The Red Era, the Opening University Speech

Chapter 275: Not Just Not Slowly Treating You, This Is Too Enthusiastic
"We received news from Hong Kong that the 1 packs of instant noodles sold in the pilot program were quickly sold out. They also asked us to build five factories first and take whatever we produce."

"What does this mean? It means the market is huge. If we can really occupy the overseas market, we will have to build at least 30 or 40 factories this year!"

With their current productivity, the annual output of each factory is about 160 million bags, which can be increased to 180 million bags after becoming proficient. After using automated production methods, the quality will also be improved.

Taking into account the issue of eating habits, overseas sales may not be very good at the beginning, but it will at least be in the billions.

Watching Leader Qiu's excited explanation, Li Mu finally realized that food processing does require more manpower than industrial product production.

Moreover, huge sales volume can lead to the construction of a large number of factories, create jobs for more workers, and thus drive economic development.

"Then let me congratulate you first, leader!" Li Mu congratulated with a smile.

The First Ministry of Machine Building is not like the Foreign Trade Commission, which completes its mission by earning foreign exchange. Its main purpose is to build factories and promote the development of various industries in the country.

Leader Qiu smiled and said, "Why should I congratulate you? This is all your credit."

"By the way, there is a problem with the group, I just brought it here, you can help me give some suggestions when you are free."

As he spoke, he took out a document from his pocket and handed it to Li Mu.

"Okay, I will definitely get it done as soon as possible and give it to you." Li Mu took the document and said.

Wu Youxiang and Wang Shoujue, who were standing by, saw this and did not ask any further questions.

They knew that Li Mu would never hide anything he should tell them.

……

Afterwards, Leader Qiu continued to praise for a long time before getting up and leaving.

Li Mu said something to Wu Youxiang and Wang Shoujue, and then went to his own office in the institute.

It's not very big, just a few square meters, but it's quiet and has a wide view. When you're tired, you can stand by the window and look at the streets of Kyoto in the distance.

Li Mu sat down behind his desk and immediately took out the document given by Leader Qiu and started to look through it.

There are two issues, the programming of automated instant noodle production and the review of two new games.

The former didn't surprise him.

After all, with the software research capabilities of the semiconductor group, the fact that they have been able to carry out research up to this point according to the solution he gave has already far exceeded his expectations.

However, the last two games surprised him a little.

In addition to "Aircraft Wars" from the game R&D center, the group's product department has also developed a new game called "Huarong Road".

Huarongdao is a traditional puzzle game of the Xia Dynasty. It is called "three wonders in the world of intellectual games" by foreign experts together with imitation and independent diamonds for its many changes and never-boring features.

Li Mu didn't expect that the product department could actually think of making this game, and he couldn't help but look at them with admiration.

But he estimated that the sales of "Huarong Road" would probably be quite bleak.

Not to mention that at this moment, foreign players probably don’t know what Huarong Road is.

Even if I knew, I probably wouldn't buy it.

Don't forget that the struggle between the two camps is not over yet, and both sides are capable of fighting.

"It's a pity. If the relationship between Xia Kingdom and Emperor M eases in a few years, it might sell well." Li Mu shook his head helplessly.

After thinking about it, he took out some letter paper and wrote a proposal to the product department.

He did not deny it completely. He said that "Huarong Road" was a good attempt. Even if it didn't work in OM country, it might find a market if it was sold in the southeast.

The first game that the product department worked hard to develop still needs to be supported.

……

It took Li Mu more than ten minutes to finish writing the proposal.

Then, he turned his attention to the "Aircraft War" report submitted by the game development center.

Fortunately, there is this guarantee, otherwise he would not dare to let the product department develop on its own.

"But both sides really need to strengthen communication. If the people from the game development center can't get through, then let the people from the product department go through." He thought secretly in his heart.

The fact that they were able to produce "Huarong Dao" proves that the people in the product department are not stupid, but they just don't have a deep enough understanding of the game market.

Huang Kun is in charge of the game department, but he has only worked on two or three games with me, and his understanding of many aspects is still insufficient.

After making a plan in his mind, Li Mu quickly adjusted his state and entered into the automated program design of instant noodles.

