The Red Era, the Opening University Speech

Chapter 467 The lion opens its mouth

"Of course, you can still request advanced scientific research equipment. Dean Guo has already made a list. Take a look at it."

After he finished speaking.

Guo Mo, who was standing by, took out a long list from his briefcase.

The above scientific research equipment covers multiple fields such as aerospace, energy, and chemical industry.

There are no less than 200 types.

There are more than 20 marked with red signal pens.

"With so many, it might be a bit difficult." Li Mu groaned.

His original plan was to only take seven or eight kinds.

Qiao Guanghua on the side did not say anything, but nodded in approval.

Guo Mo said:
"This is just a list for reference, so you and Diplomat Joe can have an idea."

"It's mainly the 20 or so that are marked as important."

"Take one if you can. If not, take another one that's not marked."

After he finished speaking.

Li Mu looked at the name of the first scientific research equipment on the list - particle accelerator.

Including particle source, acceleration mechanism, magnet system and vacuum system, etc.

Honestly.

He thought it was a bit too optimistic.

Will Big Brother give them atomic energy technology?
Obviously impossible.

"Okay, but the plan may need to be modified, otherwise it may not be so easy to achieve our goal." Li Mu thought for a while and said.

According to the original plan.

After the meeting, they will announce the establishment of a global award.

At the same time, information about "space-based weapons" was presented.

Hearing this, Qin Yun asked directly:
"How to change?"

"When we meet, tell Big Brother the news about 'space-based weapons' in advance!" Li Mu said.

This answer surprised everyone in the room.

Qin Yun shook his head decisively and said:

"No, it's too dangerous!"

If Emperor M knew about this.

I'm afraid that even if Li Mu's identity is not confirmed yet, they will come to assassinate him again.

After all, compared with the direct and real threat posed by space-based weapons, the Hetu and Tiangong only bring hidden dangers.

"I can pretend to be completely unaware and let you tell them. Besides, my proposal to develop a mechanical dog has already distracted their attention, so there won't be any big problems." Li Mu said.

Qin Yun's eyes were conflicted.

He didn't want Li Mu to take risks.

But it’s also clear.

If we don’t do this, we will only get a few of the important scientific research equipment on the list.

But in the end.

He still said:

"That won't work. Compared to those devices, your safety is more important."

Li Mu was touched and helpless, and said:

"I understand your concerns, but there is no need to worry so much."

"Think about it, is it possible for a normal scientist to study two completely unrelated major projects, a mechanical dog and space-based weapons, at the same time?"

"That's definitely impossible. At most, they think I'm just throwing out a smokescreen."

His analysis made Qin Yun's eyes move slightly.

Guo Mo and others standing by also showed a look of realization in their eyes.

That's right.

They were all used to Li Mu taking on multiple research tasks.

I almost forgot that it is impossible for an ordinary scientist to study so many things by himself.

What’s more, it is a huge “space-based weapon”.

"I can apply to the higher-ups, but you cannot act on your own before getting their approval," said Qin Yunchang.

He did not make a clear statement.

After all, it's a risk for Li Mu.

Once you've done this kind of thing once, you'll regret it terribly.

Now it’s a second time, I’m afraid it won’t be that easy.

Li Mu smiled and said:

"No problem, I'll wait for your good news."

……

The next day, early.

Around Xiaguo State Guesthouse.

A total curfew has been in place since last night.

Every possible dangerous point in every corner was checked three or four times.

Guards were deployed over a distance of nearly three kilometers to ensure that no accidents would occur.

After all, not everyone wants to see Xia Kingdom and Big Brother "reconcile".

Robin stood in the distance, looking far away in the direction of the State Guesthouse.

This morning he finally found an opportunity to go out for a walk.

I didn't expect to discover such important information in just a short while.

"The Red Alliance and the Xia Kingdom, what are they plotting?" he thought secretly in his mind.

But I want to think about it.

But he didn't try to get closer.

Because he only took two glances.

There were already a few guards in the distance looking over there.

Fearing that he would be caught and questioned if he continued, he hurried away.

……

The time came to around 9 o'clock.

Big Brother's team of experts came to the meeting place while sitting down.

Yakov and Alexei were by his side, of course.

Walk onto the red carpet.

Qiao Guanghua immediately stepped forward to greet him and said with a smile:

"Welcome everyone, please come in, Consultant Li will be here shortly!"

Hear his words.

Yakov and Alexei didn't think anything of it.

Old Professor Ivan's expression changed slightly.

He had been to Xia Country before and provided technical assistance.

At that time, no matter where he went or what he wanted to do, he would not wait for anyone. This was the first time such a situation had happened.

