Chapter 78: Which province are you the top scholar in?
Xu You had no idea what the "PRL" mentioned by Wang Xiangwu meant.
Xu You felt that it should be some journals that are better for publishing than "Nature" and "Science".
"You may not know what PRL is. Let me tell you this: although PRL is not as well-known as journals like Nature and Science, in terms of theoretical physics, PRL is actually of a higher level and is more in line with the direction of your paper."
After listening to Wang Xiangwu's words, Xu You basically understood what Wang Xiangwu meant.
Although the comprehensive level of "Nature" and "Science" may be stronger, they are not suitable for all research directions.
Wang Xiangwu wants Xu You to submit his paper to PRL, which means that in Wang Xiangwu's mind, Xu You's paper has reached the top level!
"Teacher, is my paper really that valuable?"
Xu You couldn't believe it.
"At least in my opinion. It doesn't matter if the manuscript is rejected. At least it will be fine if it is published in other first-tier journals."
"Okay, thank you, teacher!"
"Okay, I'll help you submit it to P RL. The review time may be longer, so don't worry. I'll let you know when there's news."
I thought about becoming an author of a paper in a top journal.
Xu You felt that this feeling was very wonderful.
This is Xu You’s first step into the scientific research circle.
After this, Xu You will do more scientific research and publish more papers.
In addition, Xu You also wants to make a name for himself in the field of application.
If your research results have no application value during your lifetime.
Xu You also felt it was a pity.
In this respect, Xu You and Lou Song are different.
Lou Song is the kind of student who can completely ignore practical applications and focus on studying various difficult theories.
Xu You not only likes to study theories, but also wants to realize the value of applications through his own theories.
…
At the end of August, Ji University officially opened.
Those freshmen who were admitted to Ji University reported to Ji University one after another.
Some of them were excited about coming to Jida to study, while others were sad about leaving their hometown.
But for Xu You, it was just a matter of moving from the doctoral student dormitory to Heqing College.
Xu You and Lou Song were packing their things in the dormitory, preparing to move to the new dormitory.
In the just-concluded IMO, Lou Song also won the first place in the world with a full score.
Fulfilled the promise they had made before.
"I've had a great time getting along with you over the past six months. We must keep in touch in the future."
"Of course, I will definitely ask you many math questions in the future."
"And let's play badminton together!" Lou Song said with a smile.
"That's right, wait for me to practice hard, and I will definitely beat you in a game!"
Although both of them were a little reluctant, they thought that they were still in the same school and there would be many opportunities to meet each other in the future.
There wouldn't be so many sad emotions.
After packing his things, Xu You found his new dormitory according to the address.
Heqing College is located in Building 35 of Ji University.
Here live students from all grades and majors of Heqing College.
Although Xu You has lived in Ji University for more than half a year, he rarely passes by here.
“It looks really good.”
From the outside, you can see that this is a very distinctive building.
It not only has the unique ancient style of Ji University, but also has a modern rhythm.
And its internal functions are very complete.
It not only has basic accommodation functions, but also has various learning and leisure spaces such as study rooms, discussion rooms, libraries, coffee bars, yoga rooms, gyms, piano rooms, etc.
It fully deserves the title of "residential college".
"208... Yeah, here we are."
After finding his dormitory, Xu You walked in dragging his luggage.
The dormitories at Heqing College accommodate four people , with beds arranged with desks underneath.
Except for Xu You, the other three roommates have already arrived at the dormitory and are chatting with each other.
"It looks like our dormitory is likely to be a top-ranked dormitory."
"Yes, there should be many top scorers in this year's college entrance examination coming to Heqing College. They say this is where top scorers gather. It seems like it's not a joke."
The other three people in dormitory 208 are Guo Haochen, Liu Rui and Zhao Xiaohui.
The three of them are also the top scorers in the science college entrance examination in Xiangnan, Shanghai, and Jijing this year.
They subconsciously thought that their other roommate was likely to be a top scorer in the college entrance examination.
Seeing someone coming in, the three of them looked at Xu You.
"You are Xu You, right?"
Before students enter the dormitory, the beds are assigned and each bed has a student's name on it.
This also allowed them to know Xu You's name in advance.
"Yes, I'm Xu You, hello roommates."
"Xu You, where did you get the top score in the college entrance examination?"
At this time, Liu Rui suddenly asked this question.
Xu You was also stunned when he heard this.
“I’m not the top scorer in the college entrance examination.”
Hearing Xu You's answer, the three were a little disappointed.
Originally they thought that they could gather four top scorers in the college entrance examination to form a top scorer dormitory.
However, after all, there are only a few top scorers in the college entrance examination, and it is difficult to gather them all in one dormitory .
Guo Haochen realized that Liu Rui's question was a bit impolite, and quickly smoothed things over:
"The questions and scores are different in each province. Some provinces have more high scores, and if you were in another province, you would be the top scorer in the college entrance examination. Xu You, where are you from?"
Guo Haochen guessed that Xu You must be from a province with a large number of college entrance examination candidates, otherwise he would not have been admitted to Heqing College.
"I'm from Shengcheng, Ningjiang Province."
Hearing this, the three of them felt a little surprised again.
Ningjiang Province is not considered a big province in China. Even the top scorer in the college entrance examination in Ningjiang Province might not even make it into the top 10 in some big provinces.
From this point of view, Xu You might be the type of person who was admitted to Heqing College with low scores.
"Our dormitory is really nice. It has such a large space. We can study in the dormitory without disturbing each other."
Zhao Xiaohui also realized that it was not appropriate to continue the conversation on the college entrance examination, so he quickly changed the subject.
"Yeah, it's really good."
In fact, Xu You prefers the double bedroom in the doctoral dormitory, as the space there is much larger than that of a four-person dormitory.
But after all, it is an undergraduate dormitory, and it is impossible for only two people to live in it.
And if there are more people in the dormitory, it will be more lively.
"University is really different. There are so many leisure activity areas in the dormitory building."
"Yes, and I heard that Heqing College has mixed dormitories, and floors 4 to 6 are female dormitories. If I can find a girlfriend here in the future, we can go back to the same building together every day, which would be a wonderful feeling." Liu Rui said with a smile.
After the four of them chatted for a while, they got to know each other.
When it was time for dinner, the four of them decided to go to the cafeteria to eat together.
At this time, a student in the corridor saw Xu You and recognized his identity at once.
"Xu You!"
