The Red Era, the Opening University Speech

Chapter 189 Who is leading the research?

Upon seeing this, Zhang Kai and Li Jian immediately glared and shouted, "Okay, eat secretly", and immediately joined the group in eating.

When eating with Li Mu, you can't be slow, otherwise the mutton will be left on the plate in the blink of an eye.

……

Only after he was half full did Li Mu slow down his pace.

He looked at Zhang Kai and Li Jian, who were eating with their mouths full of oil. Thinking of the fact that the two did not enter the supercomputing R&D training class after the last training class selection, he asked:
"Are you interested in studying video games?"

"Electronic games, the ones you mentioned last time?" Zhang Kai paused with his chopsticks. "The dean mentioned it to me and Li Jian after you left, but we still want to do mechanical automation more."

His eyes were full of determination.

Li Mu hesitated for a moment, but still advised:

"In fact, making games does not conflict with mechanical automation. Both are applications of computer languages."

"You can definitely gain experience in the game now, and then continue to do it."

"If you enter the game R&D center, you can not only learn directly from some big names in the Institute of Computing Technology, but also get access to the most cutting-edge application projects in computer languages. This opportunity is not available to everyone."

It would not work to simply say that mechanical automation has no future at present. If one wants to persuade the two, one has to find another way.

Sure enough, hearing him say this, Zhang Kai and Li Jian were immediately very excited.

At this time, Shao Yanan asked in confusion: "Wait, what are you talking about? I don't understand anything."

Li Mu and Wang Ya are fine, but now it seems that Zhang Kai and Li Jian are also becoming a little mysterious.

……

Zhang Kai looked at Li Mu and saw that he didn't look surprised, so he knew he could reveal some information, so he briefly explained the matter of the game R&D center to Shao Yanan.

After listening to this, Shao Yannan couldn't help but exclaimed:
"So that's how it is. This is a good thing. It's a brand new field, and it can earn foreign exchange for the country. It's no worse than studying mechanical engineering!"

"If I knew nothing about computers, I would also like to learn it."

"Since you have the opportunity and the country is in urgent need of talents in this field, I think you can give it a try."

Her words were different from Li Mu's analysis of the pros and cons, but had a greater impact on Zhang Kai and Li Jian.

The country needs it. These four words alone are enough to make them abandon all their concerns.

"Since you all said so, it won't be appropriate if we don't go. We will talk to the dean tomorrow!" Zhang Kai swallowed the mutton hotpot in his mouth fiercely, his eyes shining.

Li Jian's eyes were also full of anticipation.

……

After the meal, everyone said goodbye.

Li Mu and Wang Ya were walking on the way to school.

Suddenly, a crystal snowflake fell from the sky.

Then one piece, two pieces... millions of pieces.

Soon, a heavy snow fell all over Kyoto.

The two quickly found shelter under a shed.

After parking the bike, Li Mu couldn't help but sigh as he watched the snowflakes falling. "What a heavy snow!"

After he sighed, he found that Wang Ya beside him did not respond.

When I turned my head, I realized that her eyes were filled with tears.

"You, why are you crying? Don't cry, don't cry. Did I say something wrong?" Li Mu looked at the crystal tears in her eyes and was at a loss for a moment.

He used to know a million ways to make girls happy, but at this moment, none of them seemed to apply.

Wang Ya turned her head slightly, wiped away the tears in her eyes, and said:
"It's okay, it's not your fault."

"It's just that when I saw the snow, I suddenly thought of my dad."

"It was also a snowy day like this when he left."

"Don't cry, don't cry, live happily. He will be happy when he sees you up there." Li Mu raised his hand, hesitated for a while, then gently wiped away the tears from the corners of Wang Ya's eyes.

Feeling the warmth of his palm, Wang Ya's body trembled slightly.

This rather intimate action made Li Mu feel his face was getting hot.

It’s strange, he wasn’t so innocent before!
Wang Ya said:
"Okay, I won't cry!"

"I have fulfilled the wish I promised my father, and now I am helping the country research more powerful weapons."

"Dad is in heaven and will be happy for me."

Even as she said this, the tears in her eyes flowed more violently for some reason.

Because she knew that no matter how much she did, she would never see her father again.

Li Mu hesitated for a long time before he raised his hand, placed it on Wang Ya's head and rubbed it gently.

He was comforted by the voice:
"Yes, he will definitely be proud of your achievement."

"But the premise is that you have to be happy."

