The Red Era, the Opening University Speech

Chapter 455 I call it - the Second Sun!
Li Mu smiled and said:
"Teacher, don't worry, it's nothing to know."

"Except for you, no one abroad probably believes that I can do this."

"Even if they knew, they would probably think we were bragging. After all, we haven't even taken out the big mushroom yet."

After he finished speaking.

Master Qian Wu, who was originally very nervous, was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said:

"That's the truth. Not only do they not believe it, but even I still feel like I'm dreaming!"

"Yes, Professor Qian. If we have these two things, our country can be said to be truly rising!" Guo Huai said excitedly.

Big mushrooms are good though.

But now it seems that it doesn’t smell that good anymore.

After all, Emperor M and Big Brother both have it, and it’s better than theirs.

"That's right, we must hold this sword firmly in our hands!" Master Qian Wu said firmly.

……

Just when Li Mu was chatting about basic weapons and atomic EMP bombs.

Kyoto International Airport.

An airplane from Ruidian slowly landed on the runway.

Wait until it stops completely.

The diplomat from the Xia country, who had been waiting at the airport, immediately came forward.

The door of the plane was opened from the inside, and a group of foreigners with high noses and big eyes walked out.

Xia country diplomat Qiao Guanghua quickly stepped forward, stretched out his hand to the bearded man in the lead, and said:

"Hello, welcome to Xia Country. I am diplomat Qiao Guanghua, and I am in charge of all matters related to your visit to Xia Country."

"Hello, I'm diplomat Anders." The bearded man introduced himself.

Qiao Guanghua said quickly:

"You must be tired after sitting on the plane for such a long time. Come on, let's go to the State Guesthouse to rest."

His attitude was nothing short of enthusiastic.

After all, Ruidian was the first country to establish diplomatic relations with Xia.

This was of great significance 50 years ago, when they had just established their country and were in urgent need of international recognition.

"Joe, don't be in a hurry. Let me introduce someone to you first. This is a member of our Nobel Prize Association, Mr. Alfred." Anders said.

He said, waving behind him.

A middle-aged man in a suit and gold-rimmed glasses immediately walked out of the entourage.

Seeing this, Qiao Guanghua was a little confused, but he still shook hands with the other party and said:
"Hello, Mr. Alfred."

Anders on the side continued:

"Qiao, we came here this time for a more important purpose besides visiting."

"That is to award the Nobel Prize to your country's River Map."

"His or their achievements in physics are enough to go down in history and become the brightest star in the history of human civilization."

After he finished speaking.

Alfred on the side said:
"It is the greatest honor for every scientist in the world to receive this award. I heard that your country's river map is very likely related to a scientist named Li Mu."

"Of course, even if he is not, he is still a great chemist. Good enough to receive the Nobel Prize in Chemistry."

"If it is convenient, I hope to meet him as soon as possible, to personally pay tribute to this scientist who has made great contributions to human scientific and technological progress, and to discuss matters concerning the award."

Hear what the two said.

Even though Qiao Guanghua had great self-control, he couldn't help but twitch his lips, and said quickly:
"I see. That's a good thing. But I can't make the decision. I need to report to my superiors. Please don't worry. Go and have a rest first. We will discuss it slowly later."

He still had a smile on his face.

But I had already started cursing in my heart.

When two countries conduct diplomatic activities, they usually discuss them in advance and arrange everything clearly.

This behavior of the other party is undoubtedly disrespectful to them.

"Joe, if things go well this time, I believe that more Western countries will be willing to learn about your country. This is not an ignorant and backward land. It has the most talented scholars..." Anders was still speaking well of you.

But Qiao Guanghua no longer had the heart to deal with it.

He then answered two sentences and asked his assistant to take the other party to the State Guesthouse.

He hurried to the Foreign Affairs Committee to report the matter to his superiors.

……

National Science and Technology Commission.

Under the guidance of his secretary, Qiao Guanghua soon met Qin Yun.

He quickly explained the whole process of the incident.

After hearing this, Qin Yun was so angry that he almost cursed, and said:

"Award? I think they want to use this opportunity to find out He Tu's identity!"

"Emperor M, this is not good enough in secret, let's do it openly."

"You must hold Anders back until we come up with a foolproof plan."

Although Ruidian is immoral.

But for the sake of Xia State's international reputation, they couldn't just fall out with each other.

"No problem. But Leader Qin Yun, this is Emperor M's conspiracy. He wants to use this to investigate the information of the River Map. I'm afraid it will not be easy to deal with." Qiao Guanghua said.

They can almost imagine it.

Before Anders and his team arrived in Xia Country, the news that He Tu was going to Ruidian to receive the award had spread throughout the Western world.

under these circumstances.

