Chapter 1111 Cooperative Research
The three young people hit it off and decided to start researching crystal steel as soon as possible.
However, before the project was established, Qiao An still had to say hello to her mentor.
On the other hand, Angor and Ryan also had to go to their supervisor to make a report, and obtained the consent of Dean Franklin to allow them to use the laboratory equipment, the blue ice and quartz needed for research, and they could also be reimbursed with public funds.
Franklin Laboratory is supported by two special funds, and the annual research funding is no less than 100,000 Gold Duga!
For Qiao An, who has always "brought his own dry food" to do scientific research, it was so extravagant to the point of "crazy" that he envied and hated him!
The communication between the teachers and teachers of both sides went smoothly. Professor Moriarty agreed with Joan to help in the next-door laboratory. Dean Franklin also welcomed them. He approved 2,000 Gold Durga research funding for them and helped them find a lot of green ice compounds. The latest research literature and experimental data in the field are used as reference.
As a reciprocal condition for strong support, Mr. Dean asked them to publish at least one core journal paper on "Crystal Steel" before the deadline of this semester.
In Qiao An's opinion, Mr. Dean's request is actually not too high, just an "Academy Review" is enough...
If every time you publish an article of "Absolute Law Review", in addition to academic points, you can also earn an additional two thousand gold Dujia research funding, Qiao An really feels that he can make a fortune from this business...
In this way, Joan, Angel and Ryan, three rookie freshmen, formed a small research group under the wise guidance of Mr. Dean, and they got busy that afternoon!
...
This busy is more than ten days.
In the blink of an eye, at the beginning of July, Qiao An’s paper revised according to the reviewer’s opinion—"Spores in the Darkness"—was sent to the editorial office of "Journal of Austrian Law" again to wait for the good news. At the same time, he and Angel, The subject of Ryan's cooperation has also made breakthrough progress.
After repeated proportioning tests, the three young people successfully prepared the "Crystal Steel" with the best comprehensive performance under laboratory conditions. What's even more rare is that they did not add any rare and expensive materials except for the two main materials, green ice and quartz. There is no difficult operation in terms of auxiliary materials and technology.
As long as you master the formula, it is not difficult to mass-produce this high-quality synthetic material in factories. It has a wide range of industrial uses and has good commercial prospects.
Joan, Angel, and Ryan, in addition to constantly adjusting the formula and testing various data corresponding to the green ice compound these days, another important task is to co-author a paper.
Joan is experienced in this area and provided a lot of advice for the two partners so that they would not make detours.
Compared with the three papers written by Qiao An independently, the research scope of this co-authored paper is limited to "green ice-quartz compounds", with a clear theme, simple ideas, and detailed experimental data as a basis. It's not difficult to read, and it's easy to publish.
Joan and two collaborators finished the first draft of the paper in less than a week.
How to sign the paper is a very sensitive issue. If the "cake" is divided unfairly, everyone will be unhappy.
Angor and Ryan are side by side, and Joan doesn't think it's controversial.
Angel took a small advantage in signing, because his initials are "A", and when they are sorted by alphabet, they can always be at the top.
Joan felt that he only did a little work during the cooperation process, and the time and energy he invested was far less than that of Angel and Ryan. Besides, he just wanted to make some "crystal steel" for his own use, and the thesis was just a by-product. , I offered to hang up a second work by myself.
Angor and Ryan were very sorry for this, and said that the idea of the thesis was proposed by Joan, and he should be given a work to comply with the rules.
Joan didn't care about it at all. He already has two papers in core journals, and there will be a third one soon, two of which will be published in the "Journal of Austrian Law", and one more small article will be published in the "Academy of Law Review". It's not even the icing on the cake, it's simply a dispensable thing.
On the contrary, this paper is of great significance to Angell and Lane.
If they can be successfully published, they will follow Joan and become first-year freshmen who have a paper in a core journal. This is also rare in the history of Midgard University’s Austrian Law School, and it will be very helpful for their future academic development. .
There are indeed people in the world who "pluck out a hair to benefit the world without doing it", and there are even such so-called "celebrities" in the academic circle who want to snatch the authorship of students or partners for their papers without doing any work , packaged into elegant gifts, used to bribe leaders or please lovers...
However, Joan was not that kind of person.
In the matter of doing scientific research, his moral cleanliness does not allow him to receive rewards for nothing, let alone engage in such indecent activities of preempting other people's achievements...
Considering the very different meanings of this paper to himself and his two partners, Joan would not compete with Angel and Ryan for the first author.
Just as they were giving in to each other, Dean Franklin pushed the door in and asked with a smile, "Children, how is your thesis going?"
"Mentor, the first draft has been written, only the issue of signature, and a little controversy..."
After listening to Angel's narration, old man Franklin sneered.
"You don't have to give in to Qiao An. In fact, you don't need to give him the second game—to him, this is not an honor at all, but it seems to be lowering his value."
"Mr. Dean, don't be joking..." Joan protested weakly.
"This is really not a joke. I came here today, except to see the progress of your work, mainly to inform Joan of the good news."
Dean Franklin looked at Joan, with a gratified smile on his kind face.
"Joan, this morning, I received word from an old friend who was a judge that your thesis on 'worm disease' has been shortlisted for the 'Rising Star Award' selection finals, and there is great hope of winning!"
"Thank you for telling me the good news, but to be honest, I'd rather you keep it from me."
Joan couldn't help but reveal her entangled emotions.
"The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. If I don't have expectations, even if I lose the election in the end, I will not be too disappointed."
"Hey! Your child is good in everything, the only shortcoming is that you are too inferior!"
Mr. Franklin stared at Joan and scolded him angrily.
"If you always avoid competition because you are afraid of being hit, and you only focus on entertaining yourself in your own small circle, no matter how talented you are, you will not get a stage to fully display it, and your talent will be wasted!"
