The Red Era, the Opening University Speech

Chapter 176 Ask, Don't Be Impulsive

"If you say so, then I won't be polite!" Li Mu raised his eyebrows. You can become stronger, but why can't I?

After saying that, he was really not polite at all. He took the ball from Zhang Kai and cut into the midfield.

"Haha, you've fallen into my trap!" Sun Fendou showed joy on his face when he saw this. He deliberately angered Li Mu just to trick Li Mu into dribbling the ball.

After practicing for so long, he was confident that he was not much inferior to Li Mu in terms of skills.

But I still don't know how to shoot three-pointers from long distance.

The only chance he has of winning is if it comes to a competition of skills.

"Guard me first." Li Mu chuckled and rushed forward with the ball.

Sun Fendou blocked his position closely and was about to use the skills he had practiced hard when his body seemed to be hit by a black bear and he retreated backwards with thumps and thumps.

After he was passed, Guan Jianmin and another boy who was there to make up the numbers could no longer pose any threat to Li Mu.

Jump and dunk!
The basketball went into the net. Li Mu held the basket tightly, his body suspended in the air. He turned around and gave Sun Fendou a big smile:

"How about it?"

"Come again!" Sun Fendou gritted his teeth, obviously not wanting to give in so easily.

He must have been unprepared just now, otherwise he wouldn't have been knocked away so easily.

This idea was shattered as Li Mu dribbled past the defense time and time again.

Every time he collided, Sun Fendou felt like he had hit a stone wall. Apart from the pain he felt, the rock did not move at all.

"No more, no more." In the end, Guan Jianmin was the first to give up.

He sat down on the ground, panting heavily with exhaustion, and said, "Your play is too hopeless. You can't make the shot, and you can't grab the ball."

"I walked around for half an hour just to watch you dunk the ball!"

"It seems that your health is not as good as mine." Li Mu pointed at him with a smile.

In fact, he knew that Guan Jianmin was trying to rescue Sun Fendou, who had been bumped by him for a long time and was so anxious that his face turned red and his neck became thick.

After that, he walked towards Sun Fendou and said, "It's not enough to just master the skills, the strength must also keep up."

"Do you think everyone can be like you, cooking for seven or eight people every day?" Sun Fendou said speechlessly while panting.

Before, when he heard others say that Li Mu was a good eater, he was a little skeptical.

Now he believed it. If he didn't eat so much, he wouldn't have so much strength.

Li Mu said:
"Blame me. I only started fighting because you said you could beat me."

"The result, is this it?"

"You still need to practice, Brother Sun."

After he finished speaking, he gently patted Sun Fendou's shoulder. The latter's face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot upon hearing his words, and he felt extremely aggrieved.

After playing ball, everyone went to the cafeteria of Beijing Institute of Technology to eat, and then separated.

Zhang Kai and Li Jian were planning to send Li Mu to the school gate, but were stopped by Guan Jianmin.

Even Sun Fendou, who was about to ask Li Mu for advice, was pulled back by him.

The three were wondering, Guan Jianmin nodded towards the two people walking side by side in the corridor ahead.

"They!" Zhang Kai and Li Jian were stunned at first, then they realized something and looked shocked.

Sun Fendou finally realized at this time:

"I was wondering why they suddenly wanted to kill me, it turns out it was because of this!"

……

Wang Ya sent Li Mu to the school gate and then turned back to the laboratory.

The communication between the two always remained on the experiment, and was not as close as Guan Jianmin and others thought now.

Li Mu waved to Wang Ya who walked to the side and suddenly turned back, then got on his bicycle and pedaled out.

Guan Jianmin, who was late, wanted to tease him, but when he saw this, he got anxious and said, "Wait, I haven't gotten on the bus yet, I haven't gotten on the bus yet."

……

Back to HKUST.

When he left last time, Master Qian Wu said that he would be free to come to school tomorrow.

He needs to sort out the questions that have accumulated during this period, and then ask one by one to seek answers.

Sitting at the table, Li Mu took out a pen.

At this moment, a message alert sounded in his mind.

Ask: "Li, our institute's mission has been accomplished."

"I plan to walk around and take some photos of the scenery and culture here for you, and then I'll be back soon."

"I've been thinking a lot these past few days, and you're right, I really need to work on it!"

