- Minister.
- Commander.
:10:06
Good morning, sir.
:10:09
A new pet, Q?
:10:10
If, 007, you'd ever bothered to read
any memos sent from my department,
:10:15
you would realise this is a prototype
of a sophisticated surveillance machine.
:10:19
Now we're all here
you can get on with the briefing, Q.
:10:22
Very good, sir.
:10:25
Gentlemen...
:10:28
A silicon integrated circuit:
:10:31
the essential part
of all modern computers.
:10:34
No lecture, Q.
We're all aware of the microchip.
:10:37
Until recently, all microchips
were susceptible to damage
:10:42
from the intense magnetic pulse
of a nuclear explosion.
:10:45
- Magnetic pulse?
- Yes, Minister.
:10:48
One burst in outer space over the UK
and everything with a microchip in it,
:10:52
from the modern toaster to sophisticated
computers and our defence systems,
:10:56
would be rendered useless.
:10:59
We'd be paralysed -
at the Russians' mercy.
:11:01
That is why a private defence
contractor came up with this:
:11:05
a chip totally impervious
to magnetic pulse damage.
:11:09
Now - if I place it on the micro-comparator
:11:12
and compare it with
the chip Bond recovered
:11:15
from the body of 003 in Siberia...
:11:21
- When I bring the two images together...
- They're identical.
:11:25
The KGB must have a pipeline
into that research company.
:11:29
It would appear so.
:11:30
Six months ago that company was
acquired by an Anglo-French combine:
:11:35
Zorin lndustries.
:11:37
There has been a security
check of the plant?
:11:40
A very extensive one.
But we have no leads.
:11:43
What about Zorin himself?
:11:45
Max Zorin? lmpossible.
He's a leading French industrialist.
:11:49
A staunch anti-communist with
influential friends in the government.
:11:53
With due respect, Minister,
:11:55
the leak did occur
after Zorin bought the company.
:11:58
Precisely why
I've initiated an investigation.
