Lysenko decided to give the general another ride as a sign of friendship.
Yang Mingzhi did not object. After dinner, he could walk on the road inside the Academy of Sciences and take a look at the night view.
The lights in the canteen buildings are still on, and many buildings in the distance are also dotted with stars.
Yang Mingzhi asked: "Comrade Dean, it seems that the power supply here has always been sufficient."
"Of course, the supply of thermal coal has always been stable. Sufficient electricity ensures the electricity demand of the entire city, and also ensures the stable production of all factories. Maybe you should take the time to go to the old city to see the night view of the city. All factories will not be shut down due to nightfall.
Stop and the whole city will be bright."
After hearing what he said, Yang Mingzhi turned his head and looked to the southeast. That was the main part of the city, but it didn't have the "bright lights" in his concept.
Perhaps in New York in this time and space, millions of neon lights have made Long Island as bright as day. There is an absolute lack of neon lights in the Soviet Union. Novosibirsk will never encounter enemy air attacks, and there are no anti-aircraft searchlights.
Yang Mingzhi asked by the way: "Have electric lights been installed in most citizens' homes?"
"Certainly, at least here, candles and kerosene lamps have been marginalized."
Lysenko was extremely proud when he said this, because the Academy of Sciences moved here and a large amount of science and technology was brought here.
Making light bulbs is not a high-end technology. A factory that produces glass also produces a batch of incandescent lamps. The so-called first-come-first-served basis means that at least Novosibirsk has completed the popularization of electricity.
Today, only a few cities in the Soviet Union have basically completed the popularization of light bulbs. In the vast rural areas, people still have to rely on traditional kerosene lamps for lighting at night.
Lysenko mentioned the arrangements for tomorrow by the way: "General, we will issue a certificate of honor to you tomorrow, at ten o'clock in the morning. After the ceremony, you will be an honorary academician of the glorious All-Soviet Academy of Sciences."
"Really? Thank you so much."
"In the morning, the canteen will deliver breakfast directly to your weapons design bureau. After the meal, a special car will take you directly to the auditorium."
"Thank you. I'm looking forward to it. It's a wonderful tomorrow."
Yang Mingzhi has always felt that it is really daunting to become an academician of the Soviet Academy of Sciences one day. If he thinks about it carefully, if a high-tech talent like himself cannot win this honor, who else can?
There is a difference between honorary academician and academician. From the perspective of personal honor, "honorary academician" can be described as a higher-level award.
It is said that becoming an honorary academician can enjoy all the rights and interests of a regular academician, such as a large sum of money. Today, academicians also receive various bonuses?
Money is a good thing, and Novosibirsk is also a big city, but now, you don’t have to expect anything good in this big city with a population of one million people - the Soviet Union has never had a prosperous commodity economy.
Everyone's body was warm, and the cold Siberian wind lifted up their slightly depressed spirits.
After walking for a while, Yang Mingzhi felt that his body was getting warmer and he was in good spirits.
The group did not go far when Lysenko said that the square in the distance was the current address of the "Pripyat Arms Design Bureau".
"General, look, that's your design bureau! There are offices, dormitories, and even an independent bathhouse. You are a general, and we have prepared a completely independent dormitory for you. You can work and live here, I can
Guaranteed, you will have a very comfortable stay.”
Yang Mingzhi nodded: "Thank you, let's go take a look?"
"Then let me show you around for a little while."
Although it was late at night, there were street lights on both sides of the road, so I could basically see the surrounding buildings.
They are all very traditional Russian-style woodcarvings. Each room is very wide and almost identical. It is obvious that they are all built uniformly.
The walking roads are all paved with cement. Even if they are now small roads, they are still completely cement roads. However, there are a lot of bare flat land on both sides of the road, and there are also low and slender pine trees planted in some places. Obviously, the trees are also striking.
Planted.
Lysenko said with some regret: "I'm sorry, the entire Academy of Sciences campus was built in a surprise attack. In a short period of time, the country can only build a large number of wooden buildings. I hope you can adapt to working in such an environment."
"Haha, how can I not adapt to it?"
Lysenko thought the general was being modest, but in fact he was not.
"Comrade Dean, the environment here makes me feel a sense of intimacy. We are in the Guerrilla Republic, and all the buildings are made of wood, and the quality is not as good as what I have seen. I also saw that there are always erected on one side of the road.
The huge pipes, the heating pipes, will keep all the houses warm. Should I ask for better? No! I can't thank you enough."
"You're welcome. You are a general and you should enjoy higher treatment. The overall housing situation in Novosibirsk is not very good. I am glad that you have no objection to the current housing."
