Stanley's reporting continues.

After all, the theme of this conference includes computational chemistry in addition to theoretical chemistry, so he will also talk about computational chemistry.

When it comes to computational chemistry, Li Mu's paper is still unavoidable.

"I don't do much research in computational chemistry, but I had to be amazed by the effect shown by Li's "Computational chemical model of interfacial reactions between two types of conductors."

"With an accuracy of more than 80%, it is almost possible to allow computer simulation experiments to replace our chemical experiments in the laboratory."

"I dare say that this is definitely the greatest effect on us after the invention of the computer."

"Unfortunately, the computational chemistry model mentioned in Li's article is still very limited and can only be applied to the electrochemical reaction between two types of conductors."

"So, fellow computational chemists, this matter is up to you."

"After our first watoc conference was held in 1987, only a few people realized that computational chemistry would play an increasingly critical role in the future."

"And even today, our chemical community still wears colored glasses for computational chemistry."

"But from today onwards, I hope you can change this situation, and I also hope that Li's paper can bring you guiding experience!"

"The future of chemistry has unlimited possibilities, and this possibility is in my hands."

"So, please keep going!"

There was thunderous applause, and Stanley's report officially ended.

Next comes the communication phase.

Many hands went up off the court, and then Stanley pointed to one of them.

The man said, "Hello, Professor Stanley, what kind of changes do you think Li's four papers will bring to our chemical community?"

Stanley smiled and said, "It's very simple. If you look at the extra half of the people in this meeting, this is the most obvious change."

Amidst the laughter, Stanley then coughed twice and returned to seriousness: "Of course, the more important change is that our chemistry is about to enter a new chapter."

Stanley's answer caused another uproar in the audience.

Every chemist participating in the meeting showed excitement on his face.

In this new chapter, they will be the protagonists!

...

After the end of this watoc conference, many media who participated in the conference began to write articles.

"Nobel Laureate Stanley: Chemistry will enter a new chapter"

"The Rise of Theoretical and Computational Chemistry"

Do the Math, Chemists

etc.

Such a grand occasion has also attracted the attention of other academic circles.

Especially the physics community.

After all, it is important to know that in Li Mu's papers, there are not many applications of physics, especially the "Electrodynamic Analysis of Electronic Behavior at the Interface of Two Types of Conductors" in the four papers.

This paper can be regarded as a pure physics paper, and the various methods used in this paper are excellent in the analysis of electrodynamics.

Ever since, with this paper, Li Mu has also received a lot of attention in the physics community.

After seeing Li Mu's paper, Nobel Prize winner Duncan Haldane made a very high evaluation: The application of mathematics in this paper can be called top level, and its use of exquisite mathematics formula, reveals the behavior of electrons in chemical reactions, and fully demonstrates the infinite possibilities of mathematical physics, and when I know that its author is a mathematical genius who proved the Hail conjecture, I am relieved, and everything makes sense .

Known as the best physicist among mathematicians and the best mathematician among physicists, Edward Witten also said when talking about this paper with his friends: If Li Mu is willing to be my student, I will I must pick him up at the airport in person to show my welcome.

The physics community is so surprised, but people in the mathematics community are delighted.

Just kidding, although Li Mu studied physics, in the eyes of people in the mathematics field, he is a mathematics person.

The geniuses in the mathematics world have conquered the chemistry and physics worlds with a single shot, which of course makes people in the mathematics world feel a kind of disciplinary pride.

Our math is really good!

...

And when the academic world is busy, the major journals are not idle.

After all, these four papers of Li Mu were first published on arxiv, which means that his papers have not yet passed the review of other journals.

And as long as the copyright agreement has not been signed, it means that the publication rights of these papers can be changed.

For any journal, a paper with such great influence obviously needs to be fought for.

...

As one of the three most well-known CSN journals in the scientific world, the submission rate of "nature" is only 21%, and the probability of acceptance of articles after submission is only 33%.

In other words, only 7% of the submissions can be accepted by "nature".

Such a low acceptance rate not only represents the strict review of "nature", but also represents its authoritative status in the academic world.

It can be said that it is the dream of countless scientific researchers to have an article in "nature".

It's like a goddess you can't wait for.

But sometimes, the goddess also becomes active.

"Nature" editorial department.

"None of these four papers has been accepted by any journal?"

The exclamation of editor-in-chief Joss Winston came from his office, which attracted the attention of editors outside the office.

"Yes, Mr. Winston."

Parker Scrooge nodded. As the intelligence expert of "Nature", he is responsible for finding those high-value papers on various preprint websites, and then checking the submission status of these papers.

"This paper has not yet been submitted to any journal, whether it is "Science", "JACS", or even "PRL". Throw it out."

"Is there still such a situation?"

Joss Winston's face was surprised, such a paper hadn't been submitted yet?

Logically speaking, the author should have submitted such a top-level paper long ago.

Besides, even if you didn't select, wouldn't those other journals have found it like crazy long ago?

After all, they are not the only ones who have such intelligence personnel.

Parker Scrooge spread his hands and said, "Perhaps other journals have the same idea as us, thinking that this author has already submitted."

But then he said: "Mr. Winston, I think we should contact Li Mu immediately to discuss the invitation to submit papers with him... because I am the editor of the journals I asked, maybe they have already thought of this matter at this time Something happened."

Joss Winston immediately clapped his hands: "Yes!"

He stood up suddenly: "Now, immediately, immediately, find me Li Mu's contact information, and I will call him personally."

"Nature" is indeed "Nature". With Joss Winston's order, they found the contact information within 3 minutes.

Then Joss Winston called.

After a while, the phone was connected.

"Hello, Mr. Li, I am Joss Winston, the editor-in-chief of "Nature", I am calling you because we heard that the four heavyweight papers you recently published on arxiv have not been sent to any of them. Journal submission, so we "Nature" sincerely invite you to submit your manuscript to us, and we will arrange for your manuscript to be published as soon as possible, what do you think?"

Then, he heard a calm voice from over there: "Oh, sorry, I'm about to defend my undergraduate thesis now, please call back later, thank you."

The phone hung up.

Joss Winston was bewildered.

Undergraduate... dissertation defense? ?
