The Red Era, the Opening University Speech

Chapter 152 Ship's new version of Gold Finger!

There were a large number of WIFI names, all from various research institutes, archives and university libraries in Tennessee. Li Mu was dazzled and stunned.

He was certainly familiar with the Oak Ridge National Laboratory, which was called the Kleinton Laboratory before the end of World War II and was also the birthplace of "Little Boy" and "Fat Man".

Both in the past and now, it is the largest scientific and energy research institute under the Ministry of Energy of the M Empire.

"Should I connect or not?" Looking at the WIFI list, a hint of hesitation flashed across Li Mu's face, but he soon became determined.

What if the chat page accumulates energy and can only be connected once? If you don’t connect this time, you don’t know when the next time will be.

Idea choose Oak Ridge National Laboratory, open!

The chat page shows text and a loading page:

"connecting……"

"connection succeeded."

Not long after, Li Mu was prompted that the connection was successful.

Then, the chat page jumped to a directory: neutron computing, energy, high-performance computing, complex biological systems, advanced materials and national security…

Just click on the title of Advanced Materials and National Security, and another directory will pop up immediately:
Research on metamaterials with both negative dielectric constant and negative magnetic permeability in the microwave band.

Research on artificial composite skin materials with controllable wave transmittance.

Research on the composite of graphene and lightweight high-strength materials to obtain high-performance lightweight armor systems.

……

Looking at the items on the catalog, Li Mu's eyes were dull.

How come he seemed to have hacked into the archives of Oak Ridge National Laboratory?

"Never mind, we have to get down quickly!" Li Mu felt like he was just like Granny Liu when she entered the Grand View Garden, overwhelmed by the sight.

With so much information, he no longer needs to rely on Ask and can be self-sufficient.

Moreover, this is the database of Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Both the level of data and the degree of detail are definitely far superior to the information pieced together on the Internet.

Taking a deep breath, Li Mu calmed down first, then found the classification by time in the classification options on the chat page, and then selected the material catalog between 60 and 70.

The first one to start is the development of high-performance PAN-based carbon fibers.

Carbon fiber has the characteristics of high specific strength, high specific modulus, high chemical resistance and heat resistance, and low thermal expansion. In the early days, it was mainly used in the aerospace field.

After the 10s, the application of carbon fiber composite materials gradually moved towards industrial fields, such as wind energy, automobiles, railway transportation and civil infrastructure construction.

The importance of this material cannot be overstated.

"Download this first!" Li Mu clicked in and started downloading quickly.

A small download icon appears in the information bar on the screen, and the download begins at a speed of 100KB/s.

Seeing this, he frowned slightly: "Isn't the signal full? Why is it so slow!"

The carbon fiber data is as much as 10G. At a speed of 100KB/s, it will take at least 24 hours to download it all.

This speed is really too slow!

"Forget it, it's better to have it than nothing." Li Mu quickly regained his optimism. At least it wasn't a 1G network. The speed of 10KB would make people angry to death.

Continue to view information.

As he was reading, he suddenly thought: "For neutron computing and high-performance computing, I wonder if there is any information on storage device technology?"

"If there was, there would be no need to ask Ask for help."

"And these things are not easy to make according to the information found on the Internet."

It is no longer easy for Li Mu to make disk storage after tape storage, such as HDD (hard disk drive), FDD (floppy disk drive) and SSD (solid state drive).

The accumulation of those early technologies could not be accomplished by him alone.

But you might be able to find detailed information at the Oak Ridge Archives.

"Sure enough, there is a record!" Not long after, Li Mu found the directory of storage technology and happily clicked to download it directly.

After that, he downloaded information on many special materials such as high-temperature alloys, fiber-reinforced composites, acid and alkali resistant materials, etc.

The total size of the file was more than 100G, and it was moving forward with difficulty at a download speed of 100KB/s.

Just as Li Mu was watching and enjoying himself.

The “ding~” message alert sound rang in my mind again.

Ask: "Li, I'm sorry, my phone seems to have a problem just now. Now the battery is out and I can't turn it on."

"Oh, if I had known, I wouldn't have changed to an Apple phone. Not only is it not as good as Xia Wei's for playing games, but it also suddenly had problems, so we can't play games together again."

After seeing the message, Li Mu remembered that he had forgotten about Ask.

He thought about it and said, "It's okay. If it doesn't work this time, there's always next time. There will always be a chance."

"Let's just have a quick chat."

