The Red Era, the Opening University Speech

Chapter 302 Sure enough, I still prefer to be low-key

"Advisor Li!" A student shouted and rushed directly to Li Mu.

The other students did not dare to fall behind and ran up one after another, looking extremely excited.

Seeing more and more people crowding over, Li Mu, who was discovered, quickly shouted, "Everyone, be quiet first, don't crowd over here, I can't run away."

This sentence gradually calmed down the originally excited students from their frenzy.

Fortunately, there were not many students in the meeting room, only about forty or fifty people, and order was quickly restored.

But before Li Mu could say anything, another voice rang out from the back of the crowd: "Students, please make way and let the leaders and teachers pass first."

Hearing the sound, the students turned around.

Upon seeing this, Dai Boxing, Zhang Deren, Gu En...almost all the presidents of universities in Sichuan and Chongqing were there.

There was also an old man standing in the front who looked familiar.

"Leader?" An expert revealed Li Dazhang's identity.

The students also realized that this was their Sichuan and Chongqing leader!
Li Dazhang didn't pay attention to the noise around him.

After the students made way for him, he slowly walked forward, looked at Li Mu with a smile, and said, "Advisor Li, you really kept us waiting!"

"Please forgive me, leader. I really can't spare the time." Li Mu showed a helpless expression.

Of course, it's pretending.

He just didn't want to make too much noise.

Li Dazhang said:

"Then you must stay for a few more days to appreciate the local customs and practices of Sichuan and Chongqing."

"We can also have in-depth discussions with experts and professors on academic issues, and hold a few lectures to meet the students' expectations."

"You are the most authoritative expert in the field of software engineering in China. With your help, we in Sichuan and Chongqing will benefit greatly!"

He finished with a smile.

The university presidents around them, such as Dai Boxing, Zhang Deren, and Gu Xin, as well as professors and students, also spoke in unison:

"Yes, Consultant Li, please stay a few more days and have a good time in Sichuan and Chongqing."

"When you come to Chengdu, you can't miss our traditional hot pot. Don't worry, we will definitely treat you well."

"We have many students who want to meet you, listen to your lectures, and learn about software engineering!"

……

Li Mu was a little overwhelmed by the enthusiasm of the crowd.

He looked at Li Dazhang and smiled helplessly.

If the other party told him privately to stay a few more days, he could still find an excuse.

But with so many people speaking up at the same time, it was a blatant conspiracy, and he had no way of refusing.

Well, it shouldn't be a big deal to stay for another day or two.

"Since everyone is so enthusiastic, I will stay longer..." Li Mu was about to say one day with a smile when he suddenly met everyone's sincere eyes.

After a pause, he continued, "Stay two more days. No more. There are still many things waiting for me in Kyoto."

"Okay, okay, just two days, just two days. Consultant Li, please come this way. You haven't had lunch yet, let's go and taste the delicacies of Sichuan and Chongqing together." Li Dazhang said happily.

Dai Boxing and other university presidents also looked delighted.

Not to mention two days, they made money even in one day.

Li Mu waved his hand and said, "Leader, don't worry. I will come directly to the conference room to see how several comrades in our institute are working these days."

After saying that, he turned his gaze towards Yang Tianxing and the others standing behind.

"Is there any need to look at this? Their achievements in recent days are obvious to all!" Li Dazhang laughed.

Not only him, but also a group of experts and professors praised the four people.

Dai Boxing said: "Advisor Li, you don't know that in the past few days, with the help of Yang Tianxing and several other comrades, we have completed more than a dozen research projects with remarkable results!"

while he was speaking.

Yang Tianxing, Zhou Xiling, Lei Ming and Wang Ya also walked up to Li Mu with nervous looks.

The feeling of being suddenly checked on your "homework" without any preparation is indeed a bit sour.

"The results are good. I heard everything just now, but there is still room for improvement. Don't be proud." Li Mu said with a smile.

This affirmation made Yang Tianxing and the other two so happy that they almost jumped up and said quickly: "Don't worry, Consultant Li, we will definitely not be proud and will work harder!"

Hearing this, Li Mu nodded with satisfaction.

