Chapter 1580 Rules and Status

Later, the situation changed drastically beyond Joan's expectations. First, the three towns by the lake were attacked by herds of beasts. Joan and his companions rescued Bison Town overnight. The Wasp girl and others in the colonial village were caught.

The Wasp was also frank, and was responsible for the dinosaur riots, but she did not admit that she was committing a crime, claiming that what she did was to represent the aborigines and the original ecology oppressed and destroyed by the colonists, and to Mead The Gard colonists have exacted their just vengeance.

Shortly thereafter, the "Green King" Orphen, who accompanied Mrs. Josephine, also expressed similar views as the Wasp, and went a step further, declaring in front of Joann that he would actively use the conflicts among the colonists , Prompting the major colonial forces belonging to different home countries to check each other, so as to strive for living space for the aborigines of the New World.

Joan thinks that the positions of the Wasp Girl and the Green King are too extreme, but he has to admit that their criticism of the colonists truly reflects the objective and increasingly severe social problems in the north of the New World.

Joan himself, as a descendant of the colonists, felt awkward and in a dilemma when faced with the problems pointed out by the Wasp and the Green King.

He hoped that the aborigines and colonists in the northern part of the New World could live in harmony, but in reality the two sides were full of contradictions and fierce conflicts.

The Primitive Church represents the position of the part of the aborigines who is most hostile to the colonists; on the side of the colonists, they support the radical views of seizing the aborigines' land, enslaving or even massacring the aborigines, and are widely recognized by the public , Baron Laval, commander of the Midgard garrison, is the spokesperson for advocating "iron blood" and "conquest".

Joan was very disgusted with these two extreme positions, and couldn't think of a feasible strategy to eliminate the antagonism between the two sides. He simply quoted the Wasp and the Green King at the end of the paper he wrote—of course in the form of pseudonyms— —The fierce criticism of the colonial movement, hoping to take advantage of the opportunity of publishing the paper to spread the word, attract the attention of people of insight, and try to resolve the increasingly intensified contradictions between the colonists and the aborigines.

Joan took advantage of the rest time after lunch to read the manuscript of the thesis from beginning to end, and asked Duo Er to give her comments.

"I have read every one of Mr. Vader's papers. So far, I like the one you just read aloud the most." Duo'er told the truth.

"Why do you like this one the most?"

Joan looked at Duo'er suspiciously.

"In fact, the technical content of this article is not as good as the petrochemical effect paper I collaborated with Medea, and the content and style are too literary. It looks more like a news investigation or newsletter than an academic paper. I was even worried that the manuscript would be rejected by the journal editor.”

"You are right, Mr. Vader, but I am just an ordinary reader without much knowledge, and the opinions I can offer you are just the impressions of an ordinary person."

Duo'er shrugged and spread her hands, and smiled helplessly.

"The paper on the petrochemical effect is indeed more technical. However, when shown to a layman like me, the complex alchemical reaction equations alone make me dizzy. It is inevitable that I feel obscure and boring."

"The article you just read may not be that hard-core, and the data processing tools used are not complicated, but the content of the research is related to the safety of ordinary residents in the colony. The dinosaur riots have not completely subsided until today. Everyone is looking forward to someone Stand up and provide a reasonable explanation, as an ordinary reader, I will of course be more interested in your article."

"As for the other question you just mentioned, is literary genre and language necessarily a disadvantage when it comes to academic papers?"

"On the premise of not violating the facts, what's wrong with writing the article more vividly and interestingly?"

Duo'er's question reminded Qiao An that when she wrote her first thesis, she had naive thoughts similar to hers.

However, what happened to that thesis afterwards gave him a big blow. When he wrote the thesis later, he dared not let himself go in terms of style. He always warned himself to follow the standard format and not use any gorgeous rhetoric or literary techniques. Try to be rigorous in writing and precise in words, as for the article becoming boring...everyone writes papers like this, why are you special?

After a year, Qiao An couldn't tell what it was like to hear these familiar questions from Duo'er.

Seemingly aware that he was in a bad mood, Duo'er comforted him softly: "Mr. Vader, in fact, you don't need to care about the opinions of laymen like me. You should show the paper to the master. The opinions of professionals are more important to you. It has reference value."

Hearing what she said, Joan nodded and shook her head. In the end, she could only answer vaguely: "Thank you for your opinion, I will seriously consider it."

Back at the desk, Joan checked the manuscript of the thesis, but she still had no idea, so she simply accepted Duoer's persuasion, cast a spell and sent the thesis to Mentor Moriarty, asking him to take time to read it.

Two hours later, Joan received a reply from the instructor.

Professor Moriarty gave his new work unexpected praise. As for the stylistic style that Joan was worried about, the professor thinks there is no problem.

"When you are a newcomer, my student, it is against the rules to use literary techniques in academic papers. Editors and reviewers may think that you are young and impetuous, not suitable for rigorous academics. Research."

"However, when you are no longer a rookie in the academic circle, but have become a well-known scholar and a recognized genius star in the industry, then literary writing techniques will no longer be a shortcoming, but will become your unique writing style of essays. A plus item."

The teacher's reply made Joan relieved, but also realized a not-so-pleasant reality.

In the industry, and even in society, many so-called "rules" are just steps used to distinguish different statuses. Once you climb that level, you don't have to care about the "rules" under your feet.

Putting aside his distracting thoughts, Joan picked up the manuscript that his tutor had revised for him, stuffed it into a large envelope, and mailed it to the editorial department of "Aofa Newsletter".

Putting this matter to rest, Joan went back to the laboratory, opened his notebook, checked the whimsical ideas he had recorded recently, selected the most interesting idea, and decided to try it out immediately.

"Duo'er, I'm going to conduct a new set of experiments, can you help me and be my assistant?"

"No problem, Mr. Vader, if you need me to do anything, just tell me."

"Get some wood. I'm going to make a set of experimental targets."

"Okay, wait a minute, I'll bring it to you right away."
