Chapter 433 Changes in Academia
"Academician Ning, Teacher Song, I have been very happy in Shengzhou these days. Shengzhou is really a charming city. I hope that the next time I come to Shengzhou will not be too far away." Tao Zhexuan knew in his heart that Shengzhou itself was actually nothing special. It was only because of Ning Chen's existence that Tao Zhexuan had this special feeling. "Don't worry, Professor Tao, the next time you come to Shengzhou will not be too far away. After you return to Australia this time, you can come to Shengzhou University to work at any time after you finish your things there." Hearing Ning Chen's words, Tao Zhexuan was stunned for a moment. He stood quietly for a long time before realizing what Ning Chen meant. "Academician Ning... Do you mean that you have already dealt with the things over there?" "Yes, they have all been dealt with. They have agreed to our request very readily and will give the green light to your job change at any time. Professor Tao does not have to worry about any other problems. You just need to deal with your own things." Seeing Ning Chen say this, Tao Zhexuan was still a little skeptical, but he knew that Ning Chen would definitely not joke with him casually. "Academician Ning... Thank you so much! After I go back, I will immediately deal with the matter over there, and then bring my family to Shengzhou! I don't know how you did it, Academician Ning?"
"Haha, Professor Tao, in fact, this matter is not as difficult as you think. Of course, the specific details cannot be disclosed to you. After Professor Tao goes back, if you encounter any problems that you can't solve, you can contact me at any time, and I will do my best to help you solve these problems."
After seeing off Tao Zhexuan, Ning Chen and Song Xiyun returned to Shengzhou University.
On the way back, Song Xiyun couldn't help asking Ning Chen about Tao Zhexuan's visit to Shengzhou University.
"Ning Chen, I don't even know when you did this. You didn't really just appease Tao Zhexuan's emotions first, did you?"
"Of course not. There is no need to "appease" Tao Zhexuan in this kind of situation. Instead, we must help Tao Zhexuan solve practical problems. This matter is smoother than expected. Even if I have to take out more bargaining chips, I will not hesitate to exchange for Tao Zhexuan's opportunity to come to Shengzhou University..."
Ning Chen also did not reveal the specific exchange conditions to Song Xiyun. After all, this involves some secrets of Xingchen Technology Company, and Ning Chen does not want Song Xiyun to know these things.
Song Xiyun also knew that it was not convenient for her to ask about these things, and did not continue to delve into this topic. As long as Tao Zhexuan could come to Shengzhou University as he wished, then other things were relatively minor.
…………
When Tao Zhexuan returned to Australia, all the procedures were as smooth as Ning Chen said.
The Australian side did not make it difficult for Tao Zhexuan at all, and helped Tao Zhexuan complete various procedures very well, which made Tao Zhexuan himself feel a little unexpected.
Ning Chen did help Tao Zhexuan solve various procedural problems as he promised before, and Tao Zhexuan only had to deal with some personal issues.
Of course, these things were not as easy to deal with as Tao Zhexuan imagined. It still took a very difficult psychological preparation for him and his family to leave Australia where they had lived for many years.
In addition, Tao Zhexuan had a lot of friends here. Once he left, it would be very difficult to meet them again.
Fortunately, Tao Zhexuan was not a very emotional person. He knew that this was just a normal sentimental emotion before leaving a place. Compared with the advantages that could be obtained by working at Shengzhou University, losing these things was nothing.
What's more, in order to help him realize this wish, Ning Chen paid a lot of effort and cost. When these most difficult problems were solved, Tao Zhexuan would definitely not let some small emotions affect his final decision.
After spending some time to deal with these trivial problems, Tao Zhexuan brought his family and came to Shengzhou as he wished, and officially joined the Department of Mathematics at Shengzhou University.
Ning Chen stayed with Tao Zhexuan the whole time and personally helped Tao Zhexuan complete the entire entry procedure.
"Professor Tao, welcome to join the Department of Mathematics of Shengzhou University! Your joining will be of great help to our entire Shengzhou University and even the academic community of Xiaguo. This is very exciting news!"
"Academician Ning, I also want to thank you for helping me solve so many difficulties. Otherwise, I may not be able to realize this wish in my lifetime."
"Hey, it doesn't matter, as long as the result is satisfactory to everyone. Professor Tao and his family have just arrived in Shengzhou, and there may be many things they need to adapt to. If you need any help, you can contact me at any time."
"I feel okay here, maybe because I have been to Shengzhou several times before, I am very familiar with it. But my family members really need to adapt to this new environment. It was not so easy to persuade them to come together at that time."
"Well, this reaction is also human nature. I will definitely be a little uncomfortable when I just changed the environment. It doesn't matter. I will do my best to take care of this. I believe they will adapt to the new environment soon."
Ning Chen had anticipated this incident and had arranged personnel in advance to solve these problems so that Tao Zhexuan's family could feel the warmth of the new environment.
Ning Chen had just arrived at Shengzhou University and had no intention of letting Tao Zhexuan get into work right away. Instead, he would let Tao Zhexuan move around freely first. After Tao Zhexuan had settled everything in place, he would return to work. It's not too late.
Although the news of Tao Zhexuan's arrival at Shengzhou University was not widely publicized, after people gradually learned about the news, the matter quickly aroused a very high level of discussion.
