Chapter 176: Publish a Paper "Unless Lu Shan leaves Xia Country and takes his research results abroad to sue, I really don't think he can win this lawsuit. After all, we published the paper first!" The team members began to be tempted. Behind this was a huge honor and financial benefit. Isn't this what people live for? Now that they have such a good opportunity, why not give it a try? "If anything goes wrong, I'll take the responsibility myself! If there's profit, we'll share it with you!" "Don't hesitate any longer! Otherwise, Lu Shan's paper will be published both at home and abroad!" At this time, Shen Yanchun left the venue. He couldn't sit still and listen, but he didn't want to give up this opportunity, especially since Tan Ming said he would take responsibility for everything. With Tan Ming's promise and after Shen Yanchun left the venue, everyone gradually let go of their moral burdens, spoke frankly, and asked more substantive questions. Especially the issue of distributing specific benefits, for example, once a paper is published, who gets the credit, how to carry out subsequent experiments, whether there will be more project funds, etc. People are very active when it comes to interests. Some people were reluctant at first, but the more they talked, the more they felt involved. This made Tan Ming see the potential of the matter. The meeting became as noisy as a vegetable market. Some members kept silent, but they also did not intend to make the matter public. Once it was revealed, Tan Ming would certainly be punished, but he would also find it difficult to survive. No one wants an informer. The world is so strange that while those who do evil are punished, those who maintain order are devoured. In the end, these people passed this guilty decision. Anyway, Tan Ming would handle it, and even if he didn't get any benefits, he wouldn't lose anything. So why not give it a try? Tan Ming convinced everyone in the team and then reported to Shen Yanchun.
Shen Yanchun still found it difficult to make up his mind. He was too conflicted and felt the same as he had in the hotel in Yanjing. He wants honor and benefits, but at the same time he is afraid of being exposed. If I don’t win this honor, I’m afraid I’ll never have the chance to achieve this level of honor again in my lifetime. What a great honor it is to create new materials that can revolutionize the times! He himself had brought this honor upon himself, but he could not afford the consequences of being disgraced. How would he survive if he were despised by everyone and unable to gain a foothold? Seeing Shen Yanchun's dilemma, Tan Ming patted his chest and promised: "I will take care of it if there is any problem! I will deal with it if something goes wrong. Let's take a gamble! No one else has any objection!" Shen Yanchun remained silent. Tan Ming knew that Shen Yanchun had wavered, so he continued to add fuel to the fire. "Lu Shan can't really do anything! He can't control foreign journals. And he can't get entangled with you because he is just a student at the school. If he wants to make a fuss, it is equivalent to exposing this problem. At that time, the school will definitely work with him to prevent this kind of thing from being spread! Will Jiangzhou University seek glory or internal strife? Will it seek admiration from the global academic community or ridicule? One student alone cannot stir up any storm! " Shen Yanchun rubbed his fingers rapidly down there, almost rubbing the skin off his hands. Tan Ming gritted his teeth and said, "Dean Shen! We can't wait any longer. If we wait any longer, the opportunity will be lost! How about this! You don't know about this matter. As long as you don't object, I will take it as your consent. The paper doesn't have to be published in a very good journal. The faster the better!" Shen Yanchun still didn't say anything, so Tan Ming understood what Shen Yanchun meant and left with satisfaction. At this moment, Shen Yanchun felt like he had just run a marathon and his whole body was limp. Tan Ming walked out of Shen Yanchun's office, cursing Shen Yanchun in his heart, saying that this old man was both a hypocrite and a hypocrite. Even a memorial archway could resist floods! However, his lack of objection meant that he could use a lot of resources to write his thesis. The materials and chemistry team had already gathered together to work together to improve the paper. According to Lu Shan's paper description, this work was not that complicated, and everyone had gone through this process. And it did not involve specific preparation techniques, but only described the theoretical ideas. This is why Tan Ming said he was not afraid of Lu Shan going abroad. Unless Lu Shan completely abandons Xia Country, goes abroad, and reveals his background for comparison, no one can tell who started it first. But would the Xiaguo Academy of Sciences allow Lu Shan to do that? Obviously not! If Lu Shan takes his achievements abroad, he will be despised by the whole country even if he is the one who made them! This makes Lu Shan’s paper even more meaningless! So he had the upper hand over the national leadership, the senior officials of Jiangzhou University, Shen Yanchun from the School of Materials and Chemistry, members of the materials and chemistry team, and even more so Lu Shan. Just thinking about it makes me give myself a thumbs up for my cleverness. "Everyone, please work harder. Don't go back tonight. If Lu Shan publishes it in China, it will be recorded. Then we won't be able to explain it if we publish it in a foreign country!"
