The Red Era, the Opening University Speech

Chapter 353 Military Industry - Hefei Factory

Li Mu's eyes widened after hearing this, and he said speechlessly: "Including today, I only have 3 days off. Do you think I can give 5 lectures every day?"

The donkeys in the production team were not used in this way.

"You're right, but the principals and deans of those colleges and technical schools have discussed that they can gather the students together, with a maximum of two sessions a day," Guan Jianmin continued.

As Li Mu's "chief steward", it is certainly impossible for him to arrange a schedule that he cannot complete.

If we integrate the students from 15 universities evenly, we only need to give two lectures a day.

"That's something we can consider." Li Mu nodded slightly. This arrangement was not unacceptable.

However, he would soon regret this decision.

……

The next three days.

Li Mu went to universities such as China Europe International Business School, Peking University and Agricultural College to give lectures.

I arrive at 9 am every day and can speak until 9 pm.

Although it's a holiday, it's not any easier than studying.

The only consolation is probably that this time it did not cause too much of a sensation.

After all, we have seen him several times, and he is not a superhuman being that can make people drop their jaws every time they see him.

But reporting is inevitable.

Mainstream media such as People's Daily, Xinxia Daily, and Guangmin Daily competed to publish news of his academic lectures:

"On the 7th of this month, my country's famous scientist and creator of software engineering discipline... Consultant Li Mu gave an academic lecture at PBC Polytechnic..."

"It is reported that Consultant Li Mu visited the Kyoto University campus at 9 am yesterday and discussed the inherent connection between my country's industrial development and the development of the gaming industry..."

"After Consultant Li's visit, a movement to learn from Consultant Li Mu and strive to become a leader in our country's scientific and technological breakthroughs gradually emerged in Kyoto University. It became popular among students..."

……

The newspapers are mostly filled with exaggerated news, so it’s better not to read them.

Li Mu put down the newspaper and placed it on the desk.

Then he took out a thick stack of manuscript paper from the drawer.

The above is his optimized design suggestion for the Z-5 equipped with the Xuanniao-1 engine, which he compiled based on the information he had.

A large amount of technical information from later generations was referenced.

Even some drawings were given, but only partial structures.

Although it is not possible to directly complete the optimization design, it can provide some references and suggestions.

After putting the documents into his briefcase, Li Mu stood up.

He raised his watch and checked the time.

8: am.

"Why hasn't there been a call yet?" Li Mu looked towards the phone in the living room, feeling a little restless.

His vacation is over, but he hasn't come to see me yet. Could it be that he has already started doing research behind my back?

Just when he was daydreaming.

Suddenly, the phone in the living room rang.

He walked forward, answered the phone, and then pretended to be nonchalant and said, "Hello, who is this?"

"Okay, stop pretending. I don't know you yet. Are you anxious?" Tang Yanjie's hearty laughter came from inside.

Li Mu deliberately said: "You guessed wrong, I am on my way to the Semiconductor Research Institute. If you have anything to say, please tell me quickly. The car is still waiting downstairs."

He still remembered being "driven away" a few days ago.

"It's okay, it's okay, you just do your thing first, I'll ask them to wait." Tang Yanjie said with a smile.

Of course he knew that Li Mu was joking.

Li Mu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he quickly asked, "Have the technical backbones from the three provinces arrived?"

"Yes, I'm here. I just got off the train and didn't even have time to catch my breath before I came here to sit and wait for you." Tang Yanjie said, looking back.

In the office, Chen Jiaxun, the director of the Hefei Manufacturing Plant, and the backbone of the entire Z-5 design team were basically sitting here.

After a long journey, each of them had a look of fatigue on their face.

However, even so, when Tang Yanjie suggested that they take a day off before starting their research, they still chose to refuse.

Wait for Tang Yanjie to hang up the phone.

Chen Jiaxun stood up from his chair and asked impatiently, "Dean Tang, what did Consultant Li say? Is he free to come over?"

Others also stood up.

After they came here, they learned that the optimization design project of the Z-5 was proposed by the famous Li Mu.

Otherwise, I wouldn't be willing to wait here for so long.

