The Red Era, the Opening University Speech

Chapter 412 Today is Consultant Li’s Birthday

Listening to everyone praising him to the sky, Li Mu waved his hands and said:
"Thank you very much, thank you very much. There is no research that only one person can do."

"I am just a little ahead of the professors."

"Well, since everyone agrees, I will apply to the higher-ups tonight and start the research as soon as possible."

After he finished speaking.

Lin Suan hesitated for a moment and asked, "So fast?"

It’s not that he doesn’t believe Li Mu.

It's just that at the academic exchange meeting, they were still discussing theoretical content.

It is a bit too fast to fast forward to the official start of research.

"How about we start the project first? Fengtian is already working on a 10,000-ton extruder, and I'm afraid they can't allocate much research resources to us. It's better to slow down and wait for more people to come over," said an old professor.

He thought Li Mu had said something wrong, so he gave him a way out.

There is a big difference between officially starting research and preparing to start research.

The former requires at least a systematic and scientific research plan, while the latter is the process of discussing this plan.

It would be embarrassing if Li Mu couldn't come up with a research plan.

"Okay, then let's wait and start after everyone arrives." Li Mu didn't say anything like he already had half of the research plan.

The longer you wait, the more you will have to wait.

Anyway, it will not affect his continued training of experts and professors headed by Lin Su'an and his continued research according to his ideas during this period.

……

After discussing the matter.

Li Mu looked at his watch and it was already around seven o'clock in the evening.

Seeing that the time was almost up, he stood up and said goodbye.

After leaving the cafeteria, he walked straight to the car parked in front of the school's administrative building, preparing to go to the Fengtian Heavy Machinery Factory to take a look.

"I have to go to the aircraft manufacturing factory tomorrow. There can be no problems with the production of the Xuanniao-1 helicopter." Li Mu thought as he opened the car door.

After getting in the car, he said directly: "Let's go to the heavy machinery factory."

After saying that, he closed his eyes and opened the chat page.

The production of Xuanniao-1 helicopters is not a problem now. The problem is how to produce enough Xuanniao-1 helicopters before the war with India.

Just as he was watching intently, he suddenly felt someone poking his face with a finger.

"Hmm?" Li Mu frowned slightly and said, "Xiao Guan, stop making trouble!"

But as soon as he said this, he realized something was wrong.

This finger is completely different from Guan Jianmin's rough hands and is very soft.

Coupled with the familiar scent at the tip of his nose, Li Mu recognized the identity of the person: "Xiao Ya!"

The moment his name was called, he opened his eyes and looked at the seat next to him.

Sure enough, it was Wang Ya.

"It's really you. Why are you here?" Li Mu looked at his wife with a sweet smile and couldn't help but go forward and hug her.

Guan Jianmin and Zhao Canjun, who were sitting in the front, opened the car door tacitly and walked out of the car without even looking back.

But even so, Wang Ya hurriedly said, "It's me, it's me. Okay, let me go. This is a school. What if someone sees us?"

Although there is nothing wrong with a little intimacy between husband and wife.

But Li Mu's hugging and cuddling was too intimate.

"So what if we are seen? I am hugging my own wife, who cares?" Li Mu did not let go, but hugged her even tighter.

He continued: "By the way, you haven't told me why you got here?"

"I have finished my research and my teacher gave me three days off. I thought your birthday is coming soon, so I came to see you," Wang Ya explained.

Hearing this, Li Mu couldn't help but be deeply moved.

But although I am touched, I still have to learn the lesson.

He let go of Wang Ya, looked at the deep fatigue in her eyes, and gently scratched her nose as a punishment, saying:
"I don't think it was a three-day holiday, it was a forced 'vacation'."

He knew Wang Ya's character very well.

Even if it is a vacation, it is impossible to accept a vacation as long as 3 days.

"I've already said it's okay, it's the teacher..." Wang Ya wanted to try to explain, but seeing Li Mu's eyes, her voice became weaker and she said:

"Don't worry, I slept on the train for a whole day and night, so I'm not tired anymore. Here, this is my birthday present for you."

As she spoke, she took out a thick scarf from her pocket.

"You knitted it? It's very good, but why is it that one part of it is good and the other part is not?" Li Mu looked at the stitches and asked curiously.

Wang Ya blushed and said:
“I learned it from my grandmother, but I was too busy, so I only knitted half and she knitted the other half.”

"I thought the weather in the three provinces gets cold early, and I don't know how long you will stay here, so I knitted it and prepared to send it to you."

"If you don't like it, give it back to me."

As she said this, she prepared to grab the scarf.

But Li Mu would never let her succeed, he dodged and said: "I like it, it contains your love and grandma's love, how could I not like it."

After hearing this, Wang Ya gave up the fight.

