I Have a Research Support System

On Monday morning, Xu Qiu and Han Jiaying came to the southern district cafeteria to have breakfast together after morning exercise.

Xu Qiu's cell phone lit up, and there was a reminder of new information. He picked it up and took a look, and said, "It's Teacher Wei's email, the title is 'Fwd: Acceptance of your submission... (Forward: Your submission has been accepted... )', it is not displayed in the back, you have to click in to see it."

Han Jiaying took a sip of soy milk and guessed: "The news coming back at this time is probably the NC article."

Xu Qiu opened the text of the email and said with a smile, "You guessed it right, it's NC."

Han Jiaying also smiled happily, and said, "I just don't know how my EES is going."

"The results should be coming out soon, and it has been a month since the article was submitted, maybe the opinions will come back tomorrow." Xu Qiu said casually.

Then, he began to carefully check the text of the email, and relayed it to the school girl:

"After the last major revision of the article, the manuscript was returned to the original three reviewers, and now all three reviewers have agreed to publish the article. In the last review comments, the first and third reviewers Manuscript writers are easy to talk to, we are so serious about revisions, most of them will be approved by us, at that time, we were afraid that the second reviewer would not let go, so it depends on the attitude of the editor, and now everyone is happy in this situation.”

"Congratulations, senior brother, for adding an article in District 1, cough, cough..." Han Jiaying was choking on the words while drinking soy milk.

Xu Qiu hurriedly patted the junior girl's back, but he didn't dare to use force, because he knew that the method of "slapping the back while choking" was probably useless, but if he didn't do anything, he just stood there and watched , It's really embarrassing.

"Let me take a look at the email." The school girl quickly came over, took the phone, checked it, and said, "Mr. Wei is also very happy, it's 'Congratulations!' (Congratulations!) again, and it's 'Good job!' (Beautiful job!), hey, there is a new email, still from Teacher Wei."

"What?" Xu Qiu leaned over and found that the title was "Forward: Major scientific research achievements of all teachers in material system accounting".

After clicking to view the text, Xu Qiu understood that the Department of Materials Science and Technology recently planned to set up a new promotional column on the department's official website, and was currently soliciting major scientific research achievements in the past year from teachers in the department.

Wei Xingsi reported Xu Qiu's just-published NC, the previous AM, and Wu Feifei's EES review, and asked Xu Qiu to write a brief press release-like The Wenhuibao was submitted.

Articles at the level of AM, NC, and EES are also very impressive results in the entire Department of Materials Science and Technology, and the entire department may publish a few or a dozen articles each year.

Although there are more than 80 teachers in the Department of Materials, about half of them are relatively salty fish. There are no articles every year, and the results of the entire department are supported by the dozen or so people in the head.

After breakfast, Xu Qiu took a chance to go to the bathroom and entered the system space.

As expected, three articles, one district and one article were obtained, and the advanced task was completed.

[The advanced task has been completed, 10,000 points have been obtained, and the authority level is +1. 】

[The current permission level is level 6, and the simulation experiment system I and II have been upgraded. 】

[Enable the automatic point exchange system for SCI articles. Articles published as the first author/first corresponding author can be automatically exchanged for 500 points for every 1 impact factor, the second author/second corresponding author is attenuated to 1/2, and the third author / The third corresponding author decays to 1/4, and so on. 】

[A total of 62,281 converted points for historically published articles...]

[The point reward for weekly tasks has been increased to 2000 points/task. 】

[The main research direction of the detected host is: organic solar cells. 】

[Access to advanced tasks (choose one of three): To break the world record for photoelectric conversion efficiency in the field of organic solar cells, the increase needs to exceed 0.5%, (the current world record is 12.21%, the target value is 12.71%, and the current highest value of the host is 11.11%) ; Published 10 articles in SCI Region 1 as the first author/corresponding author (the host has published 3); published in any of "Nature", "Science" and "Cell" as the first author/first corresponding author Publish an article in a magazine. Task reward: 20000 points, permission level +1. 】

[Simulation Experiment System I (LV5):

It can scan the experimental equipment and consumables in a certain space, and completely simulate them in the system space. The host can conduct experiments in the simulated laboratory, consuming 100 credits per hour.

The current scannable space upper limit is 1,000,000 cubic meters.

The built-in acceleration function is turned on in the simulation laboratory, and the current open magnification is 1/16-16 times. When using this function, the consumption points are 100*magnification points per hour. 】

[Simulation Experiment System II (LV2):

The basic simulation function is equivalent to the simulation experiment system I, but the time flow rate is consistent with reality and cannot be accelerated.

The host is allowed to create 2 simulated experimenters whose various experimental skills are equivalent to the host itself, and can give experimental instructions to them.

Each simulated experimenter consumes 100 points per hour when executing the experimental instructions. 】

【Scientific Research Auxiliary System】

Privilege Level: 6

Points: 123,000

...

##

Xu Qiu took stock of the gains from this upgrade:

First of all, the points directly exceeded the 100,000 mark, and the function of automatically redeeming points for SCI papers was opened. After publishing an article like AM, about 10,000 points will be credited to the account, and there will be a fixed 6,000 points for completing tasks every week. After entering the account, you can use the simulation experiment system more liberally.

