The Red Era, the Opening University Speech

Chapter 439 Beijing Film Studio

Before Li Mu could find Hu Xuhua's information.

Guo Mo took the initiative to say:

"Comrade Hu Xuhua is the deputy chief engineer of the '09' Technology Research Laboratory of the Seventh Academy of National Defense."

"This time, I came here mainly to invite you to take a test."

"I won't go into details about what it is, but it will be very grand. Forget it, let him tell the story himself."

As he said this, he turned his gaze to Hu Xuhua.

The latter thought for a moment and said:

"Advisor Li, you should still remember the propeller you developed. We have redesigned a conventional-powered submarine based on it. It will be launched for testing in five days. We specially invite you to attend."

"I appreciate your kindness, but I'm afraid I can't accept this invitation. I can't leave now." Li Mu shook his head helplessly.

It is indeed very tempting to personally watch the launch of a submarine equipped with a magnetohydrodynamic propulsion system designed by oneself.

But now he is busy with the development of Weilong-1 and Xuanwu-1, so he doesn't have so much time to participate in the testing.

Hu Xuhua said quickly:

"Please reconsider this."

"Everyone wants to meet you very much, and we all have many research questions that we would like to ask you."

"If I can get your help, I believe it will have an immeasurable impact on our country's submarine industry!"

Li Mu said: "Chief Engineer Hu, you are too kind. My research in this area is not that great."

"But you designed..." Hu Xuhua said halfway and swallowed the words back.

The six words "magnetic fluid propulsion" have now reached the top secret confidentiality level, and no one is allowed to disclose it to anyone in any way.

Even though there were only three of them in the office at the moment, they couldn't say it out loud easily.

He then said, "Don't worry, we have considered your time carefully. It will only take two days at most to go there and back."

"Two days, that doesn't seem impossible." Li Mu looked at Guo Mo, and in Hu Xuhua's stunned eyes, he said, "How about taking one of these two days as my day off?"

"Don't even think about it. Can you leave tomorrow?" Guo Mo refused directly.

The issue of Li Mu's vacation was a decision made personally by his superiors, and there was no room for bargaining.

If you want to make changes, you have to be prepared to confront your superiors, but he doesn't want to do that anyway.

"Forget it, let's wait for two days before going." Li Mu sighed helplessly.

It seems that he will never be able to enjoy this "blessing" of 007 in his lifetime.

Hu Xuhua said happily: "So Consultant Li, you agreed?"

"Well, when we get there later, please take good care of me, Chief Engineer Hu." Li Mu nodded and said with a smile.

Hearing this, Hu Xuhua hurriedly said, "No, no, it's you who should take care of me. I have a lot of questions I want to ask you."

In terms of age, he might be much older than Li Mu.

But when it comes to ability, there is a big gap.

Although he is currently serving as deputy chief designer in the '09' technical research laboratory, he has not achieved anything remarkable.

Even after he had painstakingly written the overall design plan for an atomic submarine - "Basic Preliminary Design Plan for Atomic D-Bomb Submarine (Draft)".

Their '09' project was almost cancelled.

Although it was finally retained after several rounds of discussion and research, only a few core personnel were left to continue the research and development work.

"In that case, if you are free, why not come to my house for a simple meal and we can have a brief chat? But I have to tell you in advance, or you might be disappointed." Li Mu said with a smile.

This invitation left Hu Xuhua stunned for a moment.

Li Mu, the core scientist of Xia State, invite him?

But even though he was stunned, he didn't hesitate to say, "I'm free, I'm free!"

……

Afterwards, Li Mu took Hu Xuhua back home by car.

Arrived at the special building.

He took Hu Xuhua to the study and asked him questions about conventional-powered submarines equipped with magnetohydrodynamic propulsion.

Hu Xuhua was a little hesitant at first and didn't say it directly.

It’s not that I’m afraid of leaks, but I’m afraid of being eavesdropped.

Seeing this, Li Mu smiled and said, "Don't worry, I dare not say about other places, but this place should be very safe."

The security force of the special building is already very strong.

His room, because it was often used to store documents, became the focus of attention.

Not to mention being eavesdropped, even a loose screw on the window would be noticed immediately.

"Then I'll tell you." Hu Xuhua felt relieved after hearing that and started talking about the magnetohydrodynamic propellant submarine.

They used the Type 033 submarine as a design blueprint and modified its power part, changing the diesel-electric power to electric power and magnetohydrodynamic power.

The 033 itself is a medium-sized submarine and its weight is not too heavy, so the difficulty of modification is not high.

In terms of effect, the electromagnetic power combination is at least several times stronger than the previous diesel-electric power.

"We call this modified conventional-powered submarine 033A. With it, our country will have some say at sea," Hu Xuhua said finally.

