Back to the Republic of China to be a editor

In the moonless midnight, the sea and the land are dark.A secret base somewhere in the Crimea peninsula. With the help of heavy trailers, several objects that looked like small aircraft were dragged out of the cavern, and then placed on five launch rails near the cavern using cumbersome procedures. .

If you take a closer look, these objects look like a reduced version of the MiG-15 fighter jet, but the tail and flat tail have been cut off, and the swept main wing is also much shorter.Of course, there is no cockpit, the nose is round, and the lower jaw is a large air intake.

This is the "Project 590" of the Ruby Design Bureau - the land self-guided test launch of the Soviet Union's first anti-ship missile.

After everything was properly arranged, the launch site shone brightly, and the booster quickly pushed the first self-guided test bomb of Project 590 off the launch rail.The missile flew obliquely upwards, and after reaching a height of 500 meters, it was also ignited by the jet engine transplanted from the MiG-15.The second, third...five missiles were launched one by one, drawing long glowing trails in the night sky.

In the middle of the Black Sea, a scrapped cargo ship found by the Soviet Navy dropped anchor quietly.In order to increase the probability of test success, the team involved in the test ignited two incendiary barrels filled with heavy oil before evacuating the cargo ship, so that the seeker of the 590 project missile could more easily capture the target.

After flying for 300 kilometers at an altitude of 90 meters, the first missile of the 590 project appeared on the horizon.The missile made its first directional adjustment, then... nothing.It fell 700 meters in front of the bow of the cargo ship in the attitude of a direct rocket.

The second missile continuously adjusted its course and lowered its height, and precisely hit the middle of the cargo ship.The test bomb did not contain explosives, but more than 1 ton of iron bumps and a speed of 800 kilometers per hour still made a large hole in the cargo ship. Larger flames ignited on the deck.

The third bomb hit the middle of the cargo ship again.

The fourth one flew off.

The fifth missile completed the normal course adjustment and lowered its altitude. At the moment of final impact, the missile did not continue to lower its flight altitude according to the procedure. The missile passed tens of meters above the cargo ship's head and fell more than 100 meters away from the port side of the cargo ship.

"Five test bombs, two hit directly, one...nearly missed, and two missed." Although the Diamond Design Bureau had sent the technical specifications of the test bombs to the test site before, the test results still made the Soviet Navy The person in charge of the test site was very surprised.

Kyiv.

"MESM still has some finishing work, I will stay in Kiev until July 7th." Tang Hua smiled and lightly punched Xiaoliuzi on the shoulder, "For more than a week, I will give you two a vacation. Play by yourself. Kiev, Odessa, Poltava, Lvov, pick whatever you want. Comrade translator, please be a tour guide and take them around."

After seeing off the three of them, Tang Hua and Zhou Xuan strolled and chatted in the monastery.

"I am an academician of the Academy of Sciences, so I really have a villa in Moscow." Tang Hua said, "It's a pity that I can't live there for a few days a year. Kiev is the city where I have stayed a lot in recent years, but the place I live is also very casual. , in this apartment up front."

Tang Hua pulled the luggage, and the two went upstairs and opened the room.

"Simply enough, isn't it? Basically, there is only a bed. Actually, according to my habit, there are a lot of books and materials piled up in my residence, but the Ministry of National Security reminded me that most of the research I do is secret, and the materials cannot be taken away casually. It can only be placed in the research center. In fact, next door to this apartment is the duty station of the Ministry of National Security." Tang Hua lowered his voice and said to Zhou Xuan in Cantonese.

Chapter 10, 21 sensitive words

Moscow, May 1949.

The students sent by our party to study in the Soviet Union in 1948, after a year of Russian language tuition in Ivanovo, successfully completed their studies in July 1 and returned to Moscow.In September of this year, these 1949 international students will be assigned to different universities in the Soviet Union to start formal studies.