"By the way, I forgot to ask, why did you suddenly go on a business trip?"

"With your socially anxious personality, didn't you refuse?"

"Of course I refused!" Ask replied indignantly. He was having a good time in the institute and was having a hot relationship with the girl he had finally met. Of course he didn't want to leave.

But unfortunately, he ran out to date a girl during lunch break and was caught by the big boss of the institute, so he ended up in this tough job.

Listening to Ask's explanation, Li Mu vaguely felt that something was wrong.

It's called a punishment, but why does the behavior of this research institute boss seem to be trying to get rid of Ask?
Li Mu had a vague guess in his heart, could it be that the research institute where Ask worked had also discovered something wrong with his woman?

He continued, "It's just a business trip, how can that be considered a chore?"

Upon hearing this, Ask replied: "You don't know how difficult these old professors at Oak Ridge National Laboratory are."

"I just wanted to borrow their equipment, but they dared to ask for a whopping price of 30 million dollars!"

"I have already told them today that if they can use it, they can use it. If they can't, forget it. At worst, our research institute can cooperate with Nihong."

Hearing the price, Li Mu couldn't help but smack his lips.

Thirty million M dollars is almost catching up with half of Xiaguo’s current foreign exchange reserves of M dollars.

"Wait!" Li Mu, whose attention was drawn to the sky-high price, suddenly reacted, "Oak Ridge National Laboratory, isn't this where my WIFI signal is connected now?"

Thinking of this, Li Mu hurriedly asked: "Asker, are you on a business trip to Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Tennessee?"

"Yeah, Li, you know this place?" Ask replied curiously.

Of the 50 states of the United States, except for the more well-known ones, such as Watsonville, California and Ferrero Rocher, few people in other countries can remember them clearly.

"Of course I know. I saw it when I was browsing my phone. Its predecessor was Klinton Laboratory, the one that created the little boy and the fat man." Li Mu replied casually.

This excuse did not arouse Ask's suspicion. After all, many countries were aware of the national feud between Xia Kingdom and Xiao Rizi.

He replied: "Alas, none of this matters. What matters is that I want to run away now."

Looking at this message, Li Mu's brain was working rapidly.

The Oak Ridge National Laboratory in his WIFI list, as well as other university libraries and laboratories, seem to be basically all in Tennessee.

Scrolling down the list, I found that the WIFI signal was getting weaker.

"Could it be that the appearance of the WIFI signal was not accidental, but that there was something wrong with Ask's phone, so he accidentally connected to the signal?" Li Mu thought secretly.

But it is also possible that it has nothing to do with the mobile phone. After all, Ask can communicate with him across time and space no matter what he uses.

If it was the former, he could just keep calling and calling Ask's phone to spread the WIFI signal all over the world. Then he could browse the top databases of various countries without worrying about Ask's suspicion.

But if it’s the latter…

Then we must not let Ask go now!
The strength of the WIFI signal is directly linked to the download speed. It would take more than two days to download all the more than 100G of data.

This is a rare opportunity and should not be missed.

Thinking of this, Li Mu hurriedly said:

"Asker, how could you give up so easily?"

"Your leader has given you this job, which shows that he fully trusts you!"

"Think about it, if you can complete the work beautifully this time, wouldn't it be much easier for you to go out of the lab and date the girl later?"

His words caused Ask to fall into a brief silence.

He felt that what Li Mu said made sense. Thinking of the director's dark face when he was caught sneaking out, his calves were trembling.

Ask said, "But Lee, how much merit does it take to achieve that?"

"I'm afraid the director doesn't have a very good impression of me now, so a simple discount may not work."

"And the most important thing is that I know nothing about negotiation skills. I'm afraid I can't handle the people in Oak Ridge."

"Don't worry about this, just leave it to me." Seeing his reply, Li Mu smiled confidently.

Afterwards, he taught Ask all the psychological techniques.

……

the next day.

When Grandma Li got up, she saw that Li Mu's door was still closed, and her eyes showed worry.

You should know that Li Mu has a very regular schedule. No matter how late he went to bed, he would get up at 6 o'clock the next day to start exercising.

This was the first time she saw her eldest grandson oversleep.

But what Grandma Li didn't know was that Li Mu and Ask chatted until late at night last night. While teaching, Li Mu was like a mouse that had entered a rice warehouse. He wanted to eat a little here and a little there, and he was enjoying reading the materials very much.

In particular, the detailed design and technical issues regarding the distributed lithography machine were basically resolved last night.

