Chapter 122 122 Gregory Kirk
Moscow, an unknown place, not even in any official archives, not marked on the map, never seen alive in or out of Moscow, but only a handful of Soviet people know about this place, not even those in power, where the most wonderful brains of the Soviets are located. So there is a name that is not widely circulated, called Таинственныйдворец, which means "mysterious palace" in Chinese.
If the Celestial Empire is still treating black technology as a by-product of climbing the science and technology tree, and even trying to avoid it, then Mao Xiong is engaged in black technology as an industry. The Mystery Palace is actually a concentration place for the Soviets to study various mysterious phenomena or extraordinary black technologies.
Gregory? Kirk was a tall, somewhat bloated scientist with a melon face, a Mediterranean head, and small round glasses framed in his somewhat cross-eyed eyes, and if he hadn't pursued a career in science and devoted himself to comedy, he would probably have achieved something.
However, no one dares to despise and underestimate Kirk, this comical-looking scientist is definitely not a good stubble, there have been many colleagues who have had unpleasant feelings with him at work, all of whom have died unexpectedly because of one thing or another, and the most unlucky one is said to have been sent to the road, not even a piece of clothing left.
I don't know if Kirk sent that poor ghost to the other world.
Kirk didn't know that a colleague in China had developed such a black technology as the Red Police Base, but now his whole mind was already in the universe.
In the Mysterious Palace, several bigwigs from the ****** of the CPSU are gathered here, but even if they are in high power, no one dares to stand in front of Kirk, but they all seem to be extremely easy, as if they are on an equal footing with Kirk. The bigwigs here are First Deputy Secretary Aliyev, Defense Minister Sokolov, and KGB head Chebrikov, and the three of them happen to know what kind of existence Dork Kirk really is. On the other hand, the map head, which is now in the limelight, has little understanding of Kirk, and is not even familiar with the existence of the Mystery Palace.
Kirk pointed to the stack of materials on the table, and said in his breathless tone: "Our communication satellites have captured that thing as it approaches the Earth, constantly emitting a special wave in the frequency band, and this wave is not the type that humans on our Earth are used to, and these waves always maintain the same pattern in transmission. ”
Sokolov asked, in an instructive manner, "So what does this mean?" ”
Kirk lifted the frame of his glasses, and explained with an attitude that you mortals are really weak: "A flying machine approaching the Earth at high speed, it is very likely that it is piloted by the advanced life of an extraterrestrial civilization, think about it with an ordinary head, under what circumstances would you send a message repeatedly?" ”
Chebrikov guessed: "The last ultimatum, or would you like to contact us?" ”
Kirk smiled and said, "There are also these possibilities, but if the universe is a sea, and our planet is a land, a small boat that has been sailing for an unknown period of time is about to crash headlong into this land, what kind of communication do you say the people on board will send?" ”
“Mayday! (International distress signal)" Chebrikov's eyes lit up.
Aliyev said suspiciously: "But you told us that this suspected spacecraft is slowing down, and it is obvious that there are other plans, and it doesn't seem like there is something wrong." ”
Kirk said disdainfully: "I have done a lot of calculations, even with the current deceleration, this spacecraft will still plunge headlong on the surface of our planet at a speed beyond the standard, and the rational choice is to do a hover in low earth orbit first, wait until the observation is clear, and the landing site is selected, and then land." It will never be like this, they can't even change the track. ”
Sokolov clenched his fists and said with an ambitious look, "Professor Kirk, you mean that this ship will crash on our borders, and it will most likely not be able to function effectively, and it will not be a loss to us. ”
Chebrikov continued: "And we can also get the science and technology of the aliens as a means of countering the Yankees!" ”
Kirk put his hands behind his back, acting like a lonely man, and said, "That's pretty much what it means, but the precautions that should be done still have to be done." In addition, we don't know if this thing will eventually be completely destroyed, so that there will be no value at all. ”
Aliyev looked at the map spread out on the table and said with some hesitation: "If the calculation is correct, then it is also possible that this thing will fall to the side of the Chinese?" ”
Kirk's originally proud face suddenly turned blue, and then he turned around and said in a sinister tone: "Several secretaries and ministers, there is no doubt that if this thing is obtained by the Chinese, it will be a huge threat to the Soviets, and now the Chinese have relied on the 9527 project to catch up in science and technology and industry, and if we get technology from aliens, then our dream of dominating the world will be over, so in any case, we can't let the Chinese get these things." ”
Sokolov stood up and said, "That means war, even nuclear war." ”
The corners of Kirk's mouth were torn behind the roots of his ears, looking a little terrifying, "Nuclear war?" What an exhilarating thing that is. ”
The three ****** bigwigs shivered in unison, obviously their normal thinking could not keep up with Kirk, a scientific pervert.
