The Red Era, the Opening University Speech

Chapter 403: The design drawings were just brought out so easily?

On the contrary, the security force around Li Mu has been increased by more than ten times to prevent any accidents from happening.

As long as there is any sign of loss of control, they will take action immediately and eliminate all potential dangers at all costs.

"Okay, okay, leader, it's okay for me not to test fly it. But when there are no problems in the end, I will fly it again as an acceptance inspection, is that okay?" Li Mu sighed.

This request is not excessive.

However, Wu Xue still looked at Wang Shicun, and only agreed after the latter nodded.

After persuading Li Mu.

The tense expressions on everyone's faces slowly relaxed.

Wu Xue smiled and continued:
"Look, I was so anxious just now that I forgot to congratulate you first."

"Congratulations to Consultant Li for successfully completing the wind tunnel test!"

"You have created a powerful military weapon for our country!"

After he finished speaking, Lin Zhen also started to congratulate him.

The leader of Heicheng County was a beat slow, but also quickly opened his mouth to congratulate.

Right inside the research institute, everyone was celebrating.

The spy who had been keeping watch near the research site for a long time also reported the intelligence.

These days, they have been keeping an eye on Li Mu's movements almost all the time.

After all, the cost of arresting people is too high, so they are still focusing on investigation for the time being.

The fact that no particularly useful information was found had already caused some people to back off.

But the sudden appearance of Wu Xue and Lin Zhen made them keenly aware that something was wrong.

……

Somewhere in a small courtyard.

After a series of attempts and confirming that no one was following him, the spy disguised as an ordinary person walked into the room in the yard.

Inside the house, an old man was already waiting there.

Seeing the other party, the spy said: "Today, Wu Xue, Lin Zhen and many county leaders from the three provinces went to the Fengtian Aerodynamics Research Institute."

"Wu Xue actually stayed here for so many days. The reason behind this is worth pondering!" The old man nodded slightly, his eyes showing a thoughtful look.

They knew that many top leaders from the three provinces went to Fengtian Railway Station to welcome Li Mu.

Although some people suspected that Li Mu was the mysterious "Hetu", no one dared to make this conclusion.

After all, what the higher-ups want is real evidence, not such conjectural results.

The past practice of rather killing the wrong person than letting him go is no longer applicable to their current situation.

They need to confirm the relationship between Li Mu and He Tu as much as possible before planning their actions.

Otherwise, a task of this level would require mobilizing their secret personnel across the three provinces to have a certain chance of completion.

Once failed, not only would the losses be difficult to recover, but we would also lose the power to continue investigating Hetu and Tiangong.

"Is there any way to get in and try to find out what happened?" The old man pondered for a moment, then asked.

The spy shook his head without even thinking about it and said, "It's impossible. Since Li Mu arrived, the security level has been increased by at least 10 times!"

If it were in the past, there might have been a chance to sneak in.

But now, let alone getting in, even getting close is impossible without light.

"We must try it. There is a high possibility that there is something hidden in the Fengtian Aerodynamics Research Institute that can prove whether Li Mu is He Tu or not!" A gleam of light suddenly flashed in the old man's eyes, and he said firmly.

Although this could possibly be a trap set by Xia Guo, it is indeed a good opportunity to confirm Li Mu's identity.

As long as they get information that can prove that Li Mu is related to Hetu, they will use all their strength to resolve this threat.

……

Inside the research institute, Li Mu had no idea that he had been targeted.

Facing everyone's congratulations, he smiled and said: "The success of the experiment is all thanks to everyone's efforts. I dare not take all the credit for it!"

Speaking of hard work, everyone works hard.

Even though he stays up late every day, many people spend just as much time on experiments as he does, and some even spend more time than him.

"Advisor Li, please don't be too modest. The work we do can be done by anyone, but you are absolutely irreplaceable!" Xu Shunshou said with emotion.

What he was talking about was not only the development of the Xuanniao-1 helicopter, but also the entire wind tunnel test.

It can be said that Li Mu's contribution exceeded all of their expectations.

It was originally an experimental plan. Although nominally it was mainly composed of him, Li Mu and Wu Daguan, in fact Li Mu was just an assistant. After all, he had no experience in wind tunnel testing.

But in the actual process, the talent and ability demonstrated by Li Mu deeply impressed every professor in the experimental group.

The experiment also unknowingly became dominated by him.

"Okay, stop pushing the blame around. You're all heroes. I've already informed everyone before coming here. Let's have a celebration banquet today and have fun together!" Wu Xue said with a wave of his hand.

Hearing this, everyone in the test site immediately cheered.

……

At night.

The celebratory banquet was rich in food and plenty of meat and vegetables, which made everyone enjoy the meal to their heart's content.

