The Red Era, the Opening University Speech

Chapter 359: Special Treatment for Beijing Institute of Technology

Dong Xinghua talked incessantly to Li Mu, his expression full of pride.

This achievement is extremely outstanding in the entire export history of Xia State and is worthy of being recorded in history.

But since Li Mu didn't ask, he was too embarrassed to say it.

After all, this achievement was all thanks to Li Mu's help.

"I see. Then the economic situation in our country should have improved to a certain extent, right?" Li Mu continued to ask.

Dong Huaxing said:

"That's for sure. Not to mention foreign exchange earnings, the economic benefits of the semiconductor industry are at least 20 to 30 billion."

"You have to know that our country's GDP last year was only over 600 billion."

"And the social benefits it brings are immeasurable."

As a top leader, he knows everything about these matters concerning national economy and people's livelihood.

"Is that so? Then I feel relieved." Li Mu breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

Seeing this, Dong Huaxing finally reacted and asked curiously, "What are you worried about?"

Li Mu thought about it and did not hide anything, saying that he was planning to study the high-altitude platform.

After hearing this, Dong Huaxing was so angry that he was afraid of his thighs.
"You are confused. Who else can be short of? How can it be you?"

"The high-altitude platform is such an important technology, we have to develop it even if we have to tighten our belts."

"Stop talking and go do your research. You don't have to worry about the money."

No matter how important money is, it is not as important as core technology.

Even though he doesn't understand technology, he understands this very well.

"Okay, I understand." Li Mu had no intention of defending himself.

In the long run, developing a high-altitude platform is indeed more important than economic development and improvement of people's livelihood.

But he still wants to find a balance between the two.

……

On the way home in the car.

Li Mu closed his eyes and thought, "Maybe we can consider making some products for export."

Although Dong Huaxing said it was okay.

However, such a huge investment in the aerial platform will probably drain the country's surplus funds.

The country has so many research projects, and if they are all given to him, what will others do?

Even if the higher-ups agreed, he still felt it was inappropriate.

"How about getting involved in the film industry?" Li Mu suddenly thought.

In later generations, film is definitely a very lucrative industry.

Each of the classic foreign IPs can bring huge economic value.

"Moreover, we now have a huge leading edge in computers and can completely produce digital synthetic special effects." The more Li Mu thought about it, the more feasible it seemed.

The use of computer-generated special effects is a technology that Emperor M first used in "War of the Worlds" in 72.

If it is developed now, it will definitely be a dimensionality reduction attack.

And it's not just special effects, but also supporting equipment for the film industry, a complete set can be developed.

Establishing Xia's film industry in advance will definitely create a new economic growth point for Xia.

"And it can also deal a blow to the development of Emperor M's film industry." Li Mu was secretly happy.

If all goes well, we will wait until the day when the relationship between Xia Kingdom and Emperor M eases.

After the normalization of foreign trade between the two countries, Xia Country's film exports will be able to easily crush the film industry of the M Empire.

Then I'm afraid there will be no more M Emperor blockbusters in the future, only Xia Country blockbusters.

……

After returning home.

Li Mu couldn't wait to write an opinion letter on the development of Xiaguo's film industry.

Of course, you can’t just hand it over like that.

We still have to solve the problem of film equipment first.

Cameras, lenses, dubbing equipment and special effects equipment are all needed.

Fortunately, when we were developing semiconductor cameras, we made a great breakthrough in lenses.

With this as a basis, the camera and lens are not difficult to solve.

After all, dubbing equipment and special effects equipment are rare.

Both require the development of specialized software to be implemented.

……

The next day, early.

Li Mu stretched lazily.

Wash up and finish exercising.

Return to the study.

After reading about wind tunnels for more than an hour, he glanced at the time.

Before I knew it, it was almost half past eight.

He quickly packed up and went downstairs.

At the door downstairs, Guan Jianmin had been driving and waiting with General Zhao for a long time.

However, the car I drove today was not the CA72, but the Shanghai brand car I drove before.

"Let's go, we can't be late." Li Mu opened the car door, got in the car, and urged.

Today is the day I have agreed to go to Beijing Institute of Technology to teach students in the software engineering education pilot program.

If I am late, it will damage my glorious image.

