After the captain brought food and tea to Sokov and Yakov, he exited the room and thoughtfully closed the door for them.
"Your weapon design drawings have been completed, what are your next plans?" "I don't know." Sokov, who was eating, said vaguely: "Although the drawings are completed, the production of the prototype gun will still take two or three days.
time, and then a series of testing work. I estimate that it will take a few more days.
Only then can I leave here and go home."
"Misha, when you went to Comrade Ustinov's office, did he ask you to sign a confidentiality agreement and then asked you to join a design team and participate in a major research and development project?"
After hearing this, Sokov couldn't help being stunned, and then asked: "Why, Comrade Ustinov also asked you to sign a confidentiality agreement?"
"Yes, he once asked me to sign a confidentiality agreement." Yakov replied without hesitation: "But I refused. What about you, did you sign it?" "No, I didn't sign it." Sokov finished.
, without waiting for Yakov to ask, he took the initiative to explain the reason for his refusal: "A major project that requires signing a confidentiality agreement means that in the following days, I
We will live a life of isolation from the world and unable to see our loved ones. This time may be three or four years, or it may be thirty or forty years. I don’t want my children to not even be able to see their father after they are born.
." "Misha, you did the right thing." Yakov nodded and said: "With your current status, there is really no need to participate in any major research and development projects. In fact, it is not bad to stay in the General Ordnance Department, when you have design inspiration.
, just develop a few models
New light weapons; if you don’t know what weapon to design for the time being, you can continue writing a book. In fact, I envy you. You know so many things and your life is very fulfilling.” “After designing the machine gun this time, I
I'm afraid I haven't designed any new weapons. After all, I have exhausted my talents." Sokov said: "I think if I have time, I can still sit down and write some novels. No.
I can get higher honors." "Actually, there are thousands of writers and weapons experts, but only a handful of them are famous. But the few weapons you designed are enough to make me famous.
You have become an excellent military expert."
After Yakov said this, he picked up the tea cup and took a sip of hot tea, and then thought of one thing: "By the way, what did you just say about 'all the talent has been exhausted'? How come I have never heard of it before?"
This is an idiom from the East." After hearing what Yakov said, Sokov realized that he had just inadvertently used a Chinese idiom, and quickly explained to Yakov: "Hundreds of years ago, there was a man named Jiang.
literati,
As he gets older, he has little creative inspiration and the articles he writes are no longer attractive, so people say he has exhausted his talent."
"Oh, so that's what happened." Yakov nodded slightly, and then said: "By the way, Misha, have you heard about the Chelyabinsk Research Institute?"
"No." Sokov shook his head and asked curiously: "What happened to the research institute in Chelyabinsk?" "I heard, just heard. I can't guarantee the authenticity of the matter." Yako
The husband said: "I heard this from a military expert in the office. He was drunk at the time and kept mumbling, while I was
I was sitting next to him and happened to hear something."
"What is it? Tell me quickly and listen."
"When we returned from the Far East and passed through the Tunguska region, we discussed the so-called extraterrestrial civilization. Do you remember this?"
"Remember, of course I remember." Sokov urged the other party: "Yasha, tell me quickly, what is the relationship between the Chelyabinsk research institute and the Tunguska explosion?" "In our country in the late 1920s,
A scientific expedition team was once sent to the center of the original explosion. The scientific expedition team members discovered a huge meteorite. Although it was only more than one meter high, its weight reached an astonishing 30 tons.
The same volume of gold is heavier." Sokov was considered a top student in later generations, so he naturally knew that although gold is a precious metal, metals heavier than it still exist. For example, the density of gold is 2g per cubic centimeter, and tungsten
It is 3g per cubic centimeter, tantalum is 6 cubic centimeters, platinum is 5 cubic centimeters, iridium is 22 cubic centimeters, and osmium is 22 cubic centimeters per cubic centimeter. So when he heard this, he couldn't help but interjected and asked:
“Since it is heavier than gold, what kind of gold is it?
Where is the genus?" "After testing, it was found that it is a metal that does not belong to the earth." Yakov continued: "In order to transport this magical piece of metal, a special railway was built, and then the metal block was pulled to the
Chelyabin
Sk, then sent to a hidden factory and established a research institute."
"Then what is the use of this piece of metal? Has it been researched?" "What I am going to say next is the most incredible. Although I am very familiar with the military expert, understand his character, and know that he is not a lover.
He is a liar, but I always feel that what he said is
It’s a fantasy. If you don’t believe it after hearing it, don’t refute me. Just treat it as a science fiction story.”
"Tell me, Yasha." At this moment, Sokov wanted to know the purpose of this magical metal: "I was just listening to the story." "Initially, this stone was placed in a hall.
, the scientific researchers tried every means, but could not cut the stone. Until one day, when a technician was sitting on the ground next to the stone to rest, someone asked him to do something, and he casually handed over a drawing in his hand.
"Put it on the ground." Yakov said: "When he came back, he unexpectedly found something like an eye emerging from the stone, emitting a beam of light and illuminating the picture.
Paper. Soon, a magical scene appeared. As the light beam disappeared, an object marked on the drawing appeared in the open space next to it." When Sokov heard this, he couldn't help shouting in his heart: "Wow!
