Chapter 198 CNS

Within a few days, almost all the professors in the Institute of Physics learned that Wu Bin had published an academic paper that could be published in Science, one of the most authoritative academic journals in the world.

Although their reaction after hearing this was not as exaggerated as Liu Yubo's, they were still quite frightened. Even Song Nanfeng, who was most familiar with Wu Bin, said that he had never expected that Wu Bin would reach such a state in such a short period of time.

In the end, Zhou Hanyi, the department head of the School of Physics, personally went to the laboratory to talk to Wu Bin. It was also the first time that he got to know all about this outstanding student who had been praised by many professors.

Making such a big noise. Although Wu Bin's publication of the paper was not so loud that everyone at HKUST knew about it, several researchers in the laboratory still knew about it.

After Feng Jinhui heard about it, he was just scratching his head. Damn it, a freshman undergraduate student published "Science"! ? Don't do it! Are we going to let people like them hang out?

Feng Jinhui has been working in the laboratory for so long. Naturally, he has published many articles in SCI, but he has never thought about top journals like "Science", which are all cutting-edge scientific papers! Quite a few of them were breakthroughs from 0-1.

After Han Kangshun heard the news, he collapsed on the spot. When he thought about his paper that was stuck in review, he couldn't help feeling sad for a while.

Putting away this memory, Han Kangshun almost cried when he looked at the evaluation on the computer again: "No new ideas, poor English".

Feng Jinhui patted him on the shoulder, "We are really no match for that kid."

Feng Jinhui admired Wu Bin so much not only because Wu Bin could publish papers at the level of "Science", but also because the short half year he spent with him made Feng Jinhui, who originally thought he was talented and diligent, I know what it means to be outside the world.

"Actually, what I want to understand most right now is why this kid doesn't need to sleep..." Han Kangshun sighed in a low voice after closing the webpage.

"I want to know too."

For a period of time, Feng Jinhui spent almost all day running to the laboratory because he wanted to observe the changes in molecules. During this period, he found that no matter whether he came during the day, at night or in the middle of the night, Wu Bin would wake up. On! And I am either reading literature or doing experiments.

At the beginning, Feng Jinhui would persuade him with a few words, such as "The body is the capital of revolution." "It is difficult to do scientific research without spirit." "Only by combining work and rest can we come up with better ideas."

But after a while, Feng Jinhui looked at Wu Bin, who was still in high spirits, and compared it with himself, whose hairline began to recede again and the bags under his eyes became more and more serious, but he couldn't say anything to persuade him.

I can only shout "We are different! We are different!" when leaving the laboratory.

…

"Two mentors...what's the matter with you staring at me like this?" Wu Bin, who had been stared at by two scorching eyes for about ten minutes, couldn't help but turn around and ask Feng Jinhui and the others.

Feng Jinhui immediately waved his hand: "How many times have I told you not to call us mentors? We can't bear it. We can't bear it."

"How can this work? These two have taught me a lot in scientific research. Of course they are my teachers."

"Alas." Han Kangshun shook his head after hearing this, "Why are you such a polite and good boy! If you are a little bit arrogant, I will definitely do harm behind your back!"

"Pfft, Teacher Han, what's wrong with you..." Wu Bin was stunned.

"Ignore him, he's lost his mind." Feng Jinhui waved his hand quickly, "It's been a long time since your paper was sent out. I guess there will be a response soon."

"Well, Professor Liu told me the same thing yesterday."

"But I am not pouring cold water on you. Since you call me teacher, I will tell you some experience. The water in CNS is really a bit deep." Feng Jinhui said, dragging a chair and sitting in front of Wu Bin.

"What experience?" Wu Bin asked curiously.

"You still know something about CNS's god-like status in the country, right?"

"Yeah." Wu Bin nodded.

The so-called CNS is the abbreviation of the three top magazines in academia: "Cell", "Science" and "Nature". They are all monster-level. No matter how good other journals are, there is still a gap between them and these three. Also very big.

Seeing Wu Bin nodding, Feng Jinhui continued: "At this stage, if a full article can be published on CNS, the academic situation will immediately change dramatically. However, it is difficult for most people in China to publish articles on CNS, even if Even a short newsletter is very difficult.”

At this time, Han Kangshun, who also dragged a chair over and sat down, took over and continued: "Of course, the main reason is that most people in the country do not have the ability or conditions to produce CNS-level results, but this is not the only reason."

Feng Jinhui on the side nodded, "It can even be said that it is much more than this. What follows is just my personal experience. You can just refer to it and don't spread it to others."

"Oh, okay, I understand."

Hearing Feng Jinhui speak so cautiously, Wu Bin suddenly became serious.

So Feng Jinhui took a piece of paper and a pen from the table and said while writing: "Why is CNS so bad? Because it only publishes three types of scientific research work, 1. A small number of top-level scientific research results, 2. A small amount of rubbish Level work..."

Wu Bin couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this. He was talking about dick just now, why did he suddenly become rubbish... But after thinking about it, he didn't interrupt and continued to listen quietly.

"3. Absolutely most "ordinary" level jobs." When reading the word "ordinary", Feng Jinhui emphasized his tone.

"The first category of top-level jobs, the average number of which is no more than 10 per year in various disciplines around the world, is the patent of talented people. I think if you grow up a little in the future, you will be at this level."

Faced with the sudden compliment, Wu Bin smiled and said modestly, "I don't dare to take it."

"Secondly, you must be curious why I said it was rubbish, right? However, the fact is that even a top journal like CNS has work that many people do not agree with, including fraud, work that is purely for the sake of news effect, etc. , I think I told you last time about NS’s many retractions in recent years, right?”

"Yeah." Wu Bin nodded.

"This is enough to illustrate this problem from the side. Of course, it is undeniable that even if it is garbage, it is high-end garbage with the CNS label. Some people can get funds by shamelessly making a fuss, and even improve their professional titles. It's possible... forget it, I won't tell you these dark sides in detail, I hope you won't encounter them in the future, that's really disgusting."

Seeing Feng Jinhui's expression as if he was about to vomit, although Wu Bin was a little curious about what was going on, he still didn't ask and just nodded.

"The rest is the third category of jobs, which are "ordinary" jobs on CNS." Feng Jinhui emphasized the word "ordinary" again when he spoke.
