The Red Era, the Opening University Speech

Chapter 488 The First Spring Festival Gala

"You're talking about our cooperation with Big Brother? But this isn't enough to guarantee it for 20 years," said Master Qian Wu.

He knows part of Star Wars.

But this "deceptive" method may work temporarily.

But time has passed.

The scientists on both sides of Emperor M and Big Brother are not fools and will definitely notice that something is wrong.

Sun Jiadong, who was standing by, was confused and asked curiously:
"Advisor Li, Professor Qian, what are you talking about?"

"A plan. You will have a chance to know it later." Li Mu explained.

Of course, the Star Wars plan could not be told to Sun Jiadong at this time.

He turned his head and continued to speak to Master Qian Wu:

"We don't need 20 years, 10 years is more than enough."

10 years later.

The Weilong-1 fighter will succeed!

Xuanwu-1 main battle heavy tank will be successful!
Atomic submarines will do the trick!

The land-based intercontinental D bomb will succeed!

If this paper strength is not enough, then add Xia Country’s strongest land army.

Unless everyone wants to finish the game together.

Otherwise, Li Mu couldn't think of any reason why Big Brother and Emperor M would want to take action against them.

"Ten years!" Master Qian sighed and remained silent for a long time.

This time is too long.

No one can be sure of the future.

But the way he looked at Li Mu, it didn't seem like he was attacking without a purpose.

So in the end I didn't persuade him anymore.

——After all, the land-based intercontinental D bomb is indeed a very tempting project.

……

at the same time.

The other side of the ocean.

M Emperor, National Academy of Sciences.

Cheers rang out in the giant machine's research laboratory.

Hear this sound.

Dean Barton couldn't help but quicken his pace.

He walked to the door and looked at Simon, John and Jay who were hugging each other excitedly, and said:

"The giant machine succeeded?"

These words instantly made the originally bustling laboratory quiet.

success?

……

It turned out that Patton was overthinking.

Even if you form the strongest team.

Even if nearly 5 million dollars were invested.

Even through special means, some core information of the Type 02 computer was obtained from the Red Alliance.

It is impossible in such a short time.

The development of a giant computer with a computing speed of 1000w times per second was completed.

This is not a technical problem.

It's a matter of time.

Even if you want to catch up, it will take a process.

"So Dean Patton, you understand, we just solved the design problem of the supercomputer chip, we didn't succeed." Simon said.

But this obviously did not satisfy Patton.

After all, Xia Country has developed a computer with a computing speed of 1000w times per second, so they are not afraid.

What we are afraid of is that the Red Alliance will do it.

If you can't catch up quickly.

With the advantage in computers, the overall technological level that was originally widened between the two sides is likely to be surpassed.

Think of this.

Barton Road:
"Three professors, please give me a definite answer and tell me when this giant machine can be built?"

"We can't wait, we really can't wait any longer."

"If this continues, I'm afraid my position as dean will be over."

Hearing this, Simon and the other two looked at each other and said:
"Give us another year and we will definitely be able to complete it!"

When the technology, funds and personnel are ready.

1 year is more than enough.

"Okay, I feel relieved when you say this!" Patton breathed a sigh of relief.

Such a short time.

Even if the Red Alliance is built first, it will not lag too far behind.

Just let them break through the 1000w times per second mark.

With Emperor M's technological background, we will soon be able to catch up.

As for Xiaguo...

"1000w times per second should be the limit of Xia Country. It is impossible to see a big improvement in a short period of time!" Patton said in his heart.

He is not kidding himself.

Rather, it is the consensus of many domestic experts and professors.

——Xia country has successively produced computers with computing speeds of 100 million times per second and 1000 million times per second. This is definitely not an achievement that could be achieved in a short period of time.

As Barton thought about it, his mood became happier, and he even considered whether he should have a good cigar and relax in the office.

But right now.

Two big men in suits appeared in front of him.

Intelligence department!

……

Emperor M, meeting room of the intelligence department.

Every time Patton came here, he would receive bad news.

This time there is no exception.

When he walked into the house.

I saw a general from the military.

"General Mac!" Patton forced a smile on his face, ready to be scolded.

But it was beyond his expectation.

Mike did not show anger as expected, but was very calm and said:
"Dean Barton, please immediately mobilize a group of experts and professors in computer technology, electronic engineering, mechanical engineering, etc., and prepare to go to Xia Country!"

"Go to Xia Country, why?" Patton asked in a lost voice.

He had a bad guess in his mind, but he didn't dare to say it out loud.

And I also felt that maybe I guessed wrong.

After all, they haven't even established diplomatic relations with Xia State, so how could they allow so many experts and professors to go there?

"We need to figure out the mechanical dogs and space-based projects they created," General Mike said calmly.

