Chapter 1163 Postscript 19·You have to thank us for writing your thesis
Of course Nie Qi didn't dare to swallow Xie Yan's damping paper.
First, the original author of the paper also has his own circle. Maybe the relevant content of the damping paper has been spread in the local academic circle. If you rashly embezzle other people's academic achievements, there is a great chance of overturning and your reputation will be ruined.
The second is the author's address of Xie Yanliu, which is the Tongpan Hall of Huangzhou Prefecture. Who knows if it is Tongpan himself. No matter how small the official position of Tongpan is, he is still the second-in-command in the government. There may be some connections behind it.
Nie Qi's idea is very simple: suppress the damping paper in one issue before publishing it.
These academic journals are all bimonthly, and one issue lasts two months. This issue will be published in more than half a month, which adds up to two and a half months.
Not letting more people know about the damping phenomenon for two and a half months was enough for Nie Qi and others to get ahead of the development progress of the damping balance.
And the reasons can be found casually, such as the paper needs to be reviewed and verified, or the paper schedule for this issue is full. Even if the truth is exposed in the end, Nie Qi can defend himself very calmly.
In fact, Nie Qi built the damping balance in less than two and a half months.
Moreover, the damper material he used is very similar to Xie Yan's. They both chose iron-zinc alloy, but the ratio is slightly different. This is the lightest alloy currently available and has both corrosion resistance and ductility.
sexual material.
Although they both added air dampers, their ideas were completely opposite.
Nie Qi still adopts the current mainstream practice of making the balance arm longer and longer. With the air damper, the balance arm can be further lengthened, which greatly enhances the balance's stability, accuracy, and ease of operation.
Xie Yan, on the other hand, shortened the scale arm.
Late autumn, Luoyang.
Royal Society of Physics.
An ultra-long-arm balance was born, and the position of the weight was slightly raised.
Both of these changes are brought about by air dampers.
Without air dampers, these two methods of improving accuracy will cause the balance to shake violently.
"We have finally made a breakthrough in the balance," Sun Sanyi said happily. "Those who study particles will probably go crazy with joy."
Nie Qi couldn't help but smile: "We also quickly wrote a paper and published it together with Huang Zhoulai's paper. Let's say that we were inspired by the damping phenomenon and built the damping balance in one month."
Although Sun Sanyi despised Nie Qi's actions, he was also a beneficiary, and he actually admired him at this moment.
Pressuring someone else's paper for an issue is not a big deal, let alone an illegal operation.
However, it can be guaranteed that during this period, there will be no more competition from peers, and the damping balance can be invented calmly in the most reliable way.
Moreover, the authors of the damping paper must also thank them.
They were the ones who passed the damping paper, and they invited the paper's author to join the society. Moreover, the damping balance they invented will make the damping paper more valuable, allowing the paper's author to gain fame more quickly.
They are actually Xie Yan’s benefactors!
The penultimate issue of the Journal of Physics this year was published quietly.
Except for those who pay attention to the academic circle, the monarchs, ministers, businessmen and people do not care about this stuff, and the general public has no idea what is going on.
However, it caused a huge stir in the academic world.
First of all, scholars in Luoyang came to the Society of Physics in droves. Even the semi-retired president of the Royal Society was carried here from the outskirts of Luoyang.
Due to the large number of people arriving one after another, Nie Qi simply moved to a large room for display, which was equivalent to holding a temporary academic achievement report meeting.
That extra-long-armed balance actually looks a bit ugly, but in the eyes of the scholars on site, it is the most beautiful and precious thing in the world!
Nie Qi went on stage to explain and experiment in person, while Sun Sanyi stood beside him as an assistant.
"Those who came today are all scholars in Luoyang, and some are officials who came here on leave." Nie Qi introduced an old man in the audience, "This is Guo Taichang (Qing of Taichang Temple). He came very early, and I'm afraid he won't even be able to attend."
I don’t know if I’ll be accused of neglecting my duties if I click Mao in Taichang Temple.”
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Everyone laughed when they heard this, and Guo Taichang also shook his head and laughed.
Nie Qi spoke very humorously and made a few more jokes before getting to the point: "On the second day after the deadline for the last issue of the Journal of Physics, Xiao Sun and I received a paper from Huangzhou. The content was about a kind of
A physical phenomenon called damping. I wanted to publish it at that time, but the editing was already completed and I really couldn’t make room for it..."
All the scholars present had read that paper, and many people suspected that Nie Qi was playing tricks.
But so what if I doubt it?
By pressing the papers, they actually got the results first.
Moreover, the reason for suppressing the paper was very formal. It was received after the deadline and there was no room for publication.
Only Chairman Geng and his cronies in the audience were livid at this moment. Their group had been fighting openly and secretly with Nie Qi.
Chairman Geng raised his hand to express his dissatisfaction: "During cross-review, why did you send it to me so late?" Nie Qi explained: "When I first received the damping paper, I just thought it was interesting and didn't pay much attention to it. Otherwise, I would have made room for such an important paper to be published in the previous issue. Until more than a month ago, Xiao Sun
Suddenly he came to me and said that air damping could be used to enhance the stability of the balance. With an attitude of careful verification, I did many experiments and finally became convinced, so I hurriedly submitted the paper to President Geng for review."
This explanation may seem reasonable, but it is actually a slap in President Geng’s face.
Many scholars who were not involved in the fight between the two factions were all laughing and watching the fun.
