Cyber Heroes

"Yawgmoth Voigt." After making a phone call, Officer Xiao Hu looked at the data transmitted on the phone and frowned slightly: "This is a troublesome person."

"Troublesome person..." Xiangshan was a little surprised: "What kind of troublesome method?"

Officer Xiao Hu nodded: "Well... Since you and Mr. Voigt may have long-term contact in the future, I will tell you first - this Yawgmoth Voigt , is a supporter of the 'open access movement'..."

"Oh!" Xiangshan suddenly gave a high-five: "I'm a bit impressed. Professor Yawgmoth... looks a little younger than expected."

Officer Xiao Hu was very strange and asked with some vigilance: "Do you know this person?"

"I've seen the name." Xiang Shan said: "I scanned the relevant content in the open access library."

Officer Xiao Hu nodded, but he was still a little confused: "This guy is an expert in the field of genetics. He can't compete with you, right?"

"I saw this name when I glanced at it, and I was a little impressed. And my tutor has an interdisciplinary project with biology, so he will go to the thesis database in the field of biology to search for information." Xiangshan said embarrassedly, he was because of this name. It has the same name as the boss of a certain game I played, so I was impressed by it.

Director Xiao Hu nodded, "That's true. This guy is really awesome. He got a doctorate and a teaching position in his early twenties. He is a famous figure in the field of proteomics. From a professional point of view, he is indeed the most suitable person to come here." Scholar here. The technical department of the United States recommended him for this."

"However, when the NSA brought him here, the FBI submitted an emergency report, saying that they had long suspected that Professor Yawgmoth Voigt was an extremist supporter of the open access movement..."

Xiangshan was a little confused: "Is the open access movement a good thing?"

The open access movement is a movement launched by European and American circles in the early 1990s, aiming to free science from the control of copyright and publishers.

As we all know, to evaluate the "goodness" of a paper, we basically look at the "impact factor". To discuss the impact factor, we must first mention SCI (Science Citation Index). SCI is currently a relatively objective, fair and authoritative evaluation method that can be used to comment on the academic value of papers or journals.

If you evaluate a single paper, look at the number of citations the paper has received.

For example, when evaluating a journal, the total number of citations C of papers published in the journal in the first two years of a year is calculated. The total number of papers published in the past two years is P, and the impact factor IF=C/P. The larger the impact factor, the higher the value of the journal.

But the problem is that although these two methods can be called "objective", this "objective standard" itself is beneficial to the publishers of journals.

It is essentially a simple and crude advertisement.

Even this "evaluation system" itself is included in a company's "intellectual property rights" and "business".

The academic community has also been looking for a more powerful and fair evaluation system.

In the view of scholars like Xiang Shan, this can be said to be a great attempt.

"That's not the problem." Director Xiao Hu shook his head: "The FBI accused him of having contact with a hacker organization and suspected of stealing paid information from the university database without permission and uploading it to the Internet - just They don’t have evidence yet.”

"Oh, beat the local tyrants for points, righteous people... ah no, revolutionaries." Xiang Shan nodded approvingly: "Incredible."

Officer Xiao Hu was quite vigilant: "Comrade Xiang, what you said..."

"Don't worry, I just praise this kind of righteous deed and will not do it myself." Xiang Shan spread his hands and said: "I am not a fool. Only peace can lead to development."

"These extremists are self-proclaimed 'guerrillas in the Internet age', and they are afraid that the world will not be in chaos." Officer Xiao Hu said seriously.

"By the way, why did the United States send him here?" Xiang Shan was a little confused: "If he is really an extremist, I'm afraid he will upload the secrets of this park to the Internet and let everyone in the world know."

"The FBI only listed him as a suspect before." Director Xiao Hu said: "They were pulled in before they even reported it. In short, this person is still an opinion leader on campus and is said to have connections with environmental organizations. He’s a restless element.”

Xiang Shan nodded: "Why am I so angry? It turns out that I am writing and drawing outside, and it doesn't look like I am recording inspiration, so he treats me as a spy. This kind of person must hate 'monopolizing information' 'This kind of behavior, so I couldn't help but say a few words."

Thinking of this, the little bit of unhappiness in Xiangshan's heart disappeared. Anyway, he didn't suffer any real loss. Instead, he made the other party misunderstand his identity and made a small joke.

"Sigh. We really have to pay attention to the level of Professor Voigt. But we cannot fully agree with his behavior."

Officer Xiao Hu gave Xiang Shan a few more words about "discipline" and left in a hurry.

It seems that there is indeed a lot of government work now. Only scholars are relatively free.

Xiang Shan blew on the air conditioner in the room and read a book for a while. Remembering that it was time for dinner, he set off for the cafeteria.

The canteen is also a newly built building. All building material modules were shipped directly from overseas and completed within one day. The food inside is provided by the United States military, including roast chicken, steaks, mashed potatoes, bean soup, noodles, French fries, jelly, and provides coffee, juice and bread 24 hours a day.

The taste of this thing is not very good, but due to the strong food industry of the United States, the quality of the ingredients is good, and the cooking is as close to "popular taste" as possible, so if you don't like it, you can't say that you are disgusted. I asked Shan for some mashed potatoes and bread, and added some chicken and beef.

