Chapter 34 Experiments and “Thesis”

Experimental results take time.

But the writing of the "paper" can be started in advance, and the modular, conceptual, and framework content can be put on paper first.

The paper that Link wants to write is an experimental paper, which generally consists of an introduction, main text (experimental principles, experimental materials, equipment and methods, experimental process, experimental results, analysis and discussion), conclusion and references.

The introduction is an outline and requires a clear explanation of the reason, purpose and importance of this experiment.

Including but not limited to what experiments were performed?Why do this experiment?How was the question raised?What is its theoretical and practical basis?What problem was solved and what are the application scenarios of the experimental results?What work has been done by predecessors or others?What issues remain unresolved?What can be gained from this experiment?
Finally, the final creative results of this experiment will be given.

This part of the content can all be written in advance.

Before starting an experiment, a researcher should think about the above issues and achieve certain results.

The text part is rich in content. If you wait until the end of the experiment to start writing, you will be in a hurry and prone to omissions.

Two small items, such as experimental principles and experimental materials, equipment and methods, can be written in advance. Doing so can also help sort out ideas.

In addition to the experimental data, the experimental process, such as the experimental plan, technical route, and operation steps, can be written in advance, or written while experimenting.

Subject to change at any time.

It is convenient and as error-free as possible.

The experimental results cannot be written in advance. You have to wait for the experimental data to come out before you can decide how to deal with it, how to present it, and what result you will get at the end.

It cannot be set in advance, otherwise it will be prone to bias when processing experimental data.

The analysis and discussion part is very important, its purpose is to express the significance of the experimental results.

It should reflect the confirmation, documentary and originality of the experiment.

This part has extremely high requirements on the theoretical foundation of the "paper" author, and it can well reflect the breadth and depth of the author's knowledge structure.

The conclusion part is usually given or written after the experiment is completed, the experimental data has been processed, and the overall analysis and discussion of the experiment are done.

References can be written in advance. If there are many references, they can be deleted and if there are few, they can be added.

Link will be busier than before in the next few days.

There are classes to attend, part-time jobs to do, experiments to do, and papers to write.

Fortunately, Link manages his time very well, and has the highest level of "Occlumency" to help sort out his mental state and control his emotions, so that he won't have problems like irritability, anxiety, and worrying about gains and losses that often occur to researchers.

Otherwise, Link's hairline would be very dangerous.

How can you be a qualified researcher if you don't lose a lot of hair, right?
Jasmine witnessed Link's overwhelmed state, and felt a little worried about her future.

As she became more and more absorbed in studying, and as she learned more and more knowledge, Jasmine's understanding of wizards became deeper and deeper, and it was no longer superficial.

She also fully understands why the official wizards who are the teachers all come and go in such a hurry, for fear of wasting even a second of time.

The civilization of the wizarding world is highly developed, and the levels are also very clear. Wizard apprentices, official wizards (level [-] wizards to level [-] wizards), sages (level [-] wizards to level [-] wizards), great sages (level [-] wizards to level [-] wizards) , Saint (beyond level nine).

How many wizards are crowded on this heavenly avenue, but the resources are limited, if you want to get more resources to help yourself advance faster, you have to roll up.

How to roll it?

Conquer the heavens and worlds externally, and produce research results internally.

There are only two ways to go.

But those below the sage cannot take the path of foreign conquest.

Because formal wizards have problems such as delays in casting, deviations and even backlash after breaking away from the rules of the wizarding world.

Only by being promoted to a sage and establishing a strong connection with the world will of the wizard world can one use the extension of the world will of the wizard world in the world of the heavens to cast spells normally.

Therefore, all official wizards are research madmen, scrambling to produce research results.

what?
You said you don’t want to curl up and want to lie flat?

Yes, absolutely.

It's just that you don't curl up, and when you lie flat, don't blame other people who are curling up and flying to exploit you.

At that time, not only will you not be able to live a comfortable and comfortable life, but you will also have to be someone else's cow and horse, and become a consumable for others' promotion.

Jasmine doesn't want to become a consumable at all.

Since she was a child, she was well-clothed and well-fed, and she has witnessed the miserable life of those inferior people in the territory who lost their freedom and were exploited by the nobles.

She didn't want to live like that.

"You have to work hard!"

Jasmine took a look at Link who was concentrating on editing and revising the "paper" without hearing anything outside the window, and encouraged herself in her heart.

Even if the Lingxiao flower wants to cling to the oak tree, it has to take root in the earth and work hard to grow.

……

It seemed like just a blink of an eye.

Link didn't notice the passage of time, it was already Wednesday of the eighth week.

That evening, after returning to the dormitory from his part-time job at the Third Botanical Garden, Link routinely used the Secondary Mist and Rain Technique twice and the Birthing Technique once on his team.

When the seeds of Group A, Group B, Group D, and Group E showed no sign of germination, the seeds of Silver Star Flower in Group B happily broke through the soil and germinated.

As for group C (normal seeds, one secondary fog and rain technique every morning, two secondary fog and rain techniques in the evening, and one birthing technique every two days), they had already germinated on Monday.

Link counted the data and recorded the germination time, germination duration, and germination success rate of his group one by one.

A brief comparison of the data between Group C and Group 8 shows that when both used Link's germination method, the normal seeds in Group C germinated two days earlier than the problem seeds in Group 79.2, and the germination success rate was also 71.1% higher. Group C was [-] %, the own group is [-]%.

Considering the sample size issue, if the sample is expanded, the number of germination success rate can be more accurate.

However, these two figures also have certain validity and reliability.

So far, Link's "thesis" has basically taken shape.

Because the experiments of Group A, Group B, Group D, and Group E have already been done by predecessors, many related "papers" can be found in the high-level literature library.

If the data from those documents were quoted directly, Link could publish it after slightly modifying the "paper".

But Link decided to work slowly and carefully, waiting for the experiment to be completed, all the data to be collected, and then fill the "paper" with real data, and then publish it.

details make a difference.

Whether the numbers are real or not can sometimes be inferred.

Link didn't want to lose the big deal because of the small gain, pick up the sesame seeds but lose the watermelon, and end up with the reputation of falsifying the "paper".

Once the reputation is bad, it is like water splashed on the ground, and it is basically impossible to get it back.