Although it is just a conventional-powered submarine, not atomic-powered.

But the advantages of 033A are still very obvious. Once the magnetohydrodynamics is turned on, the enemy's sonar cannot easily detect their position, and they are definitely good at ambushes and cold shootings.

"Just having the right to speak is not enough. Once the atomic submarines come out, it will be our turn to be the 'overlord'." Li Mu said with a smile.

A magnetohydrodynamic propulsion and atomic-powered submarine would definitely be a terrifying presence at sea.

Hearing this, Hu Xuhua sighed and couldn't help saying, "We don't know when it will be realized. Now even the '09' project is almost cancelled."

"Get off the horse? How is that possible? Why?" Li Mu asked in confusion.

That doesn't make sense. Atomic-powered submarines are such an important thing, there is no way Xia Country would easily abandon it.

"No, no, I didn't get off the horse, I almost did." Hu Xuhua hurriedly explained.

Then he recounted the whole story as he understood it.

But it is different from the information Li Mu found through the chat page.

Historically, the '09' project had to be cancelled due to successive natural disasters, which made the national economy very difficult and the investment in basic construction of the shipbuilding industry was greatly reduced.

But now it is because they have invested in too many things and do not have enough money.

With the national economy booming, the authorities are actually not stingy with various research projects in the field of science and technology, and basic funding can still be guaranteed.

But perhaps because he had been poor for a long time and had suddenly become rich, he spread his business too thinly.

Allocating money, people and equipment almost emptied the little savings that we had saved with great difficulty, so we had to tighten our belts for now.

Of course, there was another reason that Hu Xuhua didn't know - the higher-ups wanted to wait and see whether Li Mu was interested in the research on atomic submarines.

After all, no matter how good other people are at researching atomic submarines, they can only barely catch up with the level of Emperor M and Big Brother.

But what about Li Mu?

Just two words: surpass!
"Don't worry, our country's current economic situation is still good. We should be able to restart the '09' project in three or four months at most." Li Mu comforted.

He was actually a little amused and confused about this result.

But it’s normal to think about it.

There are so many areas that Xiaguo needs to catch up. It is basically impossible to support the development expenditure of the entire country with the economic income of the semiconductor industry alone.

Hu Xuhua was silent for a moment, then sighed:
"I hope so."

“But the project was almost cancelled not only because of this reason.”

"The most important thing is that the development of atomic submarines is progressing too slowly, leaving the higher-ups with no hope."

If the '09' project progresses smoothly, no matter how difficult it is, there is no way the higher-ups will ask them to cut spending.

But they just don't live up to expectations!
"Can I ask what progress you have made so far?" Li Mu pondered for a moment, then said.

He could find some information about atomic submarines in the laboratory at Daying Jianqiao University, which might be helpful.

Hu Xuhua said:

"Of course, no problem. We are currently conducting research on topics such as the drop-shaped line of nuclear submarines and the structural strength of pressure-resistant hulls."

"It's just that we've only heard of this atomic submarine but never seen it, so we can only grope our way forward, which is very difficult."

"Take the teardrop-shaped design of the hull as an example. This design is complex to manufacture, has high curvature requirements, and is prone to lack of space, etc., all of which are problems."

His tone was full of helplessness.

Li Mu could also understand it. After all, Xia Kingdom did not have any information on this subject to refer to.

In history, they even obtained a toy made with an atomic submarine as the center from a toy factory in the M Empire, which confirmed their research direction.

He thought for a while and said:

"I may not be able to help you too much in terms of design, but if everything goes well, maybe I can make a small contribution in terms of material manufacturing and processing accuracy."

It is obviously not possible to directly come up with a design solution based on the water drop line shape.

After all, so many experts and professors in the country have not figured this out yet, and it is a bit unreasonable that he came up with it out of thin air.

"If you can solve these two problems, you will be a great help to us!" said Hu Xuhua.

The teardrop-shaped submarine's exterior design requires that the hull be full of curves, with almost no straight areas.

This results in the workpiece processing accuracy requirements reaching an almost demanding level, and any slight error will affect the submarine's underwater performance and stability.

……

The two chatted until late at night, and Hu Xuhua reluctantly left and rushed back to the unit to report.

After he left.

Li Mu also considered how to help get the atomic submarine out as soon as possible.

"If I want to continue to improve the processing accuracy, I can only continue to upgrade the CNC machine tools." He thought secretly in his heart.

Although 3+2 axis CNC machine tools are very good, the range of workpieces that can be processed is actually quite narrow, and in terms of versatility they are not as powerful as 4-axis ones.

However, even if we take out the 4th axis, it is estimated that it will only be barely enough.

For the processing machine tools of atomic submarines, it is better to have 5-axis linkage.

