Wolf? Grigorivvich? Messing, with gray hair messy on her head, and a pair of eyes that seemed to have been through vicissitudes under her forehead covered with forehead lines, with both tiredness and longing in her eyes. Outwardly looking like Wolfe? Grigorivvich? The little old man Messing was unremarkable and did not make a very noticeable impression.

But for some reason, Serov had an instinctive sense of disgust, as if the old man who was already in the coffin in front of him was 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 the corners of his mouth split, "Wolf? Grigorivvich? Messing, are you Jewish? I heard you can be telepathic? ”

"No!" To Serov's surprise, Messing raised his eyelids and directly denied the legend about himself.

"No, I heard that Comrade Stalin met with you! Don't you have telepathic abilities? Could it be that this is also fake? Serov was quite satisfied with the sense of accomplishment of debunking pseudoscience, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth as he held a cigarette.

Messing smiled and touched her messy hair, and smiled indifferently, "That's for ordinary people!" ”

"So you're not an ordinary person? Superpowers? Telepaths? Or a genius magician? What did you bring today, and do you need to prepare the venue for our Master Messing now? Serov smiled and hunched over so that his gaze was level with that of the seated Messing.

"No, those little tricks will be debunked by you! Maybe you'll kill me outright after you debunk it, or prove that I'm a liar with your own experience! Messing's expression remained unfazed, no matter what method Serov used to provoke, he was unmoved, and finally Serov lowered his voice and said, "As a liar, I think the Siberian labor camp may be more suitable for you!" Even he didn't understand. Why all of a sudden, so excited.

This mood swing was also felt by Messing, who was sitting in front of Serov, and suddenly spoke, "Director Serov, your heart seems to be very nervous, you have a feeling of being threatened after seeing me, and you can't wait to kill me?" ”

"What a joke. I am the deputy chairman of the KGB! Serov laughed in front of Messing, "What am I afraid of? All the power is in our hands, I can execute whoever I want, I can forgive whoever I want, everyone understands that we are everything. From the secretary of the state party committee 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. ”

Bang Bang !!! Messing clapped with a smile. I made a loyal audience in the office of only two people, although I didn't applaud loudly, but the look of admiration on my face said everything, and after a while, I slowly said, "Director Serov, your words are too domineering, seventeen or eighteen years ago, I was meeting Beria, who had just replaced Yezhov. At that time, Beria was also so proud, and I also met Yezhov. These words of yours Yezhov have long been said, and then what? At that time, the Ministry of Internal Affairs was much more powerful than the KGB! ”

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

"Can you feel my thoughts?" Serov asked rhetorically in an incredulous tone.

"Can't! Not when I first came in. But you can't control your emotions at all! I can feel that your mood is in a state of anxiety for a long time! It's not me you're scared, it's the first time we've met! Messing questioned again, to Serov and to himself, "I see how you feel, it's like seeing another self......"

Messing had been in Serov's office for a day. Having left the Main Directorate of Military Administration only in the evening, Serov personally sent Messing out of the door, and then ordered someone to send Messing home. Today he has learned a lot, and he can't say that he has learned, but he has only heard an opinion, Messing and him are a kind of people, belonging to people with special perception, ordinary people can't hide their thoughts in front of him at all, but what makes Serov happy is that this old man obviously doesn't feel his thoughts, but it is true that his perception is sharper than his own.

The contact between the two sides, Messing was obviously the happier side, the old man and Serov's defenses were different, as if it was the first time he saw his kind, Messing kept telling all his experiences.

"I think I can only be regarded as a normal person with more sensitive senses, right?" Serov finally came to the conclusion that the secrets of the human body are basically the same as the secrets of the universe, and they belong to the unknown territory of mankind. Messing's last words before leaving made Serov think about it for a long time, "Some people have instinctive reactions to avoid danger before it comes, but my instinct is a little sharper, but I am not as magical as rumored, and I definitely don't have the ability to control thousands of people......"

