The Red Era, the Opening University Speech

Chapter 298 Industrial Machine
Li Dazhang said: "I am Li Dazhang. On behalf of the people of Sichuan and Chongqing, I warmly welcome you, Li Gu, to come here for academic exchanges!"

Li Mu quickly shook hands: "Leader, you are so polite, so polite!"

"Hahahaha, the academic circles in Sichuan and Chongqing are all excited to hear that you are coming. They are all eagerly looking forward to meeting you. Consultant Li, let's not talk in a hurry. Please come with me first. The accommodation has been arranged."

"Take a rest today, I will welcome you tomorrow!"

His eyes were full of heat as he looked at Li Mu.

If it was just an ordinary expert or professor, he would definitely not be so enthusiastic and there would be no need to greet him in person.

But Li Mu is someone who must be taken care of after several leaders above him called and instructed him to do so.

I'm afraid no one has ever enjoyed this honor since the founding of the country.

"Thank you for your kindness, leader, but I'm afraid I can't follow you now." Li Mu said helplessly.

Li Dazhang was stunned for a moment, and asked in confusion: "Why is this? Do you have any other plans?"

He just finished speaking.

Suddenly, a group of people walked in from outside the station.

Seeing Li Dazhang, the leader was stunned for a moment, then asked: "Leader, why are you here too?"

"Professor Zhang, and Professor Shen, why did you bring people here?" Li Dazhang was even more confused.

He knew the identities of the two men and that they were working on a national secret military project.

Professor Zhang said directly: "Leader, we are here to pick up Consultant Li."

"To pick up Consultant Li?" Li Dazhang looked at Li Mu and understood instantly.

No wonder this nationally renowned scientist suddenly came to Sichuan and Chongqing. It turned out that he was here to help with research.

It’s just that I can’t believe that this great scientist, who is famous for J language and software engineering, also understands military technology?

His mind was racing with thoughts, but his mouth was not slow, and he immediately said, "I see, that's a pity. I was hoping to have a good chat with you, Advisor Li."

At the end, Li Dazhang couldn't help but look regretful.

But he also knew that it was impossible to force people to stay.

If that happens, I'm afraid that as soon as I get back to work, I'll get a phone call from Kyoto cursing me.

"I will stay here for 7 days this time, so there will be opportunities. Besides, the four comrades who come with me, Yang Tianxing, Zhou Xiling, Lei Ming and Wang Ya, are also good at software engineering." Li Mu said with a smile.

He could guess the other party's intention without having to guess.

Software engineering is a key project in this country, and even a fool can see its importance.

Li Dazhang heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this.

Although it is definitely not as good as Li Mu, it is better than nothing.

……

Afterwards, Huang Xinhua and others followed Li Dazhang and left first.

Li Mu and Wang Ya simply said goodbye.

Then he looked at Shen Zhongyi and Professor Zhang.

Behind the two of them, there was a soldier in military uniform, and his rank seemed to be at the regimental level.

Shen Zhongyi introduced: "Advisor Li, this is Director Zhang Yunhua, and this is Head of the Group Wang Kun"

"Hello, Director Zhang, and Captain Wang." Li Mu greeted them.

While he was looking at the two people, they were also looking at him.

Zhang Yunhua couldn't help but say:
"Advisor Li is much younger than he appears in the newspapers!"

"When Director Shen told me about this, I didn't believe it."

"But today I really believe it. He is truly a natural born hero, extraordinary!"

He had worked with Shen Zhongyi for a long time, so naturally he wanted to know the designer behind the magnetohydrodynamic thruster.

But neither he nor many people in the research base could believe that it was Li Mu.

A scientist who has achieved world-renowned results in the field of computing technology has actually developed a magnetohydrodynamic thruster. This is simply unbelievable and a huge cross-border move!

"Director Zhang, you are too kind. The real credit actually goes to all the unknown researchers. I am just a part of the entire team." Li Mu said with a smile.

This attitude made Zhang Yunhua appreciate it even more.

Although they had just met, Li Mu left a very good impression on him.

He is capable and humble, and is liked wherever he goes.

……

A few people chatted for a while.

Li Mu followed Zhang Yunhua out of the train station.

Outside the station, five or six army green GAZ-69s were lined up in a long row.

At the front and the back, there are even military trucks filled with soldiers.

"Advisor Li, please." Zhang Yunhua took the lead and walked to the back seat of a GAZ-69 car, then said.

