The Red Era, the Opening University Speech

Chapter 358 Industrial Products Export Status

"So that's how it is. Director Zhang, please take me to meet those professors right away." Li Mu nodded slightly.

After arranging the research projects at the thermal power unit, he also plans to visit the Radar Research Institute.

"Okay." Zhang Yan nodded, made a gesture of invitation, and then led the way.

Li Mu followed and took two steps. Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he saw Deng Yan and the other two standing nearby, looking at him furtively.

Come to think of it, they were just trying to find their own appearance.

He gestured to Zhang Yan to wait for a moment, then walked over and asked, "What do you want to talk to me about?"

"It's okay, it's okay. Consultant Li, you're busy. We just wanted to come and say hello to you." Deng Yan waved his hand quickly.

The three of them just heard a little bit and knew that there were many experts and professors waiting for Li Mu to come over.

In this situation, how could they dare to delay?

"It's okay. There's still time to talk." Li Mu smiled, then walked forward, patted Deng Yan on the shoulder, and said:

"Work hard, I'm optimistic about you."

Hearing his words of encouragement, Deng Yan began to tremble with excitement: "Li, Consultant Li, do you remember me?"

"Of course, I remember everyone in your training classes, Deng Yan from Kyoto Iron and Steel Institute, right?" Li Mu said with a smile.

With his good memory, he could basically remember the list after just looking at it once.

Not to mention these students, he has always attached great importance to them and naturally remembers the situation of each one.

"It's me, it's me. Thank you, Consultant Li. I will definitely not let you down." Deng Yan said firmly.

Li Mu nodded slightly, then turned his gaze to Guan Qiang and Wu Aihua and said:

"You too, the task of optimizing the production line is not too difficult. If you can do it quickly, you might be able to incorporate it into the design of the new thermal power unit."

"Can we too?" The three of them were shocked when they heard that.

Developing new thermal power units is much more fulfilling than optimizing a production line.

"What's wrong with that?" Li Mu smiled.

Then, without saying anything more, he followed Zhang Yan into the factory.

……

To meet the accommodation needs of experts and professors who have come from all over the country.

and confidentiality requirements for research work.

With the cooperation of the Security Committee, Zhang Yan designated an area within the venue as a special activity area for researchers.

Although the conditions are a bit simple, the various equipment and instruments are not much worse than those of ordinary research institutes.

Normally, experts and professors would gather in a conference room converted from a factory building to discuss issues.

When Li Mu walked in.

What I heard was a rather heated discussion.

He paused at the door, ready to listen for a while.

But within a minute, someone inside shouted, "Advisor Li is here!"

"Advisor Li, it's Advisor Li!" Hearing the shout, everyone immediately stopped discussing.

Then they all stood up at the same time, ready to step forward and say hello.

"Hello, experts and professors." Seeing this, Li Mu hurriedly walked out and greeted them with a smile.

Their group was a bit too big a target, so it was not surprising that they were discovered.

Just as he said hello.

An old professor and two men in their thirties walked out of the crowd and said excitedly:

"It's an honor to meet you, I'm Yang Jinshan."

"Hello, Consultant Li, I'm Qin Yukun."

"Hello, hello, I'm Shi Dazhen."

……

The three of them introduced themselves one after another.

Li Mu was impressed by their names.

Yang Jinshan, deputy director of Shanghai Steam Turbine and Boiler Research Institute.

In the 50s, Jie Ke first trial-produced a 6000-kilowatt thermal power unit with relatively mature technology and advanced performance indicators.

And successfully completed its industrial mass production.

Qin Yukun, a future academician, is the creator of the first national unified textbook for the new Xiaguo boiler professional course, "Fuel, Combustion Theory and Equipment of Steam Boilers".

In the 70s, a new chapter in industrial boiler manufacturing was opened, and the technology of "forced internal circulation" of steam boilers was innovated, filling this shortcoming for the country.

There was also Shi Dazhen, the future head of the electric power industry, who made localized technical adjustments to imported "foreign equipment" in the 70s.

After the country spent a lot of money to introduce it, a series of problems emerged one after another, such as water-cooled wall cracks, five-watt vibration, grate coke accumulation and insufficient output of the powder making system.

It can be said that he is the founder of Xiaguo’s thermal power units in the future.

……

After the three came up, other experts and professors also came forward to introduce themselves.

