I Have a Research Support System

After finishing the interviews for prospective doctoral students, Xu Qiu returned to 216 and continued to write the draft of the "Science" article.

At the level of the top academic journals such as "Nature" and "Science", their positioning and other academic journals have actually deviated to a certain extent.

On the one hand, the importance of the work must of course be top-notch, and it must be a major discovery, or a major breakthrough in a certain field, or an interpretation of a major international event, etc.

But on the other hand, the articles published in "Nature" or "Science" also serve to push these major breakthroughs, major discoveries, and interpretations of major international events to all scientific researchers, even outside the scientific research circle. ordinary people, rather than just enclosing themselves in their own subdivided fields.

In other words, articles published in Nature or Science will have a significantly wider audience.

This requires the author to be "interesting" and "easy to understand" in terms of language, text and graphics without compromising the rigor of the argument, and lower the reading threshold for readers in non-related fields.

In other words, the expression of the article should be able to be understood by ordinary people, even those who are not so familiar with this field.

This is why when Xu Qiu searched the homepage of "Science" before, the few cover articles he saw seemed not so "scientific".

Perhaps their authors could have written very "academic", but deliberately chose to do so in order to make it easy for people in other fields to understand.

Even if these cover articles have nothing to do with Xu Qiu's research field, he can basically know what the other party is talking about by glancing at the title, picture and abstract.

But if you go to AM's article and encounter a job in a relatively unfamiliar field, you may not even understand the abstract or even the title.

In fact, this is a common phenomenon.

For a thing, the attributes of its main audience largely determine its apparent attributes.

In addition to the scientific research circle, there are corresponding reflections in all walks of life.

For example, the best-selling books are most likely to be easy-to-understand books, books that are not too difficult to read, that is, traditional literature continues to decline, while popular literature remains strong.

This is because in the current society, the material is not very rich, and the productivity is not strong enough, so it is still in a state of insufficient resources, and it is impossible for everyone to be promoted to the "elite".

It shows that the minority is "elite" and the majority is "ordinary people".

Because most people are ordinary people, they don't understand things that are too "sunshine and snowy", and they don't want to spend extra energy on them. Reading is just for entertainment. Naturally, they will read whatever makes them feel comfortable.

If the control is released, the popularity of Liu Beiwen will definitely not be low, because basically everyone can understand it as long as they can read, and it is easy to get pleasure from it. Even minors who have no concept of sex can watch it. flushed.

This is why many Liu Beiwens have been bred in the early stages of development of online literature.

However, because there is no grading system in China, based on the protection of minors, coupled with the idea of ​​​​governing the country to combat pornography, gambling and drugs, after the next few waves of net cleaning, Liu Beiwen is almost 404.

Now, the non-head and bottom web articles that play pornography are also easy to be harmonized.

Although the development path of the game industry is not the same as that of popular literature represented by online literature, the principles are common.

Taking MOBA games as an example, Chenghai 3C and DOTA at the beginning were very difficult to get started. Chenghai 3C needs to control multiple heroes, and DOTA needs positive and negative replenishment.

Later, LOL was born, and the setting of denying was canceled, which reduced the proportion of income generated by the game operation of making up in the game, and the difficulty of getting started was significantly reduced, and many users who belonged to DOTA were taken away;

Later, when it developed to the mobile terminal, the emergence of the king further simplified the operation. Not only did there not be any denials, but even the positive supplements were almost cancelled. As long as you stand by the side, you will have economy and experience, but you will get more benefits if you die as a soldier.

The evolution process of the game industry corresponds to changes in the composition of Internet users, and is also a long-term mutual selection and game process between game manufacturers and user groups.

In the early days, most of the people who entered the Internet were "elites". They could support more hardcore games, and they themselves also had a demand for hardcore games.

But later, with the continuous influx of "ordinary people", the number and proportion of "elites" continued to decrease.

"Ordinary people" can't play too hard-core games, and they don't want to spend too much time exploring before playing games.

For example, before playing DOTA, it is necessary to practice the basic skills of last attack for several months, which is difficult for many people to accept.

They just want to take it easy, and they need games that they can play right away.

When the number of such people is increasing, it has developed to the present, showing the popularity of on-hook mobile games and simple mindless mobile games.

In this way, the threshold of the game can be lowered to the greatest extent, so that "primary school students" can easily get started.

Including the ELO mechanism in some MOBA games, it is also to take care of the vast majority of "ordinary people" and reduce the gap between "ordinary people" and "elites". .

