The Red Era, the Opening University Speech

Chapter 270: If you don't make a sound, you'll be amazing.
Master Qian Wu looked at Li Mu's expression and knew that he was not lying, so he said, "By the way, you know the Hawke surface-to-air missile of the M Emperor, right?"

"Yes, it is the low-level missile defense system currently in service in the M Empire. It is mainly used for mid-level and medium-to-low altitude defense. It is a mobile system with the advantages of all-weather day and night combat, strong firepower, high reliability, and resistance to electronic interference." Li Mu replied.

Since he wanted to do research, he naturally read all the information he could find.

Master Qian Wu nodded slightly and said:
"Yes, the Hawke D-bomb combat unit is mainly composed of three parts: capture, fire control and shooting."

"It includes a pulse acquisition radar for target surveillance, a high-power illumination radar for target tracking, a command post with an operating console, a MKXII friend-or-foe identification question and answer system and three triple-mounted launchers."

"Generally speaking, the Hawk system is deployed in battalion formations and communicates with the TSQ-73D missile designator via the Army tactical data link..."

He gave all the information about Hawke's surface-to-air D bomb in detail.

Li Mu only realized halfway through listening that this was giving him a reference target.

Even if he asked Guo Mo for such detailed information, he might not be able to get it. Even if he did, it might not be so detailed.

It’s almost as detailed as the information in his chat page.

After Master Qian Wu finished speaking, Li Mu couldn't help but ask, "Teacher, do you know this Hawke system so well?"

"Haha, I've seen some of them when I was in M ​​Emperor, but they should have been researching new things. I'm afraid this will be outdated soon." Master Qian Wu laughed twice, and then said with some emotion.

Only then did Li Mu realize how high his teacher's status was in Emperor M. He even had access to the core information of Emperor M's current military weapons.

I even know that the M Emperor is already developing new surface-to-air missile weapons!
Master Qian Wu continued:

"Although we lag behind them in the research of the D-bomb, we are far ahead of all other countries in another aspect, that is, semiconductors."

"Relying on our advantages in semiconductors, we have gained great benefits in various research projects, including military equipment research. You may not know that many new equipment based on chip research have been designed and finalized, and have been deployed in the army on a small scale, which has significantly improved combat effectiveness."

"As a developer, you are a real treasure in the eyes of the leaders in the army. If it weren't for the above-mentioned people stopping you, I'm afraid you would have been snatched away to design new equipment long ago!"

His tone showed his admiration for the student.

Li Mu's heart moved when he heard this, and he said:
"Teacher, I want to study helicopters recently, and I have also contacted the Aviation Institute."

"But now it is still just a theoretical discussion, and it is very difficult to put it into practice."

"Especially with regard to the turboshaft engines that helicopters need to use, there is still no clue to solve it."

"I was wondering why you didn't have time to work on the ground-to-air missile. It turns out you've been quietly researching helicopters." Master Qian pointed at Li Mu and said, "I haven't done much research on engines. I'll sort out the information I have and give it to you for reference."

"Thank you, teacher!" Li Mu said in surprise.

Although the information in Master Qian's hands certainly does not include the future UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter, it is definitely quite advanced technology and has great reference value for him.

Since we are unable to obtain the information from General Electric, we may have to rely on this information as a basis for further research.

……

Afterwards, Li Mu chatted with Master Qian Wu for a while.

The topic of their conversation revolved around advanced military equipment from various countries. The more they talked, the more he realized how knowledgeable Master Qian Wu was. No matter what he asked, he could always explain it clearly and draw inferences about other situations, which gave him a lot of inspiration.

In the evening, after finishing his meal at Master Qian Wu’s house, Li Mu returned home quickly and went into his study to sort out the inspiration he had gained in the afternoon.

"Not only can we get helicopters, but we can also get transport vehicles. The transportation conditions over there on the plateau must be very bad. If we can solve this problem, it will not be difficult to defeat the Indians." Li Mu held the pen, his eyes shining.

The reason why Xia State stopped fighting India when it reached its capital was not only because of the purpose of deterrence, but also because of supply difficulties.

But if we can solve this supply problem, maybe we can also cripple India's military forces at the same time.

