The Red Era, the Opening University Speech

Chapter 215: The Battle Between Magnetic Fluid Technology and Traditional Mechanical Structures
Afterwards, everyone discussed the chemical co-precipitation method proposed by Li Mu, and only left in a hurry when it was time for dinner.

Before leaving, Peng Shilu, director of the Institute of Atomic Power, told Li Mu that he should go to the institute to provide guidance the next day.

Xiaguo's research on atomic submarine power still uses traditional mechanical structure. If it wants to change direction, it will inevitably have to undergo a major adjustment.

This is obviously difficult to accept for researchers who have invested a lot of time and energy in traditional mechanical structures.

It is not easy to convince them.

At least it needs to be proven that the effect of magnetic fluid technology is far superior to that of traditional mechanical structures.

"It's a bit troublesome!" After returning home, Li Mu thought about his current research plan in the study and felt a slight headache.

Of course he knew what Peng Shilu meant when he asked him to go over earlier for guidance.

In fact, he also had a way to convince those experts and professors who originally studied traditional mechanical structures to turn to magnetic fluid research.

But this will inevitably require more skills, which will greatly increase his learning pressure.

Li Mu thought about it, opened the chat page, and began to select the technology to be used tomorrow.

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

Ask:
"Lee, are you busy?"

"It's so strange. There's a person who keeps asking me questions these days."

"These are some very simple and basic questions. How do you think I should reject her?"

After seeing the message, Li Mu was about to answer and ask him to reject it directly, but his brows suddenly frowned slightly.

Something was wrong. Ask would suddenly come to him and ask such a question.

He asked, "Let me ask you first, is this person a man or a woman?"

"She's a girl, and she's a professor's assistant in the lab I'm in now," Ask replied.

Li Mu: "I'm interested in you, I'm in a second."

"Ah?" Ask was stunned when he saw the reply.

It's impossible for him to be interested in me.

How is it possible that apart from her, he has lived for so many years and has not even had a girl who likes him?

Ask said: "No, that's impossible. Besides, I just want to learn and become stronger now!"

"Then just refuse directly. She will understand after a few times." Li Mu replied casually.

He is now scared and dares not to encourage Ask anymore.

If he were an enemy spy, he would never be able to wash himself clean even if he jumped into the Yellow River.

Although the probability of being suspected by Fobolle of colluding with enemy spies to deceive the innocent boy Ask is not high, it is definitely not zero.

Ask:
"That's not good. Actually, this assistant is quite nice. She often brings me food."

"Although her asking me questions did waste my study time, if I reject her directly, will it make her sad?"

"I'm leaving soon anyway, so I'd better bear with it for a while."

——Poor Ask, being played around by a woman.

"Then, you should answer all the questions first, and slowly she will start to find some difficult questions. With your ability, she will hate you in a few days." Li Mu continued to give advice.

Ask: "Is this useful?"

"Shouldn't she be happy that I solved her problem?"

"No, it won't." Li Mu laughed secretly in his heart.

It would be devastating if a poor student spent a whole day to solve a difficult problem and then the genius took one look at it and casually told him the answer.

After chatting with Ask for a while, Li Mu withdrew his attention.

After thinking about it, I didn't continue to think about what technology to use tomorrow, but opened the WIFI list and started searching.

After a while, a target was found - the induction cooker.

He has been busy researching technology recently and has not produced any finished products to earn foreign exchange for the country for a long time.

Although the success of the video game console should lead to a surge in foreign exchange earnings, distant water cannot quench immediate thirst.

It is imperative to find new points of foreign exchange growth.

The induction cooker is a very good choice. Although it was invented by Sande in 57, it has been eliminated or banned from production and sale in some countries due to issues such as radiation leakage and applicability of cookware.

It was not until 72 that Emperor M solved these two problems and then began production and sales. In the early 20s, it became a hot seller at OM and Xiao Ri Zi and entered thousands of households.

As a common household appliance in daily life, the market for induction cookers is absolutely huge.

As long as it is produced, there will be no problem selling it thanks to Xia Guo’s current sales channels in OM.

As for technical issues...

