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.
