The Red Era, the Opening University Speech

Chapter 496 A 500W Knife
OK!

He actually spoke behind his back.

He hurried after it, his ears pricked up.

Anders said:

"Diplomat Qiao, I want to know when the Xia Kingdom's Star Awards will be presented, and whether we can invite foreign friends to attend."

"I have many friends who like Xiaguo."

"I believe that after seeing how you have made the great leap from ignorance to fame in just a hundred years, they will definitely have a different view of your country."

Instead of rushing to address the issue, he tried to use moral blackmail.

And this move, for Qiao Guanghua.

It really works.

"Of course we can invite them. We welcome scientists from any country in the world to attend the event." Qiao Guanghua said with a smile.

Xia Guo organized the Star Awards in order to expand its influence and spread the news.

Now that Emperor M has come in person, they are so happy that they can’t contain themselves.

"That's great, thank you!" Anders said contentedly.

With this promise, this trip was not in vain and I was able to complete the mission.

Yakov looked at the two people talking and laughing, thoughtfully.

……

Big Brother Embassy.

After coming back.

Yakov immediately went to find old Ivan and told him what had happened in the Diplomatic Committee.

After hearing this, the latter couldn't help but fall into a long silence.

All signs seem to indicate that the Xia Kingdom intends to move closer to Emperor M.

This is understandable.

After all, now that they are gradually surpassing Emperor M, it is more beneficial for Xia Kingdom to be on good terms with Emperor M.

But he had never worried about anything like this happening before.

——The prejudices of the camps, the hatred left over from the wars, and the ambition of Emperor M to covet the Xia Kingdom.

All these blocked them, making it almost impossible for the two to cooperate.

But now, they have actually started to contact each other.

"Professor Ivan, do you think we should send another secret report to the country and ask them to relax some of the conditions?" Yakov said.

Hearing this, Old Ivan shook his head and said:
"What we are giving now is almost twice as much as the initial amount!"

"Xia Country still doesn't accept it, or it plans to completely turn to Emperor M!"

"Or they are planning to let us compete and wait for the price to rise!"

He has a very keen eye.

The results of the analysis also made Yakov suddenly realize.

Yes, if they compete with Emperor M, then Xia Kingdom will undoubtedly be able to gain greater benefits.

"But aren't they afraid of going too far and offending us all?" Yakov said angrily.

Old Ivan said:

"It's a little possible, but not much."

"After all, there is no way we can give up the technology of mechanical dogs and space-based kinetic weapons."

"You keep in touch here. I will go back to China and talk to the higher-ups. Ask them to give us something that Xia Country cannot give us."

After saying this, he didn't delay and immediately asked someone to clean up.

Yakov, who was reassured by old Ivan, was not idle either. He immediately went to the Beijing Institute of Technology for a stroll.

Although we haven't seen each other for more than half a month.

But don’t be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the eventuality.

Moreover, experts and professors from Emperor M have also been hanging around Beijing Institute of Technology recently.

If they were allowed to meet Li Mu on their own first, Yakov would probably be so angry that he would fume.

……

Li Mu spent the next week in the new research base.

This morning.

He was checking the accuracy of an engine fan blade with Huang Qian and others.

Tang Yanjie suddenly walked in from outside.

Find him.

Li Mu hurriedly hid inside.

After all, he had agreed to go back and rest for half a day after dinner, but he didn't delay at all and ran here without stopping.

Tang Yanjie held his forehead helplessly and said:
"I've seen it all, why are you hiding?"

"I got a call from above, saying that they are planning to arrange a press conference to publicize which scientists will be participating in the selection of the Star Awards."

"You were called over there to attend. What do you think?"

After he finished speaking.

Li Mu said without even thinking: "Let's go."

"Okay, then I'll go back and ask for two days off for you." Tang Yanjie nodded and said.

Hearing this, Li Mu smiled bitterly and said:

"It doesn't have to take so long. It's just a press conference. Even if you add in my rest time, a day is more than enough."

……

Just as Li Mu briefly gave some instructions on what to pay attention to in the follow-up research and left the research base.

Teams of scientists from various countries participating in the Star Award also launched academic exchange activities at the call of the Xia country officials.

The venues are naturally also located in major universities in Kyoto.

At first, these foreign experts were a little hesitant and did not participate immediately.

After all, participating in the Star Award is one thing, and conducting academic exchanges with Xia Guo is another.

Moreover, considering the current level of technological development in Xia Country, there aren't many things that can interest them.

However, this situation soon changed.

……

Beijing Institute of Technology.

The school gate was full of cars, and expert groups from various countries walked into the school past a banner that read "Welcome Scientists from All Over the World."