Basically, they are all well-known figures who have in-depth research in steam turbine boilers now or in the future.

"I didn't expect the country to mobilize so many people here this time." Li Mu couldn't help but sigh.

Yang Jinshan smiled and said:
"With your status, Advisor Li, you can transfer anyone you want, let alone us now."

"That's right. Consultant Li's ability is obvious to all. You will definitely succeed in developing the thermal power units. We are just here to help." Qin Yukun followed.

The two people's words made a group of experts and professors nod their heads continuously.

Li Mu is now a living signboard in Xia Country's scientific research community.

Even without mentioning those unknown secret research, its achievements are enough to deserve the word legendary.

"Thank you for the compliment." Li Mu waved his hands, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, and saw that everyone was about to start praising him.

In order to avoid it turning into a commercial bragging match, he quickly said:

"Let's talk about that later. Now let's discuss the construction of the new thermal power plant."

As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd that had been noisy immediately quieted down and returned to their seats.

Then, take out your pen and notebook.

Even people who didn't know Li Mu had heard the rumors about him in the academic community.

——When you listen to Consultant Li’s talk, it’s best to bring a pen and notes.

Seeing that everyone is ready.

Li Mucai continued:

"Let's talk about the technical issues first. The development of the new thermal power unit this time is mainly based on ultra-supercritical technology."

"In 59, Emperor M developed an ultra-supercritical unit with a capacity of 31 kilowatts, a steam inlet pressure of 34.5 MPa, and a steam inlet temperature of 649°C."

"Of course, there are still many problems with their crew..."

……

He started with the technical aspects.

The concepts of supercritical and ultra-supercritical technology appeared not very late.

And there are already applications.

However, even Emperor M cannot fully master the ultra-supercritical technology.

After a series of unsuccessful adjustments and optimizations, supercritical technology was basically used before the 80s, and the conventional parameters of pressure and temperature were stabilized below 24.1MPa and 538℃/566℃.

And it was not beyond Li Mu's expectations.

After he finished speaking.

Someone immediately raised his hand and asked:
"Advisor Li, there are still many problems with ultra-supercritical technology. Do you think we should study supercritical technology first?"

"This technology is also quite advanced internationally."

"If we can achieve this breakthrough, it will also help alleviate, or even solve, our country's power generation shortage."

His words made some experts and professors nod secretly.

This is not intentional.

When the technical conditions are not mature enough, problems are inevitable if you rashly study something you don’t understand.

Instead of pursuing the uncertain ultra-supercritical technology, it is better to take a step back and pursue supercritical technology.

Once successful, it can also solve the problem of power generation.

Of course, supercritical technology is also quite difficult for Xia Country.

Seeing everyone questioning themselves.

Li Mu was not angry. After all, ultra-supercritical was indeed a bit exaggerated.

His original plan was to use the 66KW thermal power unit from Daying that used supercritical technology. But this did not affect their continued breakthrough.

After all, ultra-supercritical is the trend of the future.

If this research and development can inspire others.

Then the result is also good.

Thinking of this, Li Mu raised his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet, and then said:
"Let's not talk about which technology to study for now."

"Let's first talk about the difference between the two technologies."

"Pressure, temperature and efficiency are the three biggest differences between them..."

……

He analyzed and explained in detail the technical differences between supercritical and ultra-supercritical.

At the beginning, the experts and professors below still wanted to continue refutation.

Until he picked up a blackboard and began to draw the boiler, turbine and engine of the supercritical unit.

No one said anything else.

Everyone lowered their heads and kept taking notes, afraid of missing any details.

"No wonder they started studying ultra-supercritical technology right away." A thought popped up in everyone's mind.

——Supercritical technology has been fully mastered. What else can we do if we don’t study ultra-supercritical technology?

Wait until Li Mu finishes speaking.

There was a burst of warm applause from the audience:

"That's a great idea. I think if we follow your instructions, we can develop a supercritical thermal power plant!"

"There is no problem with the technology in theory, and it can be verified experimentally!"

"As expected of the famous Consultant Li, he really makes me convinced!"

……

Everyone expressed high recognition and affirmation of Li Mu's research direction.

As an expert and professor who has been researching in this area for many years.

They may not have the ability to create new technologies or invent new equipment.

But I still have basic eyesight.

Seeing this, Li Mu did not become proud or complacent.

