Chapter 814: The Russians who sneak through the cracks, the Gauls who crash into the car

At this time, in the distant sea, in a small gunboat, the captain was extremely happy.

"Comrades, hurry up, the air force comrades have already stopped the enemy on the sea, and they are waiting for us to capture them."

To be honest, he has never encountered such a thing after working in the navy for so many years. Even though he had been on the front line of the struggle on the south coast and had been transferred here not long ago, he had never heard of it.

Late at night, the ships on the sea are being closely watched by planes in the sky, so you can just go over and pick up any that are ready.

This battle is becoming more and more interesting.

An hour later, a gunboat arrived first. It took some time to escort five enemies who were shivering with cold and chattering from the rubber boat onto its own boat. It then tied the rubber boat to the stern of its own boat and, together with another boat that had just arrived, headed for the nearest naval base.

After confirming with the gunboat that everything was going well, the Tu-4 turned around and flew towards its own airport.

In the capital, the leader soon received reports from his comrades about this matter.

"It seems that the enemy is very restless and always wants to cause trouble. Even when we do a good thing, they want to ruin it." A leader looked at the enemy's confession and started to tease the enemy harshly.

"They wanted to come in at night, but we didn't expect that our tradition of night combat would be further developed with the help of technology. In night combat, we even fought on the sea and in the air." A troop leader laughed.

"That's right. New technologies must be developed, but old traditions cannot be abandoned. We must arm our old traditions with new technologies. This is the correct view of science and technology. It is wrong to abandon old traditions just because we have new technologies. It is always people, not things, who determine victory in war." The chief was very happy. He took such minor issues as those that wanted to cause trouble seriously, but he did not care. What he cared about was that our scientific and technological development was on the right track.

"You are right. There used to be a saying that we don't have steel but we have will. Now, we are moving towards having both steel and will." The leader of the army also echoed.

"Well, although their little tricks are not acceptable, you still have to be vigilant. We can't let our good intentions turn into bad ones, which would be bad."

"Don't worry, Chief. In addition to tightening the external situation, we have also strengthened the relevant work internally to ensure the safe convening of this international conference."

"Okay, that's good. Now I feel relieved." The leader clapped his hands and laughed.

These "little episodes" did not affect our main work. Except for a few people, other comrades were not aware that so many things were happening around this matter.

Finally the appointed time arrived. On that day the Beijing Steel Plant was crowded with people and heavily guarded. To be honest, we did not have much experience with similar meetings, so the overall policy was to prioritize safety. Apart from anything else, if a spy really came in and threw a grenade, that would be a big deal.

Those who came in from outside have been wiped out, but whether there are any hidden nails inside that are about to show up is something that the comrades in charge of security need to pay attention to. After all, the comrades in charge of monitoring have found that the frequency of the recent broadcasts of "Please copy the following units" has increased a lot.

Several Russians followed the crowd into the Beijing Steel Plant, looking around curiously.

They were not curious about the equipment and technology of the Beijing Steel Plant, but because of something else.

"Dawali, this is not the place you really want to go, right?" An old Russian metallurgical expert looked at another old Russian next to him. The expression and temperament of this old Russian did not seem like a technical person.

"No, but I heard that there are a lot of connections between here and there. Since you can't get over there, you might as well come here first. You can freely carry out your job, my dear comrade. Your work here has been completed, and we will try not to affect your work. Maybe this time, they really have technology worth learning." This Russian guy, who doesn't look like a technician, is naturally from Lubyanka.

"I hope so. As far as we know, this plant produces many special steel grades including urea steel. Since this meeting is held here, perhaps I will gain a lot." The focus of the metallurgical experts is naturally different from that of the people in Lubyanka.

Walking into the venue, it was a huge workshop. As soon as he came in, the Russian metallurgical expert's attention was attracted by a somewhat special equipment in the workshop.

The device was covered up, but you could still see a lot of it.

"Is this a converter? But it seems a little different from a converter." Involuntarily, he walked towards the "converter".

He hadn't taken a few steps when he was stopped by someone.

The person who stopped him seemed to know his identity and country, and was very polite, but also very firm: "My dear Davari, you can't go through there."

That was the side-blown converter used for the AOD process. The AOD process only appeared in 68, so people in other countries naturally knew nothing about it at that time.

