The Red Era, the Opening University Speech

Chapter 263 Wu Youxiang's eyes popped out

"Advisor Li, my name is He Zhenhua. I'm at the bottom of the special building now. Can the guard let me in?" He Zhenhua's voice came from the other side.

I guess the other party returned to the guesthouse and rushed over immediately after hearing the call from the front desk staff.

Li Mu asked him to hand the phone to the guard.

Only after getting his guarantee did the guards let He Zhenhua go.

Not long after, there was a knock on the door of the house, making two soft "dong dong" sounds.

Walk forward and open the door.

He Zhenhua was followed by two guards. When they saw him, they quickly greeted him, "Advisor Li, it's me."

"Mr. Xiao He, please come in." Li Mu nodded, then extended his hand to invite him into the house.

When the two guards saw that Li Mu and He Zhenhua knew each other, they were completely relieved and turned to leave.

He Zhenhua is a Hong Kong native after all, and his speech and behavior are very different from those in the mainland. He came in a hurry and did not bring any entourage with him. If it were not for his certificate from the Foreign Trade Commission, he would not even have the chance to make a phone call and would have been turned down on the spot.

After the two guards left, He Zhenhua couldn't help but sigh, "I didn't expect that the security at your place, Consultant Li, was so tight. If I had known, I would have brought the staff of the Foreign Trade Committee with me. Sorry to bother you."

"It's no use bringing them here. They still need to be checked." Li Mu shook his head slightly without comment.

With the security strength of the special building, any unfamiliar face will be strictly checked, no matter who brought it.

He Zhenhua was stunned when he heard this, and did not continue the conversation on this topic. Instead, he said, "By the way, I haven't congratulated you, Consultant Li, for winning the only first prize of the National Highest Science and Technology Progress Award. This is unprecedented!"

He learned that when the first National Highest Science and Technology Progress Award was held, the first prize winners were all the top scientists in Xia Country.

The fact that Li Mu was able to win this award shows that his achievements are no less than those of veteran scientists.

Moreover, he won the award when he was only 23 years old. In just a few years, he accomplished what others could not accomplish in decades. It is truly amazing.

"It was just luck. If Big Brother hadn't withdrawn a lot of technological aid, I might not have won the first prize." Li Mu shook his head.

He didn't want to talk more about this matter. He stood up and made a cup of tea for He Zhenhua, and asked, "Last time you told me that you were going to start a home appliance brand in Hong Kong. How is it going?"

"Not bad. We already have a very good reputation in Hong Kong and are preparing to expand overseas markets. We are already discussing cooperation with some foreign distributors." He Zhenhua said with a smile.

When it comes to building a brand, you can’t just hand things over to foreigners and take the money as you did in the past. You need to manage it slowly.

Although they have some advantages in some home appliances, it is still quite difficult for them to use these advantages to compete with foreign giants.

What's more, apart from home appliances such as air fryers, He Zhenhua's home appliance brand actually has no technological advantages at all and is a drag.

Saying "well done" is just a forced way of saving face.

Li Mu naturally understood this, but did not expose it. Instead, he said, "It seems that Mr. Xiao He has a good vision, but I have a question. Do you think your current home appliances are enough to support a brand?"

"You mean?" He Zhenhua was stunned for a moment, then reacted, his eyes suddenly turned cold, and asked: "Are you planning to expand the home appliance market?"

"But, but we don't have much advantage in competing with those old-fashioned home appliance giants."

The moment he reacted, he immediately began to deduce the possibilities of what Li Mu said.

Although air fryers and hot pot machines can allow them to occupy a certain share in the global home appliance market, they are still far from becoming giants.

But if it comes to independent research and development, not only the Ho family, but even Hong Kong does not have this technology.

Unless... Xia Guo helps.

Li Mu looked at the look in He Zhenhua's eyes and nodded slightly, saying, "Yes, I plan to rely on my technological advantages to develop a series of home appliances and then put them on the market."

"Although brand-new products can make money, there aren't that many new home appliances. If we want to continue to grow, we have to compete with other companies."

"I need you to do an overall survey of the global market and then report the situation to me. Our country's position in the international arena is very unfavorable right now. Although the sales are completed through you, there is no guarantee that there will not be any major problems, so you need to have a comprehensive plan."