This machine tool has high-precision and high-hardness processing capabilities, and can produce silent propellers, which are crucial to the stealth and survivability of atomic submarines.

"But under the current conditions, even 4 axes might be a bit difficult." Li Mu shook his head secretly.

It is still too early to think about 5-axis linkage now.

He opened the chat page and started looking for information.

At present, there are five main difficulties in the development of atomic submarines: appearance design, diving depth, noise reduction technology, ultra-large diameter pressure hull manufacturing and material technology.

The appearance design certainly can’t help, so we can only work hard in other aspects.

"The material of this hull coating is quite good. It can help submarines avoid sonar scanning and make up for the overall technical deficiencies to a certain extent." Li Mu looked at a piece of research information with his eyes slightly lit up.

"Active" tiles made of rare earth elements can significantly reduce the noise of submarines and improve their concealment when used in submarine permanent magnet motors.

Combined with the magnetohydrodynamic propulsion system, it will undoubtedly be a great help to Xiaguo's future atomic submarines. ...

The next day, early.

Wash up after exercise.

Li Mu yawned and was about to pack up and go to the Automotive Research Institute when he remembered that he had a day off today.

It would probably be a waste of time if I went there.

He had no choice but to go back into the study and continue organizing the materials that he had not completed last night.

But just sat down.

Then I saw a piece of paper on my desk.

On it was a line of very beautiful handwriting: "No more than an hour, remember to eat well."

It seems that Wang Ya predicted his actions in advance and left a reminder.

Putting the note down with a smile, Li Mu took out paper and pen and started working.

……

Arrived around 9 o'clock.

All the relevant information about atomic submarines was sorted out by Li Mu.

I filled 10 pages of manuscript paper with densely packed text on both sides.

He stood up and stretched.

Look at the time, one hour is just right, neither more nor less.

"But just this information is of limited use. The key is to continue upgrading the industrial mother machine." Li Mu thought secretly.

Whether it is nuclear submarines or semiconductors, if they want to continue to improve, they will involve one issue.

That is the upgrade of industrial mother machines.

"When I go to the Automotive Research Institute tomorrow, I'll stop by the Mechanical Manufacturing Institute to see if I can find someone to establish the project first." Li Muxin thought.

4-axis CNC machine tools are not so easy to study.

The earlier you start, the earlier you can succeed.

While thinking, he went to the living room and called Guo Mo.

Since we have free time anyway, we might as well take this opportunity to visit the Beijing Film Studio and the Science and Technology Film Studio.

Of course, before that, you have to ask both parties whether it is convenient.

But after hearing his words, Guo Mo laughed directly on the phone:
"It's convenient. What's the inconvenience? I sent the message the day you left. They are on high alert every day now, and they are afraid that you won't go."

As a national core scientist, Li Mu's visit is a huge event for any organization.

Although no time has been set, neither party has any complaints.

Instead, I look forward to it every day, fearing that he won't come in the end.

"Okay then. I'll be there right away." Li Mu felt a little embarrassed after hearing this and said immediately.

Then he hung up the phone.

After Guan Jianmin drove over, they set off immediately.

……

Kyoto, Beijing Film Studio.

Tian Fang, the factory director at the time, was discussing work matters with a middle-aged actor.

The actor's name is Liu Shilong, and he is a veteran actor.

She has starred in movies such as "Shajiadian Grain Station", "My Mom Wants Me to Become a Monk" and "Liu Sanjie", and has a fairly good reputation.

He asked the other party to come over just to shoot a new movie.

After hearing the script, the latter was also very interested and expressed his willingness to participate.

Just when they were talking excitedly.

The phone rang at an inopportune time.

Tian Fang frowned, motioned Liu Shilong to wait a moment, and then picked up the phone.

A familiar voice came from the other end of the line: "Hello, Director Tian, ​​I'm Guo Mo from the Chinese Academy of Sciences."

"It's you, President Guo. What's the matter?" Tian Fang's tightly furrowed brows instantly relaxed, revealing a hint of excitement.

This sudden change in expression made Liu Shilong, who was standing by, very curious.

Guo Mo said:
"It's about what we talked about last time. Consultant Li happens to be free today and plans to visit your factory. He has already set off. I want to tell you so that you can be prepared."

"What, they've already set off!" Tian Fang was so shocked that he stood up immediately after hearing that.

It takes only more than half an hour to drive from the Chinese Academy of Sciences to Beijing Film Studio.

Also include the time Guo Mo spent on the phone.

In other words, Li Mu will reach his destination in less than 30 minutes.

Thinking of this, he immediately said: "Don't worry, President Guo, we will definitely entertain you well!"

After saying this, without waiting for Guo Mo to say anything else, he quickly hung up the phone, ran out of the office in a hurry, found Xiao Jiabang, the factory clerk who was working in the main building, and asked him to quickly organize the factory employees and prepare for the welcome ceremony.

