The Red Era, the Opening University Speech

Chapter 65: Really a Young Hero (Seeking Follow-up Reading)
"This..." Li Mu looked at Director He's reaction, hesitated for a moment, and then said:
"It's not a big deal, I just want my uncle to help me make three gear transmissions and three micro motor assists."

"No problem. I don't think it's a big deal." Director He agreed immediately, and then asked curiously, "But what is this gear transmission? Why haven't I heard of it?"

He knew a little about micro motors, but he had never heard of gear transmissions.

"It's the parts that are installed on the bicycle. I tinkered with it myself." Li Mu took out the blueprint and handed it to the other party with a smile.

Director He took it and looked at it. He was immediately amazed and thought to himself that she was worthy of being a college student of Beijing Institute of Technology. The picture was so beautiful.

The most important thing is that with his more than ten years of experience, he can't see any problems. It's not the kind of thing that looks good but is useless.

"Otherwise, how can people be valued by the higher-ups?" Director He sighed in his heart, thought for a while and said, "Okay, Lao Li, you can ask the seventh-level master in our factory to do it, and say that I approved it."

"Thank you, Director." Li Mu thanked.

Director He returned the blueprint to Li Mu and waved his hand with satisfaction: "Don't be polite, I'm leaving."

After saying that, he returned to the factory.

……

When Li Mu saw Director He leaving, he handed the blueprint to his uncle Li Jun and took out two 10-yuan bills from his pocket.

"Uncle, this is the money for materials. If there is any extra, you can use it to buy some things. Give it to the old craftsmen who helped you. You can't let them work for nothing all the time."

Li Mu stuffed the money into Li Jun's hand.

Asking for help once is fine, but if it happens twice or three times, why would others help you?

Li Jun quickly stuffed the money back: "No, no, how can I take your money."

"Uncle, just take it." Li Mu put the money into Li Jun's pocket. "I might ask you for help in the future. Do you have to pay for it yourself every time?"

"Don't worry, I still have money on me."

As he spoke, Li Mu took out a few colorful coins from his pocket.

All together, it’s more than ten yuan.

Li Jun's eyes widened and he asked in surprise, "Xiao Mu, how did you get so much money?"

Li Jun knew that Li Mu gave all his bonus to Grandma Li last time.

Although Grandma Li usually gives pocket money, she won’t give too much at once.

This amount of money is almost equal to his monthly salary!

Li Mu said, "I've made some things recently, and the school has given me a bonus, so just take it and be at ease, uncle."

"No matter how polite you are, I won't dare to ask you for help again in the future."

After hearing this, Li Jun took the money hesitantly.

……

Two days later, downstairs in the dormitory.

After the unremitting efforts of Li Mu and his two companions, three extremely cool mountain bikes came out.

The smooth line design, tough structure, and the U-shaped micro motor assist with exposed gears mounted on both sides of the rear wheels are full of mechanical beauty.

The students passing by couldn't help but look sideways.

"After working so hard, I finally finished it!" Li Mu looked at the mountain bike he made with his own hands, feeling a sense of accomplishment.

"Hurry, let's try riding it!" Zhang Kai was already rubbing his hands excitedly, his face full of impatience.

These days, he participated in the whole production process. After understanding the principles of the transmission and micro motor auxiliary device clearly, he was looking forward to the finished product.

If the expected effect is really achieved, defeating Xue Qing will be easy.

"Give it a try." Li Jian's eyes also lit up.

Li Mu smiled and said, "What are we waiting for? Since the weather is good today, let's do the test at the same time." After that, he rode on first.

Zhang Kai and Li Jian followed closely behind, riding their mountain bikes.

Li Mu rode five or six meters away and was about to ask them how they felt, but he found that the two of them had not caught up with him at all.

Looking back, I couldn't help but laugh.

The bicycle Zhang Kai was riding was as slow as a turtle, and Li Jian was teaching him to pedal like a Hot Wheels, but the bicycle still couldn't go any faster.

"Stop pedaling, the transmission is out of adjustment!" Li Mu smiled as he pushed the bike over. "On a flat road, just use a small sprocket in the front, and a sprocket between 17 and 21 in the back. Just pick a number in this range."

Zhang Kai and Li Jian listened to Li Mu's instructions, adjusted the transmission, and pedaled the pedal, and they saw a difference.

Step on the pedal again and you will move forward like flying.

"Wow~ too fast~, Li Mu, hurry up and catch up." The two of them shouted while riding forward, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Li Mu quickly instructed: "Don't just play around, don't forget to test. First measure the data on the flat road, and then we can go test in the suburbs."

"Okay, okay!" Zhang Kai and Li Jian responded quickly, but they didn't listen at all and rode their bicycles happily around the school.

Li Mu smiled helplessly upon seeing this. He could only let them go and test it himself first.

……

The bicycle sped through the school and soon attracted the attention of many people.

Even Qian Shuyan and Professor Wang, who were in the office, heard the noise and came out.

The two men were accompanied by a middle-aged man wearing a suit, whose attire was out of place in the country at that time.

The three of them were surprised to see Li Mu riding his bicycle slowly by.

The middle-aged man had just followed Qian Shuyan out, but when he saw the bicycle under Li Mu's seat, his eyes lit up.

"Dean Qian, was the bicycle that student riding invented by your Beijing Institute of Technology?" the middle-aged man couldn't help asking.

He took a quick look at the bicycle and found that it was not only beautiful in appearance, but also had a structure that was quite different from other bicycles.

This was very different from the heavy bicycles he saw when he returned home.

It was only after hearing the middle-aged man's words that Qian Shuyan realized that Li Mu's bicycle was different from the others.

He was startled, then smiled and said, "Maybe he did it himself."

"A student designing a bicycle?" The middle-aged man was a little surprised.

Even in the University of M, there are few such outstanding students.

"Haha, Mr. Su Jianxin, you don't know this." Upon hearing this, Qian Shuyan immediately smiled and told him about Li Mu's improvements on the electric drill and incandescent lamp.

This is because of the other party's identity as returned overseas Chinese, and since the founding of the Xia Kingdom, they have been providing a large amount of financial and material assistance to the country free of charge.

Otherwise, if it were someone else, Qian Shuyan would not be so defenseless.

"So, he is truly a young hero. It's a blessing for our Xia country!" Su Jianxin couldn't help but sigh, but his eyes were still fixed on Li Mu who was riding his bicycle slowly.

He thought for a moment and said, "Dean Qian, Professor Wang, I have an unwelcome request, but I don't know if I should say it or not."

……

Li Mu was riding a bicycle here. He originally planned to leave the school and find a place with few people to conduct detailed testing.

Unexpectedly, halfway through the ride, I was stopped by Qian Shuyan, Professor Wang and a middle-aged man in a suit and a slicked-back hair.

"Dean, Professor Wang!" Li Mu stopped the car and looked at Su Jianxin curiously.

Qian Shuyan introduced: "Li Mu, this is Mr. Su Jianxin, a patriotic businessman and overseas Chinese."
