The Red Era, the Opening University Speech

Chapter 460 Rejecting the Nobel Prize
Li Mu explained:
"It is indeed impossible now, but it may not be possible in 50 years. Thanks to Hetu's efforts, my country's semiconductor and computer technologies are now advancing by leaps and bounds."

"my country's current gaming industry has developed based on the progress of the former."

"For example, the operating system required by the robot dog is somewhat related to the operating system of the game. Humans can control game characters, so why can't we control the robot dog?"

His answer once again made everyone in the room fall into deep thought.

Alexi, who was sitting in the front row, felt like he had been enlightened.

Yes.

Since they can use computers to write operating systems for game characters, allowing them to act according to various instructions.

So why can't we use this as a basis to create a system that can make the robot dog move?

……

Subsequently.

Li Mu continued to verify the possibility of developing a mechanical dog in various directions.

But this is not out of the kindness of my heart.

Instead, they are just painting a rosy picture for Emperor M and Big Brother.

At the end, for added authenticity.

He also said:
"Today we are talking about the future, not the present."

"You don't have to think too deeply. Many technologies are almost impossible to achieve in our generation."

"I want everyone to have an idea of ​​this, so that when the time is right, they can adapt to the changes in development more quickly. It is never a bad thing to prepare early."

As his last sentence fell.

There was warm applause in the venue, which lasted for a long time in the auditorium.

……

After the lecture.

The students were not in a hurry to leave.

Instead, he came forward and continued to discuss with Li Mu about the development of drones and mechanical dogs.

Until 1 hours later.

They dispersed with a sense of unfulfilled desire.

Alexei and Yakov were waiting outside early.

Rush forward at the first opportunity.

——It’s not that they didn’t want to, but they just couldn’t squeeze in.

……

It was past noon, almost 1 o'clock.

I saw Alexei and Yakov coming over impatiently.

Li Mu greeted them with a smile, then invited them to the dining hall for dinner, saying:

"I know that you, Professor Alexi, must be very curious about the robot dog. How about we talk about it while we eat?"

He said the game's operating system is related to the robot dog's operating system.

It can be said that it touched the latter's heart.

Therefore, its urgent attitude is not surprising.

"Of course!" Alexei said in surprise and joy.

Yakov on the side couldn't help but feel a little surprised about this.

After thinking about it, he couldn't help but ask:

"Advisor Li Mu, this mechanical dog you mentioned, won't it involve your country's military secrets?"

Hear the question.

Following Li Mu were other school leaders besides Qian Shuyan and Professor Wang.

Many experts and professors also showed curious looks.

They actually had the same doubt, but due to Li Mu's identity, they did not raise it.

"These are all things of the future. To be honest, I don't think any country can make them now." Li Mu said with a smile.

If only Emperor M and Big Brother could really do it.

He would only take it out to make wedding clothes for others if his head was squeezed by the door.

The reason why I dare to mention it so blatantly.

Of course, it is because they already have a big enough advantage in semiconductors and computers.

With the leading position in this area.

Even decades later, the two major countries may be able to produce small drones and mechanical dogs.

He was also confident that he could turn the powerful weapons they had spent so much money on into scrap metal in an instant.

Yakov nodded and said:
"I trust your judgment, but your vision is truly amazing!"

"It's a pity that Xia Country's current technological foundation is indeed not that sufficient!"

"If you need help, just ask, I will do my best to help you!"

Facing the promise made by Yakov.

Qian Shuyan and others around, including Alexi, could not help but show surprise.

To know.

The current relationship between Xia Guo and Big Brother.

It can only be said that there has been some easing.

It is still far from the mutual help relationship of the past.

"No, this matter may cause you trouble." Li Mu said.

Upon hearing this, Yakov said:
"I believe that the relationship between our two countries will get better and better, and there may be opportunities for cooperative research."

"For example, you are willing to help us develop a mechanical dog,"

"If you can agree, there should be no problem in increasing the price of the advanced scientific research equipment you mentioned earlier by five times."

The price he offered was quite generous.

However, Alexei on the side thought this was definitely a good deal.

Compared to the robot dog.

Seven or eight pieces of scientific research equipment are not worth mentioning at all.

M Empire is still just a conceptual weapon in science fiction works. They hope to be able to take it out and apply it on the battlefield.

Then we will undoubtedly be able to take considerable initiative in the competition.

"I'm afraid I have to disappoint you. I just put forward an idea. I don't know many things. If you really let me do it, the most I can do is write a control system." Li Mu said hurriedly.

If Big Brother and Emperor M think he can do it.

That's a bit too much.

Yakov looked at Alexei.

