The next day, in the library.

After hitting the final mark, Li Mu finally completed the paper.

"OK, according to what Professor Lin Yao said, there is basically no problem and you can submit your manuscript."

Well, the name of that journal is... Archives of Rational Mechanics and Analysis.

The English name is very long, called "ARCHIVE FOR RATIONAL MECHANICS AND ANALYSIS".

I logged onto the external network and found the website of this journal.

Every time he sees a page on a foreign website, Li Mu feels like he wants to complain. It feels like an antique interface.

Of course, he didn't care so much and went directly to the submission guide. Then according to the above explanation, he first clicked the submit manuscript button and then entered a page.

This is a login page, a submission system provided by Springer, a world-renowned publisher of scientific journals.

Many well-known scientific and technological journals are published by this company, so authors of papers in different journals can register an account on the system to publish papers in multiple journals more conveniently.

Soon, Li Mu also completed the registration, and then uploaded and submitted his paper.

After completing these steps, you can see that the manuscript has entered the [Submitted to journal] status.

The next step is to wait for the state to change.

The manuscript needs to be reviewed by the journal editor first, mainly to ensure that there are no major problems with the format of the paper, and it is also the first check on the quality of the paper.

If the quality of the paper is so bad that even journal editors can’t look at it, and it’s purely watered down, some journals may choose to accept it, but for the “Archives of Rational Mechanics and Analysis” which is in the first area and has relatively high quality requirements, "For journals like this, don't even think about it in the first place.

After passing this level, if it is a well-known expert, perhaps the editor can make a decision directly and choose to accept the paper. If it is not well-known, then it will wait for review by the reviewers.

The journal will decide to accept the paper only after it is approved by the reviewers.

All in all, the whole process is not complicated, but it does take a long time.

Some papers may take up to a year from submission to publication.

Of course, Li Mu didn't ask for anything else, just to have his paper confirmed for acceptance.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but ask the system in his mind: "If my paper can be accepted, but it exceeds the six-month time limit, doesn't it count?"

The system's voice sounded: "The host does not need to worry. As long as the value of the host's paper meets the value, the system will provide assistance."

"Providing assistance?"

How can this be assisted?

I have some doubts in my heart, but since the system has said so, there is no need to worry.

Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he noticed someone sitting next to him.

The figure looked familiar. He turned around and saw that it was the girl who called him senior.

"You are indeed here! Junior!"

Yun Rongshang said.

"Uh..." Li Mu said, "Senior Sister Da Ling?"

Yun Rongshang: "..."

She frowned and said, "It was a misunderstanding that day. You are not allowed to yell, you are an older senior!"

Li Mu shrugged, "Obviously you called me senior first, and now you call me junior."

Yun Rongshang rolled her eyes and finally gave up arguing with Li Mu on this issue.

"Forget it, I won't tell you about this, so I just want to ask you a question. I've been thinking about it for a long time. It's too difficult."

Yun Rongshang had a sad face, probably because he had a deep understanding of what it means to "beat me to death and you can't solve this math problem."

Then she placed the notebook in her arms in front of Li Mu.

"Finally a big notebook."

Li Mu thought of the small notebook that could fit in one hand last time and joked.

Yun Rongshang's face turned red and she retorted: "That small notebook is only for carrying with you. It is specially used to review knowledge when you have nothing to do."

Li Mu: "Wouldn't it be better to review knowledge in your head?"

"How can you remember so clearly! Do you still have a photographic memory?"

Li Mu: "...It seems like."

He seems to be really capable.

Yun Rongshang wanted to retort, but suddenly remembered that Li Muchai could write SCI in his freshman year, so she gave up the idea.

Forget it, it's better not to argue with such a ruthless person.

Otherwise, she might be the one who suffers in the end.

At this time, Li Mu finally looked at Yun Rongshang's question.

[Proof: A continuous function on the bounded closed interval [a, b] must be consistent and continuous on [a, b]. 】

With just one glance, the computer in his mind had already analyzed the entire problem. Then he raised his eyebrows, then picked up his pen and started writing.

"This question is actually very simple. First of all, you have to clarify what knowledge point the questioner wants to test."

"ah?"

Yun Rongshang hadn't reacted yet. She was watching Li Mu thinking just now, and a sentence came to her mind: Science boys are the most handsome when they think seriously.

She was about to agree with this sentence in her heart, but Li Mu ended her thinking?

Is this... done?

"Ah what? Do you know what the knowledge point that this question focuses on is tested?"

"I...Lagrange's mean value theorem?" Yun Rongshang recalled various knowledge points in his mind, and finally spat out the term carefully.

Li Mu: "..."

Are you talking nonsense?

"You don't know such an important theorem as the finite coverage theorem?"

"It seems..." Yun Rongshang racked her brains and thought for a while, and finally remembered that their teacher just mentioned this new knowledge in class yesterday.

As for what?

She forgot, but she must have taken notes.

Regardless of all that, she nodded: "I know."

Li Mu glanced at Yun Rongshang, shook his head with a sigh, and said, "Last time...well, forget it, let's not talk about it."

The question he asked last time was so interesting that he thought this girl was pretty good at math, but now...

It seems to be a la carte.

I don’t even know how to solve such basic questions...

"That's it for this question..."

Then he took some scratch paper from the side and started writing on it.

[From the continuity of f(x), we can get ∀ɛ>0...]

Li Mu wrote the proof process on the scratch paper while explaining it in a low voice. After all, this is still a library.

Yun Rongshang listened on the side and breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

The few words Li Mu asked her just now made her feel like she was asking the teacher, and the teacher looked disgusted.

Thinking that this guy was just her junior, she pouted, he was just better at math.

What an air.

Then he listened to Li Mu's lecture with an obedient expression.

"Then we use the finite covering theorem and we get... Finally we can complete the proof."

"Wow, that's how it works! I understand!"

Yun Rongshang's face showed surprise, she was really good at mathematics!

Then I was remembering crazily in my mind: Damn it, what is the finite coverage theorem... How could you forget it?

As for asking Li Mu?

Forget it, I'll check it out later when I go back.

"Do you really understand?" Li Mu looked suspicious.

"I really understand." Yun Rongshang nodded like a chicken pecking at rice. Then in order to avoid being spotted by Li Mu, she looked to the side, and then she saw the interface displayed on Li Mu's computer at a glance.

Seeing the all-English interface above, she found the target to change the topic and immediately asked: "What is this?"

"This?"

Li Mu took a look and said: "SCI submission system, submitted to SCI."

Yun Rongshang was stunned again.

Invest in SCI?

Is Li Mu going to SCI now?

And it looks like it’s still a foreign SCI?

She remembered the paper she saw Li Mu writing before. Could it be this?

This guy……

If I had known earlier I wouldn’t have asked!
