The Red Era, the Opening University Speech

Chapter 319 People will stand up straight because of you

"I won't force it. Besides, I have some ideas and I'm preparing to gather a team to develop military equipment." Li Mu shook his head and said.

At this point, no matter how much he said, it would be useless.

Instead of pushing it back and forth.

It would be more convincing to directly launch a product.

"Oh? You already have an idea for new equipment?" Sure enough, everyone in the room looked curious after hearing this.

Even the senior leaders couldn’t help but sigh:
"Your research is full of surprises, one after another!"

"It's not right to say that you are a lucky general."

"It's more appropriate to call it Lucky Star. If other countries knew about this, they would probably be envious."

His eyes were full of love for Li Mu.

"You're too kind. I just have some ideas, but I haven't started to implement them yet." Li Mu scratched his head and said modestly.

Infected by the emotions of Qin Yun and others.

He also felt that he was too excited.

It is indeed not appropriate to bring this up now.

We are just fighting against India, not against the Emperor M and Big Brother.

"It's okay, it's okay. It's commendable that you have this idea. Besides, we believe you can make it happen." Qin Yun laughed.

Although I have only met Li Mu now.

But he had long heard that he liked to throw research plans to others.

The superior leader at the side asked: "I am curious, what kind of military weapons are you going to make?"

Hear this.

Qin Yun stopped laughing immediately and looked at Li Mu with sharp eyes.

The same is true for other senior generals.

"My idea is to start with four aspects: precision-guided weapons, high-tech clusters, highly automated battlefield command and control, and computers." Li Mu thought for a while and said.

These four aspects come from the famous Battle of the Sea Bowl in later generations.

The multinational coalition led by Emperor M had a strength of 66 troops, while the Mesopotamian strength was 86.

In terms of numbers, we can borrow the words of the transport captain: "The advantage is mine."

But the final result was a disastrous defeat for Mesopotamia.

In 42 days, the casualties in Potamia reached 10.

The M-Emperor coalition forces consisted of only more than 900 people.

The comparison of casualties reached an astonishing 1 to 111, which is no exaggeration to say that it was a one-sided crushing.

This war can be said to have awakened the whole world.

It also marked the beginning of information warfare.

"Oh, why these?" Qin Yun asked curiously.

These nouns are not difficult to understand literally.

But is this enough to win a war?

Li Mu thought for a moment and said, "Because I believe that the future war model will shift towards information technology, rather than the traditional war model where both sides engage in face-to-face attacks on the battlefield."

"Why is that?" Qin Yun sat up straight and asked.

Not to mention him, even the group of senior generals in the room who had experienced many battles, including a senior leader whose military strategic ability was said to be the best in the world, did not quite understand it.

After all, it was not until the 70s that Emperor M proposed the concept of "system warfare".

The concept of information warfare only appeared in the 80s.

Li Mu said: "I would like to ask first, if a war starts and we are able to accurately locate, launch D-bombs, and destroy the command system and radar system, what are our chances of winning?"

"The command system and radar system are gone. What's the point of fighting the opponent? Just surrender." Qin Yun laughed.

The other rewards also couldn't help but laugh.

They don't understand information warfare.

You don’t understand the command system and radar system. If they are destroyed, the enemy troops on the battlefield will become headless flies.

The superior leader did not laugh, but asked seriously:
"But how can we destroy them so easily? You know, even if we find them, our current weapons may not be able to hit them."

He keenly realized that what Li Mu was saying was extremely important.

It may even affect the pattern of future world wars.

Hearing this, Li Mu explained:

"Just because you can't hit it now doesn't mean you can't hit it in the future."

"Informationized warfare is a war dominated by information, with information technology as its basic support, with informationized troops as its main force, and with informationized operations as its main combat method.

"One of its main features is the precision of firepower strikes. It can achieve beyond-visual-range combat and carry out precise strikes with D-bombs at ultra-long distances. Even if the enemy discovers this strike, they cannot intercept it."

He slowly explained the concept of information warfare to everyone bit by bit.