There were not many workshops in Beijing Steel Plant that were suitable for this meeting place, and the equipment in the workshops could not be moved, so they had to cover up what needed to be covered, and have people guard the places that could not be accessed.

It has to be said that this Russian metallurgical expert has a strong technical sense. Although this equipment is very similar to an ordinary converter, he can still tell at a glance that the side-blown converter is special.

The Russian expert was very regretful and returned to his side. The people in Lubyanka looked at his actions and asked, "Is the equipment over there important?"

"I don't know whether it is important or not, but I think it is very interesting. I have never seen this kind of equipment, and in the metallurgical industry, a new equipment often means a matching new process. But now it seems that this process may be very important, so we are not allowed to get close." The metallurgical expert sighed with a little regret.

The Lubyanka man picked up the briefcase in his hand and waved it in the direction of the AOD side-blown converter.

"You can let go of your regrets now. I don't know if I can help you, but at least I have tried my best," he said to the metallurgist.

In a small house on the side wall above the workshop, a comrade had a telescope in his eyes and said to another comrade beside him with a smile: "The old Russian Lubyanka has sent someone again. They are not honest at all."

"They have recently shown great interest in the Third Rolling Mill of the Third Rolling Mill. It should be said that they have found the right direction, but they cannot enter the Third Rolling Mill. Now perhaps they are taking this opportunity to try their luck at the Beijing Steel Mill. After all, the close relationship between the Beijing Steel Mill and the Third Rolling Mill is basically open to the public in the 17th Ministry of Machinery, and everyone knows about it."

"Do you want to deal with it?" asked the comrade next to the telescope.

"No, the comrades from the Seventeenth Machine Department said that they can't figure out the purpose and use of that thing based on its appearance alone. It involves a whole set of processes and there are many tricks. You just need to keep an eye on it."

"Okay, I'll keep a closer eye on him. We're comrades after all. It would be embarrassing to 'remind' him directly."

"You still care about this? It's rare that the sun rises from the west."

"The main thing is that the Russian is my classmate. I used to drink with him often. I have to be grateful to him for what he has given me. Haha." The comrade next to the telescope laughed.

At this time, several Russians were still communicating.

"To be honest, I don't think you can gain anything here. They must have hidden everything that shouldn't be seen here very well. You definitely can't show up in places where you shouldn't be."

"No, no, no, to be honest with you, my purpose this time is not those." In order to allow the metallurgical expert to cooperate better and remind themselves, the people in Lubyanka did not mind revealing a little of their true purpose.

"What is that? Is it technology?" This is a bit hurtful, but it is indeed the fact.

"No, it's people. Did you notice the theme of this meeting?"

"Gao's blast furnace operating line, a very difficult term to pronounce."

"Yes, that's it. According to their custom, this 'Gao' is probably the person we want to get close to and observe. Under normal circumstances, we basically have no chance of achieving this. Since this operation line is named after him, it means that he is likely the speaker of this meeting."

Their judgment was very accurate, Gao was Gao Zhendong.

As for Gao Zhendong, they usually couldn't even contact or observe him. They knew very well that although their southern colleagues seldom appeared around this person, their eyes were always on him and they never relaxed.

For Lubyanka, this matter was like "a good cook cannot cook without rice", and a tiger trying to eat the sky but not knowing where to start.

"You just want to observe him closely, and if possible, get in touch with him?" The metallurgical expert is no fool. No wonder this comrade who knows nothing about metallurgy tries every means to sneak in here.

"Yes, otherwise it will be difficult for us to carry out the next step of work."

"I understand. I hope you can get what you want."

Professor Li Wei from Gaul was also in the crowd. When he got the meeting agenda, he looked at the Gaulish agenda and couldn't help but admire the Orientals' thoughtfulness and carefulness. It was good that the agenda in his hand was not in English! This made him feel very happy.

But after thinking carefully about the main topic of the agenda, he soon stopped laughing.

"Gao's blast furnace operation line? My God, are they ahead?"

Thinking about a topic he and some colleagues were working on, he couldn't help but feel a little anxious, hoping that it wasn't that one, otherwise it would be a huge blow.

The good news is that there is no need to study it. The bad news is that others have already figured it out.
