The «Natural Chemistry» editorial department, two technical editors is processing the manuscript that receives newly. 《自然化学》编辑部,两位技术编辑正在处理新收到的稿件。 …… …… After all is one of the two big world top academic Journal, the manuscript that here every day receives, can describe with tens of thousands of this words. 毕竟是两大世界顶级学术期刊之一,这里每天收到的稿件,都能用成千上万这个词来形容。 Although the larger part home to return to is the recycling station, but also many quality prominent papers. 虽然其中一大半的归宿都是回收站,但也不乏一些素质突出的论文。 At this moment, Kevin who is inspecting the manuscript, sends out together low voice calling out in alarm suddenly. 就在这时,正在检查稿件的凯文,忽然发出一道小声的惊呼。 „Inconceivable...... some unexpectedly people claimed that solved lithium dendrites?!” “不可思议……竟然有人声称解决了锂枝晶？！” Kevin's voice, attracts the attention of nearby colleague immediately. 凯文的声音,立刻吸引了旁边同事的注意。 Saw only sits carries the coffee to stand up in Kleeman of next door table, gathered by his computer, looks that the paper in screen pushed the eyeglasses, said interestingly: „Truly inconceivable......, if this is real, the battery industry will raise the new round technological revolution.” 只见坐在隔壁桌的克里曼端着咖啡站起身来,凑到了他的电脑旁边,看着屏幕中的论文推了推眼镜,饶有兴趣道:“确实不可思议……如果这是真的,电池行业将掀起新一轮的技术革命。” This view is not exaggerating. 这种说法毫不夸张。 At present restricts the technical bottleneck of lithium battery pond, in the lithium dendrites issue. Is the battery of portable bomb or high performance, the issue lies in who can be solved, that punctures the mutual lack of understanding „silver fork”. Although is only a small negative electrode material, but its application was really widespread. 目前制约锂电池的技术瓶颈,就在锂枝晶的问题上。是便携炸弹还是高性能的电池,问题就在于谁能解决,那根刺破隔膜的“银叉”。虽然只是一个小小的负极材料,但它的应用实在是太广泛了。 Naturally, all premises are, it real. 当然,一切的前提是,它是真的。 Two editors stared at this paper to look were very long, no one could make up mind. 两个编辑盯着这篇论文看了很久,谁也拿不定主意。 The form of paper has no issue, in the issue document does not have the obvious loophole, resounding of research results also to match on Nature absolutely. But the issue is, this technology rather also too „black science and technology”. How everyone is studying suppresses the growth of lithium dendrites, did you give the direct solution this issue unexpectedly? 论文的格式没有任何问题,行文中也没有明显的漏洞,研究成果的轰动性也绝对配的上《自然》。但问题就在于,这技术未免也太“黑科技”了点。大家都在研究如何抑制锂枝晶的生长,你竟然把这个问题给直接解决了？ Therefore, two editors hesitated. 因此,两位编辑犹豫了。 Stands in Kevin following Kleeman, thought a moment later, asked: „How this article do you see?” 站在凯文后面的克里曼,思索了片刻之后,问道:“这篇文章你怎么看？” Kevin knits the brows: „I do not know, the paper has no issue, can be called in the lithium battery pond domain absolutely is the unprecedented research development, but...... I cannot guarantee regarding paper's accuracy.” 凯文皱眉道:“我不知道,论文本身没什么问题,在锂电池领域绝对称得上是突破性的研究进展,但是……对于论文本身的正确性我不敢保证。” Kleeman reminded: „Contributor came from Princeton.” 克里曼提醒道:“投稿人来自普林斯顿。” Kevin sighed, had a headache said: „I know, moreover is a math professor, and some time ago had won the Crafoord Prize in Sweden. But he and material science only relation, I retrieve the later discovery to only have a paper that calculates the material.” 凯文叹了口气,头疼地说道:“我知道,而且还是一位数学教授,并且不久前就在瑞典拿过克拉福德奖。但他和材料学唯一的联系,我检索过之后发现只有一篇计算材料的论文。” Kleeman hesitant, said: „With the Professor Lu Zhou academic prestige, I remembers that he should not violate honest to be wrong.” 克里曼犹豫了一下,说道:“以陆舟教授的学术声誉,我记得他应该不会犯诚实性错误。” Kevin asked: „Is your opinion?” 