Big Time 1958

  Wolf Grigorivitch Messing, with gray hair in a mess on his head, and a pair of eyes that seem to have been through the vicissitudes of life under his forehead full of forehead lines, his eyes are tired and longing. From the outside, the little old man Wolf Grigovich Messing was plain and unremarkable.

   But I don't know why, Serov is an instinctive sense of disgust, as if the old man who has already entered the coffin in front of him is a threat to him. Suppressing the strange emotions in his heart, Serov looked at the old man in front of him coldly, and said with a cracked mouth, "Wolf Grigovich Messing, are you Jewish? I heard you can telepathy?"

   "No!" Contrary to Serov's expectations, Messing raised his eyelids and directly denied the legend about him.

"No way, I heard that Comrade Stalin met you! Don't you have the ability to telepathically? Is this also fake?" This kind of achievement in debunking pseudoscience made Serov quite satisfied, and the corner of his mouth with a cigarette showed A wisp of smile.

  Messin touched his messy hair with a slight smile, and smiled indifferently, "That's for ordinary people!"

"So you're not an ordinary person? A superpower? A telepath? Or a genius magician? What unique skills did you bring today, do you need to prepare the venue for our Master Messing now?" Sheloff smiled and bowed to himself His line of sight was at the same level as Messing who was sitting.

"No, those little tricks will be exposed by you! Maybe after they are exposed, you will kill me directly, or use your own experience to prove that I am a liar!" Messing's expression has always been calm, no matter what method Shelov uses to provoke it. Unmoved, in the end Serov lowered his voice and said, "As a liar. I think Siberia's labor camp may be more suitable for you!" Even he himself didn't understand why he was so excited all of a sudden.

  This mood swing was also felt by Messing who was sitting in front of Serov. Suddenly he said, "Director Shelov, you seem to be very nervous. After seeing me, you feel threatened, do you want to kill me impatiently?"

"What a joke, I'm the vice chairman of the KGB!" Shelov laughed in front of Messing. "What am I afraid of? All power is in our hands. I will execute whoever I want, and forgive whoever I want. All Everyone understands. We are everything. From the state party secretary down, everyone who knows me should listen to me, and the security cadre should be the most authoritative person in the state, otherwise I will not be a qualified security cadre."

  Clap! ! Messing clapped with a smile and was a loyal audience in the office with only two people. Although he didn't applaud loudly, the look of admiration on his face said everything. After a while, he slowly said, "Director Serov, your words are too domineering. Seventeen or eighteen years ago, when I saw Beria who had just replaced Yezhov, Beria was so proud at that time. I have seen Yezhov. Yezhov said these words of yours a long time ago. Then what? The Ministry of Internal Affairs at that time was much stronger than the KGB!"

   "Your mood is very unstable, I can feel it!" Messing stood up and looked at Serov with a serious look. He questioned, "Your mental state is very unstable, if it is not very healthy! Long-term anxiety will affect you long ago!"

   "Can you feel what I'm thinking?" Shelov asked in an incredible tone.

"No! You couldn't when you first came in, but you can't control your emotions now! I can feel that your mood has been in a state of anxiety for a long time! You shouldn't be afraid of me, it's the first time we meet !" Messing questioned again, speaking to Shelov and to himself, "I feel like seeing you, it's like seeing another self..."

  Messin stayed in Serov's office all day, and did not leave the General Directorate of Military Administration until the evening. Serov personally sent Messing out of the house, and then ordered someone to send Messing home. Today, he has learned a lot, and he can't say he has learned it. He just heard an opinion. Messing and him are a kind of person. They belong to people with special perception. Ordinary people can't hide their thoughts in front of him, but let him Fortunately for Serov, the old man obviously couldn't feel his thoughts, but it was true that his perception was sharper than his own.

   In the contact between the two sides, Messing was obviously the happier side. The old man and Shelov had different defenses. It was like seeing the same kind for the first time. Messing kept telling all his experiences.

   "Should only be considered a normal person with more sensitive senses?" Shelov finally concluded with uncertainty that the secrets of the human body are basically the same as the secrets of the universe, and they belong to the unknown domain of human beings. The last sentence Messing said before he left made Serov think for a long time, "Some people have an instinctive reaction to avoid the danger before the danger comes, but my instinct is a little more sensitive, but I am not as magical as the rumors, and I can control thousands of people. I'm sure I don't have the ability to…”

   It seems that scientific research on the human body should also increase support, and the resources in this area should be tilted. Or wait, the funding issue is a big one. A few years ago, Serov visited the Thirty-fifth Transistor Research Institute in Leningrad to check the safety issues involved in the scientific research unit. At the same time, he met Kraslov and Susannah, the inventors of the Soviet transistor.

