Chapter 30 Thesis Monthly Pass)
Paul Korchagin once said: Don’t regret wasting your years, don’t be ashamed of doing nothing.
You can put aside the matter of eating barbecue for now. After all, it is the end of the second lunar month and there are still a few days before the Qingming Festival.
Teacher Shen has started working hard since she determined the direction of "research".
Today will be another fruitful day, and the fourth paper will be finished soon.
In the morning, Shen Guanglin was working hard in the office, writing papers crazily.
In fact, writing a paper sounds very high-level, but it is not difficult to do it.
This is the same as writing an eight-part essay. It has a fixed format and a fixed routine. As long as there is content and ideas, just follow the procedure step by step. It is nothing more than whether the argument is novel or not, and whether the viewpoint is fallacious.
It is not difficult for Shen Guanglin to write a novel paper, and it is not difficult for anyone to come up with novel ideas.
After all, even an ordinary person can say that there is a time black hole between the earth and the sun, and people who enter can go back in time.
But how do you prove that this thing actually exists?
This is the more difficult thing.
The most difficult thing for Shen Guanglin is actually not writing thesis arguments, but how to find citations, find arguments, and prove that his arguments are correct.
Because he doesn't know the level of technological development in this era, and he doesn't know which article to quote is more appropriate. It would be great if there was a team to help.
Even if you are making up a paper, you must make it reasonable and complete. This is a complex and huge systematic project.
Shen Guanglin's main job in the past was writing papers.
Four years as an undergraduate and two years as a graduate student, he has never done any groundbreaking work.
What Shen Guanglin and his classmates did most was basically "repeated experiments."
Because they are all based on the original paper, as long as the experimental purpose can be achieved, it means that the person who wrote the paper is very "fastidious" and indeed has research results.
If the experiment is repeated many times and fails, there may be a big problem. This person's experiment is probably fabricated, that is, this person went off the beaten track.
This is just like Mr. Han Qiuyu from Jizhou University of Science and Technology. A new technology of Nobel level that cannot be reproduced by others directly appeared out of thin air. In the end, he was ruined and his reputation was ruined.
Shen Guanglin is studying in a prestigious university. His boss is both a graduate tutor and a doctoral tutor. However, his boss is not a groundbreaking researcher, but a standard industry fraud inspector and an out-and-out critic.
Generally, for articles published in "Nature" or "Science", as long as the cost is not particularly high, the boss will arrange for his scientific research dogs to conduct repeated experiments. The purpose of the experiment is not to affirm, but to deny, find faults, and find mistakes.
Even some research results that originally had no major problems but were not very rigorous can almost still discredit the researchers and even be labeled as academic misconduct after their repeated attacks.
Scientific research cannot tolerate any moisture.
The cost of scientific research and research is not cheap at all.
Shen Guanglin has never had the opportunity to display his innovative ability. Although he studied at one of the world's top schools, the teacher's goal was not to achieve academic success. Instead, like the paparazzi Zhuo Wei, he relied on academic "blackmail" to make a living.
After coming to Beijing University, Shen Guanglin found the familiar feeling of the past while helping teachers translate and revise papers.
Although it is only a small paper, it is not easy to find the fallacies after Teacher Shen's review. Through his wonderful writing, the paper was finally published, which is also a pleasing thing.
After all, no matter what, even though it is only 50 yuan, it is still money.
Shen Guanglin's paper is written in English.
In the past, at MIT, under his boss, Shen Guanglin was a pure paper writing tool person. He wrote papers with his head down every day. He had already formed the habit of writing papers directly in English. If he was really asked to write Chinese papers, it would be wrong. If you don’t know how to write, English is easier.
Therefore, Shen Guanglin's first three papers and the fourth paper he is writing are all written directly in English. It would be difficult for him to write in Chinese.
Writing an English paper first and then translating it into Chinese for publication was a cunning practice of some scientific research experts in later generations.
Moreover, they usually submit to foreign journals first. If they are not favored, they then re-submit to domestic journals and reuse the waste.
Later, domestic journals also learned to be smart and began not to include such articles. Instead, they publicly advertised how much an article would cost and they would publish it for you.
It became a means of making a living.
As for whether the paper has academic value, who cares?
It can help you graduate successfully, be evaluated for professional titles, and win awards.
Shen Guanglin was writing his thesis when a teacher came in.
This teacher’s surname is Wang, and his name is Wang Mingming. He is the original author of the paper that did not even have a translated title.
Teacher Wang was also a good athlete and was well versed in various fighting techniques, but he was still a bit weak in the academic area.
However, he has a keen sense of politics, and he discovered the changes in the academic world very early, so he actively packaged himself. From then on, he no longer talked about "revolution as the key link" and "two whatevers", but took up the banner of academic research. Prepare to be a professional scholar.
For Teacher Shen, Shen Guanglin doesn't mind helping him fulfill his academic dream as long as he is willing to spend money.
Unlike other teachers who were not grateful when asking Shen Guanglin for help, but instead constantly urged them to catch up, Teacher Wang’s attitude was very good:
"Hello, Teacher Shen, you are busy right now. I see that you are working hard and asked someone to bring a fish from the countryside. Look at the hem of this skirt. It is very thick."
