The Red Era, the Opening University Speech

Chapter 159 Look at you, you're such a spoiler
Li Mu's idea of ​​leading the research was flatly rejected by Dong Huaxing and others.

Several people knew clearly why their superiors did not allow him to attend the discussion meeting.

"If two won't work, one will do. No one knows them better than me, the inventor!" Li Mu tried to bargain.

Dong Huaxing said: "Don't even think about it. We will carefully consider the candidate for the leader of the research team. You can only be a guide at best."

"There should also be a time limit. If you go to the laboratory too often, you can't even serve as a guide." Guo Mo continued.

Although Leader Qiu didn't say anything, he nodded.

Gu Zheng wanted to say a few words for the young man, but since the three of them all agreed, he didn't know what to say. He just patted Li Mu on the shoulder and said:

"Keep exercising. You still have a long way to go. There's no need to rush."

"I'm in really good health!" Li Mu felt like crying but had no tears.

But there's no point in saying this, no one will believe it.

……

A few days later, the R&D team for electronic watches and handheld game consoles was quickly formed.

The former was originally researched by the Semiconductor Research Institute, and was supplemented by a large number of experts and professors drawn from various units, making the research team even stronger.

The latter is mainly based in the Institute of Computing Technology, led by Yan Peilin as the team leader. In order to facilitate Li Mu, he also specially placed the research site in the Semiconductor Research Institute.

However, while the two studies were in full swing, Li Mu was often idle and had nothing to do.

Every time he entered the laboratory, Guan Jianmin would remind him to pay attention to the time within three hours.

The total time he spent in the two laboratories could not exceed 6 hours!

During this period of time, there is nothing to do except talking about theory. If you want to resist, you will be driven out by Yan Peilin and Huang Kun.

……

On this day, Semiconductor Research Institute.

Outside the electronic watch development team's laboratory, Li Mu was once again picked up by Wang Shoujue and Huang Kun and "persuaded" to go out in a friendly manner.

Huang Xinhua at the back smiled and waved his hand, indicating that he couldn't help either.

Guan Jianmin looked at the dejected Li Mu, thought for a moment and said, "It's no use for you to keep hanging on like this. The leaders above won't give in."

"I think you should find a way to exercise more and strengthen your physique, so that the leaders can be assured, right?"

Hearing this, Li Mu was speechless and said, "I exercise every morning. Isn't that enough?"

"Not enough. Apart from sweating, the effect of boxing is actually limited. You must strengthen it." Guan Jianmin thought for a while and whispered:

"And you've had so many medical problems."

"If you want your leaders to feel at ease, you need to spend more time exercising every day."

Hearing this, Li Mu suddenly realized that he knew he was fine, but others didn't know!
……

After realizing that he needed to change the stereotype of others that he was weak, Li Mu's daily exercise program changed from boxing to -

Boxing + 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, 100 squats, and running 1 meters around Beijing Institute of Technology every day.

At first, he found it a bit difficult to handle such intense exercise.

But as I practiced more, I seemed to adapt to it, and each time I ran to the end, it became easier and easier.

He also changed his diet, consuming meat, eggs and milk every day. His physical condition improved at a speed visible to the naked eye, and he even gradually developed abdominal muscles.

……

In the early morning, the mist had not yet dissipated.

Li Mu ran back from the school gate, his clothes soaked with sweat. He was about to go back to the dormitory to take a shower before going to the Semiconductor Research Institute.

He walked very quickly along the corridor of the campus.

Just as I was about to turn near the experimental building, I suddenly saw Wang Ya coming out with a tired face.

The girl was thinking about something while walking and almost bumped into a tree. Li Mu couldn't help but smile.

"Have you been up all night?" He walked over a few steps, then remembered that he was sweating and the smell might not be very pleasant, so he took a half step back.

Wang Ya nodded, too tired to even speak.

"What's wrong with you? You can't do this. No matter how important research work is, it's not as important as your health!" At this moment, Li Mu has become the people he once "hated" the most, Dong Huaxing and others.

Wang Ya raised her head a little slowly and explained, "It was too late yesterday. I was afraid of disturbing my roommates if I went back, so I stayed in the lab."

"Don't worry, I just took a short nap, I'm not that sleepy."

As she spoke, her body swayed, which made Li Mu look very upset.

He turned around and said, "Follow me."

After taking a few steps, I didn't hear Wang Ya's footsteps.

