The Red Era, the Opening University Speech

Chapter 297 Special Train
After breakfast.

Li Mu returned home with two meat buns and two eggs for Wang Ya.

It's still early.

He didn't just sit there and wait.

Instead, he went to the study and continued to study the technology of wind tunnel.

Emperor M's approach is mainly to build a full-size wind tunnel.

This type of wind tunnel can reach the Reynolds number of an actual aircraft flight, which is a dimensionless number used to characterize fluid flow conditions. Real aircraft or components can be directly placed in the test section for wind testing.

Xia Guo followed in the footsteps of its big brother and studied shock wave wind tunnels, using shock waves to compress the experimental gas and then generating experimental airflow through steady expansion.

"Big Brother built a U-56 shock wave wind tunnel in 12. It would be much easier if we could get the relevant information." Li Mu suddenly thought as he watched.

Unfortunately, the chances are slim that Big Brother will give it to them.

They will only have a chance to obtain this kind of critical military technology unless they are willing to exchange it for the most advanced core semiconductor technology.

But this exchange obviously does more harm than good to the Xia Kingdom.

Just when Li Mu was feeling extremely regretful, suddenly, a "ding~" message notification sound rang in his mind.

Open the chat page.

Ask:
"Li, I'm back at Jianqiao. I'm going to meet the investors tomorrow."

"What should I wear?"

"The little rich lady told me that it's best to dress formally, but I only have casual clothes. I don't think they will mind, right?"

Looking at the message, Li Mu was silent for a moment.

Could it be that he looked down on the young rich woman?

Are you taking me directly to meet my father-in-law?

"It's better to dress more formally. After all, you're going to be the boss of the lab in the future. Wearing casual clothes will make people think you're unreliable." Li Mu replied.

In any case, it's a good thing that Ask can stay in Jianqiao.

As a world-renowned institution of higher learning, the amount of information contained there is so much that he may not be able to read it all in his lifetime.

Ask: "Then I'll go buy it now, but I'm not good at picking. How about I wear it and send it to you?"

"Then I ask you to send me the pictures one by one, which is so troublesome. You are friends with the rich girl, so just take her there." Li Mu refused without thinking.

He had no interest in looking at all the selfies Ask posted.

The latter said regretfully: "Well, I'll go find the little rich woman."

The speed with which he agreed was so quick and clear that Li Mu almost thought he had figured it out.

But if you think about it carefully, there should be no such possibility.

……

There is still about an hour until the agreed time.

Li Mu asked Guan Jianmin, who had been waiting downstairs, to take him and Wang Ya to the train station.

Arrived at the station entrance.

What surprised Li Mu was that the train station, which should have been bustling, was empty at this moment.

No, it's not that there is no one.

Looking closely, soldiers were marching in neat steps throughout the station.

There are sentries everywhere and martial law is in place.

"Which important person is traveling? It's such a big deal. It won't affect our departure, right?" Li Mu couldn't help but ask Guan Jianmin.

Judging from the situation, they may not be able to leave for a while.

Guan Jianmin turned off the engine and stopped the car. He turned around and was about to speak.

Two people came up quickly from outside the car.

One was wearing a military uniform and the other was wearing a Zhongshan suit, obviously they were of high status.

Before Li Mu could react, the two of them opened the car door and said, "Advisor Li, please."

The word "please" made Li Mu stunned for a moment.

The important person is actually himself?
"Leaders, are you here to pick me up?" he couldn't help but ask.

The middle-aged man in a Mao suit smiled and said, "It's not you or someone else."

"Formally introduce myself. I am Lu Huasheng, the stationmaster of the railway station. I have been ordered to welcome you to board this special train."

He looked at Li Mu with curiosity in his eyes.

Although Li Mu is very famous, to be honest, this treatment is not enough for him.

But no matter how curious he was, he still followed the instructions of his superiors - and never asked any more questions.

"My name is Wu Bing, and I'm responsible for protecting your safety along the way, Consultant Li." Another man in military uniform followed up.

After listening to their introduction, Li Mu finally believed that they were really here to pick him up.

He took Wang Ya out of the car first.

Then he couldn't help but ask, "Stationmaster Lu Huasheng, Comrade Wu Bing, isn't this a bit too ostentatious?"

