Chapter 9 Breaking new ground

  Pretty China Association for the Advancement of Science is the largest association of science and engineering associations in the world, and also the largest non-profit international technology organization, with more than 200 branches and tens of millions of members.

  The annual meeting of the Association for the Advancement of Science is also the top gathering of the scientific community around the world. In addition, the famous "Science" is now also hosted and published by the Association for the Advancement of Science.

   Backed by such a behemoth, there are naturally all kinds of professional experts in the review, but because the review itself depends on their time, usually the review time is not short.

  And in order to avoid some weird manuscripts wasting the time of the big guys, they will go through several procedures before being passed on to these peer review experts.

First, the preliminary review staff checks the format, typesetting and repetition rate of the paper. If there is no problem, there will be journal editorial assistants to check whether the manuscript is complete, etc. After the journal editor has read the paper and thinks it is suitable, it will be passed to the peer review experts to reduce as much as possible. Inappropriate manuscripts arrive.

  Even the preliminary review staff in charge of the first process have a good breadth of knowledge after long-term exposure, but for them, the daily work is a bit mechanical and boring.

  Because many of the contributors are random things sent by students from all walks of life.

  If you’re just a student, it’s actually okay, at least generally you can send it over, and it’s still in line with the basics in terms of format and layout.

  But there is another existence called Minke that makes them a little bit dizzy.

   Occasionally there will be some outrageous horror headlines.

The more you know, the more you will be in awe of knowledge, but for Minke, who can go faster than the speed of light with his forehand, perpetual motion machine with his backhand, and prove Goldbach's conjecture from time to time, the staff in charge of the preliminary review also feel a little bit of awe. Powerlessness.

  The other party sometimes sends emails to scold them after their manuscript is rejected.

  In the editorial department, after making coffee and preparing to spend a pleasant day, Hof opened his work mailbox and started today's preliminary review work. He has been in this job for three years and he is very experienced.

  Many manuscripts can know whether to reject the manuscript just by scanning the title.

   "Oh, God, Goldbach's conjecture proved again."

   After scanning to a scary title, Hof couldn't help but raise his hand and cover his head, but out of professionalism, he still glanced at the corresponding author.

   Very good, as expected, I have never heard of it, and it comes from Huaguo.

  Thinking of the machine-translated paper on perpetual motion machines he saw last time, he couldn't help but feel his scalp explode again.

   "Who sent it."

  The colleagues next to him are no strangers to this, and occasionally they will use this kind of words to make fun of new colleagues, but there are no newcomers here now.

  It is also out of professional instinct to ask this question. If it is a big shot, then this is really a blockbuster.

   "WANGYI, from Huaguo."

   "Really? I've never heard of a master named Yi."

Because it is an English journal, generally, even if it is a contribution from Huaguo, the signature will still be filled in according to Western standards. However, Wang Yi’s complete pragmatism did not consider this aspect at all, even if he knew it, he might not care. this.

  So here it directly becomes Master Yi.

   "Rejected?"

   "Rejected, and the work unit did not fill in the details."

   "Hey, recently I have received more useless manuscripts over there."

   "Normal. After all, they have such a large population. If it wasn't for the language screening, there would be more submissions. The recent increase is due to the increase in machine translation."

  Hof sighed helplessly. The workload of this job position is getting bigger and bigger.

   "However, there are also capable people among the Chinese. I remember that last year Tao completed the proof that even an odd number can be expressed as the sum of at most five prime numbers without resorting to the Riemann conjecture, which is a complete piece of the puzzle."

   "Yes, but he has already won the last Fields Medal."

   "Fields~, that Harold in France seems to have published a paper on the Weak Goldbach Conjecture last month."

   "After all, it is the problem of the century..."

  While the two were chatting, they also casually swept Wang Yi's contribution into the recycle bin...

  …

  On the other side, Wang Yi rubbed his forehead and probably understood the problem.

