The Red Era, the Opening University Speech

Chapter 486 His Value is Beyond Your Imagination

You know, the larger the oxygen top-blown converter, the higher the requirements for technology and manufacturing processes.

If Xia Kingdom could be built.

At least it shows that we have surpassed them in technology in this area by at least two or three years.

Qian Shuyan said:
"It is mainly because of the ability of our Xia country's scientists that we can catch up and surpass without equipment and technology."

Hearing this, Old Ivan pursed his lips.

He could hear it.

Qian Shuyan was secretly mocking the words "Without us, Xia Country will never develop" that they left behind when they withdrew their aid.

Now Xia Kingdom has not only developed, but also surpassed them.

The experts and professors from the Big Brother expert group felt a burning pain in their faces.

But Old Ivan still had some doubts and said:
"I still can't believe it."

"If you don't want to believe it, then don't believe it." Qian Shuyan was secretly happy.

What.

Do you also want him to take you to the location of the steel plant for a look?
Dreaming.

Old Ivan also reacted quickly and said:

"If Xiaguo really has such technology, we can benefit from each other and cooperate in heavy industry."

300t oxygen top-blown converter!

More than 3 times the production efficiency.

If you can master this technology.

The speed of their steel production will definitely be greatly improved.

In this way, we will undoubtedly gain more advantages in the arms race with Emperor M.

"Well, I can't agree to this. You should discuss it with Diplomat Qiao." Qian Shuyan spread his hands.

……

After hearing Qian Shuyan's words, Old Ivan did not continue speaking.

He was so shocked that he directly said that he wanted to cooperate with Xia Guo.

Now that I come to my senses, I'm starting to regret it.

Originally, in the cooperation that was about to be concluded, Xia State had already taken considerable initiative.

Plus a 300t oxygen top-blown converter.

I'm afraid they will have to pay a huge price this time to get what they want.

Just as old Ivan was feeling frustrated and thinking about ways to remedy the situation.

Li Mu and Professor Wang also came to the Iron and Steel Metallurgy Laboratory.

Also accompanying them were Qiao Guanghua and Yakov, whom they happened to meet after the venue was set up in the auditorium of Beijing Institute of Technology.

see them.

Old Ivan did not bother to continue chatting with Qian Shuyan about the 300t oxygen top-blown converter, and immediately stepped forward and said:

"Advisor Li, you finally showed up. It's so hard to meet you!"

"I happened to be quite busy recently, so I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for a long time." Li Mu said with a smile.

Hearing this, Old Ivan said:

"Just now, your classmate Shen Jianxin said that you have upgraded the J language. Is that what you are working on?"

The voice just fell.

Lebedev, Brook, Liapunov and other big names in the computer field immediately cast passionate glances at Li Mu.

The upgraded J language.

Its value is definitely no less than the 300t oxygen top-blown converter just mentioned by Qian Shuyan.

Efficient algorithms can improve the accuracy of trajectory calculation and real-time control capabilities, making intercontinental D missiles, anti-missile systems, etc. more accurate.

The increase in complex computing power can also accelerate research in areas such as fluid mechanics, quantum physics, and climate modeling.

It is also of great significance in promoting factory automation, improving production efficiency and product quality.

"It did take me quite some time to upgrade the J language to J++. But that was in the past. Now I am focusing more on academic theoretical research," said Li Mu.

He never hid his thoughts on J++.

After all, the wider the scope of use of a computer language, the benefits it brings tend to grow exponentially.

And even if Emperor M and Big Brother learn it, if they want to run faster, they have to buy computers from them.

Old Ivan praised:
"I really have to admire you. J language has only been around for a short time, but you have already upgraded it so quickly!"

"Yes, to be honest with you, Consultant Li, we haven't even fully studied the J language yet." Lebedev said with a wry smile.

Other computer industry giants such as Brook and Liapunov also spoke up and were amazed.

Face their praise.

Li Mu smiled modestly and said:

"It's nothing, it's just a few minor upgrades to make it more capable of handling more complex software engineering."

"Oh, Consultant Li, could you tell me in detail?" Lebedev couldn't help but ask.

Even old Ivan, who was trying hard to wink at him, couldn't stop his curiosity.

Hearing this, Li Mu explained:

"In simple terms, J language is pure procedural programming, while J++ is a multi-paradigm programming with procedural + object-oriented + generic programming + functional elements."

“In complex software engineering, J++ has advantages in code organization, maintainability, and low-level control.”

"Of course, this does not mean that J language is inferior to J++, but they each have their own strengths. For example, in small projects with clear underlying logic, J language with simple and transparent code structure is more suitable..."

Following Li Mu’s introduction.

Lebedev and other computer experts fell into deep thought.

to be frank.

