The Red Era, the Opening University Speech

Chapter 339: Big Brother and Emperor M should be the scapegoats first
Beijing University of Science and Technology.

A welcome banner was hung near the school gate early in the morning.

The ribbons are fluttering and the red flags are waving.

Guards were deployed 300 meters away to strictly ensure the smooth progress of today's academic exchange meeting.

The students who came to greet them filled the entire street.

Even in today's academic exchange meeting, they cannot directly participate.

But it did not affect their enthusiasm at all.

Seeing the car coming around the corner, the students rushed forward, causing the car to move very slowly.

Li Mu simply asked Guan Jianmin to stop the car.

Then he opened the car door and got out.

He greeted loudly, "Hello, classmates!"

"Hello, Consultant Li!" The students responded enthusiastically and burst into cheers.

General Zhao, Wang Lujun and Shen Xue got out of the car right after him, and followed behind him, protecting him from different positions to eliminate any blind spots for attack.

Facing the cheers of the crowd.

Li Mu led the three of them to the school gate.

Only then did he see Guo Mo, Zhou Peiyuan, Mao Yisheng and other faculty members who were blocked by students.

And a group of famous academic leaders.

The lineup is nothing short of luxurious.

"Welcome Consultant Li to our HKUST for guidance. Your arrival brings honor to our entire school!" Guo Mo joked with a smile.

Li Mu was helpless and said, "It's just an academic exchange. There's no need to make such a scene. It will also delay the students' study time."

"The experts and professors who came to attend the exchange meeting just wanted to meet you, Consultant Li, earlier. As for the students, they all came here on their own initiative. The school just put up a banner at most." Guo Mo spread his hands, indicating that this was none of his business.

Zhou Peiyuan, Mao Yisheng and others nodded in agreement.

Li Mu has been refusing visitors these two days, which has made them very anxious.

……

Everyone exchanged brief greetings.

Then enter the school.

There were still many students inside, shouting Li Mu's name and greeting him.

After taking a few steps, he had to stop and give some response.

Otherwise it always feels impolite.

I was sent to the entrance of the administrative building of Beijing University of Science and Technology.

Before entering the conference room, Li Mu turned around and said:
"My fellow students, I am honored that you all came to welcome me."

"But I hope you can spend your time studying."

“Time is money. You are at the best and most efficient age to learn knowledge. You should cherish this precious time.”

After hearing his words, the students fell silent.

Then there was a thunderous applause.

The crowd also began to disperse gradually.

"Consultant Li, what you said is very good. As expected of someone who has achieved so much at such a young age, he must be very self-disciplined." Zhou Peiyuan on the side said with a smile.

Mao Yisheng took over the conversation and said, "There are many people who are self-disciplined, but it is rare to find someone who can achieve the same level of success as Consultant Li."

"Stop, stop, please stop praising me. I feel embarrassed." Li Mu hurriedly stopped them.

This reaction made everyone laugh.

……

Enter the large conference room.

There are more people inside.

Most of them are experts and professors over 35 years old, and there are hardly any young faces to be seen.

And they have already started communicating, and the atmosphere is very intense.

However, with the arrival of Li Mu and his party.

The noisy voices disappeared in an instant, and countless eyes were focused on him.

In name, it is an academic exchange meeting for everyone to express their opinions.

But everyone knows that Li Mu is the protagonist today.

In order to seize the opportunity to ask questions first, some people have been moving towards his position intentionally or unintentionally.

Just by his side.

Guo Mo, Zhou Peiyuan and Mao Yisheng, together with a group of academic bigwigs, have already packed the space with basically no space left.

No matter how crowded it is, there are still three or four people between us.

"Come on, Consultant Li, sit here." Everyone took Li Mu to sit in the center of the conference room.

I was supposed to give a speech.

However, all the experts and professors felt that it was too long-winded and a waste of time, so they simply suggested skipping it and getting straight to the point.

The group sat down around a long table made up of tables.

Although there are still discussions among the experts and professors around.

But everyone's attention was turned here.

Guo Mo looked at everyone and asked, "Which professor would like to start?"

"Let me start the conversation by asking you a question, Consultant Li." An old professor immediately raised his hand.

