The Red Era, the Opening University Speech

Chapter 203 Key People: Is it my turn to just take the things?
He was so busy with semiconductors and aerospace that he couldn't get involved in research in other fields for the time being.

This requires someone to be able to replace him and make some small things, such as engines for various commercial vehicles and even motorcycles.

If he were to do it, he wouldn't have enough energy now.

When guiding others, it may be slow, but it can help them save a lot of time!

As long as it is good for the country, it is worth it even if you don’t get the lion’s share of the credit.

……

While thinking, Li Mu took out his notes and organized his current research plan.

The problems with the Type 02 computer were basically solved after he gave a solution, and there was no need to worry much except for discovering some major problems.

Huang Kun is now in charge of the chip upgrades for programmable digital switches and electronic watches, and the progress is good, so there is no need for him to intervene for the time being.

The only thing to worry about is the mass production process of distributed projection lithography machines.

This problem must be solved before the above studies are completed, otherwise it will greatly affect the advancement of semiconductor industry development plans.

After writing these, Li Mu began to write some small things that could be used in people's livelihood in his notebook.

First, of course, I just thought of the motorcycle engine.

At that time, there was only one domestically produced motorcycle, called "Xingfu 250", which was an imitation of the famous "JAWA250" motorcycle of Jieke and Slovakia.

The engine is a single-cylinder, air-cooled, two-stroke, crankcase-ventilated, recirculation-scavenged engine.

It can be said to be quite backward.

In M Emperor, the mainstream engines are basically two-cylinder, and the V8 engines dedicated to mid-to-high-end vehicles even have 8-cylinder drive.

The gap in level is quite huge.

"We don't need as many as 8 cylinders. Let's make a double cylinder first." Li Mu bit the tip of the pen and thought secretly.

With the current domestic level, it is not very useful to produce something too high-end. The important thing is to popularize it first and then improve it.

Next, after determining the goal, he began to draw and design.

When he was playing with cars in the past, he had a relatively good understanding of the overall structure of motorcycles, as well as the performance and data of various engines.

However, it is a bit unrealistic to want to make an engine with just these.

Just as he was trying hard to think, a message alert sound suddenly rang in his mind.

Ask: "Lee, I did it! Picture Jpg."

In the chat page, Ask sent a table of contents page of a scientific journal of the M Empire. Ask's name was clearly written as the first author of a paper on the subject of life genetics.

"Congratulations!" Li Mu congratulated.

He couldn't help but sigh that Ask was worthy of being a talent who could enter the top research institute of Emperor M at such a young age. If he worked a little harder, he could publish his research results in top journals.

He then asked, "So, you are leaving the institute soon?"

"No, not so soon. She wants me to prepare well. Boss also thinks highly of me and plans to send me to Cambridge for study and exchange for a period of time." Ask replied happily.

It seemed that he still failed to notice anything unusual about his girlfriend-to-be.

Li Mu smiled and said:

"That's great. There's an old saying in Xia country: If you don't make a sound, you'll be nothing. But if you do, you'll be amazing."

"Although you have achieved some success now, you still need to accumulate more before you can soar to the sky."

"Come on, I believe you can do it!"

It was undoubtedly a good thing for Ask to leave the institute.

As long as Ask does not stay in the laboratory all year round, he will have more opportunities to guide the other party to the place where he needs to collect information.

"Thank you, Li. Without your guidance, I wouldn't be where I am today." Ask expressed his sincere gratitude.

Li Mu: "We are all friends, why thank me, but where are you going to study, Da Ying?"

He wasn't really sure if Daying had any well-known laboratories, so he would probably just have to try his luck.

Ask replied: "Yes, the boss of a Life Genetic Engineering Research Institute there has a cooperation with our boss and agreed to let me go there to study for 15 days."

"This is my first time to O Continent. I am a little excited just thinking about it."

"By the way, Li, I have an idea. How about we meet in person when I go to Xia Country?"

Of course, Li Mu had no way of agreeing to Ask's request for a "face-to-face meeting", and could only make an excuse that he was traveling in Bingyu.

He thought for a moment and said, "Oh, by the way, Ask, if you have time, can you help me go to motorcycle factories like Harley, Victory, and Ducati? I plan to buy a motorcycle that best shows my personality."

