Mechanical Flesh

As a second-level researcher registered with the academic committee, Qi Yuan already has the qualifications to contribute independently.

Moreover, since this thesis is not approved by the Biology and Mechanics Research Laboratory, the signature at the back of the paper does not need to add the name of the laboratory, and does not need to share the corresponding rewards with the laboratory.

However, Qi Yuan is not prepared to do this, a little reward will not affect anything at all, the important thing is his attitude.

I've been bullied like this, I didn't forget to add the name of the laboratory, you have the guts to trouble me with the crap of malicious competition?

Qi Yuan believed that with the current form of public opinion, even if he did not add the name of the laboratory to the end of the paper, the project review team representing Mo Lin's chief will would definitely not speak out for Xiao Yu on this matter.

But what Qi Yuan wanted was not just for them not to happen in this paper, but also for them to keep silent on the second and even third papers that followed.

These benefits are the hush money for the project review team. Even if they don't want it, they have to accept the hush money.

It took Qi Yuan two days to write the thesis. He originally planned to submit it directly to "Hope", but after thinking about it, he finally found Tan Qiu with the thesis.

"Hope" is the top journal issued by Doomsday Arms, not all papers are eligible to be published on it.

Ordinary third-level research projects, if you choose to submit to the second-level academic journals, such as "Machinery House", "Energy" and other sub-journals, you can basically pass, but the academic points that the sub-journals can bring And academic points, there will be less accordingly.

Although the third-level project I snatched from Xiao Yu is more valuable than ordinary third-level projects, it is only a third-level project after all, and it is far less powerful and subversive than the previous energy matrix. Contributed to "Hope", There is a certain possibility of rejection.

If this paper can get Tan Qiu's recommendation, even if it is not a formal recommendation, the possibility of being published on "Hope" will be greatly increased.

After Qi Yuan found Tan Qiu, he directly explained his intention of coming.

"You completed a third-level project of Xiao Yu's?"

Tan Qiu looked at Qi Yuan in surprise. It has been less than twenty days since Qi Yuan got the news about Xiao Yu's research project!

"This is a project paper!" Qi Yuan handed over the paper prepared by Qi Yuan to Tan Qiu.

Tan Qiu took the paper and looked at it, and found that the content of the paper was not the three research projects that Qi Yuan had applied for before, but the third-level project that Xiao Yu advanced the most smoothly.

After taking away the relevant materials of Xiao Yu's several projects from Qi Yuan, Tan Qiu also had a brief understanding of these projects.

Although Xiao Yu's character is not good, his research strength is there. He doesn't have enough strength. Even with Feng Qian's support, he can't climb to the position of a third-level researcher.

Xiao Yu has spent nearly half a year on this project, but he still hasn't got the desired result, which is enough to prove the difficulty of this project.

A third-level research project of this difficulty could not last even a month in Qi Yuan's hands, so it was completed.

Looking at the detailed experimental data and results, Tan Qiu suddenly had the illusion that Qi Yuan in front of him was not a second-level researcher at all.

It's a fourth-level researcher disguised as a second-level researcher. Only in this way can he explain his incredible research strength.

"You want to publish this paper in Hope?" Tan Qiu asked.

Qi Yuan nodded.

"I completed this project at my own expense, and the material consumed has already exceeded 500 academic points. If it is published in "Hope", I can barely return the book, but if it is published in a secondary journal, I will lose everything. "

Tan Qiu glanced at Qi Yuan with a half-smile, the cost of the experiment, in front of a fourth-level researcher, does not have too many secrets, only a little calculation is needed to calculate Qi Yuan's investment in this project .

The consumption of each project is different. For the same project, different people do it, and the experimental cost is also different.

If there are many failures and many detours, the cost of the experiment will naturally rise. This depends entirely on the strength of the researcher. There was once a third-level researcher who was unwilling to have his project application rejected by the review team. He paid out of his pocket for research, but in the end the research didn't go well, and the whole project turned into a bottomless pit, consuming all the money he had accumulated over the years.

Therefore, unless it is a special case, even a fourth-level researcher rarely pays for project research out of his own pocket, because the cost of this thing is difficult to predict, and it will become a bottomless pit if he is not careful.

