Since it was the tutor who helped Sanwa submit the application, the contact address was also the tutor's.
When the supervisor saw the reply and learned that Sanwa's paper had been approved and was about to be published, he was incredibly excited.
The third child was still in class when the teacher came looking for him.
If it weren't for the fact that there were still a few minutes left before get out of class ended, the instructor would have wanted to tell his colleagues inside to call Sanwa out first.
So, when Sanwa and his classmates finished class, they saw the top student from their department standing at the classroom door, and many students stopped to leave.
"Yan An, come here quickly."
"Teacher, what brings you here? Is something urgent?" Sanwa asked, puzzled.
"Your paper has passed the review and will be published!" the tutor exclaimed excitedly.
It's worth noting that he achieved his current academic standing precisely because he successfully published papers in these most influential international journals. However, to date, he has only published a handful of papers, not even reaching double digits.
How could he not be excited that a freshman like him could publish a paper in such a prestigious journal?
Although the supervisor helped Sanwa revise some flaws, he also refrained from signing his name on Sanwa's thesis, demonstrating good professional ethics.
It's important to understand that the fewer authors a paper has, the greater its impact.
The supervisor didn't want to benefit from the students' fame, so only Sanwa's name was listed as an author on the paper.
Independently published, high-impact papers have an even greater significance.
"Really? That's great!" Even the usually calm Sanwa couldn't help but get excited at this moment.
Their conversation was not whispered, and many students who were nearby heard it.
Everyone wondered if there was something wrong with their hearing.
"Just now, Da Niu said that Li Yan'an has a paper about to be published?"
"That's what I heard too."
After being confirmed by several people, everyone was finally certain that they weren't hallucinating.
That would be even more frightening.
So young, and already publishing papers?
No one present was a fool. Even though Sanwa is now a sophomore, sophomore year has only been going on for a short time. The thesis review process takes more than a few days. So he finished his thesis when he was a freshman.
At this point, some more rational people chimed in.
"It's not like no one has ever published a paper in their freshman or sophomore year, right?" After all, their school has had quite a few outstanding students throughout the years.
"That's true."
However, he was quickly proven wrong.
The expert mentor pulled the three children aside to continue the discussion.
"We'll be able to see it when the next issue of xxxx is published. Oh right, I forgot to mention, authors who successfully publish papers will receive a copy in advance."
Upon hearing the name of the journal, the students in front of them became quite agitated.
Someone couldn't help but ask the renowned professor for confirmation, and received an affirmative answer.
"Yes, it's the one you know," the mentor said with a smile.
He kept it a secret before because he was afraid something might go wrong.
After all, he considers himself to be a very ethical teacher and would not steal his students' academic achievements, but that doesn't mean everyone is like him.
If the news leaks out in advance and some people who want to gain credit and climb the ladder find out about this important paper and insist on adding their names as authors, he can't stop everyone.
He felt helpless about this phenomenon, but it has indeed happened quite often in China in recent years, and many people have become accustomed to it and think it is to be expected.
He was just a scholar; he couldn't change anything, but he could choose to protect his students.
Sanwa was unaware that so many stories were hidden behind the successful publication of his paper.
If his supervisor is an unethical person who takes his paper, replaces it with his own name or someone else's, and publishes it, it will be very difficult for him to change anything once the deed is done.
Although the third child is very smart, he still lacks social experience in areas he is unfamiliar with.
Fortunately, he was lucky enough to have a good mentor.
"Oh My God."
"It was that one."
The way people looked at the Third Brother was no longer like they were looking at an ordinary top student; it was like they were looking at a god-like figure.
Publishing papers in freshman or sophomore year is rare, though it does happen occasionally at these top universities. But to publish in such a high-level journal in freshman or sophomore year is an extremely rare occurrence.
I can't say for sure that he'll become a super awesome person in the future, but the probability of him becoming one is quite high.
After Sanwa was pulled away by his advisor to continue discussing the follow-up matters, the news that his paper was about to be published in a top physics journal quickly spread throughout the department.
The freshmen and sophomores are alright. The freshmen don't understand, and when they hear it, they just shout "Awesome!" The sophomores, who are in the same year as Sanwa, have already experienced his "awesomeness" firsthand.
But some juniors and seniors scoffed and didn't believe it.
"If you're going to make something up, at least make it believable. Are all the younger students these days so fond of bragging?"
"Yes, they're too impetuous, saying whatever comes to mind."
"If you're so capable, bring the journal to me. I'll believe you once you have it." This was what he said during an argument with a second-year university student.
Because most of the juniors and seniors didn't believe it, some sophomores also became skeptical, wondering if it was fake.
A physics professor who had heard about it approached Sanwa's mentor to inquire about the truth of the matter.
Sanwa's mentor gave a disdainful smile.
"Let those who do not believe wait and see what happens."
Even the third child was later asked by many people whether it was true or false.
At first, Sanwa would respond with a few words, but some people still expressed doubts after he responded directly and asked him to provide solid evidence, so Sanwa just ignored them.
Because of his attitude, some people deliberately spread rumors that he had no evidence, that he was just bragging before but is now feeling guilty.
As a result, those who supported Sanwa and those who did not believe in him argued even more fervently.
It's fair to say that the entire physics department was bustling with activity, attracting quite a few onlookers from other departments.
Sanwa quickly became a well-known figure at the school.
Even though he was caught in a media storm, it didn't affect Sanwa's daily life. He continued to do what he was supposed to do as usual.
Sanwa's roommates know him well and are among the most trusting and supportive people in the school. They've had their share of arguments and fights with older students outside the school.
Sanwa usually seems aloof, but knowing how much his roommates support him, he not only took them to his house for a day over the weekend, but also treated them to a big meal.
"Good brother."
"Don't worry if anything happens next time, we'll definitely help you again."
"Exactly, what's our relationship?"
Sanwa didn't say anything, but he felt quite warm inside.
He has few friends, but his roommates are so loyal to him.
Sanwa ignored those who still didn't believe him and were hoping to see him make a fool of himself.
Because many people have heard about or participated in this incident, everyone is paying attention to the publication date of the journal.
Since it wasn't available for immediate purchase in China, some people contacted alumni overseas, asking them to send the news back as soon as they got their hands on the journal.
