The Red Era, the Opening University Speech

Chapter 482 Yes, it’s still me
Li Mu smiled and said:
"To be honest, this device is already under development, and we expect to see results within three months."

"3 months! Who designed it? It's so amazing. Could it be the person who developed the new Doppler pulse radar at the Radar Research Institute?" Liang Shoupan said in shock.

To be honest, he felt that it might take even five years to develop this thing.

Especially in such a short time.

However, the Radar Research Institute has made quite a stir before, so it is not impossible for it to make a breakthrough in millimeter-wave radar now.

Li Mu shook his head and said:
"No."

"Who is that?" Liang Shoupan asked subconsciously, and then said, "Forget it. If it's confidential, just pretend I didn't ask."

Hearing this, Li Mu said a little embarrassedly:

"It was me, actually."

Liang Shoupan: “???”

He looked at Li Mu as if he was looking at a "monster".

no way.

This news is indeed a bit shocking to people's normal concepts.

Let’s leave aside the areas that have been made public.

Li Mu not only shines in the field of D-bombs.

This groundbreaking achievement has also been made in the field of radar.

This ability is probably unique in the world, and only Einstein and Newton can surpass him.

Think of this.

He suddenly seemed to have grasped something and blurted out:
"You are the one who developed the new pulse Doppler radar, right?"

Li Mu didn't answer and smiled again.

Just this smile made Liang Shoupan gasp.

His evaluation of Li Mu reached a new level.

Einstein and Newton could suppress Li Mu, but they were just bullying him because he was young.

Wait another twenty years.

I can only look up to it!

……

Liang Shoupan looked at Li Mu seriously again.

He has been doing research for many years.

I have also seen many young geniuses who can do things that others cannot.

But this is the first one that is so powerful.

Facing Liang Shoupan's gaze, Li Mu said:

"I just helped a little. I can't say it was entirely my fault."

"That's also amazing." Liang Shoupan said.

He also didn't think that it was really the new type of pulse Doppler radar developed by Li Mu.

It’s just that it should not be “some help”, but it played a very important role in it.

Thinking of this, he immediately said:
"In that case, I accept your invitation to join the research team."

"But I still need some time."

"The institute has a research mission that is about to end. We cannot make any mistakes at this time."

Liang Shoupan was already very excited.

After all, the conditions offered by Li Mu were too tempting.

Advanced technology and clear research plans are both what countless researchers desire.

With them.

It is only a matter of time before the research is successful.

But I am still moved.

But reason reminded Liang Shoupan that he couldn't leave now.

If problems arise with the PL-1D missile in the final stage after he leaves, it would be a loss.

"Okay, then I'll wait for your good news." Li Mu nodded slightly and didn't persuade him any further.

……

Leave from the Kongkong D bullet hospital.

Li Mu continued to go to the Semiconductor Research Institute.

After his last chat with Huang Xinhua, he went to the Aviation Institute the next day.

I have been concentrating on the D bomb these days and haven't had much time to think about chip upgrades.

While sitting in the car.

Li Mu took out a pen and paper and began to write a plan.

Upgrading supercomputing chips is actually not complicated.

Improving integration is a direct way to upgrade.

But that's not enough.

It's just replacing the chip, and the cost performance is not high.

"We can start with the packaging technology. We should be able to achieve chip stacking and heterogeneous integration now." Li Mu said secretly.

Chip stacking and heterogeneous integration are part of 3D packaging technology.

But in order to realize this technology, some prerequisites are needed.

There is no shortage of high-precision photolithography now, but we need to master through-silicon via technology to achieve electrical connection between layers.

In terms of materials, low dielectric constant materials and thermal interface materials are required.

In terms of thermal management, efficient heat dissipation technologies such as microchannel cooling and heat pipes must be used.

Otherwise, the heat dissipation efficiency will be insufficient and the highly integrated chip may be burned out at any time.

Of course, the most important thing is the 3D design tool.

"Electronic design automation, it seems I have to find a way to come up with it." Li Mu paused with the pen in his hand.

Then he took out a notebook from his briefcase.

Electronic Design Automation, also known as EDA.

It is a collection of software tools for designing electronic systems.

Mainly used in the field of electronic engineering, especially integrated circuit design and printed circuit board design.

Capabilities include circuit design, circuit simulation, place and route, verification, and testing.

“I just need to complete the functions of the integrated circuit design first, which can save me a lot of effort.” Li Mu planned silently.

It is possible to fully develop an EDA, but it is a bit too time-consuming.

First solve the problem of supercomputing chip upgrade.

Then consider the subsequent improvements, which will be easier.

After all, Yang Tianxing, Zhou Xiling and Su Dongzhuang all have quite heavy research tasks on hand.

If we let them take responsibility again, it would be like treating people like nuclear-powered donkeys.

