The thesis matter was decided easily.

Mainly because Chen Han was so cheerful and willing for everyone to sign their names side by side.

However, there were many others, and they strongly requested that Chen Han’s signature be the first one.

In this way, even if there are no first, second, and third authors, according to the unspoken rules of the industry, the one with the first signature will be the first author by default.

Although Zhuang Yunpeng and others can be shameless and take this thesis as one of the mandatory requirements for doctoral graduation.

But outside, they must be embarrassed to say that they own this paper.

After all, Chen Han is the leader of the research team, and he was the first to discover this bowl of noodles.

After the paper is published, when people in the scientific research circle see the signature of the paper, they will assume that the first author of the paper is Chen Han.

In addition to not being marked as the first author, Chen Han actually enjoyed all the benefits of the first author.

It's just that when it comes to evaluating professional titles, this paper can't help Chen Han.

However, Chen Han is too young now and has just started studying for a doctorate. The evaluation of professional titles is still far away from him, so he is not in a hurry about it.

Of course, because this paper involves experiments and is considered a scientific research paper, someone needs to be "responsible" for the authenticity of the content of the paper, the reliability of the data, and the credibility of the conclusions.

Therefore, a corresponding author must be named.

The corresponding author, Kong Jianwen, naturally did his part.

He is Chen Han's doctoral supervisor. Who can resist this responsibility if he doesn't?

Zhuang Yunpeng and others hurriedly compiled all the simulation methods and results of millet noodles into accurate experimental data, supplemented by photos as supporting evidence, and quickly compiled a paper.

[Analysis and replication of ingredients of 4,000-year-old noodles unearthed from the Lajia site in Qinghai]

This paper was sent to Chen Han, who made some minor revisions. After making sure it was perfect, he submitted the paper to Kong Jianwen.

"What? Did you really restore millet noodles?"

Kong Jianwen was shocked when he got the paper.

He just wanted to use this topic to hone Chen Han's students' hands-on and scientific research abilities.

Unexpectedly, it actually happened?

Although making noodles may not sound like a difficult task.

However, several senior researchers in their institute had discussed it privately before, and they couldn't find a good recovery method for a while!

The result was figured out by these young people?

Kong Jianwen was a little surprised and asked Chen Han again and again:

"The data are all real. Can we really make finished millet noodles according to the restoration steps you issued?"

"Xiao Chen, this is no joke. Once the paper is published, if other colleagues in the country try to copy it without success, it will make an academic joke!"

"It's true!" Chen Han smiled confidently: "Teacher, as long as you use millet, no matter what variety it is, you can make millet noodles by following the steps we gave you!"

"Why don't we just eat millet noodles tonight!"

"Seeing is better than hearing it. Let's try this bowl of noodles from four thousand years ago!"

"Okay!" Kong Jianwen slammed the table hard and said with great satisfaction: "Okay, let's try these millet noodles tonight!"

"If there is no problem, I will submit this paper to Science Bulletin tomorrow. I am very familiar with their editors. If it is quick, it will be published within two weeks!"

Chen Han rubbed his hands and was a little puzzled. He heard from his senior brother and sister that what tutors like most is revising papers. If you submit a paper once and don't revise it ten or eight times, it will not be accepted.

Why is the teacher so happy?

"Um...Teacher, you don't check and guide the deficiencies of the paper so that we can revise it according to your guidance...?" Chen Han asked hesitantly.

"What can be changed?"

Kong Jianwen glared at Chen Han: "The format of the paper is correct, the data is correct, and the experimental results are true, isn't that enough?"

"As long as you can eat these millet noodles tonight, then your paper will be passed."

Kong Jianwen waved his hand to drive people away because he was too lazy to correct the students' papers.

The more idle a tutor is and the more he has nothing to do, the more he likes to find a sense of existence by typing back student papers and revising students' papers.

That kind of nit-picking thing happens in universities where professors who have nothing to do all day long and have projects but cannot get funding have this free time.

He, the deputy director of the Institute of Archeology of the Academy of Social Sciences, who is either at the construction site or writing reports, doesn't have this kind of time.