Wu Xue, Lin Zhen and other county leaders who were staying in Fengtian also came to express their congratulations and toasted Li Mu frequently.

Of course, they were the only ones drinking.

Li Mu always drinks tea instead of wine, and no matter who advises him, he keeps the habit of not drinking alcohol.

In later times, it would obviously be impossible to be so eccentric.

But in this era, everyone admires the word "ability", especially after Li Mu said "I don't want to affect my own thinking", no one tried to persuade him to drink anymore.

After all, in their eyes, Li Mu's brain is absolutely extremely precious, and every brilliant idea in it is enough to influence the technological development pattern of Xia Country.

If they suffer any harm due to drinking, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are sinners of the country.

……

Halfway through the meal.

When Li Mu was chatting with Wang Shicun, Xu Shunshou and Wu Daguan about the development of the wind tunnel, he was suddenly called away by Wu Xue's secretary.

Waited to the director's office of Fu Huasheng.

Looking at the two guards standing at the door, his heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Enter the room.

Wu Xue and Lin Zhen were sitting on the sofa with serious expressions, and a middle-aged man in casual clothes was standing beside them.

Seeing him waiting, the middle-aged man immediately stood up from his seat, saluted him, and said, "Hello, Advisor Li Mu, I am Shi Jin from the Security Committee."

"Hello, hello." Li Mu stretched out his hand and shook hands with the other party.

He immediately looked at Wu Xue with a puzzled look and asked, "Leader, what's going on?"

"It's about spies." Wu Xue let out a long breath, his face full of worry.

"According to Comrade Shi Jin, there is a group of people who have set their sights on you."

"And it is very likely that they will plan an operation in the near future to infiltrate the institute to find out what you are doing here this time."

"Although we have targeted you, I suggest you move to a safer place and have someone protect you."

After truly witnessing Li Mu's abilities, he realized what kind of scientist he was and how important he was to the Xia Kingdom.

Apart from anything else, during the business trip, I was able to find research ideas and prepare to solve the problem of the 10,000-ton extruder that many domestic experts and professors have not been able to solve.

It is no exaggeration to say that this talent is unprecedented and will never be surpassed.

"Thank you for your concern, leader, but if I leave now, wouldn't it indirectly confirm the spy's speculation?" Li Mu shook his head and said.

The spies had no way of confirming his identity, that was for sure.

If it is really confirmed, it is hard to say for Big Brother now, because Emperor M will definitely try his best to kill him.

Thinking of this, Li Mu looked at Shi Jin and continued, "You should be prepared for this situation, right?"

He remembered that Wu Xue had told him about the above plan before coming.

Use yourself as bait and eliminate as many spies as possible.

Then, he would become an obvious trap in the eyes of Big Brother and Emperor M's intelligence department.

In this way, without any other intelligence to prove his identity, he can be safe for a considerable period of time.

"Yes, there are, but Consultant Li, no matter how careful the plan is, it is difficult to guarantee that it will be foolproof." Shi Jin shook his head.

Guarantee that there is no danger at all - they have made such a military order countless times, and have defended this promise with their lives time and time again.

But here, they can't say.

It’s not that I don’t dare, it’s that I can’t.

If any mistake occurs, it will be an irreparable huge loss for the Xia Kingdom.

Li Mu looked at Shi Jin, pondered for a moment, and said:
"It takes a thousand days to catch a thief, but it takes a thousand days to guard against a thief."

"Besides, there is nothing foolproof in the world. It is worth taking a risk and solving the problem once and for all."

"And I have great faith in the abilities of the comrades on the Security Committee, so just go ahead and do your job. If you need my cooperation, just let me know."

He could certainly have chosen a safer approach.

But once doubt arises, it will only grow deeper.

Big Brother and Emperor M will not give up the investigation of "Hetu" and "Tiangong". Sooner or later, they will invest more energy to investigate themselves.

Instead of doing that, it is better to take the initiative!
What if I doubt myself again later?
Li Mu believes that when the J-10 and J-20 are hovering over the heads of Big Brother and Emperor M, they will carefully consider the cost of angering the Xia Kingdom.

"In that case..." Shi Jin paused, glanced at Wu Xue, and after the latter nodded slightly, he said:
"We will ensure your safety at all costs."

"As for the issue of cooperation, we do need your help in forging scientific research data that can fool those spies."

"It would be best if it has nothing to do with semiconductors, so that we can deceive Emperor M and Big Brother in the future."

The Security Committee's plan is to catch all the spies in one fell swoop.

Then they deliberately let one or two fish slip through the net, allowing them to send away the hard-earned intelligence.

