The Red Era, the Opening University Speech

Chapter 434 We will definitely get the naming rights back for you!

Dzhugashvili dared not speak.

But in his heart he still felt that the other party was making a big deal out of nothing. It was just that they were slightly behind Xia Country.

After a long while, he spoke carefully:

"General, don't worry. The current situation is only temporary. With our industrial technology and scientific accumulation, we will soon be able to catch up with and surpass Xia Country!"

He had intended to comfort the general.

Unexpectedly, Ilyaslav's expression darkened after hearing this, and he said:
"Still caught up? Do you know what Xiaguo brought out on the battlefield in Asan this time?"

"It is estimated that the maximum speed is close to 300 kilometers per hour, the ceiling is 5000 meters, and the range is nearly 600 kilometers for a general-purpose helicopter!"

"Let me ask you, can we build it now, and how long will it take to complete it?"

After he finished speaking, he looked at Dzhugashvili with a piercing gaze.

The latter's mouth twitched and he was speechless for a moment.

Their most powerful Mi-8 helicopter can only reach a speed of 250 kilometers per hour.

In terms of ceiling and range, one lags behind by 500 meters and the other 100 kilometers.

Judging from the data performance alone, we are definitely at a disadvantage.

"General, this is impossible. With Xia's industrial level, it is absolutely impossible to build such a powerful general-purpose helicopter!" Zhugashvili said firmly.

His judgment is not without basis.

After all, it is well known that Xia Kingdom’s previous military industry was able to develop entirely with their assistance.

It is somewhat believable to say that Xia Guo will catch up with him.

But it's totally unrealistic to get ahead of them all at once.

Ilyaslav said:
"Impossible? That was in the past!"

"Before you saw a computer that could run 100 million times per second, didn't you think it was impossible?"

"Times have changed. Xia Country is no longer the same as it used to be. We have no way of predicting how many more shocking things they will come up with."

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

Although he was angry, he knew very well that there was no way to change the situation.

Are their scientists not working hard enough?
No, it's not, Ilyaslav went to the laboratory to have a look.

Since the order to conduct the research was issued, the lights there have been on continuously, and countless scientists have been working hard on the research.

In terms of efficiency, it is definitely more than 1 times faster than before.

But even if it was 10 or 20 times faster, he felt that it would be difficult to catch up with Xia Guo.

"General, I don't think we should be too self-deprecating. Although the performance of Xia's helicopter is slightly better than ours, it does not mean that our helicopters are no good." Zhugashvili comforted.

But this consolation made Ilyaslav feel even more uncomfortable.

He said with a gloomy face:
"Then you probably don't know how our helicopters that aided Ah San performed against Xia Guo's helicopters."

“Although the official figure is 1:3 casualties.

"But I can tell you that, in fact, we didn't shoot down any of them, not even one!"

……

The other side of the ocean.

The news of India's defeat was soon known to the top leaders of the M Empire.

But even though they were angry, they didn't really care too much.

After all, compared with the resolution of the Guba D bomb crisis, the fact that Ah San was beaten up by Xia Guo was nothing.

If there is anything really worth paying attention to, it is the time spent by Xia Guo.

But when I think about the fighting power of the Indians, this seems understandable.

——This situation continued until India sent back photos of the wreckage of the Bell-47G3 light helicopter donated by the U.S. Empire.

At the same time, news came that Xia State used new helicopters in this self-defense counterattack.

After seeing the photos, Emperor M's military immediately held a military meeting.

The president of the M Empire's National Academy of Sciences was also invited to attend and was responsible for analyzing the authenticity of the news.

Faced with everyone's questions, he couldn't help but sweat profusely.

Fortunately, the Bell-47G3 was invented relatively early, and the fact that India's combat effectiveness is very weak can be explained.

"It's not that the enemy is too strong, but that Asan is too stupid!" He added at the end of his analysis.

However, the military commanders present did not relax their expressions. Instead, someone took out a document and said:
"This is information collected by the intelligence department."

"It is said that the Red Alliance's Mi-4 helicopters were powerless against Xia Country's helicopters."

"It didn't even cause any casualties to the Xia country helicopter. Do you know what this means?"

After he finished speaking.

The president of the M Empire National Academy of Sciences was stunned and quickly took the document to continue checking it.

But no matter how he looked at it, the text didn't change at all.

The Xia Kingdom really had a powerful helicopter, and used it to sweep across the entire Indian battlefield.

"My dear leaders, I think we don't need to worry too much." The dean spoke slowly, and his words attracted the attention of everyone involved in the meeting.

He continued:

"Although the Xia country's helicopters are powerful, the opponents are, after all, helicopters that we and the Red Alliance have eliminated. The battle damage ratio does not mean anything."