"Of course." Ask agreed directly, but then asked with some doubt: "But this should be available in Xia Country, right?"

Li Mu explained:
"Of course Xiaguo can buy it, but it will be very troublesome to modify it."

"My plan is to buy one, have it modified at your place, and then ship it over here."

"So that's how it is. Okay, I have to go study the day after tomorrow. How about this, I'll go and help you tomorrow, and we'll contact each other then." Ask said immediately.

After saying this, Li Mu thought that he would continue to "roll around and act like a spoiled child" and beg for a beating, but unexpectedly, there was no further action.

It seems that he has become much more studious.

"No wonder we can get results in just a few months. We must have worked hard!" Li Mu sighed, then he collected his thoughts and continued his research.

People with talent work so hard, so someone like him who has no talent should work even harder.

……

The next day.

After Li Mu got up and washed up, he went to the bank first.

The last time Dong Huaxing was leaving, he winked and asked Youkong to come and have a look at the special allowance. He estimated that the dividends this time must be quite a lot.

When we checked, the amount turned out to be as high as 11 yuan.

There was so much money that even the bank teller who checked for him was shocked. He confirmed it several times before telling him the result.

You must know that this is the new Xia Kingdom, not the old society.

It is almost impossible for an individual to have so much money.

"Let's transfer 3 to Beijing Institute of Technology first, and write in the note that it is for the construction of the R&D center building." Li Mu thought for a moment and said to the bank teller.

The current game development center uses the unused rooms in the administrative building.

Although Qian Shuyan had tried his best to coordinate, the space was still a bit small after putting down the Type 01 computer.

Not to mention that Li Mu plans to invest a few more Type 01 computers in the future, which will make the space even more insufficient.

Therefore, it is imperative to build a dedicated game R&D center building.

"Okay, okay, please wait a moment." The bank teller responded stutteringly.

Probably he was a new employee. When he saw Li Mu transferred 3 yuan without blinking, his hands began to tremble. He was busy for a long time before completing the procedures.

……

Afterwards, Li Mu took out another 4000 yuan and kept it on him for future use. After leaving the bank, he thought about it and went to the Semiconductor Research Institute to find Guan Jianmin.

Guan Jianmin was confused: "What do you want from me?"

Although he is an assistant, his life has been quite free compared to before since the restriction on Li Mu's research was lifted.

"Help me find two single-cylinder engines. Of course, it would be even better if we could get a Xingfu 250. A broken one doesn't matter." Li Mu said as he took out money from his pocket.

Seeing this, Guan Jianmin waved his hands and said, "Wait, wait a minute, why are you giving me money? Do you want to buy a motorcycle?"

"Let's study it." Li Mu said.

Although he could just tell the Ministry of First Machine Industry directly and get as much as he wanted without spending any money, he didn't want to make it so ostentatious for the time being.

In the face of the above attention to him, as long as he shows interest in research, he will immediately support the project and send people to assist him.

Upgrading from a single-cylinder to a dual-cylinder engine is not as simple as adding a cylinder and changing the structure. It is likely to involve material issues.

Researching materials is not a matter of one or two days, and it is hard to say whether we can get the information from Ask.

It’s definitely better to be safe.

Guan Jianmin looked at Li Mu, as if he had guessed what he was thinking, and said:
"Okay, I will prepare it as you requested and send it to HKUST as soon as possible."

"As for the money, you don't have to give it."

"I have a way to get it without going through the higher-ups. Just wait for my good news."

He definitely can't take the money. If Li Mu wants to buy it, that's fine, but for research purposes, there's no reason for him to pay for it personally.

If people find out, he will no longer be able to work as an assistant.

"Do you have this ability?" Li Mu showed a doubtful look, but did not say it out loud.

Well, let's give it a try. We should save as much as we can. The landlord's family is not rich either.

Guan Jianmin glanced at Li Mu suspiciously:
"Why do I always feel underestimated?"

……

As an assistant sent by the higher-ups, although Guan Jianmin has always been a nobody, he has actually always taken very good care of Li Mu.

