The Red Era, the Opening University Speech

Chapter 462 Li Mu wants to accept a disciple
Alexei continued:
"But why do you suddenly want to develop a game like this?"

"I've studied your previous games over and over again."

“Although there are war-themed titles, they are not numerous and their sales are average.”

It is normal that war themes are not popular among foreigners.

After all, this type of game is all about being immersed in the experience.

With the previous image quality, even the blood effects couldn’t be produced.

The fact that it was able to sell hundreds of thousands of copies was all thanks to the reputation accumulated from previous games.

"That was when black and white games were popular, but now we already have the foundation for color games." Li Mu smiled.

Hearing this, Alexei's eyes lit up and he said:
"It's actually true. I secretly... secretly overheard some discussions among Shen Jianxin's classmates, but they refused to tell me. Now I don't dare to confirm it."

There has been a breakthrough in gaming hardware technology.

The game development center must keep up with the research.

Some of the content was overheard.

Not that strange.

"I'm afraid their attitude is not that polite?" Li Mu teased.

Alexei, who let the cat out of the bag, said helplessly:
"I really didn't mean to eavesdrop. I just happened to be passing by and heard a sentence or two."

"And it didn't even take 5 seconds."

"I was discovered and asked to leave."

Hear this.

Li Mu smiled more cheerfully and said:
"It's a good thing you're a professor sent by Big Brother, otherwise you would definitely be beaten."

"Stop making fun of me and tell me what you think." Alexei quickly changed the subject.

He didn't dare say that he had been secretly stepped on a few times and his toes were still swollen.

He felt ashamed to say this.

Li Mu nodded slightly and said:

"In fact, the overall process is similar to previous game development, but for this interstellar war game, we want to add more training systems."

“I also plan to introduce different races and have them fight among the stars.”

"Grand narratives, glorious wars, and warriors who sacrifice everything to defend their respective homes will be its main theme..."

He slowly elaborated on the idea for the new game.

However, he did not copy the later games.

It is a mixture of many contents.

For example, the racial war is a bit like the later "StarCraft".

But they are not completely consistent.

It is impossible for players to control so many combat units, and current technology cannot support it.

So we can only start from the individual.

After he finishes speaking.

Alexei immediately clapped his hands excitedly and said:
"Wonderful, really wonderful!"

"Advisor Li, if this game can be made!"

“It will surely be welcomed by everyone and sell well all over the world!”

Although he only completed "War 1" developed by his own country.

But I have been in the game development center for so long.

I have also communicated with Li Mu many times, and I still have some basic vision.

This new game, in terms of both gameplay and plot, crushes all previous games.

"By the way, it should have a name, right? I wonder if I can be the first to know it?" Alexei continued.

Li Mu smiled and said:

"of course can."

“The name is very simple.”

“It’s called Star Wars!”

Hearing the name Li Mu said.

Alexei couldn't help but be speechless, although the name was indeed simple and easy to understand.

But it is used too frequently.

He couldn't help but advise:

"Tank Wars, Plane Wars, and Star Wars."

"Isn't it too casual of you to name it like this?"

"A game like this is bound to be sought after by countless people, so perhaps we should be more cautious."

If he is the developer of this game.

It takes at least a few days, or even weeks, to come up with a name for the game.

It is impossible to name it "XX War", it seems like a name that was thought of on the spur of the moment.

"The simpler things are, the easier they are to remember. There's no need to make them too complicated." Li Mu said with a smile.

Alexei thought for a moment and said:
"What you said does seem to make sense."

"These games called So-and-So War have all sold well overseas."

"Hey, what do you say about me making a game called "Ship Battle"?"

For the gaming market.

The upper echelons of their country are actually quite envious.

However, the first "War" was not intended to occupy the market, but to learn technology.

So the final sales volume was not ideal.

The entire alliance combined only has 50 copies.

And "War 2" is the product of the huge economic value of Xiaguo games.

However, the requirement was to sell at least 100 million copies, which gave Alexei a headache.

Therefore, he suddenly thought of making a "Battle of Ships" game.

“You can do it, but it’s better to change the name, such as Ship War. Otherwise it will be easily regarded as a pirated product and affect your reputation.” Li Mu suggested.

He didn't mind Alexei copying his name.

With the opponent's level, it would be difficult for him to catch up with Shen Jianxin and others.

Not to mention the gap in hardware.

If Big Brother is given another ten years, he can only catch up to Xia Country’s current level.

And the more they develop in this area, the more beneficial it will be for Xia Country's gaming industry.

After all, if you want to catch up, you have to buy equipment from them first.

