Master Archaeologist

Chapter 29 Dissertation

When the right path was discovered, everything fell into place.

The six people in the [reproduced millet noodles project group] were divided into three groups and conducted a control group experiment.

By comparing different cooking times, different lengths of noodle pressing, and small improvements in the production process, in less than ten days, everyone basically figured out how to make millet noodles.

Even sorted out a very detailed table of test results.

Using different production methods, the final effect is very different.

The main one is the change in noodle length.

If the noodles are extruded 5-10 cm, they will easily break into 1-2 cm after cooking.

The extruded noodles are more than 15 centimeters, and they will be broken into 2-5 centimeters when cooked.

Only when it is squeezed to more than 30 cm, it will be broken into a length of 15-20 cm after cooking, which is just right for eating.

Even if longer noodles are squeezed out afterwards, they will break into about 15-20 cm after cooking.

In the extrusion part, this is already the best result.

However, Wang Weida and Lin Ya's steamed noodles control group also conducted detailed experiments on the steaming steps before the dough was extruded into noodles.

After steaming for 1 minute, to steaming for more than an hour, Wang Weida and Lin Ya found that the millet dough was steamed for 15 minutes, and then squeezed with a bed, and it was possible to make millet that was more than 30 centimeters long after cooking. Noodle.

Finally, after adding the noodles and soaking millet that were not used in the first experiment, the subject team made noodles that can exceed 120 cm in length!

And in order to ensure the universality of the craftsmanship, Chen Han finally tried it with different millet varieties, and basically all of them can achieve this effect!

The bowl of millet noodles unearthed from the Lajia site is only 50 centimeters long.

When the research team was able to make cooked millet noodles with a length of more than 120 centimeters.

This bowl of millet noodles from 4000 years ago is no secret.

Facing a bowl of steaming millet noodles that had just been made and covered with meat chips, Chen Han took high-definition photos from multiple angles and declared the success of the experiment!
"Everyone, we have successfully reproduced the project of millet noodles!"

"As long as we organize our experimental process, the summarized production steps, and the different results produced by different methods into a paper!"

"Then you can submit to the core journals in China!"

Zhuang Yunpeng grabbed Chen Han's arm with golden eyes, and looked at him affectionately: "Junior Brother, my dearest Junior Brother."

"This paper, can senior brother work together?"

This year is the third year for Zhuang Yunpeng to study for a Ph.D. under Kong Jianwen.

As we all know, there are hard standards for doctoral thesis.

Although the requirements of various universities are slightly different, but in the Academy of Social Sciences, if you want to graduate with a doctorate, the requirements must be the highest.

As the first author, at least 2 papers must be published or accepted to be published in domestic core journals or important international journals in order to graduate with a Ph.D.

Otherwise forget it.

Therefore, the discovery of the Lajia ruins may be a great archaeological discovery that shocked China for the researchers of the Institute of Archeology of the Academy of Social Sciences, and it is an important research of extraordinary significance.

But for Zhuang Yunpeng, the Lajia site is a walking library of thesis materials!

In the past three years, Zhuang Yunpeng has only produced one paper in a core journal.

Moreover, I only had the opportunity to participate in the archaeological excavation of a Tang Dynasty tomb with my teacher last year.

Compared with the Lajia site, the Tang Dynasty tomb project he worked on last year is nothing compared to the big witch!
Now the [Re-engraving Millet Noodles Project Group] has restored the most sensational unearthed objects from the Lajia site.

For this achievement, any core journal in China will definitely rush to publish it, and it is impossible not to select it!
If Zhuang Yunpeng could not be tempted, he would be in hell.

It's just, it's not just him, the six members of the team, including Chen Han, are all doctoral candidates at the Institute of Archaeology, Academy of Social Sciences.

Which one of them doesn't want this chance to work?
Everyone looked at Chen Han eagerly, hoping that he, the leader of the research group, would show mercy and give everyone a hand.

Facing this pair of expectant gazes, Chen Han was really overwhelmed.

He coughed dryly, and said, "Uh, the corresponding author of this paper must be signed by Mr. Kong. Do you have any objections to this?"

"As for the first author, everyone has worked hard on this project, and it's really hard to say who has done more and who has done less."

"How about this, we don't divide the first, second and third authors, but arrange them in alphabetical order and list them in the first author."

Chen Han's bold words shocked the big guy.

This is really worth it!

Even Zhuang Yunpeng, who was eager to be the number one author, never thought that Chen Han would do this.

Generally speaking, if it is a paper completed by multiple authors, such as research reports, scientific research papers, patent research and development, etc., the name of the person who contributed the most to the work is usually signed first, that is, the first author.

The first author takes almost 80% of the credit for the entire paper, and only he can claim to be the creator of this paper.

The rest of the signatories can only be regarded as tool people who help and provide labor.

This paper cannot be regarded as theirs, and it cannot be used as a title evaluation or as a graduation thesis.

It’s just that due to the complexity and diversification of scientific research, some large-scale projects, such as biological research, environmental surveys, etc., sometimes involve hundreds of people, and everyone has to sign, so it is difficult to distinguish between one, two, and three authors .

At this time, the few people whose signatures are relatively high will be the first author by default, and sometimes they will be specially marked in the paper.

Chen Han was making a fuss, everyone signed their names side by side, but he didn't specifically mark who was the first author.

In this way, theoretically, all six people are the first authors.

And the six people said more, not more, and less.

It is a little more than the usual 2-3 people for the first work, but it is much less than those papers signed by dozens of people.

Although it is said that if you want to use it to judge your job title, you will definitely not be able to pass it.

But Zhuang Yunpeng and the others had the cheek to use it as a requirement for a doctoral thesis, and the tutor could pass by turning a blind eye.

Tsinghua University does not have such rigid standards anymore. The school thinks that you have done a good job in scientific research, so it can grant you a doctorate.

It's not too much for Zhuang Yunpeng and the others to brush aside.

The only one who suffered a little in this matter was Chen Han, who distributed a paper that could have been monopolized by himself to everyone.

After all, he is the leader of this project team, and he invited other people to help. He deserves the first author.

Zhuang Yunpeng was really sorry, and said embarrassedly: "Junior brother, this is not good."

"What's the matter, I just started my Ph.D. this year, and there are still many days to come. I may have a chance to write a thesis again." Chen Han waved his hand indifferently.

If he didn't have a system, he might treasure this paper.

But he is also a systematic man now!

Although so far, the system has not played much role.

But he believes that his future achievements will definitely not stop at the fact that he can't publish his doctoral dissertation!

Now give a hand to a few senior brothers and sisters, and after graduation, the senior brothers and sisters will go their separate ways, so this network will be saved!

Those who engage in scientific research work, sometimes they are actually fighting for connections.

But he doesn't care, the brothers and sisters are not shameless.

Lin Ya waved her hands and said emphatically, "Junior Brother Chen's name must be the first one, we just need to be in the back."

It is indeed a bit too much to arrange the signatures in alphabetical order.

Chen Han also knew that sometimes too much generosity would go too far, so he readily agreed.

"Okay, that's the decision."

"Work hard for a few more days, everyone, and sort out the paper as soon as possible. I will show it to the teacher for correction, and then I will submit it."

"I can't wait to let my domestic colleagues see this bowl of noodles from 4000 years ago."
