Cheng Jinzhou had a clear idea of ​​what kind of journal he wanted.

First, he will track the hottest issues, which is currently calculus. Second, he will choose correct articles and controversial articles step by step.

For him, the only problem is how to get a complete article - writing it by himself is not possible. Many people will say, such a simple question, how can a doctoral student in the 21st century not write a scientific paper from the 17th century. So think back, there are a few people who can completely explain to primary school students on a piece of paper: why one plus one equals two, why one multiplied by one equals one, and why four divided by two equals two. Most people can't do it, let alone a young doctor like Cheng Jinzhou who relies on his father to get ahead.

Fortunately, Cheng Jinzhou still had the Star Alliance to rely on. The first batch of 80 tons of grain was sold to his current customer service comrades as fourth-grade real rice. He only received more than 10,000 star yuan, but the real rice after that became become more expensive. Because Cheng Jinzhou selected a large number of people to effectively separate them - just like ordinary rice winnowing, the appropriate wind blows up the real rice, and they will naturally separate according to their own quality. Among them, the highest density is the first-grade real rice. rice, the lightest is the fourth-grade real rice. The proportion is usually determined according to the year. The better the vintage, the less the first-grade real rice. This is different from regular rice.

Lord Fo did not expect that Cheng Jinzhou's harvest would arrive in batches. He stared with wide eyes as he watched Cheng Jinzhou selling piles of real rice, and the grade of the real rice was getting higher and higher. He saw the number on the contract form. The quantity was gradually satisfied, and he was really shocked and said: "So much real rice can be grown in the area you represent? Can real rice be grown in large quantities? You have planted so much."

His continuous questions made Cheng Jinzhou slightly troubled, but he also felt vaguely refreshed.

"I can help you move the time closer to 200 years. From the 16th century to the 18th century, earth's technology is like this. The white people are not sure, and Europe may have difficulties." Although Buddha said that it was not good, he was actually so easy to talk to. , as if he had become a different person.

Cheng Jinzhou smiled and didn't answer, just waiting for the book to appear on the platform. He somewhat enjoyed the harmonious tone of customer service. It is true that capitalists say that customers are God. If God feels comfortable, he will really go crazy.

Xiao Cheng bought 500 books in one go. Each book has between 10,000 and 30,000 words, which is the common word count for scientific papers and can effectively increase Star Alliance points.

He picked one book after another, and if the content of the book had nothing to do with mathematics, he would put it aside first.

Buddha asked diligently: "Three books with 40,000 words, are you sure?"

If it were in the past, he would have kept the books, packaged them up and sold them, and then left them alone. Now he is much more diligent. For him, real rice is not simply four times the price of ordinary rice.

Cheng Jinzhou smiled and nodded to confirm, and then read the name: ""New Solid Geometry for Measuring Wine Barrels"..."

Halfway through reading, he sat up.

Everyone who knows calculus knows this story. The businessman in the winery wanted to know how much his wine barrel could hold, so he asked the mathematician Kepler for help. So he regarded the wine barrel as countless small pieces of wood. composition, and then integrate to obtain its volume.

The story is just an introduction, but it describes important content in the early days of calculus.

In fact, the names that Cheng Jinzhou could remember were all masterpieces of that era. Otherwise, it will not be remembered for a long time.

Dr. Cheng's expression did not change much, but his movements were cautious. He first opened the memory array to memorize it on the paper, and then praised: "Good stuff. Lord Buddha, let's continue."

To complete a journal, at least a dozen articles are needed. In addition to quality, it also requires quantitative support. In the initial period of publication, the support of reputation is even more needed.

The issuance of new journals in modern society is generally accomplished by relying on powerful research institutions, such as universities. In China, there is a clear example. The better the university, the better their journals. The good mentioned here is not a simple praise, but a judgment supported by actual basis, which is usually the most popular influence factor among scholars.

Buddha smiled and continued: "Four books, 56,000 words, are you sure?"

"Sure."

…

The conversion speed of the memory star array is not fast. Cheng Jinzhou lives next to the dock and becomes busy.

The advantage of the county magistrate is that he has the final say in everything within the entire county. He can move people in and out, modify records at will, and set up restricted areas.

Cheng Jinzhou didn't want people to know about the transactions of bulk items, so it would be difficult for others to find out. Unlike when he was in Xia Jing, he always had to hide his worries.

From 150,000 acres of land, the average output of real rice is 300 kilograms, totaling 45,000 tons, which can feed a small county for a year. If sold to the Star Alliance, it can be exchanged for nearly 10 million star dollars. It is conceivable that if all of them are sold to the Star Warlock - assuming that they can all be sold, the silver money obtained can definitely be exchanged for more than 10 million Star Yuan supplies. But look at the current attitude of customer service, and think about the attitude of Ys in the past.

Cheng Jinzhou did not hesitate to throw 10,000 tons of real rice to Buddha. While completing the contract, the nose that made the latter smile was not his nose and his eyes were not his eyes.

As for the remaining 35,000 tons, Dr. Cheng Da is not so anxious. Anyway, it doesn’t cost much to buy some books in small quantities.

Within a few days, printing workers started working near the dock. Shi Yan and others prepared the layout and were waiting for printing.