"Belling and Stoves, these two brands occupy 38% of the market share in the field of induction cookers and integrated stoves. They should be of some standard." Li Mu looked at the databases of the two companies on the WIFI list and smiled.

Start copying!
……

The next day, early.

After Li Mu left home, he first went to the Semiconductor Research Institute as usual to check the research progress.

When I walked over to the Type 02 computer development team, I heard a little good news: the central processing unit chip had been initially tested successfully.

After encouraging everyone with a smile, he turned and left.

As long as there is a plan, he will not help again unless there is any big problem.

As for the research plan for the induction cooker, he only wrote the beginning yesterday and hasn't finished it yet.

The technological content of this household appliance is not high, so there is no need to be careful. He plans to copy it directly and then hand it over to Huang Kun or Wu Xi for subsequent experiments and production.

……

In the afternoon, Li Mu came to the Institute of Atomic Power.

The security level here is obviously much higher than that of the Radar Research Institute.

As soon as he approached, several guards came forward to check him.

Even after they took out their IDs and confirmed it, the vigilance in their eyes did not disappear, but became even more fierce.

The photo is exactly the same as the person, and there are no problems with the ID, but the person is too young, which is a big problem.

Several guards surrounded Li Mu, forming a double team. If he showed any sign of being abnormal, he would be pinned to the ground immediately.

He was only released after he called the police station to confirm.

After entering the gate, Li Mu hadn't walked far when he saw Jiang Nanying hurried over. Seeing him, she quickly apologized, "It's my fault. The director told me yesterday that you were coming, but I was so busy calling people that I forgot about it."

"It's okay, let's get started." Li Mu smiled. A high security level is a good thing. It would be strange if he was allowed to come in casually for such a top-secret national project.

Seeing this, Jiang Nanying stretched out her hand and said directly: "Then let's go directly to the conference room. The director and everyone are there."

...Following Jiang Nanying up to the laboratory building, Li Mu heard a noisy voice inside before reaching the meeting room:
"We have spent so much time on traditional mechanical structures, and now we are going to stop researching?"

"Yes, if we don't study it now, won't all the previous investment be wasted?"

"Magnetic fluid technology is good, but does our country have the research foundation? This thing is too advanced. Even Emperor M and Big Brother haven't figured it out. If we try to do it, wouldn't that be foolish?"

……

Hearing the sound coming from inside, Jiang Nanying felt a little embarrassed. She was about to explain, but saw Li Mu push the door open and walk in.

Seeing this, he was stunned for a moment, then hurried to catch up.

When the two came in, the sound of the door being pushed open with a "creak", did not attract the attention of the people in the conference room who were arguing fiercely.

It’s not that some people don’t think magnetic fluid is very good and is cutting-edge technology, but they are criticized so much that they lower their heads after just a few words.

Good things are good things, but it depends on whether they can be made.

The use of traditional mechanical structure is following the path of Emperor M and Big Brother. Although there are some bumps and bruises, at least they know it is right.

But magnetic fluid is something that almost no one abroad has understood, let alone in China. If any problem occurs, it will undoubtedly have a huge impact on the research of atomic submarines.

They are not arguing based on personal interests, but for the country.

If we take a wrong step, the time for the successful development of an atomic submarine will undoubtedly be greatly extended.

Li Mu did not speak either. He walked over to sit next to Peng Shilu who was sitting on the stage with a wry smile on his face.

Seeing him coming, Peng Shilu's eyes lit up. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Li Mu took out his notes and wrote down the issues being debated by the experts and professors below.

"How rare!" He couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

You can pretend to be calm, but there are very few people who can remain calm even when faced with a catastrophe, and who can even take out a pen to take notes.

While Li Mu was recording, the professors who were arguing below also saw Li Mu who suddenly appeared and gradually quieted down.

Some who were too excited were also pulled back and looked towards the stage in astonishment.

After the noise disappeared from his ears, Li Mu paused for a moment and then put the pen down.

He closed his notes, stood up, and introduced himself:

"Hello, experts and professors. I am Li Mu. I am invited by Dean Peng to serve as a consultant."