In fact, the procedure is very simple and he doesn’t really have to do it himself.

You just need to make a rough framework and then hand it over to the people in the institute to complete.

"Wait a minute, that won't work." Li Mu suddenly realized that if he handed it over directly to the institute, the people from the group would still not be able to accumulate experience. He had to leave it to them.

At most, we can send two people over to help so as not to affect the establishment and expansion of the subsequent instant noodle production line.

After sorting out his thoughts, he immediately began to write.

First of all, the various equipment of the automated assembly line - dough mixer, noodle cutter, noodle dehydrator, noodle dryer...

After the required machines are written, they are then all connected in series through an automated production software management system, and then equipped with automatic transport devices to form a flexible production line model.

……

Li Mu was busy until the afternoon. After dinner, he found Wu Youxiang and planned to ask for a day off.

The attitude of actively asking for leave made the latter suspicious.

Seeing this, Li Mu explained, "It's like this. I have to go to Beijing Institute of Technology tomorrow. When I went there before, I promised our dean to give a lecture."

"So that's how it is. Then I'll grant you two more days of leave. Otherwise, what's the difference between taking the leave and not taking it?" Wu Youxiang said immediately.

Li Mu smiled and said, "Alright, then two days will be fine."

Since the research in the institute is not very busy, he can take this opportunity to take a break and also find time to work on his graduation thesis.

……

The next day, early.

After washing up and exercising, Li Mu tidied himself up and changed into some more neat clothes.

Since it was a lecture and the students were all there for him, he must dress formally.

Picking up his briefcase, Li Mu quickly walked downstairs.

Guan Jianmin had been waiting downstairs in his car. Seeing his expression, he said in surprise, "It's rare. Normally, you wear the same clothes for a week. Why did you think of changing clothes today?"

"Usually we are all acquaintances, so it's okay to be casual. But today, the people here are all students, and they take me as their role model, so of course I can't be sloppy." Li Mu walked into the driveway with a smile.

Guan Jianmin couldn't help but smile when he heard this.

Li Mu said that it was not that sloppy, it was just that a piece of clothing could be worn for a long time.

Everyone in this era is like this. A piece of clothing is new for three years, old for three years, and then mended for another three years.

But as a top scientist in Xia Country, it is indeed surprising that Li Mu has been dressing like this since he was a student until now.

……

Chatting along the way.

After driving for half an hour, the car arrived near Beijing Institute of Technology.

Before reaching the gate, Li Mu saw large banners and small colored flags hanging on the street. The area around the gate was filled with people.

His eyesight was pretty good, and he saw at a glance the entire management of Beijing Institute of Technology, as well as several presidents and vice presidents of China Europe International Business School, Beijing University, and USTC.

Behind them, there were reporters holding cameras and waiting eagerly.

Seeing this, if one didn't know, one might think that some leader came to inspect. He was so frightened that he almost asked Guan Jianmin to brake and turn around.

"No, I'm just here to give a lecture. Is it necessary to make such a big scene?" Li Mu held his forehead with his hand.

But it's too late to regret now.

It seemed that the vehicle he was riding in was discovered at the school gate, and a large group of people came rushing towards him.

By the time Guan Jianmin parked the car, a large group of people had already gathered around it.

Li Mu got on the car and looked at the surging crowd. He couldn't help but secretly thought that he had underestimated it just now.

Following the school leaders and reporters were countless students.

At this time, countless people waved small colored flags in their hands and shouted his name at his weekly meetings:

"Welcome, Senior Li!"

"Warmly welcome Senior Li back to school!"

"Senior, thank you for returning to your alma mater to give an academic lecture!"

……

The students greeted him enthusiastically.

Li Mu responded with a smile one by one. After a long time, he was surrounded by the crowd and walked into the school with Qian Shuyan and others.

As they walked, he couldn't help but ask Qian Shuyan, "Dean, there's no need to make it so big. Our conference room can't hold so many people!"

"This is not my fault. Everyone heard that you were going to give a lecture at Beijing Institute of Technology, so they came on their own. Except for a few principals, I didn't invite anyone." Qian Shuyan said with a smile.

He really didn't intend to make it so big.

