The Red Era, the Opening University Speech

Chapter 341 Northwest would like to invite you to come over

Half a month passed slowly.

Li Mu's research is progressing in an orderly manner.

News about the academic exchange meeting.

It also reached Emperor M.

Now they really couldn't sit still.

The top intelligence officials held a meeting overnight to discuss the possibility that Li Mu had connections with Hetu and Tiangong.

Some people even suggested that it is better to kill someone by mistake than to let him go.

But within a few seconds, someone spitted back at him.

What if this is a bait thrown by Xia Guo?

Their intelligence network in Xia State will undoubtedly suffer a devastating blow.

Although it's not to the point of total collapse.

But it will be difficult to recover within at least 5 years.

By then, even if Hetu and Tiangong blatantly exposed their identities, they might not have the strength to deal with them.

I checked, but couldn't find anything.

Chasing technology, but unable to catch up.

For a moment, everyone felt helpless.

Just then, a smart guy came up with an idea and said, "How about we contact Xia Country and try to trade technology?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of people looked at him with cold eyes.

He said quickly: "No, it's definitely not possible. How could the great Emperor M trade technology with the Xia Kingdom?"

Only then did everyone look back.

But there were also some people whose expressions changed slightly.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, instead of letting the Red Alliance reap all the benefits of Xia Country, it would be better for them to have a share as well.

Anyway, the price you have to pay is nothing more than a pile of junk that has been discarded domestically.

Even if Xia Guo got it, it would not be possible to catch up with their industrial development level in a short period of time.

But the Red Alliance is different.

This powerful rival who was competing with them for supremacy acquired Xia Country's advanced technology.

No one knows to what extent it can develop.

And the longer it goes on, the more frightening it becomes.

Who knows what the Red Alliance is researching with technology that they don’t even understand.

……

Kyoto.

In the small garden downstairs.

The sun is just right.

Li Mu, who was forced to take another forced vacation, was taking a walk with Wang Ya.

However, the tension in his heart had eased a lot compared to half a month ago.

Although I was extremely busy during this period, I was able to get the development of various materials for radiation protection clothing and the scanning tunneling microscope back on track.

Although the latter was castrated again and again.

But achieving basic atomic manipulation is not a big problem.

The only disadvantage is that the efficiency is as slow as a turtle.

"Okay, take a break and still frown." Wang Ya suddenly stopped, stretched out her hand, and smoothed Li Mu's forehead.

Feel her cold fingers.

Li Mu held her hand and said:
"Okay, I don't want to think about it anymore."

"By the way, it's a rare break, do you want to go home and take a look?"

"Mom must miss you too."

"Okay, then let's go to the department store and buy you some new clothes." Wang Ya smiled, and her plain face was particularly bright in the sun.

The whole person seemed to be shining.

Li Mu couldn't help but gave her a kiss.

"What are you doing? You're outside!" Wang Ya's face instantly turned red to her neck, as if it was stained with a layer of pink haze.

Hearing this, Li Mu smiled and said, "We are a legal couple, there is nothing to be embarrassed about. Besides, where is there anyone here?"

But that's what it says.

But in his heart he actually felt that it was a bit too reckless.

After all, this is the era, and this is a special building, two familiar faces may jump out at any time.

Just when he thought so.

Suddenly, a weak voice sounded behind them: "Am I here at the wrong time?"

Hear this voice.

Wang Ya let out a low “ah”.

Then he turned around quickly, not daring to look at the person who was coming.

"It's okay, just tell me what's the matter." Li Mu looked at Guan Jianmin helplessly.

This is the second time. You really know how to seize the time.

Guan Jianmin said quickly:

"It's like this. Professor Deng from the northwest sent a telegram, saying that he wants to invite you to come over and help solve some problems."

"The higher-ups have approved it and given the authority."

"As long as you nod, you can go. Of course, it's okay if you refuse. It's not a mandatory research task."

Hear the news.

Li Mu was stunned.

Go northwest.

Doesn't that mean participating in the research and development of the giant mushroom?
Thinking of this, he felt the blood in his body boiling.

"What time?" Li Mu asked directly without any hesitation.

Guan Jianmin said: "The higher-ups mean as soon as possible. If you agree now, we can arrange a special train to the northwest right away."

