The Red Era, the Opening University Speech

Chapter 293: 20 Yuan for Industrial Equipment Worth Ten Million Yuan
Everyone thought that this was true, so they all looked at Li Mu.

What functions are there can be explained in just a few sentences.

But only the designer knows how to use it.

Li Mu did not refuse. He first stepped forward to check the status of the three softwares, and then said:

"Let's talk about CAM first. This is computer-aided manufacturing software that can use electronic digital computers to control machine tools and equipment through various numerical values ​​in the mechanical manufacturing industry to automatically complete the manufacturing processes such as processing, assembly, testing and assurance of discrete products."

“It can improve production efficiency and improve part quality, and plays an important role in strengthening the integration of design and manufacturing.”

"For example, if we design a device using CAD, we can input the instructions into the CAM-controlled manufacturing machine tool and start manufacturing directly, which greatly shortens the intermediate process..."

……

He explained in detail the different applications of the three software: CAM, CAT and CAE.

CAT, or computer-assisted translation, can complete translation work with high quality, efficiency and ease, converting a large amount of foreign language documents to facilitate their reading and learning.

Of course, this is just the basic functionality.

Technologies such as document preprocessing, garbled code processing and optical character recognition can also be developed later.

As for CAE, it is the most complex and important software among the four.

Li Mu introduced it in detail and said:
"Computer-aided engineering is the use of computers to solve and analyze the structural mechanical properties of engineering and products, optimize structural performance, and organically organize all aspects of the project."

“The key is to integrate relevant information so that it is generated and exists throughout the entire life cycle of the project.”

"It can play a wide range of roles in aerospace, electronics, and civil engineering, improving the efficiency and quality of engineering design, shortening product development time, and reducing development costs, etc."

After they finished speaking, warm applause broke out in the laboratory.

Everyone applauded and praised: "Advisor Li said it well. He not only summarized the results of our research, but also proposed a new direction for our future research and development!"

"It's just a bold idea. It's hard to say whether it will work or not. You can bring forward any ideas you have and we can discuss them together." Li Mu said with a smile.

The software design plan he gave was definitely not the complete version.

Otherwise, let alone the success of the research, we may not even understand the content at this moment.

The designs and functions that were achieved in later generations now seem almost like fantasy and impossible to achieve.

After Li Mu finished his explanation.

Everyone simply held a discussion meeting on the spot to discuss the subsequent development of the three software.

And we decided to develop a dedicated server like we did with CAD.

Wu Youxiang quickly went to the Chinese Academy of Sciences with the news and reported the results.

Hearing this news, Guo Mo was also very happy and exclaimed: "With these four software, the speed of our country's industrial development can be greatly improved!"

After saying that, he immediately called and told Leader Qiu the good news.

"That's great!" After hearing this, Leader Qiu couldn't help but be overjoyed and said, "It just so happens that the Semiconductor Group still has some big precision issues in the development of lenses."

"With this CAM computer-aided manufacturing, all problems will hopefully be solved!"

"Not only that, I think many of our machines and equipment can be upgraded through these software!" Guo Mo laughed.

……

at the same time.

At the Semiconductor Research Institute, after two hours of discussion.

Under Li Mu's intentional guidance.

The three research and development groups, CAM, CAT and CAE, have respectively established the next research and development directions.

He asked for another copy of CAM data and asked Professor Zhang to take people to the Institute of Aeronautics and help them familiarize themselves with its use.

With this, the development of 3+2 axis CNC milling machines will be more certain.

Finish these.

He thought about it and decided to take a look at the research progress on integrated circuits.

Since the success of distributed projection lithography, research on integrated circuits has basically been carried out by the other party, and breakthroughs have slowed down.

The last time he asked, the integration level had only reached the 7 mark.

Of course, this is not because Huang Xinhua’s research is ineffective.

But there is no way to break through.

"The basic conditions are still insufficient!" Li Mu sighed slightly.

If Emperor M had these conditions, he would probably have at least 10+ by now.

Then he found Huang Xinhua.

However, what surprised him was that the latter had also achieved certain results recently - the integrated circuit had broken through to 8.

Although it does not exceed 10w, it is still not a very large-scale integrated circuit.

But it can also be said to be a step closer.

