Chapter 43 Gu Ge is not omnipotent
Since the "celebration banquet" that day, the five high school classmates who followed Gu Zhe all the way, even though they completely obeyed him, no one questioned what Brother Gu asked him to do.
Xu Song and Lin Jingjing started by pretending to be consumers, and went to glasses stores of major brands in the city to conduct market research, asked some tricky technical problems that Gu Zhe had designed for them, and then secretly wrote down all the responses of the other party's technical support staff.
Of course, this kind of work is very basic and has little value, but it is considered a warm-up. If you want to train a new team, you can only start with such a job.
Anyway, Xu Song and Lin Jingjing both felt that they were very bad, so they were embarrassed to get Gu Zhe’s salary for the time being, as long as he reimburses some transportation and communication expenses.
Ye Xiaomin and Shao Jia are also doing their own things. Shao Jia is relatively busier, mainly because she wants to help Gu Zhe find information and search documents.
Gu Zhe himself goes to class, reviews every day, and takes time to write papers in the library. Starting from the current industry and technical pain points, he will first accumulate some inventory materials.
For Gu Zhe, the argument part in the paper is actually completely free of brains. It can be solved in half an hour because he has the foresight of later generations. Of course, he knows where the pain points in the relevant materials science field are now and what to solve in the future.
On the contrary, the argumentation part is a little troublesome, and it is impossible for Gu Zhe to remember the entire argumentation and deduction process clearly when he is reborn.
Especially as a patent lawyer in his previous life, his mind was focused on those successful aspects, so there must be "survivor deviation". Gu Zhe was a little confused about the failed trial and error, and in some cases he could only take it for granted.
As for the actual technical experimental research, it has not been developed at all, and the first paper cannot be used.
...
There is no need to elaborate on the tedious and boring writing process.
As another weekend passes, it is next Tuesday, November 5th.
Gu Zhe felt that the paper he had pieced together was finally a little bit famous, so he decided to go to Professor Daniu to try his luck first.
The reason for Tuesday is that the professors are generally busy on Monday, prone to bad moods, and have the "Monday Syndrome" when they just started working.
Anyone who knows a little bit of psychology knows that things that are not important to the other party cannot come to the door on Mondays and Fridays, but on Fridays it is because he is busy getting off work without any thoughts.
Even the negative news on Wall Street has to be specially selected to release the checkpoint before get off work on Friday, so that at least half of the investors have no time to pay attention to it, and the intensity of the communication will be greatly reduced.
After the lunch break that day, Gu Zhe specially chose a relatively relaxed atmosphere and walked into Professor Zheng Jian's office in Materials Chemistry.
Professor Zheng is an academic leader in the field of polymer polymer organic materials in our school. He is at the level of department chair/vice dean. He occasionally teaches some lessons to undergraduates in the chemistry field of Zhu Kezhen College. As for those ordinary undergraduates who fail to get into Zhu College, there is no such opportunity.
There are many categories of research directions in materials chemistry. Even if you talk about organic polymerization alone, you can still divide into countless fields, and many professors are studying it.
Zheng Jian is not the most suitable one in the subdivision direction, but since he is an academic leader, Gu Che is not considered to be out of grade.
Gu Zhe knew that this person's academic conduct was quite good, at least there was no bad negative news in later generations, and a capable professor was not short of these small papers, so it was not easy to be swallowed up if he was asked.
Gu Zhe was still a freshman, so he had to be on guard against this.
"Professor Zheng, can I come in? Don't disturb me, right? That's right. I am Gu Zhe from Zhuyuan Level 02. You also took us an organic class.
I am very interested in some new application directions of polyamino acid hydrates mentioned in your class, and I also think of some pain points in life. After class, I checked the information myself and wrote something. I would like to ask you to correct me."
Zheng Jian was sitting there reading cutting-edge journals at the time.
As a professor at the level of department chair/deputy dean, if you encounter undergraduates, you will come to your door casually. If you are a little bureaucratic, you will definitely use the excuse of "busy business" to get rid of it first. (It is impossible to directly drive it away. They are all cultural people, but they are still very respectful)
However, Zheng Jian's style is still relatively pragmatic, and he has some impression of Gu Zhe, so he decided to set aside a few minutes to listen:
Isn’t this the freshman who came in with full scores in the chemistry experiment in his class, and even did experiments to make invention patents and received Qiu Chengtong’s scholarship! Although he only taught one class a week, he still remembered his face.
"Xiao Gu, right? I'll take a look at something from what direction." He took Gu Zhe's article casually and glanced quickly first.
Gu Zhe also explained it just right, saving the other party time.
Before Zheng Jian could see the key content behind, he just looked at the background first and asked casually: "How did you think of studying new materials for resin lenses and contact lenses? I mentioned the high-polyamino acid hydrate in class, but I never mentioned these directions, right?"
This question can only be considered a casual chat and understand the original motivation for choosing the topic, and it doesn't matter if you can't say it.
But even so, Gu Zhe had prepared before coming and immediately took off his glasses with great acting skills: "Oh, I have been exposed to a lot, and it hurts to get skin. I have been a little myopia since I was a child, and now I am over 600 degrees.
I was fat when I was a child. I could hold my head without a frame glasses. Every time I was strangled on both sides of the temples. I thought the moisture content of contact lenses was low, so I felt that my high myopia was uncomfortable.
After this college entrance examination, I paid attention to exercise and lost a lot of weight. I felt that my head circumference had become smaller. The frame-frame glasses that I had originally stretched down were falling. Last month, I went to many places to get a comfortable fit.