However, the distance between the two of them was therefore extremely close.

"Let's go back to the dormitory first. I'll slowly tell you about my visit to Sansheng during this period." Li Mu held down his gun and suggested.

The gun that was pressed was real!
Ever since the last spy incident, he has always carried the Type 54 with him.

"Okay~" Wang Ya nodded obediently.

……

Afterwards, Li Mu took Wang Ya back to the Fengtian Aerodynamics Research Institute.

The car just drove into the station.

The sharp-eyed Fu Huasheng immediately noticed Wang Ya sitting next to him.

Seeing this, he ran up quickly and said, "Advisor Li, this is..."

"My wife, Wang Ya." Li Mu introduced Wang Ya and said, "This is the director of the Fengtian Aerodynamics Research Institute, Director Fu Huasheng."

Hearing this answer, Fu Huasheng showed an expression of as expected, and continued to ask: "So it's your wife, a rare guest, a rare guest, I wonder why you are here?"

Not many people actually know about Li Mu's wife.

"Director Fu, you're too polite. I'm on vacation and wanted to come over to celebrate his birthday. It's just a private matter. I'll stay for one night and then leave. I won't stay too long." Wang Ya said quickly.

Hearing this, Fu Huasheng was stunned.

He looked at Li Mu.

Seeing this, Li Mu suddenly had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, the next moment, Fu Huasheng shouted directly:

"Lao Du, Lao Bai, today is Consultant Li's birthday. Why don't you hurry up and get some food ready? Ask the kitchen staff to cook some delicious dishes so we can celebrate!"

"No, no, no, why are you celebrating for me?" Li Mu tried to stop her.

But when Fu Huasheng opened his mouth, it was no longer possible to hide the matter.

Soon, someone poked his head down from the laboratory building and asked, "Director, is it really Consultant Li's birthday?"

"Of course. Consultant Li and his wife are here. How could it be a day off?" Fu Huasheng said immediately.

The person asking the questions was stunned for a moment, looked at Li Mu, then at Wang Ya, and then ran away quickly.

As he ran, he shouted, "Advisor Li's wife is here to celebrate his birthday. Advisor Li's wife..."

Celebrating birthdays is not uncommon.

Even though it was for Li Mu, everyone came out slowly and was not in a hurry at all.

After all, we have been together for such a long time and have met each other countless times. We are already so familiar with each other that we can't be more familiar with each other.

But after hearing the news that Li Mu's wife had arrived.

Everyone's pace quickened.

Those who had originally planned to finish the experiments at hand before going down also quickly put down their work and ran out of the laboratory to see what was going on.

They all knew that Li Mu had a wife.

But apart from the name, nothing is known about it.

——No one can help but be curious about what kind of woman a great scientist like Li Mu would marry.

So in a short while, a large group of people came to the open space in the station.

After seeing Wang Ya, everyone couldn't help but sigh in their hearts: "She is worthy of being Consultant Li Mu's wife, she is really beautiful!"

Some even praised it directly, saying:

"Counselor Li, your wife is so beautiful!"

"Yes, we have always been curious about what kind of woman can be worthy of you!"

"We saw it today and it really didn't disappoint us. It's so beautiful!"

……

Listening to the praises from all around her, Wang Ya's face turned red from her neck to her ears.

It was the first time for her to be praised by so many people.

Li Mu held her hand, looked at everyone, and said, "You are wrong. Beauty is only the least noteworthy advantage of my wife."

Facing the curious crowd, Li Mu formally introduced Wang Ya to them.

When they learned that the two graduated from the same university and now work in the same research institute, many people couldn't help but show envy in their eyes.

You have to know that they are busy with work and rarely have the opportunity to accompany their wives and children.

It's a rare opportunity to go back, and I have to leave after staying for only a day or two.

Fu Huasheng standing by was also filled with emotion.

But he seemed to have discovered something, and suddenly asked, "Comrade Wang Ya, Consultant Li just said that your teacher is Professor Huang Xinhua Huang?"

"Yeah, what's wrong?" Wang Ya said.

Seeing her nod, Fu Huasheng and the people around him couldn't help but show some surprise.

Fu Huasheng explained:

"Nothing, I just didn't expect you to be a student of our country's famous semiconductor expert."

"I have heard of Professor Huang's name a long time ago."

"His contribution to integrated circuits is truly admirable, and is no less than that of the 'Hetu'!"

After he finished speaking, the people around him nodded one after another, obviously admiring Huang Xinhua very much.

After all, in the eyes of outsiders, several breakthroughs in integrated circuits are almost all due to Huang Xinhua, which naturally leads to misunderstandings.

"Although the teacher is very capable, he is still far behind Hetu. After all, without Hetu, there would be no vigorous development of our country's semiconductor industry." Wang Ya said for Li Mu.

