Chapter 88 The gaze of a higher level (Third update!)
"What? The external review editor responded so quickly?"
In the office, Tian Liangwei put down the thermos cup in his hand and looked at Xu Yun with some surprise:
"It's only been a day, tsk tsk, Lao Mo is really a very loyal person."
Looking at the little old man in front of him with the expression 'My friends are awesome', Xu Yun couldn't help but rolled his eyes slightly:
"Teacher, you are a crook after all. Is it appropriate to call you Lao Mo Lao Mo?"
"Why is it inappropriate? That guy has lived in Sichuan Province for seven or eight years, and he can play mahjong better than you, do you understand?"
"."
Seeing that he had regained a victory in front of his apprentice, Tian Liangwei continued to ask:
"By the way, what did Lao Mo write in his reply? Is there anything that is more troublesome or needs major changes?
He has a rather serious temperament, and if he doesn't protect everything, he will pick out the bones somewhere. ”
Xu Yun shook his head when he heard this, turned out the email on his phone, and handed it to the teacher:
"No, Mr. Morton's tone is very kind. In addition to finding a few inappropriate footnotes, there are some more precise semantic deletions. I will try to send it back to him after the corrections are completed tomorrow."
As an external review editor for a top publication, there is no need to doubt Morton’s professionalism.
After reading Xu Yun's paper, he did not rush to reply, but patiently picked out a few points, and then sent them back to Xu Yun's mailbox in a formal format.
This kind of behavior is not just nitpicking, but a standard review process in the paper field, which is also commonly known as proofreading.
Locally, it is generally called the three trials and three schools, also known as the bald link.
A short one or two weeks can last for half a year.
Of course.
This is also related to Xu Yun’s first submission to a top biological journal.
Biology is not physics after all, and he hasn't fully understood some aspects yet, so it is normal for there to be mistakes.
For example, for some words in the early part of scientific research, he was not necessarily sure of the translation between Chinese and English, but Morton carefully circled these places.
Then Tian Liangwei stood up, walked to the window, and gently rubbed his shoulders:
"Okay, if there are no big problems, you can be responsible for the proof part yourself. I will urge them to publish it after the external review is passed.
The other thing is your patent issue. If nothing unexpected happens, there should be a result within half a month. ”
"I'll go, half a month?"
Hearing this time, a question mark suddenly appeared on Xu Yun's face visible to the naked eye:
"No. Teacher, how could it be so fast?"
Tian Liangwei glanced at him and said slowly:
"This time, with Principal Hou or Dean Hou personally helping, the review time will naturally be faster."
Hearing Principal Hou's words, Xu Yun was stunned for a moment, and then his pupils suddenly shrank!
Throughout the entire history of the University of Science and Technology, whether before or after the move to the south, there was only one dean named Hou, and that is the current dean Hou of the Academy of Sciences!
When talking about Principal Hou, it is natural to mention another person first.
This person’s surname is Zhu, and he is one of the longest-serving presidents of HKUST.
During his tenure as president, he performed countless miraculous operations and made a mess of the situation left by President Tang. He is known as the most divisive president in the history of HKUST.
To a certain extent, a large part of the current antagonistic relationship between volutes and nut shells is his work.
The most outrageous thing is that after leaving office, this person also promoted quantum Buddhism—yes, not quantum mechanics, but quantum Buddhism, claiming that meditation can form an entangled state.
During those years, the University of Science and Technology was in a state of chaos and engaged in contractionary policies. It had the name of a University of Science and Technology, but did not have the reality of being a University of Science and Technology.
And just after this person ruined the University of Science and Technology and left, the University of Science and Technology welcomed the most highly regarded president since the 1990s, Hou Xingyuan.
Hou Xingyuan is one of the presidents in the history of HKUST who inherited the past and ushered in the future. He inherited a mess that was filled with the atmosphere of the old era, but what he handed over was a modern university that has caught up with the new era.
During his tenure, he continued to bridge the relationship with the Academy of Sciences, local governments and the Ministry of Education. He also reversed the discipline construction plan of abandoning engineering and mathematics and focusing on physics and chemistry, reducing the wrong policy of tossing around.
The salary of faculty and staff has been improved, and funding for a large number of bizarre projects has been cut off - such as research on reincarnation, research on the telepathy produced by placing jellyfish on the head, etc.
You can say this:
Xu Yun's generation of students is the generation that has witnessed the overall process of the University of Science and Technology from decline to revival. They have witnessed with their own eyes what it means to turn the tide when it is falling and to support the building when it is about to collapse.
Therefore, after Hou Xingyuan was transferred, I don't know how many students had private disagreements.
no way.
The imprint he left on the students of HKUST is so deep that many of them are already like him.
Later, Hou Xingyuan was promoted to the Academy of Sciences. After Academician Ding, who had quarreled with Chai, resigned, he was successfully elected as the President of the Academy of Sciences, which was also an affirmation of his work.
Now that such a giant is speaking out, Xu Yun's patent application will naturally not be delayed.
However, Xu Yun is more concerned about the time of patent application.
"Does the president-elect also know about this?"
Tian Liangwei nodded with some emotion:
"Yes, Dean Hou has been paying attention to the news of HKUST. As soon as he saw the hot search topic the day before, he immediately called the president's office.
At that time, Xiao Pan tried to mention the patent application, but Dean Hou did not refuse. I just uploaded the relevant documents yesterday, and today it was shown that the internal recommendation process has been reached.
Dean Hou is like this. He talks little but never fails to do anything.
So Xiao Xu, the pressure on you and the school to eliminate cockroaches in East District this time is probably much greater than you think."
Xu Yun opened his mouth but said nothing.
Generally speaking, the patent application cycle for biopesticides is between six months and one year, and some may even be stuck for two or three years.
Even for a school with the background of HKUST, it is not easy to shorten the time to one month.
Therefore, when Tian Liangwei told him that the patent could be applied for in a short period of time, he vaguely guessed some possibilities.
But no matter how much he thought about it, he would never have imagined that the person who helped him would be a great figure like Hou Xingyuan?
President of the Academy of Sciences.
This can be said to be one of the highest achievements in the field of local scientific research, and is even more difficult to obtain than academician.
True.
Hou Xingyuan is willing to help apply for patent referrals. Most of the reasons are attributed to his feelings for HKUST.
But on the other hand, it also meant that he understood Xu Yun's information. After all, if there was a useless patent, he would not be able to spend such effort on it.
Even from the most conservative perspective, he at least knew that there was a person like Xu Yun at HKUST.
Therefore, for Xu Yun, the result of the patent application has become a secondary gain. More importantly, he has caught the eye of such a person.
It may be difficult to 'realize' it in the short term, but if Xu Yun has any more valuable results in the future, this relationship may be of great help!
Then Tian Liangwei looked at the clock on the wall, suddenly thought of something, and asked:
"By the way, Xiao Xu, do you have any ideas about the company's factory?"
Hearing the teacher's question, Xu Yun quickly came back to his senses and nodded:
"I already have something in mind. I have made an appointment with the person in charge of Luzhou High-tech Zone and am going to take a look at it tomorrow.
I came to you today to talk about this matter. Once the factory location is decided, a lease contract will definitely be signed, but the official seal of our company will be signed."
"Don't worry about the official seal."
Tian Liangwei waved his hand grandly:
"If nothing else happens, the official seal will be issued within two days.
After all, the business nature of our company includes medicine, so even using the new venture fund channel will take some time.
You can go and see the factory first and try to decide on the factory location first. The school's idea is to have the factory put into production smoothly within a month! "(End of Chapter)
