The Red Era, the Opening University Speech

Chapter 238 I'll tell you something funny

The news of the successful development of the new Doppler radar soon reached the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

After listening to Wu Youhao's report, Guo Mo was so happy that he almost fell on the table.

"Can it really cover the other side and respond quickly within 30 minutes?" He asked this question three times in a row, but still found it a little unbelievable.

You know, in the past, when the other side used the planes given by Emperor M to fly over, they often didn't notice them until they got close, and could only respond hastily.

Due to their backward weapons and equipment and frequent surprise attacks, the losses were often very heavy.

But if the new Doppler radar can really respond quickly within 30 minutes, then they can catch them off guard the next time the other side sends planes to harass them.

By then, even if Xia Guo cannot completely stop the planes from the other side from coming over, it will be able to severely put an end to their arrogance.

Facing the excited Guo Mo, Wu Youxiang also smiled and said, "I am sure. When I came here, Director Peng of the Radar Research Institute had repeated the test many times, and the data is quite stable."

"Haha, okay!" Guo Mo laughed twice, then picked up the phone, thought about it, and called the leader of the army.

After learning the good news of the success of the new Doppler radar, the troops quickly held a special combat meeting.

……

Semiconductor Research Institute.

After the final test was successful, Li Mu did not insist on finishing the subsequent tests. Following Wu Youxiang's words, he went to his dormitory, lay on the bed and had a good sleep.

When he woke up and was about to get up, he suddenly saw the dormitory full of serious-looking figures.

Guo Mo, Leader Qiu, Gu Zheng, and even Dong Huaxing came, as well as Wu Youxiang, Wang Shoujue and others, all stared at him intently, which scared him.

"Dear leaders, why are you here?" Li Mu asked anxiously.

It's just a small effort of just over half a month, is it necessary for so many people to come together?

Guo Mo said seriously, "Do you know how long you slept?"

"How long did you sleep...wasn't it only 2 hours?" Li Mu looked at the watch on his wrist and asked puzzledly.

As soon as the voice fell, everyone snorted coldly and said:
"It's 26 hours. A day has already passed!"

"Do you know how worried we were and how worried the higher-ups were about you being in a coma for so long?"

"If you don't wake up, we're going to take you to the hospital, okay?"

……

After hearing these words, Li Mu finally realized that he had slept for so long.

He quickly said, "It's okay, it's okay. I was just a little sleepy. I woke up after a nap and felt much better. If you don't believe me, just look."

As he spoke, he pumped his fists a few times.

The "whoosh~" sound of the fist made Guo Mo's mouth twitch as he wanted to continue speaking. However, the eyes of a middle-aged man in military uniform standing behind him lit up.

"But it is a fact that you slept for a whole day and a whole night!" Leader Qiu stood up and said in a heavy tone:

"This time it's 26 hours, what about next time?"

"You've had health problems for a long time. We've reminded you many times to be careful. Be careful."

Seeing that everyone's faces were becoming more and more serious, Li Mu couldn't help but feel a little panicked.

He didn't want to go back to the days when his research time was restricted every day.

He used to feel that 18 hours were not enough, let alone 8 hours.

He quickly admitted his mistake and said, "Dear leaders, I know I was wrong. I promise that I will never make the same mistake again!"

After hearing his solemn assurance, everyone's gazes softened a little, but they still scolded him for a long time.

……

Afterwards, Guo Mo first asked some of the crowded people in the dormitory to leave, and asked someone to bring some food to Li Mu. While watching him eat, he said:

"Don't think that just because you have a guarantee, you can pretend nothing happened."

"You developed a new type of Doppler radar, which is a merit, but you don't take care of your body, which is a fault."

"Rewards for merit, punishments for faults. For the next three days, put aside your research and have a good rest!"

"Three days?" Li Mu paused his wolfing down of food and raised his head to bargain with Guo Mo. However, after glancing at the eager eyes of the people around him, he reluctantly gave up.

Forget it, three days is three days. It’s just that I can’t do research, it doesn’t mean I can’t do anything else.

Visiting a game R&D center can’t be called research, right?

Hanging out in the Ministry of Culture and Education's software engineering textbook compilation group can't be called research, right?

