The Red Era, the Opening University Speech

Chapter 141: It's a good idea, but it's a bit damaging

With relatively complete theoretical guidance, everyone quickly started experimenting with high-temperature resistant materials again.

Laboratory, dormitory, and canteen are the three points in a straight line. After getting up and exercising every day, I start working.

Guan Jianmin couldn't stand it anymore. It would be fine if Li Mu did this without an assistant, but why would he do it with an assistant? Then his assistant's presence would be in vain.

On the fourth day, while Li Mu was eating in the cafeteria, he reminded him seriously: "You can't go on like this. What if something goes wrong with your body again?"

"Problem? What could go wrong?" Li Mu finished the rice in the lunch box in two bites, then took it to the sink to wash.

He is still not used to others helping him wash his lunch boxes.

Guan Jianmin hurriedly followed, and as he walked, he asked, "Have you forgotten the lesson from the last study?"

"Of course I haven't forgotten, but look at my body, do I look like there's something wrong with it?" Li Mu walked forward with his long legs, making a "ku ku" sound. Guan Jianmin behind him almost ran but couldn't catch up.

"This is not just your business. I am also responsible for your health!" After finally catching up to the pool, Guan Jianmin immediately took advantage of Li Mu's time washing the lunch box and said.

He was sent by his superiors to be Li Mu's assistant in order to keep an eye on him and prevent Li Mu from harming his health due to research.

Seeing Guan Jianmin's angry look, Li Mu felt a little embarrassed and said, "I'm really fine. It doesn't affect my health."

"You have spent quite a while in the Iron and Steel Metallurgy Laboratory recently, so you should know the current status of steel production in our country."

"The sooner we can industrialize the top-blown oxygen converter, the sooner our country can avoid greater losses and enhance the strength of its basic industries."

"Do you think I did something wrong?"

Faced with Li Mu's question, Guan Jianmin was slightly stunned. Avoiding losses for the country and improving industrial strength are certainly two good things. How could they be wrong?

"Yes, that's right..." He was about to nod subconsciously, but suddenly realized something was wrong and said with a smile: "This is not the same thing at all."

“The industrialization of the top-blown oxygen converter is important, but your health is more important.”

"The leader personally said that you will definitely become the mainstay of our Xia country's scientific research community in the future and support a piece of the scientific community."

"Then I must not let him down. I won't say anything more. Director Ye and Mr. Xu are still waiting for me. Please help me return the lunch box." Li Mu interrupted quickly, stuffed the lunch box in his pocket and left.

He knew his own body well, and even if it was like last time, he would only be weak for a while at most.

But the industrialization of top-blown oxygen converters cannot be delayed.

Guan Jianmin, holding the lunch box, wanted to speak again to persuade him, but when he looked up, he saw that Li Mu had already run seven or eight meters away. He could only shake his head and sigh helplessly.

……

Back to the Iron and Steel Metallurgy Laboratory.

At this time, Professor Zhang was conducting a hydration experiment on light-burned dolomite. Seeing Li Mu coming back, he happily handed over a set of experimental data:
"Just as you expected, the light-burned dolomite produced pores with radii of 0.0840 μm and 0.010.08 μm, which were successfully destroyed after hydration."

"Now, during the second-step calcination process, the sintering temperature of dolomite will definitely be greatly reduced!"

This result was not unexpected to Li Mu.

He smiled and said, "As expected of Professor Zhang, you found the right water ratio so quickly."

"Okay, I've heard enough flattery. The next step, the second calcination, is the real difficulty. Trying to match the proportions of additives is a huge project!" Professor Zhang said with a smile.

However, after hearing it so many times, the corners of his mouth unconsciously rose.

"I'll help you." Li Mu didn't waste any words and started the experiment with Professor Zhang.

……

The next half month was spent mainly on experiments to find out the effects of iron oxide and rare earth compounds on the sintering density of dolomite.

Finding the right ratio is not easy.

Moreover, each sintering process takes a lot of time and requires constant monitoring, which is very tiring.

Guan Jianmin tried to persuade him again and again, and even talked to Qian Shuyan, but the combined persuasion of the two of them had no effect.

……

Chinese Academy of Sciences, Office of the President.

Looking at Guan Jianmin who came to complain, Guo Mo couldn't help but smile.

"President Guo, you must take good care of Li Mu. Now he won't even listen to what their president says. He keeps giving reasons and almost confused me several times." Guan Jianmin kept sighing.

He talked to Li Mu about his health, and Li Mu talked to him about dedication, the country's gains and losses, and how the world situation was not optimistic.

