The Red Era, the Opening University Speech

Chapter 151 Video call with Ask!

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Mu, who had been prepared, walked out from behind the scenes.

This time his coming to power did not cause much surprise.

Ye Zhupei and Professor Zhang frequently received Li Mu and praised him highly in front of everyone.

Rather than being surprised by his age, they wanted to confirm with their own eyes whether this young man was worthy of the title.

Li Mu looked at the huge crowd below, waved his hand, asked the staff for a blackboard, then turned around and said with a smile:

"Hello, experts and professors, welcome to the National Exchange Conference of the Steel Industry."

“I am honored to be able to represent the Iron and Steel Metallurgy Laboratory and the Chemical Metallurgy Research Institute to explain the relevant information about the top-blown oxygen converter converter technology.”

After saying these polite words, he turned around again, pulled over the blackboard, and while drawing a simple diagram of a top-blown oxygen converter, he continued:

"The overall structure of the top-blown oxygen converter consists of the converter body, the tilting system, and the oxygen supply system at the oxygen lance level."

"The technical principle is to blow pure oxygen directly into the high-temperature water from the top of the furnace through a spray gun to promote chemical reactions and remove impurities..."

"In this process, the high reactivity of oxygen is utilized, and the high-speed oxygen flow is directly in contact with the molten iron to accelerate the smelting process..."

……

Li Mu explained it in great detail.

It is so detailed that even a graduate student can understand it clearly. It can be said to be a textbook-like explanation.

However, the content is straightforward and unoriginal.

The experts and professors below had already heard a simple introduction to top-blown oxygen converter technology from Professor Ye Zhupei and Professor Zhang, so they were naturally not satisfied.

Before he could finish, someone interrupted him and said, "The way you spoke, you broke it down and prepared it for the students. Don't we understand?"

"Yes, let's communicate. No problem. How can we communicate?"

"How about you tell me about your design ideas, where did you get the inspiration from, and how did you solve the specific problems?"

……

There was a flurry of discussion from the audience, and judging from their expressions, many people were not very satisfied.

Li Mu smiled and continued to read the manuscript, then said: "I have finished introducing the technical principles of top-blown oxygen converter technology. Does anyone have any questions?"

No one spoke in the audience and it was a bit awkward for a moment.

Seeing this, the host wanted to speak up to help.

At this time, Li Mu continued:
"Okay, since there are no problems, let's end this session."

"Originally, we should have ended the following, but I would like to take up a few minutes of your time to listen to my immature idea."

Having said this, he paused, asked the staff next to him for a small blackboard, and then continued:
"When summarizing the research process of the top-blown oxygen converter, I found a problem: blowing oxygen from the top would result in a stirring dead zone."

“The presence of dead zones will affect the composition and temperature of the molten pool, which in turn will affect the quality of the molten steel and increase the cost per ton of steel.”

"So I wondered if we could blow oxygen from the bottom, would we be able to avoid this dead zone?"

……

The young man on the stage spoke eloquently, from technical principles to experimental demonstrations, and explained the possibility of improving the top-blown oxygen converter technology.

The experts and professors who had been skeptical just now listened to Li Mu. In addition to being surprised by Li Mu's "sudden" professional level, they also showed some strange expressions.

This kind of weird operation is that he just talked about his own achievements and then kicked them over. It is really hard to understand.

How is this different from me killing myself?
……

After Li Mu finished speaking, the expert Wen from the three provinces and one machinery department could not help but ask, "Do you mean that the bottom blowing method is better than the top blowing method?"

"In that case, then the 300-ton top-blown oxygen converter factory was built in vain?" a professor followed up.

This remark immediately caused quite a commotion.

The country has invested so much money in its construction, and you developed it yourself, and you turn around and say this technology is not good?
Li Mu smiled and said, "Top blowing has its advantages, and bottom blowing has its disadvantages."

"The 300-ton top-blown oxygen converter will not be built in vain because of a small improvement. The increase in steel production is real."

"I proposed this idea to encourage everyone to brainstorm and think about whether the two can be combined to form a composite process."

After hearing this explanation, many experts below nodded.

That's right, isn't that what the exchange meeting is for?

