For safety, under Chen Xu's arrangement, Cai Weiyi borrowed equipment from the best laboratory in the city and repeated the experiments several times before he wrote a paper and submitted it to an international journal.
First, he submitted it to "Chemical Reviews," which had the largest impact factor in the chemistry category. According to his expectations, such a significant discovery should be accepted.
However, not long after, he received a rejection notice. Looking at the timing of the rejection, he estimated that it didn't even pass the initial review.
Undeterred, he submitted it to "Nature Chemistry," which was a sub-journal of the renowned "Nature" magazine.
It was still rejected, and even faster this time.
He was a bit stunned, and had no choice but to approach his boss.
"Since it can't pass through international journals, why not submit it to domestic ones?" Chen Xu clearly anticipated this outcome and wasn't very surprised.
