The train driver in the courtyard

Chapter 812 Agents in Action

In front of the Star City Training Center, the atmosphere was tense, as if the air was on fire.

The corner of Andrei Dragon King's mouth curled up fiercely, his eyes were as cold as ice, and his hands held the pistol steadily, with the black muzzle pointing directly at Semenov.

Semenov was equally unyielding, with his feet firmly planted on the ground and the pistol in his hand aimed accurately at Andrei.

There was a strong smell of gunpowder between the two people, and a conflict that was about to break out seemed to be on the verge of breaking out.

At this critical moment, a black car came speeding from a distance and slowly stopped in front of everyone.

The car door opened, and a middle-aged man in a Russian air force uniform struggled to get out of the car.

His belly was bulging, and every step he took seemed a little difficult. His uniform was stretched so tight that it seemed like it would burst at any time.

"General Yaroslav? How come you are here in person?" When Semenov saw the person coming, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he stood at attention with a hint of awe in his voice.

"Uncle Yaroslav, will you be personally responsible for the award ceremony today?" Andrei was overjoyed.

General Yaroslav seemed to turn a blind eye to the tense situation on both sides.

He walked straight to Andre, stretched out his broad palm, and patted Andre's shoulders heavily several times, with such force that it seemed as if he wanted to transfer strength to Andre.

Then, he turned his gaze to Li Aiguo, pointed at him and asked, "Is this the Oriental who invented diapers?"

"That's right, uncle. I also opened a trading company with driver Li. If you need anything in the future, just buy it directly through our trading company. We guarantee to provide you with the best service."

Andre introduced enthusiastically with a smile on his face.

"Little Andrei, you are still as smart and cunning as before, hahaha..." General Yaroslav laughed with his head raised, and his hearty laughter echoed in the air.

However, his laughter stopped abruptly, his face darkened instantly, and he turned to look at Semenov: "These two are my distinguished guests. What, are you going to stop them, Unit 26266?"

"General, I dare not do that, but according to regulations we need to get notification from the Ministry of Internal Affairs." Semenov lowered his head slightly, his voice small but firm, with beads of sweat oozing from his forehead.

"Ministry of Internal Affairs? Do you want to be Beria?" General Yaroslav's voice suddenly rose, with unquestionable deterrence.

When he heard the name Beria, Semenov clenched his fists so tightly that his nails scratched his palms.

He took a deep breath and moved aside.

******
"Dear guests, this is the centrifuge. Trainees need to experience its rotation to personally experience the gravity that the spacecraft will experience when it is launched."

Inside the training center.

A female comrade in a white researcher's uniform pointed at a huge machine with a dignified manner and explained it patiently to Li Aiguo and Andre.

Li Aiguo uttered exclamations at the right time, which were filled with just the right amount of admiration and curiosity, and instantly greatly satisfied the vanity of the female staff member.

Li Aiguo asked sincerely: "This is simply the most mysterious equipment in the world! Can you give us a detailed introduction to the specific parameters of the centrifuge?"

"I'm really sorry, the specific parameters are confidential and I can't disclose them."

The female comrade tilted her head slightly and quickly glanced at Semenov who was standing not far away.

Then he moved closer to the two of them and added in a low voice: "But I can tell you in secret that this machine can provide up to eight times the gravity of the earth."

At this time, because of the distance, Semenov could only see the female comrade's lips slightly opening and closing, but he could not hear what she was saying.

He subconsciously wanted to get closer.

As soon as he took a step, he was met with Andre's sharp gaze and was glared at fiercely.

Helplessly, Semenov could only stop and sigh in his heart.

He always felt that there were many suspicious points about this Oriental man.

Moreover, according to the regulations of Star City, the confidential equipment of the base is absolutely forbidden to be displayed to guests, not to mention that the other party is a foreigner.

However, Master Lu of the Russians once said: Rules are meant to be broken.

The general's personal appearance this time really put Semenov in an extremely embarrassing situation.

Since Beria's death, the Cheka organization seemed to have lost its backbone, like a child without a father, except that this child still held a terrifying pistol in his hand.

Both the high-ranking members of the Presidium and the important figures in the command center were wary of and even disgusted with the Cheka.

It would be a very unwise thing to offend a powerful general because of this.

Even so, Semenov still held his bottom line and reached an agreement with Andrei: the two men were allowed to visit the base, but they had to be accompanied by him throughout the visit.

"If I find anything wrong with this Oriental..."

Suffering this "humiliation", Semenov's eyes flashed with a sharp light and he secretly swore in his heart.

Li Aiguo seemed to be completely unaware that he had been targeted by Semenov.

