Chapter 56 A chilling conjecture
While eating in the cafeteria, Lu Liang received a rare message from Ruan Shishi.
Lu Liang remembered that the first time he added Ruan Shishi to the Penguin account was at the beginning of his freshman year, when the classmates got to know each other.
But after adding it, I basically never used it.
After all, everyone is in the same class and attends classes in the same classroom. We usually don’t look up or down. Even if something happens, we basically talk about it in person, so there is no need for Penguin number to contact us.
My review has been approved by my supervisor, and I can submit it directly (happy).
Lu Liang briefly glanced at the message from Ruan Shishi, and then replied lightly: Congratulations.
You know, my instructor read it for a long time and couldn't find any flaws in that review.
Ruan Shishi sent a message again.
Ruan Shishi usually seems to be introverted, but after getting a little familiar with him, she seems to have endless things to say.
“The needle doesn’t poke.”
Lu Liang's reply was still absent-minded, because he was standing in front of the cafeteria window, wondering what to eat tonight.
Is it fried meat with pineapple or fried eggs with cherry tomatoes?
Sometimes, Lu Liang really wanted to open the canteen chef's Tianling lid to see what was inside.
How crazy one must be to develop such a dish.
Why don’t you make the isatis root instant noodles!
Finally, Lu Liang found a place to sit down with a large bowl of chili.
Compared with fried meat with pineapple and scrambled eggs with cherry tomatoes, the meatless fried pork with chili seems not that difficult to accept.
There was a ding dong sound.
Lu Liang's cell phone received another message from Ruan Shishi.
Thank you for helping me revise my review today. I'll treat you to dinner another day.
This is the highest gratitude from Ruan Shishi’s heart.
After all, we are all students, and we still rely on the living expenses received from home. Gifts that are too expensive cannot be given, and are inappropriate, so treating them to dinner has become the first choice.
Ruan Shishi knew that if Lu Liang hadn't helped her pick out all the areas that needed to be revised in the review today.
If she wants to submit this review, it will probably take until the Year of the Monkey to revise it.
There's no need to eat. Just give me a red envelope for the money.
But Lu Liang didn't even think about eating.
Money fan, you must have fallen in the eyes of money. Ruan Shishi couldn't help but complain.
Lu Liang did not refute.
Although this little money is already a drop in the bucket to him.
But who would have too much money?
After hurriedly cleaning the food on the plate, Lu Liang walked towards the library.
In the next few days, Lu Liang spent most of his time in the library except for his normal classes every day.
Because of this, Lu Liang often met Ruan Shishi these days, so the two of them gradually communicated more.
Student Lu, which journal do you think my review is suitable for submission to?
In the library, the crackling keyboard sounds stopped.
Lu Liang raised his head and glanced at Ruan Shishi next to him.
Regarding Ruan Shishi's question, Lu Liang just thought about it for a moment, and then replied: Judging from the current situation, it is still possible to submit to an ordinary journal.
Ruan Shishi frowned slightly: Can I only submit to ordinary journals? Do I also want to submit to core journals?
Then the quality of your article is not enough.
Ah, I think the quality of my articles is quite good. Ruan Shishi said with some melancholy, holding her cheek.
That's because you haven't read enough articles. After reading too many articles, you will only wonder, did you really write such rubbish articles?
Lu Liang used the calmest tone and caused great real harm to Ruan Shishi.
As expected, Lu Liang had just finished speaking when he felt a murderous look from Ruan Shishi next to him.
Lu Liang, who had a strong desire to survive, immediately changed his mind: Of course, if your article wants to be submitted to a core journal, there is no chance, but you still need to add some content to your article.
What's the content? This sentence really aroused Ruan Shishi's curiosity.
For example, intestinal flora. Lu Liang simply pointed out the direction.
Ruan Shishi couldn't help but frown: Intestinal flora? I've read relevant research, and it feels so complicated!
It's just complicated.
Indecisiveness, quantum mechanics; unclear mechanism, intestinal flora.
It can be seen that the complexity of intestinal flora is almost equivalent to quantum mechanics in physics.
So far, no research has been able to fully explain the role of intestinal flora.
Various research institutions also have different opinions.
Even regarding the intestinal flora, Lu Liang once heard a conjecture that made people shudder.
This conjecture is based on a conjecture extended from the second brain-gut.
Sometimes, what you want to eat is not necessarily what your brain wants to eat.
But the bacteria in your gut want to eat it!
Intestinal flora can regulate the brain to a certain extent, which has been studied for a long time.
For example: after the bacteria in the intestine break down the food residue in the intestine, they will produce a short-chain fatty acid called acetic acid.
This acetic acid suppresses appetite by stimulating the intestinal vagus nerve, transmitting intestinal signals to the hypothalamus, and inhibiting neurons in the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus.
In other words, they are full and do not need you to continue eating.
Sometimes you have a poor appetite. It may not be that your brain doesn’t want to eat, but that the bacteria in your intestines don’t want to eat!
The intestinal flora can produce more than just acetic acid.
Of course, this is just a conjecture, and there is currently no research to confirm it.
After finishing the conversation with Ruan Shishi, Lu Liang once again focused his attention on the review in front of the computer screen.
After several days of hard work, his review was finally completed.
As the review is completed, the sources and experiences in the system are added.
[Source point +0.3, experience +30]
The source points increased by 0.3, and he has now accumulated 1.7 source points.
Compared with his previous research paper on Beishuke drug, his review has 0.4 fewer source points.
Is it because of the level of the articles that the source points are so different?
Lu Liangliang began to think about it. The paper on Bai Shuke's drug research was submitted to The Lancet, and his review was only going to be submitted to a core journal.
The gap between the two is not huge.
Therefore, the increase of source points in the system will naturally make a difference.
However, Lu Liang was satisfied with being able to harvest 0.3 source points.
Moreover, writing articles provides not only sources, but also experience.
With these 30 experience points filling up the last experience bar, his level was raised from lv2 to lv3.
In other words, from now on, every time he analyzes a drug, he can obtain three completely different drug synthesis routes for the drug at the same time.
This gave Lu Liang much more room for maneuver.
The next upgrade from lv3 to lv4 requires a full 1,000 experience points.
There is a long way to go!