"Don't worry, Consultant Li, this is a plan that the leaders above have carefully considered, and it won't go wrong," Wu Bing explained.

Judging from their superiors' usual attitude towards him, Li Mu guessed that they were more afraid of something happening to him than he was.

So he didn't ask any more questions and followed the two into the station.

……

Come to the platform.

Lu Huasheng took Li Mu and Wang Ya and stopped in front of a green carriage.

The appearance is no different from that of an ordinary carriage.

But there is a different world inside.

After entering, the first thing that catches your eye is a wide rectangular space.

"This is the conference room. Consultant Li, you and other colleagues can communicate and discuss here. There is also a tea room next to it with hot water at any time." Lu Huasheng took the initiative to introduce.

Li Mu nodded slightly, thinking that he had broadened his horizons.

In his two lifetimes combined, when has he ever been treated like this?

But what surprised him even more was yet to come.

Continue walking into the carriage.

Lu Huasheng opened a car door and continued, "This is the room for you, Consultant Li, and Comrade Wang Ya. It's a little small, but privacy is guaranteed."

"It's more than guaranteed, it's a bit too luxurious. I don't even dare to live here." Li Mu sighed as he looked at the room.

Apart from being a little smaller, the interior layout is considered luxurious for this era.

There are all kinds of tables, chairs and benches, and the mattresses look new. There is also a small table by the window with recent newspapers and magazines on it for people to browse.

There is even a separate small bathroom.
Lu Huasheng smiled and said, "It's not luxurious, I just try my best to ensure the living needs of you, Consultant Li, and Comrade Wang Ya."

"Besides, you are a great scientist of our Xia country. You work hard on research for the development of our country. Isn't it reasonable for you to enjoy better conditions?"

"By the way, Comrade Wu Bing's residence is not far away. If you need anything, you can go directly to him."

Anyone who heard these two sentences from him would probably feel relieved.

But Li Mu still cared a little.

"Forget it, it's just this time, it's not a big deal." He thought about it and decided not to reject the kindness.

At this point, I can't say that I will definitely not take this special train.

Not only does it waste time, it also looks like a show. …

Afterwards, Lu Huasheng introduced the interior of the special train.

He left directly without disturbing Li Mu and Wang Ya's rest.

Not long after, Huang Xinhua brought Yang Tianxing, Zhou Xiling and Lei Ming to the train station.

After getting in the car, he saw that Li Mu and Wang Ya had already arrived, so he quickly apologized: "Sorry, sorry, I was delayed on the way and kept you waiting."

"What are you talking about? The agreed time was 2 o'clock, but we came early." Li Mu said with a smile.

The two exchanged a few simple pleasantries.

Lu Huasheng took Huang Xinhua and others to see their residence.

Compared with the luxurious configuration of Li Mu and Wang Ya, theirs is far inferior.

Huang Xinhua had a single room, but Yang Tianxing and the other two were squeezed together with Wu Bing, who was responsible for security along the way.

But it was also very good. When riding a train in that era, although not as many Indians sat on the roof as in later generations, there were still many fewer people.

It is quite good to have a clean and comfortable environment.

……

Soon, the passengers arrived.

The train whistled and moved slowly forward.

We just started the journey and everyone was a little excited.

While everyone still had energy, Li Mu called them to the conference room in the carriage and talked about the action plan after this trip to Sichuan and Chongqing:

"After we get there, I'm afraid I'll be separated from you all as soon as I get off the car. It's hard to say when we'll meet again. Of course, I should have at least one or two days to stay with you all."

"During my absence, I will have to ask Professor Huang to lead them to carry out academic exchange activities in semiconductor and computing technology with universities in Sichuan and Chongqing."

"There is also the research on upgrading various machines and equipment using CAD and CAM, which can also be tried. I believe they have the ability to achieve results."

He finished his words.

Everyone looked at each other, and no one dared to say a word.

Huang Xinhua smiled and said:
"Since Li Mu trusts you, just go for it boldly."

“Don’t feel like you’re not good enough.”

“You are still a little less experienced than the seniors in the institute and need to continue learning and accumulating experience, but if you were outside, your level could be said to be at the forefront of software engineering.”

His words made Yang Tianxing and the others feel much more relieved.

"That's right, perform well. You all graduated from the Semiconductor Research Institute, so don't lose face." Li Mu also encouraged with a smile.