   Rejection almost instantly shows that it is not in the hands of professionals at all. Mathematics can’t lie to people. If you don’t understand it, you just don’t understand it.

  The first trial must have been rejected because of other issues, so it should be my identity?

  Actually, Wang Yi went to his alma mater to find a big boss to sign the corresponding author at this time, so he would definitely be able to go all the way to the professional review process.

   But obviously he didn't think so.

  The purpose of his original paper was to let the academic community get to know him. He said hello first, so that he can post some strange things later.

  Now that the submission of Zhenger Bajing was rejected, he naturally found another way.

  Just say hello, let's get to know each other in another way...

   Then I directly found an agent and connected to a special.

  Although a certain tee is not as prosperous as it is in the future, the number of monthly active users has officially exceeded 200 million, and the "comment" function that a certain tee in this parallel world would have been opened in two years has also been activated in advance.

   (At the beginning, a special can only add his own opinions when reposting. The comment function was only opened in 15 years, but similar adjustments will occur for the needs of the plot, and there will be no special explanation in the follow-up. Please don’t criticize me, after all, parallel world~)

  Actually, at this time, the number of active users of a certain book was five times that of a certain book, and its influence alone was even greater.

  He will not publish any sensitive topics, so he is not worried.

   Well, he said that he would not publish sensitive topics, but after completing the registration and making a profile picture of Wuji Juggernaut, Wang Yi directly typed, 'Does this mean that "Science" magazine involves racial discrimination? 'title.

  After that, he explained the process eloquently, and attached a screenshot of the time when he was rejected in seconds, and finally uploaded the proof process step by step.

  The important point is that their proof process is so long, they must have rejected it without even looking at it.

  If it’s useless to talk about the difficulty and significance of Goldbach’s conjecture on a certain website, it’s useless to talk about a lot of mathematics. Who will look at mathematics online?

  So it’s better to choose a politically correct topic. Anyway, the proof process is attached later, and someone who can understand it will naturally help explain it.

   Maybe some strange problems that I need help with at that time can also be sent directly from a certain website to brainstorm.

  After doing all this, Wang Yi quit the agency directly, regardless of what would happen.

  He just wants to achieve his own purpose and won't waste his time dealing with those comments.

   Instead, he backhanded and found some relevant information that was useful to him.

   "Silver is quite expensive."

   Looking through the information about silver, Wang Yi muttered.

  Under the influence of the European debt crisis the year before last, the price of silver climbed to the peak in the past 30 years. Now, with the continuous surge of silver production in Huaguo, there has been a decline and a certain amount of overcapacity.

  And the demand for silver manufacturing has also begun to decline slightly, but at least the price is still high. An ounce costs more than forty dollars, which is about ten yuan per gram.

  Silver is an excellent magical metal, and it can also be processed into Mithril. With the natural magic power so lazy, Wang Yi also needs to consider building a mage tower with high-quality materials for himself.

  Building the perfect mage tower, then increasing its own influence to make money, gathering global resources and talents to pursue the truth of magic and technology, this is the new goal set by Wang Yi.

   To build a mage tower, the more silver you need, the better. Ten yuan a gram doesn’t sound expensive, but it’s a gram, just like cutting cakes. It’s really a big headache.

  How much does a normal bracelet weigh? The amount of industrial use is not high, but what Wang Yi needs is to build a mage tower, and even if it can be made entirely of silver and transformed into mithril, it will be no problem.

  Hua Guo is now the largest producer of silver, but there are many places where it is consumed. It is really troublesome to hoard such a large amount of this precious metal. It is no longer a question of money.

   A surge in short-term demand will only lead to a skyrocketing price, and the currency itself has limitations.

   After scanning, Wang Yi also felt that he might go to the Mo country when he was free...

  ——

   Two updates completed~

   The review has been modified, it is a bit late, sorry, I have modified and resent it...

   If the ban is lifted again, then delete a chapter...