This canteen is a temporary building and there are not many seats. In addition, it is a peak hour. Xiangshan is carrying a plate, but he can't find a seat for a while.

"Xiao Xiang, here!" came a familiar voice. Xiang Shan looked up and saw Lao Liu waving to him. As he got closer, he realized that Lao Liu, Professor Zhang and Professor Jing were all sitting together and eating. Lao Liu and Jing Hongtu sat side by side, while Professor Zhang sat opposite Lao Liu.

Xiang Shan quickly sat opposite Jing Hongtu.

Professor Zhang shook his head and said with a smile: "I told you not to call him that. Young people don't want to eat with old men like us. Sitting here is too restrictive."

"Come on, I don't understand my students. They are all disrespectful." Old Liu looked at his most famous disciple and said, "Xiao Xiang, don't you think so?"

Xiangshan said modestly: "I love my teacher, and I love the truth even more."

"Hahaha." Lao Liu said with a smile: "That's the virtue. If you dare to sell goods from the dyeing shop for three points of color, will he feel restricted? As long as you don't have the authority to deduct his salary or funds, he will not dare to offend you."

After joking with Professor Zhang, Old Liu turned to Xiang Shan: "Speaking of it, Xiao Xiang. This is your first time in this tropical area, right? Are you used to it?"

"It's very hot. I feel like I'm going to suffer from heat stroke at any time." Xiang Shan shook his head: "The southernmost place I've ever been to is Jingchu... Oh, I must have been to a mountain city with my family when I was a kid. It wasn't even that hot, and there was nothing to eat. I’ve got an appetite.”

Professor Jing nodded: "Well, yes, if the weather is hot, you need to have dishes with strong flavors. It's not sour or spicy, which makes it difficult to whet your appetite. The food in Southeast Asia is very spicy. The chefs in the United States don't seem to have thought about this. "

Xiangshan dug out a ball of mashed potatoes with a spoon: "The peppery taste of this mashed potato is okay. I heard before that the United States warships provide ice cream..."

"Not now, but maybe in the future."

Due to acclimatization, neither Lao Liu nor Professor Zhang had very good appetites and did not take much food. When they came to Xiangshan, they had almost eaten. The two "primary" professors stood up and said, "Professor Jing, please take it easy. The two of us will go for a walk outside. Xiao Xiang, you too, eat more if you have an appetite, and be prepared for a long-term war of resistance."

After the two professors left, Xiangshan moved to the side without leaving a trace. He has a good relationship with Lao Liu and has met Professor Zhang a few times, but he only has a few words of friendship with Jing Hongtu, a member of the academic department. It's not good to be too casual with such an elderly person around.

Jing Hongtu held a piece of French fries and asked, "I heard that you had some minor friction with the scholars from the United States."

Hearing this, Xiang Shan put down his fork and said with a smile: "You are really well-informed. But I have to declare in advance that it is not that I have any friction with others, but that my friend from the United States has a little misunderstanding about my little hobby. "

Xiang Shan had to express his admiration for Jing Hongtu's connections and face. The conversation between him and Yawgmoth was probably known only to Director Hu and a few others, but he didn't expect it to reach Jing Hongtu. However, this misunderstanding still needs to be explained. After all, we will all be colleagues in the future. It would be bad if this incident left the impression that "this person is a thorn in the side".

After hearing Xiang Shan's explanation, Jing Hongtu nodded slightly: "Oh, writing science fiction novels... this is a good hobby."

Xiang Shan grinned: "I thought you would think that I was not doing my job properly. Old Liu... Although Teacher Liu didn't say it with his mouth, he still disagreed in his heart."

"Haha." Jing Hongtu swallowed the fries in his hand: "When I was young, I actually wanted to be a science fiction novelist. Have you heard of "Personal Smartphones: A Journey into the Future"? It was very popular when I was a kid. I should They were the first readers of that book.”

"PHS Travels in the Future" is a children's science fiction novel written by Ye Yonglie, a famous novelist, reportage writer, and popular science writer in the Republic of China in 1978. It tells the story of a young reporter who accidentally travels to the future.

Xiang Shan's eyes lit up: "Although I have heard about it, I have never read it..."

"To people of your generation, it may not mean much." Jing Hongtu said, "But for me, who was in primary school, it really opened a door."

Xiang Shan asked: "You said you also want to write novels, have you published any works?"

Jing Hongtu shook his head regretfully: "My family won't let me."

I've been in a very bad state for the past two days and I'm sorry for making everyone worried.

The second part of PY activity: "I am a monk in Shengui Liaozhai"

There are countless evil tribulations and boundless destruction.

The young man who traveled through time looked at this cruel world and chose to stand up instead of surrendering to it.

When the Buddha saw three thousand things broken, he saved his life and beheaded his sins.

Since demons and ghosts are rampant in this world and causing trouble in the world, then we must kill them!

Since the immortals and Buddhas in this world have no virtue and are arrogant and domineering, then they are not immortals and Buddhas and should be killed!

This is a young man's journey from joking to actually embarking on the path he joked about.
