Li Miaomiao is well aware of the significance of nature and the difficulty of publishing it. Even today, when academic qualifications are rapidly depreciating, with this nature, Zheng Li is at least an associate professor in the school.
Trivia: Pengcheng’s Peacock Project can directly subsidize 3 million yuan for the first author of Nature or the corresponding author.
With a work from nature, it would be too easy for Zheng Li to go to a prestigious international school and get a doctorate.
Li Miaomiao was not only happy for the other party, but also unwilling to give in. They were all freshmen, and the other party was much ahead of her.
"Congratulations. You were admitted to Nature in your freshman year. Do you have any plans after that?"
"I guess if you continue to stay in the Medical Polymer Laboratory, they will let you lead a group, and some of the students of the old professors will be assigned to you."
"All they need is a signature."
"You get free labor and more results."
This is the path that most people will choose. If you have talent, you can study hard on the academic path.
Li Miaomiao continued: "When you come back, there will be thousands of young people, even Yangtze River scholars."
Zheng Li said directly: "I have my own ideas. Starting from this year, I will not go to the medical polymer laboratory again. I have more important things to do."
It is proved that will can directly interfere with reality, and after the mage's spellcasting foundation exists, all plans will be launched around restoring the spellcasting ability.
He needs to create an artificial demon brain with more complex functions and better adaptability than the experimental artificial demon brain.
This purpose cannot be achieved in Jiangcheng University's laboratory. He needs to have his own biological laboratory.
Scientific research is just a means.
Li Miaomiao was very curious about his plan: "Aren't you going to come to the laboratory of the School of Biology?"
"Then what's your plan?"
Zheng Li replied: "You will know when the time comes, so let's not talk about it for now."
After Zheng Li hung up the phone, he found that his two roommates were all looking at him in horror:
"Zheng Shen, what did you just say?"
"I heard you right, you just said you posted a nature article?"
"Is it the nature we understand?"
"Or is there a new journal in China named Nature?"
After the two people talked back and forth, they looked at Zheng Li expectantly.
Zheng Li: "It's the nature you understand. I am the first author. The school should report it later and it has been published in the latest journal."
"See for yourselves."
After speaking, Zheng Li motioned for them to look at the computer screen. There was this sentence in the email:
Your paper, 'xxxxxxxxx', has been scheduled for publication in Nature on 28 February 2019 at 16:00 (London time), 28 February 2019 at 11:00 (US Eastern Time).
"Fuck!"
"Zheng Shen has gone beyond our understanding and is no longer a normal human being."
"Worship"
"Then will you transfer to the School of Biology?"
Because he was in a good mood, Zheng Li answered patiently: "No."
My roommate asked, "Why? If you go to the School of Biology, they will let you graduate in two years."
Zheng Li: "I also got an ARMA. If I wanted to, I could graduate in two years at the School of Mathematics."
The two roommates still didn’t know what ARMA was, and they were already numb after waiting for a thousand degrees:
"I will lie down first to respect you."
"I also lay down. I am actually the same type as Zheng Shen."
The two of them lay down on the bed. Their grades in their freshman year were actually very good, and they planned to work hard in the second semester of their freshman year.
I was so shocked that I didn’t want to work hard at all.
...
"What do you think of a freshman from the School of Mathematics at Jiangcheng University publishing an article as the first author in the main journal of Nature?"
This question quickly topped the trending search list on Zhihu, and there are many fans below.
"Thank you for the invitation. I just got off the plane in Midi. I can only say that the gap between people is greater than that between people and dogs."
"My freshman year in the School of Mathematics was published in Nature. I am about to graduate with my Ph.D. in the School of Biology and I haven't even published it in Area 1 yet."
“It feels like the Internet celebrity university is creating gods.”
"The specific situation will wait for the boss to explain in detail. I am skeptical about this for the time being."
"Could it be another case of academic fraud or the results of many people being transferred to one person?"
Short answers were mostly dominated by emotion and skepticism.
"Thank you. I was skeptical when I saw this answer. Not only because it is difficult to find nature, but also because most freshmen and those from the School of Mathematics can find nature. There are too many things that are unreasonable. .
You must know that publishing nature requires writing collaboration, which requires not only direction support, data analysis, article language polishing, etc., but it is becoming increasingly difficult for one person to work alone to publish nature.
There are only two authors in Zheng Shen's paper, which is hard to believe.
But after I read the special reports from Jiangcheng University and Yangtze Metropolis Daily, and then roughly read the paper, I felt that it was true.
Let me talk about Zheng Shen first. As an adult student, Zheng Shen’s grades have already far exceeded mine, which makes me feel very ashamed. I still have to work harder in the future. I must publish at least one cell sub-journal before I graduate with my PhD.
Zheng Li's grades in the School of Mathematics were all perfect, and according to reports, he almost never went to class. He relied on self-study and only went there during exams.
The School of Mathematics claims that he has completed all four years of university professional courses, and he has also published articles in the top mathematics journal ARMA, but ARMA is far less famous than Nature.
From this point of view, there is no doubt that he is a genius. Sometimes the more outrageous it is, the more true it is. Because the cost of fraud is too high, he is only 18 years old and still has a long way to go in his academic career. After he commits fraud now, he will participate in various This kind of academic conference will reveal the secret.
Judging from interviews with relevant people from the School of Mathematics and the School of Biology, he is a genius among geniuses. It is understandable that a genius can achieve such results.
In addition, going back to the paper, after reading the paper carefully, I found that the paper is more about designing a method to artificially synthesize endorphins.
What this requires is a flash of inspiration rather than the usual accumulation. From this perspective, it is also reasonable. At the end of the paper, the editor also said that the experiment could be reproduced. I can only say that it was awesome. It was published in Nature during my freshman year.
Finally, let’s talk about the significance of artificially synthesizing endorphins. First of all, there is still a long way to go before artificially synthesizing endorphins in the laboratory to large-scale industrial production.
Endorphins, as a substance naturally secreted by the human body, can play an analgesic role. They may be able to replace morphine on a large scale in the future, or they may be a new type of analgesic that is more friendly to the human body. "
In addition to this answer, there is also an answer from a doctor from the School of Biology at Jiangcheng University:
"As a classmate who has worked with Zheng Shen, I can only say that Zheng Shen is the most talented person I have ever seen. Whether it is experiments or theories, he is not inferior to anyone in the laboratory.
Especially for the sense of smell in scientific research, there are experiments that other experimental groups cannot do. If you ask him, he can always think of a solution. Several times we asked him to add him to the author of the paper, but Zheng Shen refused.
Later, after he published Nature, we learned that Zheng Shen disdained the journal we published.
It can only be said that some people's realm is too high, beyond the imagination of normal people. "