"You're right!" He Zhenhua nodded vigorously and said, "Leave it all to me. I promise to investigate it thoroughly for you."

After saying this, he could hardly contain himself for a moment and immediately wanted to return to Hong Kong to start investigating.

Who wouldn’t be envious of the global market?

Hong Kong is such a small place, even if the He family occupies all of it, the profit will not be that high.

But when it comes to competing with foreign home appliance giants, they have almost no competitiveness except for their advantages in home appliances developed by Li Mu.

If you want to snatch meat from other people's mouths, you must have some real stuff.

Seeing He Zhenhua leave excitedly, Li Mu did not stay long and quickly returned to the study to continue memorizing the information.

After reading the information about the D missile launcher, he turned his attention to home appliances.

Refrigerators, air conditioners, washing machines... Although these home appliances were invented very early, Xia State was still able to seize the market thanks to its technological advantages in semiconductors.

“But we can’t grab too much. We have to at least leave some soup for them.” Li Mu thought to himself.

In this market, it is not the case that whoever has the best products can make money. There are too many tricks involved.

Of course, he had no interest in delving into this.

However, if He Zhenhua wants to make his home appliance brand a success, it must not stand out in the forest and needs a temporary ally.

The next moment, a name popped up in his mind: "Taigu Group?"

In Daying, Taigu's strength is still quite good. It is very qualified as a shade tree. The only thing to worry about is whether the other party is willing to change from the original OEM sales to cooperative sales.

Rubbing his brows, Li Mu spent an hour writing a simple plan, then called Guan Jianmin and asked him to send it to the Foreign Trade Committee for Dong Huaxing's advice and reference.

Even if He Zhenhua wants to build a brand and needs some factories as a cover, the main products must still be produced in mainland China.

This is a red line. No matter how much money you make, it is not as important as the factory. It is the foundation of national industrial development!

……

The next day, Li Mu got up yawning.

After washing up and exercising, I went to the semiconductor research center to start a day of research work.

When I arrived at the supercomputing network group and just entered the laboratory, I saw Yang Tianxing, Zhou Xiling and Su Dongzhuang, who were already busy working inside.

"You're here quite early." He smiled and walked over to greet me, saying, "If you have any questions, feel free to come to me. If I'm not here, you can go to Director Wang."

The three heard the voice, turned around at the same time, and greeted in unison: "Good morning, Consultant Li!" "Don't be so nervous, just continue working. You just got here, so there's no need to be too anxious. Just get familiar with the place first." Li Mu smiled and instructed.

Yang Tianxing said: "Advisor Li, don't worry, we will never let you down."

"Your spirit is good, but you can't just talk without practice. I am very optimistic about you." Li Mu encouraged, which made the three of them more excited.

……

After a brief exchange, Li Mu quickly continued his research and development work.

There were no major problems in the network group. He came here mainly to see Yang Tianxing and others, and after seeing them, he went to other groups.

In terms of processors, after shifting the goal to parallel computing, with the research foundation of the first generation of supercomputers, progress became much smoother.

If we continue at this pace, even if the second-generation supercomputers cannot be used, the third-generation supercomputers will definitely be able to use heterogeneous parallel computing.

Li Mu and Professor Wen discussed the future development direction of heterogeneous parallel computing. The latter still had some doubts about heterogeneous parallel computing replacing homogeneous parallel computing.

This is not surprising. After all, the current level of development of their integrated circuits is far from reaching the computing power limit of homogeneous parallel computing.

Heterogeneous parallel computing can improve computing efficiency, reduce energy consumption and expand computing scale.

But the problems are also obvious, programming dross, scheduling and optimization difficulties, data transmission and synchronization also have technical challenges.

To be honest, Professor Wen feels that even after another ten years, isomorphic parallel processing may not become obsolete.

Li Mu smiled and said, "Although it seems that spending energy on researching heterogeneous parallel computing is not worth the effort now, as computing power continues to improve, heterogeneous parallel computing will become the best choice."

"By starting research now, those who come later can just build on what's already been built, without having to make major innovations in technology."

"I didn't expect that Consultant Li is not only extremely talented, but also has such a long-term vision!" Professor Wen was shocked after hearing this.

