Xueba's Black Technology Simulator

Chapter 189 Invitation

Before Lu Xiao thought about his own papers, he only published Chinese journals.

Later, at the suggestion of my tutor, in order to expand the influence, I chose to publish it in top foreign journals.

It was indeed successfully published that time, and it also attracted the attention of many people in the science of audiology.

It can be regarded as digging a small hole for foreign countries.

At that time, the time to publish in domestic journals was not ripe.

But now, it is different from before.

Because the right to speak is greater, especially after the X system covers the whole world, Xia Guo's voice is easier to spread.

If there is no X system, there will be no websites like Twitter and Facebook in foreign countries.

Really can't compete with foreign forces.

But now it is different. An academic website has been opened and a large number of papers have been collected.

This website can be promoted to countless scientists' computers in the first time.

And Lu Xiao didn't need to spend much effort at all. The website that wanted to open up academic materials in the past was often closed for various reasons. The most important thing was that it was targeted by foreign forces. As long as the server was found, it would definitely be closed as soon as possible.

Lu Xiao can put the website on Xiawei Technology's cloud server. They couldn't close all kinds of illegal websites before, and it's the same now.

Regarding illegal websites, Lu Xiao had already reached an agreement with several companies such as Microsoft and Google, and even the forces behind them, so that illegal websites should not be allowed to flood again.

Now it is an academic website, which is naturally different from before.

After discussing with the people in the company, Lu Xiao connected to the little deer in the villa in Modu in his own workshop in the Jiangcheng laboratory.

Because of the existence of the Internet, Lu Xiao can contact Xiaolu wherever there is an Internet connection.

Xiaolu's performance last time has already shown that Xiaolu has a certain degree of intelligence.

This time is also a test to see if Xiaolu can collect a large number of public papers on the Internet.

Some copyrighted works cannot be included casually, and those that are made public by others can always be included.

In the early stage, the published ones are included first, and then they are promoted to let scientists know that this website can share papers for free and view other people's research.

Let them also share the papers they wrote.

Scientists research results, write papers and publish them in journals, don't they just want their things to be seen by more people?

Otherwise, write a dissertation.

It's just that if you want to let others see the papers you wrote before, you have to rely on various journals.

Without the reputation of the journal, how could others pay attention to this person's papers.

This is why some journals still have the cheek to charge page fees.

Lu Xiao turned on the computer, connected to the server, and asked Xiaolu: "I want to build a paper sharing website similar to Sci-Hub, can Xiaolu build it?"

Xiaolu will not ask Lu Xiao what is the Sci-Hub website.

It can query by itself.

After a while, Xiaolu asked: "Sci-Hub is in June 2017, the New York District Court of the Eagle State pronounced a judgment to compensate Elsevier for copyright damages of 6 million US dollars. Is that the website that p blocked?"

"Yes, this is the website, are they still running?" Lu Xiao asked.

He really didn't check it. Lu Xiao actually used a paid database before because he was not short of money.

There are many available in Xiaguo, but most of them are charged. It costs a lot of money to download a paper, some charge annual fees and some charge monthly fees.

SCI, JCR, CNKI, Wanfang, and the Chinese Academy of Sciences journal division platform can all be used.

Xiaolu quickly replied: "It can be used. Currently Sci-Hub is operating on our cloud server. There have been many complaints. Let us close this website, but President Liu Wei does not have the authority to close this website."

Lu Xiao was speechless for a moment. It turned out that the largest free dissertation sharing website used the company's cloud service.

Liu Wei probably knew about this matter very well, so this time he proposed to run it by himself.

Since Sci-Hub doesn't plan to make a profit and has to pay a lot of costs every month, it's better to let Xiawei Technology bear the cost.

It is estimated that Liu Wei is already trying to find a way to contact the people behind Sci-Hub.

However, Liu Wei is definitely not as efficient as Lu Xiao when it comes to the Internet. Now that the laboratory does not require Lu Xiao to conduct experiments himself, Lu Xiao is ready to spend some energy to get the academic website done.

Lu Xiao still has a certain understanding of academic websites.

Including past lives.

Lu Xiao was a civil servant in his previous life, so he naturally had some friends and colleagues. In this life, because he traveled to a parallel world, he no longer knows anyone he knows well.

People who have been in contact with in the previous life can't be found in this life. Lu Xiao even found himself in the previous life.

It's just not found.

In his previous life, Lu Xiao had a good friend who lived in Rongcheng and opened a law firm named Swartz.

The reason for this name is because Lu Xiao's friend's biggest idol is Aaron Hillel Swartz.

