Chapter 10 Find a new way

The American Association for the Advancement of Science is the world's largest consortium of science and engineering societies and the largest non-profit international science and 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 world's scientific community. In addition, the famous "Science" is now also sponsored and published by the Association for the Advancement of Science.

Backed by such a behemoth, there are naturally all kinds of professional experts who can review manuscripts. However, because this kind of review itself also depends on their time, the review time is usually not short.

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

First, the preliminary review staff will check the formatting and duplication rate of the paper. If there are no problems, the journal editor assistant will check whether the manuscript is complete, etc. After the journal editor has read the paper and feels it is suitable, it will be passed to the peer review experts to minimize the number of manuscripts.

Unsuitable manuscript arrives.

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

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

If you're just a student, it's actually fine. At least you can usually send it in, and the format, layout, etc. are pretty basic.

But there is another thing called Minke that makes them feel a little nervous.

There are often some shocking and shocking headlines.

The more you know, the more you will be in awe of knowledge. But for people who can do superluminal forehand, perpetual motion backhand, and prove Goldbach's conjecture from time to time, they, the staff in charge of the preliminary review, also feel a sense of awe.

Feeling of powerlessness.

After the other party has been rejected, they will sometimes send emails to scold them.

In the editorial office, Hoff, who had made coffee and was ready to spend a pleasant day, opened his work email and started today's preliminary review work. He has been working in this job for three years, so he is very experienced.

For many manuscripts, you can know whether to reject them simply by scanning the title.

"Oh, God, Goldbach's conjecture has been proven again."

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

Very good. As expected, I have never heard of it. It comes from China.

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 posted it?"

The colleagues next to me are not surprised by this, and they will occasionally use such words to tease new colleagues, but there are no new people here now.

Asking this question is also out of professional instinct. If it is a big shot, then this is really a bombshell.

"WANGYI, Chinese."

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

Because it is an English journal, generally even if it is a submission from China, the signature will still be filled in according to Western standards. However, Wang Yi was completely pragmatic and never considered this aspect. Even if he knew, he might not care.

this.

So here it becomes Master Yi directly.

"Rejected?"

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

"Hey, I've received more and more useless manuscripts from there recently."

"It's normal. After all, they have such a large population. If language screening hadn't eliminated most of them, I'm afraid there would have been more submissions. The recent increase is due to the increase in machine translation."

Hof sighed helplessly, the workload of this job was getting bigger and bigger.

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

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

"Fields~, Harold from France seems to have published a related paper on the weak Goldbach conjecture last month."

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

While the two were chatting, they also swept Wang Yi's submission into the recycling bin...

…

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

This explanation, which was rejected almost immediately, has never been in the hands of professionals. Mathematics does not lie. If you don’t understand it, you just don’t understand it.

The initial review must have been rejected due to other issues, so it should be about my identity?

In fact, if Wang Yi goes to his alma mater for help and finds a big boss to sign him as the corresponding author, he will definitely be able to go all the way to the professional review stage.

But obviously he didn't have this idea.

His original purpose of publishing the paper was to let the academic community get to know him, and to say hello first so that he could publish something strange later. You will come and study with me to discuss and come up with inspiration.

Now that his submission to Zhengerbajing was rejected, he naturally found another way.

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

Then I directly found an agent and connected with a certain agent.

Although Xite is not as popular as it will be in the future, the number of monthly active users has officially exceeded 200 million, and the ‘comment’ function that was originally launched in two years in this parallel world has been opened ahead of schedule.

(At first, a certain person could only add his own opinions when reposting. The comment function was only opened in 15 years, but similar adjustments will be made for the needs of the plot. I will not explain it in the future. Please don’t bully me. After all, it is a parallel world~)

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

He won't talk about sensitive topics, so he doesn't worry about it.

Well, they said they would not publish sensitive topics, but after completing the registration and randomly getting a profile picture of the Infinite Sword Master, Wang Yi directly wrote the title "Does this mean that Science magazine is involved in racial discrimination?"

Then he talked about the process eloquently and attached a screenshot of the time when he was rejected. Finally, he uploaded the proof process step by step.

The key point is that since the proof process was so long, they must have rejected it immediately without even looking at it.

If you talk about the difficulty and significance of a lot of Goldbach's conjectures on a certain subject, and talk about a lot of mathematics, it is of no use. Who will go online to read mathematics?

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

Maybe when the time comes for some strange questions that you need help with, you can post them directly from a special forum to brainstorm ideas.

After doing all this, Wang Yi quit the agency without caring about what would happen.

He just wants to achieve his goals and will not waste time dealing with those comments.

Instead, I looked up some relevant information that was useful to me.

"Silver is quite expensive."

After looking through the information related to silver, Wang Yi muttered.

Under the influence of the European debt crisis the year before last, the price of silver climbed to the highest point in thirty years. Now, although China's silver production continues to skyrocket, it has begun to fall back and there is a certain degree of overcapacity.

Moreover, the demand for silver manufacturing has also begun to decline slightly, but at least the price is still at a high level. One ounce costs more than 40 US dollars, which is almost 10 yuan per gram.

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

Build a perfect mage tower, then increase your influence to make money, and gather global resources and talents to pursue the truth of magic and technology. This is the new goal Wang Yi has set.

Naturally, the more silver is needed to build the Mage Tower, the better. Ten yuan per gram sounds inexpensive, but it is just a gram, just like cutting cakes. The price of a big lump is still a headache.

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

China is now the largest producer of silver, but there are also 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 short-term surge in demand will only lead to skyrocketing prices, and currency itself has limitations.

After scanning, Wang Yi also felt that when he had free time, he might go to Mo Country...

I reviewed and revised it a bit, it’s a bit late. Sorry, I’ll revise it and repost it...

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