The Red Era, the Opening University Speech

Chapter 433: Mighty Dragon! Xuanwu!
Although Qin Feng and the others did not see the battlefield directly.

But it can also be reflected in the data.

They killed countless enemies, but suffered less than 200 casualties.

This is an almost unbelievable number for a war between countries.

What's more, defeating India within 15 days broke the record of blitzkrieg, which was enough to shock the world.

The reason why such an astonishing achievement can be achieved is mainly due to the Xuanniao-1 general-purpose helicopter and the high-horsepower diesel engine military truck.

Of course, military mountain bikes and military motorcycles also contributed to this.

It can be said that it is precisely because of so many advanced military products that we have achieved such a stunning victory today.

"You're too kind. Actually, I feel that I haven't done enough. If we had powerful enough military weapons, it would be impossible for the Indians to provoke us." Li Mu said.

On the way here, he also reflected on it.

When he was developing the Xuanniao-1 general-purpose helicopter and the high-horsepower diesel engine, he was thinking about how to win the war beautifully.

But if possible, of course it is best not to fight.

The superior patted Li Mu on the shoulder and said:

"You've done well enough, don't think too much."

"If it weren't for the military weapons you developed, we would have paid a much greater price to defeat the enemy."

"I believe that one day you will be able to create a weapon that will render Emperor M and Big Brother helpless. Besides, aren't you already working on it?"

After he finished speaking.

Except for Qin Feng, Guo Mo and other insiders.

Chen, He and others all looked curious and said:

"Leader, please stop keeping us in suspense and tell us what Consultant Li is researching now?"

"It's so secretive, I think it must be something extraordinary!"

"If we can have a few more advanced military weapons like the Xuanniao-1 general-purpose helicopter, we will have great confidence even if we fight against the M Emperor and Big Brother!"

……

As everyone spoke, they looked at Li Mu.

Seeing this, the superior leader said:

"Alright, alright, why are you in such a hurry? Let's go in first."

"It's not nice to be asking questions at the door."

"Li Mu, and Professor Wang, come on, follow me in."

As he said this, he pulled up Li Mu and Wang Shicun, who had been standing there stupidly for a long time and was too excited to say a word, and turned to walk into the courtyard.

Qin Feng and others hurriedly followed.

……

In the small courtyard, several benches were neatly placed in the center.

There is no distinction between seats.

Everyone found a seat and sat down, then continued to ask about what had just happened.

Li Mu first looked at his superior, and only after getting his approval did he tell him about the new tanks and new fighter jets.

When I heard that if I succeeded, I would be at least 20 years ahead of Emperor M and Big Brother.

Everyone couldn't help but widen their eyes.

20 years!

If it can really be achieved, then why would we be afraid of Emperor M and Big Brother?
As long as others are not afraid of them, they are all good.

General Chen exclaimed:

"A new tank and a new fighter will greatly enhance the strength of our army and air force in the future!"

The other generals nodded in agreement.

If it were anyone else, they might still doubt the exaggeration.

But the person who said this was Li Mu, who made great contributions to the technological development of Xia State, so they had to believe it whether they wanted to or not.

"Advisor Li, you can't be partial. When you have some time, please research some good equipment for our navy." said a naval general on the side.

The army has tanks and the air force has planes.

They didn't get anything, which was really disappointing.

Without waiting for Li Mu to speak, Qin Feng said with a smile:
"We'll talk about the future later. Just finish the research at hand."

"He is now in charge of two major research projects, and both research teams are counting on him to lead them."

"If he overwhelms us, it will be too late for us to regret. Besides, we shouldn't interfere too much in what a scientist wants to study."

Once is already an exception.

If Li Mu were to continue researching military weapons in the future, it would be a waste of his talent.

The superior leader also said:

"You're right. Li Mu's ability is not limited to the development of military weapons."

"What he can bring to our country is an improvement in the overall scientific and technological level."

"We can't restrict his research direction. Military weapons are important, but the development of the country and the happiness of the people are more important!"

His words made the admiral who had just spoken slap his forehead and said quickly: "It was me who said something wrong, Advisor Li, please don't take it as an offense."

"It's okay, leaders. I don't feel that researching military weapons constrains me. On the contrary, I like to research powerful weapons. They are the guarantee of peace in our country." Li Mu said.

If a country wants to develop, a stable international and domestic environment is indispensable.

If the Xia Kingdom wants to maintain stability, it needs powerful military weapons.

Just having big mushrooms is far from enough.

