Harvard Ph.D. dormitory.

Zhou Xiangnan rubbed his somewhat messy hair, found the preprint of the paper on GTRGD materials in arxiv, and after a quick look, he clicked into the somewhat lively message area.

Frankly speaking, as far as the text is concerned, as he wrote under the question of the number one hot list in Zhihu, his feeling is still ......

I couldn't understand it, and I was shocked.

What he couldn't understand was not the experimental report in the front, but the principle exposition in the back.

The long paragraph that follows is speculative, without the rigor that a nature journal should have, and it can be said that it is completely speculative - but it was actually published, and it was published at the same time as another paper in the field of medicine, back-to-back!

However...... When he flipped through the messages on the preprint and found that the earliest one to reappear was Professor Ezio, Zhou Xiangnan was suddenly stunned, and a strange expression rose on his face.

"Damn, sloppy."

Materials science is an experimental science that can be demonstrated.

The reason why Professor Ezio is known as a face-slapping expert on arxiv is that he has the most valuable gift of an experimental physicist – he always meets the most precise conditions and repeats experiments with a high degree of reproducibility.

And he is also very serious, if you dare to say what brand is the reason for the material, reagent and other problems and do not meet the results, he can really find the exact same experimental materials. If you still have an excuse, he can even take a plane to your lab and watch you do the experiments himself, so that you can repeat the things yourself.

If you can't do it, it's not the problem of the paper, but the problem of the representer himself.

Thinking of what Professor Ezio had told him before he hung up the phone, he suddenly regretted that he hadn't come to see it earlier.

The expression on his face kept changing, and Zhou nodded south into Zhihu.

His answer is still at the top of the list, and it is still at the top.

As a serious big V doctor with 150,000 followers, this data is very consistent with his identity.

In hesitation, he clicked on the comment.

Then he saw a new message - "Excuse me, in the process of repeating the test, is the number of electrodes or the array method strictly in accordance with the requirements, and is there any self-initiative to modify the frequency?" ”

He was slightly shocked in his heart!

It immediately occurred to him that when he reproduced it, he really didn't pay so much attention to the electrode, and in addition, whether it was the solution or the data, he could ensure accuracy.

After all, he subconsciously thought that this was an electrocatalytic experiment.

After thinking about it, he clicked into the account of this message, and saw that it was a small transparent account, and the latest news was to answer the ACM teammate who claimed to be the gifted undergraduate student under the same question......

After a few seconds of silence, he furrowed his brow and selected the editor's answer.

"Just now, I talked to a peer reviewer in Nature on the phone for verification, sorry, I couldn't reproduce the successful conclusion a little hastyly, I'll do another experiment."

"Then let the bullets fly a little longer."

……

On the second floor of the small cafeteria, Qi and Mo stared at the revised answer from Gao Zan Doireann, and her eyebrows finally rose into a smile.

"This looks much more pleasing to the eye than the yin and yang weirdness just now." Qi and Mo sighed: "It seems that this big V respondent is also an elder, and he can directly contact peer reviewers." ”

Ye Ming blinked: "Well, Dr. Harvard, maybe the mentor is a peer reviewer." ”

"Makes sense!" Lacquer and ink gave a thumbs up to A.

Ye Ming smiled.

Although he doesn't know it, this kind of trick of pretending to be coercive ...... It's still very familiar.

After laughing, he quickly sent an email back to Professor Ezio, tactfully asking if he had any plans to come to China.

Subsequently, he received another call from Professor Pan.

On the phone, although he felt that Old Tang was making a little fuss...... But according to Lao Tang's instructions, he said that he couldn't leave for the past two days, but he promised to be on call online.

So Professor Pan asked him to find a place in half an hour and take him to have a video group meeting.

At this point, Professor Ezio replied with an email, saying that he had an idea, but he couldn't stand it if he had to isolate. And also told Ye Ming that he was messing with that damn WeChat...... Let Ye Ming tell him the WeChat account.

This made Ye Ming very happy.

"You're so busy...... Qi and Mo kept watching Ye Ming answer the phone and reply to the email, and couldn't help but say quietly: "The professor is not as busy as you." ”

"And it's not the right thing to do." Ye Ming thought so, he grabbed his mobile phone and glanced at it, and then looked at the small canteen where there were gradually more people: "It's not realistic to even have a video here, I have to go back to the laboratory." ”

"Well, go ahead. I'll brush Zhihu again and help you scare people! ”

"Haha, then tell me the results tomorrow!"

……

That night, Ye Ming and a group of people in Professor Pan's laboratory discussed it by video until 10 o'clock, but they still didn't come up with a reason - this is also normal, Professor Pan's team is a top team in both theory and practice, and they haven't done it well for several days, and it is purely a chance to catch Ye Ming.

There was no reason why Ye Ming would solve the problem as soon as he joined the discussion, even if he was the designer of the device.

But the good thing is that Professor Pan never suspected that Ye Ming's design was wrong all the time—even when his colleague tentatively asked Ye Ming if the data was wrong.

When I returned to the dormitory, it was nearly eleven o'clock.

All the roommates didn't sleep or play with the computer, and they all curled up in the quilt with their mobile phones, including Peng Xiaofei, the hard-working captain.

Seeing Ye Ming enter the door, Peng Xiaofei raised his mobile phone at him: "Watch Zhihu live broadcast." ”

"What? Have a beautiful woman pay benefits? ”

Ye Ming said with a smile while taking off his shoes, he knew that these old brothers in the dormitory, in some time periods, when hormone secretion was the strongest, they were looking for things that were not suitable for children.

But as soon as he finished speaking, he knew it wasn't.

Because Peng Xiaofei ripped off the headphones.

A somewhat tired man's voice came from inside the phone, hmm...... Sounds a bit empty.

"There are still ten minutes left, and we can carry out the last step of the experiment, I am too tired today, so I should take a rest."

"Forget it, take this opportunity, let me answer a few questions from everyone, and I'll take a look at ......"

"Someone asked what the experimental principle was...... Well, I don't know what the principle is, otherwise how could it be said to be a subversive, groundbreaking experiment? ”

"Will it succeed? I don't know, everything is unknown. ”

Ye Ming was completely confused: "What are you looking at?" ”

It was Zhou Xiaochun who spoke, he also held his mobile phone and said to Ye Ming.

"We're all watching Zhihu scientists' online experiments, slapping you in the face."
