The Red Era, the Opening University Speech

Chapter 50 The success of the single crystal furnace is a good start

In the open space, there were dozens of benches, and nearly a hundred people were sitting in this simple meeting place.

Li Mu took a quick look and was surprised to see that everyone was wearing Zhongshan suits. No wonder they had all been through so many checks and there were so many guards in the base.

Faced with this scene, Li Mu decisively decided to find a place to squat and be an invisible person.

However, at this moment, everyone who was originally sitting in the meeting room suddenly stood up from their benches and faced the same direction.

"What's going on?" Li Mu looked at Qian Shuyan in confusion and found that he was actually doing the same actions as those people.

Before Li Mu could figure out the reason, a black car slowly drove in from outside the base.

As the car drove in, the crowd in the venue surged and walked towards the car.

"Who is this person?" Li Mu looked at the car curiously.

At this moment, a person who was squeezed in the back and couldn't get forward suddenly shouted: "Hello, leader!"

As if some kind of switch had been triggered, everyone shouted in unison: "Hello, leader!"

"Leader!" Li Mu's eyes widened, and an indescribable excitement suddenly surged in his heart: "Could it be... Could it be..."

Li Mu stretched his neck and stood on tiptoe to look into the crowd, and finally saw the figure surrounded by people.

"No doubt it's the leader!" Li Mu trembled all over.

This leader who dedicated his entire life to the country and the people appeared vividly before Li Mu's eyes.

Li Mu's throat felt a little dry after watching countless images in movies, TV series, and documentaries.

However, nothing could make him more excited than this moment, and even his body couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Qian Shuyan turned his head, looked at Li Mu, and said with a smile: "How do you feel when you meet the leader for the first time?"

"Dean, you've kept it a secret." Li Mu finally came to his senses at this moment, but he still couldn't hide his excitement.

It was a pity that the leader was already surrounded by people, otherwise Li Mu would have squeezed in and shook hands with him.

Qian Shuyan smiled, not surprised by Li Mu's performance, and continued: "Don't get excited yet, there are things that will make you more excited."

"This time the leader is visiting the research base and wants you to accompany him. Come with me."

Li Mu was so shocked by the news that he stood there stupidly.

"Can I...can I do it?" Li Mu swallowed several times, only to find that his throat was so dry that there was no moisture left.

He is nothing but a thief who plagiarizes the achievements of later generations. How can he be qualified to stand beside the leader!

Qian Shuyan didn't know what Li Mu was thinking at the moment, and thought that Li Mu was nervous, so he smiled and encouraged: "Of course you can do it, the leaders have long known that our Beijing Institute of Technology has a genius like you, and have been paying attention to you for a long time!"

"I specifically asked you to accompany me for this offline crystal pulling ceremony. Otherwise, why do you think I said you had to come?"

Li Mu was shocked and looked towards his leader in disbelief.

The leader actually remembered him!
……

The leaders took their seats one by one.

Because Li Mu was young, he sat at the back and could only watch his leader's back from a distance.

Soon, a researcher in a white research suit walked up to the podium and announced:

"Welcome all leaders to the offline crystal pulling ceremony of this single crystal furnace. On behalf of all the researchers in the research base..."

The host briefly said the polite words without any hesitation, and then announced loudly: "The crystal pulling of this single crystal furnace has been completed!"

On the podium, following the host's voice, a dozen researchers began to operate.

Countless people in the stands were eagerly waiting for the final result.

In fact, the time it takes for a single crystal furnace to pull crystals is more than 60 hours. This trial production certainly could not have started with the feeding of materials. The feeding and processing had already started two days ago!

……

At the exit of the single crystal furnace, pieces of single crystal silicon were transported out. Seeing this scene, some people in the audience began to applaud enthusiastically.

Although it has not been tested yet, from the moment this machine is turned on and single crystal silicon rods are produced - the country's semiconductor level has taken a big step forward!

The host's voice was also a little excited, and he immediately announced the next link: "Next is the purity test of the silicon rods!"

Several researchers began picking up single crystal silicon and testing its purity.

This process took longer, but everyone in the audience waited patiently.

After spending nearly fifteen minutes in this tense atmosphere, the researcher ran back with a report in his hand, shouting excitedly:

"It worked! It worked!"

"P-shaped silicon rod, rounded diameter 150MM, square body size 125mm, square body verticality ≤90mm..."

"Purity is 7 nines, the best in the world!"

With a loud shout, the venue was completely ignited.

The leader stood up first and applauded the researchers, and then everyone stood up and applauded.

The applause was like a huge wave, beating Li Mu's heart.

He saw some people clapping and cheering, some clapping and laughing, and some people were so excited that they burst into tears and hugged and cried with the people next to them:

"I'm so happy! We finally have something on the same level as Emperor M!"

"So what if Big Brother is gone? We can do it ourselves!"

"Let those foreign devils see that we, the Xia people, are no worse than anyone else!"

……

Everyone's face was filled with excitement and happy smiles.

In Li Mu's heart, the patriotic spirit that had been suppressed for a long time due to the threat to his life, began to beat violently at this moment.

Li Mu clapped his hands desperately, as if at this moment, he had become one of the people around him.

No, Li Muben is one of them!
……

The enthusiastic applause that lasted for nearly ten minutes gradually subsided until the leader walked onto the stage.

The leader took the microphone and said:

"The success of the single crystal furnace is a good start."

"Our country is very backward. Compared with industrially developed countries, we are not only economically backward, but also our living standards and scientific and cultural levels are not high."

"To get rid of this backward state, we must build a complete economic system, which includes industry, agriculture, finance, trade, culture, education, science, national defense and other aspects..."

Li Mu listened to his leader's speech and became excited again unconsciously.

That sense of historical mission and responsibility was like a heavy mountain pressing on his shoulders, even making it difficult for him to breathe.

"Was what I did before really right?" Li Mu couldn't help but doubt his own thoughts and fell into deep thought.

It was not until the speech ended and applause broke out again that Li Mu came back to his senses.

Qian Shuyan looked at the dazed Li Mu, thinking that he was very excited, and said with a smile: "Li Mu, the leader is going to visit the production line, and you are the person the leader has nominated to accompany him. Go quickly, don't keep the leader waiting."

"Yeah." Li Mu nodded heavily, took a deep breath, and walked towards the leader.

Because he was just an accompanying person, even though he was closer, Li Mu still didn't have the chance to talk to his leader.

But even if he was just following his leader, Li Mu's heart was about to jump out of his chest with excitement.

Watching the leader gently expressing his concern for the lives and research of those researchers, if you were not clear about the leader's identity, you would probably think he was just a kind elder.
