The Red Era, the Opening University Speech

Chapter 190 The World’s First Supercomputer!!!
In the days when communications were less developed, information generally lagged behind.

Just like it took a long time for the information from the Type 01 computer to be delivered to Emperor M and Big Brother, it also took quite a while for the news from them to be transmitted.

Li Mu saw the same thing in the newspaper. In Xia Country, it was the latest news, but in M ​​Emperor, it was already a month ago.

So after he finished his meal, he said something to Wang Ya, then hurriedly left the Semiconductor Research Institute and went to the Foreign Trade Commission.

After telling Dong Huaxing about the matter, the latter immediately asked: "So you want to find a company abroad now and set up a front so that you can sell the Type 01 computer to them later?"

"Yes, the Type 01 computer is a high-tech product. Emperor M will definitely trace its source, so we need a transit station." Li Mu nodded.

Hearing this, Dong Huaxing paced around the office for a while, then said:
"Your opinion is very important. Our relationship with Emperor M is not harmonious right now. If they find out, they might restrict our exports."

"I will let special channels abroad handle this matter and see if I can find a suitable company."

"Just continue your research with peace of mind. I'll let you know when there's any news."

"Okay, then I'll go back first." Li Mu didn't stay long, and after saying that, he was about to get up and go back to the Semiconductor Research Institute.

It is not easy to find a suitable shell company, and there is no need to rush. It is better to develop the supercomputer as soon as possible.

After the supercomputer is completed, we will continue to develop a new generation of computers with an integration level of 3, which will be ready for upgrading.

As for the handheld game console, it has been delayed for so long, it’s almost time for it to be released.

"Wait a minute." Dong Huaxing suddenly stopped Li Mu who was standing up and asked with a smile, "How are things going between you and Wang Ya?"

"Leader, why don't I understand what you are saying?" Li Mu's heart skipped a beat.

Dong Huaxing laughed and said:
"Okay, stop pretending. Xiao Guan has already noticed that something is wrong with you."

"It's not something shameful to be in a relationship."

"Don't you want to take responsibility, so you don't dare let anyone know?"

At the end of his speech, a serious look appeared on his face.

"Of course not!" Li Mu hurriedly explained, but after he said it, he suddenly realized that this was a confession.

Sure enough, hearing what he said, Dong Huaxing's originally serious expression instantly turned into a smile, and he gently patted his shoulder and said, "If it's not the case, then let's talk it over. I'm looking forward to drinking your wedding wine."

"It's too early to say that. How can it be so fast?" Li Mu felt helpless.

……

Back to the Semiconductor Research Institute.

As soon as he entered the gate, Li Mu saw Guan Jianmin pushing his bicycle stealthily out.

After noticing him, she looked away, as if she was guilty.

Guan Jianmin didn't expect that after he finished telling Professor Wang, Huang Xinhua and others about the "secret" he had discovered, he would run into Li Mu head-on.

His smile was a little stiff as he said, "Are you not busy today? You used to be in the lab at this time."

"If we were in the lab, how would I know that you had spread such outrageous news about my relationship with Wang Ya behind my back, and that we were about to get married?" Li Mu said with his eyes wide open.

He just spent a little more time with Wang Ya, and Dong Huaxing started talking about the wedding banquet. It must be Guan Jianmin who was talking behind his back.

Guan Jianmin shrank his head and said, "It's only a matter of time. Don't you want to marry her?"

"I..." Li Mu opened his mouth and almost got fooled. He quickly stopped and said unhappily, "What does this have to do with you? Stop gossiping behind my back every day."

Looking at Guan Jianmin's guilty look just now, he could guess that many people must know about him and Wang Ya by now.

"What do you mean by gossip? Caring about your personal problems is a task assigned to me by my superiors." Guan Jianmin muttered softly.

Li Mu rolled his eyes at him speechlessly, not wanting to bother with him anymore, and went back to the laboratory to continue his research.

Seeing that he was not angry, Guan Jianmin rolled his eyes and seemed to be thinking about something.

This attitude of neither denying nor affirming is actually equivalent to acquiescence.

"No, I have to think of a way. It's not enough to just make progress in the relationship. If I don't work hard, these two people might end up dating for a year or two." Guan Jianmin thought secretly.

