The Red Era, the Opening University Speech

Chapter 415 If others can’t do it, then I’ll do it!
"Very good, progress is very fast." The secretary replied subconsciously, and then said carefully: "Since the news of the successful test flight last time, the establishment of the production line has begun."

"According to the expert group there, the production line will be able to produce the first Xuanniao-1 helicopter by the end of this month at the latest."

After hearing his words.

The leader's frown relaxed a lot, he pondered for a moment, and then said: "Send a message to them, ask them to produce as many Xuanniao-1 helicopters as possible. If Ah San continues to provoke..."

He didn't finish his words, but the meaning was self-evident.

If you keep giving in, the Indians will only continue to get more aggressive.

The Xia Kingdom must prepare for war to deal with this powerful opponent.

"Yes, I'll do it right away!" The secretary's eyes suddenly lit up, and then he strode away.

It’s just a war. The Xia people have never been afraid.

If you dare to invade their territory, you must be prepared to pay the price in blood.

The superior who made this decision was not so optimistic. He walked to the map in the room and stared at the southwest border for a long time, his eyes full of deep worry.

Even if we have made preparations for both scenarios, once a war breaks out, it is very likely that more than just the Indians will be affected.

After falling out with Big Brother, the enemy's army is now eyeing us covetously in the north.

Facing two such powerful opponents at the same time is not just a matter of difficulty. If we are not careful, Xia Kingdom may be dragged into an abyss of deep depression again.

……

Two days later, Fengtian Institute of Technology.

Amidst grand applause, the first three-province steel metallurgy academic exchange meeting came to a close.

However, Li Mu did not have time to lament its end, because he had to rush to the Fengtian Aircraft Manufacturing Factory to participate in the production of the Xuanniao-1 helicopter.

There is no need to be so anxious.

But at noon the next day after his last visit, they received instructions from Kyoto, asking them to "produce the Xuanniao-1 helicopter as soon as possible."

Just from the wording, one can feel a sense of urgency.

Li Mu was a little confused at first, but after seeing the time, he suddenly remembered.

Ah San, it’s time to take action.

……

Inside the factory.

Li Mu was discussing with a group of experts and professors how to increase the production speed as quickly as possible.

Because we must do our best to complete the above instructions.

So they now have to change their original plan, temporarily shelve the development of CNC machining centers, and instead study how to improve the level of automation and mechanization.

Wang Shicun said:

"Currently, our main mechanized equipment is the 3+2 CNC milling machine. I think there is no room for improvement for the time being. What do you think?"

After he finished speaking, other experts and professors nodded.

The 3+2-axis CNC milling machine produced by Tiangong is not an exaggeration to call it a groundbreaking product. It is at least ten years ahead of the world level and 20 years ahead of Xiaguo's research level.

In this case, it is basically impossible to continue upgrading.

Anyway, they don't think they have this ability.

If anyone could possibly accomplish this, it would only be...

Thinking of this, everyone's eyes couldn't help but look at Li Mu.

Seeing this, Li Mu said:

"3+2 axis CNC milling machines are the limit of what our industry can currently achieve. We can think of ways to improve welding and heat treatment equipment."

“Although the CNC machining center cannot produce it immediately.”

"But we can still upgrade the design of existing lathes, milling machines and other processing equipment."

Welding and heat treatment equipment is used to connect parts and components, ensure the strengthening and reinforcement of parts after welding, and is mainly used to ensure the safety and reliability of helicopters.

Although it cannot significantly improve production efficiency, it is simple and can be completed quickly.

"But Consultant Li, the instructions from above are more important now. If we upgrade the design of the processing equipment, it will probably take a lot of time." A professor couldn't help but say.

Not only him, but other professors also had doubts in their eyes.

The existing processing equipment was obtained from Big Brother and has been used for quite some time.

There have been several upgrades and optimizations during this period, but the effect cannot be said to be zero, it can only be said to be very average.

Even if they are able to achieve optimization and upgrade, it will take a very long time, which goes against the above instructions.

Although they did not know why the higher-ups suddenly issued instructions to produce more Xuanniao-1 helicopters as quickly as possible, it did not stop them from carrying out the instructions resolutely.

Li Mu explained:
"I know everyone is confused, but I have found a way to solve the problem of upgrading the design."

"According to my estimate, this plan can at least double our production speed."

"Of course, there are problems. The cost of investment will increase a lot. And after the CNC machining center comes out, it will be quickly eliminated."

As he spoke, he took out a thick stack of manuscript paper from his briefcase.

After he learned the content of Kyoto's instructions.

