They’re all reborn, what’s wrong with being a little more almighty?

Chapter 156 Even the thesis is finished!
As the director of the Department of Biology of Tsinghua University, Meng Heming has been doing scientific research all his life. The entire scientific research project of the Department of Biology of Tsinghua University must be handled by him. What's more, as a top scholar, he will also participate in the research of many projects.

It is not impossible that there is still money left over after a project is completed, but it is only a very rare case.

In most cases, scientific research funds are not enough. Either the researchers save some money, or they finish the project halfway and the money is almost gone, and then they write applications to ask for funds from their superiors.

Only applying for additional funding once and being able to complete the project is considered a satisfactory result.

For people like Zhang Wei, the funds have not yet been received, but the project has been completed. This is the first time in Meng Heming's life that he has seen him.

"Zhang Wei, are you trying to fool me? We are here at Tsinghua University, so we can't defraud funds by falsely reporting projects!" Meng Heming said with a questioning look on his face.

"Director Meng, look at what you said. I, Zhang Wei, also want to have face. How can I do such a thing as falsely reporting a project to defraud funds? If I really do this, even if you don't slap me, Principal Gu will also beat me. A meal! You should read the project report first!" Zhang Wei replied.

Meng Heming opened the project application and skipped the previous parts of project establishment and experiments. He directly found the paragraph introducing the project results and started reading.

"Nucleoside modification? Pseudouracilization? This is the modification of uracil in RNA into pseudouracil! The modified mRNA can enter the target cells without triggering an immune response!
So that’s it, this can be regarded as a achievement in mRNA editing technology! In such a short time, something was really made! Zhang Wei, you are so awesome!

Before the funding was in place, the results were produced first. This is the first time we have achieved great success. I, Lao Meng, have been engaged in scientific research for most of my life. Today is a stab in the butt and an eye-opener! "

When the paper is published, the author of the paper can directly explain to the journal that my paper has been reviewed by a certain distinguished scholar, which can directly greatly increase the gold content of the paper.

At least based on the level of the Department of Biology of Tsinghua University at that time, it was a remarkable progress to be able to achieve such results in mRNA editing technology.

Meng Heming continued to read the experimental results several times, frowned and thought for a while. He felt that the research results were not shocking, but they were still outstanding.

So Meng Heming said: "Since the experiment can be repeated and there is video, then there is no problem with this project. The next step is to write the paper.

"Director Meng, that's why I'm here! I'm thinking that I need to find a few influential scholars to help me review the manuscript." Zhang Wei said.

It would be even more ideal if you could find a master in the field to review the manuscript.

If you are a student, after you write your paper, you will usually give it to your tutor or instructor for review.

As for this paper, you should write it as soon as possible. After you finish it, show it to me. I will find a few authoritative professors in this field to serve as reviewers for you and check it carefully. "

The experimental records show that Zhang Wei's team was indeed conducting experiments step by step. The first experiment was indeed fruitless. Then Zhang Wei changed his experimental ideas and got the final experimental results.

The tutor or instructor will evaluate the content, structure, logic, language, etc. of the paper, and provide revision comments and suggestions to help students improve the paper.

Zhang Wei said, taking out another document and handing it to Meng Heming.

Although not many experiments were done during the whole process, the entire scientific research process was still very complete, and the final results were produced step by step, with no faults to be found.

"The experimental data are also complete?" Meng Heming continued to ask.

If students have other connections, such as knowing professionals in the field, they can also ask them to help review the manuscript.

"Keep it all!" Zhang Wei nodded.

"It hurts to open your eyes!" Zhang Wei said with a smile.

Scholars' papers will go through a similar process. They usually share drafts with colleagues, research teams, or academic partners and listen to their feedback.

"Don't worry, there is absolutely no fault in the experimental data. I did it again and videotaped the whole process, and the result is the same. I also copied a copy of the experimental record and report here. Can you take a look?"

Meng Heming took the experiment records and the experiment report and read them at a glance.

When the scientific research results are reported next year, you can submit this project, which can be regarded as a small highlight. If you are lucky, you might even get a second or third prize!
Thinking of this, Meng Heming asked: "Have you kept all the experimental records?"

It would be even more perfect if great scholars give some positive comments. When editors of journals see the comments of great scholars, they will definitely pay more attention to this paper.

Therefore, after scholars finish writing their papers, they also hope to find as high-level scholars as possible to review their papers.

This is true even for Nobel Prize scholars. Nobel Prize scholars can find other Nobel Prize scholars to be their reviewers. Such a paper, after passing through the hands of two or three Nobel Prize scholars, is then sent to the journal, and its gold content will be directly full. The three major journals will have to weigh it. Can you catch it yourself?

