Chapter 65 – Li Yi's little thoughts

"The average activation time for the first generation body is 15 minutes, and for the second generation body is 10 minutes. The time of death is 1 hour, and the coverage rate within the range has increased by 64.7% compared to the fourth generation..."

In the biopharmaceutical laboratory, Qiu Sheng waved the experimental report in his hand, his face full of excitement as he said to Xu Yun:

"Old Xu, the fifth generation, the fifth generation! We have really developed the fifth generation of Pichuanglin!

Whether it's efficiency, insecticidal method, or coverage rate, it can be called the most perfect generation of products!"

Facing the excited Qiu Sheng and others, Xu Yun's heart was not calm either. After all, the birth of the fifth generation of Pichuanglin was of great significance, no matter from which perspective.

However, the experience accumulated from long-term scientific research allowed him to firmly suppress the fluctuations in his heart.

After a while, he took a deep breath and said:

"Old Qiu, my fellow junior and senior students, you have all worked hard in the past few days.

How about this, I'll treat you all tonight, let's go to Wanyan!"

Wanyan is a famous and high-end Anhui cuisine restaurant in Luzhou.

The average cost per person at Wanyan is about a hundred yuan, which is much higher than Xu Yun's previous plan of three to four hundred yuan.

However, considering the efforts of the entire team in the research and development process, as well as the vast commercial prospects of the fifth generation of Pichuanglin, there is no problem in raising the standard for the celebration banquet.

In any case, he can make up for the extra money himself:

Although Xu Yun has long forgotten most of his memories from his previous life, he has received many scholarships over the years.

Coupled with the reputation of being the top student in the Youth Class of the University of Science and Technology, the income from extracurricular tutoring is also considerable.

Although he doesn't have much money on him right now, it wouldn't be difficult for him to treat the research group to a meal by biting the bullet. The research group's funding can cover three to four hundred yuan, and in fact, Xu Yun himself can make up for the remaining four thousand yuan.

"Alright, let's celebrate!"

When Xu Yun announced that the dinner would be held at Wanyan, Tang Yiqiu, the girl, was the first to cheer happily, jumping with joy.

This was her first time participating in a formal project group, so naturally, she didn't have as many concerns.

However, the expressions of Zhou Peiyao and Li Yi and others were more complicated, or rather, their attention was not on the celebration banquet. Li Yi hesitated for a few seconds before asking Xu Yun:

"Xu Shen, now that the fifth generation has been successfully developed, can I ask which journal the research group plans to publish the paper in?"

Xu Yun glanced at him lightly and immediately understood the deeper meaning behind his words, and smiled:

"The paper? I plan to submit it to 'NUCLEICACIDSRES'."

As soon as the words fell.

Except for Qiu Sheng, who already knew the situation, the eyes of Li Yi and others widened immediately.

After a few seconds of daze, a strange light gradually appeared in Li Yi's eyes:

"'NUCLEICACIDSRES'... the journal published by Oxford University Press?"

Xu Yun nodded:

"That's right."

Upon hearing Xu Yun's confirmation, Li Yi's heart trembled!

In his original plan, there were actually two main purposes for joining Xu Yun's research group:

One was to get closer to Xu Yun, a potential stock. With Xu Yun's abilities, whether it was in business or research, he would be an important connection.

The second was to gain some project experience and make their resumes look better.

But now, with the development of the fifth generation product, the thoughts of everyone in the research group began to fluctuate.

They knew that they had no chance with the patent. This thing was obviously not something that a tool person could expect. At most, Qiu Sheng had a slight possibility, and the rest of them would be lucky to receive a red envelope.

When Li Yi was in his first year of graduate school, he participated in a professor's research group. The profit from the conversion of the results into a patent was over four million in a year, but they, the ones who did the groundwork, only received a red envelope of 1888 at the end of the year.

But besides the patent, there was another thing they had a chance to touch:

That was the authorship of the paper!

The first and corresponding authors were obviously not to be considered, and Qiu Sheng would definitely be the second author. But the remaining third author position was currently vacant...

You see.

The third author of a regular paper doesn't have much value, basically the same as any other person. Just tell you that there is such a person and that's it, it doesn't bring much actual value.

But the development of the fifth generation of Pichuanglin was different. It could at least be published in a second-tier SCI journal. If they could have their names on such a paper, it would be a huge gain!

And Xu Yun was preparing to submit a first-tier paper. Under the premise that Li Yi and others had a relatively solid foundation, this authorship might even become a turning point in their lives!

Li Yi's character was indeed upright, but being upright didn't mean being content. They were naturally willing to fight for what they could get.

If nothing unexpected happened, Xu Yun's achievement would soon spread among the leaders and graduate students of the School of Life Sciences.

At that time, there might be various people who would come to curry favor, spend money, or even seduce (the author has seen it with their own eyes), hoping to get a share of the third authorship.

Looking at Li Yi and others who seemed a little uneasy, Xu Yun didn't keep them in suspense. After all, this was a plan he had arranged long ago:

This novel is available on "pawread.com".

"Xiao Li, you and Xiao Zhou and the others work hard to organize the relevant data for me. When it comes to the defense of the paper, I will add everyone's names to the third author position."

Gurgle—

Hearing this, Li Yi swallowed hard, his lips trembling a few times:

"Senior, are you serious?"

"Of course."

Xu Yun could also understand Li Yi's current mood, so he patiently explained:

"I had planned to give everyone the third authorship from the beginning. If you don't believe me, you can ask Old Qiu, he can testify.

Of course.

Everything is based on the successful approval of the paper, otherwise, Old Qiu will be the only one benefiting."

Li Yi turned his gaze to Qiu Sheng, and Qiu Sheng nodded affirmatively:"Old Xu is right, just go ahead and do it. This guy may have an African face, but his character is decent, not shady."

With the double affirmation from Xu Yun and Qiu Sheng, Li Ying's previously downcast expression instantly changed, as if he had eaten a Snickers bar. He puffed out his chest and said to Xu Yun with full confidence:

"Senior, rest assured, I will complete the task!"

Then he picked up the experimental report, turned around and started to coordinate the summary statistics work with others.

After Li Ying left, Qiu Sheng looked at Xu Yun:

"Old Xu, did you just give away your triad work like that?"

"What else?"

Xu Yun casually picked up a book and used it as a fan:

"Old Qiu, I know what you want to say, but scientific research is not business. I don't care what other research groups do, but I definitely won't use my achievements for any favor exchange."

Qiu Sheng patted his shoulder and gave a thumbs up:

"Wow, that's ambitious. So, what's your next plan?"

Xu Yun pondered for a moment, slowing the fanning of the book:

"Now that the development and indoor testing are done, it's time to consider the issue of practical application. I plan to try it out on campus first. If there's no problem, I'll prepare to publish a paper."

"Um... That's a good step. Hey, what's the book in your hand?"

"Oh, this one? It's a new book by the top author 'Mysterious Big Watermelon' on Qidian, 'Rebuilding the Glory of the Human Race'. If you're interested, go check it out."

"? Didn't you say you don't do favor exchanges?"

"Yeah, I don't do favor exchanges in scientific research, but writing Python code is not included..."

"?!..."

.....

Note:

I'm afraid of being accused of padding the word count for money, so I'll explain. Qidian charges one coin for every 200 words. I added 130 words on top of the 2604 base, which is free content. There's no padding or money pit, and this is the only time I'll do this.
