Chapter 46: Beat you to death, you prodigal!
Nobel Prize winner Carl Weiman finally completed the review work and sent his review opinions to the editorial department of Science.
Editor-in-Chief Donald Kennedy frowned slightly as he received a new manuscript.
"This seems to be the original manuscript we sent, right? Why are there no suggestions for revision?"
Donald Kennedy found the original manuscript and compared the two. It was really like this, there was not a single word. Revise!
The reviewers are responsible for assessing the quality of the paper, pointing out problems, and making suggestions for improvement. The author of the paper is responsible for revising the paper based on the questions and suggestions raised by the reviewers.
If the reviewer and the author know each other, the reviewer may contact the author directly and the two will discuss how to make changes. If you are not familiar with it, you can provide feedback to the journal, and the journal will then provide feedback to the author.
Today, not a single word of the manuscript has been modified, and the reviewers have not made any suggestions for revision, which is really rare.
Donald Kennedy even felt that the reviewer was not doing his job!
As a Nobel Prize winner and a great figure in the academic world, Carl Weiman was a reviewer for many journals ten years ago. He has published a lot of papers himself, so he does not understand the rules.
The only explanation is that Karl Weiman believes that this is a perfect paper and does not need to be revised at all, not a single word!
“Is it a perfect paper?” Donald Kennedy wanted to make a point, but he was not a physicist after all, and his argument could not make a difference to the winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics.
“Karl Weiman has won the Nobel Prize after all, and I should trust his judgment! Since he thinks this paper does not need to be revised, then let’s not revise it!”
Donald Kennedy opened the paper quality evaluation form again, which shows the reviewers' evaluation of the paper.
“The great discovery brought to the world by this great scientist will surely lead a material revolution!”
Looking at this comment, Donald Kennedy was speechless.
“Graphene is a great discovery. There is nothing wrong with this evaluation. It has led to a material revolution. This is also inseparable. Who is a great scientist? Are you talking about the Chinese named Zhang Wei? ?
Is the adjective "great" too much? This guy is a complete unknown! You can find 2845 names on the Internet!
Do you know this Zhang Wei? But even if you know him, there is no need to lick like this! You are also a Nobel Prize winner, can you be more reserved? ”
The comments, coming from a Nobel laureate, made Donald Kennedy very uncomfortable.
However, this paper still needs to be published. Since it has been recognized by the Nobel Prize winner, there is no need to worry about the authenticity of the paper.
“Notify the author and tell him that the manuscript has been submitted. We will publish his paper and will send him a sample issue at that time.
In addition, this is his first time To publish a paper in our journal, you need a detailed personal information, and we have to file it," Donald Kennedy ordered.
……
Zhang Wei got off the plane, took a taxi and returned home.
My parents were having lunch and were very surprised to see Zhang Wei come back.
“I didn’t come back during the Chinese New Year. I said I wanted to study during the holidays. School has started now. Why are you back?” Dad Zhang asked.
"Isn't this why I was fired? I'm back." Zhang Wei said and sat directly at the dining table, picked up a steamed bun and took a bite, then picked up a chopstick and said with a smile; "Still, Mom's cooking is delicious!"
Seeing Zhang Wei's relaxed attitude, Zhang's father thought he was joking. He then asked: "Don't be ridiculous with me. Why did you come back? Are you out of money?”
“I’m not lying, I’m really fired.” Zhang Wei took out the withdrawal certificate from his pocket and handed it to Dad.
When Dad Zhang saw it, his blood pressure immediately rose.
“Is this your real thing?”
“It has an official seal! Can it be fake? It is illegal to engrave the official seal privately!”
“Why was I fired? ? ”
“It’s not a big deal. I did an experiment privately and violated the school rules. The school wanted to expel me. However, seeing that I had a good attitude towards admitting my mistake, they decided to let me drop out of school. ”
"Isn't this different? I'll beat you to death, you little bastard!" Dad Zhang said and already took out his belt.
