[252] Huge demand

As Lebedev's experimental statistics were published in the Academy of Computing Sciences of the USSR Academy of Sciences, all Soviet electronics scientists were shocked, and this is unimaginable jishu progress!

General Designer of the Moscow "245 Special Design Bureau" Yuri. Speaking at a special meeting of the Academy of Computing Sciences, Bazlevsky said: "We should tell our comrades in China that we will have as many such pipes as they have!" Especially regulators, oscillators, rectifiers and detectors! The performance of these tubes is unmatched! No matter what kind of praise you use on shijie, it's not too much! According to the loss of changing a pipe every 8 minutes in the past, we have to replace all 6,000 pipes in a month, which is about 60,000 rubles! If you convert it to U.S. dollars, it will cost as much as 90,000 U.S. dollars. And after all the pipes brought by the Chinese comrades were replaced, based on the results of the current week, only 27 were broken in about a month! 27 pcs! 27 pcs! Even if it costs an average of 50 dollars a piece, it is less than 900 rubles! 900 rubles! 900 rubles! I want to use all the "Arrow" supercomputers being developed by our 245 Special Design Bureau with such high-performance tubes! ”

Wanaz, president of the Academy of Electronic Sciences, nodded and said, "Don't get excited, Yuri, don't get excited, we are also very excited about the jishu level of the new type of tube." Not to mention anything else, just in terms of power consumption, "MESM" has dropped from 25 kilowatts per hour to 15 kilowatts per hour, only sixty percent of the past, the heat generation and stability of the computer have been greatly improved, and it can achieve 72 hours of continuous operation without downtime. This saves us a lot of maintenance engineers! The monthly savings in the loss of the tube, the savings in electricity bills, and the reduction in labor and maintenance costs are enough to rebuild a new "MESM". There is no doubt that this will be a great contribution to the cause of scientific computing in the Soviets! I would advise the Chairman of the Presidium of the Academy of Soviet Sciences, Comrade Midin, at any cost, to get more of these high-performance tubes from the Chinese comrades! ”

The same trial report is also being fed back from various units of the Soviet Union, whether it is ship-based radar, land-based radar, aircraft radar, or radio communications, as long as all departments use these high-performance electron tubes, they are all applauded one after another! The reports requesting additional allocations were piled up on the desks of the chairmen of the USSR Committee of Science and Technology, the USSR Jihua Committee, the USSR General Armament Department, and the USSR Industrial Committee, and all of them were gathered at the highest meeting of the Supreme Presidium of the Soviets.

Faced with a screaming demand, Stalin was both happy and worried, and he smiled wryly and frowned and said to the chairman of the Supreme Presidium of the USSR Academy of Sciences, Midin: "The amount of these needs is too great, of course, here I will first consider the needs of the Institute of Computing of the USSR Academy of Sciences, your monthly savings on the giant computer are really great." I've read your report, and I agree that you should change the original jihua, not just as a transitional model, but to start mass production, isn't your "Arrow" supercomputer expected to be put into use in 54 years? Until then, we do need a lot of computers to serve our various research and defense departments. ”

Stalin explained: "The Minister of Statistics, Comrade Eugene, has repeatedly stated that if he is allotted two months for the use of "MESM", it will be possible to complete the statistics and compilation within two months if he is supposed to calculate 18 months of national economic and demographic data. However, the previous "MESM" usage fee was too high, and various departments were waiting to use it, so I couldn't agree to his request. Finance Minister Comrade Pavlov and his need for a supercomputer for the Central Bank to process the financial data collected from the whole country, as well as the Jihua Economic Committee and other departments, all of them expressed their desire to get a supercomputer. As it stands, we need at least 20 to 30 MESMs. ”

Chairman Miding nodded: "Mass production is a good thing, now with high-performance tubes, our product quality can be very stable, and the number of maintenance personnel can be greatly reduced. Moreover, we will be able to train a large number of engineers in the computer industry in mass production, and in the future, we will even be able to export our supercomputer equipment to all socialist countries. According to intelligence, the American company IBM has begun to lease out the use of its commercial giant electronic computers, and the Soviet Union cannot lag behind, and we must provide more computing services to our socialist camp. ”

Stalin was embarrassed and said: "But the production of this kind of tube is still in the hands of the British, which really bothers me. I order that the Academy of Sciences of the USSR must immediately begin to analyze and imitate these new types of electron tubes, and to work out ways of industrial production until the cost is reduced, at least close to the smuggling price of the Chinese comrades! Comrade Midin, how long do you think it will take to reach this goal? ”

