Haizhou.
The third nuclear industry summit was being held.
As the highest-profile industry conference in China, many big names in the controllable fusion field attended the conference. Among them were retired veterans like Academician Pan and Academician Zhou, as well as academic leaders like Academician Wang Zengguang and Academician Li Jiangang, who used to be at the fusion ignition site.
When the experimental reactor was first ignited, these people originally came from all over the world to fight. After the ignition was successful, a group of people packed their belongings and traveled all over the motherland. They didn't stay here for even a second.
Now that they were back at the same place, they obviously had to have a drink together.
The atmosphere at the dinner table was quite lively.
Professor Sheng Xianfu drank two glasses of white wine and was a little tipsy. He suddenly squinted his eyes and spoke emotionally.
"I feel like something's missing."
Professor Li Changxia, who was sitting next to him, smiled and said, "It's because Academician Lu isn't here.
I feel like something's missing too. "Even though Lu Zhou was invited to every nuclear industry summit, it seemed like Lu Zhou never showed up.
Even though Lu Zhou was invited to every nuclear industry summit, it seemed like Lu Zhou never showed up. Now that the third nuclear industry summit was going to be held in Haizhou, even Academician Pan Changhong, who had retired many years ago, came to support the conference. However, Lu Zhou still didn't show up. This made the "old comrades" feel a little lonely. The New 81 Chinese website was updated the fastest.

When Academician Wang Zengguang heard the conversation between the two, he smiled and said, "I met him once in Russia."
Sheng Xianfu immediately asked, "Oh? How is he now? "
"Him? He's doing great! No one is doing better than him! " Academician Wang smiled and waved his hand. He said, "Academician Lu has his own things to do. He's still at the golden age of scientific research, so it's normal that he doesn't have time to spend with us old guys."
At this moment, Academician Li Jiangang, who had been silent all this while, suddenly said, "Speaking of Academician Lu, I'm not sure if you guys have heard of him. I think he recently started a journal called 'Future'."
Obviously, Wang Zengguang had also heard about this matter. There was not even a trace of surprise on his face. He just smiled and said, "I've heard about it. I've already asked him to put some effort into it, but this guy doesn't listen to me. Such a large research institute doesn't even have a journal. Now that they've been tripped up by others, they only remembered about it. What have they been doing all this time? "
Sheng Xianfu was stunned. "Tripping?"
Academician Wang: "Yeah, his thesis was submitted to the IEEE Summit, but it was withdrawn by someone else."
Li Jiangang said with a slightly surprised expression, "The manuscript was withdrawn? This is the first time I've heard of it. "
Sheng Xianfu's eyes widened in disbelief. "Even Academician Lu's manuscript was withdrawn? What paper … No, what journal is so awesome? "
"It's the IEEE Summit, I think it's related to integrated circuit design. I'm not in this field, so I don't know the specifics. I think the thesis that was withdrawn had his name as the corresponding author. Anyway, it's not a big deal, but it seems like he can't take it lying down. Haha, but this is good, this guy is like this. Other than when it comes to scientific research, he's too lazy to do anything. "
Wang Zengguang was quite happy that a world-class journal was published. He even wanted to thank the IEEE for not giving him face.
After hearing Wang Zengguang's words, Academician Li Jiangang, who was sitting next to him, sighed and said, "Even Academician Lu's thesis was withdrawn, this IEEE is quite interesting."
Suddenly, he changed the topic and spoke.
"But speaking of Academician Lu's journal, we have to support him."
"Of course, I already arranged it for him." Wang Zengguang drank a glass of white wine and smiled as he said, "In the future, all research units in the China National Nuclear Corporation, including the 585 Institute, will submit their theses to Future as the top issue! All theses in the top issue will be used as a reference! "
Although Wang Zengguang said this under the influence of alcohol, his tone didn't sound like he was joking.
Many people, including Academician Li Jiangang, had a surprised look on their faces.
This is the China National Nuclear Corporation!
The giant in the domestic nuclear power industry!
If East Asia Power was in the power generation business, then they were in the construction of nuclear power facilities. These two companies each occupied half of the domestic nuclear power industry.
A nuclear power giant with hundreds of research units actually chose a journal that hadn't even been published yet as a reference for the selection, and they even chose it as the top journal …
Needless to say, this sounded a little shocking.
However, even though the scholars in the room were surprised, they didn't think there was anything wrong with this.
After all, the founder of the journal was the father of controllable fusion. Even though he hadn't been in this world for many years, no one doubted his authority in this field.
Even the current academic leaders in the field of controllable fusion, Wang Zengguang and Academician Li Jiangang.
After all, if it weren't for Lu Zhou, who knew how many years it would take for the fusion fire to be ignited …
"I trust Academician Lu's academic reputation and ability. If I can't trust him, then there are only a few people in the world who are more reliable than him." Academician Li Jiangang took a sip of white wine and sighed for a while. He then made up his mind and said, "I've decided. From now on, the Fuyang Material Research Institute will also include Future and its subsidiaries in the year-end assessment and title evaluation!"
With the research and development capabilities of the China National Nuclear Corporation and the Fuyang Material Research Institute, as well as East Asia Power, it was hard to say if Future would be able to continue publishing with the contributions of these three research units. At the very least, no one in the nuclear industry would be able to surpass them …
…
Lu Zhou, who was far away in Jinling, didn't know that his journal hadn't even been published yet, but his old friends had already "arranged" it.
In fact, it wasn't just his old friends in the controllable nuclear fusion field. After the news of the Future journal was released, the entire Chinese academic community was excitedly discussing this matter.
Future.
The name was Future.
This name was full of imagination, and people couldn't help but think of the top journals in academia — Science and Nature.