It is difficult for Xia State to avoid it.

Qin Yun said:
"The worst that can happen is the loss of some international reputation, but compared to the River Map, that's nothing."

Xiaguo needs international influence in order to gain recognition from the Federation.

However, if it comes at the cost of Li Mu's safety, it would be better not to do it.

He knew clearly which one would increase international influence more, the atomic EMP bomb or a few understated comments from foreign media.

"But they also mentioned the name of consultant Li Mu, saying that he is related to Hetu..." said Qiao Guanghua.

Hearing this, Qin Yun was silent for a long time.

This problem is indeed quite tricky.

The other party was obviously coming for Li Mu.

Although they had used plans to dispel the suspicions of Emperor M and Big Brother before.

But it is undeniable.

In the absence of any target, Li Mu is still the most likely person to be suspected.

……

The next day, early.

Li Mu, who had chatted with Master Qian Wu and Guo Huai all night, woke up from his bed.

Wash up, exercise, go to the institute...

Oh, I can’t go today or tomorrow.

That's fine.

Li Mu put down his briefcase, looked at Wang Ya who was busy in the kitchen, and said:
"How about we go home today to see mom and grandma?"

"Okay, Mom and grandma must miss you too." Wang Ya leaned her head out and said.

After having a plan.

Li Mu called Guan Jianmin and asked him to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some food to take home for Grandma Li and the others.

While making the list.

Suddenly, there were three rapid knocks on the door.

Hear sounds.

Li Mu stood up and walked towards the door.

Open the door.

Then he saw Qin Yun and Guo Mo with dark circles around their eyes.

"Leader Qin, President Guo, what are you doing... is there something urgent?" Li Mu asked puzzledly.

It shouldn't be.

He has a good idea about research.

It wouldn't be a situation that would make the two of them so anxious.

Qin Yun said with a serious expression: "Let's go in and talk."

"Okay." Li Mu nodded.

……

Then, the three of them entered the house.

Qin Yun quickly explained the cause and effect of the incident.

To the end.

He said helplessly:

"The best solution at the moment is to send another comrade to receive the award on your behalf."

"But this doesn't completely clear you of suspicion."

"After all, if it's just ordinary research results, then according to common sense you can go."

Emperor M's plan did catch them off guard.

"But this is the best plan. At least your life safety will not be threatened." Guo Mo said on the side.

Li Mu refused without even thinking about it, saying:
"Absolutely not. If I ask someone to go in my place, wouldn't that be the same as asking them to die in my place?"

Emperor M came up with this plan with the attitude that he would rather kill someone innocently than let him go.

As long as Xia Kingdom sends someone over.

Nine times out of ten, there's no coming back.

"But if you don't do this, you will have no choice but to hide and remain anonymous." Qin Yun sighed.

He knew the result.

But there is no other choice.

Compared to sacrificing Li Mu, sacrificing others is the best option.

If necessary, he could even sacrifice himself to protect Li Mu and the hope of their country's rise!

"There must be other ways!" Li Mu murmured.

Of course you can remain anonymous.

However, this is not the best option.

Qin Yun and Guo Mo both looked at Li Mu pacing in the room. They did not urge him, but waited quietly for his answer.

Wang Ya's eyes were full of worry.

But no matter what choice Li Mu makes, she will choose to face it with him.

……

After a long silence.

Li Mu finally stopped and let out a long sigh.

Forget it.

It's better to hide your identity than to let others die for you.

About to speak.

Suddenly, there was another knock on the door.

The voices of Master Qian Wu and Guo Huai came from outside the door, saying:
"Li Mu, are you home? Let's continue yesterday's topic today!"

Obviously, neither of them had a good chat yesterday.

After all, whether it is space-based weapons or atomic EMP warheads, they are all products of scientific and technological and industrial levels reaching a fairly advanced level.

What Li Mu proposed were just principles and concepts.

However, he was not in a hurry to explain how to achieve it or what direction to take.

This was also the focus of their discussion last night.

After all, he had no way of taking out the research materials directly.

Theory comes from practice.

Many things are just concepts now, and it is really a fantasy to talk about using them to make weapons.

It's okay to fool ordinary people.

But big shots like Qian Wushi and Guo Huai could see the problem at a glance.

"Wait, many things about space-based weapons are still just concepts?" Li Mu's eyes suddenly lit up.

He has an idea.

……

The authority of the Nobel Prize is unquestionable in this era. As the highest award in the minds of all scientists in the world, it also holds a certain position in the hearts of scientists in Xia Country.

However, although it exists, it is not something we should give special attention to.

What they are more concerned about at the moment is the development and construction of the country.

