Chapter 85 Xianmeng's online paper library and journals
Although the project has not officially started yet, there is not much time for Tatsukaze. According to him, he still has to train a few apprentices who are familiar with the real yĆ n room, and he is also quite busy - entering the Yuan Ling Environmental Empirical Department will test his ability to control mana. If you don't grasp the mana in your body and let the mana escape all the time, the environment inside the Empirical Department may be polluted. This alone will take down a lot of people.
After seeing a few Tianling disciples coming here, Chen Feng let Wang Qi take care of himself, and then entered the Empirical Department with a few newborn real dogs. Wang Qi, who had nothing to do, had no choice but to take the "Introduction to Refining" textbook that had been marked by Chen Feng and Chen Feng's own refining notes to the Wanfa Gate station.
Walking on the road, Wang Qi couldn't help but start flipping through Chenfeng's notes. In his view, everyone belongs to the noble theoretical scholars, and it is really a stupid thing to devote their precious time to technical work -- the reason why the Nima human beings are united and powerful is because they have learned to divide labor and cooperate, and what is the difference between a person who is inefficient in taking on a job and a powerful monkey? Handing over low-level technical work to ordinary people and using theory to promote the progress of all mankind is the attitude that a bull scientist should have.
And after opening Chenfeng's notebook, Wang Qi realized that his thoughts were really correct, look, Chenfeng's insightful Five Absolute True Biography also thinks so!
Let's take a look at other people's alchemy. Ignore the principle or anything, just write down a little bit of the technique and common formulas, and then the materials only need to know how many you need?What?Commonly used materials?Is it possible for me to use this refiner?No?Then why do I need to know?Commonly used magic weaponsClassical structure?Understand what those things do?I just need to know how to refine the simulation method.
With such an attitude, Chen Feng insisted on using the eyebrow criticism and the small half of the notebook in the refining textbook to complete the study of alchemy!
Wang Qi not only exclaimed: "This is really the alchemy that is close to life and everyone needs to master - it's so simple." ā
Zhen Yanzi sighed: "The world is going down, and people's hearts are not ancient...... The old man was ...... at that time At least you have to learn how to maintain and repair the magic weapon......"
Wang Qi then ignored Mako's exclamation. The treasure can be produced in large industries, and the magic weapon can naturally be operated on the assembly line, and the cost can be pressed to the point that the ancient law era is unimaginable. Disciples like Chen Feng in the foundation building period can afford to use treasure-level calculators.
When Wang Qi walked to the Wanfa Gate, he happened to see a disciple of the outer gate of the Wanfa Gate holding a few books at the door in a daze. Wang Qi remembered that this was named Liang Jin, so he went up to the eldest brother and greeted: "Hey, what are you doing standing here?"
Unexpectedly, after Liang Jin saw Wang Qi, he seemed to be greatly frightened, and hurriedly took two steps back and bowed deeply: "Wang ...... Senior Brother Wang!" Unexpectedly, his movements were so big that he knocked all the books in his hand to the ground.
Wang Qi asked strangely, "What's wrong with you, why are you so polite all of a sudden?"
Liang Jin took two steps back and stumbled: "That...... That one...... How dare you do this in front of your senior brother, and be presumptuous...... Take you, I'm rude again......" he said and hurriedly began to pick up the books.
Wang Qi squatted down and picked up a book and looked at it, the name of the book was "Selected Laws of Ten Thousand Laws", the world's academic journal.
It's just that this "journal" is completely different from the kind of journal that Wang Qi read in his previous life, first of all, this thing does not publish the main part of the paper, but specifically publishes the abstract, keywords, and part of the conclusion of the paper, and occasionally attaches the evaluation of the paper of the predecessor overhaul team - if you want to see the paper itself, you have to go to the paper library of the Xianmeng League. Second, since only abstracts are published, a journal can often contain many papers. In the end, the journal does not accept submissions at all, and it is up to the journal's editors to choose. And a paper can't just be included in one journal.
From Wang Qi's point of view, this is a quick but inefficient system.
Scholars who already have prestige and connections can quickly spread their papers, first with the small journal Yang Ming, and then by the high-ranking monks, they are selected into the large-scale journals, and if they are new disciples who are followed by the high-level monks, I am afraid that they can become famous in one day. New theories that are not very compatible with mainstream theories, or newcomers to the scientific community, are even more miserable, and their theories often take a long time to be noticed.
This is somewhat detrimental to academic progress.
And the journal itself does not bring direct benefits to the authors of the paper, and it is difficult to even call it "seniority". Shenzhou's journals are essentially more like "advertisements" for papers, and the real income of the authors of the papers comes from the exchange and citations of other monks in the Xianmeng Essay Library.
If you look at the history of China, this strange system actually has historical origins. The core feature of the earth's academic journals is "peer review". This system appeared in Europe in the seventeenth century. Its formation was actually the influence of two factors - first, Europe was small enough to deliver letters and periodicals. Secondly, the means of communication are not developed, but the postal service is already developed enough.
Unfortunately, Shenzhou is a very large continent, unless it is a peak overhaul, even a high-level monk will have to walk for half a month to reach it with a flying sword - and it is very unrealistic to rely on a high-level monk to send a letter. In addition, the means of long-distance communication actually existed tens of thousands of years ago in the ancient era, and although the delay is very strict and the information that can be transmitted is limited, it is enough to just discuss the theory. Moreover, during this period, everyone engaged in theories for their own practice, so they did not care so much about the dissemination of papers.
And because the physical laws here are very different from those of the earth, the fantasy land of all immortals was popularized earlier than the telephone and telegraph systems, so a paid paper library appeared earlier than the journal, which can be regarded as running into the era of online paper databases.
In addition, it is worth mentioning that since the download and citation of papers are directly linked to the income of the monks, whether it is out of consideration for intellectual property protection or the monks' awareness of copyright, a similar free preprint system did not appear - or perhaps appeared, but was killed by Feng Luoyi and a group of network administrators.
Extremely inconvenient system.
However, if you look at this system with skepticism from the beginning......
"It's still the old man who said it well, this was not saved for convenience at the beginning. The Xianmeng adopted this strange system in order to ensure that the theory would not be lost to the greatest extent. ā
From the very beginning, the Ten Thousand Immortals Fantasy Realm was set up as a system that could only be entered by the current Fa cultivator. This is a means of screening the soul, and only after the cultivation of the health master, the soul has undergone transformation after breaking through the heavens, can the information of the Ten Thousand Immortals Illusion be rested. And if you want to exchange a lot of the theory of the present law, you must have a lot of merit. In the merit reward system of the Immortal League, it is the front-line researchers who benefit the most, and it is impossible for this kind of person to betray the Immortal Alliance.
This is a very effective means of defense.