Or you can go find He Zhenhua and see how he is doing with his brand. That can't be considered research, right?
As if he had seen through Li Mu's thoughts, Guo Mo immediately said, "I will go to the Beijing Institute of Technology and the Ministry of Culture and Education to say hello, so don't even think about going there."

Hearing this, Li Mu was helpless.

Well, there is no loophole.

At this moment, Guo Mo seemed to remember something.

He pushed the middle-aged man in military uniform behind him out and introduced him:
"By the way, this is Comrade Ai Zhonghua, coming here to express gratitude to you on behalf of the troops for developing the new Doppler radar, and to invite you to attend the celebration meeting over there."

"Celebration party?" Li Mu was stunned, his eyes full of confusion.

Seeing this, Ai Zhonghua stepped forward and explained:

"Advisor Li, you may not know that at around 9 o'clock last night, two U-2 high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft, known as the 'Ace of the Sky' of the U.S. Empire, took off from the other side of the strait, intending to threaten the lives, property and safety of our people and to challenge our airspace."

"But they didn't expect that, thanks to the new Doppler radar you developed, we detected and locked onto the two U-2s as soon as they took off. With the advantage in information, we set up an ambush on their route in advance and successfully shot them down."

"You are the biggest contributor to this victory. Therefore, on behalf of the leadership of the army, I extend an invitation to you and hope that you can attend this celebration!"

At the end of his speech, he saluted solemnly, his eyes full of respect.

If Li Mu had not made a new type of Doppler radar, they would probably have had to watch the invasion from the other side leave.

"It would be great if it could play a role in our country's national defense projects!" After hearing Ai Zhonghua's words, Li Mu's sense of satisfaction soared and his face was full of smiles.

But as for the celebration party, he could only reluctantly refuse, saying: "But there is no need for a celebration party. I am busy with things at hand right now, I am afraid I can't leave. Please apologize to the army leaders on my behalf."

"No, you don't have to apologize. I believe the leaders won't care. If they knew, they would be even more looking forward to you making more powerful weapons and teaching a lesson to those who dare to challenge our national dignity!" Ai Zhonghua said firmly. After that, he quickly turned around and left, swiftly and decisively, without any hesitation.

But Li Mu's emotions did not subside for a long time.

I have made so many scientific research results and achieved so many accomplishments, but none of them can compare to the joy I feel at this moment.

Shooting down two of the U-2 high-altitude reconnaissance planes, the "air ace" of the U.S. Empire, caused them to suffer a major setback. It sounds exciting.

I just wish I could see that scene with my own eyes!

……

Just when Li Mu was feeling extremely satisfied, Dong Huaxing looked at Guo Mo who was about to speak and said:

"By the way, you have to rest for the next few days, so I might as well finish everything at once."

"M Emperor sent us a message that we were discovered for avoiding official sales channels. Customs inspections have been stepped up there. I'm afraid we will be forced to give up M Emperor's market in the future."

"The countries in Continent O and Empire M have also received their notices, prohibiting our goods from entering the country. But fortunately, our market in Continent O is deep enough and the profits are huge, so there shouldn't be any problems for the time being."

His tone was heavy.

Even though we had anticipated this day, it was still heartbreaking when it finally came.

Although the market in the United States is not as big as that in Europe, it still generates tens of millions of dollars in profit every year. It's gone just like that. I'm heartbroken!
As for Continent O, although the situation has been temporarily stabilized due to high profits, it will still cost a greater price to feed those jackals.

As a result, profits are likely to drop by nearly half, which is a heavy loss.

Li Mu was a little confused after hearing this, but he quickly came to his senses, thought about it, and said:

"M Emperor is checking too strictly. There is really no way to continue selling goods at the moment."

"Although costs will certainly increase, resulting in lower profits, it is better than completely losing the M Empire market. In addition, we can also open up markets in southeastern countries. It may be a little less, but even a small amount is still meat."

"This is the only way." Dong Huaxing sighed helplessly.

Xia Country’s current situation is indeed a bit too embarrassing. It is hostile to countries like OM, and has broken up with its big brother. It is in a situation where it cannot please both sides.

That is, there is still some exchanges between them and the countries in the southeast and a few countries in other continents.

