The Red Era, the Opening University Speech

Chapter 121 I have a calligraphy by the leader at home

The introduction of programmable digital switches and J language, coupled with the news that senior leaders visited the Semiconductor Research Institute to express their condolences, soon appeared on the front pages of major domestic newspapers.

People's Daily reported: "On Xth day of Xth month of 1961, my country successfully developed a program-controlled digital switch equipped with the first communication chip. This not only marks the development of my country's communication industry into a new field, but also means that in the application of semiconductors..."

Guangmin Daily: "After 12 years of trials and tribulations, my country's cutting-edge scientific development, from lagging behind the world to surpassing the world, is inseparable from D, and even more inseparable from the efforts of every researcher..."

"Who said that we Xia people can't do science! Who said that our technology is backward! Now, we are leading the world!"

……

There was also a buzz of excitement inside the Beijing Institute of Technology.

The mysterious professor from Beijing Institute of Technology at the J language conference had already whetted their appetite, and now they were even more eager to stop the professors who had not yet left and ask them questions.

To the extent that many professors dare not even go out, for fear of being bothered by students.

……

Qian Shuyan was still a little confused when he heard the news. It was not until he saw Huang Xinhua's name in the newspaper that he reacted and hurried to find Li Mu.

He knocked on the door twice, "Dong Dong~" and walked in impatiently before waiting for a response.

Seeing Li Mu sitting at the table studying as if nothing had happened, Qian Shuyan laughed and said, "You, you made such a big noise, why do you always act like nothing happened?"

"Programmable digital switches and J language, what a great achievement! You even got an audience with your superiors. Aren't you excited at all?"

When General Zhao, who was packing up nearby, heard his superior's words, he suddenly raised his head with a burning gaze.

"Of course I'm happy, but now is not the time to be happy. There is still a lot of research waiting for me to do." Li Mu shook his head.

Whether it is J language or programmable digital switch, it takes time to show its effect, but integrated circuit computers are different.

Once Big Mushroom succeeds ahead of time, it will have a huge impact on the development of the entire motherland!
Qian Shuyan looked at Li Mu with a determined look, feeling both relieved and helpless: "That's true, we should be happy."

"By the way, I heard that you also got a calligraphy piece from your superior?"

At the end of his speech, he couldn't help rubbing his hands together.

General Zhao, who was standing by, was stunned when he heard what happened. He looked at Li Mu in disbelief, and then his eyes fell on a scroll that Li Mu brought back yesterday.

"I was just about to tell you about this." Li Mu picked up the scroll, handed it to Qian Shuyan, and said, "I want to put this calligraphy in school."

"Put it in school? Why?" Qian Shuyan was stunned. What a great honor it was.

Li Mu explained: "Beijing Institute of Technology cultivated me, so my honor should also be the honor of Beijing Institute of Technology. This is one reason."

"The second reason is that it is not good to keep this calligraphy with me."

As he spoke, he opened the scroll, revealing four large characters on it.

A pillar of talent!

Seeing these four words, Qian Shuyan and General Zhao couldn't help but take a deep breath.

This evaluation is almost unique.

Suddenly, Army Officer Zhao's eyes moved slightly and he glanced at the signature below: "Superior Leader!"

Hearing his exclamation, Qian Shuyan's eyes moved slightly, and he also discovered the signature on the paper, and his breathing became a little faster.

If the handwriting of the superior leaders were to be left in the school, a separate book would have to be opened to record the school history.

"Can I take a look?" General Zhao couldn't help but feel excited and asked carefully.

He had been a soldier for so many years, but he had only met his superior once, and they didn't even have a conversation.

And Li Mu actually had a piece of calligraphy written by his superior leader himself.

"Of course no problem." Li Mu handed the scroll to General Zhao.

Qian Shuyan's eyes had not moved away since he saw the calligraphy, but even though he wanted to, he still advised: "You have to think about it carefully. The calligraphy of your superior is a treasure that can be passed down from generation to generation!"

"Don't worry, Dean. I actually have a calligraphy by a leader at home." Li Mu said with a smile.

Qian Shuyan and Zhao Canjun: "..."

……

After a long while, Qian Shuyan recovered from his shock and said, "I was wondering why you were willing to hand it in. It turns out you have another painting."

"Okay, I'll refuse it then."

As he said this, he took the scroll from the reluctant General Zhao.

After carefully putting it away, Qian Shuyan took out a cloth bag from his briefcase and opened it, and continued:

"This is the reward given to you by the National Academy of Sciences. It includes 30 jin of grain coupons, 10 jin of meat coupons, and 100 feet of cloth coupons."