Xiao Yu not only invested nearly half a year in this project, but also the special funds allocated by the laboratory reached 400 academic points. Not a small number.

Xiao Yu needs to consume so many materials, which is determined by his technology.

But this does not mean that Qi Yuan also consumed the same amount of experimental materials as Xiao Yu.

Qi Yuan's ability to complete the entire project in such a short period of time means that his experiment went smoothly without any detours. In this case, Qi Yuan's experiment cost will also be reduced to the extreme.

Judging from the comprehensive research time and various experimental data, Qi Yuan's consumption in this project will definitely not exceed 200 academic points.

For other second-level researchers, two hundred academic points is of course not a small amount of expenses, but for Qi Yuan who just completed the transaction with the Black Moon Merchant Guild, two hundred academic points is not a big number at all.

Seeing Qi Yuan's upright look, Tan Qiu didn't expose it, but said lightly: "The quality of this paper is not low, and it can indeed be published in "Hope", but even so, the academic points it can bring, It is also far inferior to your previous paper, and it will not exceed sixty points at most."

"It's only sixty o'clock?" Qi Yuan frowned.

"For a sixty academic project, Xiao Yu spent half a year. Is the time of a third-level researcher so worthless?"

"Do you think academic points are so easy to obtain? Do you think you can get hundreds of academic points by just publishing a paper?" Tan Qiu asked.

"Your dissertation is just an example! Most of the dissertations for third-level projects don't earn sixty academic points!"

"If you publish on a secondary academic journal, you will earn even fewer academic points!"

Hearing this, Qi Yuan could only shrug his shoulders.

"Sixty points is sixty points, plus the reward of academic points, it can barely be regarded as a bloodbath. It's better to sell the secondary papers at a discount."

For most second-level researchers, although academic points are precious, they are not their main goal.

The academic points brought by the dissertation are what they are looking for.

A thesis with 60 academic points can usually bring about 30 academic points, which will be their ladder to the third-level researcher.

For others, investing in project research without going through the project application is simply an irrational behavior. For example, Qi Yuan's behavior of engaging in academic competition with third-level researchers at his own expense is even more stupid. If one is not careful, You'll lose your underpants.

Even if Qi Yuan completed the research project with the least cost by copying homework, the reward from the academic committee can hardly be said to have recovered the cost of the experiment.

However, in the long run, the returns brought by this paper are worth the effort.

Because in addition to the rewards of the academic committee, the dissertation can also bring other benefits.

If other people want to use the results of this paper, they must pay a certain amount of academic points to the academic committee. These academic points will also be allocated to the academic committee, the laboratory, and the academic committee in a ratio of 2:3:5. Have the first author of the paper.

If it is a highly universal project achievement, such as Qi Yuan's first thesis, the subsequent academic point income will even far exceed the reward given by the academic committee.

Tan Qiu put down the paper in his hand.

"You took over Mo Sheng's task, and you also took a large deposit, why don't you try your best to activate the dance of death, and waste time on Xiao Yu?"

"Xiao Yu robbed me of three projects, and he has to pay a corresponding price. As for Mo Sheng, I have my own way to explain it." Qi Yuan said.

Tan Qiu heard the words, and didn't talk too much about the dance of death. She believed that Qi Yuan would not do stupid things.

"This project was taken away by you, which is enough to make Xiao Yu's heart hurt for a long time. What are you going to do next?" Tan Qiu asked.

"Will Xiao Yu stop those dirty tricks?" Qi Yuan asked.

"No!" Tan Qiu gave a negative answer.

"With Xiao Yu's personality, being robbed of the project will only make him crazier. Although Xiao Yu suffered a loss this time and let out a sigh of relief, it cannot solve the fundamental problem."

"Me neither!" Qi Yuan said calmly.

"How long are you going to fight Xiao Yu?" Tan Qiu asked.

"Xiao Yu still has a few projects in hand!" Qi Yuan smiled.

"Since Xiao Yu can make me have no projects to apply for, of course I can also let him have no projects to research!"

"Xiao Yu must regret messing with you."

Tan Qiu smiled and shook his head. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, who would have thought that a second-level researcher could do this.

