Deep Space Fleet

Zhang Yuan had already practiced on the spaceship for a year beforehand, and was quite familiar with the structure of the entire living quarters.

When he woke up, he was really hungry and flustered. He walked out of the room and was going to the restaurant to eat something.

The air is very fresh, and the pools around the corridor are covered with grape grasses, which can convert the carbon dioxide exhaled by humans into oxygen under the action of light.

This kind of seaweed plant grows extremely fast, and it can grow sweet grape-like fruits in about 28 days. If you want to eat it, you can pick it at will, and everything on the roadside is free.

The color of the electric light on the ceiling is similar to the sunlight. At night, these artificial light sources become dimmer and softer. In this way, people can easily distinguish between day and night.

Several men and women passed by Zhang Yuan, talking excitedly.

"The carbon-oxygen cycle is a very advanced knowledge. If the ratio of carbon dioxide and oxygen is out of control, people will be easily poisoned..."

"The control of the microbial community is the most important part of the spacecraft environment, and it actually involves..."

Along the way, Zhang Yuan heard many whispering voices, and there were many questions that he couldn't understand at all.

The academic atmosphere here is extremely strong, with some discussing scientific issues, discussing spaceships, and discussing the Fermi Paradox and aliens.

The astronaut exam is much more difficult than the college entrance exam. Inside the spacecraft, there are all the best in all walks of life. Everyone has a fairly high awareness of self-study.

A desire to learn arises spontaneously.

Everyone is working hard!

Speed ​​up your pace and prepare to go back to study after eating.

rest?

Not required!

At this moment, Zhang Yuan saw a girl in a sailor suit looking around, looking lost.

She is about 1.6 meters tall and looks very cute.

"Do you need help with anything?"

Zhang Yuan pondered that the other party might be going to eat. He is more familiar with this spaceship, so it's okay to help a little.

"Excuse me, how do I get to the life science conference hall here?" The girl's accent was a bit strange. According to Zhang Yuan's guess, she might be a foreigner.

Astronauts of the Earth Age are recruited from all over the world, and it is normal to meet foreigners.

"Life Science Conference Hall?"

Zhang Yuan was slightly taken aback, he didn't know where the meeting was held.

"It's that... the academic conference chaired by Professor Medel." The girl said a little embarrassedly.

"Do you have specific coordinates?"

"Block E-14."

"Oh, you're going in the wrong direction, you should go that way." Zhang Yuan smiled faintly, and pointed to one of the directions, "Walk about three or four hundred meters, turn left, then get on the elevator and you'll be there."

"Thank you, I am really sorry for your inconvenience."

The girl bowed very politely, then turned and left.

This is just a small episode, but the desire to learn in Zhang Yuan's heart is even stronger!

The girl just now, who seemed to be his peers, was invited to some life science conference.

Zhang Yuan let out a long sigh.

"Without a good thesis, without a high degree, and without the right to breathe, undergraduates have really become the bottom of society..."

"It is estimated that there is no one with a lower education than me."

"I have to go and see how my paper was reviewed. It's been more than ten days since I submitted it..."

After so many days, there should be some response.

I went to the cafeteria and picked up two mouthfuls of rice. There was no special food. The vegetables were naturally pollution-free and grown without water, but the meat dishes were all synthetic meat, and the taste was not very good.

Zhang Yuan hurried back to his dormitory. He connected to the communication system of the spacecraft and applied for access to the Earth Internet.

[Hello, please select the data package service you need to purchase. 1 yuan = 1GB. 】

The average distance between the moon and the earth is about 380,000 kilometers. The communication speed of electromagnetic waves is the speed of light, and the delay between round and round is more than two seconds. Therefore, it is basically impossible to play real-time online games.

However, sending an email, making a phone call, or watching a video is fine, as long as you can live with a two-second delay.

After a while, Zhang Yuan opened the mailbox and found a reply letter lying there quietly.

I don't know which link to review.

He opened the email a little anxiously, his face changed slightly.

"Hello, your point is very good, but it leaves a lot to be desired..."

"...Therefore, we will not consider submitting it for trial."

what's the situation!

Was rejected?

Zhang Yuan frowned and read the email carefully.

This editor did not directly refuse to submit for review, but proposed many amendments.

But if you want to modify it according to the requirements, the structure of the entire article has to be greatly changed, which is no different from writing a new article.

Zhang Yuan sighed a few times, "Modern Science" is really not easy to publish.

He didn't want to waste too much time in this kind of place, maybe he rewrote an article, and the other party was still dissatisfied?

He immediately made a phone call to Professor Wang Zhong on the earth, and asked him to give advice, it must be right.

"What? "Modern Science" rejected the manuscript? Let you rewrite it?"

"Yes, I will forward the review email to you."

Professor Wang Zhong stared at the computer for a minute, and said a little strangely: "What kind of reviewer's opinion is this? It's a grind, isn't it embarrassing?"

He hesitated for a moment, then seemed to have thought of something, and said in a low voice: "You only signed your name for this paper, right? I heard that some journal editors with bad conduct will take the opportunity to ask for it when they see that you have no background. Bribe. Did he contact you privately to ask for a bribe?"

Zhang Yuan said in surprise: "I haven't contacted me in private... Does Modern Science have such a journal editor?"

Professor Wang continued: "No matter where, there is a dark side, which has nothing to do with the influence of the journal. If someone really calls you to ask for bribes, you can record it and let me handle it. As for this matter, if you If you are in a hurry, you can submit to another journal, such as "Science Pioneer"..."

"Although the impact factor is a bit low, we can speak up here and can help you review manuscripts first. For questions about this, you can consult Professor Lu."

Zhang Yuan made another phone call to Professor Lu Junzhe from the School of Mechanical Engineering of Xisha University.

"You didn't even pass the first pass?" Professor Lu Junzhe raised his voice: "Modern Science is really getting worse and worse. You need to revise this kind of manuscript! Who reviewed it?"

All their follow-up work is based on Zhang Yuan's thesis, and now they have been sent back, and the annual appraisal will start in a few months, how can he not be in a hurry?

"I don't know who reviewed it." Zhang Yuan said, "Can I vote for "Science Pioneer"?"

Lu Junzhe thought for a while, and replied: "Well, "Pioneer of Science" is also good, but the impact factor is slightly lower. If you don't mind, you can vote for it."

"I will call Editor Hu and ask him to review the manuscript quickly."

Of course Zhang Yuan doesn't mind, he just wants to publish his thesis as soon as possible.

It's gold that always shines. Is it possible to change a journal and be afraid of being buried?