His ability is beyond doubt, and as for connections, he can even directly find Secretary Song who is close to his superior, and it will be even easier for him to get two engines and a Xingfu 250.

The next day, Guan Jianmin rode a motorcycle with two engines on the back to USTC.

The rumbling sound of the engine spread throughout the entire campus of USTC.

When Li Mu heard the noise, he knew it was him, and called General Zhao to go downstairs together.

With the sound of the engine stopping, Guan Jianmin parked his motorcycle downstairs in the dormitory. Under everyone's gaze, he patted the 75-new Happiness 250 beside him and said:

"How is it? Not bad, right? I've only driven it for a year, and the engine is about 80% new."

"Good, good, well done." Li Mu patted Guan Jianmin on the shoulder to show encouragement, and before his proud smile fully bloomed, he came to the car.

After looking around, he nodded with satisfaction.

With these things, at least initial research will not be a problem.

"Come on, give me a hand and carry the bike and the engine up together." Li Mu called out and led two people to carry the motorcycle and the engine into the dormitory.

The net weight of Yiliang Happiness 250 is 135 kilograms, which means that Li Mu’s strength has increased a lot, otherwise it would be difficult to move it.

After putting the car down, he looked around the dormitory, cleared a space, and then said, "Brother Zhao, how about you help me dismantle this car?"

"Me? No, no, what if I break it?" General Zhao shook his head like a rattle.

The price of a Xingfu 250 is more than 3000 yuan. Even if this one is not brand new, it is worth at least more than 2000 yuan.

Li Mu smiled and said:

"It's okay. I believe in your skills, Brother Zhao. Besides, if you come across something you don't know how to do, you can always ask me."

“You want to study mechanical engineering, this is a great opportunity to get started.”

"If you miss it, you'll have it gone in the future."

"This..." Upon hearing this, General Zhao hesitated for a while, and finally nodded.

Li Mu is right. Opportunities are rare. If you are not sure, you can ask him. The possibility of damaging it is not high.

Guan Jianmin, who was standing by, watched the two men start to fight, and paced back and forth anxiously, with an obvious expression in his eyes: "What about me?"

"Oh, by the way, there is also Assistant Guan, you...can help me get the things." Li Mu looked back, thought for a moment, and said.

"Now it's my turn to get the things?" Guan Jianmin felt dissatisfied, but his hands and feet had already deftly used the frame that Li Mu had just removed.

……

It took Li Mu and Zhao Canjun a whole morning to dismantle a Xingfu 250 into large and small parts.

After carefully observing the structure inside the engine, he had an idea in mind.

After dinner, he returned to the dormitory and sat down at the table.

I first took out the blueprints and conducted some analysis and organization based on the memories of riding motorcycles in my previous life and the existing single-cylinder engine structure.

If Ask's solution doesn't work, we can only rely on this information to design.

Although the difficulty will be greatly increased, it may not be impossible to complete.

Just when Li Mu was thinking seriously about the design, a "ding~" message alert sound suddenly rang in his mind.

His eyes lit up and he quickly opened the chat page.

Ask: "Lee, I'm here and I'm about to go in. Please tell me what you need first."

"Okay, I'm ready. Wait for me to find the written note." Li Mu replied while quickly opening the WIFI list.

——Harley Davis Motorcycle Database, Ducati Motorcycle Database, Victory Motorcycle Database...

The moment he saw the WIFI name, he clicked on it without hesitation.

First connect to the Harley-Davidson database and open the directory. The first thing that catches your eye is the introduction to the many series of information on Harley-Davidson motorcycles.

Li Mu quickly browsed and found the part about Harley engines. He clicked to download it and replied to Ask:

"First, ask me which is the latest all-black custom cruiser, the Low Rider-IV."

"It would be best if they could provide me with detailed data to facilitate my subsequent modifications."

"Oh, and let me see the most classic Road King, too."

While sending the message, he immediately opened the databases of a number of famous M-Engine motorcycle brands such as Ducati and Victory, and clicked to download one by one.

The final data size totaled more than 100G.

At a speed of 100KB/s, it would take more than ten days and it would definitely not be finished.

But fortunately, this time there are multiple download tasks, and Harley's is only about 1.7G, so I can basically finish downloading it by delaying Ask.
