The Red Era, the Opening University Speech

Chapter 414: Provocation from the Southwest

"If everyone were like you, coming to see him for the smallest of things."

"Then he may not even have time for research in the future."

As Li Mu's guard, he is responsible for security and needs to avoid the occurrence of potential safety hazards.

Although Emperor M and Big Brother have now shifted their attention away.

But who can guarantee that they won't suddenly go crazy and decide to take action again?

It is better to avoid sudden meetings like this that pose safety risks.

"We are just talking for a few words, isn't that possible?" Gao Lan hesitated.

After she finished speaking, she looked helplessly at her two friends beside her.

In fact, she had not planned to come.

After all, it was their first meeting, which was already very troublesome for Li Mu.

In her plan, she had originally intended to express her gratitude to Li Mu after making achievements in the iron and steel metallurgical database research team.

But she didn't expect that Zhong Jue and Li Yi were waiting at the door of Fengtian Institute of Computing Technology. After she came out, they pestered her to come over now.

In response to Gao Lan's request, General Zhao did not say anything, but his meaning was self-evident.

Seeing this, the three of them had no choice but to turn around and leave in disappointment.

As they walked, Zhong Jue, who was wearing a white shirt, sighed and said, "I said it wasn't that easy to meet him. He's Advisor Li, a great scientist in our country."

"Then what did you propose at that time? Didn't you just want to meet Consultant Li?" Li Yiyi rolled her eyes at her and said.

Gao Lan looked at her two friends speechlessly. She had originally thought that they simply cared about her, but she had never expected that they had such an intention.

But it's not that she can't understand.

After all, if it were me, I probably wouldn't miss such an opportunity.

Just as the three of them walked out of the administrative building disappointedly.

Suddenly, there was the sound of dense footsteps behind me.

Hearing the sound, they couldn't help but turn around.

I saw a group of people walking out of the lobby.

The one in the front was Li Mu.

Although the discussion was over, it did not affect everyone's continued communication with Li Mu.

After all, this year's Iron and Steel Metallurgy Academic Exchange Conference is about to come to an end, and it will be rare to have such an opportunity to find Li Mu at any time.

Seeing the crowd approaching, Gao Lan and the other two quickly stepped aside to avoid them.

Zhong Jue and Li Yiyi did not rush forward to stop him. They were already quite satisfied to be able to see Li Mu at this distance.

When they attended academic exchanges, they were lucky enough to see Li Mu from afar.

But just as they watched Li Mu walk over.

The crowd suddenly stopped and then quickly dispersed to the side.

The three were wondering when they saw Li Mu and General Zhao walking towards them.

Li Mu looked at Gao Lan, then smiled and said, "Did you pass the test?"

"Yes, yes, I went there today and met Team Leader Yang Tianxing. He arranged for me to take the test." Gao Lan answered hesitantly.

Hearing this, Li Mu smiled and said:

"Yes, it seems I was right about him."

"But don't think that everything will be fine once you get in."

"Joining the research is just the beginning. There will be many more difficulties waiting for you in the future."

Hear his words.

Gao Lan was not afraid at all and said firmly:
"Don't worry, I won't be afraid of any difficulties. I believe that as long as I work hard, I can solve them all!"

After saying that, she clenched her fists hard, her eyes full of fighting spirit.

Looking at Gao Lan who was full of energy, Li Mu couldn't help but smile.

Sure enough, no matter when, he would be infected by the unique spirit of the people of this era.

After encouraging Gao Lan.

He then turned his gaze towards Zhong Jue and Li Yiyi beside him and asked with a smile, "By the way, I haven't asked these two comrades yet who they are..."

Hearing his question, Zhong Jue and Li Yiyi, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately introduced themselves:
"Hello, Consultant Li, I'm Zhong Jue from Zhongnan University of Mining and Metallurgy!"

"My name is Li Yiyi, a technician at Benxi Steel Plant, Consultant Li, it's an honor to meet you!"

The two men's tone was full of respect.

Respect is like what Gao Lan once heard: "Is what Consultant Li said necessarily right?" "Science does not believe in authority, it only believes in truth." These words were all her illusions.

"Hello, I'm honored to meet you too." Li Mu stretched out his hand, shook hands with the two of them, and smiled gently.

He had some impression of the two of them.

Zhong Jue, a future academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, has long been engaged in teaching and scientific research in the fields of mechanical engineering and material preparation. His research interests include large-scale material manufacturing equipment, complex electromechanical system design and technology integration, and microelectronics.

Li Yiyi, a future academician of the Academy of Sciences, a metallurgical and metal materials scientist, and the main academic leader in the field of low temperature and atomic structure materials in Xiaguo.