"Hold on tight." Guan Jianmin said, and then started the car.

Li Mu subconsciously held the car door
But after the car came, he put it down again.

The power of cars in this era can't be much faster.

……

Not long after.

Li Mu's car drove into Beijing Institute of Technology.

What made him happy was that this time there was no big scene like in the past.

It's okay once or twice, but if it happens every time, it's inevitable that you won't be able to cope with it.

Qian Shuyan and the leadership team of Beijing Institute of Technology were waiting downstairs in the administrative building.

Behind them were Wang Lujun and Shen Xue, who were ordered to come and stand by.

Seeing Li Mu's car approaching, a group of people rushed forward to respond.

Wang Lujun originally wanted to open the car door.

As a result, before he even took a step, Qian Shuyan took the lead.

"Welcome, welcome. It's not easy to invite Consultant Li." Qian Shuyan said jokingly with a smile as he opened the door.

Li Mu got out of the car, feeling somewhat amused and helpless when hearing this, and said:

"Dean, you are wrongly accusing me. I would have come if you had called me."

"Haha, you are really good at talking. After saying this, I can stand up straighter in front of all the principals and deans in Kyoto." Qian Shuyan laughed.

For major universities in Kyoto.

Li Mu is indeed very difficult to invite.

Even though people know where he lives, no one usually dares to disturb him.

I can only keep inviting them through Guan Jianmin.

But without exception, all of them fell on deaf ears.

If it weren’t for Jiang Nanying, the dean of China Europe International Business University, who begged everyone for help last time, we wouldn’t have known that Li Mu was on vacation.

They will never have the chance to be invited.

Hearing this, Li Mu also half-jokingly said, "Please don't tell them, otherwise I will have something to do."

If those principals and deans knew that he gave special treatment to Beijing Institute of Technology, they would definitely have objections.

When the time comes, I’ll go up there and make some noise, and then I’ll definitely have to go back to teach.

Of course, the higher-ups would not agree to let Li Mu squeeze out time to give lectures because of this. But he couldn't help but often "make mistakes" and get punished with holidays, so he always had free time.

The principals and deans of those schools would come knocking again.

Li Mu had no way to refuse.

——After all, I'm just sitting around doing nothing.

Qian Shuyan was delighted and said:
"Okay, no more jokes, let's go in quickly. I know you're busy and I won't waste your time."

Just as Li Mu and others walked in.

Large conference room.

The students who were lined up by the window also hurried back to their seats.

However, no matter how hard they tried to suppress it, they still couldn't calm down their excitement.

After all, this is Li Mu’s first time teaching as a lecturer!
Unlike a lecture, when you attend a lecture, you just listen to a lecture.

But after listening to the class, if you are thick-skinned enough, you can call yourself Li Mu’s student.

Of course, this is just a joke.

Class monitor Hao Ren couldn't help but whispered, "Everyone, be alert. We are the first batch of software engineering graduates from Beijing Institute of Technology. We must not embarrass ourselves."

"I know, squad leader, it's you. Don't be nervous. If they ask questions, you can't let them down." Xia Dongda, the deputy squad leader who was sitting not far away, said hurriedly.

When they learned that Li Mu was coming to teach them.

They rehearsed this many times, fearing any mistakes.

Just as the two were talking, a voice that was trying to be suppressed suddenly came from the doorway: "Stop talking, it's coming!"

……

Go to the hallway leading to the large conference room.

As Li Mu walked, he chatted with Qian Shuyan and asked about the basic situation of this year's Beijing Institute of Technology software engineering education pilot class.

In fact, he had thought about coming over to take a look before.

After all, after graduation, these students will basically devote their entire lives to the field of software engineering.

If they can be guided in advance, perhaps the development of domestic software engineering can enter the fast lane more quickly.

It’s a pity that I was so busy that I didn’t have the chance to come here.

As they were talking, they arrived at the door of the meeting room.

Li Mu paused for a moment and listened carefully. There was silence inside.

Qian Shuyan at the side said with a smile: "He is usually as naughty as a monkey, I am afraid he just saw you coming."

After saying that, he made a gesture of invitation.

"College students are full of energy and good things. They can bring vitality to the construction of our country." Li Mu was happy after hearing this.

He did not refuse and walked in first.

