The Red Era, the Opening University Speech

Chapter 459 Begins to cheat

Of course, this is just a more radical inference.

But even so, people in China still don't dare to gamble.

The Xia Kingdom can master such technology, but Emperor M definitely cannot.

It would be better if I killed the person.

If he were taken to the M Empire and successfully turned against them, it would definitely be a potential and huge threat to their country.

"It's not that serious." Alexei was still a little reluctant.

Yakov looked outside the door and saw that there was no one around, so he whispered:

"To be honest with you, when we discuss this matter."

"Some radical factions in the upper echelons think that if Li Mu really falls into the hands of Emperor M."

"And if the identity is confirmed to be related to the River Map, we must be prepared to go to war with Emperor M within three years!"

fight.

This is definitely not a wonderful thing.

But if Emperor M really mastered the River Map.

That would be their only option.

If you don't do this.

By the time Hetu helps Emperor M establish a semiconductor industrial system that is as powerful as Xia State, or even more powerful than Xia State.

Then the originally evenly matched situation would undoubtedly be broken in an instant.

They will also completely lose the possibility of competing with Emperor M for hegemony.

"I understand. I will give it a try. But I think even if Consultant Li is really the one, he probably won't go to receive the award," said Alexei.

When I heard the news that war was about to start.

He also realized the seriousness of the situation.

After all, whether it is Emperor M or them, they all own big mushrooms.

No matter who wins or loses in a fight, both sides will suffer.

The fact that they were willing to take such a big risk to make a decision shows that the higher-ups were really anxious after hearing the news.

Yakov said:

"It's better for him not to go. At least the worst won't happen."

"You don't have to feel guilty."

"Even if he really is Hetu, as long as he doesn't fall into the hands of Emperor M, the upper echelons would still prefer to focus on instigating a rebellion."

All they were worried about was that Emperor M had the River Map.

As for Xia Guo, he didn't care that much.

Hetu, Tiangong, and the mysterious inventor of the 3+2-axis CNC milling machine.

These people or teams have pushed Xia State into rapid development from different aspects.

But even if there are so many geniuses.

They are also confident that it will take at least 20 or 30 years of hard work.

The Xia Kingdom is simply unable to reach their current level of national strength.

It is even more unrealistic to want to catch up.

It sounds more likely that their alliance will break up.

Alexei said helplessly:
"Okay, then I'll think of a way to test him next time I see him."

Just as he finished saying this.

Suddenly, there were hurried footsteps outside.

Hear this sound.

The faces of both men changed, and they quickly pretended to be chatting.

Not long after.

Two figures walked in from outside.

Saw someone coming.

Alexei's expression remained unchanged as he said, "Student Lisa, Student Zhang Kai, why are you here?"

"Professor, Consultant Li will be giving a lecture this afternoon. You've been talking about wanting to see him, so we told you in case you missed him," said Lisa.

Hear his words.

Yakov, who was standing by, showed joy in his eyes.

In Xia Guo's words, this is like giving someone a pillow when they are sleepy.

Alexei also showed a happy expression.

But when he thought of the conversation he had just had with Yakov, he couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

After thinking for a while, he said:
"Thank you very much. If you hadn't come to remind me, I might have been out with Mr. Yakov to taste the delicious food in Kyoto."

He also found a reason for Yakov's appearance.

The latter heard this and laughed:

"It's okay, Professor Alexei, your business is more important."

“You can eat delicious food anytime.”

"But if you miss Consultant Li Mu's class, you really miss it."

……

Day two.

Li Mu went to the Semiconductor Research Institute as usual to guide the research work.

In addition to the improvement of integrated circuits.

There is also the development of SAMCAD.

You also have to pay attention to it.

Not just for submarine-launched D bombs.

It is also a powerful tool in the development of satellite engines.

Worked till noon.

He then left and prepared to go to Beijing Institute of Technology.

After leaving yesterday.

Qian Shuyan arranged the lecture that day.

Today, he can just go there and start teaching directly.

……

to the place.

Li Mu directly asked Guan Jianmin to drive the car into the school.

After stopping in the open space in front of the administrative building.

He hasn't gotten out of the car yet.

Someone up there had already noticed his arrival.

Didn't take two steps.

Qian Shuyan brought Professor Wang and the school's leadership team to greet them.

After a brief greeting.

Li Mu said, "Dean, I just came here after dinner. Let's get straight to the point and start the lecture."

