Chapter 1433 Pest? No, they are all talents (first update, please subscribe)
Which institution is the most feared in Moscow?
Of course it was the KGB.
Dzerzhinsky Square, located at the end of Karl Marx Street, has been an extremely terrifying presence for many years. It was once the interrogation center and prison of Lubyanka. It's everyone's nightmare.
This everyone is everyone in the true sense. Everyone except one person may enter here. People who are high during the day will come here at night and be interrogated. After the interrogation is over, the interrogator will , may become the subject of interrogation by others.
In short, this place is absolutely terrifying!
Like all the offices in the building, this one had the obligatory portrait of the mentor on one wall and a photo of Dzerzhinsky himself on the other.
There was a window in the room overlooking the square, and the windows were hung with curtains. People standing by the window will definitely see the statue of the founder of "Cheka" through the window again. The 6-meter-high bronze statue stands in the center of the square, with his eyes staring into the distance.
At this time, the door opened.
"Comrade Colonel, this is the information that just came from Budapest."
"Oh."
said Ivanovsky at the window.
The major handed over a long envelope, and Ivanovsky took it.
"And this."
Major Nicholas said, and another envelope, and said:
“This is a photo we took outside the Budapest representative office. Although they are wearing masks and sunglasses, it can be seen from their clothing that at least half of them are from us. Now every day, people are fleeing to the West through Budapest. world.
Colonel, do we need to take any action? ”
Listening to the major's report, Ivanovsky thought for a while and said:
"It's just a few "pests"! It's not worth doing anything now, just leave it to the local police to investigate."
In Ivanovsky's view, the escape of a few "pests" was not a big problem at all, and it even helped them "get rid of the pests."
Saying this, Ivanovsky opened the envelope. The information in the envelope was information about Li Yian's visit to Hungary. Many of them were leaked by high-level officials. Looking through the information, he said:
"It seems that their cooperation during this visit is still limited to economic and industrial cooperation, well..."
Nodding, Ivanovsky put the information into an envelope and said:
"The Kremlin should be able to rest assured now."
Then Ivanovsky took the envelope and went to see Shelepin. As for the other envelope, he didn't even glance at it.
Just some pests gone.
When leaving the office, Ivanovsky glanced out the window again. A trolley bus had just passed through the square on Marx Street opposite the bronze statue.
Boris Westfeller, who was sitting in the car, glanced at the building behind the square. Although he had not experienced that special era due to his age, when he saw the building, he still felt... A nameless fear.
Soon, however, Boris Westfeller continued to ponder academic issues.
"With the new electronic computer, we should be able to make some new breakthroughs..."
As a member of the Department of Mathematics at the Institute of Theoretical and Experimental Physics, Boris has been conducting mathematical research with colleagues Andre Lehmann and others under the leadership of Alexander Kronrod, head of the Department of Mathematics. Although their research The direction is mainly innovation in the field of nuclear physics, but Kronrod has a say in the content and direction of the research, so they are studying a completely new direction, and benefiting from research in the field of nuclear physics, he and his team can Work on advanced computers.
"The problem of graph isomorphism..."
When Boris Westfeller was thinking about the topic of their research, he did not know that, in fact, the research conducted by the Department of Mathematics led by Kronrod was the earliest AI laboratory in mankind.
There was no financial industry in the Soviet Union, so a large proportion of mathematics talents embarked on the path of scientific research. The machine learning model discussed above is essentially a graph theory problem. For scientific researchers with a Mathematical Olympiad background, this technology can almost be brought to its extreme.
This laboratory should have a promising future, but its subsequent development encountered setbacks due to political reasons. However, the algorithms they invented still have a profound impact on AI technology in the new century. At this time, these best mathematicians are exploring artificial intelligence bit by bit in "computer chess".
And their research also benefited from the Soviet system. Benefiting from the full application of talents in mathematics, it gave them a platform for free development, although the official alienation of scientific research into a tool for war. But in contrast, in the Western world, a large number of mathematical talents "waste" their intelligence in the financial field.
In any case, compared to their counterparts in Europe and the United States, people in this laboratory are laying the foundation for the development of AI. With the help of new computers, their research in areas such as algorithms will only go faster and further.
When Boris arrived at the institute, he found that the atmosphere today seemed a little abnormal. Two police officers were searching the office of a colleague.