Zhang Wei wants to publish a paper, and of course he hopes to find a respected scholar to review it to increase the value of the paper.

When Zhang Wei published his paper for the first time, he did not find any influential scholars to review it for him.

Mainly because Zhang Wei didn't know anyone and couldn't find him even if he tried to find him.

Ordinarily, a newcomer like him cannot publish a paper in Science magazine without the endorsement of a famous scholar.

But graphene, a new material, has been hyped for twenty years, and its reputation is so great that even if the person who successfully made graphene is a rookie, Science will not reject this scientific research result.

This is like how humans have been hyping up the existence of aliens for hundreds of years. If one day someone really catches an alien, even if the person who catches the alien is mentally retarded, he will be interviewed by mainstream media around the world.

Later, when Zhang Wei published a paper on zero-knowledge proofs, it was recommended by a Turing Award expert. The Turing Award expert was willing to be the second author. This paper was very popular, and of course the "ACM Computing Survey" would not reject.

If this nucleoside modification paper cannot be endorsed by a significant scholar, it is likely that it will not be recognized by the three major journals, and may only be published in medical journals such as "Immunity".

After all, Zhang Wei is still a rookie in the field of biological sciences.

Of course Meng Heming understood what Zhang Wei meant. He nodded and agreed: "No problem. If you feel that the professors in our biology department are not important enough, then we can help you find an academician to review the manuscript. This will be done by the head office!"

"It's just an academician!" Zhang Wei showed a disappointed expression.

"What? Not enough academicians?"

"I want to publish a paper in the three major journals. For ordinary academicians, the weight is still a little bit lower. Director Meng, you should know many internationally renowned scholars, right?" Zhang Wei said.

"You need an internationally renowned scholar? Let me think about it. I know a lot of internationally renowned scholars, but they may not be willing to give me face!
Mainly because you are still a newcomer in the field of biological sciences. I'll take your paper to someone for review. I'll have to introduce who you are then!
Then I told people that you are a college student. When the internationally renowned scholars heard this, they thought I was just teasing them! Maybe even I will be scolded! "Meng Heming said.

"You can find someone who has a strong relationship with us! For example, Professor Shi Yigong. I remember that Professor Shi graduated from Tsinghua University! His alma mater asked him for help, but he could stand by and watch?" Zhang Wei said.

Meng Heming nodded silently: "Professor Shi is very close to our Tsinghua University. If we ask him to review the manuscript, he probably won't refuse, but I always feel that this is a bit of a moral kidnapping!"

"Aren't my scientific research results also the scientific research results of our Tsinghua University? Our scientific research results of Tsinghua University are also our scientific research results of China? It is only natural to serve your own country, how can it be regarded as moral kidnapping!" Zhang Wei successfully started brainwashing model.

Meng Heming, who had a full anti-cheat skill tree, did not accept this trick at all: "I finally understand, it is beneficial to you anyway, so just try to fool me!

Okay, when you finish writing the paper, I will revise it for you first. When the revision is completed, I will go to Professor Shi to review it, so as not to embarrass you if the quality of the paper is too low! "

"Director Meng, then we must keep our word!" Zhang Wei said, directly took out the paper, handed it over, and then said: "Please provide more comments and suggestions for revision!"

Seeing Zhang Wei hand over a few more pages, Meng Heming subconsciously asked: "What is this?"

"Thesis! Didn't you say that? When I finish writing the paper, I will give it to you to review. After you have revised it, go to Professor Shi. You forgot what you just said!"

"Have you even finished writing your thesis?" Meng Heming suddenly looked confused.

The results that Zhang Wei was able to produce in such a short period of time were incredible enough and completely exceeded Meng Heming's understanding of scientific research.

Who would have known that Zhang Wei not only produced results, but even wrote a paper? This is simply outrageous. It’s so outrageous that he opened the door to outrageous things!
Under normal circumstances, from the time of scientific research results to the writing of a paper, it can take anywhere from a few weeks to a few months. The more complex the project and the project with a lot of data, the more time it will take.

Of course, the writing ability and experience of the paper author is also a very important factor.

Especially for papers to be published in top journals, every word must be carefully considered. In the process of deliberating the paper, it is common for the author to read it repeatedly and memorize the entire paper word for word.

According to common sense, if Zhang Wei can take out a paper now, wouldn't he have started writing it a few weeks ago?
But at that time, this project had not yet started!

Meng Heming instinctively looked at the experiment report provided by Zhang Wei. It showed the time of the experiment, which was three days ago!
You just finished the experiment three days ago!
Have you finished writing your paper today?

impossible! Absolutely impossible!
You can write a shitty paper in three days! Just kidding me!