"That's fine, go earlier so that the students can see you earlier." Qian Shuyan nodded with a smile.

Soon, the group set off for the lecture location.

……

The auditorium was packed.

More than a thousand students filled the space.

This is because it is a holiday and there is no publicity from Beijing Institute of Technology.

Otherwise, I'm afraid the auditorium would be crowded with people.

At the main entrance.

Yakov and Alexei looked into the distance from time to time.

The former had originally intended to leave.

But then I thought, why couldn't he attend the open courses?

This is a good opportunity to get close to Li Mu.

So he made an excuse and ran over here directly.

"You must not be in a hurry for a while." Alexei whispered to Yakov who looked into the distance from time to time.

The latter laughed and said:
"How is this possible? That's Mr. Li Mu. I have always respected him very much, but it's a pity that I have never had the chance to meet him."

"His achievements are comparable to those of the world's top scientists."

"No, even Newton and Einstein did not achieve such great success at their age."

He was generous in his praise.

These words also made some students who were also standing outside straighten their backs unconsciously.

Two years ago.

It is unimaginable that a scientist from Xia Country would be so respected by Big Brother's people.

"I know, I know, but no matter how excited you are, you should be more restrained. After all, you are still a diplomat," said Alexei.

Hear his words.

The students around couldn't help but look at Yakov, and they felt even happier.

Just when they were thinking about whether to discuss Advisor Li Mu's academic achievements with the diplomat.

A group of figures in the distance slowly walked towards us.

A sharp-eyed student immediately recognized Li Mu who was walking in front and shouted loudly:

"Advisor Li is here!"

Hear this shout.

The students standing at the door hurried forward and said:
"Hello, Consultant Li!"

"Advisor Li, do you still remember me? You told me to study hard, and I have lived up to your expectations!"

"Me too, thanks to you, I was able to find the right way to study!"

……

A group of students excitedly surrounded Li Mu.

Listen to their words.

Li Mu couldn't help but reveal a happy smile on his face and said:

"You did a good job, but don't be too proud. You need to work harder!"

"We will!" the students said in unison.

Just when we were having a happy chat here.

Yakov and Alexei squeezed for a long time and finally reached the front, panting.

Looking at Li Mu.

The former immediately shouted: "Hello, Advisor Li, I am Yakov, a diplomat from the Red Alliance!"

"Hello Mr. Yakov, nice to meet you." Li Mu said with a smile and extended his hand.

Seeing this, the students around gradually quieted down.

After all, the other party is a diplomat.

At times like this, we should still maintain basic courtesy.

Yakov held Li Mu's hand tightly and said:

"I have always admired your achievements in the field of science, Mr. Li."

"To be honest, many famous scholars in our country, at your age, cannot match your achievements."

"I even often envy you. It would be great if our country could have a scientist like you!"

His tone was sincere and didn't sound fake.

However, this compliment has a subtle hint of suggestion.

After all, the higher-ups really want to pull Li Mu over there.

He doesn't mind giving it a try before he fully understands it.

"You're too kind. These are just some insignificant achievements. I just did what I could within my limited scientific research capabilities and conditions." Li Mu smiled.

Naturally, he would understand the meaning of the other party's words.

So I don’t mind saying a few words.

But before the latter's eyes could show joy, he continued:
"If you can sell us more scientific research equipment, I think many scientific research projects in our country will be able to progress more smoothly."

Hear this.

Yakov smiled and said, "Of course no problem, I'd be happy to make it happen."

Want to go fishing.

Gotta throw some bait.

He is still clear about this principle.

If Li Mu is really willing to join them.

Even if it is not the River Map, the upper echelons are willing to spend considerable resources to "poach people".

After all, a scientist who has achieved remarkable results at the age of 24 is a talent worthy of attention no matter which country he is in.

"You are so generous, you are not planning to sell us some obsolete scientific research equipment, right? I am afraid it will be of limited help to us." Li Mu continued.

Hearing this, Yakov was stunned.

That was indeed his plan.

After all, many scientific research equipment in their country, even if they are obsolete, are advanced products when they are brought to Xia Country.

But since Li Mu said so.

He also can’t skimp.

"Of course not. I can guarantee you that I can get you at least one piece of scientific research equipment you want," said Yakov.

He believed that they could still afford one or two advanced scientific research equipment.

There is a good saying in Xia country: You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a kid.