Looking back, I saw that he was probably tired and confused, still standing there in a daze, and didn't even notice that the bag in his hand accidentally fell to the ground.

Li Mu sighed, walked forward to pick up the bag, then pulled Wang Ya's sleeve and headed towards the staff dormitory which was closer.

……

As a faculty member of Beijing Institute of Technology and a major financial sponsor who donated the building, the school arranged for Li Mu to live in the currently vacant highest standard housing - a 43-square-meter mansion.

43 square meters may sound small, but some newly hired counselors live in crowded dormitories with several people in one room.

Li Mu didn't want it originally, but Qian Shuyan insisted on keeping it for him.

Originally he thought it was unnecessary, but later he found that having a place where he was alone was actually not bad, so he asked Professor Wang to buy some simple furniture and would occasionally come over to stay during the day.

……

When he brought Wang Ya downstairs, he met Qian Shuyan and Professor Wang who were just going out. Li Mu greeted them calmly and then took them upstairs.

It was not until she took out the key to open the door that Wang Ya's sleepiness suddenly disappeared completely. She said, "This, this is your dormitory. What did you bring me here for?"

"Sleep, what else can you do?" Li Mu rolled his eyes at her unhappily. It would take at least ten minutes to walk to the girls' dormitory.

How could he be at ease considering Wang Ya’s current confused state?

As he pulled her in, he continued, "I usually just lie on the sofa occasionally, and the bedding inside has never been used, so you can use it without worry."

After saying that, Li Mu left without looking back.

When I went downstairs, I saw that Qian Shuyan and Professor Wang had not left yet. Even Professor Zhang and Professor Wei had come over without me knowing when.

Li Mu quickly explained: "Wang Ya didn't pay attention to the time during her research yesterday and stayed up too late. The girls' dormitory is a bit far away, and my room is just empty, so I asked him to come over and have a rest."

"Oh~ What are you in such a hurry to explain? We didn't misunderstand anything." Qian Shuyan asked in a puzzled tone, causing Professor Wang and others behind him to burst into laughter.

To be honest, they were all shocked when they heard Li Mu bringing Wang Ya back to the dormitory.

No matter how they tried to bring them together before, there was no result, and they were about to give up.

As a result, I didn't keep an eye on them for a while, and the two of them actually developed something quietly.

Seeing the teasing looks from everyone, Li Mu felt helpless and thought to himself that it was a good thing he came down quickly, otherwise it would not be as simple as a few teasing remarks. …

After saying goodbye to Qian Shuyan and the others, Li Mu thought for a moment, then went to the cafeteria and ate his breakfast in no time.

Then he went to the window and bought two buns and a bowl of porridge.

I returned to the staff dormitory and walked like a thief, afraid that someone would see me.

"That's not right. I walk upright and sit upright, so what do I have to be afraid of?" As he walked, Li Mu felt that this kind of thinking was wrong.

Returning to the dormitory, he took out his key and opened the door with a click.

I originally wanted to put down breakfast and leave, but when I looked, I found that Wang Ya was probably too sleepy and actually fell asleep on the sofa.

Her slightly chubby oval face was fair and smooth. Perhaps she was thinking about research in her dream. Her smooth forehead was slightly wrinkled, making people want to smooth it out.

"Huh~" Li Mu let out a long sigh.

He put down the breakfast in his hand, took out a note from his bag, wrote a note, walked to the window and opened it which was originally closed.

Maybe it's because it's the middle of summer, so it's inevitably a bit hot.

……

Came to the Semiconductor Research Institute.

In the electronic watch development team, most of the professional experts and professors in Kyoto have been transferred here, and the lineup can be said to be luxurious.

When Li Mu walked in, many eyes fell on him.

Thanks to the discussion meeting on industrial product export and foreign exchange earnings, now in the academic circle in Kyoto, even those who are not researching semiconductors, chemical metallurgy and agronomy know that there is a talented young man in the Kyoto Institute of Technology.

"How is the display done? Are there any problems?" After coming in, Li Mu asked Huang Kun directly.

Huang Kun said:
"There is no problem with the dot matrix LED display, but we are currently having a major problem with the battery."

"Although the operating current of a single LED die is only 3mA, the electronics of an electronic watch are required to be small and light, so power consumption is a big problem."

"Unless we develop new batteries, we can only increase the size of existing batteries."

