Chapter 178: Letter of Inquiry from Xiaguo Academy of Sciences
Shen Yanchun soon received a call from Principal Zeng. He used the same excuse, and Principal Zeng was obviously a little unconvinced, but Shen Yanchun still insisted on this statement and asked him to hold a meeting to get things clear.
The matter was so serious that Principal Zeng naturally had to hold a meeting to get to the bottom of it.
At this time, Lu Shan was reading the paper forwarded by Dean Zhou Wei. He was laughing as he read it. What was this?
It's a patchwork quirk, this and that, only the beginning makes sense, but the rest doesn't make sense.
Overall, it's a mess, but the above is enough to scare the foreigners. The logic is all explained by Lu Shan, how could he not see this?
Lu Shan knew very well what Tan Ming was thinking, but he didn't care. What was fake was fake. He wanted to see how this matter would develop.
An emergency meeting was held soon. Based on the existing information, Principal Zeng only saw that the team had made epoch-making achievements, so this meeting became a small meeting for discussion and commendation.
"I believe everyone knows why we asked you to come here today. The Materials and Chemistry team has developed a new material and successfully published it in a foreign scientific journal. Let's applaud the Materials and Chemistry team first."
The entire materials and chemistry team was called to the meeting. Everyone had a complicated expression, but they still smiled and applauded together.
Shen Yanchun was so proud that he felt like he could blow away the ice that had been there for thousands of years, but he had to hold it back, otherwise someone might see through it and know about it in advance.
Tan Ming was really smiling happily. He had read many laws and was mentally prepared. Even if Lu Shan protested, it would be useless.
Principal Zeng asked Tan Ming to say a few words.
"I am grateful for the support of the school and the guidance of the leaders. The success was very sudden. I was not sure after submitting the paper, so I didn't tell anyone in advance..."
Tan Mingzhen took all the blame on himself, and Shen Yanchun breathed a sigh of relief. This was the best way, as he could clear himself of any connection with the matter.
After Tan Ming finished speaking, Principal Zeng asked everyone what they thought.
Zhou Wei, the dean of the School of Computer Science, was confused. Is that all? What about Lu Shan?
Chen Qiyi had been holding back for a long time before speaking. He frowned as he looked at Shen Yanchun and Principal Zeng and said, "Why isn't Lu Shan's name on it? The mathematical model here was provided by Lu Shan. This must be a fact, right?"
Hearing this, Principal Zeng subconsciously said: "Lu Shan's name is not here? Really?" Then he looked at Shen Yanchun.
"Well, it's like this. Lu Shan's contribution is mathematical and is auxiliary in nature in the research. But we are also grateful for Lu Shan's efforts, so the School of Materials and Chemistry will conduct internal commendations, and the specific rewards will be paid by the School of Materials and Chemistry." Shen Yanchun hesitated.
Chen Qiyi refused to accept it: "What? That's it? You just made a contribution and got rid of the signature issue?"
"Old Chen, don't say that. Auxiliary is auxiliary, it has always been like this. Look at the research in many disciplines, they are all done in this way, which one doesn't use mathematics? But not all of them have the names of mathematical contributors added to them." Shen Yanchun curled his lips and told the truth.
Chen Qiyi was speechless, as if there was nothing wrong with it. Indeed, no paper specifically said that so-and-so made any contribution to mathematics.
"That's right, isn't it? Contemporary academic research still relies on computers. Do we all have to thank Turing for his contribution? Do those who do chemistry research have to thank Mendeleev first? Of course, if Lu Shan is in the same position, we can write it down."
"You are just arguing! Those people are the founders of their own schools. How can you expect every mathematics participant to be at the same level?"
Seeing that things were turning into a stalemate, Principal Zeng quickly waved his hand to dissuade them.
"Alright, alright, stop arguing. Lu Shan's contribution cannot be forgotten. Without the mathematical model, it would not be possible. The School of Materials Science and Engineering has also shown sincerity, with internal praise and substantial rewards. Dean Shen, you must make a sincere plan when you go back. You cannot treat Lu Shan unfairly in terms of reputation or material. Show the plan to Dean Chen first! Dean Chen, do you think this is a good idea?" Principal Zeng's Tai Chi was better than Yang Luchan's, and Chen Qiyi was speechless immediately.
Chen Qiyi thought to himself that he must keep an eye on Shen Yanchun and not let his plan fool him. Shen Yanchun had gotten through the crisis thinking that he could be compensated, but he couldn't tell when. If Dean Chen urged him, he would delay it. As long as he didn't ask for a solution on the spot, he would still have the final say.
Dean Zhou Wei was very curious: "I have a question, who made the computer's calculation model? No students in our college are involved..."
Hearing this, the materials and chemistry team looked embarrassed. Finally, Shen Yanchun looked at Tan Ming, who calmly explained, "The computer operation model was also made by Lu Shan. He made it while working on the mathematical model."
"By the way? Dean Shen, I'm waiting for your proposal." Chen Qiyi spoke angrily, while Zhou Wei was shocked. Such a great contribution was actually "missed" and the material chemistry team was too greedy!
Principal Zeng was a little embarrassed and annoyed at this time, but he had just broken up a fight and couldn't slap himself in the face now, so he moved on to the next topic.