Looking at the news, Li Mu felt a little bit reluctant. If Ask really turned into a research maniac, it would be his fault.

He said quickly: "It is very important to combine work and rest. Scientific research, after all, is all about inspiration. If you are too tired, your inspiration will dry up."

But he is different. His "scientific research" is more about digesting and absorbing the wisdom of future generations.

Of course, self-improvement is also important.

Ask: "No, I told her yesterday what I was going to work on, and she agreed with my decision."

"She also said that there is an old saying in your Xia country."

"If you don't know how to learn early when you are young, you will regret it later when you are old. I can't wait until later to regret it."

It can be seen that his confidence is quite firm.

"But this is not an ancient saying of our Xia country at all!" Li Mu couldn't help but complain in his heart that this was obviously a machine-translated text.

Is Foboler so careless? Or is he wrong and the other party has not been caught at all.

After thinking for a while, he said: "It's good that you can make up your mind, but I don't think you are ready yet."

“Growing through learning is about becoming a better version of yourself, not abandoning your original self.”

"I'm done. I've written out my life plan for the next ten years. I'm going to move up step by step. I want to be the big boss of the super laboratory!" Ask replied at the speed of light, his surging emotions unable to be concealed between the lines.

Li Mu said:
"I don't think you have."

"Don't rush to refute, let me finish."

"You are just impulsive now, and the decision you made may not be what you really think in your heart."

"You might as well wait a few more days. If you really think it through, I won't say anything more."

In order to keep Ask, he really racked his brains.

However, even though he was flustered because of Ask's sudden obedience, he still had no complaints and hoped that Ask would make the choice he liked.

"Okay, Li, I'll listen to you and think about it." Ask replied.

After that, he stopped sending messages, probably because he was thinking.

Li Mu looked at the download progress. After more than seven days, more than 60G had been downloaded, and it would only take about two days to complete the download.

"It's not a big problem. Considering Ask's temper, it will take at least seven or eight days to get results." He thought to himself.

……

The next day, early.

After washing up, exercising and having breakfast, Li Mu prepared to go find Master Qian Wu.

After thinking about it, he went to the supply and marketing cooperative first and bought some snacks.

Then, I rode my bicycle to the special building and entered the building after being checked by the guards.

Standing in front of the door, Li Mu stretched out his hand and knocked on the door twice with his fingers.

There was a sound of brisk footsteps from inside, and soon a little guy opened the door and stuck his head out.

Looking at the smiling Li Mu, Qian Yonggang, who looked like a tiger, said, "It's you."

"Brother Li Mu!" He had just finished speaking when Qian Zheng's head popped out from behind the door again.

"Long time no see. Come, brother will treat you to some candy." Li Mu smiled and handed over the candy in his hand.

"What are you doing blocking the door? Let the guests in!" Jiang Ying heard the noise and hurried over. She looked at Li Mu, then at the candy in his hand, and said:

"Just take what I give you, but remember what to say?"

"Thank you, brother~" Qian Yonggang and Qian Zheng said in unison.

After the two of them finished talking, they took the candy from Li Mu's hand and ran into the house.

Jiang Ying also invited Li Mu into the house.

Master Qian Wu was just washing up. When he saw Li Mu coming, he pulled him to his side with a smile and asked him about his recent studies and research.

From time to time, he would make a few test remarks.

Seeing that Li Mu's answer was very careful, Master Qian Wu said: "It is not enough to just learn the knowledge in the books, you also have to learn how to apply it."

"By the way, how are you doing with the homework I asked you to do last time?"

"If you encounter any problems, you can talk about them together, learn together and make progress together."

"There are some problems." Li Mu said truthfully: "In the measurement device of the automated guidance system, the existing radar equipment is a complete waste of computer computing power."

"My plan is to develop a new radar device that will maximize the advantages of computers so that the D-bomb can be launched as soon as the target appears."

"Of course, this research is definitely very difficult. I am considering applying to Dean Guo to conduct research together with the Institute of Modern Physics and the Institute of Mechanics."

As he listened, Master Qian Wu felt that something was wrong.

Seeing that Li Mu was about to continue speaking, he quickly interrupted and said, "Wait a minute, you said you are already developing an automated guidance system?"

"Yes, I thought it was feasible, so I reported it to my superiors, and Gu Zheng, leader of the Fourth Ministry of Machine Building, approved it for me." Li Mu said.

