Act VII. Write a dissertation
At night, the Crescent Academy seemed quiet and serene, the time had long passed the point where the lights were out, and the entire college was shrouded in darkness, except for a few bright street lamps in the square, the flickering lights of the principal's office were still shining.
Reiner sat at his desk, he wasn't sleeping, but was focusing on the work in front of him.
He picked up the quill pen, a popular writing instrument in the Middle Ages that needed to be constantly dipped in ink to write, and Reiner was worried about writing at first, but later he realized that at least the body had learned to read and write, and the handwriting was quite beautiful.
At first, Reiner just wanted to see if he had the benefits of the so-called time-traveler.
Usually, most of the traversers will carry plug-ins such as game systems, brain libraries, special talents, wonderful rings, brain chips, smartphones, mentally retarded goddesses, etc., and after Reiner confirmed that he had no system, no special talents, and no special rings around him, he began to see if he could copy books and songs.
He reminisced about the masterpieces on Earth, and soon Reiner realized that he could recall Victor. The plot of Hugo and Notre-Dame de Paris, but it is impossible to write it silently, and as for those ballads, Reiner can retell them through notation, but it is only simple, and it is still a little disturbing for him to compose a symphony of fate.
"It seems that there is no ...... of cheating"
Reiner sighed, the current crossing is really getting more and more picky.
Since he failed to try, he could only rely on memory and write papers while studying.
Fortunately, this experiment is the simplest and most basic and does not require much expertise.
Reiner first wrote the title of the paper on parchment.
"Discussion on the Special Gases Produced in Limestone Heating Experiments and Several Problems in the Theory of Traditional Combustion Reactions".
Of course, he couldn't just write a headline like the fallacy of the burning reaction, even if it was true, because Reiner knew that doing scholarship was different from journalism, and if he had put out this shocking point of view from the beginning, there would never be a single journal that dared to publish his paper.
It may even be rejected at the judging stage because it is too grandstanding.
So Reiner chose to go step by step, starting with basic experiments, and then making the results of the reaction acceptable step by step, and finally putting forward his own argument.
After writing the title, Reiner went straight to writing the introduction in the format of a paper on Earth.
"Abstract: The special gas that appears in the process of heating limestone to make white rock has been discovered and its existence has been proved, and its properties have been explored through various alchemical methods......"
Reiner has looked through several of the latest journals, and the papers in this world have not yet formed the standard format on the earth, and they are basically written according to their own preferences, and some people will also imitate the format of academic masters, so Reiner of course chose the way he is most familiar with.
"Isn't it good that you don't need to translate this summary into English......
Reiner laughed to himself, and after writing the abstract, he added a few more keywords.
Limestone, white rock, new substance, combustion reaction.
With that out of the way, Reiner started the first chapter and began to write his dissertation step by step.
"Chapter 1, Conversion of Limestone to White Rock and Its Basic Experiments: It is well known that in daily industrial production, limestone heating is an extremely common process, and the product of which is white rock can be used to make several important raw materials for construction......"
Reiner writes very quickly, partly because he can write a lot, and although he doesn't have references, he doesn't have to worry about duplicating other papers, and partly because he hasn't enjoyed this kind of clear-thinking essay writing process for a long time.
When he was in college, he was originally a scholar, and he should have enjoyed the qualification of Baoyan, but the changes in his family made him have to come out to work early and give up the academic path, as for being targeted in school, that is another story.
There were a few cat meows outside the window, half of spring had passed, and the temperature at night had risen a lot, but it still seemed a little cold, but Reiner did not feel cold, but it was like a fire burning in his heart, and there was a trace of warmth spread on his body.
It wasn't until the sky was bright and there was a little whiteness in the east that Reiner put the quill down.
He counted them, and he wrote a full thirty pages of paper.
Although the history of modern magic is only three hundred years, the magic of this world has formed an academic atmosphere, and if you want to earn academic points, you must first send your paper to the Rainbow Tower, which is the magic center of this world.
According to Reiner's final registration process from several journals, if a paper wants to be published, it will first be backed up in the huge database of the Rainbow Tower, and then it will pass a repetitive review, and the reviewers will use magic to check whether the paper is plagiarized or whether it is a duplicate content that has been studied by others, and this process can last up to a day.
Generally speaking, an ordinary paper will be reviewed by three members, and if there is a huge disagreement, it will be submitted to a higher committee member for review until the evaluation is given, and this process will generally range from one to five days depending on the paper.
After getting the evaluation, the result will be notified to the writer, and the writer can use it to submit the manuscript to major journals and get academic points, but generally speaking, if it is a high-rated paper, it will be invited by a senior journal after the review, of course, these are all later.
Reiner checked his words again, stretched, rubbed his sleepy eyes, and walked out of the office with the paper, but he didn't expect to meet Teacher Claire.
At this time, Teacher Claire was still dressed as a witch, but she could see a black and white set of clothes in her hand, which must be the maid costume of this world.
"Good morning, Mr. Claire."
Reiner yawned and looked lazy, causing Claire to frown slightly.
"Mr. Headmaster, didn't you go back to your room to sleep last night?"
She was surprised to see that the lights in the principal's office were still on behind Reiner.
"Well, I'm too involved in writing a paper, and it's time to look up...... Hah-"
With that, Reiner yawned again, and continued.
"By the way, Mr. Claire, this is a paper, please give it to Xia Luo and let her read it carefully, mark what she doesn't understand or have problems, and find me in the office after dinner today, well, if you don't worry, you can also come along."
He stuffed the paper to Claire, apparently going to get some sleep.
"Of course, it's better to keep your promises as well."
Reiner added another knife and glanced at the maid outfit in Claire's hand.
"You ......"
Claire took the paper in a daze, and it wasn't until Reiner staggered around the corner that she came to her senses and opened the thick pile of parchment in her hand with some anger.
"Discussion about the special gases produced in limestone heating experiments...... Wait, isn't it? ”
She already had a hunch when she read the title, and after quickly flipping through the paper, Claire felt a little unsteady, and she leaned against the wall, a little unable to believe what she had just seen.
"Such a rigorous, straightforward, and informative paper, that guy got it out in one night, isn't it really cheating?"