This guy is actually a hacker genius, and he was the first to create a free academic website to share.

He hacked into library data and ended up sharing countless papers for free.

It's a pity that in the end, because of the press of the publishing house, he hanged himself in the end. Of course, this is what happened in the Eagle Country, and it is uncertain whether he committed suicide.

But it was he who took the first step, and two years later, another girl from the White Bear Country came forward.

This is the creator of Sci-Hub!
Her name is Alexandra Elbakin.

Of course, there are some controversies about the Baixiong country, and some people say that it is from the country of Kazakhstan. After all, what this girl did has touched the interests of many people. In fact, where the reality is is also a secret.

If it is discovered, it may follow in the footsteps of Aaron Swartz.

It is also because Lu Xiao's friends in the previous life admired Aaron Swartz very much, and Lu Xiao also has a certain understanding of some of the follow-up matters of the academic website.

In the next few years, Sci-Hub will still be sued by various lawsuits and will eventually have to close.

But countless netizens spontaneously backed up 8500 million papers, with a total of 77TB of data, and posted on Reddit, soliciting and establishing a seed bank to ensure that these articles are permanently free and open to everyone.

Of course, that was all in the previous life, and the fate of Sci-Hub in this life has been changed by Lu Xiao.

Because all data is placed on the X cloud service.

There is no entity, and no one can close it if they want to.

But relying on the little girl to support the Sci-Hub is still too heavy, so Lu Xiao naturally needs to help with this kind of thing.

I thought it would take some time to collect papers.

Fortunately, his thesis is stored on the X cloud server.

Lu Xiao could retrieve these data and rebuild an academic sharing website without the consent of Alexandra Erbakin.

Of course, it is still too unfriendly to use it directly.

Since the girl in the later generations did not use this website to make money, it can be seen that Alexandra Elbakin is a person of faith.

I really want to share knowledge with all mankind for free.

Then Lu Xiao believes that if he contacts her, talks to her, and asks her to come up with the data and run another academic website together, there is a high probability that he will agree.

From Lu Xiao's point of view, the function of the Sci-Hub website is still a bit single.

It's not enough to just share the existing papers for free.

It also needs to accept more new papers like top journals, so that it can compete with the current publishing house system.

If Lu Xiao came to build this website, he must have robbed the jobs of major journals.

Let everyone contribute to the website.

In fact, the publishing house is not completely useless. Anyway, people are reviewing manuscripts. When others submit manuscripts, the journals contact the reviewers to review the manuscripts.

If you set up your own website and want everyone to contribute, how can you build credibility.

Therefore, it is necessary to build a reviewer system.

Fortunately, there are quite a few scientists in Xia Kingdom now.

Lu Xiao can build a reviewer system again, and let Xia Guo's scientists work harder in the early stage, reviewing the papers shared by all scientists around the world on the website.

This happens to also allow scientists in the Xia Kingdom to gain access to more knowledge.

Lu Xiao himself will also review manuscripts, because reading new papers is the best way for him to improve his experience in various disciplines.

After the review system is established, other scientists from around the world can also be invited to join this website and become reviewers.

In the future, there will be no need for the previous journal to invite reviewers.

Everything is done online.

Lu Xiao said to Xiaolu: "Try to find a way to contact Alexandra Erbakin and tell her that Xiawei Technology plans to build the world's largest free sharing website for papers. In the future, Sci-Hub will not charge cloud service fees. I Provide her with cloud service space for free, but I hope she can come to Xiaguo to work, where her safety can be guaranteed."

"Good master." Xiaolu immediately replied.

It is easy to contact Alexandra Elbakin, because in order to use X cloud service, you must have an X account.

And Alexandra Elbakin must be using System X.

Otherwise, how can I use the backend to upload various materials.

To Lu Xiao's surprise, a few seconds later, Xiao Lu said that he had contacted Alexandra Elbakin.

She happened to be online at this time, and Xiaolu contacted her through a private message in the background of the X account.

Because of the X system, there is also X Weibo.

It also has services abroad, and now there are many users around the world. In fact, Xiawei Technology is still competing with companies such as Twitter and Facebook.

Lu Xiao just didn't pay attention to these things before.

What Liu Wei said earlier that Xiawei Technology is capable of doing this is also because there are various software services behind the X system.

One day in the future, maybe Twitter can also be compared.

Now that he contacted Alexandra Erbakin, Lu Xiao communicated with her personally.

He said in a private message: "Alexandra Elbakin, I am the founder of the X system, Boos of Xiawei Technology, I contact you this time to ask if you are interested in working in Xiaguo."

