The Red Era, the Opening University Speech

Chapter 368 Shock Tube Research Group Leader--Yu Hongru

Wang Shoujue hesitated for a moment and said, "I think I don't need to say anything. Just follow Li Mu's idea. It will succeed in nine out of ten cases."

"How can this be possible? Discussions should have everyone express their opinions so that we can come up with better research ideas. Being lazy is not acceptable." Li Mu joked.

Want to run? no way.

……

1 hours later.

Li Mu walked out of the laboratory.

The development plan for the 8-bit processor has basically been finalized.

However, it is easier said than done, but it still takes some time to achieve it.

"Once the 8-bit research is successful, the cost of personal computers will come down, and the local area network will be almost ready. There shouldn't be any problem in building a network covering Kyoto." Li Mu thought silently.

……

After finishing dinner at the Semiconductor Research Institute.

Li Mu returned home.

In the study, he first took out a piece of manuscript paper and prepared to organize his current research plan.

First of all, it must be the research on the high-altitude platform. This is of utmost priority and is related to the advancement of aviation engines and the development of Xia’s aerospace field.

Xia State’s current voice in the air is still too weak.

No matter how advanced the radar is, the best it can do is detect the enemy first and give the enemy an early warning.

Although the Xuanniao-1 helicopter is powerful, it is limited to low altitude and low speed, which is different from the high altitude and high speed focus of fighter jets and bombers, the latter are the key to the struggle for air supremacy.

Simply put, even if the Xia Kingdom had the Xuanniao-1, it would be unlikely to fly it over the head of Emperor M or Big Brother.

But if we have a J-20, let alone flying around, it wouldn't be a problem to even dive back and forth to the enemy's capital.

Today's fighter jets are generally still in the second generation, such as the F-104 "Star" and F-4 "Phantom" of the US Army, and the MiG-21 and MiG-23 of the big brother.

The Xia Kingdom also had a second-generation fighter jet, the J-19, which was copied from the MiG-6 and was put into mass production in 60.

It was only four years later that the first batch of J-4s were delivered to the Air Force for use.

"But even if the J-6 comes out, I'm afraid it won't play a big role in the fight for air supremacy." Li Mu thought secretly.

Although the J-6 is also a second-generation fighter, its performance in all aspects cannot be compared with the second-generation fighters of the M Emperor and Big Brother.

Although building a high-altitude platform will not make up for the gap in the short term, it at least has the possibility of catching up.

Just when Li Mu was thinking deeply.

There was a knock on the door.

He stood up and looked at his watch. It was already around 8 o'clock.

Wang Ya probably won’t be back at this time.

If other people have something to do, they will generally choose to call rather than come directly to the door.

unless……

Li Mu's eyes suddenly lit up and he quickly walked to the door.

When I opened the door, it was indeed Master Qian Wu, whom I hadn't seen for a long time.

Behind him, there was a middle-aged man who looked somewhat familiar.

He said in surprise: "Teacher!"

"Haha, long time no see. I came here without telling you in advance. I hope I didn't disturb you." Master Qian Wu said with a smile.

Hearing this, Li Mu hurriedly said, "How could that be, Teacher, please come in."

As he spoke, he invited Master Qian Wu and the middle-aged man into the house.

He made tea for the two of them first, then returned to the sofa and sat down.

Master Qian Wu first introduced the identity of the middle-aged man and said, "This is Yu Hongru, the leader of the shock tube research group of the Institute of Mechanics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences."

"So you are Professor Yu Hongru." After listening to this, Li Mu suddenly realized.

No wonder he looked familiar, it turned out to be Yu Hongru.

He had only seen photos of the other person when he was old, but had never seen him when he was young.

Looking at Li Mu's surprised expression, Yu Hongru was stunned and said, "Advisor Li, have you really heard of me? I thought Wang Shicun's letter was a lie to me."

"Of course I know. I admire your research achievements in shock tubes very much." Li Mu said with a smile.

Yu Hongru waved his hand and said, "You are too kind. I haven't even produced any decent results so far. It's really not worth mentioning."

Although he firmly believed that his research direction was correct, he was ultimately unsuccessful, and he inevitably felt a little embarrassed when being praised.

He felt even more embarrassed since the person who praised him was Li Mu, who had achieved great success at a young age.

He has nothing to show for it.

