The Red Era, the Opening University Speech

Chapter 264 There is no skill, it’s all about emotion
The next day, early.

It was rare for Li Mu not to get up on time at 6 o'clock.

After knowing that Ask was leaving at dawn, he stayed up until 4 o'clock last night to organize the information about the D missile launcher.

Although it is not detailed enough, according to this information, Xiaguo was five or six years ahead of its big brother and it was easy for it to develop advanced anti-tank D-missile launchers.

As he put on his clothes while yawning, he looked at his watch and it was already half past ten.

After sleeping till now, my stomach is empty and I am so hungry.

I walked out of the bedroom and came to the kitchen. Just as I was about to eat a couple of bites before going out to eat, I saw a large bowl of noodles on the stove and a large bowl of egg soup on the coal stove next to it.

Smiling happily, he opened the lid of the coal stove, letting the fire burn more vigorously, heated the soup, and then poured it into the noodles.

I slurped down a large bowl of noodles, and my hunger was instantly relieved.

But this can only whet your appetite, and is far from filling you up.

After thinking about it, Li Mu packed up, put a scarf around his neck to cover his face, and then rode his bicycle out of the special building.

……

Beijing Institute of Technology.

Li Mu stopped his bicycle, greeted the security guard familiarly, and then pushed the bicycle inside.

He was wearing a scarf, so the old man couldn't even see him clearly, but his voice sounded familiar, so he didn't try to stop him.

Hurry to the canteen and finish your meal first.

At this time, there were not many students in the cafeteria, but Li Mu was not famous among the students, but throughout the country.

In addition, since he ate a lot, after he ordered three meals, he was recognized by the aunties and they surrounded him and greeted him warmly.

After finally finishing the task, he started to eat. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw two female college students walk in. They kept looking at him, which scared him so much that he quickly finished his meal and left.

He now understood the pain that Huang Xinhua, Wang Shoujue and others had gone through. This feeling of being recognized all the time wherever you go is indeed not a good one.

It has been more than half a month since he won the award, but it seems that everyone is still talking about it.

After all, the value of the National Highest Science and Technology Progress Award is already incredibly high, and he is the only winner, so it is normal for him to receive more attention.

"I hope it can end soon. I also want to go eat some luzhu hotpot." Li Mu sighed as he walked to the game R&D center building.

Counting the time, he hasn't been here for more than a month, and he doesn't know how Shen Jianxin and Zhang Kai are doing with the game.

The sales volume of "Sniper Sande" only reached 10 copies, which might be a big blow to them.

He needs more encouragement. These are the backbone of the future gaming industry and cannot be ignored.

……

When I walked into the building, the students who were patrolling around were gone, and only an old man was sitting at the door.

Seeing Li Mu with his face covered by a scarf, the old man narrowed his eyes slightly, then tapped the table lightly with his skinny fingers and said, "Register."

"okay."

Li Mu felt a little scared by the old man's eyes. The man who was sent by the school to guard the game R&D center building must be a tough guy who survived the battles.

He took off his scarf and fished his ID from his pocket.

Unexpectedly, before he took his hand out, he heard the old man suddenly let out a surprised "Huh~" and asked, "You, you are the inventor king?"

"It's me, sir. You know me." Li Mu handed over his ID with a respectful tone.

He always maintains the highest respect for the heroes who sacrificed their lives to defend the motherland.

The old man laughed and said, "I know, of course I don't know. It was written about in the newspapers every day some time ago. You are a great scientist. You are incredible. Our country has young people like you. There is hope for its rise!"

"I just did what I could. It's an exaggeration to say that I made the country strong by myself. You really overpraise me. Only the efforts of millions of Xia people can achieve this." Li Mu's face turned red because of the praise.

This made the old man burst into laughter. He enthusiastically pulled him to chat for a while, and took out half a bag of dried sweet potatoes from the small room behind him, handed it to him, and said:
"I made it myself. You scientists use your brains a lot, so you must get hungry quickly. You can eat some later, so don't despise me."

"Thank you, sir. How could I dislike it? This is the best affirmation for me." Li Mu took the dried sweet potatoes as if they were a treasure.

