The Red Era, the Opening University Speech

Chapter 342: Finding a Solution in Petrochemicals

After returning to the room.

Li Mu thought about it and opened the chat page.

Then search the WiFi list.

Tonight's conversation made him realize his impatience.

His successes one after another allowed him to take bigger and bigger steps.

Without any foundation, he dared to make a bold statement that he would develop a drone in 15 years.

How much money and manpower will this cost?

"It's not that we can't do it, but we can't force it." Li Mu secretly warned himself.

Even though he had intended to suppress it, he still invested a lot of resources in it because he knew how powerful drones were.

However, these investments will not yield returns in the short term.

“Now that I’m a little richer, I still need to be frugal and use the money and resources where they are more needed.” Li Mu began to plan in his mind.

For example, solving electricity problems.

Xia is still a country with extreme electricity shortage.

In many places, there is still no electricity.

Another example is dealing with the problem of growing rice in saline-alkali land.

If this technology can be developed.

This is equivalent to creating a large piece of arable land out of thin air, which will undoubtedly greatly alleviate the problem of food shortage.

Another example……

……

three days later.

In the northwest, the desert is like smoke.

The train passed through stretches of yellow land and finally stopped at Chang'an Railway Station.

Before the special train arrived.

The train attendants at the station cooperated with teams of armed guards in advance to check the entire station inside and out several times.

Then, stand on the platform and wait for the arrival of guests.
The webmaster Liu Bo was also standing among them.

But at this moment, he was looking at the long train tracks in the distance, feeling a little uneasy.

This morning, he suddenly received a call.

He claimed to be a provincial leader and said that there was an important confidential mission that required his assistance.

He cursed back at that time.

He even hung up the phone before the other party could retort.

——But who would have thought that my dear grandmother is actually a senior leader.

As soon as he finished cursing, a group of guards came knocking on his door.

Then he took out the documents directly issued by the review department, cleared the station, and prepared to welcome the important personnel coming from Kyoto.

I have been so busy until now that I finally have time to take a breath.

"I just hope that the leader will forgive my offense because I have worked hard even though I have no merits." Liu Bo prayed in his heart.

Just when he was lost in thought.

Suddenly, a hand patted his shoulder.

"Go away, don't bother me, I'm annoyed." The webmaster cursed without even turning his head.

But just after he finished cursing, he felt a chill all over his body.

When he turned his head, he was instantly shocked.

Several leaders of the county government were all present.

And leading the way was a very familiar face.

Senior leader - Jiao Huizhong.

He remembered it clearly because he had met him once before.

It’s just that they were too far away and couldn’t hear Jiao Huizhong’s voice.

Otherwise, I wouldn't be unable to recognize the voice.

"Leader." Liu Bo uttered the two words dryly from his throat and forced an ugly smile on his face.

Jiao Huizhong looked at him and said, "Stationmaster Liu, please stand a little further back and make room for everyone."

"Ah?" Liu Bo was stunned for a moment.

There was no time to think clearly about the meaning of Jiao Huizhong's words.

He heard the whistle of an incoming train in the distance.

"Here they come!" The person who shouted was the deputy leader of the prefecture and county.

The voice just fell.

A group of senior Changan leaders rushed onto the platform.

Even Jiao Huizhong was no exception and could not hide her excitement on her face.

Than the joy that will be brought by the one who is about to bring.

Even the anger caused by Liu Bo's scolding in the morning had dissipated a lot.

After a while, the train slowly stopped.

In Liu Bo’s eyes that were almost wide open.

A young man was the first to get off the train.

It looks familiar.

Looks more familiar than Jiao Huizhong.

He also discovered that the moment he saw the young man, the judge's face was as bright as a chrysanthemum.

"Consultant Li, welcome to Chang'an!" Jiao Huizhong said the young man's name with a big laugh.

At the same time, the honor guard that had appeared on the platform at some point in time played cheerful music.

When he heard the name, Liu Bo finally remembered.

His eyes rolled, and he quickly stepped forward and shouted, "Welcome Consultant Li to Chang'an!"

Everyone shouted along.

……

Li Mu felt a headache looking at the welcoming scene in front of him.

Before coming here, he had clearly asked Guan Jianmin to report the matter to his superiors and not to notify local authorities.

In the end, he couldn't escape and was caught red-handed.

He waved his hands helplessly and said:
"Dear leaders, you are so polite. I am just passing by."

Jiao Huizhong smiled and said:
"It's nothing, Consultant Li, don't worry about it. We are just here to express the Guanzhong people's welcome to you."

"Just do what you want, we won't bother you."

"Of course, if you are done with your work and want to take a break in Guanzhong and experience the local customs and practices, I can also be your guide."

