The Red Era, the Opening University Speech

Chapter 384 Research and Development of Mining Equipment

Just as they were excitedly reporting the good news to Li Mu.

A figure appeared at the door of the laboratory.

It was Jiang Nanying, deputy director of the Radar Research Institute.

Seeing Li Mu, he immediately rushed forward and said, "Advisor Li, it's a success. The ground-penetrating radar has been built!"

Hear the news.

Peng Shilu and Bi De, who were originally happy, were stunned for a moment, and then showed a look of disappointment.

But soon, they smiled and congratulated, "Congratulations to Consultant Li and Director Jiang for finally building the ground-penetrating radar."

They felt disappointed because they were far behind the ground-penetrating radar development team, but that did not affect their happiness about this matter.

"We should be happy. Thank you for your hard work!" Li Mu nodded to show his approval and said, "But making a ground-penetrating radar is only the first step. Whether it can play its due role is the most important thing."

Jiang Nanying said:

"Advisor Li, we have tested it and found that the current ground-penetrating radar can detect depths of up to 3000 meters."

"Within this numerical range, all underground targets can be clearly detected."

"And the extreme depth can reach 5000 to 8000 meters..."

He reported in detail the various test data of the ground penetrating radar to Li Mu and Peng Shilu.

After listening, Peng Shilu and Bi Dexian both nodded in affirmation.

However, Jiang Nanying didn't even look at them, but stared at Li Mu closely, waiting for his praise.

"Yes, since there is no problem with the experiment, the next step is to consider how to apply it." Li Mu pondered for a moment, then said.

Hearing this, Jiang Nanying's face showed joy.

Direct application is undoubtedly the highest recognition for him and the entire research team.

Of course, Li Mu had his considerations for saying this.

The original intention of developing ground-penetrating radar was actually to find a reason for discovering those well-known mineral resources in later generations.

Now that we have the stuff, this matter must be put on the agenda.

"Then I will report to President Guo and apply for permission to conduct resource exploration in the three provinces." Peng Shilu said immediately.

As the areas with the richest mineral resources in Xia State, the three provinces are undoubtedly the best places for resource exploration.

Li Mu waved his hand and said, "No need, I can just go and talk about it. It just so happens that I will be going to three provinces in a while. How about you go with me, Director Jiang?"

If Peng Shilu were allowed to go and talk, it would be very likely that Jiang Nanying would go there with her own people, and he would have nothing to do.

If he did this, how could he quietly direct Jiang Nanying to use ground-penetrating radar to discover those mineral resources that have not yet been found?

"Of course it would be best to have you, Consultant Li, lead the team!" Jiang Nanying agreed without even thinking.

Peng Shilu naturally had no reason to refuse, so he just smiled and said, "After talking so much, we still haven't seen the ground-penetrating radar with our own eyes. Let's go and inspect the results together."

After saying that, he made a gesture of invitation to Li Mu.

Li Mu did not refuse and followed the three people to the ground penetrating radar research and development team.

Looking at the machine is one thing, he also has another thing to do.

Ground-penetrating radar alone is not enough.

Taking this opportunity, we might as well put forward the idea of ​​developing mining equipment.

By the time the mineral resources were found, the equipment was almost built.

By then, once the machines start moving, resources will be able to be mined quickly, and Xia's industrial development will be able to enter the real fast lane!

Within the ground penetrating radar development team.

The huge machine is placed in the center of the laboratory and is still in operation.

After Li Mu, Peng Shilu and others came over, they did not get too close.

Although the radiation level of ground penetrating radar is within a safe range and usually does not cause harm to human health, it is still necessary to maintain a certain distance to avoid being directly affected.

After seeing them coming.

The busy researchers quickly stopped their work and came forward to report their results.

"The emergence of ground penetrating radar has brought great convenience to our country in the fields of geological survey, water conservancy project inspection and building structure inspection!" a professor exclaimed.

After he finished speaking, another expert immediately said: "I think the most important thing is geological survey. With this ground-penetrating radar, the large amount of mineral resources buried in the land under our feet can be discovered and then mined continuously!"

Other experts and professors also expressed their agreement.

If we were to ask what Xia Kingdom lacks the most right now, mineral resources would undoubtedly be one of them.

Listening to everyone's words, Jiang Nanying couldn't help but say:

"Everyone, rest assured. Consultant Li will be visiting three provinces soon. By then, the ground-penetrating radar we made will surely shine!"

"When the time comes, our research team will definitely go with them."

