Into Unscientific

"What? The external review editor replied so soon?"

In the office, Tian Liangwei put down the thermos cup in his hand, and looked at Xu Yun in surprise:

"It's only been a day, tsk tsk, Lao Mo is really loyal."

Looking at the little old man with the face of 'my friend is a cow' in front of him, Xu Yun couldn't help rolling his eyes slightly:

"Teacher, you are a crooked nut anyway. Is it appropriate to call you old Mo Lao Mo?"

"Why is it inappropriate? That guy lived in Sichuan Province for seven or eight years, and he knows how to play mahjong better than you?"

"."

Seeing that he had regained a victory in front of his apprentice, Tian Liangwei continued to ask:

"By the way, what was written in Lao Mo's reply? Is there anything that is troublesome or needs major changes?

He's a bit of a serious person, and if he doesn't keep it neat, he will pick out bones for you somewhere. "

Xu Yun shook his head when he heard the words, flipped out the email in the phone, and handed it to the teacher:

"No, Mr. Morton's tone is very kind. Apart from finding a few inappropriate footnotes, there are some more precise semantic deletions. I will try to send them back to him tomorrow after I finish the corrections."

As an external review editor for a top journal, there is no doubt about Morton's professionalism.

After reading Xu Yun's papers, he did not reply in a hurry, but patiently picked out a few, and then sent them back to Xu Yun's mailbox in a formal format.

This kind of behavior is not nothing to criticize, but the standard review process in the field of papers, which is commonly known as proofreading.

Locally, it is generally called the third trial and the third school, also known as the bald link.

The short one or two weeks, the long one can be with you for half a year or a year.

Of course.

This is also related to Xu Yun's first submission to a top biological journal.

After all, biology is not physics, and he hasn't fully figured out some ways, so it's normal for there to be mistakes.

For example, for some words in the early part of scientific research, he may not be able to accurately translate between Chinese and English, but Morton carefully circled these places.

Then Tian Liangwei stood up, walked to the window, and gently rubbed his shoulders:

"Well, if there are no major problems, you should be responsible for the Proof link, and I will urge them to publish after the external review is over.

The other is your patent issue. If there are no accidents, there should be a result within half a month. "

"I'll go, half a month?"

Hearing this time, a question mark appeared on Xu Yun's face visible to the naked eye:

"No. Teacher, how could it be so fast?"

Tian Liangwei glanced at him and said slowly:

"This time, with Principal Hou...or more personally, the principal will help, so the review time will naturally be faster."

Hearing Principal Hou's words, Xu Yun was taken aback for a moment, and then his pupils shrank!

Looking at the entire history of the University of Science and Technology, no matter before or after the southward relocation, there is one and only one dean surnamed Hou, and that is the current dean of the Academy of Sciences!

When it comes to Principal Hou, it is natural to mention another person first.

His surname is Zhu, and he is one of the longest-serving presidents of HKUST.

During his tenure as the principal, he performed countless miraculous operations, messing up the large situation left by President Tang, and he is known as the most stretched principal in the history of HKUST.

To some extent, the current antagonistic relationship between the volute and the fruit shell is largely due to him.

The most outrageous thing is that after he left office, he also promoted quantum Buddhism—yes, not quantum mechanics, but quantum Buddhism, claiming that meditation can form entangled states.

In those years, the University of Science and Technology was made into a mess, and the policy of shrinking was vigorously pursued. It had the name of University of Science and Technology, but it had no reality of University of Science and Technology.

And just after this person ruined HKUST and slapped his ass and left, HKUST ushered in a principal with the highest reputation since the 1990s, Hou Xingyuan.

Hou Xingyuan is a president who inherited the past and ushered in the future in the history of HKUST. What he took over was a mess filled with the atmosphere of the old era, but what he handed over was a modern university that had already caught up with the new era.

During his tenure, he continued to bridge the relationship with the Academy of Sciences, the local government and the Ministry of Education, and also reversed the discipline construction plan of abandoning engineering and mathematics and focusing on physics and chemistry, reducing the wrong policy of tossing around.

The salaries of faculty and staff have been improved, and a large number of strange project funds have been cut off - such as research on reincarnation and reincarnation, research on the ability of jellyfish to produce telepathy, etc.

It can be said this way:

Xu Yun’s generation of students is a generation that has witnessed the overall process of the University of Science and Technology from ruin to revival, and has witnessed what it means to turn the tide from the collapse and help the building to collapse.

Therefore, after Hou Xingyuan was transferred, many students had disagreements in private.

no way.

The imprint he left on HKUST students is too deep, and many people are already in his shape.

Later, Hou Xingyuan was promoted to the Academy of Sciences, and was successfully elected as the dean of the Academy of Sciences after the resignation of Academician Ding, who had hated someone like Chai, which can be regarded as an affirmation of his work.

Now that such a giant is speaking, there is naturally no delay in Xu Yun's patent application.

However, compared with the time of patent application, Xu Yun cares more about .

"Does the waiting school dean know about this?"

Tian Liangwei nodded, with some emotion:

"Yes, Dean Hou has been paying attention to the news of the University of Science and Technology. As soon as he saw the trending topic the day before, he immediately called the principal's office.

At that time, Xiao Pan tried to mention the patent application, but Director Hou did not refuse. I just uploaded the relevant documents yesterday, and today it shows that it has reached the internal referral stage.

Dean Hou is like this, he doesn't talk much, but he never misses things.

So Xiao Xu, the pressure on you and the school to eliminate the cockroaches in the East District this time is probably far greater than you imagined."

Xu Yun opened his mouth, but did not speak.

Generally speaking, the patent application period for biopesticides is between six months and one year, and some may even get stuck for two or three years.

Even for a school with a background like the University of Science and Technology, it is really not an easy task to shorten the time to one month.

Therefore, when Tian Liangwei told him that the patent could be applied for in a short period of time, he vaguely guessed some possibilities.

But even if he wanted to break the sky, he would never have imagined that the one who helped him was such a big cow as Hou Xingyuan?

Dean of the Academy of Sciences.

This can already be said to be one of the highest achievements in the field of local scientific research, and it is even more difficult than academicians.

Indeed.

Hou Xingyuan is willing to help apply for patent referrals, most of which are due to his feelings for HKUST.

But on the other hand, it also means that he has learned about Xu Yun's information. After all, if it is a useless patent, it is impossible for him to spend such effort on it.

Even from the most conservative point of view, he at least knew there was someone like Xu Yun in HKUST.

Therefore, for Xu Yun, the result of the patent application has become a secondary achievement, and more importantly, he has already caught the eyes of such a person.

Perhaps it may be difficult to 'realize' in the short term, but if Xu Yun has any more valuable results in the future, this relationship may be of great help!

Then Tian Liangwei glanced at the clock on the wall, suddenly thought of something, and asked:

"By the way, Xiao Xu, do you have any ideas about the company's factory building?"

Hearing the teacher's question, Xu Yun quickly recovered and nodded:

"There are already plans, I have already made an appointment with the person in charge of Luzhou High-tech Zone, and I am going to take a look at it tomorrow.

I came to you today to talk about this matter. Once the site of the factory is decided, the lease contract must be signed at that time, but our company's official seal"

"Official seal, don't worry."

Tian Liangwei waved his hand vigorously:

"If there is no accident, the official seal will come out within two days.

After all, the business nature of our company includes medicine, so it will take some time even to go through the channel of the new venture fund.

You can go to see the factory building first, and try to determine the location of the factory first. The idea of ​​the school is to try to put the factory into production within one month! "
