The Red Era, the Opening University Speech

Chapter 232: The Rise of the Nation, Becoming the River Map Carrying the Fire

“But I’m afraid that game R&D centers in other places will not be able to reach the level of Kyoto. They spend manpower and financial resources on R&D, but what if they can’t sell the game in the end?” asked an economics expert.

This problem is very realistic and is also a headache for Leader Qiu and others.

Not to mention the gap between Kyoto's R&D level and conditions and those of other places, just the talent pool in other places is a big problem.

Another reason why every product they make is a best-seller is largely due to Li Mu's supervision.

One can't help but wonder whether it can be produced elsewhere, and whether it can be sold if it is produced.

Li Mu thought for a moment and said:
"Since we have established a semiconductor group, I think we can also set up a game department. After the games across the country are completed, they will be sent to the game companies in Kyoto for unified review."

"If it passes, then we will export it to earn foreign exchange. Otherwise, we will give you a comment and send it back for re-do."

"Although this will still cost some manpower, material resources and financial resources, it will be of great benefit to the expansion and development of the game industry."

"The increase in the number of people working in the gaming industry will also have a huge impact on the rapid training of talents in the entire semiconductor industry!"

"The two complement each other. On the surface, it seems that it is just adding a gaming industry, but the core is to rapidly increase the training of semiconductor professionals!"

His words made Leader Qiu, Guo Mo and others nod their heads continuously.

Dong Huaxing thought about it, then smiled and said, "I think there is another indispensable person in this game department. It will definitely not work without him."

Hearing this, everyone was stunned at first, and then they all looked at Li Mu.

If there is anyone who is indispensable in this gaming department, it must be Li Mu.

After all, before him, the concept of video games did not even exist in the world.

The huge economic benefits generated so far are all due to the games he developed.

Seeing everyone's eyes looking at him, Li Mu smiled bitterly.

Just as he was about to speak, Leader Qiu said, "He will definitely participate, but I think he can just be a consultant."

"That's right. The gaming department is a huge business and his attention cannot be distracted." Guo Mo also echoed.

Although games can generate high economic value, no matter how high the economic value is, it is not as important as Li Mu’s research. The development and strengthening of basic and national defense science and technology are the foundation for the country’s rise!

Seeing that both Leader Qiu and Guo Mo had spoken, Dong Huaxing also said, "That's right. With his advice as a consultant, the development of the gaming department will surely flourish."

Although he was talking about the right to make recommendations, everyone present knew that it was actually no different from the right to veto.

Any game that Li Mu thinks is not good will probably not have a chance to be released and will have to be sent back for rework.

In the gaming industry, he is undoubtedly the absolute authority, and no one can question it!

"Since all the leaders and comrades believe in me, I will take on the burden of this consultant first. However, for the game industry, I am only building a framework. The real subsequent development and growth still requires the emergence of professional talents. Please take over this burden from me," Li Mu also stood up and said in a deep voice.

Making games makes money quickly and the cycle is relatively short. In order to support the development of various national undertakings, he cannot give up, but it cannot take up too much of his energy.

"Okay, let's all give a round of applause to Comrade Li Mu. I believe that with his help, our country's economic development will definitely reach a higher level!" Leader Qiu smiled and applauded.

As soon as he finished speaking, the audience burst into warm applause.

After the applause, everyone began to discuss the issue of establishing a semiconductor group and made various adjustments and plans for future factory company construction and industrial base planning.

……

After the meeting, Li Mu wanted to leave directly, but unexpectedly he was kept alone by Leader Qiu, Guo Mo and Dong Huaxing.

Leader Qiu said solemnly:

"Li Mu, you should know that establishing a semiconductor group, reducing the constraints of rules and regulations, and realizing centralized resource planning and coordinated development of the industry is one of the important plans for the development of our country's semiconductor industry in the next five years."

"To implement this plan, we need to build a strong technical team and let professionals do professional things. This is the original intention of our establishment of the group."

"Therefore, after discussion, it has been decided that you will serve as the chief designer of this technical team. Due to the sensitivity of the industry and for your own safety, you will be in charge of the entire project under a code name, which is 'Hetu'.

