The Red Era, the Opening University Speech

Chapter 360 Commercial high-horsepower diesel engine developed successfully
He doesn't speak fast, and what he says is not complicated. He strives to make it easy for everyone to understand.

After he finished speaking, many students showed signs of sudden enlightenment.

Then, there was another round of thunderous applause:
“That’s a great point. We can’t just think about solving existing medical problems, we also need to think about how to use software to make many originally complicated things simpler!”

"That's right, we can't limit our thinking and make full use of this data!"

"According to Consultant Li, computers will become popular sooner or later. By then, a lot of data can be easily collected, sorted and summarized. Using them, we can achieve so many things!"

……

Looking at the students' reactions, Li Mu smiled slightly.

It’s no wonder they couldn’t think of it.

After all, this involves some content related to big data, which is two different majors from software engineering.

But there is no way, the conditions are there, they can only do it themselves.

Not only do you need to be able to develop software based on needs, you also need to learn to find needs.

After the applause stopped, Li Mu continued:

"Let me give you another medical example, DNA. It was discovered by Michel, a chemist from Sande. You may be unfamiliar with this thing, but it doesn't matter if you don't know it."

"I can tell you that everyone's DNA is unique and can be tested through hair and blood."

"If we can build on this foundation and organize everyone's DNA into a database, and use software to organize and analyze it, we will be able to promote the advancement of medicine..."

……

He wanted to inspire these students' thinking as much as possible.

But this example is a little ahead of its time.

After all, although DNA testing technology is available now, it is still decades away from becoming popular.

The students’ reactions below were also very real.

In order to keep the atmosphere from getting dull, everyone wanted to raise their hands to ask questions.

But I didn't know where to start, so I raised my hand hesitantly.
Just as Li Mu was hesitating whether to explain more deeply, a student suddenly raised his hand and asked firmly: "Advisor Li, are you saying that everyone's DNA is unique and there is no duplication?"

"Yes, there is no repetition." Li Mu's eyes lit up slightly and he gave him an affirmative answer.

Upon hearing this, the other party immediately said:

"In this case, through this database, everyone's DNA can be included."

"To be honest, my father works in the Security Bureau, and there are often cases that cannot be thoroughly investigated for various reasons."

"But at the crime scene, there will always be some traces of the murderer. If we can conduct a DNA test and then compare it with the database, we can quickly identify the suspect!"

When he finished speaking, he couldn't help but get excited.

After all, if such a thing can really be developed, it will undoubtedly be a powerful weapon for social security.

Although it is not as useful as surveillance, it is enough to scare criminals away.

"You're right. This is also the development direction of software engineering. Moreover, in the near future, the thing you mentioned will definitely appear, and maybe it will be completed by you personally." Li Mu said with a smile.

Get his affirmation.

The students who answered blushed and were eager to dive into the research right away.

However, he probably doesn't realize that China still has a long way to go before it can realize DNA testing.

"I can see later if I can develop a sequencer." Li Mu thought to himself.

Although what Xiaguo urgently needs now is industrial progress, it cannot ignore the development of other aspects.

Progress in medicine is quite helpful in improving the living standards of the people of Xia.

"I almost forgot that we were still in class." Li Mu suddenly came to his senses, looked at the pairs of eyes looking at him, and said quickly: "Okay, this student sits down first, and we will continue to discuss industrial applications..."

No matter how useful DNA is, it is not something that can be created by the strength of a single field of software engineering.

Just plant a seed, and capable people will develop it in the future.

As for Li Mu himself, he certainly doesn't have the energy to get involved in the medical field anymore, but he could do some work on medical equipment.

……

Afterwards, Li Mu cited some application cases of software engineering in later generations.

For example, smart manufacturing and the Internet of Things, edge computing and supply chain management, etc.

Although the foundation has not been realized yet, it does not mean that it will not be possible in the future.

At the end of the class, Li Mu scanned the faces of the students one by one and said emotionally:
“You are the generation that pioneered new frontiers, and you are also the generation that faced the most difficulties.”

"But there is no doubt that you will also be the most accomplished and honored generation."

