The Red Era, the Opening University Speech

Chapter 120: On par with the great masters of historical science!

In the evening, Chinese Academy of Sciences.

In the office, Guo Mo looked at the research progress report sent from the northwest and couldn't help but smile.

Unfortunately, this document can only be seen by him for now.

Just when Guo Mo was feeling deeply moved, Wu Youxiang arrived in a hurry.

The latter handed over the information he brought and then reported to Guo Mo the news of the successful development of the programmable digital switch.

After listening to this, Guo Mo said with joy:
"It is small in size, light in weight, low in power consumption, reliable in quality, and can greatly save costs. If it is promoted nationwide, it will definitely have a huge impact!"

"This communication chip in particular can greatly increase the coverage area of ​​the phone and make long-distance communication possible. It is of great significance!"

"The invention of program-controlled digital switches will surely attract worldwide attention!"

"We have left Emperor M and Big Brother far behind!"

His voice echoed in the office, full of pride and pride.

It was not until 60 that the Xia Kingdom independently developed its first vertical and horizontal electromechanical switching system, 22 years behind the M Empire.

In just one year, the development of a programmable digital switch was completed.

This speed is enough to attract the world's attention!

"Our country is lucky to have Li Muzhen. Without his plans and guidance, and without the invention of J language, this day would not be possible!" Wu Youxiang said with a smile.

Since he took office as the director of the Semiconductor Research Institute, there has never been such a surge in research results, one after another.

All this is because of Li Mu!
"He is indeed a genius, but the efforts of your semiconductor institute cannot be ignored." Guo Mo said with a smile, and hurriedly called the secretary and said:

"Hurry up and contact all the major newspapers and radio stations. This scientific achievement is worth writing about."

"By the way, we also need to notify the First Ministry of Machine Building. If we want to build a factory for production later, we cannot do without their cooperation."

……

The next day, the First Ministry of Machine Building.

Leader Qiu is meeting with heads of several coastal machine-building ministries to inquire about the production and sales of air fryers and mountain bikes.

When I heard that the sales volume of the two products exceeded 20 and 15 respectively, and that several more factories had been added to meet overseas order demand.

Leader Qiu couldn't stop smiling.

Foreign exchange earnings are secondary. The key is that Xiaguo’s products can be sold abroad and have achieved great success, proving the progress of the country’s industrial strength, which is of great significance.

Just then, the secretary knocked on the door twice, then walked in and reported to him the news that had just come from the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

After listening to this, Leader Qiu couldn't help but clapped his hands and sighed with joy:

"This Li Mu has given me another surprise!"

"We just proposed the program-controlled digital switch at the J language conference, and then we developed it."

"This speed is unique among all the scientists in our Xia country!"

This praise was indeed heavy, especially the two words "Li Mu" included in it, which shocked the leaders of several places sitting next to him.

The head of Guangdong First Machinery Department who was sitting nearby couldn't help but ask, "Leader, the Li Mu you are talking about, is it the Li Mu who invented the air fryer and mountain bike?"

The heads of other regions also looked curious.

"Who else except him has this ability?" Leader Qiu said with a smile.

After getting his confirmation, the head of Guangdong First Machinery Department's eyes lit up and continued, "Since it was invented by Li Mu, can we also build a factory to produce it and sell it abroad?"

"Yes, leader, apart from anything else, you know the situation in rural areas in recent years. If we can build a factory, it can solve many employment problems!" said the head of the First Ministry of Machine Building from Suzhou.

Although the rest of the people didn't say anything, they all expressed the same idea in their eyes.

Having tasted success in air fryers and mountain bikes, they also wanted to produce programmable digital switches in their respective locations and then sell them.

Leader Qiu said unhappily:
"What's the hurry? You don't even know what a program-controlled digital switch is, and you want to build a factory and sell it overseas?"

"And even if we want to build a factory and start production, you won't have a chance. How can we let you take all the benefits?"

"Besides, whether this thing can be sold abroad or not is not up to us to decide, only Li Mu can decide!"

Hearing this, the people in the room couldn't help but look embarrassed.

Leader Qiu looked at the people who had become depressed, and without saying anything else, he asked them to leave first, and then said to his secretary:
"You go and notify the First Machinery Department in Kyoto, and then connect with the Semiconductor Research Institute to build a factory and start production of programmable digital switches as soon as possible!"

"As for whether or not to sell it overseas, you can also ask them to ask Li Mu for his opinion."