Shen Guanglin looked up and saw that it was him again.
He smiled slightly, but did not put down his work: "The turtle is a good thing, and its shape is good for complementing its shape. Oh, is it such a big one? It's so thick and long!"
The turtle brought by Teacher Wang is indeed very big. It looks like it weighs at least a dozen kilograms. Generally speaking, a turtle of three to four kilograms is good enough to serve on the table. A turtle weighing ten kilograms has already become sperm. I want to meet it. It's not easy.
Shen Guanglin teased the turtle with a pencil. The old guy stretched out his head quickly and bit it with a click.
After a few strokes, the pencil broke.
"Are you trying to urge me to finish my thesis faster? I already know." Shen Guanglin understood what he meant.
"No, no, I just came to see you." Teacher Wang laughed insincerely.
"Teacher Wang, sit down. Your paper has been written. There are many things that need to be revised. You can read it yourself. It is best to translate it into Chinese and familiarize yourself with it first." Shen Guanglin already has a fortune of tens of millions, but he still wants to pay for 200 yuan. It's not worth it to bend down, just think about it.
But 200 yuan is already the most money Teacher Wang has given. Some teachers only gave 50 yuan, and some teachers didn't give a cent. They also thought that as a young man, they thought highly of you when they asked you to translate.
Shen Guanglin did not defend himself, but secretly decided that after this incident, he would never take another job like this again.
Teacher Wang picked up the paper on the table and read it, then became silent.
To be able to be a teacher at Beijing University, of course, it’s not like someone who doesn’t learn a lot.
However, Teacher Wang was a traditional Russian teacher who asked him to read English papers. After working hard for most of the day, he just recognized some English words.
Shen Guanglin had been writing there for a long time, and was about to check some reference materials. When he looked up, he saw that Teacher Wang was still there, seeming to be reading the paper very hard and attentively. His serious look made it seem as if he had been deeply involved in the paper for a long time.
No, you still have to pretend in front of me.
"How's it going? Is it worthy of your 200 yuan?" Shen Guanglin asked with a smile.
It is really difficult to correct this article. There are 17 fallacies in the whole article. It really takes some skill to correct them one by one without losing the color of the original article.
"Teacher Shen, can I take it back and have a look?"
"Aren't you going to publish it? I have to mail it out in the next two days, otherwise I wouldn't be spending my good time in the office writing papers." Shen Guanglin hasn't played with sister Li Li for many days. Man Working is like playing a game and you will forget everything, woman, haha.
"Publish, of course it must be published, but can I make a copy? Didn't you say that there are a lot of changes? I also want to write down what has been changed."
It makes sense, Lao Wang also knows that his academic level is not good.
Of course, Shen Guanglin had no reason to refuse, so Teacher Wang happily took his paper away. He didn't know that he also took away a paper that Shen Guanglin originally wrote for himself.
Since Shen Guanglin wrote pure English papers, Teacher Wang did not have the ability to translate them at all. After he brought the papers back, he first made copies and then found someone to translate them into Chinese.
It's not easy to do this at Beijing University, mainly because you can't save face, but you can do it very well when you go to Wudaokou Vocational and Technical College.
In this era, foreign journals were very expensive, costing tens or hundreds of dollars. Even in later generations, some academic journals were not something you could buy if you wanted to.
Therefore, some scholars who are interested in academics will entrust people who go abroad to photocopy or excerpt important papers, and then bring them back home and translate them into Chinese. If they understand and study by themselves, they will be considered to have kept up with the international advanced level.
Many people do this, including Teacher Wang.
The paper was quickly translated. There were two in total, one of which was the paper written by Teacher Wang himself. However, the arguments and arguments were almost different, but the general meaning should have remained the same.
The other paper is also Teacher Wang's "research field". It is an extension and development of his paper, and is his "next step" work in the future. However, Shen Guanglin has completed it in advance, but the conclusion is completely different from what he had in mind. different.
After checking and deducing, Teacher Wang found that what Shen Guanglin wrote was actually correct, and Teacher Xiao Shen's research conclusion was more realistic.
This is the latest cutting-edge achievement, is it also prepared for you?
No matter what, the worst case scenario is paying him another 200 yuan.
Teacher Wang turned around and submitted the Chinese versions of these two papers to Acta Physica Sinica.
"Acta Physica Sinica" is a comprehensive Chinese academic journal of physics sponsored by the Institute of Physics and the Institute of Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences. It is published bimonthly. It was first published in 1933 and was not changed to "Acta Physica Sinica" until 1953.
When the teachers and professors of Kyungseong University submit the Journal of Physics, they can be considered as returning to their own homes.
Because the current editor-in-chief of "Acta Physica Sinica" is Mr. Wang Zhuxi, the vice president of Beijing University and the director of the Theoretical Physics Teaching and Research Office. He is a leading figure in Chinese physics. Yang Zhenning and Li Zhengdao were both his students.
"Introduction to Special Functions" written by Mr. Wang is a book specially written for theoretical physicists and has made great contributions to the development of Chinese physics.
And Shen Guanglin didn't know all this.
Chapter completed!
