The Red Era, the Opening University Speech

Chapter 128 Even if you have liver all over your body, you will die of exhaustion

After hearing Professor Zhang's confident answer, Qian Shuyan still found it magical even though he had been prepared.

Although he had promised Li Mu before, he couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart.

However, Professor Zhang is one of the most authoritative professors in the field of steel metallurgy in the country, and his judgment is unlikely to be wrong.

"Professor Zhang, thank you for your praise. Actually, this is just my initial idea. There are still many areas that need improvement." Li Mu finally spoke from the side.

He should be humble when he should be humble.

In terms of semiconductors, he has now learned enough. Even if he cannot reach the level of experts in later generations, he is definitely a powerful leader standing at the forefront of this era.

But steel metallurgy is by no means something that can be mastered by simply making a top-blown oxygen converter.

The information he memorized might be enough to deal with ordinary students, but it was basically impossible to fool a big shot like Professor Zhang.

Professor Zhang said: "There are some areas that need improvement, but it does not affect its overall feasibility. We can continue to explore it. I am sure that we are not far from producing results!"

Hearing what he said, several graduate students who were eavesdropping at the door of the laboratory were shocked:
"Professor Zhang actually approved of that student's proposal."

"That's impossible. We haven't made any breakthroughs in top-blown oxygen converter technology. How could he have found a way?"

"Whether it's true or not, won't you know if you go and take a look?"

……

Hearing the voice behind him, Professor Zhang turned around and scolded them. The graduate students then quieted down, but their faces were still full of dissatisfaction.

When he turned around, Qian Shuyan smiled and said, "Since you think it's feasible, how about starting from today, you and Li Mu's research group will conduct joint research together?"

"No, no, Dean, I want to apply to join Li Mu's research group. With him as the leader, we will completely realize the top-blown oxygen converter technology!"

Professor Zhang shook his head.

Hearing this, Qian Shuyan was stunned.

It sounds a bit magical that a professor works under a student to do research.

After listening to this, Li Mu waved his hands and said, "Professor Zhang, whether in terms of knowledge or status, you are more suitable than me to be the host of the project.

Professor Zhang said: "There is no such thing as a first come first served. The one who has achieved success is the teacher. The fact that you have produced a nearly complete top-blown oxygen converter technology proves that your accumulation in this area is not inferior to mine."

"Besides, you have already completed 90% of the top-blown oxygen converter technology. What's the point of me being the leader?"

His eyes were sincere, and he did not feel the slightest bit of pain because a difficult problem he had worked hard on for several years was easily solved by someone else.

After all, everything they do is for the country!

Li Mu smiled helplessly and said, "Professor Zhang, it's not that I want to shirk my responsibilities, but I have to go to the Semiconductor Research Institute every day, so I'm afraid I can't handle both."

"How about this, I come here once a day and discuss the progress of the experiment with you, okay?"

"You will still be the project leader!"

Professor Zhang shook his head and said firmly: "I don't have the habit of stealing other people's credit. If you don't have time, I can temporarily take charge of the experimental process, but the leader is still you!"

"Even if you can't come to the lab every day, as long as you come every few days, it's fine!"

Seeing Professor Zhang's firm attitude, Li Mu had no choice but to agree.

Afterwards, the two of them decided on the time and frequency of their visits to the laboratory, and then immersed themselves in the remaining exploration of the top-blown oxygen converter.

……

Half a day later.

Li Mu finally got rid of Professor Zhang, who had transformed into a curious baby, and returned to the dormitory.

Thinking of the expectations of his superiors, he, who was already a little tired, immediately got up from the bed and began to gradually improve the plan for the top-blown oxygen converter.

the next day.

Li Mu got up before dawn.

I practiced boxing seven or eight times on the school playground. After exercising, I had a quick breakfast and immediately went to the steel metallurgy laboratory.

……

Arriving at the door of the laboratory, Li Mu thought he had arrived early enough, but he saw a figure inside who was busy working.

He was surprised and asked, "Professor Zhang, didn't you go back to rest?"

"No need to rest." Professor Zhang waved his hand when he heard the voice. Probably because he stayed up late, he paused for a moment before realizing it was Li Mu. He turned around and said:

"Come on, come on, I have a question for you."

"I understand what you mean by supersonic oxygen flow, but how can we ensure that the oxygen is effectively sprayed into the molten pool?"

"Especially this oxygen gun. It is still under research in China and has not been realized at all. How can we achieve supersonic oxygen flow? Do you have any other methods?"

