Meet the principal

Crescent College seemed quiet and peaceful at night. It was long past the time to turn off the lights, and the entire college was shrouded in darkness. Except for a few bright street lights in the square, the swaying lights in the principal's office were still shining.

Reiner was sitting at his desk. He was not sleeping, but was focusing on the work in front of him.

He picked up a quill, a popular writing instrument in the Middle Ages that required constant dipping of ink in order to write. Reiner was worried about the problem of writing at first, but later he discovered that at least this body had learned to read and write, and he was good at writing. The cursive fonts are also quite beautiful.

At first, Reiner just wanted to see if he had the so-called benefits of a time traveler.

Usually, most time travelers carry plug-ins such as game systems, brain libraries, special talents, magical rings, brain chips, smartphones, mentally retarded goddesses, etc. However, Reiner confirmed that he has no system or special talents. Since there was no special ring around me, I started to see if I could copy books and songs.

He recalled those masterpieces on earth, and soon Reiner discovered that although he could recall the plot of Victor Hugo and Notre Dame de Paris, he could not write it down silently. As for those ballads, Reiner could retell it through notation, but only briefly. It was still a bit disturbing to ask him to compose a symphony of destiny.

"It seems there is no golden finger..."

Reiner sighed, now traveling through time is getting more and more stingy.

Since the attempt failed, he could only rely on memory and write papers while studying.

Fortunately, this experiment is the simplest and most basic and does not require much professional knowledge.

Reiner first wrote the title of the paper on parchment.

"Discussion on special gases generated in limestone heating experiments and research on several issues in traditional combustion reaction theory".

Of course, he couldn't directly write a headline like "The Fallacy of Combustion Reaction", which is very exciting at first glance, even if it is true, because Reiner knows that doing academic work is different from doing journalism. If he said this shocking point of view from the beginning, To put it bluntly, there is absolutely no journal that dares to publish his paper.

It may even be rejected at the review stage for being too sensational.

Therefore, Reiner chose to proceed step by step, starting with basic experiments, and then step by step through the reaction results to make people accept it, and finally put forward his own arguments.

After writing the title, Reiner directly began to write the introduction according to the format of a paper on Earth.

"Abstract: The special gas that appears during the process of heating limestone to produce white rock was discovered and its existence was proved. Its properties were explored through various alchemical methods..."

Reiner looked through a few of the latest journals. Papers in this world have not yet formed the standard format on earth. Basically, each company writes according to their own preferences. Some people will also imitate the format of academic masters. , so of course Reiner chose the method he was most familiar with.

"Should we be thankful that we don't need to translate this summary into English..."

Reiner laughed at himself. After writing the summary, he added a few more keywords.

Limestone, whitestone, new materials, combustion reactions.

After writing this, Reiner started the first chapter and began to write the paper step by step.

"Chapter 1, the transformation of limestone and white rock and its basic experiments: As we all know, in daily industrial production, heating limestone is an extremely common process, and the product white rock can be used to manufacture several types of materials needed for construction. Important raw materials..."

Reiner wrote very quickly. On the one hand, he could write a lot. Although he had no references, he did not have to worry about repeating other papers. On the other hand, he had not enjoyed such clear-thinking paper writing for a long time. Process.

He was a top student in college, and he should have been eligible for postgraduate study.

However, changes at home forced him to work early and give up his academic path. As for being targeted at school, that is another story.

Several cats meowed outside the window. Spring was already halfway through, and the temperature at night had also risen a lot, but it still seemed a bit cold. However, Reiner did not feel cold. Instead, it was as if there was a fire burning in his heart, and there was a trace of coldness spreading all over his body. Warmth.

Reiner didn't put down his quill until the sky was bright and a little fish belly white appeared in the east.

By counting, he had written a thirty-page paper.

Although the history of modern magic is only three hundred years old, magic in this world has formed an academic atmosphere. If you want to gain academic points, you must first send your paper to the Tower of Rainbow, which is the magic center of this world.

According to Reiner's review of the final registration process of several journals, if a paper wants to be published, it will first be backed up in the huge database of Rainbow Tower, and then it must pass the duplication review. The review committee will use magic to Check whether the paper is plagiarized or duplicate content that has been studied by others. This process can last up to one day.

After the plagiarism check is passed, the review process will begin. The paper will be submitted to different review committees according to the fields involved. Generally speaking, an ordinary paper will be reviewed by three committee members. If there are huge differences, It will be submitted to a higher-level committee member for review until an evaluation is given. This process usually takes one to five days depending on the paper.

After getting the evaluation, the author will be notified of the result, and the author can use this to submit to major journals and gain academic points. However, generally speaking, if it is a highly evaluated paper, it will be reviewed by a high-end journal after it is reviewed. Requesting manuscripts, of course, these are all things for later.

Reiner checked his wording again, stretched, then rubbed his sleepy eyes and walked out of the office with the paper, but unexpectedly he met Teacher Claire.

At this time, Teacher Claire is still dressed as a witch, but you can see that she is holding a black and white outfit in her hand, which must be the maid outfit of this world.

"Good morning, Teacher Claire."

Reiner yawned and looked lazy, which made Claire frown slightly.

"Mr. Principal, didn't you go back to your room to sleep last night?"

She felt a little strange when she saw that the lights in the principal's office were still on behind Reiner.

"Well, I'm too involved in writing the paper. It's time to raise my head... Ha--"

After saying that, Reiner yawned again, and then continued.

"By the way, Teacher Claire, this is the paper. Please give it to Xia Luo and let her read it carefully and mark the parts that you don't understand or have problems with. Come see me in the office after dinner tonight. Well, if you are worried, you You can also follow me."

He handed the paper to Claire and looked like he was going to take a nap.

"Of course, it's best to keep your promise as well."

Reiner took another last stab and glanced at the maid uniform in Claire's hand.

"you......"

Claire was dazed for a moment and took the paper in a daze. It wasn't until Reiner staggered around the corner that she came back to her senses and opened the thick parchment paper in her hand angrily.

"A discussion about the special gases produced in limestone heating experiments... wait, no?"

She already had a premonition when she read the title. After quickly flipping through the paper, Claire felt a little unsteady on her feet. She leaned against the wall, unable to believe what she just saw.

"That guy wrote such a rigorous, straightforward, and informative paper in one night. Isn't it really cheating?"