During these two days, I found a reason to keep Ask and then wrote this plan with reference to the equipment data of previous production lines at the Chengdu Aircraft Design Institute.

"Has it really been solved?" Wang Shicun and other experts and professors exclaimed in disbelief.

You know, countless experts and professors have tried to make breakthroughs in this area before.

But without exception, almost all of them failed.

Occasionally, some things might work out, but the improvement on the overall production line efficiency and quality is very limited, and it is far from being a success.

Seeing that everyone was shocked, Li Mu did not explain much, pushed the plan forward, and said: "Everyone will know after taking a look."

Upon hearing this, Wang Shicun immediately reached out to take the plan.

However, the experts and professors next to him were faster. They snatched it away before he could touch it.

——It’s okay to be polite at other times, but now is not the time to be polite.

Seeing this, Wang Shicun was not angry. He turned around and started watching with the other experts, heads crowded together.

On the manuscript paper, straight and powerful lines form an extremely precise mechanical structure. The ingenuity contained in it is like the crystallization of the wisdom and sweat of countless people.

Breathtaking!

This was the only thought left in everyone's mind.

If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, no one would have believed that the design drawings in their hands were all made by the same person.

Even the time it took was less than two days.

This talent is so amazing that it is not enough to describe it. It would be more appropriate to say that it is terrifying.

Wang Shicun asked in a slightly dry voice: "Li, Consultant Li, did you draw all these these days?"

The moment he opened his mouth, everyone else's eyes turned to Li Mu, full of curiosity.

"Of course not. It was a research plan I abandoned before the CNC machining center. I just took some time to draw it." Li Mu explained with a smile.

He also knew that this matter was a bit exaggerated, so he found a reason in advance.

After hearing this explanation, no matter whether everyone believed it or not, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Mu continued: "Okay, we still have to hurry up and start researching. Having the blueprint does not mean there are no problems. There are still many difficulties waiting for us."

After saying that, he walked towards the workshop first.

To turn drawings into equipment, one needs to constantly race against time and work against the clock.

Others don't know, but he knows.

Why did the higher-ups suddenly issue this kind of instruction? It's probably because India did something extremely excessive.

At this point in time, the conflict may have already begun and the war is about to break out. They must build a sufficient number of Xuanniao-1 helicopters as soon as possible.

Only by letting the world see the tremendous improvement in Xia’s military strength can they be wary and no longer dare to threaten and intimidate easily.

Seeing this, Wang Shicun and others hurriedly followed Li Mu's pace.

However, they only agreed with the first half of what Li Mu had just said, and were not so sure about the second half.

"Having the blueprints doesn't mean there won't be any problems, but with Consultant Li, there really is no problem that can stump us!" everyone couldn't help but think.

……

the following few days.

Li Mu first stayed at the Fengtian Aircraft Manufacturing Plant for a while, working overtime to complete the optimization and upgrading of the traditional production line.

Then he began to run back and forth between the Fengtian Institute of Computing Technology and the Fengtian Heavy Machinery Factory.

There are no major problems in the research of steel metallurgy database.

After going through many software engineering research projects, Yang Tianxing is now fully capable of working on his own, coupled with the research plan he was given.

It's not foolproof, but at least there won't be any major problems.

As for the 30000-ton extrusion press and the -ton die forging hydraulic press, it is similar.

With two big bosses, Wang Zhengan and Lin Suan, around, as long as he provides the information quickly enough, he can just leave it alone and basically doesn't have to worry about anything.

Therefore, despite his busy schedule, Li Mu can still spare some time to continue to improve the research plan of the CNC machining center.

Originally, he planned to continue his research after completing the optimization and upgrade of the production line.

However, just when the research in the three directions entered a stable state, news came from Kyoto asking when he could return to Beijing.

……

On the special train bound for Kyoto.

Li Mu sat by the window, holding the newspaper he had just received from the train platform, and read it with a smile on his face.

Seeing this, Wang Ya at the side couldn't help but ask, "What good news did you see that makes you so happy?"

"The long-acting ammonium bicarbonate and cypermethrin have been successfully developed. Our country's pesticide and fertilizer fields have taken a big step forward!" Li Mu said happily as he handed the newspaper to Wang Ya.

He thought it would take some time.

You may even encounter difficult problems that you need to solve when you return.

I didn't expect that Mi Shenghua was so helpful. During the time he was away, they developed both things.

Wang Ya took the newspaper and read out the contents word by word:

"Recently, with the efforts of many experts and professors in the field of pesticides and fertilizers, and based on the research plan provided by our famous scientist consultant Li Mu, we have successfully developed long-acting ammonium bicarbonate and cyfluthrin..."

