Chapter 1552 The talent pool behind the Iron Curtain (first update, please subscribe)
Nearly ten hours later, the Tu-114 aircraft that took off from New Delhi landed at Moscow Airport.
After the plane landed, the man got off the plane and went through customs inspection like everyone else. The only difference from ordinary people was that as soon as he got out of customs, he got into a car that had been waiting for a long time.
In the past dozen hours, Lubyanka has been paying attention to the situation of the "delivery man" to ensure that he can reach Moscow safely.
A few hours later, the man's suitcase turned up in Zelenograd.
Zelenograd means "Green City" in Russian. The city was designed as a scientific mecca, with research institutes and large factories, as well as schools, nurseries, cinemas, libraries and hospitals for scientific researchers and their families. In the center is the Moscow Institute of Electronic Technology, even with the school The brick walls mimic those of American universities. Zelenograd can also be called - the Silicon Valley of the Soviet Union.
"These are all SEA's most advanced microprocessors!"
In electronic research, the researchers took out a microprocessor and started their research again. Whether to develop it independently or to imitate it was a question for Soviet researchers. The former was more difficult, and the latter was more difficult. easy.
In order to produce results faster, some people here are engaged in independent research and some are imitating, basically walking on two legs.
Although, due to the comprehensive embargo of sea a few years ago, in order to get rid of the bottleneck, the Soviet Union had to choose independent research and development.
But for the Soviet scientific community, which was accustomed to imitating integrated circuits, the road to independent research and development was difficult. Especially in the face of the supervision from various departments such as the military and aerospace.
They ultimately chose to copy. They use a microscope to dissect integrated circuits, take pictures, copy its design, and then produce them again. Although their yield rate has not been high due to technology constraints, they can at least meet the needs of the military and other departments.
In contrast, independent research and development is too difficult, and until now we have not really launched a product of our own.
Just as the scientists were studying SEA's microprocessor and preparing to copy it, in the computing center, Yuri Alexandrovich once again set his sights on the sky and earth outside the window.
"Well, you will be free soon..."
36-year-old Yuri was born in Petrograd. He lost his parents during the siege of Leningrad. When he was young, he happened to catch up with the siege of Leningrad. Both his parents starved to death and he was raised by his uncle. He studied at the Leningrad Naval Academy and was assigned to work in the Pacific Fleet as a navigator after graduation.
He got married and settled down in Vladivostok when he was 23 years old. His wife was not a fuel saver. After a quarrel, she told the organization that her husband made inappropriate remarks, and he was suspended for more than a year. Fortunately, it was the era of Khrushchev. After investigation, it was found that he was reinstated but not allowed to go to sea again. If he was not shot in the Iron Age, he would be thrown to Siberia.
But after all this trouble, Yuri had no hope of promotion in the army. After the divorce, he retired and returned to his hometown of Leningrad to resume his studies. Just two months ago, he was promoted to the director of the computing center and became an automation control expert. In his spare time, he likes Writing, joined the Petrograd Literary Society.
However, no one knew, but the more Yuri read, the stronger his thoughts became and he wanted to leave the Soviet Union.
"Patrushev!"
Again, Yuri muttered the name.
For the Soviets, Patrushev was a sinner. Two years ago, this 19-year-old young man did something that no one else had done - swim from the Black Sea to Türkiye!
That day he swam 35 kilometers to Türkiye!
Although the Soviet Union sentenced Patrushev to death for treason in his absence, and newspapers criticized him at length, for Yuri, Patrushev was not a bad example. .
"Maybe..."
For Yuri, who was born in the navy, he is very good at swimming, and he understands the hydrological conditions. He believes that he can do what Patrushev did, swim to Turkey.
But on the other hand, after Yuri came to the computing center, he learned another way to leave here.
"As long as you have a Ukrainian passport, you can leave the Soviet Union by plane from Hungary and go to SEA!"
Is this true?
Yuri didn't know it at first, but later he learned that someone really did this, and it was so magical.
But as a Soviet citizen, Yuri only has a Russian passport. What should he do?
This does not trouble Yuri. Just a few months ago, Yuri applied to work at the University of Kyiv. His reason was simple - to support the construction of Ukraine.
In order to deceive others, he even submitted an application to purchase a car after submitting this application, which meant that his tendency to flee was greatly reduced.
Moreover, Moscow has been encouraging Russians to work in other union republics, thereby increasing the proportion of local Russians. Those who are willing to leave Moscow to work in the union republics cannot of course be stopped.
"Yuri."
At this time someone came over and said to him:
"You are going to Kiev next week. Let's get together over the weekend to see you off!"
Facing his friend's farewell, Yuri smiled and said:
"Thank you, my friend!"
