"Your Majesty!" Upon seeing Zhu Wencong approaching, Mendeleev felt extremely honored and happy.
Zhu Wencong and Mendeleev shook hands firmly, feeling as if he had finally met this legendary deity-like figure.
The periodic table of elements was published in 1869, and its founder was none other than Mendeleev, a grand ancestor of chemistry.
"Your Majesty, you are too kind! I can't believe I'm here, let alone being summoned by Your Majesty.
May I know what Your Majesty wishes to instruct? The research project you previously assigned still hasn't made much progress," said Mendeleev excitedly.
At 33 years old, Mendeleev was at the pinnacle of his life, reaping rewards in both his academic and professional careers, training batches of disciples.
Zhu Wencong gestured Mendeleev to sit in the pavilion in the garden, where he was now holding a post at the Jiuding Research Institute.
