The Red Era, the Opening University Speech

Chapter 394: Chengdu New Fighter Project
Beijing Institute of Technology.

Alexey was discussing "experience" with the second group of experts who came to Xiaguo.

Suddenly, there were two loud knocks on the door.

Without waiting for him to get up and open the door.

Diplomat Yakov pushed the door open and walked in.

Seeing his stern expression, Alexei was startled and said:
"What's wrong? Are they going to evacuate us again?"

It’s no wonder this is the reaction.

This is how Yakov informed him last time when they evacuated from Xia Country.

And what was a coincidence was that he was also discussing academic issues with a professor from Xia State at that time.

"No, the situation is different now than it was in the past." Yakov explained with a twitching face.

In the past, it was Xia Kingdom that needed their help.

As for now, after losing the aid, Xia State has proved with its own actions that it can still do without them.

Instead, they are trying every possible means to acquire Xia Guo's technology in software engineering and 3+2-axis CNC milling machines.

Yakov didn't want to talk about these bad things anymore.

He got down to business and said, "The domestic intelligence department sent us news that the 'River Map' might be related to Li Mu."

"What, this is impossible!" Alexei almost jumped up.

Yakov said seriously:

"Don't rush to refute it. This is information obtained by our intelligence personnel at great cost."

"I know you have a good relationship with Li Mu."

"But who 'Hetu' is is too important to us. Even if there is only a slight possibility, we must track him down to the end."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Alexei solemnly.

The sudden rise of the Xia Kingdom can be said to be closely related to the emergence of the "River Map".

The intelligence department spent a lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources to track it down.

After stepping on one landmine after another set by the Xia Kingdom and falling into one pit after another.

They had just obtained this valuable information and were determined to get to the bottom of it.

"But you also said that there may be a connection, not necessarily Consultant Li Mu, right?" Alexei said.

He still didn't want to believe that this had anything to do with Li Mu.

Yakov said helplessly:

"No matter if it's possible or not, this is our only clue at the moment. We can only continue investigating."

"Even if it could be another trap set by Xia Country."

"Unless there are people or teams like 'Hetu' and 'Tiangong' in our country, do you think this is possible?"

His question silenced Alexei.

You can tell with your toes that this is impossible.

If the country could surpass the technology developed by Hetu and Tiangong, he would not be here.

"Then how should we investigate? Let me make it clear first, I can't do anything too extreme." Alexei hesitated for a while, but finally agreed.

Yakov said:

"Don't worry, I won't let you do anything like kidnapping people. You can't do it."

"You just need to interact more with Li Mu and make him trust you."

"Other personnel will be sent from China to conduct the investigation. We will let you know when your cooperation is needed."

He slowly recited the instructions.

"Is it that simple?" Alexey was a little bit unbelievable.

Although it is still unclear how to "cooperate" in the end.

But this task is a bit too easy.

Yakov said unhappily:
"Do you really think that the higher-ups will let you do something extraordinary?"

"To tell you the truth, I don't even know how to investigate."

"But remember, if someone comes to us, you must fully cooperate after confirming your identity."

He's just a diplomat.

To be honest, if the intelligence personnel who stayed in Xia Country had not suffered heavy losses in recent times due to their investigations, he would not have to be notified of everything.

After saying this, he looked at another expert who had been sitting and listening for a long time and said:
"You can't just sit there and get in touch with some of Li Mu's friends or acquaintances..."

……

At the same time that Yakov informed Alexei.

The other side of the ocean.

Emperor M, in the National Academy of Sciences.

Atanasoff, Mochley and Aikot walked out of the laboratory door.

As the inventor of the world's first computer, and the two inventors of the first general-purpose computer.

The status of these three people in the computer field of M Emperor is extremely important.

When the intelligence department was convinced that Xia Guo had developed a computer with a computing speed of 100 million times per second.

They were urgently summoned here to carry out relevant research and discussion.

However, in the initial stages, they all agreed that it was impossible for Xia Country to possess such technology.

After all, even for their great Emperor M, it would take at least two or three years to achieve such a high computing speed.

However, the higher-ups were determined and insisted that Xia Country did have it and insisted that they conduct research.

Outside the laboratory, Atanasoff lit a cigarette, took a deep puff and spit it out, then cursed:
"100 million times per second is impossible. The higher-ups are just making things difficult for us!"

"You're right. 20w is already the limit of our technology. If we want to reach 100w, we have to ask God to do it." Moakley followed.

The remaining Acters also started to complain:
"I think the intelligence department must have been deceived by Xia Guo."

