After improving the original experiment plan, Shen Kaiji's project progressed very smoothly.
In just three days, the experimental data was collected and analyzed.
Next, Liu Lang helped Shen Kaiji write his thesis.
Normally, a thesis would take at least half a month to write, edit, and finally draft.
However, with Liu Lang around, this time was greatly shortened.
With tens of thousands of professional books as support, Liu Lang's thoughts were very clear.
Before Shen Kaiji could react to what was going on, Liu Lang had already finished writing the framework of the thesis.
What Shen Kaiji needed to do was to fill in some experimental data and analysis results into the framework, then modify the format and add in the references.
Two days later, the final draft of the thesis was placed on the desk of Fei Jingsheng, the leader of the research team.
Fei Jingsheng was forty-two years old this year. He had studied in the Lighthouse Nation for his PhD. After graduation, he returned to Peking University to teach and was promoted to professor last year.
Shen Kaiji's nominal tutor was Hua Yuanliang.
However, Hua Yuanliang did not have much time to take care of him, so he handed him over to Fei Jingsheng.
Fei Jingsheng was Shen Kaiji's little mentor.
Normally, Fei Jingsheng would be the one to check whether it was an experiment or a thesis.
"This project was completed so quickly?”
Fei Jingsheng was surprised to see the thesis on the table.
According to the original plan, the experimental part of Shen Kaiji's project would last until the end of September, and the thesis would be completed by at least mid-October.
It was only the beginning of August now, which was more than two months early.
Fei Jingsheng couldn't help but suspect that Shen Kaiji had cut corners.
However, when he finished reading the thesis, he realized that the entire thesis was full of data and accurate conclusions. There were no problems at all.
"How did this kid do it?"
Fei Jingsheng was shocked.
In his impression, Shen Kaiji had always been a model of slow work. Every time he worked fast, there would definitely be problems.
But this time, it was really fast and good.
Moreover, this was not just good. It was especially good.
In terms of quality, this thesis was far superior to the previous ones published by Shen Kaiji in the core journals.
Fei Jingsheng was satisfied and immediately called Shen Kaiji to his office.
"Little Shen, you've improved a lot. This thesis is very well written. There's no need to revise it.”
Fei Jingsheng was not stingy with his praise.
"Really?"
Shen Kaiji was very happy.
"Besides, I think it's a waste to submit your thesis to a core journal. You can try submitting it to Cell.”
Fei Jingsheng said.
"Cell? Top journal Cell?" Shen Kaiji's breathing quickened.
Last year, the entire National Key Laboratory, more than a dozen research groups, and more than a hundred people only published three papers on Cell.
"The only flaw of your thesis is that the topic is a little conservative. It might not be published in the main issue of Cell, but there will definitely be no problem with the supplement. We'll take the thesis now and look for Professor Hua Yuanliang. We'll get Professor Hua to give us some suggestions.”
Fei Jingsheng stood up happily.
Although he wasn't the one who did this project, he still felt extremely honored as the research team leader. It would be even more glorious if the thesis could be published in the main journal of Cell.
"Professor Fei, there's something I have to make clear.”
Shen Kaiji stopped Fei Jingsheng.
"What is it?"
Fei Jingsheng asked.
"The first author of this thesis is Liu Lang.”
Shen Kaiji replied.
"Are you kidding me?"
Fei Jingsheng felt that Shen Kaiji was treating him like a fool.
It had been almost four months since the start of the project. The progress of the morning meeting was recorded.
As the team leader of the research project, Fei Jingsheng knew very well how much work Shen Kaiji had done.
As for Liu Lang, he had only been doing experiments with Fei Jingsheng for a week.
No matter what, it was impossible for Liu Lang to be the number one author. He wouldn't even be able to get the second, third, or fourth place, let alone the number one author.
"Professor Fei, I'm not joking."
Shen Kaiji did not hide anything and immediately told Fei Jingsheng everything that happened this week.
It included how Liu Lang helped him improve the experiment plan and get the experiment back on track, as well as how he constructed the framework of the entire thesis.
"Is what you said true?"
Fei Jingsheng subconsciously swallowed his saliva after listening to the story.
It was true that Liu Lang was a genius, but wasn't this too much of a genius!
"Professor Fei, do you think that if it was really my work, I would give it to someone else? This was a thesis that had a chance of being published in Cell!”
Shen Kaiji said seriously.
"This…Regarding the first author, have you told Liu Lang about it?”
After a moment of silence, Fei Jingsheng asked Shen Kaiji.
"Not yet, but everything has to be based on facts. Whether or not I say it, Liu Lang is the first author.”
In fact, for a moment, Shen Kaiji had thought of pretending that nothing had happened. However, he could not get past his conscience.
With Liu Lang's ability and talent, he might not care about such a thesis, but whether Liu Lang wanted it or not was another matter.