"It is reported that with the help of new pesticides and fertilizers, my country's grain output will increase again, and the increase is expected to be at least half a percent..."

……

Finish reading the newspaper.

Wang Ya's eyes showed surprise. Zhao Canjun and Guan Jianmin, who heard her reading the newspaper, were also shocked.

A half-finished output may not sound like much, but even if it is half-finished, the improvement is very precious.

This means that next year Xiaguo's grain output will increase by several million tons, allowing more people to have enough food.

"Unfortunately, using pesticides and fertilizers can only achieve this much." Li Mu was not too happy, but instead sighed.

You know, at the beginning it was able to support an increase of 3%, and increase production by tens of millions of tons.

The current semi-success is the result of the development of long-acting ammonium bicarbonate and cypermethrin that are far ahead of their time.

Moreover, even if more powerful fertilizers and pesticides are used in the future, it will be impossible to achieve the current production increase effect.

Guan Jianmin couldn't help but say:
"You are too modest. This step is already very difficult."

"There are countless experts and professors in our country who have tried to increase food production."

"Not to mention the 3% from before, even the current half can make them ecstatic. If they heard you say this, I'm afraid you will be beaten."

His words made General Zhao and Wang Ya laugh.

This sounds really lame.

"In any case, it's a good thing to increase production. Even if it's a small increase, it's a real improvement that can feed more people!" said Wang Ya.

Li Mu nodded, but he was thinking about the pearl dwarf rice at Southwest Agricultural College.

"I don't know when I can get it out!" Li Mu couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Compared with pesticides and chemical fertilizers, pearl dwarf rice has a greater impact on increasing grain production.

According to his estimation, there will be at least a 3% to 5% improvement.

This is an improvement on the already used fertilizers and pesticides.

If the former is successfully brought out, not only can it ensure that every Xia citizen has enough food, but at least they will no longer have to go hungry all day long.

……

Just when Li Mu was distracted.

Suddenly, a "ding~" message alert sound rang in my mind.

However, he did not rush to check the message. Instead, he said hello to Wang Ya and others and found an excuse to go back to his room to rest.

Then open the chat page.

Ask:
"Li, I'm in Kyoto!"

"Picture jpg."

“Tianmen is so beautiful!”

Looking at the message sent by Ask, Li Mu smiled and replied: "Have fun, follow the strategy I gave you, you will definitely not go wrong."

"I've eaten it. Picture JPG." Ask replied with a message with a picture in seconds.

The picture shows a table with two bowls of soy milk on it, still steaming.

Not long after, Ask replied with another message: "It tastes terrible, Li, is this really a traditional delicacy in Kyoto?"

"I really didn't lie to you about this, but I also told you that not everyone can accept its taste." Li Mu said with a smile.

Thinking back to when he first arrived in Kyoto to study at university, he took a sip out of disbelief and almost spit it out.

He still remembers the intoxicating smell clearly.

Ask said: "Well, it seems that I should listen to your advice..."

……

inside the room.

After chatting with Ask for a while.

Li Mu couldn't wait to open the WIFI list and check the research institutions in Kyoto in the future.

As the capital of the country, Kyoto is home to many of the country's top research institutes.

If you can get the information there, it will definitely be beneficial and not harmful.

Of course, he would not force Ask to stay.

After all, they had used excuses to keep Ask in Chengdu for two days. If they used the same trick again, even the most slow-witted Ask would notice something was wrong.

Even if the truth may not be discovered, as long as the seeds of doubt are planted, problems will arise one day.

You know, he himself can't stand the scrutiny.

"Let's look for military information first." Li Mu looked at the various WIFI lists and determined a direction.

Now the development of Xia State has entered a relatively fast track.

With the semiconductor industry as its driving force, the domestic economy continues to grow, which in turn indirectly promotes the prosperity of all walks of life and advances social progress.

Under such circumstances, continuing to work hard on the economy will produce some results, but not as great as those on the military.

Moreover, without strong military support, the faster Xia State develops, the more likely it is to become a fat sheep in the eyes of Emperor M and Big Brother.

"Xia Country Weapons Research Institute?" Li Mu's eyes quickly locked on a WIFI name.

He had some impression of the name.

It seems that its original name was the Xiaguo Armored Forces Science and Technology Research Institute, which was established in 59. It is the only research institute in the country that focuses on the overall technology of tanks and armored vehicles.

Thinking of this, he immediately clicked to connect to WIFI.