……

The news of the successful development of the program-controlled digital switch soon spread to a small courtyard.

Listening to the secretary's report, the superior leader couldn't help but sigh:
"This Li Mu, first the J language, then the program-controlled digital switch, his scientific research achievements have never stopped!"

"I remember that it has only been a short time since the J language was reported. It is impossible that they have succeeded in developing it in such a short time without painstaking efforts."

"Especially since it has reached the world's leading level, it is really gratifying!"

"If you say so, Li Mu is no different from our country's lucky general!" said the secretary with a smile.

It is truly amazing that the student whom I had only met once or twice before could achieve such great results.

"You go inform the Semiconductor Research Institute..." The superior put out his cigarette and continued, "I will go to them again in the near future to take a look."

"Still going, leader, aren't you going too often?" The secretary was stunned and advised.

It hasn't been long since the last visit, and if I go again, people will inevitably complain. Everyone is doing research, so why should the Semiconductor Research Institute have such a great honor?

The superior leader smiled and said:

"It should, it should."

"If you have made contributions, you should be rewarded. You can't stop rewarding people just because they have been rewarded before."

“Their achievements deserve recognition!”

……

Here, Li Mu stayed at home until noon, and went to the Semiconductor Research Institute after lunch.

Although the program-controlled digital switch was successful, he considered it to be only a small achievement, far less important than the research on integrated circuit computers.

Came to the group responsible for central processing unit research.

Huang Xinhua was delighted to see him and said, "You are finally here. Come and see if there is any problem with the timing logic circuit of this register."

As he said that, he handed a drawing to Li Mu.

Taking the blueprint, Li Mu pretended to look at it carefully for a while: "The output of the sequential circuit is not only related to the input, but also to the original state of the output. Here, we need to add a storage circuit for feedback input..."

……

After solving problems for Huang Xinhua, Wu Xi, Huang Kun and others, Li Mu looked at the time and saw that it was already 10 o'clock in the evening, so he planned to go home and rest.

At this moment, Wu Youxiang hurriedly found him and brought a message:
"The superiors have decided to come to the Semiconductor Research Institute to express their condolences in three days!"

……

Inside the Semiconductor Research Institute.

It was still the same small playground where the art troupe from the army was performing.

There were sentries outside the door again.

Under everyone's expectant gaze, the tall and majestic figure in the gray Zhongshan suit appeared again.

Before he even entered, people rushed forward like a wave: "The leader is coming! The leader is coming!"

"Leader, please take care of yourself!"

"Leader, please don't overwork yourself!"

……

No matter how many times they meet, people's love for their superiors never diminishes in the slightest, but only becomes more intense.

The superior leaders listened to the concerns and greetings from those around them and responded one by one:

"I'm not tired, everyone is tired!"

“You are all heroes of the people!”

"Take good care of your body. Research is important, but people are more important!"

……

Walking through the crowd, the superior's gaze passed over Wu Youxiang, Wang Shoujue and others who came to greet him, and finally stayed on Li Mu for a moment.

He laughed heartily twice and said to everyone in the Semiconductor Research Institute:
"I didn't expect that you would have achieved such great results in just one month."

"The J language and program-controlled digital switches are leading the world, leaving Emperor M and Big Brother far behind. This is exciting news for our country."

"Especially the J language, which can upgrade our country's computers and indirectly accelerate the research of national heavy equipment, which is very important to our country!"

"The D country's ideologies are still determined to destroy us, and the north is ready to make a move. The situation is not optimistic!"

He smiled again, looked at the people who suddenly fell silent, and said:
"Thanks to you scientists who have made world-shaking achievements one after another, which have not only strengthened our national strength but also boosted the confidence of the people."

"We in Xia Country have the determination to fight against powerful enemies, but we have fallen behind for too many years. If we want to rebuild a strong backbone, we still have to rely on scientists like you to take the lead."

Just a few words made all the researchers present, including Li Mu, feel excited and carry a heavy burden in their hearts.

"By the way, you have already made the chips, so are integrated circuit computers also coming out soon?" the superior asked again.

"There hasn't been much progress, sorry to disappoint you!" Wu Youxiang, Wang Shoujue and other semiconductor researchers couldn't help but look ashamed.

Guo Mo, who was standing by, knew that the research on integrated circuit computers was not easy, so he explained carefully:
"The research and design of integrated circuit computers involves many fields and even requires the industrial foundation of our country. It takes time to accumulate if we want to make them."