Both of them later became big names in the machinery and steel fields with remarkable achievements. I didn’t expect to meet them by chance here.

Thinking of this, Li Mu suddenly asked, "You guys are here, do you also want to participate in the software engineering research mission?"

"No, no, we followed Gao Lan here just to see you." Zhong Jue and Li Yi said hurriedly.

Hearing this, Li Mu felt relieved a little.

It would be a pity if the two future academicians were led astray.

After all, according to their original life trajectories, it was only a matter of time before they achieved success.

He smiled and said:
"So that's the case, then I'm relieved."

"You are different from Gao Lan. She is still a student, very malleable, and has time to change."

"But even so, I still told her that I don't recommend her to study software engineering. As a system subject, she needs to work more than ten times harder than the average person to make up for the gap."

Fengtian Institute of Technology does not have a software engineering major. It does exist that there are professors who study software engineering, but their level is just so-so.

Although Gao Lan is talented, no matter how strong the talent is, it still takes time to learn.

The first batch of students in the software engineering education pilot program received at least one academic year of systematic training, but she probably didn't even have half that time.

"We actually tried to persuade her, but she refused to give up." Zhong Jue and Li Yi looked at Gao Lan and said.

Li Mu said:
"It's not that you can't learn it, it's just that the process will be difficult."

"Since she is already prepared, you don't have to worry too much."

"By the way, are you interested in coming here to participate in a research project on heavy machinery?"

After he finished speaking, he looked at the two of them expectantly.

Two future big bosses are now in front of me, so of course I can’t let them go.

"Me, us?" Zhong Jue and Li Yi Yi were stunned when they heard that.

Although they believed they had some abilities, they had never thought that they would be invited by a great scientist like Li Mu.

Li Mu smiled and said:

"Yes, I'm planning on doing two heavy machinery projects here, and I'm a little short of manpower right now. If you guys come over, it will be of great help."

"But this matter is still entirely up to you. If you don't want to, it's okay."

"You don't have to answer me in a hurry. Go back and think about it slowly, then come back to me... or you can go directly to Dean Jin."

He originally wanted to come to me directly.

But then he thought that once the academic exchange meeting was over, the two might not be able to find him, so he asked him to go find Jin Shu.

"Okay, okay, we will think about it carefully." Zhong Jue and Li Yiyi looked at each other and said dryly.

Seeing this, Li Mu didn't say anything more. After saying hello, he turned around and left quickly.

……

Outside the administration building.

Looking at Li Mu's receding back, Gao Lan, Zhong Jue and Li Yiyi were stunned for a long time.

After a long while, Zhong Jue suddenly let out a suppressed scream and said, "Advisor Li, did Advisor Li just invite us?"

This thing is really too dreamy.

She couldn't think of it no matter how hard she tried. She just took the opportunity of Gao Lan expressing her gratitude to come and see Li Mu, and she didn't expect to get such a rare opportunity.

"But, but why did Consultant Li invite us?" Li Yiyi said somewhat unconfidently.

Compared to Zhong Jue's identity as a university teacher, she is just an ordinary technician in a steel plant.

Hearing this, Zhong Jue said:

"Don't think too much. Since Consultant Li invited me, he must have a reason for it."

"You should know how difficult this opportunity is."

"If you miss it, you may never get it again."

Her tone was full of seriousness.

Although we don’t know what the specifics of the research project on heavy machinery are, it is undoubtedly a national-level scientific research task.

They may never have the opportunity to participate in this kind of research again in their lifetime.

Now it is in front of the two of them, even if they are unsure, they must step forward and grab it.

"Zhong Jue is right. Yi Yi, you don't have to worry so much. The worst that can happen is failure and you can just go back to work in the steel plant." Gao Lan also spoke up.

Hearing this, Li Yiyi became more determined and said, "No, no matter how hard I try, I have to persevere and not let Consultant Li down."

If she were asked to switch to study software engineering, she would probably still hesitate.

You can get involved in research on heavy machinery, so there's no reason not to give it a try.

……

Here, Li Mu returned to the dormitory of Fengtian Research Institute.

Sitting at his desk, he continued to perfect the research plan for the 30000-ton die forging hydraulic press.

Once this second version of the plan is completed, there won’t be too many problems with the preliminary research.

Of course, if Lin Su'an and others conduct research completely according to the plan he gave, they will definitely encounter some minor problems.

Although it will not lead to bad consequences, it will definitely affect the research progress.

Then he will be able to stand up and criticize them harshly, so that they can all learn a lesson.

"Why does it feel a bit like a sting operation?" Li Mu suddenly shook his head and laughed.

……

It took me about half an hour to write.