In this way, they probably would not dare to continue to provoke the Xia Kingdom like they did in later generations.

"What kind of transportation tool should we get, a transport plane? It seems that the conditions are not met. Even if we have the information, it cannot be realized, not to mention that there is no information now." Li Mu scratched his head.

If the ones in the sky don’t work, then the only ones left are those on earth.

If we can develop heavy-duty transport trucks, it will greatly alleviate the supply problem.

But there is still a prerequisite - data.

No matter what you do, you need information, but Ask is now in Stratford City and I'm afraid he won't move in the short term.

Li Mu opened the chat page, thought for a moment, and sent a message to Ask: "Yes, how's your work going?"

He waited for a while but got no reply. Just as he was about to close the chat page, a "ding~" message alert sounded.

Ask: "I'm so tired.jpg."

"Since I got here, I've been working day and night. I can only take a break by going to the toilet."

"It's right to endure hardships. There is an old saying in our Xia country, 'Only those who endure hardships can become the best,' do you know?" Looking at the emoticons on the chat box, Li Mu couldn't help but smile.

Ask: "I know that as long as you are willing to endure hardships, there will be endless hardships, right?"

Having known Li Mu for such a long time, he also knew a lot of popular internet memes from Xia Country.

"Ahem, that's what I said, but you have to work hard. You have to work hard, and so do I." Li Mu paused and sent a second message: "By the way, do you know the UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter?"

"Yes, this helicopter is very famous. What's the matter?" Ask replied.

He actually didn't know much about these, but he could just check on his phone.

Li Mu hesitated for a moment before continuing:

"I heard this helicopter is very powerful, but I think it is outdated, especially in terms of engines. It can't compare with our country's latest Z-30 helicopter."

Ask was unconvinced and said: "You can't compare them like that. The invention time of the Z-30 and UH-60 helicopters is almost half a century apart."

"Speaking of engines, General Electric's latest engine, the T901-GE-900, is quite powerful."

"Although I must admit that Xia Country has indeed surpassed our country in some areas in recent years, we are not vegetarians either."

"Indeed, Emperor M is really good at this. By the way, we should go to visit General Electric. I really want to see the UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter with my own eyes." Li Mu stated his ultimate goal.

He wanted to take Askew to Boston, where General Electric was located.

It wouldn't take too long, just a few hours, for him to download all the core information.

Ask said: "It should be possible to visit, but most people probably don't have this opportunity."

"That's really a pity. The control here is too strict. I thought you could see it with your own eyes." Li Mu replied with regret.

After seeing this message, Ask immediately said:
"I can find some connections, and there's a chance."

"Li, you are my best friend, I will definitely help you." "And if you come over, we can just meet, it's a little exciting just thinking about it."

Now he needs to busy himself with research and can no longer play games with Li Mu like before.

However, this does not affect the deep friendship between them.

Ask really wanted to meet Li Mu. Without this good friend, he wouldn't have everything he has today. He wanted to thank him no matter what.

"Okay then, we have an appointment. I'll come over when you're done." Li Mu said quickly.

Although he certainly couldn't go, it didn't matter. At worst he could just make up an excuse and get away with it.

If Ask failed to deliver a plan once in a while, he wouldn't be suspicious.

Ask: "It's a deal."

Looking at the message on the chat page, Li Mu was stunned for a moment, then smiled helplessly, and thought to himself: "It's not that I want to break the contract, but the conditions really don't allow it!"

……

The next day, early.

After washing up and exercising, Li Mu went to the Semiconductor Research Institute to start his day's work.

Wang Shoujue said there was no problem, but last time he only went to the network group and the storage system group. There were two other groups he didn’t visit. They also had a lot of problems, and the probability of solving them in just three days was not high.

Therefore, as soon as he arrived at the institute, he went directly to the processor development group.

Seeing him coming, Professor Wen, the team leader, showed a look of joy on his face. He quickly called several researchers who were about to start work and asked them to come over.

After doing all this, he reported: "Advisor Li, we have basically solved the problem of parallel computing. You were away a few days ago, so I decided to start researching heterogeneous parallel computing."

