The Red Era, the Opening University Speech

Chapter 273 You can’t blame me. I didn’t force you.

In this day and age, there is no better reward than this.

Upon hearing this, Wu Xi, Professor Kuang and Professor Lei's eyes were filled with smiles, and the other young researchers jumped up with joy.

Afterwards, everyone went to the cafeteria to have a "big meal" while chatting happily.

……

In the afternoon, Li Mu returned to the laboratory to continue the development of the second-generation supercomputer.

However, there were basically no major problems that needed to be solved by the various groups. After walking around and finding that there were no problems, he quickly ran to the large conference room, found a corner, and opened the chat page.

When he was making electronic watch screens before, he found that the size was not enough for making color LCD TVs, so he stopped collecting information in this area.

When he asked everyone to go back in the morning, he was not only asking them to think carefully, but he himself also had to think carefully.

I checked the download progress of the UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter - 57G/356G.
Li Mu reluctantly disconnected the WIFI first, then found several internationally renowned TV brands and entered their databases to look for technical information.

Soon, he found Sanxing's branch in M ​​Emperor.

Although it is only a branch and the technical information is not the most advanced, it is just sufficient for current use.

And to facilitate maintenance, there are also quite a few drawings, which greatly facilitated his research.

Li Mu's attention first fell on Sanxing's first true color LCD TV - the Bordeaux series LCD TV.

Then he shook his head again. It was hard to say whether the technology developed in 2006 could be realized now.

Sanxing started producing black-and-white televisions in 70, color televisions in 77, and research and development of TFT-LCD technology in 84. The flat-panel laser display launched in 96 laid the foundation for the birth of color LCD televisions.

Such a long period of accumulation has allowed them to occupy a huge share of the color LCD TV market and have an important position in the United States and the world.

"But now, all of this is mine." Li Mu smiled slightly and clicked on the detailed information of the Bordeaux series LCD TV.

Those who aim high will achieve the middle. No matter whether it can be achieved or not, the goal must be set high.

Let’s first take a look at the information of the first Bordeaux series LCD TV - Bordeaux LCD TV.

在画质上，其采用了当时先进的TFT电视面板技术，具有1440x900的分辨率、8ms急速响应时间和600:1对比度。

It is also equipped with a DNle digital natural image engine, which can significantly reduce digital latency, enhance the texture and depth of the image, and ensure that the contrast of the image is more intense.

In terms of sound quality, the DACS hidden dual-channel system is used, which can automatically simulate two separate sounds for each speaker to enhance the transparency of the sound.

If it could be reproduced exactly one-to-one, Li Mu estimated that even if it was sold for tens of thousands of dollars, there would be rich people who would pay for it.

"But a one-to-one replica is definitely not realistic. We still have to sew it up." He touched his chin, looking at the row of technical names above, knowing that the possibility of doing it was slim.

Moreover, the R&D costs are too high. It would be better to simply improve the picture quality, reduce weight, lower costs and improve sound quality. Doing these will be enough to beat all the giant companies in the current TV market.

The later ones can be upgraded slowly generation by generation!
It’s all for export anyway! We can also harvest more leeks!

……

After spending an entire afternoon, Li Mu basically determined the architecture of the color LCD TV.

However, he was not in a hurry to give the written plan to Wu Xi and others. Instead, he went to the Chinese Academy of Sciences to ask for people before it got dark.

Guo Mo was eating in the cafeteria of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Li Mu sat down in front of him with a bunch of lunch boxes, and said while eating:

"Leader, our institute is planning to make a color LCD TV, and we need some experts in materials science and optics. Can you coordinate with a few?"

"Of course there is no problem with coordination, but you can't let people go after the coordination." Guo Mo was stunned at first, then he smiled and joked.

Li Mu got anxious on the spot and immediately defended himself:
"Fraudulent accusation, this is pure false accusation, when did I say I would not let him go!"

“It’s all those old experts and professors who volunteered to stay here!”

"And those young people, they also came to me one by one and took the initiative to stay in the Semiconductor Research Institute. I didn't agree and they got angry with me!"

"What can I do? I'm a victim too!"

As God is my witness, he has never forced anyone to stay.

