Chapter 8 Finding a New Way
The Association for the Promotion of Science is a consortium of the world's largest science and engineering associations and the largest non-profit international science and technology organization, with more than 200 branches and tens of millions of members.
The annual meeting of the Association for the Advancement of Science is also the top gathering of the world's scientific community, and the famous "Science" is now hosted and published by the Association for the Advancement of Science.
Backed by this kind of behemoth, there are naturally all kinds of professional bigwigs in all aspects of the review, but because this kind of review itself also depends on their time, the review time is usually not short.
And in order to avoid wasting the time of the bigwigs with some bizarre manuscripts, they will go through several procedures before passing them on to these peer reviewers.
First, the preliminary review staff will check the formatting and repetition rate of the paper, and if there is no problem, there will be a journal editor's assistant to check whether the manuscript is complete, etc., and then the journal editor will pass it on to the peer reviewer after reading the paper and thinking it is appropriate, so as to reduce the arrival of inappropriate manuscripts as much as possible.
Even the preliminary examination staff who are in charge of the first process have a good breadth of knowledge after a long period of exposure, but for them, the daily work is a little mechanical and tedious.
Because many of the people who submitted the manuscript were sent by students from all walks of life to test the waters.
If it's just a student, it's actually okay.,At least it can generally be sent over in terms of formatting、Typesetting and other aspects are pretty basic.。
But there is also an existence called Minke, which makes their scalps a little fried.
There are often some appalling thriller titles that come up.
The more you know, the more you will be in awe of knowledge, but for the people who can use their forehand faster than the speed of light, their backhand perpetual motion machine, and from time to time prove a Goldbach conjecture, they also feel a sense of powerlessness for the staff in charge of the preliminary examination.
After the manuscript is rejected, they sometimes send an email to scold them.
In the editorial department, after brewing coffee and preparing to spend a happy day, Hough opened his work mailbox and started today's preliminary review work, he has been in this job for three years, he is very experienced.
In many manuscripts, you can know whether to reject or not by simply scanning the title.
"Oh God, Goldbach's conjecture has been proven again."
After scanning a scary headline, Hoff couldn't help but raise his hand to cover his head, but out of professionalism, he still glanced at the corresponding author.
Very good, I really haven't heard of it, it's from China.
Thinking of the machine-flipped paper on perpetual motion machines he saw last time, he couldn't help but blow up his scalp again.
"Who sent it?"
The colleagues next to me were not surprised by this, and the new colleagues occasionally used this kind of rhetoric, but now there are no new people here.
It's also a matter of professional instinct to ask this question, and if it's a big guy, it's really a bombshell.
"WANGYI, A CHINESE PERSON."
"Really? I haven't heard of a master named Yi. ”
Because it is an English-language journal, even if it is a submission from China, the signature will still be filled in according to Western standards, but Wang Yi has never considered this aspect at all before his complete pragmatism, and even if he knew it, he might not care about this.
So here it directly becomes Master Yi.
"Refused?"
"I refused, and the work unit did not fill in the details."
"Hey, I've been receiving more useless manuscripts from there lately."
"Normal, after all, they have such a large population, if it weren't for the language screening out most of them, I'm afraid there would be more submissions, and the recent increase is that there are more machine translations."
Hough sighed helplessly, the workload of this job position is getting bigger and bigger.
"But there are also capable people in the Chinese, and I remember that last year Tao completed the proof that all odd numbers can be expressed as the sum of up to five prime numbers without the help of the Riemann conjecture, which is a piece of the puzzle."
"Yes, but he's already won the Fields Medal last year."
"Fields~, it seems that Harold in France also published a paper on the weak Goldbach conjecture last month."
"After all, it's the problem of the century......"
While the two were talking, they also casually swept Wang Yi's contribution into the recycling bin......
……
On the other side, Wang Yi rubbed his forehead, and probably understood what the problem was.