"It's okay. Consultant Li has a lot of things to do. We can just go in first." Yakov glanced at old Professor Ivan and smiled.

As he said that, he took the group of experts and followed Qiao Guanghua to the conference room of the State Guesthouse.

……

Watch the expert team go in.

Outside the State Guesthouse.

Li Mu got out of the car.

But he was not in a hurry to catch up.

After all, being late was part of his plan.

Negotiation requires skills.

Although Big Brother needs their help.

But whether it is a mechanical dog or a space-based weapon.

These are things that theoretically cannot be accomplished in a short period of time, and in reality there is no hope of success even after 50 years.

You have to fool the other party and trade for scientific research equipment of sufficient value.

They need to show their confidence.

As he was thinking and planning the content of the negotiations in his mind.

Guan Jianmin on the side said:

"It's been five minutes, why don't you go in?"

After all, it is a diplomatic occasion, and it would be inappropriate to be too late.

"Don't be in a hurry. Hey, did you secretly hide two eggs in your pocket this morning? Peel them and give one to me." Li Mu said.

Hearing this, Guan Jianmin widened his eyes.

But looking at Li Mu's expression.

He also knew that he would definitely not listen to his advice.

So I had no choice but to take out the eggs and peel them quickly.

……

Just as Li Mu was eating the eggs.

In the conference room of the State Guesthouse.

The expert group was already getting a little impatient.

After all, they haven't seen the real talent yet.

They saw Li Mu's "arrogance".

Upon seeing this, Yakov immediately asked Qiao Guanghua:

"How long will it take for Consultant Li to arrive? Our expert team can't wait to start communicating with him."

"It will be soon. Sorry, please wait a moment." Qiao Guanghua said a little anxiously.

He was really anxious.

After all, it was originally agreed to be 5 minutes.

It's almost 15 minutes now!
Just as the two were talking.

In the conference room, the experts gathered together and began to complain quietly.

Old Professor Ivan looked at Alexei and asked:

"Has Li Mu always acted like this?"

“We represent our country.”

'It's really rude of him to be so indifferent! "

"No, no, Li Mu is very friendly, but he might have been delayed this time." Alexei explained quickly.

As a friend.

He felt it necessary to explain a few words on behalf of Li Mu.

Old Professor Ivan snorted coldly and said, "If he doesn't come again, we'll leave!"

He deliberately spoke louder, just to let Qiao Guanghua who was standing beside him hear him.

really.

Hearing this, a look of anxiety was visibly revealed on Qiao Guanghua's face.

at this time.

The door of the conference room was pushed open from the outside.

Two young men in Zhongshan suits walked in first, attracting everyone's attention.

However, when Professor Ivan and others looked up, they immediately showed disappointment.

They had seen photos of Li Mu before, and it was obviously not these two people.

Just when they were about to ask questions.

Another young figure walked in with steady steps.

As he walked away, he apologized:

"I'm really sorry, I was delayed by something and kept you waiting for so long!"

Looking at this person who suddenly appeared.

The experts present couldn't help but widen their eyes.

The same thought came to their minds at the same time.

too young!

Even if you've seen it in photos.

They didn't expect it either.

A scientist who is famous in Xia Country and even in the whole world.

It turned out to be such a young person!
Even wearing a well-fitting Mao suit cannot conceal the youthful and energetic feeling.

"It's okay, we understand. Consultant Li, this is the leading professor of our expert group, Professor Ivan." Yakov stepped forward and said.

After all, I am asking for something from others.

Before confirming the authenticity of the mechanical dog.

It’s okay to apply appropriate pressure, but it’s absolutely not okay to break up.

"Hello, Professor Ivan. I am Li Mu. I apologize for keeping you and everyone waiting." Li Mu said with a smile, stretching out his hand towards Professor Ivan.

Hearing this, Professor Ivan came back to his senses and said:
"It's okay, but I'm curious, what delayed you?"

"It's okay for us to wait a while!"

"But you have to know that what we represent is the country behind us!"

He started to exaggerate and tried to overwhelm Li Mu with his momentum.

If you can get the upper hand at the beginning.

Then it will undoubtedly be a good thing for the subsequent negotiations.

"It's not an important matter. Have you read yesterday's newspaper?" Li Mu said with a smile. Old Professor Ivan was stunned for a moment and said dryly:
"Look, look, does that have anything to do with it?"

He had intended to strike first.

But unexpectedly, Li Mu really looked like he was going to say it.

Don’t scientists in Xia Country have confidentiality agreements?
This is crazy!
"It's good to have read it. You should know that the advancement of computer language will bring about a series of changes. For example, the mechanical dog we are going to talk about next." Li Mu said slowly.