As he spoke, his tone was very polite.

If it weren’t for his self-introduction and the Zhongshan suit he was wearing.

I'm afraid no one would think that the old man with his face wrinkled by the wind and sand is the chief judge of the first trial.

"I came here in a hurry this time and really don't have any extra time to arrange things. I will definitely come to bother you if I have the chance in the future." Li Mu thought about it and did not refuse directly.

He knows the other party's purpose.

I just really haven't figured out how to help.

Jiao Huizhong felt a little unwilling when he heard this.

However, due to the above requirements and the special nature of the other party's mission, it is not easy to just keep the person here.

At this moment, Liu Bo, who had been unknown all this time, suddenly gritted his teeth and said:

"Advisor Li, no matter where you are going, I suggest you take a night's rest and get enough rest before setting off again.

"The further west we go, the worse the weather will get."

"Even if you take the bus, you will be exhausted. If you leave right after getting off the train, it will not be worth it if you get tired on the way."

He didn't dare to pause for a moment, for fear of being interrupted suddenly.

But even after saying this, I still felt uneasy.

"This..." Li Mu turned his head and looked at Guan Jianmin and General Zhao behind him.

It wasn't a big problem for the two of them, after all, they had sat on it once before.

But Wang Lujun and Shen Xue looked a little unhappy. Even if the special car was comfortable, it would be inevitable to feel a little uncomfortable after sitting in it for four days.

He's fine.

But after all, we are going to the hinterland of the northwest, and will pass through large areas of uninhabited areas.

If something goes wrong, it really won't be worth it.

Thinking of this, Li Mu nodded and said:
"Then we will rest for a night before setting off again. Thank you for your help, leader."

"It's not a trouble. How could it be a trouble? It's an honor for all of us that you can stay in Chang'an!" Jiao Huizhong said with a smile on his face.

As for Liu Bo scolding him.

That's not a big deal.

If he had the ability to keep Li Mu for a few more days, it would be fine to scold him a few more times.

Looking at Jiao Huizhong who was full of expectations.

Li Mu felt helpless.

What happens next will probably be the same as what happened in Sichuan.

It’s just that the scientific research foundation here is too weak, and it’s impossible to copy the model there.

"Let's just fool around for now, and then come back and see if we can come up with another solution." Li Mu thought to himself.

……

The provincial government yard.

At the entrance, senior leader Wen Xiazhang and the presidents of Chang'an universities were eagerly waiting.

When he saw the convoy of cars coming, his heart suddenly rose to his throat. Whether he could invite people over was of great significance to Chang'an and even the entire Guanzhong.

All I can say is that Sichuan has set a good example for the whole country.

The convoy came to a slow stop.

Under Wen Xiazhang's expectant eyes, Jiao Huizhong got out of the car and laughed vigorously:

"Hahaha, Lao Wen, hurry up and tell the kitchen to add more dishes tonight. We need to entertain Consultant Li and the others well."

Hear this.

Wen Xiazhang then knew that the person had been brought.

He immediately stepped forward and said:

"Advisor Li, and all the young comrades, please follow me over here!"

"Let me introduce you all."

"This is the president of Chang'an University, this is the dean of Chang'an Institute of Technology, and this is from the Institute of Computing Technology..."

Following his introduction.

A number of principals, directors of schools and institutes came forward and greeted Li Mu enthusiastically.

That look was as if he had seen some rare treasure.

But in terms of status and role.

He certainly deserves this metaphor.

"Hello, everyone..." Li Mu was surrounded and couldn't get away, so he had to keep practicing Tai Chi with everyone.

This time there was no Huang Xinhua to attract fire for him.

Guan Jianmin and General Zhao also ran as far as they could.

The only two people who wanted to get on were dragged down by Liu Bo, who somehow got on the bus.

"I've been cheated." Li Mu looked at the smiling Jiao Huizhong and cried out that he had been fooled.

Originally, the latter didn't say anything, and he thought he could just deal with it casually.

But looking at the posture, it is obvious that they came prepared, first deceiving people and then closing the net.

But it's too late to regret now.

Jiao Huizhong extended his hand and said, "The food is ready. Consultant Li, please come in."

……

A welcoming banquet.

It’s not clear whether the guests are happy or not, but the host is smiling from ear to ear.

Under the joint "siege" of everyone.

Li Mu had no choice but to agree to return to Chang'an and stay for another three or four days after finishing his business.

There's no way. Others are so hospitable and their requests are not excessive. It's impossible for me to not give them any face at all.

"I'm so worried!" After finishing his meal, Li Mu returned to his room and couldn't help but sigh.

He said he couldn't drink, and Jiao Huizhong and others didn't try to persuade him.