"Dad, don't worry, listen to me first, it's just dropping out of school, it's not a big deal!"
"It's not a big deal after you've been expelled? I thought you'd take the exam Going to Tsinghua University can help our Zhang family to honor our ancestors, but you... I'll beat you to death!" "Dad, don't do it! It's just Qingda University, I'll take the exam again this year..."
< br>
Zhang Wei has already been beaten with a belt.
A small cane is taken away by a big stick, and a belt slaps the buttocks. It should be considered a big stick!
Feeling that his father was about to open Wushuang, and that if he didn't leave, he would really put in the bid and sell out, Zhang Wei hurriedly ran out.
“I’ll come back when my dad calms down!” Zhang Wei sighed helplessly.
In the middle of winter, Zhang Wei had no place to go, and it was quite cold to walk outside, so he simply found an Internet cafe to stay for a while.
Log on to QQ and then to MSN, and the new email reminder appears again.
"It was sent to me by the editorial department of "Science". My paper is ready for publication! I will also be sent a sample issue. The mailing address I wrote at the time seems to be Tsinghua University. Forget it, I will ask Ye Haotian to collect it for me when the time comes. Go!
I need to send you a piece of personal information and a legal identity certificate. I haven’t applied for a passport yet, so I’ll have to find a printing shop and scan it. Send them your ID card!”
……
In the evening, Zhang Wei returned home again, and Dad Zhang had indeed calmed down.
Seeing that there was no risk of being beaten, Zhang Wei quickly brought a cup of tea, handed it to Dad Zhang, and said with a smile.
"Dad, drink tea, I just made it for you."
Seeing his son serving tea and admitting his mistake, Dad Zhang calmed down a lot. After all, he is his biological son, even if he is angry to death, I can only accept my fate.
After taking a sip of tea, Dad Zhang said; "In the afternoon, I had a phone call with your former class teacher, Mr. Cai. He said that the registration period for the college entrance examination lasted from December to February.
While it’s still too late, I need to help you find a school to repeat your studies and register for it, otherwise you won’t be able to take the college entrance examination this year!”
“Find a school to repeat your studies? Go back to No. 1 Middle School!" Zhang Wei asked.
"I can't afford to lose that person!" Dad Zhang sighed: "What will happen when I go back to No. 1 Middle School to repeat my studies? Expelled from Tsinghua University? I don't have the nerve to see your principal and teachers again!"
“I want to save face!” Zhang Wei curled his lips secretly.
“So let’s find a repeat school! We also have several repeat schools in Qinhai, and the quality is pretty good, but they cost more. Fortunately, we are not short of money.”
Dad Zhang paused for a moment, then continued, "I went to the stock exchange in the afternoon and Qilu Petrochemical's price has increased to more than 100 yuan! The stock you bought for 500,000 yuan has already increased to 1 million yuan.
With this one million, I feel confident. Even if you don’t get into a good university, this one million will be enough for you to buy a house and get married. Remember to sell your stocks tomorrow. .”
"I sold the stock in October last year. But it was not sold for one million, only 700,000." Zhang Wei replied with a smile.
"That's not bad, at least you didn't lose money, and you're safe! Don't touch stocks anymore, it's too risky. Seven hundred thousand is enough for you to buy a house and get married."
< br>"Dad, actually, I have already spent the 700,000 yuan."
"Spent? Where did the money go?" Dad Zhang was shocked.
“Didn’t I say that I was fired because I conducted experiments against regulations. I spent all of the 700,000 yuan to buy experimental equipment.”
"Where's 700,000? It's all spent? Is there any left?"
"700,000 is not enough, so I paid for some living expenses myself!"
Dad Zhang's blood pressure once again rise.
“I’ll beat you to death, you prodigal son!”
This week’s recommendation didn’t make the cut, so I’m just short of a dozen follow-up readings, and the next one just happened to be on the edge, and that’s me. Nowadays, writing a novel is like this. Thank you all Daniel Wu for your support. Let’s continue to work hard for resurrection next week!