Hearing this, Barton forced a smile and said:

"But isn't that Xia's trick? The intelligence department is also investigating. To be honest, I..."

He hasn't finished speaking yet.

Then it came to an abrupt end as General Mike stretched out his hand.

The admiral stood up and looked around the conference room.

Those who were seen by him would lower their heads unconsciously.

Epaulettes, General Mac said:

"We have already found out that Xia Country does possess these two technologies and has reached a cooperation agreement with the Red Alliance."

"And they have access to computers with higher computing power."

"I don't want to hold you accountable for the mistakes you made in the past because of your arrogance, but at least now we need to find a way to remedy it."

Hear this.

Patton finally understood.

No wonder the attitude of the upper echelons changed so much all of a sudden.

It turned out that Xia Guo’s technology had been confirmed.

"But this is not scientific!" he thought to himself.

But I didn't dare say this out loud.

After all, today's conference room is a little empty compared to the past.

……

Return to Kyoto.

After proposing the research mission of satellite and land-based intercontinental D bombs.

Li Mu's life became busier.

I get up at 6 o'clock every morning, go to bed at 12 o'clock at night, and spend the remaining 18 hours running around in various research institutes.

This situation continued until New Year's Eve.

Because they were going to participate in the live broadcast of the Spring Festival Gala, he left for the TV station early with Wang Ya.

along the way.

The streets and alleys are decorated with festive red flags and ribbons, and everyone's face is filled with happy smiles.

year.

In the hearts of the Xia people, it often has a special meaning.

It means the end of the old year and the beginning of the new year.

On this special day.

People often like to summarize their achievements in the past year and look forward to the future.

However, Li Mu, who was sitting in the car, didn't have the time to spare.

After all, to complete the research work at hand, you must squeeze enough time.

Just when he was absorbed in writing.

Suddenly I felt the car slowly stop.

Guan Jianmin turned around and said:

"Something seems to have happened ahead. The TV station is only one or two kilometers away. How about we get off the car and take a walk?"

Hearing this, Li Mu raised his head.

There were indeed quite a few people gathered ahead.

He rubbed his brows and said:

"If what you just said were put into a storybook, there would be a 99% chance that a bunch of assassins would appear on both sides of me when I go down."

"Don't worry, if it really comes, I will block the bullet for you." Guan Jianmin said happily.

Of course he couldn't joke about Li Mu's life, he just wanted to relax his tense nerves.

Otherwise, if there is really danger around.

General Zhao, who was sitting in the co-pilot seat, took action immediately and didn't even wait for him to speak.

Li Mu joked:
"You'd better protect yourself, otherwise I'll hit you instead."

"Then my suffering was in vain!" Guan Jianmin showed an uncomfortable expression.

Zhao Canjun, who was standing by, suddenly said in a very serious tone:
"A stupid death is not a sacrifice."

This sentence made Li Mu and the other two burst into laughter, and the atmosphere in the car instantly became cheerful.

After laughing.

Li Mu, who had come back to his senses from his research, also discovered Guan Jianmin's purpose and said:

"Then let's take a few steps."

As he said that, he opened the car door and got out.

It snowed all night last night, but the weather today is very good. The sun is shining brightly, making people feel warm all over.

When Li Mu got out of the car, he put on his glasses to avoid being recognized.

But he soon found that he was being too self-indulgent.

Most of the crowd's attention was focused on the front, and they didn't even notice that there was a car parked behind.

Just as he was about to walk to the TV station.

Suddenly I heard a cry for help from the front:

"Everyone, make way, there's a pregnant woman about to give birth, hurry up and send her to the hospital!"

The voice just fell.

The crowd of onlookers dispersed in an instant, revealing a group of people inside.

The husband, wearing a green military uniform, held the pregnant woman with a big belly and ran towards the hospital under the guidance of a kind person.

Seeing this, Li Mu hurriedly stepped forward and greeted:

“There’s a car here!”

Hearing these words, the people around immediately looked over.

That's when.

Li Mu discovered that the husband was actually an acquaintance.

However, the other party did not recognize him at first.

There was no time to reminisce now.

After everyone got on the bus, he immediately said:

"Xiao Guan, drive to the hospital!"

Upon hearing this, Guan Jianmin did not hesitate at all. He immediately drove the couple to the hospital.

……

After receiving warm applause from the onlookers.

Li Mu took Wang Ya and Zhao Canjun to the TV station.

Although he helps, he will not forget the important thing.

After all, it is the Spring Festival Gala, and it is broadcast live, so we still need to prepare well.

……

Come to the TV station.

Li Mu just arrived.

Then he saw Shen Yangbing standing at the door.

Next to him was a middle-aged man wearing a blue Zhongshan suit.

The two of them soon spotted Li Mu and the other two approaching and hurried to meet them.

