The Red Era, the Opening University Speech

Chapter 194: Young and promising, young and promising!

After the meeting, a document titled "Regarding Li Mu's Speech at the Institute of Computing Technology" was quickly submitted and placed on the desk of the superior leader.

After reading it carefully, he couldn't help but praise it highly:

"This Li Mu has a very unique vision. If supercomputing can be applied to so many fields, it will obviously enhance our country's scientific and technological strength."

"Especially the idea of ​​simulating the giant mushroom experiment, which is bound to play a huge role now and in the future."

"Xiao Song, go and inform the Institute of Computing Technology, no, go and inform the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and tell them to fully support any research that Li Mu wants to do, no matter what it is."

This document fully demonstrated Li Mu's forward-looking vision in the application of supercomputing, and once again refreshed his superiors' understanding of Li Mu's talent.

When the idea of ​​supercomputers was first proposed, a large number of people, including him, were skeptical.

But under the leadership of Li Mu, not only was it accomplished, the peak computing speed was close to 110 million times.

It is undoubtedly a blessing for the Xia Kingdom to have such scientists.

From now on, even if Li Mu wants to build a computer that can run at 10 billion times per second, he will no longer doubt whether it is feasible.

It might be impossible for others, but for Li Mu, no matter how impossible the idea is, he is willing to give it a chance!

……

Just when the superior leader was very happy and asked Secretary Song to inform the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

At about the same time, Deng Xian, who had hurried over by plane from the northwest, arrived at the gate of the courtyard.

When the superior leader found out, he met with him immediately.

As soon as they met, seeing that Dengxian was obviously thinner and more weathered than the last time they met, the superior leader couldn't help but hold his hand and said, "Comrade Dengxian, you have worked hard!"

"For the country, for the people, it's not hard!" Dengxian had thousands of words to say and ask, but when he heard this, his eyes reddened, he lowered his head, and almost cried.

With the care from their superiors, no matter how hard or tired they are, it is all worth it.

……

After expressing concern about the lives and research of researchers in the northwest, the superiors asked about Dengxian's return.

He knew very well how intense the research in the northwest was. Unless it was something extremely important, Deng Xian would not have left at this time.

——He also had a vague guess that it might be about supercomputing.

The result was as expected. County Magistrate Deng said directly:
"Leader, the main reason I came back this time is to learn about the latest supercomputer developed by our country, and to meet Professor Li who is in charge of the research."

"Thanks to him, we had calculators and then the Type 01 computer, which greatly improved our research speed."

"This time, they have developed a supercomputer that can perform 100 million operations per second. This may completely solve the problem of insufficient computing power in our research. We must thank him very much."

“Haha, then I’m afraid you should add one more thank you.” Upon hearing this, the superior leader picked up the document next to him with a smile and handed it over.

County Magistrate Deng was stunned for a moment, and only when he saw his superior nod did he take the book and start reading it.

After reading it, he held the document in both hands, his eyes revealing an extremely shocked expression.

……

Here, after leaving the Semiconductor Research Institute, Li Mu went to the Beijing Institute of Technology.

The game R&D center has been established, and Zhang Kai and Li Jian have also joined it.

However, they have not graduated yet, so they can only spare time on Saturdays and Sundays to come to the center to study.

When he just arrived, a military transport vehicle just stopped under the game development center, attracting a lot of students to watch.

Then, four soldiers jumped out of the car and carried things into the car box by box.

This look made the students even more curious.

Li Mu was about to walk over when he was stopped by a student who said, "Don't go. You are not allowed to approach the front."

"Thank you for the reminder." Li Mu glanced at the student who spoke, and then continued walking forward.

Seeing him rushing forward regardless of anything, the student couldn't help but say, "Hey, you, why don't you listen..."

Before he could finish his words, he saw Li Mu go up and be surrounded by a group of people as he walked into the game development center that they could not even approach.

……

After entering the center, Li Mu went to the computer room to take a look first.

Two researchers from the Semiconductor Research Institute who were in charge of the installation saw him coming and immediately put down what they were doing and greeted Li Mu.

That respectful attitude surprised students like Zhang Kai and Li Jian.

Even Qian Shuyan who was standing by was stunned. He didn't expect that Li Mu could receive such high recognition from the researchers at the Semiconductor Research Institute.

You have to know that both of them are at least ten years older than Li Mu. It's not easy to humble yourself and make friends with them, let alone respect them.