Like a purely curious visitor, he walked around the centrifuge with great interest.

"This thing is really advanced. It would be great if I could experience it myself..."

He murmured to himself, his words full of longing.

"I'm really sorry, the centrifuge currently uses integral-differential control technology. Before each start, the centrifuge's proportional unit P, integral unit I and differential unit D need to be readjusted..."

The lesbian seemed to be showing off her knowledge, reciting a long list of profound professional knowledge.

After she finished, she pretended to be in a daze, covered her lips and said, "Oh, I'm so sorry, comrade, I forgot that you might not understand this. I'm really sorry."

Li Aiguo concentrated on memorizing these technical points firmly in his mind and repeated them silently twice to ensure that he remembered them correctly.

He smiled and responded: "It is indeed a little difficult to understand, but it sounds very interesting. Comrade, may I know your name?
It has to be said that human aesthetic concepts are largely the same.

A handsome guy like Li Aiguo can easily attract the favor of girls no matter which country he is in.

What's more, the fact that he was able to visit this secret base is enough to show that he is an extraordinary person.

The lesbian's cheeks instantly flushed slightly, and she said shyly: "My name is Zoya Kosmodemyanskaya."

"Hello, Comrade Zoya, I am Li Aiguo, a proletarian comrade who shares the same ideals as you." Li Aiguo extended his hand to Zoya enthusiastically.

Since graduating from Moscow University, Zoya has been rooted in the Star City.

The atmosphere here is relatively conservative, and everyone, regardless of gender, is highly focused on astronaut training.

Therefore, it was the first time in her life that she had such close contact with the opposite sex.

After hesitating for a moment, Zoya slowly stretched out her hand and gently shook hands with Li Aiguo.

In an instant, the warmth transmitted by the palm quickly spread throughout the body, and the distance between the two people seemed to be invisibly shortened at this moment.

Zoya's interest grew, and she went on to explain some technical details about the centrifuge.

Li Aiguo showed an expression of surprise at just the right moment from time to time.

This made Zoya very excited, and her whole body trembled with excitement like a blooming flower.

Andre watched all of this from the side, and suddenly he realized: "No wonder the patriotic brother is not interested in those strippers, it turns out that he is interested in high-level intellectuals. Well, his taste is indeed unique."

In Andrei's eyes, although Zoya had a pretty face and a graceful figure and could be considered a beautiful girl in Moscow, she always seemed to lack some charm.

As a woman, she should be coquettish to be interesting.

As time went by, the communication between Li Aiguo and Zoya became more and more in-depth, and they were about to touch the core of the centrifuge.

"Ahem, Zoya, please pay attention to the confidentiality regulations."

Semenov had to step forward and warn him.

Zoya frowned when she heard this, and said with a hint of dissatisfaction: "Comrade, I know the confidentiality rules better than you do. If I really leaked the secrets just now, you could just arrest me and put me in your dungeon."

"You..." Semenov was choked and speechless. He wanted to get angry but didn't know how to do it.

After all, he himself was really confused by the professional content that Zoya explained, let alone judging whether there was a leak.

However, he changed his mind and decided that this was a good thing, as the young man from the East would definitely not understand.

"The old Russian centrifuge uses integral-differential control technology, which is mainly suitable for systems with basic linearity and dynamic characteristics that do not change with time, as can be seen from the appearance of the centrifuge.

Control loop correction involves three designs: eliminating errors, averaging past errors, and predicting future errors by looking at changes in errors.

The dim table lamp emits a soft and quiet glow, illuminating the small room with a warm and mysterious atmosphere.

Li Aiguo sat at the table, holding a dip pen, slowly reaching into a bottle filled with light yellow liquid. After dipping an appropriate amount, he wrote in neat and rigorous handwriting on a piece of white paper.

This light yellow liquid is the latest invisible ink formulated by the weather station and is extremely magical.

The written words will quickly disappear on the white paper after they dry, as if they had never appeared.

If you want to make these words appear again, you need to apply a special developer.

Although different fields often bring different worlds, Li Aiguo really found it difficult to fully comprehend the profound technical knowledge that Zoya talked about.

However, he was well aware of the precious value of this information, so he chose to record it in detail, intending to send it back to China in the future for in-depth analysis and research by domestic experts.

"The underwater operation pool simulating weightlessness has a diameter of about 30 meters. During training, astronauts need to sink to a depth of about 9 meters underwater."

As the night deepens, everything becomes silent, with only the rustling sound of the pen tip rubbing against the paper echoing softly.

Li Aiguo wrote with great concentration. He filled two pages before he stopped writing and rubbed his wrist which was sore from writing for so long.

