The Red Era, the Opening University Speech

Chapter 283: Didn’t you make any mistakes?

Li Mu did not continue to give ideas blindly.

Hearing this, the people below looked at each other and hesitated for a moment.

Finally, a younger researcher spoke up: "Optimizing the circuit design should improve their synchronization, right?"

"Yes, it's feasible. What else?" Li Mu nodded affirmatively.

Seeing that the method proposed by the young researcher was recognized, the others also spoke up: "If we use a high-precision clock source to reduce the waiting time for data transmission, it should also be able to improve synchronization."

"It is also possible to have the memory and the CPU share a clock cycle and work synchronously at the same speed."

……

Everyone gave their suggestions.

Obviously, they did have ideas, but they just always felt that what Li Mu gave was better.

Li Mu picked up a pen and wrote down everyone's opinions one by one, and then sorted them out based on the information in his mind.

After everyone stopped, an opinion was written on how to solve the synchronization problem of copper tape random access memory data transmission.

He handed the notes to Wang Shoujue beside him and said:

"Everyone, take a look. This is what I just wrote down."

"It's not that we don't have ideas, we're just worried about making mistakes."

"But when doing scientific experiments, it's inevitable to make mistakes. Making mistakes is the only way to make progress, right?"

His words made everyone nod involuntarily.

While everyone was still reacting, Li Mu continued, "Okay, you guys look at me while I talk, and then we can discuss the power consumption issue..."

You have to say it quickly.

What if everyone responds, "Advisor Li, you haven't made any mistakes?"

There's no way to respond to this.

You can't bring up the mistakes he made in his research on magnetohydrodynamic thrusters.

Can we say that if we don't mention it for now, it can't be considered as a mistake, it's just a lack of consideration. Strictly speaking, if we really do this, it will become Versailles!
"How about I dig a hole for myself and jump into it?" Li Mu thought to himself after he finished talking about the power consumption issue.

Fortunately, the lively discussion that followed dispelled his idea.

……

A storage system development team was formed.

Li Mu thought about it and decided to mention his idea to Wang Shoujue.

After hearing this, the latter trembled in his hand and almost dropped the enamel teacup on the ground. He said hurriedly: "Don't even think about it. Get rid of this idea from your head!"

"why?"

"It would be more beneficial to the research if everyone stopped waiting for my opinion," Li Mu said with some confusion.

Professor Wang glanced at him, sighed deeply, and said, "Do you really not know or are you pretending not to know how much influence you have in the country right now?"

“How many young people look up to you as a role model and regard you as a mentor in life.”

"I know you're worried that we will lose our ability to think and research independently because of you, but we have many ways to solve it. There's no need to use this self-degrading method. No one will be happy if they know about it."

These words made Li Mu suddenly wake up.

"As expected of Director Wang, he looks at problems in a long-term and comprehensive way than a young man like me." He gave a thumbs up.

Wang Shoujue smiled slightly after listening to this, and then asked suspiciously: "You usually consider all aspects of your research very carefully, so why can't you understand this question? Are you going to use this question to set a trap for me?"

To be honest, he sometimes felt frustrated when doing research with Li Mu.

"Aha, how is that possible? Come on, let's go to the processor development group." Li Mu laughed and walked out quickly.

Seeing this, Wang Shoujue shook his head in amusement and followed.

……

The two then went to the processor development group and the software and algorithm optimization group to check the progress.

After spending an entire afternoon, Li Mu finally solved most of the problems encountered in the development of the second-generation supercomputer in the past few days.

But it's not over yet.

During dinner, he took his lunch box and found Wu Xi, the head of the color LCD TV development team, to ask him about the situation there.

With the technological content of color LCD TVs, they can be used as the flagship product of the semiconductor industry and create huge profits.

Therefore, it must be taken seriously.

"Let's talk about our research these days while we eat." Li Mu put down the pile of lunch boxes in his hands and said to Wu Xi, who suddenly stood up from his seat.

