The Red Era, the Opening University Speech

Chapter 259 Anti-tank D-bomb vehicle
At the Semiconductor Research Institute, the progress of the supercomputing project is relatively stable. The Type 03 computer and Type 01 operating system are also being promoted continuously, and the CMOS image sensor is basically completed.

On the group side, the technical content of the hot-plate machine itself is there and it has been successfully developed. The laser printer and plotter are also basically on the right track after the last guidance and should be ready within half a month at the latest.

The only problem was the semiconductor camera. According to the report by Huang Kun and Wu Xi, some problems were encountered in the structural design of the objective lens.

It’s not that the problem cannot be solved, but it will definitely take a long time.

"I have to go and take a look later." Li Mu thought.

Products like air fryers and hot pots that can make quick money are ultimately only a minority, and they still need to enter more markets to gain greater profits.

I heard that He Zhenhua's home appliance company in Hong Kong is doing very well, and he can use it to expand into the world market.

Most household appliances of later generations have semiconductors, which are small in size, highly efficient, simple to manufacture and low in cost. These advantages are enough to defeat the giants in the current global home appliance market.

Of course, we can't really act recklessly. After all, Xia State is in a rather embarrassing situation right now.

Although Big Brother showed a little goodwill, it was only a little and could not reverse the situation.

If the Xia Kingdom wants to gain a firm foothold in this situation, it still needs the guarantee of strong military force.

The most direct way is to successfully develop the big mushroom!
"But before that, it would be better to develop the surface-to-air D missile." Li Mu thought about it, and suddenly felt that it was not enough.

Now that we have the surface-to-air D missile, it would be unreasonable not to have a D missile launcher.

This thing is of great value to the country's strategic deterrence and big mushroom deterrence. Big Brother has just started to develop it. If Xia Country can make it, it will be far ahead.

With it around, Big Brother will have to think twice before trying to blackmail us with Big Mushroom in the future.

……

The next day, early.

Even though it was a rest time, Li Mu was still used to getting up early.

After washing up and exercising, I studied in the study for two hours to further consolidate my theoretical knowledge in various aspects.

After doing all this, he packed up and prepared to go home.

I originally planned to go back directly, but then I thought that if the previous incident of being blocked on the street happened again, it would inevitably cause trouble, so I called Guan Jianmin.

While waiting for someone, he did not waste time browsing some information about anti-tank D-type missile vehicles in the library of Jianqiao University.

The D-missile launcher of the big baby, the earliest one is the FV68 "Humber Hornet" in 1620, which is an early anti-tank D-missile launcher. It was equipped in 68. The design was based on the chassis of the FV1611 "Humber Pig" light armored personnel carrier, and it was modified with two "Markara" anti-tank D-missile launchers.

However, the FV1620 "Humber Hornet" also has many shortcomings. The number of D bullets is limited, and it is large in size and weight, and needs to be loaded manually. Therefore, only 24 vehicles were produced and then discontinued.

The technical difficulty to achieve is not high, but with so many problems, it is not the best choice.

Then the only option is the FV102 "Striker", a light tracked D-missile launcher that has been in service since the 70s and was not retired until the beginning of the century. It has flexible deployment and very strong attack power.

However, there are problems as it still uses visual standards and manual operation, and the range is only between 150 meters and 4000 meters.

……

As I was watching, there was a knock on the door.

Li Mu closed the chat page, stood up and opened the door, and it was indeed Guan Jianmin.

After saying hello, he asked the other party to drive him to the slum.

Halfway through the journey, they stopped for a while at the supply and marketing cooperative nearby, and Guan Jianmin got off the car to buy something.

He was sitting in the car, about to look up some more information about the D-bomb car, when he suddenly heard passers-by talking about it.

There were white curtains inside the car, so passers-by couldn't see the faces of the people in the car, but this didn't stop them from being curious and talking about it.

In this day and age, anyone who can ride in a car is extraordinary.

Of course, no matter how unusual it was, they didn't discuss it for too long, and the topic soon turned to the inventor king who was in the limelight recently:

"Maybe it's Comrade Li Mu sitting inside. It would be great if we could meet him. Our factory holds study sessions on Comrade Li Mu every day!"

