The Red Era, the Opening University Speech

Chapter 450: Emperor M and Big Brother's Sense of Urgency

"I understand, General." Zhugashvili smiled casually.

Ilyaslav continued:
"Once the test is completed, I will personally ask for credit for you and the experts and professors from the National Academy of Sciences."

"But you can't slack off."

"Just 100 million times per second is far from enough. We need to reach 1000 million times per second as soon as possible, or even surpass this number quickly!"

It’s not a pleasant feeling to be surpassed by your former little brother.

Especially when things have just gotten bad.

Sending people over there to learn and request trading technology is undoubtedly a slap in the face.

They still have a lot of strategies to complete in Xia State.

This situation must be reversed as soon as possible so that those plans can be completed, otherwise they will always be constrained.

"General, don't worry, we will do it!" Zhugashvili assured.

As the two were talking.

Suddenly, the researcher who was conducting the test exclaimed.

Ilyaslav and Dzhugashvili's attention was immediately drawn to it.

"What's going on?" the general frowned and said.

The dean hurriedly explained:
"Maybe there was a little accident. I'll go over and take a look."

As he said this, he took a few quick steps and prepared to go over to check the situation.

But he didn't wait for him to get closer.

Then they saw a visible black smoke rising from their test computer.

See this scene.

Dzhugashvili shuddered all over and subconsciously tightened his buttocks.

He didn't dare look back at the general's expression. He walked faster and went forward to inquire about the situation.

……

After a flurry of activity.

Zhugashvili brought the results and nervously came to Ilyaslav, who had a calm face.

to be frank.

If the general kicked his ass again, he wouldn't be so nervous.

His calm expression now seems more like the calm before the storm.

"Tell me, what's the problem and how long it will take to solve it." Ilyaslav said expressionlessly.

Upon hearing this, Zhugashvili hurriedly said:

"It's a problem with the interface. The computer interfaces sent by Xiaguo are all specially made, and they are different from the ones we used to have."

"The imitation we made did not meet the standards."

"So there was a small accident. Don't worry, we will solve this problem in three days, at most three days."

After he finished speaking, he stared at the general nervously.

"Okay, just three days. After three days, I want to see the results." After saying this, Ilyaslav left without looking back.

Seeing this, Dzhugashvili not only did not feel relieved, but he felt a little uneasy.

If I had known earlier, he would have said half a month.

"Why don't I catch up with him and explain it to him? The general should be able to understand." Dzhugashvili thought hesitantly.

He really can't do it!

But soon, he gave up this plan.

Because he saw.

Ilyaslav walked to the gate, suddenly stretched out his foot, and kicked the door next to him with a "bang", making a deafening sound.

The force was so great that the steel door was twisted and deformed.

He estimated that if he chased after him and told him what was on his mind, the outcome would definitely not be much better than that door.

……

M Emperor, National Academy of Sciences.

Dean Barton looked at the latest research situation with a sad face and sighed.

But it's not the same as Big Brother's.

They successfully overcame the interface problems and created the first computer with a computing speed of 100 million times per second.

However, this success was not as surprising as expected.

In order to build this computer, they invested more than one million dollars.

Of course, high costs are not unacceptable.

The biggest problem is that the computer with a speed of 100 million times per second is obviously lagging behind Xia Guo’s Type 02 computer.

No, it should be said that there is a cliff-like gap.

With their current technological level, it is impossible to achieve a computing speed of 1000w times per second in a short period of time.

Unbelievable though.

But this is news that the intelligence department has verified for a long time and received confirmation from the Red Alliance.

The credibility is extremely high.

As a superpower, it has scientific and technological strength and industrial base.

They all deserve to be number one.

"Fortunately, Xia Country is currently in conflict with the Red Alliance!" Patton secretly rejoiced in his heart.

To tell the truth.

If these two great powers unite.

One has military strength, the other has high-tech strength. I'm afraid they may really lose in this battle for world hegemony.

Just when he was filled with emotion.

Suddenly, there were two soft knocks on the door outside the office.

He came back to his senses and said, "Come in."

"Hello, I'm Simon, Simon Clay." A young man in a suit walked in and greeted politely.

see each other.

Barton immediately stood up, shook hands with the other party, and said:
"Simon, since you are here, you must have known something about this cooperation."

"We have reached a cooperation agreement with your company through the Atomic Energy Commission."

"In the next few days, you will work with Professor John Moakley and Professor Jay Prespo to complete a research task that is vital to our country - the giant machine."

As he spoke, he looked at the young man in front of him.