The latter then sat down and reported:
"Advisor Li, we have made good progress these days according to your requirements."

"The research on power boards and high-voltage boards has entered the preliminary testing stage."

"But we also encountered some problems. First of all, the driver board has a high circuit complexity, power supply and voltage conversion, signal processing, and backlight driver complexity..."

Although there was no written report, Wu Xi still knew everything about it.

Apparently, these questions had been bothering him for many days.

After listening to this, Li Mu said:
"Circuit problems mainly require efforts in layout design. In addition, standard screwdrivers should be used during the production process to avoid excessive torque that damages the circuit board."

"Also, soldering should be done with the power off, and the soldering time should be shortened as much as possible to prevent overheating of the circuit board."

"The power supply and voltage conversion are complicated because the driver board needs to provide multiple voltages for the LCD screen and other components. So we can consider designing a 'multimeter voltage regulator chip' to stabilize the input and output voltages..."

……

When it comes to research on color LCD televisions, speed must still be the main focus.

But even so, he still patiently analyzed to Wu Xi the causes of the problem and how to solve it.

After solving the problems encountered in the development of the driver board and logic board one by one.

Li Mu looked at Wu Xi, who was listening so intently that he forgot to eat, and said:
"Eat quickly, or it will get cold."

"I also need to go to the labs for software development and computer development."

"If you still don't understand something later, come and see me again."

After saying this, he stood up and left without waiting for Wu Xi to reply.

After washing the lunch box in the sink next to the canteen, I quickly returned it to the lady who served the food.

Without even taking a breath, he continued to work.

……

Li Mu was busy until about 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, and finally solved the backlog of problems in the institute during the four days he was away.

I dragged my tired body back home.

After turning on the lights in the living room, the orange light instantly filled the entire room.

I glanced towards the bedroom. The door was half-open and the light was still on inside.

He walked to the door and pushed it open.

With the desk lamp on, Wang Ya was holding a book called "Computer Organization and Design: Hardware/Software Interface" in her hand, leaning her head against the bed, sleeping soundly. "You're still working so hard!" Li Mu walked up to her, took the book from her hand, then picked her up and carefully put her down on the bed.

The force was controlled very precisely throughout the process and did not wake Wang Ya.

Of course, it could also be that she slept too deeply.

After gently kissing his hardworking and ambitious wife on the smooth forehead, Li Mu turned off the desk lamp and walked out of the bedroom.

He was not that sleepy yet and was ready to continue working for a while.

……

Coming to the study, I first put the final touches on the unfinished design of the Xuanniao-1 helicopter.

After studying at the Aviation Academy these days, Li Mu has gained an in-depth understanding of Xia Country’s current helicopter manufacturing process and technology level.

Within a few days, he would be able to complete a design that met Xia Guo's current production level, rather than simply copying the UH-01 Black Hawk helicopter design.

In addition, the issue of carbon fiber industrialization must also be put on the agenda.

Being able to prepare and being able to produce and form a complete production line are two completely different stages.

There is also research on his doctoral thesis - surface-to-air D bomb.

Originally, Li Mu had no better ideas about the body structure and power device of the D bomb except for the warhead.

But after reading a lot of top-secret information in the archives of the Aviation Institute in the past few days, he found a direction for innovation in the power device - the solid-fuel D bomb.

Before the early 60s, the mainstream power plant technology for missiles was basically based on liquid fuel missiles.

Although the solid-fuel D bomb has developed, it is not yet fully mature.

Both have their advantages, but as far as D-bombs are concerned, solid fuel is definitely the best choice.

While eliminating the shortcomings of liquid fuel such as flammability, explosiveness, toxicity and corrosiveness, solid fuel also has the advantages of simple structure, small size, easy maintenance and faster combat response.

Of course, there is a more important reason: solid fuel has lower initial cost!
Although the subsequent maintenance cost is high, it is nothing compared to the value it creates.

If we can produce a batch before the fight against India and show it to the whole world, we can make back all the costs.