Reporters from People's Daily, Guangmin Daily, Xinmin Daily and other newspapers stood at the door, and their cameras made the sound of "clicking" from time to time.

Qian Shuyan and the school’s leadership team were at the door to receive guests.

Looking at the bustling scene, everyone was so happy that they couldn't stop smiling.

While arranging students to bring people to the auditorium in an orderly manner, he said to Jiang Nanxiang and Lu Ping who had arrived early beside him:
"Thanks to your help, otherwise it would be difficult for us at Beijing Institute of Technology to run it ourselves during the winter vacation."

"Old Qian, don't be so ungrateful after getting the advantage." Jiang Nanxiang said unconvinced.

Given that the academic exchange activities held by Kyoto universities have not been effective.

Therefore, after research and discussion by the Education Committee, it was decided to concentrate its efforts and hold it in a university.

Qian Shuyan was at a loss whether to laugh or cry:
"Look at you, why are you in such a hurry? I am really grateful."

After hearing his words, Jiang Nanxiang's expression improved a lot.

No wonder he is.

Who told Qian Shuyan to show off in front of them when he has nothing to do?

While the two were talking.

A car suddenly approached slowly from a distance.

When they got closer, someone saw the license plate clearly and shouted:

"It's Consultant Li's car. Consultant Li is here!"

Hear this.

Everyone at the school gate immediately looked in the direction where the voice came from.

The foreign scholars who were about to enter the school couldn't help but stop and look at the car coming from the end of the road.

Reporters quickly picked up their cameras, ready to capture this precious historical scene.

Under the expectant gaze of everyone.

The car finally stopped.

The car door was opened from the inside.

A young man with a gentle temperament walked out of the car.

Qian Shuyan walked forward quickly and said in surprise:
"How did you come!"

He had not received any news that Li Mu would come.

"The Beijing Institute of Technology is holding a world academic exchange conference, how can I not come?" Li Mu said with a smile.

Hearing this, Qian Shuyan's face was full of smiles.

Just when he was about to continue exchanging pleasantries.

An old foreign professor with blond hair, blue eyes and a high nose bridge suddenly came over.

I couldn't wait for the translator next to me to speak.

He then said in English:

"You must be Consultant Li Mu, I've heard of you for a long time!"

"Hello, who are you?" Li Mu asked back in English.

The old foreign professor stretched out his hand and said:
"I am Wernher von Braun."

"It turns out to be Professor Brown. Welcome to Xia Country." Li Mu shook hands with the other party politely.

This Braun is not simple.

Born in Sande, he was once the famous chief designer of the V2 rocket.

After the end of World War II, he and his design team were taken away by Emperor M.

His greatest achievement was when he was the commander-in-chief of NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center, he led the development of the Saturn V, which enabled humans to successfully achieve the feat of landing on the moon.

Of course, that was 6 years later, which is still early than now.

Just as Li Mu and Brown were talking.

Scholars from other countries also swarmed over, looking at him curiously with their blue and green eyes.

A professor in his forties, dressed in a suit and leather shoes, stepped forward and said:

"Hello, Consultant Li Mu, my name is Richard Feynman, nice to meet you."

"Professor Feynman, I'm glad to meet you too." Li Mu said with a little surprise.

Perhaps noticing the change in his eyes, Feynman said:
"You seem surprised to see me?"

"I just didn't expect you to come here. After all, the relationship between our two countries is not so harmonious now." Li Mu said.

He was indeed somewhat surprised that Richard Feynman arrived.

Don't look at the fact that the other person is only in his forties.

But he is already a member of the National Academy of Sciences of Emperor M. Logically speaking, Emperor M should not dare to let him go so easily.

He was also the winner of the 65 Nobel Prize in Physics.

"I wanted to come here on my own. I am very curious about why Xia Country could develop such powerful computer technology in such a short period of time." Feynman said.

After saying that, Li Mu did not answer.

He added:
"But after seeing Consultant Li Mu, I understand that with a talented young scholar like you, it is only a matter of time before Xia Country's science and technology flourishes."

Hear his words.

Professors from other countries around them couldn't help but nod in agreement.

After all, Li Mu's age is really amazing.

There are many geniuses in the world who became famous at a young age.

For example, Richard Feynman was admitted to the University of Michigan at the age of 17, became a Putnam Fellow at the age of 21, and participated in the world-renowned "Manhattan Project" at the age of 24...

But in front of Li Mu.

Such a genius also seems to be overshadowed.

"I am just one of the thousands of ordinary scientific researchers in Xia Country." Li Mu said with a smile.

Feynman's eyes moved slightly when he heard this.