It’s exciting to think about letting later generations do research based on the framework they have established.

……

The two did not chat for too long, and Li Mu soon went to the storage system development team and the software and algorithm optimization team.

Good progress has been made in the research of dynamic random access memory, but there are still some problems that need to be solved.

- Data retention time is short, needs to be refreshed regularly, is sensitive to noise and electromagnetic interference, has high leakage power consumption and data recovery after power failure. If these difficulties are not overcome, even if dynamic random access memory is managed to be developed, it will not be able to be applied to the second-generation supercomputers.

In the laboratory, facing the expectant eyes of Professor Bai, the team leader, and a group of experts and professors, Li Mu thought for a moment and said:
"The short data retention time can actually be solved by performing refresh operations regularly to ensure that the charge in the capacitor remains at a detectable level."

"To solve the interference problem, we need to go a step further in circuit design and material selection to find a more appropriate approach."

"As for high leakage power consumption and data recovery after power outages, we need to establish a comprehensive data backup and recovery mechanism. You can discuss this with the software and algorithm optimization team and develop a dedicated software or even hardware to solve this problem."

He provided everyone with a general idea, but did not give a more detailed solution.

But this is enough. There are basically no fools among the experts and professors who can do research in the Semiconductor Research Institute. They understand things quickly and start conducting experiments immediately.

……

The day passes by in a busy manner.

After finishing his dinner in the cafeteria, Li Mu thought for a while, then found Wu Youxiang and took the initiative to ask for two days off.

Hearing that he not only wanted to take leave, but also for two days, the latter was so shocked that his eyes almost popped out and asked, "Are you sure you said it right, two days?"

"That's right. I'm in the project team every day. Not only is everyone under a lot of pressure, but they also tend to ask me when they have problems. This is not a good thing for research," Li Mu explained.

Of course, the real reason was not this, but that he had to go back and speed up the memorization of information about the D-missile launcher overnight.

Even though Ask had to go back after leaving, what if something unexpected happened?

Connecticut, he had never heard of this place. What if it was similar to Ferreroda where Ask went first? There was only one WIFI nearby. He couldn't possibly go there to study life genes.

This thing will be useful in future generations, but it is of little use now.

Not only are the basic conditions for the experiment not available, even if there are some results, it will be difficult to provide direct help to the country. It may even be worse than developing more semiconductor products to earn foreign exchange.

After listening to Li Mu's reasons, Wu Youhao touched his chin and thought it made sense. He readily approved the leave and even wanted to let him rest for a few more days.

It would be best if he could follow this standard in the future, then not only the upper body but also he could sleep well.

I'm already old, and I still have to wander around the laboratory building with a flashlight late at night looking for people every day. It's a bit too much!
……

After asking for leave, Li Mu drove back home quickly.

He put down his briefcase, went straight to the study, opened the chat page, and began to memorize and organize the information.

Just when he was concentrating on organizing his work, a message alert sound suddenly rang in his mind.

Ask: "Lee, I'm leaving tomorrow."

Looking at this message, Li Mu raised his eyebrows slightly, feeling that things were not simple.

This sentence sounds a bit sad.

"What's wrong? Are you reluctant to leave Jianqiao?" Li Mu asked.

Ask: "Jianqiao is indeed a good university. I have learned a lot from the professors here, but I am not reluctant to leave."

"Actually... I sent her a message, but she didn't reply. Do you think she was angry?"

I'm coming.

Li Mu slapped his head and knew that this disaster would happen.

If Ask wants to return to Emperor M, he will definitely have to contact that little girl. This is something that cannot be avoided.

"Did she reply to your message? You knew she was angry. Didn't she say she was too busy to reply? Besides, he is an international student. Maybe he has returned to his country and hasn't come back yet." Li Muxian made up an excuse to deal with it.

The little rich lady is awesome, hurry up and get Ask!

This reason made Ask feel much better. He said, "It is possible. But I have to say first that I have a flight tomorrow morning."

After saying that, he closed the chat page and fell asleep with a smile on his face.

"It's a pity that I can't add others to this chat page, otherwise if I add that rich little woman, maybe we could both have a baby." Li Mu sighed secretly in his heart.
