guy Lao Qi? Why is such a person not his disciple!
Sighing, Professor Qin's face was complicated: "Alas, if that's the case, I'm afraid you've really picked up a treasure!"
The reason why Qin Zhiyong reacted like this was that Qi Xin's heart was like a mirror.
With the degree of evil of his student, it doesn't seem to be such a sensational thing to make any kind of moth on this topic, after all, when Liu Feng completed this paper before, he was almost frightened and his jaw dropped!
That's why Qin Zhi used these people who had no intersection with Liu Feng to make a fuss.
I saw Qi Xin smile and pretended to be puzzled and asked Professor Qin, "What do you say?"
"According to common sense, even if the project I gave you was to be done by someone from our side, it would take at least a year and a half, not to mention someone who had never been in contact with the Positron Collider before. ”
Qin Zhiyong explained seriously, his tone full of doubts about life: "Who is your student Liu Feng, who has never been in contact with the electron collider, and can actually analyze the experimental data obtained by the collider so thoroughly! And it is still within a month, it is simply unheard of and unseen! Even I am ashamed of myself." I feel like an old fritter who has been engaged in high-energy physics research for more than ten years!"
Our disciple really gives himself a long face!
"Hahaha", Qi Xin laughed, "You don't look at whose apprentice it is!"
Hearing Qin Zhiyong's high opinion of Liu Feng, he felt very proud.
But after the pride, Qi Xin couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, after all, Liu Feng's ability to achieve such results was completely the result of others' own efforts, and he, the mentor, never seemed to have instructed others!
Thinking of this, the smile on Qi Xin's face gradually faded, straightened his expression, and explained to his old friend in a calm tone: "Actually, my disciple's fame is even greater than that of my mentor! Maybe you have also heard that not long ago, in the chemistry world next door, this kid just won the Qinghua Award, and he is also the youngest winner in history! What's more, not long ago, this guy also became the youngest doctor in the history of Huaguo, and public opinion is surging......
"Hmm, it's him!No wonder I sound so familiar with this name!" Professor Qin suddenly realized.
He also heard about this Dr. Liu Feng, and after hearing about him some time ago, he sighed with his colleagues for a while, thinking that there are successors in Huaguo, and they must contact him when they have time, but he didn't expect that he would have an intersection with him in an instant, which is really a creation and a trick!
"Hasn't he been doing chemistry all the time, how did you get people to come to you to study physics?"
Qin Zhiyong was very curious.
"Well, that's a long story......"
Subsequently, Qi Xin told all the beginnings of how he brought Liu Feng under his door.
"It's really terrifying!"
After listening to Qi Xin's story, Qin Zhiyong gave a thumbs up.
A young man like Liu Feng, who has made great achievements in an industry, can still withstand the temptation of fame and fortune, never forget his original intention, re-devote himself to his favorite industry, and climb new heights.
Therefore, Qin Zhiyong couldn't help but love talents.
"Such a talent, don't delay others, since he intends to develop in high-energy physics, he should come to our Beijing Positron Collision Laboratory, what do you say?"
……
Just as Professor Qin Zhiyong was about to dig into the wall with his friend, Ms. McNutt, the editor-in-chief of the scientific journal, was also receiving a work report from his subordinate editor.
As one of the most authoritative academic journals in the world, Science Magazine was founded by Edison in 1880, and in 1894 it became the official journal of the "Association for the Promotion of Science in Country M", the largest scientific group in country M.
As a result, as in Nature magazines, thousands of manuscripts are submitted to the editorial offices of scientific journals every day.
"Ms. McNutt, I've heard that the journal Nature is already considering further technical classification of the submitted papers, which are divided into two categories, new and old, according to the previous submission records of the contributors...... This will greatly improve our work efficiency and reduce our editorial burden, do you think you also suggested it above?"
A middle-aged man in a formal suit with a somewhat bald head reported.
"Mr. Donald, I don't care what the situation is with Nature Magazine, I just need you to do your part and don't miss a valuable article, and I'll think carefully about what I suggest to the above. ”
The lady named McNut glared at the middle-aged man with a stern look, and then looked around at all the editors present, and her aura was powerful.
"Is there anything else you need to report?"
"Ms. McNutt, I have a situation to report to you!" a little girl with a ponytail who looked to be only in her twenties raised her hand, and said a little timidly under Ms. McNett's powerful aura.
"Miss Betty, don't be so restrained, you say. ”
McNutt stretched out his hand and made a gesture of please, encouraging. Although this little girl is indeed a little timid, she is extremely conscientious and responsible in her work, so she has a good impression of the little girl.
"That's right, ma'am. I received a strange email with 16 papers, all written by the same person, so I thought it was strange and looked it up on the Internet......"
The little girl still looked a little timid, her voice was as small as a mosquito, and she looked up at several colleagues around her, and stopped talking.
You continue. ”
McNutt continued to encourage.
"The author of the paper is named Liu Feng, who has a very high degree of attainment in the field of reverse osmosis materials, and he has submitted several papers in the journal Nature some time ago, and they have been published, so I think it is necessary to pay attention to it, Ms. McNutt, what do you think?"
"Very well, Betty, you did a good job!"
When they heard that they had submitted articles to their rival Nature magazine, and now they had submitted them again, was they dissatisfied with Nature Magazine?
The patronage of customers is the best recognition of their work, and her joy is natural to see her competitors deflated.
While she was delighted, she couldn't help but be a little interested in this scholar named Liu Feng.
"What is the scientific paper he sends to us, and what is it about?"
"Madam, these 16 papers are all papers in the same field, on new materials for reverse osmosis membranes for water treatment. ”
"Huh, huh?"
As soon as she heard that it was the same industry or 16 papers, McNutt subconsciously frowned, according to her previous experience, how could this guy be suspected of becoming a paper brush!
"Betty, you just follow the normal procedure and don't pay too much attention......"
"But," Betty said with some thought, "what if all of these papers passed the peer review process?"
The little girl hesitated, she had already read these papers, and from her experience of graduating from Harvard University, each of these papers was written at a very good level, and once they passed the peer review, how should they be published in scientific journals? Every issue of the magazine was selected for these articles, and if all of them were published at once, what would happen to the other articles? Therefore, she meant to simply select these papers and make them into a special issue!
However, her proposal was unanimously opposed by several other editors at the time.
"Haha, my little sister Betty, do you really believe that this kind of guy can pass the peer review?" Donald suddenly took over and said with a smile, "A guy like this looks like a paper! I bet that if one or two papers can be passed, I'll kiss the donkey's butt! So, don't worry, there's really no problem, don't pay too much attention!"
"But ......"
"Alright, Betty!"
Ms. McNutt began to wrap up.
"Wait a minute, you can send me all these papers to see, if there is really a potential to pass the peer review, I will personally arrange for the publication at that time!"