Moreover, through the equipment that Li Mu wanted, they could also indirectly verify whether the other party was as good at research as the legend said, and even try to explore the possibility of his relationship with the River Map.

No matter what.

They won't suffer any loss.

……

After reaching a preliminary intention of "cooperation".

Yakov didn't argue any further and quickly stepped aside.

Just do it when you need it most. Doing too much will backfire.

After all, for a young and promising scientist.

The interests of family and country still play a very important role.

……

Afterwards, Li Mu and Alexei briefly greeted each other.

He quickly walked into the auditorium.

It was just a matter of convenience to get a batch of equipment from Yakov.

In his eyes, nothing is as important as today's lecture.

School leaders wearing gray, blue and black Zhongshan suits followed behind him, tacitly keeping a distance of at least one meter from him.

And with his appearance.

The gazes of the students in the auditorium were instantly drawn over as if they had encountered a magnet.

In their eyes, there is respect, admiration, and love.

Pairs of blazing eyes followed Li Mu's footsteps.

As he walked, he smiled and greeted the students in the auditorium, saying:
"Hello, classmates!"

"Hello, Consultant Li!" The uniform response echoed in the sky above the auditorium like a tsunami.

I don’t know when.

Qian Shuyan and others who followed Li Mu had stopped consciously.

Li Mu walked alone through the middle aisle and stood on the stage.

He raised his hand.

The students who were cheering excitedly suddenly became quiet.

Normally, Qian Shuyan and other school leaders would come up and say a few words at this kind of lecture.

But looking at the students who can’t wait.

They decisively canceled the plan.

Anyway, no one will listen even if I say it, so why bother going up and wasting everyone's time.

After getting a signal from Qian Shuyan's eyes, he started right away.

Li Mu said slowly:
"My classmates probably don't know the topic I'm going to talk about today."

"In the previous few times I came here, I talked about mechanical engineering, software engineering, game engineering and so on."

"Today I want to combine them and tell you what the future national defense projects will need..."

He first briefly pointed out the theme of today's lecture.

National defense is a broad concept that includes many aspects.

For example, military facility construction, fortifications, logistics support, communications and intelligence, scientific research and experiments, etc.

Li Mu did not intend to explain everything systematically.

The main thing he wanted to talk about was military weapons.

After giving an overview of the history of defense industry construction in various countries around the world.

Li Mu finally said:

"Aircraft carriers, submarines, tanks, artillery, airplanes, and radar are the three major weapons on the sea, land, air, and electronic battlefields that influence the outcome of the war."

"It is also the key research and development direction of the military industry in the world's defense industry."

"However, with the development of technology, this pattern is bound to change. What direction do you think it will develop in the future?"

He asked a question to all the students present.

In the early 60s, the concept of land, sea, air, space and radio battlefields was only in its infancy.

There has been great development in sea, land, air and electricity.

I also have a certain concept of heaven.

However, the concept of space battlefield has not yet fully matured.

It is only as the United States and its big brother launched more satellites and realized manned space flight that its potential in the military began to gradually emerge.

"It's space!" Soon, the students gave the answer in unison.

Li Mu was not surprised to hear this answer.

He smiled and nodded:
"Everyone is right. Space is definitely an important area for national defense."

"There are so many things that can be done tens of thousands of miles in the sky."

“Space technology is not only a tool for scientific exploration, but also an important component of national security and strategic deterrence…”

……

Students, professors and experts who came to the audience to attend the event.

Following Li Mu's narration.

The people below were taking notes carefully, word for word.

The auditorium was silent.

All you could hear was the sound of the pencil tip sliding across the paper.

Of course, not everyone is so serious.

For example, Alexei.

He looked at Li Mu who was speaking eloquently on the stage.

I can't help but have some doubts.

"The content this time doesn't seem as refreshing as before!" Alexei said to himself.

About the content of Li Mu’s previous public lectures.

There are many students who specialize in organizing and collecting.

He has studied them carefully one by one, and has very unique insights and advanced understanding in fields such as software engineering and mechanical engineering.

Every time I watch it, I feel that I have gained a lot.

But the content of today's session is more about the analysis of the current situation.

Moreover, he was a little surprised that Li Mu suddenly mentioned the defense industry.

"Didn't we agree to develop a game together?" he muttered to himself.

……

I have the same doubts as Alexei.

And Yakov.