"I believe in your ability, and even more so in your ideas, Professor Yu. You will definitely succeed." Li Mu encouraged the other party.

Yu Hongru nodded repeatedly and said, "Then I will accept your good words."

But he was still very happy to get his affirmation.

After all, the experiment has failed so many times, and there are bound to be many questioning voices from the outside world.

Even though several of his teachers told him not to care, he would tell himself not to care.

But how could such a thing be completely ignored?

But with Li Mu's words, I guess no more gossip will happen in the future.

You say it can't be done?
Li Mu said it can be done, are you better than him?

I'm afraid there is no one in Xia's scientific research community who dares to say this.

Master Qian Wu, who was standing by, listened to their conversation and said with a smile:
"Li Mu is right. Although the shock wave wind tunnel is very dangerous, it is still very feasible as long as we make a breakthrough."

“Once we achieve a breakthrough, our wind tunnel capabilities will be able to reach a very high level.”

"You are shouldering a huge responsibility for the development of our country's aerospace industry. You must have confidence and patience."

Hearing this, Yu Hongru nodded solemnly and said, "I will definitely keep this in mind and will never let you down, as well as Consultant Li's affirmation!"

After saying this, he looked at Li Mu again, with obvious hesitation on his face.

Seeing this, Master Qian Wu said, "Tell me, there's nothing to be embarrassed about. If you can get his help, it will be a great thing for your research."

Hearing this, Yu Hongru looked at Li Mu and said:
"Advisor Li, you should have guessed the purpose of Professor Qian and I coming here this time."

"I heard from Wang Shicun in the letter that you have a lot of experience in the research of shock wave wind tunnels."

"Although he didn't say it explicitly, I know that since you are doing research, your level must be very high. If you are willing, I wonder if you are interested in studying with me... No, let me study with you."

His attitude was very sincere.

After all, there are too many halos surrounding Li Mu.

Since entering the scientific research field, there has never been any failed research project.

What is even more legendary is that these research projects spanned many important scientific research fields in the country, and countless talented people had to spend half their lives working hard to achieve some results.

Li Mu, who was only in his 20s, had achieved everything others dreamed of.

This talent and ability is absolutely unique in the world.

If he can join, the research on shock wave wind tunnel will definitely be successful.

Li Mu looked at Yu Hongru, who was looking at him expectantly, and felt the other party's feelings.

——Yu Hongru is not working for his own success, but for the success of the country.

Otherwise, he would not have taken the initiative to give up the power to lead the research. He hesitated for a moment, but finally shook his head and said, "Please forgive me, I'm afraid I can't join."

"Okay." The light in Yu Hongru's eyes dimmed visibly.

Master Qian Wu, who was standing by, took a sip of tea and said nothing.

This is a matter between the two of them. He is just acting as a matchmaker. If Li Mu doesn't want to join, then he won't join. He won't ask for mercy, let alone ask the reason.

If you ask, I guess the answer will be two words - confidential.

Li Mu looked at the frustrated Yu Hongru and said with a smile:
"Although I can't join, if you encounter any problems, you can still come to me and I will do my best to solve them."

"And once I submit my research, there may be more opportunities for contact in the future."

"When the time comes, you must not hide your knowledge. You must give me more guidance on wind tunnel research. My research in this area is definitely not as good as yours."

He had just finished speaking.

Yu Hongru hurriedly said, "Advisor Li, you are joking. Do you still need my advice?"

"Every profession has its own expertise. I only dabble in a few things. My level is definitely not as good as yours." Li Mu said with a smile.

This is true.

"But it also depends on who gets the points!" Yu Hongru couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Just when he was about to continue speaking.

Master Qian Wu suddenly put down the teacup in his hand and asked:

"The research you just mentioned is related to aerospace? If it doesn't leak secrets, why not tell us so we can discuss it together."

Hearing this, Yu Hongru immediately closed his open mouth, and curiosity also appeared in his eyes.

Just now, I was just thinking about how I could possibly guide Li Mu, and I actually overlooked this important information.

Li Mu nodded slightly and said with a smile: "It's not really a confidential research. We just want to build an aerial platform. I heard that we are also doing it in China, but we haven't succeeded yet."

"What, you said you were planning to build an aerial platform!" Master Qian Wu stood up from his seat in shock, his eyes filled with undisguised astonishment.

As the leader of Xia Country's aerospace field, he knew too well the importance of high-altitude platforms.