"Who says it's not true? Our elementary school also holds discussions every day to let students take Li Mu as a role model. But how is that possible? A great scientist like that, who can win our country's highest science and technology award at such a young age, must be researching all day long."

"It's hard to say. A few days ago, someone saw Comrade Li Mu riding a bicycle on the street, and he talked to them for a long time."

……

Although the passers-by looked into the car curiously, fortunately they knew their limits and did not come up and knock on the window.

But just those words made Li Mu feel ashamed.

Being used as a role model to learn something from, especially in the form of study sessions and discussions, makes people feel inexplicably ashamed.

Fortunately, the shame did not last long.

Guan Jianmin quickly bought the things and drove away.

He looked back and saw that the crowd behind him was still gathered together to discuss. There was a glimmer of hope in everyone's eyes, which was a strong expectation for the rise of the nation and the rejuvenation of the country.

……

Back to the slum.

Li Mu asked Guan Jianmin to park the car at the entrance of Nanluoguxiang, and then got out of the car and walked with his things.

Here, the car is no longer a disguise, but rather more conspicuous.

Fortunately, no one recognized him until he reached the gate of the compound.

Even if others can't recognize it, Uncle Zhong definitely can.

He was playing with a Rubik's Cube with a few children when he suddenly saw two people approaching from a distance. He raised his eyelids and took a look. His whole body froze and he almost cried out in surprise: "Little, little..."

"Good morning, Uncle Zhong. Have you eaten?" Li Mu walked up to him with a smile and greeted him.

This voice pulled back Mr. Zhong who was about to shout. A trace of helplessness flashed across his face, and then he pretended to be calm and said, "I ate it, I ate it."

"Oh, Xiao, no, you should call me Professor Li now!"

"Why call me professor? I'm not even a professor. You should just call me Xiao Li. It sounds nicer. Besides, I'm just a consultant now." Li Mu said with a smile.

His position has actually always been consultant.

But somehow, I became a professor while writing about him in newspapers and on the radio.

This cannot be blamed on them for being sloppy. Perhaps everyone thinks that the person who can win the country's highest science and technology progress award should be a professor.

Uncle Zhong quickly shook his head and said awkwardly: "It's not that I can't call you Xiao Li anymore. You are a winner of a national award and have made great contributions to the country!"

Although Li Mu was a college student before, he could still call him "Xiao Li" because of his age. But now that Li Mu has become a famous scientist, it is not appropriate for him to call him that.

"Forget it, let's go in first." Li Mu smiled helplessly. He noticed from the corner of his eye that some people were looking over here, so he quickly pushed Uncle Zhong in.

As soon as they entered the compound, the neighbors were excited to see Li Mu, whom they hadn't seen for a long time, and they all came forward to greet him enthusiastically:
"Professor Li, I'll boil some eggs for you later."

"Professor Li, my son is going to junior high school this year. Are you free later? If you are free, come and teach him a few words and let him learn from you."

"Professor Li, my family is having fish for lunch, so I'll send some to your house!"

……

It was only a dozen steps from the front door to the house, but it took Li Mu more than ten minutes to walk there.

He did not reject everyone's enthusiasm. This was not a favor at all.

Besides, if the people in the slum really had problems, there was no need to ask him for help. It would be enough to ask his uncle Li Jun. They could basically solve the problem by using their connections to find the director. There was really no need to ask him.

Everyone surrounded Li Mu and came to his doorstep.

Grandma Li, Li Jun and Wang Juanhong were waiting behind the door early. The two little sisters were held by them on the left and right. They looked at Li Mu who was coming over with happy faces.

"Xiao Mu, you've brought honor to our Li family. You've won the National Highest Science and Technology Progress Award, which brings honor to our family!" Grandma Li stepped forward, grabbed her eldest grandson's hand, and said excitedly.

Li Jun also couldn't hide his joy and said, "Yes, Xiao Mu, now people all over the country know your name. I even take the lead in organizing study sessions in the factory every day and tell my fellow workers stories about your hard work in studying!"