For this reason, even if the opportunity to win the Nobel Prize is presented to them, not many people would be interested.

For example, Zhao Zhongyao, who discovered the positron, proposed the idea of ​​detecting particles, the idea of ​​detecting neutrinos, and Wang Ganchang, who discovered the hyperon antiparticle.

They all had a chance to win the award.

It’s just because I’m in Xia Country that my achievements don’t get the recognition they deserve.

After all, the Nobel Prize is an award from Western countries, so it certainly cannot be awarded to them casually.

Unless the scientists from Xia choose to go out.

However, this is obviously impossible.

……

While thinking about it, Li Mu went to open the door for Master Qian Wu and Guo Huai who were outside.

At the same time, thoughts raced through his mind, and soon he came up with a preliminary plan.

When Master Qian Wu came in, he saw two people sitting in the living room and asked in surprise, "Hey, Leader Qin, Dean Guo, why are you here?"

"Professor Qian, you don't know..." Guo Mo sighed and quickly told the story again.

To the end.

He also hinted that he wanted Master Qian Wu and Guo Huai to help persuade Li Mu.

But no matter what choice.

In fact, neither is a good choice.

Master Qian Wu looked at Li Mu and asked, "What do you think?"

"I think you must not go. You'd better hide your identity. I don't believe that Emperor M can find you." Guo Huai said from the side.

Hearing this, Li Mu shook his head and said:
"I'm definitely not going, but I don't think hiding my identity is a good option either."

"It's not that I can't bear to give up what's in front of me."

"It's just that I think that I can play a greater role in the development of Xiaguo's scientific community now."

If he hides.

It is basically equivalent to recognizing the identity of Hetu.

In this case, he will probably have a chance to reappear in front of the world only after he dies.

Otherwise, as long as you show up, you will face endless assassinations.

Master Qian Wu pondered for a long time and said:
"I think Li Mu is right. Escaping is indeed not a good idea."

"Moreover, the country invested a lot of publicity resources in him in the early stage, making him a scientific and technological star in the academic world and a role model in the minds of thousands of students."

"Our science and technology is about to enter a period of rapid and vigorous development. We need him to stand in front of the stage and inspire everyone's spirit!"

After he finished speaking.

Guo Mo and Guo Huai both nodded in agreement.

But then again.

"These are insignificant compared to his safety." Qin Yun interrupted.

He then looked at Li Mu and continued with a smile: "But I think you should have a good idea."

Hear this.

Everyone reacted immediately.

They were so anxious just now that they didn't even notice that Li Mu's expression remained calm, as if he had already found a solution.

"There is indeed a way, but I don't know if it will work." Li Mu said with a smile.

Hearing this, Guo Mo hurriedly said, "Don't keep us in suspense. Just tell us what to do. We are so anxious that we are dying!"

"It's very simple. We will create an award ourselves and not accept theirs." Li Mu said.

This answer made everyone in the room stunned.

Do it yourself?
But even if they really come up with an award of their own, they still can't escape the trap set by Emperor M.

After all, as long as Li Mu doesn't go.

They could use this to indirectly confirm his identity.

Even now, due to lack of manpower, there is no way to take action against him.

But once Emperor M recovers, he will immediately launch a violent assassination campaign.

By then, as long as Li Mu is still in the light.

You have to face the danger that may come at any time.

"Can you tell me more about this? I'm afraid it's not enough to just set up an award," Guo Mo asked.

Li Mu continued:
"It is indeed not enough, so our award should compete with the Nobel Prize."

"If necessary, I can also make a public statement to criticize them."

"As long as their attention is diverted, many subsequent problems will be easy to solve."

After he finished speaking.

Qin Yun and others in the room looked at each other in bewilderment.

This method sounds like it makes some sense.

But when I think about it carefully, it doesn't seem to have much effect.

Qin Yun thought for a long time before saying:
"It's fine to set up an award, but how can we ensure that we can divert Emperor M's attention away?"

The person who could come up with this plan wouldn't be a good-for-nothing.

This method is difficult to successfully deceive the other party.

It may even be an attempt to cover up something, making it more obvious, and increasing the level of suspicion.

Li Mu said:
"Hetu, Tiangong, and the inventor of the 3+2 axis CNC machine tool, if 'they' go up there, it will definitely attract attention."

"As for me, I can also go up and get a second prize or something."

“If that’s not enough, we’ll bring out the space-based weapons and say we’re going to enter the space domain, giving the world a little technological shock.”

Hear his answer.

Everyone couldn't help laughing for a moment.

Speaking of so many people, aren’t they all Li Mu himself?

"The method is indeed good, but space-based weapons are of great importance. We should consider it carefully again." Qin Yun said.

