Chapter 21: Lao Kong: I am a good teacher
Kong Wenjian's temperament has always been vigorous and resolute.
As soon as he made a decision, he immediately mobilized his contacts, found friends from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, and helped bring millet noodles, shelled millet and millet from Gansu, Hebei, Liaoning, and Shanxi.
The buddies of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences are really fast.
The next day, these millets and millets from different origins were sent to Lajia Village and delivered to Chen Han's hand.
Looking at the big bag of yellow rice noodles in front of him, Chen Han looked up to the sky with blank eyes and sighed.
"Teacher, I can take this task, but you have to arrange a few more knowledgeable helpers for me!"
"It's better to be from the North, and you did housework as a child, so you know how to make pasta!"
"Otherwise, I won't be able to do it!"
Kong Wenjian, who accompanied him to receive these goods, smiled: "Don't worry, this topic is so important, I will give you a cover." ”
"I said that I let you take the lead, could it be that I really let it go if I became a teacher?"
"Letting you take the lead in the research of noodle reproduction is for your own good, paving the way for you!"
"Not to mention anything else, on this topic, if you can really reproduce this noodle, this bowl of noodles unearthed from the Lajia site can become ironclad evidence."
"Then we can at least publish a paper in Nature."
"A paper that can be published in Nature, even if you have a third author, let alone a master's degree, you can graduate with a doctorate!"
Any tutor, although he claims to treat his students equally.
But in fact, there will still be differential treatment such as three, six, nine, etc.
Excellent students, students who can create academic value for their tutors, will naturally be treated differently by their teachers.
On the road of scientific research, it is normal for teachers and students to support each other.
Of course, those unscrupulous tutors and academic garbage without any teacher ethics are naturally not counted.
Anyway, Kong Wenjian is not that kind of person.
In any case, Chen Han was also the first discoverer of this bowl of noodles.
And in the short few months that he came to Kong Wenjian to study for a doctorate, Kong Wenjian had a very good impression of him.
In his opinion, Chen Han is a very valuable student, and he is a good seedling worthy of his energy to help pave the way.
I will definitely be able to make a great contribution to the archaeological community in the future!
Therefore, after Chen Han proposed that a kind of "suo cake" pasta making process was recorded in the "Interpretation of Names", he pushed the boat and asked Chen Han to take the lead in the experiment.
Regardless of whether Chen Han can make a bowl of noodles out of millet flour in the end.
As long as he is deeply involved, it will produce research results, whether it is the right result or the process of failure, which is all worked on for this topic.
Later, the Institute of Archaeology of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences published any papers related to the bowl of noodles at the Lajia site, and Chen Han was indispensable to sign it.
Don't underestimate this benefit.
For a Ph.D. student, any SCI impact factor should not be missed!
What's more, this kind of big discovery that is enough to subvert the world archaeological community, Chen Han can get a lot of influence benefits from it.
Of course, the premise is that the mentor is willing to give him some benefits.
Fortunately, Kong Wenjian is not the kind of tutor who likes to eat alone and squeeze the students under him.
Otherwise, if you change to a black-hearted mentor, it may be that Chen Han has been involved in this topic from beginning to end, working and contributing, being a cow and a horse, but the final reports and papers published are all the honor of the mentor and have nothing to do with him.
This is not alarmist, the academic tutors in the domestic academic community who like to do this are not one or two, and they catch a lot of them!
Chen Han has heard some senior brothers from other majors complain in the past that they are tired and tired every day after being admitted to graduate school, and the results are all from their mentors.
Now Kong Wenjian's behavior made him quite moved.
Theoretically, the paper written by Kong Wenjian as the first author has nothing to do with Chen Han.
But he is willing to let Chen Han sign it, which is really good.
If Kong Wenjian publishes a paper in a general journal, then the role of the third author is indeed very small and will not be cared about.
But when it comes to papers sent to Nature, the effect is not ordinary, even if it is the third author, it can even have an impact on the evaluation of professional titles.
Moreover, the bowl of noodles unearthed from the Lajia site is definitely not something that can be finished with a paper.
At least five or six papers can be produced on this topic.
One of the most important papers, similar to the "General Outline", must be Kong Wenjian as the first author, and Chen Han can only hang three works.
But around this big topic, Chen Han himself can also write several related papers to submit to Chinese core journals.
Just like the reproduction of millet noodles that he is going to do next, it is enough to put it into domestic journals such as "Archaeology and Cultural Relics", "Journal of Anthropology", "Archaeology" and "Cultural Relics".
I don't dare to say much, at least he doesn't have to worry about his doctoral graduation.
Given the importance of the archaeological discoveries at the Lajia site, it should be no problem for Chen Han to publish one or two papers as the first author in core journals.
It's just that he didn't think that he could brush his face on "Nature" before!
The mentor was willing to take him and pretend to take him to fly.
That's great!
"Teacher, I must work hard to reproduce this bowl of noodles as soon as possible!"
Chen Han was like being beaten with chicken blood, his fighting spirit was ignited, and he loudly issued a military order to Kong Wenjian.
"Hahaha! Good! Kong Wenjian patted Chen Han's shoulder with great satisfaction: "That's right!" ”
"The research team will be led by yourself, and I will give you approval if you want to transfer anyone!"
"Hurry up and get to work!"
After Kong Wenjian put down these words, he took the leadership step with his hands behind his back, and walked back to the courtyard in a leisurely manner, looking like he had completely delegated power.
Chen Han was full of fighting spirit, so he moved the large bags of millet flour, husked millet, and millet back to the yard.
Then, he immediately took action and found Su Sa, Zhuang Yunpeng, Zhang Jianbo, and two other Wang Weida and Lin Ya, who were also doctoral students at the Institute of Archaeology of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, and invited them to join the project.
There is no way, Chen Han, as a newcomer who has just joined the Institute of Archaeology of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, really can't command the professional archaeologists in the institute.
And since he is the one who takes the lead in this topic, he must not be able to find a few seniors who are higher than his background and status.
Otherwise, who is leading whom?
Chen Han can only find other young people who are familiar with him and other young people who are also studying for a doctorate at the Institute of Archaeology of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences.
But fortunately, making noodles doesn't require much esoteric academic level, what is needed is a flexible brain, and young people have more advantages.
Chen Han found a few people, and after a simple invitation, they immediately readily agreed.
This kind of project can cause a sensation in the domestic archaeological community, and let them be the person in charge to take the lead, the pressure is indeed too great, and everyone dare not dare.
But just participating as a researcher in the research group, there is no pressure.
Typical low-risk, high-reward things, who wouldn't be happy?
As a result, a total of six people "Replica Millet Noodles" research group was successfully established.