Most of them didn't understand.

After all, it involves software engineering.

There isn't much research on them at all at this point.

It may be a bit level.

I'm afraid only one side holding a notebook to remember is happily going to Alexei.

Think of this.

Lebedev, Brook and Liapunov all looked at Alexei at the same time.

He seemed to be aware of everyone's gazes.

Alexey looked up sharply.

I thought I would have to face everyone's blaming eyes again.

I only discovered it after a closer look.

Instead of showing the disappointed expressions as before, everyone's eyes revealed a hint of encouragement.

As if to say:

"Remember this carefully, don't miss it!"

……

After explaining the difference between J language and J++.

After this episode.

Lebedev and others' attitude towards Li Mu was already quite enthusiastic.

Everyone looked like they couldn't wait to have a long chat with Li Mu tonight, and chat for days and nights.

Fortunately, Yakov and old Ivan were still sober and did not forget the important things.

……

The auditorium of Beijing Institute of Technology.

The negotiating representatives from Xia State and Big Brother took their seats one after another.

But this time.

The attitudes of both sides were not as tense as they were at the beginning.

After all, the negotiations have continued to this point.

It’s just a question of how to exchange interests.

As for cooperation.

It's a done deal.

Big Brother's superiors are reluctant to give up the mechanical dogs and space-based kinetic weapons, two powerful weapons that can end the confrontation.

They could only obediently take out all the industrial equipment that Xia Guo wanted.

And no discounts are allowed.

Originally, Yakov and old Ivan wanted to fight for this.

For example, atomic reactor design and uranium enrichment extraction process, aircraft engines, wind tunnel test equipment, etc.

Each of these is very valuable, and it would be impossible to agree to all of them.

But before they could speak.

Li Mu's next words completely eliminated his desire to bargain. He said:
"If our cooperation is successful, we will be able to provide you with the greatest technical support in the research and development of artificial intelligence."

"Artificial intelligence?" Yakov was stunned.

Lebedev and others sitting in the expert group at the back all looked as if they had expected it.

As early as when Li Mu just came, he mentioned that he was studying academic theories.

They began to speculate.

Now it seems that the result was not beyond their expectations.

As a pioneer in the field of computing technology language, how could I not study this challenging direction?

"Excuse me, Consultant Li, you may have surpassed us in computer research, but not necessarily in artificial intelligence," said Old Ivan.

They have made considerable achievements in the field of artificial intelligence.

For example, pattern recognition and computer vision, automatic reasoning and logic programming, natural language processing and so on.

Although after the Dartmouth Conference of Emperor M, they were somewhat inferior in terms of application.

But in theory, it is still at a very high level.

——At least it’s much better than Xia Country.

Li Mu smiled and said:

“You do have some research, but the hardware bottleneck will affect the implementation of complex artificial intelligence models.”

"At the same time, the research approach that focuses on theory over practice also ignores the exploration of its broader application directions."

"For example, autonomous driving. If we hand over the driving rights of the car to artificial intelligence, we can free our hands, don't you think?"

After he finished speaking.

Some experts and professors in Big Brother’s expert group immediately looked thoughtful.

But some people think this is a bit ridiculous.

Yakov said:

"Automatic driving? I don't feel comfortable leaving my hands on the steering wheel while driving."

"No, if cars can drive themselves, what about robot dogs?" Old Ivan at the side suddenly reacted and whispered.

Self-driving cars don't sound very useful.

But the mechanical dog automatically seeks out enemies and fights.

This is terrible.

1000 mechanical dogs that need human control and 1000 mechanical dogs that can move on their own to eliminate targets are two completely different concepts.

Think of this.

Old Ivan looked at Li Mu with deep eyes.

After seeing Li Mu smile at him, he became more certain of his guess.

He finally discovered it.

Whenever they try to bargain.

Li Mu always managed to come up with some skills to force them to make concessions.

If he were the diplomat Yakov.

It must feel a bit frustrating.

But he is not.

So old Ivan actually hopes to come more often.

From robot dogs to space-based weapons engineering to artificial intelligence.

The technologies revealed by Xia Country are more surprising than the last.

He even suspected that Li Mu might be hiding something that he hadn't taken out yet.

Think of this.

Old Ivan said:

"Advisor Li, do you have any other 'secret weapons'? Why don't you tell us all at once so that we don't have to argue any more. This will also save you time, right?"

Hear this.

The eyes of the members of the diplomatic corps headed by Qiao Guanghua from Xia State immediately lit up.

The same thought came to their minds at the same time - Big Brother is going to give in!
"I really don't have any more. Artificial intelligence is just getting started, so I don't have that much energy. But I don't know whether there is any above." Li Mu smiled faintly.