"Looks like we need to find some new talents." Li Mu felt a slight headache.

……

Came to the Semiconductor Research Institute.

Li Mu quickly found Wu Youxiang and Wang Shoujue and told them about his idea of ​​developing EDA.

Naturally, the two of them fully supported it.

As for the person in charge.

Wang Shoujue said directly:

"I'll be in charge."

Hearing this, Li Mu and Wu Youxiang looked up at the dark circles under his eyes.

Then they shook their heads at the same time in perfect tacit understanding.

"What? You don't believe me." Wang Shoujue said when he saw this.

Li Mu said:
"It's not that I don't trust you, but I think this research project is not that difficult. We can find some new people to take charge and give them some training."

"Yes, I remember that there are quite a few good talents in our institute, such as Wang Xuan and Ni Guangnan, who are very good." Wu Youxiang said on the side.

Both he and Li Mu knew Wang Shoujue.

To put it bluntly, the latter will definitely be stubborn and say that he can handle it.

So we started by training new people to stop him from saying anything else.

Wang Shoujue was still a little worried and said:

"They have some talent and their abilities are not bad, but it is still too early for them to be solely responsible for the development of a software."

"You have to practice to grow. Look at Yang Tianxing and the others, they are the best examples." Wu Youxiang said.

Hearing this, Wang Shoujue thought about it and felt that it did make some sense.

He also realized that Li Mu and Wu Youxiang didn't want him to get involved.

So I didn't say anything more.

Anyway, he is the deputy director.

It is only natural to then go to the project team to take a look and correct any problems that may arise in a timely manner.

……

Subsequently.

The plan was finalized.

Wu Xiwang quickly asked someone to call Wang Xuan and Ni Guangnan.

see them.

Li Mu was quite satisfied.

The reason why he was confident in entrusting the task to the two of them.

In addition to the reason of training and cultivating new researchers.

There is another reason.

That's hearing their names.

Wang Xuan, a future computer text information processing expert and founder of computer Chinese character laser typesetting technology.

Ni Guangnan is a computer expert and academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering.

Although these are all future achievements.

But at least it can be confirmed that both of them have promising potential.

However, when I heard him say that he would hand over the EDA development task to them.

Wang Xuan and Ni Guangnan were a little uneasy and said:

"Advisor Li, isn't it inappropriate for us to be in charge?"

"In fact, it would be better to let Team Leader Zhou and Team Leader Su take charge. We have just been transferred here not long ago and still need to learn."

"We are either afraid of hardship or difficulty, or we are worried about delaying the progress of research."

Both of them had confusion written all over their faces.

Responsible for the project.

They are willing from the bottom of their hearts.

But one of them has only been here for 2 months and the other has only been here for 1 month.

Before coming here, Wang Xuan worked as an assistant professor in the Department of Mathematics and Mechanics at Peking University, while Ni Guangnan studied computers at the Institute of Computing Technology.

Although I have learned a lot of cutting-edge knowledge in software engineering from Zhou Xiling and others.

I can do simple research, but I am not capable of taking charge of a whole project.

"I think you two are a good match. This is a rare opportunity. Others want it but don't have it yet." Wu Youxiang said on the side.

Upon hearing this, a look of hesitation flashed across Wang Xuan and Ni Guangnan's faces.

The opportunity is indeed rare.

But they are also aware of their own abilities.

It is still too early to be responsible for the development of a software project.

Seeing this, Li Mu said:

"Just because you can't do it, should you not do it?"

“Since Director Wu recommended you, it proves that you have the ability.

"Of course, I don't force you to agree. I just hope you understand that you should not underestimate yourself and face difficulties bravely."

After he finished speaking.

Wang Xuan and Ni Guangnan's originally hesitant expressions immediately became firm and said:

"Advisor Li, you are right, let's do it!"

"That's right." Li Mu nodded with a smile.

Immediately, he pulled the two of them aside to sit down and discuss the development issues of EDA.

However, the first problem they need to solve is not how to develop.

Instead, you need to write an application that provides a program development environment first.

Integrated Development Environment, also called IDE.

It generally includes tools such as code editor, compiler, debugger and graphical user interface.

It also integrates an integrated development software service suite including code writing, analysis, compilation and debugging functions.

“But you don’t have to use IDE to develop EDA. You can also use text editors and command line tools to study it first.” Li Mu said finally.

An IDE is not a must-have.

It just can significantly improve development efficiency.

Especially when dealing with large and complex projects, it plays a greater role.

Wang Xuan and Ni Guangnan heard this and said:

"Consultant Li, you don't have to say anything, we want to develop this IDE!" Now that the decision has been made.

They swore in their hearts that they would do their best no matter what.

How could I give up just because of a little difficulty?

"Okay, then let's start with IDE." Li Mu nodded with a smile.

