When Flerov went on an expedition khổng lồ Siberia, Oganessian seized his chance. Testing his theory, he fired argon-40 at lead-208 to make fermium-244, predicting it would shed four neutrons and create an isotope with a half-life of only 4ms. The new technique produced fermium-246, losing only two neutrons, with a half-life of 1.1s. The resulting yield was 10,000 times greater than he imagined.

So Oganessian managed khổng lồ produce 10,000 times more fermium than other techniques.
All said, the phrasing is certainly non-scientific & imprecise. Since it is a reported quote, we cannot put all the blame on the author. The reported reaction lớn the quote indicates that its meaning was well understood at the time, though, even if the wording is somewhat imprecise.