"The rewards from the Ministry of Culture and Education and the school are 5 catties of grain coupons, 0 catties of meat coupons and 15 feet of cloth coupons, as well as the badge of our school's honorary alumni."

"Originally, people who haven't graduated can't get this badge, but you... you donated this calligraphy, so you deserve it."

As he spoke, he handed a thick stack of bills and a bronze badge into Li Mu's hands.

Li Mu returned the greeting solemnly: "Thank you country and organization, I will work harder!"

"Haha, we need to work hard, but now there is a problem and I need your help to solve it." Qian Shuyan said with a smile.

Seeing Li Mu's puzzled expression, he continued:
"That's right. Now many people know that the inventor of J language is from our Beijing Institute of Technology."

"But the professors in the Computing Technology and Simulation Teaching and Research Group of our college are still confused by this news."

"I was thinking, could you apply for the research materials on the J language and give our school a copy so that we can study it together?"

After saying this, Qian Shuyan's eyes showed some uneasiness.

This time was not like before. The people from the 421 teaching and research group of Beijing Institute of Technology did not contribute at all.

After listening to this, Li Mu immediately said, "Of course, I'll let you know and I'll give you the information."

"Okay, okay." Qian Shuyan smiled and suddenly said, "When you are free, go to the 421 teaching and research group and give them some guidance?"

"Of course you can, but if both sides study the same thing, it would be a waste of manpower," said Li Mu.

He can't avoid being modest this time. He invented the J language. Who would believe him if he said he didn't understand it?

"Do you have any ideas? Just tell me directly." Qian Shuyan said immediately.

Li Mu pondered for a moment and said, "The Semiconductor Research Institute is currently focusing on researching various chip programs such as communication chips. I think we can study the program for calculating ballistic trajectories."

“This is also the direction I plan to study next.”

Hearing this, Qian Shuyan was a little surprised:

"A computer that calculates the trajectory of a D-bullet? You're researching even that?"

"Isn't this a job for the Computer Research Institute? Why did you do it?"

"Cough cough." Li Mu couldn't help but cough twice.

He really hasn't thought about this issue.

Until now, his research has basically been given the green light all the way. As long as he puts it forward, his superiors will find a way to provide the conditions for him to carry it out.

Unconsciously, there is a suspicion that it is a blow to other research institutes.

After thinking for a while, Li Mu said, "I haven't reached that stage yet. I'm still learning."

"I was originally planning to wait for a while before applying to the Semiconductor Research Institute to set up a special research group..."

Hearing this, Qian Shuyan suddenly shook his head and said firmly: "No, no, no, why bother to apply to the Institute of Semiconductor Engineering." "Besides, they may not have enough manpower. It's better to do it with the Beijing Institute of Technology now, and then conduct joint research later. I approve this!"

……

After Qian Shuyan left, Li Mu continued to study.

The weight of those four words weighed heavily on his heart, and he couldn't relax at all.

He studied until the evening, and only after dinner did he take a walk around the campus to relax his highly tense and tired nerves.

When passing by the teaching building, he suddenly saw that the lights were still on inside and couldn't help but let out a surprised "Huh~"

Probably some studious academic genius.

Li Mu admired for a moment, then walked over quickly. Seeing others were rolling the papers, he also wanted to go back and study for a while longer.

Just as he walked to the back of the teaching building, he suddenly felt something in his heart and couldn't help but look up.
A bright profile was revealed on the edge of the window sill emitting orange light.

As if she had sensed something, Wang Ya turned her head and looked over here.

Li Mu nodded as a greeting and prepared to leave.

However, his actions seemed to make Wang Ya misunderstand something. After being stunned for a moment, she packed up her things and walked down.

Seeing this, Li Mu had no choice but to stand and wait for her.

Not long after, Wang Ya came downstairs, walked towards him, and asked, "Why are you so busy today?"

"Yes." Li Mu scratched his head and asked for something to say: "How is your research with Professor Huang going recently?"

Wang Ya said: "The teacher said that I can't help with the subsequent research for the time being, so let me take my time. I am focusing on studying now."

She has talent, but her talent is far from being as extraordinary as Li Mu, who can participate in and even lead major national projects in his sophomore year.

It is indeed difficult for her to participate in the research that Huang Xinhua is currently leading.

"Well, that's it." Li Mu nodded, hesitated for a moment, and said: "I do have a topic here, I wonder if you are interested?"