凯文问道:“那你的意见是？” „My opinion is, since the paper does not have the issue, meets the requirement of our Journal, that throws this issue for academic edits the worry, if the experts feel not to have the issue, I feel also ok.” Kleeman said. “我的意见是,既然论文本身没有问题,也符合我们期刊的要求,那就把这个问题扔给学术编辑去烦恼吧,如果专家们觉得没问题,我觉得也ok。”克里曼说道。 In any case, Journal is not a scapegoat. 反正,期刊是不背锅的。 „You thought that who is quite appropriate?” Kevin asked. “那你觉得谁比较合适？”凯文问道。 „Massachusetts Institute of Technology the research team of Mongolian wonderful g Bawendi Professor ( moungigbawendi ) is very thorough to the battery area research, moreover he is also the expert in battery, and enough authority, I thought that contacts with him to be quite appropriate.” Kleeman stopped the moment , to continue saying that „. Moreover, before Professor Lu Zhou , the reviewer who that calculates the material science paper is also he, I thought that his opinion should be very essential.” “麻省理工大学的蒙奇g巴旺迪(moungigbawendi)教授的研究小组对电池领域研究很深入,而且他本人也是电池方面的专家,并且足够权威,我觉得联系他应该比较合适。”克里曼停顿了片刻,继续说道,“而且,陆舟教授以前那篇计算材料学论文的审稿人也是他,我觉得他的意见应该很关键。” Kevin thinks, thought besides does that as if no a better method, therefore then the nod said. 凯文想了想,觉得除了这么做之外,似乎也没有更好的方法,于是便点头说道。 „That...... pressed you to say came.” “那……就按你说的来吧。” ...... …… The paper uploaded for a week later, Nature that side spread the good news, the paper to adopt the verification of technical editor, entered the peer review link. 论文上传了一个多星期之后,《自然》那边传来了好消息,论文已经通过了技术编辑的审核,进入了同行评审环节。 Hears this news, Lu Zhou also relaxes finally. 听到这个消息,陆舟也总算是松了口气。 At least, his paper not like 90% resisted manuscript, „was not conformed to reader interest” and „research the reasons of these two tiger balm returning in this/should domain insufficient innovation”. 至少,他的论文没有像90%的被拒稿者一样,被“不符合读者兴趣”、“研究在该领域不够创新”这两条万金油的理由给打回来。 Although Nature is not the only choice, more specialized organic chemistry Journal can consider, but the Lu Zhou goal is this dissemination of technology. On this point, no Journal influence can compare favorably with even the layman still has in a big way in two of attention withstand/top the publication. 虽说《自然》不是唯一选择,还有很多更专业的有机化学期刊可以考虑,但陆舟的目的是将这一技术推广出去。就这一点而言,没有哪个期刊的影响力能比得上即使是外行也有在关注的两大顶刊。 Now the paper was delivered to the professional hand, the following matter was easier to do, he believes that the same guild of this domain gave an own research critical appraisal. 现在论文被送到了专业人士手中,接下来的事情就好办多了,他相信这一领域的同行会给自己的研究一个中肯的评价。 The time passes quickly. 时间过得很快。 In an instant, by July 15. 转眼间,到了7月15号。 On the request of Lu Zhou, received the offer three masters to arrive in the Princeton University campus as scheduled. 应陆舟的要求,收到offer的三名硕士如期抵达了普林斯顿大学校园。 These three new students Wei Rapp from Berkeley Branch school, opened big Qin Yue from China respectively, as well as graduated Hardy Clive in Columbia University. 这三位新生分别是来自伯克利分校的薇拉普尤伊,来自华国开大的秦岳,以及毕业于哥伦比亚大学的哈迪克莱夫。 And the appearance when the Wei Rapp Lu Zhou a little impression, sees in Berkeley Branch school with him has no change, is a character is shy, but very strong little miss. 其中薇拉普尤伊陆舟有点印象,和他在伯克利分校时见到的样子没什么变化,是一个性格腼腆但很坚强的小姑娘。 Qin Yue with interview time was the same, wears square eyeglasses, was very polite, but was not good at expressing. However regarding him the talent and ability in math, Lu Zhou quite approves, after all about this point, has tested in the interview. 秦岳则是和面试的时候一样,戴着一副方框眼镜,很有礼貌,但不怎么善于表达。不过对于他在数学上的天赋和能力,陆舟还是相当认可的,毕竟关于这一点,在面试的时候已经测试过了。 As for another Brazilian young fellow named Hardy, the talent in math was possibly inferior in Vera and Qin Yue, talent but who also emerged from that ten resumes. 