Li Mu stretched and was about to get up and rest.

Suddenly, a message alert sound rang in my mind.

Open the chat page. Ask:
"Li, I'm ready to leave Xia Country."

"But before I leave, I want to go to Kyoto to have some fun."

"You've been in Kyoto for so many years, you must know a lot of delicious and fun things. Can you recommend some to me?"

Li Mu was slightly stunned after seeing the message, and then replied: "Going to Kyoto? Aren't you busy communicating with people?"

He still remembered what Ask had said before, that he was invited by many people to communicate.

In order to keep it in Chengdu, he also expressed strong support.

"We have been communicating for several days and have gained a lot. Now we need to conduct experiments to verify the results. There is not much point in communicating further," explained Ask.

Li Mu nodded slightly and said:

"That's true. Let me recommend you some fun places. When you go to Kyoto, you must visit the Forbidden City."

"There are also famous attractions such as Tianmen Square, Badaling Great Wall and Summer Palace, which are also worth seeing."

"If you want to eat delicious food, you can go to Wangfujing or Sanlitun..."

He introduced all the places he knew, and chatted with Ask for a few more words before ending the conversation.

……

The next day, early.

Just finished washing up and exercising.

Guan Jianmin brought news from the Fengtian Aircraft Manufacturing Plant.

The production line for the Xuanniao-1 helicopter was already being set up, and he was specially invited to participate in the design.

He definitely can't ignore this matter.

According to his estimate, if there are no major problems, at least 10 aircraft can be produced.

According to the minimum standard of two aircraft per formation, 10 combat formations can be formed.

Although it is quite difficult to cover the entire Indian battlefield, Xia Kingdom does not only have the Xuanniao-1. Other simpler combat missions can be completed with ordinary helicopters.

So, Li Mu asked Guan Jianmin to say hello to Jin Shu and told him that he would be there this afternoon.

Then we drove directly to the Fengtian Aircraft Manufacturing Plant.

……

After arriving at the place.

Before getting out of the car, Li Mu saw Chen Jiaxun and Wang Shicun who had been waiting at the door for a long time.

He walked up quickly and said, "Director Chen, Professor Wang, why are you waiting here?"

"Professor Wang said that you would come here early in the morning after hearing the news. I thought I could introduce it to you directly as soon as you arrive, which can save a lot of time." Chen Jiaxun said with a smile.

Hearing this, Li Mu couldn't help but smile and said, "It won't take a while. You're too polite."

"Of course I should." Chen Jiaxun smiled and said:
"Let me first tell you about the Xuanniao-1 helicopter production line we have established."

"The entire production line is divided into five parts: the main assembly line, the side line, the front line, the tail line, and the wire production line."

"The most important main assembly line is directly managed by Professor Wang and I. The other parts are also designed and reviewed by specialized personnel..."

He first introduced the production line design of the Xuanniao-1 helicopter.

This is also the more common model of Xiaguo’s current helicopter production line.

After listening, Li Mu hesitated for a moment, then said:
“There aren’t any major problems overall.”

“However, the degree of mechanization and automation in our component assembly and final assembly is relatively low at present.”

“I think our next research direction will focus on this.”

In the 60s and 70s, manual labor accounted for a considerable part of Xiaguo's helicopter manufacturing and even aircraft manufacturing.

It’s not that we don’t want to mechanize it, but the accuracy difference is so great that it can only be compensated by manual labor.

Although it is a bit troublesome, as long as mechanization and automation are completed, the production of Xuanniao-1 helicopter will no longer be a problem.

After finishing speaking, Li Mu asked again: "Director Chen, Professor Wang, what do you think?"

"I'll listen to you." Chen Jiaxun naturally had no objection.

Wang Shicun also said: "No problem, but if we want to achieve mechanization and automation, it will be a big project!"

The country now does have the foundation to upgrade its helicopter production lines.

However, only some people are starting to try it, and no one has produced any decent results yet.

"It doesn't matter. In fact, achieving mechanization and automation is not as difficult as you think." Li Mu smiled, then stopped talking and walked into the factory.

When Wang Shicun and Chen Jiaxun heard this, their eyes lit up and they hurriedly followed.

……

After arriving at the factory.

Li Mu did not speak in a hurry, but first looked at the plan given by the production line design team.

Then I went to the manufacturing plant to observe the original production line.

After doing all this, he finally felt more confident. He turned around and said to Chen Jiaxun and Wang Shicun who had been following him:

"I think we can design a machining center that uses computer programs to integrate traditional lathes, milling machines, drilling machines and other processing equipment to achieve a variety of processing methods."

Wang Shicun, who had been waiting for a long time, was stunned when he heard the answer, and then he said in shock: "Are you talking about the one developed by Emperor M in 58?"