Therefore, my mind is still clear at this time.

"It's not difficult to establish joint research and game development now, but the difficult part is how to develop it." Li Mu frowned.

Given the huge gap in talent base, unilateral transfusion is unlikely to reverse the situation.

And this loophole cannot be opened.

Otherwise, wherever Li Mu goes in the future, he will send a group of people there.

No matter how much wealth the Semiconductor Research Institute has, it is not enough to give away.

The only solution is to find another way out.

"Maybe we can think of a solution in the field of petrochemicals." Li Mu suddenly thought of it.

In later generations, Guanzhong's coal and oil resources were quite abundant.

The Radar Institute is working on ground-penetrating radar.

By then, it will be possible to find large amounts of oil deposits in a short period of time.

Then we will find a way to develop a batch of mining equipment to carry out rational mining.

If handled properly, it is no less than Bashu, which develops high-tech industries.

……

The next day, early.

After thinking all night, Li Mu barely came up with a fairly feasible proposal.

But it was beyond his expectation.

After getting his promise yesterday, Jiao Huizhong and others did not continue to press him.

Instead, they arranged the convoy and supplies to enter the desert as quickly as possible.

Then after lunch, I reluctantly saw them off.

……

on the car.

Guan Jianmin, who was driving the car, kept looking back with a look of surprise:
"It's strange, why did they let us go so suddenly?"

"Drive carefully." General Zhao patted his shoulder and taught him a lesson.

But he was also a little puzzled.

Judging from the dormitory arrangements made last night, Jiao Huizhong obviously did not intend to let them stay for just one night.

Seeing that both of them were confused, Li Mu smiled and said:
"It's probably because of the higher-ups. Our mission this time is not an easy one."

It's close to big mushrooms.

Then there are no small things.

They stayed one more night, and the higher-ups must have received the news.

He also guessed Jiao Huizhong's plan.

"So that's how it is. I was wondering, but what are we going to do on this trip? It's so mysterious?" Guan Jianmin couldn't help but ask.

he asked.

Wang Lujun and Shen Xue, who had been pretending to be ostriches in the car, immediately raised their heads, their eyes also full of curiosity.

The journey continues till now.

They don't know anything except one direction, and it would be a lie to say they don't want to know.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Li Mu shook his head and said:
"This is a secret, even I can't disclose it easily. You will know it when we get there. As for now, it's better for you not to know."

The research on giant mushrooms is definitely the highest level of military secrets.

Although he trusted a few people, he would never tell them easily.

"Okay, I won't ask anymore." Guan Jianmin nodded and put his attention back on driving.

Li Mu looked at Wang Lujun and Shen Xue, thought for a while, and discussed issues in the fields of mechanical engineering and software engineering with them.

After the convoy drove into the vast desert.

Apart from the sky, all you can see is endless yellow, and the bumpy ride makes it difficult to read and write.

Fortunately, it does not affect their verbal communication.

At first, Wang Lujun and Shen Xue were a little reserved and couldn't let go.
But Li Mu answered a few questions patiently and carefully.

They let go of their courage completely.

It is a rare opportunity to have a one-on-one teaching opportunity with Li Mu face to face.

Wang Lujun and Shen Xue cherished it very much, and the whole journey was filled with their questions.

……

After more than ten hours of driving.

The convoy finally stopped after traveling through the desert.

A group of ochre-colored buildings came into everyone's sight.

At the gate.

As soon as Li Mu and others got off the car, a group of guards armed with live ammunition came forward.

A man with a resolute face stepped forward and said, "Which one is Consultant Li?"

"It's me." Li Mu said.

When the man saw his face, his expression immediately softened.

There was even a hint of smile in his eyes as he said:

"Advisor Li, you look as young as you do in the photo."

"Our Director Deng, as well as Professor Cheng, Professor Yu, and Professor Qian, have all been talking about you for a long time."

"Come with me."

As he said that, he walked forward and prepared to take Li Mu inside.

"Then they..." Li Mu looked at Guan Jianmin and others.

Seeing this, the man said:

"Don't worry, someone will arrange accommodation for you."

“You can see them at other times.”

"But except for you, their activities will be strictly restricted."

What he meant was obvious.

Except for Li Mu, General Zhao and others are not qualified to know any information about the big mushroom.

"It's really strict!" Li Mu nodded secretly.

The difficulties faced by Xia State in developing giant mushrooms come not only from internal technical, equipment and environmental issues.

There is also the covetous eyes of Big Brother and Emperor M from outside.

If they knew that Xia Guo was developing giant mushrooms, they would definitely try every means to sabotage it.

Therefore, confidentiality is of utmost importance and no mistakes can be made.
