599: Chapter 598 Private Academic Lecture!

Three hours later.

The private plane they were on crossed the entire North America continent and landed at the airport in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

Unlike the depression on the West Coast, the East Coast's Massachusetts, having gathered a large number of top universities and high-tech enterprises, had a much better overall social landscape.

The cabin door opened.

Xiang Guangming and Zhao Ming walked down the boarding stairs, surrounded by a group of security personnel.

On the airport tarmac.

A group of high-ranking officials from Massachusetts had long been waiting there.

The governor leading them was a white man who looked to be in his fifties, with his hair combed meticulously.

Seeing Xiang Guangming, he immediately walked up with a face full of smiles.

"Academician Xiang! Welcome! Welcome to our beautiful Massachusetts!"

The governor enthusiastically reached out both hands and gripped Xiang Guangming's hand tightly; his eager appearance was just short of kneeling down to lick his shoes.

"Mr. Governor, you are too kind."

Xiang Guangming wore a warm smile on his face as he exchanged pleasantries with him.

Zhao Ming followed quietly behind Xiang Guangming, like the most ordinary accompanying assistant, silently observing everything before him.

He saw that although those high-ranking officials of Massachusetts wore enthusiastic smiles on their faces, deep within their eyes hid greed and calculations that could not be concealed.

Clearly, what they valued was not Xiang Guangming himself, but the endless clean energy he represented behind him, and the huge economic benefits that came with it.

That afternoon.

At a construction site in the southern suburbs of Cambridge, the groundbreaking ceremony for the third "Golden Crow" Controlled Nuclear Fusion power station in North America was grandly held.

Almost all the high-ranking officials of Massachusetts were present.

Each one was dressed in a suit and leather shoes.

Their faces were overflowing with enthusiastic smiles.

Amidst enthusiastic applause, Xiang Guangming, as the general project manager, walked onto the red-carpeted rostrum.

"Ladies and gentlemen! My friends!"

Xiang Guangming stood behind the podium, his gaze sweeping over the pair after pair of expectant eyes below, a confident smile on his face.

"Today, we stand here together to witness the beginning of a new era! In Chinese mythology, the Golden Crow is the symbol of the sun. And today, on this great land of Massachusetts, we will raise a sun that belongs to us, the Eagle Nation, that will never go out..."

His speech was extremely infectious, and thunderous applause immediately erupted from the audience.

The groundbreaking ceremony concluded in a warm atmosphere.

After the ceremony ended, Xiang Guangming's party did not stay for long.

The president of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology personally sent an invitation, cordially inviting Xiang Guangming, a former visiting professor, to return to his alma mater for a visit.

Xiang Guangming "readily" agreed.

And he announced that he would hold a high-level private academic lecture at the Holy Auditorium of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to officially establish the "Frontiers of Science".

...

Night fell.

Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Holy Auditorium.

This building with over a hundred years of history was brightly lit tonight, and every seat was taken.

In the auditorium that could accommodate hundreds of people, it was filled with invited elites from the academic world.

Many of them were authorities in their respective fields, genius figures who once stood at the pinnacle of the pyramid of human knowledge.

But in today's world where Chinese technology is rising explosively, the former glory and pride of these people seemed somewhat dim.

Coming here today.

Everyone had only one purpose.

That was to see with their own eyes that legendary Chinese Academician Xiang Guangming, and to hope to join the "Frontiers of Science" organization he was about to establish.