But just when he was about to say something.

The other foreign professors standing nearby couldn't wait to push him aside.

What happened to genius?

Anyone who can stand here must have been a genius when he was young.

……

After introductions, Li Mu got to know many world-renowned scholars.

Except Braun and Feynman.

There are also Werner Heisenberg, the Nobel Prize winner in physics in 32, Linus Pauling, the Nobel Prize winner in chemistry in 54, Francis Crick, the Nobel Prize winner in physiology in 62, and so on.

Among them are experts in the aerospace field and professors of computer science.

But there are also a large number of scholars outside of this.

For example, Francis Crick studied molecular biology.

This made him very curious.

After all, although the Star Award is a worldwide award, as a newly established award, its value is almost zero.

For these foreign scientists.

The only value is probably the maximum bonus of 1 US dollars.

But this amount of money is nothing to these famous scholars.

……

While chatting, everyone came to the auditorium of Beijing Institute of Technology.

After several renovations.

This place is no longer as shabby as it was when Li Mu first came here. Not only has it been expanded almost twice as much, but the tables and chairs have all been replaced with pear wood.

The floor was also replaced with wooden flooring, which was a complete upgrade.

After everyone took their seats.

The academic exchange meeting will officially begin soon.

However, foreign scholars were obviously more interested in Li Mu, and basically all surrounded him.

Of course, it’s similar in China.

And in the process of conversation.

Li Mu also understood why they were so interested in him.

Richard Feynman said:

"After fully understanding the software engineering you proposed, I believe it will definitely be an achievement that will influence the development of science in the world."

“If software engineering is used, develop tools to simulate the behavior of quantum systems.”

"Then it will undoubtedly greatly shorten the time it takes researchers to predict and analyze quantum phenomena, and solve a large number of computational problems..."

He talked incessantly about his understanding of software engineering.

In addition, there is Francis Crick, who also said:
“I envisioned that using algorithms and software engineering to tackle the problem of genome assembly and analysis could absolutely advance research in molecular biology.”

After the two of them spoke.

More scholars have also expressed their own opinions.

Physics, chemistry, biology, astronomy...

Scholars one after another continue to express their views on the application of software engineering.

As scholars standing at the forefront of scientific research in the world, they are well-deserved leaders in both ability and vision.

Their words also answered the doubts that Li Mu had before.

at the end.

Richard Feynman said with regret:
"But unfortunately, such a powerful tool that can promote the development of world science is now only in the hands of Xiaguo."

What he said was indeed true.

After all, although Xiaguo did not keep J language and J++ strictly confidential to the outside world.

But even if you learn these two computer languages.

They still have to face the biggest problem, which is insufficient computing power of computers.

The Type 01 computer sold publicly by Xia Guo has a computing power of up to 100 million times per second.

However, this amount of computing power cannot meet the research needs of software engineering.

Not only is sales limited, but the price is also extremely high.

Li Mu smiled and said:

"Xiaguo is happy to share this technology with the world and conduct joint research without violating the premise of peaceful coexistence."

"Otherwise we wouldn't have sold the Model 01 computer."

"Computers that cost tens of millions of dollars have computing power only half of this, but the price is more than ten times that of this. Isn't this our sincerity?"

Upon hearing this, scholars from surrounding countries were stunned.

Dozens of times?
"You mean, the price of a Type 01 computer is only $1 million?" Feynman asked in surprise.

Li Mu asked doubtfully: "What else?"

"We sell one for 500 million dollars." Feynman gritted his teeth.

Not just him.

Many scholars around were also shocked.

100wM knife.

Then those who used all kinds of connections to find someone and spent 500 million dollars to buy it, aren’t they being wronged?
Seeing their dumbfounded expressions, Li Mu almost couldn't help laughing out loud.

As for the sales of the Type 01 computer, he was only concerned about the sales volume, but he didn't know much about it.

I didn't expect that the Japanese would be so ruthless when it comes to betraying their own people.

They only sold it for $100 million each, but the other party sold it for five times the price.

"A machine with a price of 500wM is indeed very expensive. If you haven't bought it yet, I suggest you not to. After all, it is indeed difficult to meet the research needs of software engineering." Li Mu said.

Feynman angrily said:

"I just bought one myself last week at a huge expense out of my own pocket."

His expression made people around him laugh.

After all, most people buy them from research institutes, and it is rare to see people paying out of their own pockets.

"Then I suggest you sell it now, because we should be launching the Type 02 computer soon." Li Mu said with a smile.

He also didn't expect Feynman to be so unlucky.

However, the other party's research on quantum electrodynamics can indeed save a lot of effort with the help of advanced computers.