Shen Yangbing was surprised:

"Advisor Li, you just walked here like this?" Although he didn't know Li Mu's identity.

But from the above emphasis, we can also sense that it is not simple.

It is really surprising that such an important person can walk here on two legs.

"I met a pregnant woman giving birth on the road, so I used my car to help her." Li Mu took off his glasses and said with a smile.

Shen Yangbing suddenly realized:

"I see. Consultant Li, you are really kind-hearted!"

As he spoke, he gave a thumbs up.

The middle-aged man next to him also showed a look of admiration when he saw this.

"Don't praise me too much. If something like this happens, anyone would lend a hand." Li Mu waved his hand.

……

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, they went into the TV station.

The live broadcast of the Spring Festival Gala has not yet begun.

Li Mu took Wang Ya to sit in the lounge backstage.

Shen Yangbing accompanied him.

The middle-aged man just now, the TV station manager Du Changshan, introduced himself and then left quickly without further ado.

Chatting and chatting.

The topic naturally turned to movies.

Although sensitive content cannot be filmed.

But that doesn't mean that good movies can't be made in this way.

Shen Yangbing said:

"I think we can focus more on the general public rather than just a certain group of people..."

He likes "Awakening Age" very much.

However, in the current social environment.

The pressure of making a film with cultural movement as the main theme is quite huge.

"I don't think so. We should seek truth from facts. Different historical positions lead to different historical roles." Li Mu said with a smile.

But he can say that.

Shen Yangbing didn't dare to think so.

Just when he was about to make some rebuttal.

suddenly.

There were two knocks on the door outside.

Hear sounds.

He quickly stopped talking.

After all, what they just said, if heard by people outside, would not be a crime, but it would be a bit over the line.

"Please come in." Li Mu said.

The voice just fell.

The TV station director Du Changshan returned and reported:
"Advisor Li, Leader Shen, and four leaders from the National Academy of Sciences, the Fourth Ministry of Machine Building, the Education Committee, and the Foreign Trade Committee are here."

"You're here so early?" Shen Yangbing was a little surprised.

But after seeing Li Muhou next to him.

He immediately realized that everyone probably knew that Li Mu was going to be at the Spring Festival Gala, so they came here early.

When Li Mu heard Guo Mo and others were coming over, he stood up and said:
"Leader Shen, let's go out and greet them."

Just finished saying this.

Leader Qiu's loud laughter came from outside, saying:
"Why should I be so polite? We are old acquaintances!"

The words fell.

Leader Qiu, Guo Mo, Dong Huaxing and He Baiyi came together.

Thus, there were five leaders of the Xia State's organs sitting in this small lounge.

If you don’t know, you might think that some important meeting is being held.

Li Mu smiled and said:

"I didn't expect that all the leaders would come to participate in the Spring Festival Gala."

"Of course we have to come. This is the first Spring Festival Gala, and it is also a time to send blessings to people across the country," said Leader Qiu.

Dong Huaxing on the side grinned and said:

"That's right. Our Foreign Trade Committee has been preparing for this day for a long time!"

"From what you said, are you going to say something on the Spring Festival Gala?" Li Mu understood immediately.

Hearing this, Guo Mo nodded and said:

"This year, our country's economy and society have made great progress."

“Now we have reached a cooperation with Big Brother.”

"The country is developing rapidly, so the higher-ups wanted to have the best-performing departments make a report."

The first Spring Festival Gala was still in the form of live broadcast.

It is itself a way to convey the voice of Xiaguo to the world.

They will use their achievements to prove that the path the country is taking is correct.

At the same time, we also hope to inspire the people of our country and the world who are on this path to bravely blaze a trail forward.

"It's a good idea, but it would be a bit lengthy for several leaders to report one by one, right?" Li Mu said.

He approved of the method.

It is indeed conducive to enhancing national cohesion when people know the country's development situation.

Leader Qiu smiled and said:
"Of course we didn't go."

"Who is that?" Li Mu was puzzled, and then joked, "It can't be me."

It’s a pity that after this joke was told.

No one laughed.

He was shocked:

"Is it really me? Leader Shen, you didn't notify me!"

"Advisor Li, this is not my fault. I sent people to your house many times, but I didn't even see you in person. I could only ask Secretary Guan to convey your message." Shen Yangbing said innocently.

Hearing this, Li Mu fell into deep thought and said:
"Is that right?"

Seems to be……

It seemed as if he remembered that five or six days ago, when Li Mu was studying the thermal protection layer of the D bomb, Guan Jianmin did talk to him about it.

But he was so absorbed in his research at the time that he didn't take it to heart at all.

And then I forgot about it.

……

The first Spring Festival Gala officially opened with loud drums and gongs.

The nearly 600-square-meter studio was filled with representatives from all walks of life.

As the semiconductor camera slowly turned, everyone sat upright, fearing that any accident might occur in front of the camera.

