The Red Era, the Opening University Speech

Chapter 413 Ultra-high Pressure Prestressed Working Cylinder

As soon as Li Mu and his two companions entered the school, they could hear the sound of them having heated discussions in every corner.

Seeing this scene, Wang Ya was filled with surprise and said, "This academic exchange conference is almost as lively as the one held in Kyoto!"

"The three provinces are heavy industrial bases. Most of the country's steel and metallurgical experts are here. It is very normal to have such a scale." Li Mu explained with a smile.

As they were talking, the two of them got out of the car.

They had only taken a few steps when a professor came up to greet them.

They were naturally curious about Wang Ya who suddenly appeared beside Li Mu, and asked directly.

Li Mu did not hide anything and directly revealed Wang Ya's identity.

As a result, the news that "Li Mu's wife is here" quickly spread throughout the academic exchange meeting.

Soon, a large group of people swarmed over.

Seeing this scene, Wang Ya was dumbfounded and said in disbelief: "Shouldn't the academic exchange meeting be held in a conference room or auditorium?"

It’s not like she hasn’t participated in academic exchange meetings before.

But that kind of scale was no more than one or two hundred people, not as exaggerated as the one in front of us. There must be at least a thousand people here.

"You can see it too. There are too many people, so we can only do it in the playground." Li Mu explained with a smile.

Hearing this, Wang Ya looked at Li Mu with anger in her beautiful eyes.

Li Mu must have known this would happen, yet he still brought her here.

But it's too late to regret now.

A group of curious experts, professors and students have surrounded him.

……

Just when Li Mu was happily introducing Wang Ya to everyone.

Here at Fengtian Institute of Computing Technology.

Gao Lan also came to the gate with great confidence.

Unlike other students, she got the opportunity to go directly to Yang Tianxing for testing.

But just when he was about to go in.

Suddenly, a voice came from behind, saying: "Gao Lan, wait for us!"

Hearing the voice, Gao Lan turned around.

The visitors were friends Gao Lan met at this academic exchange meeting, one was called Zhong Jue and the other was called Li Yiyi.

However, when Gao Lan saw them at this time, she was not happy at all. Instead, she quickened her pace and prepared to walk into the gate of the research institute.

But she obviously underestimated the speed of Zhong Jue and Li Yiyi. Before she even reached the gate, they stopped her and said:
"You really don't want to think about it anymore?"

"Yes, you have great talent in mechanical engineering. It would be a shame if you switched to studying software engineering."

"Even if you want to do research in both fields, you don't have to join the Institute of Computing Technology..."

……

The two of them were talking back and forth, and their words both seemed to indicate that they wanted Gao Lan to give up.

There was no need for them to meddle in such matters.

But Gao Lan was indeed very talented in mechanical engineering and had studied it for a long time, so it was time for her to study software engineering.

Not only will what you have learned previously be wasted, but it may also bury your own talents.

"I understand what you said. I have no intention of giving up my mechanical engineering research. I just want to use this opportunity to improve myself. You also know the importance of software engineering to the development of heavy industry." Gao Lan explained helplessly.

These two friends are good in every way, except that they are a little too enthusiastic.

She explained it several times, even hid behind the scenes, but she still couldn't avoid it.

"You can't doubt Consultant Li's judgment, right?" Gao Lan continued.

After hearing these words, Zhong Jue and Li Yi looked at each other, neither of them having any way to refute.

In the field of scientific research, what Li Mu says now is well-deserved authority.

Seeing that the two were silent, Gao Lan continued:
"Don't worry, I just want to follow along and learn. I'm not planning on changing my major."

"If we learn more now, we will be able to contribute better to the country in the future."

"If one of you were in Xingcheng and the other in Benxi, I would have called you to come with me."

After she finished speaking.

Zhong Jue and Li Yiyi sighed and said, "Since you have thought it through so clearly, we will not persuade you."

They were just worried that Gao Lan would get carried away and switch to studying software engineering.

Such students are not rare at present.

Indeed, as an emerging discipline in Xiaguo's scientific research field, software engineering is a blue ocean that has not been explored by many people.

But this road is not as easy as imagined.

The two finally said: "Then I wish you a successful start and pass the test smoothly!"

"Thank you. I'll go in then." Gao Lan was still a little bit in disbelief when she saw this. After she finished speaking, she was worried that they would go back on their word, so she turned around and left quickly.

Looking at her receding back, Zhong Jue and Li Yiyi couldn't help but laugh.

They just wanted to persuade him, they couldn't steal him.

And snatch the person from Li Mu?

