It is not uncommon in academia that one topic can produce a large number of top journals.
For example, as soon as the Large Hadron Collider at CERN and CERN is started, a large number of papers will be produced that will knock out the top journals such as "Nature", "Science", and "PRL".
After all, the Large Hadron Collider only starts up every one or two years, and the cost of starting up is as high as hundreds of millions of euros. It is understandable that it produces a lot of top publications.
But Li Mu’s project is not as costly as the Large Hadron Collider.
Even for his project, the total cost was less than 50,000 yuan, and the money was mainly used for laboratory rental fees and consumables.
Calculating based on the 5 million yuan the school gave him, he can do this kind of project ninety-nine times and produce 396 more top issues—ahem, of course this is just a joke.
But no matter what, Li Mu's output rate on this subject is really enviable by others.
Even these papers of his were invited to contribute.
Of course, in fact, according to common sense, there is no need to actively invite Li Mu to contribute to a top journal like "PRL". Even if his single paper can be published in "PRL" in terms of value, "PRL" will not be the same. Lower your stance.
However, when Li Mu's four papers were put together, they have brought significant influence in the academic world. Therefore, each of his papers has the value to be worthy of invitations from these top journals.
It’s understandable that “PRL” can lower its profile.
Therefore, although others are very envious of Li Mu's four top publications, they can only admire him in their hearts.
This is what people deserve.
In addition to Li Mu receiving all kinds of attention, Wu Mengyuan also received a lot of congratulations.
Because of the "Electrodynamic Analysis of Electronic Behavior at the Interface of Two Types of Conductors" submitted to "PRL", Wu Mengyuan's name is also in the author column.
…
In Wu Mengyuan's office.
"Meng Yuan, Meng Yuan, you really have a good student."
Wu Mengyuan laughed when he heard the voice coming from the other side of the phone.
"Luck, it's all luck, who would have thought of such a thing?"
"You kid, why couldn't you learn from Li Mu back then? Save the teacher more troubles. You kid has caused me a lot of trouble. Do you still remember that centrifuge that you smashed to pieces? I was beaten by your kid at that time. My face turned pale with fear.”
"Oh, Teacher Zou, this is all old news, so don't mention it again, hahahaha~"
Wu Mengyuan kept laughing.
The person who called him was his mentor, Zou Wen, an academician of the National Academy of Sciences. He is almost 90 years old this year and is a pillar of the country in the physics community.
After Zou Wen learned about the paper written by Wu Mengyuan and Li Mutou, he also sent him congratulations.
When old things were brought up again, Wu Mengyuan couldn't help but remember them for a while.
"Okay, I won't say much else. The paper you and Li Mu collaborated on is of high value and important. I also heard a great response from Shangjing."
"You should report this result later and apply for the National Natural Science Award. I will also contact old friends here to try to get you on the list for next year's academician selection. I should still be sure."
"You should also ask your school and your School of Physics to work hard. Especially the old guys in your school are also very powerful, including Academician Le and Academician Yue."
When Wu Mengyuan heard the teacher's words, his eyes widened immediately, and he still had some reaction for a moment: "I...I...I..."
It's hard to speak anymore.
It was not until the end that he sighed and condensed it into five words: "Thank you, Teacher Zou!"
"Haha, you deserve this, and it's also because you accepted a good student. If you want to thank me, go and thank me, Li Mu." Zou Wen said with a smile: "Okay, there is nothing else to do. Come to Beijing when it’s time, and let’s have a drink.”
"Okay! Definitely!"
The phone hung up, but Wu Mengyuan couldn't calm down for a long time.
Academicians represent the pinnacle of domestic academic circles.
Enjoy deputy ministerial level treatment, priority in experimental funding applications, etc. The most important thing is the honor brought by this title.
It means the highest recognition of his academic work.
He has participated in the co-optation of academicians many times, but basically it was because he was still a little behind in terms of results and had to accompany him for many years.
He is definitely not lacking in connections. His teacher Zou Wen is a leading figure in the domestic physics community. As long as he is qualified, he has a high chance of being selected.
And today, he finally received the good news.
Of course, he knew to keep a low profile on this kind of thing, so even though he was extremely happy, he didn't publicize it everywhere.
It's just that this kind of excitement has to be expressed, and who can rejoice with it?
He soon had a perfect candidate.
…
"Congratulations to the host, the mission [How can two lovers be enough?] completed!"
"The host has worked really hard to find a new lover, and to have made such great achievements to welcome your new lover fully demonstrates that you are a passionate but not sentimental arsonist."
Li Mu: "...Do you want to be so coquettish?"
"Your results have made the connection between physics and chemistry closer, and opened up a new horizon for the chemical world. This evaluation is: perfect."
"This mission brought 6500 energy points to the upgrade. The current upgrade progress is 6543/30000."
6500 energy points!
Hearing this reward, Li Mu felt a little satisfied. It was not bad, and it was not in vain that he had published four top articles in a row.
Then for the time being, forget about what the system just said.
It's a pity that he won't be given any other rewards.
The number of simulations of the real universe environment is not extravagant, but one can also be done like the previous directed extraction of the underlying program of the universe!
Unfortunately, the system ignored him.
At this moment, his cell phone suddenly rang.
At first glance, it was Professor Wu calling.
He was slightly startled.
It's already late now. Why did Professor Wu call suddenly?
The call was answered.
"Xiao Li, come and have a meal with me. I'll treat you and take you to try a very good private restaurant."
…
With a confused look on his face, Li Mu was called by Wu Mengyuan to a private restaurant outside the school.
Just the two of them.
This private restaurant is hidden in a residential building, so it may be difficult to find it without a recommendation.
This made Li Mu have to sigh with emotion that he was a professor with rich experience, and he could actually find food in a place like this.
Wu Mengyuan has probably been here many times, and the boss is very familiar with him. He smiled and asked, "Professor Wu, here we are again."
"Haha, yes." Wu Mengyuan said with a smile: "Just serve those dishes, you know, and get a bottle of Niulanshan."
"Okay, wait!" the boss responded.
Li Mu and Professor Wu entered a small room and sat down, and the liquor was quickly served.
Wu Mengyuan started to drink, and at the same time asked Li Mu: "Do you want to drink?"
But then he shook his head and said, "Forget it, you'd better stop drinking. Students should drink less. I'll just drink."
Seeing Wu Mengyuan like this, Li Mu became more and more confused. What on earth happened?
But he still caught a hint of the professor's joy.
"Professor, did something good happen?"
Wu Mengyuan laughed and finally told Li Mu what made him extremely excited.
After Li Mu heard this, he was immediately stunned.
Good guy, is he really going to help his mentor become an academician?