After all, this is just the beginning.

If we want to implement the technical theory, there are still many difficulties to overcome.

……

The meeting lasted until about 5 p.m.

After basically establishing the theoretical foundation, Li Mu also appropriately gave some design ideas for boilers, turbines and engines.

Of course, this is far from all.

There are also auxiliary equipment such as condensers, water feed pumps, deaerators, etc., which need to be gradually resolved later.

But you can't rush this, you need to do it step by step.

Afterwards, Li Mu continued to go to the Radar Research Institute to check the research progress of Peng Shilu and Bi Dexian.

There were no major problems in the development of the three radars, and there was steady progress.

But it is not easy to succeed.

After all, as a new type of radar, it contains a lot of new technologies.

"Just work hard." Li Mu looked at the busy Peng Shilu and Bi Dexian, and left quickly without disturbing them too much.

……

Come to the Foreign Trade Committee.

This time, Li Mu did not let Guan Jianmin drive in directly. Instead, he parked the car at the entrance of an alley 50 meters away and then walked down.

But even so, he and General Zhao still attracted a lot of people's attention.

Walk quickly towards the Foreign Trade Committee.

Without waiting for Li Mu to speak.

Wang Lujun stepped forward, took out his ID and negotiated with the security guard.

I don't know what he said.

The security guard quickly opened the door and let him in.

Li Mu didn't care too much and walked in first.

After coming inside.

I happened to meet Dong Huaxing's secretary.

Li Mu asked him to pass the message.

Unexpectedly, the latter went out for something.

But think about it, this is normal. As the head of the Foreign Trade Committee, it is strange to drink tea in the office all day.

"Consultant Li, please sit for a moment. I will call the leader and ask him to come back." The secretary did not dare to delay and said quickly.

As for the Foreign Trade Committee, they can neglect their own leaders, but they must never neglect Li Mu.

Even Dong Huaxing himself thinks so.

Li Mu thought about it and felt that it was okay.

But he couldn't say that, so he smiled and said, "Then I'll go to the conference room and wait for the leader to come back."

After saying that, he walked in first.

He has been here countless times and is very familiar with the conditions here.

……

Enter the reception room.

Li Mu was not idle either. He took out his notes and organized his research for the day.

The situation at the Institute of Aeronautics, Kyoto Thermal Power Plant, and Radar Research Institute is relatively stable, so there is no need to worry.

"However, the Type 03 personal computer should also be promoted as a key research project." Li Mu thought to himself.

After the successful development of the second-generation supercomputer, network problems have basically been solved.

Although it is still impossible to achieve large-scale coverage, it is still no problem to cover the area of ​​several kilometers around the Semiconductor Research Institute.

"It just so happens that the manpower used to develop supercomputers is now free, so we have plenty of manpower." Li Mu thought secretly.

After achieving a supercomputer with a computing speed of 100 billion times per second.

He doesn't plan to develop the subsequent third-generation supercomputer too quickly.

100 billion times per second is enough to handle most computing tasks, and increasing it further would be a waste.

The next step is to keep up with the software development.

For example, developing simulation wind tunnel software, simulating exploration, atomic energy research, etc.

Only by moving forward in unison can we achieve virtuous development and cycle.

Otherwise, even if we manage to develop the third generation, the computing power will be useless.

Just as Li Mu was thinking.

Suddenly, there was a sound of something falling to the ground in the room.

He looked up and found that Dong Huaxing had returned without him noticing.

The latter looked at the lid of the tea box on the ground awkwardly and said:

"I wanted to make you a cup of tea. I hope I didn't disturb you."

If Li Mu was thinking about something important and was suddenly interrupted by him.

That's a huge sin.

"It's okay, just sit down and clear your mind." Li Mu smiled and went forward to help pick up the lid on the ground.

Dong Huaxing finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good, that's good. By the way, what is the matter with you coming to see me?"

As he spoke, he continued to make tea.

"I'd like to ask you about the foreign trade export situation during this period, and whether Mr. Xiao He's situation is going well." Li Mu explained.

Hearing this, Dong Huaxing showed a complacent smile on his face and said:
"The export situation of industrial products is of course very good."

"In the past quarter alone, our country's foreign exchange earnings were nearly over 100 million US dollars."

"As for Mr. Xiao He, he hasn't encountered any problems either, and the company's operations are very stable..."