"It is not only for building the country, but also for realizing your own life value. One day, your names will be remembered by history!"

As soon as the words fell, everyone in the audience stood up from their seats.

The applause was thunderous and lasting.

……

After the lecture.

Li Mu did not leave immediately, but stayed and had a quick meal in the cafeteria with the 50 students from the first software engineering education pilot class of Beijing Institute of Technology.

But compared to eating, everyone was obviously more interested in him.

From time to time, someone would come up and introduce themselves to him.

Some students even brought cameras and wanted to take photos with him.

Li Mu did not refuse these requests and agreed to them one by one with a smile.

It's just taking a photo, it's not a difficult thing.

He never felt that he was unattainable.

Qian Shuyan, who was standing by, saw how happy they were taking the photos, so he suggested, "I think we should take a group photo together, and it will be our graduation photo later. What do you think?"

"Of course!" The students nodded vigorously immediately.

But just after they finished speaking, they remembered that Li Mu still had to agree to this.

After all, not everyone has a camera.

The opportunity to take a photo with Li Mu, even if it is just one among many people.

It is also worth cherishing for their whole life.

Then, everyone looked at Li Mu eagerly again.

Seeing this, Li Mu hesitated for a moment, then said: "Then take a picture and keep it as a souvenir."

He saw students who could only watch with envy as others took pictures.

It would be troublesome to take photos one by one, so I just took a group photo.

"Okay, Hao Ren, you must leave me a photo after you take it, so that I can put it in the school history museum when the school builds it in the future." Qian Shuyan said with a grin.

With this photo, we can surpass all the major universities in Kyoto invisibly!

After the lecture.

Li Mu quickly returned to his research work.

But he didn't know.

The news that he was giving lectures at the Beijing Institute of Technology quickly spread among the student circles in Kyoto.

The students who attended the lecture compiled what he said into a small notebook and passed it around.

In just half a day, the news spread to all major universities.

Then, naturally, this matter was known to the presidents and deans of major universities.

They were so miserable. They finally caught up with the progress, but were overtaken by Beijing Institute of Technology. The key point was that they couldn't find Li Mu.

Go ask the leader again?
It's okay once or twice, but if you do it every time, your leader won't tolerate it.

So they could only come to Qian Shuyan.

……

Beijing Institute of Technology, inside the principal's office.

Led by Jiang Nanxiang and Lu Ping, they brought a group of principals and deans of software engineering education pilot schools to the door to "demand accountability."

Qian Shuyan seemed to be prepared for this.

He slowly made tea for everyone, and when he sat back in his seat, he "unnoticeably" picked up the photos he had taken yesterday from the table and quickly wiped them.

Then put it back.

As the object was taken and put down, the attention of Jiang Nanxiang, Lu Ping and others was attracted.

After seeing the photo clearly, each of their faces darkened immediately.

What? I'm just showing off.

"Dean Qian, what you did was not very decent." A principal couldn't help but say.

The voice just fell.

Jiang Nanxiang, who was standing by, said, "What are you talking about? Is Dean Qian that kind of person?"

"That's right. Think about it, Consultant Li rarely appeared in front of outsiders before. If it weren't for Dean Qian, we would never have the opportunity to invite Consultant Li to give a lecture." Lupin followed.

The principal who spoke first was full of questions: "Didn't you agree to come here to protest? Why did you change your mind?"

Qian Shuyan didn't care. After all that talk, wasn't it just because he envied him?

Seeing that he didn't speak, Jiang Nanxiang continued:
"Dean Qian, I actually have a suggestion. Can you take the lead and invite Consultant Li to give lectures in our school's software engineering pilot class?"

"They are all from the first batch of students. I'm sure he won't favor one over the other."

"Don't worry, if Consultant Li has any requests, we will definitely meet them unconditionally."

He kept a low profile.

There was no way. Apart from Qian Shuyan, they had no way to contact Li Mu directly.

And even if we contact them, there is no one we can hire.

"Dean Jiang is right. These are students from the first pilot software engineering program. I'm sure Consultant Li will take them seriously. How about you pass on a message for us?" Lupin said eagerly.