The other party is the current chief designer of CDC, who once worked in the UNIVAC design team and has outstanding abilities.

Because he was obsessed with building the giant machine in his mind.

The CDC also built a laboratory for him 80 miles away from its headquarters for him and his research team to conduct research.

It is said that what they are researching is a giant computer with a computing speed of more than 300w per second - CDC6600.

"Mr. Patton, to be honest, I still find it hard to believe that Xia Country can develop a giant machine with a computing speed of over 10 million," said Simon.

In the field of mainframes, he believed that he was at the forefront of the world.

Even he didn't dare to say that he could build a giant machine that could run 1000 million times per second.

What’s more, it is that ignorant and backward country.

Barton Road:
"Believe it or not, they have mastered the technology."

"And word is that the Red Alliance got one."

"If we don't catch up, we will soon lag behind them in high-tech development."

After he finished speaking.

Simon waved his hand and said, "I don't care about these. I only care about when I can see the information."

The reason why he came here.

It was just because I learned that the other party had more advanced giant machine information.

He doesn't care about the rest.

And if he is not satisfied after seeing the information, he will not stay here for long even if it is the company's instruction.

"Don't worry, you will see..." Patton said.

The words were not finished.

Another person walked into the office.

see each other.

He called his assistant and took Simon away to check the information.

Then he asked, "Sir, has Xia Country made a new technological breakthrough?"

"No, Dean Patton, relax." The man who came was the head of the intelligence department of Emperor M.

He continued with a smile:
"It's just that the higher-ups have new plans for Hetu and Tiangong."

I heard that it was news that Xia Guo had done something again.

Patton breathed a sigh of relief.

A computing speed of 1000w times per second is already astonishing.

If you continue to improve.

Even if God himself helped, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to catch up.

He perked up and asked:
"Has the identity been confirmed? Are we going to take action again?"

Throw in the national factor.

In fact, he still admires the two teams, Hetu and Tiangong.

After all, being able to create a world-leading computer in a backward country like Xia can definitely be said to be a genius among geniuses.

"No, since the last failure, we have been unable to continue operations in the territory of Xia Country." Mok shrugged and said.

His tone was very relaxed, and he didn't show any frustration about the matter.

After all, if it weren’t for the failure of his predecessor, he would not have been the boss of the intelligence department.

Thinking of this, Mok continued:

"Okay, I won't waste any more time on small talk. I'll tell you about the plan."

"The higher-ups intend to use the Nobel Prize in Physics to lure Hetu and Tiangong out of the Xia Kingdom."

"As long as he goes to claim the prize, we can confirm his identity. Then it will be up to us to decide whether to kill or arrest him."

Hear about this plan.

Barton couldn't help but be stunned.

Are you serious about using the Nobel Prize in Physics to seduce scientists from Xia Country?

……

Good morning, Kyoto.

Li Mu woke up at home.

Wash up after exercise.

He went to the study and sat at the desk.

Grab a pen and paper.

It took me a long while to react.

"Space-based weapons, it's too much, it's too much!" Li Mu suddenly realized what he said yesterday.

There are no satellites.

Just want to develop space-based weapons.

In other words, his superiors trust him, otherwise no leader of any country would agree to conduct the research.

After all, not only is this thing expensive, but its power is also difficult to guarantee.

"Forget it, let's just treat it as preparation for research in advance." Li Mu sighed.

He could tell.

Both the superiors and Qin Yun were very interested in this space-based weapon.

But now there is really no foundation.

He was afraid that the people above him would be too excited and put a lot of effort into it.

This is not a good thing for the Xia Kingdom now.

"Fortunately, I am the one who decides how to conduct the research." Li Mu felt much more relieved after thinking this.

Immediately, he began to organize the research work currently at hand.

The first is definitely pulse weapons.

"No, no, I have to find someone first." Li Mu opened the chat page and connected to the WIFI of the archives room of Jianqiao University Library.

Research on pulse weapons.

It is a territory that has never been set foot in the Xia Kingdom or the world.

There is absolutely no way he could accomplish it by working hard alone.

"Sun Chengwei, Chen Yong, Ma Zuguang..." Li Mu quickly found the names of several people.

The first one will work in the fields of explosive detonation, laser radiation effects, high-power electric pulse technology and high energy density dynamics for a long time in the future.

He is a well-deserved pioneer and leader in Xiaguo's high-power electric pulse technology.

The second one...how come he is only 5 years old!
Skip.

……

After discovering that the second person's age was wrong.

Li Mu took a closer look at the ages of the others, and found that many of them were still little kids.

Even if they will all be geniuses at the academician level in the future.