"And the development of such a helicopter must have taken all the strength of the Xia country."

"Think about it, if Xiaguo really has this scientific research capability, why can't it come up with a powerful fighter jet? Wouldn't that be more useful than a helicopter? Wouldn't it have more combat effectiveness?"

Listen to the explanation of the president of our own national academy of sciences.

The expressions of the military commanders at the meeting gradually relaxed.

This does make sense.

Think about it carefully, if Xia Guo really has this ability, why doesn't it just come up with a fighter jet.

In that case, it would probably take less than 15 days to defeat India in a week.

……

The next day, morning.

It's a sunny and windy day, another beautiful day.

Li Mu finished washing up and exercising.

After reading a book in the study for a while, he prepared to go to the Automotive Research Institute to continue his work.

As I was walking down the stairs, I suddenly saw a man chatting with the security guard in the distance.

The figure looks somewhat familiar.

I just can't remember who it is at the moment.

Just when he was confused, the man turned his head and called out his name: "Advisor Li!"

See the face.

Li Mu recognized the other party, walked forward with a smile and said:
"Professor Yu, long time no see."

"Are you here to see the teacher? Then you may be disappointed."

"Teacher has only come back once recently, and then he went back to Jiuquan. I'm afraid he won't come back in the short term."

After he finished speaking, he couldn't help but sigh.

To be honest, if there was help from the Fifth Division, the development progress of both the J-10 and Type 99 could be accelerated a lot.

Of course he also knew that this was unrealistic.

After all, with Master Qian Wu's ability, it would be a waste to focus his energy on a single research project.

"No, no, Consultant Li, I'm here to see you." Yu Hongru said with a smile.

Hearing this, Li Mu was stunned for a moment and asked curiously, "What do you want me to do?"

"Please come with me first." Yu Hongru opened his mouth but did not speak in a hurry. Instead, he pulled Li Mu into the special building first.

After the two got in the car.

He first looked at Guan Jianmin and General Zhao.

Seeing this, Li Mu knew that he must have something important to say, so he asked Guan Jianmin and the other man to get off the car and stay for a while.

When only he and Yu Hongru were left in the car.

The latter then said: "Advisor Li, we have come up with the design of the JF-8 shock wave wind tunnel!"

"Is it really made?" Li Mu was surprised and happy.

This news really caught him off guard.

You should know that the JF-8 shock wave wind tunnel was not built until 69 in history.

It is only the end of 62, which is 7 years ahead of schedule!
Yu Hongru was stunned for a moment, then quickly explained:

“No, it’s not made, it’s designed.”

"Under the leadership of Professor Guo Huai, our shock tube research group at the Institute of Mechanics conducted three months of theoretical research and practical verification."

"Finally, a complete JF-8 design was produced, and it was unanimously approved by the expert professor group and confirmed that it can be built."

The construction of a shock wave wind tunnel is not a small project.

Even if we have the design drawings, it would take at least a year to make it by working overtime. It is definitely impossible to produce it in less than half a year.

"That's also worth being happy about. Congratulations to you, Professor Yu. Please also convey my congratulations to Professor Guo Huai." Li Mu said with a smile.

This is only reasonable.

If it really took such a short time to build the JF-8 shock wave tunnel, it would be too outrageous.

Yu Hongru said:

"Advisor Li, this is also your contribution."

"Without the inspiration from you, we would not have been able to design the JF-8 shock wave wind tunnel so quickly."

"So I came here this time for another purpose, which is to invite you to take a look at our design plan."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Li Mu with anticipation.

Although the design drawings have been approved by quite a number of experts and professors.

But even though Guo Huai, Qian Wushi, Qian Shanqiang and other leading figures in the academic world thought that there was no problem, he still believed that Li Mu's nod would be more reassuring.

"It's no problem for you to help, but I'm afraid you'll have to wait for a while. I have some research to do right now." Li Mu thought about it and didn't refuse.

be honest.

It was completed 7 years in advance, so even if it was just a design drawing, he still felt a little uneasy.

The butterfly effect you bring about is not necessarily all good things; there is also the possibility that bad things will happen.

The completion of the JF-8 shock wave wind tunnel is a sign of whether Xiaguo can become a world-class country in aerodynamic research. It is also related to the development of Xiaguo's key signal aircraft such as missiles, rockets, and artificial satellites.

When Yu Hongru saw Li Mu agreed, a look of joy appeared on his face.

Since he had to wait a while, he didn't show any dissatisfaction at all.

But he couldn't help but feel a little curious, and asked, "Advisor Li, can I ask what your research is about?"

"You've heard about the recent war we fought with India. I think our country's military weapons are not strong enough, so I want to upgrade them." Li Mu said.