If we could have an aerial platform, the progress of many of Xia's aviation engine research work would be visibly improved.

Yu Hongru, who was sitting next to him, suddenly realized Li Mu's plan to build an aerial platform and thought to himself, "No wonder he didn't have time to join the wind tunnel research. It turns out he is developing something more important!"

Wind tunnel research is also very difficult.

But compared to the high-altitude platform, it is still much less difficult.

At present, it cannot be said that there has been no progress in the development of high-altitude platforms in China, but it is difficult to see any hope of success.

Some even say that this technology is currently only mastered by major countries such as the United States and Big Brother, and they have the ability to realize it.

No matter how hard Xia State tries to catch up, it will not be able to catch up in a short period of time.

"It's just a plan. It's still in the planning stage. Even the research plan hasn't been reported yet." Li Mu explained with a smile seeing that both of them were so excited.

He naturally believed that there was no problem with the information.

However, whether there is a basis for this realization still needs to be evaluated by a professional team.

Master Qian Wu laughed and said:
"Haha, you've already made your move, how could you not succeed?"

"If we can really build a high-altitude platform, the development of our country's aerospace industry will enter a brand new stage!"

"Hurry up, tell me about your research ideas."

In his excitement, he didn't care about the confidentiality agreement.

Anyway, he will definitely be in charge of the aerial platform project in the end.

"Okay, then I'll tell you about it. If there's anything missing, please feel free to give me some advice, teacher and Professor Yu." Li Mu had no intention of hiding anything and spoke out his research ideas.

……

The next day, early.

At daybreak, Master Qian Wu and Yu Hongru walked out of Li Mu's house with dark circles under their eyes.

The two of them stayed up all night, their eyes were bloodshot, but their spirits were not at all depressed, instead they were full of excitement.

Looking at the two of them, Li Mu couldn't help but worry:
"Teacher, Professor Yu, you should take a rest first before going to the National Academy of Sciences. I haven't even finished writing my proposal yet."

Yu Hongru is young, so it’s better.

But Master Qian Wu really worried him, fearing that something might happen.

"No, no, this matter should be done sooner rather than later. Since you have this research plan, you should let Dean Guo Mo make the arrangements." Master Qian Wu shook his head.

Compared with the slight physical fatigue, the things on the aerial platform are more important.

Scientific research cannot be started immediately once a plan is made; it requires preparation in many aspects.

The aerial platform is a big project and requires more preparation.

It will take at least one or two months to spend on this.

Solving the problem in advance can save a lot of time in the research of the aerial platform.

What does Xiaguo need most now?
It's time.

Only by racing against time can we gain opportunities for development in the confrontation between Emperor M and Big Brother.

Seeing that the two insisted on leaving, Li Mu knew that he could not persuade them anymore, so he said, "Then please wait for a moment. I will ask Jianmin to drive over to take you to the National Academy of Sciences."

After saying that, he immediately went to the room, picked up the phone and called Guan Jianmin.

Seeing this, Qian Wushi and Yu Hongru did not insist.

After all, it is indeed faster to take a car.

……

After seeing off Master Qian Wu and his two companions.

Li Mu returned home.

After talking all night, there was a hint of sleepiness in his eyes.

Inside the house, Wang Ya was clearing the dishes on the table.

When she came back yesterday and saw the three people chatting enthusiastically in the living room, she knew she couldn't persuade them.

So I got up early this morning and made egg noodles for them.

After Wang Ya finished cleaning up, she saw Li Mu still standing in the living room and urged him, "Go and rest."

"No, I still have to go to Beijing Institute of Technology to attend a study session. A lot of people are waiting for me to come over. It would be very rude if I were to be late." Li Mu shook his head helplessly.

It's already past five o'clock, almost six o'clock.

The study session will be held at 10 o'clock in the morning.

There are only a few hours in between, and it would be terrible if you accidentally overslept.

Wang Ya walked forward, put her hands on Li Mu's shoulders, turned him over, pushed him towards the bedroom, and said:
"I'll call you when the time comes."

"It's impolite for you not to attend, but is it not impolite to discuss with others while dozing off?"

"Sleep for a while, then go back."

She doesn't have much strength.

Li Mu could break free with just a little effort.

But he didn't do it in the end.

——After all, it is easy to break free, but it is difficult to coax Wang Ya.