He is not unfamiliar with the name of machining center, also known as CNC machining center.

In 58, Xia Guo learned that the M Empire's Carney Company had developed this equipment, which could realize centralized processing of multiple processes after the workpiece was clamped once.

But even though I know it, I can't study it.

After all, with the industrial strength of Xia Kingdom at that time, it was impossible to produce CNC machining centers, let alone lathes, milling machines and other processing equipment.

"That's right, but in terms of quality, I think my design should be better." Li Mu smiled slightly.

Get his affirmation.

Wang Shicun was so happy that he almost jumped up and said:
"That's great! If we can develop a CNC machining center, not only the Xuanniao-1 helicopter, but all helicopter production lines in the future will benefit from it!"

CNC machining centers can increase helicopter production efficiency by at least 40% and reduce a lot of costs.

If it can be developed, it will definitely be a milestone for Xiaguo's helicopter manufacturing.

Chen Jiaxun, who was standing by, also reacted when he heard this and said immediately, "I'll go and call the experts and professors in the factory to a meeting."

Before he finished speaking, he had already rushed out.

……

It didn't take long.

The experts and professors who were still designing the production line were hurried back by Chen Jiaxun.

As soon as they arrived, they couldn't wait to say:
"Consultant Li, do you really want to design a CNC machining center?"

"If we can come up with this, we can definitely increase the production of Xuanniao-1 by several levels!"

"I think we can definitely figure it out. With Consultant Li here, is there any research that we can't accomplish?"

……

Everyone asked first, and then got Li Mu's confirmation.

I began to imagine the impact that success would have on the entire helicopter manufacturing industry.

As for whether it can be done?

Needless to say, with Consultant Li Mu taking action, it will be an easy task.

Seeing this, Li Mu raised his hand and said, "Everyone, be quiet for a moment. Don't be anxious. Just listen to me first."

As his words fell.

Everyone immediately fell silent and looked at him.

Li Mu continued:
"First of all, I want to emphasize that the development of a CNC machining center is not a small project, and no one can predict how long it will take."

“So we still have to go ahead with the original production line design plan.”

“What our country needs now is availability rather than quantity.”

After he finished speaking, everyone couldn't help but nodded.

They just thought that after having the CNC machining center, the original production line design plan could be completely abandoned, but they ignored this point.

Given Xia Country’s current situation, it is indeed more important to first build a complete production line and produce one Xuanniao-1 helicopter after another.

……

Just when Li Mu started designing the CNC machining center.

The other end.

In a small courtyard somewhere in Kyoto.

The secretary knocked on the door and after receiving a response, he hurried into the office.

The superior who was reviewing the documents saw this, put down his pen and asked, "What happened?"

After hearing his words, the secretary calmed down, took a deep breath and said, "Leader, there's an incident at the southwest border!"

Tell me in detail, what happened?" The superior was stunned for a moment, then stood up and said.

The secretary continued:
"Yesterday morning, the Indians sent more than 30 people to approach our sentry post at the Zerao Bridge, using bayonets, rifles and submachine guns to force the soldiers on duty to retreat. This is a blatant provocation to our country!"

His tone was filled with indignation.

The superior leader did not show any anger, but just frowned tightly and his eyes were full of worry.

This is not the first time that Asan has provoked them.

In 59, the enemy's armed forces launched an attack on their troops stationed in Macedonia, resulting in the "Lang Jiu Incident."

In the following years from 61 to 62, the Indians established 43 invasion bases on their western border and occupied more than 4000 square kilometers of land.

In June this year, they directly crossed the "McMahon Line" and invaded the Xizhang SND area, establishing a stronghold in Chedong in an attempt to change the direction of the "McMahon Line".

But even so, Xia Guo has always maintained a restrained attitude.

After all, the three years of hardship had made the domestic situation extremely bad, and it was difficult to support a major war.

India is not a small country. With the assistance of both Big Brother and the United States, it is very powerful and even claims to be the third largest country in the world.

Faced with such an opponent, even the superiors would inevitably have doubts in their hearts.

——Xia Kingdom is not afraid of war, but it really cannot afford it now.

"Send an order to the border, asking the soldiers to remain restrained and not to take the initiative to provoke disputes." The superior leader thought for a long time before speaking slowly.

It was very difficult for him to make this decision.

But when he thought about the current situation in the country, he had to do it.

The secretary opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.

He can express his opinions, but saying those things will only make his superiors more uncomfortable.

But just as he turned around and was about to go out.

The superior suddenly spoke up again: "By the way, how is the Xuanniao-1 helicopter that Li Mu built in Fengtian going?"
