Carl smiled at everyone and gestured, saying:
"Firstly, I must thank BHP Group for their support. Without the group's support, my research would have been difficult to continue."
"Secondly, I must thank Lady Monica; it was she who gave me the opportunity to engage in scientific work."
"Once more, I must thank all my colleagues and students in the experiment group. Without you, I couldn't have achieved this either..."
"Haha..." Blaze laughed heartily below:
"Professor Karl, your speech is too official, too formal. You are the key to everything."
"To you!"
"To Professor Karl!"
"Cheers!"
Everyone raised their glasses, laughter filled the air.
