The Red Era, the Opening University Speech

Chapter 16 Damn Academic Bully!
The country also has professional researchers studying this area, but there has been no progress so far.

I didn’t expect that it took three students to figure it out!

Seeing Chu Fei's expression, Zhang Kai and Li Jian looked at each other and smiled knowingly.

Chu Fei quickly came back to his senses and said:
"I believe in you. Don't slack off. Test the lifespan and luminous efficiency of the bulbs as soon as possible."

After Chu Fei finished speaking, he glanced at the simple laboratory and said:
"The experimental conditions in this classroom are a bit poor. I will go and apply to the dean to get a professional laboratory for you." Chu Fei realized that the improvement results were very practical and immediately took them seriously.

"Thank you, Teacher Chu!"

"Thank you, Teacher Chu!"

Zhang Kai and Li Jian thanked him in unison, their faces full of joy.

That is a professional laboratory. Many students of Beijing Institute of Technology may not have the opportunity to enter it even a few times after graduating from university.

Chu Fei smiled and said, "This is what you deserve."

"By the way, where is Li Mu? You are conducting experiments here, why is he not here?"

Zhang Kai said: "Teacher Chu, Li Mu is still sick, so we let him go home and rest."

"But the principle and plan were all thought up by Li Mu. We just spent some time on the experiment. In terms of contribution, he is the one who made the greatest contribution."

He was still a little shocked when he heard that it was Li Mu who proposed the principle and plan.

Li Mu has more and more labels: first in the individual competition, a student favored by the dean, and very talented in engineering...

Although I knew he was a genius, how long had it been since he had made the improvement to the electric drill? And he had made such a great achievement again! This talent was amazing!
Chu Fei encouraged him a few more times before saying, "You guys continue with your experiment. I'll report your achievements to the dean!"

……

Kyoto Institute of Technology, Dean's Office.

After Chu Fei reported the situation, the dean, who was originally sitting, stood up suddenly and said, "What you said is true!"

"It's true, and it was the result of the first place in the last mechanical design competition, which was created by Li Mu and two classmates!" Chu Fei said excitedly.

The dean was moved and said, "Great, great! Our Beijing Institute of Technology has produced a once-in-a-century genius!"

"This Li Mu is really good at giving me surprises! The improved incandescent lamp can be used in mining, agriculture, and home use. Once it is fully rolled out, it will be a major improvement that will affect the entire country!"

"What's more, our country is short of electricity! If the whole country uses improved incandescent lamps, the electricity resources saved each year will not be a small amount!"

The dean paced back and forth excitedly, and even after confirming it many times, he still couldn't believe it.

Chu Fei struck while the iron was hot: "Dean, Li Mu and his team need a professional laboratory to do the test."

"I will write the note myself, and you can take them there later. Never mind, I'll do it myself!" The dean was in high spirits, and after saying this he walked out quickly.

……

As soon as the get out of class was over, Li Mu went home and just missed the chance for the dean who was going to look for him excitedly.

But if he knew, he would probably run faster.

After dinner, Li Mu returned to his room and continued to send messages to Ask:

"Asker, I have a friend who needs information on the preparation of single crystal silicon. Can you help me collect it?"

"Especially those from the 60s. My friend said we need more details. Please!"

Ask still did not respond.

Li Mu guessed that Ask was busy with something, so he didn't send any more messages.

Instead, continue watching videos to learn.

"It's difficult!"

After watching for a few minutes, Li Mu couldn't help complaining.

After graduating from high school, I had already returned that little knowledge to my teachers.

He studied liberal arts and didn't know much about science. It was almost a death-killing task for him to tackle such a hard-core subject as mechanical engineering.

"Is it something people should learn about molecular numbers and atomic structure?"

The more Li Mu looked, the more desperate he became.

It was fine at the beginning, the explanation was relatively simple.

But in the following videos, professional terms kept popping up, and he could only stop and look them up in order to understand them.

Moreover, many nouns have not appeared yet, so Li Mu has to be careful to distinguish them to avoid saying them out loud one day. Comparing them one by one, the amount of learning increased dramatically.

No matter how difficult it is, you have to learn!
“Only after going through a lot of hardships can one maintain the image of an engineering genius!”

"Damn that nerd!" Li Mu gritted his teeth and continued reading.

Before I knew it, an afternoon had passed.

"Sigh~"

Li Mu put down the pencil he was using to take notes and stretched his sore neck.

I didn't feel anything when I was concentrating, but now that I relax, my back and waist ache.

I glanced out the window and saw that it was already dark.

"Has it been so long?"

In my mind, Ask still hadn't replied.

Li Mu closed his notebook, stood up and walked out of the room, intending to take a rest.

In the large courtyard outside, several children were playing and chattering:
"Hey, look at the fight!"

"I'm not afraid of you~"

Two little boys with rosy cheeks were hitting each other with branches, getting covered in dust.

When adults come home from get off work, whether they are greeting or chatting, they always ask first: "Have you eaten?"

"I've eaten, how about you?"

"Eat it right away."

In this age when everyone is hungry, the most popular greeting is "Have you eaten?"

Li Mu walked to the middle courtyard and saw his uncle queuing up to get water with a bucket.

"Xiao Mu, why did you come out?"

Seeing Li Mu coming, his uncle greeted him.

"I'm a little tired, so I came out for a walk."

Li Mu responded.

"Yes, it's good for you to take a walk. It's not good for your health to study all the time." His aunt was tidying up the clothes that were hung out to dry. When she saw Li Mu, she smiled and showed concern.

Li Mu took a walk and felt much more relaxed, so he planned to go back to the house to continue studying.

When I reached the door and was about to enter the house, I suddenly saw Grandma Li talking to a woman.

Li Mu looked at her curiously. The woman was wearing a blue floral jacket and her hair was braided, shiny black.

"Who is this? What are you doing here looking for Grandma Li?"

Li Mu moved closer and heard the woman pleading in a low voice:
"Grandma Li, please lend me some kerosene. I will definitely buy some and return it to you tomorrow when the supply and marketing cooperative opens."

There were tears in the woman's beautiful peach blossom eyes, as if she was about to cry at any moment.

Grandma Li felt a little soft-hearted when she saw this. She thought for a moment and said:
"Okay, but you must bring it tomorrow. My Xiao Mu will need it when he is studying at night and there is a power outage. We can't delay it."

When the woman saw that Grandma Li agreed, she thanked her and then left with the kerosene that Grandma Li had brought.

Grandma Li turned her head and found Li Mu standing at the door looking at her. She said, "Xiao Mu, are you hungry? Grandma will go help your aunt cook. We will be able to eat soon."

"I'm not hungry. Who was that just now? What were they doing here?" Li Mu shook his head and asked curiously.

Grandma Li sighed and said:
"She is the newly married daughter-in-law of the Jia family next door. Her family ran out of kerosene, so she came to borrow some from her relatives, but no one has much these days."

"Maybe someone heard that we have a college student like you at home and that we light a lot of kerosene lamps at night, so he came to borrow some from me."

"Alas, this is a poor girl. Her mother-in-law orders her around every day. Her life is not easy."

Grandma Li thought he was interested in these things and said:

"If you ask me, she must have done something wrong, otherwise why would she always be criticized?"

"It's also the fault of the Jia family's kid who has a soft personality. He never said anything every time his wife was bullied. Jia Xudong's mother has been targeting him for this several times. I heard that someone even saw Qin Huaiyu crying secretly."

Qin Huaixu?
