After Gu Zhen sent the paper, he could only wait patiently for the answer.

The academic authors who can have a private relationship with a federal magazine like "Secret" are basically well-known scholars.

Gu Zhen, as a nobody who has not yet graduated, is not qualified to take the initiative to ask for answers or anything.

And the reason why he sent this paper is actually very simple, that is, he wants to tell the world that there was once a civilization called "Huaxia".

Although it is not yet possible to prove its splendor, it is enough to prove its existence!

At that time, the Chinese compatriots will no longer be called the descendants of the wandering civilization......

Of course, there is another point that should be systematic.

Every time Gu Zhen opens the system panel, he can see that below the character attributes, there is a line of data.

They are "archaeological discoveries", "academic status" and "academic achievements".

Now these three attributes, Gu Zhen has "none" written on them.

Although the system does not clearly write out how the three attributes should be obtained, it can be seen that this is all related to academics, or Gu Zhen's influence in the academic world.

Therefore, improving his influence in the archaeological academic community has also become a goal that Gu Zhen needs to achieve now.

As for ways to increase academic influence, is there anything that goes beyond academic papers?

As soon as Gu Zhen sent the paper, he stayed at home, and he was not in a hurry, because he knew the results of the paper review, and it was impossible to come out in just a few days. As a federal-level academic paper, "Secret" is only published once a month, and the review of papers is also very strict. The night before its release, there were not a few articles that were retracted.

In the next few days, Gu Zhen was pulled to "Gu Guzhai" by Gu Dafu and asked him to take care of the business in the store, while Gu Dafu didn't know where to go, and it was likely that he would go to secretly tinker with the "model machine".

The proprietors on the antique street in Daxiong City also know that a new face has appeared in the time-honored Gu Gu Zhai. You don't need to ask, as long as you hear Gu Zhen's name and look at his face, you will know that it is the "little Gu boss" of this store.

Boss Xiao Gu looked at the store for a few days and found that there were a lot of things in his store, but he didn't find any real thing. I don't know, what Gu Dafu relied on to make Gu Guzhai take root on this street for decades.

And coincidentally, in the past few days, many people have come to Gu Guzhai with their "old things" at home to sell. You must know that in ordinary antique shops, in addition to selling things, they will naturally also collect things. It's normal for someone to sell something in the store.

But Gu Zhen didn't accept any of them, and every antique can tell where it is!

Soon, everyone on the antique street knew that Boss Xiao Gu was a top student of the Department of Archaeology of Paddy University, not a child who could be fooled. After a few days, no one came back to the store to sell old things.

Gu Zhen knew in his heart that this was because of his eyesight, which had been recognized by his peers on the street.

……

In the political capital of the Federation, the city of Lion King.

George, the review editor of Secret magazine, took the elevator to the eighteenth floor of the Lighthouse Building.

Since its establishment, the Lighthouse Building has been a landmark building in the federal capital, with a total of 35 floors and 137 academic magazines.

From the most popular biological sciences to the most unpopular archaeology, philosophy, etc., you can find them all in the Lighthouse Building. And most of them are federal-level journals of various disciplines, and a few are provincial-level magazines. It is said that when the building is named, it means that it can guide the progress of human science like a lighthouse.

The security guards here know that there are only two kinds of people who will enter and exit the lighthouse, one is an editor and the other is an academic.

George, as a scholar among the two people, naturally stopped in front of the front desk when he came to the magazine, and hugged the stack of emails taken out by the front desk.

Despite the unpopularity of archaeology, as the only federal journal of archaeology, it receives at least a few dozen submissions a day. The archaeologists of the entire federation are counted in tens of thousands.

George, the editor-in-chief of the review, walked to his office area after picking up the email, and the door number next to it reads "Preliminary Review Editorial Team".

After distributing dozens of emails to the editorial team, George also left a few documents in his hands. Although he is the editor-in-chief, he is still responsible for the preliminary review of some submitted articles.

"Hey, you don't seem to have made any big discoveries lately?"

Archaeology is a discipline that rarely requires calculations.

Therefore, a good paper is generally not the result of experiments and calculations. Rather, it is only after excavation that new discoveries can be made. I haven't heard of any archaeological discoveries recently, and the submissions during this period seem very common, even a little boring.

George twisted his neck and took out an article again, and the title of the article, in addition to English, had two symbols that he had not seen before, which immediately attracted George's attention.

Decades of experience have made him keenly smell the difference from the two symbols.

The reason is very simple, these two incomprehensible square characters are new things, and the favorite of the archaeological community is something new that has never been discovered. What's more, this thing is a lot like two new words.

In "The Discovery of Chinese Civilization", in this paper, the word "Huaxia" is written directly in Chinese characters. The following text is in the federal English.

Now George doesn't know what "Huaxia" means, but after seeing the title, he is very excited. Because from the English that follows, it can be seen that someone has discovered a new prehistoric civilization?

It is important to know that every discovery of prehistoric civilization will have a sensational effect in the Federation, and it is an important discovery in the archaeological community.

In the content of the paper, George found the following article.

"The Chinese civilization, pronounced huaxia, was an important civilization in prehistoric Asia. Although there have been no cultural relics of the Chinese civilization unearthed before, it is impossible to prove the extent of the development of the Chinese civilization for the time being, but now a relevant dictionary book has been unearthed, and according to the information identified after the text comparison, the civilization is called the Huaxia ......"

"From the analysis of books unearthed from the dictionary, the Chinese civilization originated from the prehistoric ancient Asian plate and belongs to an Asian civilization ......"

At the back of the article, there are also several photos with the cover of the dictionary and a photo of the inside page of the dictionary. Whether it is from the cover, the table of contents, or the inside pages, it is obvious that this is a dictionary.

The discovery of a new word is a whole dictionary.

George's hand holding the paper, already trembling slightly, walked into the editor-in-chief's office with the paper.

With this paper, he believes that the next issue of "The Secret" will be very exciting.

"Huaxia ......"

George muttered a brand new word in his mouth, and the colleague who passed him heard these two strange syllables, not realizing how much it meant.