"You didn't say it actively, but with your current status and reputation, there are many people who want to follow you in research. And I heard that you communicate with them in a 'courteous and humble' manner every day, and tell them 'I hope we can have the opportunity to research together in the future'. How can they leave after hearing this?" Guo Mo said with a smile.

The famous Li Mu now has a large group of fans in the academic world, and is a goal and role model that students in every university are eager to emulate.

His invitation is like Liu Bei holding your hand and telling you that he wants to revive the Han Dynasty with you. It is impossible to refuse.

"Well, you can't blame me. I didn't force you anyway." Li Mu coughed lightly and said.

Guo Mo smiled but said nothing.

……

Joking aside, after dinner, Guo Mo still agreed to go and coordinate with the people from the materials research department.

After getting a satisfactory answer, Li Mu hummed a tune and left the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

……

Go home.

Lying on the sofa, he stretched out his body.

After a short rest, Li Mu continued to go to the study to draw the unfinished design drawings of Xuanniao-1.

This kind of life is a bit tiring every day, but it is very fulfilling.

In addition, the thought of the helicopters he had developed being able to bombard the Indians over their heads and make them cry for their parents filled him with energy.

Compared with those soldiers who defended their country with their lives, this little suffering is nothing.

If the military equipment he develops is more powerful, then the soldiers will suffer fewer casualties!
……

The next day, early.

Li Mu came to the Semiconductor Research Institute and happened to meet Wang Shoujue who had just started working.

The two greeted each other, went to the cafeteria to have breakfast together, and then came to the LCD technology... No, it should now be called the color TV LCD TV development group.

Enter the laboratory.

Not long after, Professor Kuang, Professor Lei, and several young researchers came over after finishing their breakfast.

Seeing Li Mu, the two professors couldn't help but sigh: "How else can you win the award? Consultant Li, your enthusiasm for research is really admirable!"

"While you are young, work hard while you have the energy. Isn't that how we all got through this?" Li Mu said with a smile.

Everyone chatted for a while, and soon came to the small meeting room next to the laboratory to start the discussion.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Li Mu thought for a moment and said:
"Then let me start with something to get you started. After I went back yesterday, I did some research on the design of color LCD TVs and temporarily determined its basic structure: power board, high-voltage board, driver board, and logic board."

"The power board is responsible for providing a stable voltage to power the other parts of the TV; the high-voltage board is mainly used to light up the screen and provide the required voltage; the driver board processes the video signal and converts it into information that the LCD screen can recognize; the logic board further processes the signal from the driver board to ensure that it is correctly recognized and displayed."

"In addition, there are backlight modules, LCD panels, and some other electronic components..."

He first established the framework of the entire research to give everyone a direction.

"Advisor Li, could you please explain the entire driver board and logic board in detail? Is there any connection between this and the signal channel scanning circuit of the previous black and white TV?" Professor Kuang asked. Others also showed puzzled eyes.

The main structure of black-and-white televisions in the 60s was signal channel, scanning circuit and power supply, among which the signal channel was the most core part.

They also found some information about foreign color televisions, but from a structural point of view, there were many discrepancies between them and what Li Mu said.

Seeing this, Li Mu smiled and explained:
"It's just a new name, the functions are mostly the same."

"The driver board is equivalent to the 'brain' of the LCD screen, responsible for processing and transmitting patterns, including RGB data signals, clock patterns and control signals, etc."

"But there is a difficulty that we need to overcome, and that is the data interface technology used for image data acquisition and display..."

He carefully answered everyone's questions.

In addition to the LVDS used for the LCD screen signal receiving port, there are also ADC adapter chips used as data output ports, etc.

After he finished speaking, everyone took a while to digest the answer before continuing to ask questions.

Li Mu continued to answer them one by one.

The signal technology of color TV has developed rapidly since the 90s, and digital signal technology has emerged, which is something unfamiliar to everyone.

However, the transmission method of digital signals can indeed significantly improve the picture quality and stability, making the TV more high-definition.

Therefore, they must develop digital signal technology.

Of course, it is not a matter of just doing it blindly. Let everyone study it first. If it succeeds, continue. If not, turn around and study the current technology. Anyway, we have the foundation of LCD screens, so we can definitely make money, the only difference is how much.

……

The discussion lasted for more than an hour, with most of the time people were asking questions and Li Mu was answering them.