Just as he was about to encourage a few more people, a student suddenly plucked up the courage to speak:

"Advisor Li, we are students from the Department of Computer Science at the Shipbuilding University. After learning that you proposed the new discipline of software engineering, we have always wanted to study it in depth. Can you tell us in detail how to study software engineering?"

"Yes, Consultant Li, we are all very interested in software engineering. Unfortunately, only Kyoto has an educational pilot program now. By the time it is officially launched, some senior students will graduate." The students around also pleaded.

Computer science was not originally a very popular subject.

However, as it is a high-tech and cutting-edge technology, the research conditions are quite demanding. In fact, many regions do not have the conditions to support student research.

If it weren't for the Type 01 and Type 02 computers developed by Li Mu, many students would have had to conduct research under very simple conditions after graduation.

But software engineering gave them a new direction. They could not only study how to build computers, but also how to maximize the performance of computers.

"Don't worry, students." Li Mu smiled and said: "The educational pilot will not take too long. After the software engineering textbooks have been put into actual teaching, they will be published and sold on the market."

"As for me giving you a detailed talk on what software engineering is, I'd be happy to do that, but today is your research meeting, so I won't take over the show."

"But I can tell you that you have actually mastered the most important part of software engineering - application. Once you have learned it, you can say that you have just entered the door of software engineering..."

……

Li Mu didn't want to talk too much at first, but as he spoke, he unknowingly started talking at length.

In fact, in his opinion, many people in Xia country now have a tendency to mystify software engineering.

This is not good for the development of the discipline.

"Software engineering is a discipline that needs to be applied in practice. The reason why I just said that they still have room for improvement is because they only stayed at the stage of studying the design drawings. They did not actually make the drawings and just kept rushing forward." Li Mu finished his speech and criticized Yang Tianxing and others.

Granted, they probably just wanted to finish a few more design drawings.

But no matter how much you complete, if you can't make it, it's just waste paper.

Even with the software of later generations, the drawings drawn cannot guarantee 100% successful manufacturing of the product, let alone now.

Everyone's eyes suddenly focused on Yang Tianxing and the other three. They lowered their heads in shame and said, "We will definitely learn from our mistakes and never make the same mistake again."

"This is not a criticism, just a reminder. You did a great job." Li Mu walked forward and patted the three on the shoulders.

When he walked in front of Wang Ya, he paused, leaned forward slightly, and whispered: "Go and rest soon, you have dark circles under your eyes."

"Oh, okay, I understand." Wang Ya, who was originally feeling a little depressed, suddenly blushed.

……

Then, Li Mu gave a brief summary.

What he wants to do is actually to bring software engineering down from the "pedestal" and let everyone recognize its essence - to facilitate all production and life of human beings, rather than just being used for scientific and industrial research.

After saying all this.

He originally planned to follow Li Dazhang to try the delicious food of Sichuan and Chongqing.

Unexpectedly, the students were so enthusiastic that they all wanted to stay with him for a while longer.

So he suggested going to the canteen of the ship to have dinner.

But after leaving the computer building, he regretted it.

Looking at the students blocking the entrance of the building, a crowd like a tide, Li Mu slapped his forehead and complained bitterly.

……

Fortunately, although the students were fanatical, they still maintained order.

They cheered Li Mu's name, expressing their respect and admiration.

In this era, people don’t chase stars.

But everyone who contributes to the country is the brightest sun in their hearts.

The sounds of "click", "click", and "click" of cameras kept ringing as Li Mu walked through the crowd.

If the guards hadn't stopped them, the reporters would have rushed up to Li Mu and taken a picture of him in the face.

But even so, he believed that before the afternoon, the reports of his visit to Shipbuilding University for academic exchange activities would be on the front pages of major newspapers in Sichuan and Chongqing.

"Sure enough, I still prefer to keep a low profile!" Li Mu sighed in his heart.

……

In the end, Li Mu still failed to go to the cafeteria.

I don’t know how the news spread.

Students who came from major universities in Chengdu blocked the campus of Chuanxi University.

Although order was still well maintained, with so many people gathered together, and they were all college students, there were still safety risks.

Therefore, Li Mu finally left with Li Dazhang and others and went to the compound of the government agency to have dinner.

……

In order to show his hospitality, Li Dazhang served a very sumptuous meal.

Fairy duck, colorful chicken slices, lotus hydrangea...all kinds of Sichuan and Chongqing specialties are so dazzling that they make people drool.

