The Red Era, the Opening University Speech

Chapter 9 Why are you so pale?
The future, Lotus Lab.

In the white closed laboratory, Ask took off his heavy protective clothing, wrote down a series of data on the experimental record sheet, changed into regular clothes and left.

Many colleagues from the research institute passed by along the way, but Ask kept his head down and seldom greeted anyone.

Ask is a chatterbox online, but in reality he is a bit socially anxious.

After returning to the dormitory of the institute, Ask lay on the bed for a while, then sent a message to Li Mu: "Li, did the information help your friend?"

"Ding~"

Li Mu received the message, thought about it, and replied:
"It's very useful. My friend has successfully made an incandescent lamp by hand."

Ask: "That's good. I have also sorted out the production principles of the various light bulbs you asked for, and marked the time."

As he spoke, Ask sent Li Mu another long list of documents.

These files can be easily sorted out by an ordinary college student from the Internet. All Ask can do is to make them more systematic and concise.

It was also for this reason that Ask couldn't understand why Li Mu wanted his help.

An idea suddenly occurred to Ask's mind: "Could it be that Li is thinking about me?"

"Yes, that's for sure."

As soon as this thought came to mind, Ask suddenly felt that everything made sense.

In M's habit, it is normal for friends to help each other.

But you can’t always ask your friends to give without giving anything in return. That person is not a true friend.

"So, Lee deliberately asked me for a simple favor to avoid problems in our friendship?"

"Lee is so kind! To keep our friendship alive, it's time to work hard on practicing gaming skills and never become a hindrance to victory again!" The more Ask thought about it, the more it made sense, and the more moved he became.

"Thank you, Ask. I'm busy outside now. I'll find you to play games next time I'm free." Li Mu finally let go of his worries when he saw the new information.

"Okay, I'll work hard on practicing my operating skills first, so I won't lag behind next time."

……

Beijing Institute of Technology, classroom laboratory.

Li Mu looked through the more detailed information sent by Ask.

Since the invention of the incandescent lamp, the only relatively important improvement is to replace the carbon filament with tungsten filament.

But tungsten filament is already the most suitable material, followed by semiconductors.

That is the common LED light.

But that won’t come out until the beginning of the next century.

Li Mu couldn't possibly take it out on his own initiative, as that would be tantamount to seeking his own death.

"High-pressure mercury lamp? Xia Country invented it in 1961?" Li Mu couldn't help but exclaimed when he saw the development history of other light bulbs in Xia Country.

Not only that, the long-arc xenon lamp that took 20 years to develop abroad was produced in China in just three years!
"Li Mu." Zhang Kai suddenly called Li Mu.

"We are still a little confused about the principle of the experiment. Can you explain it to us again?"

Zhang Kai took out a pen and a notebook, which were filled with formulas and theories, definitely the notes of a top student.

Li Jian also looked at Li Mu expectantly.

Li Mu hesitated for a moment:
"I just used theory to deduce the experiment briefly, and ruled out several halogen elements that are likely to be unsuitable. I preliminarily inferred that bromine, iodine, and astatine are the three most suitable elements."

"Let's try it on these three elements first. The experimental method is also very simple."

"The tungsten filament will evaporate when it is heated, so we first need to turn the three elements into gaseous state and then let them react in a relatively closed space."

Li Mu talked freely, but Zhang Kai and Li Jian's eyes were somewhat dull.

The same thought popped up in their heads at the same time: "Li Mu has been sick for three days and is back now even worse?"

These two seemingly casual sentences represent the theoretical model that Li Mu constructed in his mind, which were the solutions with the highest success rate that he came up with after many deductions.

"Under ideal conditions, the gaseous tungsten released by the tungsten filament due to heat will react with the gaseous halogen in the confined space to form tungsten halide."

"Tungsten halide moves in a confined space and returns to the vicinity of the high-temperature filament, where it is decomposed into tungsten and halogen. Tungsten remains in the filament, and halogen continues to participate in the next cycle."

At this point, the principle of halogen lamps has been explained clearly.