If Qi Yuan really took Xiao Yu's remaining third-level projects away, then from now on, Xiao Yu would become the laughing stock of the entire laboratory, and he would never even think about raising his head in front of Qi Yuan.

More importantly, for these projects, Xiao Yu not only wasted time, but also wasted the funding of the laboratory, which had a fatal impact on his weight points. Once Xiao Yu's weight points were reduced, his subsequent project applications would be affected. If the weight points become negative, Xiao Yu may even be relegated.

Xiao Yu may not care about his face, but he has to value his weight points. If he is really downgraded from a third-level researcher to a second-level researcher, then he will never be able to stand up again in his life.

Demotion is definitely the worst punishment next to death for a researcher.

"Xiao Yu is just a small fish pushed out by Feng Gan. I don't care about his life or death. What I really want is to make Feng Gan pay the price!" Qi Yuan said.

Tan Qiu shook his head.

"Although you are talented, you are too far away from Fenggan. Over the years, Fenggan has worked hard and dug a wide moat for himself, which is enough to resist most threats."

"Remember, unless one day you are promoted to become a fourth-level researcher, you must not take the initiative to attack a fourth-level researcher. This is my advice to you!"

Qi Yuan nodded. It is one thing to be forced to fight back under Feng Qian's oppression, but it is another thing to take the initiative to attack Feng Qian. If a fourth-level researcher does not even have this special status, he will not have So many people want to advance to the fourth-level researcher.

After the two chatted for a while, Qi Yuan got up to say goodbye. After Qi Yuan left, Tan Qiu picked up the paper left by Qi Yuan again and began to study it carefully.

With careful reading, Tan Qiu's eyes gradually showed a hint of surprise. Qi Yuan's entire experimental design was very mature, and it didn't look like a project completed in a hurry.

Tan Qiuyin had a feeling that maybe not long before, Qi Yuan would come to him with a paper on another task under Xiao Yu's name, just like today.

Thinking of Qi Yuan secretly sharpening his knife against Xiao Yu, Tan Qiu suddenly remembered another thing.

The news of Zhong Yunhai going to Xiao Yu's laboratory has already been spread, and Feng Qian's intentions are not hard to guess. He wants to take advantage of the opportunity of this project to stuff several third-level researchers of his direct descendants into the project team, and strive for a stepping stone. Opportunity to enter Tier 4.

Both Xiao Yu and Zhong Yunhai are third-level researchers, and their research direction is similar to that of Mo Lin's project. It only takes a little effort to seal the dryness. They really have a good chance of joining the project team.

However, Xiao Yu suppressed Qi Yuan recklessly, and instead, Qi Yuan took his salary from the bottom of the pot. If Qi Yuan continued to find out several papers targeting Xiao Yu before the project officially started, even if it was a third-level project, Xiao Yu's research strength would be great. He will be questioned by everyone, and it is very likely that he will miss this free ride to the fourth step.

Tan Qiu couldn't help but shook his head.

When that day really comes, Xiao Yu will probably be able to regret it.

With Tan Qiu's recommendation, and the influence of Ai Xin's personal comments, Qi Yuan's new paper passed the review smoothly.

When the latest issue of "Hope" was sent to the Black Steel Shelter, Xiao Yu was still nervously conducting experiments with Zhong Yunhai, and did not pay special attention to the news of "Hope".

But that afternoon, someone specially sent him a copy of the latest "Hope".

Xiao Yu, who was interrupted by the experiment, was obviously a little unhappy. In order to get an admission ticket before Chief Mo Lin's big project started, he and Zhong Yunhai worked tirelessly to advance the progress of the experiment these days, but the progress of the experiment did not It went smoothly as expected, but this time he was disturbed again, which made Xiao Yu's face a little ugly.

"What happened?" Xiao Yu asked sullenly.

An assistant researcher who was pushed out to take the blame lowered his head and didn't dare to say too much, so he could only pass the "Hope" in his hand.

"This is the latest issue of Hope!"

Xiao Yu's eyes turned cold.

"You interrupted my experiment just because of this "Hope"?"

The assistant researcher lowered his head, his body trembled, and he explained tremblingly: "This issue of "Hope" published a paper independently published by Qi Yuan!"