Midin hesitated for a moment and said: "It's hard to say, maybe 5 years, maybe more, the process of these tubes is very unique, the production of jishu is amazingly high, and the internal design is simply perfect, it has been streamlined to the extreme, after the analysis of various research instruments such as mass spectrometers and spectrometers, and even some of the materials used in these tubes are unprecedented new materials." In order to imitate, we must not only improve the process, but also make breakthroughs in the material, and as for the design, we can copy exactly these tubes. After all, this is already the perfect industrial artwork that can be called the most streamlined. Even the British, I don't think it can be further improved, this tube is already the limit of the current industrial level of mankind. ”

Stalin resolutely agreed: "I promise you that the Jihua Committee will fully support your research!" Maybe in at least five years, we will be able to have the same level of electron tubes as the United Kingdom and the United States, and this is worth the investment! ”

Molotov, a member of the Politburo of the Central Committee of the CPSU, looked at the price list and said: "How come the price of some tubes here is as high as 150 dollars?" Is it reasonable for your academy to analyze this price list? ”

Midin hurriedly replied, "Completely reasonable! This is the latest model of six-stage tube! For multi-stage amplification, our long-wave radio transmitters and radars need such high-performance tubes, and at present our Soviet Union produces only five-stage tubes, and the cost alone is much higher than this price, as for the quality ......"

As he spoke, Middin shook his head.

Molotov silently closed his mouth. When you can't make it, it's already thankful to be able to buy it, so what's the right to bargain?

Stalin pursed his lips tightly under his thick mustache and said after a moment: "Comrade Molotov, immediately after the dissolution of the meeting, you convey to the Chinese comrades the respect and thanks of the Supreme Presidium of the Soviets, emphasizing the closest fraternal feelings between China and the Soviet Union. You tell the Chinese comrades that these tubes were useful for the USSR! But the Soviets now need more of these tubes for socialist construction and scientific research. We can fully accept their offer, it is just that they need to expand the scale of smuggling. Before the Soviets could produce on their own, they had to reserve a part of it as an emergency resource.

In addition, you told the Chinese comrades to do everything possible to get on the line with the engineers or jishu workers in the British factories and try to get the production process and data drawings of this kind of tube. The Soviets can provide them with all the funds for their activities, and our spies in Europe can provide them with all the channels for the transfer of information. In short, no matter what means they use, no matter what the cost, the Soviets are willing to compensate them doubly! ”

Beria said with a light in his eyes: "According to the inference of our intelligence officers, this new type of electron tube of the British is very unfavorable for civilian promotion because of its high price, and the civilian electronics industry is still using ordinary electron tubes in the past. This kind of high-end goods can only be sold by military procurement, and the British government is now very short of money, and because of this, these profit-seeking capitalists will smuggle a large amount of money.

I agree with Marshal Stalin that we should encourage our comrades in China to be more active in trying to obtain these secrets and share them with us. But I think we should also give some benefits to our Chinese comrades as a reward now. ”

Malenkov nodded: "Yes, I agree with it too." The Chinese comrades are currently performing very well and have exceeded our expectations. And their country is still in an embarrassing state of primitive agriculture. I'm in favor of giving China some industrial jishu support, at least so that they can protect themselves militarily and be able to produce some light industrial products to meet domestic needs, China is too fragile at the moment, how can they resist American pressure in the East? ”

Stalin was embarrassed and said: "Mao Ke is not in a hurry at all, alas, he is not in a hurry, what is the use of us being in a hurry." There are some things that can only be understood when you suffer a loss. Still, we'll make it clear. Well, tell the Chinese comrades that the Soviets will not probe or try to take over the smuggling channels that replace them, and I know that they must have made a little bit of money, but this is also very reasonable, and we have no problem with that.

In addition, Kuznetsov was informed that the handover of the port must be completed by 17 August, without delay, and we must not show that we are untrustworthy. Moreover, it is better to complete this work in advance until July, and if it is handed over in advance, Shijie can see that we have no interest in China's territory, and Acheson's theory of Soviet aggression is completely slanderous! In addition, the construction of the graphite light water reactor in aid to China should be stepped up, and the construction of the new reactor No. 5 of the Soviet Union should be completed simultaneously! ”

Molotov said appreciatively: "I will convey these words to the Chinese comrades, and they will be very happy." ”

Mikoyan said at this time: "Chinese Ambassador Wang Jiaxiang proposed that he hoped to send four scientists to the Soviet Institute of Chemical Physics to study nuclear physics with Comrades Frerorov and Zeldovich. ”

Stalin thought for a moment and said: "They are all busy, there are too many people, two people, each with a graduate student." ”

When Chairman Midin saw Stalin's decision, he immediately said: "Haode, I'll make arrangements." ”
