I really just want to be a scholar

Chapter 553 You Have Made Breakthrough New Progress?
The school allocates funds to establish its own materials science laboratory, which is the right of full professors who have graduate tutors to apply for approval.

He Liangfu's words basically mean that Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun's material science level is comparable to that of full professors, and they can independently lead a team to do related projects.

Qin Ke smiled and thanked: "Thank you Professor He for your kindness, but we only have the title of an associate researcher, so it's better not to break the rules of the school."

It is of course a good thing that the school pays for the construction of a research laboratory, but the school has limited funds, and often only builds small laboratories, and then applies for project funds year by year, and continuously adds equipment. A relatively complete materials laboratory like Professor He also spent a lot of money. After more than ten years of accumulation, it is because of the continuous undertaking of national-level key topics that we have more funds and purchased more experimental equipment.

Even if Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun are valued by the school again, it is impossible for the school to have enough funds for them to have a laboratory of Professor He's scale within two or three years.Moreover, if there is a laboratory, it is necessary to continue to undertake the topics designated by the school, and the degree of freedom in scientific research will be severely reduced. There are also tasks for papers and team leadership, and scientific research results must be shared with the school.

Qin Ke would not do such a foolish thing for a laboratory of tens of millions, wasting ten years and still having so many restrictions, so although he was very grateful for the kindness of Professor He and Professor Hu, he politely declined.

Professor Hu Qingfeng also appeared in front of the camera. He rubbed the lines of his face that were a little stiff due to long-term tension, and said: "Qin Ke, Ning Qingyun, this topic can basically be concluded today, and the conclusion report Are you going to write related papers? The final data and charts will be sent to your mailbox later.”

Ning Qingyun is the best at writing papers, and the final report and thesis are all that are missing for this project. In order to complete a project, Ning Qingyun also needs to take over the job, so she readily responded: "No problem. , Qin Ke and I will take care of the writing work."

Old Hu's slightly chubby face was full of smiles and said: "That would be the best, Lao He and I are bothered by these writing tasks. By the way, the core part of this project was proposed and solved by you. Names of the two, Lao He and I are the corresponding authors, the rest of the team members are the second authors, and... Well, the communication unit is the Department of Physics and the School of Materials Science and Technology of Kiyoki University, and the experimental institution is the name of Lao He’s laboratory."

Ning Qingyun wrote down one by one, and Qin Ke interjected: "Professor Hu, Professor He, you have given us a lot of guidance on this topic, so you should give it a try..."

He Liangfu next to him waved his hand and said: "Lao Hu and I are not short of one work, and it is true that you have played the main role. Lao Hu and I are playing a guiding role. We are practical, and the guidance can only be the corresponding author."

Before Qin Ke could say anything more, Lao Hu said again: "In addition, after the completion of this project, you should be able to apply for two patents. According to the old rules, the two of you will account for 15% of the patent income, and the school will account for 5%. It is Lao He's laboratory, Lao He occupies 20%, I occupy [-]%, and the remaining [-]% ​​is distributed by team members according to their contributions. You also form a profit distribution table, attach it to the final report, and I will send it to the school for approval. Done These, basically, you two have followed a subject completely, and Lao He and I have nothing to teach you."

Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun glanced at each other, and bowed deeply to the two professors on the other end of the phone: "Thank you Professor Hu and Professor He for your careful guidance!"

Both of them and Lao He and Lao Hu are not in the relationship between a tutor and a student. Even if it is a relationship between a tutor and a student, there are few professors who are so careful and patient in teaching and explaining the process, precautions, and key points of the entire subject in detail. They also reminded them of all kinds of problems encountered and possibly encountered in the process.

This is really a very rare subject study.

It can be said that thanks to the guidance of Lao He and Lao Hu, Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun can be confident when they open their own laboratories and undertake national key courses they are interested in in the future.

How could Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun not be grateful?

He Liangfu smiled and said, "Don't be polite to us. If it wasn't for the two of you who helped each other out of righteousness, I guess I would have been devastated by now, and even lost my qualification as a master's tutor. Okay, let's not mention this, you two have a chat with everyone , Let’s celebrate the joy of success that we have spent more than four months of sweat in exchange for!”

Soon the camera switched, and more than [-] graduate students and doctoral students who participated in the project gathered around, their faces full of joy.