Hearing this, Old Ivan nodded slightly without any doubt.

After all, this does make sense.

Artificial intelligence covers a very wide range of disciplines. After Li Mu studied this, he would not have the energy to do other things.

Even if Li Mu really asked it.

He would only think that it was done by people like Hetu, Tiangong and Kaiwu.

……

The negotiations concluded quickly.

After retreating again and again.

Although the big brother was a little hesitant, he still agreed to many of the conditions proposed by Xia State.

Of course, it was not paid in full at once, but was divided into three batches and delivered to Xiaguo in sequence within four years.

If during this period, they discover that Xia Guo has committed any technical fraud, they have the right to withdraw the aid.

Xia Guo basically agreed to these conditions.

After all, we have obtained more than 200 technologies and equipment, so there is nothing wrong with agreeing to a small request from Big Brother.

What if you’re discovered?
Li Mu said that this would absolutely not be possible.

He personally controlled the progress of the research, which was enough to confuse Big Brother's experts and professors.

Within 10 years, it can be guaranteed that Big Brother will not become suspicious.

Ten years later, it is possible that we will be doubted because we have not produced any substantial results.

However, by that time, Xia's deterrent forces such as nuclear weapons, the Weilong-1 fighter jet and the Xuanwu-1 main battle heavy tank had all been unveiled. I believe that Big Brother and Emperor M would be willing to talk to them "calmly".

……

After the meeting.

At the invitation of Old Ivan, Lebedev and others.

Li Mu accompanied him to the State Guesthouse for dinner.

Just when they were enjoying their meal.

Inside the Ruidian Embassy.

Robin's heart felt itchy as if it was scratched by a cat.

People looked outside the window again and again.

According to his explanation.

If the intelligence personnel who came to Kyoto got wind of the news.

She would immediately stand in front of the embassy door wearing a black scarf three times and tell him through special code words.

Just waited for a long time.

He didn't receive any message.

"Hey, I've really lost my mind. How could I make such an outrageous decision!" Luo Bing sighed.

He had originally planned to falsify intelligence.

The result came to a critical moment.

But then changed his mind.

——There is absolutely no reason for the higher-ups to send two more people to supervise him. He simply wants to serve the country.

In the end, Robin didn't dare to take the risk and decided to take a gamble.

Although it was a bit troublesome to be caught by Shun Teng.

But as long as the intelligence is valuable enough.

Then the higher-ups will still be willing to pay a price to exchange him back.

Just as he was getting restless and stood up to check the window for the 37th time.

Finally saw the intelligence delivery person.

But it was different from the plan.

The other party did not walk on the street wearing a black scarf as agreed.

Instead, he climbed over the embassy wall and staggered towards where he was.

And behind him.

A large number of Xia State guards were gathering rapidly.

"Is he crazy!" Robin couldn't help cursing in his heart.

But the next moment, he reacted.

As an intelligence officer, the other party should still possess basic qualities.

Faced with this kind of exposure, unless they don’t want their family members left in the country to have a hard time, they would never come to him easily.

So there is only one answer.

——The other party obtained extremely important information, but because his identity was exposed, he had no way to send it out in time, so he could only take the risk to come to him.

Got this figured out.

Robin calmed down immediately and quickly went to find Anders, the diplomat from Ruidian.

By this time the latter had received news that someone had broken into the embassy.

After seeing Robin.

I immediately understood his intention and said:
"I can buy you some time, but it's impossible to save the person."

"That's enough," Robin said quickly.

The two of them exchanged words quickly and then left.

Anders had to deal with the Xia guards who were searching nearby.

Robin will take advantage of this time to get information from the person who delivered the letter.

Don't think it's easy.

Being able to escape here, perhaps they still harbor some hope, thinking they can survive by relying on the information in their hands.

So he needed to find out everything as quickly as possible.

Robin was quickly thinking of a way to speak.

However, after he saw an intelligence officer delivering a letter in a room, all these words were instantly abandoned.

He looked at the middle-aged man who was shot in the abdomen and whose blood was all over the ground, and said:

"Don't worry, your family will have a safe life for the rest of their lives."

"If necessary, I can also help take care of your family."

"Of course, the premise is that it has such value."

The middle-aged man didn't say anything, he just breathed heavily and stared at the ceiling with a distracted look.

a long time.

Until Robin became a little impatient and was ready to try other methods.

He took out a miniature camera from his pocket and said:

"Here's the information."

“He’s worth more than you can imagine.”

"But you don't have to take care of my family."

……

into the night.

I was invited to chat with Lebedev, Brook and other computer technology experts for several hours.

From J language to J++, and then to artificial intelligence.

A group of expert professors, the youngest of whom is 20 years older than him.