After all, the capital behind the manufacturers is profit-seeking. What games have the most users and make the most money, and how to effectively retain users, they will develop in that direction.

As for the voices of the "elites" who have been reduced to a minority group, they are not so important.

Therefore, when people read a lot of Xiaobaiwen and play a lot of brainless recharge in-app purchase games, they may have doubts:

Why are the writers always repeating the same routine, why are the games that come out are similar, without any new ideas, why can't we try to change it?

In fact, the reason is very simple. It's not that they don't want to change, but that most people are "ordinary people" and they like it.

When this question is asked, these people have been promoted to "elite" and are no longer the target user group of manufacturers or authors.

So, at this stage, when almost 99% of the audience from all walks of life are "ordinary people", is the opinion of a small number of 1% "elites" important?

Important, but this part of the group cannot change the general trend of the entire field.

Unless changes are made at the root, that is to allow more and more "ordinary people" to evolve in the direction of "elites".

But it takes time, a long time.

At this stage, going against the market is a road full of thorns.

Therefore, for this "Science" article, Xu Qiu should try his best to write his work as "easy to understand" as possible, and need to spend more time on language polishing.

At half past nine in the evening, Caiyi 218 was still lit.

On the 216 side, Han Jiaying left around 8:50. The bathroom for their undergraduates closed earlier, so they needed to rush back to take a shower.

Duan Yun and Chen Wanqing also left more than half an hour earlier and disappeared.

Although Tian Qing didn't leave early, at about 8:30, after she finished the PPT of the group meeting, she started chasing after the drama.

Sun Wo is still in the inner laboratory, preparing a perovskite solution.

Mo Wenlin prepared a batch of devices with the new PCBM today, and now the evaporation has just been completed, and the devices are being tested.

Xu Qiu and Wu Feifei were coding, respectively writing "Science" articles and then reviewing the proposal.

Wu Shengnan was reading the literature Xu Qiu gave her.

After a while, Mo Wenlin suddenly exclaimed: "I broke through, I broke through!"

Xu Qiu sent a message across the air: "What breakthrough?"

Mo Wenlin said excitedly: "Efficiency, I'm finally doing better than you. This batch achieved 15.55%!"

"...Come on." Xu Qiu said again from the air, without the desire to get up and take a look, and muttered in his heart: "Looking at her excited look, those who don't know think she has broken through 16%. Actually That's an increase of 0.2%...Maybe she took me as a target and was screaming secretly?"

However, this result also shows that the previous PCBM did have certain problems.

Thinking of this, Xu Qiu asked the simulation laboratory to use a new PCBM. After all, the PCBM used in the simulation laboratory was half-new and not new, but it was better than the PCBM in reality.

Now the highest efficiency is still stuck at 15.91%. Maybe replacing the PCBM with a new one can break through 16% in one fell swoop. Even if it can’t be repeated temporarily in reality, but it can break 16%, and I feel more at ease in my heart.

Moreover, the materials used on both sides are consistent, and it is relatively easy to compare data.

Monday, group meeting.

The perovskite team first reported that they are currently working in two directions, one is a two-dimensional perovskite stack device, and the other is a tin-based two-dimensional perovskite device.

The performance growth rate of stacked devices has slowed down significantly. Last week, there were also three batches of devices, and the efficiency increased from 10.1% last week to 10.3%, an increase of only 0.2%.

Wu Feifei is going to start organizing articles according to the existing data, and plans to try to vote for CM.

For the tin-based two-dimensional perovskite system, Wu Feifei started to work again and began to write a review proposal, planning to invest in ACSEL.

Because it is a plan, the text is relatively small, and she only needs to list her own plan, so she writes relatively quickly, and she has completed 80% of it so far.

In terms of tin-based two-dimensional perovskite experiments, Wu Feifei’s purchased medicines have arrived. She asked Sun Wo to refer to the work published by the domestic team in Science and follow the tin-based two-dimensional perovskite system reported by the other party. to repeat.

But the current effect is not very good, and the coated film is not uniform. After trying to prepare a device, the efficiency is only 0.00001%.

However, she did not ask Sun Wo to report this data, but only said at the group meeting: "The device is not working yet."

After hearing the report, Wei Xingsi asked, "What's the reason?"

"Maybe it's @\u0026#@..." Wu Feifei confused the past with a few possible reasons. She also wanted to know the reason in her heart, but she really didn't know.

In this case, there is a high probability that it is not the team that published "Science" that falsified, but their own "cooking", so they can only slowly explore the conditions.

Wei Xingsi didn't ask. He used to be a front-line experimenter, and he was actually quite tolerant of experiment failures.