No one tried to argue and waited for him to ask questions.

The old professor said:

"Let me introduce myself first. My name is Wu Ronglin. I'm a professor at Kyoto University of Aeronautics and Astronautics. I've been researching wind tunnels for half my life."

"Since I learned that you created software engineering, I have admired you very much."

"I think you are also involved in the design of computer simulation platforms. I would like to ask you if it is possible to simulate the wind tunnel using a computer?"

After he finished speaking, he looked at Li Mu with sharp eyes.

The essence of a computer simulation platform is to simulate the real environment and optimize the relevant data of the research project through simulation, thereby avoiding material and energy consumption in actual operation.

Therefore, it was not beyond Li Mu's expectations that someone would come up with the idea of ​​using it to simulate wind tunnels or even other things.

He nodded and said:

"Of course, and it is also one of the research directions for future software engineering development."

"Computer simulation has obvious advantages in cost-effectiveness, flexibility, repeatability and accuracy."

“It can adjust model parameters or wind tunnel conditions multiple times to simulate different scenarios without having to re-run physical wind tunnel experiments, saving a lot of time and cost and speeding up design iterations…”

Li Mu listed many advantages of computer simulation wind tunnel one by one.

The eyes of the people around lit up when they heard this, and they couldn’t wait to see the finished product.

"So what you mean is that the wind tunnel we are studying now will eventually be replaced by the simulation wind tunnel?" Wu Ronglin continued to ask.

But there was inevitably a hint of decadence in his tone.

He once presided over the construction of Xiaguo's first 1.2-meter loop-type low-speed wind tunnel, and has been committed to the development of wind tunnels.

I didn't expect that the final result would sooner or later be replaced by the simulated wind tunnel.

"No, the simulated wind tunnel is only a supplement to the actual wind tunnel and will never dominate. At least not within a hundred years," Li Mu replied.

This answer aroused everyone's interest and they asked further questions.

He continued:

“No matter how realistic the computer simulation is, it is difficult to fully replicate real-world data. Only by testing in an actual wind tunnel can we ensure that there will be no problems.”

“Ideally, a simulated wind tunnel should be used for multiple iterations and optimization of the design, and then a physical wind tunnel should be used for final verification.”

"Only by complementing each other can we ensure that nothing goes wrong."

In later generations, the development direction of wind tunnels.

The Xia Kingdom and Emperor M took different paths.

The latter believes that simulated wind tunnels can completely replace actual wind tunnels.

Under the advice of Master Qian Wu, they still insisted on building a group of wind tunnels, providing a more realistic environment and data support for the testing of future hypersonic aircraft. It was precisely because of this decision that Xiaguo was able to achieve a world-shocking Mach 42.

They also told the rest of the world where they were going to launch their intercontinental D missiles, but no country had the capability to intercept them.

"I see. As expected of Consultant Li, he thinks much further ahead than we do." Wu Ronglin and other experts and professors all praised him.

They have seen how powerful software engineering is.

If anyone else said this, no one would believe it.

But as the creator, Li Mu said, the persuasiveness is at its maximum.

What is even more commendable is Li Mu's spirit of admitting his own shortcomings, which is truly admirable.

……

One question ends.

Soon, another expert stood up and asked:
"Counselor Li, do you think software engineering can help our country realize the automation of industrial production?"

“And how will it achieve this automation?”

"And what is your attitude towards its development? Now universities across the country are preparing to set up software engineering majors. Do we need so many software engineering talents?"

His problem is quite ordinary.

However, Li Mu still answered carefully:
"In the short term, our country does not have the foundation to realize industrial automation. To achieve this, we need further economic and social development."

“When the time is right, all industries will automatically enter the process of production automation.”

"As for the need for software engineering talents, it will continue to exist in the next few decades. It will gradually spread from research institutes to universities, then to factories and companies, and then to society..."

He didn't raise the most crucial question.

--price.

After all, for the time being, we still have to treat Big Brother and even Emperor M as the scapegoat.

If they knew that Xia Guo's computers were so cheap, it would not be convenient for future transactions.

……

After answering the question from the expert just now.