"But it's still the same old problem. To achieve heterogeneous parallel computing, you need to combine multiple processors, but with our current technology, it is very difficult to achieve this."

"There's no need to rush, Professor Wen. There's still a lot of room for improvement in parallel computing. We should focus on stability and solve the architectural problems of parallel computing first." Li Mu shook his head slightly.

Now most of the people who have followed him in the Semiconductor Research Institute are "arrogant and brave" people with too high standards. As long as they are told that there is something better, they will spare no effort to study it.

This situation cannot be said to be bad, it can only be said to have both advantages and disadvantages.

He still needs to keep a close eye on it.

After listening to this, Professor Wen nodded and said, "I was too aggressive. Since Consultant Li thinks it is not the right time, let's continue to study parallel computing."

"Of course, while conducting research and development on heterogeneous parallel computing, we have not completely given up on parallel computing research and are now designing the hardware architecture."

"That's good." Li Mu nodded slightly, looking at the expectant eyes around him, and after a moment of hesitation, he continued:

"Regarding hardware architecture, I currently have three ideas: unified memory access, non-uniform memory access, and distributed memory."

"The so-called unified memory access is to make all processors access memory at the same time and in the same way, which is achieved by a symmetric multiprocessor..."

He briefly talked about the research direction of hardware architecture.

We have to speak up. If we rely on Professor Wen and others to think about it slowly, it will probably take at least a year or two to solve the problem.

"Okay, let's start our research." After saying this, Li Mu clapped his hands, and then asked everyone to start working.

……

After the processor development team got started, Li Mu continued to the software and algorithm optimization group.

According to Professor Zhang's report, their research is going relatively smoothly and they have not encountered any difficult-to-overcome technical difficulties.

This is normal. Li Mu has already prepared answers to most of the difficulties in advance.

All they need to do is complete the code and make it run.

Don't underestimate this step of running the code. Code is a very strange thing. Sometimes you input it exactly as it is written in the textbook, but it just won't run.

The most annoying thing is that I still can’t find the reason.

Li Mu doesn't have the time and energy to find bugs, so he feels relieved to leave it to Professor Zhang and others.

……

Then, Li Mu went to the CAD, CAM, CAT, CAE and other software development groups, as well as the Type 03 and Type 01 computer operating systems to check out the situation.

After the development of the second-generation supercomputers began, these research projects were inevitably affected to a certain extent.

Fortunately, it is a slow process and the previous software development teams are still making good progress, but they can't go any faster even if they want to.

Not to mention the Type 03 computer, before the breakthrough in integration, the only thing that could be added was the network, but this alone was not enough to make it a completely new model.

The development progress of the Type 01 computer operating system is quite good, but it is unlikely to succeed in a short period of time, and it will take time to experiment.

……

After walking around and feeling that there were no problems, it was already 12 noon.

After Li Mu finished his lunch in the cafeteria, he called Guan Jianmin and asked him to drive him to the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

As soon as I arrived, I saw Guo Mo had just returned.

The two got out of the car together, smiled at each other at first, then pretended not to be that familiar with each other and walked into the yard.

Only when he could no longer see outside did Li Mu relax and ask, "Leader, what's the situation at the Semiconductor Group?"

"The overall situation is fine, but there are still some minor problems. Let's talk inside." Guo Mo smiled and took him into the office first.

After skillfully brewing tea, he continued, "The development of the laser printer and plotter is almost complete. It is estimated that it will be successful at the beginning of next month!"

"And the semiconductorization of home appliances that you proposed has also been put on the agenda. The technical content of this is not very high, and results should be achieved within two months!"

"Really? So fast!" Li Mu's face showed joy.

He originally thought it would take at least a few months, but he didn't expect the product department to be able to push the progress so fast.

Guo Mo said: "With such a detailed plan like yours, and the help of Comrade Wu Xi from the Semiconductor Research Institute, this progress is already considered slow."

"Let's talk about the problem again, which is the semiconductor lens. We have already implemented measures to adopt automated production and train specialized workers, but in the short term, I'm afraid we won't see any results."

"It doesn't matter if there is no effect in the short term. This is a product that needs time to accumulate. Don't be in a hurry. If you don't make a splash, you will make a big splash." Li Mu said with a smile.