They didn't even have the slightest respect for him and were like a bunch of primary school students, wanting to ask him all kinds of questions.

If it weren’t for Yakov and old Ivan stepping in in the end.

I'm afraid he's reluctant to let him go.

……

Walk out of the door of the State Guesthouse.

It was snowing outside, fluttering heavily.

Guan Jianmin brought an umbrella to shield Li Mu from the falling snow.

Just as the two of them were walking towards the car.

Suddenly I discovered that General Zhao was negotiating with a familiar figure.

It seemed that he heard some movement behind him.

The man turned around and said with a smile:

"Advisor Li, long time no see."

"Director Zhao, why are you here?" Li Mu's face was full of surprise.

This person is Zhao Suzhen from the Security Committee.

Zhao Suzhen said:

"According to the rules and regulations, I definitely cannot tell you why I'm here."

"But this matter is originally about you."

"Since you asked, I can't hide it. I'm here to catch an enemy spy."

After he finished speaking.

Li Mu was stunned for a moment and said:
"Enemy agent, is someone targeting me again?"

"That's not the case. I've been tracking down enemy spy organizations in other areas..." Zhao Suzhen quickly recounted the whole story.

It turned out that it was after he and Li Mu separated.

He has been investigating the remaining intelligence organizations of Emperor M in Xia Country.

However, these people were very cunning. After they knew they would face a thundering attack from the Xia Kingdom, they all lowered their heads and gathered together.

It was the recent sudden transfer that allowed them to seize the opportunity.

Speaking of it.

Zhao Suzhen said solemnly:

"Thank you for your help again. I was wondering why they suddenly became so bold, not only showing up, but also daring to act across regions."

"These gutter rats are extremely difficult to catch."

"If they hadn't all come to Kyoto with clear goals in mind, it would have been difficult to find them all."

He spoke in a relaxed tone.

After all, being able to wipe out the enemy spy forces left behind by Emperor M in the territory of Xia State in one fell swoop is undoubtedly a significant achievement.

Maybe there will be one or two that slip through the net.

But it is no longer something to be afraid of.

"It seems that the effect of my 'bait' is extraordinary. Emperor M suffered a great loss twice." Li Mu said with a smile.

Hearing this, Zhao Suzhen's expression changed slightly and he said:

"Before the action, it was emphasized that your safety always comes first..."

His words had not yet been spoken.

Li Mu waved his hand and interrupted:
"No need to explain. I don't mean to blame you."

"I just feel like Emperor M is still haunting me. He keeps staring at me."

"After this, they should be completely obedient. I'm afraid they won't have the ability to take action anymore."

He didn't mind being used as bait.

After all, with the protection provided, it is impossible for him to get into trouble.

And if he had known in advance that this would have this effect.

Maybe he will actively cooperate.

"Thank you for your understanding." Zhao Suzhen saluted Li Mu.

at this time.

Suddenly, a figure approached rapidly from a distance.

But I saw Li Mu next to me.

Then he quickly stopped.

Seeing this, Li Mu, Guan Jianmin and others tactfully prepared to leave.

But after Zhao Suzhen heard the news, he caught up again and asked:
"Advisor Li, I need to confirm something with you. Is there any important information in this negotiation with Big Brother?"

"What happened?" Li Mu turned his head and asked.

Zhao Suzhen said with a face full of self-blame:

"An enemy spy entered the embassy in Reeden while escaping."

"I judge that there are other enemy agents of Emperor M in the embassy."

"So I need to confirm with you to see if there is any important information. If there is, I will find it out at all costs."

His voice, mixed with the growing sound of wind and snow, floated into the sky.

If there is any important information.

Then he will definitely be held accountable and may even be removed from his post.

But before that.

He would block the news no matter what.

Even at the risk of entering the Ruidian Embassy.

Li Mu looked at Zhao Suzhen with a determined look on his face and was silent for a moment.

Then, he laughed.

"Advisor Li?" Zhao Suzhen called out with some confusion.

Seeing his puzzled face.

Li Mu said:
"Nothing important, and this leak of information might be a good thing. Otherwise, we might have to figure out how to tell Emperor M properly."

"Ah?" Zhao Suzhen looked shocked.

If the person who said this was not Li Mu.

I'm afraid he has already pinned the man to the ground by now.

"This is the plan from above. You just need to follow the process. You can put pressure on them, but you don't need to arrest anyone." Li Mu said.

Details about the Star Wars plans certainly cannot be revealed.

Even if he believed Zhao Suzhen, he couldn't say it.

After all, the more people who know, the greater the risk.

"I understand!" Zhao Suzhen nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

As someone working on the covert front, he naturally knows the importance of confidentiality.

Of course, he wouldn't just ask nothing.

After returning, you still have to confirm with your superiors.