Li Mu smiled and replied, then looked at Qian Shuyan who was a little stunned, and said: "Dean, I have an idea to develop the game development center for all students in our school. What do you think?"

"But the Type 01 computer is such a precious thing. What if it is taken away by enemy spies..." Qian Shuyan came to his senses immediately after hearing this, but his eyes were full of hesitation.

The one at China Europe International Business School is a treasure. Even if professors from other schools want to borrow it, they have to make various requests and guarantees. Not only do they let students use it to develop games, they also give it to all students in the school. It's extremely luxurious.

Li Mu said:
"You can rest assured about this. It won't be long before our country will have more advanced computers, and the confidentiality level of this computer will be greatly reduced."

"I did this mainly to allow students in the school to have access to computers and have a certain understanding of them."

"In the future, computers will definitely have a huge impact on our production and life. Understanding them earlier will be of great help to them."

Of course, he had considered the issue of confidentiality.

But no matter how important confidentiality is, it is far less important than popularizing the concept of computers.

Large-scale integration reached 3, and the development of personal computers was also included in his agenda. With the help of foreign exchange earnings, he planned to complete the popularization in the production field within 5 to 7 years.

By this time, the domestic employment problem will be almost solved, automated production will be rapidly developed, and computers will begin to be used on a large scale in the industrial field.

This will inevitably require enough computer talents.

However, if there is no actual practice and only reading textbooks, the talents trained may not be able to meet this requirement.

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Qian Shuyan agreed with Li Mu's idea without hesitation.

Although Li Mu is young, he is a well-deserved authority in the development of computing technology, which is a consensus in the academic circle.

……

After discussing with Qian Shuyan, Li Mu thought that since he was already here, he might as well teach the students at the Game R&D Center.

While teaching how to use the Type 01 computer, he also talked about future game development methods.

The current game development must still focus on being simple and easy to use, first expanding the game market and establishing the reputation of the handheld game console.

……

After class, Li Mu packed up his things and prepared to return to HKUST.

Just as he walked out of the game development center, he suddenly saw Guan Jianmin walking towards him with someone.

The man looked familiar, and Li Mu paused. The two walked up to him, and Guan Jianmin introduced him, "Mr. Dengxian, this is Li Mu, the chief designer and chief consultant of the supercomputer."

After hearing the introduction, Deng Xian looked at Li Mu in front of him. Even though he had heard from many people that he was very young, when he actually saw him, he still found it incredible.

Walking in the university, judging from his appearance, he is no different from the other college students around him.

"You are young and promising! You are young and promising! I am glad to meet you, Expert Li. I am County Magistrate Deng!" He stretched out his hand and shook hands tightly with Li Mu.

He got permission to talk to Li Mu about the giant mushroom research, but he couldn't say it in public. He could only express his gratitude with a handshake.

"You're welcome." The moment Li Mu heard Deng Xian's name, he immediately remembered the other party's identity.

He was also one of the contributors to the two bombs and one satellite, and a famous mushroom physicist in later generations.

……

There were too many people around and it was not a good place to talk, so Li Mu took Deng Xian to a secluded pavilion on the campus.

As soon as he came in, County Deng couldn't help but ask Li Mu, "Is it true that the supercomputer you mentioned can simulate the giant mushroom experiment?"

"Of course, but with the current technical conditions and computer computing power, it is probably unrealistic to achieve a complete simulation. It will take at least a year to achieve an approximate simulation." Li Mu nodded and said.

Although a supercomputer with a speed of 100 million times per second is a dimensionality reduction blow to all current computers, it is still not enough to simulate the giant mushroom.

County Deng said happily:
"That's enough. Even a partial simulation is fine."

"You don't know that the development of giant mushrooms is not an easy task, especially the radiation problem. The impact on humans is almost irreversible."

"Some time ago, a young man who had just come to participate in the experiment rushed into the radiation zone in order to obtain first-hand experimental data."

"Although this spirit is commendable, I don't want to see this scene. They still have a long life ahead of them. It's not worth it to take risks just for a piece of experimental data!"

At the end of his speech, tears welled up in his eyes.

Li Mu looked at his expression and felt sad.

This generation of scientists is truly willing to risk their lives for research.

"I will definitely develop a supercomputer that can fully simulate the giant mushroom experiment as soon as possible and will not let them take this risky research again." Li Mu said solemnly.