"This place is quite far from the city, and we probably won't get there until the afternoon. Director Chen, everyone can take a rest first. It won't be too late to come over after Consultant Li arrives." Tang Yanjie said with a smile.

I heard Tang Yanjie say that I would not be able to see Li Mu until the afternoon.

Chen Jiaxun and others in the room all showed disappointment in their eyes.

After all, everyone is extremely curious about Li Mu.

The creator of Xia Guo's software engineering discipline, a legend in the scientific research community, and the king of invention.

He has too many titles.

However, what people talk about most is his age.

At the age of 23, other college students would still be interning in graduate schools or factories.

He has achieved such great achievements that it is truly amazing and admirable.

"I have always admired Consultant Li, but unfortunately I have been away from home in three provinces and have never had the chance to meet him. This time I took the opportunity to come here and meet him before I leave," said Chen Jiaxun.

He is not included in the people that the higher-ups want this time.

The reason he was able to come here was because he had to beg and plead with everyone to get this opportunity.

Tang Yanjie looked at Chen Jiaxun and said with a smile, "Don't worry, he is definitely more enthusiastic about this than you are."

……

in the afternoon.

Li Mu rushed to the Aviation Academy.

Tang Yanjie, Wang Shicun, and a man in his thirties greeted them at the door.

Without waiting for him to pass by, the man quickly stepped forward, grasped his hand, and said, "You must be Consultant Li, right? Seeing is believing. Nice to meet you."

"What is this?" Li Mu looked at Tang Yanjie and Wang Shicun behind the man in confusion.

Without waiting for the two to explain.

The man quickly introduced himself:

"I am Chen Jiaxun, the director of the Hefei Manufacturing Plant. I have been ordered to accompany the technical backbone of the Z-5 design team to assist you in all your research projects, Consultant Li!"

While speaking, Chen Jiaxun did not forget to look at Li Mu.

There was only one thought in my mind - young, too young.

He has seen many geniuses, but no one has achieved so much at this age.

"It's Director Chen. Hello, hello." Li Mu smiled and shook hands with the other party.

The name of Hefei Manufacturing Plant is also quite famous in the military industry. It produces the Y-12 light multi-purpose aircraft series, the H425 series of civil helicopters, the Z-9 series of armed helicopters...

The number of aviation products produced is huge.

After shaking hands, Chen Jiaxun quickly stepped aside and said, "I am just accompanying the technical backbones here. Consultant Li, you are busy, I will not disturb you." "It's okay." Li Mu looked at Tang Yanjie and continued, "In the future, the optimized design and manufacturing of the Z-5 modification will still be mainly completed by the technical backbones of your factory."

But even if he said that.

Chen Jiaxun still didn't talk to him much, but quietly stepped back.

If it were an old expert or professor, he might still make a fuss and ask for some machinery and equipment and talents from the Hefei Manufacturing Plant.

But doing this to Li Mu was a bit strange.

Seeing this, Li Mu didn't care. He turned around and followed Tang Yanjie into the Aviation Academy.

……

Come to the conference room.

Most of the design team of the Xuanniao-1 helicopter gathered here.

In addition to them are the core members of the Z-5 design team headed by Qi Zhikun, consisting of a total of 7 experts and professors.

Originally, everyone in the room was having a heated discussion.

But with two knocks on the door, the entire meeting room suddenly became quiet.

Everyone's eyes turned to look over there.

Li Mu, who was pushed by everyone to come in first, had a helpless look on his face.

"Consultant Li is here!" Cheers broke out in the conference room.

This made Chen Jiaxun, who was experiencing it later, once again greatly raise his opinion of Li Mu in his heart.

It is easy to imagine its ability as it is welcomed by so many researchers.

"Good afternoon, everyone!" Li Mu greeted everyone with a smile, which caused another enthusiastic response.

The atmosphere gradually subsided only after they took their seats one by one.

Tang Yanjie picked up the microphone and began speaking in an official tone as usual: "Today, we gather here to respond to the call of the country..."

Perhaps he was aware that his writing was too complicated, so he spoke very briefly.

After finishing quickly, he handed the microphone in his hand directly to Li Mu.

Li Mu took the microphone and said:
"Everyone should know the purpose of coming here. I won't say much. To describe what we are about to do in one word, it is to work hard."