While focusing on improving his thesis, Tan Ming began to contact editors of foreign journals. Relying on his experience of studying abroad for one year, he quickly got in touch with his overseas mentor, and through his mentor, he got in touch with the editor of SMALL magazine. "SMALL" is not a top journal abroad, but a tool journal. As long as there are results, most of them can be published. The most important thing is that the review speed is fast. Therefore, many universities and research institutes will publish papers on it and also subscribe to it. The slowest is twenty days, but it can be done in three to five days if you use connections. When they heard that topological semimetal semiconductor materials had been developed, they were a little bit unbelievable. This is the most cutting-edge scientific research field in the world. When everyone is still busy studying theories, the Xia people have actually produced a substantive paper? Soon, the paper was sent to the editor's email, and he immediately started asking people to take a look. "Oh my God! It seems real!" "Well, this logic is perfect! This model is perfect! It can save at least one-third of the calculation time!" "This was made by the Xia people? Are they sure they didn't copy it?" "This is impossible. There has been no substantial progress in the world. How could the Xia people copy it?" What SMALL magazine didn't know was that this paper was really copied, it was just that the Xia people copied the Xia people. As soon as this article appeared, SMALL magazine put it in a key recommendation position without hesitation, and the magazine even asserted that this publication would be a big hit. In order to make this issue of the magazine have the widest impact, "SMALL" carried out a rare full-network publicity. “The material that leads to the future of technology has been discovered!” “A groundbreaking paper! An idea to control the world!” "The world's industrial structure is about to undergo a major change, and the starting point is surprisingly in the East!" SMALL also contacted a number of friendly journals to help cite the papers. With such momentum, people in the scientific community all paid attention to SMALL magazine. Due to the instrumental nature of the journal SMALL, some Xia Guo scientists who had participated in Lu Shan’s academic report also subscribed to Nature. When they saw this paper, they were shocked. I couldn't wait to read the paper and was stunned. What was going on? Wasn't this Lu Shan's paper? But why was it signed by the Materials Chemistry Team of Jiangzhou University? The main author was Tan Ming! What was even more unbelievable was the foreign academic community. The main point of their disbelief was that this technology was actually mastered by the Xia people. Westerners are arrogant, and this mentality is directly reflected in media reports. "Truth or hoax? Xia Country, which has long lagged behind in semiconductor technology, has actually developed the most advanced new semiconductor material!" “Why do super high-quality original papers suddenly appear in a place where academic fraud is rampant?” "Are you obsessed with publishing and trying to get a job title? Or do you really have the real skills?" Foreign media reports were overwhelming, and most of them questioned the source of the article. If no one had come out to claim that it was theirs, these foreign media would have directly said that Xia Guoren had plagiarized. This paper set off a lot of . universities, and they immediately held a meeting to discuss whether this paper is feasible or not! Can the idea be used to advance existing research? This group of colleagues quickly analyzed the paper and were immediately shocked by the mathematical model. "What a perfect mathematical model, it matches the computer logic so well. It shows that the Xia people are ahead of us in combining mathematics and computers!" "This model is like a work of art! Was it really thought up by the Xia people? Why don't we see any mathematicians in this team? Does Xia have so many talented people?" As the analysis progressed, they were soon convinced by the idea of the experiment.
The idea behind each experimental design is extremely ingenious, concise and efficient. Often, a large amount of experimental data can be obtained through combined analysis of several experiments, and a direct experiment will not be designed specifically for a certain data. The most ingenious thing is that every experiment is highly consistent with the model with very little deviation, which means that the performance can be controlled and we can enter the stage of mass production design. Generally speaking, it takes quite a while for a product to go from successful laboratory development to mass production. There are too many variables under large-scale production conditions, and the more you produce, the greater the deviation. But this paper can already be used to directly guide production. "This is amazing! There's no way this can be fake!" “We tried it based on some of the model’s definitions, and it actually helped advance our research and development!” "Did the Xia people really come up with this?" Now no Westerner doubts the authenticity of the paper. The ideas and logic are correct. Except for the specific operating parameters, everything else has been confirmed. Then the wind direction changed again and became praise. "Jiangzhou University's materials chemistry team has made amazing progress! Dr. Tan Ming has a bright future!" “This is groundbreaking! New semiconductor materials were born from a little-known university team!” "Bad research environment! Excellent team!" These praises were not only published on the foreign language websites of major portals around the world, but were also seen by the Chinese people through the Chinese version of the website. Few ordinary Xia people knew about this. Originally, the Xia Academy of Sciences planned to publicize and commend the paper after it was published. However, when the paper was still being revised and had not yet been included in the next issue of the journal, Tan Ming and his team did this in a foreign journal. Ordinary Xia people don’t care about these things at all. They only know that Xia has developed new semiconductor materials, which may enhance the strength of the entire country and put the industry into a high-profit model, so they all praise Tan Ming’s team. Many Xiaguo media followed the content of foreign media and wrote reports. Countless praises flooded to the Jiangzhou Materials Chemical Team, and the names of Tan Ming and his team became the talk of the town. (End of this chapter)
