Hearing Xu You's nonchalant answer, both Lin Shi and Luo Wenkun couldn't help sighing "I rely on it".

Even Lou Song shrugged his shoulders, saying that this is really unbelievable.

"No, Xu You, when did you publish another article in "Nature"? Is it really as simple as drinking water when you publish a paper in "Nature"?" Lin Shi said.

"I said before that Xu You is a god, but you still don't believe me. Now you know, this is simply not something a human can do."

"Okay, okay, go and do your work quickly, don't delay the publication of the thesis. I will take care of the project declaration, and you don't have to worry about it, Lou Song. I will contact you when there is news. Um, I’ll just create a group in a while, and if I have something to say, I’ll just talk about it in the group.”

"Okay, I'll trouble you then, I'll go first."

After coming to Qiao Sen's office, Qiao Sen and Xu You talked about some things that need to be revised in this paper.

There are not too many things that need to be modified, but besides these, Johnson also said some other things.

For the value of this paper, the editor of "Nature" also gave a high evaluation.

This was very rare in the past.

Although it seems that the superconductivity of iron atom clusters and the previous superconductivity of aluminum atom clusters seem to be somewhat homogeneous.

But in fact, in addition to the special structure of atomic clusters, the superconductivity of iron atomic clusters has another meaning.

Because iron is a relatively special metal with strong magnetism.

This is also a very special property in the field of superconductors.

This kind of superconductor with both magnetism and conductivity is likely to make a big splash in the field of molecular electronic devices in the future.

If it is possible to make some molecular electronic devices through this special superconductor.

It is possible to replace solid-state electronic components such as silicon-based semiconductor transistors to assemble logic circuits and even assemble complete molecular computers.

When studying this subject, Xu You didn't know that the superconductivity of iron clusters would be of such great significance.

After listening to Qiao Sen's narration, Xu You suddenly thought of something.

"Mr. Qiao, so the results of this project may be of some help to the field of superconducting quantum computers?"

"Yes, it is true in theory. Molecular devices assembled from such atomic clusters may be used to manufacture tighter integrated devices, faster data processing memories, and even be applied to quantum computers. "

Hearing Qiao Sen's words, Xu You also fell into deep thought.

Because such a property is closely related to the subject direction of the "sea island" quantum computer assigned by Qiao Sen's laboratory.

"Then Teacher Qiao, otherwise this paper should not be published on "Nature."

Xu You has just posted an article on "Nature", and he has already looked down on this kind of honor.

Anyway, it has basically passed the review of "Nature", which has affirmed Xu You's scientific research achievements.

Qiao Sen was a little surprised when he heard Xu You say that.

"Xu You, you don't need to have any psychological burden. This can only show that materials such as iron clusters may be of some help to quantum computers. Moreover, even if you post it, it does not represent other laboratories. Our research can be completely repeated. After all, many things cannot be reflected in the paper, and you don’t have to give up the opportunity to publish "Nature" because of these problems."

Although out of the consideration of the "Sea Island" project, it might be better not to publish "Nature".

But such behavior is undoubtedly a kind of moral kidnapping.

Qiao Sen also had no reason to help Xu You make a decision.

"Teacher, it doesn't matter to me to publish "Nature". Anyway, I have just published one. In fact, this experiment is relatively easy to repeat as a whole. Since my dad can make this kind of material, the United States Scientists can do the same. What I am worried about now is that the editor of "Nature" has already read this paper, so even if I don't publish it, the US may know about this research result?"

Xu You didn't particularly care about the honor brought by a piece of "Nature".

To a certain extent, as long as Xu You can obtain sufficient scientific research resources.

Xu You didn't care about those honors.

A lot of really great scientists.

They are also doing research silently, and will not receive a lot of attention like celebrities.

Xu You also yearns for such a low-key and fulfilling life.

However, Xu You worried that it might be too late to cancel the plan to publish the paper now.

"Because we are only in the stage of re-examination and return, and we have not yet reached the formal acceptance. Even if we don't send them the revised paper later, there is no problem in terms of the rules. If they think your paper is particularly good, they may urge you later. Let me ask why the revised paper has not been published. In this case, we need to give a tenable reason. As you said, even if it is not published, will the US know the research results? In principle, it must be It is confidential, but there are at least three reviewers who have read this paper."

Hearing Qiao Sen's words, Xu You also felt that there was still a possibility of news leaking.

"Of course, taking a step back, even if a reviewer of "Nature" told a researcher the news, and then the researcher started the experiment from the beginning and then published the paper, the cycle would be at least as short as It will take a few months. In this way, I will contact Academician Han Shubin to see what Academician Han thinks of this result, and then make follow-up plans."

"Okay, then I will trouble the teacher."

In any case, Qiao Sen still did not expect that Xu You would be so forthright that he could cancel the publication of a paper that had passed the review in "Nature".

Johnson couldn't help sighing again.

This time, Xu You surprised him again.

But this time, it wasn't because of Xu You's strong scientific research ability.

It's the kind of broad-mindedness that has the country in mind and can give up small profits for the sake of righteousness.

"Okay, then I'll contact Academician Han Shubin."

"Teacher, I'll also tell my dad to keep the material of iron clusters a secret for now."

"You're quite thoughtful. Well, go and talk to Professor Xu."

Qiao Sen had to admire Xu You's calm performance.

At this time, I can still think of reminding Xu Zhou of the confidential materials.

If it's someone else, don't even tell them that "Nature" has passed the manuscript.

Even if you tell them that the graduation thesis has been finished, they will be very happy, and maybe they have to run three laps around the campus to celebrate.

Xu You turned on the phone and left a message to Xu Zhou.

"Professor Xu, please keep the matter of iron cluster materials confidential. Before I give you the news, please do not release any results to the outside world."

Seeing Xu You's message, Xu Zhou was a little puzzled.

"What's going on? Has this paper been reviewed?"
