Xu Yun's thesis was just in time for the latest issue of .

Early the next morning.

Inside the executive lounge of the Rosewood Hotel.

Xu Yun sat at a relatively quiet dining table with a glass of whole milk in front of him, calmly video chatting with Tian Liangwei.

"Xiaoxu."

At this time, Tian Liangwei in the video seemed to be having breakfast as well; he waved the cup in his hand at Xu Yun:

"You weren't at school these past two days, so you don't know how good the soy milk business is at East Garden Restaurant in the mornings; it sells out in no time."

"Tsk, tsk, I have to say, the taste of stone-ground soy milk is truly different."

"I was really foolish before, even thinking about turning donkeys into donkey meat pies..."

Seeing this, Xu Yun also took a sip of milk and smiled:

"Exactly, these are purebred local donkeys, much better quality than the ones in modern cities, right?"

Many people in today's village workshops often complain about donkeys not being able to pull the grindstone.

This actually has a reason.

After stepping into the new millennium, with the rising demand and prices for donkey-hide gelatin, the demand for local donkeys has greatly increased.

As a result, the country introduced many Pakistani donkeys for crossbreeding, creating meat donkeys.

With this approach.

The number of donkeys increased, but their endurance from a species standpoint decreased significantly.

Even those donkeys at the village markets are often crossbred hybrids.

But Brother Lv is different.

He's a purebred local donkey, strong and sturdy, and his milling performance naturally far surpasses modern donkeys.

Afterwards, Xu Yun and Tian Liangwei chatted casually for a bit, then Tian Liangwei's expression straightened, and he asked:

"Xiaoxu, there's less than ten minutes until publication time, are you nervous?"

Xu Yun smiled slightly, spread his palms towards him, and said:

"Not a drop of sweat, what do you think?"

On the other side of the video.

Tian Liangwei was initially stunned by what he said, then nodded approvingly:

"Not bad, a commendable attitude."

As everyone knows.

Generally, before a journal is officially published, the publisher often sends advance copies to some authors.

This process is also known as journal proofs.

However, the speed of publication for Xu Yun's thesis was very fast, with some 'queue-jumping' nature.

Therefore, the journal wasn't able to send advance proofs, only releasing them about three days before publication.

The headquarters of is in John Bull; the three days might not be enough to reach the homeland, plus Xu Yun is currently in Yangcheng.

So, he regretfully missed the privilege of receiving advance copies firsthand, unable to show off to acquaintances over coffee.

Of course.

Not being nervous is one thing.

As the journal is about to be released, Xu Yun's mood was still a bit agitated.

After all, this is his first publication in a tier-one journal, and the content is biology, a field he just started tackling in this lifetime.

Though is not ranked as high as CNS in the field, its impact factor is noteworthy.

Many times.

Some top university professors spend a whole year or two just to have a paper included by , and when it's published, it might even receive a major promotion on the university's website.

Xu Yun changing his primary specialty to biology in this lifetime and publishing a paper in as lead author at 24—that definitely causes some waves inside.

"Pity that the focus this time is on Imidacloprid...."

On the other side of the video.

Tian Liangwei thought of something, sighed with slight regret:

"Even though this is the fifth generation of research reports, it's still doomed to have higher commercial value than academic value."

"Its citation value will certainly be low, and the level of discussion within the field is bound to be limited; it would have been better if it were about Thiamethoxam..."

Xu Yun knew that older generations like Tian Liangwei often have ideals that prioritize fame over profit, so he proactively explained:

"Oh, teacher, isn't it good for the commercial value to be high? I'm actually hoping it won't be cited."

"Although our product in the pest control field is destined to face initial attacks, the attention it receives is already quite low compared to other industries, which is a good thing."

"As the saying goes, amass food before calling yourself king."

"Besides, if you want academic value, isn't it simple? If the new microorganism we are studying can be successfully commercialized, winning an award might still be tough, but publishing in is sure."