Li Mu looked at Zhang Kai and Li Jian who had strange looks in their eyes, feeling uneasy, thinking that there was something wrong with what he said.

"Li Mu, you are too strong!" Li Jian couldn't help but exclaimed. "You are worthy of being a genius who can come up with even more amazing improvements on the podium after winning the first place in the individual competition. I am impressed!"

Zhang Kai was amazed: "No wonder Professor Lian Wei came to ask about you the day before yesterday, and asked about our improvement progress in detail! He knew that you took sick leave and the incandescent lamp project was blocked, but he still told us to just wait and be at ease!"

Li Mu was at a loss: "Waiting?"

Li Jian nodded: "Wait until you get better!"

Zhang Kai took over the topic: "Professor Wei said that after you recover, with your scientific research sense, you will definitely find a direction for improvement. From the improvement of the electric drill, we can see that you have a very strong scientific research sense!"

Li Jian answered quickly: "Professor Wei said that he has never seen a student with a stronger talent in engineering than you!"

"He also asked us to tell you that if you don't understand anything, you can go to him!"

Li Mu was horrified.

A professor is thinking about me? This is not a good thing!

"Hahaha... Professor, you really are a joker! I don't have any talent for engineering..." Li Mu laughed, feeling a little restless.

Zhang Kai and Li Jian rolled their eyes at the same time:

"Hey, being too modest is just hypocrisy!"

"Everyone in Beijing Institute of Technology knows that you are an engineering genius. I heard that even the dean mentioned your name several times during the academic affairs meeting yesterday!"

"And you still say you're not a genius?"

Li Mu wanted to slap himself hard a few times at this moment.

If I hadn't been careless a few days ago and mentioned that the electric drill can be used both forward and reverse, how could it have attracted more attention?
Thinking of this, I feel numb!
It was already hell to begin with, but I actually thought it wasn't difficult enough and raised the difficulty myself! It became the difficulty of hell!

As long as you are cautious enough and can survive a few months without being exposed, the risk of being exposed in the future will be infinitely reduced.

just now……

Li Mu's face turned slightly pale, and sweat broke out on his forehead.

Zhang Kai noticed that something was wrong with Li Mu: "Why are you so pale? Haven't you recovered yet? ENNN... Go back and rest first, we can do the rest of the experiments."

"This... isn't good?" Li Mu pretended to be polite, but his feet couldn't control themselves and he performed a moonwalk.

"What's wrong with that? You use your brain and we use our strength. That's it."

Zhang Kai patted Li Mu on the shoulder and pushed him out of the laboratory.

Li Mu left reluctantly. After he went out and gradually calmed down, he was not in a hurry to go home. Instead, he planned to take the opportunity to walk around the school.

"Every failure makes you a wiser one. In the future, I must never reveal information about future generations before I have a clear understanding of the situation!" Li Mu warned himself as he strolled in the quiet campus of the Polytechnic Institute.

……

The tall sycamore trees, the wide tree-lined paths and lawns, and the yellow leaves falling in the wind make it seem like a paradise.

"Compared with the outside world, the university environment at this time is really like an ivory tower!" Li Mu sighed to himself.

Of course, he was not really wandering around aimlessly, but was getting familiar with the large and small buildings and roads of Beijing Institute of Technology.

From the student ID card, Li Mu saw that the original owner had enrolled last year. Although he had only studied for one year, he should at least be familiar with the school.

However, he now only knew one way to the teaching building and another way to the laboratory building, and he had to be led there by someone.

In this situation, if anything unexpected happens, it will be easy to be exposed.

Half an hour later, I roughly memorized the buildings in the school and walked out of the school gate to go home.

On the way home, Ask sent another message:

"Li, are you asking me for help because you don't want me to feel guilty?"

Li Mu: ???
It took me a while to understand what Ask's nonsensical words meant.

Let's just go with the flow and let Ask keep this wonderful misunderstanding:
"Helping each other makes us good friends, right?"

Ask began to move himself: "Li, you are so loyal. It is my honor to be your friend!"

Li Mu: ...

After that, Ask talked to Li Mu about some game skills and strategies before stopping with a sense of unfulfilled desire.
