Chapter 870 - 715 Scholar
"Matter, energy, and information are the basic elements that constitute the natural world."
In the chapel of the Energy Academy, a group of elites, who emerged through rigorous assessments from various counties and prefectural cities, focused their sharp gazes on the figure giving the lecture.
And this lecturing figure was none other than Gu Jinlai, who completed the scholar examination a month ago and was awarded the scholar degree.
The Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty implements a nine-rank official system.
Village Chiefs are Ninth Rank, County Masters are Seventh Rank, City Lords are Fifth Rank, Daoist Masters are Third Rank, and above them are Star Lords at Second Rank, Star Gods at First Rank, with State Governors and Star Lords being of Super Grade.
Although scholars do not have an official position, they are highly esteemed and enjoy Sixth Rank treatment, while university scholars, significantly more prestigious than scholars, enjoy Fourth Rank treatment and often lead specific research projects.
Above them are the Cabinet Scholars, who rank as Star Lords and report directly to the Elders and the Deity of the Moon.
Scholars of the Sixth Rank are equivalent in esteem to top Level 1 or 2 professors on Blue Star.
This is evident as, out of the four candidates who completed the ten-question examination for scholarly assessment, only he received the scholar degree.
Now, as he begins his lecture, the audience gathers in droves.
If not for the capacity limit, this large classroom, which seats two hundred, might have been filled with hundreds or even thousands.
"Energy refers to resources that can provide power, where energy often means thermal energy, electrical energy, light energy, mechanical energy, chemical energy, etc., providing kinetic energy, mechanical energy, and energy material for humanity... However, those basic forms of energy utilization were phased out hundreds of years ago, and since the use of nuclear energy developed a thousand years ago, this form of energy has penetrated every major enterprise with mechanics."