Alexei nodded and said:
"You're right. It would be embarrassing if people mistakenly thought it was a game you developed, and then found out it wasn't. "

……

I stayed in the exchange student dormitory for about an hour.

Li Mu stood up and said goodbye.

Walk down the dormitory building.

He waved to Alexei who came down reluctantly, then turned and left.

But he was in no hurry to leave.

Instead, he was walking along the corridor in the campus.

While recalling whether there were any mistakes in the conversation just now.

The purpose of his visit was not just to exchange game development experience with Alexei.

His plan to develop "Star Wars" was just a smokescreen for Big Brother and Emperor M.

Even though it's just a game.

But still the same sentence.

It depends on whether you dare to bet whether I have it or not.

"No wonder Emperor M always used this trick to fool Big Brother. It really works." Li Mu said secretly in his heart.

Just when he was thinking deeply.

Suddenly, a slightly trembling voice sounded in front of him:
"Advisor Li!"

I heard someone calling me.

Li Mu raised his head.

After seeing the other person clearly, a smile appeared in his eyes, and he stepped forward and said:

"It's you, Gao Jialin. It's vacation time now, aren't you going home?"

"My foundation is too weak. I want to learn more while everyone is on vacation." Gao Jialin said respectfully.

These words almost made Li Mu unable to hold back from complaining.

Weak professional foundation?

I don’t know what Gao Jialin’s classmates thought when they heard this.

He smiled and said:
"Your spirit is commendable, but you should not be too modest."

"I heard from Dean Qian that you are the top student in the mechanical engineering major."

"You took the interdisciplinary exams this year, so you took two exams at once, right? Last time I came over, I saw you running out of the exam room. How was it, how did you do in the end?"

Hearing this, Gao Jialin lowered his head and said ashamedly:
"I only ranked second. Zhang Hongxin, who majored in software engineering, is still too good. I have to work harder to have a chance to catch up with her."

"It's already pretty good. Don't push yourself too hard." Li Mu was slightly helpless. He walked forward and patted the other person's shoulder.

The hand just clapped.

He found that something seemed wrong.

He said with a serious face:

"Why are you wearing so little?"

"No, no, I'm wearing very warm clothes." Gao Jialin said quickly.

Hearing this, Li Mu looked at Gao Jialin, who was shivering in the winter north wind of Kyoto, and said with a smile:
"You call this wearing thick clothes?"

He said that the voice of the other person sounded so wrong.

Without waiting for Gao Jialin to answer.

Li Mu continued: "Follow me."

Having said that, he walked out first.

Gao Jialin, who was standing behind, saw this and was afraid of bothering him and being angry with Li Mu.

After hesitating for a long time, he hurriedly took small steps to catch up.

……

Arrived at the teachers' dormitory building.

Li Mu came to the dormitory that Qian Shuyan had once allocated to him.

Although after he got married, he once proposed to give up this dormitory.

But Qian Shuyan said it would be better to keep it.

If he comes over normally, he can have a place to stay.

Moreover, all the faculty and staff of Beijing Institute of Technology had no objections.

After all, thanks to Li Mu, several expansion plans were established.

The houses that you could not wait for before can now be lived in in two or three years at most, and they are brand new.

……

Remove the key from the top of the door.

Li Mu took Gao Jialin inside.

Let him sit down on the sofa in the living room.

He returned to the room, took out the clothes he had worn before and said:
"I don't need these now, you can wear them later."

"It's a bit old, but it can keep you warm."

"It's only the beginning of winter now, and it will get even colder later. You have to wear something thicker."

Li Mu didn't ask Gao Jialin why he was wearing such thin clothes.

I didn't give any money to the other party, and I just solved the problem in a simple and rough way.

This young man from the countryside has his own persistence and self-esteem.

"I, I can't accept it." Gao Jialin shook his head subconsciously.

Seeing this, Li Mu said, "Why? Are you disgusted by the fact that it was worn by me?"

"Of course not!" Gao Jialin blurted out.

The voice just fell.

Li Mu stuffed the clothes on him and said:
"If that's the case, then take it. Otherwise, if you freeze down, Dean Qian will be so scared that he will faint."

This is not a joke.

If Qian Shuyan knew Gao Jialin was dressed like this, he would probably rush over without stopping.

"You, could you please not tell Dean Qian? He has been very good to me and I can't continue to trouble him." Gao Jialin said in a low voice.

He has received a lot of care at Beijing Institute of Technology.

Everyone was very friendly to him.

Especially the dean Qian Shuyan.

She would come over every once in a while and ask him if he needed anything, and if so, he would have to tell her.

Li Mu smiled and said:

"It's okay not to tell him, but I can't just sit back and watch this problem of yours."