"The superiors hope that you can create the earliest chapter of wisdom by using the River Map, just like Fuxi in ancient times. The code name 'River Map' was also given to you by the superiors themselves!"

The Semiconductor Research Institute is, after all, a research unit. It is impossible for it to shoulder the responsibility of both researching technology and developing products at the same time. The burden is too heavy.

Therefore, it is imperative to set up a technical team dedicated to product research.

But this news made Li Mu a little confused. Let him be the chief designer?

He subconsciously said, "No, how can I take this position? Let someone more qualified do it, and I will continue to be a consultant."

The establishment of a semiconductor group is by no means a simple matter.

The technical team will be the core of the core.

The position of chief designer is of utmost importance, requiring not only strong abilities but also sufficient qualifications.

"The development of the semiconductor group requires not qualifications but ability. This is not our decision, but the instruction of our superiors!" Guo Mo said seriously.

Leader Qiu followed up:
"That's right. What we need now is capable people to take on big responsibilities."

"Don't be too modest. If you don't become the chief designer, I'm afraid there won't be anyone better than you in the whole country."

"This position is not only a right, but also a heavy responsibility. We are all aware of the importance of the semiconductor industry. It is no exaggeration to say that it is related to the third industrial revolution!"

"One of the biggest reasons why our motherland has suffered for a hundred years is that we missed the first two industrial revolutions. Semiconductors are the third industrial revolution that we must not miss!"

"Li Mu, are you willing to become the river map that carries the fire for the rise of the country?"

Listening to the two people's words, Li Mu couldn't help but feel warm in his heart, and said word by word: "I am willing, I only hope to carry the map of the rising fire with all my efforts."

He was indeed worried that he would be criticized for being too young, but the fate of the country was at a crossroads. Whether the Xia nation could stand at the top of the world in 50 years would be decided at this moment.

He would certainly give everything without hesitation just to lay the foundation for his rise.

"Okay, that's right. Young people should dare to think, dare to act, dare to take risks and dare to charge!" Upon hearing this, Leader Qiu and others showed gratified smiles on their faces.

Afterwards, everyone encouraged Li Mu for a while before letting him leave.

……

It was already 6pm when the meeting ended.

Li Mu did not continue to do research at the institute, but returned home. After calming down, he concentrated on thinking about the problems after becoming the chief designer in the study.

To be honest, although he accepted the responsibility, he still felt a little unsure.

It's okay for him to be a consultant and guide others in research, but it's unprecedented for him to lead the technical team of an entire semiconductor group.

If something goes wrong, the consequences will be disastrous.

After all, this concerns the fate of the country and nation!
Although he is confident in his current scientific research level, he still needs to continue learning and improving in order to be worthy of the position of chief designer.

Thinking of this, Li Mu immediately turned his attention to the design of the next new product in the semiconductor industry - the semiconductor camera.

Wang Shoujue's staff were almost ready, and he needed to complete the plan for the semiconductor camera today, otherwise it would be a bit of a delay.

Open the chat page - start working!
With the lesson learned from the problem with the shielding material of the induction cooker last time, he was more careful this time. He would rather temporarily castrate some functions that are more difficult to achieve than increase the difficulty of research for everyone.

Anyway, even if they are castrated to the extreme, with their technology, they can still achieve a dimensionality reduction attack on several giants in the world's photographic equipment industry.

The track has been changed, and the latter has no place to exert its strength even if it wants to fight.

……

The past two hours.

Just when Li Mu had finished writing the plan, a "ding~" message alert sound suddenly rang in his mind.

Ask: "Lee, something is wrong. It's absolutely wrong!"

"What's wrong? Are you obsessed with learning?" Li Mu replied quickly.

As he spoke, the pen in his hand drew the last line on the manuscript paper, completing the ideal structure diagram of the semiconductor camera.

Ask on the other end was holding his phone, tapping the keys, and said, "Do you remember that you asked me to confess my feelings to that girl last time?"

"You succeeded?" Li Mu frowned, feeling as if he was worried that his brother would have a hard life, but also worried that his brother would drive a Land Rover.