As long as it can be proved that what Li Mu is doing here has nothing to do with the semiconductors that Hetu is mainly researching, it will be enough to clear most of the suspicion on him.

"No need to pretend, I'm currently researching some new things that I can show off." Li Mu said with a smile. As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Xue beside him asked, "Are you talking about... a 10,000-ton extruder?"

"That's right, Emperor M and Big Brother already have this technology. Even if I develop it, they won't feel threatened." Li Mu nodded.

Compared with Xia State, Emperor M and Big Brother are in a comprehensive leading position in terms of industrial foundation.

A 10,000-ton extruder is really not something they would be interested in.

The idea was a good one, but Wu Xue was a little confused and asked, "I heard that you have just started your research. Do you have an idea already?"

"Well, there are indeed some small breakthroughs." Li Mu said with a smile.

Since the purpose is to confuse the public, more information should be provided.

……

After discussing things.

Shi Jin left quickly.

Li Mu walked out of the office and took a deep breath of the cool evening breeze.

My brain, which had been a little heated due to nervousness, suddenly calmed down a lot.

Wu Xue and Lin Zhen followed him out.

Seeing his movements, I couldn't help but tease him, "Why, you were so brave just now, fearless, but now you're worried?"

"There are indeed some. After all, I have only seen spies being caught on the street once in my life, but I have never even seen them in person." Li Mu said frankly.

It is impossible to say that I am not afraid.

When he first came to this era, he was not afraid because he felt that such things were too far away from him and had nothing to do with him.

Even if there really were spies, it was impossible for them to target such an insignificant person as him.

But now it’s different. No matter whether it’s Hetu or the things created by Tiangong, they are enough to make Emperor M try his best to kill him.

"If you regret it now, I can go and call Comrade Shi Jin back." After hearing this, Wu Xue straightened his face and said immediately.

Lin Zhen also said:
"The leader is right. You don't have to feel embarrassed."

"Your life safety comes first."

"I'll go stop him right away."

As he said this, he was still afraid that Li Mu would not nod for the sake of face, so he turned around and prepared to stop him.

Neither of them thought that Li Mu's regret was due to his fear of death.

On the contrary, I am very glad that he changed his mind.

Seeing this, Li Mu hurriedly stopped them and said with a smile:
"No, no, there's no point in backing out now."

"I'm just expressing my feelings. I have no intention of changing my mind."

"You have to trust the comrades on the Security Committee. If all else fails, you can trust my own skills."

He said, raising his fist.

Although I have no practical experience, I can definitely give the spy a surprise by catching the enemy by surprise.

"Forget it. It's better if you don't have this opportunity." Wu Xue and Lin Zhen said helplessly.

If this situation really happens, they would rather something happen to themselves than to see Li Mu get hurt.

……

After the conversation.

Li Mu returned to the dormitory.

Sitting at the desk, he concentrated slightly. He could clearly hear the sounds of Zhao Canjun doing push-ups and Guan Jianmin turning pages of a book next to him.

The improvement of his physical fitness has never been a simple strengthening of physical strength, but an all-round strengthening.

Although it is not as exaggerated as tearing apart one's daily life with bare hands, it is still quite exaggerated compared to ordinary people.

"But if we can avoid fighting, we'd better not fight." Li Mu said to himself.

Everyone is afraid of death, and he is no exception.

If you can rely on your keen five senses to avoid the threat in advance, there is no need to take action at all.

"Continue your research." Li Mu quickly returned to his normal research state.

In addition to the normal J-10 data memorization tonight, we also need to work hard to produce the preliminary design drawings of the -ton extruder.

Only with this thing can you deceive the spies who come to your door.

……

The next day, early.

Even though the experiment was over, Li Mu still did not slack off.

After washing up and exercising, I continued to study.

When it was almost 11 o'clock, he went to find Wang Shicun to discuss the test flight.

Although his people were not allowed to pass, it did not affect his ability to offer advice.

After talking for about half an hour, Guan Jianmin suddenly came over and said, "Li Shu and Zhou Lan are here, and they brought someone with them."

Hearing this, Li Mu was shocked. After quickly finishing his conversation with Wang Shicun, he turned and left.

……

Inside the reception room of the institute.

Li Shu and Zhou Lan were sitting on one of the sofas, and the middle-aged man sitting opposite them was Wang Zhengan, the design director of Fengtian Heavy Machinery Plant.

The three of them didn't expect to meet Li Mu right away, so they chatted while drinking tea.

"Is this consultant Li really knowledgeable about 10,000-ton extruders?" Wang Zhengan took a sip of tea and confirmed with Li Shu and the others again.

After all, this is really too unbelievable.

Before Li Mu, there was almost no research data on 10,000-ton extruders in China.