……

Laboratory entrance.

Li Mu was chatting with Huang Xinhua, and he intentionally or unintentionally revealed to him some collaborative issues in hardware design and software design of integrated circuits.

Suddenly, a figure walked over from the corridor.

It was Wu Youxiang who returned from the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

He had just arrived at the office when a phone call came.

At this moment, he hurried over to deliver the message, and before he could even catch his breath, he said quickly: "Leader Qiu asked you to go to the First Ministry of Machine Building."

"Did they tell you what the matter was when you went to the First Ministry of Machine Building?" Li Mu was a little confused.

As the head of the semiconductor group, Leader Qiu usually communicates through Guo Mo and tries his best to avoid direct contact with him.

He suddenly came to me at this time, I think it must be something serious.

Wu Youxiang said: "I don't know, but it sounds very urgent."

"Okay, I'll go there right away." Li Mu didn't hesitate. He would know when he got there.

Immediately, he said goodbye to Huang Xinhua, went downstairs and rode his bicycle to the First Ministry of Machine Building.

……

to the place.

Before Li Mu entered, he saw several cars parked at the door.

"What day is it? Why are they all here?" Li Mu took a quick glance and recognized that three of the cars belonged to Guo Mo, He Baiyi and Dong Huaxing.

Out of curiosity, he walked into the gate of the First Ministry of Machine Building.

We arrived at the door of Leader Qiu's office without any obstruction.

Before he knocked on the door, he heard voices talking inside.

Leader Qiu laughed and said, "Of course you can sell it, but we need to negotiate the price carefully, and we have to exchange it for good things."

"Don't worry, the production will definitely keep up. If there is enough funding, it will only take two years for all research institutes, universities, and even factories across the country to use computers."

"That's great. Then our country's industry will usher in a great development!" Guo Mo said with a smile.

After listening to a few words, Li Mu raised his hand and knocked on the door.

Hearing the voice, everyone came back to their senses from the happy atmosphere. Seeing him, Leader Qiu immediately stood up, pulled him to sit on the sofa, and made tea for him.

"Hello, leaders. Who is this?" Li Mu glanced at everyone in the room, including Leader Qiu, Guo Mo, He Baiyi, and Dong Huaxing.

He knew all four of them, but among them there was a strange man in his 50s, panting and wearing a Zhongshan suit.

Leader Qiu said, "Let me introduce you to this person. This is Comrade Qiao Guanghua from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs."

"He came here specifically to see you this time. He wants to learn from you."

"Hello, leader!" Li Mu greeted immediately after hearing this.

He didn't recognize the person when he saw him, but he understood the name when he heard it.

Qiao Guanghua is a celebrity who served as the leader of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs after Zhou, Chen and Ji.

The other party's smile at the United Nations General Assembly in 71 when Xiaguo restored its legitimate seat in the United Nations was a historic moment.

Looking at Li Mu's pressure, Qiao Guanghua smiled and said, "Oh, Comrade Li Mu, have you heard of me?"

"I saw your name in the newspaper. I wonder why you are looking for me?" Li Mu smiled and sighed that he was worthy of working in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. His ability to observe people's words and expressions was very strong.

Qiao Guanghua did not delve into it and said, "It's not a big deal. I just wanted to ask you about your opinion on the exchange students sent by Big Brother."

"We thought it would take some time for them to come, but we didn't expect them to come so quickly."

"They have already arrived at the State Guesthouse for a few days, and they keep asking for academic exchanges right away, which is giving us a headache!"

"That's right. We have just started our own software engineering major. How should we teach them?" He Baiyi on the side also spoke up.

The purpose of Big Brother sending these people here is obvious, they are after software engineering technology.

But they have just started out. If we let them join now, and the other side copies them, wouldn't that be a huge loss?

Even if cutting-edge technology cannot be learned in a short period of time, who knows whether Big Brother can catch up by relying on its advantages in software engineering.

After all, in terms of comprehensive national strength, Xia Kingdom is far inferior to its big brother.

"I don't think you need to worry. Just give it to them generously." Li Mu smiled and said, "Even if there is a genius who can master software engineering in a short period of time, they lack the corresponding hardware facilities."

"We are ahead in technology in this area, and they won't be able to catch up in one or two years."