If the two of them chose the easy one, he wouldn't say anything, but he would definitely give them a bad review in his heart.

Fortunately, nothing unexpected happened.

Wang Xuan and Ni Guangnan, who were later called famous scholars, had a very tenacious and hardworking research spirit.

……

2 hours later.

Under the guidance of Li Mu.

Wang Xuan and Ni Guangnan barely reached the threshold of IDE.

Developing an integrated development environment is a rather complex task, involving multiple aspects of knowledge and technology.

For example, programming languages, compilers, graphical user interfaces, etc.

These are quite difficult for the two people who have just started software development.

Fortunately, both Li Mu, Wu Youxiang and Wang Shoujue were willing to give them time.

After all, cultivation requires a bit of patience.

Otherwise, we could just let them follow the plan written by Li Mu and it would be done. There would be no need to go through so much trouble.

When Li Mu saw Wang Xuan and Ni Guangnan off.

They said firmly:
"Consultant Li, don't worry, we will definitely not let you down!"

If they are a little nervous at the beginning, worried that they will not be able to handle the heavy responsibility.

But after listening to Li Mu's in-depth analysis of the framework and algorithms of EDA and IDE.

They were full of confidence at this point.

If I can't achieve any results.

They are all unworthy of their identities as researchers.

"Do a good job. I'm counting on you." Li Mu patted their shoulders and encouraged them.

Wang Xuan and Ni Guangnan were shocked by his encouragement, nodded heavily, and then strode away.

……

Next, after the EDA problem was initially solved.

Li Mu talked with Wang Shoujue and Wu Youhao about the development of the Type 04 personal computer.

Improved integration.

It brings more than just an increase in computing speed.

It also means that the functions that personal computers can achieve have become richer.

The simplest and most direct one is the upgrade of the user graphical interface and multi-tasking operating system.

The development of Macintosh and Windows-like graphical interfaces becomes possible, and mouse operation, window multitasking and icon-based interaction will also be realized in succession.

Do this step.

All we’re away from the Internet age is a network!
“Perhaps in three or four years, all research institutes in Kyoto will be able to play Rainbow Alert on the local area network.” Li Mu thought.

There is no way to solve the problem of network construction, it can only be solved by relying on time.

But there is no big problem in building a local area network.

Once we cover Kyoto, we can really organize such a game event.

No, what scientists do cannot be called relaxation, it is more appropriate to call it experimentation.

After listening to Li Mu’s introduction.

Wang Shoujue and Wu Youhao were also full of curiosity about the Type 04 personal computer and couldn't wait to see the day of success.

But then.

They thought of a question and asked:
"I'm afraid the computing speed of this Model 04 personal computer is a bit high?"

"It should be able to exceed 6000 million times per second." Li Mu thought for a while and said.

The integration level has been increased by more than 2 times, so achieving this performance is not a big problem.

And if we hadn't intended to blindly pursue computing speed.

It is not impossible to break through 8000w.

Wu Youxiang and Wang Shoujue took a deep breath.

Even though they were prepared, they were still shocked to hear this answer.

Another exponential improvement!

"What about the cost? How much do you think it will be?" Wu Youxiang continued to ask.

Li Mu said:
"About 10 yuan. It should be able to drop further once the manufacturing process matures."

"Just 10? I thought it could be reduced lower." Wu Youxiang said with some regret.

Starting with the Model 03 PC.

The cost of manufacturing computers has been reduced to more than 10 yuan.

He originally thought that this time it could at least be reduced to single digits.

Li Mu explained:
"If we just want to improve the computing speed, then we can indeed reduce it even further, and we can get one for only 50,000 or 60,000 yuan."

"But I'm going to add a lot of new features to this personal computer."

"And these functions will greatly promote our future research work!"

After he finished speaking.

Wu Youxiang and Wang Shoujue immediately understood.

They just say it.

The integration has been improved so much, there is no reason for the price to be reduced only a little.

"In terms of research, we will listen to you." Wu Youxiang nodded slightly, and then said:
"But isn't it hard to sell the Model 5000 personal computer, which can perform 04 million operations per second?"

In fact, the 3000 million times per second 3rd generation personal computer is also difficult to sell.

After all, in terms of technology.

If Big Brother and Emperor M can digest it after taking it, and make a giant computer, it can at least exceed 1 million times per second.

That's why.

So now Xiaguo dare not sell the Type 03 personal computer at all.

This also resulted in the Type 02 computer being unable to be exported in large quantities.

"Isn't this easy to do? Just let the Institute of Computing Technology research a series of computers specifically for sale. If you have any technical difficulties, you can come to me." Li Mu said with a smile.

In his opinion, this was not a difficult matter. The only thing that needed to be paid attention to was the confidentiality of the technology.

Hearing this, Wu Youxiang nodded and said:

"That's a good idea, but I'm afraid you'll have to show up in person."