Seeing the bloodshot in Professor Zhang's eyes, Li Mu wanted to ask him to go and rest first.

But he knew in his heart that if he didn't tell him, Professor Zhang would not be able to sleep.

After thinking for a while, Li Mu took out a drawing: "I was actually thinking about this problem yesterday. This is the preliminary drawing of the oxygen gun I completed."

"It consists of nine basic structures: nozzle, inner pipe, middle pipe, flange, oxygen inlet branch pipe, sealing rubber ring, water inlet pipe and water outlet pipe."

"Here are several nozzle structures I designed. High-pressure oxygen enters from the inner tube and is divided into several Laval-type nozzles that first contract and then expand at the junction..."

He carefully introduced the structure and principle of the oxygen gun.

After listening to this, Professor Zhang breathed a sigh of relief and praised: "So that's how it is. This design is really a stroke of genius. Student Li Mu, I think your talent for research and development in the metallurgical industry is even stronger than that in semiconductors!"

"How about...you turn your energy to the metallurgical industry and dig deeper into this industry?"

Li Mu felt a chill in his heart and waved his hands repeatedly: "You are overpraising me! Overpraising me! It's just a momentary inspiration! In fact, I am more interested in semiconductors!"

He felt helpless: the vast knowledge system of semiconductors was enough to make him vomit blood, and now metallurgy...

Even if your whole body is covered with livers, you will still be exhausted to death!
Professor Zhang sighed regretfully: "What a pity!"

"It's okay. Whenever you become interested in the metallurgical industry, come and find me."

"Now that we have the structure of the oxygen lance, I will contact the factory immediately and ask them to make samples."

Having said that, he wanted to go out.

As soon as he lifted his foot, his body began to sway uncontrollably.

Li Mu hurriedly supported him and said, "Professor Zhang, you take a rest first, and leave this matter to me."

"I know someone at Hongxing Steel Mill. If I ask them for help, it will be ready soon."

"Okay." Professor Zhang struggled for a moment, but he was overwhelmed with sleepiness and could only nod helplessly. "I am old after all, not as good as you young people."

……

After leaving Professor Zhang, Li Mu rode his bicycle and quickly headed for the steel mill.

I was already familiar with the old man at the door, so I just greeted him and walked in.

I arrived at the factory director's office and knocked on the door twice.

"Come in." Director Yang put down the pen in his hand and raised his head.

Seeing that it was Li Mu, he stood up enthusiastically and said, "Oh, it's Li Mu, come in and sit down, I have some good tea here, let you try it."

"I won't drink the tea, Director Yang. I came here this time because I want your help with something important." Li Mu said. Director Yang paused while taking the tea leaves and asked in surprise, "Oh, what is it?"

Although Li Mu often came to the steel mill, this was the only time he took the initiative to look for him.

They were polite when we met, but it made people feel that it was difficult to make friends with them.

Li Mu said: "I have been researching top-blown oxygen converter technology recently and need to make equipment such as oxygen lances. I would like to ask you for a favor. Do you think it is okay?"

"Don't worry, I will complete the subsequent procedures through the school and will not cause you any trouble at all."

Hearing this, Director Yang suddenly stood up and said:

"Wait, what did you say you were researching? Top-blown oxygen converter technology?"

"Where's the blueprint? Can you show it to me?"

"Of course." Li Mu took out the blueprints from his bag. Since he wanted to ask the steel rolling mill to make parts, the blueprints must be handed over to them.

Director Yang took the blueprint and stroked the design with his calloused fingertips. The shock in his eyes gradually turned into surprise.

He has a good reserve of professional knowledge to be able to become the director of a steel mill.

There is no problem with this drawing from a structural perspective.

Director Yang looked at Li Mu and said, "I will arrange for people to start production right away."

"If you can really make a top-blown oxygen converter, you will have done a great job!"

"With it, our country's steel production will definitely be able to reach a higher level!"

As the director of a steel rolling mill, he was well aware of the disadvantages of open-hearth steelmaking.

Li Mu smiled and said, "Then I'll leave it to Director Yang to be responsible for the production of parts."

"Okay, leave it to me." Director Yang promised.

Now he finally understood why the higher-ups attached so much importance to Li Mu.

……

Leaving Director Yang's office.

Li Mu originally wanted to leave, but then he thought that since he was already here, he might as well go and see Zhang Kai and the others.

It happened to be time for lunch, so he went to the cafeteria to look for someone.