After he finished speaking, he noticed that Master Qian Wu's expression looked a little strange.

It felt like there was a groove stuck in my throat.

——He was just asking Li Mu to do a project assignment, why did he suddenly start researching it?

And Gu Zheng from the Fourth Ministry of Machine Building personally approved the project approval for him?
"Teacher?" Seeing that Master Qian Wu had not made any movement for a long time, Li Mu spoke carefully.

Is it because his performance was so poor that she was dissatisfied with him?
Master Qian Wu took a deep breath, and then recovered from the shock. He shook his head and laughed:

"I thought I had overestimated your talent, but it seems I still underestimated it."

"I just wanted you to do a project assignment and work on some theory, but I didn't expect you to make such a big fuss."

"But this is a good move and deserves encouragement."

"It's a pity that I still have a mission to complete. Otherwise, it would be a great story if the teacher and I could develop an automated guidance system together."

"Teacher, you are too kind. It's just an automated guidance system. Compared with the research you have done, it is not worth mentioning at all." Li Mu smiled.

Not only the automated guidance system, even the surface-to-air D bomb, he did not think the research of the Qianwu Division was important.

The construction of the country's most important equipment is far beyond what he can do now.

……

Two days passed in a flash.

After leaving Master Qian Wu, Li Mu continued his study and research life.

On the third day, the moment he woke up from his sleep, he jumped up instantly, washed up and exercised. After finishing, he sat down at the table.

According to his calculations, the download task will be completed at 7: this morning.

The hands of the watch point to the predetermined position little by little until they completely overlap.

Li Mu almost wanted to yell. "The auspicious time has come, welcome back the Super Calculator King!"

Restraining his excitement, he opened the chat page.

"?" Looking at the 99% progress bar, he felt something was wrong.

Logically speaking, it should be ready by now.

"Is it stuck?" He patted the air in front of him, but this method obviously didn't work on a non-physical chat page.

He could still understand if there was an error of three or four seconds.

But half a minute has passed and the progress bar is still stuck at 99%.

Li Mu observed carefully and finally found something wrong.

"Fuck, when did 100KB/s become 100 BIT/s!" Looking at the unit after 100, his eyes were bloodshot.

100BIT, he will have to wait till the end of time.

1KB equals 1024BIT. If this speed is maintained, it will drop by a full 102400 times. Even if only this 1% is 1G, it is still 10 billion BIT. I am afraid that it will never be downloaded in this lifetime.

Li Mu immediately realized that something went wrong with Ask.

This situation would only occur if Ask was far away from the supercomputing center.

Taking a deep breath, he calmed himself down and then opened the chat page.

Send a message: "Asker, how are you these past two days?"

There was no immediate response to the message, which made Li Mu anxious.

If Ask went back to the research institute quietly, not only would all his waiting be in vain, but his hopes of developing automated guidance systems, surface-to-air D-bomb research, and even accelerating the Big Mushroom's early release would also be shattered.

Ask: "Mountainsjpg."

"Sky.jpg."

"Bird.jpg."

……

The large number of pictures that flooded the screen made Li Mu stunned. It took him a long time to realize that he had dug his own grave.

I was so focused on thinking that Ask would stay at the University of Illinois that I forgot to ask him to take photos for me.

"It's so beautiful!" After the pictures stopped scrolling, he looked at them one by one and couldn't help but exclaim.

The scenery has a texture as sharp as a knife edge, and it can be seen directly from Nikon.

"It's really beautiful. I really hope that you, Li, can see such a scene with me one day!" Ask replied.

Seeing the message, Li Mu laughed slightly. With his current status, he would never be able to go abroad in this lifetime.

But he still said: "That day will come."

Although the probability of this happening is very small, it is not impossible.

If with his help, Xia State develops rapidly and builds the aerospace carrier in advance, it is not impossible for one country to conquer the world.

Ask:
"Then you must come over if you have the chance."

“I walked around the Walshak Mountains these past two days. The natural scenery is really beautiful.”

"I really want to just walk back to the research institute like this!"

His last words gave Li Mu a shock.

Walking back to the research institute, what will happen?
He quickly said, "Don't be impulsive. If you want to leave, I can go with you later. Of course, the premise is that you have to exercise your body first."