"Everyone," Wang Ruofei raised his hands and pressed down to stop the applause of the students. "After a year, you have successfully mastered the Russian language, familiarized yourself with and got used to life in the Soviet Union, and you also took advantage of this period of learning Russian to study a lot of homework, and all of you have reached the level of knowledge for graduating from secondary education in the Soviet Union. Li Before your trip, the deputy secretary made three requirements for you. First, you must study hard and complete your studies satisfactorily; second, you must choose your major according to the needs of the construction of the motherland; You are not allowed to fall in love while studying. It seems that in the past year, you have strictly fulfilled the three points emphasized by Deputy Secretary Li. I am very happy to see your achievements."

Wang Ruofei set off for the Soviet Union in June this year.This old revolutionary who returned to Yan'an on the same plane as Commander Ye worked in North China and Northwest Liberated Areas during the civil war. affairs.

At the beginning of 1948, the central government decided to transfer a group of young cadres with outstanding ability and political reliability to study in the Soviet Union to receive higher education and train them as technical experts to build China in the future.The first batch of students sent to the Soviet Union consisted of 21 students, 13 of whom were orphans of martyrs, and the others were children of cadres.Candidates for studying abroad are selected by the Northeast Bureau, and they also go to the Soviet Union from the Northeast.This group of international students—well, their parents are all sensitive words, and more than half of them are also sensitive words...

"Soon, you will have to choose your colleges and majors. Before coming to the Soviet Union, the Chairman and the leading comrades of the Central Committee asked me to bring some words to the Soviet Union. These words are for your future choices and study life. The first is Secretary Ren, who said: 'I don't advocate that China send overseas students to the Soviet Union to study politics. Because in the past, Chinese people who went to the Soviet Union to study politics often made dogmatic mistakes.'" Wang Ruofei said.

Seeing the thoughtful expressions of the students, Wang Ruofei went on to say: "The second sentence Secretary Ren said was: 'I don't agree with the Chinese students sent to the Soviet Union to study liberal arts. The Chinese students sent to the Soviet Union should study engineering. Study industry. As for which one to study, you can choose according to your personal interests and expertise.'”

In fact, the personal wishes of international students were mostly science and engineering. After hearing Wang Ruofei's words, the students also opened up the chatterbox.

"I want to learn electricity."

"My wish is to study aviation."

"I'm thinking of the School of Mechanical Engineering."

"I want to study geology."

“I want to continue my studies in the Soviet Union after finishing university and get a doctorate or doctorate degree,” said a student, “to engage in cutting-edge scientific research.”

The student started a new topic, and the international students started a new round of discussion.

"Academician Tang Hua is our role model." "Chinese people can also become academicians of the Soviet Academy of Sciences, which makes us so proud..."

Wang Ruofei nodded as he listened to the students' discussion. "Academician Tang Hua is a top scientist in the Soviet Union and the world. This really makes all Chinese feel proud. Not only was he elected as an academician, he also won the Red Star Medal and the Lenin Medal in the Soviet Union, and he will soon get his second Lenin Medal. However, academician Tang Hua is about to return to China, and the new China is about to be established. He said that he will return to China as soon as possible to participate in socialist construction. Since Tang Hua is your role model, then you should also learn from him, no matter where you are Where, what kind of status or treatment has been obtained, they always put the motherland first..."

"... Head Wang, can we see Tang Hua before he returns to China?" The students were also very surprised when they heard the news that Tang Hua was going back to China.

"Yes, we have already made arrangements. Tang Hua will still be here to meet you and give a short speech."

……

When Wang Ruofei talked with 21 foreign students at night, Tang Hua was watching the stars in Kiev.

"The apartment is quite old. I'm single, so the house I get is not particularly big. Fortunately, there is a small attic upstairs directly opposite me, and no one usually goes up to it. This is my free space."

Tang Hua took Zhou Xuan's hand and walked up a flight of stairs to the small attic under the spire of the apartment.Opening the floor-to-ceiling windows of the attic, the brilliant Milky Way and starry sky floated in front of the two of them.

