Chapter 1890 Has the Skin Thickened?

Joan plans to make full use of the biological specimens he has collected to analyze the "mimetic" characteristics of the above-mentioned creatures from the physiological level, and provide a research perspective for the natural selection of the dark area.

In addition, this thesis created by Qiao An also has a theme, which is the "artificial selection" of the Underdark.

"Artificial selection" does not only refer to the selection and breeding of wild species by "human beings", such as the domestication of pheasants into domestic chickens and domestication of wild wolves into domestic dogs.

In the world of Vales, before the rise of human civilization, giants and dragons were once the rulers of the world. Even today, intelligent races such as dwarves and elves have a civilization system that is not inferior to humans. Domesticated species even Domestic animals are more abundant and diverse than those of human society, the most classic example of which is the Roth beast.

Long before the growth of human civilization, the giant race had domesticated the highland Ross beast.

At about the same time, the Diros, a close relative of the Highland Roth, was also domesticated by the stone giants in the Underdark. Later, the dark elves and subterranean gnomes also learned this craft, just as the later surface humans learned to domesticate the Highland from the giants. The ability of Ross beast.

To this day, as Joan saw with his own eyes during his travels, the Far East of the Old World has further improved the technology of domesticating Rose beasts, and artificially bred short-haired Rose beasts suitable for dragging trains.

A series of domestication and domestication processes surrounding the Roth beast are "artificial selection" in the traditional sense.

Then use activities such as "survival competition" to replace disorderly conflicts, and pass an "examination" with artificial rules to eliminate weaker ethnic groups, so as to release living space and achieve the purpose of relieving the pressure of survival. What about "artificial selection" in a broad sense?

Qiao An decided to raise this issue in the paper, hoping to get a response from colleagues and discuss it together.

After sorting out his thoughts, Joan spent three days writing the first draft of the thesis. He wanted to ask Professor Moriarty to review it, but the tutor accepted the employment of the mysterious "Mr. Tiger". could not be reached.

In desperation, Joan sent the manuscript to Mr. Tennyson, his number one "noble man" in the academic circle, with a letter attached, and respectfully asked him to take the time to correct it and see if his article could be submitted to the "Olympiad". Law Exploration".

If it is not qualified to be published in the top core journals in the Austrian law academic circle, the next best thing is to vote for the "Aofa Letters".

The next afternoon, Joan received a reply from the editor-in-chief, telling him that he could submit to "Alpha Exploration" for a try, but he had to be mentally prepared in advance. Points will not be too high.

Joan hurriedly wrote back to Mr. Tennyson, and frankly admitted that he just wanted to test the waters. Before submitting the manuscript, he was prepared to be rejected. As long as he can publish it, it is enough to thank the gods for blessing, and thank the editor-in-chief for his support. How can he dare to be picky? High and low scores.

Qiao An still had a little doubt about how capable he was.

Mr. Tennyson quickly wrote back, expressing his relief:

"Joan, my child, you have changed..."

"My face has become thicker, and I have learned to be a rascal."

"Become more and more like your mentor."

"Overall, it's a good thing.

"I'm so relieved to see your transformation."

Joan repeatedly read Editor-in-Chief Tennyson's reply twice, but couldn't figure it out for a long time. Is the old man really praising himself, or is it a subtle criticism wrapped in a joke?

But having said that, has my skin really thickened?

Joan touched his cheek, feeling nothing...

On the first Sunday in September, Joan received a letter from a reviewer.

Thinking back to the past three years at Midgard University, except for the criticism of Joan’s first debut, she was almost scolded to be autistic, and she vomited when she revised the manuscript. Afterwards, the papers were published smoothly, and the reviewers’ opinions were nothing more than random. Transitions.

It is already quite a strange experience for him to test the waters of the top journal "Abstract Exploration", and to be picked and picked in a serious manner by letters from his colleagues.

This long-lost feeling, Emmmm... is quite amazing.

Had he received these unfriendly letters three years ago, Qiao An would have been in isolation for three to five days, and his mentality had collapsed into a mess.

Now that I am three years older, my mentality has become more mature. I take seriously the problems pointed out in the letters from my peers, and amend the parts that are really inappropriate, and write back to discuss the controversial details.

In the blink of an eye, on the morning of September 6th, when Joan was immersed in revising his thesis as usual, he unexpectedly received a magical letter from Freeport.

This letter was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples, prompting Joan to leave the campus and embark on a journey.