"You, you..."

Tian Liangwei smiled and pointed at Xu Yun with his index finger, didn't criticize harshly, but was clearly skeptical of his student's optimism.

is an old comprehensive journal, commonly seen as a mid-tier dividing line, often referred to by many Key Immortals as 'a watery journal'.

Realistically, whether is watery mainly depends on whether you have academician connections from Eagle:

Eagle academicians are authorized to submit up to 4 papers in through "internal channels," and this unconventional process allows authors to choose who will review their paper and how to respond to reviewers' comments.

As a result, many see it as an internal club for Eagle academicians.

But for those without Eagle academician connections, becomes very, very difficult.

You could put it this way.

With Eagle academician connections.

The publishing difficulty is about the same as .

But if you don't have Eagle academician connections.

The difficulty will be akin to .

Therefore, from Tian Liangwei's perspective, Xu Yun's words are indeed a bit overly optimistic.

No way, after all, he doesn't know Xu Yun has a Halo.

Just then, while the two were chatting, the time slowly reached 8 AM Yanjing time.

The time difference between John Bull and Beijing is eight hours, so it's just midnight in John Bull.

Almost at the stroke of 8.

Xu Yun and Tian Liangwei simultaneously went silent.

Thousands of miles apart, they both pressed the refresh button on the homepage.

Publishing day's midnight journal homepage, this is the only way, apart from advance copies, to see the latest papers.

As everyone knows, Knowledge Network usually takes about three months after the paper is published to formally include it on the site.

Xu Yun had already set up a ladder in advance, so he quickly refreshed to see the updated latest issue of papers on the homepage.

Then he slowly scrolled the mouse down.

"DDInter: an online drug–drug interaction....not this one...."

"synthetic binding protein....also not...."

"zoujinbukexuezhenhaokan....still not...."

"Effect of Imidacloprid on Periplaneta americana...found it, it's this one!"

Once he found his paper, Xu Yun immediately clicked in.

The account he logged in with is Ke Da's official account, so he didn't need to pay and could directly read the full text.

"PERIPLANETA AMERICANA,which belongs to Blattaria and Blattulidae,is a worldwide urban pest..."

".....This kind of pest not only pollutes....."

"mature females of PERIPLANETA AMERICANA release two types of sex pheromones: the volatile sex hormone " blatteaquinone(3,6-dioxocyclohexa-1,4-dien-1-yl)methyl 3-methylbutanoate)..."（To avoid confusion over water content, 7 English characters equal one Chinese character, punctuation is not counted）

A few minutes later.

Xu Yun lifted his head from the screen, satisfied.

The layout level of is very high, most content consistent with the final review.

Only a few places were simply modified.

These modified contents do not affect readability, instead, they better suit Western semantics.

It is noticeable that the journal's emphasis is maximized.

Of course.

A significant part of this owes to Tian Liangwei, the impressive significance of an H-index of 77!

And just then.

Two messages suddenly popped up on Xu Yun's phone placed beside him.

One was from Xiaorong:

"Dr. Xu, the VUE hook buried in advance on the homepage has feedback."

"Within ten minutes, Neon IP access recorded 18 times, Eagle 11 times, Germany 6 times, Gaul and Italy 4 times, and other countries had sporadic records."

"Your paper is in the eleventh position on the homepage, but the click rate in those ten minutes has already surpassed the combined total of the first two papers."

"Clearly, an invisible war has already begun."

And the other message sender, the note reads [Ke Da Innovation Fund - Zheng Zu].

[Ke Da Innovation Fund - Zheng Zu]:

"Dr. Xu, the production line has arrived at Lu Prefecture, and it's ready for production acceptance."

.....

Note:

Three goals set at the beginning of the month; the first one has been achieved, 1500 might be difficult, but 1000 is very close.

Don't forget, if there's 1000 monthly pass by the 8th, there will be an update for the whole month～
