The Red Era, the Opening University Speech

Chapter 308 Concerns about Li Mu's Reputation
Kyoto First Machine Tool Works was established in 49 and was initially formed by the merger of several small factories. It mainly produces small and medium-sized iron castings and non-ferrous metal castings below 2 tons.

The current number of employees is 185, including 24 engineering and technical personnel.

In the 60s, the country's first X5210 circular table milling machine and X212 gantry milling machine were designed.

When it comes to machine tool manufacturing, the First Machine Tool Factory is undoubtedly at the forefront of Xiaguo.

"Of course, these achievements are insignificant compared to those of you, Consultant Li. The invention of the 3+2-axis CNC milling machine will surely shock the domestic industrial community!" Tang Yanjie and Li Mu chatted while waiting in line.

Even now, he still couldn't believe that Xia Guo could make such a powerful CNC milling machine.

Lin Zhenshun, the director of the First Machine Tool Factory, accompanied him and told the history of their factory while looking at the extremely young Li Mu with admiration.

They collaborated with the China Europe International Business University, but only managed to produce a three-axis machine.

When they first heard about the 3+2 axis development idea, many of their engineers were amazed and exclaimed: "It's really possible to design it this way. It's such a creative idea!"

Although it is not a 5-axis machine, its processing effect on specific workpieces is not much weaker than that of 5-axis, so the name of pseudo 5-axis is well deserved.

"Leader, please don't be in a hurry to praise me. Wait until I succeed. If I fail then, I will be embarrassed." Li Mu said with a smile.

Although he is now fully confident that he can build a 3+2-axis CNC milling machine, he still has to pretend to be a little unconfident.

It is amazing that we succeeded every time, but we can also use the excuse of good luck.

But if you feel you can succeed every time you start, that's something worth pondering.

But Li Mu still underestimated everyone's confidence in him. Tang Yanjie laughed and said:

"You are just being modest. So many experts and professors have given an 80% success rate inference. How can it not succeed?"

“Even if there are problems, they are only temporary.”

"Not only do the higher-ups trust you, I also believe in you. You can definitely make a 3+2 axis CNC milling machine!"

……

Everyone was eating and chatting.

After finishing the meal.

Tang Yanjie originally wanted Li Mu to rest in the dormitory arranged by the machine tool factory.

But he was thinking about the Semiconductor Research Institute and wanted to go and take a look first.

If there are no major problems in the institute, he will stay in the 3+2-axis CNC milling machine development team for the rest of the time.

After hearing this, the latter thought it made sense, so he gladly sent him off in person.

……

8 points.

Tang Yanjie's private car stopped in front of the Semiconductor Research Institute.

He gave Li Mu a few more instructions, asking him not to work too late and to get enough rest, and then he left in the car.

Greeted the guard.

Enter the institute.

Several laboratory buildings are still brightly lit.

Li Mu walked quickly towards the experimental building where the second-generation supercomputer development team was located.

Just as he was about to go up, he happened to meet Wang Shoujue who had just returned from dinner.

Seeing him, the latter was very happy and couldn't help but teasing:

"Has our consultant Li returned from his visit to Sichuan and Chongqing?"

"You made quite a fuss this time when you went there."

"I read in the newspaper that many university professors have invited you to give lectures, and countless students are asking to learn from you every day. You are amazing."

Joking aside, he still admired Li Mu very much.

There are famous scientists, but there are only a handful of them who are loved and respected by students like this one.

"It's just that the country needs a role model, and I happen to be suitable." Li Mu said with a smile.

He doesn't think he has made much of a contribution.

In Xia Country, there are many scientists who have made much greater contributions than him.

His only advantage is that he is young, as young as this country.

It just so happened that he was pushed forward to be the "spokesperson" when the country was in trouble.

Wang Shoujue shook his head and said:

"Then this role model is also unique. No one can do it except you."

"Don't talk about this, lest you become proud."

"You came so late, are you here to ask about your research during the past nine days? Don't worry, the research of each research team is going smoothly..."

He recounted all the research progress after Li Mu left.

The research on the second-generation supercomputer has entered the final stage, and various research and development teams are working day and night.

The Type 03 personal computer and Type 01 operating system also made considerable breakthroughs.

I can’t say for sure that we will succeed soon, but we should be able to produce initial results within 2 to 3 months.

"As for color LCD TVs, the production line has been almost built, and we are already testing the waters on a small scale. It won't be long before they are sent to Hong Kong for trial sales," Wang Shoujue said finally.

He visits various research and development groups every day, and can explain the situation of each group clearly without any reports.

After listening, Li Mu nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work during the time I was away." "It's not hard or not. Besides, who can work harder than you? You came to work as soon as I came back." Wang Shoujue said with a smile.