Hearing this, the superior leader smiled and said:
"It's good that you think this way. Under the current international situation, war is not far away from us."

"Both the M Emperor and Big Brother are actively preparing for armaments."

"This time the Guba incident is a good example. By the way, you probably don't know yet, let me tell you about it..."

As he was talking, he remembered that Li Mu probably didn't know what was going on with Gu Ba.

So I briefly talked about the contents of the previous report.

At the end, he couldn't help but sigh and said:
"Unfortunately, our country has not yet achieved the cross-continental strike of D-bombs like the M Emperor and Big Brother."

"If a war really breaks out in the future, we will inevitably be at an absolute disadvantage."

"Future wars will no longer be fought with bayonets, but will be fought with high-tech weapons. I remember you said this, Li Mu."

The current development of Xia State is already quite astonishingly fast.

But it is still unrealistic to catch up with Emperor M and Big Brother.

Taking the range of the simplest D-bullet as an example, Xiaguo’s Dong 1 is only 554 kilometers.

Emperor M and Big Brother have basically exceeded 10000 kilometers.

For example, the U.S. Empire's land-based intercontinental ballistic missile MHGM-25A has a range of 10140 kilometers, and Big Brother's R-36 ballistic missile has a range of 12000 kilometers.

In comparison, Xia State is still too weak at the moment.

"Leader, you don't have to worry too much. The lag is only temporary. And we already have a considerable advantage in the future battlefield." Li Mu thought for a while and said.

Hear what he said.

The superior's eyes lit up. He still remembered the informationized warfare that Li Mu had mentioned before.

Although many of the contents are fanciful, after careful consideration, you can find traces to follow.

Just because Xia State cannot achieve it now doesn’t mean it cannot be achieved in the future.

Thinking of this, he asked curiously:
"Oh, can you tell us what the battlefield of the future will be like?"

Hearing this, Li Mu pondered for a moment.

Just as I was about to speak, I looked up and found that everyone was looking at me expectantly, and I couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.

Who among you is not better at fighting than him? He was really showing off his skills in front of an expert.

But the arrow is on the string and has to be shot at this moment.

He slowly said:

"Dear leaders, I am not an expert when it comes to fighting wars, but I can talk about how we will fight wars in the future and how to win them."

"I have talked about information warfare before, but the idea was not perfect and the content was not specific enough at that time."

"To be more specific, the sea, land, air and space will all be our battlefields in the future. For example, the new fighter jets we are currently developing are compared to the current fighter jets of Emperor M..."

……

Based on Operation Desert Storm, Li Mu conducted a more detailed and in-depth analysis of future wars.

This operation was the code name for the offensive operations of the M Empire and its allies during the Haiwan War.

He had mentioned it once before when talking about information warfare, but the content at that time was completely castles in the air and had no scientific research basis.

But now it is different. The Xuanniao-1 general-purpose helicopter provides a basis for endorsing informationized warfare.

The emergence of new tanks and new fighter jets provided strong support for this.

He finally said:

"The fourth-generation fighter jets, which are the new fighter jets we developed, are equipped with advanced communication systems and navigation equipment, which can obtain battlefield information in real time and cooperate with other combat platforms."

"The electronic warfare system can effectively resist the enemy's electronic attacks and protect its own communications and navigation from being affected. It can even make the enemy's fighter jets 'blind'."

"There is also information sharing capability, which allows real-time information exchange with other combat units during combat to improve overall combat effectiveness."

After listening to Li Mu's story, everyone, including the superiors, couldn't help but fall into long thought.

Each of them had read the internal reference materials on the informationized combat mode, but even if they tried their best, they could not imagine what kind of battlefield it was like.

Li Mu's description showed them this picture.

After a long time, someone slowly asked, "Can this informationized warfare be promoted throughout the army in the future?"

Hear the question.

The superiors and others all looked at Li Mu.

They also want to know whether informationized warfare can be promoted, which will determine whether it is Xia’s secret weapon or a means of conventional warfare.

"Of course you can. Informationized warfare requires the coordination of land, sea, air and space, and it will ultimately be implemented on individual soldiers, such as individual combat systems," said Li Mu.

Hearing this, the superior leader became curious and asked, "What is this individual combat system?"

He discovered that he could always hear some new terms from Li Mu.

"It is to integrate protection, firepower, electronic information and other combat sectors. For example, in terms of protection, there are bulletproof vests, atomic and biological protective clothing, protective gloves..." Li Mu gave a brief introduction.

