Lin Jun did not waste too much time on the issue of tickets, and his status as a "Hero of the Soviet Union" solved everything. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 While he was still taking a shower, the comrades at the Bugulima railway station had already delivered the sleeper tickets to Chelyabinsk tomorrow afternoon to the lobby of the hotel of the oil complex.

Lin Jun fell asleep after eating the dinner brought by the waiter, and the past few days of running around made him tired enough to fall asleep as soon as he lay down.

He woke up at noon the next day, and while eating in the restaurant, he encountered a small "special situation", that is, the comrades in the hotel wanted to take a group photo with him. The hotel manager, who was of Tatar descent, was cautious when he made this request to Lin Jun, fearing that he would be displeased.

"Hehe, of course you can."

This photo of Lin Jun wearing a medal and all the staff of the hotel was beautifully framed and hung on the wall of the lobby of the Bugulima Oil Complex Hotel for years to come. Whenever a new guest came, the waiter at the hotel would point to the photo and say: "The famous Comrade Andrei Nikolayevich Prenyakov, the famous Hero of the Soviet Union, also stayed in our hotel, and that was on February 10, 1937. ”

At 4 p.m. on February 10, when it was already dark, Lin Jun was sent by the comrades of the Bugullima Oil Complex Hotel to the train to Chelyabinsk. Because this is a station on the way, although the comrades of the railway did their best, Lin Jun had to use a box with other comrades, and the comrades of the railway also explained to Lin Jun about this. Of course, he would not have an opinion on this, and also expressed his gratitude to the comrades at the Bugulima railway station.

Lin Jun's heroic deeds were known to the people of the whole Soviet Union, because the newspapers and radio had done countless propaganda, not only about him three years ago, but also about his combat experience in Spain, which was artistically processed by those editors and widely publicized in the Soviet Union. In the image of ordinary Soviet working people, this Comrade Andrei should be an "unattainable" existence, and when he was really met, the image of Comrade Andrei as "kind and warm" immediately won their favor.

Now the train is preparing for crossing the Ural Mountains at the station of the city of Ufa in the Bashkir Autonomous Republic. The railway staff added a locomotive to the train, and the added locomotive had a heavy snow shovel in front of it, and of course, a large amount of supplies. Although the meteorological department said that the weather would be good for the next few days, the situation on the mountain was not up to the meteorological department.

The train stayed at the station for three hours, leaving again at 3 a.m. on the 11th, just in daylight when it crossed the Urals.

Lin Jun got up early in the morning, but he didn't expect that the comrades in the same box with him got up earlier than him.

"Good morning, Comrade Betuko." Lin Jun greeted the engineer, who is in his 50s, a professor at the Siberian branch of the USSR Academy of Sciences.

"Hello, Comrade Colonel."

Yesterday, when Lin Jun got on a train from Bugulima, he was placed in the engineer's box, of course, this box was not Professor Whitetuko's alone, but the professor never expected that the famous Comrade Andrei lived in a box with him.

After freshening up, Lin Jun took Comrade Professor to the dining car for breakfast.

"Comrade Bai Tuke, you should be familiar with this railway, right?"

"It's okay, from the beginning of 31 years to work in Novosibirsk, I passed several times a year. If all goes well, you will be able to have dinner in Chelyabinsk. ”

"Let's hope something doesn't happen on the mountain." Lin Jun said.

"It's okay now, but in a little more than a month, the muddy season at the end of March will be troublesome, and the railway will often be paralyzed for a short time. However, in recent years, the railway department has carried out treatment and transformation of several mountain passes that are prone to problems, and the situation is much better than in previous years. ”

"To be honest, I don't know much about the Urals, so you can introduce me to it." Lin Jun asked the waiter to take two cups of coffee.

"The two sides of the Ural Mountains are like two worlds, and the economic base of the east is relatively better in this section, because the east is very rich in various mineral deposits, like Sverdelovsk, which was already the center of the metallurgical industry of Tsarist Russia 200 years ago. Now our Soviets have also established a large number of heavy industrial enterprises to the east of the Urals. ”

"I know all this, what's more special, the kind that most people don't know very much?"

"Hehe, one thing is very interesting, the Ural Mountains are the watershed of the Volga, the Ural and the Ob River basin on the eastern slope. Interestingly, the fish living in the rivers on the east and west sides are also different: the salmon in the west river shines red, while the mark sturgeon and the east river are silvery-white, the color is completely different, it should be caused by different water and soil, just like the fish of the two worlds, but the nearest production area is only more than 10 kilometers away. ”

"It's kind of interesting." Lin Jun paused, "Waiter." ”

"Hello, Comrade Colonel. How can we help? ”

"Are there salmon and sturgeon from the Urals on the train?"