But he has already contacted the leaders above and the Semiconductor Research Institute, so who else can he turn to?

"Oh!" He suddenly slapped his head and remembered.

"And where has Grandma Li gone?"

……

Ten days later.

The winter in Kyoto is getting colder, with heavy snow falling from time to time.

It was snowing heavily in the afternoon.

Inside the Semiconductor Research Institute, researchers who were supposed to be working in the laboratory gathered in front of a huge computer room, their eyes focused on a group of people coming in from the end of the corridor.

To be more precise, the focus was on the young man who was chatting and laughing with many leaders.

Two and a half months ago, when they heard that the chief designer and chief consultant would be a young man who had just graduated from college and was still a graduate student, they had concerns, doubts and dissatisfaction.

But after such a long time, seeing him running around between various laboratories every day, busy as a whirlwind, everyone has completely recognized his position in their hearts.

Today, the supercomputer room has been completed, and the plan that was once considered a fantasy by many people is only one step away from being declared a success with the final experiment.

They were simply convinced by it.

……

Walking into the computer room, Li Mu looked at the huge server in the room and the many researchers who were busy preparing for the final test, and he couldn't help but feel emotional.

The development process of a supercomputer seems simple, as if it is just about solving problems continuously.

However, he knew deeply that behind this was the hard work of everyone in the entire project team day and night.

There is a saying that goes "the one above has a big mouth, and the one below runs his legs off", although it is a bit inappropriate, the principle is actually the same.

To realize his plan, he couldn't just think of it in his head. He needed to constantly experiment and try and error, and find the correct answer from failure, failure, and failure again.

Guo Mo, who was standing by, saw Li Mu staring at the server without saying anything and asked with a smile, "Why, are you worried about failure?"

"Of course I'm worried." Li Mu took a deep breath and smiled bitterly.

With so many people working so hard for so long, if something goes wrong, he doesn’t know how to deal with it.

Hearing his words, Leader Qiu, who was looking around the computer room, turned around and said:

"Why worry? If we fail, we can just try again. How long did it take you from project initiation to final testing? Two and a half months!"

"We originally estimated that it would take at least half a year."

"I didn't expect it to be done so quickly. I was shocked when I heard you invited me to participate in the final test."

"Don't be afraid if you fail, at worst you can just start over again."

This made Guo Mo and Gu Zheng nod their heads.

"Time waits for no one!" Li Mu shook his head slightly and looked towards the server, his eyes full of anxiety.

Without the development of supercomputers, there would be no way to accelerate the Big Mushroom. Many of his prepared research plans could not be carried out, which would have a huge impact.

At this moment, Yan Peilin on the side whispered: "Okay, have some confidence. The entire supercomputer project was designed by you. If you don't have confidence, how can others have confidence?"

Only after hearing his words did Li Mu come back to his senses.

He glanced at the expressions of the people around him and found that they were all looking at him worriedly.

As the chief designer, his performance will definitely affect the entire team.

Thinking of this, Li Mu left and pretended to sigh, "Oh, there's nothing I can do. I don't have any confidence at all if I'm 90% sure. I'll only have confidence if I'm 100% sure." These words startled Guo Mo, Yan Peilin and others, and then they burst into laughter.

……

Soon, Li Mu adjusted his state and prepared for the final test of the supercomputer.

Seeing that the preparations were complete, he immediately said, "Begin the test!"

……

"CPU is operating normally..."

……

"Input and output devices, optical disk storage are operating normally..."

……

"Cooling system is operating normally..."

……

Voices continued to sound, reporting on the status of various parts and sections of the supercomputer.

Everyone's heart was hanging in the air.

Li Mu's palms couldn't help but sweat, fearing that something might go wrong.

Even though he had tried his best, he was just copying from the information. If there was anything he didn't understand correctly, it could affect the entire team.

……

After an unknown amount of time, accompanied by the sound of "beep~", the indicator lights indicating normal operation lit up one by one.

Li Mu looked at the indicator light, his eyes showing excitement, and he couldn't help but said excitedly: "Success, success!"

There was silence in the computer room for a moment, and then a huge cheer broke out:

"It really worked!"

"Great! With Chaosuan here, our Xia country will definitely lead the world!"

"This is a national treasure. This is a national treasure. This treasure has finally been forged!"

