The spacious conference room was brilliantly lit, and the attendees, who were mostly renowned scholars from both domestic and overseas or even top mathematicians, took their seats. Half of them were foreign scholars.
Most of the domestic attendees were from the mathematical and physical circles, with some from political circles and influential officials. Among them were the vice mayor of the capital and deputy-level committee members. Their appearance here represented national attention and support.
In addition, there were a very few special guests.
Lin Xiaoqing, Zhao Linlin, and Xu Chao, for instance, were here specifically to watch Zhao Yi's presentation.
For Zhao Yi, today was an important day, so naturally a few 'family tickets' were available.
The conference was about to begin.
Cameras had been set up in the corridors on both sides and in the middle. The open space in the front row was filled with photography and recording equipment.