He didn't make it very clear.

After all, the confidentiality regulations are there and everyone must abide by them.

Yu Hongru nodded slightly and said:
"But wasn't Ah San beaten badly by our soldiers?"

"I heard that it only took us 15 days to capture their capital."

"This is even after receiving equipment assistance from Emperor M and Big Brother. It seems that our army is still strong enough to compete with Emperor M and Big Brother."

He didn't say it too absolutely.

The army of Xia country is indeed powerful, and it can be said to be the strongest on the surface of the earth. Even the multinational coalition led by the M emperor in the northern battlefield has never been defeated. But all of this has a premise-not using big mushrooms.

At the cost of two cities, Xiao Ri showed the world the unparalleled power of the big mushroom.

In the face of such weapons, humans are too small to have the slightest ability to resist.

Thinking of this, Yu Hongru suddenly realized: "Could it be that you, you are going to study..."

He didn't say the last three words.

Even though there were only Guan Jianmin and Zhao Canjun around the car, he did not dare to take the slightest risk.

"What are you thinking about? If I were to study that, would I still be in Kyoto now?" Li Mu said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

The big mushroom is indeed important, but only relatively speaking.

The purpose of its existence is to bring Emperor M and Big Brother to the negotiating table.

No party will easily press that button unless facing the crisis of national extinction.

Yu Hongru knew that he had spoken out of turn, and said quickly:

"Advisor Li, let's stop here. I won't ask any more questions."

"I just hope that when you succeed one day, you can tell me and make me happy."

"Our country is still not strong enough, so that a mere Indian dares to provoke us without reason. If we have powerful weapons, we will definitely be able to severely deter these villains!"

After he finished speaking, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

A weak country and humiliated people.

If they had a big mushroom, Ah San probably wouldn't dare to jump so happily.

"You don't have to wait until the day I succeed. You should work harder and try to build the JF-8 wind tunnel as soon as possible. Maybe it can help me a lot." Li Mu said with a smile.

As the J-10 is developed further, it will definitely require a wind tunnel.

Although he had detailed research guidance, this step was unavoidable.

After blowing on it, he felt relieved, and the people above him also felt relieved.

When Yu Hongru heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, he looked at Li Mu in disbelief, and his lips moved.

But he didn't ask the question in the end.

He just said, "Don't worry, Consultant Li, we will build the wind tunnel as soon as possible!"

……

Li Mu and Yu Hongru chatted in the car for about 10 minutes.

The latter got out of the car.

He watched the car leave, his face flushed, and he couldn't suppress the excitement in his expression.

It was clear from Li Mu's words that he was planning to develop a fighter jet.

And he believes that if successful, it will definitely give a huge shock to countries around the world.

"I used to want to catch up with Consultant Li, but now it seems impossible!" Yu Hongru looked away after watching the car disappear at the end of the road.

But there was no trace of frustration in his eyes.

Only by seeing the gap can you catch up.

But the gap between him and Li Mu had long been like an unfathomable chasm that could not be crossed.

……

Vehicle Research Institute.

In the conference room of the experimental building, Yang Ying was leading the development team of the new tank... no, now it should be called the Xuanwu-1 main battle heavy tank.

When receiving the name.

In fact, they were all a little confused, and even a little unconvinced.

It has always been called a new tank, not because they were too lazy to give it a name, but because they left the naming right to Li Mu.

Except for Li Mu, everyone thought that no one was more qualified to name the new tank.

Soon someone went to ask the director Ma Zhihao who had snatched the naming rights of this name.

But the latter was also confused.

It only stated that the new tank would be named Xuanwu 1, but he had no idea who named it.

I could only calm everyone down first and then make a phone call to find out.

When Li Mu came over, he ran into Ma Zhihao who had just returned from a phone call.

Seeing him, Ma Zhihao said quickly:

"Advisor Li, you're back!"

"I'm going to tell you something, but don't be in a hurry to listen to it."

"It's like this. I received a call from above early this morning..."

He first explained the whole story, and then told what he had heard from Guo Mo: "Just let Li Mu explain."

"Director Ma, don't worry. It's not a big deal, and I don't take it seriously." Li Mu smiled and waved his hand.

It's just a name, nothing important.

Take the J-10 as an example. Whether it is called Weilong-1 or Shenlong-1, as long as it can ride on the heads of the M Emperor and Big Brother and "shit", it's fine.

Ma Zhihao felt relieved and continued:
"That's good. Let's go over and talk to everyone about this matter so as not to affect everyone's work status."

"I don't think so." Li Mu shook his head.

Compared with research, such a small matter, everyone must have their own judgment on which is more important.