"Our country's aerospace capabilities are still insufficient."

"In the past, we relied on Big Brother, the support and experts they gave us... but now that these are gone, we can only rely on ourselves..."

……

He first talked about the construction history of the Z-5.

Imitating Big Brother is very common.

After all, it’s my fault that my technology is not as good as others.

"Advisor Li, how likely do you think it is that our optimized design will be successful this time?" asked Qi Zhikun, chief designer of the Z-5, who was sitting in the front row.

To be honest, he was still a little unsure.

After all, although Li Mu has a big name and has joined the Aviation Academy to conduct research, it is hard to say whether he understands helicopter design.

Hearing this, Li Mu smiled and said:

"It is definitely impossible to say 100 percent, but I am at least 70 to 80 percent sure that I can complete this research project."

"Let me ask you a question first."

"When you were developing the Z-5, how long did it take you to design the tooling, as well as the entire aircraft design and process preparation?"

"About 2 months and half a year." Qi Zhikun thought for a while and said.

During the trial production of the Z-5, he spent more than two months to complete the design task of 1000 sets of tooling.

This period of time is quite long.

"So what if you were asked to use CAD and CAM to complete the design now?" Li Mu continued to ask.

But after asking this question, many people felt a little embarrassed.

Just when everyone was hesitating and no one was willing to speak first.

Chen Jiaxun, who was in a bottle, interrupted quietly, "Consultant Li, although we have some understanding of CAD and CAM software, we can only use them."

"That shouldn't be the case. Don't you let the college students in your institute study software engineering?" Li Mu asked with some confusion.

in his plans.

After being equipped with computers, every institute and research unit will spontaneously cultivate talents in software engineering.

Even if it is not yet a system.

But at least it's possible to use it skillfully.

"Arrangements have been made, but there are only materials to study. The level is hard to describe!" Chen Jiaxun said helplessly.

The entry threshold for CAD and CAM is not particularly high, but it is still very difficult to master them, especially when you need to understand knowledge in mechanical manufacturing, aerodynamics, etc.

Moreover, they can only learn through materials distributed from above and cannot find teachers to teach them.

Li Mu also reacted when he heard this.

Currently, experts and professors who understand software engineering are basically stuck in research in Kyoto. Those who have a little free time have to go to school to teach.

This means that, apart from Kyoto, people in many places who want to learn software engineering can only learn through materials.

"I see. So Director Chen, you want us to send people to the three provinces to help you establish a joint software engineering R&D center, just like we did in Sichuan, Shu and Guanzhong?" Li Mu hesitated.

If this is the case, I'm afraid he won't be able to agree to it.

A lot of people have been sent to Sichuan, Shu and Guanzhong.

If we add the other three provinces, the manpower that has been finally enriched will become stretched again.

Chen Jiaxun said quickly:

"If it's possible, that would be great."

"But I think you must be very short of manpower now, and I'm afraid you can't send people to set up a joint software engineering R&D center."

"I'm not greedy, I just want you to send someone over."

He is not stupid.

If there is sufficient talent reserve, Li Mu will not be needed and people from above will send someone else.

But the current situation undoubtedly shows that the country still has a huge gap in talent in software engineering.

"There's no rush. Let's talk about the research first. I'll think about it before making a decision." Li Mu pondered for a moment, then said.

Chen Jiaxun smiled and said, "It's okay. Take your time to think about it. I'm waiting for your reply."

After saying that, he pushed it aside and stopped interrupting.

But he couldn't hide the happy expression on his face.

Even when Li Mu agreed to set up a joint R&D center for the three provinces, he was not so happy.

After all, when people go to the three provinces, they belong to everyone.

But when it comes to the Hefei Manufacturing Plant, it is unique to them.

……

Back to the topic.

Li Mu continued to say to Qi Zhikun:
"With the help of computers, a lot of design time can be shortened."

"Perhaps you don't know enough about its functions, but it doesn't matter. The Institute of Aeronautics has experts and professors from the Semiconductor Research Institute here."

"After the meeting, you and the technical backbone members of the Z-5 design team can go and have a discussion with him."