Yang Tianxing, Zhou Xiling and Lei Ming were shocked when they heard this and quickly assured him, "Don't worry, Advisor Li, we will definitely not bring shame to you or the institute!"

"It's not enough not to embarrass ourselves, we need to bring glory to the institute and let all the experts and professors in Sichuan and Chongqing know that the software engineering at our semiconductor institute is the best!"

"That's right, we will never let you down!"

Although the method of provoking someone is old-fashioned, it does work.

One sentence made their blood boil.

Even Yan Peilin would probably faint in the toilet after hearing this - they are the Institute of Computing Technology!
Seeing the three people full of fighting spirit, Li Mu smiled and said with satisfaction:
"Well, I'll give you another task. If conditions permit, organize a short-term software engineering training there... Never mind, let's just call it an exchange meeting."

"If there are suitable people, you can write down all the names."

"I'll go over after I'm done with my work and see how it works. If it works well, maybe we can study it together in the future."

If we run a training class without a professor and only allow Yang Tianxing and a few others to teach, we will probably be criticized.

It's just a name, it doesn't matter.

The main purpose is to recruit some people.

"Guarantee to complete the mission!" Yang Tianxing and others said in unison again.

Huang Xinhua on the side shook his head helplessly, hesitated for a moment, and then reminded: "You can recruit people, but don't take all the best ones away, otherwise you will offend people."

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing." Li Mu said with a smile.

He certainly wouldn't go too far.

The main purpose is to train talents for Sichuan and Chongqing.

Secondly, he "took away" a few classmates who wanted to follow him, and no one could say anything.

……

Four o'clock in the morning, Chengdu Railway Station.

Xiao Zhang, a staff member at the station, yawned and secretly clicked his tongue as he looked at the troops that had completely blocked the platform two hours ago.

He had seen this kind of situation a few years ago when a leader from Kyoto came to inspect.

At that time, most of the city leaders came over to greet us.

So he was very impressed.

Although I didn’t see the city leaders from last time, I guessed that the people who came would not be of low status.

Just as he was guessing, someone suddenly patted his shoulder heavily and said, "Why are you daydreaming? You don't even realize that someone is behind you."

"Stationmaster." Xiao Zhang turned his head and saw that it was the stationmaster. His face turned bitter. If he was caught distracted at this time, he would have to bear the consequences later.

Just as he was complaining, a strong voice said kindly:
"It's too late, it's normal for young people to feel sleepy and distracted. Besides, our comrades in the army will take care of our safety, so there's no need to make a fuss."

"But young comrade, the people who are coming here soon are extremely important to us in Sichuan and Chongqing."

"When the train arrives, you must cheer up and show the best side of the people of Sichuan and Chongqing to them!"

"Yes, yes, I will pay attention to it." Xiao Zhang quickly glanced at the old man in the Zhongshan suit who spoke for him.

It looks familiar, but I can't remember where it is right away.

However, there was a large group of people following this man, all wearing Zhongshan suits. They were always leaders and their status must be not low.

Just as he was recalling the other person's identity in his mind.

A whistle sounded suddenly from a distance.

Stationmaster Yu shouted, "The train is coming!"

The group of people looked excited, and led by the old man who had just pleaded for Xiao Zhang, they walked towards the station.

In the crowd walking by.

Xiao Zhang stood upright, watching the city leader he had met last time walk behind him.

He finally remembered the old man's identity and couldn't help shuddering: "Shen... Director Shen!"

……

After more than 30 hours of driving.

The train slowly entered the station and stopped at the platform.

The train compartments opened.

Under the gaze of the Sichuan and Chongqing leadership teams, a young figure walked off the train.

After seeing the other person's appearance clearly, the top leader Li Dazhang immediately walked forward excitedly, shook his hand, and said, "Advisor Li, we've been waiting for you!"

Who else could this young man be but Li Mu?

Although he looked younger than in the newspaper, it did not stop them from recognizing him.

"You, who are you?" Li Mu was startled by the sudden appearance of a large group of people.

Not only him, but also Huang Xinhua and others who followed behind were shocked.

With so many leaders in Zhongshan suits coming to greet us, the standard was extremely high. I'm afraid only the top figures could enjoy such treatment.
