The Red Era, the Opening University Speech

Chapter 34 No matter how good you are, you are only a sophomore
"Our country's industrial foundation is weak and we lack too many things. It is very difficult to catch up!" Huang Xinhua sighed.

Qian Shuyan asked Li Mu again, "Li Mu, tell me, what do you think?"

Li Mu thought for a moment and said, "It's not an opinion. Industrialization is a process of accumulation and cannot be achieved overnight. All we can do is to speed up its progress and make the country prosperous and strong as soon as possible."

Qian Shuyan joked, "You're right. If only there were more geniuses like you, we could catch up with Emperor M and surpass Big Brother sooner!"

Huang Xinhua nodded on the side.

"Dean, and Professor Huang, please stop praising me. I don't have that ability." Li Mu was ashamed.

Qian Shuyan said: "Skills are gained through deeds, not words. Which professor in the academy doesn't know your skills?"

"By the way, the college's journal is planning to publish a paper on halogen lamps. Are you interested in submitting it?"

"Actually, Zhang Kai and Li Jian can also do this." Li Mu shook his head and refused.

Qian Shuyan disagreed, "Although they are the ones making the halogen lamp, you are the key. If you let only the two of them do it, something might go wrong."

"Well, the three of you can work on it together. When the time comes, you'll be the first author, and the other two can be put as second or third."

"You two have such a good relationship, I can understand that you take care of me, but when it comes to credit, you still have to divide it clearly."

"This... okay." Li Mu hesitated for a moment and agreed.

It would be strange to refuse further.

Qian Shuyan then smiled and said, "Okay, that's right."

At this time, Huang Xinhua suggested: "Dean, I think we can also let Li Mu publish an article on 'Research on the equipment for growing non-dislocation single crystals by the Czochralski method' in the National Journal of Mechanical Engineering."

"This will not only provide direction for the research of the domestic semiconductor industry, but also win honor for our school."

Qian Shuyan hesitated and said, "This is a confidential technology after all, and if it is discovered, it is difficult to guarantee that Li Mu will not be noticed by those with ulterior motives."

He cares more about Li Mu's safety than the school's honor.

"It is just to provide ideas and broaden the thinking of practitioners across the country. It is not necessary to put all the information about single crystal furnaces online." Huang Xinhua said and looked at Li Mu.

As the inventor, Li Mu certainly cannot avoid this matter.

Li Mu gritted his teeth and said, "Of course I can, but I'm just afraid my level is not good enough..."

"We have already made the single crystal furnace. If your skills are still not up to par, then I am not up to par either," Huang Xinhua joked.

Qian Shuyan made the decision and said, "That's settled! Li Mu, just write it down. If you're still not sure about it, let Professor Huang check it for you."

……

The three of them chatted for a while to finalize the two papers.

Huang Xinhua was talking, and suddenly said: "My two graduate students are hardworking, but they lack talent. If they had half of Li Mu's ability, I would be satisfied."

As he spoke, Huang Xinhua kept looking at Li Mu.

In fact, there is no one who has no talent if he can study for a master's degree. They are all geniuses.

However, these geniuses pale in comparison to Li Mu.

Qian Shuyan saw what Huang Xinhua meant and immediately smiled and said, "Li Mu hasn't chosen a supervisor yet. If he is willing, he can study with you in advance."

Upon hearing this, Huang Xinhua looked at Li Mu with anticipation.

Li Mu was full of rejection. What level was he at? Why did he still want to take the postgraduate entrance examination?

"I wonder what research direction your research group is working on, Professor Huang?" Li Mu pretended to be interested, but his mind was actually racing, trying to find a reason to refuse.

Huang Xinhua said: "The domestic semiconductor industry is just in its infancy. We in the industry are all crossing the river by feeling the stones. We need to know a little bit about everything."

"To be specific, I have some experience in semiconductor process principles - silicon epitaxial preparation process." "Since you can design a single crystal furnace, you should have some knowledge. How about it? Are you interested?"

Li Mu really wanted to tell Huang Xinhua that he didn't understand and had no interest.

The single crystal furnace alone is enough to give him a headache, and now he is dealing with the silicon epitaxial preparation process.

Li Mu wanted to refuse immediately, but before he could finish his words, he suddenly realized, "According to my character setting, I can't refuse at this time!"

Huang Xinhua is not only a professor at Beijing Institute of Technology, but also one of the leading experts in the field of semiconductors in China and is quite famous among students.

If he takes the initiative to invite them, basically no student will refuse such an opportunity.

Li Mu sighed inwardly and could only reluctantly agree: "Professor Huang, you are a leader in the academic world. It is my honor to study with you."

"But I'm not that deep into semiconductor research, so I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you."

Qian Shuyan couldn't help but smile when he heard this. Li Mu didn't understand the huge value of the single crystal furnace. Even the domestic experts couldn't make that thing.

Huang Xinhua laughed and said, "You are too modest. Now that you have designed a single crystal furnace, I may want to ask you for advice later!"

"Professor Huang, you are joking." Li Mu was embarrassed.

……

After finalizing the matter, Huang Xinhua and Qian Shuyan said goodbye in a hurry, and then couldn't wait to pull Li Mu to the laboratory.

The school's laboratory building is built beside a small lake surrounded by lush trees and the surrounding area is very quiet.

It was Li Mu’s first time here and he looked around curiously.

"Li Mu, this way." Huang Xinhua called out when he saw Li Mu falling behind.

Entering the laboratory building, Huang Xinhua took Li Mu to the door of a laboratory on the second floor.

Huang Xinhua pushed open the door, and a room filled with various materials and precision instruments neatly arranged came into view.

There were two other people in the laboratory, one was tall and thin, and the other was slightly short and fat.

When the two saw Huang Xinhua come in, they did not put down the work in their hands and continued to concentrate on doing their tasks.

Huang Xinhua nodded to the two men with satisfaction, and then introduced them to Li Mu: "These are your two senior brothers, one is Liu Ze and the other is Wang Yang. If you have any problems in the future, just look for them."

"Okay." Li Mu nodded.

After a while, Liu Ze and Wang Yang finished their experiments, came over and asked, "Teacher, why are you here? This is..."

"Li Mu, you will come to the laboratory in the future and join us in the research." He said after receiving the message.

Hearing the name Li Mu, Liu Ze and Wang Yang nodded at first, and then suddenly showed surprised expressions.

"Is it that Li Mu?" Liu Ze couldn't help but ask.

All the teachers and students at Beijing Institute of Technology, even if they have never seen Li Mu in person, have at least heard of Li Mu's name.

With the achievements of the two-way electric drill and halogen lamp, it is no exaggeration to say that it is unmatched.

Huang Xinhua smiled and said, "It's him."

Liu Ze and Wang Yang were even more surprised when they received the affirmation.

Even though Li Mu has come up with so many things, he is only a sophomore. It is too early for him to follow Huang Xinhua to do experiments now!
"Hello, Senior Brother Liu, Hello, Senior Brother Wang, please give me your guidance in the future." Li Mu greeted them.

Huang Xinhua couldn't help but teased: "Don't underestimate Li Mu, he is just humble, but he is very capable, you should all learn from him."

"Ah?" Liu Ze and Wang Yang were dumbfounded. They couldn't help but complain in their hearts: "No matter how good you are, you are just a sophomore."