"No problem, right downstairs..." Li Mu was about to agree directly, but suddenly remembered that he had just promised to accompany Wang Ya back to see her mother.

He then said: "Give me an hour."

"No, research is more important." Wang Ya shook her head and refused.

Although she didn't know what the research was about, she could roughly guess that it must be a very important project.

Li Mu said, "It's okay. It won't take a while. Jianmin, go drive."

After saying that, he took Wang Ya's hand and went back home to pack his luggage.

……

Afterwards, Li Mu first took Wang Ya to her mother's side.

After sitting at home for less than half an hour, he stood up and said goodbye with an apologetic look on his face.

Wang Ya's mother was not angry. She said a few words of concern and then let him leave.

After all, this son-in-law is so outstanding that no one can find any fault with him.

A nationally renowned scientist.

Just because of this title, she has endless topics to talk about every day in the slum.

Of course, it's not without troubles.

Wang Ya's mother asked worriedly: "Xiao Ya, you have been married for half a year, why is there no movement in your stomach? Could it be..."

"Mom, what are you talking about? We just don't want it yet. We'll consider it when we're not busy with research." When Wang Ya heard this, she quickly interrupted her mother.

In this era, having children is still very important.

If a woman has not given birth to a child, she will easily be criticized.

She was also worried that Li Mu would mind her wanting to have a baby later.

After nervously expressing his thoughts.

Li Mu hoped to have a baby later than he did.

He also said, "Now is the time when our physical and mental strength are at their peak, so it won't be too late to have children in a few years."

Wang Ya's mother sighed and said, "Forget it, forget it. You have your own considerations, and I won't force you."

She was only worried that her silly daughter was too busy with research to have children.

Since Li Mu and Wang Ya both mean this, there is no problem.

……

Kyoto Train Station.

After the guards imposed martial law, the station was now empty.

The special train had already stopped at the platform early.

As soon as Li Mu arrives, we can set off directly.

When he got off the train, Wang Lujun and Shen Xue were already waiting at the platform entrance.

Together with Zhao Canjun and Guan Jianmin, the entire service team will follow him to the northwest. However, Li Mu was a little surprised.

The person in charge of the escort turned out to be Zhao Suzhen, whom he had only met once.

The latter saw him, stepped forward and saluted, saying, "Hello, Consultant Li Mu, I am Zhao Suzhen, the director of the Security Committee, and I am responsible for all security work for your trip."

"Director Zhao, are you coming here in person?" Li Mu was a little surprised.

After all, the other party is a director of some size, and is a violent agency like the Security Committee.

Even if the higher-ups value him, they wouldn't send him here to protect me.

Zhao Suzhen smiled and said, "Yes, but I will only be responsible for half of the journey. I will not be with you when I come back."

After he finished speaking, he said no more.

But this was enough for Li Mu to guess something.

Most of them are here to hitch a ride in order to carry out some special mission.

"I see. That's great. We can chat on the way and help relieve boredom. Please come in." Li Mu smiled and made a gesture of invitation.

Zhao Suzhen also laughed and said:

"Sure, the opportunity to communicate with you, Consultant Li, is something many people would love to have."

"But you go first."

"It would be better for me to walk behind."

When facing Li Mu, even the head of their Security Committee had to be polite.

He naturally didn't want to go in front.

"Okay, let's hurry up." Li Mu didn't refuse, nodded slightly, and walked onto the special train first.

The layout inside is similar to the last time.

After assigning the room.

He then went to the conference room in the middle.

……

Not long after.

The train started and slowly headed northwest.

Li Mu sat at the table in the conference room with a stack of notes he brought with him, writing and drawing non-stop.

The others also tacitly agreed not to interrupt.

For a moment, the carriage was so quiet that the only sound was the "clang clang" of the moving train.

However, the special train has been specially designed so the noise is not loud.

At least there was no way to wake Li Mu up from his research.

……

Until dinner time in the evening.

Guan Jianmin walked forward and tapped the table twice with his fingers, and then he came back to his senses from reviewing atomic physics and other materials related to the development of giant mushrooms.

Rubbing his swollen temple, he asked casually, "Have you eaten?"

"Well, there are braised pork and sweet and sour spare ribs..." Guan Jianmin began to list the dishes.