But unexpectedly, after the news that Li Mu was going to give a lecture at Beijing Institute of Technology spread, editors-in-chief and reporters from major newspapers immediately came to him.

Not to mention the students, there are people from other schools who come to us every few days, hoping to apply to attend this lecture.

So much so that in the end, nearly three thousand people attended the lecture.

Yes, that’s right, three thousand people.

And if Beijing Institute of Technology had not issued an emergency document imposing restrictions, Qian Shuyan estimated that there would be even more people.

……

When Li Mu entered the school, he was indeed shocked by the number of people inside.

At first glance, it was full of people. The number of students from other schools combined was probably more than that of our school.

Looking at so many people, even though he was prepared, he still couldn't help but feel a little scalp-tingling.

"How is it? The occasion is grand enough. I hope I don't treat you, a great scientist, badly?" Qian Shuyan saw him stunned for a moment and couldn't help but say.

Li Mu smiled bitterly and said, "It's more than just not being rude, this is too enthusiastic!"

"Then you have to come up with something real today, so that we don't make this trip in vain!" Qian Shuyan laughed.

Leaders from other schools also started laughing.

But there was more envy in the laughter.

Beijing Institute of Technology is really lucky to have produced a genius like Li Mu. Unless there are any accidents, it will undoubtedly be one of the top two universities in science and engineering in the future.

Even the China Europe International Business School, which has a strong faculty and abundant talents, may not be able to easily surpass it.

……

Chat for a while.

Li Mu quickly followed Qian Shuyan and others to the school playground.

Only here can accommodate nearly three thousand students coming to attend the lecture.

Standing on the stage, Li Mu looked at the crowd of people below and couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

The host picked up the microphone and first introduced the leaders of each school who were attending the lecture. Then he introduced them solemnly in a full and vigorous voice:

"Next, let us invite the winner of the first prize of the National Highest Science and Technology Progress Award, the leader of Xia Country's young scientists, the king of inventions, and an outstanding graduate of Beijing Institute of Technology, Consultant Li Mu!"

As soon as he finished speaking, thunderous applause broke out from the audience.

More than ten thousand people clapped their hands vigorously at the same time, and the earth-shaking sound could be heard within a radius of ten miles.

Li Mu took a deep breath, took the microphone, and slowly stood up amidst eyes filled with admiration, respect, or fanaticism.

Seeing this scene, the students below held their breath, fearing that they would not be able to hear what he said next because of the noise.

For a moment, the entire playground was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop, with only the occasional sound of reporters taking pictures.

He started by introducing himself: "Hello, students. I am Li Mu."

The voice spread throughout the playground through the loudspeaker. This ordinary sentence brought about warm applause from the audience again.

Li Mu raised his hand, and the voice instantly receded like the ebbing tide, disappearing without a trace.

Even Qian Shuyan and others could not help but sigh at his appeal among students at this moment.

Looking at the eyes cast towards him from the audience, Li Mu said in a relaxed and cheerful tone: "Thank you for the applause. To be honest, I am a little flattered that so many people came to listen to this lecture!"

This sentence caused a burst of laughter from the audience.

Everyone knew he was being modest.

I don’t know how many students want to attend this lecture now, but they can’t squeeze in.

"But since everyone is here, just listen to me and let's discuss together how software engineering should develop." Li Mu continued.

Then, he began to talk at length about what software engineering is, what its uses are, and how much it can promote the development of the country.

Some of these contents he had written about in previous issues of Software Engineering magazine, but some had not yet.

In particular, he elaborated on the role of software engineering in national development, asserting:
"Software engineering will surely have a huge impact on the economic, cultural, and military development of the entire society in the future scientific field!"

"To put it bluntly, whichever country first masters software engineering will have an advantage in future struggles between nations!"

"Our country has already taken the lead in this area, but it is far from enough. We need to develop it more vigorously so that we can leverage the power of software engineering to promote the development of other scientific fields..."

……

Once he got into the mood, his speech wasn't lively or interesting.

However, the entire playground was silent. Every student, even the teacher, was holding a note, writing down every word he said.

The eyes looking at him became more and more passionate.

After he finished his last sentence, the whole audience burst into applause!