It is impossible to take them for research now.

Fortunately, Sun Chengwei is of the right age, otherwise it would undoubtedly be a tragic loss of a great general.

However, suitability is only relative. The other party is currently studying in the Department of Mathematics and Mechanics at Kyoto University and will graduate next year.

"Fortunately, there is still Ma Zuguang." Li Mu turned his gaze to the last person.

This person has made pioneering contributions to the research of Xia State's laser technology and laser weapons.

In terms of ability, there is absolutely nothing to say.

The key point is that I am 35 years old this year and I am teaching at Ice City University of Technology. I can be transferred here at any time.

……

It took more than 10 minutes.

Li Mu first selected the candidates for the preliminary research team of pulse weapons.

There weren't that many people, only 10.

Looking at the list above, he was quite satisfied.

After all, those who can leave their names in the future generations have more or less achieved something.

Putting them together should be sufficient to deal with current theoretical research.

After all, pulse weapons are easy to research, but that is only relative to space-based weapons.

Its difficulty is no less than that of the Type 99 main battle heavy tank and the J-10, and may even be greater.

"It's time to go to the research institute." Li Mu stood up and destroyed the list.

Then he called Guan Jianmin and started the day's work journey.

……

Inside the car research institute.

Greeted the guard at the door.

Li Mu walked straight into the gate.

Came here several times.

He has become a familiar face.

As long as you are not bringing strangers with you, you will basically not need to check your ID.

As he walked inside.

Director Ma Zhihao, who was about to go to the canteen for breakfast, saw him and hurried forward, saying happily:

"Good morning, Counselor Li, you're back."

Although Li Mu had only been away for a week.

However, it felt like he had been away for several years.

"Good morning, Director. Are you going to have breakfast? Then let's go together." Li Mu said with a smile.

No matter how important research is, you still have to fill your stomach.

Ma Zhihao said: "Okay, it's a good opportunity for me to tell you about the development of the Type 99 tank during this period."

With that, the two of them headed to the dining hall together.

On the way, Ma Zhihao briefly told Li Mu about the research progress of Yang Ying and others over the past seven days.

In terms of overall progress, it is still stable.

The double-layer armor structure of the protection system and the arrowhead armor kit used on the front of the turret have completed model production and are undergoing strength testing.

And then there's the engine.

They conducted more in-depth study of Li Mu's design of a V-shaped 12-cylinder, 60-degree angle twin-turbocharged intercooled engine.

Although it is not yet available.

But at least I have a complete understanding of the design process and design principles, and success is just a matter of time.

There is also research on double-layer aluminum plate air-gap thermal jackets, which has made good progress.

……

Come to the dining hall.

While listening to Ma Zhihao's story.

Li Mu walked to a place and sat down while holding the lunch box.

Judging from the current situation.

The research went relatively smoothly and we did not encounter any major problems.

This was certainly because he had given some extra information before he left.

But it is also due to the hard work of Yang Ying and others.

Thinking of this, Li Mu suddenly said:

"I passed by Fengtian this time and stopped by to chat with some old friends."

"I didn't expect that after I left, they would stay up late every day to study, and their dark circles under their eyes were as heavy as pandas'."

"Yang Ying and the others are not like this, right?"

There are many people like Wang Zhengan who work hard for research.

It's just that it is more famous, so it can be found.

"Do they dare?" Ma Zhihao paused, then laughed.

He didn't know what it was like in Fengtian.

But this is Kyoto.

Moreover, this is a research project that is highly valued by the higher-ups, so it is impossible not to pay attention to the physical condition of the researchers.

Ma Zhihao continued:

"Don't worry, I'm keeping an eye on them. I'll make sure they're fine."

"In the beginning, a few experts and professors did want to delay their research, but I immediately punished them by giving them half a day off."

"This trick has been tried and tested, and now no one dares to make a similar mistake again."

This method is useless for lazy people.

It can be used accurately by researchers in the Xuanwu-1 main battle heavy tank development team.

After all, no one wants to waste more time because of a moment of procrastination.

"That's good." Li Mu nodded slightly.

……

The skill of speaking.

Li Mu also finished his breakfast.

He immediately stood up and went to the laboratory with Ma Zhihao.

I saw Yang Ying discussing the problem with his research team.

He didn't disturb them. He waved to the young guard standing guard at the door, then stood and listened for a while.

But I only heard a few words.

He was discovered by the people inside.

After all, this was more than the first or second time that he had "eavesdropped" at the door.

This has led to experts and professors such as Yang Ying developing a habit.

Unless he was thinking too deeply, he would glance at the door from time to time.