"We bid farewell to Shanghai for three years, and I'm afraid we will never be able to return to the past. Luxury houses and famous cars, and spending a lot of money have become history. Now I can only give you a small attic, a window facing north, and watch the stars together." Tang Hua laughed at himself, "Revolution...Xuan, you should understand a little bit, right?"

Zhou Xuan nodded. "I know, it is to divide the property of the capitalists and landlords."

"...Okay. I joined the revolution, and the revolution is about to win. Then I will hand over all my factories and companies to the country and the people. I will become an ordinary laborer."

"Like you, I also give money to the poor. I was also poor before. With you, I only need to have three meals a day."

Tang Hua turned his head and looked at Zhou Xuan who was sitting on the ground beside him with a frozen smile.

"Well, sometimes it's okay to eat some miscellaneous grains."

……

This night, the headquarters of the Rainbow Design Bureau in Dubna was also filled with jubilation.

A few days ago, the 590 project shooting range test was completed, and the test results were "very good", and it seems that it will be finalized soon.

Project 590 has a design range of 100 kilometers and a warhead of 600 kilograms of high explosive.Although the missiles are big and heavy, it is estimated that the large destroyer can only install 4 missiles and have to dismantle two main guns, but this thing is more than double the range of the main guns of the battleship!After seeing the report, Admiral Yumashev, the commander of the Soviet Navy, probably rubbed his hands in excitement in his office.What's more, the Rainbow Design Bureau also proposed an air-launched plan, and Comrade Zhigarev will rub his hands in excitement in the office later.

The Rainbow Design Bureau is now in the limelight. This afternoon, there is another news that the 590 project team of the Design Bureau will be awarded an honor.Tang Hua, the director of the design department, the designer of the guidance system, and the designer of the power system, each has a Lenin medal.

"Notify immediately... oh, notify Tang Hua tomorrow morning that we are going to Moscow."

At 8 o'clock the next morning, Tang Hua was woken up by the ringing of the telephone installed in the apartment.Gently removed Zhou Xuan's arm who was still asleep, got up and took two steps to take off the phone.

"What? Honors? It's Lenin again, I get it. Tomorrow, no, no, I can get out of here the day after tomorrow. I don't want to take the train, you find a plane."

Chapter 11, ahead of Batumi

The second Lenin Medal was hung on Tang Hua's body, with a large Lenin head on the left chest and a pentagonal pendant on the right chest.After the awards were issued, I asked the photographer to take a photo, and it still felt like that. Of course, the key is not that the medal is handsome, but that I have become handsome again...

The Order of Lenin was established on July 1926, 7 to reward those who have established outstanding achievements and made outstanding contributions to the country and society in the revolutionary movement, work practice, defense of the socialist country, promotion of friendship among peoples, and promotion of peace and equality. Contributing units and individuals can also be awarded to foreigners who are committed to strengthening the friendly and cooperative relations between the Soviet Union and other countries.A total of more than 8 Lenin medals have been awarded since the disintegration of the Soviet Union... However, if the premise is not to fight on the battlefield/dangerous front line, then this is almost one of the highest awards that ordinary people with non-military status can get.

Tang Hua returned to Moscow on July 7, hung up the medal, and with the help of the Moscow delegation, he met with 6 students studying in the Soviet Union.The schedule arranged made Tang Hua sweat coldly on his forehead, and he had to go again.I had to briefly talk about the meaning of industry, the continuous development of industrial technology and the mission of the country at the meeting, and the rest was perfunctory.

Back in Moscow, Tang Hua's routine and top priority was to check the telegram forwarded by Huarun via the Central Committee, and then call back.

Since the establishment of China Resources, Tang Hua has requested that funds should be measured in U.S. dollars as much as possible after the integration. In the past two or three years of international financial changes, it has been much more convenient for China Resources to use U.S. dollars, and it has made a lot of money on a few occasions.