Soon Boris found out from his colleagues what had happened.
"Alexei fled."
Boris said in surprise:
"What? Him? Isn't he on vacation? When did it happen?" "It was while I was on vacation."
Lyman said:
"He, his wife and children took the opportunity to travel to Hungary. He has been missing for half a month now. According to the police's speculation, it is very likely that he obtained a foreign visa from there and went abroad. He may now be enjoying life in Southeast Asia. Sun and beach.”
When he mentioned them, Lyman's eyes changed slightly, but then he still told everyone to let everyone work with peace of mind and not to be affected by these things.
After the search, the police from the Ministry of Internal Affairs said to them:
"Well, we didn't find anything unusual, and we don't know what happened to them. However, they disappeared after leaving the country. This is a very dangerous thing. You may not be aware of it. Budapest is now full of people. There are all kinds of speculators, as well as gangsters, and because of the events a few years ago, many Hungarians are hostile to us, so..."
The police officer looked at the mathematicians in front of him and said solemnly:
"Alexei, his wife and children may have encountered something unexpected, so if you travel abroad in the future, try to avoid going to Hungary."
Is this true?
Who knows the truth?
But as we all know, it is impossible for Hungary to provide Moscow with a list of people leaving the country. Although the Ministry of Internal Affairs can obtain the list of people leaving the country through some special channels, it is only a part of it. For most people, they are unable to control it.
Therefore, in many cases, they can only classify people who have not returned for a long time after leaving the country as "missing persons". As for where he disappeared?
I'm afraid only God knows.
Of course, the missing person himself knows it.
While the police were conducting a missing persons investigation at the institute, Liliana had already arrived at the customs at the Budapest Airport. When passing through the customs, she nervously took out her passport.
"Ukrainian passport?"
"Yes, yes."
After just a few simple inquiries, the airport customs allowed Liliana to pass through the customs, not caring that she had a Ukrainian passport.
When I saw this scene, I came to Budapest as a reporter to interview Wang Fuyuan and said curiously:
"Ukrainian passport? Can it also be used? Isn't Ukraine a republic of the Soviet Union? Why does it have its own passport?"
When he heard this question, Wu Yunxiang, who was the press officer of the representative office, knew the reason.
"She used a domestic passport from the Soviet Union, a passport from a member country. All the member republics have passports, which are roughly equivalent to our ID cards. Logically speaking, they cannot go to foreign countries through customs, but here it is. There is a loophole.”
When he mentioned this vulnerability, the corners of his mouth raised, and an unconcealable smile appeared on his face.
"What vulnerability?"
"Actually, this is all mine laid by a loving father."
Wu Yunxiang then explained:
"When the United Nations was created, my loving father wanted to count the 16 union republics as the founding countries of the United Nations in order to increase their voice in the future of the United Nations. Although this goal was not achieved in the end, Roosevelt still agreed to 2 union republics conditions. As a result, Ukraine and Belarus also obtained the status of founding countries of the United Nations.”
There is such an operation, Wang Fuyuan was surprised and said:
"In other words, theoretically speaking, Ukraine and Belarus are independent countries?"
When he asked this question, even he knew that it was just an assumption.
"The theory is this. The question is how you operate it. Theoretically, Soviet citizens holding Ukrainian or Belarusian or Russian domestic passports can apply for our visas in Budapest and travel to us. Of course, only we can Issue them visas, and only here will allow them to leave the country with this kind of passport.”
What is shooting yourself in the foot?
When his loving father pushed Ukraine and Belarus to the United Nations to become founding members of the United Nations, he probably never imagined that one day other countries would use this loophole to tap talents from the Soviet Union.
If you were conscious, you would definitely feel the pain from being hit on your feet.
Looking at Wu Yunxiang, Wang Fuyuan immediately understood. He nodded and said:
"I understand. In fact, this is not a loophole. It is just us and Hungary taking advantage of this loophole. Through this loophole, we can attract some talents from the Soviet Union, right?"
Wu Yunxiang did not answer this, because he was an official, and of course he could not agree with this view. They only acted in accordance with the "United Nations Charter". If the Soviets wanted to object, they should first amend the Charter.
Of course, all they need before that is to abide by the charter.
Liliana certainly didn't know that her passport would arouse the interest of others. At this time, she only knew that she would soon be able to travel to another world.
There's the beach, there's the sun, there's everything...
