Chapter 295 Judgment of the Soviet genius
As a member of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Soviet Union and Vice Chairman of the Council of Ministers, Mikoyan naturally knew the importance of Alfred Luke. He did not say any nonsense at the moment, took it from Morozov, and quickly opened it, but
After reading a few pages, Mikoyan suddenly stopped, stared at Morozov suspiciously and said: "The credibility of this..."
Mikoyan did not finish what he said, but the meaning of his words was self-evident. It was true that Alfred Luke had a great reputation, but I had never heard of him keeping a diary. As for the so-called Chinese students, it was even more unclear.
There is no evidence in the fog, but now a diary kept by Alfred Luke has been passed to the so-called Chinese student, and it has been left to the orphan named Bai Yi until now.
If it were a fascinating legendary novel, it might still attract people to read it. The problem is that such a bizarre story actually happened in the real world, so there is something fishy about it, and there are countless similar lies in history.
, there is no need to cite examples from other countries, just say that Tsarist Russia, the predecessor of the Soviet Union, had many similar diaries of celebrities and the last words of emperors.
He looks like that, and even has the passionate and surging character of his former master. However, upon closer inspection, it turns out that everything is forged by others or fabricated by later generations, and there is no credibility at all.
The Soviet government's search for Alfred Luke has not stopped to this day. After so many years, not even a single valuable clue has been found, but now the diary with Alfred Luke's name has suddenly appeared.
In their hands, they said there was nothing weird about it, and even the madmen in the mental hospital probably wouldn't believe it.
Morozov was naturally aware of Mikoyan's doubts. To be honest, when he took the diary from Bai Yi, Morozov probably felt like Mikoyan that the diary was a forgery. However,
After he read part of the contents, Molotov firmly believed that without decades of technical accumulation and superb practical experience, this diary with extremely high technical value would not have been forged.
But there are only a few people with these two qualities in the world, and all of them are famous masters. If they have any new ideas, they can write books and explain them openly.
There is no need to engage in such shady means. Because of this, Morozov dares to conclude that this diary must be dealt with by Alfred Luke!
With this judgment in mind, and then looking at Mikoyan's scrutinizing eyes, Morozov did not panic at all. Instead, he firmly shook his head and said sincerely: "Comrade Vice Chairman, I think this diary is true!"
"Oh?" Mikoyan was a little surprised, but soon asked with a normal expression: "What's the reason?"
"Look here!"
Since Morozov dared to believe in his idea, he was naturally prepared, so he picked up the diary and turned to the page he had browsed before. Although he only flipped through it in front of Bo Yi at that time, Morozov had an amazing memory.
My husband still remembered the general content of it, so after glancing at the content of the page, he pointed to the text and said: "Yes, that's this paragraph!"
Mikoyan was also proficient in German, so he followed the text specified by Morozov, but he was still confused because the language inside was obscure and difficult to understand, and it was also mixed with many technical terms, which made it very interesting to read.
Feeling of drowsiness.
Morozov was naturally aware of the poor reading experience of this diary. Without waiting for Mikoyan to ask questions, he explained: "This is the text recorded by Alfred Luke in February 1944, when Germany's
The development plan of the Maus heavy tank is nearing completion.
As the overall project leader of this tank, Luke noticed as early as the beginning of the research and development that there was an difficult balance between traditional steel homogeneous armor and weak power, so he began to consider exploring the so-called efficient lightweight here.
Armor! Look at this page again..."
As he spoke, Morozov turned back dozens of pages, and finally settled on a page with a simple sketch. He clicked with his finger and continued: "Look here again. In September 1944, Luke ordered Na
!Pure military industry experts have begun to test lightweight hard materials including ceramics. No matter the breadth or depth, it is by no means comparable to what we are now.
As for the results, the bottlenecks we are currently encountering in the ceramic armoring project are almost exactly the same, and they all have huge flaws, so they concluded that composite ceramics are not suitable for use as armor at all!"
Speaking of this, Morozov looked a little sad. The effort he put into the composite ceramic armoring project was beyond the imagination of ordinary people, but the actual results made him fail time and time again. Now he sees that
One can imagine Morozov's mood when hearing the top-secret conclusion of Alfred Luke, the leader of Nazi Germany's military-industrial system. He was as disappointed as if his wife had cheated on him.
disappointment.
But this kind of disappointment only stayed on Morozov's face for a moment, and was replaced by a touch of inexplicable excitement, because compared with the cheating wife and the little lover Alfred Luke gave him, that
It’s really a world between heaven and earth.
So Morozov simply abandoned the thankless project of ceramic armoring and instead fully absorbed the nutrients from Alfred Luke's thoughts. Then he turned to the last few pages of his diary and pointed excitedly.
The content continued: "Our research has fallen into a bottleneck, but Alfred Luke has jumped out of the shackles. You can see this diary written on January 10, 1945, which shows that the composite ceramic armor program has been completely abandoned.
.
Instead, a more efficient and cheaper method is used to construct a true composite armor, which is to use armor steel and fire-resistant rubber layers of different hardnesses to form a sandwich-type armor composite plate one-to-one. In this way, with the help of
The layer-by-layer blocking of armored steel and fire-resistant rubber and the strong change in density can not only effectively resist the attack of armor-piercing projectiles, but also have a strong defensive effect against armor-piercing projectiles.
According to the relevant test data of the Germans, a 180mm thick composite armor plate composed of three armor steel plates of different thicknesses and two layers of high-performance fire-resistant rubber has the protective power of 350~550mm steel homogeneous armor. I am now
I feel very fortunate that Germany was completely defeated by us in May 1945. Otherwise, the war would have continued, but now all this has passed.
Of course, then again, such a well-organized and highly operable technical diary cannot be forged at all, not even God himself can complete it, because it requires extremely complex experiments and inspections. As for getting accurate results,
The conclusion is even more difficult. Because of this, I don’t believe this diary is fake, but...it depends on the attitude of Chinese comrades next!"
Mikoyan still trusted Morozov's professional ability, and of course he knew the deeper meaning of Morozov's words. Bai Yi handed the diary to them, but no one knew whether they had copies in their hands.
, so Mikoyan turned over the diary in his hand, pondered for a moment, then raised his head and said seriously: "I hope they are informed and aware, so that everything can be handled easily! Otherwise... with Stalin's temper, no one can save them!"
