No one knew what this minor operation at the Baikonur Cosmodrome meant.
No one even knows - because it's a secret.
On this day, a plane from the Baikonur Cosmodrome arrived in Moscow. Soon an officer from the Ministry of Internal Affairs got off the plane carrying a refrigerated box and got into an ambulance that had been waiting for a long time. car.
In that freezer was a frozen tissue sample—the polyp cut out of Korolev’s body.
As a national treasure-level scientist, his physical condition naturally attracts great attention. So the tissue samples were sent to the Ministry of Health in Moscow for examination.
Not only is this kind of treatment not available to other scientists, even high-level officials may not be able to enjoy it.
As the First Vice Chairman of the State Radio and Electronics Commission, Alexander Shokin does not enjoy such treatment. Even to see a doctor in a Moscow hospital, he has to queue up because the special outpatient clinic has been cancelled.
However, for Xiao Jin, he had not considered this issue at all. At this time, Xiao Jin was immersed in his great cause-the construction of Zelenograd!
It was a satellite city of Moscow, a science city.
During the annual review of construction projects in Moscow last year, Shokin saw a report on serious imbalances in the construction of a satellite city originally planned to be a textile center, so he immediately came up with an idea - hoping to persuade Khrushchev to build a satellite city based on the semiconductor industry. A scientific new city with the focus.
In order to realize this plan, Shokin managed to arrange for Khrushchev to visit the Second Special Design Bureau of the Electronic Industry in Petrograd, which was the Frontier Research Institute of Electronic Technology of the Soviet Union. To impress him, the design bureau spent weeks preparing for the visit.
Finally, under Xiao Jin's careful planning, Khrushchev came. Shokin also performed his duties perfectly - promoting the soon-to-be-established top-level microelectronics center to Khrushchev. Researchers showed Khrushchev the first Soviet microcomputer with primitive architecture that could print his own name. It is an imitation of Wang An 100. It appeared one year later than Wang An 100, and only a few units were produced.
During the visit, Shokin also personally inserted a miniature radio receiver, also known as a miniature radio, into Khrushchev's ear. Although it only captured two local stations, it was much smaller than a tube radio.
Facing this candy-sized radio, Harushchev was naturally ecstatic, asked a lot of questions, and was as happy as a child - he had seen this thing at NBC, and NBC made a lot of money by exporting radios like this.
Soon, Shokin handed him the plan to build a science city in Zelenograd and introduced it to him.
Khrushchev was immediately fascinated by this grand project. He also gave Xiao Jin a hug and promised his full support. A few months later, the Kremlin approved plans to build a Semiconductor City on the outskirts of Moscow.
So Zelenograd was transformed from a textile city into a science city, which means "green city" in Russian - but in fact, it was designed to be a science paradise. Shokin wanted it to be a perfect scientific settlement, with research laboratories and production facilities, as well as schools, daycares, cinemas, libraries and hospitals - everything a semiconductor engineer needed could be found here. Close to the city center is a university, Moscow Institute of Electronic Technology.
At this time, in the research laboratory in Zelenograd,
Shokin called the city's head, his student Fedor Viktorovich Lukin, and a group of other engineers to his laboratory.
Then, pointing to a microprocessor under the microscope, he said:
"Do you know what this is?"
Facing Xiao Jin's question, Fedor and others all looked at each other in shock. Fedor said:
""Athlon processor" manufactured by NBC International Electronics."
Of course he knew about it. Over the past few weeks in the lab, researchers had polished the International Electronics processor and examined its circuitry under a microscope.
"No, this is sand!"
Xiao Jin said excitedly:
"A piece of sand is worth 13,000 rubles, which is 12,832 grams of gold! How much does it weigh? It's only a few dozen grams. But for these tens of grams, we need to buy it with 12,832 grams of gold. Even so, they don't Willing to sell to us openly!”
Of course, what Xiao Jin said is a bit extreme. This is definitely not sand, but science! It's technology!
It’s black technology!
"Why are we using so much gold to buy this from them?"
Looking around at the people around him, Xiao Jin said:
"Because we don't have it, because we need it! Because we can't make it."
While speaking, he put it under his microscope and carefully observed the processor through the lens.
