"Professor Li, here is your email, which was sent from the editorial department of Nature."

"OK, thanks."

In Li Mu's office, an employee of their college handed a package to Li Mu.

Li Mu nodded to him and thanked him, then took the package and returned to his desk.

The package sent by the editorial department of "Nature" is naturally the journal of "Nature".

Every author who submits an article to "Nature", as long as it is published in the journal, can get the journal for free.

This is quite normal.

Opening the package and taking out the journal inside, Li Mu shook his head when he looked at the Meissner effect experiment on the cover.

He was not very satisfied with this cover.

But thinking about it, how to use a picture to express the results of his paper does still require a lot of imagination.

It was probably still very difficult for the team responsible for producing the cover of this issue.

Shaking his head and thinking no more, he opened the journal and started reading.

Of course, he just took a casual look at it, mainly looking at the layout of his paper and other things, and then took a look at what was written in other papers of the same period.

When he opened the directory, Li Mu's eyes were like a scanner, quickly scanning out all the information on it and handing it over to his brain for analysis.

And soon, his attention focused on the name of the author of one of the papers.

"RuYu Li?"

With his analysis of the information, he could easily discover that the author's name had the same pronunciation as his sister.

And looking at the title of this paper, it seems that Li Ruyu told him that the topic she was working on was somewhat similar, which was about the study of human bioelectrical signals.

As we all know, when the human brain controls every muscle in the body, it uses the nerve current conducted in nerve cells.

According to this principle, as long as we can analyze the signals carried by these nerve currents, we can control the muscles of the human body by simulating this current, or we can translate the meaning of this signal and transmit it to the external artificial intelligence. In terms of equipment, let these artificial equipment replace human limbs to respond accordingly.

Obviously, this is very meaningful for those with disabilities.

This is why the results of this paper can be accepted and published by journals such as Nature.

"It's not really the paper she published, is it?"

Li Ruyu had never told him about this before.

With doubts, Li Mu turned to the page of this paper. On this page, he could see the unit where the author came from.

It is the School of Life Sciences of Beijing University, and the name of the corresponding author is also Li Ruyu’s mentor, Chen Shanping.

Li Mu couldn't help but touch his nose.

What can be basically confirmed now is the paper published by Li Ruyu.

It's just that this guy hasn't told him about it yet.

You have to call and ask.

However, just when he was about to dial Li Ruyu's number, he suddenly thought for a moment, finally stopped pressing the dial button, and then dialed another number.

That is Chen Shanping’s phone number.

Calculating the time, it is estimated that it is around four o'clock in the afternoon in China, so it is not too disturbing.

The call was dialed, and soon the call was connected.

Chen Shanping's voice came quickly.

"Professor Li, long time no see."

"Academician Chen, hello, hello, how are you doing lately?"

"It's good to worry about it. It tastes good when you eat it." Chen Shanping's smiling voice came over: "By the way, why did Professor Li have time to call me today?"

Li Mu smiled and said, "There is something I want to ask Academician Chen."

"Let me guess, it's about Ruyu, right?"

"Yes." Li Mu said, "I saw her paper in Nature."

"Haha." Chen Shanping laughed: "I knew you would definitely see that your article "On Superconductivity" was a paper from the same period."

"You two siblings are really model siblings. Each one is better than the other. Your sister's paper is considered to be of epoch-making significance for her field. You know, even Elon... That guy Musk called us and said he wanted to have some cooperation in this area."

Chen Shanping sighed with emotion: "Your sister, that is such a hard work, I can see it all."

Li Mu said: "I think it is inseparable from the guidance of Academician Chen."

Chen Shanping smiled: "My guidance doesn't count for much. At most, it can only provide her with some resources so that she can do some topics she wants to do. I actually don't even know the direction of this topic now." too much."

"Also, some of the experimental designs in her paper are so brilliant that I was amazed when I read them. I never thought she had such a talent in experimental design."

"Unbelievable."

Chen Shanping's praise allowed Li Mu to tell that his sister was also struggling in her corner.

In academic research, hard work may not be useful, but if you don't work hard, there is a high probability that it will not be of much use.

After all, even Li Mu uses his brain computer to read a large number of papers every day.

Of course, he still had questions and wanted to know more about it with Chen Shanping: "However, if I only learned about my sister's publication in Nature from Nature, she had never told me about it before. Academician Chen, Do you have any idea about the situation?"