至于另一位叫哈迪的巴西小伙,在数学上的天赋可能逊色于薇拉和秦岳,不过也是从那十张简历中脱颖而出的人才。 Regarding each of them, Lu Zhou made the different requests and training plans. 对于他们每个人,陆舟制定了不同的要求和培养计划。 To be honest, like he such responsible teacher, but also are not really many. 说实话,像他这么负责的导师,还真是不多了。 Spent afternoon time, Lu Zhou to help three people solve the issue of the admission procedure as well as dormitory, then called own office them, starts to arrange the work over the following month. 花了一下午的时间,陆舟帮三个人解决了入学手续以及宿舍的问题,然后将他们叫到了自己的办公室,开始安排接下来一个月的工作。 „Your talents and abilities are good, but to be honest, is bad very to your requests with me.” “你们的天赋和能力都不错,但说实话,和我对你们的要求还差得很远。” Lu Zhou has careful attention, when he spoke these words, three people no one disagreed, even somebody, the look of correct use worship looks at himself...... 陆舟有仔细留意,当他说这句话的时候,三个人没有人表示异议,甚至于某个人,正用崇拜的眼神看着自己…… Coughed gently, he clears throat , to continue to say. 轻轻咳嗽了一声,他清了清嗓子,继续说道。 „...... Before September, I will not make you bump my topic, at your present levels, participates in my topic even, at most can help me make cup of coffee. However, I will formulate the study duty to you, if in you some people can at the end of August through my inspection, then I will allow him to join my topic.” “……九月份之前,我不会让你们碰我的课题,以你们现在的水平,就算参与到我的课题中,最多也只能帮我泡杯咖啡。但是,我会给你们制定学习任务,如果你们之中有人能在8月底通过我的考核,那么我会允许他加入我的课题。” „This topic will follow your entire master profession, I not necessarily request you completely to solve it, achievement that but at least you produce, must be is worth publishing in " Math Yearly journal » on thing. Naturally, I can study with you, but the main work is done by you, but I only provide the guidance as well as solve some problems the mentalities.” “这个课题将伴随你们整个硕士生涯,我不一定要求你们完全解决它,但至少你们拿出的成果,必须是值得刊登在《数学年刊》上的东西。当然,我会和你们一起研究,只是主要的工作还是由你们来做,而我仅提供指导意见以及解决部分问题的思路。” This move is Academician Lu studies, Lu Zhou felt oneself can use for reference. 这一招是和卢院士学的,陆舟觉得自己可以借鉴一下。 However, but the paper words did not have the challenging, Princeton naturally must use the standard of Princeton. 不过,只是论文的话太没挑战性了,普林斯顿自然得用普林斯顿的标准。 Lu Zhou in the interview has reminded them, studied for the master do not count on that oneself here drifted along can attain the diploma, he will help them cross every day very substantially. 在面试的时候陆舟就提醒过他们,在自己这里读硕士不要指望混日子就能拿到毕业证,他会让他们每一天都过得很充实。 Qin Yue asked anxiously: „If no one does complete your inspection?” 秦岳紧张地问道:“如果没有人完成您的考核呢？” Can participate in the topic through the inspection, opportunity that if cannot through the inspection, even graduate? 通过考核才能参与到课题中,如果不能通过考核,岂不是连毕业的机会都没有？ The opportunity of state assignment to study abroad is not easy, he most cares naturally is the realistic issue. 公派留学的机会不容易,他最关心的自然是现实的问题。 Lu Zhou thinks, said with the relaxed tone: „That only then study, while can help others make the coffee, till through my inspection. However I feel you to be able self-confidently, since I choose you as my student, that definitely is thinks that you can complete my request.” 陆舟想了想,用轻松的口吻说道:“那就只有一边学,一边能帮其他人泡咖啡了,直到通过我的考核为止。不过我觉得你可以更自信一点,我既然选择你作为我的学生,那肯定是认为你能完成我的要求。” Compared Qin Yue the discretion, Hardy displays self-confidently excessively, seemed like him as if not to care one month later test, raises hand to ask: „Professor, what topic can I ask am?” 相比起秦岳的谨慎,哈迪则表现得自信过头了点,看上去他似乎并没有将一个月后的考验放在心上,举手问道:“教授,我可以问一下是什么课题吗？” However, Lu Zhou not direct reaction this issue, but shows a faint smile. 然而,陆舟并没有直接回答这个问题,只是微微一笑。 „Related with the hail.” “和冰雹有关。”