When I arrived at the cafeteria, I took a quick look and soon saw Wang Ya and three others sitting together.

He walked over and was about to say hello, but he found that they were all holding a wooden Rubik's Cube in their hands and twisting it very hard.

Even Wang Ya, who always studies hard, held the Rubik's Cube, dancing her slender fingers constantly, looking for a way to restore the pattern.

Xu Da Mao, who was sitting next to the four people, said, "See, I told you that you are not good enough. Let me show you my skills."

As he said that, he took the Rubik's Cube from Wang Ya's hand.

Li Mu's face darkened. He walked forward, took the Rubik's Cube first, and asked, "Where did you get this thing?"

With just one sentence, he flipped his fingers and the Rubik's Cube returned to its original shape in an instant.

Zhang Kai, Shao Yanan and the other two were so stunned by the speed that they forgot to be surprised that Li Mu actually came.

"I happened to see it. Yanan said he wanted to play, so I followed suit." Wang Ya was stunned when her Rubik's Cube was snatched away. She turned her head and looked at Li Mu.

She found that the Rubik's Cube returned to its original shape in the blink of an eye. Her black and white eyes widened slightly, full of surprise: "Hey, how did you solve it so quickly?"

"Actually, this thing is very simple. There is a formula. Just follow it." Li Mu said with a smile.

Zhang Kai next to him finally reacted and said, "Does it take a formula to twist this little thing?"

"Of course." Li Mu nodded, re-scrambled the Rubik's Cube, and then twisted it while saying, "For example, this formula of up, left, down, right, up, left, up, reverse, left, twist it according to the formula and it will return to its original state."

As he finished speaking, the Rubik's Cube in his hand returned to its original shape.

The workers around were all surprised when they saw this:
"It's amazing! Much better than Xu Da Mao."

"Xu Damao said he could unscrew it in a few minutes, but I think it took him less than 10 seconds."

"That was the second time. You see, he tightened it the first time. He just brushed it and it was done. I didn't even see it clearly."

……

Listening to the discussions around him, the frown on Xu Da Mao's face, who had just been suddenly interrupted by Li Mu, deepened.

I just wanted to show off, but I didn't expect to be caught red-handed.

If he offended Li Mu because of this, he would regret it to death.

Thinking of this, he said quickly:
"He made this Rubik's Cube. Isn't it normal that he is better than me?"

When people around heard Xu Damao say that the Rubik's Cube was made by Li Mu, they were all stunned.

Wang Ya couldn't help but ask, "Did you really make this Rubik's Cube?"

"That's impossible. Rubik's Cube is interesting, but would you spend time on it?" Zhang Kai also looked unconvinced.

Compared with integrated circuits and chips, the Rubik's Cube is not even up to standard.

"It was my idea, but it was made by Mr. Zhong from our hospital." Li Mu smiled and explained.

After saying that, he looked at Zhang Kai again: "This Rubik's Cube is more than just fun. When I designed it, I originally wanted to give it to children to play with."

"Can this thing really make children smarter as Xu Damao said?" a worker couldn't help but ask.

Although they also think the Rubik's Cube is interesting, it is a bit too bizarre to think that one can become smarter by playing with it.

"It's not accurate to say that they become smarter." Li Mu smiled and said, "To be more precise, it improves their hand-eye coordination and cognitive flexibility, and also cultivates their memory, sense of space, concentration and reaction speed."

Hearing his words, the workers around him were suddenly in an uproar.

These days, factory workers are very popular and there are very few single ones. Most of them have children, and some even have three or four.

When he heard that it could make his child smarter, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"I can guarantee on behalf of brother Li Mu that everyone in Nanluoguxiang has already got a Rubik's Cube. If you don't believe me, just go and ask." Xu Da Mao stood up and said in support.

Upon hearing this, the workers in the factory immediately believed it to about 70%. This was mainly because Li Mu, a college student, spoke up for them. Otherwise, even if Xu Da Mao had exaggerated, they would not have believed it.

……

Afterwards, after chatting with Wang Ya and the other three for a while, Li Mu returned to school.

When he arrived at the Iron and Steel Metallurgy Laboratory and was about to knock on the door, he saw a graduate student inside making a hushing gesture.

When I walked in, I saw Professor Zhang sleeping soundly on the wooden sofa in the lounge.

The graduate student asked Li Mu to come out, and then asked awkwardly, "What do you want to do?"

Although Li Mu is now the leader of their project, it is still a bit difficult for him to call a student who is younger than him and has not even graduated yet as a team leader.