President Geng was so angry that he slammed the table: "The author of the paper clearly stated that the damping phenomenon can be applied to trains and ships. You actually said that you did not pay attention to such an important discovery at first? I very much question your academic level. You
You have no right to sit in that seat!"
Nie Qi used retreat to make progress: "I am indeed a dull person. When I was studying in Taixue, I was promoted from the outer house to the inner house, and then from the inner house to the upper house. I could never keep up with the learning progress of my classmates. But
Stupid people also have stupid ways, others
I spent ten days studying hard for what I could learn in one day. With the blessing of Taizu, I finally graduated from Taixue. Over the years, I also used stupid methods and luckily achieved some results. Of course, they are not as good as Geng, who was born as a child prodigy.
President."
This was said with a level of skill, and it was done on the spot, and it was so direct that people were impressed.
President Geng was sitting below, his lungs about to burst with anger. But he still wanted to know the effect of the damping balance, so he could only stay here and be laughed at.
"Now, let's do a simple experiment."
Sun Sanyi took out the experimental equipment that he had prepared. They were two sets of hollow cuboids built with wooden strips. One set had a hanging pendulum, and the other set had nothing.
"Let's get started." Nie Qi said.
He and Sun Sanyi worked together to shake the table. As the shaking became stronger, a group of hollow cuboids with wooden frames shook violently, and were eventually shaken to one side and fell on the spot. The other group added a pendulum, but it was able to stand up despite the shaking.
Don't fall.
Nie Qi said: "This is the damping phenomenon. The paper from Huangzhou has made it very clear. You can imagine that if it is a seagoing ship that is experiencing a storm, would it be less likely to capsize if a damper is added?
?”
People nodded one after another, thinking that this thing has a wide range of applications.
Of course, if you want to make various dampers, you cannot simply hang a pendulum. Especially for sea-going ships, the structure of the damper must be very complicated, and it may take a group of people to study it for several years.
But for scholars, they are not afraid of complexity and difficulty, but they are afraid of having no goals and direction.
The more difficult it is, the more funding you can apply for, and the more people can produce results!
Nie Qi pointed to the ultra-long-arm balance he invented: "Everyone knows that the higher the weight of the balance, the more sensitive it is when weighing. But if it is too high, it will shake unsteadily and make it difficult to measure. The air damper can make it difficult to measure.
It stabilizes quickly. The same goes for increasing the arm length. I don’t brag about how much accuracy has been improved. Friends present can come up and verify it themselves.”
As soon as he finished speaking, people from the first few rows rushed forward.
There are too many people, so those sitting at the back can only wait patiently.
Wei Renfu, vice president of the Chemical Society, did not move even though he was sitting in the front row. Instead, he turned around and asked the young scholar behind him: "Have we also received papers from Huangzhou?"
A young scholar named Cao An, it was he who wrote letters everywhere to promote molecular theory: "There is an article "Molecular Theory" sent from Huangzhou, and the author is also named Xie Yan. I have rejected that paper according to the teacher's wishes. Cross
After review, the paper still failed, and a rejection letter was sent to this person.”
Wei Renfu was silent for more than ten seconds and suddenly asked: "What do you think of that paper?"
"Some contents seem to make sense, and some contents are completely contrary to common sense." Cao An answered ambiguously.
Although Wei Renfu was a little worried, he still firmly believed that he was right: "We will also make a damping balance. Things that could not be verified before may be solved by experiments in the future. Huang Zhoulai's paper should be published by him.
Well, after all, it’s just a theoretical conjecture, and if it’s wrong, it’s still considered a train of thought… He discovered the damping phenomenon, so he’s no longer an unknown person.”
He is not an unknown person, so he cannot withdraw the paper at will.
Although Wei Renfu is the Big Dipper in the chemistry world, he does not yet have the power to dominate the world. Xie Yan is just not famous. Now that he has produced important results, it is easy to do bad things if he arbitrarily withdraws his paper.
Groups of scholars came up to the stage to experience the damping balance.
When they came down, they all had excited expressions. Many experiments that are limited by technology can be done with damping balances in the future!
Zhu Yuqing, the president of the Royal Society of the Ming Dynasty, is an old man who is almost eighty years old and usually lives in the suburbs of Luoyang to take care of himself.
He also came to join in the fun today. After everyone had finished playing with the scales, someone helped him up and said: "You young people, who can get a damper for the carriage first? The shock-absorbing spring is not useful at all. I
He is old and his bones cannot stand the bumps, so this time he was carried by servants."
Everyone laughed immediately.
On the spot, a scholar expressed his willingness to develop a carriage damper for the old president.
Zhu Yuqing added: "Tianping has made a breakthrough, which is a major event in the academic world. I have decided to initiate an academic conference to be held in Luoyang early next summer and invite major members from across the country to participate. Xie Yan from Huangzhou Prefecture will also give him a
invite."
Nie Qi said: "Senior, the student has already written to invite Xie Yan to join the society. Although the damping phenomenon is simple and common, it can derive a lot of academic results. Should we give him a junior membership, or... raise him one or two levels as appropriate?"
Nie Qi is still playing tricks to make Xie Yan be grateful to him.
Zhu Yuqing thought for a while and said: "It is more appropriate to raise him by two levels. If he is raised by only one level, it does not match his contribution. If he is raised by three levels, he will inevitably offend many peers."
"The old man is thoughtful and thoughtful, and the students admire him very much!" Nie Qi quickly flattered him.