You know, the price of military weapons has never been low.

Thinking of this, Li Mu immediately opened the chat page.

Find the WIFI of the Staffordshire City Library and click to connect.

"Solid fuel, we must have it!" Li Mu muttered to himself as he entered the keyword search for solid fuel.

Askew was staying in Stratford, and happened to find a laboratory that was researching solid fuels, with the probability of winning the lottery.

So he could only try his luck in the library.

There is definitely no core information, but there is a lot of common content in later generations.

Looking at it now, it might be a secret among secrets.

Soon, Li Mu found a paper written by a professor at a certain university in M ​​Empire on solid fuel research, as well as dozens of theoretical works.

"I still don't believe that I can't figure it out on my own." Li Mu looked at the information and smiled crookedly.

With this information, he might be able to make solid fuel.

And don't forget, he's not alone.

Behind him is the Aviation Academy and the entire Xia Kingdom!
The next day, early.

After working hard all night, Li Mu got up yawning.

After washing up and exercising, I went to the Semiconductor Research Institute.

First go to the cafeteria to fill your stomach, then walk slowly towards the laboratory building.

However, today Li Mu did not go directly to the laboratory, but came to his own office, where he drank tea and organized his next research ideas.

After five consecutive days of high-intensity work, I was exhausted both physically and mentally.

Anyway, as long as he is in the station, you can still come to him if you have any problems.

Not long after he sat down, a figure appeared at the door of his office.

Li Mu looked up and said with a smile, "Director Wu, why are you here?"

"There's news from above that they agree to export Type 01 computers overseas!" Wu Youxiang walked into the office and said.

This news surprised Li Mu greatly.

After waiting for so many days, there is finally a result.

He quickly asked: "More specifically, how to export and what is the price?"

"From the tone of President Guo, we should try selling some to big brother first. If they think there is no problem, the subsequent technology and production lines will be exported together." Wu Youxiang said.

Li Mu was stunned for a moment, a little confused: "Even the production line is exported, are they exchanging things with Big Brother?"

The importance of the production line is self-evident.

The fact that they were willing to sell it obviously meant that Big Brother had offered them a price they couldn't refuse.

"Dean Guo didn't say it explicitly, but it must be all good stuff." Wu Youxiang said with a smile, "And there is also good news. Big Brother said that he would send a team of exchange students to learn J language and computer software development and application."

When he said this, his eyes were full of joy.

In a sense, the importance of this matter is even greater than Xiaguo's export of Type 01 computers to Big Brother.

Li Mu was also shocked after hearing this.

Although he always joked that the half-dead Big Brother was the real good Big Brother, this was only true for later generations.

It is undoubtedly a good thing for the development of Xia State that the big brother can ease the relationship now.

Thinking of this, Li Mu couldn't help but show excitement on his face.

After Wu Youxiang left, he sat back in his seat.

It took me a while to calm down.

"It's indeed a good thing, but relying solely on the lead in semiconductors and computers is probably far from enough for Big Brother to continue to increase his weight." Li Mu thought secretly.

He has no experience with politics and will not interfere.

What he could do was to use the information on the chat page in his hand to create enough bargaining chips for the negotiations between Xia Country, Big Brother, and even Emperor M.

Taking a deep breath, Li Mu turned his attention back to his research.

The solid fuel used in missiles is called solid propellant, which is a special type of specific solid fuel used in rocket and missile engines.

Its main ingredients include nitrocellulose, nitroglycerin, ammonium perchlorate, liquid oxidant, etc.

According to the composition and characteristics, it can also be divided into double-base propellants, composite propellants, modified double-base propellants and liquid propellants.

He soon turned his attention to double-base propellants and modified double-base propellants.

The former was invented earlier and is widely used in rocket engine propellants.

After being upgraded in the 50s, it gradually evolved into the latter, and in the 70s, it developed a terminal hydroxyl polybutadiene composite propellant with excellent energy and mechanical properties.

Their development has laid a solid foundation for solid rocket engines.