Seeing the latter shaking his head, he continued:
"It doesn't matter. It's good to have an operating system."

"If we reach a cooperation in the future."

“If you are interested, you can participate in it.”

As he spoke, he cursed Alexei in his heart.

It is a bit of a loss to exchange one operating system for seven or eight advanced scientific research equipment.

But let’s talk about this.

He wasn't going to change his tune.

Anyway, further discussions are needed to reach a consensus later.

And paying more is not without benefits.

They can show Li Mu their scientific research background and increase their appeal to him.

"We'll talk about it when the time comes. To be honest, I still prefer developing games." Li Mu said.

There is no problem in cooperation.

But let's just forget about letting him participate in the research.

He had no time for playing tricks on others.

Although Yakov felt regretful, he could only nod and said:

"Ok."

Just today.

He was in no hurry.

……

Afterwards, we had lunch in the canteen.

Yakov left in a hurry.

In less than 2 hours.

The information about the mechanical dog was sent to Big Brother.

After Ilyich, the head of the intelligence department, read it.

His expression changed instantly.

Then he immediately found General Ilyaslav and reported the matter.

The latter heard half of it.

He called the president of the National Academy of Sciences, Dzhugashvili, over and listened again.

Wait until Ilyich finishes speaking.

Ilyaslav immediately looked at Zhugashvili and asked:
"How feasible do you think the research on the mechanical dog proposed by Li Mu from Xia Country is?"

Hear the question.

Zhugashvili showed an expression of disbelief and thought:

"Are you sure you're not kidding me?"

"This is a weapon from science fiction!"

"Don't even mention us, even Emperor M can't do it!"

You can complain in your heart.

He still had to answer quickly, saying:

"General, I think this is definitely a smokescreen from Xia Country to confuse us!"

"Smoke bomb? I think you said the same thing about the computer before." Ilyaslav said indifferently.

When Xia Guo developed a computer with a computing speed of 100 million times per second.

He remembered that Dzhugashvili had made the same solemn promise.

But the result is.

If it weren’t for the intelligence department’s efforts.

I'm afraid that Xia Country has even built a computer that can run 1 million times per second.

They are still saying that a computing speed of 100 million times per second is impossible to achieve.

This sentence made Zhugashvili sweat profusely, and he said quickly:
“No, no, there is a difference.”

"Xia Guo at least has the basics in computers."

"But this mechanical dog is a completely sci-fi concept and is impossible to realize."

He was absolutely sure this time.

Conducting research based on science fiction?
Well, it's not like there is no precedent for this.

But he felt that Xia Country would never be able to do it.

joke.

Xia Country can build things that Emperor M and others cannot build, unless they pick up an alien spaceship.

"Even so, we cannot ignore this matter. You should immediately organize a team of experts and prepare to go to Xia Country for exchanges and inspections." Ilyaslav said.

Zhugashvili thought for a moment and said:
"General, you worry too much."

"Please believe my judgment this time. Xiaguo can't do it."

"Sending people there would only be a waste of time and resources."

Although the general no longer trusted him.

But he still said what needed to be said.

"Can you guarantee it?" Ilyaslav asked lightly.

These few simple words blocked Dzhugashvili from speaking next.

Ilich on the side said:

"The general is right. It's better to be safe than sorry."

"Besides, the idea provided by diplomat Yakov is also good. Even if it turns out not to work in the end, we won't suffer much loss."

"But if it is feasible, it will definitely be a secret weapon that can break the current situation in our battle with Emperor M!"

After he finished speaking.

Dzhugashvili knew that he had basically no chance to oppose this plan.

At this moment when they are fighting fiercely with Emperor M.

They will not let go of any possibility of surpassing the opponent.

……

Return to Kyoto.

Beijing Institute of Technology, game R&D center building.

After a meal.

Li Mu and Alexi came here and started talking about game development.

The latter was curious about the robot dog's operating system.

But I didn’t ask any more questions.

He still has the proper sense of propriety.

After all, seven or eight pieces of advanced scientific research equipment are worth at least tens of millions.

But he was still curious:
"Advisor Li, if your country asked you to develop this mechanical dog, would you go?"

"No." Li Mu answered without thinking.

He just used it to fool Emperor M and Big Brother.

By the way, let them shift their attention to Xia Country and prepare for the announcement of space-based weapons.

Really study it.

Only a person who has been kicked in the head by a donkey would do such a stupid thing.

Alexey asked in confusion: "Why are you so sure?"

"The foundation is not enough. Emperor M or you may have a chance, but we don't have the conditions. And I'm not interested. It's good enough to make an operating system." Li Mu said.

There was a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone.

After all, it is not difficult to see from Yakov's attitude.