Individual combat system, including individual protection system, individual weapon system, life support system, communication system, fire control system and individual computer.

It integrates a system of multiple high-tech equipment to enhance the combat effectiveness, mobility and protection capabilities of infantry.

Just as he finished speaking.

Guo Mo suddenly said, "A personal computer? Isn't this a bit exaggerated? Are we going to let soldiers carry computers with them into battle?"

As soon as he opened his mouth, the others, although not in agreement, also had doubts in their eyes.

Li Mu could see that Guo Mo did it on purpose. After all, except for him, no one else present knew much about computers.

He explained:

"It's certainly not possible now, but with the development of technology, future computers may even be the size of a palm."

"Theoretically, the weight of a complete individual combat system should be around 20 kilograms."

"And depending on the mission, it can be carried selectively, which will not cause too much burden to the soldiers."

The example he used here is Xiaguo’s future QTS-11 individual integrated combat system, with a total weight of 18 kilograms.

However, the data does not need to be too accurate.

After all, if we say it is 18 kilograms now, it will also be 18 kilograms when it is produced in the future, which is a bit difficult to explain.

"That's great. It's only a little more than half the weight of the equipment our soldiers usually carry." Zhang Huaguo said happily.

The other generals couldn't help but nod excitedly.

As they come from the military, they are very familiar with the equipment of ordinary soldiers.

Generally speaking, including military uniforms, weapons, combat equipment, etc., the total weight is about 35 kilograms.

The individual combat system that Li Mu mentioned weighs only a little more than half of that, which can be said to be a huge improvement.

But some people have doubts.

General Chen asked, "Advisor Li, from your description, I feel that the protection capability of this individual combat system is not very high."

He just finished speaking.

Other generals refuted and said:

"Old Chen, what are you thinking? How could Consultant Li make such a small mistake?"

"That's right. How can we regress as we develop?"

"Maybe there's some breakthrough in the material that we don't know about."

It was obvious that everyone trusted Li Mu very much and had no doubts.

After all, according to common sense, it seems that there is no reason to go backwards as things develop.

Seeing this, Li Mu quickly explained:

"General Chen is right. Take military helmets as an example. As they become more information-based and electronic, their protective capabilities will indeed be reduced to a certain extent."

“But overall, the protection capability of individual combat systems is definitely on the rise.”

"And this reduction is not impossible to make up for, it just requires more technological breakthroughs to achieve mass production of materials."

The protective capabilities of individual combat systems in later generations will definitely be stronger than those of today.

But it is not absolute to say that it is getting stronger and stronger.

Take tactical helmets as an example. If you want to equip them with a large number of auxiliary combat electronic systems, sacrificing some protection is an inevitable result.

However, it is worth it in exchange for a huge improvement in overall combat capability.

"Advisor Li, how long will it take to develop this individual combat system you mentioned, and how long will it take for it to be mass-produced and equipped to the army?" General Chen rubbed his hands and asked expectantly.

If every soldier in their army could be equipped with a set of individual combat systems now, the improvement in combat capabilities would absolutely be enormous.

Li Mu said regretfully:
"This...I'm afraid it will take at least 10 years to be possible."

"Let's not talk about other things, just take the individual soldier computer as an example, it is not something that can be developed in a short period of time."

"And the individual combat system is not a single thing, it also requires a lot of supporting facilities. For example, communications, networks, satellites, and so on."

In fact, if he works hard and spends five years, he may be able to develop a single-soldier combat system.

But even if such a system is built, it will only be a showpiece that looks good but is not practical.

Without communication infrastructure, without a network with wide enough coverage, and without satellites in the sky, the advantages of this function cannot be fully realized.

"I see. That's it. It's okay. Take your time and finish the current research first!" General Chen suddenly realized and said with a smile.

Although it was a pity, he also knew that it was indeed a fantasy to develop a single-soldier combat system in a short period of time.

And this thing is so powerful.

He also doesn't think new tanks and new fighter jets are amazing.

Those two things are the ones that can truly change Xia State's international status.

Thinking of this, General Chen suddenly had an idea and looked at his superior leader beside him and said:

"By the way, Boss, don't these new tanks and fighter jets have names yet?"

"We keep calling for new tanks and new fighter jets, but that's not a big deal."

"I think it would be better if you came up with a name. What do you think? It would also be a reward for Consultant Li."

After he finished speaking.

The superior smiled and shook his head, saying:

"What kind of reward is this? Besides, it's not my turn to name it. It should be Li Mu who should come up with it. He is the designer."