Fu Huasheng smiled and said:
"No, no, no, you are underestimating your teacher."

"Although Hetu established the semiconductor industry and played a very positive role in our development in all aspects, in my opinion, Professor Huang's contribution is greater."

"Without his pioneering work, products like semiconductor televisions and semiconductor radios would not have been possible." He really admires Huang Xinhua.

Not to mention anything else, just the Type 1000 computer that their research institute was about to install, which had a computing speed of 02w times per second, made him admire it wholeheartedly.

In the past, they never had such a good life.

If you want to use high-performance computers to solve computing tasks, you can only go to Kyoto, and the speed is shockingly slow.

"Okay, you're right." Wang Ya nodded helplessly.

I can't say anymore that this is all Li Mu's fault.

What's the difference between that and exposing your identity directly?

Although Li Mu never mentioned who He Tu was, she could still easily guess it.

“But if we talk about achievements, we still have to mention…” Fu Huasheng glanced at Li Mu and prepared to start.

It's just the beginning.

Li Mu quickly said: "I don't think there is any need to distinguish who is better. They are all contributing to the development of our country's semiconductor industry and are all worthy of admiration!"

"That's right." Seeing this, Fu Huasheng stopped talking and nodded in agreement.

There is really no need to distinguish between high and low.

After all, whether it is He Tu, Huang Xinhua, or Li Mu, they are all important scientists in Xia State and are awe-inspiring figures.

……

Afterwards, under Fu Huasheng's arrangement.

Everyone came to the cafeteria and held a simple birthday party for Li Mu.

Taking this opportunity, he also called on old professors such as Xu Shunshou and Wu Daguan, who had been working in the laboratory for years to come down and take a rest.

The kitchen prepared some midnight snacks and cooked a big pot of egg noodles.

As the birthday boy and the one who usually eats the biggest, Li Mu got the biggest bowl.

A group of people were slurping hot noodles in the cafeteria, and everyone came up to congratulate him.

Of course, sending congratulations is one thing, but the main thing is that I want to get to know Wang Ya better.

Li Mu's previous words, "Beauty is only the least noteworthy advantage of my wife," although satisfied their curiosity a little, it aroused their greater interest.

However, asking directly is definitely impossible as it may involve confidential information.

After all, the Semiconductor Research Institute is now in China, and it is synonymous with the most advanced and authoritative semiconductors, and the research done there is also extraordinary.

Xu Shunshou, who was pulled out of the laboratory by Fu Huasheng, looked at Wang Ya who was eating noodles in small bites and said with a smile:
"Comrade Wang Ya, you are Professor Huang Xinhua's student. You should have made great achievements in semiconductors, right? I will definitely ask you for advice if I have the chance."

"You're too kind. I can't say I'm accomplished enough, and I'm even less worthy of your advice. If you're interested, I can introduce my teacher to you," Wang Ya said quickly.

Semiconductors are the technical difficulty of precision electronic components, and breakthroughs in them often improve the performance of existing machines and equipment.

She was not surprised that Xu Shunshou was interested in this.

"Then I would like to thank Comrade Wang Ya first." Xu Shunshou nodded and said, "But you should not be too modest. You must be very capable to receive praise from Consultant Li."

As he said this, he glanced at Li Mu who had already slurped up a bowl of noodles.

Although Li Mu was usually gentle to others and liked to encourage young people, he never praised people without a purpose.

Hearing this, Wang Ya blushed and said, "He just thinks so."

"I'm not talking nonsense, experts and professors. Xiaoya is not only good in semiconductors, but also has very good skills in software engineering and mechanical engineering." Li Mu said.

Fu Huasheng on the side said with a smile: "No wonder they are a couple, they both like cross-disciplinary research!"

Everyone became more curious about Wang Ya.

So, at Li Mu's birthday party, he, as the protagonist, was pushed aside and watched Wang Ya being asked questions over and over again.

……

After half an hour of excitement.

The people who successfully dug out a lot of information from Wang Ya left with satisfaction.

But before leaving, everyone couldn't help but look at Li Mu.

As they asked more questions, they became bolder and changed the topic to Li Mu, and learned about the rumors about his "poor health".

Seeing that Li Mu had been standing by and watching, Wang Ya didn't give him any face at all.

In addition, Guan Jianmin, who often lingers at the forefront of gossip, added fuel to the fire and almost exposed his true colors.

……

Go back to dorms.

After washing up, Li Mu and Wang Ya lay on the bed, ready to rest.

He still cares a little about the things that have been exposed.

Just when he wanted to ask Wang Ya to see if he was "in poor health".

The sound of Wang Ya's even breathing came from beside me.

Hearing the sound, he stopped immediately.

The distance from Kyoto to Fengtian is not far, but not close either.

