Received minor revision on February 4. There were three reviewers: I believe two gave minor revisions, and one might have accepted or suggested minor revisions. They only provided a brief evaluation, stating that the research in the article is interesting and requesting a supplementary research methodology flowchart. The editor allowed four weeks for revisions.
Revised on February 23. During this period, I requested assistance from Dr. W from Cornell University and Prof. S from a research institute in the United States to improve and refine the language. Two mechanism diagrams and one flowchart were also meticulously designed by professionals.

Special thanks to STOTEN, and I encourage more innovative achievements to be submitted to STOTEN. I hope STOTEN continues to thrive and improve.

Thank you to the editor-in-chief and the reviewers, very professional and patient, I have gained constructive comments, and the article has been improved!
I heard classmates say that there is a saying about watering in general journals, but for me at this stage, it is already very good. I am more than halfway through my master's degree and I hope to make further progress in the remaining one and a half years and publish more papers!
The Year of the Ox has arrived, I wish all of you on the scientific research road smooth sailing, soaring success, and all your articles well received!
