Last night, Xu You finally found the inspiration for the formula derivation through splicing together a large number of information fragments in his mind.

As long as he saw this formula, Xu You could immediately think of the corresponding image.

"Sounds incredible enough. Can you show me?"

"certainly."

Xu You naturally did not shy away from Qiao Sen, and generously showed the formula and derivation process to Qiao Sen.

Qiao Sen looked at Xu You's derivation process on paper, and his brows were furrowed.

"To be honest, I don't quite understand it."

Qiao Sen worked very hard, trying to understand Xu You's train of thought.

Even so, Qiao Sen could only understand a small part of the whole process, and couldn't fully understand Xu You's thinking at all.

And Xu You wanted to explain to Qiao Sen, but found that he didn't seem to know how to explain.

It is difficult to understand Xu You's thinking without going through these experimental processes and repeatedly thinking about the connection between these experimental data.

"Teacher, if you do all the experiments and think about the connection between these data again and again, I believe you will understand them."

Hearing Xu You's words, Qiao Sen also smiled.

"These experiments can't be repeated casually. It's a pity that my ability is limited and I can't help you judge whether this theory is correct. I don't recommend you to find other experts to look at it. After all, if there are more people who have read this theory , it’s hard to say what’s going to go wrong.”

Xu You also understood the meaning of Qiao Sen's words.

Not everyone, like Qiao Sen, is worthy of Xu You's trust.

If it was copied by someone else, it would be troublesome to explain it.

"Xu You, I have been with you for so long, and I definitely have confidence in you. I suggest that you sort out this result and submit it directly. It is estimated that those editors will not be able to determine whether your theory is correct or not. When the time comes Let them decide whether they can publish it."

Xu You was also inclined to such a choice, and asked Qiao Sen:

"Teacher, in terms of this achievement, which journal is suitable for submitting?"

"The ones with the highest impact factors must be "Nature" and "Science", and the school will give you the highest bonus for publishing papers in these two journals. But for your article, I do not recommend selecting for "Nature" and "Science" ". Because N/S prefers popular science articles, your article is too professional and purely theoretical, and N/S will basically not publish purely theoretical articles."

Xu You didn't care much about the bonus, after all, it didn't make much sense to give Xu You a bonus of hundreds of thousands.

"Then teacher, is it more appropriate to vote for PRL?"

Xu You still remembers that the first project he did with Wang Xiangwu was to vote for PRL.

"Yes, my suggestion is to vote for PRL. PRL is the real top journal in the physics field, and the scientific research results published are very solid and rigorous. For example, the detection of gravitational waves, which won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2017, was published in It’s on PRL. And PRL is a letter-type journal, so the review process will be faster, and you don’t have to wait for a long time like submitting to “Nature.”

Thinking of the achievement of gravitational wave detection, Xu You couldn't help feeling excited.

Is this achievement of my own hopeful for the Nobel Prize in Physics?

However, Xu You calmed down quickly. It's hard to say whether he can pass the audit. Why do you want to go so far.

In the following days, Xu You started the intense work of writing the thesis.

For letter-type journals like PRL, the number of words in the paper is much less than that of ordinary SCI.

But because of this, the article needs to be very short and concise, and use very concise language to explain complex issues clearly.

It is also a very big test for the author's expressive ability.

In just 3,500 words, Xu You spent a long time polishing it over and over again.

Xu You didn't submit the paper until he was completely satisfied with the article.

After submitting the thesis, Xu You could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Anyway, this subject of mine has finally come to an end.

Xu You was a little worried about whether the reviewers of PRL would reject the paper because they could not understand his own theory.

After all, Qiao Sen couldn't understand his own theory well.

The reviewers of PRL may have stronger professional ability than Qiao Sen, but not too much.

However, thinking of myself now, I already have a relatively rich resume, and I have published many articles on PRL and N/S.

I believe that those reviewers will not easily reject the manuscript even if they cannot fully understand it.

And after submitting this paper.

Xu You didn't plan to start a new project anytime soon.

Because the time is about to expire.

In this semester, Xu You still needs to deal with more than 20 exams.

If all goes well, Xu You will be able to prepare for his undergraduate graduation defense next semester.

The review before the end of the term was easy and enjoyable for Xu You.

Compared with scientific research work where it is difficult to determine the direction.

For the end-of-term review, you only need to read the book and do the questions.

With such an intensity of study, Xu You doesn't need to go back to the rented house, as long as he stays in the dormitory, he can completely solve it.

Xu You's roommates can finally see Xu You as an undergraduate again.

"This semester, Xu You has to take more than 20 subjects... I feel that I have already struggled enough to review the ten subjects."

"Xu You came back to review the final exam after finishing the research project. It's like the feeling you have just finished fighting the boss in the game, and then come back to brush mobs."

"It's true, no matter how many mobs there are, they are not at the same level as the boss. Guess who will be the second in the academy this time."

At the end of the term this time, Xu You still successfully completed the exams for each subject within 30 minutes.

For Xu You, this period of time can be said to be used to adjust his status, and to deal with credits by the way.

Two reviewers are facing an article and exchanging opinions with each other.

"Can you understand what's inside?"

"Seriously, I can only understand part of it."

"Yes, so do I. But I think the significance of this article is extraordinary."

"Yes, I think so too."

The reason why they have such an idea is because this article explains the mechanism of high-temperature superconductivity.

Moreover, it is not just to elaborate from a certain angle or a special case.

Instead, use a general theory to explain all high-temperature superconducting phenomena.

In addition, the author of this paper also made them feel important.

Xu You from Huaxia Jijing University.

This 19-year-old young man with oriental mysterious power unexpectedly published nearly ten papers in several top journals within one year.

And there is no water injection at all, and each paper is very hardcore.