I didn't expect that they actually caught the person.

"Advisor Li, you're back!" Yang Ying looked at the figure at the door, with visible joy on his face.

Seeing this, Li Mu raised his hand and said:
"Don't worry about me, just continue. What you just said about the self-tightening process is very good and worth learning."

"With my level of skills, I am just showing off in front of you. You have to do it yourself." Yang Ying said embarrassedly.

The self-tightening technology of tanks is not a new term.

It first appeared during World War II and was used in the production of large-caliber artillery.

The main function is to improve the strength and durability of the gun barrel. The gun barrel may explode during firing due to uneven heating of the inner and outer walls.

Li Mu smiled and said:

"The principle is very simple. It is nothing more than applying high pressure to the inner wall of the barrel during the production process."

"Its internal density is greater than the external density, which can offset the pressure caused by the expansion of the inner wall during launch."

"In this way, the stress concentration caused by uneven heating of the inner and outer walls of the barrel will be significantly reduced."

After he finished speaking.

The experts and professors in the laboratory who had been prepared had quickly written down all the words.

These are indeed relatively basic research materials.

However, when spoken from Li Mu's mouth, it seemed more concise and clear, and easier to understand.

"The principle is simple, but we have conducted several experiments and have not been able to achieve the desired effect." Yang Ying said with a little embarrassment.

Theory and practice are two different things.

Even though they all understood the principle, there were still problems with materials, technology, etc.

All of these may lead to errors in the final result.

Hearing this, Li Mu hesitated for a moment, then said:
"Since things aren't going well, why not try my new idea?"

"Consultant Li, please go ahead." Yang Ying's eyes lit up and he quickly took out a pen and paper.

The others also quickly turned a page of their notebooks, their eyes sparkling.

Seeing this, Li Mu continued:

“In fact, the method is still the self-tightening process, but it is a single-arm self-tightening.”

"When producing tank guns, the inner layer is first subjected to high pressure squeezing."

"This way, we can reserve some space for expansion pressure in advance..."

He talked about the single-arm self-tightening technology of later generations.

The principle of this process is actually quite simple.

However, in later generations, many countries, including Japan and South Korea, were unable to achieve this.

Because its requirements for industrial base are extremely high.

"First, we need to precisely control the pressure and deformation to ensure that the inner and outer rings of the barrel expand when heated..." Li Mu analyzed slowly, trying to make his point clear.

The difficulties of the self-tightening process are mainly concentrated in three aspects.

Technology, materials, equipment.

The first two are relatively easy to solve.

But the last one requires the design of special equipment.

For example, equipment that can apply uniform pressure to the inner ring and ensure the stability and accuracy of the equipment.

……

It took about an hour.

Li Mu basically explained the theory of single-arm self-tightening technology.

Everyone after listening.

They all frowned, looked at the notes in their hands, and fell into deep thought.

His expression was sometimes bright and sometimes full of confusion.

The laboratory was quiet for quite a while.

Li Mu was not in a hurry and waited for them to think slowly.

Yang Ying was the first to come to his senses and said immediately:
"Advisor Li, I understand. Leave the rest to us!"

"Don't you have any questions?" Li Mu asked doubtfully.

He stayed a little longer because he was worried that everyone might not understand something.

Yang Yingdao:
"Not yet. If there is, and we can't solve it, we will definitely ask you for help."

Hearing this, Li Mu looked at the other experts and professors again.

But they didn't ask any questions.

He guessed that perhaps because they had not yet gotten the hang of it, no one noticed the problem.

If you can really listen to the theory, you can figure it out.

It is also impossible that only a few countries will have it in the future.

Thinking of this, Li Mu nodded and said:

"Okay, I'll go first. I'll come back if you have any questions."

He didn't insist on staying to solve the problem.

After saying that, he turned around and left the laboratory with Ma Zhihao.

……

Immediately afterwards, Li Mu came to Zhang Shushun, who was in charge of auxiliary weapon design.

See him coming back.

The latter was naturally quite happy.

After simple greetings.

He quickly got straight to the point and asked about the development of the fin-stabilized armor-piercing discarding sabot projectile and the gun-launched D projectile.

Number of sheets:

“The progress is relatively smooth at present.”

"During the few days you were away, we tried to make a sample."

"It's just that the test performance is not so ideal, and it needs to be further improved..."

After he finished speaking.

Li Mu nodded slightly and praised:

“Although there were some minor setbacks, overall it is still good and worthy of recognition.”

It is normal for experiments to fail.

There is no scientific research project that can be successful after one or two studies.
