Struggle in Soviet Russia

Chapter 529: technological breakthrough

The first ray of dawn in the morning sneaked into the bedroom through the gaps in the pink curtains, crossed the small bamboo coffee table in front of the window, and spread it slantingly on the rather messy large double bed, the tail of the light and shadow just swept across Victor. His closed eyes woke him from his deep sleep.

Turning his head to avoid the harsh light, Victor yawned, rubbed his eyes and stretched out his other hand, exploring the bed beside him. Soon, his fingertips touched a soft, smooth, yet elastic skin. At the same time, the woman's light laughter sounded in his ears. Before Victor could react, he felt something A scorching body pressed against his body, and at the same time, two soft lips pressed tightly against his lips.

Opening his still a little sour eyes, Victor glanced at the charming face who was close at hand, pursed his lips and smiled, and with a little force on his body, he turned over directly, and turned the woman who was originally pressing on him to his body, and then, In the other party's exclamation, he buried his entire face in the other party's plump chest.

"Di Di..."

The faint sound of the car whistle sounded outside the window, awakening Victor, who was in high spirits after waking up in the morning. He frowned, still maintaining the posture of pressing on the woman, and turned his head to look in the direction of the window.

"Di Di..."

There were two more car horns, this time the sound seemed to be clearer.

"It's not looking for you, is it?" Valentina lay on her back on the bed, staring at Victor with a wink, and panted.

Without speaking, Victor shrugged, rolled over and got up from the bed, stepped on the soft carpet and walked to the window, looking out through the gap in the curtains.

On the side of the street downstairs, a black Muscovite sedan was parked on the side of the road, and a young man was standing beside the car, talking to Varenka face to face.

Victor recognized at a glance that the young man was the one who picked him up at the train station yesterday. In other words, he should have been arranged by Comrade Malenkov.

"Is it looking for you?" Valentina's hot body pressed up from behind, tightly entangled behind him.

Last night, Victor was exhausted. After he came, he didn't even eat dinner. He simply took a shower and fell asleep, and he slept all night. The woman behind him was obsessed, showing a kind of Physiological needs, the kind that both men and women have.

"Yeah," Nodding, Victor turned around and stood with Valentina face to face, "I originally wanted to take a day off, but now it seems..."

He didn't say the following, just shrugged, the meaning was self-evident.

"I'm going to prepare breakfast for you," Valentina stood on tiptoe, kissed him on the forehead, and said with a smile, "I didn't eat last night, so I had to eat breakfast before leaving."

After speaking, she turned around and wanted to leave, but was pulled back by Victor's wrist.

"I think we've got time to do something other than breakfast," Viktor said, holding Valentina's wrist with one hand and her waist with the other, as Victor pushed her hard towards On the bedside, he lowered his voice and gasped.

The bedroom was quickly filled with a strange sound, and the rattling grandfather clock seemed to stop.

I don't know how long it took, but the quietness returned to the bedroom full of life. Victor, who was covered in sweat, rolled over from the bed and sat up. He glanced at Valentina, who was lying on the bed with his limbs stretched out. He smiled and said, "I'm going to take a shower first. If you want to have breakfast, you don't need to prepare too much. Complicated, simple is fine.”

"Well..." Valentina lay on her stomach and didn't understand, but only let out a coquettish hum from her throat.

Victor didn't know why Malenkov arranged for someone to pick him up so early. If nothing else happened, the nuclear power plant couldn't be discussed so quickly. Ganovich talked privately, and then one of the two raised objections at the working meeting of the Central Committee, so that the issue of location selection was transferred back to the People's Committee for re-discussion and decision.

Considering that Mikoyan is the current chairman of the People's Committee, it is unlikely that Comrade Stalin will talk to him directly. After all, the decisions of the People's Committee were made under the leadership of Mikoyan. Comrade Kaganovich is now participating in the formulation of the new five-year plan, and he is also actively participating in the daily work of the People's Committee. Coupled with the special relationship between him and Comrade Stalin, this work will probably be Leave it to him to finish.

Of course, Victor doesn't care much about who will do this work in the end. What he really cares about is whether this **** nuclear power plant project can land in the Karelia region.