These words fell into the ears of old Professor Ivan.

Like a bolt from the blue.

……

Inside the conference room of the State Guesthouse.

Ended the brief exchange before the formal meeting.

Old Professor Ivan, still a little dazed, led a group of experts to sit down one by one at the mahogany round table in the middle of the room.

In response to the condolences from Qiao Guanghua and the leaders of the Xia State, his answers seemed quite slow.

Seeing this, Yakov quickly tried to smooth things over and said with a smile:

"It seems that the professor wants to start quickly."

"In fact, I am also looking forward to this exchange between our two countries."

"We are brothers from the same camp. It would be great if we could take this opportunity to go back to the past!"

Hear this.

Everyone in the room couldn't help but laugh.

Many people recalled the honeymoon period between Big Brother and Xia Guo.

The relationship between the two countries was indeed very good at that time.

But they all know.

It is basically impossible to restore that level of friendship.

"I hope so. Then let's not waste any more time talking and leave the time to Professor Ivan and Consultant Li Mu!" Qiao Guanghua smiled and said.

……

Just when the leaders above finished their polite words.

Old Professor Ivan finally recovered from his shock.

He couldn't help but look at Li Mu who was sitting opposite him, with disbelief in his eyes.

This person brought him too much shock.

For a scientific research project as important as the robot dog, any information about it is undoubtedly a state secret.

However, Li Mu blurted out the content.

If it wasn't intentional.

This inevitably makes people doubt the authenticity of this project.

"Impossible! If it's fake, it won't fool so many of us." Old Ivan threw the idea out of his mind.

He studied mechanical engineering all his life.

Even the level may not reach the top level.

But he still has vision.

If Xia Guo was faking it, he would definitely be able to recognize it at the first moment.

Think of this.

Old Ivan turned his head and looked at Alexei beside him, and whispered:

"Is this Consultant Li's character so... unruly?"

"Consultant Li has a really nice personality and has helped me a lot in game development. Besides, this was originally the topic of our discussion today, so there's no problem in saying it in advance," said Alexei.

These words made old Ivan come to his senses for a moment.

He thought to himself:

"So that's what he meant. He wanted to mislead me with this sentence and make the lie about the mechanical dog more real!"

After thinking about this.

He quickly conveyed this message to other members of the expert group with his eyes.

After all, this is quite important in the negotiations later.

Done this.

He then looked at Li Mu and said:

"You just said that the advancement of computer languages ​​will bring about a series of changes, and you cited the example of a robot dog. Can you elaborate on that?"

This question is quite tricky.

Since Li Mu brought it up first.

Then he would continue with his words and see how the other party responded.

"Of course. The original programming language for the robot dog was J, but after the new J++ came out, it was immediately modified." Li Mu said.

Old Ivan continued to ask:
"What specific advances have been made, and how do they reflect the advantages of computer languages?"

"I'm sorry, this involves our country's military secrets." Li Mu shook his head.

Seeing this, Old Ivan thought to himself, as expected.

As expected, there was a lot of buck-passing.

In Xia Guo's words, it means practicing Tai Chi with them.

Anyway, it is impossible to reveal any information about the mechanical dog to them in the end.

Of course, he certainly wouldn't be able to let Xia Guo get what he wanted.

Old Ivan's mind raced, and he said with a smile:
"But how can we cooperate if you don't reveal anything?"

"We brought considerable sincerity this time."

"As diplomat Yakov said, if all goes well, our two countries will be able to use this as an opportunity to rebuild a bridge of friendship."

Hear his words.

Li Mu pretended to be embarrassed and looked at Qiao Guanghua next to him.

After getting the latter's nod.

He then said:
"Okay, then I'll just briefly explain it."

"First, let me talk about the difference between J language and J++."

"In fact, strictly speaking, there is no difference between them, they just have their own strengths..."

It took 5 minutes.

Li Mu briefly talked about the differences between J language and J++.

From object-oriented programming, to the standard template library, to function and operator overloading, to constructors and destructors...

The whole process left Old Ivan and the experts stunned.

The same thought came to their minds:
"No, are you really saying that?"

Old Ivan looked at Li Mu who was talking eloquently and found that he was increasingly unable to understand this young man.

But he was not discouraged.

At least one thing is certain.

That is, Xia Kingdom needs their assistance.

He took a deep breath and was about to continue speaking.

But I suddenly noticed it out of the corner of my eye.

At some point, Alexei beside me suddenly took out a notebook and started taking notes quietly.

"What are you doing!" Old Ivan couldn't help but curse in a low voice.

One of their scientists.

Like a student, sit and take notes in class.

This is simply unbelievable.

