The Red Era, the Opening University Speech

Chapter 49 Single crystal furnace developed successfully!
"The next step is consolidation." Li Mu opened his notebook, intending to sort out the knowledge he had memorized in his mind.

It's not enough to just remember these things, you have to try to understand them thoroughly.

"I don't dare to think about becoming a scientist, but staying in school and becoming a teacher should be a good choice." Li Mu is making plans for the future.

If you can stay in school as a teacher, it will not only be respectable but also have a good salary.

Although the special period later may be a bit dangerous, as long as we are careful, it shouldn’t be a big deal... right.

Just as Li Mu was thinking about the future, a man walked up to his desk and tapped it lightly with his fingers.

"Dean?" Li Mu raised his head and found it was Qian Shuyan.

Qian Shuyan gestured to Li Mu, indicating him not to disturb other students, and then took Li Mu out of the library.

Walking on the tree-lined path on campus, Qian Shuyan smiled and asked, "How is Li Mu's study and life recently? Is there any difficulty?"

"Dean, I'm fine. I don't have any difficulties. Thank you for your help regarding my aunt's matter." Li Mu said quickly.

Qian Shuyan laughed: "It's good that you're fine. As for the last incident, I just passed on a message, and it was mainly the First Ministry of Machine Building that made the effort."

If this matter could not be resolved, he originally planned to report to the Ministry of Culture and Education and ask the higher-ups to negotiate.

However, even he was surprised by the speed of the Ministry of First Machine Industry's actions.

A deputy factory director just did it when he said so.

If the director of the third bedding factory had not found any problems, he would have probably been in trouble as well.

"Thank you again." Li Mu said.

"Alright, alright, stop thanking me. I have something serious to discuss with you." Qian Shuyan brought Li Mu to an open space, looked around, and made sure that no one was following them.

Qian Shuyan then lowered his voice and said, "The single crystal furnace has been successfully manufactured!"

Hearing this news, Li Mu was shocked and said in disbelief: "So fast?"

Although the domestic conditions have the foundation to do it, it has only been a short time.

Qian Shuyan smiled and said, "You probably don't know this. After you submitted your blueprint, it received great attention. Dozens of relevant experts worked tirelessly to get it done."

"This speed is considered slow!"

"I came to you to tell you that tomorrow we should pack up and go to the research base to participate in the offline crystal pulling trial of the single crystal furnace!"

Qian Shuyan's face was full of joy. His students had achieved good results, and as the principal, he was also proud of it.

"This... Dean, I'm afraid..." Li Mu subconsciously wanted to refuse.

I am planning to hide my shortcomings and slowly reduce the impression of my genius in other people's eyes. Wouldn't it be a step in the wrong direction to participate in offline crystal pulling activities?

Qian Shuyan seemed to have discovered Li Mu's thoughts a long time ago, and said directly: "You can't be absent this time. As the designer of the blueprint, many people are waiting to meet you!"

"And the researchers at the research base also want to meet you, the young genius!"

"And this time, there will be important leaders visiting us for crystal pulling. This kind of opportunity is rare!"

Li Mu looked at Qian Shuyan's expression as if he would force him to go if he didn't go, so he had to swallow the words of refusal.

The main reason was that the news was so sudden that he couldn't even pretend to be sick.

If I pretend to be sick now, it would be too obvious.

Li Mu said helplessly: "Okay, Dean, I'll come to see you when you go tomorrow."

"We'll set off at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning. Come to my office and we'll take a car." Qian Shuyan smiled when he heard that.

……

The next day, early.

At 6 o'clock sharp, Li Mu got up on time.

Although he was going to participate in the offline crystal pulling of the single crystal silicon furnace, Li Mu did not change his daily routine. He washed, watched videos, did exercises, and read books...

It was about half an hour before 8 o'clock when Li Mu stood up and went to Qian Shuyan's office. ...

A green GAZ-69 jeep was parked downstairs in the administrative building.

Qian Shuyan and two guards stood by and talked.

Li Mu hurried over to apologize: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Dean, I'm late."

"It's only a few hours now. I couldn't wait and came down first. It's not late at all. Let's go." Qian Shuyan smiled and asked Li Mu to get in the car.

Li Mu got into the car and found that he and Qian Shuyan were the only ones there. He immediately asked curiously, "Dean, isn't Professor Huang going to attend?"

"We were invited, but Professor Huang was busy with cutting equipment and didn't plan to go, so he declined," Qian Shuyan said.

Li Mu understood immediately and said, "So that's how it is. I guess there has been some progress in the research on cutting equipment, so Professor Huang can't leave."

"Oh? Is there any progress on the cutting equipment?" Qian Shuyan's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this.

If the cutting equipment is successful, it will be another major earthquake for the domestic semiconductor industry.

"With an expert of Professor Huang's caliber, I think we'll get results soon." Li Mu said with a smile.

……

As the two were talking, the jeep started.

It was the first time for Li Mu to ride in a car in this era, and he looked around with a bit of curiosity.

But not long after driving, Li Mu felt a strong stench of exhaust coming from his mouth and nose, which made him want to vomit.

Qian Shuyan saw that Li Mu looked unhappy and asked with concern: "Li Mu, are you okay?"

"It's okay, I just feel a little carsick." Li Mu waved his hands and subconsciously held his breath, but the stench still lingered.

Fortunately, the car was speeding up and most of the smell was quickly blown away by the wind.

But before Li Mu had time to breathe a sigh of relief, the car started to shake violently again after leaving the city and reaching the suburbs.

The roads in the city were not noticeably smooth, but once you reached the suburbs, the roads became full of potholes, almost shaking Li Mu's internal organs out.

Li Mu gritted his teeth and persevered, and after a bumpy ride for several hours, he arrived at a barren mountain.

The guard drove the car, turning left and right, and finally turned into a mountain road.

Not long after driving, we encountered a checkpoint.

The guarding soldiers were all armed with live ammunition and had murderous looks in their eyes. They were obviously the elite among the elite!
Li Mu's heart trembled slightly, and he thought to himself: "It seems that we are almost there!"

Li Mu and Qian Shuyan were released only after their identities were verified.

After seven checks, the jeep finally stopped in front of a big gate hidden in the shade of trees.

"We're here!" Qian Shuyan looked at the research base in front of him with emotion.

There are so many guards standing at the entrance that it seems more like a military base than a research base.

But at present, when enemy spies are active and making small moves constantly, this kind of protection is extremely necessary.

"Is this the research base?" Li Mu asked curiously as he looked at the bustling research base.

Qian Shuyan smiled and said, "Yes, it's getting late, let's go in quickly, maybe we can meet some acquaintances."

After saying that, Qian Shuyan took Li Mu and walked into the experimental base.

There are several three-story laboratory buildings in the base, with walls painted green camouflage, and researchers in white research suits come in and out from time to time.

In the middle of the buildings, there is an open space with a shed.

There was a huge machine placed on the open space, which was a single crystal furnace.

There was also a banner hanging at the back: Warmly celebrating the successful development of the single crystal furnace and the trial production of the single crystal furnace.