Big Brother's attitude towards me is much kinder than that of Emperor M.

At least until now, there has been no assassination.

Hearing this, Alexei's heart moved, and he said, "Could it be that your leader wanted you to do it, but you didn't agree?"

"Not entirely, but I feel like I've done enough now, I can stop for a while and enjoy myself." Li Mu smiled a little embarrassedly. This made Alexei stunned.

Subconsciously want to object.

But he looked up and met Li Mu's eyes.

He suddenly discovered that this scientist, who was already famous in Xia Country and even in the world, was only about 24 years old.

If it were him.

It is absolutely impossible to achieve such a high level of achievement at this age and still be able to concentrate on research.

Thinking of this, Alexei said:

"You are right, but in Xia Country, I am afraid your idea will not be recognized, and there are no conditions to enjoy it."

The social and economic environment of Xia State.

It is difficult to find a way to satisfy Li Mu's desire to "enjoy".

"So I'm only talking to you, my friend. As for the conditions, if you don't have them, just create them. Make a few more good games, and you'll be able to get some rewards." Li Mu said with a smile.

Alexey heard this.

I couldn't help feeling a little ashamed.

Li Mu treated him as a friend.

It is really shameful that you are scheming against others.

He said secretly:

"If I can bring Li Mu to our country one day, I will definitely apologize to him!"

……

I chatted with Alexei until about 4pm.

Li Mucai got up and left.

Relying on the psychology knowledge learned before.

He successfully planted the seed in the other person's mind that he might be "corrupted".

under these circumstances.

On Big Brother's side, the possibility of targeting him will undoubtedly decrease again.

After all, they were on the Xia side.

If Li Mu is really Hetu.

Well, when we know that he has this tendency, we will definitely meet all his needs first and cut off any possibility of him being abducted abroad.

If you can't stop it.

Nor will I let it go.

The person who had a chance of being abducted by them definitely could not be Hetu.

……

After returning to the special building.

have a break.

Li Mu then began to continue his research on the tunnel boring machine.

I just opened the chat page.

The sound of a message alert, “ding~”, came to my mind.

Ask: "Li, I'm in Xia Country, now I'm in Tianmen Square in Kyoto! Picture JPG."

In the photo, he is standing in the center of Tianmen Square with the towering city wall behind him.

"When you go to Kyoto, you must have a good time. How about trying some authentic Kyoto cuisine first?" Li Mu said.

Ask said: "Okay, I've been wanting to try it for a long time, what do you recommend?"

"Then we have to talk about fried steamed bread slices, stinky tofu and soy milk. Put the stinky tofu between the steamed bread slices, eat it in one bite, and then add a bowl of soy milk. The taste is simply amazing!" said Li Mu.

Hearing this, Ask said, "Okay, I'll go try it now!"

"Remember, you must follow the steps I told you and eat it all, otherwise it won't taste the same." Li Mu said quickly.

In order to prevent Ask from giving up when he was in the first step of making stinky tofu and steamed bread slices.

He has put a lot of effort into it.

"Is it tastier step by step?" Ask asked.

Li Mu:

"It's covered."

……

End the chat.

Li Mu immediately stopped his research.

Opened the Kyoto WIFI list.

As the capital.

There are countless research units here.

This includes shield machines.

Although the ones on Da Ying's side are also good.

But it is definitely better to use your own.

After all, the geographical environment and soil are different, so self-developed products are definitely more suitable.

"China Railway Equipment Series, China Railway Construction Heavy Industry Series, China Communications Construction Tianhe Series..." Li Mu's eyes searched quickly on the WIFI list and soon found what he wanted.

However, not every series is suitable for digging tunnels through mountains.

China Railway Construction Heavy Industry and China Communications Construction Tianhe are both more suitable for urban subways, water conservancy projects and cross-sea tunnels.

China Railway equipment series has a wider range of applications, and performs quite well in subways, railways and highway tunnels.

This series is divided into the "China Railway" series and the "China Railway Shield" series.

The latter is mainly used for complex addresses and special projects, so we will not mention it for now.

"Let's go with China Railway No. 1." Li Mu made the decision quickly.

There are 50 models in the China Railway Series.

Don’t think that No. 1 is very backward.

Because this was the first shield machine independently developed by Xiaguo until 08.

Although there is still some gap in some aspects compared with foreign countries.

But it’s not that there is no way to make up for it.

"Problems with the main bearing, sealing system, hydraulic system and control system must be solved first." Li Mu calculated secretly.

These are the core components of the shield machine.

When China Railway No. 1 was first launched, it was still highly dependent on imports and could not fully achieve independent manufacturing.