When he felt that it was almost time, he stretched out his hand to signal everyone to stop for a moment and said:
"We've said so much, that's about it, let's start researching first, and then continue discussing if there are any problems."

"Let's assign tasks. Professor Kuang and Professor Lei, you will be responsible for the research of the power board and the high-voltage board. As for the driver board and the logic board, let Wu Xi be in charge."

"Experts and professors from the Materials Research Institute will come to support us later. You can allocate manpower when the time comes. What do you think?"

No matter how much you say, it’s better to just work hard.

"Consultant Li has made a very good arrangement. We will all listen to you." Professor Kuang, Professor Lei and Wu Xi looked at each other and said happily.

They were originally worried that the few people in the group could not support the development project of color LCD TVs, but they didn't expect that Li Mu had already thought of it.

Seeing that no one had any objection, Li Mu nodded slightly.

Without continuing to chat, he quickly left and went to the second-generation supercomputer project team to start his own research work.

……

I was busy until noon.

After finishing his meal, Li Mu did not rush back to the laboratory, but went to the conference room.

He took out a piece of draft paper from his briefcase and started drawing the design of the Xuanniao-1 helicopter.

While drawing, he suddenly moved his ears and realized that someone had walked into the meeting room.

I subconsciously covered the manuscript paper and looked up. It was Wu Youxiang.

"Director, do you have something to talk to me about?" Li Mu asked.

Wu Youxiang waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay. I just saw the door was half open, so I came in to take a look. I didn't expect it was you inside."

"It's my fault. For such a long time, I didn't think of setting up an office for you so that you can have a place to rest when you are not busy."

"No need to go through so much trouble. It's a nice place here, big and quiet." Li Mu said quickly.

He used to run to the laboratory after dinner and had never thought about this problem.

Wu Youxiang said, "No, we still need one. In this way, I will have someone clean up the place in the afternoon, and you will have a place to rest in the evening."

"What you're researching is top secret. How can you just find a random place to study it? Isn't that right?"

"Well... okay, then I'll trouble you, Director." Li Mu looked at the manuscript paper on the table, thinking that it seemed really inconvenient, so he nodded and agreed.

Seeing that he agreed, Wu Youxiang smiled and said, "That's right. It's just an office. You donated two laboratory buildings to our institute. Don't just say one. Ten will do."

"That doesn't require so much." Li Mu blushed slightly.

The two chatted for a while, and Wu Youxiang left quickly in order not to disturb his research.

……

Li Mu continued drawing.

I painted until 1:, then got up on time and returned to the laboratory to continue my experimental work.

The situation of the four project teams is currently relatively stable.

It's a state where you can't rush and can only move forward slowly.

However, the software research group did give Li Mu a small surprise. The research on CAD was progressing well, and most of the framework had been completed.

Of course it cannot be compared with later generations, but at present, it is top computer software.

The young people in charge of the project did not dare to report the good news to him, but went to find Wu Youxiang first, saying that it was not completely successful and they could not disturb him.

In Wu Youhao's office, Li Mu patted them on the shoulders and encouraged them, "You only have so few people, and you can achieve such results, which is already very good."

"Keep going, I'm waiting for the day when you truly succeed."

"If you don't mind, I'll personally host a celebration party for you!"

"Don't mind, don't mind, Consultant Li, we will keep working hard." After hearing this, the young people were very excited, even happier than when they were praised by the two directors just now.

Li Mu's title as the national "idol" is not just an exaggeration. Just two words from him made them feel so excited that they couldn't wait to go back and develop CAD immediately.

Wu Youxiang, who was standing by, was a little amused and helpless when he heard this. Isn't this his job?

……

After praising the young men in various ways, Li Mu sent them out.

come back to the office.

Wu Youxiang looked at him and couldn't help but teasing him, "Oh, these young people are so ignorant. How could they forget a great contributor like you?"

"Old Wang, come on, we can't let the hero sweat and cry, give him the praise."

"This joke is not funny!" Li Mu frowned.

"Chief, I have something else to do, so I'm leaving first." Feeling that something was not right, he simply ran away on the spot. As he walked, he secretly thought that young people are easy to fool, and they can be praised to the point of being incomprehensible with just a few words.

Seeing him running away in a hurry, Wu Youxiang and Wang Shoujue couldn't help but laugh.
