Indeed, Tom guessed right.

At the same time,

Just as Mike was driving to Science headquarters.

The Nature headquarters, even though it was late at night, was still full, with not a single editor leaving or anyone leaving early.

In the conference room,

Old men with gray hair sat down in order.

The faces of each of them were serious and solemn, but their eyes revealed a trace of excitement and excitement.

Thanks to Nature's review mechanism, they were one step ahead of Science and discovered the paper submitted by Wang Fan at the first time.

And the chief editor takes it very seriously.

At that time, I called directly and went through it in detail with my deputy editor.

After both of them made sure that there was no problem,

An emergency meeting of the Scientific Management Committee was decisively convened.

The so-called scientific management committee, to put it simply, is a high-level organization within Nature, and in layman's terms, it functions as the academic committee of Science, and the nature of the two is almost the same.

"I believe that everyone here has read this paper before attending the meeting, and they also know what kind of energy density data is contained in this paper."

“4400 maAh/g！”

"This is far beyond the current market, the world's first-class laboratory data, unceremoniously said, this silicon carbon anode material material, will directly affect the academic research of energy materials and the development of the industry, and even related to the world's trends."

"Finally, I would like to say that from the perspective of the paper alone, there is no problem, and other than that, I would like to ask everyone here, is this paper authentic and reliable?"

"Have you done any feasibility experiments?"

"This determines our level of attitude towards this paper next."

At the end of the meeting,

The chairman of the scientific management committee slowly stood up, glanced around the audience, and then asked very seriously.

The voice fell,

Everyone is waiting for the news and looking forward to witnessing this moment.

"Dingding......

A lab leader's cell phone rings.

After connecting it, hearing the contents inside, the person in charge immediately shouted:

"Experimental validation is out."

"In accordance with the methods and methods written in the paper, we have successfully improved our original material by 10% on the basis of the original performance that cannot continue to break through."

"This proves that some of the mixed proportioning systems in the paper are correct, and it also directly proves the authenticity of the data!"

In a word,

There was a shocked look in the eyes of the audience.

Are you kidding?

Just a very rough rough tentative experimental verification of the general direction.

The results are so obvious.

Then the performance of the ion battery built with the silicon carbon anode material.

How exaggerated would it be?

“ Oh， my god！”

"Looks like I'm going to witness history once."

Someone sighed.

Then the old man continued:

"So I propose to get in touch with the author of this paper immediately, and after asking for his opinion, I will immediately publish this paper urgently, which is the first world-class great work of Nature this year."

"Its influence will become unprecedented!"

On this side, it was morning in Huaguo.

Wang Fan who is still asleep,

I was woken up by a phone call from Nature.

"Who?" Wang Fan asked.

"Is it Professor Wang Fanwang?"

"Yes, I'm Wang Fan, but did you make the wrong call, I'm not a professor, just a student, it should be the same name and surname."

Wang Fan then replied.

At this moment, he had no idea that the editors of Nature would contact him so soon.

I just thought someone had made the wrong call.

It's just very coincidental that it has the same name and surname.

"What, just a student at the moment?"

The other side of the phone.

The staff member looked shocked, and then asked:

"Professor Wang, I'm sure my phone call is not wrong, this is the contact information attached to the back of the email you sent us."

"Did you send an email to the journal Nature recently?"

He continued to ask on the phone.

"Yes, I sent an email."

Hearing this, Wang Fan reacted suddenly and instantly sobered up.

I finally understood why Professor Wang was called as soon as he opened his mouth on the other side.

Because that thing, as long as a normal person looks at it, he will not think that a student can study it.

"Not long ago, about a week ago, I sent an email to the journal Nature, but I didn't expect a response so soon."

"What is the ...... of this paper of mine?"

Wang Fan opened his mouth to ask, but before he could finish asking, the other side of the phone rang again, and he seemed to be excited because he had confirmed Wang Fan's identity:

"Wang Jiao...... Student, your paper has been reviewed by the editor. ”

"It's going to be published now."

"We're going to open a separate series of pages for this one of your papers."

On the phone, the staff of Nature said with great sincerity.

Hearing this, Wang Fan almost subconsciously agreed.

After all, he said he wanted it to be published in one of the two top journals.

Expand your reach.

However, just as he was about to agree, he heard a ding-dong sound, and the computer in front of him received an email at the same time, which was written on the head of the Science Academic Committee.

After an evening of urgent discussions,

For the first time, the Science Academic Committee made a rare special event.

Compresses time to the extreme.

In order to be able to publish in advance.

Through some channels, they also know that this paper is not only submitted to them.

"Wait for me a little bit."

Wang Fan clicked on the email, and after browsing for a while, a bright smile appeared on his face, because what was said in this document was almost exactly the same as what the Nature staff said on the phone, and even the conditions of Science were better.

"I'm so sorry, I just got a reply from Science."

"They also promised me to get to the publication as quickly as possible."

"And set up a separate layout."

The voice fell,

The other side of the phone immediately became anxious, and hurriedly said: "Student Wang, you should believe us Nature, although we and Nature are known as the two academic journals on a par with the industry, but in the field of materials science, we are more than Nature." ”

"If you're willing to publish in Nature, we're willing to ......... on the original basis"

On the other hand, Science saw that Wang Fan did not reply, and seemed to realize something, and immediately contacted through some channels, just like Nature's approach, which was to increase the chips and give some additional conditions.

Nature and Science do this, but don't think they're inferior.

Actually, the average paper is really not worth it.

Only when encountering silicon carbon anode materials, world-class discoveries that can directly promote the industrial upgrading of the entire industry, will they bow their arrogant heads.

Because they all know,

This paper was not published in their journal.

So for the next period of time,

With the further expansion of the influence of silicon carbon anode materials.

Any journal of Science and Nature will face a decline in fame, or even fall out of the original level.

This is almost fatal for them!