But he was a little confused. Why did the old man say that he could eat something later?
Before Li Mu could figure out what was going on, the old man knew that he had something to do and didn't keep him any longer. When he saw him accept the things, he waved his hand and told him to get busy.

Only then did he walk into the building.

As he walked up, he was still wondering, although it was still vacation, there shouldn't be no one in sight.

As a result, when I went upstairs, I suddenly heard a loud reading coming from the conference room:

"We should learn from Comrade Li Mu's spirit, but we should also learn from Comrade Li Mu's qualities!"

"Carry forward the spirit of not fearing hardship or fatigue, and always fighting on the front line!"

……

Li Mu, who was walking in the corridor, was so embarrassed when he heard these words that he almost turned around and left.

No, what are Shen Jianxin and his gang doing?

He could understand other places holding study sessions and discussion meetings, but why were they just joining in the fun? Were they not busy with their daily game development tasks?

You have to practice well.

Li Mu took a few steps forward and pushed open the door of the conference room.

The moment he entered, hundreds of pairs of eyes suddenly fell on him.

The originally lively scene suddenly became quiet.

Faced with the sudden arrival of this uninvited guest, everyone was stunned at first. When someone was about to open his mouth to scold him, they realized that Li Mu seemed a little familiar.

"Wrong way..." Li Mu hid his head in his scarf and was about to walk away carelessly when he suddenly heard someone in the crowd exclaim, "Advisor Li!"

This sentence was like a thunder, exploding in the entire conference room.

The students stood up excitedly, looked at Li Mu and said:
"Is it really Consultant Li?"

"It seems so, although she is wearing a scarf. But I have seen the photos, and they are exactly the same."

"Yes, it's Consultant Li. Look at the briefcase he's holding. It's exactly the same as the one in the newspaper."

"Advisor Li, hello Advisor Li!"

……

The moment the crowd realized Li Mu's identity, they rushed towards the door like a surging wave.

"Everyone, don't get excited. Sit in your seats and don't make a fuss!" Seeing this, Li Mu shouted quickly to control the situation.

If this is not handled properly, it may easily cause a stampede, and he would be committing a serious crime.

After hearing his voice, the students calmed down a little, but many people were still pushing forward.

Li Mu shouted several more times, and with the help of Shen Jianxin, Zhang Kai and others, the excited crowd gradually called for their seats.

Standing on the stage, he finally understood why the old man had just told him that he could eat some dried sweet potatoes later. It turned out that he wanted him to replenish his energy.

But he just came here to hang out!

"It's impossible to leave in this situation." Li Mu looked at the eyes of the audience looking at him and shook his head helplessly. He really didn't want to deal with this kind of situation! But he was forced to do this, and it would be unreasonable not to say a few words, and it would be unacceptable for these students to have such expectations of him.

He took a deep breath and quickly adjusted his state.

Li Mu laughed out loud: "I didn't expect everyone to be so enthusiastic. I feel embarrassed."

This sentence made the students below stunned, and then they smiled knowingly.

The originally tense atmosphere also eased a lot.

If it were just a title like the King of Invention or the Leader of Young Scientists, it would not be enough to make everyone so excited.

However, the identity of being the only winner of the first prize of the National Highest Science and Technology Progress Award is enough to make any Xia citizen stand in awe.

Coupled with Li Mu's youthful image, he has become a role model for every student.

A student boldly asked, "Counselor Li, why are you suddenly here at the study session? Did the school invite you?"

"Advisor Li, we all admire you so much. You have made so many achievements and promoted the development of science and technology in our country. You are a role model for all of us."

"That's right. We came to the game development center to learn about your deeds from Shen Jianxin and others. We didn't expect you to come in person. Can you share your learning experience with us?"

……

Some students spoke up, and Li Mu's attitude was very easy-going and friendly, which prompted everyone to ask for help.

Li Mu raised his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet.

Upon seeing this, the students almost instantly stopped talking and pricked up their ears, waiting for what he would say next.

"Actually, I came here by chance. I didn't expect to meet you all. But since my classmates are so enthusiastic, I'll say a few words." Li Mu smiled helplessly at first, and as soon as he finished speaking, applause broke out from the audience.

When the applause stopped, he continued:

"Let me first talk about the learning experience that everyone wants to hear about the most. To be honest, I don't have any experience in learning skills. I just study hard. My only ambition is to make the country stronger and the people happier."

