Chapter 56: Undergraduates are not as good as dogs, graduate students are walking around
Zhang Yuan had been intern on the spaceship for a year in advance and was quite familiar with the structure of the entire living area.
When he woke up, he was so hungry that he walked out of the room door and prepared to go to the restaurant to have something to eat.
The air is very fresh, and the pools around the corridor are covered with pilosula grass. Under the action of light, it can convert the carbon dioxide exhaled by humans into oxygen.
This seaweed plant grows very fast and can grow sweet fruits like grapes in about 28 days. If you want to eat them, you can also pick them at will. Everything on the roadside is free.
The color of the electric light on the ceiling is similar to that of the sun. At night, these artificial light sources will become dimmer and softer. In this way, people can easily distinguish between day and night.
Several men and women passed by Zhang Yuan and were talking excitedly.
"Carbon and oxygen circulation is a very profound science. If the ratio of carbon dioxide to oxygen is out of control, people are prone to poisoning..."
"Microbial community control is the most important part of spacecraft environmental science, and it actually involves..."
Along the way, Zhang Yuan heard many whispering sounds, and there were many problems he could not understand at all.
The academic atmosphere here is extremely strong, with people discussing scientific issues, spacecraft, Fermi Paradox and aliens.
The astronaut exam is much more difficult than the college entrance examination. The spacecraft integrates the best in all walks of life. Everyone has a very high self-study awareness.
A desire to learn comes naturally.
Everyone is working hard!
Speed up and prepare to go back to study after dinner.
rest?
Not needed!
At this moment, Zhang Yuan saw a girl in a sailor suit looking around, looking lost.
She is about 1.6 meters tall and looks very cute.
"Do you need any help?"
Zhang Yuan thought that the other party might have to go for a meal. He is more familiar with this spacecraft, so it is okay to do a little help.
"How do you go to the Life Science Conference Hall here?" The girl's accent was a bit strange. According to Zhang Yuan's guess, she might be a foreigner.
Astronauts of Earth Age are recruited from the world, and it is normal to meet foreigners.
“Life Science Conference Hall?”
Zhang Yuan was slightly stunned. He didn't know where the meeting was held.
"It's that...the academic conference chaired by Professor Medel." The girl said a little embarrassedly.
"Do you have specific coordinate positions?"
“E-14 Zone.”
"Oh, you're going in the wrong direction, you should go to that side." Zhang Yuan smiled faintly and pointed to one of the directions, "You can walk about three or four hundred meters away, turn left, and then get on the elevator."
"Thank you, I'm really bothering you."
The girl bowed very politely and turned away.
This is just a small episode, but Zhang Yuan’s desire to learn is even more intense!
The girl just now seemed to be his peer, but she was invited to attend a life science conference.
Zhang Yuan sighed.
"There is no good paper, no high education, and there is no right to breathe. Undergraduates have really become the bottom of society..."
"I guess there is no one with a lower education than me."
"We have to go and see what my paper is going on. What's going on? It's been almost ten days since I invested it..."
After so many days, I should have responded a little.
I went to the cafeteria to scoop a few bites of rice, but there was no special food. The vegetables were naturally pollution-free and water-free, but the meat dishes were all synthetic meat and the taste was not very good.
Zhang Yuan hurried back to his dormitory, he connected to the spacecraft's communication system and applied to enter the Earth Internet.
[Hello, please select the traffic package service you need to purchase. 1 yuan = 1gb.]
The average distance between the moon and the earth is about 380,000 kilometers. The communication speed of electromagnetic waves is the speed of light, and the delay of one round and one round is more than two seconds. Therefore, it is basically impossible to play instant online games.
However, it is okay to send emails, or call to watch videos, as long as you can endure a two-second delay.
After a while, Zhang Yuan opened his email address and found that a reply letter was already lying there quietly.
I don't know which link the review process has been reached.
He opened the email with a little anxiety, his face slightly changed.
"Hello, your opinion is very good, but there are still many shortcomings..."
"...so I will not consider submitting for review."
What's going on!
Was the manuscript rejected?
Zhang Yuan frowned and read the email carefully.
This editor did not directly refuse to submit it for review, but instead put forward many revisions.
But if you want to modify it as required, the structure of the entire article will be greatly changed, which is no different from rewriting an article.
Zhang Yuan sighed a few times. "Modern Science" is indeed not easy to publish.
He didn't want to waste too much time in such a place, so he might rewritten an article, but the other party was still not satisfied?
He immediately called Professor Wang Zhong on Earth and asked him to give him some advice. It was definitely correct.
"What? Modern Science rejected the manuscript? Let you rewrite it?"
"Yes, I'll forward the review email to you."
Professor Wang Zhong looked at the computer for a minute and said a little strangely: "What kind of review opinion is this? It's so hard to make things difficult for others?"
He hesitated for a moment, and seemed to have thought of something, whispered: "Your paper only signed your name, right? I heard that some journal editors with misconduct, will take the opportunity to ask for bribes when they see you have no background. Has he contacted you privately and asked you for bribes?"
Zhang Yuan said in surprise: "I haven't contacted me privately... "Modern Science", are there any such journal editors?"
Professor Wang continued: "No matter where you are, there is a dark side and has nothing to do with the influence of the journal. If someone really calls you for bribes, you can record it and let me deal with it. As for this matter, if you are more anxious, you can submit a different journal, such as "Science Pioneer"..."
"Although the impact factor is a little lower, we can speak here and help you review the manuscript first. For this issue, you can consult Professor Lu."
Zhang Yuan called again to Professor Lu Junzhe from the School of Mechanical Engineering of Xisha University.
"I didn't pass the first level?" Professor Lu Junzhe's voice became louder: "Modern Science is getting worse and worse. You have to revise such manuscripts! Who reviewed them?"
All their follow-up work is based on Zhang Yuan's paper, and they are still being called back. In addition, the annual evaluation will start in a few months. How can he not be anxious?
"I don't know who reviewed it." Zhang Yuan said, "Can I vote for "Science Pioneer"?"
Lu Junzhe thought about it and replied: "Well, "Science Pioneer" is also good, but the impact factor is slightly lower. If you don't mind, you can vote."
"I will call Editor Hu and ask him to help me review the manuscript soon."
Of course, Zhang Yuan didn't mind. Now he just wants his paper to be published as soon as possible.
Gold will always shine. Can you change a journal and be afraid of being buried?
