Chapter 497 does not need to be modified, just publish it!
"The author himself?"
After hearing this, Elinor realized that he had not read the author information of the article.
Because at the beginning, he was planning to leave it directly to students for review.
It was because the keywords in the title aroused interest that I decided to click in and take a look.
As a result, I watched it for a few hours, and I had long forgotten those things.
Elinor quickly turned the article back to the first page.
Generally speaking, the author information will be indicated below the homepage or title of the reviewed article.
CHANG Haonan…
TORCH technology…
China…
"Uh... this author comes from a... Chinese company that I haven't heard of."
Elinor, who has been immersed in the industry for many years, considers himself to be well-informed and has heard about even the slightly famous peers in the industry.
Also includes China.
You know, Cranfield University is almost the first university in the UK to systematically train international students in China's aerospace industry, which is quite well-established.
But the name of Torch Technology is really...
First time heard.
"Hmm...it seems that Roger, you have been somewhat blocked from news in recent months..."
Lorenzo on the other end of the phone smiled and responded:
“This company is a rising star that was only officially established in July this year, but it is very strong in numerical calculations, especially in the field of aerospace calculations. Many research institutions, including our school, have already established cooperative relationships with them. "
"July?"
Elinor was so confused that he turned his head and glanced at today's date in the lower right corner of the computer.
It was indeed October 1997.
"It only takes three months? Can you make a name for yourself in the industry?"
He has indeed been concentrating on the structural strength of the EJ200 engine in recent months, so he does not have much energy to pay attention to industry developments.
But in the field of engineering, especially in the field of aerospace, even if new forces rise or old hegemons decline, there is a gradual process.
For example, McDonnell Douglas was absorbed by Boeing. Although the news itself was indeed explosive, the decline of McDonnell Douglas actually began in the mid-80s.
Another example is Airbus, which brings together the best of European aviation technology. It took more than 20 years of development to reach its current second place in the industry.
How can you say that a company suddenly pops up and then takes off immediately?
"It is true that it has only been established for three months, but I estimate that the technology research and development of this company has been carried out a long time ago."
Lorenzo first explained, and then asked:
"You should know that at the beginning of this year, Airbus, the European Aviation Agency and China reached a tripartite cooperation agreement, right?"
"Of course I know. For Boeing's merger with McDonnell Douglas, I remember you were involved in the negotiation process at that time?"
Boeing's merger with McDonnell Douglas and the series of butterfly effects it triggered can be said to be one of the biggest news since the birth of the aviation industry, and it is impossible for Elinor not to know the related news.
It's just that he didn't understand why the other party suddenly mentioned this topic.
"The author of this paper, I had direct contact with him during the negotiations."
"He is very young and very capable. The meteorological risk prediction system that JAA has just put into use recently was co-developed based on one of his achievements."
On the other end of the phone, Lorenzo also had the paper open on his computer.
However, what appeared on the screen at the same time was the latest user agreement sent to him by the TORCH Multiphysics software for confirmation.
Written in each of the six working languages of the United Nations.
After completing the signing, they can get the corresponding trial version.
Before that, Lorenzo had just a vague feeling that among the developers of this software there should be members who were proficient in aircraft design, but he had never connected the Torch Group with the young designer he had met in China before.
But today, he suddenly discovered that the unit behind Chang Haonan's name was TORCH technology...
It’s all connected!
In fact, if you think about it carefully, it is somewhat reasonable.
After all, when Lorenzo went to China to negotiate before, the other party had already brought out an aircraft icing simulation program, which shocked him at the time.
It’s just that it’s hard for normal people to expect that just a few months later, the same person would develop a new, more complex software, and it would be a great success...
"So...you mean, this company called Torch Technology will have related technologies to match it?"
Elinor was still doubtful.
After all, judging from the final conclusion of that paper, the author also mentioned that follow-up work lies in "considering the possibility of practical applications."
It is entirely possible that after a phased result is made, it is rushed to be released.
This is a very common situation in academia.
CMAME is already the top journal in the field. No matter how much content is filled in this article, it will not be published in any better journal.
It would be better to dismantle it and turn one top issue into two.
"I can't guarantee this. After all, I haven't got this software yet. I can only know some basic information through some old friends in Italy."
Lorenzo obviously didn't dare to guarantee it.
But then his tone changed:
"But if anyone is likely to develop this technology to the point where it's actually usable in a short period of time, it's basically them."
Given his status in the fields of numerical computing and software development, being able to say this obviously represents a very high degree of recognition.
"alright, I got it."
Elinor took a deep breath, prepared to put down the phone, and think about what to do next.
"Wait a moment."
Lorenzo on the other side of the phone quickly stopped him:
"Your review comments for this paper..."
"Publish it directly, of course, publish it directly!"
This time, Elinor had almost no hesitation.
Just kidding, you want to use other people’s technology to work on a project, but you still get stuck on other people’s papers?
Not to mention that if only one editor requests rejection of the manuscript, in many cases the opinion will be excluded directly.
Let’s just say that CMAME is not the only top journal in the field of numerical computing.
If someone switches to the old enemy JCP, wouldn’t there be no place to cry?
Some papers are proud to be published in top journals.
But there are also some papers that top journals are proud to publish.
As for the article he is reviewing, after it is published, I am afraid that it will raise the impact factor of CMAME to a higher level in two years!
"That's fine, that's fine."
Lorenzo said twice that would be fine.
Obviously, it was his intention to publish it directly.
The two exchanged brief greetings for a while, and Eleanor, who was still worried, hung up the phone.
Collaborative research and development is definitely not possible.
At least it can't be done openly and with great fanfare.
EJ200 is a military project, and suddenly it was said that it would share data with China and engage in joint development. It would be fine if it was only the UK, but this is a European joint project, and I am afraid that just the cooperation license can take several years.
However, in the second part of the paper, the author mentioned that a set of "self-developed" computing tools were used during the research process.
Elinor didn't pay much attention when he looked at it.
But looking back now, combined with the other party's research unit, it is still a company.
It seems to be some kind of hint.
No, it’s clear.
"Come and buy it, uncle~" kind of thing.
Thinking of this, Elinor quickly reopened the email interface and copied the author's contact email address into the recipient column...
