The Red Era, the Opening University Speech

Chapter 382: In ancient times, he would be the "Agricultural Saint"

"Advisor Li, please tell us what you think. We trust your judgment!"

“Even a preliminary solution is good. With everyone working together, we can definitely solve the problem!”

"With Consultant Li's help, no difficulty will be a problem!"

……

Faced with the flattery of the crowd, Li Mu quickly raised his hand and signaled them to be quiet first.

He smiled and said:
"Let's not waste any more time on polite talk and get straight to the point."

"My idea is to use directional solidification technology to solve the problem of high-temperature alloys."

"Directional solidification is a process that creates a temperature gradient in a specific direction in the mold, so that the molten alloy solidifies and casts in the opposite direction of the heat flow and approaches the required orientation..."

Li Mu slowly explained the directional solidification technology.

This technology was invented in 1965 by M. Diprada Aerospace Company. It is particularly used in the aviation field and can produce parts with excellent performance.

Of course, it is also suitable for the high-temperature alloy manufacturing of core components such as turbine blades, conductor blades, turbine disks, etc. of F-class gas turbines.

High-temperature alloys manufactured using directional solidification technology have significantly improved their endurance strength, creep strength, thermal fatigue strength, high-temperature toughness and chemical stability.

After Li Mu finished speaking.

The experts and professors in the factory were silent for a long time.

Although I felt that Li Mu could definitely solve the problem, I didn't expect it to be solved so quickly.

After a long while, a materials professor said with emotion:
"If the directional solidification technology can be successful, not only can the problems of F-class gas turbines be perfectly solved, but also new breakthroughs will be made in the development of many key components in my country's aviation industry!"

The voice just fell.

A group of experts and professors also reacted and their eyes lit up.

Seeing this, Li Mu smiled slightly and said:

"I'm afraid I'll be proud if everyone praises me like this."

"And this is just a preliminary idea. Whether it can be done depends on the efforts of all of us."

"Okay, I won't waste any more time talking nonsense, let's get started."

After saying that, he led everyone to start researching directional solidification technology.

Simply giving directions is not enough.

Emperor M only invented this in 65 AD. There is no doubt that Xia Kingdom is lagging behind in this regard.

Without his help, it would undoubtedly take longer to understand, master and apply this technology as quickly as possible.

What they lack most now is time.

……

I worked until about 4pm.

Only after everyone had gradually gotten the hang of it did Li Mu leave the Kyoto Thermal Power Plant.

Although Zhang Yan wanted to keep him at the factory for dinner before leaving, he didn't stay long after hearing that he was doing research. He could only regretfully say that he would treat him to dinner next time.

Of course Li Mu understood his thoughts.

So when I left, I smiled and praised the other party for their good management and the excellent logistics of the thermal power unit research team.

The latter immediately understood what he meant and promised to keep up the good work to ensure the smooth progress of the research project.

……

After half an hour.

Li Mu took a car and came to the Agricultural College again.

At this time, you can see a lot of vehicles coming and going at the school gate.

The experts and professors were all well-dressed, some riding cars, some riding bicycles, and some just walking.

After arriving at the door, he said a few words of hello and then hurried inside.

When he saw Li Mu's car, he looked at it in surprise, but he didn't pay too much attention to it.

Until a figure that they had seen countless times in the newspapers got out of the car.

But at this moment, an expert in his forties suddenly exclaimed, "Advisor Li!"

This voice directly attracted the attention of the surrounding experts and professors:
"It's really Consultant Li!"

"I thought I would have to wait a while before I could see him, but I didn't expect to meet him so soon!"

"It's a rare opportunity to meet him. I must consult him about pesticide issues later!"

……

Everyone was whispering, but few came up to greet Li Mu directly.

After all, he is young and famous, so even if you just watch him from afar, people would hesitate and dare not disturb him.

At their age, let alone achieving anything, few people even know about their research units.

"Hello, experts!" Li Mu took the initiative to greet them.

He just took a quick look and didn't see anyone familiar.

But you should still be polite when necessary.

The experts and professors immediately responded, "Hello, Consultant Li!"

However, although they appeared polite on the surface, they still couldn't help feeling a little reserved in their hearts.

After all, in terms of age, they are at least two years older than Li Mu.

But when it comes to achievements, even if all of them are added together, I'm afraid they can't compare.

Since we were completely unfamiliar with each other, I really didn't know how to get along with each other.

Even though some people had wanted to consult Li Mu on some issues for a long time, they hesitated when they saw the tense atmosphere.