After entering the database.

Technical data of various special vehicles and components jumped into Li Mu's eyes.

The newest ones are the VT7 main battle tank and the SH20 vehicle-mounted howitzer.

However, these two things are products of extremely high industrial and technological levels. With Xia Country's current foundation, it would be quite difficult to make a part, let alone manufacture them.

As for the manufacturing of the core parts, I am afraid that even Emperor M and Big Brother cannot produce it.

"Speaking of which, Xia Country's current main tank model seems to be the Type 59 medium tank!" Li Mu suddenly thought.

In terms of tank manufacturing, Xiaguo imitated its big brother's T-50A medium tank in the 54s.

This tank has a crew of 4 people, a combat weight of 36000 kg, a maximum road speed of 50 km/h, and a maximum range of 420~440 km.

Its main weapon is a 100mm rifled cannon, and it is equipped with 7.62mm and 12.7mm machine guns.

Just looking at the performance and configuration, you can see its backwardness.

But this type of tank is now the most advanced heavy equipment in the army.

"We're lagging behind a bit." Li Mu couldn't help but frowned slightly.

At the same time, Emperor M and Big Brother had already developed heavy tanks, such as the M103 heavy tank and the T-10M heavy tank.

The Type 59 is only a medium-sized one.

Although there is only one word difference, heavy tanks have great advantages over medium tanks in terms of firepower, armor, etc.

Of course, it cannot be said that the latter is completely inferior to the former.

Fighting in a variety of terrains and environments, medium tanks are better able to perform a variety of tactical tasks and achieve rapid mobile operations and conventional offensives.

"But the problem is not which one is better, but that we have no choice at all!" Li Mu couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Could it be that Xiaguo thinks that having the Type 59 medium tank is enough?
Definitely not. I don’t know how many experts and professors dream of developing a heavy tank.

But the reality is very cruel, Xia State cannot produce it at present.

Even the current industrial level has been greatly improved.

However, it is also difficult to make up for the technological gap and build heavy tanks in a short period of time.

Thinking of this, Li Mu immediately made up his mind: "If others can't do it, then I will do it!"

With so much information available, is it really possible to build a heavy tank?

The only thing you need to consider is to hurry up and memorize all the information before Ask leaves.

"WZ-11 heavy tank?" Li Mu quickly browsed the contents of the information and soon found the first heavy tank independently developed by Xia Country.

It’s just that the time of its invention is too close to now, as it was released in 65.

But this problem is actually not that bad.

The key problem is that the WZ-111 heavy tank has many shortcomings.

Although it is a heavy tank built with reference to its big brothers IS-3 and T-10.

However, due to the weak industrial foundation, the prototype car that was finally produced had problems with maneuverability, body strength and engine power system.

Ultimately, it disappeared after only the first test and the research plan was cancelled.

Even the turret had not been built yet, and it was walked directly into the museum with the counterweight used for testing on top.

“We can’t just think about getting it done as quickly as possible.” Li Mu rubbed his brows and felt a headache just looking at the information.

WZ-111, it seems like a desperate attempt to find a cure, and it has basically no reference value.

Keep looking back.

This time, he went straight for Xia Guo’s Type 99 main battle heavy tank.

As a third-generation tank, it has great advantages over the world's current mainstream second-generation tanks in terms of fire control systems, sensors and automation, informationization and digitization.

"More importantly, I have laid a good foundation for Xia Kingdom in these aspects!" Li Mu couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.

He was really out of his mind just now, and actually went to see the WZ-65 made in 111.

Isn’t the Type 99 main battle heavy tank good?

Simply delicious!

The combat weight is over 50 tons, the maximum road speed reaches 70 kilometers per hour, it is equipped with a 125mm smoothbore gun, and the front of the turret adopts a wedge-shaped design and is equipped with reactive armor, which provides extremely high protection.

Not to mention the fire control system, which is extremely excellent among the current second-generation tanks.

"It would be amazing if this could be built!" Li Mu looked at the picture of the Type 99 main battle tank in the data and wished he could pull the tank out directly from it.

……

A day later, in the early morning hours.

Kyoto Railway Station was brightly lit, but there were few people in sight.

However, it was not long before military trucks arrived at the station, and large groups of guards jumped off the trucks and took over the place as quickly as possible.

All places were quickly checked several times to ensure that there were no safety hazards.

After finishing all this, some time passed.

Several cars with exclusive numbered plates also arrived at the railway station entrance.

Qin Feng walked down first, followed by Guo Mo and a large group of old men in military uniforms, each with a frighteningly high rank.
