The Red Era, the Opening University Speech

Chapter 410 Instructions from the Superior
Afterwards, everyone stopped chatting and went to the cafeteria first.

In order to entertain Li Mu, Chen Jiaxun put in a lot of effort and provided him with plenty of good wine and food.

And it's not just on Li Mu's table, all the researchers involved in the Xuanniao-1 helicopter can have it.

It was a celebratory banquet and everyone enjoyed the meal very much.

At the dinner table, Li Mu also agreed on a time with Ma Jun, that after the latter had completed the test flight mission, he would go to his home to see his children.

Of course, he did not forget to remind the other party again that in case of an accident, he should put his own life first.

After all, the fact that there were no problems in the first test flight does not mean that there will be no problems in subsequent test flights.

In addition to conventional environmental testing, testing is also required in high-altitude and plateau environments, including airspeed and rotor speed, environmental control system, hovering performance, level flight performance and other items.

The entire test flight mission requires 200 hours of flying, which is undoubtedly an arduous task.

However, these things have nothing to do with Li Mu.

After all, it was impossible for him to participate in the test flight, nor was it possible for him to go to the high-altitude and plateau areas.

……

After a meal.

Li Mu stayed in the Fengtian Aircraft Manufacturing Plant for a while and talked with a group of experts and professors about the development of fighter jets.

To develop the epoch-making J-10 fighter jet is still very difficult given Xia's current technical conditions and industrial foundation.

Even with the information in hand, he still found it difficult.

If we can guide many experts and professors to start thinking, it will definitely be beneficial to future research.

Although the effect may not be too great.

But even just a little bit is good.

The sooner the J-10 can be developed, the sooner Xia State can have a say in the airspace.

But he didn't stay too long. He had a brief chat, inspired everyone, and then left quickly.

For now, the priority is to complete the master's task.

After all, flying the helicopter over Asan's head is definitely a very high priority.

……

Kyoto, small courtyard.

The news of the initial success of the Xuanniao-1 helicopter's test flight soon spread here.

Looking at the report, the superior leader was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling, and even ate an extra bowl of rice.

Just as he was eating rice and reading the report again.

The secretary came to report that Qin Yun, Guo Mo and Qiu had come to ask for instructions on work.

Hearing this, he quickly asked him to bring the two people in.

As soon as he saw the person, the superior couldn't wait to smile and say:
"Come and see, Li Mu has completed the Xuanniao-1 helicopter in Sansheng, and has now achieved initial success!"

"They said that if everything goes well, the test can be completed within half a month and then put into production."

"We in Xia finally have our own helicopter. This is a good start and sets a good example for the development of our domestic military equipment industry and civil aircraft!"

His tone showed his excitement and happiness, and even a hint of boasting.

After all, Qin Yun, Guo Mo and Leader Qiu must have all known the news about this matter. At most, they knew it a little later and not as quickly as their superiors.

However, they did not say it explicitly, but nodded in agreement:

"Leader, you are right. With the Xuanniao-1 helicopter, we can finally have something good in the field of high-tech military equipment!"

"It's more than a good thing. It's mechatronics. Can Emperor M and Big Brother make it? They can't!"

"This is just the beginning. Our country's military equipment industry will surely develop better and better!"

……

Although it may sound a bit like bragging, the three of them actually felt so sincerely.

The invention of the Xuanniao-1 helicopter had an extremely huge impact on the military equipment industry of the Xia Kingdom and the international influence it produced.

After a moment, the superior interrupted the three people with a smile, and then said: "Okay, you guys come over here, you are not coming here to praise Li Mu, right?"

"This is what happened, leader. We are here to ask you about the production issues of the Xuanniao-1 helicopter." Qin Yun said.

Hearing this answer, the superior was stunned for a moment, then said: "Production problem? Didn't the test flight just succeed?"

Even if he knew nothing about the Academy of Sciences, he understood that there was a very long time gap between test flight and commissioning.

In fact, he felt that the interval of half a month was exaggerated.

If Li Mu hadn't been there to make things make sense, he would definitely have asked who made this time estimation.

"The test flight was just successful, but as you can see, the results of the test flight were very good, so there is a suggestion to set up a production line first. If there are no problems later, then production can start directly to resist the threat of foreign enemies." Qin Yun said.

To be honest, he himself felt that this behavior was a bit risky.

But now the noise in the southwest is getting louder and louder, and they are starting to station troops there. It is impossible that there is no movement on their side.

The best outcome is definitely not fighting.