The two shook their heads to get rid of this ridiculous idea.

To be honest, if they were in their shoes and had this opportunity, they would probably be excited.

After all, many people may not have the opportunity to study with a great scientist like Li Mu once in their lifetime.

……

Sunset, the setting sun.

The playground of Fengtian Institute of Technology is still bustling with activity.

But it wasn’t because of Wang Ya.

No matter how curious people are, it is impossible for them to keep asking questions all day long.

After the initial acquaintance, the topic naturally turned to academics.

Of course, Wang Ya still couldn't escape.

After all, in Li Mu's introduction, she is an "expert" in software engineering.

And in terms of level, she is indeed superior to those real expert professors present.

The latter and others all started studying later in life, but she graduated from a semiconductor research institute, and even though she later switched to researching 8-bit processors, her level did not drop at all.

……

Li Mu looked at Wang Ya, who was chatting with a group of old experts and professors, with a smile in his eyes.

But he was not idle either.

While everyone was talking to Wang Ya, he looked through the design materials for personal computers using 8-bit processors and prepared to start developing them when he returned.

As for products such as game consoles that can also use 8-bit processors, he plans to let the semiconductor group develop them.

After cultivating it for so long, there have been some results, and it's time to put it to use.

The speed will definitely not be too fast, but there is no rush for this matter.

After all, the sales of game consoles and game cartridges abroad are still very good.

Although some similar products have appeared, they cannot compare with Xiaguo in terms of price or quality.

Especially the most critical core - games.

In terms of research and development in this field, all the countries in the world combined cannot beat Xia.

Not even Big Brother.

Although the plot of "War" made by Alexei and others is very good, it also has an epic feel.

But that is only relative to those who are willing to play seriously.

The plot lasts for more than forty hours, and the story is interpreted entirely in black and white pixels, making it difficult for players to truly immerse themselves in it.

In comparison, games with short and concise stories and a certain degree of playability are more likely to capture players' attention.

Just when Li Mu was distracted.

Seeing that it was getting late, the experts and professors here ended their discussion.

Jin Shu was like a regularly refreshed NPC, coming on time to call Li Mu and Wang Ya to go to the cafeteria for dinner.

But today, there is one more person, Lin Zhen, beside him.

……

Knowing that Li Mu had something to discuss, Wang Ya walked aside and did not disturb him.

Seeing this, Lin Zhen hurried forward and said:
"Advisor Li, Leader Wu Xue and I have reviewed the research proposal you asked Director Fu to submit."

"He is now in contact with the higher-ups and has applied to mobilize experts and professors from across the country to come to Fengtian for support."

"According to preliminary estimates, 3 people will arrive within three days!"

He first talked to Li Mu about the situation.

As soon as he got the research plan from Li Mu, he went straight to Wu Xue.

The two of them submitted the plan without even giving it a second thought, and then took immediate action to plan all the preparations needed for the research.

"3 days, so fast, didn't you take the plan for review?" Li Mu asked in surprise.

According to his estimation, this matter would take at least a week.

Lin Zhen waved his hand and said, "No need. We believe in your ability, Consultant Li. There will be absolutely no problem."

With the precedent of the 10,000-ton extruder, people from all three provinces now have a fairly clear understanding of Li Mu's research capabilities.

They were almost certain that Li Mu had no knowledge of this before coming here.

However, in just less than half a month, he found a research idea and came up with a plan.

Under this premise, wouldn’t it be easy to come up with a research plan for a 30000-ton die forging hydraulic press?
"Leader, your trust in me is one thing, but we cannot change this rule. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, it will not only affect the research but also cause significant losses to the country." Li Mu said with a smile.

It is impossible to say that I am not happy about the trust of the people.

But this is a bit too trusting.

He gave the plan and the superiors nodded and executed it immediately.

It's fine if there is no problem, but once there is a problem, it is a big problem.

Of course, he knew nothing serious would go wrong.

However, this kind of thing can easily breed unnecessary blind worship and will also set a bad example for the future scientific research system. Therefore, it is necessary to nip it in the bud.

After Lin Zhen pondered for a moment, he said:

"You have a point, but it's a bit late to discuss it now."

"How about we wait until all the experts and professors come over?"

"We are going to build a 30000-ton hydraulic forging press anyway, so it doesn't matter where we build it."

Since Li Mu asked, he certainly wouldn't object.

Discussion can indeed reduce the possibility of failure.

"Okay, that's settled then." Li Mu nodded and said.

...Immediately, after the two of them finished talking about what happened, they prepared to go to the cafeteria to eat together.

Seeing Wang Ya, Lin Zhen couldn't help but be surprised again.