After all, many scientific and technological achievements are not yet available, and even the networks that are already under development are still in the experimental stage.

The powerful weapons and equipment that later generations have become accustomed to are not available now.

"If this is true, then in future wars, whoever takes the initiative first will win!" Qin Yun immediately grasped the key.

The eyes of other senior generals were also frighteningly bright.

If this can be realized, not to mention Emperor M, even if Big Brother were tied together, they might not be enough to defeat them.

Accurately strike the enemy's important strategic targets and maximize the deterrent effect.

Li Mu nodded in agreement:
"You are right. Compared with the traditional war mode, information warfare makes the battlefield transparent. Through the informationized combat platform, the battlefield situation can be grasped in real time and used."

"Moreover, it emphasizes the coordination between multiple arms to form a system confrontation, which is different from traditional combat that relies on the power, firepower and protection of a single weapon."

"To be frank, informationized warfare has an overwhelming advantage over traditional warfare!"

After he finished speaking.

After hearing this, the superiors, Qin Yun and others finally understood.

They might not quite understand what Li Mu was talking about those unheard-of technological weapons.

But all of them have been through hundreds of battles and have an extremely keen sense of who will win or lose on the battlefield.

The transparency of the battlefield means that all the movements of the army can be grasped at any time and anywhere, and commanded with ease.

And this transparency is not only directed at oneself, but also at opponents.

"Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will be victorious in every battle. Isn't that the truth of information warfare?" Qin Yun said with a smile.

Li Mu was surprised and thought that he was indeed Qin Yun. He said admiringly, "That's right, that's it."

The superior leader lit a cigarette and said thoughtfully:
"This war mode that exploits information asymmetry will inevitably change the pattern of all wars in the world in the future, and will have far-reaching significance and impact."

"Which country gets it first will have the dominant advantage in future wars."

"Your idea is great! It can forge an invincible blade for our country!"

His tone was full of emotion. If we can really hold this "sharp blade" in our hands, and with the support of the big mushroom, Xia Country will no longer have to fear any threat from any party in the international community.

"It is powerful, but it requires a lot of technological support. Given our current situation, it will probably take at least 15 years to achieve it," Li Mu said bluntly.

Given Xia's current situation, it is impossible to realize the model of information warfare.

Even for Emperor M and Big Brother, it is impossible.

Informationized warfare requires so much technology, and to a certain extent it is related to a country's comprehensive strength.

Without a strong industrial and economic base, a D-bomb launched in an information war would make them poor.

"15 years, can't it be shorter?" Qin Yun asked with a lingering feeling.

Li Mu shook his head and said, "This is already the ideal time."

Everyone couldn't help but feel disappointed when they heard this.

Information warfare is indeed very powerful.

But the crisis is imminent, and what they need more is powerful military weapons that can be used immediately.

"It can be achieved in 15 years. I think it's already very fast. And once it is achieved, our country's military strength will increase a lot!" The superior leader patted Li Mu's shoulder with a smile, breaking the silence.

He didn't think this time was long.

Because the information warfare model is indeed strong enough.

From his perspective, if it were to come true, even Big Brother and Emperor M combined might not be big enough.

So what if you have a lot of weapons? If you can destroy them all accurately before you even meet them, no matter how powerful the firepower is, it will be useless.

Qin Yun and a group of senior generals also reacted when they heard this and said quickly:
"The leader is right. We are overthinking it. Something as powerful as the informationized warfare model is not so easy to achieve casually."

"Yes, the comprehensive national strength of Emperor M and Big Brother is much stronger than ours, but they still can't do it. It is really impossible for us to do it in the short term."

"It's only 15 years, but it will make our army invincible on the world battlefield. It's worth it, Advisor Li. We are waiting for the day when the informationized warfare you proposed will be realized!"

……

Everyone spoke one after another, saying that 15 years was a suitable time, for fear that Li Mu would feel too much pressure.

After all, the hope of information warfare lies entirely on him.

It doesn’t matter if it’s slow, the key is to have it.

Seeing this, the superior leader also smiled and continued:
"Just follow your own ideas. We will not interfere with any of your research."