The "cowardly" behavior of the two caused other principals and deans to be speechless.

But after a brief hesitation, they quickly joined in.

What's the use of face? I can't even see Li Mu's people.

Looking at the anxious expressions of the crowd, Qian Shuyan finally put down the photo frame in his hand, coughed lightly, and said, "It's not that I don't want to help, but I can't influence Li Mu's opinion."

"Don't worry about this. No one can influence Consultant Li's opinion. We just want you to help convey our wishes and expectations, no, the students' wishes and expectations." Jiang Nanxiang said quickly.

There are clear requirements above.

No matter how they begged, they could not disturb Li Mu.

Normal invitations are fine, but persistent tactics will never work.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have to come to Beijing Institute of Technology to find a solution.

Hearing this, Qian Shuyan said, "Okay, then I'll speak for you, but first of all, I can't guarantee success."

His words stunned Jiang Nanxiang and Lupin, who were already prepared to "bleed heavily".

After a long pause, he finally reacted and said quickly, "It's okay. It doesn't matter whether it succeeds or not. We are already very grateful that you can help."

Of course, that's what it says.

They still very much hope to succeed.

"Actually, this matter is not difficult. Li Mu attaches great importance to these students. It's just that he doesn't like too much hustle and bustle, so you can't make a big fuss like the previous lectures." Qian Shuyan smiled and said.

These words made Lu Ping and others in Jiangnan Township even more shocked.

You have to know that Qian Shuyan was not so easy to talk to before. When he was asked to help invite Li Mu to give a lecture, he basically made excuses to refuse.

Why did he change his temper this time and actually offer to help?

Jiang Nanxiang thought about it, but couldn't help but said:
"Thank you, Dean Qian. We will make note of this matter and will definitely not make a big scene."

"But I'm a little curious, why are you suddenly helping us?"

"You weren't like this before."

His words also raised everyone's doubts.

"The past was the past, and the present is the present." Qian Shuyan laughed and said, "The timing was not right before, and he had a lot of things to do, so I naturally couldn't disturb him too much."

"But now, I have asked him openly and secretly. I am not so busy anymore. I can go and bother him."

"But I think he enjoys teaching students. Maybe he just didn't like us being too formal before."

His explanation made everyone suddenly understand.

At the same time, a lot of useful information was also obtained.

It turns out that it wasn’t that they couldn’t hire someone, but that the timing was not right.

……

Radar Research Institute.

After being checked by the guards, Li Mu hurried into the station.

He didn't know that the news that he would give a lecture at the Beijing Institute of Technology the next day would spread like wildfire in Kyoto.

Now there is something more important waiting for him.

——High-horsepower commercial diesel engine, a success!
It took two months and three days, and the research led by the Mechanical Manufacturing Institute produced an engine prototype based on his mere proposal.

Of course, it’s not that he doesn’t want to help, it’s just that there are too many things to do and he doesn’t have time to take care of them.

Plus the latter never looked for him from beginning to end.

He naturally thought that there were no major problems for the time being.

I originally thought that he would come to me if he encountered any obstacles later.

Unexpectedly, success was achieved quietly.

……

Enter the laboratory.

As soon as Li Mu arrived at the door, he heard congratulations and celebrations from inside.

Peng Shilu and Jiang Nanying had already arrived at the scene and were congratulating everyone.

But after seeing him.

Everyone fell silent.

The expert team from the Mechanical Manufacturing Institute who was in charge of the research project stepped forward and said, "Thank you, Consultant Li. Without you, there would be no success of today's commercial high-horsepower diesel generators!"

It’s not that they didn’t encounter difficulties.

But before they even asked, Li Mu had already found a solution for them.

The emergence of 3+2 axis CNC milling machines is undoubtedly a huge change for domestic mechanical manufacturing, making many precisions that they could not achieve before become common standards.

"Don't thank me. I just came up with a research plan. It's more your own efforts." Li Mu nodded and smiled, then asked, "By the way, how is the performance of the sample machine? Did it meet expectations?"