"How about this, if you are free during this winter vacation, go to the game development center and help out."

"I'm planning to develop a game and I need help. How about 15 yuan a month?"

He knew that Gao Jialin would not easily accept his help.

So I changed my approach.

"I'm willing to help, but this is what I should do. I don't want money!" said Gao Jialin.

Li Mu didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"That would mean you're being called in to work for nothing. If you work hard, you'll get something in return."

"You deserve this salary. And it can be regarded as a small exercise for you."

"If you do well, I can transfer you to the institute for internship in advance."

Hear his words.

Gao Jialin, who was originally a little hesitant, immediately became excited.

He stammered:

"You, what you said is true. You can really let me go earlier..."

"Of course, once something is said, it cannot be taken back. How can I lie to you?" Li Mu said with a smile.

In this era, it is still not easy for college graduates to get the opportunity to work in a research institute.

Gao Jialin continued:

"Then can I go to the Semiconductor Research Institute?"

"Well, that depends on your performance." Li Mu said.

Seeing this, Gao Jialin immediately stood up from the sofa.

He said in a firm voice:
"Don't worry, Consultant Li. I will definitely not let you down!"

Looking at the young man in front of him with slightly red eyes.

Li Mu nodded slightly.

Then, he asked Gao Jialin to sit down and asked about his academic performance and future research directions.

Not surprisingly.

The path taken by the latter basically overlaps with his.

He didn't object to this.

After all, this is his well-known research field.

There are only software engineering, mechanical engineering, steel metallurgy, materials science...

When you think about it, it seems like quite a lot.

……

The exchange between the two did not last long.

after an hour.

Li Mu was ready to leave.

After all, you can't show too much importance.

Otherwise, he was afraid that Gao Jialin would become proud and complacent.

This is obviously disadvantageous to the other party who is still in the growth stage.

As for Gao Jialin, he was reluctant.

But he also knew that for a great scientist like Li Mu, every minute and every second was extremely precious.

He was already flattered to be able to guide him for an hour and didn't dare to ask for too much.

Looking at Li Mu's back as he got into the car and left.

He swore secretly in his heart:

"One day, I will catch up with you and become a person like you!"

……

Sit in the car.

Li Mu raised his wrist and looked at his watch.

It's already 5pm.

He was surprised and said:

"You've stayed so long. Go away."

He had arranged to go to the Radar Research Institute today.

The time was also notified in advance.

When he met Gao Jialin, he saw that there were still two hours left.

Only then can I give instructions calmly.

As a result, I am now half an hour late.

"It's okay. I've talked to Director Peng. He said there's no need to rush. Just go over there slowly." Guan Jianmin said as he started the car.

Li Mu said helplessly: "Then drive faster."

You can't blame anyone else for this.

I can only wait until this is over and apologize to Peng Shilu properly.

He quickly adjusted his state, took out paper and pen, and sorted out his thoughts.

Anti-submarine radars include surface search radar, synthetic aperture radar, fitted aperture radar, Doppler radar, over-the-horizon radar, lidar and millimeter-wave radar.

However, these are mainly used to detect the parts of submarines that are exposed to the surface.

Or it could be the surface anomalies caused by submarine activities that make it impossible to directly detect a fully submerged nuclear submarine.

If you want to detect, you still have to rely on sonar and magnetic anomaly detectors.

Previously, he proposed that the shore-based sonar array could only be used for near-shore defense.

Out in the open sea, there is still something that one cannot do.

"We need to get the shore sonar array, but we also need to find some other sonars, towed array sonars and fixed sonar arrays." Li Mu thought secretly.

This time Emperor M took sudden action.

It did disrupt his plans a bit.

The original plan was to focus on coastal defense first.

As a result, we have now decided, half passively and half actively, to launch a space-based program.

This requires them to have strong enough military support.

"It's okay to pretend to be food, but it can't be real food!" Li Mu sighed in his heart.

……

After half an hour.

Li Mu's car stopped in front of the Radar Research Institute.

Director Peng Shilu and Deputy Director Jiang Nanying heard the report.

Go downstairs to greet him immediately.

meet them.

Li Mu first apologized and said:
"I am late, please forgive me, Directors."

"Hey, Consultant Li, why are you so polite?" Peng Shilu said with a smile.

Jiang Nanying on the side also said:

"That's right. Besides, you must have something important to tell me if you're late. It doesn't matter if we wait a little longer."

If they were ordinary people, they might have some opinions in their minds.

You can replace it with Li Mu.

That's not at all.

I just feel that other important things have delayed my time.

"It's not an important matter, actually. I was just instructing a student and accidentally forgot the time." Li Mu said truthfully.