"How can I have an opinion? I heard that hundreds of thousands of people immigrated here in a surprise attack, and the city's population nearly doubled. At least as a scientific worker, I can still have proper housing."
"Your consciousness is very high, I appreciate it very much." It was a boring exchanging of ideologies, and it would be boring to talk too much. Lysenko mentioned practical matters by the way: "There are currently more than 20 research projects of various sizes in the hospital.
All groups live in the dormitory area of the hospital. There are as many as 4,000 scientific researchers in the entire hospital!"
"Wow! It's already a small city."
"There are 4,000 scientific research personnel, as well as some administrative staff, auxiliary staff, and even soldiers responsible for security. Adding all the personnel together, there are nearly 10,000 residents of various types in the entire huge hospital. Our place has become a new
Satellite city in Siberia. Come with me now, have you seen those trucks? The place where they stop is your design bureau warehouse."
Yang Mingzhi preferred to meet with his fellows. It was not enough to meet just one Popov. He also brought many experienced young people with him. They must be sitting in a warm room.
Soon, under the direct leadership of Lysenko, two thick wooden doors were opened.
Yang Mingzhi finally stepped into his weapons research institute.
When he arrived here, Lysenko could finally say that his reception mission was successfully completed. He perfectly completed the first task assigned by the leader, and did not stay again. He only exchanged a few words of greetings, and finally put down a пока and took his entourage with him.
left.
…
"Okay! Comrades from the Weapons Design Bureau! Comrade Dean has gone back, and now your director is standing here."
Yang Mingzhi smiled, stretched out his arms, and made a gorgeous appearance like an angel, causing the entire office to burst into cheers.
Although they had not seen each other for only half a month, those young people from the design bureau who had traveled all the way from Belarus to the hinterland of Siberia felt that the separation from the director seemed as long as half a century.
They are extremely excited inside, but their behavior is very restrained.
They all knew that Comrade Director had arrived today, and also knew the Director's preferences, so they all stayed at the clean and tidy workbench and continued to sort out the technical drawings they had brought back, hoping that the visiting Director could see how serious everyone was.
"No need to say any welcome. I am really happy to see that the comrades are working hard. I don't know what results you have achieved in the two weeks without my supervision. Now, comrades, all assemble!"
Yang Mingzhi announced the order in a loud voice, and everyone in the design department left their workstations and formed two horizontal lines.
Second Lieutenant Grishenko was also in the team, standing beside the general.
The whole scene has a rather comical charm.
Yang Mingzhi put his hands behind his back and scanned the two teams with sharp eyes. He especially noticed that there were more people in the design bureau, and there were actually some unfamiliar new faces among them.
"It seems that there are old comrades here, as well as many new comrades! No matter old or new comrades, you are all my subordinates now. Grishenko!" Yang Mingzhi suddenly turned his head.
"arrive!"
"Now, obey my order. From now on, your troops will serve as security guards for the entire weapons design bureau!"
"As you command!"
"You and your people execute the order immediately and everyone stands guard at the door!"
"As you command!"
Under this situation, the old people in the design bureau fully understood that the man named Grishenko whom the director greeted had obviously become the "new Abram".
"Okay, Bessika, Anne, you two go ahead and move the chairs and sit quietly."
Star Tao said oh, took the hand of the maid Anne, and avoided it for the time being very skillfully.
The most important thing about a weapons design bureau is not the scientific research equipment and large amounts of data and drawings, the only important thing is the talents within it.
"Everyone stand at attention and stand completely!"
Yang Mingzhi suddenly lectured loudly, and then took three steps forward. He could walk up to the new face in the team, exactly like an officer looking at new recruits, he aimed at a young man with a new face, and the two were almost face to face.
Looking at each other at close range, Yang Mingzhi could not see any fear in this man. He seemed to be a soldier, the kind of fearless warrior who is not afraid of death in battle.
But this person is by no means a soldier. He should have the qualifications of an elite soldier and must have an extraordinary mind, so he can serve in the weapons design bureau.
Yang Mingzhi noticed Popov's reaction out of the corner of his eye. It was obvious that he wanted to say something, but now he was hesitant.
After staring at him for a while, Yang Mingzhi developed strong emotions about this person.
"Comrade, what is your name?"
"Semyon Ilyich Dobrov. Comrade Director."
"Very good, Comrade Dobrov. I can see that you are very young. Tell me why you came to my weapons design bureau. Do you think that when you come to me, you can contribute to the alliance and the victory of the war?"
Or for yourself?!"
