Chapter 274: Eternal Secret

"Comrade Kurchatov, I see that your complexion is not very good, you need to pay attention to your body at all times at work, and your body is the capital of the revolution!"

Lin Jun paraphrased the words of the great man, the designer in front of him only lived to be 58 years old in history, and his body was overdrawn by years of overwork. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Lin Jun's words moved Kurchatov very much: "Serve the USSR!" Comrade Marshal, in fact, it is not particularly hard, I have been rushing to catch up with the film papers for the past two days, and I haven't rested much, so I don't look so good. ”

"Oh, you're still going to write a thesis?" Lin Jun was puzzled: What kind of bastard system!? Or what idiot wants an expert with a lot of responsibility to scatter his energy over those academic papers?!

Out of respect for Kurchatov, Lin Jun did not explode on the spot, but his questioning tone could already make the people on the side feel his dissatisfaction.

Kurchatov understood the meaning of Lin Jun's words: "This is also the content of the whole project, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs wants me and several other engineers to come up with an academic paper every year and publish it in the open journal of the Academy of Sciences." Of course, those are general research papers, and there is no possibility of any leakage. ”

Lin Jun knew that he had misunderstood just now, this was obviously a move made by Alexander, a wonderful move that Britain and Germany did not expect: the experts were still working normally.

The Americans "once" mobilized almost all the nuclear physicists in the United States for the "Manhattan Project," and articles on nuclear physics research in those scientific journals disappeared for many years -- this is obviously a self-defeating approach.

People are like this, and there are many things that can be done more perfectly by turning a corner, but there are only a few people who love to think in a corner.

With a clever move, the Soviet Union could successfully confuse the West.

Suddenly, Lin Jun thought of a very tempting idea: in history, the Soviet Union was sometimes led by the nose by the Americans - the hateful Star Wars, Lao Tzu also led your nose in circles!

I didn't think much about the long-term plan, and the people around me had already signaled that the team was ready.

Lin Jun asked Kurchatov to sit next to him, and the motorcade left the airport in the night. An hour later, the convoy arrived at a brightly lit factory area. It looks like a huge thermal power plant, which should be a cover for the research base.

"Comrade Marshal, according to the regulations, your guards need to stay in the factory area for the time being." Kurchatov said when the convoy stopped at the factory.

"Confidentiality always comes first." Lin Jun understood those strict confidentiality regulations, "Gusev, let Landscoch arrange it and make a connection with the local comrades." You, Landskozy, Leonov and Alyosha went in with me. ”

"Yes, Chief." After saying that, Gusev got out of the car to make arrangements, and the comrades of the Ministry of Internal Affairs had already gotten out of the car first and were waiting for him.

"All three of my staff officers are classified as Level 1, and they are responsible for the documents in my office. Alyosha, that big guy was personally instructed by Comrade Stalin to be a special guard of the Kremlin Guard Service, and he can go anywhere with me. ”

Lin Jun explained to Kurchatov that the four attachΓ©s had access to top secrets and were qualified to enter the base with them.

With Lin Jun's words and the documents of several people, of course the research base will not stop it. The convoy sideways through the power plant and into a gentle hill. The convoy's lights illuminated the asphalt road ahead, and in the distance it seemed that two barbed wire fences from tall trees could be seen as an obstacle.

This is a permanent sentry post, Kurchatov told Lin Jun that this is the first real pass, the doorman of the power plant just now is a cover, and there will be two more behind.

Everyone got out of the car, and the guards of the Ministry of Internal Affairs carefully checked everyone's documents, and even Lin Jun, the air marshal, needed to show his own documents - a memorandum of people entering and leaving the outpost.

Taking advantage of this, Lin Jun checked the surrounding environment - a firebreak had been cleared outside the barbed wire, which was obviously for observation, not for fire prevention, and there was extremely sparse thatch, but it was impossible for someone to use these plants as cover.

There are big warning signs hanging from the barbed wire - danger, high pressure!

There is an electric erection barricade in the middle of the road, and it is impossible for a vehicle to force its way through. The road passes through barbed wire, which stretches to both sides, and it is not far to be seen in the night. But what can be seen clearly is that there is also a wide firebreak at the end of the barbed wire - that firebreak is not a single function of the barbed wire, it represents death! It is impossible for outsiders to cross that death zone.

