Seeing the old man, Zhou Wang instantly felt a sense of reverence.
This man, surnamed Lei, was an academician of the Huaxia Academy of Sciences, a renowned astronomer, a recipient of the special stipend from the XX Institute, and a leading figure in the academic world among alumni of Jing City First Middle School. Zhou Wang had once sat in the audience and listened to his lecture before.
Academician Lei was already eighty years old, one of the pioneers in rebuilding the glory of Huaxia, with a highly esteemed reputation.
The other elderly man beside him, who was in his fifties or sixties, was also remarkable. According to Jiang Qingkui's soft introduction, he was Academician Zhao of the Huaxia Academy of Engineering, an expert in petroleum and chemical fields, and also a recipient of the special stipend.
These two were the most heavyweight figures present.