Secondly, a simulated experimenter was added to the simulation experiment system II, and the work efficiency was directly doubled. Although the point consumption was also doubled, but now there is no shortage of points, which is a great benefit to me.

Finally, there is a new advanced task, a task of choosing one of three, but the difficulty is really high.

The first task is not so easy to break the world record, let alone more than 0.5%, reaching close to 13%. PCE10 was developed about six years ago, and the world record is based on the PCE10:PC[70]BM system. This record has actually been maintained for three years without a breakthrough.

Xu Qiu estimated that most of the breakthroughs are in the field of non-fullerenes, but the current highest value in the field of non-fullerenes is only 10% of that in "Nature Materials", which is still far from 13%.

The second task is to publish another seven articles, one area and one work, I am afraid I will be exhausted...

Although the first corresponding author is also counted, but now that I haven't graduated with a Ph.D., I basically don't need to think about the first correspondent...

The third task is the most difficult. In "Nature", "Science", and "Cell", publishing a one-author article is much more difficult than publishing ten articles. Workers want to publish an article, including doing experiments, writing articles, reviewing manuscripts, and revising, and it takes an average of two years to prepare.

As far as Xu Qiu knows, the Department of Materials Science and Technology of Shanghai University of Science and Technology has published an article on "Nature" in recent years, which was published by Lin Qingchen's team.

Lin Qingchen is a "Yangtze River" scholar, known for his high-pressure PUSH. As a result, no one in our school chooses him, and all he recruits are students from other schools. This "Nature" work was done by a doctoral student under him. , started the project in the second year of Ph.D., and worked on this "Nature" for a total of two years, and finally postponed it for one year, and then stayed in the school as a postdoctoral fellow.

After much calculation, among the three tasks, it seems that breaking the record is the easiest to accomplish?

Easy... Easy with a hammer, it has held the world record for more than three years.

However, anyway, it is impossible to choose one of the three, so just follow the second task, grind slowly, and it will always be completed.

After complaining inwardly for a while, Xu Qiu came out of the bathroom, joined Han Jiaying, and headed to Caiyi.

At 9:40 in the morning, everyone gathered in Caiyi 218.

Wei Xingsi's improvement today seems to be very good. He scanned the crowd and said in an encouraging tone: "First of all, we congratulate Xu Qiu for publishing an NC. Everyone applauds."

The applause lasted for more than ten seconds, and gradually stopped. Wei Xingsi said again: "I didn't have time to prepare the cash this time, so I'll just transfer the bonus to you...Xu Qiu, three thousand yuan, you received it."

"Received." Xu Qiu glanced at the phone and responded. For some reason, he kind of missed the cash bonus he gave out before, and the heavy soft sister coins seemed to be more emotional.

"Xu Qiu, Wu Feifei, you have seen the email, the Chinese report of the three articles, get it to me as soon as possible." Teacher Wei instructed, and then said: "Let's start the group meeting, Wu Feifei, come here."

Wu Feifei stood up and reported that the article "2D Perovskite Photovoltaics Based on Isobutylamine Organic Spacer Layer" has been submitted, and the Sino-Swiss STINT project has temporarily come to an end. Wu Feifei planned the next experimental plan.

"My idea is to continue to make two-dimensional perovskite materials. I also refer to the structure in the literature. They use PEA, which is phenylethylamine. I plan to use p-diphenylethylamine to replace phenylethylamine. From a functional point of view In other words, one unit of p-diphenylethylamine can act as two units of phenylethylamine..."

Xu Qiu muttered directly below: "I feel that Wu Feifei is becoming more and more 'Chen Wan Qinghua'. She has been imitating the boss's work, but it seems to be quite effective. Sure enough, different fields and different periods require different strategies. different."

Duan Yun's experimental progress has stagnated like constipation. There are experimental data coming out, but there is no upward breakthrough.

Tian Qing is still writing the review, the progress is about 70% to 80%, and it is almost finished.

Chen Wanqing reported the device performance, based on the efficiency of the new system IDT-T(EH)-ICIN is 6.7%, and the efficiency of another IDT-T(6)-ICIN is 5.5%.

The senior sister only got the materials back from Zhangjiang on Saturday, and then directly made a batch of devices secretly while other people were away. Xu Qiu didn't copy the materials to the simulation laboratory for exploration at that time. The advanced task is completed today, and there is no shortage of points. , Xu Qiu helped the senior sister arrange performance optimization, and let the two simulation experimenters work at the same time.

Next is Xu Qiu. He will be defending tomorrow, so he rehearsed it again at the group meeting. This time he only talked about the introduction and the job of AM, and then jumped directly to the conclusion, and briefly explained the other three jobs. Tell me, take it with me.

This time Xu Qiu spoke at a normal speed, and the timing was just right, nine minutes and fifty seconds, which was perfect.

The characterization data of Han Jiaying's H1x system is complete, so she reported the synthesis plan for this week, H21 and H22, which are improved on the basis of the H1x molecule, and the side chain of the BDT unit introduces thiophene units and heteroatoms. oxygen. .

Wu Shengnan's perovskite quantum dot material has changed to a different system, and the preparation by hot injection method is not very smooth, so he decided to stop temporarily and concentrate on completing the work in the other two directions, that is, the overview of perovskite quantum dots and the two Electroluminescent color-changing materials.