"As for the progress, it doesn't matter whether it's 15 years, 20 years, or 30 years."

"As long as it can be achieved, you will be the greatest contributor to our country. The people of the whole country will stand up straight because of you and will not be afraid of any threats!"

This young man already has a heavy burden on his shoulders.

An average person engages in scientific research throughout his lifetime and may produce three or four achievements at best, or seven or eight at best.

Even if they are geniuses among geniuses, having more than a dozen of them is already very good.

But Li Mu was only 23 years old, but he had achieved what many scientists could not achieve in their lifetime.

One can imagine the pressure they are under.

"As long as the country is strong, I will be satisfied. As for the rest, it is not important." Li Mu shook his head and said, "Please rest assured, leaders, I will never let you down!"

……

Afterwards, the superior encouraged Li Mu a few more words.

Soon he had to leave because of busy work.

Qin Yun and several senior generals were left behind to continue communicating with him.

After all, we have just been talking for a long time and have not yet mentioned what military weapons we are going to develop next.

"I plan to first develop a world-leading military ground radar based on the pulse Doppler radar technology that already has a certain foundation," said Li Mu.

Today's new pulse Doppler radar is technically capable of surpassing the M Emperor and Big Brother.

But in some aspects, it is still slightly insufficient.

"It's time to develop military ground radar. In this way, those enemies who dare to invade our airspace will be hit the hardest in the first place!" Qin Yun said with a smile.

Other senior generals also nodded.

The effect of the new pulse Doppler radar is obvious to all.

Ever since shooting down the U-2, the latest reconnaissance aircraft of the U.S. Army.

Until now, the transport captain could only keep condemning.

Recently, they did send two planes to fly along the coast, but they were directly captured by their radars and were so scared that they fled away crawling.

I heard that this incident made the transport team leader so angry that he was afraid of the table and even cursed "Fuck you".

Seeing that everyone seemed to have misunderstood, Li Mu smiled and said:
"Leaders, you have misunderstood. The ground radar I am talking about has more than just the three functions of detection, early warning and command."

"Instead, it is used to detect active targets on the ground, provide real-time intelligence and situation display surveillance radar; ground reconnaissance radar used for regional reconnaissance, fixed-point surveillance, border and coastal surveillance; ground-penetrating radar used to detect underground targets, etc."

"Based on the existing radar technology, combined with semiconductor technology and computer technology, the products made will be able to present the clearest real-time data more intuitively, and the effect will undoubtedly be more powerful!"

He mentioned several radars with different functions in one breath.

Qin Yun and a group of senior generals couldn't help but gasp when they heard this.

"If this surveillance radar and ground reconnaissance radar are put on the battlefield, wouldn't we be able to obtain the information advantage you just mentioned? It is indeed a powerful weapon!" Qin Yun couldn't help but exclaimed.

The other senior generals were also shocked.

They had only heard of M Emperor and Big Brother having such a multifunctional radar before, but had never seen one.

I can only watch with envy.

I didn’t expect that Li Mu would propose all the development plans in one breath!

"If you need anything, just tell me. I will ask the Chinese Academy of Sciences to fully support your research!" Qin Yun took a deep breath and said solemnly.

Anyone else would think this was a joke.

But Li Mu is different.

It can be said that the entire new pulse Doppler radar was developed by him alone.

He is definitely capable of building these radars.

"No wonder the leaders said we can't restrict your research, Consultant Li. You have developed so many radars with different uses in one go, both military and civilian. To say that this is unprecedented is definitely an understatement!" A senior general couldn't help but sigh.

The others also nodded.

If Big Brother and M Emperor knew about this ability to take on both military and civilian uses at once, they would be so envious that they would drool.

Facing everyone's praise.

Li Mu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said quickly:

"Dear leaders, in fact, even if I didn't propose these radars, I believe that the comrades in the Radar Research Institute would develop them quickly."

"Maybe, it's very likely that it's being developed."

"But no matter what, I believe that with our joint efforts, we can definitely develop these radars!"