It's just that my luck is really bad.

Feynman's original anger disappeared all of a sudden, and he said in surprise:

"What? The Model 02 computer is going to be released! How many times per second can it calculate?"

Compared to the financial loss, he cared more about research.

The scholars from various countries around him also looked at Li Mu with bright eyes and full of expectation.

More advanced computers mean more powerful computing power.

This will be of great help in promoting their respective research!
"1000w times per second." Li Mu said slowly.

Hearing this, all the foreign scholars in the auditorium couldn't help but get excited.

1000w times per second, a full 10-fold improvement!

Feynman exclaimed:
"This is simply unbelievable. I am really curious about how your country's scientific researchers accomplished this. You have to know that five years ago, your country didn't even have computers!"

Don't say it's him.

The others were also filled with shock and disbelief.

If it's 100 million times per second, they can still accept it.

After all, although there is a lead, it is not very exaggerated.

But 1000 million times per second, I'm afraid that Emperor M and the Red Alliance may not have the technology to do this.

No, don't be afraid, there just isn't one.

Otherwise, according to the habits of those merchants, they would have marked the price long ago and let them pay.

"Well, of course, it's all due to the unremitting efforts of our country's scientific researchers." Li Mu said with a smile.

Hearing this, Feynman was certainly not happy.

But on second thought, this issue is indeed quite sensitive.

It might even be related to the mysterious River Map. It was normal for Li Mu not to say anything, so he did not continue to ask.

So he turned to discuss with Li Mu the impact of computer computing power on software engineering.

The same is true for other foreign scholars.

Although they were curious, how Xia Guo developed a computer that could run at 1000 million times per second was not particularly important to them.

What is important is how software engineering will change after computing power increases 10 times, and what impact it will have on their research field.

Li Mu's answer to this was also very simple. He said:
"The improvement of computer computing power will enable software engineering to have more complex functions and more powerful computing and analysis capabilities."

"Take Professor Crick's research on molecular biology as an example."

"We can certainly develop tools to compare DNA, RNA and protein sequences and identify similarities and functions..."

……

Listening to Li Mu talking.

All the foreign scholars present could not help but fall into a long silence.

Because they suddenly realized a problem.

Li Mu knows so much.

Does it mean that Xia State has already started researching it?

if it is like this.

Even though Xia State is indeed far behind their respective countries in terms of technology as a whole.

But as long as they are given some time, they will be able to catch up or even surpass others.

……

After the academic exchange meeting.

Scholars from all over the world quickly reported the news back to their countries.

When I learned that Xia Country already had a computer with a computing power of 1000w times per second.

Except Emperor M and Big Brother.

Most countries are reluctant to believe it.

For example, the great Times claimed:

"Xia Country definitely cannot possibly have such advanced computers. This is undoubtedly a way for them to deceive themselves!"

However, these remarks were quickly refuted by scholars from various countries.

In addition, Emperor M and the Red Alliance did not say a word, which further confirmed the fact that the computer's computing power reached 1000 million times per second.

After all, if Xia Guo really doesn’t have it.

Neither country would give up this title that could increase their prestige to Xia.

As a result, all of a sudden, orders from various countries for Type 02 computers poured into the Foreign Trade Committee like snowflakes.

The production line of Type 02 computers started production 24 hours a day to meet the needs of countries around the world.

This made Emperor M and Big Brother extremely envious.

After all, Xiaguo's Type 02 computer costs 500 million US dollars each.

Although they don't know how much the cost is, they think they can make at least half of it.

This buying frenzy from countries around the world brought in orders for at least 1000 computers.

In other words, Xia Guo can earn at least 25 billion US dollars from this transaction.

Although not all of this money will reach Xia Guo’s hands immediately.

But even if it is only one-tenth, it will be of great help to the economic and social development of Xia State.

……

After 2 days.

Jointly organized by the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Foreign Affairs Council.

Xia Guo held a press conference for the first Star Awards in the Great Hall of the People.

As a representative, Li Mu announced the list of scientists from various countries who were selected for this year's Star Award.

But relative to this.

Other countries are clearly more interested in him.

After the press conference.

He was cordially invited to go abroad to participate in academic exchange activities.

Of course he wouldn't agree to this.

But he didn't completely refuse.

After all, this is also a rare opportunity to communicate openly with other countries.

So at his suggestion, after repeated discussions, the higher-ups gave this opportunity to Wang Shoujue, deputy director of the Semiconductor Research Institute.

At first, scholars from various countries were a little dissatisfied, thinking that the Xia Kingdom just sent someone to fool them.

However, after seeing Wang Shoujue's software engineering skills, he was quickly impressed.