"We have these two kinds of fish on our train, and they taste very good, but they won't be served until lunch and dinner." The waiter still didn't say a word, that is: these two dishes are very expensive.

"Of course Comrade Colonel can afford this." The waiter thought, so he omitted the sentence.

"Okay, I'll order two at noon."

Lin Jun had to pay for the breakfast for the two of them by the way, "Comrade Bai Tuke, I will invite you to eat fish at noon, hehe." ”

Comrade Engineer didn't agree, he knew that these two dishes were very expensive, and although he knew that Comrade Colonel didn't care, it was really unreasonable to ask for two meals in a row.

After two rounds of arguments, it was finally decided: breakfast is for Comrade Engineer, and Comrade Colonel for Chinese food is a treat.

After returning to the box, the two continued to chat. At the Siberian Branch of the USSR Academy of Sciences, he studied physics, and he was the head of the physics research office there. Of course, his identity does not need to be kept secret in front of Lin Jun.

Bai Tuke's identity made Lin Jun think of something, that is, the atomic bomb. It's a pity that he doesn't know anything about high-energy physics, and talking about the "atomic bomb" with Comrade Professor is like playing the piano to a cow, because the professor knows more than he does. But there is one thing that the professor never thought of, that is, physical methods can also make powerful weapons, and Lin Jun's undisciplined and completely layman's nonsense also made Bai Tuke have an idea: "Is it possible to use radioactive materials, such as uranium-235 and plutonium-239 to make weapons?" ”

Lin Jun semi-intentionally said the terms uranium-235, plutonium-239 and chain reaction, in fact, he himself had only seen these terms from previous textbooks, and he didn't know what it was to build an atomic bomb, but a lot of "meaningless" terms he said were not meaningless in Baituke.

"We only touched on the most superficial things in this research, because we didn't think about making weapons from a physical point of view, and this kind of research requires a lot of manpower and material resources, and our research laboratory can't do it independently."

"Nonsense! You can build an atomic bomb in one laboratory, so wouldn't the streets be full of atomic bombs in the future?! Lin Jun thought.

"So do you think it's possible for this to become a reality?" Lin Jun asked to the point.

"It's possible, but it's going to take a lot of time and a lot of money just to get the work upfront." The engineer's ideas and confidence have been "hooked" by Lin Jun. "But even if the research is developed smoothly, the human physics required in the end will be unimaginable, and it will take at least 10 years or more!"

"Well, Comrade Betuko, I can help your department submit a report on the application for research directly to the Kremlin, which will reduce the number of layers. After you make your ideas into a systematic report, I will help you to hand them directly to Comrade Stalin. Lin Jun spoke boldly.

"So?!" Bai Tuke was really taken aback, if this was a matter of "reaching the sky", he didn't dare to talk nonsense.

"You can go back to the academy and carefully analyze whether it is feasible, if you can, you can send the report directly to Moscow, I will leave you my address and contact information, and I will accompany you to Comrade Stalin when the time comes."

Bai Tuke thought carefully, and after a while he made up his mind, "Okay, Comrade Andrei, I will reply to you in three months, and if it is not feasible, I will give you a message." If this study had succeeded, the contribution to the Soviets would have been unprecedented. ”

"Comrade Bai Tuke, if you don't succeed, the price you pay is unimaginable!" Lin Junke wants to remind him.

"Comrade Andrei, it is an honor for a scientist to dedicate himself to his research, just as the best destination for a soldier is to die on the battlefield."

"Hehe, Comrade Betuko, if the research is feasible, I will definitely keep you safe in the early stage, and I can still say a few words in the Kremlin. But once you're on track, it's up to you. ”

"Don't worry, Comrade Andrey, I know what to do, it won't drag you down. If I succeed in 10 or 20 years, my name will be forever in history, and on the day I succeed, I will be able to tell who inspired me in the first place. If it fails, hehe, it only means that your research has failed, which is the psychological preparation that everyone who engages in scientific research must have. ”

In this way, Lin Jun met physicist Bai Tuke. What exactly will this conversation between the two on the train bring to the Soviet Union? At this time, no one knows, only time will verify everything.

As for the research of the "atomic bomb", this conversation between the two can be said to be nothing more than a wave in the sea, and it is not so easy to come out. Some people say that "Pandora's box" cannot be closed once it is opened, but since it is destined to be opened, everyone wants the control of the box to be in their own hands.
