Chapter 15 are all scumbags

"Basically, that's all there is to it, you go back and change it, and you can submit it."

In Lin Yao's office, after reading Li Mu's translated paper, Lin Yao pointed out some problems to him again, but in fact, there were basically not many problems.

He didn't expect that this student could even do such a good job of translation, and even he, a professor who has published a lot of foreign language journals, was a little embarrassed by the application of English.

"Thank you, Professor Lin."

Li Mu said gratefully.

"There's nothing to thank, you're a student, if you have any questions, look for a teacher." Lin Yao smiled, "And maybe, in a few years, your problem will not be something we can help with." ”

Wu Mengyuan also agreed.

For such a talented student, perhaps it is impossible to think too much about his future.

"Okay, I won't say much about this thing, the journal will vote for the one I told you at the beginning, rational mechanics and analysis files, and there are basically not many other problems."

"As for whether you can pass this question, you don't have to worry, with the quality of your paper, it is still very easy to pass the manuscript, I have also submitted to that journal before, but the review speed may be a problem, of course, this kind of thing is not in a hurry, after all, you are also the first time to publish a paper, and when you publish more papers in the future, after we have a status in the academic community, the review speed will become faster, and there is ......"

Listening to Professor Lin's tireless narration, Li Mu nodded his head and felt even more grateful.

Although he is very powerful now, he doesn't know much about these things in the industry, and he needs predecessors like Professor Lin Yao to pass on his experience.

In this way, under Lin Yao's explanation, Li Mu also had a certain understanding of the process of publishing papers.

"If I go through the OA model, I'll have to pay thousands of dollars?"

When he heard Lin Yao talk about the paper publishing model, and heard that this OA model still needs to spend thousands of dollars on his own, Li Mu was immediately surprised, good guy, he publishes papers, not only does he have no money, but he even has to pay upside down?

The cost of thousands of dollars is not so much money to sell him!

"That's what the OA model is." Lin Yao smiled: "After all, this is an open download for the whole world, which is very helpful for the dissemination and citation of your paper." ”

The OA model is the open access model, and the main one is completely free, and anyone can see their papers for free.

And because of this model, journals can't make money from subscriptions, so they often charge very high fees to authors.

"But if you don't want to choose this model, just choose the traditional subscription model at that time, and if you send a subscription model, the journal may still be able to give you a hundred dollars in manuscript fees."

"A hundred dollars?"

Hearing the news, Li Mu was suddenly like a heavenly sound.

One hundred dollars, but that's more than six hundred dollars.

His monthly living expenses are only 1,500.

However, seeing his happy appearance, Lin Yao and Wu Mengyuan both smiled.

This is still a money junkie.

But this is not difficult to understand, after all, Li Mu is still a student.

"Okay, okay, don't be happy about that $100, the invisible value you brought to you after this paper was sent out is not something that can be measured by this $100."

Li Mu smiled, everyone understands this simple truth, but the manuscript fee is really money in hand!

"Okay, that's all for this matter first, and then I'll talk to you about our topic first, and when you go back, you can also make good preparations for this topic research."

Li Mu nodded, and then listened quietly.

First of all, there is a huge good news, their project is funded by the National Natural Science Foundation of China, and the funding is a small 500,000 yuan, and they are studying basic theoretical disciplines, which almost does not cost much, so Professor Lin Yao first gave Li Mu a salary of 3,000 a month.

Of course, this is a huge piece of good news for Li Mu, not only to be able to study, but also to make money, isn't this the student life he once dreamed of?

And after being happy for a while, Lin Yao officially told him about their subject.

"We're studying the convection-reaction-diffusion system, I don't know if you've heard of this, all in all, this is a big research hotspot in applied mathematics, it can be used not only to study physics, but also to study chemistry, such as gas-solid reactions, or tumor cell growth trends in biology, or even population propagation problems."

"All in all, it's an interesting direction."

"The purpose of our project is to solve the problem of bilinear optimal control of the system."

"The main thing we want to control is the velocity field in the convection term."

"Of course, this problem is difficult, mainly because the state variable is nonlinear and dependent on the control variable......"

With Lin Yao's narration, Li Mu gradually listened.

Undoubtedly, this research is a new direction for him.

However, that didn't stop him from being interested.

With the help of the computer in his mind, he is now naturally interested in these difficult questions.

In this way, while listening to the professor's explanation, he can even ask some key questions occasionally, which also makes the two professors look up to him even more.

In the office, Lin Yao's graduate students all looked at each other silently.

They don't understand what the two professors said, so why can't they understand some of the things that this freshman spits out from time to time?

What does the nested CG method mean?

What do you mean by the finite-difference and finite element methods for time discretization?

But when they turned their heads and thought about what had just happened, they felt that this matter did not seem to be the most outrageous.

The most outrageous thing has to be that this Li Mu just now, he actually solved the problem that the two professors had discussed for so long just after a while.

This made them even think in their hearts, Li Mu wouldn't be in a hurry to ask the professor to help him read his paper, and then make a move, right?

Eventually, the graduate students withdrew their gaze.

Then he sighed.

These graduate students of Shanghai Jiaotong University are all scumbags in front of their freshman year.

……

Li Mu stayed in Lin Yao's office for a long time this day, and when he left the office, it was time for dinner.

But obviously, this day was also a day full of harvest for him, the thesis was basically no problem, and at the same time, he participated in the project of two professors and solved a task.

And the rest of the time is to continue learning!

Look at the time, there's still one night left today.

So, with a happy smile, Li Mu once again visited the library.