I happened to hear your class mention that today's contact lenses are made of silicone hydrogels or polyamino acid hydrates. I just wanted to do it all the time. What if I spend a few years in the future and figure out a material that is cheaper and more comfortable than it is now."
Gu Zhe spoke very slowly, and he even deliberately chose Professor Zheng to say slower when his eye movement frequency was relatively high. This would not delay the other party's speed of reading the paper, but also just listen clearly.
When Zheng Jian finished listening, he read about half of the paper and couldn't help but smile: "It's good for young people to have ambitions and dare to think, but don't do the work of reproducing wheels. If the stall is big, you want to get into anything and can't achieve top-notch results."
But your temper is indeed more energetic than the students I have ever met. Every time you use something uncomfortable, you want to change the world."
While chatting, Zheng Jian had already finished reading the paper. He looked at Gu Zhe with a suspicious look, then looked at the paper, shook his head and said:
"How to say it, this topic is OK, the argument... I think it is reliable, but there is something wrong with the argumentation process. If you don't say you are confused, at least you can say that you don't have a thorough understanding of the current situation of cutting-edge technology and have incomplete citations.
I don’t need to say much, just based on the speed reading just now, I will find three journals, five of which are written by you. You can take the time to borrow them from the library and check them.
There are several inferences here, so you can't be wrong, but at least you're re-creating the wheel, or... I don't want the students I teach to disrespect the existing academic achievements."
When Gu Zhe heard this, he immediately knew what was going on.
Of course, his thesis is absolutely correct, because he is a prophet, and the argument process is also correct in theory, but it may be that some existing achievements have been ignored - speaking human words are part of the arguments, which others have evaluated before him, and he should fully quote them.
He checked the documents and understood the current situation by himself, and added Shao Jia to do odd jobs to help him check it out. As expected, he was still not very rigorous.
Moreover, although CNKI has been operating for two years in 2002, the early CNKI was still very incomplete and the search function was also very scammed.
Gu Zhe was engaged in scientific research and writing papers in his previous life around 2010. In the next few years, he gradually studied for a master's degree in law and transferred to literature and went to patents across circles. The Internet search environment in later generations was of course very different from that in 2002, and Gu Zhe was not good at using it.
It seems that we have to strengthen our literature search assistant team, whether it is to increase the number of people or improve Shao Jia's business level.
He quickly admitted his mistake sincerely, saying that after he went back, he would first read the documents specified by the professor, and then carefully check for the omissions and fill in the gaps.
"Wait, it's not over. Your question is more than that." Professor Zheng called him seriously and continued to criticize.
"Your paper is too complicated, too much talk will lead to mistakes. Even if you want to write a review of the current situation of the industry, you either write only the technical pain points, or look forward to the solution direction of one pain point, which is considered a paper.
You have taken stock of several technical pain points like this and then listed the possible solutions one by one. Don’t you think there is too much content and there is no primary or secondary?
Your paper is divided into at least two or three, otherwise you will be able to correct it after you just call it back and ask it to be corrected. After making it twice, the cross-reviewer will definitely be out of patience - I don’t know why you have to pile up so many things, are you very anxious?"
After hearing this, Gu Zhe was ashamed again. He suddenly felt like he was a different life.
Because of similar words, in the past few years he worked in his previous life, the leader of his company's R&D department also told him - but the motivations of the two are not the same.
The leaders of the R&D department he met in later generations who looked at Gu Zhe's papers with "too much information" were criticized for not knowing how to break down the paper and brush the indicators: "If your paper is broken into three articles, it will be enough for three colleagues to evaluate the intermediate professional titles. How much waste will it be if you finish writing it at one time?"
At this moment, Professor Zheng also asked him to dismantle the papers, but it was not for the purpose of browsing the indicators and the number of papers. It was purely because Gu Zhe did not write in a standard way, and not dismantling it would easily lead to the probability of rejection soaring.
To translate it in human terms: If a paper is revised twice, there will be two minor mistakes, and the cross-reviewer may lose patience and reject it.
When Gu Che wrote an argument, the probability of two small mistakes was obviously much smaller than writing three arguments, the probability of only two small mistakes was found in total.
"I understand, I'll change it now." Gu Zhe felt that he still benefited a lot. After all, he didn't go too far in technology in his previous life. He was just a bystander who knew a little technology, and he was almost at a loss in terms of scientific and technological standards.
Seeing that his attitude was pretty good, Zheng Jian also thought it was rare for a young man, so he asked him: "Do I need me to help you modify an article in an exemplary manner? If necessary, you can go back and demolish it first. After the demolition, I will help you modify the first article and find all the cited documents.
Then the second and third articles are broken up, you learn my reforms. Also, what journals are you going to invest in?"
Gu Zhe quickly took the opportunity to express his gratitude to the professor for making corrections: "Thank you very much, I am going to apply to the Journal of Donghai University, but it is just English A."
In this way, the first article was indeed modified by the professor. Then, he would just teach himself the first author, Gu Zhe was the second.
Later, Gu Zhe changed it himself, so he taught communications, and Gu Zhe was the first.
As for the journal mentioned by Gu Zhe, it is owned by Donghai University. However, the Journal is also divided into two English AB series, plus five Chinese versions: science, engineering, agriculture, medicine and literature.
The English AB series all have SCI influence factors, and the average in 2002 was only 0.3~0.5, which is considered a relatively weak entry-level publication. After more than ten years of construction in later generations, there were about 0.8~1.0 and 1.5 respectively.
The English A series covers the fields including applied physics, machinery, energy, and biochemical environmental materials, so the majors you contribute to Gu Zhe are also considered to be in line with.