, this is too exaggerated. After a beam of light scans the drawing, the things on the drawing automatically become real objects, which is simply a fantasy." But.
Thinking of the prior agreement with Yakov, he did not interrupt the other party, but allowed the other party to continue talking. "When the people at the institute discovered this situation, they were overjoyed. They quickly brought more drawings, hoping that the same would happen.
The miracle can happen again." At this point, Yakov shrugged his shoulders, spread his hands and said
Said: "As a result, the drawings were brought, but the mysterious light did not appear again."
"In other words, after that mysterious eye scans the drawings with light, it can turn the design data on the drawings into physical objects?" Sokov looked at Yakov and asked: "Yasha, I'm right.
?"
"nbsp;"Light scanning?!" Yakov said with some surprise: "Misha, you used this word quite accurately. The strange stone illuminates the drawing with a beam, isn't it just scanning?"
??????????.??????
"Later, did the stone scan other drawings and turn the things on the drawings into real objects?" "It is said that every two years, the eyes on the stone will appear once, and then the provided drawings will be scanned.
, but each scan does not take long." Yakov continued: "Some of the scanned drawings have become...
Real objects, and some didn't produce anything at all." After Sokov heard this, he began to think about the strange behavior of this strange stone: "Yasha, you said the reason why the drawings swept by the stone could not produce real objects.
, could it be because the value of the item is not high, or the picture
Is there an error in the paper design?" Regarding Sokov's statement, Yakov was stunned for a while before slowly nodding his head and saying in an approving tone: "Misha, what you said makes perfect sense. I think so too.
, those have been scanned by the beam, but have not turned into physical objects.
The drawings are either of low value or the drawings are not designed correctly.”
"Then among the weapons currently in service in our army, which one is directly transformed from strange rocks?" "Katyusha rocket launcher." Yakov replied without thinking: "Haven't you noticed that since the Katyusha rocket launcher?
After it was finalized, it has never been improved. Also, the new rocket you invented, the design
The design drawings have also been scanned by that beam, otherwise do you think we can design such an advanced rocket with our existing military technology?"
Yakov's statement made Sokov dubious, because he and Yakov did not go to Chelyabinsk at all. Yakov obviously saw Sokov's doubts, so he added: "Misha
, the city we went to was indeed not Chelyabinsk. But as far as I know, several copies of the drawings you designed were copied and sent to
To Chelyabinsk. I think the reason why it can be produced so quickly is the result of beam scanning." "Yasha, I don't agree with your statement." Sokov heard what Yakov said and took the opportunity to speak out.
Doubts in my mind: "Even if my design drawings have been scanned by a beam, it can produce so many rockets."
Bombs? You know, from the time rockets are put into the battlefield, the amount consumed is an astronomical number. I don’t think just a beam of light can meet the needs on the battlefield."
"Misha, you are too anxious. I haven't finished speaking yet. It's not too late to express your opinion after you listen to me."
Sokov nodded and made a gesture of invitation to Yakov: "Yasha, please continue." "I didn't finish what I just said, which caused you to misunderstand." Yakov said: "Those who passed the drawings
The physical equipment will be quickly sent to other areas for disassembly and measurement, and then based on the test results
The data is used to produce corresponding parts for assembly. The new rocket is disassembled and measured for various data, and then the parts are produced in different factories, and then assembled by a unified military factory." "Oh, so that's it.
"At this time, Sokov finally understood why the Soviet army continued to produce more advanced weapons and equipment despite the loss of its main military industrial city. What Yakov said
The mysterious research institute mentioned should have contributed a lot. "Scan the drawings and you can get the real thing?!" Sokov kept mumbling, and a terrible thought suddenly flashed through his mind: "Oh my God,
No wonder the intelligence agencies are trying their best to cultivate a fake president. It turns out that
For this reason."
Yakov heard Sokov muttering something and couldn't help but asked: "Misha, what are you talking about?" "I didn't say anything." Sokov said covertly: "I just think this is too weird.
It’s unimaginable, simply unimaginable. Although you said that the military expert couldn’t speak, I still think that this should
He must be talking nonsense when he is drunk. There are no strange rocks from aliens. There is no magical beam of light that can transform the data in the drawings into real objects."
"Misha, I told you a long time ago. I also heard what others said. I can't guarantee the truth of the matter. I'll just let you listen to it as a story."
"Yes, yes, you are right." Sokov nodded vigorously and said very cooperatively: "Actually, I just listened to this matter as a story." Yakov is here with Sokov
After filling his stomach, he drank a few more cups of hot tea, then stood up and said: "Misha, I have to go back to work. You have been tired for such a long time, so you should take the time to rest. I will come see you another day.
." "Yasha, I don't agree with your statement." After hearing what Yakov said, Sokov took the opportunity to express his doubts: "Even if my design drawings have been scanned by the beam, it can produce
Shoot out so many rockets
Bombs? You know, from the time rockets are put into the battlefield, the amount consumed is an astronomical number. I don’t think just a beam of light can meet the needs on the battlefield."
"Misha, you are too anxious. I haven't finished speaking yet. It's not too late to express your opinion after you listen to me."
