Zhang Yuan had already practiced on the spacecraft for a year in advance, and was quite familiar with the structure of the entire living quarters.

When he woke up, his stomach was really hungry, and he walked out the door of his room, ready to go to the restaurant to get something to eat.

The air is fresh, and the pools around the corridor are covered with grapevine grass, which, when exposed to light, converts the carbon dioxide exhaled by humans into oxygen.

This seaweed plant grows very fast, producing sweet, grape-like fruit in about 28 days, and you can pick it as you like if you want to eat it, and everything on the roadside is free.

The electric lights on the ceiling are similar in color to sunlight. At night, these artificial light sources become more dim and soft. In this way, one can easily distinguish between day and night.

Several men and women passed by Zhang Yuan's side, talking excitedly.

"Carbon and oxygen cycling is a very advanced science. If the ratio of carbon dioxide to oxygen is out of control, people are susceptible to poisoning......"

"Microbial community control is the most important part of spacecraft environmental science, and it involves ......"

Along the way, Zhang Yuan heard many head-to-ear sounds, and there were many questions that he couldn't understand at all.

There's a very strong academic atmosphere here, with discussions about scientific issues, spaceships, the Fermi paradox, and aliens.

The astronaut exam is much more difficult than the college entrance examination, and the spacecraft integrates the best in all walks of life. Everyone has a fairly high level of self-awareness.

A desire to learn arises.

Everybody's working hard!

Hurry up and prepare to go back to exploding your liver after eating.

Rest?

Not needed!

At this time, Zhang Yuan saw a girl in a sailor suit looking around, looking lost.

She is about 1.6 meters tall and looks very cute.

"Do you need any help?"

Zhang Yuan thought that the other party might want to go to dinner. He was familiar with the ship, and it was not a good idea to do a little favor.

"Excuse me, how do you get to the life sciences conference hall here?" The girl's accent was a little strange, and according to Zhang Yuan's guess, it might be a foreigner.

Earthage's astronauts are recruited from all over the world, and it is normal to meet foreigners.

"Life Sciences Chamber?"

Zhang Yuan was slightly stunned, he didn't know where this meeting was held.

"That's it...... Academic conference chaired by Professor Medel. The girl said with a little embarrassment.

"Do you have a specific coordinates?"

"E-14 Sector."

"Oh, you're going in the wrong direction, you should go that way." Zhang Yuan smiled faintly and pointed in one of the directions, "Take about three or four hundred meters, turn left, and then get on the elevator." ”

"Thank you, I'm sorry for the trouble."

The girl bowed very politely and then turned away.

This is just a small episode, but Zhang Yuan's desire to learn is even greater!

The girl just now, who seemed to be his peers, was invited to some kind of life sciences conference.

Zhang Yuan let out a long sigh.

"There are no good papers, no high education, I don't even have the right to breathe, and undergraduates have really become the bottom ...... society"

"I guess there is no one with a lower education than me."

"I have to go and see how my paper is reviewed, it's been more than ten days since it was submitted......

After so many days, there should be a bit of a response.

I went to the canteen and picked up two mouthfuls of rice, and there was no special food, the vegetables were natural and pollution-free, and there was no water cultivation, but the meat dishes were all synthetic meat, and the taste was not very good.

Zhang Yuan hurried back to his dormitory, he docked to the spacecraft's communication system, and applied to access the Earth Internet.

[Hello, please select the data plan service you need to purchase.] 1 yuan = 1 GB. 】

The average distance between the Moon and the Earth is about 380,000 kilometers, and the communication speed of electromagnetic waves is the speed of light, and the delay of going back and forth can take more than two seconds, so it is basically impossible to play real-time online games.

However, it's okay to send an email, or make a phone call, or watch a video, as long as you can tolerate a two-second delay.

After a while, Zhang Yuan clicked on the mailbox and found that a reply letter had been lying there quietly.

I don't know where the review has been.

He opened the email a little anxiously, and his face changed slightly.

"Hello, your point of view is very good, but there are many things to be desired......"

“…… Therefore, it will not be considered for review. ”

What a situation!

Rejected manuscript?

Zhang Yuan frowned and read the email carefully.

The editor did not reject the submission outright, but proposed a number of amendments.

But if you want to revise it as required, the structure of the whole article has to be changed drastically, and it is no different from writing a new article.

Zhang Yuan sighed a few times, "Modern Science" is really not easy to publish.

He didn't want to waste too much time in this kind of place, maybe he rewrote an article, and the other party was still not satisfied?

He immediately made a phone call and asked Professor Wang Zhong on the earth to give him some guidance, which must be right.

"What? Modern Science rejection? Let you rewrite? ”

"yes, I'll forward the review email to you."

Professor Wang Zhong looked at the computer for a minute, and said a little strangely: "What kind of review opinion is this, isn't it embarrassing?" ”

He hesitated slightly, but as if he had thought of something, he whispered, "You only signed your name on this paper, right?" I've heard that some journal editors with bad character will take the opportunity to ask for bribes when they see that you don't have a backstage. Did he contact you privately and ask you for a bribe? ”

Zhang Yuan said in surprise: "I haven't been contacted privately...... Modern Science, is there such a journal editor?" ”

Professor Wang continued, "Everywhere, there is a dark side, and it has nothing to do with the influence of the journal. If someone does call you to ask for a bribe, you can record it and let me handle it. As for this matter, if you are in a hurry, you can submit it to another journal, such as Science Pioneer......"

"Although the impact factor is a little lower, we can speak on our side and can help you review the manuscript first. If you have any questions about this, you can consult Professor Lu. ”

Zhang Yuan made another call to Professor Lu Junzhe from the School of Mechanical Engineering at Xisha University.

"Didn't pass the first level?" Professor Lu Junzhe's voice became louder: "Modern Science" is really getting worse and worse, and you still need to change this kind of manuscript!" Who audited it? ”

All their follow-up work is based on Zhang Yuan's thesis, and now it has been beaten back, plus the annual evaluation will start in a few months, how can he not be in a hurry?

"I don't know who audited it." Zhang Yuandao, "Can I vote for "Science Pioneer"? ”

Lu Junzhe thought for a while and replied: "Well, "Science Pioneer" is also good, but the impact factor is slightly lower, if you don't mind, you can vote." ”

"I will call Editor Hu and ask him to help review the manuscript quickly."

Of course, Zhang Yuan doesn't mind, he just wants his paper to be published as soon as possible.

It's gold that always shines, is it possible to change the journal and be afraid of being buried?