However, conventional things probably won't be able to make India, which is eager to fight, give up competing with them and consolidate its position as the third most powerful country.

With the Xuanniao-1 helicopter, maybe we can give it a try.

The superior also thought of this and was silent for a long time before saying:
"Advance production is possible, but it can only be carried out at the Fengtian Aircraft Manufacturing Plant."

"And the entire production process needs Li Mu to supervise and control it."

"The Xuanniao-1 helicopter is not cheap, so we must be extremely careful when dealing with it."

He actually felt that this matter was somewhat unscientific.

After all, they started thinking about production before the test flight was even over. If the news were to be released to the world, it would probably be a source of amusement for Emperor M and Big Brother for more than a decade.

But the reality is that they need to use the Xuanniao-1 helicopter to deter India so that the other side dare not start a war again.

"By the way, there is one more thing I want to report to you, leader. I heard from the two directors of the Fengtian Aerodynamics Research Institute and the Fengtian Aircraft Manufacturing Plant that Li Mu plans to develop a fighter jet." Qin Yun continued.

Hear the news.

The superior leader's frown relaxed again and he said with a smile:

"Oh, researching fighter jets, that's a good idea, you should give it your full support!"

"If we can come up with a powerful fighter jet, our country will be able to gain true air superiority in future wars."

"If we always follow Big Brother and Emperor M to learn, we will never have a say in the air battlefield!"

At the end, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Air control can be said to be the pain point of the Xia Kingdom in wars for a long time.

Whether in the Fourteen Years Period or the subsequent Northern Aid War, they had basically no air superiority.

Once the enemy sends out planes, they can only passively take the beating without any means of fighting back.

Generally speaking, you can still avoid it in advance.

But on the battlefield, there are always times when you cannot avoid it.

At that time, the soldiers could only charge forward under heavy bombardment and use their lives to fill the equipment gap and make up for the disadvantage of having no air superiority.

"Don't worry about this, leader. The three provinces are very supportive of Consultant Li. Before the report was handed over, they also submitted an application to mobilize national research forces." Qin Yun followed.

Although Li Mu’s original words were written in the report, saying that it was just an idea for now and it would take a long time before the research project officially began.

But based on his understanding of Li Mu, when he had an idea, he could already start planning.

The superior nodded with satisfaction, but then said, "It's good to prepare in advance, but you must also be careful not to put too much pressure on Li Mu."

No matter how important the scientific research project is, in his eyes, it is not as important as Li Mu.

Listen to your superiors.

Qin Yun and the other two reacted and nodded quickly:

"Don't worry, no matter what, we will never affect Consultant Li's research!"

"The development of fighter jets is not a small project, and it is also very difficult. We really can't let Consultant Li feel pressured!"

"Yes, trusting Advisor Li is one thing, but we can't go too far!"

……

It can be said that they have developed a blind trust in Li Mu and feel that he will succeed no matter what he studies.

This wouldn't be a problem in itself - after all, few scientists could give people this illusion.

Whatever you study, you will succeed, quickly and well.

Even looking around the world, there is only one such scientist, Li Mu.

"Okay, it's good that you know it. Anyway, I still mean that, don't interfere too much in Li Mu's work." The superior leader interrupted them.

The purpose of his saying this was to prevent someone below him from "putting pressure" on Li Mu in order to develop a fighter jet as quickly as possible.

After all, a powerful fighter jet is undoubtedly a magic weapon that can solve the urgent needs of the Xia Kingdom.

Not to mention surpassing Emperor M and Big Brother, they would all laugh heartily if they could build a fighter jet that was similar to their most advanced fighter jets now.

There is no way. We are still in the imitation stage and can only follow the steps of Big Brother.

Qin Yun and others also immediately stated that there would absolutely be no interference in Li Mu's research.

Then, they immediately reported on the steel metallurgical database and 10,000-ton extrusion machine that Li Mu had developed in the three provinces.

Not to mention the role of the former, the latter, as one of the nine major equipment, is definitely of great significance to the enhancement of Xia Country's industrial strength.

During this time, he also mentioned the interesting fact that Li Mu was planning to personally conduct a test flight on the Xuanniao-1 helicopter.

Hearing this, the superiors felt both happy and helpless.

Fortunately, Li Mu was not allowed to go up in the end, otherwise he would definitely write a telegram to "remind" them.

……

Fengtian.

After returning from the test flight site.

Li Mu did not waste the remaining half day and returned to the dormitory to continue working.

He worked until late at night, then he stretched and ate the midnight snack brought by Guan Jianmin while reading the latest report about himself in the newspaper to calm down.