As long as it is confirmed that millet noodles have been restored and that Chen Han has not committed any academic fraud, Kong Jianwen will be willing to sign him as the corresponding author and take responsibility for his students.

After getting this answer, Chen Han was very happy and hurriedly led the members of the research team to make noodles.

It took six people a full afternoon to make enough millet noodles for each of the more than 30 Qinghai archaeological team assisted by the Institute of Archeology of the Academy of Social Sciences to make a small bowl of millet noodles.

That night, everyone at the Institute of Archeology of the Academy of Social Sciences had expressions of shock and disbelief on their faces when they took the steaming bowl of millet noodles from Chen Han and the others.

Then came the joy that soared to the sky!

Since millet noodles can be reproduced, it means that what was unearthed at the Lajia site is a bowl of noodles from four thousand years ago!

From now on, there is no dispute about the origin of noodles. China is the origin of noodles!

The Italian origin theory and the Middle Eastern origin theory of noodles can all be swept into the trash heap of history!

Professor Li was holding a bowl of millet noodles topped with meat. While sipping it, he praised Chen Han who was dividing the noodles with admiration: "Xiao Chen, you did a great job!"

"I originally thought that the restoration of this noodle would have to be done by us old guys."

"I didn't expect that you would take care of this."

“It’s true that talented people come out from generation to generation, and a new generation replaces the old ones!”

"I, Lao Li, am looking down on you!"

"Not bad! Very good!"

Kong Jianwen, who was next to him, was also smiling brightly. He kept poking the bowl with a pair of chopsticks. He picked up a chopstick as if to show off and said to Professor Li:

"How about it? I'm a pretty good student, right?"

Professor Li pointed at Wang Weida, who was also dividing noodles, unconvinced and said, "My students are also participating."

Kong Jianwen snorted coldly and said somewhat unhappily: "Xiao Wang can have fun participating in this topic."

"I assigned this project to Xiao Chen, who is the leader of the project team. Logically speaking, Xiao Chen should be the first author of their paper."

"It turned out that this brat, should I say he was generous or should I say he was stupid, actually didn't distinguish between the author, the author, and the author. All six people in the group signed it."

"A paper in a core journal was treated like cabbage by him."

"If Xiao Chen becomes the first author, he will be able to use it for professional titles after graduation!"

"Hey!" Professor Li looked at Chen Han in surprise, with more admiration and intimacy in his eyes.

"Xiao Chen is a good person, and he is really willing to share the benefits!"

"Xiao Wang is really lucky this time."

Professor Li did not continue to argue with Kong Jianwen this time.

If Chen Han can distribute the thesis honor to the entire research group, then he deserves Professor Li’s thumbs up and praise!

"You are such a good disciple. Why didn't you apply for my doctoral degree at the beginning?" Professor Li sighed with regret.

"Hehe." Kong Jianwen smiled happily: "Old Li, have you forgotten? It was you who said you would not accept new students this year!"

"Yeah, how could I have known that I would miss such a good seedling?"

The two of them surrounded Chen Han and had a heated conversation.

On the other hand, Chen Han himself, who had become the protagonist of the conversation between the two bosses, had no time to listen to them talking about himself.

Because in his mind, the system that he had not seen for so long that he had almost forgotten it appeared again.

"Ding dong!"

"The host published an archeology-related paper as the first author in a core domestic journal!"

"Unlock the achievement: New Scientist!"

"Reward: Participation in a major archaeological project!"

"Lower level achievement: Rising Star of Scientific Research!"

"Unlocking requirements: Publish three archeology-related papers as the first author in core domestic journals."

The sudden system reminder disrupted Chen Han's thoughts...

Hasn’t the paper not been published yet?

Isn’t this paper divided into one, two, and three authors?

How come the system still determines that he is the first author?!

And the system is very sure that this paper will be published in core journals, so the settlement is determined in advance?

But, what is this reward?

The excavation process at the Lajia ruins has just begun to get better!

How is he going to get involved in other major archaeological projects?!
Chapter completed!