The live broadcast method means that at this time, their every move is being watched by people all over the country.

Even senior leaders such as Qiu and He Baiyi.

Now I am so nervous that my body is slightly tense.

But after seeing Li Mu's appearance.

They couldn't help but laugh again.

The party provided fruit to every guest.

But because of image concerns, no one reached out to take it.

But Li Mu enjoyed the meal very much.

Even when the camera lens was pointed at his face, he didn't mind at all.

He even wanted to give an apple to Dong Huaxing next to him.

The latter naturally doesn't want it.

——In front of the whole nation, he, a leader of the Foreign Trade Commission, was gnawing on an apple?
It doesn't feel right at all!
……

In front of a semiconductor TV.

With the countdown.

Scenes from the Spring Festival Gala began to appear on the screen.

Amid the stirring national anthem, the male and female hosts announced the opening of the 1st Spring Festival Gala in their emotional voices.

There are many programs.

There are crosstalk and sketches.

There are also singing, dancing and opera.

A hundred flowers bloomed, and every audience watching in front of the TV was dazzled.

Yes, every group.

There is very little entertainment in this era.

In the past, during the Spring Festival, people would just set off firecrackers and have a meal together at home.

But I know that the TV station will broadcast the Spring Festival Gala.

After dinner, everyone waits to watch TV.

Don't worry if you don't have a TV.

If a family has one, dozens or even hundreds of neighbors will come over to watch.

In some villages, it is not uncommon to see hundreds of people gathered around a TV.

Everyone watched with great interest.

The screen would occasionally cut to the audience's reactions, which made everyone feel a little dissatisfied.

After all, what's so good about a group of leaders with stern faces?

But this idea quickly changed.

Because they saw Li Mu.

……

In front of the TV in the hospital.

The doctor, who had just finished his last operation, heard the nurse exclaim:
"Look, it's Consultant Li!"

This sentence instantly attracted everyone's attention.

The doctor, who was about to go home after the operation, stopped and went to the TV.

When he saw Li Mu's figure on the TV screen, his eyes were filled with deep admiration.

But soon.

Amidst this reverence, there was also a hint of astonishment.

Not just him.

Other people around, including audiences across the country who are watching the Spring Festival Gala at this time.

I couldn't help but be stunned.

——They actually saw Li Mu on TV peeling and eating a banana without any scruples!
Amid the audience who sat upright and dared not move an inch, this performance was truly hilarious.

And the TV station also gave a full 5 seconds of separate footage.

Millions of people across the country saw Li Mu eating a banana at the same time.

The doctor couldn't help but sigh:

"Advisor Li really doesn't put on airs at all!"

Logically speaking, as a famous scientist.

On this occasion again.

No matter what, you have to pay attention to your image.

"I think it's great. The Spring Festival Gala is about having fun and relaxing. Consultant Li is also a human being and he needs to rest!" said a nurse.

Hearing this, everyone around couldn't help but nod in approval.

Looking back at Li Mu's achievements over the past year, it would have been impossible without painstaking research.

It’s the New Year, what’s wrong with relaxing a little?

But soon.

As an apple drew a perfect parabola in the air, it fell into the hands of an old man in blue work clothes with a confused look in his eyes.

They found that they had underestimated Li Mu's outrageous sense of relaxation.

The director in the background made a sharp explosion:

"Cut the shot, cut the shot quickly!"

……

The show is gradually coming to an end.

The male and female hosts came on stage again and invited the leaders sitting below to speak and send blessings to the people of the whole country.

And at the very end.

Li Mu was finally invited to go on stage.

But just when he was about to speak.

The female host motioned for him to wait a moment.

Then the male host said in a loud voice:

"In addition to Consultant Li, we have also specially invited our superiors to give heartfelt advice to the people of the country during this family reunion!"

As his voice fell.

The camera cuts to the entrance of the gate.

A tall and strong figure in a grey Zhongshan suit slowly approached from a distance.

see him.

All the audience at the scene, and even those watching on TV, could not help but stand up from their seats in excitement:

"It's the superior leader!"

"Hello, superiors!"

"Long live the superiors!"

……

Cheers filled the sky.

Looking at the figure walking slowly towards him.

Li Mu's heart couldn't help but surge with emotion.

After a long time.

The superior leader then stepped out from the audience that was enthusiastically surrounding him, came to his side, and extended his hand to him kindly.

Li Mu hurriedly shook hands with him respectfully.

"You've done a great job this year, you deserve a praise!" the superior praised.

Hearing this, Li Mu said modestly:

"We must continue to work hard to better serve the people."

"That's right. Technology is not something that should be high and mighty. Ultimately, it should serve the people!" the superior leader agreed.

The conversation between the two was broadcast on television and spread throughout the country of Xia.