"You are Professor Wang, right? I have read the articles you wrote..." Seeing this, Li Mu looked at the old professor, remembered his identity, and walked up to start a conversation.

His initiative quickly broke the originally awkward atmosphere.

Li Mu had already spoken, so there was no reason for them to remain silent, fearing that they would disturb him. So, they walked towards the school while chatting.

……

During the conversation, Li Mu learned the identities of these experts and professors.

Most of them were from universities or research institutes close to Kyoto. After receiving the order, they rushed here by train as soon as possible.

Some people even put down their current research rather than miss this opportunity.

After all, the two words "Li Mu" are still very valuable in their hearts.

Cypermethrin and phosphate fertilizer have increased the country's grain production by nearly 4425% to million tons, feeding tens of millions of people and saving them from hunger.

Regarding this contribution, an expert from Henan Province could not help but sigh: "If it were in ancient times, Consultant Li, you would be a well-deserved agricultural saint, and it would not be an exaggeration to build a temple and deify you!"

As soon as these words were spoken, all the experts and professors nodded in approval.

Li Mu shook his head and said, "In ancient times, it was enough for the people to have something to eat, but what we need to do, what the country needs to do, is not only to let the people have something to eat, but also to let them eat enough and eat well!"

His achievements cannot be compared with those of Mr. Yuan who came later.

If we want to completely solve the food problem, only hybrid rice can do it.

Of course, this cannot be said now.

So everyone just thought he was being modest and didn't take it seriously.

Just when they were about to speak again.

After receiving the news, Liu Quangong finally came to greet them with Mi Shenghua, Yuan Peiye and Du Mingwei.

"Please forgive us, Consultant Li, we are late." Liu Quangong apologized.

He was organizing and arranging accommodation for the experts and professors who had come from all over the country. When he heard that Li Mu had arrived, he immediately called Mi Shenghua and the other two over.

"Dean Liu, what you said is not right. I'm not a big shot. There's no need to make a scene or have people come to greet me. It will only delay my research work." Li Mu said with a deliberately stern face.

Hearing this, Liu Quangong remained silent.

Mi Shenghua said:
"Advisor Li, this is not the Dean's fault. We wanted to come here on our own."

"Without you here, even if we have a research plan, progress will still be slow."

"Therefore, we thought of coming here first and reporting the problem to you."

After he finished speaking, Yuan Peiye and Du Mingwei also nodded.

Although it is a bit embarrassing to say this in front of all the colleagues, they have to admit that their current progress is indeed not ideal.

"Okay, let's go to the meeting room and talk about it." Li Mu didn't hesitate and nodded, then led everyone to the school's meeting room.

……

Waiting for the place.

Mi Shenghua and the other two had basically explained all the issues.

The creation of a new chemical pesticide generally requires the design of a target molecule first, followed by the synthesis of the target molecule. After obtaining the compound, quantitative and qualitative characterization is performed to confirm the structure.

The research plan given by Li Mu has relatively clear steps.

But even if there are clear steps, it does not mean that cyfluthrin can be synthesized easily.

The questions raised by Mi Shenghua and the other two focused on the multiple chemical reaction steps in the synthesis.

For example, in the process of synthesizing 3-2-dimethylcyclopropanecarboxylic acid chloride, there are issues regarding temperature control and what reactants need to be added for the reaction.

In addition, there are issues such as the purity of raw materials.

After listening patiently, he did not give a direct answer, but guided everyone to think about how to solve it.

……

The meeting lasted until dinner time.

Li Mucai announced the end.

The experts and professors breathed a sigh of relief, and looking at the densely packed notes in front of them, they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts: "Fortunately he didn't listen to the advice and brought paper and pen."

Otherwise, I might not be able to remember so many things.

They found it difficult just to listen, let alone digest and absorb it.

On the stage, after Li Mu finished speaking.

Liu Quangong and Mi Shenghua immediately walked over and said, "The food is ready, Consultant Li, let's go to the cafeteria to eat."

"Okay!" Li Mu nodded slightly and did not refuse.

Afterwards, he went to the canteen of the Agricultural College for dinner.

After finishing the meal, I found a place to sit down.

Liu Quangong, Mi Shenghua and others naturally sat next to him and continued to discuss research issues with him.

The whole afternoon today was devoted to the discussion of cypermethrin, but the issue of nitrogen fertilizer was not even mentioned.

“Let’s have another meeting after dinner.” Li Mu thought for a while and said.

Hearing this, Liu Quangong was of course very happy and agreed immediately.