When Wang Ya heard the invitation, her eyes lit up, but soon dimmed again: "Me? I can't do it."

"Don't worry, the area you want to research is still a blank in China. Even if Professor Huang goes there, he will have to start from scratch." Li Mu said.

"Ah? What topic? It's still a blank right now?" Wang Ya was stunned.

If it is completely blank, shouldn't it be studied by professionals?

Li Mu smiled and said, "Yes, it's normal that you don't know it, because I just made it not long ago."

"It is a computer programming language. I named it JG language after our Beijing Institute of Technology."

"It can be applied to many aspects, operating system kernel, various embedded software or firmware, and ..."

As he spoke, he noticed that Wang Ya's expression seemed a little confused.

Mechanical engineering students in the future will certainly understand it, but computers have only become popular recently and have not yet been widely used, so it is normal that she does not understand.

"Let's put it this way." Li Mu thought for a moment and said:

"With JG language, we can write a program to calculate the trajectory of a D-bullet."

"And this program is much shorter and more efficient than any previous general-purpose mechanical language!"

The moment she heard about calculating the trajectory of the D-bullet, Wang Ya stood up from her seat and said without hesitation:
"I'll join!"

……

the next day.

Qian Shuyan acted quickly, made a phone call to the Ministry of Culture and Education, and quickly established the J language D-projectile trajectory programming project under the 421 teaching and research group.

Li Mu just needs to tell the Semiconductor Research Institute and get the relevant information about the J language, and then he can start the research immediately.

……

With Qian Shuyan's expectations, Li Mu came to the Semiconductor Research Institute and told Wang Shoujue the whole story.

The latter certainly had no objection. The more people in Beijing Institute of Technology knew about it, the safer Li Mu would be.

After getting Wang Shoujue's consent, Li Mu planned to go back and hand the information to Qian Shuyan.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked out of the laboratory building, he was stopped by Wu Youxiang.

……

In the conference room.

The military, postal services, and various government agencies all sent people to the Semiconductor Research Institute to inquire when they could get the new machines.

To this end, the First Ministry of Machinery in Kyoto took the lead in holding a special meeting at the Semiconductor Research Institute to discuss this issue.

Li Mu was not required to attend this meeting, but the leaders of several parties wanted to meet him, the "great scientist", so they waited for him to come.

Along the way, Wu Youxiang was explaining to Li Mu.

The two walked to the door and pushed it open.

Several oppressive gazes instantly fell on Li Mu.

Liu Weiguo, who was dressed in military uniform, immediately stood up and said with a smile:

"Haha, Li Mu, long time no see. As soon as I learned that you were researching the program-controlled digital switch, I took the initiative to talk to my leader and assign this task to me."

"Congratulations! You have come up with another great product. I just heard Director Wang introduce the switch to military communications. I think it will play a huge role."

"But I still have a request. I hope you can find a way to modify it so that it is more stable and durable, suitable for battlefield conditions."

After listening to this, Li Mu was slightly stunned, and immediately said: "Of course this is no problem, but I'm afraid it will sacrifice some other aspects of performance, such as the maximum number of simultaneous calls."

"No problem, as long as the communication is stable." Liu Weiguo nodded.

The battlefield environment is harsh, and the requirement for communications must be stability first.

As for the rest, it’s better to have them, but it’s okay without them.

As the two were talking, a middle-aged man in a light blue Mao suit stood up, walked over and said, "Hello, Comrade Li Mu, I'm Song Jianxia from the Post Office."

"Hello, hello." Li Mu quickly returned the greeting.

Song Jianxia smiled and said, "Seeing is believing. I have listened to Director Wang talk for a long time, but it is not as surprising as what I saw with my own eyes."

"It's amazing that at such a young age, he has made a major invention that has influenced the development of our country!"

"When I was in my twenties, I would secretly cry because I didn't do well on exams."

His words made everyone in the conference room burst into laughter.

"Leader Song, you're too kind. I'm just a little smarter." Li Mu smiled modestly, "Besides, the experiment is everyone's credit. It can't be said that I did it alone."

"Hahaha, not bad, not bad." Song Jianxin was even more moved. He was capable and yet humble. Such a person was so enviable that it was hard to be jealous of him.

"Let's talk business first." He continued, "I came here this time, in addition to discussing machinery matters with the First Ministry of Machinery, mainly to see you."

"The creation of the first communication chip is unprecedented in the world and will have a huge impact on our country's communications industry."

"However, how to apply and develop it is a question that must be carefully considered. I would like to ask for your opinion on this."
