Chapter 124: Chapters 124, 125 The Judging Panel Is Stumped (Subscription Extra X2) Chapter 124: Chapters 124, 125 The Judging Panel Is Stumped (Subscription Extra X2) He Xingzhou accepted the certificate, and he himself hadn’t expected that he would graduate with a doctorate just by attending a graduation ceremony?
Below the stage, the students witnessing this scene could think of only one word: “He’s so badass!”
“We receive graduation certificates, but he’s getting a doctoral diploma! People really can’t be compared!”
“What are you thinking? He Xingzhou is definitely going to be someone who changes the course of human civilization, we’d do well just to change our own fates!”
“A doctorate? What’s that? If you ask me, he should be elected as an Academician of the Academy of Sciences directly!”
“Haven’t you heard? He’s going to be awarded this year’s Nobel Prize in Physics; it’s just that he hasn’t said yet whether he’ll accept it or not!”
“I don’t know about others, but I am certainly impressed!”
Not a single person felt it was unfair or felt jealous, because the gap between them and He Xingzhou was vast; when they looked up, all they felt was admiration!
He Xingzhou accepted the certificate, and Liu Yuan said, “It’s not over yet.”
“Since you’ve graduated, He Xingzhou, your title of ‘student’ will have to change.”
The ceremonial hostess smiled as she came on stage, handing Liu Yuan another certificate and a medal.
Liu Yuan held up the certificate and solemnly handed it to He Xingzhou, announcing to the entire school and to society, “Here, we at Beijing University of Science and Technology, authorize Comrade He Xingzhou the position of Honorary Lifetime Professor! At our Science and Technology University, he will always enjoy the treatment of the highest-ranked professor!”
This had been discussed earlier between Liu Yuan and He Xingzhou; in fact, they had considered directly appointing He Xingzhou as the Honorary Dean for life, or even Honorary President.
But He Xingzhou felt that he hadn’t contributed enough to his alma mater to deserve such positions; being an honorary professor was enough.
The university committee was also pleased to facilitate this. This time he’s an Honorary Lifetime Professor, and next time there could still be further honorary promotions!
“Thank you to the school for bestowing this honor upon me!” As He Xingzhou received the certificate, the hall erupted into another round of warm applause.
Liu Yuan said, “Now that you are an honorary professor of our school, Professor He, please say a few words. Today’s graduation ceremony not only sees the participation of the graduates but also students currently enrolled, as well as countless viewers from society.”
He Xingzhou nodded, Liu Yuan and others left the stage, and the focus of the entire auditorium centered on him.
His expression was calm, showing no signs of nervousness.
On either side of the stage, Xu Zhilan and Ding Yue guarded the exits, preventing any potential incidents.
Xu Zhilan stole a glance at him, seemingly realizing something, and a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
“Teachers, classmates, friends, hello, I am He Xingzhou, a Planet Builder.” A familiar opening.
Some were puzzled, “Why does he keep emphasizing that he is a Planet Builder?”
“I am very thankful to the school for this honor, I will spare you the long and tedious speeches,” He Xingzhou said, “Now that I am an honorary professor of this university, let me say a few words about your future, and the future of our country and nation!”
At this point, every listener straightened up, and reporters grew tense.
Currently, the whole society is aware that He Xingzhou is involved in a major plan, his every action correlates with the country’s future planning. Today, is He Xingzhou going to reveal information?
The venue, filled with tens of thousands of people, fell silent.
He Xingzhou continued, “Firstly about technology, our technology is entering an era of rapid development, and all categories are in need of high-tech talent. No matter what major you study, what knowledge you learn, the deeper and more refined your studies, the more you will become a person useful to society and the country!”
“We hope that everyone can persistently continue on the path of learning…”
“Another thing, even more important! I am here to call on everyone to pay attention to ocean pollution! Pay attention to Mutant Creatures!”
“Those who follow the news know that in recent years, around the world, more and more Mutant Creatures have appeared in the seas, and they have seriously disrupted the ecological balance! If we do not take this seriously, we will surely pay a painful price!”
“Yes, indeed there are many Mutant Creatures!” An audience member watching the graduation ceremony online discussed.
“I heard they attack fishermen and even dare to attack cargo ships!”
“He Xingzhou specifically mentioned this issue, could there be another reason?”
He Xingzhou spoke some more, concluding, “Dear teachers and students, please be prepared. Within two years, there will be a major change in the world; when the time comes, every one of us will need to make an effort and take action!”
“I hope everyone will not waste time! Thank you!”
“What is the major change within two years?” He Xingzhou’s words hooked everyone’s curiosity.
“If it were an ordinary person, I’d definitely think he was just being mysterious. But this is He Xingzhou speaking, he must know some significant secret!”
“From the sound of it, is this major change related to us?”
“It’s annoying when someone only tells you half the story!”
Below the stage, a student couldn’t help shouting, “Dr. He, what exactly is the big change? Can you reveal anything?”
He Xingzhou replied with a smile, “I cannot disclose it for now, but when the time comes, you’ll naturally know.”
“Isn’t that the same as saying nothing?” the audience grumbled.
Another student called out, “Professor He, I heard that the Nobel Prize has awarded you this year’s Nobel Prize in Physics, will you go and accept the award?”
As he asked this question, everyone fell silent once again, especially the reporters who had been eager to ask this question. Now that a student had raised it, it was perfect timing!