Li Mu smiled and held Grandma Li's old, wrinkled hand, saying, "This is all thanks to Grandma. Without your teachings, I would not have achieved what I have today."

"And my uncle and aunt, without your support, I would not be able to study so peacefully."

"Of course, we also want to thank all of our neighbors for taking care of our Li family over the years."

What he said was not just polite talk, but full of sincerity.

Without Grandma Li, Li Jun, Wang Juanhong, and the surrounding neighbors, their family's life would probably have been very difficult before he was admitted to university.

With only the previous salary of Li Jun and Wang Juanhong, it was hard to imagine the pressure on them to support Grandma Li, Li Lan and Li Yu, and at the same time keep Li Mu well fed and able to study.

Without the help of their neighbors, even if their family could survive, it would be very difficult.

"Hey, why are you saying these things? We are all neighbors, and this is what we should do." Uncle Zhong at the back had a big smile on his face.

Not only him, but the neighbors around him also had smiles in their eyes.

In this day and age, a lot of shit can happen just for a bite to eat, but at the same time, in the most difficult circumstances, they with the most noble beliefs can shine with the brilliant light of humanity.

……

It’s almost time for lunch.

Li Mu took some food to share with the neighbors as usual, and also accepted their gifts in return, wild vegetables, sweet potatoes, steamed bread...

Even if the things are not that good, they are all thoughtful of everyone.

Of course, things don’t come for free.

In a short while, he took on several jobs teaching children.

It’s not a big deal, after all, it’s just giving them some chicken soup.

There were no naughty kids in that era, and for decades afterwards, corporal punishment was the most widely advocated form of education.

In addition to Li Mu's current identity, if any child dares to make trouble, the parents watching behind will come up with a smile, take the child away, give him or her a "love touch", and then bring the child back.

……

Just when Li Mu was wholeheartedly cultivating the future flowers of the motherland, the sound of gongs and drums suddenly rang out outside the courtyard.

Hearing the noise, his heart skipped a beat and he subconsciously felt that something was wrong.

The results were unsurprising.

Soon, a large group of people came rushing in from outside the slum, led by the director of the subdistrict office.

Seeing Li Mu, the latter rushed forward, grabbed his hand, and said excitedly: "Comrade Li Mu, you are finally back!"

"We have already prepared the silk banner and are waiting for you to give it to us when you get home!"

"You have made a great contribution to our country!"

Looking at the excited director of the subdistrict office and the enthusiastic crowd behind him, Li Mu said quickly: "Thank you, thank you Director and everyone for your affirmation of me!"

There is no need to be humble, and it is impossible to be humble at this time.

Being the only first prize winner of the National Highest Science and Technology Progress Award at the age of only 23, his achievement is almost worthy of being recorded in history, and it can almost be said that there is no one before him and no one after him.

With such achievements, how can one be humble?

"Comrade Li Mu, you're too kind. All we can do is just present you with a banner and take good care of your family. These are nothing compared to your contribution to the country!" The director of the subdistrict office shook Li Mu's hand tightly. The man in his forties was so excited that his face was flushed.

In Li Mu, he and they saw the hope for the rise of Xia Kingdom!

"You are wrong. It is precisely because of everyone's support for me and all scientists that we can produce results that are beneficial to the country. My achievement is just one of them!" Li Mujian said.

Hearing these words, everyone present was shocked, and they looked at Li Mu with admiration in their eyes.

……

The people brought by the street office filled the entire courtyard, surrounded Li Mu and held a simple symposium.

It was a lively party that gradually ended as night fell.

Seeing fatigue in Li Mu's eyes, the director of the street office forced people to leave, otherwise this matter would probably last longer.

But when he looked back and saw the pride in the eyes of Grandma Li and his uncle and aunt, he felt that it was all worth it.

If you don't return home when you are rich and powerful, what's the difference between that and walking in the night in fine clothes?

"But you'd better come back less often recently." Li Mu picked up the enamel cup beside him, took a sip of tea, and said to himself.

He guessed that winning the country's highest science and technology award would cause a big sensation, but he didn't expect it to be so big, and even to form a wave.

Factories, schools, and government agencies are all organizing activities to learn from him.

This posture really surprised him.