On the other hand, Cheng Jinzhou notified the Holy Church in Nanling and made an appointment for the use of the communication star array. Obviously, he was preparing to send the contents of the journal to Xia Jing. According to the rules, if Xia Jing passes the review, the contents will be sent to other places.

If it fails to pass the review, if a journal wants to be distributed to other countries, it usually has to take the ordinary route, which often takes an appallingly long time. Often, you may see a reference to another article before you see the original.

Yan Yu, the first-class star warlock specially invited by Cheng Jinzhou, was very unoptimistic about the prospects of the journal. He just couldn't save his face and came to the printing factory at the dock.

Also invited was Warlock Li Xianfengxing. She read many of Cheng Jinzhou's articles, but she didn't think he could create a journal, so after entering the door, she said in a positive tone: "One person cannot support a journal. If you are prepared to develop slowly, at least It will take thirty to fifty years, but water from afar will not quench the thirst of the nearer.”

As a fourth-level star warlock, Yan Yu guessed who she was even though she was covered with a black veil and had already hid in her.

Cheng Jinzhou didn't care about Li Xianfeng's tone. He took out three slightly revised articles, put them on the table and said, "Aren't you going to read the articles I prepared?"

The first is "New Solid Geometry of Measuring Wine Barrels", followed by "The Geometry of Continuous Indivisibles Facilitated by New Methods", and finally "The Development of Arguments for Indivisibles".

Of the three articles, the content of the first article is much shallower, and may not even exceed the research of Warlock Jiang Huangxing. But the next two articles are in the same vein as the "Theory of Indivisibles" written by Cheng Jinzhou before. Cavalieri, a mathematician from Italy, is closer to the universal method of quadrature... For the astrologers, it is a More suitable for realistic calculation methods.

Li Xianfeng saw that Cheng Jinzhou only took out three articles, spread them out with his fingers and laid them on the table, saying: "Looking at you have been at the dock for more than ten days, everyone thought you could produce many things. Three articles is indeed a lot." , but to fill a journal..."

She shook her head as she spoke, and looked through it. After a while, she looked deeply into it, but she stood still.

Yan Yu gave the fourth-level star warlock a strange look, smiled modestly at Cheng Jinzhou, and picked up another article "Continuous Indivisible Geometry Promoted by New Methods".

There was an eerie silence in the room.

Compared with the previous articles written by Cheng Jinzhou, the two current articles are more like writings that connect the past and the future.

For gentlemen who have just begun to study calculus, the most important thing is the calculation process. Although Jiang Huang and others have elaborated the concept of calculus, the research on its calculation has only just begun. However, if the astrologers want to apply calculus, they must ultimately come down to calculation.

It is not difficult to imagine that whoever determines the universal calculation method of calculus first will be able to take the absolute initiative.

Cheng Jinzhou made himself a cup of tea, lay back on a chair, and waited for the two of them to finish reading the article.

After Li Xianfeng finished reading one, he immediately picked up another. After reading it for a while, he let out a long sigh and said, "You want everyone to read your journal, right?"

It is clear that the calculation method does not necessarily lead to contribution points. Because except for the beginning, when everyone used this calculation method and needed to quote and explain, later people only needed to calculate, just like people used the four arithmetic operations, but did not explain the methods and principles of the four arithmetic operations. .

But anyone who wants to do calculations with calculus will want a more general way of doing calculations. Astromancers also need to learn. If they want to learn how to calculate using calculus as soon as possible, they need to read journals that record the latest calculation methods.

Cheng Jinzhou said with a sincere smile: "I thought of a word, competition for eyeballs. Which journal gets more eyeballs will get everyone's attention."

"Competing for eyeballs." Li Xianfeng had to admit: "If your next journal can have similar effects, I will buy it too."

Cheng Jinzhou didn't appreciate it and said without courtesy: "You have forgotten something more important. Which article do you think can surpass my three articles now?"

The room suddenly became cold.

Yan Yu quietly put down the paper he couldn't understand, and hid behind with a headache, thinking in his heart: Don't hurt the small tree when bison fight.

Li Xianfeng blushed when outsiders were present, and her previous smile disappeared without a trace. Fortunately, no one can see her through the veil.

Whether an article is good or bad is a very real thing, especially for something like a thesis, and she has no way to refute it even if she wants to.

Cheng Jinzhou deliberately waited for a minute before saying: "Then according to our bet, in the next 10 years, I will be the first to choose your articles. Only if I don't want them, you can publish them in other journals."

Li Xianfeng bit her gums and said, "Okay."

"You'd better pray now that the next issue will have the same effect as this one."

Li Xianfeng's veil swayed twice and hummed: "Three articles and one more are not enough for one issue."

"I believe there will be many gentlemen who are willing to list their articles after these three." Cheng Jinzhou said with a faint smile: "Our trouble has turned to how to review the papers."

Li Xianfeng had to admit that three such high-level articles would definitely attract the attention of many ordinary star warlocks. Astromancers are all very smart people. There is no need to persuade them. Everyone has their own judgment and their own ability to seek good fortune and avoid misfortune.

Although he believed so, looking at Cheng Jinzhou's proud look, Li Xianfeng, who felt she had lost face, pinched her wrist and said bitterly: "Lunch time!"