After all, Tao Zhexuan is one of the most outstanding mathematicians in the world today. It is not very common for a mathematician of this level to suddenly change his job.
"Tao Zhexuan actually went to work in the Mathematics Department of Shengzhou University? I really don't know how Tao Zhexuan's previous school was willing to let Tao Zhexuan go. He is one of the best mathematicians in the world!"
"Since they have not issued any negative statement about this matter, it is enough to show that Tao Zhexuan's job change is in full compliance with the procedural requirements. Tao Zhexuan's joining is an even more powerful thing for the Xia Kingdom mathematics community. . Ning Chen and Tao Zhexuan, this picture is so beautiful!”
"The joining of Tao Zhexuan will probably bring about a new trend, causing more world-class experts to flock to Xia Kingdom. This matter is just like the original scientists who actively went to Milicia. After all, they can Having a better academic environment is a very wise choice.”
While Tao Zhexuan was still adapting and settling into the new environment, Ning Chen was not idle, but continued to fulfill some of his previous promises.
The last time Ning Chen and Tao Zhexuan talked about wanting to build a website version of "Academic Starry Sky", Ning Chen didn't just talk about it. He actually had a very strong interest in this matter and felt that it This thing is very meaningful and worth doing.
Today's academic paper journals still have some shortcomings. For example, papers have a very serious lag. The results published on them are often papers submitted a few months ago, or even longer.
And this does not count the time of sorting out the results and writing the paper. This means that the research on this result has started a long time ago. What people see is not the latest research results, only the latest publicly published research results.
But if more people could publish their research results directly on academic paper websites, everything would be completely different.
Of course, this method of publishing papers also has many disadvantages.
First of all, judging from the current academic rules, this will definitely not be the ideal choice for the vast majority of academic researchers, because publishing papers directly on academic paper websites will not gain them the academic recognition they need. Just publish the paper as quickly as possible.
It can be said that there are very few people like Tao Zhexuan who don't care about anything about academics. The trend of academic paper websites that Tao Zhexuan started before also retreated in a short period of time.
Secondly, this method of publishing papers without any review will lead to uneven quality of papers on academic websites. It is not easy to even find a few papers with excellent quality.
In addition, the management of academic paper websites is also a difficult problem, because there have not been any relevant and very successful cases before. Otherwise, academic paper journals will not always be the mainstream now.
However, Ning Chen has formulated a plan that he is very satisfied with and is confident of changing the current situation in the academic world.
Ningchen will completely bind the paper journal version of "Academic Starry Sky" with the website version of "Academic Starry Sky". Any paper published on the website will be regarded as a paper and submitted to "Academic Starry Sky". It is entirely possible to publish it in the main journal of "Academic Sky" and other sub-journals in the future.
In response to the problem of uneven quality of papers on academic paper websites, Ning Chen will add a scoring mechanism to relatively objectively evaluate the quality of a paper through the ratings of professional experts.
Those papers with better quality will be assigned to a high-quality premium paper area with greater traffic display, and those excellent paper authors will also be more recommended by academic paper websites.
This kind of rule arrangement can, to a certain extent, better improve the overall quality of papers on academic paper websites. Although it is certainly not comparable to paper-based paper journals, it will have a great advantage in terms of quantity. For academic researchers with larger reading needs.
After determining the basic rules for such an academic paper website, Ning Chen informed Lu Minghao of his thoughts.
This kind of work is Lu Minghao's specialty. After learning about Ning Chen's needs, Lu Minghao said that he would immediately write the relevant program code and complete the "experience version" of "Experience Version" within a week at the earliest. Construction of the website version of "Academic Starry Sky".
Building a website is definitely not a difficult task for Xingchen Technology. It is not only "easy" at the technical level, but also not a problem at the financial level.
Ning Chen doesn't even have to think about whether this matter can be profitable. After all, Ning Chen has too much money at his disposal now. Even if he builds ten or a hundred more such websites, there won't be any pressure. .
In just five days, Lu Minghao completed the task assigned to him by Ning Chen perfectly and showed the completed website to Ning Chen.
Ning Chen was also very satisfied after seeing the website version of "Academic Sky" that Lu Minghao was responsible for.
The various functions, page style, usage fluency, etc. on this website are exactly the same as Ning Chen expected. It is far more excellent than the academic paper website where Tao Zhexuan published his paper before. .
After experiencing it for a period of time, Ning Chen found no fault and said to Lu Minghao approvingly:
"Yes, Manager Lu, this website is very well done and can be launched for internal testing immediately. In addition, we must also find ways to attract more academic researchers from all over the world to publish papers on our website. Otherwise, we will Great websites don’t mean anything.”
Ning Chen knew that this academic paper website was just a platform, and the most important thing was the quality of the papers on it.
"Okay, Mr. Ning, I will arrange this matter immediately." Lu Minghao nodded and agreed.
With the appeal of Ningchen and Xingchen Technology, it is not difficult to attract academic researchers. After learning that "Academic Starry Sky" launched a web version of the website, many academic researchers soon logged in to the newly launched website. The "Academic Starry Sky" paper website has registered their own account.
In less than twenty-four hours, the number of registered users of the website exceeded 10,000. Although this number does not seem to be much, it is because academic researchers in the world are a very small group. The number is actually quite considerable.
This is the terrifying appeal of the world's top academic journals. All academic researchers have their lifelong goal of publishing papers in "Academic Sky."