In short, his further advice would affect the development of Xia's steel industry, which would indirectly hinder the country's rise.

When a hat was put on him, he didn't know whether to stop it or not, and he was full of bitterness.

"Okay, okay, I know the situation, but it's no use for you to tell me about this!" Guo Mo spread his hands helplessly and said, "Although he receives several allowances from us, his actual identity is still a student."

"If Dean Qian can't do anything about it, then I have no reason to do anything about it, not to mention that I'm afraid I can't persuade him as you said."

"Or, why don't you notify his family and try to persuade them?" Guan Jianmin whispered.

It is definitely impossible to inform the superior. It would appear incompetent, but it would bother him.

Then perhaps the only solution is to notify the parents.

Hearing this, Guo Mo hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, regardless of whether it is useful or not, one or two times is fine, but if it happens too much, Li Mu might be dissatisfied."

"It also involves the issue of confidentiality, and it cannot be told casually."

This cannot be done, it will offend people.

Guan Jianmin sighed deeply and said, "Then Dean Guo, do you have any solution? I really can't persuade him anymore!"

"Let me think about it." Guo Mo also had a headache. It was definitely impossible to just leave it alone.

After pondering for a long time, his eyes suddenly lit up and he said, "Li Mu is almost 23 years old this year, right?"

"22, almost 23. According to the information, his birthday is the beginning of autumn. But what does this have to do with persuading him?" Guan Jianmin frowned, not understanding the meaning of the words.

So what if you are almost 23 years old? In Li Mu's words, "You are young and strong. If you don't want to devote your youth and passion to the scientific development of the motherland, what are you thinking about doing?"

"Wait, you mean..." As he was thinking, Guan Jianmin's eyes suddenly lit up and his frown instantly relaxed.

Seeing this, Guo Mo smiled and said:
"Yes, at this age, it's almost time for you to get married."

"Even if I don't want to get married, it's okay to date someone first."

"If we can't manage it, let's find someone else to manage it!"

Guan Jianmin also smiled when he heard this.

This method is a bit crude, but it is effective and can solve Li Mu's problem of balancing his future life and scientific research once and for all.

……

Late at night, in the Iron and Steel Metallurgy Laboratory.

Li Mu rubbed his brows, put down the test tube containing rare earth oxides in his hand, looked up and saw that there were only three or four drowsy graduate students left in the laboratory.

Mr. Xu and others were all older, so they naturally couldn't stay up late one after another, so he persuaded them to go back before 12 o'clock.

"Let's go back first. Everyone is tired today. If we continue, I'm afraid the experimental results won't be good." Li Mu said, looking at the few people who were trying hard to stay awake.

"Then we'll leave first. Team leader, you should also go to bed early." A few people who couldn't hold on any longer said goodbye and left quickly.

After everyone left, Li Mu continued to work. He finally managed to coax Guan Jianmin back and sneak out. He must experiment a few more times. He picked up a portion of lightly burned dolomite, added an appropriate amount of iron oxide and rare earth compounds, and then started the second step of calcination.

……

After being busy for nearly three hours, he finally completed an experiment. He was so exhausted mentally and physically that even Li Mu felt a little dizzy.

But looking at the new data, a smile appeared on his face.

The pen tip on the paper on the pad recorded: "The density of dolomite with an initial iron oxide content of 0.0596 increased significantly after calcination at 1600°C for 2 hours."

"The volume density is 3.15 g/cm, reaching 94% of the theoretical density."

This result made Li Mu feel a little relieved.

Although continuous experiments are still needed to find the best ratio to avoid the high temperature performance and chemical stability of dolomite being affected by excessive iron oxide content.

But it is undoubtedly something to be excited about to have a breakthrough.

Especially this time he did not rely on anyone's help, but relied on himself to complete the experiment and find the data!

Just when Li Mu was overjoyed, a familiar voice came from outside the door: "Is the experiment finished?"

There was only one person in the laboratory late at night, and he was startled when he suddenly heard someone making a noise.

Turning my head, I saw Wang Ya leaning against the door with a book in her arms. I don't know how long she had been standing there.

"Why are you here? When did you come?" Li Mu asked.

Wang Ya didn't go into the laboratory, but waved to her.

After he came out, he said, "The 421 teaching and research group has made some new breakthroughs in the calculation of the trajectory of the D-bullet, so they were busy late."

"When I came out, I saw that your lights were still on, so I came over to take a look."

"So you're still doing experiments. Don't you think about the fact that you were sick before? Can your body bear it?"

At the end of her speech, a hint of worry and blame appeared in Wang Ya's black and white eyes.