Li Mu smiled slightly and said:
"That may not be the case. We will have a lot of things to trouble you with. Sichuan and Chongqing will send a group of people over for software engineering training."

"I'll have to trouble you to take care of them then."

"In addition, we need to select one or two people to go to Sichuan and Chongqing to help them establish a joint software engineering research center and a game development center. You can choose the candidates based on your preference."

Since I have promised Li Dazhang, I should do this as soon as possible.

The procedures should still be going through at this moment. When the people from Sichuan and Chongqing come over, they will be fully prepared and can start directly, saving time and effort.

"Okay, I'll arrange it later." Wang Shoujue nodded and agreed without thinking.

After all, this is not the first or second time that Li Mu has recruited people, so it is normal that he has come from Sichuan and Chongqing this time.

He was a little surprised that she was willing to send someone there.

But after saying that, he asked with some doubt: "Wait, you're going to leave the people you brought to me? Aren't you going to take care of them yourself?"

"I have other things to do, so I may not be able to leave for a while." Li Mu said.

After he said this, Wang Shoujue immediately understood.

Anything that can be done without considering the research at the institute is only more important than the second-generation supercomputer.

……

Met with Wang Shoujue.

I learned that no major problems occurred in the various research and development teams.

Li Mu returned home.

After putting down the briefcase.

He went to the study, took out a piece of manuscript paper, and began to organize his current research plan.

Now that the situation at the Semiconductor Research Institute is stable, the primary goal now is to develop the 3+2 CNC milling machine.

Today's grouping and task arrangement are just the beginning.

He still has many problems to solve.

For example, the problem of machine tool adjustment.

3+2 axis machining requires very precise adjustment of the machine tool, including calibration of the rotary axis and feed axis to ensure that the machine tool can operate stably during the machining process.

Any minor improper adjustment may lead to processing errors and affect the final product quality.

The problem of machine tool adjustment often involves parameter setting.

The parameters of the CNC system are important data obtained through a series of experiments and adjustments, and are usually stored in RAM powered by a battery.

If the parameters are set incorrectly, it will have an adverse effect on the operation of the machine tool and CNC system.

"Replace the batteries, supply power regularly, and train a group of skilled workers." Li Mu wrote down the solutions to the problems on paper while checking the information.

Of course, in addition to these three methods, there are also adjustments to tools and programming.

These include unclear concepts, inability to distinguish between left/right compensation for tool radius, and inadequate understanding of tool length compensation.

He marked these as possible problems at the bottom of the manuscript.

You can be humble in speaking, but you must be high-profile in doing things.

……

Just as Li Mu was working hard to perfect the plan in his hand.

Up here, Tang Yanjie, Guo Mo and Qiu also gathered together and held a brief meeting.

Guo Mo was the first to speak up: "The higher-ups still want Li Mulai to be the chief designer of the 3+2 axis CNC milling machine. No one else can convince the public except him."

"I don't think it's appropriate. Once the CNC milling machine is successful, it will be impossible to hide it. By then, Li Mu will definitely come into the sight of those who are interested." Leader Qiu immediately stepped forward and said.

Apparently, they were discussing Li Mu's appointment.

Although Li Mu himself has not realized that he is still an "illegal member" in the research team, the issue of his status still needs to be settled as soon as possible.

Guo Mo said:
"If the confidentiality regulations are strictly enforced, nothing will go wrong. The higher-ups take into consideration that Li Mu is still young and has the desire to achieve success."

"We have been very harsh in keeping him hidden."

"If this continues, I'm afraid he will lose his energy and pursuit."

Of course he understood that this research could not be kept secret.

It has been decided that once the 3+2 CNC milling machine is successful, it will be popularized at the fastest speed.

Even though it would cost a huge amount in the short term, it would be extremely beneficial to Xia's industrial development in the long run.

And maybe within a year or two, they will be able to recover these costs.

"I agree with President Guo's idea. The honor should be given. Not to mention what will happen after the success, the title of chief designer belongs to him." Tang Yanjie interrupted.

He didn't care about anything else, he just knew that without Li Mu, this research would never be accomplished.

"Why don't we give him a code name, and pretend that this code name is the real chief designer, and Li Mu is just a disguise? Then we can make this code name public, and we don't have to worry about being found by tracing the clues." Leader Qiu thought about it and suggested.

The higher-ups wanted Li Mu to be the chief designer, but he guessed there was really no good reward, so he could only make up for it by changing his status.

Since the first generation of supercomputers, the rewards Li Mu received were basically certificates, medals, and food and meat coupons, and he rarely received money anymore.

After all, Li Mu can always get more than 30 yuan from the special allowance every time. It makes no difference whether he has this little money as a reward or not.