If nothing unexpected happens, the distributed lithography machine will be successfully launched soon!
……

Li Mu slept for half an hour before getting up.

He watched too many things last night and his brain was working at high speed, which made him extremely hungry. After boxing, he casually ate some breakfast, said something to Grandma Li, and rode his bike to school.

The little food at home certainly couldn't satisfy his hunger. Only the big-pot dining hall could satisfy his hungry stomach.

……

After eating a dozen large steamed buns and six bowls of white porridge in one gulp, Li Mu finally breathed a sigh of relief and burped comfortably.

I looked at the download progress bar and saw that only a little over 3G was downloaded.

Kind of outrageous.

"At this speed, there will be no problem downloading all the current information, but I need to think carefully about what to download later." Li Mu sighed secretly.

The amount of data stored in the Oak Ridge National Laboratory's archive is incalculable. With a speed of 100KB/s, it would be impossible to download all of it in this lifetime.

He must select those important and currently feasible technical materials to download.

Fortunately, with Aske's negotiation level, the problem should not be solved in one month, and he still has plenty of time.

……

Came to the Semiconductor Research Institute.

Li Mu walked into the laboratory of the distributed projection lithography machine development team and saw Huang Xinhua holding a piece of data and thinking intently in front of the laboratory table.

"Professor Huang." he called out.

Hearing this, Huang Xinhua turned around with a smile on his face: "Come here, come and take a look at these experimental reports first."

"Excimer laser technology is so cutting-edge that we still don't have any ideas."

"It's just a general direction. It will probably take a lot of time to make it happen. As a result, the successful development of the distributed projection lithography machine will probably take even longer."

At the end of his speech, he let out a long sigh, with a look of deep worry between his brows.

Without a breakthrough in lithography machines, it will be impossible to increase the level of integration.

The upcoming production of the Type 01 computer heightened his sense of urgency.

He understood and supported the country's plan, but at the same time he also wanted to do his best to develop a distributed projection lithography machine as soon as possible to reduce the losses in the meantime.

Li Mu thought about it, took out the plan he had written last night from his backpack, and said:

"Professor Huang, don't worry. I have been doing research recently and have done a lot of theoretical derivations. I have written a plan. Please take a look at it first to see if it can be done."

Huang Xinhua looked at the manuscript paper.

On the first page of the manuscript paper, the title was written clearly and forcefully in pen: Excimer laser design plan and analysis of technical difficulties.

The moment he saw the title, Huang Xinhua couldn't help but breathe heavier.

He couldn't help but pick up the manuscript directly, but found that there were two copies of the manuscript.

There is also a separate, thicker manuscript below, titled: Design plan and technical difficulty analysis of distributed projection lithography machine.

The name was plain and simple, but it made Huang Xinhua very happy. He asked, "Have you solved the problems of excimer laser and distributed projection lithography machine?"

"It cannot be said to be a complete solution. It is just a theoretical solution that needs to be verified by experiments." Li Mu said.

This is not modesty. There is no problem with the technical theory in many places, but it is hard to say whether it can be implemented in practice.

But Huang Xinhua obviously didn't believe what he said, and kept muttering:

"Great, great!"

"You go to the meeting room first, I'll go inform Director Wang right away!"

"You guys should go too, and ask Li Mu for advice!"

After talking to a few researchers, he hurriedly left with two plans.

……

Li Mu shook his head and smiled, not caring at all, and prepared to go to the meeting room.

At this moment, he suddenly saw two familiar faces in the laboratory out of the corner of his eye.

"Senior Brother Liu Ze, Senior Brother Wang Yang, why are you walking so fast? Let's go together." Li Mu said with a smile.

His words stunned several researchers in the laboratory. They looked at the two people huddled in the corner with some surprise.

These two intern researchers who just came to the institute are actually Li Mu’s senior brothers?

"Li Mu, please stop teasing us. We finally got the opportunity to enter the Semiconductor Research Institute, but we can't compare with you." Seeing that they were discovered despite their best efforts to avoid him, Liu Ze and Wang Yang simply walked up and said.

Although both of them were Huang Xinhua's graduate students, their level was only average, and it was actually quite difficult for them to enter the Semiconductor Research Institute.

However, after Huang Xinhua became the research leader of distributed projection lithography machines, his status rose rapidly.

In addition, the newly established excimer laser institute was short of manpower, so Wu Youxiang took the initiative to lend a helping hand and recruited the two to be intern researchers.