Development plans for space-based weapons and atomic EMP bombs.

It was classified as top secret on the day it was proposed.

If there was even one such powerful weapon, and Emperor M and Big Brother knew about it, they would probably be so heartbroken that they would vomit blood.

"Don't worry, I may not be able to do it within thirty or fifty years. As for Emperor M and Big Brother, it will take at least 60 years to have a chance." Li Mu said with a smile.

Even in the future, space-based weapons are just a concept and no country has ever developed them.

Emperor M did make a "Rod of God".

However, before it could succeed, it was directly disproven by Xia Guo.

"But our country doesn't even have a satellite now. Will Emperor M really believe it?" Qin Yun said.

Taking out space-based weapons can indeed attract the opponent's attention.

After all, this thing sounds much more powerful than semiconductors. If it hits you in outer space, you won't even have any means to counterattack.

Li Mu said:
"We don't have it, but Big Brother does. We just need to provide the technology and ideas and let them build satellites."

"I believe Big Brother would be very happy to join."

"By then, as long as Emperor M doesn't want to give up the fight for hegemony, he will have to keep up with the research, and may even have to beg us and be fooled by us."

After he finished speaking.

Everyone thought about it for a moment before they suddenly realized.

Guo Mo said:
"I see. If you fabricate a fake identity and have him propose space-based weapons and cooperate with Big Brother, then Emperor M will completely turn his attention away from you."

"Between space-based weapons and semiconductor computers, if Emperor M is not a fool, he will probably choose to investigate the former." Master Qian Wu followed.

Qin Yun also laughed and said:
"And the clever thing about this method is what Li Mu said about cooperating with Big Brother to develop space-based weapons."

"If Emperor M knew about this, he would probably be extremely anxious."

"Even if we can't figure it out in the end, I'm afraid they'll be scared to death."

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but laugh out loud.

That's right.

Once space-based weapons are successful, they will be like a sword of Damocles hanging over your head, ready to attack you.

Although they certainly won't help Big Brother build it.

But Emperor M doesn't know about this.

"No, no, leader, we still need to not push them too hard. If necessary, we can also cooperate with Emperor M in secret to prevent them from becoming desperate." Li Mu said hurriedly.

His original intention of planning.

In addition to completely freeing himself from the suspicion from Emperor M and Big Brother.

The main purpose is to deplete the national strength of the two major countries.

If we push too hard, Emperor M may think that he will become a piece of meat on the chopping board once Big Brother builds space-based weapons.

You might have to fight with them.

If this is the outcome, it would be a loss.

"I'm afraid we need to discuss this before we can decide. But I personally support you. Development is the most important thing now." Qin Yun said.

To cooperate with the M Empire is to cooperate with Western countries.

This behavior is tantamount to betraying their camp.

Even if it is done in secret, there are still considerable risks and the decision cannot be made rashly.

Li Mu nodded and said, "I understand."

……

Subsequently.

After getting the solution to the incident from Li Mu.

Qin Yun and Guo Mo left together quickly.

Whether it is a plan to fool Emperor M and Big Brother.

Or establish scientific research awards.

These are all very important matters for the Xia Kingdom, and a set of regulations must be put forward as soon as possible.

The days dragged on for too long.

Emperor M might take some further action.

……

After sending the person away.

Li Mu returned to the house.

He looked at the people whose faces were still heavy and said with a smile:

"Okay, this matter has come to an end for now."

"Teacher, Professor Guo, don't you want to continue talking about the issues of atomic EMP bombs and space-based weapons?"

"Let's just get on with it now."

Hear his words.

Master Qian Wu smiled helplessly and said, "You are really carefree. You are still thinking about research."

"We can't just stop researching, right? Besides, only by creating powerful weapons can we have the confidence to face all threats." Li Mu said.

In the face of life and death, it is impossible to say that you are not afraid.

But what can I do if I'm scared?

Really hiding?
He is unwilling.

Only by making the country strong as soon as possible can we be free from fear of these threats.

"Well said, strength is the foundation!" Guo Huai on the side nodded heavily.

If you fall behind, you will be beaten.

The Xia people learned a bloody lesson about this.

It is precisely because of this that they have to keep working hard to change all this!
Master Qian Wu said:

"Then tell us more about this space-based weapon, and we'll perfect it together."

"Since we are going to use it to fool Emperor M and Big Brother, just an idea is not enough."

"At least we need to come up with a decent theory to convince them and force them to cooperate with us."

After he finished speaking.

Li Mu smiled slightly and said:
"Teacher, don't worry."

"I already have an idea of ​​what kind of space-based system to use."

"I call it - the Second Sun!"