People Daily:

"Recently, Comrade Li Mu, a famous software engineering expert in my country, held an academic exchange conference at Fengtian Institute of Technology, convening many experts and professors in iron and steel metallurgy to discuss the development issues in the field of iron and steel metallurgy..."

Guangmin Daily:

"This academic exchange conference is of great significance to the development of iron and steel metallurgy in our country. It is also a large-scale practice of applying software engineering to the field of iron and steel metallurgy..." Xinmin Daily:
"...We can believe that under the leadership of Comrade Li Mu, our country's iron and steel metallurgy field will usher in an opportunity for vigorous development!"

……

As expected, the content of the article is still full of praise and compliments.

Seeing this, Li Mu's mouth corners couldn't help but curl up automatically, and finally turned into a face full of pride and flush.

There is no way. I have to maintain my image in front of outsiders and be humble even when praised.

But in private, I don’t care so much. Seeing a group of experts and professors writing articles praising myself still makes me feel happy and satisfied to a certain extent.

The importance of this emotional value is one of the biggest motivations that supports Li Mu to keep working hard.

Just when he was watching intently.

A figure quietly came up behind him.

Before he could react, the man said, "Hey, didn't you say you wouldn't look at it when I brought it to you this morning? Why are you secretly looking at it now?"

The moment he heard the voice, Li Mu put away his smile.

He raised his head and looked at Guan Jianmin, deliberately putting on a serious expression, and said, "I'm just taking a look to calm down. But you, didn't you just come here to deliver midnight snacks? Why are you running over again?"

"I understand, I understand." Guan Jianmin waved his hand with a smile, then his face became serious and he said, "Instructions came from Kyoto."

Hearing this, Li Mu was stunned for a moment and asked, "Instructions, what instructions? Ask me to stay and research fighter jets?"

This was all he could think of.

The importance of fighter jets also made it worth his while to stay in Fengtian for research.

"No, it was the superiors who expressed their congratulations on the initial success of the test flight of the Xuanniao-1 helicopter, and gave you a 'warning' not to think about trying risky behaviors like test flights every day." Guan Jianmin said.

Li Mu immediately became anxious: "Slander, this is absolutely slander, how can I do this one day!"

"Don't worry about whether it happens day by day or not, just tell me whether there is one or not," Guan Jianmin said directly.

He was actually a little speechless.

After eliminating the biggest hidden danger, spies, who would have thought that Li Mu himself would become a new hidden danger.

A national treasure-level scientist is thinking about what it's like to fly a plane in the sky.

Li Mu chose to skip this topic and asked, "Is that all the instructions?"

"Of course, there is also the production of the Xuanniao-1 helicopter... Finally, the superiors also affirmed the research on the steel metallurgical database and the -ton extruder that you have done here, and verbally commended you." Guan Jianmin said.

After listening to this, Li Mu fell into deep thought.

He didn't need to guess to know that the decision to start preparing for production in advance was definitely made because of the trust that his superiors had in him.

Each Xuanniao-1 helicopter costs seven or eight million yuan, and losing one is a bit hard to accept. Otherwise, Ma Jun would not have been so determined to die and sacrifice himself to save the aircraft.

But if production starts ahead of time, even if it is just preparation, if there is a problem, the loss will be huge.

"The above decision is a bit too risky!" Li Mu couldn't help but sigh.

Although he was indeed confident that there wouldn't be any major problems.

But once this beginning is made, it is hard to say whether there will be any problems later.

We can’t just research something later and then wait for the higher-ups to think it’s feasible and then start production right away.

If you do that, you will fall sooner or later.

Guan Jianmin said: "Yes, there are some, but isn't it all out of trust in you? And letting you guide me is also to prevent problems."

"That's true." Li Mu shook his head and didn't continue to dwell on it.

At least for now, it definitely pays to prepare for production in advance.

The shock and effect brought by the appearance of a few Xuanniao-1 helicopters and dozens of Xuanniao-1 helicopters on the battlefield are completely different.

……

The next day, early.

Wash up after exercise.

Li Mu went to Fengtian Institute of Technology as usual.

The academic exchange activities are still going on and he certainly cannot be absent.

Of course, up to now, everyone has gained a lot, more or less, and has found some directions for future research, so there is no need to keep asking him questions.

This gave him some free time.

But it was only a little bit, most of the time, he was surrounded by people.

There were experts in steel metallurgy, professors of software engineering, and reporters who were taking notes in their notebooks with pens and paper while listening to him speak.

Li Mu still had no way to get rid of the people.