"Why is this?" Li Mu was stunned.

Wu Youxiang spread his hands and said:
"I'm afraid Director Yan will get angry with me."

"Don't forget, they are the Institute of Computing Technology."

"It's fine that they are usually outclassed by us, after all, they are indeed inferior in skills. It's a bit unreasonable for us to come and 'provoke' them."

Hearing Wu Youxiang’s words.

Li Mu was silent for a moment, and thought that it did make sense.

Although he only needs to report to his superiors.

But there is no need to offend people in such a place.

He pondered for a moment.

Then he said:
"Then let's do joint research."

If we all work together, no one will lose face.

……

It's getting dark.

Li Mu got in the car and left the Semiconductor Research Institute.

along the way.

You can see people walking on the road wearing thick cotton-padded clothes issued by the factory and with smiles on their faces.

This scene was rare in previous years.

After all, there are only so many jobs, and it is impossible for everyone to get a job in a factory.

But after more than two years of "factory construction".

In the Kyoto area, basically anyone who meets the requirements can get a job in a factory.

This has greatly accelerated their economic development.

The most direct expression.

More people are going to supply and marketing cooperatives and department stores to buy things.

The streets were full of people carrying large and small bags of things in their hands. Naughty children were playing around with the adults, and their laughter was as clear as silver bells.

"There are still 10 days until the Chinese New Year, right?" Li Mu suddenly reacted.

Think of this.

He immediately asked Guan Jianmin to turn the car around.

……

In the large courtyard.

Centered on Li Mu's home.

Neighbors gathered together.

But they weren't just chatting.

Instead, he was helping the leaders from Beijing Film Studio to collect information about Li Mu's deeds.

Speaking of which.

Uncle Zhong was the most excited.

He waved his hands and said in a full-throated voice:
"Ever since the day he moved into our compound, I knew he was a good student."

"Leader, you don't know, he never lets go of the book in his hand every day."

"At that time, some people in our school said he was a nerd, but I was different. I knew he had great ambitions..."

Listening to Uncle Zhong’s story.

Tian Fang, the director of Beijing Film Studio, signaled Liu Shilong and Liu Xian to write down these words.

But right now.

A voice suddenly sounded, saying:
"Mr. Zhong, what you said is wrong. No one has ever said that Li Mu is a nerd."

Everyone turned their heads to look and instantly laughed.

The person who was speaking was Aunt Sun, who was always looking for trouble because Li Mu's family didn't get any advantage when they used the air fryer to fry food.

But later on, I saw that Li Mu's fame was getting more and more famous.

Moreover, Li Jun became the factory director, and with Grandpa Zhong taking care of the yard, she dared not cause trouble again.

After all, they would be thankful that they were not in trouble.

Uncle Zhong didn't say anything.

Whether it has been said or not, everyone in the slum has figured it out.

But now he came back to his senses from his joy.

I also think there are some problems with what I just said.

If this incident affects Li Mu's image in the eyes of the people across the country, he would probably not be able to face Li Mu again.

Seeing that Grandpa Zhong didn't say anything, Aunt Sun looked at Grandma Li and said:

"Grandma Li, isn't that right? How could Xiao Mu be a nerd? If this rumor gets out, it will be really bad."

Hear this.

Grandma Li, who was originally very happy about the visit of Tian Fang and others, immediately turned unhappy.

If it were up to his temperament.

No matter what, there is no way he would let Aunt Sun go easily. He would definitely seize the opportunity to harm her for a long time.

But when she thought about the possible negative impact on her eldest grandson, she became deflated.

Compared to Li Mu, it doesn’t matter whether she can vent her anger or not.

Thinking of this, Grandma Li was ready to speak for Aunt Sun.

But that's it.

Liu Shilong on the side suddenly laughed and said:
"I think this is actually very good. Genius is something that ordinary people cannot understand."

"In the eyes of outsiders, former consultant Li might have been a 'nerd'."

"But now it seems that it is precisely because of this unknown period of hard work that today's consultant Li Mu and today's people's scientist have been created!"

His words made Tian Fang's eyes light up.

If it were written this way, it would definitely be more true and more interesting than the statement that Li Mu was "gifted" and "famous in the village" since childhood.

"Teacher Liu, you are right, but I think we should still respect reality and not misinterpret it at will." Liu Xian reminded in a low voice.

They are now preparing a movie script about Li Mu.

However, the leader of the Cultural Committee personally asked them to seek truth from facts and not cause any damage to Li Mu's image.

According to Liu Shilong, it is certainly more dramatic.

But it is obviously easy to be misunderstood.

"That makes sense..." Liu Shilong nodded, not angry.

His idea was definitely wrong.

The "Legend of Li Mu" filmed this time is not only a movie, but also a task assigned by the superiors.
