Chapter 286 This is my dream for two lifetimes
Listening to what the editor said, everyone felt a little unbelievable, but after thinking about it carefully, they felt that this seemed to be the final answer to the matter.
In terms of scientific research value, Yuan Shuai's paper is of a level that can be published in the main journal of "Academic Sky", but at best it can only be barely published, and there is no guarantee that it will be published.
For a paper of this level, it is definitely not allowed to jump in the queue and mention it for publication. Even if it successfully passes the review of "Academic Star", it may take more than half a year before the paper is published. .
For a student like Yuan Shuai who has not published any research results publicly, he definitely hopes that a paper can be published as soon as possible.
From this point of view, it is a very normal choice to choose to submit the paper to "Nature" first.
"So, we are just a Plan B choice after "Academic Sky". I never thought that one day, we at "Nature" would be reduced to such a status."
"There is no way around this. After all, Xia's academic community is indeed too strong now. Not only has it made great progress in the field of mathematics, but the materials field is also in a leading position. In the field of science and technology, they are even more powerful. They have created two quantum computers with excellent performance, and even Google can only succumb to others.”
Some of these things are directly related to Ning Chen, but some are due to confidentiality reasons. They were unable to find out whether this was related to Ning Chen.
“Hey, it’s meaningless to talk about these things now. If another paper of the same value is submitted to us in Nature, do we have the confidence to reject such a paper?”
Upon hearing this question, the editors of "Nature" couldn't help but fell silent.
As he said, if the same thing happens again, I believe that not only will they not reject such a paper, but they will be very happy to accept it.
After all, the standard of this kind of paper is higher than the average level of the main journal of "Nature".
Even if they know that they may only be an alternative, this will not affect their decision.
……
With the release of this paper by Ning Chen and Yuan Shuai, more and more people are paying attention to this paper on new nickel oxide superconductors.
Because this superconductor once again broke the superconducting critical temperature record of superconductors, this paper attracted far more attention than the previous paper published by Yuan Shuai.
“It turns out to be a high-temperature superconductor of 160K! This superconducting critical temperature has exceeded the minimum requirement of high-temperature superconductors of more than 80K. It is really a shocking breakthrough!”
“This Suddenly, we are getting closer and closer to discovering room-temperature superconductivity. Once room-temperature superconductivity is realized, our world will undergo earth-shaking changes.” Shengzhou University Materials Laboratory. I hope these studies are not purely experimental, but can actually lead to applications. ”
In addition to the research result itself, the name of the original commander was also quickly known to the public.
It is undoubtedly a surprising thing to be able to publish papers in "Nature" and "Academic Sky" as the first author one after another.
What's more, Marshal Yuan is just a student now. This experience quickly reminded everyone of Ning Chen.
After learning that he had a high degree of discussion in academia and on the Internet, Yuan Shuai seemed a little nervous and anxious.
Shuai Yuan knew in his heart that he was not a genius like Ning Chen. On the one hand, he achieved such achievements because he enjoyed very good scientific research resources. On the other hand, Ning Chen’s role in them was indispensable. help.
Otherwise, Yuan Shuai felt that he would only be an excellent graduate student at best, and would be far from what he is now.
This state even affected the normal work of the former commander. Soon, Ning Chen also discovered an abnormality in the former commander.
Now Ning Chen is a very perceptive person. After careful thinking, Ning Chen roughly guessed the inner thoughts of the former commander.
Using his free time, Ning Chen found the former commander and started chatting with him.
“Commander Yuan, what’s bothering you recently?”
After hearing Ning Chen's question, the former commander hesitated for a moment and replied:
"Well...it's not a big worry. It's just that the attention I receive now may be too high. I I’m really not used to this feeling, and I feel that my ability is not worthy of such high attention. I am worried that my next performance will disappoint those who pay attention to me.”
Ning Chen didn't pay attention to the discussions about the former coach on the Internet, but with his understanding of this society, Ning Chen could probably guess how those netizens would evaluate or treat the former coach. definition.
This era really likes to create gods, but after creating gods, they will destroy them with their own hands.
Now on the Internet, everyone regards Yuan Shuai as the new "academic genius boy", "the next Ning Chen" and so on.
Ning Chen knew in his heart that the former commander was not a genius researcher. It would be difficult for him to produce a large number of incredible scientific research results in a short period of time like himself.
But this will not affect Marshal Yuan from becoming an excellent researcher. In some aspects, Marshal Yuan is even better than himself.
After thinking for a short time, Ning Chen said:
"Commander Yuan, I can understand your mood. When I just came to prominence because of Qiu Chengtong's college student mathematics competition, I also I was in a similar situation to you. At that time, I received a lot of doubts, and many people had high expectations for me.”
When mentioning this matter, the former coach also recalled that time. .
At that time, Ning Chen did receive a lot of attention. At least in the university, most people would know Ning Chen's name.
But the former commander did not feel that Ning Chen was under a lot of pressure like he is now. Instead, he felt that Ning Chen could handle these things very calmly.
“Ning Chen, I thought you really didn’t care about these things.”
“Of course I care in my heart, but I tried hard to control myself not to care about these things, not to It’s just that you are negatively affected by these discussions. Commander Yuan, first of all, you must learn not to care about these discussions on the Internet, and just focus on your own research work.”
Hearing Ning Chen’s words. , the former commander nodded seriously.
