Huazhong University of Science and Technology

Huazhong University of Science and Technology appears in elsewhere's corpus mainly as an alma mater for founders in two high-profile technology ventures. Feng Ji, the founder of Game Science and lead producer of *Black Myth: Wukong*, studied biomedical engineering there before becoming a lead planner on Tencent's *Asura* and eventually leaving in 2014 to start his own studio . Xiao Hong, founder of the AI agent company Butterfly Effect — whose product Manus was acquired by Meta in 2025 for a reported price second only to WhatsApp and Scale AI in the company's history — also comes from the university, as do his early partners, building the company from a residential apartment without overseas degrees or big-tech executive backgrounds . The institution also drew attention in 2023 when researchers there successfully replicated the LK-99 magnetic levitation experiment during the global rush to verify claims about the copper-doped lead-apatite superconductor .