Since he has the ability, he should assume this responsibility.

County magistrate Deng was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then he smiled broadly.

……

After chatting with Deng Xian for a long time, Li Mu did not deliberately ask about the research progress of the big mushroom, but he could hear from his words that it has entered a critical period of breakthrough.

Calculators, Type 01 computers, and supercomputers that have not yet been put into use have allowed Big Mushroom's research speed to continuously leap forward.

If all goes well, maybe we can grow big mushrooms next year.

This is of great significance as it happens more than two years in advance.

County magistrate Deng smiled and said to Li Mu, "In the future, we will send some computing tasks that require a long period of time for the Type 01 computer to be completed to your Semiconductor Research Institute."

"If you have any questions, I'll have to trouble you."

"It's not a big deal. This is what I should do." Li Mu smiled and shook his head.

However, when he heard Deng Xian say that he would send the computing task to Kyoto, a piece of information flashed in his mind.

"Okay, there are still many things waiting for me to deal with over there. Let's meet again if there is a chance. I will treat you to a drink then." Deng Xian laughed, and then he shook Li Mu's hand vigorously before turning and leaving.

……

Inside the pavilion.

After Deng Xian left, Li Mu sat on a stone bench and fell into deep thought.

He was considering whether to persuade Ask to go to Emperor M's big mushroom physics laboratory.

If a supercomputer wants to make a breakthrough, even if it works very hard, it will be difficult to accomplish it in a short period of time.

But if we had information from later generations, it would definitely be a lot easier.

And now he is also studying applied physics. Although it has not yet involved the research of atomic energy, it is still related to it.

Thinking of this, he tried to send a message to Ask: "Are you there?"

The message was sent for a long time, but there was no reply.

Li Mu guessed that it was because he had fed Ask too much chicken soup before, and Ask might be working hard on research right now.

……

Back to the Semiconductor Research Institute.

Li Mu was planning to find Wu Youxiang and Wang Shoujue to discuss the subsequent development of new chips.

However, as soon as I walked into the institute, I saw happy smiles on everyone's face, even happier than the day when the supercomputer was successful.

Just as he was wondering, he saw Wang Ya coming over and asked, "Is there some good news? Why are you all so happy?"

"Didn't you know that the leader is coming to visit our entire supercomputer research team?" Wang Ya's face was full of an uncontrollable smile.

She has never met her superior in real life in her life.

Li Mu was stunned when he heard this, then suddenly said, "So that's how it is."

Only when the superior leaders come to express their condolences can the entire semiconductor research institute be so excited.

"Aren't you looking forward to it? He's your leader." Wang Ya couldn't help asking when she saw that he looked calm.

Being able to meet with your superiors is an opportunity that many people will never have in their lifetime!
"I am looking forward to it, but I still have things to do now." Li Mu nodded slightly, looked at Wang Ya whose face was flushed with excitement, thought for a moment and said:

"Rather than expectations, I hope to produce more results, show them to the leader, and let him know that I have lived up to his expectations."

He always remembered the promise he had made to his superiors.

Wang Ya's eyes lit up and she asked, "Have you met the leader? Does he look like the photo? Did you talk?"

"I'll tell you slowly later. I'll go find Director Wu and Director Wang first." Li Mu was about to say this when he suddenly saw Wu Youxiang and Wang Shoujue walking over. He smiled apologetically and walked over.

He first called the two of them and said, "Director Wu, Director Wang, wait a moment."

Hearing the voice, Wu Youxiang and Wang Shoujue, who were walking forward while talking, stopped.

Seeing that it was Li Mu, they smiled happily and said:
"I'm looking for you. The superiors are coming to visit us this time, and you have to accompany them throughout the trip."

"This matter cannot be declined. It must be you."

"In the entire supercomputer research team, no one knows the research situation better than you. Others can't do it even if they want to."

"Okay, no problem, leave it to me." Li Mu agreed without hesitation.

As the chief designer and chief consultant, the only person with a comparable status to him is Yan Peilin. But he couldn't let Yan Peilin, who is already in his fifties or sixties, accompany him to give explanations!
Seeing that Li Mu readily agreed, Wu Youxiang and Wang Shoujue, who were ready to persuade him, were stunned.

But they thought this was reasonable. Otherwise, if Li Mu didn't do it, who else would have the nerve to do it?