However, there is information below for reference.

It was not difficult for him to solve this problem.

……

The next day, early.

Ruidian Embassy.

Robin, the agent of Emperor M, woke up from the bed and opened the curtains.

Looking at the bright sunshine.

He couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "It's another beautiful day!"

But this is a happy mood.

Soon it was interrupted by the sound of hurried footsteps.

The voice stopped in front of his door.

Then, there was a knock on the door.

He walked forward and opened the door:
Looking at the figure outside the door, Robin suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

He quickly asked:
"Why are you so anxious?"

Hearing this, Anders, whose face turned a little pale, said nothing.

He just took out the newspaper in his hand and said:

"See for yourself."

Robin's eyes followed his hand.

It was written in very eye-catching large characters in the latest issue of Xia Guoren Daily.

——"my country's famous scientist Li Mu refuses to accept the Nobel Prize"

"Xia Guo actually went back on his word!" Robin screamed immediately.

Anders said: "I want to remind you that they have not publicly said that Li Mu will receive the Nobel Prize."

He was actually quite angry.

Things seemed to be going very smoothly.

Unexpectedly, such an accident happened in the end.

Judging from this situation.

I'm afraid it won't be easy for him to complete this mission.

"Whether he accepts it or not, whether he goes or not, it will not prevent us from confirming his identity." Robin took a deep breath and calmed down.

The task has indeed become more troublesome.

However, risks always coexist with opportunities.

Li Mu refused to accept the award.

This may be a sign of guilty conscience.

If the other party's identity is really confirmed.

Then after he returns this time, it will not be a problem for him to become the head of the intelligence department.

……

People Daily:

"Recently, our famous scientist Li Mu said in an interview with a reporter that he would not accept the Nobel Prize..."

Xinmin Daily:
"As for the reason for the refusal, Consultant Li Mu said: His achievements do not need to be recognized and affirmed by awards in the Western world..."

Guangmin Daily:

"As for the reason for his refusal, he said: The country has given me the highest honor..."

……

It only took two days.

News about Li Mu appeared in the newspaper again.

On the streets and alleys.

Once again, the place was packed with people, scrambling to buy the newspapers.

Of course, it doesn’t matter if you can’t buy it.

On the radio, the announcer repeated the news over and over again in standard Mandarin.

This time, worker Xiao Zhang's luck was not as good as last time.

Didn't even get one.

Like many others, I could only squat under the loudspeaker to listen to the news.

Regarding Li Mu’s refusal to accept the award.

Naturally, people were talking about it, saying:

"Why did you suddenly not accept it? Isn't this Nobel Prize very impressive?"

"Yeah, it would be a shame not to receive it!"

"With this award, we can slap the faces of those Western countries, and then the M Emperor and Big Brother will not dare to look down on us!"

……

Under the early publicity.

The general public has a general understanding of the Nobel Prize.

Also know what it means.

When the national award was announced, everyone thought that Li Mu would receive the award.

This news was truly beyond their expectations.

The same is true for Xiao Zhang.

Just when he couldn't help but join the crowd around him to discuss the reasons.

A voice suddenly sounded loud and powerful, saying:

"Comrades, I know why!"

The man's voice instantly attracted the attention of everyone around him.

It was a middle-aged man wearing glasses.

Everyone's eyes couldn't help but show a bit of respect.

In this era.

Wearing glasses represents the identity of an intellectual.

People still have great respect for these gentlemen who teach and educate.

"Comrade, please tell us why." said an old worker nearby.

Hear the words.

The middle-aged man said in an excited voice:
"Advisor Li did this to truly build the backbone of our country's scientists to strive for self-improvement!"

"It is to boost the spirit of our people and make everyone firm in the path we are on!"

"It is also to sweep away the decadence of the past century and let our nation regain the confidence of a great nation!"

His eyes were wild.

Every word that came out seemed to be squeezed out of my throat.

With hysterical enthusiasm and admiration!

The crowd around him, which was originally a little noisy, quieted down following his voice.

Although they did not fully understand the meaning of the words at first.

But I still feel a little shocked.

And it seemed that he realized that people might not understand what he said.

The middle-aged man continued:
"The reason why Consultant Li refused the Nobel Prize is because he doesn't care at all!"

"And he also expects us not to care!"

"What about the world-renowned Nobel Prize? What about the opportunity to become famous overseas? We don't need this recognition!"

He just finished speaking.

Soon someone in the crowd, whose emotions were aroused, asked:
"Comrade, why does Advisor Li want us to not care?"

"Yeah, isn't it good to be recognized by the Western world?"

"Being recognized, doesn't it prove that we have surpassed them in the development of science?"
