Primo gave detailed feedback to Nature Physics that evening, and explained to the editorial office that he would not edit this paper again in the future.

Professor Primo, who is already 76 years old, is ready to dedicate his future years to the laboratory again, and the reason why he does not do so is actually some unwillingness.

Primo's team set up the project ten years ago, but after more than ten years of no progress, it was given the lead by a group of young Xia people.

Primo also checked the information of Pangu Technology and Xiao Ming in detail, Xiao Ming is a major in finance. Pangu Technology has the fields of biology and computers, but it does not involve physics.

He began to study the paper of Pangu Technology in detail, hoping to find some breakthrough in it.

The question was before the editorial board of the journal Nature Physics.

Primo made it very clear in the evaluation report that Pangu Technology's paper is logically clear and the regulations are clear, and there is absolutely no problem.

The C14 micronuclear battery is not the first discovery in the human field, but it must be the first use of human beings in the field of micronucleus, which is the moment that affects the use of human energy.

But there is also a key statement in the report that the Cavendish lab has no way to repeat the paper's experiments.

This statement stuck the editorial office of Nature.

There is a condition for Nature to publish a paper, that is, other laboratories can repeat the experiment according to the paper, so as to prove the correctness of the other party's experiment.

Repeat experiments can be performed before or after the publication of the paper.

But the Cavendish Laboratory, the world's No. 1 physics laboratory, has said that there is no way to repeat the experiment, so can other laboratories repeat the experiment?

Failure to repeat an experiment means that a general conclusion has not been reached, which is academically unacceptable.

This undoubtedly declared the death sentence of the paper, and the journal Nature could use this conclusion not to adopt the Pangu paper.

"What do you think?" said Fell, throwing the question to the review team and asking for input from the other teams.

The members of the group expressed their opinions one after another.

"If you can't replicate the experiment, then the experiment can't be proven, which means that the paper is problematic. In order to protect the authority of our journal, I recommend that the paper not be published for the time being. Even if it is to be announced, it will be announced until there is a laboratory to repeat the experiment. ”

"I agree, although the other party is Pangu Technology, and the other party publishes heavyweight life science papers on Cell, but one thing is the same, and we still have to be cautious. ”

"I disagree with you. Someone said, "Professor Primmo said that the experiment cannot be repeated, and this is a technical problem, not a matter of principle." The reason why the experiment cannot be repeated is that the current technology of the Cavendish laboratory does not meet the standards of Pangu Technology, which does not mean that Pangu Technology's experiment cannot be repeated. ”

"Our technology can't get to Vega, can we say that Vega doesn't exist?"

The words of the group members made everyone speechless, and it seemed that this was the truth.

Someone else put forward a rebuttal, "This is a paper written by Xia Guoren, since three years ago, we must review Xia Guoren's paper in detail, the experiment cannot be repeated, is it possible that their experiment is inherently problematic?"

"You are a double standard for the Xia people, if this paper was written by Orientals, everyone might have happily published it, how can you still doubt this and that?"

The two factions argued and quarreled.

In the audit team, many members are physics teachers in colleges and universities, and they can't agree that Xia Guo has made such great progress in basic science and technology from the bottom of their hearts, and they can't bear that the economy, culture, and science and technology that the West has led for hundreds of years have been surpassed by Xia Guo.

30% of the judges agreed to publish, 40% refused to publish, and the rest remained neutral.

According to the rules, the publication of such controversial papers is risky, and papers with no more than 60% of the votes of the review team cannot be published.

This rule is to maintain the authority of Nature.

But Fell made up his mind and said, "Put it in the latest and publish it together, and put the title on the cover." ”

"But ......"

The members of the judging panel still had a lot of questions.

"No, but. Fell: "I have a problem, and Professor Primmore has made it very clear in his report, that this may be an experiment to change human energy use." ”

The boss has the final say.

The latest issue of the journal was published three days later, and now Fell had to put the paper in the latest issue, either by adding space or changing the draft.

Fair said: "Let's change the manuscript, I retracted the paper on solid-liquid mixed state written by the South Korean scientific team, what kind of stuff was written, the more I look at it, the more I feel that this is not an innovative exploration, fried cold rice." ”

The editorial team of Nature Physics began to get busy, and all 200 samples that had been printed were collected and reprinted.

Fell was a little nervous, although Nature Physics was published weekly, it had been two years since there had been a major paper published in such an authoritative journal, and the content used to be published was a well-deserved in-depth study in the known field.

This time is definitely different, and Fair can imagine the sensational effect of micronuclear batteries in academia and science and technology.

Nature is bound to surpass Science again to become the world's most authoritative academic journal.

"Is there any news from the UK?" asked Xu Limin.

Two months later, Xiao Ming finally walked out of the science and technology park for the first time and had a meal with Xu Limin and others in the restaurant.

"It doesn't matter if there is news or not, it doesn't have any impact on our exploration. Xiao Ming sandwiched a piece of fat mutton, and the smooth and moderate mutton tasted just right with sesame sauce.

"The food in the canteen of the Science and Technology Park is too simple, so make some hot pot and improve the food for everyone. Xiao Ming put the fat sheep in his mouth, chewed it heavily, and took another sip of beer.

"It doesn't matter whether Nature is accepted or not, I just hope that they will treat our paper fairly, after all, Xia's academic community has always been discriminated against in the West," Xu said. ”

Xiao Ming took some enoki mushrooms, put them in his mouth and ate them, and said, "Is there absolute fairness in this world? Of course, it is good for Nature to be published, but we should not care too much if it cannot be published, you and I have a little bit of confidence. ”

Xiao Ming put down his chopsticks and said, "In the future, the temple of the global academic community will not be in the West, it must be in the Xia Kingdom. What "Nature", "Science", "Cell", our academic journal is the most authoritative in the world. ”

Xu Limin laughed, "Cheers!"