Even in the early days when Wei Xingsi had just returned to China and was very eager for scientific research results, he asked Chen Wanqing and Duan Yun to start a project. If they failed in their initial attempts, he would give them half a month, a month, or two months to continue. try.

Or when their first project is not going well, give them another direction and let them carry out two projects at the same time, that is, "walking on two legs".

But if two or three months pass and there is still no result, Wei Xingsi will say: "I'm sorry, I'm going to transform into Wei Xingsi, the Great Demon King."

Then turn on the high-pressure mode, and this state will not be lifted until there are results.

It is said that both Chen Wanqing and Duan Yun were tortured by Wei Xingsi, the Great Demon King, so they have a very big shadow on Wei Xingsi.

However, Xu Qiu turned on the unparalleled mode as soon as he joined the research group. So far, although he has encountered some setbacks in the experiment, the overall progress of the experiment is as good as being on a rocket, so he has never seen Wei Da. Demon Lord Xingsi's appearance.

In fact, because of Xu Qiu's appearance, Wei Xingsi's form was rarely revealed to the rest of the group.

It's very simple, as long as Wei Xingsi catches Xu Qiu alone, he will have enough scientific research results.

As long as other people's paddling is not too obvious, he doesn't need to worry about it.

In the second half of this semester, Duan Yun was a little "floating" because he had three offers.

Some companies did not even invite interviews, leading to a very embarrassing situation:

The school's autumn recruitment has ended, and now he has to wait for the spring recruitment, or go to Warwick, or go to the start-up company in Shanghai, or go back to his hometown of Taicheng Vocational and Technical College.

Moreover, now that Warwick's offer is about to expire, there is not much time left for him to choose.

Of course, there are 3 good offers to choose from, which has surpassed most doctoral graduates.

However, life is like this, some people are entangled that there is no way ahead of me, some people are entangled that there are too many roads ahead of me, how to weigh the pros and cons.

When Xu Qiu was on the Internet, he could often see people struggling: "Should I go to Qingbei University, or should I go abroad to a certain Ivy League school?"

Sometimes it’s not that they are in Versailles, but they are really struggling. It’s just that people who have no similar experience can’t understand or empathize.

On some key choices, for most people, if they miss it, there is no chance to start over.

Especially in the current era of comprehensive introversion, every time you make a wrong choice, some points will be deducted from your personal evaluation.

When the points are almost deducted, then you will find that you can't beat others.

At this time, you can choose to settle for the next best thing, or continue to accumulate strength and wait for a counterattack.

Of course, you can also choose to lie flat, provided that you can withstand the pressure of "home".

After all, the speed of social iteration is too fast now, maybe twenty years later, the overall atmosphere will become the model of all employees lying flat?

It's just that this kind of thing, no one can say for sure, and it's hard to predict.

For example, Qiandu and Hangcheng Baba, from their rise to the peak, and now they are slowly descending from the altar, it feels like a long time has passed, but in fact it is only more than ten years.

Their former dominance in the business has been shaken.

Qiandu’s PC-side search business has companies such as Bytejitter catching up from behind, and many people use the short video platform as a search engine;

The e-commerce business of Hangcheng Baba is gradually being eroded by companies such as Bingxixi. After all, the main group in China is ordinary people, and the demand for low-priced goods is very large.

Of course, Qiandu and Hangcheng Baba did not sit still.

Although the original business was damaged, they are also actively seeking new outlets, such as choosing artificial intelligence and cloud business.

If a breakthrough can be made, perhaps another decade of glory can be achieved.

If you can't make a breakthrough, you can only watch yourself slowly turn into a dry bone and be eaten by other companies.

Tian Qing's ACSAMI article "Study on the charge transport mechanism of non-fullerene system with linear change of three HOMO energy level differences" has been written and submitted.

She also wanted to start a new research work, so after she submitted the article last Friday, she asked Xu Qiu for a direction: "Research on charge transport related to stacked devices".

In fact, there are not many studies in this direction, because the structure of stacked devices is relatively complex, and there are too many variables, which is not conducive to analysis.

But things like mechanism are essentially storytelling. If the story is well told and can convince or confuse editors or reviewers, then the article can be published.

And this direction is also in line with Xu Qiu's work on "Science". If the story is told well, it might be possible to publish an article with more than NC.

To put it bluntly, it's just rubbing hot spots.

This phenomenon is not uncommon in academic circles.

Someone posted a CNS on the front foot, such as reporting that "graphene exhibits certain unique properties under certain critical conditions".