That doesn't make sense. Could he be another enemy spy?

It's unlikely. If that were the case, Ask, the innocent boy, should have been taken down long ago.

Ask:
"It wasn't successful. She really ran away after I told her and I haven't seen her for several days."

"Although he came later, he didn't talk to me."

"I thought this matter was over, but I found out today that when I wasn't paying attention, she would secretly look at me and smile at me!"

"Is it possible that this is your illusion?" Li Mu asked subconsciously.

The three biggest illusions in life are: my phone vibrates, I can fight back, she likes me. Even if people are already familiar with them, they will inevitably fall into the trap.

Ask hurriedly said: "No, no, she must be looking at me. I was doing an experiment at the time and there was no one around."

"Lee, what do you think I should do?"

"If she had come up and asked me to take responsibility for what I said, wouldn't I be the same as you?"

"What do you mean by the same as me? Am I some kind of scumbag?" Li Mu was quite annoyed. He was very loyal now, even before he was the same - he exclusively liked the eighteen-year-old.

He said angrily:
"Maybe they are wary of you, after all, you suddenly confessed your feelings to someone you just met not long ago."

"Well, ignore her for now and see if this is just your illusion."

"If not, you can be more drastic and confess your feelings in public. I guarantee she will be so scared that she will never dare to appear in front of you again."

Looking at his message, Ask was conflicted.

He thought the idea seemed a little strange.

"Really? We won't fail again this time, will we?" Ask asked cautiously.

Li Mu smiled and said, "I am not just a love expert for nothing. Trust me, I am right!"

"Okay." Ask replied, and then there was no more news.

Li Mu, who succeeded in instigating again, smiled slightly.

Of course, his reputation as a love expert is not undeserved. He had already figured out whether the girl who kept asking Ask questions liked Ask.

The answer is of course yes.

As for why he did this even though he knew the other person liked Ask, it was very simple.

——At least the other party is not an enemy spy.

"I hope Ask is not too innocent." Li Mu thought secretly in his heart.

It was his instigation that made Ask take the first step towards the abyss. If he had not been discovered by the boss of his research institute, the consequences would have been disastrous.

So now, no matter what, he has to find a way to make up for it.

Given Ask's personality, it would be difficult for her to start over without revealing her identity as a prostitute.

……

The next day, early.

After Li Mu washed up and exercised, he pushed his bicycle out and prepared to go to the Semiconductor Research Institute.

As he was walking out, a Shanghai brand car stopped in front of him and Guan Jianmin got out of the car.

Seeing him, Li Mu was stunned and asked curiously: "Why is he here?"

Although the car was assigned to him exclusively, it was registered under the name of the Semiconductor Research Institute, so he only used it occasionally.

Just let Guan Jianmin know in advance and he will come to pick him up on time.

But Li Mu did not inform Guan Jianmin yesterday, so he was inevitably a little surprised by the latter's sudden appearance at this time.

"The superior wants to see you." Guan Jianmin walked forward quickly, and with one sentence he untied Li Mu and shocked him all over.

"See, see me?" Li Mu's eyes were filled with surprise.

Guan Jianmin said: "Yes, let's go, don't let the leader wait anxiously."

"Okay, okay, let's go." Li Mu took a deep breath, calmed his excited mood, and then said in a deep voice.

Although he didn't know why his superiors wanted to see him, he had to go anyway.

After saying that, he immediately followed Guan Jianmin into the car.

……

The car drove all the way to a secret place.

After careful inspection and questioning, they stopped at the gate of a small courtyard.

The vermilion paint has peeled off a little, but it still cannot conceal the solemnity and majesty of this place.

Secretary Song received the report from the guard early and was waiting at the door to greet him.

Seeing Li Mu getting out of the car, he walked up to him with a smile and said, "Advisor Li, it's been a while!"

"Long time no see, Secretary Song." Li Mu responded with a smile, but his eyes still remained on the building in front of him.

In later life, he had visited the Forbidden City and even strolled around the Golden Palace in Daqing, but he had never been here.

Of course, there is nothing special about buildings; what matters is the people who live inside them.