The head of the research team asked a question to an assistant researcher, but no one present thought there was anything wrong.

"There's no need to develop new batteries." Li Mu frowned, "At least we don't have time to do that now."

"In this way, the original dot matrix LED display is replaced with an LCD liquid crystal display."

"LCD liquid crystal display?" Huang Kun and the experts and professors in the laboratory were all stunned, somewhat unfamiliar with the term.

Li Mu looked at their reactions and then he remembered that he hadn't mentioned the TV yet, so he quickly explained:

"It uses the physical properties of liquid crystal to make it conductive when electricity is applied, and the arrangement becomes orderly, allowing light to pass through easily. Otherwise, it blocks the light from passing through."

"To put it simply, it is two pieces of sodium-free glass material with a layer of liquid crystal in between, relying on a polarization filter..."

……

Compared with LED displays, LCD screens are not only low in cost and power consumption, but also have good display effects even under strong light.

It is a perfect substitute for dot matrix LED display.

As they listened to Li Mu's story, the eyes of the experts and professors became brighter and brighter.

After he finished speaking, Huang Kun immediately said, "I will report to Director Wang and ask him to invite the material science experts in Kyoto to come over and start research."

"Okay, this is the plan for the LCD screen, you can take it." Li Mu smiled and handed over a piece of manuscript paper from his pocket.

As for color TV, he felt that it would take some time.

The safest approach is to first develop the handheld game console and then transfer the games on the handheld game console to the color TV.

Otherwise, if color TV dies suddenly, many subsequent research will be affected.

……

After leaving the electronic watch research group, Li Mu came to the handheld game console again.

The problem here is not that simple.

In the conference room, when he walked in, Yan Peilin was calling the team for a meeting.

Li Mu first looked at the picture he drew above. He didn’t think there was anything wrong with it, but after seeing the size above, he almost went dark.

25cm long and 15cm wide, he remembered that what he designed was not a brick!

Yan Peilin on the stage saw Li Mu standing there stupidly, waved at him and said:
"The handheld game console you designed requires a processor with too high a level of integration. If you want to ensure performance, you can only increase the size."

"Then let's put the processor aside for now and solve the problems with buttons, batteries, memory, and storage devices first. We can discuss it after a breakthrough in the lithography machine." Li Mu took a deep breath. There was no good solution for this.

A handheld game console is not like an air fryer, which can be made bigger with great force.

If it's as heavy as a brick, no one will like it no matter how fun the game is.

Unless it can be turned into an arcade machine and produce games like King of Fighters, but now even the problem of LCD screens has not been solved, let alone an arcade machine.

……

After leaving the handheld game console research group, Li Mu came to Wu Xi's J language research group.

To make games, programming is definitely necessary.

Based on the J language research group, Wang Shoujue assigned four computer science graduate students to assist Wu Xi in his research.

Seeing Li Mu coming in, Wu Xi immediately stopped scratching his hair, stood up and said with a wry smile:
"Hurry, hurry, there is something wrong with this code, I need you to take a look."

"We used a computer to simulate the effect of running on the handheld game console, but we couldn't even get the initial page to work."

The new graduate students in the laboratory looked curiously at their group leader asking a young man for advice.

Li Mu looked at the code they wrote, took out a pen and paper, and rewrote it:
// Initialize the interface

void InitInterface()
{
color(7); //Set the color to white

for(int i - 0; i < ROW; i++)

……

It took Li Mu five or six minutes to finish writing the code, and then he put it on the table for them to look at.

Although he could have written the entire Tetris program himself, that wasn't the way to go.

This group of people can be said to be his future game development team. If they can't even handle Tetris, how can they handle classic games like King of Fighters and Street Fighter in the future.

After reading for a while, Huang Kun looked up and said with emotion: "It has to be you. You write so briefly and well, much better than us."

"Just practice more. If you have any questions..." Li Mu was just about to teach these new graduate students when he suddenly felt a chill behind him.

Guan Jianmin appeared at the door without knowing when, looked at him dimly, and said, "It's time to rest."

"Look at you, you're such a killjoy. Everyone is still working hard on research, how can I take a break?" Li Mu pulled Wu Xi and others into his battle line without leaving any trace.

But what he didn't expect was that the next moment Wu Xi hurriedly waved his hand and said:
"Li Mu, please don't make things difficult for me. Your time was set by the director and others."