……

After proposing the idea of ​​composite technology, Li Mu continued to expand on it and then did not talk much more.

Oxygen reblowing itself is not a very complicated thing, and he proposed it just to promote the development of the domestic steel and metallurgical industry.

But just because he doesn't want to say it doesn't mean that the people below don't want to ask.

As soon as he stepped down from the stage, a large group of experts and professors surrounded him, blocking Li Mu's way and asking him all kinds of questions about the composite process.

Li Mu responded with a smile: "The composite process is not a complicated thing. It is more of an experimental problem than a theoretical one."

"All the experts and professors are authorities in their fields and have more experience than I do. I still have a lot to learn from you."

……

When he said these words, except for Ye Zhupei and Professor Zhang, who were not far away and were laughing secretly, basically no one around him thought there was anything wrong.

Young people are talented, but they are still young after all.

It's not for nothing that you eat more salt than rice.

……

So under Li Mu's guidance, the focus of people's discussion gradually shifted from him to the authoritative experts from all over the place.

He listened with great interest and even took out a pen to write down what the experts and professors said like a secretary.

Just when he was enjoying himself, someone suddenly called out from behind, "Li Mu, come here."

When I looked back, it was Ye Zhupei, with a few unfamiliar faces standing beside him.

When he walked over, before Ye Zhupei could introduce himself, an old professor in his 60s smiled and said, "My name is Jin Shu, and I'm the president of Sansheng Institute of Technology."

"I heard that our experts from the First Ministry of Machine Building invited you to visit the three provinces, but you turned it down?"

"Yes, President Jin, I really can't get away from here." Li Mu said quickly.

Jin Shu, the pioneer and founder of Xia country's steel metallurgy, is definitely a big shot!

Hearing this, Jin Shu did not get angry, but said: "Then be sure to come and have a look when you have the chance. We have a lot of delicious food over there, and I guarantee you won't want to leave."

"Of course, of course." Li Mu was sweating slightly.

The delicacies of the three provinces at this time include but are not limited to steamed lamb, steamed bear paws, steamed deer tails, roasted duck, and roasted chicken...

Tiger bone wine removes fishy smell, forest frog oil moistens the spoon, wild ginseng strengthens the country, and matsutake mushroom soup, the names sound very delicious.

The famous mushroom stewed chicken in later generations was originally called mushroom stewed flying dragon. The scientific name of this flying dragon is Hazel Grouse, a national second-level protected animal.

If the "Xia Kingdom Wildlife Protection Law" had not been promulgated in 88, Northeastern cuisine would definitely have dominated the eight major cuisines of the Xia Kingdom in later generations.

Jin Shu didn't know what Li Mu was thinking, he just said happily. "Okay, write me a letter before you come, I will definitely make a room for you!"

Later, Li Mu met famous scholars such as Yin Maoguo, Li Cai, and Zhang Shourong, all of whom were famous figures in history.

Zhang Shourong, in particular, is a legendary figure who solved the problem of thin steel plates, the basic raw material that was of greatest concern to the Yuan leadership.

People in later generations would never have imagined that before 81, the Xia Kingdom actually did not have the ability to independently produce thin iron sheets such as cans and biscuit boxes.

If you want to produce, you have to spend huge amounts of foreign exchange to introduce advanced technology and equipment from abroad.

When the national fiscal revenue was less than 800 billion US dollars, it was planned to use 43 billion US dollars to purchase complete sets of equipment from abroad. "Chief Zhang, Chief Yin... let's have more opportunities to communicate in the future." Li Mu greeted everyone enthusiastically.

These people are all in their thirties now, not much older than him.

In terms of achievement, it is no match for Li Mu, who made the top-blown oxygen converter in one fell swoop. Li Mu, who became famous at a young age, was a little flattered by Li Mu's enthusiasm.

But they certainly would not refuse this kindness and they talked to Li Mu very harmoniously.

During a communication meeting, Li Mu spent most of the time discussing technology, except for recognizing people at the beginning.

In fact, it's not just him, almost all experts and professors are the same.

Transportation is not well developed nowadays, and it is not easy for everyone to come to Kyoto. Many people may only have the opportunity to see him a few times in their lifetime.

Everyone cherishes this rare opportunity for technical exchange.

