The Red Era, the Opening University Speech

Chapter 355: -ton press machine is successful
Li Mu said: "Then I am still a young man."

"You..." Qin Yun opened his mouth, but was unable to refute for a moment.

This is true. Li Mu is not just a young man, he is even the youngest one present.

When the others heard the conversation between the two, they couldn't help but laugh.

Guo Mo, who was sitting next to Qin Yun, couldn't help but laugh:

"If you say so, then it's really your turn."

"Leader, look, President Guo has said this." Li Mu said quickly.

When Guo Mo heard this, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Don't go climbing up the slope. That's not what I mean."

"The leader doesn't let you do it because he doesn't want you to work too hard."

"Okay, stop talking nonsense and come and sit down. The test will start soon."

He just finished speaking.

In another room of the computer room, Wang Shoujue walked out and reported:

"Dear leaders, the testing of the second-generation supercomputer has been completed."

Hearing these words, everyone was shocked and their hearts beat faster.

Under the influence of the first generation of supercomputers, Xiaguo's top industrial technology development has been accelerated by at least three years so far, and the speed is still accelerating.

This is just an increase in computing speed of 1 million times per second.

The computing speed of the second-generation supercomputer is estimated to reach tens of billions of times. What a concept.

You know, most countries in the world today have not even broken through one million times.

After Wang Shoujue finished reporting to Qin Yun and the others, he looked at Li Mu and said, "I just heard some of what you said. Just leave it to them. I believe they can do a good job."

"Look, Director Wang has said so. As a senior consultant, you should worry less." Guo Mo smiled and pulled Li Mu to a seat nearby.

The two of them sat on Qin Yun's left and right.

After the rest of the accompanying personnel took their seats one by one.

Wang Shoujue immediately announced solemnly: "The second-generation supercomputer test begins!"

The words fell.

The entire second-generation supercomputer project team, including 31 staff members from the network R&D group, processor development group, storage system development group, and software and algorithm optimization group, immediately took action.

The indicator lights on the instrument on the wall in front of everyone began to flash continuously.

The voices of the various responsible persons in different computer rooms were also heard during the internal broadcast: "The processor is running normally... The network system is running normally..."

……

The voices, one after another, started out calm and gradually became trembling towards the end.

Until finally, Wang Shoujue walked out with a final data report in his hand.

Everyone, including Li Mu, couldn't help but stand up, waiting for his final answer.

Wang Shoujue picked up the report and said in his loudest voice, "The test passed. The computing speed of the second-generation supercomputer has exceeded 100 billion times per second, and the peak has reached 105 billion times per second!"

Even though they had expected this, everyone couldn't help but cheer with joy when they heard the news.

For a moment, the entire semiconductor research institute was in a state of excitement.

"A computing speed of 100 billion times per second. If the news were to be released, I'm afraid Emperor M and Big Brother would be shocked!" Qin Yun exclaimed in amazement.

If 10 billion times per second is still within the scope of understanding of Emperor M and Big Brother.

So 100 billion times per second, I'm afraid you haven't even thought about it.

Even if you tell them, or get this information through some means, they probably won't believe it.

——What a joke! We haven’t even reached the edge of a computing speed of 100 million times per second, and you say you have already created one that can run 100 billion times per second?
Guo Mo also laughed and said:

"It's not just Emperor M and Big Brother. I think the whole world will be shocked or even panicked by the appearance of this supercomputer."

"Maybe they'll even suspect we got some alien technology."

"But they never imagined that we have something more powerful than that!"

After he finished speaking.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Li Mu.

It can be said that the creation of the second-generation supercomputer, a weapon that is ahead of its time, was entirely due to the ideas of Li Mu alone.

Without him, there would be no second-generation supercomputers.

Even if it was the 01 million operations per second computing speed of the Type 100 computer, they would not be able to surpass it without five or six years.

"Actually, I still prefer alien technology. After all, it can be used right away." Facing the gazes of the crowd, Li Mu made a small joke.

Although his chat page is not inferior to alien technology in some ways.

But in terms of advancement, there is definitely no comparison.