Li Mu felt that the standard was too high, and he quickly dissuaded Li Dazhang, who was about to ask the secretary to add more dishes, saying: "Leader, that's enough, that's enough, there are only a few of us, we can't eat too much."

"Haha, Consultant Li, don't think I haven't heard of you. You are a famous 'big eater'. If I don't arrange a little more, can you eat to your heart's content? Don't worry, it's just a meal, you can't eat more than us!" Li Dazhang laughed.

In fact, the specifications were indeed a bit excessive. Even if he was entertaining leaders from above, he would not be so extravagant.

But when it comes to Li Mu, he feels that this is far from enough, and the money in excess of the standard is directly subsidized by him, as the leader, using his own salary.

"Come, try our famous Sichuan and Chongqing wine Jianlanxia." Li Dazhang enthusiastically poured him the wine himself.

The sweet aroma of the wine leaves a lasting aftertaste.

However, Li Mu quickly waved his hand and said, "Thank you for your kindness, leader, but forget about the wine. Drinking it will affect your brain's thinking."

"Although it may be minimal, we should still try to avoid this situation."

"I will drink tea instead of wine as a punishment. Please forgive me."

He hasn't had a drink since he came to this age.

At first I was afraid of talking nonsense when drunk, but later I decided to pursue a career in scientific research and would never touch it.

"What's the matter with forgiving or not? Just drink whatever you want. Don't be polite with us." Li Dazhang put down the bottle and indicated with a smile that it was okay.

Dai Boxing, who was standing by, could not help but sigh: "No wonder Consultant Li has achieved so much at such a young age. It seems that it is not only his talent that counts, but also his self-discipline!"

"That's right. Drinking will affect your thinking. We are fine, but scientists like you really can't drink. Even if there is a little impact, it will be a major loss to our country!" Zhang Deren, president of the University of Shipbuilding, followed.

Huang Xinhua, who was about to pour himself a glass of wine, put it down silently.

Li Dazhang saw this and said with a smile:

"That's right. Scientists' brains are the most important and must be well protected."

"Come on, Consultant Li, it doesn't matter if you can't drink alcohol, try our tea."

"As for everyone else, drink whatever you want to drink."

After saying this, he hinted at Dai Boxing and the others with his eyes.

"Yes, yes, let's all toast to Consultant Li." Several university presidents immediately understood and raised their glasses.

Li Mu also raised his glass in response.

……

After three rounds of drinking.

Li Dazhang then continued to talk about business, saying, "Advisor Li, we actually have an unwelcome request. I wonder if you can make it convenient for us?"

"Thank you, leader. If you need anything, just let me know as soon as possible." Li Mu paused while eating and said with a smile.

He himself would not believe that such a sumptuous treat was just to leave a good impression on him.

Hearing this, Li Dazhang said quickly:
"It's not a big deal, actually. I just want you to agree to let Yang Tianxing, Zhou Xiling, Lei Ming, and Wang Ya stay for a few more days."

"Now most of our universities and related research institutes in Sichuan and Chongqing have gathered at the Shipbuilding University. It can be said to be an unprecedented academic event."

"But if they leave too, I'm afraid it will be difficult to hold this grand event."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Li Mu eagerly.

Dai Boxing, Zhang Deren, Gu En and others also showed hopeful eyes.

They were already satisfied to be able to keep Li Mu for two days, more was impossible.

But keeping Yang Tianxing and the others for a while longer is actually a good thing.

"Leader, I support this matter, but I have to ask the opinions of the other four comrades first. If they agree, there will be no problem." Li Mu thought for a while and said.

There is something to do with home.

He was also planning to bring some talented people from Sichuan and Chongqing to Kyoto, so it would be a good idea to be generous at this time.

Li Dazhang didn't know what he was thinking. Hearing this, he showed joy on his face and said, "Then it's settled!"

……

After achieving the goal, the atmosphere became more harmonious.

Later in the conversation, Li Dazhang and Dai Boxing even proposed to cooperate with the Semiconductor Research Institute in Kyoto to set up a joint software engineering R&D center.

As long as Li Mu nodded, they would immediately report to their superiors.

However, although this is a good thing, Li Mu feels that it is not the right time yet.
