"The traffic is simply unbelievable."
Tan Qinggu looked excited as he said to Gao Yuan, "Kunlun Asking the Way is now getting tens of millions of visits a day. You have to understand, we're a purely academic website, and entirely in Chinese. For us to become this popular can only be described as terrifying."
Gao Yuan nodded lightly. Once the current wave of hype subsided, Kunlun Asking the Way's traffic would inevitably fall as well. But no matter what, their goal had been achieved—and had far exceeded expectations.
As Kunlun Asking the Way's popularity soared, more domestic research institutions extended olive branches, granting it copyright licenses to enrich its database.
In short, through Gao Yuan's own efforts, the military's leadership in supporting it, and help from other research institutes, Kunlun Asking the Way had truly been built up.
In materials science, there were four top international journals: Nature, Science, publications of the North American Chemical Society, and Advanced Materials.
But the academic world now generally believed that the sudden emergence of the freak known as Kunlun Asking the Way had thoroughly shaken the status of the four major materials-science journals. They might even face a reshuffling in the future.
Tan Qinggu said seriously to Gao Yuan, "I have two ideas right now. First, we should resort to legal action and sue those people illegally translating your papers. Take them to court!"
"Second, while the timing is right, should we consider founding our own academic journal based on Kunlun Asking the Way?"
Gao Yuan smiled faintly. "I've happened to consider both of those issues."
"First, there's no rush to sue. We can issue a statement reserving the right to pursue liability. After all, with translations spreading on such a massive scale, legal action isn't realistic. Lawsuits cost money too. We can't