After all, the latter can already travel in space.

Unless we can get the technical information of the Nantianmen Project proposed by the Xia Kingdom in later generations, we can develop aerospace motherships, unmanned aerospace fighters and other things.

However, this thing has the suspicion of deceiving Emperor M and Big Brother to follow up and invest. It is a top-level conspiracy, and it is hard to say whether it can come out.

But Li Mu estimated that the Emperor M and Big Brother in the future would not dare to disobey.

After all, if they don’t follow, if Xia Country really suddenly takes out an aerospace mothership and flies up one day, they will all tremble in fear.

In the machine room.

The atmosphere was jubilant.

After hearing what Li Mu said, everyone couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Qin Yun couldn't help but tease, "No matter how good the alien technology is, I don't think it's as good as yours. After all, the previous one is a one-time deal, and you are the guarantee for the long-term development of our Xia country."

"Yes, yes, with you here, it works better than any alien technology." Guo Mo on the side also said with a smile.

Li Mu had already gotten used to hearing the compliments from the two and was no longer embarrassed.

He was also extremely happy at this moment.

The success of the second-generation supercomputer is another huge improvement in Xiaguo’s industrial development efficiency.

Moreover, many technologies, such as wind tunnel simulation and other research projects that require high-performance supercomputer support, can also be formally launched and research can begin.

Of course, before that, there is a key issue that needs to be resolved.

Li Mu said:

"My dear leaders, although this second-generation supercomputer has been successful, there is still a crucial link to meet its operational needs - sufficient power supply."

"A few days ago, I visited the Kyoto Thermal Power Plant. After having a systematic understanding of our country's existing power generation equipment, I believe that we now have the foundation for developing new thermal power unit technology."

“Developing new and more efficient thermal power units and increasing our country’s total power generation capacity is not only a means of solving the power problem, but also an imperative step to provide sufficient energy support for our country’s future industrial development.”

His words were rhythmic and powerful.

When it falls into the ears of everyone, it feels like every word is a pearl.

Guo Mo smiled and said:

"It's amazing how you have achieved so much at such a young age. You've just succeeded and you're already thinking about the future."

"But power generation is indeed a big problem and needs to be treated with caution." "For this second-generation supercomputer test, we used electricity from several districts in Kyoto to barely support the completion, but we must not have power outages every day in the future, otherwise, among other things, the factory's production will be affected."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Li Mu.

According to his understanding, since Li Mu had spoken, it was impossible that he had just gone to investigate and expressed a few feelings.

Maybe there is already a systematic research plan.

"So I proposed to set up a thermal power unit research and development team and work with the Kyoto Thermal Power Plant to solve the problem of power generation difficulties as soon as possible." Li Mu continued.

After he came back from the thermal power plant last time, he was called away by the Aviation Institute.

I have been busy with the optimization design of the Z-5 these days. I wrote the research plan at night, so I didn't report the matter immediately.

I would like to take this opportunity to bring it up today.

After hearing what Li Mu said, Qin Yun said without any hesitation:

"I have approved this project. Please feel free to ask for anything you need. The country will do its best to meet your needs!"

"I only have one request, which is to successfully develop a higher-performance thermal power unit."

"You are right that our country's industrial development has entered a new stage. Only sufficient and stable power generation can meet future needs."

He stands at a higher position and has easier access to the country's future major policies.

Today, Xiaguo's industrial development appears to be thriving on the surface, but in fact it has reached saturation.

The operating hours of power plants across the country have increased again and again, and they can only barely meet the demand for electricity.

But blindly extending the power generation time is not a good choice.

Even if humans can bear it, machines can't.

"Don't worry, leader. I will complete the research on this task as soon as possible." Li Mujian said.

Seeing this, Qin Yun nodded with relief.

But then he smiled again and said:
"Okay, it's good to be devoted to research, but we finally came up with the second-generation supercomputer, so we should celebrate it."

"Tell me, what reward do you want?"

"As long as you ask, I will find a way to get you anything."

……

The news of the successful development of the second-generation supercomputer quickly spread among the top leaders of the Xia State.