"I know everyone has a lot of questions about magnetic fluid technology. It's okay. I can answer them one by one."

"Just now a professor was worried that there are too few methods for preparing magnetic fluids, and the chemical co-precipitation method alone cannot meet the needs of research?"

"In fact, there are many methods for preparing magnetic fluids, but I think this is the best method at present. In addition to this method, you can also use grinding method, degumming method and thermal decomposition method..."

"Some professors are worried about the speed issue. In fact, this is also the difficulty in our research on magnetohydrodynamic thrusters. My current idea is to improve the propulsion principle and optimize the efficiency analysis..."

……

Based on the questions recorded in his notes, Li Mu answered everyone's questions about the magnetohydrodynamic thruster one by one.

When they heard that he was the originator of the magnetohydrodynamic propulsion theory, many people were ready to question him angrily.

After listening, they fell silent.

After carefully thinking about what Li Mu said for a while, they suddenly realized - Hey, how come it seems like it might actually work?
Peng Shilu, who was sitting next to him, had a glittering look in his eyes. After Li Mu finished speaking, he stood up and said, "If you have any questions, just raise them and we will solve them together."

"If all goes well, our research on the power of atomic submarines will be transformed from traditional machinery to magnetohydrodynamic propulsion!"

The people in the audience looked at each other with embarrassment on their faces. They had just vowed that magnetic fluid technology could not be realized, but now someone had proposed a feasible direction.

But before long, a professor said:

"Go ahead. Since there's hope for the realization of magnetohydrodynamic propulsion, I have no objection."

"I have none either. Think about it. This is still an opportunity to surpass Emperor M and Big Brother. If we seize it, we will be able to live up to the huge amount of money the country spends on us every year."

"Yes, if our country's semiconductors can work, magnetic fluids can definitely work too!"

……

Gradually everyone reached a consensus.

It's embarrassing, but everything they did was for the country.

As long as it is beneficial to the country, they will have no regrets even if their past efforts have been wasted.

Peng Shilu announced with a smile: "Okay, then from today on, the magnetohydrodynamic propulsion research team is officially established!"

……

After the development team was established, research started quickly.

Because magnetic fluid technology was relatively unfamiliar to everyone, Li Mu was surrounded by a large group of experts for the entire afternoon, asking questions non-stop.

There were basically no major problems with the technical theories and everyone learned very quickly.

That night, experts and professors began to experiment with the preparation of magnetic fluid according to the centralized magnetic fluid preparation method provided by Li Mu.

This process would obviously not be easy. Li Mu's few words would take them countless days and nights to complete the experiment.

Seeing that everyone looked like they were ready to work so hard, Li Mu almost felt embarrassed to leave.

However, thinking about the situation at the Beijing Institute of Technology's game R&D center, he still left before 7 o'clock.

……

Beijing Institute of Technology, game R&D center.

Although it was late, a light was still on in a corner of the administration building.

Li Mu walked to the entrance of the center and looked inside. In front of the small computer room, Shen Jianxin, Zhang Weiguo, and some students from schools not too far away were still busy writing code.

The enthusiasm with which he was immersed in it was much higher than the concentration of most programmers in later generations.

Li Mu walked into the computer room and deliberately made his footsteps louder so that everyone would notice his arrival.

Hearing the noise, Shen Jianxin was the first to turn around. Seeing that it was him, he showed a surprised expression and said, "Advisor Li, you're here."

After he shouted, some students who were too serious to notice Li Mu turned around and greeted him:

"Hello, Counselor Li."

"Consultant Li, thanks to your guidance from time to time, our current research and development is going smoothly."

“The experts and professors at the Semiconductor Research Institute are also very talented. We learn a lot from them every day!”

……

From the supercomputer selection test to now, they have already been impressed by Li Mu's abilities. Their eyes were full of respect while they spoke, and even had a hint of fanatical admiration.

Just setting up a game R&D center will gain attention from above and have the hope of being upgraded to a national unit. Not everyone has this ability.

"Good, good, well done." Li Mu responded with a smile, and then asked Shen Jianxin and others about the research and development progress of "Tank Battle" and "Soldier Table Tennis".