Seeing everyone's tired but excited and joyful expressions, Qin Ke waved his hand generously: "Qingyun and I will be back in five days. I estimated just now that our project this time has been improved by about a month compared with the plan, and the funds are saved Much better, next Sunday we will hold a celebration banquet at the Century Hotel, and everyone will not get drunk and return home!"

The Century Hotel is a well-known high-end hotel near the school. Students rarely spend a lot of money. When they heard that the celebration banquet was held there, everyone in the laboratory applauded loudly. Applause and cheers resounded all around.

……

Ning Qingjun almost took care of the follow-up work of the material science project "Using the Karman vortex street effect to study the method of high-throughput preparation of ultrafine fibers", and Qin Ke didn't need to worry about it. In Ning Qingyun's words Well, Qin Xiaoke, just concentrate on preparing the academic reports for the Crawford Award and the Humboldt Research Award. There are only a few days left before the time limit for submitting the report outline and PPT.

However, Qin Ke still helps to figure out where to submit this paper, because different journals have different submission requirements and format requirements. After setting the target journal, you can write a targeted paper style and improve the acceptance rate.This is naturally the past experience of the two.

Qin Ke discussed with the two professors for a long time. Although this paper has many innovative highlights, it is still a bit difficult to submit to top international journals such as "Science", "Nature" and "Advanced Materials", and the acceptance rate is relatively low.

However, I feel a little unwilling to invest in the core journals in China, because this achievement has surpassed the achievements of any domestic materials laboratory and has reached the international first-class level.

He Liangfu suggested: "Why don't you two try to submit to "ACS Applied Materials and Interfaces", which was founded by the American Chemical Society and is also a journal in the first district. Although it has only been established for more than ten years, its impact factor has reached about 8.7. I think there is about [-]% chance of the manuscript being accepted. If it is really not possible, then submit to the core journals in China.”

Hu Qingfeng suddenly said: "I suggest submitting to "Nature Materials", which is a sub-journal of "Nature", with an impact factor of 38. This time our experimental model is very original, and it may be accepted."

He Liangfu hesitated and said, ""Nature Materials"? I estimate that the approval rate is only about [-]%, and this "Nature Materials" has high requirements for writing and foreign language proficiency. In the past, scholars from the Xia Kingdom could even publish papers on it. , often after several revisions.”

The reason why the two professors are so cautious about where to submit their manuscripts is mainly because of the review time. The biggest problem with these top journals and journals with ridiculously high impact factors is that the review time is between three months and half a year. , many times I have to go back to revise the comments, several rounds and delays for the first half of the year, and the final revision may not be published, so basically I will not think of "this one can't pass the draft and submit another one", but choose to pass the draft Journals with a high rate and a relatively high impact factor can avoid wasting time, and avoid someone publishing papers with similar results because the submission time is too long.

Hu Qingfeng and He Liangfu have also submitted to these top foreign journals and first-region journals before, so they are naturally well aware of the difficulties.

The mathematics papers and physics papers published by Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun before were all drafted at one time, and it is relatively rare for them not to return the review comments.

Qin Ke thought for a while and said, "Then vote for "nature materials"."

When his special branch technology "Material Technology" was opened, the system gave away a hundred theoretical knowledge related to material technology in LV1, and there were many classic papers in "nature materials". What's more, Ning Qingyun is best at writing papers according to the requirements and writing styles of different journals. When the two of them work together, it will not be a problem to produce a paper that meets the reviewers' preferences for "Nature Materials".

Moreover, Qin Ke wanted to improve the reputation of himself and Ning Qingyun in materials science, and it would undoubtedly be of great benefit to have a paper published in the top journal "Nature Materials".

Seeing that Qin Ke had made a decision, Lao Hu and Lao He didn't say any more. They just told them to read the submission requirements in "nature materials", especially the writing and format, and ask them for help if they have difficulties.

Qin Ke and the two agreed one by one, and the matter was settled like this.

Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun have been living in the nursing home for more than a week, accompanying the two elderly people while doing research.

On February 2th, Valentine's Day and Ning Qingyun's 14 years old birthday was also spent in the nursing home.

Although Qin Ke had made many celebration arrangements in advance, it was a pity to cancel them, but seeing the happy smile on Ning Qingyun's little face when she celebrated her birthday with her grandparents, she felt that the happiness of Xiaobaicai was the most important.

So Qin Ke just asked his assistant Fang Yongtang to bring a big birthday cake, and then cooked himself, cooking a sumptuous meal for Ning Qingyun and the two old people.This year, Qin Ke gave Ning Qingyun a beautiful platinum bracelet as a birthday present, with exquisite workmanship, which matched Ning Qingyun's snow-white wrist very well.