……

After the exchange meeting, many participants felt that they had gained a lot.

Li Mu was also reluctant to leave. This collision of thoughts and inspirations was simply a feast that made people unable to stop.

An idea that I had long ago came to my mind again: "It would be great if we could create an information exchange platform!"

Today he truly realized what the wisdom of the people is. Many small technical problems were solved by workers in some places by changing their methods.

However, due to the underdeveloped means of communication, information could not be transmitted promptly and effectively, and the problem still could not be solved in other places.

If there is an information exchange platform, not only chemical industry and metallurgy, but also many light and heavy industries can develop rapidly through communication.

Thinking of this, Li Mu suddenly sighed and said to himself: "But the Internet is a big problem. Even computers are not yet popular."

"Let alone personal computers, even if we popularized the Type 01 computer, that would be great."

"No, we still have to improve the integration of integrated circuits as soon as possible, so that we can bring the price down!"

While muttering to himself, Li Mu left the school.

Next, he plans to visit the Semiconductor Research Institute to see the research progress of the distributed projection lithography machine.

……

Walk downstairs to the dormitory.

Li Mu said hello to General Zhao who was resting, and prepared to go downstairs and leave.

At this moment, a message alert sounded in his mind.

Ask: "Li, I'm so unlucky. The institute suddenly sent me on a business trip, so I can't go out with her anymore."

"I just arrived at the place, feeling so lonely, so lonely, funnyjpg."

"So, do you want to come play games with me?"

Before Li Mu could reply, a video call came in.

Is this acceptable?

Li Mu smiled bitterly in his heart and was about to hang up, but he found that the video call interface seemed a little different.

Askew had fought him once before, but in the video at that time, there was no footage of him.

But now, he actually saw himself on the call page!

Also, in the upper left corner, there was no signal at all before, but now there is a WIFI icon.

Still full!

"That's totally off the mark!" Li Mu couldn't help but twitch his lips as he looked at the video call requests that kept popping up on the chat page.

Ask continued:

"Li, why don't you answer? Without you, there's no one to play games with me."

"We haven't played together for half a year, can't we play a game?"

"Just one, just one, it doesn't matter whether you win or lose."

It can be seen that he really misses the time when they played games together.

"Wait, I'm driving now, I'll call you later." After hesitating for a long time, Li Mu replied.

It is impossible to keep escaping. I have not played games with Ask for such a long time, I will definitely be suspected.

But he definitely can't answer it rashly, he needs to prepare first.

At least he had to find a place where he was alone, so that if he fainted after the call was connected, it would not arouse other people's suspicion.

"Okay, Li, I'll wait for you!" Ask replied happily, his happiness almost overflowing the screen.

……

Li Mu put his plan to go to the Semiconductor Research Institute on hold and returned home.

After telling Grandma Li and others that he needed to study something and asked them not to disturb him unless necessary, he returned to his room.

After closing the doors and windows, Li Mu sat on the bed and solemnly opened the chat page.

The WIFI signal is still full!
Li Mu thought:

“Why did the chat page change like this?”

“Assuming it was able to escalate, why didn’t it react before?”

"Is it because of my fainting last time?"

After thinking for a long time, Li Mu finally came up with a relatively reasonable explanation.

From a certain point on, he suddenly started to become smarter and eat more. Perhaps it was because the chat page needed to be upgraded and needed "energy" supply.

"Let's try video calling Ask first. The reason is that I'm participating in the filming of a period drama and want to experience the fun of being an actor!" Rubbing his brows, Li Mu prepared to try out the video chat function.

If it can be connected, it means that the WIFI is fully available.

Maybe I can download another game later and play some time-traveling alliances with Ask.

Thinking of this, Li Mu clicked on the video call and recited silently in his heart.

His figure sitting on the bed appeared on the chat page again.

At the same time, far in the distant future, Ask in Tennessee, M. Empire, tossed and turned in bed for a long time, and finally waited for Li Mu's call request.

"Great!" he cheered and immediately clicked to connect.

……

Li Mu heard a few "zilla" sounds in his mind. His expression changed instantly and he was ready to hang up the call immediately.

At this moment, he was surprised to find that the option of connecting to WIFI suddenly appeared on the chat page.