Unexpectedly, I just stepped into the meeting room.

The students sitting inside all stood up and shouted loudly: "Welcome Consultant Li!"

The sound is like thunder, with extraordinary momentum.

"Okay, okay, hello classmates, please sit down, sit down." Li Mu said hurriedly, sweating slightly in his heart.

It was so quiet just now, and the sudden shout startled him.

After hearing his words.

The students immediately returned to their seats in an orderly manner.

Everyone stood straight and their faces looked extremely solemn.

"There's no need to be so reserved." Li Mu waved his hands, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

If you don’t know, you might think it’s some important ceremony that’s why it’s so solemn.

But these words obviously did not make the students relax.

"We'll go to the back to listen and not disturb your class." Seeing this, Qian Shuyan, who came in behind, nodded with satisfaction and smiled.

Li Mu would not believe this arrangement without his nod.

He quickly asked, "Why don't you go up and say a few words first?"

"No need. Today you are the teacher and we are all students." Qian Shuyan said cheerfully, then led everyone to the back of the meeting room and found a place to sit down.

Li Mu had no choice but to give up and slowly walked towards the podium.

At the same time, the heads and eyes of the students in the audience followed his movements closely.

Standing on the podium, he was even more amused and helpless when he saw this scene.

But it is not easy to expose it directly, after all, it is the students' thoughts.

After thinking for a while, he said:
"Hello, students. I won't say much about myself. Many of you here have attended my lectures before."

"I'm afraid you all have high expectations of me when you come here today."

"But there is actually very little I can do. You have already learned the professional knowledge from books. All you need is the opportunity to practice. But what is practice and how to practice it? Do any of you know it?"

As soon as he finished speaking, applause broke out from the audience.

After the applause died down, more than half of the students raised their hands.

It looked quite layered, as if it had been rehearsed countless times.

"Let this student answer the question." Li Mu deliberately pointed to someone who didn't raise his hand.

The deputy monitor Xia Dongda was called upon.

He was obviously a little overwhelmed, but he was called, so he couldn't say that he didn't raise his hand, or that Li Mu called the wrong one.

So he stood up quickly and said:
"I think we should look for opportunities for practice in production activities, just like what you, Consultant Li, said before."

“Software engineering is a discipline with a very wide range of applications.”

"It can play a huge role in light and heavy industry, medical care, education and finance, for example, in machinery manufacturing..."

……

What Xia Dongda said was quite standard.

It contains content from books as well as extensions of one’s own understanding.

"Well said." Li Mu praised him affirmatively, but then said: "However, your understanding of the application is still a little insufficient."

"But this is not your fault. After all, your study time is too short and you don't have many opportunities to practice."

He could tell that the other party had definitely memorized the teaching materials he had written.

They can cite mechanical manufacturing as an example, and may have even studied it in the field.

Unfortunately, this still cannot make up for the impact of the greatly shortened time.

Hear this.

The students' eyes, which were originally full of interest, could not help but reveal a hint of disappointment.

They also miss the opportunity to study in school.

But the country needs them now, even if they are not fully ready, they must step up.

"Advisor Li, then tell me, how should we make up for it?" Xia Dongda asked.

Li Mu smiled and said:
"It is impossible to make up for it. This can only be solved through practice."

"But I can pass on some of my experience to you. Let's take the medical field you just mentioned as an example."

"If it were you, how would you explain the software engineering knowledge you learned and apply it here?"

After he asked the question, he looked at Xia Dongda.

Seeing that the latter was lost in thought, she did not rush him, but waited patiently for his answer.

After a while, the latter spoke cautiously:

"Yes, we can build a database to store the patient information of the entire hospital. When computers become popular, it will be much easier to search and retrieve, and it can also provide case references for doctors."

The reason for his hesitation was simple.

After all, let alone them, even those in the know find it hard to imagine that computers can be popularized in hospitals.

Based on current costs, the cost of a computer is equivalent to that of several hospitals.

Li Mu nodded slightly and said:

“It’s a good idea, but it needs further improvement.”

“Now that the database has been established, we need to find a way to make use of this data.”

"Data, in simple terms, is information. Using it as a case reference is just one of its functions. It can also be used to predict diseases and determine personalized treatment plans..."