It’s not that I don’t want to do it, but that I can’t do it.

Although the latest instructions from above have asked them to make every effort to overcome this technical difficulty in recent times, no one knows how to do it or how to conduct the research.

Li Shu said: "Director Wang, you don't have to trust me, but can you trust Consultant Li Mu?"

"It's not a good idea to blindly listen and believe. Even if the idea he gave you is very good, it doesn't prove how high his attainments are in researching 10,000-ton extruders." Wang Zhengan shook his head.

He knew that Li Mu was a nationally renowned scientist, and he also admired his achievements.

It's just scientific research, and it has never had much to do with fame.

Li Shu opened his mouth and was about to continue to refute.

At this moment, a voice came from outside the door, saying: "You are right. Scientific research must not be blindly followed. Only by questioning authority can we surpass authority!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a young man with a handsome face and gentle temperament walked in from outside the door.

Wang Zhengan recognized him immediately and quickly stood up and introduced himself, "Hello, Consultant Li. I am Wang Zhengan, the design director of Fengtian Heavy Machinery Plant."

"Hello, hello. I wonder what brings you here, Director Wang?" Li Mu smiled and shook hands with the other party, then asked knowingly.

Wang Zhengan rubbed his hands and said, "I saw the questions you asked Li Shu and Zhou Lan. Are you researching a 10,000-ton extruder?"

I just said something bad about someone behind his back and was heard, so it's inevitable that I feel a little embarrassed.

"It's not really research. It's just a spur of the moment idea. I want to give it a try and see if there's a chance to solve this technical difficulty." Li Mu said.

Hearing this, Wang Zhengan couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, and said, "So, you don't plan to spend too much time on this?"

Although he felt that Li Mu would not be able to conduct in-depth research on the 10,000-ton extruder in such a short period of time, as long as he was willing to work hard, there was still hope that this difficulty could be solved.

He had no doubt about Li Mu's ability because of his great reputation.

"I don't plan to. After all, heavy machinery is not my strong point. I can only say that I will try my best to provide some information for comrades who are going to make technological breakthroughs in the 10,000-ton extruder in the future." Li Mu said with a smile.

Hearing this, Wang Zhengan's eyes became even more disappointed.

Seeing this, Li Mu smiled slightly and continued, "By the way, Director Wang, you are so interested in the 10,000-ton extruder. Are you planning to do some research on it?"

"It's okay to tell you. Kyoto has recently issued instructions to gather experts and professors from all over the country to form a task force to build a 10,000-ton extrusion machine!" Wang Zhengan thought for a while and said.

With Li Mu's level, anyone can find out the answer to this question.

So he doesn't need to worry about confidentiality.

Li Mu said: "So it has already started, are you involved?"

"I just finished the things I was doing recently, and when I heard Li Shu and Zhou Lan talking about you, I hurried over to visit you." Wang Zhengan said.

The country is going to make every effort to develop a 10,000-ton extruder, but it is currently in the preparation stage and has not yet started.

Li Mu nodded slightly, not surprised by this.

Historically, Wang Zhengan became the chief designer of the 10,000-ton extruder only after layers of discussions and resolutions.

Then, a complete design plan was produced in 10 days and was approved in one go.

Although the research on a 10-ton extruder will certainly take more than days, its scientific research capabilities are absolutely first-class.

Thinking of this, Li Mu felt that the small talk was almost over.

He took out a piece of paper with the preliminary design of the 10,000-ton extruder from his briefcase and said, "Since you are able to participate in the research and development, you must have a deep understanding of the 10,000-ton extruder. This is my current research result. I would like to ask for your advice."

"I don't deserve your advice." Wang Zhengan waved his hand quickly and said modestly before taking the manuscript.

Originally he thought it was another problem similar to the ones in the hands of Li Shu and Zhou Lan, but when he looked closely - it was a design drawing!

"This is the design drawing of a 10,000-ton extruder!" Li Shu and Zhou Lan at the side also came forward, took a look, and immediately exclaimed.

Although it is only a preliminary design drawing, it is still amazing.

It has been less than a week since Li Mu met them and decided to help research the 10,000-ton extruder!
The design drawings were just brought out so beautifully?

Wang Zhengan did not react at all. He just stared at the design drawing, looking at every line and every data on it, outlining the shape of the 10,000-ton extruder in his mind.

It took him a long while to come back to his senses from this state.

He stood up immediately, bowed solemnly, and said:
"Advisor Li, I want to apologize for my disrespect to you just now."

"Your research on the 10,000-ton extruder has already been at the forefront in our country."

"With your leadership, I believe we can definitely build a 10,000-ton extruder!"