Only after hearing his voice did Li Mu come back to his senses from his shock.

This escort specification is considered to be at its maximum.

Wang Kun and Shen Zhongyi followed closely, one sitting in the passenger seat and the other in the back seat, sandwiching him in the middle.

After everyone was seated, the convoy slowly set off.

……

As we walked along, the surrounding scenery became more and more lush and green, and gradually there were no more people.

Until about five or six in the afternoon.

After driving around in the mountains for a long time, the convoy finally stopped at a sentry post.

The rest of the journey will have to be walked.

Fortunately, with Zhang Yunhua, Shen Zhongyi and others to chat with, Li Mu walked and chatted all the way without feeling tired.

After walking for half an hour and going through several inspections.

At last they came to a col.

This is the research base for atomic submarines.

Zhang Yunhua smiled and said, "Advisor Li, we are here. We will have dinner later and arrange a room for you. How about you take a day off and we can start again tomorrow?"

He was exhausted after walking this distance.

Although Li Mu looked only slightly pale, he didn't dare to gamble.

The superiors had specifically instructed to take good care of Li Mu's health.

"No need to be so troublesome. I'll rest for a while and we'll start in the evening." Li Mu waved his hand.

Zhang Yunhua said:

"That won't work. The leaders have repeatedly told us to take care of your health, to make sure you get enough rest and not get too tired."

"Although the reason is not stated explicitly, we cannot violate it."

"Besides, we also need to prepare for the bench test of the prototype, so we won't be able to see it now."

His words made Li Mu silent.

Finally, he nodded and said, "Okay, take a rest first and start again tomorrow."

In order to preserve his reputation, he thought it would be better not to continue.

——Shen Zhongyi at the back was obviously eager to explain why the higher-ups were concerned about his health.

They won't gossip behind others' backs.

But if you do it in person, you don’t mind it.

That regretful expression seemed to want to say, "Why don't you hold on a little longer?"

...Seeing Li Mu nod, Zhang Yunhua took Li Mu to the cafeteria of the base for dinner.

After working for so long, they only ate a little dry food and were already starving.

However, seeing that Li Mu took food for more than a dozen people at once, he couldn't help but say, "Advisor Li, you can take it one at a time to avoid wasting it if you can't finish it."

It’s not that I can’t bear to part with it.

Considering Li Mu’s contribution to the magnetohydrodynamic propulsion system, it doesn’t matter how much he eats, but he just doesn’t want to waste food.

"Don't worry, Li Mu can finish it. He ate like this when he was with us." Before Li Mu could speak, Shen Zhongyi helped to explain.

Then, without waiting for Zhang Yunhua to react, Li Mu smiled at him and began to eat the food that had piled up like a mountain in front of him.

Looking at him eating one steamed bun at a time, Zhang Yunhua couldn't help swallowing his saliva and swallowing back the words in his mouth.

This way of eating really means there is no need to waste food.

He realized it belatedly and thought, "No wonder. I was wondering why they suddenly allocated an extra amount of food expenses."

……

After finishing his meal, Li Mu went to sleep in the dormitory that was arranged for him.

Although I said it was not a big deal, it was impossible to say that I was not tired after traveling for more than 30 hours.

So, as soon as he touched the pillow, he fell asleep.

I slept until around 9 o'clock in the evening before I got up.

But before I could do anything, my stomach started growling again.

"Let's go eat first." Touching his stomach, Li Mu pushed open the door and walked out of the dormitory.

As soon as I came out, a young soldier came forward and said, "Advisor Li, you are awake. I am Chang Dingxing, the assistant assigned by the director to you for the next few days. You can just call me Xiao Chang. If you need anything, just tell me."

"Well, is there any food in the cafeteria now?" Li Mu asked.

I didn't do anything at all and just ate two meals. I felt a little embarrassed.

Chang Dingxing said: "Yes, the director specially asked the canteen to save some food for you. Please follow me."

Having said that, he took the lead and walked downstairs.

Li Mu followed him and looked around the entire research base as he walked.

The buildings are generally not tall and are mostly made of concrete. If it weren't for the guards everywhere, they would look like old factory dormitories in later times.

As they passed by a building, Li Mu pointed upward and asked, "Is that the laboratory with the light on over there?"

"Yes, Director Zhang is still leading people in research, and they often don't rest until one or two o'clock." Chang Dingxing replied.

Li Mu became interested when he heard this and said, "Let's not go eat yet. Can I go up and take a look?"

