Chapter 167 Is Bottled or Canned Coke Better?

In the study room.

"Brother Lu, why are the data results of my group of samples not significant? How to solve this problem?" Wang Wentao hurriedly ran over with the data and asked.

Lu Liang held his cheek and replied calmly: "Then buy a new test kit and test again."

"However, just the reaction step of this sample will take half a day."

Wang Wentao had a troubled look on his face, and then he asked tentatively: "Brother, is there any simpler operation method?"

As soon as he heard this, Lu Liang knew what Wang Wentao was thinking.

However, this is normal, after all, sample testing is a tedious task.

Those tedious and boring operation steps make people want to skip them just by looking at them.

Lu Liang curled his lips: "Then add a 0 to the end of the experimental group's data, so it will be very significant."

After Wang Wentao heard this, he felt happy, but then he began to look hesitant again.

He asked cautiously: "Senior brother, wouldn't it be academic fraud if we do this? Wouldn't it be bad?"

"Knowing that this is academic fraud, why don't you just go back and re-test? How dare you come over and ask?"

Lu Liang rolled his eyes. He didn't know Wang Wentao's little thoughts.

"Oh, then I'll order the test kit now." Wang Wentao went to order the test kit with a grimace.

Seeing Wang Wentao's dejected figure leaving, Lu Liang felt angry and funny.

There are never any shortcuts on the road to scientific research.

Then he withdrew his gaze and looked at the computer screen again.

He has revised this paper several times based on Ji Hong's revision opinions.

Now basically only some formatting and grammatical expression issues remain.

After completing the revision, Lu Liang sent the paper to Ji Hong again, and then he stood up and walked out of the study room.

Ji Hong's office is opposite the study room.

Not just Ji Hong, most of the tutors' offices are opposite the study room.

The reason why the school arranges this is for one reason: to facilitate tutors’ inspections.

More demanding tutors, in order to more conveniently exploit their students, will also install a time card machine at the door of the study room.

Used to monitor what time students leave the study room and return to their dormitories every night.

Even more demanding tutors will install cameras directly in the study room to prevent their students from playing games and fishing in the study room.

However, fortunately, Ji Hong rarely conducts inspections, let alone installing time clock machines and cameras.

In Ji Hong's words, one should take the initiative to study this kind of thing, if one is forced to study and research with a big stick.

The results produced under such circumstances will not be very good results.

Lu Liang stepped forward and knocked on the office door.

"Please come in." Ji Hong's voice came from the room.

Lu Liang opened the door and walked in: "Teacher, the paper has been sent to you."

Ji Hong nodded: "I received it and am reading it now."

Lu Liang sat down on the sofa and asked: "Teacher, after the revision is completed this time, there should be no problems. Can I submit the manuscript?"

Ji Hong smiled and said: "I can't say for sure. If there is any problem found, it will have to be modified again."

Regarding the quality of papers, Ji Hong is almost pervertedly demanding.

Even if it is a small flaw, Ji Hong will correct it until it is perfect.

Ji Hong asked: "By the way, Xiao Lu, where do you plan to submit this paper?"

Ji Hong's words naturally refer to which of the three top CNS journals he plans to submit to?

Lu Liang thought for a moment and then replied: "I have already submitted an article to Nature, how about you submit it to Science, teacher?"

After listening to Lu Liang's words, Ji Hong was stunned for a moment, and then his expression became strange.

You know, CNS is one of the three top journals in academia.

Being able to publish an article of one's own in these three top journals is what many scientific researchers have dreamed of throughout their lives.

But listening to what Lu Liang meant, it seemed like Lu Liang wanted to publish a paper in each of the three top journals of CNS.

There is quite a feeling of gathering some kind of game achievement in it.

Ji Hong asked with a strange expression: "Xiao Lu, do you plan to publish again in Cell in the future?"

"Teacher, how do you know?" Ji Hong dispelled his idea, which made Lu Liang a little surprised.

"You have this thought written all over your face." Ji Hong said helplessly.

"Is it so obvious?" Lu Liang subconsciously touched his face and said.

Ji Hong did not continue chatting with Lu Liang. He said, "I have read the paper carefully. It should be fine. Let's submit it."

"Okay, teacher, I'll submit the article then."

Lu Liang also acted vigorously and resolutely. He stood up with a flash, quickly returned to the table in the study room, and submitted the paper through the mailbox on his computer.

After doing all this, Lu Liang glanced at the time. It was almost noon.

It's already dinner time.

Lu Liang called Wang Wentao up, and the two of them walked towards the cafeteria.

It happened to be the end of August, and the scorching heat made the two of them sweat profusely just walking on the road.

When passing by a canteen, Wang Wentao stopped and asked: "Brother, do you want something to drink? I'll treat you."

Lu Liang thought for a moment and then replied: "Coke."

"Okay."

Wang Wentao opened the door of the refrigerator in the canteen and was about to take out two bottles of Coke.

"Get the canned ones." Lu Liang reminded.

This made Wang Wentao a little surprised: "Why, senior brother, isn't the bottled version more cost-effective?"

You must know that a bottle of Coke costs 3 yuan, and the Coke can have 500ml, while the can of Coke costs 2.5 yuan, but only has 330ml.

It’s 5 cents more, but it’s 120ml more Coke.

As a staunch value-for-money person, Wang Wentao naturally gives priority to bottled Coke with higher cost-effectiveness.

But Lu Liang shook his head: "Coke in cans tastes better."

"Is this your illusion, senior brother?" Wang Wentao was skeptical about this.

After all, bottled and canned Coke are produced by the same company and have the same formula.

How is it possible that canned Coke tastes better than bottled Coke?

Lu Liang's face showed a half-smile expression: "The carbonic acid in bottled and canned Coke is different."

The so-called carbonic acid refers to a binary weak acid formed when carbon dioxide is dissolved in water. It can also be seen from its chemical formula H2CO3.

For Coke, carbonic acid and ice are the soul of Coke, and both are indispensable.

After all, the Coke is out of gas, and it's just ordinary sugar water.

Lu Liang explained: "However, carbonic acid will decompose into carbon dioxide and water more quickly when exposed to light. Bottled Coke is easily affected by light because of its transparent packaging, and more of the carbonic acid in Coke will be decomposed."

"But cola in cans is different. Its packaging is opaque, so it is less affected by light. There is more carbonic acid stored in the cola, so it tastes better."

Having said this, Lu Liang patted Wang Wentao on the shoulder: "So, do you know what to choose?"

Wang Wentao couldn't help but clicked his tongue: "Brother, why do you have such strange knowledge?"

"Isn't it good, a piece of trivia every day?" Lu Liang said with a raised eyebrow.

Wang Wentao didn't waste any time. He put down the bottle of Coke in his hand and settled for two more cans of Coke.
