My "academic genius" persona is so convincing!

Chapter 21 The end of scientific research is to ponder the meaning of existence!

Ten days later.

Xue Lin submitted the paper directly.

"Don't let me down!"

Xue Lin spoke.

All things considered, this can be considered my first academic paper in this world.

A top-tier journal in architecture, and a world-class one at that.

Their reviewers must be pretty good, right? They should have some discernment, right?

This is a new theoretical prototype.

Surely you can see the value in it?

But that's not necessarily true. Aren't there plenty of talented people in this world who are overlooked?

In short, it cannot be generalized.

He didn't think much of it and flipped through today's entries in his bedroom.

Chu Ming believes you have a well-developed physique. You can obtain the attribute "[Muscular (Green)]", which increases your strength training results by 30%.

Xia Shuyao thinks you are quite charming. You can obtain the attribute "Quite Charming (Green)", which increases your charm and affinity by 30%.

"This person really has my eye on them."

Xue Lin shook his head helplessly.

Forget it, let's wait until the second mock exam to make her give up.

"The college entrance exam is almost here, and you're only now thinking about dating?"

Xue Lin also shook his head slightly.

After entering the senior year of high school, with so many things weighing on my shoulders, I no longer have the right to enjoy the carefree days of youth.

Let's wait until after university.

The last one is Xu Ce's.

Xu Ce believes you have made great progress, and you can obtain the entry "Great Progress (Green)" indicating that your efficiency in professional studies has increased by 30%.

"Great progress has been made in terms of selection; let's combine the terms!"

During these ten days.

He has accumulated enough entries.

Now, another purple entry can be synthesized.

soon.

He then created a purple entry for "Young and Promising".

【Young and Promising (Purple)】: The younger you are, the faster you progress. Current stacking efficiency is 400%.

"Good heavens, four hundred percent!"

Xue Lin's eyes lit up.

That's four times the learning efficiency!

This kind of entry effect is simply unbeatable.

Moreover, it is already more than three times more efficient than a typical purple-level entry.

Currently, he has installed four entry panels in total.

[Young and promising (purple)], [A resounding success (purple)], [Promising (blue)], [Good looks (green)].

The last term was chosen because there was really no other option.

"If his looks are good enough, and he also has a music-related entry, he could consider developing a career in the entertainment industry."

"But the main focus should definitely be on academia; becoming an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences or the Chinese Academy of Engineering is the pinnacle of architecture."

"After all, once you enter the entertainment industry, you'll have a huge amount of traffic. You can rake in tons of keywords, make money and fame in architecture, and gain popularity in the entertainment industry—it's perfect."

Of course, the main reason is that songs from the previous world will also shine in this parallel world.

Take your time, there's no rush.

There's also the path of plagiarism.

Although he was a PhD in architecture in his previous life, he also had considerable expertise in music, literature, philosophy, and painting.

After all, the ultimate goal of scientific research is philosophy and aesthetics.

Even some design departments are located within the art academy.

I think about the meaning of my existence every day.

Older PhD students are even more worried about when they will graduate.

Some people delve into philosophy, others into fitness; in short, those who achieve something in scientific research must have some other skill or expertise.

"Great! Your learning efficiency is now seven times higher!"

Xue Lin nodded somewhat.

With seven times the learning efficiency, one can truly do whatever one wants when it comes to learning.

"I have no idea how overpowered those colored entries must be!"

"Take your time, it won't be long."

"There are still twenty days until the second mock exam, no rush."

Xue Lin spoke, but didn't say much more.

......

"This paper...is it from China?"

The bearded white professor looked somewhat surprised.

After carefully reviewing the manuscript, he nodded, "If this article is published, it might cause a sensation around the world."

Without much thought, he carefully reviewed it once and passed the initial review directly.

The next step is to invite experts to conduct an external review.

The experts are all prominent scholars who have submitted to this journal. They are invited to review the manuscript and provide their feedback.

Once the revised paper has been reviewed by the editor-in-chief, it can be accepted for publication.

He forwarded the email directly to the three experts.

......

Back home, Professor Chen Hui gently rubbed his temples.

He had just taken office as the dean of the School of Architecture at Jinling University, and his daily social engagements were truly exhausting.

"Fortunately, we have reached a preliminary agreement with those international scholars, and they all plan to come and lecture for a period of time."

"The subject assessment will be held a year later."

"Nanjing University, you absolutely must maintain your A+ in Architecture!"

This was his first test after becoming the dean of the School of Architecture at Nanjing University.

A year is neither a long nor a short time.

However, the discipline evaluation is conducted every four years, and in the last evaluation, Jinling University was almost downgraded to A level.

Architecture is the most advantageous discipline at Jinling University!

Like astronomy, it's world-class!

However, the academic output and the quality of papers in recent times are truly worrying.

It's almost dropped to an A rating.

There are five schools at the A level!

If it really is lost, then Nanjing University's architectural advantage will be completely gone!

There are only two universities with an A+ rating in architecture.

One is Tsinghua University, and the other is Nanjing University, which merged with another well-known architecture university in the same province.

Their strength was terrifyingly powerful.

However, it is now in a precarious situation.

"I don't know if it's harder to become an academician or to be a good dean of the architecture school."

Chen Hui gave a wry smile.

He straightened his tie; he had just returned from a social engagement and still had to work.

He is only fifty-two years old this year.

Even in the titles awarded by the ministry, he was still considered a young scholar.

"Yes, a scholar is young until death; as long as he doesn't regress, he remains young."

"I'll try to get the academician title before I'm 55. There are still a lot of projects to follow up on."

He sat down in front of the computer.

I took a sip of ice water to clear my head.

Open your email.

He was looking at the work schedule that the secretary had sent him for the next few days.

"Is this... peer review?"

He considered simply handing it over to his doctoral students to review, where they would simply offer some suggestions for revision. But after thinking about it, he decided against it.

Since it's a top-tier journal, I should review it myself before sending it to the doctoral student.

For journals of this caliber, we still need to give them face.

Especially since he had just become the dean of the architecture school.

Therefore, we need to take into account the reactions of all parties.

"A contributor from China?"

He was genuinely surprised.

If it's a contributor from China, then they should take a closer look.

Could he be someone working for a big shot at another university?

Although the review process is done blindly with names covered, everyone in this industry knows each other!

Especially for projects that can publish papers in top journals, you can tell who did it at a glance.

However, upon seeing the title of the paper, he became somewhat unsettled.

"What? Less is more?"

"And he's supposed to be a great philosopher?"