Hearing this, Alexei came back to his senses from the lecture he had just been listening to.

He looked at the notes in his hand, then looked at Old Ivan, and said awkwardly:
"I just wanted to write it down so that I can study it with you and everyone else later."

Old Ivan clenched his fists, resisted the urge to curse, and continued to look at Li Mu, saying:
"So, if what you said is put into practical application, such as a robot dog, how different will it be?"

He just discovered that when Li Mu was discussing academic matters.

Will unconsciously say some important content.

So let’s bring the topic back to the robot dog and see if Li Mu will make the same mistake again.

Hearing this, Li Mu pretended to think about it and said:

"From a design perspective, the J language is process-oriented, emphasizes functional and modular programming, and is suitable for directly operating hardware and writing efficient code."

"J++ adds object-oriented programming to J, supports classes, inheritance, polymorphism and other features, and is suitable for complex system design."

"Take the real-time operating system in the underlying system as an example. Its standard library can provide richer data structures and algorithms, and improve ..."

He saw what old Ivan was thinking.

But he didn't care.

It was as if the other party knew the scientific research equipment they wanted assistance with.

Li Mu also knew that Big Brother needed powerful weapons to support his fight for supremacy with Emperor M.

"He actually said it!" Old Ivan was a little surprised.

But these contents.

He didn't quite understand what he heard.

After all, the J language has just been introduced to their country, and there are only a few people who are proficient in it.

Not to mention there are people who can tell the difference between the two.

Thinking of this, he looked at Alexei beside him.

But after he said that.

The latter obviously restrained himself a lot and did not continue recording.

Seeing this, he whispered:
"continue."

"Ah?" Alexei was stunned, with a confused look in his eyes.

Old Ivan's eyebrows twitched and he said, "Keep writing!"

Hearing this, Alexei finally understood what he meant and quickly began to record it.

……

Wait until Li Mu finishes speaking.

Old Ivan and other members of the expert group all had a thoughtful look in their eyes.

But not everyone is thinking about the problem.

Because, most of the content.

They didn't understand.

I know a little about J language, but when it comes to J++, I am really confused.

If Li Mu hadn't stopped occasionally to explain.

There was no chance to even understand that small part.

Old Ivan looked at Alexei beside him and the notebook in the other's hand, and suddenly felt fortunate that he had brought him with him. After all, although they had a recorder responsible for recording the meeting, there were too many professional terms and they might not be able to remember them clearly.

He coughed lightly, looked at Li Mu, and said with a smile:
"Thank you very much for your explanation, Consultant Li Mu. It has broadened my horizons and given me a lot of inspiration."

The voice just fell.

The professors in the expert group suddenly looked at Old Ivan in unison, their eyes full of surprise.

The same was true for Alexei standing beside him.

He looked at Old Ivan with admiration and thought:

"As expected of a famous professor in our country, I can only understand 20% to 30% of what he said. I don't have any inspiration at all!"

Looking at the expressions of the expert group.

Li Mu couldn't help but smile.

With his ability, he naturally could see that Old Ivan was bluffing.

But he didn't expose it.

Instead, he said politely:
"Thank you for the compliment. I just made some theoretical plans. I am not responsible for the specific development."

"Then who or which unit is responsible?" asked Old Ivan.

Hearing this, Li Mu smiled but said nothing.

He seemed to realize that he had asked a stupid question.

Old Ivan said quickly:

"Sorry, I don't want to get any information, I'm just a little curious."

“Since you have shown your sincerity in applying.”

"Then we can't be stingy, let's talk about the terms."

He saw Qiao Guanghua's "anxious" expression, so he got straight to the point.

After all, there is not much point in continuing to ask questions.

Maybe you can hear something useful.

But this way of squeezing toothpaste could not satisfy him.

What's more, most of them... didn't seem to understand.

"Okay, then let me tell you what we need, heavy lathes, heavy milling machines, heavy boring machines..." Li Mu smiled.

Then he listed more than fifty kinds of scientific research equipment for heavy industry in one breath.

While he was speaking.

Old Ivan's expression, from calm at the beginning, gradually became somewhat distorted.

Especially when you hear about scientific research equipment such as particle accelerators, three-coordinate measuring machines, laser interferometers, tensile testing machines, etc.

He finally couldn't help but said:
"Excuse me, Consultant Li Mu, but the chips you have shown are not enough to support this transaction."

"Since we want to cooperate, we must at least ensure basic fairness before we can continue."

"The idea of ​​a robot dog is indeed amazing, but if it cannot be realized, it has no value."

Hear his words.

Li Mu was not in a hurry to answer, but calmly took a sip of tea first.

Then he said:

“It really has no value.”