"When I was very young, I heard from my elders about everything our country had experienced: invasion, famine, epidemics, war, a century of humiliation, a century of blood and tears."

"Since then, I have made up my mind to do something for the country..."

There’s no technique, it’s all emotion.

……

Beijing Institute of Technology, inside the dean’s office.

Behind his desk, Qian Shuyan was flipping through a booklet like a treasure. The booklet was full of photos and reports cut from newspapers.

The latest page is a photo of Li Mu and his superiors when he received the National Highest Science and Technology Progress Award.

"These are things that can be included in the school history!" Qian Shuyan's heart was filled with emotion as he stroked the photos and newspapers.

He had long predicted that Li Mu had a bright future and would become a world-famous scholar.

But I didn't expect that this day would come so quickly, and this achievement would be so amazing.

"It's a pity that Li Mu is too busy. I don't even have the chance to invite him to give a lecture at school." Qian Shuyan suddenly sighed and thought with some regret.

As Li Mu's alma mater, Beijing Institute of Technology is another focus of world attention besides himself.

If he could come back and give a lecture, Qian Shuyan estimated that the position of the science sanctuary of China Europe International Business School might be moved to make room for Beijing Institute of Technology.

However, although it was a pity, Qian Shuyan knew that it was right not to invite Li Mulai.

The time of a top scientist is extremely precious. Li Mu is now in his prime and full of creativity. He would scold himself if someone took up his time at this time.

Just as he was feeling emotional, suddenly, the office door was slammed open with a bang.

Professor Wang, the Dean of Academic Affairs, rushed in, and before he could catch his breath, he hurriedly said, "Dean, Li Mu is here!"

"what?"

Upon hearing the news, Qian Shuyan suddenly stood up from his seat.

……

This is the game development center.

Li Mu's chicken soup for the soul did not last long. The students were so enthusiastic that they did not need any chicken soup for the soul. Just by standing there, he could make the students' blood boil.

After he finished speaking, they were so excited that they couldn't control themselves. They clapped their hands vigorously and stood up and shouted loudly:
"Advisor Li, what you said is very good. We should also be like you and use our own strength to make our country stronger!"

"Yes, we want to let those foreigners who look down on us see that the Xia people are no worse than people from any other country!"

"Be determined to learn from Consultant Li!"

……

Students are rational and they will not worship blindly.

But when they are determined in their faith, they will show unprecedented fanaticism.

At this moment, Li Mu is undoubtedly their belief in scientific exploration, which will surely run through their future studies and work throughout their lives.

Looking at these simple and pure students, Li Mu's eyes were full of satisfaction.

Afterwards, he briefly answered some of the students' questions, answered their doubts in study or life, and gave them useful suggestions.

Seeing how gentle and easy-going he was, the admiration in everyone's eyes deepened.

……

After two hours, Li Mu was so thirsty from talking.

But looking at the students below who were full of expectations, it was not easy to take the initiative to ask for a break.

Fortunately, at this moment, a figure walked out of the door and rescued him.

Qian Shuyan walked up to the stage quickly and said with full energy: "Dear students, I think we should stop here today and let Comrade Li Mu take a rest. We will continue next time."

After hearing this, the students below were reluctant to leave, but after looking at the time, they also felt that Li Mu had been talking for too long, and nodded in response:
"That's right, we've been talking for more than two hours. It's time to let Consultant Li take a break."

"Advisor Li's time is so precious. We need to use it for important scientific research. We can't keep delaying it."

……

Listening to what these students said, Li Mu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and quickly said loudly: "Nothing is wasted. I am happy to answer your questions."

"But today it's indeed a bit long. Next time, I'll come again next time."

"You are all the future pillars of the country, and I am willing to communicate with you more."

His words made the students in the conference room even more excited. If it weren't for the teachers who followed him in to maintain order, they would have probably jumped up with excitement again.

However, even so, it took half a day for the situation to gradually calm down and everyone left the meeting room one after another.

Before leaving, he did not forget to say hello and goodbye to Li Mu.

Li Mu also responded with a smile, without any airs.

He didn't breathe a sigh of relief until all the students left. Although it was nice to be admired, it was bound to make people feel a little burdened.