At the same time, Lu Xiao already knew where Alexandra Elbakin was at this time.

With the X system, nothing can escape Lu Xiao's observation.

Of course, this kind of thing must not be disclosed to the outside world.

Lu Xiao knew that Alexandra Erbakin was in the White Bear Country now.

Maybe she was trying to avoid the bad intentions of some people.

After all, the White Bear Country has been at loggerheads with certain western forces.

Sloden, who exposed the Prism Gate, also went to the White Bear Country to seek asylum.

Alexandra Elbakin actually doesn't have a job now. She lives in a villa and basically doesn't interact with people.

This is actually thanks to Xiawei Technology.

In the past, Alexandra Elbakin relied on the help of her family to have the money to build an academic sharing website.

Because she has become the world's largest leader of pirated papers, she basically can't find a good job.

In the traditional sphere of influence of the West, they will be targeted in various ways.

But Alexandra Elbakin's life is getting better since X coins.

Although her website is free, she disclosed her X currency account and accepted donations from all over the world.

Now in Alexandra Elbakin's account, all the X coins are converted into US dollars, and there are as many as several million.

So Sci-Hub has actually become her main source of living expenses.

Her usual job is to develop various web crawlers and search for various published papers on the Internet, even unpublished papers, and she has to find a way to enter them from journals into the website.

Alexandra Elbakin looked at the account he was chatting with again, and it turned out to be the official account of Xiawei Technology.

Because you can see the official push message sent by this account to each user in the front.

Alexandra Elbakin no longer doubted Lu Xiao's identity.

After thinking for a while, she still politely refused: "Thank you, but I have no plan to go to Xia Guo to work."

What a joke, now accepting donations every month can make her live well, why go to work in other countries.

She doesn't understand the language of Xia Guo, and she is not familiar with Xia Guo's place when she goes to Xia Guo.

Seeing the other party's reply, Lu Xiao frowned slightly. X account can see the balance of the account, and Lu Xiao soon knew the reason.

With so many X coins in the other party's account, it seems that the other party feels rich and does not need help.

Lu Xiao is going to explain the stakes and see if the other party is willing to come over. If he is really unwilling, he can only be sorry. The academic website Lu Xiao must be in his own hands.

"I plan to build a world-renowned free academic paper sharing website. With the size of the X system, it will far exceed the popularity of Sci-Hub. Your current source of income is based on donations, right? If Sci-Hub is no longer accepted Welcome, is there anyone else who will donate to you?"

"And your platform is built on my server, if I shut down the server, what will you do?"

There was already some threat implicit in Lu Xiao's words.

If the other party is still ignorant of current affairs, Lu Xiaozhen can destroy this website at any time.

This will not damage the reputation of Xiawei Technology. Isn't this Sci-Hub a pirated website in the eyes of countless people?
Although Lu Xiao also intends to engage in piracy and grab the publishing house's job, he has not started to do so yet.

Alexandra Erbakin was silent for a moment, she didn't expect that Xiawei Technology would pay attention to the academic paper sharing website.

Thinking of the current influence of Xiawei Technology, Alexandra Elbakin has no ability to resist at all.

Others kindly contacted her in advance to save face.

As a computer expert, Alexandra Elbakin knew that the data stored in the X cloud server could really be viewed by Xiawei Technology at any time!
In fact, this can be regarded as the place where X cloud service has been criticized.

But this is not a problem unique to Xiawei Technology. For its own cloud service project, others can view the data at any time on any cloud server.

In the end, Alexandra Erbakin did not refuse, but said that she would come to Xiaguo to have an interview with Lu Xiao.

She still hopes that academic papers can be viewed for free in this world.

When she started this website, the original reason was that when she was writing a graduate thesis, she found that she had to spend a lot of money to view other people's papers, and the money was not obtained by the author of the paper.

Rather, it is acquired by the publisher.

Finally, after learning about Aaron Swartz, Alexandra Elbakin decided to make this website.

She originally planned to keep hiding, but who knew that in 2016, the natural journal of the country where the sun never sets actually gave her an award for the top ten figures.

It made her real identity leaked.

Her exposure was actually after she was selected as one of the top ten scientific figures in 2016 by the "Nature" magazine in the country where the sun never sets.

Now it seems that the other party is really harboring evil intentions.

Afterwards, Alexandra Elbakin became a fugitive, and it was okay to go to work in Xia Country. If Lu Xiao invited her to go to Western countries, Alexandra Elbakin would definitely refuse without even thinking about it.