"See, I told you, Old Joe, there's no need to worry. By the time Big Brother catches up, we'll have already run ahead again." Guo Mo, who was sitting next to him, interrupted.

Qiao Guanghua smiled and said:
"I still have to ask in person to feel at ease. After all, this is a major issue related to the development of our country."

"By the way, there's one more thing."

"They want to contact you, Li Mu. Do you want to go?"

"Contact me?" Li Mu was stunned for a moment, then reacted.

Perhaps it was because he was the founder of the J language and the pioneer of software engineering that he attracted the attention of Big Brother.

He did not answer in a hurry, but glanced at Guo Mo and others around him and said, "What do the leaders mean? Should I go?"

"It doesn't matter whether you should or shouldn't go. If you don't want to go, you don't have to go." Qiao Guanghua smiled and said, "If you don't go, it will further solidify your public identity."

He didn't know what other achievements Li Mu had made besides what was reported in the newspapers.

But he knew that the person who could have the heads of several departments sitting here was definitely not an ordinary person.

Li Mu pondered for a moment and said, "If that's the case, I'll go and contact them when I have time. Have they decided which school they want to exchange at?"

"At your alma mater, Beijing Institute of Technology." said Qiao Guanghua.

This result was not beyond Li Mu's expectations.

After all, his background is very easy to investigate, and this information will not be deliberately concealed, otherwise it will arouse suspicion.

Seeing that Li Mu had no objection, Qiao Guanghua nodded with satisfaction and said no more.

Leader Qiu then asked about the research progress of the Type 03 computer.

He said helplessly:

"I don't know where Big Brother got the news from, but he knew we already had the Model 02 computer, and he offered a price that really tempted them."

"But didn't you say before that we can only sell the computers that are being replaced or obsolete?"

"Do you think we can complete the development of the Type 3 computer within three months?"

After finishing speaking, Leader Qiu looked at Li Mu expectantly.

It’s not their fault that they are not firm in their stance, it’s just that Big Brother has given them too much.

Who can resist all kinds of large-scale chemical industrial equipment, heavy machinery and equipment, and high-precision experimental instruments that are urgently needed in the country?

The cost of a Type 02 computer is less than yuan, but the various equipment that can be traded in return is worth at least tens of millions.

"It won't take three months, so you can sell it without worry." Li Mu smiled faintly, but added: "But you can't sell too many, I will give you one at most."

"If Big Brother knew that we now have the ability to mass-produce the Model 02, the Model 01 computer would not be so easy to sell at a high price."

Now that the news has gotten out, there is no point in covering it up.

Rather than ending up with nothing, it is better to strive for the greatest benefit.

As for whether Big Brother would know that the Type 02 computer could be mass-produced, there is no need to consider this.

Learning about the existence of the Type 02 computer is not as difficult as learning that it can be mass-produced.

Hearing this, Leader Qiu showed a delighted expression on his face and said quickly:

"If so, that would be great."

"Do you have any equipment you want? Please bring it up when I report to my superiors."

"Don't worry, this is not a special treatment, it is the country's support for the scientific field you are studying."

"I'll make a list and send it to you later?" Li Mu's heart moved slightly. Big Brother did have a lot of good things at the moment, and he wanted to see them.

Although the chat page contains complete information, it is not as convenient as actually seeing the real thing.

Leader Qiu agreed immediately.

Then, we finished talking about business.

Everyone surrounded Li Mu and started praising him in various ways.

Unable to bear it any longer, he quickly stood up and said goodbye, disappearing in a flash, causing Guo Mo and others to burst into laughter.

……

Back to the Semiconductor Research Institute.

Li Mu first came to the Type 03 personal computer to check their research progress.

Professor Bai, the head of the research team, saw him coming, put down his work, walked out and asked, "Advisor Li, why are you here?"

"Come and see how it's going?" Li Mu asked casually.

In fact, he didn't have any expectations.

It would be difficult to make a truly Type 03 computer without improving the level of integration.

So what he proposed was the Model 03 personal computer.

Compared with mainframe computers, personal computers are definitely inferior in computing power.

But it also has advantages over mainframe computers: it is mobile, less expensive, and most importantly, can be connected to the Internet.
