Chapter 34 Experiments and “Thesis”
Experiments take time to produce results.
But the writing of the "paper" can be started in advance, and the modular, conceptual, and framework content can be put on paper first.
The paper that Link wants to write is an experimental paper, which generally consists of an introduction, main text (experimental principles, experimental materials, equipment and methods, experimental process, experimental results, analysis and discussion), conclusion and references.
The introduction is an outline and requires a clear explanation of the reason, purpose and importance of this experiment.
Including but not limited to what experiments were performed? Why do this experiment? How was the question raised? What is its theoretical and practical basis? What problem was solved and what are the application scenarios of the experimental results? What work has been done by predecessors or others? What issues remain unresolved? What can be gained from this experiment?
Finally, the final creative results of this experiment will be given.
This part of the content can all be written in advance.
Before starting an experiment, a researcher should think about the above issues and achieve certain results.
The main text is rich in content. If you wait until the end of the experiment to start writing, you will be in a hurry and it is easy to make omissions.
Two small items, such as experimental principles and experimental materials, equipment and methods, can be written in advance. Doing so can also help sort out ideas.
The experimental process, in addition to the experimental data, other experimental plans, technical routes, and operating procedures can be written in advance or while the experiment is being conducted.
Subject to change at any time.
It is convenient and error-free as much as possible.
The experimental results cannot be written in advance. You must wait for the experimental data to come out before you can decide how to process it, how to present it, and what final results you will get.
It cannot be set in advance, otherwise it will be prone to bias when processing experimental data.
The analysis and discussion sections are very important and their purpose is to express the significance of the experimental results.
It should reflect the confirmability, documentary and originality of the experiment.
This part has extremely high requirements on the theoretical foundation of the "paper" author, and it can well reflect the breadth and depth of the author's knowledge structure.
The conclusion part is usually given or written after the experiment is completed, the experimental data has been processed, and the overall analysis and discussion of the experiment are done.
References can be written in advance. If there are many references, they can be deleted and if there are few, they can be added.
Link was busier than before in the next few days.
There are classes to attend, part-time jobs to do, experiments to do, and papers to write.
Fortunately, Link manages his time very well, and has the highest level of "Occlumency" to help him sort out his mental state and control his emotions, without causing problems such as irritability, anxiety, and worries about gains and losses that often occur among researchers.
Otherwise, Link's hairline would be very dangerous.
How can you be a qualified researcher without losing a lot of hair, right?
Jasmine witnessed Link's busy state and felt vaguely worried about his future.
As she became more and more dedicated to studying, and as she learned more and more knowledge, Jasmine's understanding of wizards became deeper and deeper, no longer superficial.
She also completely understood why the official wizards who were teaching teachers all came and went in a hurry, for fear of wasting even a second of time.
The civilization of the wizarding world is highly developed, and the levels are also very clear. Wizard apprentices, formal wizards (first-level wizards to third-level wizards), sages (fourth-level wizards to sixth-level wizards), great sages (seventh-level wizards to ninth-level wizards) , Saint (beyond the ninth level).
How many wizards are crowded on this avenue to the sky, but resources are limited. If you want to obtain more resources to help you advance faster, you must roll up.
How to roll it?
Conquer the heavens and worlds externally, and produce research results internally.
There are only two ways to go.
But those below the sage cannot take the path of foreign conquest.
Because formal wizards have problems such as delays in casting, deviations and even backlash after breaking away from the rules of the wizarding world.
Only by being promoted to a sage and establishing a strong connection with the world will of the wizard world can we use the extension of the world will of the wizard world in the world of heavens to cast spells normally.
Therefore, all official wizards are research madmen, scrambling to produce research results.
What?
You said you don’t want to curl up and want to lie flat?
Yes, absolutely.
It's just that you don't curl up anymore. Once you lie down, don't blame other people who are curling up to take advantage of you.
By then, not only will you not be able to live a comfortable and comfortable life, you will also have to work as a bully for others and become a consumable for others' promotion.
Jasmine doesn't want to become a consumable at all.
She has been well clothed and well-fed since she was a child, and has witnessed with her own eyes the miserable lives of the lower-class people in the territory who have lost their freedom and been exploited by the nobles.
She didn't want to live like that.
"You have to work hard!"
Jasmine glanced at Link, who was concentrating on deleting the "thesis" and was not listening to what was going on outside the window, and encouraged herself in her heart.
Even if the Lingxiao flower wants to cling to the oak tree, it has to take root in the earth and work hard to grow.
...
seems like just a blink of an eye.
Link didn't notice the passage of time, and it was already Wednesday of the eighth week.
That evening, after returning to the dormitory from his part-time job at the Third Botanical Garden, Link routinely used the Secondary Mist and Rain Technique twice and the Birthing Technique once on his team.
While the seeds in Group A, Group B, Group D, and Group E showed no signs of germination, the seeds of Silver Star Flower in Group One happily broke through the ground and sprouted.
As for Group C (normal seeds, secondary fog and rain technique once every morning, secondary fog and rain technique twice in the evening, birthing technique once every two days), they had already sprouted on Monday.
Link counted the data and recorded the germination time, germination duration, and germination success rate of his group one by one.
A brief comparison of the data between Group C and Group 1 shows that when both used Link's germination method, the normal seeds in Group C germinated two days earlier than the problem seeds in Group 1, and the germination success rate was also 8% higher. Group C was 79.2 %, the own group is 71.1%.
Considering the sample size issue, if the sample is expanded, the number of germination success rate can be more accurate.
However, these two figures also have certain validity and reliability.
At this point, Link's "thesis" has basically taken shape.
Because the experiments of Group A, Group B, Group D, and Group E have been done by previous people, many related "papers" can be found in high-end literature databases.
If the data from those documents were quoted directly, Link could publish it after slightly modifying the "paper".
But Link decided to work slowly and carefully, waiting for the experiment to be completed, all the data to be collected, and then fill the "paper" with real data, and then publish it.
details make a difference.
Whether the numbers are real or not can sometimes be calculated.
Link didn't want to lose the big for the small, pick the sesame but lose the watermelon, and end up with the reputation of falsifying the "paper".
Once a reputation is ruined, it is like water spilled on the ground, and it is basically impossible to get it back.