A week later, Yuri Alexandrovich finally got on the train to Kiev.
At this time, although it was March, it snowed again.
Yuri looked at the confused wind and snow outside the car window, feeling a little dazed.
High-speed trains run across the vast plains of Eastern Europe. Fields, coniferous forests, frozen lakes and villages passed by outside the train window. A few hours later, as the high-speed train was about to enter Ukraine, the police began to check the passports of the passengers.
"Citizens, please show your passport."
The domestic passport of the Soviet Union was equivalent to some kind of ID card. All citizens over the age of 16 were required to have a passport. Rural residents cannot leave their place of residence for more than thirty days, and even such holidays must obtain permission from the rural committee.
Because of this, when traveling to other places, the police will check their passports and ask them where they are going and how long they will stay. When it is Yurili's turn, Yuri just mentioned that he will go to Kiev University to work. The police immediately welcomed him.
In this way, Yuri entered Ukraine. After registering at Kyiv University, he immediately went to the local police station to go through the formalities and apply for a Ukrainian passport. This was not urgent, but a normal procedure. When he walked out of the police station again, Yuri's steps were relaxed and he was in a happy mood. The moment he walked down the steps, he even jumped slightly, and then whistled quite proudly. . And looked up at the sky and said:
"The sunshine is really nice today!"
……
The sun is shining!
When I walked out of the airport, I looked up at the sky. It was cloudless and the sun was shining brightly.
The traffic on the street is like a dream.
"Okay, from now on, this is our home!"
When Ufimochev made this sigh, he then said to his wife beside him:
"Anna, believe me, we will live better here."
"Yes, is it true?"
Anna looked around nervously, this was a completely unfamiliar place.
"Trust me."
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Ufimochev nodded vigorously, and then said:
"I will find a job soon, and then we will have our own big house, our own car, and..."
Looking down at his daughter and son beside him, he said:
"They will also live a good life."
As an engineer at the Moscow Institute of Radio Engineering, Ufimochev believed that his talents could be fully developed here.
This is also the reason why he left the Soviet Union and came to Chang'an from Hungary, because there his talents were buried, his achievements were swallowed up by others, and his discoveries were also not taken seriously.
Like all newcomers, the Ufimochev family lived in a turnover apartment arranged by the government. When Anna took the children to learn the language in the official language training class, Ufimochev had already arrived at a company. .
"Mr. Ufimochev, do you speak English?"
Faced with the interviewer's questions, Ufimochev quickly answered.
"Sorry, English is not a compulsory subject in the Soviet Union. However, I can speak German."
German was a compulsory course in the Soviet Union because most of their technology came from Germany.
"Well, okay, let's communicate in German."
The interviewer looked at Ufimochev's information. Judging from the information, he is a quite outstanding radio expert.
Talent companies have never been exclusive. In the past few years, there have been some experts from the other side of the Iron Curtain every year.
They come here with their families or alone through various channels. These people have used their talents in all walks of life since here.
Because of this, the company will never exclude talents as long as they meet the company's requirements.
So the interviewer started chatting in German with the radio expert from the other side. They talked about more than just technical matters.
"So, a very important reason why you left the Soviet Union is because your academic achievements were misappropriated, right?"
"Yes sir, this has become a theorem in the Soviet Union. We must attach the names of our superiors to our papers and findings and even make them the first authors.
Just like last year, my paper "Edge Wave Behavior in Physical Diffraction Theory" was published in "Transactions of the Moscow Institute of Radio Engineering",
I am the author of this paper, but there are several other authors in this paper.
In fact, they did not provide any help from the initial research to the final draft of this paper, but I had to write their names at the end because this is an unspoken rule in the Moscow scientific community.
If I didn't do that, I wouldn't even be able to get a foothold in the scientific community, where those oligarchs have a monopoly on everything. Including science. ”
Ufimochev continued.
"So I chose to leave there. I didn't want to become a stepping stone for the academic oligarchs, and I didn't want to join them one day and become the same person I once hated, so I had no choice but to leave."
Listening to Ufimochev's explanation, the interviewer suddenly said curiously.
"Mr. Ufimochev, you mean that "Edge Wave Behavior in Physical Diffraction Theory" is your paper, right?"
"Yes, sir, that is the result of my three years of research. In the paper, I mentioned..."
When Ufimochev explained some of the findings he mentioned in his paper, he did not notice the change in the face of the interviewer in front of him. From surprise at first to joy later, the joy was even uncontrollable. of.
At the end, the interviewer even said in a somewhat excited tone:
"Haha, Mr. Ufimochev really didn't expect it to be you. Well, you are welcome to join our company."
The interviewer said in a rather mysterious tone.
"And I'm sure you'll love your next job."