"I can't decide on this. I have to ask the director for help." Chang Dingxing said with difficulty.

Although Zhang Yunhua told him to try his best to meet Li Mu's requirements, the laboratory had a special status after all, and it was impossible to let in someone who had just arrived.

Hearing this, Li Mu did not insist.

……

After following Chang Dingxing to the cafeteria to eat, he returned to the dormitory.

I slept for the whole afternoon and didn’t feel sleepy at all.

I simply opened the chat page and started browsing various technical information.

Let’s not consider computers for now.

Now, with the emergence of software such as CAD, CAM and CAE, the industry is about to usher in a major upgrade.

But the foundation is too weak, even if it is upgraded, it will not be upgraded much.

If possible, he still wants to develop something that can directly enhance industrial strength.

For example - industrial machine tools.

"Yashida, Haitian Precision, Neway CNC..." Li Mu's eyes swept across the rows of industrial machine tool manufacturing companies.

Industrial machine tools are machines used to manufacture production machines, also called machine tools.

Its existence enables it to provide various mechanical equipment for various industries. It is the heart of the entire modern industry and one of the most core keys to the machinery manufacturing industry.

After reading it, Li Mu thought to himself, "Since they have already started researching 3+2 CNC milling machines, there is no reason not to try to develop 3+2 CNC machine tools."

CNC milling machine is just a type of CNC machine tools.

The latter includes CNC lathes, CNC grinders, etc.

"The Institute of Aeronautics should have already started research on the 3+2 CNC milling machine, so I will try to research the more versatile 3+2 CNC lathe." Li Mu quickly set a goal for himself.

Xiaguo is now far ahead of the world in many fields such as computers, semiconductors and software engineering.

Even if the processing accuracy is a little poor, it can be solved by hand rubbing.

He has enough confidence to complete this research.

"It's a pity that we still have a long way to go before we can achieve 5-axis." Li Mu thought with a little regret.

High-end CNC lathes generally have 3-axis or more linkage control functions.

Later generations regarded owning five-axis CNC machine tools as an important symbol of a country's industrialization.

If they can really come up with it, the gap in overall industrial technology between Xia Country and Emperor M will be instantly widened by at least 5 years!
It’s not that Emperor M is leading, but that Country Xia has surpassed Emperor M by 5 years in one fell swoop!
"We still have to take one step at a time and not be impatient." Li Mu shook his head and didn't think about it any further.

It is basically impossible to reach 5 axes in one step, and you still need to accumulate experience.

He took a deep breath and calmed himself down.

Then I started to access the databases of various CNC machine tool companies and sorted out the information.
“DMU50，快移速度为24米每分钟，转速范围20至8000转每分钟……M6-400，主电机功率为15千瓦，主轴转速范围可达18000转每分钟……”

……

The next day, early morning.

Li Mu got up early.

Wash up and exercise.

The way he was boxing attracted a lot of people's attention.

Zhang Yunhua, who was about to go find him, stopped when he saw his appearance, his face full of surprise.

He couldn't help but ask Shen Zhongyi beside him: "Has this consultant Li always been so... so different?"

He thought for a long time before he came up with the word "different".

It would be fine if the meal could feed more than a dozen people in one meal.

He punches with great vigor and looks more like a martial arts boxer than a scientist.

"Haha, don't be so surprised. There will be many more surprises in the future!" Shen Zhongyi laughed.

……

Just as the two were talking.

Li Mu here also finished his boxing.

He had already noticed Zhang Yunhua and Shen Zhongyi standing nearby, so after putting away his posture, he went straight over and said, "Good morning, two directors. I thought I had to wait a little longer before you got up."

"The research task is so tight that I can't sleep. I wish I could live in the laboratory every day!" Zhang Yunhua put away his surprise and shook his head when he heard it.

Li Mu agreed, "That's right. The responsibility of national rejuvenation rests on your shoulders and mine. Even if it costs us everything, we will do it."

"Well said!" Zhang Yunhua's eyes lit up and he said, "No wonder Consultant Li has achieved so much at such a young age. This awareness is worthy of our admiration!"

Li Mu waved his hand:

"You're too kind. I believe that you and the thousands of other scientific researchers have higher awareness than me."

"To be honest, I have always been interested in atomic submarines since I was at the Beijing Institute of Technology."

"It's just that by some strange coincidence, I haven't made any progress in this area. I don't know if I can have the opportunity to learn relevant knowledge from you this time."