"Yes, I just care too much about what others think of me. I will learn not to pay attention to these messages in the future, as you suggested."
"Yes, as long as I keep a peaceful mind, Only then can we not be affected by external circumstances. On the other hand, we don't have to care about other people's expectations. We just need to be ourselves. As for what we can achieve in the end, we can't control it. "
Under Ning Chen's persuasion, the anxiety in the commander's heart dissipated a lot, and he could finally calm down and continue his work.
...In the following time, Ning Chen continued to research other nickel oxide superconductor materials with Yuan Shuai.
According to Ning Chen's previous prediction, it is difficult for other nickel oxide materials to have superconducting critical temperatures exceeding 160K, but it is also very necessary to conduct these studies.
This can continue to improve their research on this new type of superconductor system, and will also be very important in explaining the entire theory of high-temperature superconductors.
With the foundation of previous research, their subsequent research was smoother. Without encountering too many setbacks, they successively synthesized several other nickel oxide superconductors.
Such experimental results prove that Ning Chen’s previous superconducting model construction was very successful.
On the other hand, as the experiment progressed, the original commander gradually focused his attention on the experiment.
This also made Yuan Shuai ignore the discussions about himself on the Internet and no longer pay attention to things other than the experiment. The previous tension and anxiety also disappeared.
On this day, while working in the laboratory, Ning Chen suddenly received news of promotion from Xiaozhi.
[Master, a message that may be important to you has been detected. Do you want to check the message immediately?]
"Well, check it now."
Xiao Zhi usually Ning Chen would not be given such promotions very often, so if nothing unexpected happened, this would indeed be quite important news.
Immediately, Ning Chen received another message from Xiaozhi.
Seeing the source of the news, Ning Chen also realized the importance of this news.
“It turned out to be the news about the Zibei Space Launch Site... It seems that they really want something from me.”
When I visited the Zibei Space Launch Site before, Ning Chen once promised that if they encounter any problems that are difficult to solve, they can contact him at any time.
The reason why Ning Chen took the initiative to make such a commitment was that in addition to thanking the launch site for giving him the opportunity to visit, he also really hoped to have the opportunity to participate in some aerospace projects.
After all, this has been Ning Chen's dream for two lifetimes. After he has this ability, he also wants to maximize his ability.
With this thought, Ning Chen carefully checked the content of the message.
In the news, Zibei Space Launch Site first congratulated Ning Chen for publishing another major achievement in the field of superconductivity and sent some greetings.
After being polite, they explained the problem they wanted to ask Ning Chen for help.
They hope that Ning Chen can optimize the computer model of rocket launch. The function of this model is to conduct detailed simulation and prediction of the entire process of rocket launch, thereby helping engineers better optimize the design of the rocket. plan and accurately predict the performance of the rocket.
Ning Chen knew that this was a very arduous job, involving mathematics, physics, chemistry and other disciplines. It also required a thorough understanding of the physical characteristics, propulsion system, aerodynamic performance, navigation system and other aspects of the rocket. .
However, a lot of knowledge here is considered Ning Chen’s strength, and Ning Chen is very confident that he can do this job.
After confirming that he was ready to accept the invitation from Zibei Space Launch Site, Ning Chen responded with a confirmation message.
In the message, Ning Chen first expressed his willingness to help and would go all out for this project.
In addition, Ning Chen also hopes to get more internal information about rocket launches. After all, such information is difficult to obtain directly on the Internet. Without this information, Ning Chen would be very disappointed. It's difficult to do this job very well.
Ning Chen knew that this information was very top-secret, but since Zibei Space Launch Site was interested in cooperating with him, I believe they were also willing to share this information with him.
As expected by Ning Chen, after he replied to the Zibei Space Launch Site, the launch site readily agreed to his requests.
Soon, Zibei Space Launch Site shared a large amount of information about rocket launches with Ning Chen in an encrypted manner.
Ning Chen knew the importance of these information, and after ensuring that he would not leak the information, he carefully kept the information confidential in detail.
After returning home in the evening, Ning Chen came to the study and studied these materials carefully.
The amount of information in these materials is very large. If someone else reads it, it may take several months to read it, and it will be difficult to understand the content.
But for Ning Chen, it only takes a few days to fully digest this knowledge.
In the next few days, Ning Chen devoted a large part of his energy to learning the knowledge in these materials.
In addition to wanting to complete this work seriously, Ning Chen is also very interested in this knowledge, after all, it cannot be easily understood by the outside world.
Through studying these materials, Ning Chen learned a lot of knowledge that he didn't know before, and it also confirmed some of his previous ideas.
But at the same time, Ning Chen also realized that there were indeed many areas for improvement in the original rocket computer launch model.
Ning Chen first relied on his strong mathematical ability to modify and optimize some of the formulas and algorithms.
This allows the rocket launch model to simulate various parameters more comprehensively and accurately, greatly improving the accuracy of the entire simulation process.
After completing these formulas and algorithms, Ning Chen used Xiaozhi's modeling processing capabilities to conduct experiments on the new model.
What makes Ning Chen happy is that after completing these modifications, the new model will indeed be more accurate, with an accuracy improvement of 10% compared to the previous model.
Ning Chen is quite satisfied with this result, but this is not the result Ning Chen ultimately wants.
“If this is just the case, it would seem too insincere...On this basis, I have to make some improvements.”
Ten percent improvement , in Ning Chen's view, it is not an upgrade.