Ma Zhihao looked at Li Mu, sighed helplessly, and thought to himself: "It's hard to say."

If they encountered the same thing themselves, they might not care about it like Li Mu.

But when Li Mu encountered it, it was different.

Many people will undoubtedly feel unfair that a scientist who has made so many contributions to the country was named without even asking any questions.

After the two of them finished talking, they set off for the meeting room.

……

Although Yang Ying was somewhat unhappy about the sudden naming, he did not let it affect his research.

After asking a few people to report to Ma Zhihao.

He continued to lead his research team and started research according to the research plan given by Li Mu.

As the chief designer of the WZ-111 main battle heavy tank, not to mention his research ability, at least his management ability is impeccable and he arranges things in an orderly manner.

When Li Mu and Ma Zhihao walked to the door, they could still hear whispered discussions coming from inside.

Seeing this, he waved his hand and signaled to listen at the door for a while.

I only heard the voice inside:
"At present, there are two main types of thermal jackets for tanks: thermal insulation and uniform heat type. Western countries use thermal insulation jackets made of thermal insulation materials and Jinshu composite materials, and we can continue to follow suit."

"I agree with this idea. At present, the thermal jacket on our Type 59 tank is just an exhaust device. It is not a bad idea to learn from the thermal insulation type."

"I heard that the Materials Research Institute has made breakthroughs in many materials in the past year, which will be beneficial to our research on thermal insulation thermal sheaths..."

Everyone spoke very seriously.

Some people think that the heat-insulating heat jacket is better, while others think that the heat-dissipating heat jacket is better.

The former can effectively isolate external heat and protect the internal equipment of the tank from being affected by external temperature, and performs very well in extreme environments.

The latter focuses on even distribution of heat, ensuring that all parts of the tank are properly heated, which can improve the overall efficiency and performance of the tank.

However, both have their own disadvantages. The insulating heat jacket may cause local overheating or insufficient cooling, while the uniform heat jacket is not stable enough in extreme environments.

Of course, some people have proposed to study both together, which has been agreed by many experts and professors.

……

About 15 minutes passed.

Li Mu heard that the discussion inside was almost over, so he slowly walked to the door.

He just showed up.

Wang Zerong and Zhang Kemao, who were sitting by the door, noticed it immediately, stood up happily and said, "Advisor Li!"

Hear these three words.

The conference room fell silent instantly.

Everyone's eyes turned to Li Mu at the same time. They showed a hint of excitement at first, but then quickly turned into a hint of sadness.

"Advisor Li, you, you are here." Yang Ying hurriedly went up to him and said.

He wanted to tell what happened, but found it difficult to speak.

Anyone who encounters this kind of thing would probably get angry.

The only solution now is to keep the matter secret, wait for them to resolve the issue, get the naming rights back from above, and then just pretend that nothing had happened.

Seeing that everyone looked so heavy, Li Mu smiled and said:
"Why do you all look unhappy?"

"Then I will tell you something happy to make you happy."

"Our new tank has a name. It's called Xuanwu-1..."

He hasn't finished speaking yet.

Yang Ying said:

"Advisor Li, you, you already knew it!"

"Don't worry, we will definitely get the naming rights back for you!"

"What Xuanwu-1? It sounds so..."

When he opened his mouth, the experts and professors below stood up involuntarily and decided to report the matter to the higher authorities together.

This is not a question of naming rights.

——But whether the higher-ups respect a scientist who has made great contributions to the country.

"Stop, stop." Li Mu immediately made a stop gesture, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"Please listen to me first. This name was chosen by our superiors yesterday."

Yang Ying swallowed back all the words that he had prepared, and even wanted to slap himself in the face.

He said blankly: "They are all... quite domineering..."

No, who understands!

I almost scolded my superior!

The experts and professors below were also a little dumbfounded.

Who named it?

Superiors?

That's okay, sit down first.

Everyone's mood was like riding a roller coaster, changing from resentment to surprise in an instant.

After Yang Ying realized what was happening, he quickly asked:

"Advisor Li, did I hear you correctly? You said that this Xuanwu-1 was named by the superiors?"

Li Mu nodded and said:

"Yes, just yesterday, I was received by my superiors, and I mentioned this matter, and I took it away at the same time."

He didn't say he was going to attend the celebration party.

After all, the fact that the superior leader met with him privately was shocking enough.

If we tell them that Qin Feng and other founding heroes were also present, it would not only be too exaggerated, but it would also easily reveal some information.

After all, we just finished fighting with India.

The performance of the Xuanniao-1 general-purpose helicopter and the high-horsepower diesel engine military truck on the battlefield will definitely attract the attention of Emperor M and Big Brother.