Then he placed the two pieces of paper containing important information above a desk lamp and used the weak heat to dry them, ensuring that the writing disappeared completely.

But this was far from enough. In order to ensure the security of information transmission, he carefully wrote a purchase list on the front of the paper, and then carefully put it into an envelope marked with the Andre Trading Company logo.

At this point, the preparations were considered to be initially completed. The next morning, Andre knocked on the door on time and invited Li Aiguo to have breakfast together.

"Aiguo, are we still going to Star City today?"

"Yeah. I think it's quite interesting there." Li Aiguo smiled while chewing on a black bread and drinking a sip of hot milk.

Hearing this, Andrei couldn't help but burst into laughter: "I think that Zoya girl is particularly interesting, right?"

"Well, Comrade Zoya is indeed a very competent guide." Li Aiguo did not respond directly to Andre's teasing, but just smiled faintly.

The Russians pay attention to filling their stomachs when they have breakfast. Li Aiguo ate a few bites quickly and wiped the corners of his mouth with a napkin.

"Didn't you say yesterday that you wanted to buy a batch of Red Star umbrellas? I wrote a purchase order and I plan to buy 2,000 this time. Can you mail it back to me?"

When Li Aiguo saw Andre putting on the coat covered with medals, he seemed to suddenly remember something. He quickly took out the envelope that he had prepared long ago from his pocket and handed it to Andre.

"Oh, this is great!" Andre took the envelope and an ecstatic expression instantly appeared on his face.

The luxury sales strategy adopted by Red Star Umbrella has achieved great success in the market.

Each umbrella has a unique serial number, iconic star, and beautiful appearance, which makes the Red Star umbrella the most unique umbrella in the world.

To people of Andre's status, the Red Star Umbrella is no longer an umbrella, but a symbol of status.

However, because Red Star Umbrella has always adopted a purchase restriction strategy, its production is extremely limited, and the number of umbrellas that can be exported abroad is even smaller.

In the Eastern European market, the price of a Red Star umbrella has been driven up to a high price of two thousand rubles, making it a "luxury product" in the umbrella industry.

It is no exaggeration to say that each Red Star umbrella is equivalent to a thick stack of rubles, and its value is self-evident.

"Dear patriotic brother, you are truly my best brother!"

Andre opened his arms excitedly and hugged Li Aiguo fiercely, then released his arms, looked Li Aiguo up and down, and said with emotion: "Brother Aiguo, why do I feel like we are just real brothers!"

"Class comrades are as close as brothers." Li Aiguo was a little amused by Andre's sudden enthusiasm, but he still reminded him to send the letter as soon as possible so that the umbrella factory could arrange production as soon as possible.

"Okay, okay, no problem." Andre agreed, and then handed the letter to the butler who was waiting on the side, and solemnly instructed: "Send this letter immediately through the foreign affairs parcel.

If someone from the Foreign Affairs Department asks you about it, just say it’s an official document from the Ministry of Aviation Industry.”

Li Aiguo looked at the thin envelope, and the corners of his mouth twitched unconsciously.

He thought to himself that these people were too lazy to even put on a show and were using diplomatic channels to deliver letters so blatantly.

However, the butler was already accustomed to this. He put the envelope into his briefcase with an expressionless face and left the room in a hurry.

The envelope traveled along with the foreign affairs parcel and was finally delivered to an office.

A nameplate with the words "Quality Inspection Department" is prominently hung on the office door.

A Cheka worker picked up the envelope and flipped through it casually, then picked up the envelope and looked at it carefully in the light bulb.

"Lisa, there is a letter inside. Should we open it and investigate?" Cheka placed the envelope in front of the team leader.

The Cheka known as Lisa was not Chinese and his name had nothing to do with "Li".

In Russian, "Lisa" means fox. To have such a nickname is enough to prove his special status in the quality inspection department and his shrewdness and cunningness in dealing with people.

Lisa reached out to take the envelope, stroking it gently. With his rich experience, he accurately determined that there were two pieces of paper inside.

According to regulations, he should open the envelope, carefully check the contents of the letter, and then reseal it after confirming that it is correct.

Of course, even if the envelope is not sealed properly, the person who receives the letter will not complain, because the quality inspection department never accepts any form of complaints.

However, the words "Andre Trading Company" and the special logo on the envelope made Lisa hesitate for a moment.

There is a booklet inside the Cheka that records some names, and Andrei is among them.

However, this hesitation only lasted for a fleeting moment. Lisa regained her usual calmness, handed the letter back to her colleague expressionlessly, and said, "No problem, send it to the plane."

