![]() He talked directly to General Georgi Kukov, and told him to bring his Command Tank. While the others prepared another Anvil Tank and transported their device out of the lab and put it up 500 metres away from the tank, Rusakov called the High Command. I already know how to get the High Command right back here, too." His colleagues admired his bravery. One of us could wrap himself into one of the suits we use for chandelling the Cyclosarin and sit in there for the demonstration." Rusakov then made a step forward and said, "I will deal with that. "Because the tank was turned into an oven," he received in reply. "The device did make the spoon indestructible, didn't it? As long as the beam had contact to the metal, right? So why didn't we just let it stay activated?" He reminded his comrades of something quite obvious. Finally it was Vagner who saved the day, or rather week. As it was, they should just have immediately ceased working on the project. If the scientists wouldn't have been so worthy they would have definitely gone straight to the Gulag. The Anvil exploded in a bright ball of fire, which did not amuse the observers. Jacob promised them a wonder, and what they got were fireworks. In the evening a VIP bunker had been set up, the Anvil Tank put on the testing field, and a YaK Dive Bomber already circling overhead by the time the convoy carrying the members of the Soviet High Command arrived. They decided to fix that later, for first they had to show the important people what they created. Next morning with a straight hangover and some mild frostbite they deactivated the magnets and noticed that the tank had heated up to 250☌, which was a good temperature for an oven, but a bad one for a tank. While the tank glowed brightly in the dark Russian night the scientists fell into deep sleep. The first was to get even more vodka, second they had an Anvil Heavy Tank driven next to the wall of the lab, and third they made a hole into the said wall with the sledgehammer to radiate the tank. To celebrate they took several bottles, emptying them in short time, and made some very foolish decisions. In a cheerful mood he called his colleagues to look at his sudden success. Even in his dazed condition he realized he found a way to make metal indestructible (or at least close to that) albeit not in the way he thought. He ended up with the hammer pinned on the spoon, which consisted of aluminium and thus should not have been nearly as hard as it was. He returned to his lab and put himself up in front of the glowing corpus delicti, ready to slay it with 7 kilograms of antimagnetic steel. In sudden drunk anger he went to the tool room and to the surprise of the technician busy sorting out some nuts and bolts there, took a big sledge hammer with wooden handle to "show the damn spoon the might of the people's hammer". The glow spread on the pliers and he got his fingers burnt again. In result he tried it with a pair of raw iron pliers. Due to his drunkeness by now he threw away all safety protocols and tried to touch it with bare hands. The beam hit the spoon, making it glow in the same colour as the alloy. When Rusakov activated the big contraction magnets, the alloy-sample begun to glow a dark red and a thin beam of red light emerged through a weak point of the magnetic field. At the third test something interesting happened. So the frustrated scientist took the biggest vodka bottle he could find and went on testing. They still had an endless series of experiments to find out if slight modifications to the alloy of the tank steel would make it more cooperative. He had tried all day to clean a pair of high-voltage contacts with a spoon, ending up with the spoon bent and stuck between the contacts (When later asked why he did so he replied he had no idea). Rusakov was sitting in the main lab after a day of wasted and frustrating work. Basically, they tried to power up magnets with Tesla generators and then compress steel with it. After trying some chemical and mechanical methods they very quickly came to magnets. They were told to find a method that effectively strengthens and hardens steel to make it at least four times more durable at relative low costs. ![]() In January of 1952, a team of top Soviet scientists consisting of Maxim Rusakov, Jacob Vanger, the last two students of Nikola Tesla and a few others, (assisted by a then-unknown Igor Leonidov) worked on a top secret project in the outskirts of Moscow. The first thing to be known about the Iron Curtain is that it is the result of what was formerly considered to be a failed project. Uneconomical: In addition to its lengthy charge-up time, the Iron Curtain is quite expensive.Unhealthy: While having your molecules bounded together is all well and good for vehicles, infantry fair somewhat more poorly, and will die if the Iron Curtain is used on them.Unbreakable: When activated, the Iron Curtain can make a group of units or buildings completely invincible.