"If, I mean if, you don't want to continue the research, you can actually give up. I'll talk to Professor Yan and Professor Huang and Professor Zhuang."

Wang Ya did not answer immediately, but looked at Li Mu with tears in her eyes.

After a long while, she suddenly asked, "Do you want me to give up?"

"I don't hope so." Li Mu gave the answer without any hesitation.

Wang Ya asked again: "Why?"

This question caught Li Mu off guard. After a long while, when Wang Ya was getting anxious, he finally said, "It's good to meet each other occasionally."

After a short rest, Li Mu continued to devote himself to supercomputing research.

After overcoming a series of technical difficulties, the development of supercomputers has entered the final sprint stage.

At this point, he felt relieved.

The technical problems have been solved, and all that remains is to experiment, experiment, and continue experimenting.

This process is extremely difficult, but everyone works tirelessly and strives to achieve the goal.

……

Walking out of the software research group and looking at the heavy snow outside, Li Mu let out a long breath.

Yan Peilin followed him out and noticed the fatigue between his brows. He said, "Do you want to take a rest? It's been more than half a month since your last vacation, right?"

"It's okay, it's okay." Li Mu waved his hand and said, "The closer we get to the final moment, the more we can't relax. I have to stand guard for the last time."

"And you haven't rested for a long time, Mr. Yan. You don't even complain about being tired. How can a young man like me be tired?"

"My research intensity is not as exaggerated as yours..." Yan Peilin shook his head. Seeing that Li Mu insisted, he did not persuade him anymore. He just reminded him: "If you feel something is wrong with your body, you must tell me. Don't force yourself."

"Don't worry, I will." Li Mu nodded.

Just then, a familiar figure came from a distance.

Seeing her, Li Mu smiled and greeted her: "What a coincidence!"

"It's time for dinner. Do you want to eat together?" Wang Ya nodded. She had already walked past him, but suddenly paused and asked.

Li Mu nodded: "Okay, let's go!"

After saying that, he looked at Yan Peilin again and said, "Mr. Yan, do you want to go with us?" "No, I'll watch for a while." The latter waved his hand with a smile. He was also aware that the higher-ups were concerned about Li Mu's personal problems, so he naturally had to create more opportunities for the two of them.

Unfortunately, even though they created so many opportunities, these two people still didn't make any moves, which made them very anxious!

While feeling emotional, Yan Peilin shook his head and turned around to go back to the laboratory.

As a result, when he turned his head, he was startled to see Guan Jianmin stroking his chin and looking at Li Mu and Wang Ya who were leaving in the distance.

"What are you doing here, kid? Are you a thief?" Yan Peilin said speechlessly.

Guan Jianmin retracted his gaze upon hearing this, and quickly shook his head and said, "Mr. Yan, you misunderstood, I was just observing the two of them!"

"Observe them? What's there to observe? It's just like that. Unless we directly act as matchmakers, I don't think they will make any progress." Yan Peilin looked at Li Mu and Wang Ya, who had to keep a distance between them when they walked, and shook his head slightly.

But even though the authorities are in a hurry, it is not a good idea to adopt this approach.

This is not the old society, and if neither of them has this intention, their actions will be counterproductive.

Guan Jianmin saw that he hadn't noticed anything, so he chuckled and said, "Mr. Yan, you've made a mistake. I think they've made a lot of progress."

"Haven't you noticed that they've been running into each other quite often lately, and they've been eating together quite often."

"This doesn't mean anything, does it?" Yan Peilin frowned slightly, and after thinking about it carefully, it seemed to be true.

Ever since we gave Li Mu and Wang Ya a holiday last time, these two have been running into each other by chance, and occasionally they’ve even made plans to have lunch or dinner together.

Guan Jianmin said: "If it's just like this, there's nothing wrong with it, but don't you think that whenever Li Mu is about to eat, he will be wherever Wang Ya is."

"Could it be that they really..." Yan Peilin was stunned for a moment, then suddenly reacted and showed a look of disbelief.

Seeing this, Guan Jianmin chuckled, then quickly left the Semiconductor Research Institute to report the situation to his superiors.

……

A small yard somewhere.

The superior who heard the news was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help laughing and said:

"This Li Mu really likes to do big things quietly."

"I was worried about him, but he solved it himself."

"Wang Ya is a good girl, and they are both engaged in scientific research. It would be a great thing if they could be together!"

There was a mixture of amusement and emotion in his tone.

Finding a partner for Li Mu is as difficult as giving him a research reward.

As one of the core scientists of Xia State, Li Mu is now very well-known among a group of senior leaders.