The crowd continued to ask questions.

From the field of mechanical engineering, to the field of semiconductors, to the field of computing technology, to the field of transportation, to the field of communications...

Each professor asked questions to Li Mu from his or her own professional perspective.

They saw the technological development brought by Li Mu.

And based on this, we are thinking about whether we can bring innovation to our own field.

This process is not easy.

After all, they don't have answers to copy, so they can only explore slowly.

"But I can give them a direction." Li Mu answered while thinking secretly in his heart.

The benefits of the "all-rounder" image that he had established were finally apparent.

Even if he was speaking casually in front of a group of old experts and professors who have been working in their respective fields for decades.

No one thought there was anything wrong.

On the contrary, they think that he has novel ideas, is very creative and imaginative.

……

After a day of communication.

The guests and hosts enjoy themselves.

It was just a pity for Li Mu, as he had to talk all day without stopping.

Fortunately, Shen Xue and Wang Lujun were smart and brought him some water from time to time, so he could take a chance to catch his breath.

At night.

After having dinner in the cafeteria of HKUST.

He returned home to rest amid the reluctant gazes of experts and professors.

"There are still two days left!" Li Mu, who was sitting in the car, couldn't help but sigh.

This complaint made Wang Lujun and Shen Xue, who were sitting next to him, look at him in a subtle way.

Why does Consultant Li seem a little different from what they imagined?
Guan Jianmin, who was driving, and Zhao Canjun, who was sitting in the passenger seat, didn't have so many concerns.

The two of them laughed out loud.

"I see you are very happy. You answer all the questions." said General Zhao.

Guan Jianmin knew what he was thinking and said:

"Although it has delayed some research time, I think your participation in this academic exchange meeting will be very helpful to the improvement of our country's overall scientific research level."

"I see that many experts and professors have been inspired by you."

"The notebook in my hand is filled with several pages!"

Now it doesn’t matter whether I am familiar with Li Mu or not.

Basically everyone knows his habits.

When communicating with him, I always have a notebook at hand in case I don't have time to record.

"We're just learning from each other. I've also gained a lot, but I haven't had time to write it down. I will write it down when I go back." Li Mu looked at Wang Lujun and Shen Xue beside him, and then said.

He still has to be humble in front of young people.

Unexpectedly, he had just finished speaking.

Shen Xue said, "Advisor Li, you can look at my notes. I have written down everything you and others said."

As she spoke, she took out a notebook from her shoulder bag, opened it and handed it over.

"I wrote it down too." Wang Lujun also quickly took out his notebook.

Although the two people's notes are in different styles.

But you can see that it was done with care.

Li Mu praised them and said, "Well done."

"By the way, what major did you graduate from? Why did you want to come and be my secretary instead of going to research institute?" he asked.

In fact, he wanted to ask this question this morning.

I was just in a hurry to hold the exchange meeting, so it has been delayed until now.

Wang Lujun spoke first:

"Advisor Li, you and I studied the same major, mechanical engineering."

"But my grades are average, so the best I can do is go to a local research institute, which doesn't quite match my ideal."

"So I want to learn from you, hoping to make progress."

There is a hint of modesty in this statement.

To be able to enter graduate school, even if it is just a local one, one’s grades must be extraordinary.

It's just a local research institute, and its resources cannot be compared with those in Kyoto.

And there is basically little room for improvement.

But it’s different following Li Mu.

As a nationally renowned scientific research leader, the effect of learning from him is even better than Wang Lujun’s own decades of hard study.

"Good, you have ambition." Li Mu patted the latter's shoulder and encouraged him with a smile.

He wasn't surprised.

After all, it is really a waste of talent for a college student to be his secretary.

——You can find an opportunity to train her later.

Shen Xue continued:
"I also want to learn from you, Consultant Li."

“I’m a computer technology major, but I’m already a senior, so I don’t have the opportunity to switch to software engineering.”

"If I go directly to the research institute, I can only go to a local research institute, so..."

At the end, she felt a little embarrassed.

"Don't feel embarrassed. It's a good thing to have motivation to learn. I will do my best to help you." Li Mu said with a smile.