Lin Jun called the lieutenant commander who led the sentry line: "How wide is the minefield?" ”

"200 meters, Marshal Plunyakov." The lieutenant replied after saluting Lin Jun.

"Well, stick to your post." After speaking, Lin Jun returned to the car.

The convoy moved less than a kilometer before another blockade appeared in front of Lin Jun, this time with barbed wire, and two huge pillboxes guarding the only safe entrance. After checking the documents again, the convoy passed.

After a while, Lin Jun saw patches of lights, obviously there were many patches of buildings there.

"Comrade Marshal, welcome to the Atomic City, here is our office and living quarters. The core is still to come, so I'll ask you to inspect it tomorrow. Kurchatov made an introduction.

"Tomorrow is tomorrow, and today is late." Lin Jun was very tired, and the more than ten hours of air travel was not an ordinary fatigue, and there was no need to rush the inspection.

Lin Jun's car stopped in front of an ordinary building, and when he walked in, he found that it was a hotel, which was dedicated to receiving outsiders. In charge of receiving him was Prokhorov, a divisional cadre of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, who was responsible for the security of the entire base.

After Lin Jun arranged a simple freshening up in his room, he came to the restaurant with his entourage. At this time, he saw his old acquaintance, Bai Tuke, who is now the chief researcher of the base.

"Hello, Comrade Marshal."

"I haven't seen you for a few years, Comrade Bai Tuke, you are old." Lin Jun held his old friend's hand tightly, in just three years, the physics experts under the age of sixty are as old as seventy years old, but you can imagine the difficulties of research and the selflessness of the experts, "Or call me Andre to listen to the habit, just like we were on the train." ”

Lin Jun sat on the main seat and asked the comrades to do it separately, and it seemed that a simple meeting would be held at the dinner table.

Lin Jun was hungry, and at noon when the plane stopped in Riyabinsko, he ate some random food, and then he only ate some bread on the plane, and now it is close to midnight, and his stomach is already hungry. And the comrades of the institute did not mind having another meal - they had long forgotten what "8 to 5" was, the time here is 24 hours a day, there are people working at all times, and the meal time also turns according to the clock.

"Comrade Marshal, you already know Kurchatov, the other specialists are still in the core area, and you can meet them tomorrow." Bai Tuke still used the title of "marshal", and Lin Jun didn't correct it again.

"How many staff members are there in the entire research base now?"

"There are nearly 200 engineers in the core, more than 5,000 technicians in the core part, and if you count all the staff in the supporting departments, there are about 18,000, not counting the security personnel. We're just an independent city here, but it's just a little unfree, hehe. ”

Prokhorov on the side said: "Comrade Marshal, I have a detailed list of personnel in my office, and we have made a detailed file of any staff member of the base to ensure that the secrets are foolproof. ”

"One person in and one person out, there is no room for problems. This is the most important place for the Soviets, and the central government requires that the security work here be tighter than that of the Kremlin. You all know what is being developed, which is a weapon that can solve wars and destroy wars, and there can be no mistakes. ”

The scene is to be said, and the meal must be eaten. After a late dinner, the meeting will be over, and the official report will take place tomorrow morning, after which Lin Jun will enter the core area.

"We have been able to obtain a high concentration of uranium-235 by the gas diffusion method, which can already be used to make an atomic bomb in theory. Bai Tuke told Lin Jun when he sent him back to the room.

"How much is the production?"

"Not much, less than 5 grams per day, and the number of centrifuges will be gradually increased in the future, and it is estimated that in two to three years there will be enough uranium-235 to make an atomic bomb. In another case, we successfully obtained the extraction method of plutonium-239 through experiments, and the next step is to enter the actual production stage. ”

"When will we have the atomic bomb?" This is what Lin Jun cares about.

"Three years at the earliest, five years at the latest." After Bai Tuke finished speaking, he thought about it and added: "Andrei, I sometimes really can't understand how your words on the train came from. ”

"You're curious?" Lin Jun smiled mysteriously.

"It's going to be a secret forever. I'm only interested in my own research, and I don't have a good memory for the rest. Bai Tuke also smiled.

Uranium-235, plutonium-239 - these are not terms that can be heard in the mouth of an Air Force colonel in 37, but Botuc is only a physicist, he is only concerned with his own research, he will not pay attention to the questions that he does not understand in his own research, and he also knows that there are some things that the less asked the better.
