Academician Li's envy was not without reason.
In fact, there was probably no one in Hua Nation's academic community who did not envy Lu Zhou.
With the halos of the Nobel Prize and Fields Medal above his head, elected as an academician of both academies in one go, and projects worth two or three hundred billion approved with just a few words from him, tens of thousands of research dogs had to run themselves ragged because of a single paper he wrote.
And he had achieved all of that before even reaching thirty...
For countless people, his accomplishments had essentially marked the pinnacle of being a scholar.
However, some things could not be gained through envy.
Beyond envy, Academician Li Qingquan truly admired Professor Lu. Any one of the earth-shaking achievements Professor Lu had made after returning to the country was something many people would need a lifetime to accomplish—and might still fail to accomplish in a lifetime.
Someone capable of doing all that truly deserved such importance.
At the very least, compared with those bureaucratic scholars who occupied positions without contributing anything, he was leagues above them.
Just as the Science and Industry Bureau's seminar on the Lunar Surface Mass Driver Project was drawing to a close, the project's initiator, Lu Zhou, had already left Shangjing and returned to Jinling.
By now, the work of the Lunar Orbital Construction Committee had basically gotten on track. With the major tasks largely assigned, Lu Zhou finally had time to shift some of his attention away from the Lunar Orbital Construction Committee and back to Jin University.
Along with matters concerning graduation theses, he had basically been showing up at his office in the School of Mathematics these past few days.