"No problem?" The young Cheka was obviously stunned.

His face was full of confusion. He could not understand why the old man, who was always cautious and cunning as a fox, would let go of this letter that was very likely to contain confidential information so easily.

Is this still the "fox" Lisa that he knows?

But Lisa was the head of the quality inspection team after all. Even though the young Cheka was full of doubts, he had no choice but to put the letter into a box specially used to store mail to be sent.

After all, this young man still failed to fully understand the true meaning of the nickname "Fox".

The Quality Inspection Department is an extremely special and demanding unit. Once a quality inspector is negligent in his work and confidential information is leaked, he will inevitably be severely implicated.

But what is more important is that if you audit something that should not be audited, you will also be punished.

Take last year for example, little Ivan from the Quality Inspection Department was a good comrade who worked diligently and responsibly.

However, it was this seriousness that brought him unexpected trouble.

At that time, he found dozens of boxes of caviar in a diplomatic parcel. Thinking he had made a great contribution, Ivan seized the parcel without hesitation and submitted a report to his superiors.

The result is predictable. That afternoon, people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs showed up at the Quality Inspection Department. They took little Ivan away on the pretext of investigating caviar.

Since then, Lisa never saw little Ivan again.

"Some things can be checked, and some things cannot be checked. A true fox must be able to make wise choices."

Lisa ignored the young Cheka's surprised look, took out a cigar from the opened parcel, lit it, and took a deep puff.

The smoke obscured his cunning eyes.

Two hours later, a box with a special mark was safely transported into the cabin of a passenger plane.

Ten hours later, the passenger plane slowly landed at the destination airport.

The maintenance staff acted quickly, took the box out of the cabin, and immediately delivered it to the airmail department of the Beijing Post Office.

In the busy sorting area of ​​the post office, a pair of calloused hands accurately picked out letters from the box.

The staff carefully examined the special secret mark on the letter, and after confirming that it was correct, they carefully put the letter into a canvas bag.

The darkness inside the canvas bag made the letter feel a little uncomfortable.

Then, as the staff moved around, the letter felt a continuous bumpy ride.

When it saw the light of day again, it was already in a uniquely decorated office.

This office is not very spacious and has five desks.

On four of the tables, there were piles of letters piled high, like small hills.

Another table was placed alone at the front, where a middle-aged man in a gray uniform was sitting with a focused and serious expression.

The letters were placed on one of the tables, and the letter opener was a conservative lesbian in her fifties.

At this moment, her eyes were sharp and she caught the special mark on the letter at a glance.

She adjusted the frame of her glasses slightly, and a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes behind the lenses.

The old-fashioned female comrade raised her hand to signal, and walked quickly to the middle-aged man with the letter: "Director, this is a secret letter sent by the driver from Moscow. This time it uses a new channel."

"Driver Li has only been in Moscow for a few days, and he has already obtained the information?" Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man frowned slightly, his eyes full of surprise.

He quickly reached out to take the letter, then picked up the developer beside him and carefully applied it to the letter.

Words appeared one after another.

"The working principle of centrifuge used for space training"

The middle-aged man whispered and couldn't help but take a breath.

Although he was experienced in the intelligence field, the professional content in front of him was too advanced and complex, and even he found it difficult to understand for a while.

"Write it down immediately!"

The old-fashioned female comrade's hands were very fast and she copied the contents down in the blink of an eye.

After the transcription was completed, the letter was sealed in a file bag, and perhaps it would never have the chance to see the light of day again.

The middle-aged man walked quickly to the door with the copied materials in his hand and knocked on the farmer's office door.

After a while, the office door slowly opened, the middle-aged man walked into the room and whispered a few words to the farmer.

Then, a call came from the Beijing Meteorological Bureau.

Half an hour later, the Fifth Academy of National Defense welcomed a mysterious stranger.

In the laboratory of the Fifth Academy of National Defense, researcher Xu Lanru and aviation expert Professor Chen felt a little uneasy when they heard that they were being asked to meet a mysterious guest.

In particular, Xu Lanruo was recognized by Mr. Qian for his outstanding performance in the development of the Dongfeng missile. Now he has become a key researcher and is very busy every day.

They secretly speculated about the identity of this mysterious guest and what kind of person could be able to call them out of their intense experimental work.

"From now on, everything you hear and see is top secret!"

"I understand." The Fifth Academy of National Defense is a confidential unit. Xu Lanruo and Professor Chen both nodded.

Xu Lanruo asked: "Comrade, who are you?"

The strange guest did not intend to introduce himself and just handed over the materials.

"Here is a technical document, but it is not complete. Please take a look at it first."