After all, they are all veteran experts and professors. If someone comes up to you to discuss a problem with a smile on his face, even if the person's level is average, he will not just turn the person away with a cold face.

But if he can't afford to offend, he can still hide.

After finding an excuse to keep everyone, he simply slipped away and wandered around the campus to get some fresh air.

……

There are green trees on both sides of the corridor.

The sunlight shines through the gaps between the leaves and onto the cement road, and the mottled light and shadow are particularly beautiful.

Li Mu found a place to sit down and take a breath while continuing to read the information about the nine major devices.

Although the J-10 is important, it is unlikely to be produced in the short term.

Now his research focus is still on the nine major devices.

Just as he was watching intently, a figure suddenly walked over from the other end of the corridor.

He didn't notice.

General Zhao, who was following him, saw it and immediately looked over with caution.

After all, it wasn't long since the last espionage activity, so we still need to be on guard.

Noticing that Zhao Canjun's eyes were full of vigilance, the visitor stopped seven steps away and said in a low voice: "Li, Consultant Li."

Hearing someone calling him, Li Mu was stunned and looked up.

I saw a dark-skinned girl standing there, looking at me timidly, as if she wanted to look but didn't dare to.

Seeing this, Li Mu stood up and said, "Hello, what can I do for you?"

"Hello, hello. I'm Gao Lan, a senior student in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Fengtian Institute of Technology." The girl stuttered a little, probably because she was a little nervous.

After all, this is Li Mu!

A nationally renowned scientist, a role model and goal in the hearts of countless students!

Li Mu smiled and said, "Don't worry, talk slowly, or you can sit down and talk."

After saying this, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the position where he had just been.

"No need, I can just stand and talk. Consultant Li, I heard from the professor that you are planning to do a software engineering project. I am also very interested in software engineering and have done some research. I would like to ask you if I can participate in this research project?" The girl finally plucked up the courage to say.

After hearing his explanation, Li Mu thought for a moment and asked, "Did your professor recommend you to come here?"

Although he didn't know who the professor was who recommended Gao Lan.

However, since Gao Lan was able to recommend someone here, I think he must have some skills.

At least in terms of talent, there is potential worth cultivating.

"Yes, but the professor said you don't have to consider his opinion and you can do any test on me." Gao Lan continued.

Hearing this, Li Mu became even more certain that the other party definitely had great talent.

Although he thought about it, he did not agree to it directly.

He said:
"Well, find some time to visit your dean and ask him to take you to see Comrade Yang Tianxing from Kyoto for testing."

"If you pass, you can participate in research and development in the future."

"But don't feel stressed. You've just become a senior, right? The workload is quite heavy. If you can't adapt, you can study more and try again later."

Li Mu admired Gao Lan for recommending herself.

However, precisely because of his appreciation, he needs to be more careful in his cultivation.

After all, there is always a gap between ideals and reality.

Having good talent is one thing, but jumping all of a sudden from school to a research project team, and participating in such a large project as the steel metallurgical database, is also a problem.

In addition, Yang Tianxing and the other three had heavy tasks on their shoulders, so they didn't have much time to teach her.

In this situation, the pressure is enormous.

"Don't worry, I just want this opportunity. If I can't do it, I will withdraw on my own and not cause you any trouble!" Gao Lan said firmly.

Seeing this, Li Mu nodded slightly and didn't say anything more.

The opportunity has been given, and whether or not one can seize it is up to the other party.

……

Then the girl left quickly.

Li Mu also returned to the exchange meeting and continued to participate in the activities.

The exchange meeting ended at dusk.

Just as he was about to pack up and go to the cafeteria to eat, he suddenly found a group of students walking towards him excitedly.

Seeing this scene, Jin Shu, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but wonder, "Why are so many people here together?"

In the past few days, most of the students who wanted to see Li Mu have been "educated" once and dare not come over easily.

"Maybe he came to me to beg for mercy." Li Mu looked up, thought for a moment, and quickly reacted.

Jin Shu asked doubtfully, "Plead for mercy?"

Before he could continue asking questions, the group of students came over.

Unfortunately, he was so "extraordinary" when he came, but when he got closer, he suddenly became timid.

After all, they still felt quite pressured to be "scrutinized" by a great scientist like Li Mu.

After a long while, one of the boys finally stepped forward and said, "Advisor Li, we heard that you asked Gao Lan to take a test, and we all want to..."

"I know. You want to participate in software engineering project development, right?" Li Mu said with a smile.

He knew it was this without having to guess.

The boy nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, yes, we are all very interested in software engineering."