"If you're not in a hurry, I think you can go with me and see the ground-penetrating radar in action with your own eyes!"

Many of these experts and professors were transferred from universities and research institutions across the country.

Once the research is finished, many people may have to go back immediately. So he needs to spread the news first, so that by the time he reaches the three provinces, most people will have left.

"That's simply great!" The experts and professors first showed delighted expressions.

However, when he thought about the news that their respective units had been urging them to return more and more frequently, his face became bitter again.

Seeing this, Li Mu said, "This matter can't be forced, and the result will definitely be reported in the newspaper in the end, and everyone will be able to see it then, so don't worry too much."

After hearing this, everyone's expressions relaxed a lot and they smiled again.

Although they were delighted to witness the moment of success, they had more important things to do and it was impossible for them to travel to three provinces just to take a look.

"But the three provinces don't have to go. We still have to attend the celebration banquet. I will discuss something with the experts and professors in mechanical engineering later. Everyone wait a moment and we will have a meal together. Director Peng, what do you think?" Li Mu continued.

Peng Shilu agreed and nodded, "Of course, there will be plenty of braised pork today, and I guarantee that everyone will enjoy it to their heart's content!"

After saying that, he asked someone to inform the kitchen staff about the extra meal tonight.

However, he was not in a hurry to leave, but stayed.

After all, he couldn't help but be curious about what Li Mu wanted to discuss.

Many other experts and professors in mechanical engineering would not have left unless they were driven away. They just took a few steps back to make some space.

"Advisor Li, are you going to talk about new research?" asked a professor of mechanical engineering.

After he opened his mouth, the other four experts and professors couldn't help but look at him expectantly.

The feeling of following Li Mu in research is simply indescribable.

From the beginning to success, we encountered almost no major difficulties or obstacles, and the ground penetrating radar was easily developed in just two or three months.

In the past, they might not be able to complete it even if they were given two or three years.

This is not self-deprecation, but the truth.

Even though everyone is familiar with the research plans given by Li Mu, they can't help but be shocked every time they read them again.

Facing everyone's gaze, Li Mu nodded slightly and said:

"Some research ideas on mining equipment."

"With ground-penetrating radar, we can discover mineral resources buried underground."

"But this is not enough. With our country's current mining equipment, it is difficult to mine these resources quickly, so we must develop new equipment!"

His voice was rhythmic and powerful.

The four experts and professors present were all very excited.

"Advisor Li, what you said is really great. It touched upon the focus of our country's industrial development and also hit the nail on the head!" a professor couldn't help but say.

To be honest, after they developed the ground-penetrating radar, it is impossible that they did not consider continuing to develop mining equipment.

It is very valuable to discover more mineral resources.

However, without sufficiently powerful mining equipment, no matter how much minerals there are, they cannot be quickly converted into the basic resources needed for industrial development in the short term.

"Just give us your instructions. We are willing to continue our research with you without any hesitation!" The other four experts and professors also continued.

Although their original units had called them back, compared to conducting research with Li Mu, what they had originally done was not worth mentioning at all.

Seeing everyone's high morale, Li Mu smiled slightly and said:
"With the help of experts and professors, I think the research will be successful."

"Without further ado, I will now tell you what we are going to study next."

"First, there are drum-type continuous miners, auger-type tunneling machines, and hydraulic excavators, which are more widely applicable..."

He first told everyone about the centralized mining equipment that was more common in the 80s.

As time goes by, the technical content will be higher, and the level of automation is unlikely to be achieved now, so there is no need to rush to bring it up.

……

It took an hour.

Li Mu shared the basic research ideas of four types of mining equipment with everyone.

As for the detailed research plan, there is no rush to come up with it.

After all, it is obviously unrealistic to develop so much mining equipment with only 5 people.

Increasing manpower is imperative.

Therefore, after he finished speaking, he looked at Peng Shilu who had been silently recording in the back, and said, "I'd like to trouble Director Peng to report the matters that require manpower later."

"Of course. Even if Consultant Li didn't say it, I would have reported it. This is a double blessing!" Peng Shilu grinned.

The success of ground-penetrating radar was already a cause for great celebration.

The emergence of these mining equipment is even better news.

Afterwards, everyone went to the cafeteria and started to have a celebratory banquet.

The big piece of braised pork was so fragrant that your mouth would be filled with oil when you took a bite. Everyone felt so happy eating it.

Although there is enough food now, eating meat is still a luxury.

What's more, this is an all-you-can-eat meal.