"Comrade Director, I am a graduate of Moscow University, majoring in machinery. The organization assigned me to your weapons design bureau. I contribute all my abilities and work hard for the victory of the country."
"Indeed, you must work hard for the country." Yang Mingzhi nodded: "So, how much do you know about my weapons design bureau?"
"It's a great design bureau."
"Haha, great?! Popov." Yang Mingzhi turned around, "It seems that these new comrades are still very unfamiliar with work."
"I'm sorry." Popov said awkwardly: "These new comrades just got off the train three days ago. I and other comrades tried to inform them of the glorious history of the Design Bureau. They were not those who experienced it. Maybe they can't fully understand it.
."
Yang Mingzhi nodded: "Perhaps, Comrade Dobrov, you and other new comrades still cannot realize the existence of the weapons design bureau you are joining now. Old comrades, don't be proud, because,
None of you know what kind of business we will create!
Since all the comrades from the design bureau are here, as the director, it is necessary for me to hold a temporary meeting for you."
Yang Mingzhi was not standing here to impress his subordinates. He did not intend to show off his power, but this move was really unnerving.
He looked at all the people again and suddenly realized that someone was missing.
"Ah? Popov! Where did that old guy Liguschkov go? And Ivanov! You got on the plane together and went to Novosibirsk together."
"Ah! I was just about to report this to you!"
Yang Mingzhi was not surprised at all. Because he had mastered the technology of manufacturing rocket launchers with a range of 40 kilometers, Liguschkov was awarded the status of an academician of the Soviet Academy of Sciences. Because he was a native Soviet citizen, there was no "honor" before the title.
word.
As expected, Liguschkov was half a century old when he left the swamp, and his life finally ushered in glory.
In this time and space, all those who study rockets are pioneers in this field. Liguschkov is a half-way monk. In today's Soviet Union, he is really a rare talent. As Popov said, Liguschkov has just been awarded the title of "Academician"
"Professional title, he will get a new appointment soon.
Liguschkov himself was in charge of a project team, and even directly controlled a factory, specializing in the production of long-range rocket launchers, that is, the work of replicating the "Flying Fish" rocket launcher. He has achieved success, and the rocket launchers have finally begun mass production.
"So, that old guy is still in the factory staring at the production line? He doesn't even have time to see me?" Yang Mingzhi pretended to be unhappy, but he was very happy in his heart.
After all, he is the first designer of the "Flying Fish" rocket launcher. It has finally begun mass production, which means his great success!
"Where is Ivanov?" Yang Mingzhi continued to ask.
"Unfortunately, he took the Eastern train the day before yesterday and went to work in Irkutsk, just to instruct the chemical factory there to produce military explosives."
Hearing this, Yang Mingzhi felt a little regretful: "What a pity. When I arrived in Novosibirsk, he ran further to Dongfeng! That man is obviously someone who can deploy hydrazine hydrate!"
"You mean high-energy fuel?" Popov said eagerly, "Comrade Liguschkov is also the director of the arsenal, and his factory is also responsible for the final assembly of rocket launchers! He can get all kinds of materials, even those for sterilization
Potions are available.”
"Can you get ethane ethane? I remember that the chemical plant in Kazan produces this stuff."
"This..." Popov felt that he was bragging and immediately changed his mind: "You should ask him. I'll make a call. As long as you understand, I think he will come by car tonight."
"Okay! Go quickly!"
Liguschkov rushed to make a phone call. Standing in front of many new and old subordinates, Yang Mingzhi became even more energetic.
"Comrades! Especially old comrades. Our current situation is really like May. Our weapons design bureau provides drawings, and Liguschkov's arsenal is responsible for manufacturing. And what about me? I no longer have to deal with food, military
We are so overwhelmed with things that we just need to focus on making weapons. Maybe some of you think that the design bureau will continue to delve into the field of rocket launchers? Yes, of course we will continue to delve into it. But we must open up new areas, and we must make the weapons design bureau
Become stronger and bigger and become a comprehensive weapons design bureau!
This is not just for the Soviet Union, nor is it just for winning the war as soon as possible. It is also a personal struggle for all of us! We have to do it for the honor of the alliance, for the honor of the soldiers, and for our personal honor.
I can responsibly tell you that many of my plans were tied up in the swamp. Now that we have a large amount of production materials, I will put these plans into action immediately.
From now on, we will all be busy and very fulfilled.
I will ask you to work hard, and of course I will work very hard. Do you feel nervous when I say these words? Don’t worry, I am your director and you are my subordinates. We are all the same
Comrades in the trenches, now I have to at least give you some encouragement." (To be continued)