Although he heard from Fu Huasheng during the day that Li Mu's wife had come, he was busy with the 30000-ton die-forging hydraulic press at that time and did not pay attention to her.

Li Mu also introduced Wang Ya again.

After he finished speaking, Jin Shu added:
"Leader, you don't know that Consultant Li's wife, Comrade Wang Ya, is also a great scientist."

"Many professors who attended the academic exchange meeting today praised her knowledge and vision."

"Especially in software engineering, I think many experts and professors are not as good as her."

His words made Lin Zhen's heart move slightly.

Software engineering, isn’t that what Fengtian is short of talents in?

And if Wang Ya could be kept, then keeping Li Mu would be a piece of cake.

However, although he thought about it, he was not in a hurry to express this thought.

After all, Li Mu also said that Wang Ya only came to visit him during the holiday and his birthday.

Thinking of this, Lin Zhen immediately followed suit and praised: "Comrade Wang Ya is really as capable as any man. I think she is not much inferior to Consultant Li!"

"Leader, you are too kind. I am still far from it." Wang Ya glanced at Li Mu and said.

Looking around the world, perhaps only scientists like Einstein and Newton can be compared with Li Mu.

And it's only now.

Li Mu is only 24 years old this year, and there is still a long, long time in the future for him to create more things that can change the world.

Lin Zhen also felt that he was being too complimenting, so he changed his tone and said:

"Comrade Wang Ya, since you are here, are you interested in staying for a few more days to help us with some difficult research tasks at the Fengtian Institute of Computing Technology?"

"You have no idea how scarce software engineering talent is in our three provinces."

"If it weren't for Consultant Li's help, even if the Software Engineering Research Center was built, it would probably be empty with few people in sight."

At the end of his speech, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh, his eyes full of sadness.

Seeing this, Wang Ya showed a hesitant look on her face.

Li Mu didn't interrupt either.

He will not interfere in this matter.

No matter what choice Wang Ya makes, he will support her.

"Leader, how about you give me some time to think about it?" Wang Ya said finally.

Hearing this, Lin Zhen was not disappointed and said, "Okay, then I'll wait for your news."

Then he skipped this topic and started talking about Li Mu's interesting stories.

……

After going to the canteen and eating.

Li Mu asked Guan Jianmin to drive Wang Ya back to the Fengtian Aerodynamics Research Institute first.

He stayed and continued to discuss the research of the 30000-ton die forging hydraulic press with Lin Su'an and others in the conference room of the school's administrative building.

When he learned that the decision had been made to launch the research and that a large number of experts and professors would be rushing to Fengtian soon.

Everyone couldn't help but shudder and opened their mouths in surprise.

Lin Suan asked: "It's so fast, why haven't we received any news?"

This question also expressed the thoughts of everyone in the conference room.

As experts and professors in heavy machinery research in the three provinces, it is no exaggeration to say that they are among the top group of people.

Such important research as 30000-ton die forging hydraulic press.

There's no reason not to ask them to review it.

"It was approved directly without any review. I have already reported this matter and will add the review process later." Li Mu explained helplessly.

Hearing this, everyone suddenly understood.

Although it is a bit against the rules, if you think about it carefully, it doesn't seem unacceptable.

After all, this is the research plan given by Li Mu, how could there be any problem?

Lin Suan even said:

"I don't think it's necessary, Advisor Li. We all trust your judgment."

"You are ahead of all of us in the research of 30000-ton die forging hydraulic press."

"If there are problems with your plan, then there is no way we can solve it."

He just finished speaking.

The experts and professors present all nodded and expressed their agreement.

According to common sense, there must be something wrong with these words.

But it is common sense for Li Mu to sit here.

"Just because I haven't made any mistakes now doesn't mean I won't make any mistakes in the future. I still have to be cautious. Professor Lin will be in charge of the review when the time comes." Li Mu shook his head and said.

It seems that he has to find a way to make some small mistakes in the plan.

If this continues, research will really become his one-man show.

In the short term, this seems to be a good thing. After all, he only needs to come up with a plan and then let everyone implement it.

But from a long-term perspective, it will make people lose their research autonomy and initiative.

Take Lin Su'an for example. Even without Li Mu, he would have spent five or six years to build a 30000-ton die-forging hydraulic press.

And more will be invented later.

However, if we allow him to conduct research without thinking in order to save a little time, it is still unknown whether he can continue to invent and create as he did in history.

"Okay, then I'll follow your arrangements. It won't take too much time anyway. How about we start now?" Lin Su'an looked at Li Mu's sincere eyes, thought about it, and did not refuse.