The research group engaged in physics started to focus on this new phenomenon, using the instruments in their own laboratories to test it, catch a wave of hot spots, boast a wave of awesomeness, and sometimes even get to an article in "Nature" journal.

Similarly, the same goes for the online literature circle. After "The Lord of Girlfriends" came out of the circle, a lot of Cthulhu-style novels followed suit;

The same is true in the game industry. After the chicken game came out, Goose Factory, Pig Factory, and some little-known small companies started mobile games one after another. Even the top companies even played Gu Yang, and their own companies engaged in dozens of jobs. Office, simultaneous development, and then the first developed ones that meet the standards will go online.

Once online, there are two or three online, continue to PK, PK wins occupy most of the resources and push, and PK fails, you can only wait for the service to be stopped slowly.

There is nothing new under the sun, and many principles are common to all walks of life.

Chen Wanqing did not report, the team will paddle +1.

There is not much progress on the Blue River side. Developing a new instrument is a very long process. Sometimes a technical problem may take a month or even longer.

Xu Qiu didn't report either, and the team will paddle +2.

Last week he was mostly writing Science articles.

Han Jiaying's article on H5 donor materials has been written and successfully submitted to the target journal JMCA.

In addition, for the work of PTQ1, the light source data has been obtained, and the data is complete, just enough to seamlessly connect and write new articles.

She discussed with Xu Qiu and Wei Xingsi, and finally chose AM between AM and NC.

There is no way, NC is too expensive, and now there are all major sub-journals of "Nature" in the group, and there is no need for NC to improve their influence, and cheaper journals are better.

This is probably the reason why there are not many NCs in the field of organic photovoltaics.

The bosses are too expensive and unwilling to post it, and ordinary researchers want to post it, but they can’t. The final result is that there are fewer NCs.

However, as a comprehensive journal, NC can eat manuscripts in all fields, not bad in the field of organic photovoltaics, and can easily receive 5000+ manuscripts every year.

Wu Shengnan's outstanding youth fund has been completed. The COi8DFIC and other materials she helped Xu Qiu synthesized have been completed, and her own FOIC materials have also been synthesized.

Now I start to instruct two undergraduates to prepare semi-transparent devices, but the two undergraduates have been here relatively infrequently recently, and they can only prepare two batches of devices a week.

Last week, she knew that she was the third author of Xu Qiu's proposed article for "Science", so she didn't say much.

It was just on a dark and stormy night that she proposed to Xu Qiu that she wanted to work on the Y series receptors.

Xu Qiu thought about it for a while at the time, and speculated that Wu Shengnan must also have seen the lack of stamina of the ITIC series and wanted to seek more room for development.

Therefore, Xu Qiu didn't stop the post-doctoral senior sister, after all, the other party helped him a lot, so he temporarily entrusted her with the exploration of the Y series receptors.

The main reason is that 15% of the Y-series receptors have not yet appeared in the simulation laboratory. Xu Qiu does not pay as much attention to this work as stacked devices.

Let her explore freely. If she can break through 15%, that's her skill. If she can't break through, then she can only obediently wait for him to overcome the difficulty.

However, in exchange, Wu Shengnan needs to help Xu Qiu do experiments for the first-generation Y series work that Xu Qiu has developed, and at the same time only takes up the second part of the article.

Because Mo Wenlin helped Xu Qiu make devices last week, the writing progress of the work based on the J2:PCE10:IEICO-4F system has only advanced a little bit, reaching 85% of the progress, and the target journal is AFM.

It was another paddling group meeting, which ended soon.

According to Xu Qiu's observation, this kind of phenomenon is likely to occur in group meetings that are close to the holiday.

He guessed that, on the one hand, it has something to do with the fact that most people have exams to review, which squeezes the time for scientific research.

On the other hand, it may be because fatigue will accumulate, and you may not be able to rest during the usual weekends. Now you are doing 996 for scientific research. The more fatigue you accumulate in the later stages, the worse your work status will be.

Only after a vacation conditioning can you fully recover.

To some extent, there is still some truth in the winter and summer vacations for students.

Middle school students generally live a life of over 996. If there is no holiday, it is easy to waste it.

PS: I just noticed that there is a double monthly ticket event at the end of this month, which is a bit of a mistake...

PS2: The update was too intense a few days ago, so I need to take a rest for a few days, first maintain 6000+ updates, and continue to explode in April!

PS3: Because of this type of text, it is difficult to pass the word count through dialogue, so the writing is very slow. Writing 1,000 words in an hour is the limit. If you have to write for 10 hours without a break, it is still very tiring.