But these countries are poorer than them, and even if they occupy the entire market, they cannot make much money.

Looking at Dong Huaxing, who was full of worry, Li Mu said:

"By the way, in Hong Kong, He Zhenhua mentioned to me before that he wanted to set up a home appliance brand. I think it's a good idea to try it."

"If it's a Hong Kong brand, the inspection should be much looser. You can try to see if this route is passable."

"The M Emperor will now strictly inspect our goods entering the country. Ultimately, it is because they don't want to see us make a profit, but I don't believe they can hold out for long."

It is impossible for the jackals in this country to turn a blind eye to the huge pie of semiconductors. Under the temptation of huge profits, he really does not believe how long this policy of the M Empire can last.

……

Afterwards, Li Mu discussed with Dong Huaxing for a while about whether the factory should adjust its production. It was not until Guo Mo and Leader Qiu's faces turned slightly dark that they stopped the discussion with a sense of unfulfilled desire.

Then, after distributing the reward for his development of the new Doppler radar, Guo Mo asked Guan Jianmin to take him home to rest.

The reward was simple: a certificate, three stacks of meal tickets, meat tickets, cloth tickets, and enough industrial tickets to last forever, and only thirty yuan in cash!
Although it is simple, it does represent the country's affirmation and recognition of his contribution.

……

After returning home, Li Mu first put the certificate away, then carefully took out the medal of honor and placed it on the shelf of the desk.

"It's a pity that the surface-to-air D bomb has not yet been developed. Otherwise, it would feel even more satisfying to shoot down the plane with the D bomb I developed!" He thought with a little regret.

It is really difficult to find time to develop the surface-to-air D missile now.

Theoretical research can solve it, but experiments are a big problem.

It’s not that he can’t do it, but he can’t do it in Kyoto. He can’t test-fire it in Kyoto.

"Or just go get the big mushrooms!" Li Mu was excited and this idea popped up in his mind again.

Although I know it is impossible, the temptation of using a big nuclear power to blow up my daily life is really hard to resist!

Shaking his head, Li Mu threw away the chaotic thoughts in his mind and returned to the research work at hand.

With the help of supercomputers and Type 01 computers, the development progress of the big mushroom should have been advanced a lot. It would be a waste of time to give up my own research project and join in at this time.

First, organize the next research plan.

After the successful development of the new Doppler radar, Li Mu did not intend to give up the research. The next step is to continue to develop airborne Doppler radar.

Airborne Doppler radar can be installed on aircraft, which can not only measure the target position, but also identify moving targets and measure target speed based on Doppler frequency shift.

With this thing, even if Xia Country's fighter jets are far inferior to those of Emperor M and Big Brother in performance, they can still fight.

However, Li Mu does not plan to develop the Doppler radar too quickly. His primary goal is to complete the development of the magnetohydrodynamic thruster first.

Then we will get the technical team at the semiconductor group to come up with one or two product plans while continuing the original research on semiconductor cameras, and let them start developing them.

Thinking of this, Li Mu immediately began to prepare a plan.

Just as he picked up the pen, the door of the study was suddenly pushed open with a creaky sound.

Wang Ya came in with a bowl of egg noodles. Her face showed no emotion. She said, "It's so late. You must be hungry. Eat something."

Looking at her expression, Li Mu suddenly remembered that he had forgotten to explain that he had slept for more than a day.

"Um, okay, okay." Li Mu quickly took the noodles, and then said carefully: "By the way, let me tell you a funny story. I slept for more than a day yesterday, and I slept more than a pig. Do you think it's funny?"

"It's quite funny." Wang Ya said lightly, but there was no smile on her face.

This reaction made Li Mu more nervous than directly blaming him. He smiled bitterly and said, "Okay, don't be angry. I promise I won't do it again."

"This is a special case. I have to hurry up and finish this research, otherwise future research will be even busier."

After hearing his explanation, Wang Ya's expression eased a little, but she still felt that she couldn't forgive Li Mu so easily.

After thinking for a while, she said, "Let's go to sleep."

Li Mu was overjoyed when he heard that. He was about to go back to the bedroom with her to rest, but she said, "You will sleep in the study today."