Even though Lu Zhou didn't publicly state which journal Future was targeting, people still couldn't stop themselves from thinking about it.
For many years, whether it was for title evaluations or performance evaluations, or even doctoral theses, foreign journals had become a consensus in the industry.
This wasn't just because the West held the right to speak in the academic community. In fact, because of globalization, most research institutes, whether they were in North America or not, were more or less working for the Americans.
Even though the United States wasn't the strongest country in some fields, just because the United States was the center of academia, whether it was for individual or collective interests, a scholar would always consider the key problems in their research and development direction or even the choice of research topic.
And what problems were the key problems?
This was obviously decided by the people who asked the most questions.
They controlled the vast majority of scientific research resources, journals, and industry conferences. In fact, they could decide which scholars were outstanding and which scholars could be promoted in their academic careers.
On one hand, the Chinese journals were so lousy that the founding institutions didn't even believe that the theses in the journals could be used. On the other hand, the reputation of the academic center was too strong. Even though they knew that it wasn't good to let others decide some things, most of the time, they didn't have much choice.
In the eyes of countless Chinese scholars, Lu Zhou's decision to establish Future was undoubtedly a challenge to the academic hegemony hidden in the background of globalization.
If he really succeeded.
In the future, Future would really become an existence on par with Science and Nature …
It was hard to say whether or not it could shake the academic hegemony established by the West since the Enlightenment, but it would definitely have an extremely profound impact on the Chinese academic environment …
…
In fact, Lu Zhou had wanted to establish a journal for a long time.
The reason why he didn't do it was because he didn't want to do it himself.
In his opinion, as a scholar, it was enough for him to just do his research. It wasn't good to be too involved. Moreover, he did not like to worry about those troublesome things. The best situation would be like Beep Beep Charging, where someone stood up and did something that he thought was good but did not have the energy to do it himself. Then, he would push the boat along with the current.
This analogy might be a bit inappropriate, but it was what it was like.
But IEEE actually withdrew his thesis!
Although he was smiling as if he didn't care, in fact, he was cursing in his heart.
Future editorial department.
The third phase of the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study had been completed, and there were too many empty departments and laboratory buildings. After Lu Zhou briefly looked at the research institute's map, he casually drew a circle on it with a pencil. He vacated a three-story building that was originally intended to be used as a library cafe and used it as the editorial office.
In fact, it was a bit too big to use the entire building for the Future editorial department. After all, the original design was to accommodate four million books and newspapers.
After consulting the opinions of several other board members, Lu Zhou finally decided to leave an area on the first floor to use as a book cafe.
Usually, when the researchers in the institute weren't busy, they could come here to drink something and chat with people in different fields.
It would also be great if he could experience the influence of the academic atmosphere.
Many great inspirations were often born inadvertently.
Lu Zhou had a deep understanding of this himself.
The location was decided, and the editorial department sign was quickly hung up.
Below the word "Future" was the official translation of its name, "Future", as well as a unique logo.
The words looked a bit sci-fi, but in a place like the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study, it didn't seem so out of place.
After all, the technology that came out of this place gave people a sci-fi feeling.
Also, it wasn't just the name that was domineering. The lineup of the Future editorial department was also quite strong. Whether it was the editor-in-chief or the ordinary editors, they were all well-known people in the industry.
It was worth mentioning that even though these people were poached from other journals by Chen Yushan, most of them didn't come for the salary. Instead, they came for the reputation of the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study and Lu Zhou's business card.
For example, the editor-in-chief standing in front of Lu Zhou.
His name was Yao Gong, and he used to be the editor-in-chief of a sub-journal of Nature. After he returned from the Thousand People Plan, he taught at a university in Beijing. However, when he heard that Professor Lu planned to start his own journal, he quit his job and came to join Professor Lu.
"… So far, we have registered a main journal called Future, as well as a total of 15 sub-journal series, including Future Materials Science, Future Physics, Future Mathematics, Future Nanotechnology, and Future Information Technology. It is expected that we will gradually increase this number to 27 within two years. Then, we will see if we can continue to expand based on the specific situation."
After reporting the work situation to Lu Zhou concisely, Yao Gong paused for a moment before continuing.
He paused for a second and said, "This is basically our current work situation. I have a small request for our journal. I don't know if Professor Lu can consider it. "
Lu Zhou smiled and spoke.
"You're welcome, just tell me if you need anything. I'll find a way to help you."
"Here's the thing. Because our journal has just been launched, I'm afraid it will be difficult to receive high-quality submissions. I'm thinking that if you have any articles that need to be published, why don't you submit them to us? "
After hearing Chief Editor Yao's request, Lu Zhou thought about it and felt like it made sense. He nodded and spoke.
"Okay, I'll send you the thesis later."
Chief Editor Yao was taken aback when he heard this.
"It's … already written?"
"Not yet." Lu Zhou shook his head and said, "But it's not a particularly difficult thing to do. It should be done soon."
Hearing this, Chief Editor Yao smiled bitterly in his heart and coughed lightly. New 81 Chinese Website Updates Fastest

"Um … Academician Lu, I don't mean for you to just write a random thesis. It's better to try to find content. Besides, isn't publishing a paper for the sake of publishing a paper the opposite of the original purpose of scientific research? "
When Lu Zhou heard Chief Editor Yao's worry, he smiled and waved his hand.
"Don't worry, I'm not that kind of person. It's impossible for me to fool you."
Chief Editor Yao hesitated for a second when he heard Lu Zhou's words. Even though he trusted Lu Zhou, he still had a responsible attitude.
"Um … Can I ask what you plan on submitting?"
Lu Zhou: "Is the proof of the Riemann conjecture okay?"
Chief Editor Yao: "…???"