I heard that he was so young and promising, I wonder how many senior officials with daughters of marriageable age wanted to marry their daughters to him.

……

Soon, Guo Mo, Leader Qiu, Dong Huaxing, Gu Zheng, and even Qian Shuyan, a group of people who had been optimistic about Li Mu and Wang Ya, all received news that their relationship had made great progress.

If the two of them were not still conducting research, they would definitely go over as a group as soon as possible to join in the fun.

……

Here, Li Mu didn't even realize that while he was eating, Guan Jianmin had already been "spreading rumors" about him behind his back.

He was reading the newspaper while quickly finishing the food on the table.

Wang Ya noticed that he was frowning and asked curiously, "What's wrong? You look so serious."

"Take a look at the latest foreign newspapers. IBM, the M Empire, has completed the assembly of integrated circuit computers." Li Mu handed over the newspaper.

Wang Ya was also shocked after hearing this. She quickly took the newspaper, picked it up and read it, and then she burst into laughter:

"What? They just assembled 587 primitive integrated circuits. It weighs less than 300 grams, has a volume of less than 100 cubic centimeters, and has a power of only 16 watts."

“And even medium-scale integration has not been achieved.”

"Even if they assemble integrated circuit computers, they won't be able to catch up with us in a short period of time."

"That's right." Li Mu nodded, and then said, "But if we let their integrated circuit computers take off and form an industrial chain, we will have a lot of trouble occupying the market in the future."

The M Emperor is not a fool. He will not allow his semiconductor and computer markets to be occupied by other countries. It is even more impossible for him to do so if it is Xia Country.

At least before the relationship between the two sides is normalized, once discovered, there will be a lot of trouble.

"Then what do you want to do?" Wang Ya supported her smooth cheek with her right hand, turned her head to look at Li Mu, her eyes full of admiration.

Li Mu hesitated for a moment, then said:

"The best way, of course, is to give them a hard blow when their semiconductors and integrated circuit computers are just starting out, so that they can't hold their heads up for ten or eight years."

"But there are problems with this. Currently, only our Xia country can produce Type 01 computers, so it is easy to track them down."

"The only way is to set up a shell company abroad and then use this company to carry out production and technology exports."

"But it's not easy to find such a country. Due to different ideologies, it's hard for those Japanese countries to agree with us."

M Emperor, the intelligence department is Fobole.

The director was eating delicious egg rolls when he saw the intelligence officer, whom he hadn't seen for a long time and who had been scolded by him last time, knocking on the door again.

The intelligence officer said seriously, "Director, we have received important intelligence. I think we must pay attention to it."

"What intelligence? Is it the integrated circuit developed by Xia Country that you mentioned last time?" The director took a bite of the egg roll and thought about sending the other party directly to Heizhou to do field work. Out of sight, out of mind.

Their great M Empire's only enemy is the Red Alliance on the other side of the coast. The Xia Kingdom is not worth mentioning at all.

As for why five-star General MacArthur suffered a crushing defeat, it was simply because the incompetent Koreans held them back.

"No, this time is different." Seeing that the director disagreed, the intelligence officer quickly said, "This time we got the intelligence from the Red Alliance."

"The intelligence shows that Xiaguo not only made large-scale integrated circuits, but also made computers with a computing speed of 100 million times per second!"

The director couldn't help but stop chewing the egg roll, and a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.

The relationship between the Red Alliance and the Xia Kingdom has deteriorated. Logically speaking, they should not join forces to fabricate false information to deceive them.

But a million times per second?
Their great M Empire has not yet been realized, so how could the Xia Kingdom, which has only been established for more than ten years, possibly achieve it?

But if it were true...

The director was on pins and needles for a moment.

……

On the other side, KGB also received information from within the Xia Kingdom.

Ever since the last news came from the embassy in Xia Country, they began to pay close attention to the development of Xia Country's semiconductors.

Although the research and development and production of the Type 01 computer were kept highly confidential, it was not difficult for them to obtain a set of performance data.

Director Kgeber looked at the data, which was being read 100 million times per second, with an expression more serious than ever before.

As we all know, the development of big mushrooms is to a certain extent dependent on computer computing power.

If this data is true, then Xia Country will most likely complete the development of the giant mushroom in a relatively short period of time.

It’s even very likely that it’s already been completed!
Given the current rigid relationship between the two sides, this is undoubtedly a very bad thing.

After a long silence, he immediately ordered: "Investigate, make sure to find out who is leading the research!"