"I can see that you want to be cowards, but what are the Chinese afraid of? Even if their military strength has recently increased, they are still dirty compared to the powerful Soviets. Besides, it's just breaking into their borders and taking something that doesn't belong to them in the first place, so what's the fuss about? With the Chinese character of being accustomed to forbearance, we will definitely not make any overreactions, and when the time comes, you will exercise again at the diplomatic level, and the whole thing will be over, and we will get the greatest benefit. "Kirk is not a simple technocrat or a political idiot, on the contrary, he can stay out of the top for a long time and always maintain his status as a czar in the scientific community, Kirk has enough political vigilance and calculation.
Sokolov thought for a while, and finally nodded, he said: "The big deal is that Zhenbao Island is once again, if we can scare China and let them focus on preparing for war instead of economic construction, it will also be very beneficial to us." ”
Aliyev listened to Sokolov's words and agreed: "That's right, the General Secretary's speech about what new thinking is completely out of the line of our fighting nation, and the peace of the Soviets is not achieved by groveling and imitating the rotten bugs of capitalism. Since the Chinese have been showing their faces very recently, let's give them a good beating and let them know who is the one who is right. ”
At this time, Chebrikov asked: "So how to tell Comrade Gorbachev?" ”
Kirk looked at Chebrikov with a cold gaze and smiled wryly: "How do you tell him that it's your business, but I don't mind what happened to Andropov to our general secretary." With that, he turned around and left, leaving the three ****** officers hanging there.
Chebrikov, who listened to Kirk's words, shuddered, and saw the fear in the eyes of several people next to him. As the leader of the Soviet Union after Brezhnev, Andropov was once a figure who called for wind and rain. But at a tech show in the Mysterious Palace, one of the devices made by Kirk suddenly malfunctions, and it does not have the effect actually claimed. Andropov, who hated the so-called mystics and false scientists, counted Kirk in front of everyone and said that he should go to the theater of Leningrad to be a burlesque actor.
Kirk held a grudge, but showed no resentment. It was not long after Andropov's visit to Afghanistan in 1977 that he suddenly contracted a virus that caused him to lose his eyebrows, scabs all over his face, and strands of hair falling down. Even stranger, he often fainted without warning, unconscious. Andropov, who was originally healthy, has since become a sick child, suffering from high blood pressure, diabetes, arrhythmia, salmonellosis, atherosclerosis, colitis, arthritis, lichen, gout, and myocardial infarction. Finally, in 1984, the head of the CPSU died of kidney disease.
Chebrikov, a longtime KGB worker, had an aide from Kirk who had secretly arrived at the place where Andropov was staying before his visit to Afghanistan, and it is not known what he did. The assistant also mysteriously disappeared after the eventual investigation, making it impossible for Chebrikov to continue the investigation.
Chebrikov told his suspicions to Chernenko, the new leader, who was the successor to Andropov, immediately orchestrated a purge of the Mystical Palace, while Kirk, the culprit, was shot dead without trial and his body burned by the KGB. But the strangest thing is that not long after, Chernenko died strangely of illness, but Kirk returned to the Palace of Mystery, as if he had never died.
Since then, Chebrikov has been told by Kirker to be submissive. Even death can't stop this terrible freak, so what's the threat of even the invincible KGB? As a result, Kirk's story was kept secret by Chebrikov, and only a few people knew about it, including Aliyev and Sokolov here. As for the map head, Chebrikov did not tell him in order to give him a few more years to live.
So what Kirk told them to do at the moment is really much more useful than what Gorbachev told them to do.