After celebrating her 20 years old birthday and writing and submitting her thesis for "nature materials", Ning Qingyun reluctantly bid farewell to her grandparents, returned to Yuanzhou with Qin Ke, and returned to Qing Went to Ping town, had a meal with Qin Ke's family, and then flew back to the capital together.

In the twinkling of an eye, it came to February 2, and the campus of Kiyoki University was faintly green. It seemed that the harsh winter had never come, and the earth had regained its vitality.

With the return of students and the start of the new semester, the campus has regained its excitement.

The second semester of the sophomore year has just started, and many students have not yet entered the state of study, but Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun have quietly left school and boarded a flight to Sweden.

They were still accompanied by their old partners on this trip, Sun Liwen, an associate professor in the Department of Mathematics who was in charge of taking pictures, and Chen Ming, Chen Lan, Zheng Haiqiao, and Wei Feng who were nominally in charge of logistics arrangements.In addition to these familiar faces, there are also some unfamiliar passengers who "just happened to travel together".

Such a lineup is of course very gorgeous, but Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun are used to it, and except for Chen Lan and Chen Ming who follow them at any time, the rest of them follow behind them secretly, which will not make Qin Ke The two are too conspicuous.

After nearly a day of long-distance flights and transfers, the plane finally arrived at Stockholm International Airport. It was already noon, and Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun sat in the waiting car and headed to the city.

Stockholm is a harbor city with beautiful scenery. It is distributed on [-] islands and a peninsula. More than [-] bridges connect these islands together, forming a unique scenery, so Stockholm is also called "Venice of the North".

At this time, Stockholm was also in winter, with an average temperature of only about minus 3 degrees Celsius, but because of the coast, it felt more dry and cold than the capital.

Stockholm is a famous historical city and the capital of art. Because it is free from the disaster of war, its buildings are well preserved, and there are museums and art galleries everywhere. The financial industry, especially the banking industry, is particularly prosperous.

Qin Ke has prepared a travel guide in advance, and Chen Ming has also seen the itinerary. He plans to take Ning Qingyun, a literary girl, to visit this holy place of art.

After enjoying the different customs of foreign countries in the car all the way, Qin and Ke crossed several bridges and came to the center of the city.Neither of them lived in the hotel arranged by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. In order to avoid missing the time of the academic report, the two decided to report to the Stockholm Concert Hall first and receive the schedule of the academic report.

The Concert Hall is one of Stockholm's scenic spots and landmark buildings, and it is also the awards ceremony for previous Nobel Prizes and Crafford Prizes. Tomorrow night, Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun will receive the Crafford Prize medals and awards from the King of Sweden here. Certificates and bonuses.

Because they had contacted beforehand, when Qin and Ke came to the entrance of the concert hall, their old friends, the editor-in-chief of "Journal of Mathematics", Rovshan Oliver, and the editor-in-charge, Theo, were waiting in advance. Besides the two, there were several old friends A scholar in a suit who looks like a professor.

Seeing Qin and Ke, the old Mr. Oliver came up to him and opened his arms warmly: "Welcome to Stockholm, my dear friend."

Qin Ke hugged him with open arms, and then thanked him with a smile: "I have to thank Mr. Oliver, otherwise we wouldn't have the chance to set foot here."

Old Mr. Oliver suppressed his smile and said solemnly: "I can come here to accept the award because of your achievements in mathematics, not anyone else."

"Since the old gentleman agrees with us in this way, we can only nod shamelessly."

The two laughed at the same time.

Old Mr. Oliver signaled Theo to go get the passports for the two of them to go through the check-in procedures, and he introduced several old people to Qin and Ke.

These old men are actually academicians of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences.

So many academicians came to greet him in person, which made Qin Ke feel a little stressed.

But before he could say hello, an old man wearing glasses spoke first: "Mr. Qin Ke, I heard that the topic of your academic report this time is "The Fourth Group of Expressions of Riemann's Conjecture"?"

Qin Ke somewhat understood the reason for the exaggerated welcome lineup, nodded and said: "Yes, I have reported the topic and PPT of the report a week ago."

Of course, what Qin Ke sent was only a PPT with the title and outline of the report, and the specific content of the report will not be released until the day of the report meeting.

Another old man said in disbelief: "My God, it's been less than half a year since you published the first three expressions of Riemann's conjecture last time, and you have made breakthrough new progress?"