Hearing this, Li Mu hurriedly said:
"No, no, leader, I think Leader Chen is right."

"I had this plan originally, but I was going to announce it after the research was successful."

"Now that you've mentioned it, why don't you help me pick one? If the research team knows that you came up with the name, they will definitely be more motivated."

The superior looked at Li Mu's sincere eyes, smiled slightly, and said:
"Since you said that, it would be inappropriate for me to refuse."

"But we agreed that I would only help you get 'one', and the rest will be up to you."

"There are two names, and I can't be so shameless as to take both. Let's each take one."

His words made everyone burst into laughter.

But this is indeed a good idea.

"Well, then, I'll take advantage of you, my leader, and take it with you." Li Mu didn't act pretentiously and agreed immediately.

Then, he pondered for a moment and gave the new fighter a name - Weilong-1.

The meaning is very simple: the dragon roars in the sky and shakes the world.

The name was unanimously approved by everyone.

After thinking for a moment, the superior leader also gave the new tank a name: "I will follow your style and call it Xuanwu-1."

……

After picking the name.

Everyone chatted for a while, and the content was naturally still related to the information warfare that Li Mu mentioned.

After all, they originally thought that they had already gained some understanding of information warfare.

However, after talking with Li Mu, I realized that I didn't even understand what they said, let alone get started.

I finally got the chance, and I won't let it go.

So, everyone chatted and drank tea, and before they knew it, it was around 6 o'clock in the afternoon.

The celebration banquet slowly began.

However, knowing Li Mu's habits, in order to prevent him from drinking the wine offered by others out of face, the superior simply did not serve him any wine.

This naturally caused confusion and puzzlement among the generals who came from the military.

But after hearing the reasons.

The slight dissatisfaction in their hearts disappeared in an instant.

Compared to the satisfaction gained from drinking, they still felt that it would be more satisfying to drive Weilong-1 and Xuanwu-1 one day earlier to challenge Emperor M and Big Brother.

……

It was a celebratory banquet that lasted until 9 o'clock in the evening.

When leaving, everyone was reluctant to see him go and invited Li Mu one after another, hoping to chat with him again when they had time.

Of course Li Mu would not refuse and agreed to all of them.

After all, there is basically no harm in making friends with 10 meritorious veteran coaches.

……

Return to the special building.

Li Mu first sat on the sofa and closed his eyes to rest for a while, then he quickly got up and went to the study.

I also started a research project on individual combat systems for myself.

He needs to work harder.

Although the difficulty of developing a single-soldier combat system is not particularly high, the most critical issue is mass production.

No matter how powerful an individual soldier's equipment is, if it cannot be mass-produced, its role will be very limited.

"Bulletproof materials, lightweight alloys, composite materials, special coatings..." Li Mu connected to the Jianqiao Municipal Library's WIFI and searched for device information in it.

Bulletproof materials include Kevlar fiber, ceramics, composite materials, etc.; lightweight alloys are aluminum alloys and titanium alloys with high strength and lightweight properties.

It is not difficult to make a breakthrough with these materials if you put in some effort.

Thinking of this, he immediately connected to the WIFI of the Jianqiao University laboratory archive and started looking for information from it.

Although individual computers cannot be taken out now.

But it is still possible to overcome the problems with these materials first.

After all, only when you have it first can you slowly consider the issue of mass production.

……

Just when Li Mu was busy preparing materials for the individual combat system.

Big Brother.

Ilyaslav hurriedly walked into the gate of the National Academy of Sciences and came to the door of the office of President Djugashvili.

He didn't knock on the door, but kicked it open.

A loud "bang" startled Dzhugashvili, who was enjoying his afternoon tea inside.

He was about to shout, but when he saw that it was the general, his expression softened and he stammered:
"My dear general, what brings you here?"

"I know, you must be talking about the computer."

"Don't worry, give us another month and we will definitely be able to produce a computer that can run 100 million times per second!"

He said so, but he didn't have the slightest confidence.

After all, that's what he said last month.

Hearing this, Ilyaslav's already dark face became even darker, and he said:
"Time and again, it's been so long, and there's still no results."

"If it can't be recreated."

"I think you don't need to work as the dean anymore!"

His tone was so serious that it frightened Zhugashvili, who quickly said, "General, that's not the case. I heard that Emperor M and his people didn't make it either!"

"They are them and we are us. Do they have to build it first and then we follow suit?" Ilyaslav laughed in anger.