……

The joy of success spread from the computer room to everyone standing in the corridor, and excited cheers resounded through the sky!
Their eyes were filled with tears as they cheered this historic moment.

Yan Peilin, Guo Mo and others excitedly surrounded Li Mu. If he wasn't too old, they would have thrown him up to celebrate.

The emergence of supercomputers has a lot of important meanings for Xia State.

Gu Zheng looked at Li Mu, his expression unable to conceal his excitement and said: "With supercomputers, the electronics industry will surely usher in a thorough innovation!"

"It will be a major earthquake not only for the electronics industry, but also for the development of our country's entire industry!" Leader Qiu said in a high-spirited tone.

After the Type 01 computer was rolled out, it provided tremendous help to the country's research in many industrial fields, greatly shortening the originally long experimental time.

The emergence of supercomputers will surely shorten this time even more.

What is the most lacking thing in Xiaguo? It is time.

As a great country with a five thousand year history of civilization, they believe that they are not inferior to any country or any nation. As long as they are given time, they will surely make Xia stand at the top of all nations again.

……

The news of the successful development of the supercomputer soon spread to a small courtyard.

Secretary Song walked into the yard in a hurry, but slowed down when he remembered that his superior was taking a rest.

The superior in the room had heard the footsteps a long time ago. After waiting for a long time and seeing no one coming in, he shouted, "Come in if you need anything. I'm not asleep."

Secretary Song then opened the door.

"What makes you so excited? Let me guess, you gave birth to a big fat boy?" Seeing his excited face, his superior joked.

Secretary Song smiled and said:
"Thank you for your kind words, but you still didn't guess right."

"It's the news from the supercomputer. Today, they conducted the final test."

"Supercomputer, developed successfully!"

Every word fell into the ears of the superior leader, stirring up a surging wave in his heart.

The pen in his hand fell unconsciously onto the table, and he stood up in disbelief, asking, "Successful, really successful?"

It's no wonder he was so surprised. The difficulty of jumping from one million times per second to one hundred million times per second is obvious even to people who don't understand scientific research.

What’s even more incredible is that it only took two and a half months.

Even if he believed in Li Mu's ability, he couldn't have imagined it would happen so quickly!

Secretary Song confirmed: "It is absolutely true, and the peak computing speed can even reach 110 million times per second!"

"Good, good, good!" The superior said good three times in a row and couldn't help laughing.

After he was happy, he immediately said, "Notify the Northwest of this news immediately and ask them to include supercomputers in the Big Mushroom's research plan."

"Also, notify the Semiconductor Research Institute. I want to go and thank them in person!"

Semiconductor Research Institute, canteen.

The snowflakes outside were still falling, but inside it was as lively as New Year's Day.

In order to reward the entire supercomputer project team, Yan Peilin asked the kitchen to kill more than a dozen pigs and make pot after pot of fragrant braised pork to ensure that everyone could have a taste.

However, compared to the braised pork, everyone's attention was more focused on one person.

An expert from Guangdong came over, holding a glass of water, and said to Li Mu: "When the supercomputer project was launched, I expressed my opposition and questioned you. Today I will use water instead of wine to apologize to you."

"You have proved with facts that my idea is wrong and you are right!"

As soon as he spoke, many experts and professors came up and raised their cups of water to apologize to Li Mu.

Seeing this, Li Mu quickly bowed in return and said loudly:
"It would be very unpleasant for me if you did that."

"Research requires the collision of different ideas to reach the correct results."

"What's more, during this period of time together, I have gained countless benefits and experiences from you all."

"Supercomputing is not the result of my own efforts, but the result of our joint efforts!"

As soon as he finished speaking, thunderous applause broke out in the cafeteria.

"Well said." Yan Peilin also stood up and said, "Research is not a one-person job, and the construction of the New Xia Kingdom is not a one-person job either."

“We can only do this if we work together and strive towards one goal!”

Upon hearing this, everyone's faces became more excited and the applause was thunderous and lasted for a long time.

……

The celebration banquet lasted until the evening.

After working hard for a long time, the researchers can finally relax and can't wait to go back to the dormitory and fall asleep.

Li Mu was also very tired, but he was in a hurry to do something more important, so he immediately went to find Guo Mo, Leader Qiu and Gu Zheng.