The meeting went on very quickly. After the meeting, Chen Qiyi walked away very quickly without talking to anyone. Zhou Wei chased after him.
Principal Zeng looked at Shen Yanchun and said nothing. Shen Yanchun already knew what Principal Zeng meant and made a few promises.
Tan Ming was very happy. Lu Shan was definitely going to lose! Even if Chen Qiyi was dissatisfied, it wouldn't change the outcome. ...
Going back a little bit, when Tan Ming was rushing to publish his paper, Xia Guangming was so busy that he lost his mind.
He wrote a report to ask for policy, and then immediately started working on Lu Shan's paper. He wanted to publish Lu Shan's paper in "Xiaguo Science and Materials Science".
There is indeed a little selfish motive here. This magazine is run by the Xiaguo Academy of Sciences. Publishing Lu Shan's paper will add luster to this publication, and it is an honor for the magazine.
At the same time, the journal is also the top scientific journal in Xia Country, so publishing it would not be a disgrace to Lu Shan's paper.
Moreover, although the materials were not developed by the Xia Kingdom Academy of Sciences, Lu Shan’s materials are too important to the Xia Kingdom. The Xia Kingdom Academy of Sciences is also the place where Lu Shan made his first academic report. So it makes sense.
Xia Guangming planned to publish it in his own journal first, then publicize Lu Shan, then lead the cooperation between Xiaguo Academy of Sciences and Lu Shan, and then choose important foreign journals to submit the article.
But I didn't expect that just after I woke up in the morning, someone called me from overseas to ask about my situation.
"President Xia, this is Cai Hua..." Vice President Cai Hua was in the United States investigating materials, and Xia Guangming was surprised to hear him call. But the long-distance call proved that there was something important, so Xia Guangming listened quietly.
Cai Hua didn't waste any words: "Has the paper from Jiangzhou Institute of Materials Science and Engineering been published in the country?"
"No, it's being proofread and prepared for publication in our journal."
"This is strange. The small paper has been published in SMALL before the big paper has been published."
"What? That's impossible. I still have the paper!"
"I'll send you a copy! Jiangzhou Materials and Chemical Engineering College is a bit outrageous. Isn't this Lu Shan who developed the materials? How come there is no Lu Shan's name on the food?"
"okay!"
Xia Guangming suppressed his anger and opened the electronic version of the "SMALL" journal sent by Cai Hua. After reading the first few pages, he realized that this was Lu Shan's paper. Then he quickly scrolled to the end and found that there was indeed no Lu Shan's signature!
If Xia Guangming could read a few more pages, he would see the problem, but that would not affect Xia Guangming's anger.
At this time, Xia Guangming could no longer sit still, and immediately convened an emergency meeting, informed the materials team of the Academy of Sciences of the matter, and then issued the paper.
"That's outrageous! This is clearly Lu Shan's achievement, but Jiangzhou University didn't even give him his name!"
"He's really good at stealing credit. We have to speak up for Lu Shan on this matter! Otherwise, who will do research properly in the future?"
"Everyone wait a moment, why is this paper a little different from what Lu Shan said?"
Xia Guangming was already furious, and waved his hands: "What's the difference? When you open the beginning, it's all Lu Shan's ideas. This is a short essay, so it must have been simplified, but it doesn't change the fact that I copied Lu Shan!"
“I mean the content is a bit… Oh, never mind. It is indeed plagiarized from Lu Shan’s paper!” This member wanted to say that the mathematical model in the latter part did not seem to match the experimental model, and that there were some discrepancies between the experimental results and the experimental design, but plagiarism had been established and the rest was not important.
"Stealing academic results with students is really a step backwards!" Xia Guangming slammed the table, and immediately sent an inquiry letter to Jiangzhou University in the name of Xiaguo Academy of Sciences.
It was said to be an inquiry letter, but in fact it was a letter of accusation. When President Zeng saw the letterhead, he thought it was a letter of commendation from the Xiaguo Academy of Sciences. Unexpectedly, he was shocked by the words inside!
It records in detail the time when Lu Shan wrote his paper, the time when he gave his speech, and also investigates in detail the time when his essay was published. When the two are compared, it is obvious who plagiarized whom. At the end of the letter, the inquiry letter asks Principal Zeng to investigate the whole situation and give a reply as soon as possible.
Below the inquiry letter was a personal letter from Xia Guangming, which Principal Zeng opened with gritted teeth.
In the letter, Xia Guangming pointed out the key points of the investigation to Principal Zeng.
First: Why the results are Lu Shan’s, but Lu Shan’s name is not on the foreign paper?
Second: The paper was first published in a foreign journal without the permission of the Academy of Sciences, although it was the first academic report made at the Academy of Sciences.
The third point is: whether Lu Shan knew about it or not, and whether the college knew about it or not.
This is indeed not a letter of inquiry, but a letter of criticism. Principal Zeng has seen the seriousness of the matter from the official letter and the letter from Xia Guangming. If he does not handle it well this time, it will be a big scandal in the academic community. Whether he knows about it or not, this matter will not end well!
"This Shen Yanchun! He caused me such trouble! It's so abominable!"
Dean Zeng immediately called everyone from the School of Materials Science and Engineering to come over. He was about to explode.
