Chapter 346: We are all Chinese people with backbone!
After thinking for a while, the white-haired old man continued:
"Also, no papers from Xu You and his lab can be published in our journals in the future. He is a very dangerous guy, and we should impose such a ban on him."
"But...what is our reason?"
It is a very crazy move to impose such a ban on any scientist.
After all, in academia, there are rarely such restrictions on a person or even his laboratory.
This goes against the purpose of world academic development.
"Reasons? That's too simple. We can find countless reasons as long as we want. For example, we can send a message that he has connections with the military, provides important technology to the military, and poses a threat to the security of people all over the world."
This is not the first time they have used this trick; they have become very adept at it.
"Understood, we'll do it right away."
…
Within a few days, the US released three important news through different channels.
The first news is that it will be banned to provide technical support to any company that cooperates with Fulun Technology.
This news made many companies that wanted to cooperate with Fulun Technology give up the idea.
It’s not that they don’t understand the reasons, but in order to protect their businesses, they can only make the most cautious choices.
The second news is that the prices of a number of products and technologies will be slightly reduced.
This is good news for companies that have product and technology cooperation with the West.
The third piece of news was a comprehensive ban on Xu You and the laboratory where Xu You worked.
As a result, Xu You and the teachers and students in Xu You's laboratory will no longer be able to submit papers to top foreign journals.
These news have aroused heated discussions among domestic netizens.
"This time, Bald Eagle wants to destroy Fulong Technology. Forbidding other companies to cooperate with Fulong Technology is equivalent to cutting off part of Fulong Technology's financial resources. The price cuts on export products and technologies are obviously to support Fulong Technology's competitors, to kill with a borrowed knife, and to let these companies defeat Fulong Technology. This move is really vicious!"
"As a result, it will be difficult for Fulong Technology to have such a high market share in the low-end and mid-range mobile phone market in the future. With our current capabilities, it is almost impossible to produce high-end products immediately in the short term. Fulong Technology is going to be in trouble again."
"It is said that they imposed a ban on Xu You because he had connections with the military. Didn't Xu You always do some theoretical research before? How did he suddenly have connections with the military?"
"You also believe what Bald Eagle said? Didn't they say before that the rice company had connections with the military? And it turns out that it was because the boss of the rice company had the word 'military' in his name."
"No matter whether Xu You has any connection with the military, this kind of ban is bullying. I hope what they say is true. Only if we are strong enough militarily will we not be afraid of their threats."
Xu You, who focused on scientific research and teaching, did not pay attention to the news at first.
It was only after being reminded by others that Xu You realized that he was also on the ban list of bald eagles.
As the saying goes, when you are at home, orders may come from the sky.
Xu You finally experienced firsthand what the despicable behavior of the bald eagle was like.
Xu You didn't feel much about being on the ban list.
Xu You didn't know whether they really knew about the cooperation with the military or were just guessing.
Anyway, I guessed it right.
But arbitrarily imposing a ban on the grounds of cooperation with the military is undoubtedly a manifestation of hegemony.
Companies including Google and SpaceX are cooperating more closely with the military.
But it was not on any ban list.
Xu You didn't want to make any explanation about this.
However, Xu You was a little worried that this would have an impact on the teachers and students in his laboratory.
Thinking of this, Xu You immediately contacted the members of his laboratory and held an emergency meeting.
Most of the teachers and students in Xu You's laboratory learned the news earlier than Xu You.
Everyone was very angry about this, saying it was a completely groundless accusation.
"I know what this restriction means to everyone. I have published papers in many top foreign journals and I know how much impact these bans will have on everyone. If you have the need to submit papers to these journals in the future, I suggest that you just withdraw from my lab in name only."
"In this case, these bans will not have any impact on everyone. And this will not affect the relationship between us. I will understand this very well. We will still be very good colleagues and teachers and students in the future."
Now Xu You no longer has any particular need to submit papers to these journals.
But Xu You cannot demand the same of others as he demands of himself.
Teachers and students who have urgent needs for papers will be greatly affected by this.
Xu You didn't want to affect their future.
But Lin Shi was the first to stand up in response to Xu You's remarks.
"Teacher, I will never quit! There is nothing great about publishing papers in these journals! If I am not allowed to publish, then I won't publish. I don't even want to submit!"
In fact, given Lin Shi’s current situation, the need for top journal papers is still very urgent.
But compared to these honors, Lin Shi feels that some things are more important.
"That's right, Mr. Xu. We will not withdraw from the laboratory. If we withdraw at this time, it will undoubtedly be a compromise with their ban and make them laugh at us!"
"Yes, I won't quit either!"
"I won't quit. I will never quit!"
Xu You didn't expect that everyone would stand on his side so unanimously this time.
This made Xu You very touched.
Seeing everyone's reaction, Xu You finally stopped worrying.
"Okay! You are not only the best in the academic world, but also Chinese people with backbone! Since they don't allow us to publish papers in their journals, then we will continue to expand our own academic journals! In the future, even if they beg us to publish, we will not publish!"
"Yes, tomorrow we will be out of their reach!" a teacher also shouted.
For a moment, the whole laboratory was filled with an exciting atmosphere.
Of course, Xu You also knew that just saying these things would not mean much.
Everything still requires actual strength and must be demonstrated .
And now Xu You already has enough strength to do so.
"As you all know, our academic community has been developing better and better in recent years, especially academic journals headed by the core journals of Jilin University. Now, I have good news for you."