"Oh? Didn't she tell you?"

Chen Shanping in the office thought for a moment, and then said: "I think maybe she wants to surprise you. Your sister has lived up to your original kindness."

He stood up, came to the door of the office, opened the door and looked outside.

There, Li Ruyu was being interviewed by the Beijing University newspaper.

As a student who successfully published "Nature" during her master's degree and was published in the journal as the first author, Li Ruyu certainly attracted the attention of the school. Similarly, she has certainly become a student role model and can be published in the school newspaper. on, to all their students, and to the outside world.

"Sister Li Ruyu, first of all, congratulations on your paper being accepted by Nature and published in the journal. I would like to express my congratulations to you first."

The person in charge of the interview was a student reporter recruited by the school newspaper, a female undergraduate student. Her eyes were full of envy when she looked at Li Ruyu. After all, the person in front of her was the first author of "Nature".

As for the fact that the corresponding author is a mentor, it is really normal, so anyone with a discerning eye knows that the person who really wrote this paper is obviously this beautiful senior sister.

Maybe it's a future female academician?

Moreover, this undergraduate female student also knew very well that sometimes, when the corresponding author puts the name of the supervisor, it can sometimes be regarded as a form of protection, not to mention that the supervisor Chen Shanping is also an academician.

Otherwise, if an ordinary tutor were replaced, the author of this paper would probably be a bunch of unknown people.

This student reporter had heard a senior member of their press team say that a senior student with a Ph.D. also published an article in "Science", and the instructor was not considered a very prestigious person, so what kind of dean of their college? The deputy deans, department heads, and other leaders who had never been to the laboratory put their names on the second author and the third author one by one. Then when their press release was sent out, the name of the doctoral senior who was the first author was even mentioned. I have never mentioned it, but I just said that under the leadership of Dean xx’s team, the paper was successfully accepted by Science.

At this time, Li Ruyu was wearing a white coat. Facing the reporters' congratulations, she smiled and said, "Thank you for your congratulations."

"Then let me ask, Sister Li, how did you publish this paper? We all know that "Nature" is one of the most famous academic journals in the world. It is as famous as "Science" and "Cell". The world famous CNS."

"Because of this, it is very difficult for a paper to be accepted by Nature, and the rejection rate is as high as 90% or even higher. Therefore, we would also like to know your experience in this area."

Faced with this problem, Li Ruyu smiled slightly, and then said: "If you publish a paper, you can't say that you have much experience. Just like most people, you have to do every experiment and analyze every data in the experiment. Add to that a good mentor and you’ll be fine.”

Li Ruyu's answer was obviously very real.

Because there are too many students who can complete the first two points, but are unable to complete the final goal because of the problem with the third point.

Of course, for this student reporter who is still studying as an undergraduate, she probably did not fully understand the meaning of Li Ruyu's words, and she only thought that Li Ruyu was saying good things for her mentor.

"Then it seems that your mentor must be a good teacher worthy of respect."

Li Ruyu laughed: "That's for sure."

"Of course, what I said is like [most people], and for me, another thing that must be mentioned is that I have a very good younger brother."

The reporter was taken aback, "Your brother?"

She suddenly remembered: "Oh! I heard that Senior Sister Li's younger brother is... Li Mu, the God of Shepherd!"

"Is this really true?"

Although everyone at Beijing University had heard about this matter, Li Mu's sister was a graduate student at Beijing University, and this student reporter had also heard about it, but he didn't expect to learn this fact from the real owner.

Li Ruyu nodded: "Yes, so I am very grateful to my brother for giving me a research environment and treatment that no one else can imagine, allowing me to conduct my research without any worries."

"As the old saying goes, interest is the best teacher, and the same is true in research. If you can always study what you are interested in, anyone can always have enthusiasm."

Listening to Li Ruyu's description, this reporter seemed to be able to imagine that feeling.

"It's great to have such a younger brother." The reporter said with an envious tone.

"Well, actually...it's good or bad." Li Ruyu suddenly said again.

"Why?" The reporter was curious.

"Think about it, we are all born to the same mother, why are there such big differences in mathematics?"

"Ah this..."

The reporter thought about it and it seemed that it was indeed...

