Chapter 192: Teacher, is my situation normal?
Previously, when Jiang Hong helped Xu You apply for an increase in the library card borrowing limit, the library director restricted Xu You's borrowing time on the grounds that it would affect the circulation of books.
This time, the library director did not make any excuses and directly raised Xu You's library card borrowing limit to 100 books, and even restored the borrowing time to the normal 60 days.
Students like Xu You should be qualified to make the most of the library's resources.
"That's good. You read so fast, and borrowing fifty books at a time is not enough for you to read for a few days. You've almost finished reading all the books in the library."
“That’s still a long way off, but in a few years, I should be able to finish reading all the books I want to read,” Xu You answered seriously.
Next, Peng Jun pointed out the future direction of Xu You's study of informatics, recommended some relevant materials and courses, and gave Xu You several doctoral topics in informatics.
"Thank you so much, Professor Peng. Many of my scientific research results are closely related to the knowledge of informatics. If it weren't for you, Professor Peng, I would not know where to start learning."
Peng Jun smiled when he heard this. Compared to before, Xu You was becoming more and more eloquent.
"No, I just gave you some pointers. I didn't teach you any real knowledge at all."
"Direction is the most important thing. Knowledge can be learned anywhere. Then, teacher, I won't bother you anymore. I will ask you to help me after I finish these courses and those doctoral projects."
"Okay, that's no problem. Xu You, why don't you borrow a few books from me before you leave?"
Before leaving, Peng Jun subconsciously started to be polite with Xu You.
Peng Jun regretted it as soon as he said it.
What Xu You brought this time was an upgraded suitcase that could hold 100 books.
"No, teacher, I won't bother you anymore."
After all, this is not a library, and Xu You feels that he cannot always borrow books here.
If you can borrow a book, just go to the library and borrow it.
If you can’t borrow it, go buy it from Dong Ge or Dang Dang.
Anyway, Xu You now has more money than he can spend, and now he has his own house, so there is plenty of space to store books.
It is better to buy some commonly used books.
In the next few days, Xu You spent most of his time studying informatics.
Under the CET-4 study state, Xu You's learning efficiency became more efficient. He quickly finished each course and each book.
The level of informatics disciplines in system interfaces is also steadily improving.
The results of the final exams came out one after another , and Xu You still got full marks in many subjects, or close to full marks.
In the college rankings, Xu You continued to top the list.
Another good news is that PRL responded to Xu You's review comments.
The speed of this preliminary review was slower than Xu You’s last PRL application.
But when Xu You saw the reply from the PRL reviewer.
But this was somewhat unexpected.
"This time... there is no need to modify it?"
Originally, Xu You had already prepared to revise his thesis.
This is also a very normal thing in Xu You's many paper submissions.
To comply with the journal's requirements and to explain some of the reviewers' questions.
Being sent back for revision can be said to be an essential step.
But this time, the opinions given by PRL can be published directly.
After learning the news, Xu You immediately contacted Qiao Sen.
"Teacher Qiao, PRL gave the review opinion and said that it is ready to be published directly. Is this normal?"
When Qiao Sen heard the news, he was also very surprised.
In some cases where the review process is relatively fast, being able to complete the review and publish the manuscript within two months is already an incredible speed.
It is normal for some papers to take one or even two years from submission to publication.
Like Xu You's situation this time...
This was the first time Qiao Sen had heard of it in all these years.
"To be honest, this situation is not normal. I have never encountered it, nor have I heard of anyone else encountering it. PRL's review is still very strict. It is very normal for the submitter and the reviewer to exchange opinions for more than a dozen rounds. In this case, I can only say..."
After a pause, Qiao Sen continued:
"This can only mean that your paper is so outstanding. It is so outstanding that they can't make any comments on the review. I just hope that your paper will be published soon."
Listening to Qiao Sen's words, Xu You didn't know what to say.
Xu You knew that when in the flow state, his brain could reach an incredible magical state.
Make the most of your existing knowledge to solve problems that are usually difficult to solve.
It is very normal that others cannot understand your paper.
After that, Xu You’s paper was officially published in the next issue of PRL.
Not only that, the title of Xu You's paper also appeared on the cover of this issue of the journal.
It can be seen that PRL really attaches great importance to Xu You's paper.
But this time, the news of Xu You's paper publication did not cause much waves in China.
On the one hand, Xu You has published many papers.
The same news will no longer attract the attention of netizens as before.
On the other hand, Xu You’s paper was not published in “Nature” and “Science”.
Most netizens don’t know what kind of journal PRL is, nor do they know what it means to be able to publish a paper in it.
Many people think that only papers published in N, S, and C are the most significant.
But in the academic community of physics, Xu You's paper caused a great sensation.
Everyone in the physics academic community knows what Xu You’s research results mean.
"Oh my god, has the mechanism of high-temperature superconductivity been fully explained? This may be the most shocking achievement in the physics world in recent years, right?"
"Yes, even if we extend the time span a little bit, this evaluation is not an exaggeration. We have taken another big step towards understanding the secret of superconductivity."
"Next, it should be easier to discover superconductors. Now that we have solved the mechanism of high-temperature superconductors, I believe that room-temperature superconductivity is not far away."
"Don't be so optimistic. Explaining the mechanism and applying the theory are not the same thing. And no one can say for sure whether we can find a room-temperature superconductor under normal pressure."
"I spent nearly 10 million yuan to finally download the latest issue of PRL. I took a quick look and found that I couldn't understand it at all. Is there any expert who can explain it to me?"