Hearing this, Peng Shilu asked curiously:
"Oh, is that so?"

"Then this student must be quite talented."

"Being able to communicate with you is probably the greatest luck in his life!"

After he finished speaking.

Jiang Nanying beside him also nodded in agreement.

A student can get guidance from Li Mu.

If this gets out, I'm afraid college students all over the country will be envious.

"He does have some talent and it's worth cultivating." Li Mu said with a smile.

Hear this.

Peng Shilu and Jiang Nanying looked at each other, their eyes lit up.

The two of them cautiously tried:

"From what you said, you plan to take him as a student?"

"I have an idea, but whether it can succeed depends on the specific situation later." Li Mu said.

Gao Jialin's talents and abilities are pretty good.

But these are just the basics.

He pays more attention to personal character.

This thing cannot be seen in a short period of time, you can only observe it slowly.

Peng Shilu and Jiang Nanying understood what was said, but they couldn't help but shudder.

Li Mu wants to accept a disciple?

The two of them were keenly aware of the thoughts he was revealing.

If other people knew about it.

I'm afraid that the number of students who want to become his students would go around the entire Kyoto.

After thinking for a while, Peng Shilu said:

"In fact, we have a few good talents in our Radar Research Institute. Would you like to consider them?"

"This..." Li Mu hesitated.

He has no experience in teaching students yet.

You can take one.

If there are too many, I may not be able to take care of them all.

Peng Shilu hurriedly said:
"If you think it's inappropriate, forget it. Just pretend I never said that."

He was just talking casually and mentioned it.

Disappointment is inevitable.

Not only Peng Shilu, but also Jiang Nanying beside him felt the same way.

If Li Mu could accept a student in radar research.

For Xia Country’s radar research.

It is definitely a great blessing!

After all, Li Mu is very powerful.

There are so many things to research that it is impossible to focus all your energy on the radar.

It would be great if they could train a student to become a leader in their future radar research.

……

Looking at Peng Shilu and Jiang Nanying, there was a hint of hope in their eyes mixed with disappointment.

Li Mu didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

He thought for a while and said:

"It's not impossible to take one, but I have to observe carefully before making a decision."

"As long as you are willing to accept it, the amount is not important, and the time is not important!" Peng Shilu said excitedly, clenching his fists.

Seeing this, Li Mu continued:

"Okay, I came here today to take a look at the research status of the shore sonar array."

"After I sent you the information last time, you should have studied it."

"Well, do you have any questions?"

He quickly got to the point.

It had delayed some time.

If we continue chatting.

I'm afraid I won't be able to go home until 11 o'clock today.

"We have looked at it, but everyone has a lot of questions and doesn't understand many of the principles," Peng Shilu said truthfully.

While talking.

He took Li Mu to the laboratory building and came to the conference room.

Looking in from the window.

I saw a group of experts and professors having a heated discussion.

The leader was a professor named Zhang Luqian.

The person arguing with him was a professor named Chen Fangyun.

Both of them are now famous radar research experts and have made extremely important contributions to the development of Xia Country's radar industry.

But at this time.

However, they argued over one issue until they were red in the face and neither of them gave in.

Li Mu signaled to Peng Shilu and Jiang Nanying, telling them not to rush in.

There are some problems.

He can hear it when he's not around.

When you are here, it is not necessarily the case.

But before he could turn his head to listen carefully.

Suddenly, a voice sounded in the conference room:
"Advisor Li is here!"

Hear this shout.

The originally noisy meeting room immediately became quiet.

Everyone, at the same time, looked towards Li Mu from Sichuan Foreign Studies University.

"It seems I can't hide it anymore." Peng Shilu looked at Li Mu helplessly, trying not to laugh.

Jiang Nanying, who was standing aside, couldn't help laughing.

Just once or twice.

I like to do this every time.

They have gained some experience, so it will be difficult for Li Mu to eavesdrop unscrupulously again.

Seeing eavesdropping failed.

Li Mu felt a little regretful.

But I didn't care too much.

He walked quickly into the meeting room and said:

"Professor Zhang, Professor Chen...it's been a long time since we last met."

"I won't waste any more time talking nonsense, and I'll get straight to the point. I just heard some of your questions, but I'm sure I missed something."

"How about this, let a comrade help me summarize it. Please be comprehensive and detailed, and don't leave anything out. Otherwise, it may affect the research."

After he finished speaking.

Reach out your hand and tap casually.

With great precision, he directly hit a young researcher who had just shouted.

See yourself being called.

The latter was excited but also a little nervous.

After standing up, he spoke with a stuttering voice, saying:
"Hello, Consultant Li. I'm Zhang Guangyi."