Almost second rejection means that it is not in the hands of professionals at all, mathematics will not deceive people, and if you can't understand it, you can't understand it.
The first instance must have been rejected because of other issues, so it should be your own identity?
In fact, Wang Yi went to his alma mater at this time to ask for help, find a big guy to sign the corresponding author, or something, and he would definitely be able to go all the way to the professional review link.
But apparently he didn't have that idea.
The purpose of his original paper was to let the academic community know him, so that he could say hello first, so that he could post something strange in the future, and you would come to accompany me to study and discuss and collide with inspiration.
Now that the submission of Zheng'er Bajing has been rejected, he naturally finds another way.
Just to say hello, let's get to know each other in another way......
Then I directly found an agent to connect to a certain special.
Although a certain special is not as prosperous as it will be in the future, the number of monthly active users has officially exceeded 200 million, and the 'comment' function of a certain special in this parallel world, which would have been opened in two years, has also been opened in advance.
(A special can only add his own views when he forwards at the beginning.,The comment function was opened in 15 years.,But there will be similar adjustments for the needs of the plot.,The follow-up is not specifically explained.,Please don't stick to me.,After all, the parallel world~)
In fact, at this time, the number of active users of a certain book is five times that of a certain special, and the influence alone is even greater.
He also doesn't make any sensitive comments and isn't worried.
Well, he said that he didn't publish sensitive topics, but after completing the registration and getting the avatar of the Wuji Sword Saint, Wang Yi directly typed, 'Does this mean that Science magazine is involved in racial discrimination?' '.
Then he said the process freely, and attached a screenshot of the time rejected in seconds, and finally uploaded the proof process step by step.
The point emphasized is that their proof process is so long, they must have refused it without even looking at it.
If you talk about the difficulty and significance of a bunch of Goldbach's conjectures on a certain topic, and it's useless to talk about a bunch of math balabala, who will go online to read math?
So it's better to choose a politically correct topic, anyway, the proof process is attached to the back, and a big guy who can understand it will naturally help explain it.
Maybe some strange questions that you need help with at that time can be sent directly from a special place to brainstorm.
After doing all this, Wang Yi didn't care what it would ferment into, so he directly withdrew from the agency.
He's just trying to get his purpose to the end and doesn't waste time specifically dealing with those comments.
Instead, he backhanded and checked some relevant information that was useful to him.
"Silver is quite expensive."
After looking at the silver-related information, Wang Yi muttered.
Under the influence of the European debt crisis the year before last, the price of silver climbed to the highest point in 30 years, although now with the continuous surge in China's silver production began to decline and a certain amount of overcapacity.
And the demand for silver manufacturing has also begun to decline slightly, but at least the price is still high, an ounce costs more than 40 US dollars, almost 10 yuan a gram.
Silver is an excellent magic metal, and it can also be processed into Mithril, and with natural magic being so lazy, Wang Yi also needs to consider building a mage tower of high-quality materials for himself.
Building the perfect mage tower, then increasing its influence to make money, and gathering global resources and talents to pursue the truth of magic and technology is the new goal set by Wang Yi.
To build a mage tower, the more silver needs the better, ten yuan a gram sounds inexpensive, but this is a gram, the same as cutting cakes, it is really a big lump of price is still a headache.
How much does a normal bracelet weigh? The amount of industrial use is also not high, but what Wang Yi needs is to build a mage tower, and even if it can be made entirely of silver, it is no problem to turn it into Mithril.
Huaguo is now the largest producer of silver, but there are many places where it is consumed, and it is really a bit troublesome to hoard such a large amount of precious metals, and it is no longer a matter of money or not.
A short-term surge in demand will only lead to a price spike, and the currency itself has limitations.
After sweeping, Wang Yi also felt that when he had free time, he might have to go to Mexico......

Two more are completed~
The review was modified, it was late, sorry, it was revised and resent again......
If the ban is lifted again, then delete a chapter at that time......