"How could I be disappointed? You have already given me a big surprise," the superior smiled and consoled, and then said:

"I remember the J language report meeting of Beijing Institute of Technology mentioned the development of programming languages. What do you think about it at the Semiconductor Research Institute?"

After saying that, he turned his gaze to Li Mu, who was standing a little further back.

The others immediately understood and pushed Li Mu out.

No one else can answer this question except him.

Facing the question from his superior, Li Mu thought for a moment and said, "Leader, the development of semiconductors, in simple terms, is to integrate more transistors in a limited area."

"Now we can only integrate more than a thousand transistors, but in the future we can reach tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even tens of millions!"

"I call this kind of improvement a hardware upgrade, but hardware upgrades alone are not enough, they also require software support."

"Software?" the superior asked in confusion.

Wang Shoujue and other researchers were also puzzled as they had no impression of the term "software".

Li Mu explained: "Hardware is like a sharp sword, but no matter how sharp the sword is, it still needs people to exert its power. Software is the sword wielder!"

"Through software, we can communicate with computers, turn complex commands into fixed programs, and even perform complicated operations with just a click of a button."

……

Listening to Li Mu's description, everyone present was shocked.

This student is so young and even has fuzz around his mouth!

It is redefining the future of the semiconductor industry!
Split the semiconductor industry in two.

One is hardware, the other is software!
The two are closely connected, yet very different.

Such achievements are not much worse than those of the greatest scientific masters in the history of academia, such as Newton, Einstein, Tesla, etc.!
Semiconductors are the cutting-edge field in today’s world and represent the future. All major powers are well aware of their potential!

Li Mu has already engraved immortal achievements in the history of this industry.

Wang Shoujue couldn't help but sigh:
"In terms of the development prospects of semiconductors and even computers, Li Mu is ahead of all of us, no, the entire world!"

This sentence expresses the thoughts of everyone.

Li Mu looked at the shocked crowd, and suddenly something occurred to him. He said, "Leader, I have a suggestion. Should I say it?"

"Speak up, there is nothing you can't say." The superior leader said immediately.

Hearing Wang Shoujue's comment that they were at the forefront of the world, he became even more curious about Li Mu's suggestion.

Li Mu thought for a moment and said, "That's right. I want to build some factories to produce programmable switches and all the semiconductor application products that will be developed in the future."

"Of course, we cannot sell the most advanced technology abroad. We can develop one generation, publish one generation, and sell one generation."

"Now our semiconductor industry is leading the world in both technology and application."

“I believe that within a few years, the semiconductor research of the entire world will be oriented in our direction!”

Hearing Li Mu's words, everyone around couldn't help but feel their hearts surge with emotion.

Xia Country has lagged behind for so many years. Even though it is now leading the world in science and technology, no one dares to say that they want the world to follow their direction.

"Okay, very good! I agree with your idea!" The superior smiled and praised.

Leader Qiu from the First Ministry of Machine Building could not help but say:

"Isn't this what Emperor M and Big Brother did to us in the past? They sold us those obsolete old equipment at high prices."

"Now, we can sell it to them too!"

Hearing this, everyone laughed.

The superior leader was laughing, and suddenly said to the secretary beside him: "Xiao Song, go find me some paper and pen!"

Hearing his words, the people around him were shocked.

Even Wang Shoujue, who knew that his superior had once written a calligraphy for Li Mu, was surprised.

The meaning of words given privately and the inscription given in front of so many people are completely different.

……

After Secretary Song found paper and pen, the superior leader took up his brush and wrote four big words in the expectant eyes of everyone - a pillar of talent!
After writing, leave your signature and seal!
Seeing this evaluation, everyone's eyes were focused on Li Mu, whose body was trembling slightly, and they were all shocked.

The weight of these four words was so great that it made them a little confused.

"Leader, I don't deserve this evaluation!" Li Mu looked at the words and his throat felt a little dry.

A pillar of talent, how could he deserve these four words?

"If I say you can bear it, then you can bear it." The superior patted Li Mu's shoulder affectionately, making him even more excited.

This piece of calligraphy is so important to Li Mu!

In certain periods later, it is the best amulet.

Especially since it was written in front of so many people and the signature was left, even if someone wanted to confuse right and wrong, it would be impossible.

"Keep it." The superior looked at Li Mu and laughed, "Besides, you can't just take my calligraphy for nothing. In the future, you will still be needed to shoulder the heavy burden of Xia's semiconductor development!"