In this finger-sized processor, the width of the transistors is only 50 microns, and it contains more than 3,000 transistors. This is simply incredible!
But this is the fact. After staring at the microscope for a while, Xiao Jin raised his head, looked at his students and other scientists, and said directly:
"I don't know when you were able to make a similar processor, but now..."
Staring at them, Xiao Jin ordered:
"Copy it for me! Copy it completely for me, without any deviation, and give you three months. I want to see our own "Athlon processor"!"
In this way, with Shokin's order, no matter how reluctant the Soviet scientists were, they had to start working - copying NBC's processor. It was on this day that the Soviet microelectronics industry began its "hand-rubbing" journey.
When that butterfly in South America flapped its wings, it didn't know what to expect. But hurricanes in the Pacific are indeed changing a lot of things.
As for the intensity of this hurricane, I am afraid only God knows, or in other words, time will tell everything.

Natalia, wearing a spring dress and carrying a suitcase, walked into the airport. There was no one seeing her off but herself.
After walking into the customs channel, the customs officer at the customs window took the passport and looked at her and asked.
"Going to study abroad?"
"Yes, an exchange student from Moscow State University."
Natalia replied.
Not everyone in the Soviet Union could apply for a passport; only those with official permission could obtain one.
In this case, the customs clearance inquiry is just a matter of official business.
Soon, Natalia got on the plane. The cabin was empty and there were not many passengers. After finding her seat, she was slightly startled when she saw the passengers beside her.
The passenger sitting next to me is a young NBC man.
Why did you recognize that the other person was from NBC at a glance?
Because of the way he was dressed, his woolen suit was not only exquisitely made, but also fashionable. It was definitely not sold in a Moscow store.
Looking up, Zhou Bicheng's eyes flashed with surprise. In Russia, beautiful girls are very common, but this girl is even more beautiful.
Although he was stunning, he didn't bother the other party, he just sat there and looked at the magazine in his hand.
Although he did not strike up a conversation, Natalia took the initiative to strike up a conversation and said:
"Do you speak Russian?"
Because he was reading a Russian art magazine.
"No."
Shaking his head, Zhou Bicheng said:
"I can only see some pictures. I am a construction engineer and I think the Soviet architectural design style is very unique, so..."
It was only then that Zhou Bicheng was surprised and said:
"I didn't realize that you didn't speak Russian? Your English is so fluent, I didn't even hear much of an accent."
"That's why I came to study with you. What about you? Why did you come to Moscow? To travel?"
"I came here to work in the construction of automobile manufacturing plants."
During the rest of the journey, they chatted a lot, and Zhou Bicheng even asked her to teach him Russian. After all, if you have many skills, learning a foreign language is also a good thing.
Sometimes, the fate between people is very wonderful, and two young people met like this.
More than ten hours later, the Tu114 aircraft landed at the Singapore Airport - this flight to Chang'an also carried routes including New Delhi and Singapore.
After the plane landed, Vetrov, who was sitting in the back row, got off the plane. As an intelligence officer of the KGB, his life was more like a Chekhov story than a popular one in the past two years. James Bond movies.
His KGB job was a transactional one, his mistress was far from a supermodel, and his wife was more affectionate toward her dog than to him. Even Vetrov's career and his life have come to an end. He despised his office job and was ignored by his superiors. He also hates his wife because she is having an affair with one of his friends.
To relax, he either goes to a cabin in a village north of Moscow, which has no electricity and is very primitive, or he stays in Moscow and gets drunk.
Now, though, Vetrov's life suddenly isn't so boring. Now he's got a good foreign position. As a "foreign trade officer", he came to Star City, and according to the order, his task was to establish a trading company here.
According to the "trade" strategy formulated by the bureau, while keeping NBC's high-tech industry secrets, he also needs to set up a shell company to purchase high-tech products from NBC. This is what they have always done, as long as they are willing to transfer a whole batch of It is usually not difficult to transfer integrated circuits to the Soviet Union. After all, those things are on the market, and they are small and very easy to carry.
Just when Vetrov entered Star City through airport customs and was about to start his journey, a butterfly was gently flapping its wings in Southeast Asia...