The superior leaders also received the news as soon as possible.

When he learned that a supercomputer with a computing speed of 100 billion times per second had been developed, he was also shocked.

"We now have a very strong technological advantage in computers. It will take decades for Emperor M and Big Brother to catch up with us!" The superior leader said to Qin Yun, who came to report the news, with a sigh.

As he said this, his face was full of joy.

He was afraid of falling behind. Even though he was far ahead of Emperor M and Big Brother in computers, he was worried that he would not be able to maintain this advantage.

In terms of industrial foundation, the gap between Xia Kingdom and Emperor M, and Big Brother, is really not a little bit.

When discussing whether to trade semiconductor technology and Type 01 computers to Big Brother, some even felt that with the technology, the latter would be able to surpass them quickly.

"This success is also a shot of adrenaline for everyone, letting everyone know that we already have an absolute advantage in this regard, and we must let go and do it boldly." Qin Yun replied with a smile.

As a leader in charge of national science and technology development, he is also proud of the achievements made by his subordinates.

The superior nodded slightly and said:

"It's time to let go. We can select some technical information and exchange it with Big Brother for things that the country urgently needs."

"Of course, it still requires Li Mu's nod."

"Practice has proven that the decision he made was the right one, and he should continue to make good use of it in the future."

After he finished speaking, he paused.

Then he asked, "By the way, have you decided what reward to give to Li Mu this time?"

"Well, I asked him for his opinion, and he said he didn't want anything. If you really want to give it to me, then just give me a certificate." Qin Yun said with a wry smile.

However, this answer did not surprise the superiors.

After all, Li Mu really doesn't lack anything now.

He pondered for a moment, then said, "We can't just give him a certificate. His contribution this time is huge, so he should be rewarded well... So, in addition to the basic reward, give him an additional special car."

"Special car? Giving it to him, wouldn't this treatment be too ostentatious?" Qin Yun said hesitantly.

Although the car Li Mu is riding in now is actually no different from his private car, it is not a private car after all, so it is not that eye-catching.

And if it is to be given, it must be a higher-level special car, which would be even more eye-catching.

The superior leader smiled and said:

"He is now the section chief of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and a nationally renowned scientist. I think there is no problem in giving him a high-standard private car."

"On the contrary, it is secretive and easy to attract attention."

"But your consideration is not unreasonable. We still need to strengthen Li Mu's safety and not allow any mistakes. His family must also be fully protected..."

……

After discussing the reward for Li Mu.

Qin Yun left the campus quickly.

Back at the National Defense Science and Technology Commission, he sat in his office.

When he thought of the computing speed of 100 billion times per second, even though he was experienced, he still couldn't help but grin with joy, secretly thinking that the Xia Kingdom had a bright future.

Just when he was extremely happy.

The secretary walked in from outside and said, "Leader," Good news came from the Magic City. The 12000-ton free forging hydraulic press was a success!"

"The 10,000-ton press was successful? Very good, very good. Quick, send a telegram to express your commendation." Qin Yun's smile deepened when he heard this.

The development of the 10,000-ton press has freed Xiaguo from the dilemma of relying on imports of large forgings.

This is undoubtedly good news for the development of the country's heavy machinery manufacturing industry.

However, with the example of the second-generation supercomputer, the news of the successful 10,000-ton press did not make him so excited.

"By the way, Professor Shen Zheng over there said that he wanted to invite Consultant Li Mu over to help use his software engineering skills to further increase the tonnage of the press." The secretary continued.

Hearing this, Qin Yun couldn't help but laugh:
"This Shen Zheng is good at finding people."

"But Li Mu can't leave now."

"Send a telegram and ask him to come over if he wants to."

No matter who comes now, it is impossible to take Li Mu away.

There are so many things going on in Kyoto, and none of them can be done without him.

And he estimated that Li Mu didn't have time to go.

After all, there are some talents in software engineering that have been cultivated.

But he is the only all-round genius who can take care of multiple research projects at the same time, including the Xuanniao-1 helicopter, multi-function radar, thermal power units, etc.