The meals for the special train are prepared by special chefs.

It's just that he's not in their carriage, so usually you don't see him there.

Li Mu felt hungry when he heard the name. His appetite was aroused. He stood up and said, "Let's eat."

As he spoke, he headed towards the dining area.

Wang Lujun and Shen Xue were setting the table.

When she saw him coming, she greeted him respectfully and prepared to go to the kitchen to get her meal.

This is Li Mu's special meal, they cannot eat it.

"It's so troublesome running around. Let's eat together and it will be more lively. I often can't finish the meal by myself anyway." Li Mu waved his hand and forced the two to sit down.

Zhao Suzhen, who was standing by, couldn't help but be stunned.

Turning around, I saw Guan Jianmin and General Zhao sitting down without being asked, as if they were familiar with the place.

"Director Zhao?" Li Mu looked up at Zhao Suzhen who was still standing.

The latter didn't act pretentiously and just sat down and started eating.

……

After a meal, everyone became familiar with each other.

Of course, mainly with Zhao Suzhen.

After all, apart from him, the oldest person present was only twenty-five or twenty-six years old.

Although on the surface Li Mu has the highest status.

But with him watching, everyone couldn't help but feel uncomfortable.

Perhaps realizing this, Zhao Suzhen began to talk about the interesting things that happened during his military career.

Just a few words attracted everyone's attention.

Judging from his age, he is about 40 years old.

To be able to catch up with the position of Director of the Security Committee, he has made countless contributions and experienced countless life-threatening moments:

"The gun was pointed at my forehead, and the bullet pierced my head. Fortunately, I was faster and killed him with a few punches. I was lucky enough to survive..."

Zhao Suzhen took off his hat as he spoke.

There is an obvious scar on the hair at the temple, which is very deep.

Obviously, the situation at that time was definitely not as easy as he said now.

"You are a hero of our country!" Li Mu couldn't help but stand in awe after hearing his story.

Zhao Suzhen waved his hand and said:

"I'm not a hero. I just know how to fight."

"Scientists like you are the future of the country."

“Only you can make the country stronger and the people’s lives happier.”

As he spoke, he suddenly remembered something and looked out the train window.

It was already evening.

The surroundings were silent and the moon was bright high in the sky.

On the endless plain, the heavy ears of wheat surged up into waves with the night wind, making a pleasant "rustling" sound.

Zhao Suzhen pointed at the wheat ears and said:

"This is my hometown. Every piece of land is fertilized with our country's latest chemical fertilizers and pesticides. I heard that the yield per acre has increased by nearly 30% compared to before!"

"Do you know how many people this can feed? At least tens of millions. This is the power of science!"

"So I admire you very much, Consultant Li. It is you who feed the farmers who never have enough to eat on the loess land, and give them hope of having enough to eat!"

Follow the direction of his finger.

Li Mu looked and seemed to see an old farmer working day and night in the fields.

They looked at the fields full of wheat ears, and satisfied smiles appeared on their wrinkled faces.

Full.

What a plain and simple wish.

But in the past, it was a luxury that ordinary people could never realize in their lifetime.

Are they not working hard enough?

Obviously not.

They have worked hard in the fields all their lives, watering every inch of land under their feet with their sweat.

But the food they grow never belongs to them.

until……

Li Mu suddenly looked towards the east.

Under the clear night sky, I seemed to see again the majestic figure of the superior leader bowing his head over his desk, worrying day and night about the fate of the country and the people.

If it weren’t for the new world he opened up.

Even if he had a chat page, there was a high probability that he would die in the cannibalistic society of the past.

Thinking of this, Li Mu sighed:

"Everything I did was just icing on the cake."

"It has never been me who really ensured that everyone had enough food to eat."

"It is the superior leaders, the countless martyrs, and the thousands of great martyrs and comrades who practiced their ideals!"

……

Strange to say.

When Li Mu was in college in his previous life, there was always a roommate who liked to engage in passionate keyboard politics every night.

Moreover, the content of the discussion is worthy of being shot ten times.

Although he did not participate, he sometimes felt that what was said made sense.

But now that I think about it, I was probably just bored.

If we go back to this era, people would behave themselves after going hungry for a few meals.