He didn't know what Li Mu was thinking.

I just think that if you are worried, it doesn't hurt to spend a little more time on research and development.

Li Mu had no objection to Lin Su'an's proposal.

Whether this review meeting is held or not is secondary. The main thing is that he does not want people to trust him too much and lose their own thinking and judgment.

Then he showed the research plan to everyone for them to read.

After everyone has seen it, let Lin Suan preside over the meeting.

As for himself, he just listened and did not participate in the discussion.

After all, if he joined, the discussion would be meaningless.

……

Then, everyone began to discuss the feasibility of the plan.

At the beginning, after saying a few words, Lin Suan couldn't help but look back at Li Mu.

I would also like to ask for his opinion from time to time.

However, Li Mu never spoke and remained as a bystander.

Seeing this, Lin Su'an had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​asking questions, and instead concentrated his attention and began to seriously discuss with the experts and professors.

Starting from the load transfer and deformation control of the 30000-ton die forging hydraulic press, to the design of the hydraulic system and control system, as well as issues such as materials...

Everyone discussed and studied the various ideas on the research plan repeatedly.

The final result was not surprising - no problems were found.

When he came to this conclusion, Lin Su'an couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, then he looked at Li Mu and said with a smile: "Advisor Li, you see, I told you there wouldn't be any problems."

"It's just temporary. It only shows that my current direction is correct, but it doesn't mean I will always be right in the future." Li Mu stood up and said.

He just finished speaking.

Applause broke out in the conference room.

Everyone looked at Li Mu with more respect.

To be able to have so many achievements while still maintaining such a humble attitude is really admirable.

After the applause stopped, Li Mu continued:
"Next, let me talk about my recent thoughts on ultra-high pressure prestressed working cylinders."

“As the most critical part of a hydraulic press, the dimensional accuracy and surface roughness of the inner hole of the working cylinder directly affect the service life and performance of the final product.”

"my country's current internal hole precision machining and hydraulic processing technology is still at a relatively backward stage. If we want to overcome this difficulty, we need..."

As Li Mu's voice rang out, everyone in the conference room who were originally talking in a low voice heard the words "ultra-high pressure prestressed working cylinder".

They all picked up paper and pen and wrote down every word he said.

As for the research on ultra-high pressure prestressed working cylinders, few people in China have produced decent results.

They were still thinking about how to overcome this technical difficulty in the future, but they didn't expect that Li Mu had already thought ahead of them and found a solution.

……

After half an hour.

In the conference room, apart from Li Mu's voice, the only sound that could be heard was the "swish swish" of people writing.

No one looked up until he finished explaining the content and was ready to start the discussion.

Everyone, including Lin Su'an, was staring at the notebooks in their hands with their brows tightly furrowed, as if they had encountered some difficulties.

Seeing this scene, Li Mu asked in confusion: "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with what you said?"

"There's nothing wrong." Lin Su'an raised his head, looked at the experts and professors around him, and then said embarrassedly: "It's just that we can't fully understand some of them."

They thought they had some competence in the field of heavy machinery, but the feeling just now was just like when they first entered university, and they couldn't get a word in the whole process.

Seeing this, Li Mu smiled and said, "I see. Then let's stop here today. Everyone go back and think about it. We will continue the discussion tomorrow."

Actually, there are some problems with what I just said.

He originally thought that Lin Su'an and others had discovered it, but now it seems that his expectations were a bit too high.

But it's not their fault. After all, the research on a 30000-ton die-forging hydraulic press is extremely difficult, and there is no information to refer to, so it's normal that they can't figure it out for the time being.

……

Just when Li Mu, Lin Su'an and others finished their discussion and were about to leave.

Three young girls also came outside the meeting room.

However, they did not directly disturb the people who were meeting inside, but just waited outside the door.

So General Zhao, who was standing at the door, did not say anything to drive them away at first.

But they stayed for too long and kept looking over here, which made him suspicious. He came over and asked, "Are you students? What are you doing here?"

"I'm Gao Lan, a student at Fengtian Institute of Technology. I had the honor of meeting Consultant Li before and received his help. This time I came here specially to thank him." A slightly taller girl spoke.

The other two also hurriedly said:

"I'm Zhong Jue, a lecturer at Zhongnan University of Mining and Metallurgy."

"I'm Li Yiyi, a technician at Benxi Steel Plant."

After hearing Gao Lan's explanation and the other two's self-introductions, Army Officer Zhao's expression eased a little, and then he said:

"You should go back. Consultant Li is very busy and may not have time to see you."