Hearing this, Li Mu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said:
"Don't worry, it's absolutely fine."

"If you can endure it, why can't I endure it?"

"How about I perform a desk whirlwind for you alone this time?"

Having said that, he prepared to go back to the laboratory and move out a table. Although he was indeed a little tired, a man absolutely cannot say no!
"Okay, okay, I believe you." Wang Ya quickly grabbed Li Mu, feeling a little amused and helpless at his sudden childishness.

"That's fine." Li Mu turned around and said, "By the way, you just said that there has been some progress in the experiment of calculating the trajectory of the D-bullet. Can you tell me more about it?"

Although he was the instructor of the 421 teaching and research group, he had never had time to go there and didn't really understand the situation.

Wang Ya thought for a moment and said, "With your help last time, we have built a mathematical model that covers all the motion parameters of the D-bullet."

"The next step is to use computer simulation to predict the missile's flight trajectory, but now every computer in the country has a task to do, and none of them are idle."

"Even if the dean applies, it will probably take a long time."

There are too many research projects in the country that require computers. The calculation of the ballistic trajectory of the D-projectile cannot be said to be unimportant, but compared with many important military weapons research projects, it can only be put slightly behind.

"You need to use a computer." Li Mu suddenly laughed. "Well, whenever you need to use it, tell me and I'll take you there."

"Is it okay? It won't violate the rules, right?" Wang Ya's eyes lit up.

"No, I just need to tell Director Wang." Li Mu said with a smile.

Wang Ya's eyes suddenly showed a trace of worry, and she said:
"Wait, you mean the integrated circuit computer, the one the newspaper said had a computing power of 120 million times per second?"

"Then we'd better not use it. Its confidentiality level should be very high. It would be bad if it causes you trouble."

"If you want to help, talk to Director Yan of the Institute of Computing Technology and ask them to let us use what they have!"

Although the Type 01 integrated circuit computer has been released to the public, up to now there has been no news of it being put to use anywhere.

Or maybe it is top secret and cannot be accessed by outsiders.

No matter which situation it is, it would be against the rules to use it rashly.

She did want to complete the computational research on calculating the ballistic trajectory of the D-bullet as soon as possible, but she also didn't want Li Mu to be punished for it.

Seeing Wang Ya's worried look, Li Mu felt a little warm in his heart and explained:

"Don't worry, it won't happen. The integrated circuit computers in the Semiconductor Research Institute are testing machines, and they are supposed to complete a large number of testing tasks."

"The institute is extremely happy to have your cooperation in the test and will not refuse."

At this point, seeing that her face was still full of worry, Li Mu changed his mind and said, "Well, let me go and talk to Director Wang first. If he agrees, I will take you there, okay?"

"That's fine. Even if Director Wang doesn't agree, it won't affect you." Wang Ya then smiled.

If she had the chance, she would certainly like to use an integrated circuit computer.

Even if the 421 teaching and research group applies, they will never be able to use the most advanced computers in the country.

Even a computer like the Model 103, which has a computing power of 1 times per second, is difficult to use.

Seeing her change from worry to joy, Li Mu smiled and said:

"Don't worry. The Type 01 integrated circuit computer is not something that deserves to be kept secret. It will soon be mass-produced and put into use in all walks of life."

"Aren't you a bit hasty to start mass production so soon? The computing power should not have reached its limit yet, right?" Wang Ya asked curiously.

Any technology, when it is born, has one deficiency or another and needs a certain amount of time to be perfected and improved.

The integrated circuit computer in the Semiconductor Research Institute is responsible for this task.

Li Mu sighed and said, "I think so too, but now many national research projects require computer assistance, and mass production is a last resort."

"I can only suggest that the old machines discarded by the research institute be returned to the school first, and when the second update comes, the ones discarded by the school can be sold abroad to make money."

"In this way, the losses are still acceptable in the long run."

Hearing this, Wang Ya couldn't help but smile, and couldn't help but say, "Your idea is good, but it's a bit mean."

"I'm not happy with what you said. It's just a matter of one willing to fight and the other willing to be beaten. And believe it or not, even if we have been eliminated twice, those Western countries will still scramble for it." Li Mu pretended to be angry.

"Okay, I believe you." Wang Ya covered her mouth and chuckled for a while, then said, "It's already late, do you still want to continue the experiment?"

"No, I'm going back to rest." Li Mu yawned, moved his feet, and turned back to ask: "Together?"

Under the bright moonlight, Wang Ya lowered her head, and the moonlight cast an outline on her soft face.

She whispered:

"it is good."