"Then, can you imagine what it's like to be a student and have your brother become a professor?"

"Ah this..." The reporter suddenly felt that he could understand it even more.

"So~" Li Ruyu sighed: "Having a younger brother like this is a lot of pressure."

The reporter nodded, but then he said with a smile: "However, Senior Sister Ruyu, you have published "Nature" now. I believe that your brother, our Shepherd, will be proud of you if he knows about it, right? Right? Yes, does he know about this now?"

"I haven't told him yet, but there is another paper of his in this issue of Nature, which was the most popular one some time ago, "On Superconductivity." Did you know?"

The reporter nodded repeatedly, "I know."

Just kidding, after Li Mu's paper was published, the whole world was excited, and naturally their country was also excited.

After all, just these three words can make people feel the heavy weight.

"So, he will definitely see this issue of the journal. When the time comes, he will definitely be able to discover this surprise when he sees my paper."

Li Ruyu said with a smile.

"Then when he came to ask me, I told him, 'Your sister is still your sister'."

The reporter suddenly laughed.

The interview continued, and of course the atmosphere was always cheerful.

Just like that, the interview ended very quickly, and the reporter also said goodbye to Li Ruyu, saying that he would soon publish this interview in their school newspaper and campus news website.

The student reporter left Li Ruyu and turned around, and then saw their instructor's office door open, and Chen Shanping was holding a mobile phone, seemingly filming her.

She was stunned and asked in confusion: "Academician Chen, what are you doing?"

Chen Shanping smiled and then turned the phone screen over.

Li Ruyu took a look and saw that it was Li Mu on the other side of the screen.

Li Mu smiled wildly: "Hey, my sister is still my sister."

"My stupid sister, my brother is very proud of you."

Li Ruyu said "Ah" and then directly covered his face.

It's over, I died in front of this guy Li Mu!

...

Putting down his cell phone, Li Mu laughed and shook his head in the office.

I really didn't expect that his sister, who has always been strong in life, has such a social side.

Just now he learned from Chen Shanping that Li Ruyu was being interviewed by their campus reporter, so he asked Chen Shanping to make a video. He wanted to see how Li Ruyu was interviewed, but he didn't expect to see such an interesting scene.

According to Li Ruyu's character, it is estimated that for the next few days, she will be embarrassed to talk to him out of shame.

He shook his head, but no matter what, his original decision still seemed correct now.

Don't interfere with Li Ruyu, just provide her with an environment so that she can exert her abilities on her own.

And obviously, the direction she is striving for now seems to be the right one.

Then wish his sister more and more success.

And he still has his own direction to fight for.

Then, he closed his glasses and sank into his mind.

After several days of analyzing and researching the data, he now has a sufficient understanding of the principles of material synthesis.

Next, he will officially start implementing his research plan.

"Use, level five real universe environment simulation."

"Please confirm the experimental topic you want to conduct. The following experiments will be limited to simulations within the scope of the experimental topic." The system's voice sounded subsequently.

"Analysis of electronic behavior during materials synthesis."

"The topic of this experiment is determined to be [Analysis of Electronic Behavior in Material Synthesis Process]."

The next step is to choose the relevant environment, which is naturally no problem.

Soon, Li Mu entered the simulation space.

Looking at the material experiment space that appeared in the simulation space, Li Mu had no emotion.

Because he knew that the next topic would be a huge test.

The first thing he had to accomplish was to find out how to synthesize the normal-temperature superconductor model material.

And when it comes to room temperature superconductors...

Li Mu's mind moved: "Extract the normal temperature superconductor model."

"The room-temperature superconductor model is being analyzed... The analysis is complete and you can now represent the superconductor in simulation space."

Li Mu's heart moved, and immediately, a piece of metal that looked ordinary appeared in the simulation space.

"Is this a room temperature superconductor?"

Li Mu's brows moved, and then he also learned various information about this piece of material.

"It's still a copper-based material? No... there are other elements."

This material mainly contains four elements, copper, iron, niobium, and zinc.

Of course, Li Mu still doesn't know the specific internal structure, but what is certain is that the material composition is somewhat surprising.

"Forget it, forget it for now, let's start the experiment first."

Li Mu no longer thought about it.

At this moment, the sound of the system suddenly sounded in the simulation space.

"Computing power upgrade mission announced—"