"Our research institute is in a very bad state at the moment, and the backup tube factory can't reach the production environment of semiconductor transistors!" Susannah is thirty-five-year-old Georgian, a beautiful woman who is not a few years older than Serov, who invented the Soviet Union The first type of transistor, sometimes seeing this kind of real academic bully, Serov really has no temper at all. When Susanna spoke, Serov kept the state of being an audience.

   With his half bucket of water, he can only do one thing honestly in front of such an expert, shut up! At the same time, trying to ensure all the infrastructure that the experts need. Having said that, the improvement of the tube in the Soviet Union and the research of the transistor have been carried out simultaneously, because the transistor is obviously still in an unreliable state. And there was a breakthrough in the improvement of electronic tubes a few years ago, so the need for transistors is not too urgent. But Serov's impression that the transistor finally ran aground seems to have a lot to do with the success of the Tsar's nuclear bomb.

"The difficulties encountered by transistors are temporary. I believe that transistors must be more advanced than electronic tubes!" After a long speech, Serov finally only said this sentence. He really wanted to pat his chest and say that the funds and factories were all right. The point is that there is no money, and this is not a problem that he can solve with an executive order. In fact, money is not difficult to solve. The key is that Serov can’t stop the explosion of the Tsar’s nuclear bomb. Once the Soviet Union finds that the transistor was damaged in that explosion, and the electron tube is more suitable for nuclear war, the research on the transistor will still be ignored.

"Academician Berg also said the same thing as Comrade Vice Chairman, as long as our research does not stop, transistors will definitely replace electronic tubes one day!" Kraslov was Susannah's mentor, but the old man was obviously not good at words, and he talked to Shelov. Suzanne Madoyan is doing all the work. "However, Academician Yoffi holds an objection and thinks that our work will not be successful!"

   Academician Berg and Academician Yoffi are both authorities in the field of semiconductors in the Soviet Union, but according to Susannah Madoyan, the two have very big differences on transistors and tubes, one supports and one opposes! Serov's face stiffened a lot when he heard this scene, full of Lysenko's and Sukachev's immediate sense of sight, why is this also the case in the scientific world? This is not at all different from the words when he was in elementary school when the teacher described scientists as noble, great, upright, unselfish and special for others.

"We cannot guarantee that all studies are correct, some studies do not have much results, but our scientific attitude is to understand all the unknowns! Comrade Kraslov, Comrade Susannah! Don't be fooled by specific arguments If you are troubled, focus on your research, and if you encounter difficulties, you can contact me at any time, and you can find me at No. 11 Lubyanka Square!" Shelov now has an office at No. 11 Lubyanka Square, but He doesn't go often.

   After chatting for a long time, Serov finally remembered a question and said, "It seems that germanium is far less widely distributed than silicon, right?"

   The semiconductor components of later generations seem to have nothing to do with germanium, and are all made of silicon. Anyone who cares a little about this knows this.

"But the purification of silicon is very difficult, so although silicon is widely distributed, we have no way to carry out purification experiments, so the yield is similar to germanium!" After hearing Susanna's words, Serov shouted for chloride but still held back, He knows that chloride is something that purifies silicon, but he doesn't know how chloride was experimentally obtained, but one thing is clear, the Soviet Union still does not have it! Serov, who was very uncomfortable, couldn't say many words, and finally whispered, "You should be bold in your research, and our KGB supports your research!"

   However, it is of no use. What is the use of knowing the name chloride? Who knows how chloride is synthesized?

"Director, Moscow Telegram! Chairman Shelepin said that a delegation from the Indonesian Ministry of Internal Affairs will come to Moscow in three days. If you are not too busy, go back to Moscow and prepare!" Lukani walked in from the outside and read the telegram. road.

   "I'm not busy at all!" Serov, who felt that he was a waste at this time, just wanted to leave this sad place as soon as possible. Compared with these Soviet experts, he was more willing to talk about life with the indigenous people of Southeast Asia. He didn't understand 90% of what people said, and the only half-hearted person who knew about the silicon element was instantly slapped in the face. This experience was too painful, and the indigenous people of Southeast Asia were more friendly. (To be continued~^~)