All of a sudden, more than a thousand employees of Beijing Film Studio were mobilized.

……

Liu Xian is a student from the Performance Department of Kyoto Film Academy. Today, she came to visit Beijing Film Studio with her classmates.

Unexpectedly, I was halfway through the visit.

Suddenly a man walked in from outside and said a few words to the factory director who was responsible for receiving them.

After hearing this, the latter immediately apologized and said:
"My fellow students, I'm afraid your tour today is coming to an end. There is a very important matter in the factory that I need to take care of."

Hear this.

The students looked at each other, and disappointment was revealed in their eyes.

Liu Xian thought for a moment and said, "Director, how about this? We can go on a tour by ourselves while you do your own things. How about this?"

"No, to tell you the truth, the factory director has issued an order that everyone except the original staff of our factory must leave." The factory director shook his head and said.

When I received a call from Guo Mo.

Tian Fang convened a small meeting with the factory's leadership team and asked them to be fully prepared for the reception.

If any accident happened because of Liu Xian and others, it would undoubtedly be a serious work mistake.

Hearing this, Liu Xian looked at her classmates and said, "Okay, then I hope I can have the opportunity to come and visit again in the future."

"Of course, we welcome you at any time." The factory director nodded quickly, and immediately asked the young man who had just come in to report the news to send the few people away.

I hurried to find Tian Fang to prepare for the work to come.

After he left.

The students did not stay long and followed the young man away.

However, as they walked, they discovered that the Beijing Film Studio was full of people running around, holding small red flags and colorful flags in their hands, decorating the place.

Seeing this, Liu Xian curiously asked the young man who was leading the way, "Comrade, which leader is here to guide the work? Why is there such a big scene?"

"I don't know either, but it is said that he is a very famous scientist." The young man turned around, looked at the beautiful Liu Xian, and smiled.

A female student nearby asked in confusion: "Scientists, what are scientists doing in a film studio?"

Scientists and film studios, it sounds like there is absolutely no connection.

The other students were also very curious and started to speculate.

Seeing that they were walking slower and slower and talking more and more excitedly, the young man hurriedly said:

"My fellow students, you better hurry up. After I see you off, I have to rush to the gate to greet you."

"Our factory leaders have repeatedly stressed that no accidents are allowed."

"If something goes wrong with me, I will be in big trouble and my life will be miserable."

As he spoke, he made a gesture of invitation.

After hearing this, Liu Xian and others wanted to stay and see who this scientist was, but they couldn't find a reason to stay, so they could only leave reluctantly.

But just as they were being sent out through the side door and were about to leave.

Liu Xian suddenly changed her mind and said, "How about we go back and see who the scientist is?"

"That's not good. The factory director just said that the person who came this time is very important. If we go back rashly, what if we run into him?" Someone immediately objected.

Although they were curious, they were not so curious as to secretly go back and take a look.

And now they are in their senior year and will soon face the issue of job placement after graduation.

There are only a few film studios in Kyoto, and the number of vacancies is limited.

If you offend the leader here, you will lose a good opportunity.

Liu Xian thought for a moment and said, "Then let's go to the main gate and take a look from a distance. That way it won't be a big deal, right?"

"Forget it. Maybe we don't even know who it is and won't be able to recognize him even if we see him," someone said.

Hearing this, Liu Xian couldn't help but feel a little discouraged, thinking: "Since no one else is going, I'll go by myself!"

"Well, you guys go ahead. I'll go alone. Who knows, it might be Consultant Li Mu!" She said this and turned away.

The students behind her were stunned for a moment, then quickly caught up with her and asked:

"Liu Xian, you just said that Consultant Li is coming?"

"Why do you say that? Do you know something that we don't?"

"If it's Consultant Li, then we can just watch from a distance, it shouldn't matter!"

……

When I heard Li Mu's name.

The students' attitudes changed 180 degrees, and their eyes were filled with admiration.

Hear what they say.

Liu Xian turned around and said, "I didn't say it must be Consultant Li, I just said 'maybe'."

Although she wanted everyone to go with her for courage, she would not lie about this matter.

"Never mind. We have more people than him, and we'll just watch from a distance. We'll probably get scolded at most. If it really is Consultant Li, I won't be able to eat the next time I think of him!" said the person who had just taken the lead in opposing.

Other students also expressed their support.

After all, this opportunity is indeed very rare.

In the past, Li Mu would occasionally give lectures or public courses at universities in Kyoto.

But every time the news came out, there was a huge crowd and it was impossible to squeeze in.

"Okay, let's go!" Seeing this, Liu Xian didn't waste any words and led them directly towards the gate of Beijing Film Studio.