“They don’t understand science.”

"A computing speed of 100 million times per second is definitely a trick used by Xia Nation to deceive people!"

The three of them kept cursing the person who made the decision. There was no other way, they tried again and again to optimize the technology and process to the extreme.

I finally managed to come up with a computer that can perform 20 operations per second.

But when I went to report, those lazy lads had an expression of "Is that all?" which would have thrown anyone off guard.

A bunch of bastards who don’t understand science have no idea how powerful their computers are that can perform 20 operations per second!

……

Just as Atanasov and the other two were cursing.

A figure quietly walked behind them.

This person is the president of the M Empire National Academy of Sciences.

But no one knew whether it was intentional or accidental. The three of them acted as if they saw nothing and continued to curse.

"Cough, cough!" The dean coughed heavily twice and interrupted the conversation between the three people with a dark face.

"Oh, Dean, when did you come?" Atanasov asked in surprise.

Yes, he did it on purpose.

The dean said with a gloomy face:

"I've been here for a long time and have been listening to you guys scolding me for a long time."

"Don't complain. To be honest, I still don't believe that Xiaguo can really build a computer with a computing speed of 100 million times per second.

"But you may not know that our intelligence department has obtained the core components of Xiaguo 01 computer and will ship them back to the country soon."

His words shocked Atanasov and the other two so much that their mouths opened wide.

The first thought in my mind was that it was impossible.

But according to what the dean said, the core components of Xia Guo's computer with a computing speed of 100 million times per second have been obtained by them.

Then it is impossible for this matter to be fake, because it will be clear once it is checked.

"I have even worse news." The dean took a deep breath and said:

"According to reliable information from the intelligence department, Xia Country has even developed a Type 1000 computer that can process 02 million times per second!"

His tone was extremely serious.

However, when Atanasov and the other two heard the news, they suddenly laughed.

If the computing speed is 100 million times per second, they might still be able to believe it.

But 1000 million times, it's kind of funny.

"Dean, are you sure that the intelligence department told you this news with a brain?" Atanasov said bluntly.

At his position, he doesn't have to be too cautious when speaking.

Moreover, this matter itself is very suspicious.

The dean said:
"I know you don't believe it."

"But this is the intelligence provided by the intelligence agencies after they paid a heavy price to confirm it."

"And with the experience of 100 million operations per second, do you dare not believe it?"

His words gradually made the smiles on the faces of Atanasov and the other two, who were originally smiling happily, disappear.

That seems to be correct.

They don't have to believe it.

But what if Xia Guozhen later took out a computer with a computing speed of 1000w times per second?

"Damn it, is there really a God helping them?" Atanasov couldn't help but think to himself.

……

Kyoto Train Station.

After dealing with the relevant matters of each research institute.

Li Mu also embarked on a journey to the three provinces.

He and Wang Shicun set off on a special train at the same time.

The spare parts of the Xuanniao-1 helicopter were transported by another train.

The speed is a little slower than theirs by one day, so after arriving, they can rest for a night before starting the experiment.

……

On the train.

Wang Shicun enthusiastically pulled Li Mu aside to discuss the development of domestic fighter jets.

He concluded:
"Whether in terms of technology or craftsmanship, our country's current fighter jet level is at least one level behind the world."

As he said this, Wang Shicun couldn't help but sigh.

The Xia Kingdom is far behind in so many ways.

Even if they developed the Xuanniao-1 helicopter, it only made up for one shortcoming.

There are many more places where they are still in the difficult stage of exploration and research.

"Don't be afraid of falling behind. At least in terms of technology, we have gradually caught up." Li Mu was not in a hurry to discuss the development of new fighter jets with Wang Shicun.

After all, Da Ying’s fighter jet is good, but it is far inferior to that of Emperor M.

Moreover, the cost is too high.

Even with the help of data, a lot of R&D costs can be saved.

But any fighter jet can cost tens of millions of pounds.

Xia Guo was a bit rich, but not rich enough to spend so much money at once to support his research and development.

Even if the higher-ups gritted their teeth and decided to conduct the research, Li Mu still felt heartbroken.

"That's true. Our industry has indeed made a lot of progress. I'm going to tell you something in secret, please don't tell anyone else. I heard that Chengdu has launched a new fighter jet research project, and they plan to develop it independently." Wang Shicun said.

Logically, he wouldn't know such a secret.

But who made Tang Yanjie want to lure Li Mu to the Aviation Academy?

After listening to this, Li Mu nodded at first, and then suddenly froze.

Chengdu?
Isn't that where Askew goes?