It seems that scientific research on the human body should also be more supported, and resources in this area should be tilted. Wait a minute, funding is a big problem. A few years ago, Serov visited the 35th Transistor Research Institute in Leningrad to inspect the safety issues involved in scientific research institutes, and at the same time met Kraslov and Susanna, the inventors of the Soviet transistor.

"At present, our research institute is in a very bad state, and the backup tube factory cannot reach the production environment of semiconductor transistors!" Susanna is Chinese New Year's Eve and is Georgian, a beautiful woman who is not a few years older than Serov in front of her, who invented the first transistor in the Soviet Union, and sometimes sees this real scholar, Serov really has no temper at all, and when Suzanne speaks, Serov has always maintained the state of being a listener.

With his half bucket of water, in front of this kind of expert, he can only do one thing honestly, shut up! At the same time, we will find a way to secure all the infrastructure that the specialists need, and then again, the improvement of the electron tube in the USSR and the research on the transistor have been going on in parallel, because the transistor is still clearly in an unreliable state. And a few years ago, there was a breakthrough in the improvement of electron tubes, so the need for transistors was not too urgent. But Serov had the impression that the transistor finally ran aground, and it seemed that it had nothing to do with the success of the explosion of the Tsar's nuclear bomb.

"The difficulties encountered by transistors are temporary, and I believe that transistors must be more advanced than electron tubes!" After a long mouth, Serov finally only said such a sentence, he really wanted to pat his chest directly and say that there is no problem with funds and factories, the key 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 point is that Serov could not prevent the explosion of the Tsar's nuclear bomb, once the Soviet Union found that the transistor was damaged in that explosion, and the electron tube is more adapted to nuclear war, the research of transistors will still be cold.

"Academician Berg also said the same as Comrade Vice President, as long as our research does not stop, transistors will definitely replace electron tubes one day!" Kraslov was Susanna's mentor, but the old man was obviously not good at words, and it was Susanna who talked to Serov. "But Academician Yofy disagrees, believing that our work will not succeed!" ”

Academician Berg and Academician Jofy were both authorities in the field of semiconductors in the Soviet Union. In Madoyan's mouth, the two have a very big difference about transistors and tubes, one for and one against! Serov's face stiffened a lot when he heard this scene, full of Lysenko and Sukachev's sense of immediacy, why is this the kind of thing in the scientific community? This is not at all the same as when he was in elementary school, when his teacher described scientists as noble, great, upright, selfless and self-interested.

"We can't guarantee that all studies are correct, and some studies really won't have much results, but our scientific attitude is to figure out all the unknowns! Comrade Kraslov, Comrade Susanna! Don't get bogged down by specific arguments, focus on your research, and if you get stuck, you can always contact me and find me at 11 Lubyanka Square! Serov now has an office at 11 Lubyanka Square, but he doesn't go there often.

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

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

"However, the purification of silicon is very difficult, so although the silicon element is widely distributed, we have no way to carry out purification experiments, so the yield is similar to that of germanium!" After listening to Susanna's words, Serov shouted about chloride but still held back, he knew that chloride was something that purified silicon, but he didn't know how chloride was experimented, but one thing is clear, now the Soviet Union still doesn't have it! Serov, who was quite uncomfortable, couldn't say a lot of words, and finally said in a low voice, "You should boldly conduct research, and we in the KGB support your research!" ”

But it's useless, what's the use of knowing the name chloride, who knows how chloride is synthesized?

"Director, Moscow Telegraph! Chairman Sherepin said that the delegation of the Indonesian Ministry of Internal Affairs will come to Moscow in three days, and if you are not too busy, you will finally return to Moscow to prepare! Lukani walked in from the outside, holding a telegram and reading.

"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, and he preferred to talk about life with the natives of Southeast Asia rather than with these Soviet experts. He didn't understand 90% of what people said, and the only thing he knew about the silicon element was a half-hanger, and he was slapped in the face in an instant, this experience was too painful, and the natives of Southeast Asia were more friendly.