Wang Ya came here directly after finishing her research, and her body probably hasn’t fully recovered yet.

Thinking of this, he reached out, turned off the bedside lamp, and went to bed with his clothes on.

……

The next day, early.

Li Mu came back from exercising outside and Wang Ya was still sleeping soundly in bed.

He walked carefully into the room and sat down at the desk.

Then, he picked up the manuscript paper and continued to improve the research plan for the 30000-ton die forging hydraulic press.

If we spend some more time today, we will be able to come up with a preliminary plan.

Then you can submit the plan and apply for project research.

Just when he was writing intently, a soft moan suddenly sounded behind him.

"You're awake." Li Mu turned around and looked at Wang Ya who was sitting up from the bed. He smiled gently and said, "You must be hungry. I've prepared breakfast for you in the cafeteria. Eat some first."

As he spoke, he opened the lunch box which was still warm on the table.

Inside was a bowl of white porridge and two meat buns.

"Okay~" Wang Ya nodded, got off the bed and walked to Li Mu.

While picking up her food, she glanced at the manuscript paper on the table.

When Wang Ya saw the title of the "30000-ton die forging hydraulic press", she was a little surprised and asked, "Are you planning to research this too?"

"Also?" Li Mu was stunned.

Wang Ya explained:
"Oh, by the way, you don't know yet. The Mechanical Research Institute in Kyoto received instructions from above."

"We immediately launched a research operation, summoned experts and professors in related fields, and prepared to overcome the research difficulties of the nine major devices."

"After the teacher finished developing the 8-bit processor, he joined the research there. If you were there, you would definitely be invited to participate."

Li Mu was slightly surprised to hear the news.

After all, this is quite different from history.

But after thinking about it, he quickly understood.

The changes I have made since entering this era are bound to produce a butterfly effect.

Although he had not done much in the field of heavy machinery before, we should not forget the great role of computer software engineering in mechanical design.

CAD, CAT and other software, with the support of the second-generation supercomputer with a computing speed of 100 billion times per second, can accomplish things beyond everyone's imagination.

It is conceivable that in the future, Xia State will enter an extremely rapid period of development.

"Maybe... we can avoid that special stage." Li Mu suddenly thought.

Although the probability is very small, it is not impossible.

As long as the development of Xia State remains vigorous and upward, people's lives will become happier and happier.

Then there may be a chance!

"But it's not enough to just improve the material foundation, the spiritual foundation must also be improved." Li Mu thought secretly in his heart.

This gives us one more reason to develop the film industry.

To develop spiritual civilization, starting with the cultural industry is undoubtedly the best choice.

This is also a necessary step to spread Xia culture to the world.

After all, world-class wars will not break out in the next few decades. If we want to increase our influence and adapt to the development of globalization, we can only work hard in these areas.

Just when Li Mu was thinking intently.

Seeing him begin to daydream while talking, Wang Ya smiled, quietly stepped back a few steps, and prepared to go out to wash up.

But before she left the room.

Li Mu came back to his senses and said:
"I'm going to Fengtian Institute of Technology to attend an academic exchange meeting on steel metallurgy in a while."

“There are also many software engineering experts attending the meeting.”

"If you're interested, how about coming with me?"

He is very busy now and cannot accompany Wang Ya.

Instead of letting her stay bored in the Fengtian Aerodynamics Research Institute, it would be better to let her follow me.

"Okay, I'm also afraid of Professor Xu and Professor Wu. If I'm surrounded and questioned again, I'm afraid I'll have to use you as a cover again." Wang Ya said with lingering fear.

If I hadn't brought up Li Mu's matter yesterday, it would have been difficult to get away.

——Everyone is really curious about her.

But this is normal. After all, if she were in his shoes, she would also be curious about what kind of person a great scientist like Li Mu would marry.

Li Mu smiled and said, "It's okay to use me as a cover, but try not to use the word 'poor health' next time."

As for dark history, everyone has some of it, but he doesn't really care about it.

I can barely accept being told that I’m in poor health.

I am afraid that in the future, the story will be passed down from being in poor health to being unable to function, which would be very distressing.

Unofficial history is sometimes really outrageous, for example, it is said that the founding emperor of the Sun and Moon Era sold hooks...

"No, no, this stereotype must be reversed!" Li Mu shook the image out of his mind.

Without any evidence, they dared to spread the rumor of selling hooks.

Since there is supporting evidence for his story, we don't know how it will be spread.

……

Around 9am.

After Li Mu finished writing the plan, he first found Fu Huasheng and asked the latter to submit it on his behalf.

Then he took Wang Ya and Guan Jianmin to Fengtian Institute of Technology.

The academic exchange meeting has been going on for almost a week and is basically coming to an end.

However, the experts and professors attending the meeting still maintained high enthusiasm.