After taking a shower, when Victor came out of the bathroom wearing a bathrobe, the messy big bed in the bedroom had been tidy up. There was a flat ironed brown suit, obviously for Victor.

Smiling unconsciously, Victor walked over to the bed and changed his clothes as quickly as possible before going out and going downstairs.

On the first floor of the villa, Varenka was already waiting in the living room with the young man beside the car. Seeing Victor coming downstairs, the two hurriedly stood up and saluted him.

"Why so early?" Victor asked after glancing at the young man, "Does Comrade Georgi have any new arrangements?"

"Good morning, Comrade Secretary Viktor Viktorovich," said the young man respectfully, "Comrade Malenkov asked me to send you a document."

Saying so, he lifted the briefcase in his right hand, opened the flip, took out a document bag from the inside, and handed it to Varenka with both hands. The latter took the document bag and hurried to Victor's side.

"A document?" Taking the document bag over, Viktor did not open the bag directly, but tucked it under his arm, and continued to ask, "Besides this document, what else can Comrade Georgi say to me? Did you bring it here?"

"No, Comrade Secretary Viktor Viktorovich," said the young man shaking his head, "he just asked me to send the documents, and there are no other orders."

"I see," Victor said, raising his eyebrows, "you go back first, if anything happens, I will contact Comrade Georgi."

"Goodbye then, Comrade Secretary Viktor Viktorovich," replied the young man, before turning to leave.

"Have you had breakfast?" Victor said to Varenka when the young man left.

"I've already eaten," Varenka nodded and said, "I drove the car over by the way. Do you have any plans for the morning?"

Victor didn't speak, just waved his hand absentmindedly as he walked towards the restaurant.

Valentina did not invite any service staff here, so she prepared breakfast herself, as Victor said, very simple, one sliced ​​red sausage, two slices of brown bread, and one borsch soup. .

When Victor sat down at the dining table, the first thing he did was to open the document bag and take out the documents inside.

This is a project initiation report submitted by the Electronic Laboratory of the Soviet Academy of Sciences. Victor read the thick document while eating breakfast.

According to the report, after nearly four years of cooperation with the Foreign Intelligence Bureau of the People's Commissariat of State Security and the Electronic Information Center, the Electronic Laboratory has made a huge breakthrough in its exclusive research field. The laboratory used about 5,000 electron tubes to create the first computer in the strict sense.

After seeing the content mentioned at the beginning of the report, Victor's mood suddenly changed. Yes, this project was initiated by him and fully supported. For this reason, the Foreign Intelligence Bureau is not less in The Americans worked hard, and now, after several years of hard work, the first computer belonging to the Alliance has finally been built.

In fact, in the past few years, the Soviet Academy of Sciences has built more than one computer, but... according to the Academy of Sciences, those computers are not "strictly" computers, because they do not Mathematical operations in the true sense, but only logical operations.

Now this computer named "BESM" by the Academy of Sciences is a computer that can really perform mathematical operations. According to the data provided by the Academy of Sciences, this computer can perform 8,000 to 10,000 operations per second, which means that the power consumption is relatively large. Without special cooling measures, the machine needs to consume 30 kilowatts of electricity per hour to run.

The successful emergence of this computer has given great confidence to the Academy of Sciences. Academician Lebedev, who led the research and development of the project, even believes that the emergence of this computer will usher in a new era in human history. What kind of response does Moscow give to it? Don't pay too much attention.

The report in the hands of Victor, in addition to reporting the results to the Central Committee, if asking for policy support, the relevant experts of the Academy of Sciences proposed that the alliance should set up an "Institute of Precision Instrument and Computer Engineering", specializing in computer and computer related. Scientific research work, once a breakthrough is made in this research work, it will provide several times or even hundreds or thousands of times the computing power of the human brain for scientific research projects in almost all fields of the alliance.

Victor read the report from beginning to end, and finally understood why Comrade Malenkov sent this document to himself. Obviously, he should support the Academy of Sciences. In other words, the special committee he led was a The department supported the establishment of the "Institute of Precision Instrument and Computer Engineering", and once the project was approved by the People's Committee, the follow-up procedure would be site selection. Victor certainly hoped to seize this opportunity.