He admitted that Li Mu's summary and understanding of the national defense industry were very accurate, even somewhat ahead of their time.

However, these contents.

There is nothing substantial, which is disappointing.

Just when he and Alexei were at a loss for words.

Li Mu on the stage raised a second question:
"What types of military weapons do you think will be the mainstream on various battlefields in the future?"

After he asked this question.

Everyone below fell into deep thought.

Giant mushrooms, supersonic fighter jets, aircraft carriers...these are all easy answers to come up with.

But instinct made them feel that.

The question raised by Li Mu is definitely not that simple.

After a long time.

Then a professor slowly raised his hand and said:
"Advisor Li Mu, we really can't think of an answer. Those common answers don't seem to be able to answer your question."

"I believe that what you want is not those things."

"So why don't you give us some hints so we can find the direction."

After he finished speaking.

Everyone was slightly surprised.

But it also feels natural.

It is not shameful to ask questions from those who are less knowledgeable than you.

And raised this question.

It’s Li Mu.

It is normal not to be able to answer this question.

"Then let me give you a brief reminder. I mentioned drones in what I just said. Have you ever thought that there may be other unmanned military weapons in the future?" Li Mu said.

His answer made everyone fall into deep thought again.

Unmanned military weapons.

This is indeed a new direction.

However, due to the high cost and high price, coupled with the imperfect domestic technology.

So no one among them thought in this direction at all.

Instead of spending a lot of money to build a drone.

It would be better to develop planes and cannons.

One student immediately said:

"But Advisor Li, isn't the cost of developing unmanned military weapons too high?"

“It’s really a very advanced technology.”

"But as it stands now, it will be difficult for us to get involved for quite some time."

Someone started.

The students below also began to speak enthusiastically.

They did not choose to blindly follow and approve simply because of their status and authority.

Instead, they actively expressed their opinions.

After everyone has finished speaking.

Li Mucai continued:

"Everyone is right, but technology will improve, and things that are expensive now may not be expensive in the future."

“Take drones, for example.”

"Why is it so expensive now? Because it's targeted at fighter jets, but what if we make it smaller?"

Miniaturization.

This concept stunned everyone present, and then they felt as if they had suddenly been enlightened.

Alexei and Yakov's eyes lit up.

“But after being miniaturized, won’t its combat capability decrease?” an expert quickly stood up and questioned.

The weapon systems that large drones can carry are sometimes even as good as those of conventional fighter jets.

However, the weapons that can be used by miniaturized drones are quite limited.

If not handled properly, a drone fighter may not even be as good as an ordinary soldier.

Li Mu explained:
"It will indeed descend, but why do we have to use it in a high-altitude battlefield?"

"From another perspective, if we can make a drone that can fly at high speed at low altitude."

"Even if it can only carry a few bombs at a time, it can play an unexpected role in combat."

He explained to everyone, bit by bit, the combat mode of drones in future battlefields.

After all, Xia Country doesn’t even have large drones now.

There are still some barriers to understanding.

Of course, these do not involve the core, they are just the pie he painted.

And there is no need to worry about Emperor M or Big Brother developing such technology.

The emergence of small drones did not occur until the 90s.

The time when it is actually applied on the battlefield will be a little later.

Even if the two major powers decide to devote all their efforts to research now, they will not be able to use it on the battlefield for another 20 to 30 years.

And when that time comes.

They have already developed weapons to deal with it.

“If this is the case, then the role of drones will indeed be surprising,” the expert who asked the question exclaimed.

Li Mu smiled and said:

"In fact, compared to drones, which already have a certain foundation, I prefer robot dogs."

"Some students may not know that this is a concept of military weapons in some foreign science fiction works."

"But I think that low-cost, sturdy, fearless mechanical dogs may become the mainstream on future ground battlefields..."

He briefly talked about the concept of the mechanical dog and its possible applications on the battlefield.

Everyone present looked at each other in confusion.

Although it was Li Mu who proposed it.

But the weapon concepts in science fiction works are taken as research targets.

It still makes people feel a bit absurd.

"Advisor Li, we, no, not even Emperor M and Big Brother, may be able to make such a weapon!" a professor said directly.

The voice just fell.

Another expert stood up and said, "There are also problems with its power, operating system, structure, and materials."

If only a mechanical dog could really be made.

That doesn't appear in science fiction.

Instead, he just killed everyone on the battlefield.
