Chapter 4 Future Planning

Seeing the excited face of Obert, Yannick sighed secretly in his heart.

　　 This sentence is also popular decades later, the future of mankind is the sea of ​​stars and the sea, to conquer the entire universe. But this sentence has been shouting for decades. It stands to reason that with the rapid development of human technology, we should get closer and closer to this goal. But in 2018, when he crossed over, let alone the solar system, humans could not even conquer the moon "close at hand", and the number of landings on the moon was only a few times.

Don't look at the sci-fi movies of later generations often appearing in various ox-crossed spaceships, and even various scenes of interstellar wars, but all this is still very far away from humanity in 2019, let alone now in the 1920s and 1930s. Up.

　　 When he was a child, he also wondered why various countries on the earth did not let go of all their prejudices and cooperated in the development of outer space, but later he also wanted to understand that this is basically a idiotic idea.

　　 Prejudice and selfishness are the weaknesses of human nature. The origin of civilization has been six thousand years, but mankind has never downplayed its aggressiveness and various discriminations. Unless the earth encounters such a huge as described in the movie 2012, human beings may be united when there is a common external pressure (of course, even at that time, it is the same as the closeness and the difference, and it also involves the distribution of benefits).

Since God or what ever cosmic being gave him such an opportunity, he would not have the luxury of unifying the world, but at least it is worth trying to integrate the resources of the entire Europe into space.

"However, we still need to make technical reserves in advance. When the technology reaches a certain level in the future, after the emergence of new materials, we only need to put our prepared theories into practice, right? It's better than the time. Research from scratch is much better."

　　Obert simply fell on the ground with the five bodies admired by the young Royal Prince. Learned, calm and rational, pursue the truth, not arrogant or impetuous, looking at the future as well as the present. If he inherits the throne, he is definitely a Mingjun.

　　 "It takes a bite to eat a meal, and it takes a step by step. Let's start from a young age. I need several rockets, military ones."

"..." Obert didn't react for a while. Why did he switch to military rockets when he talked about space rockets? "What kind of rockets does your Highness need?"

Yannick asked the secretary to bring paper and pen, and scribbled the rocket from his memory. "The first type is a rocket with a caliber of 122 mm. The length of the projectile does not exceed 1,800 mm, and the weight does not exceed 60 kg, including warhead counterweights ranging from 18 kg to 30 kg. The maximum range when the 18 kg warhead is installed is at least It is necessary to guarantee 15 kilometers. This thing does not need to deliberately pursue accuracy, as long as it falls in a rough position, and it should save costs as much as possible." When it comes to rocket launchers during World War II, the first thing that comes to mind is definitely the famous Soviet Katyusha. However, little is known that Germany also developed a similar rocket launcher in 1938. It is a pity that the rigorous character of the Germans makes R&D personnel always pursue the accuracy of this rocket. As a result, the accuracy has not improved much, but the manufacturing cost has reached eight or nine times that of the Soviet Katyusha rockets. The German military will only appreciate this kind of stuff when it is crazy.

Obert once again sighed Yannick's insights, took the paper and looked at it. It doesn't seem to be difficult, the rocket data has been marked, he only needs to get the engine and propellant. But the last sentence made him very puzzled. "His Royal Highness, this weapon does not seem to have much accuracy. Even if it is manufactured, it will not be purchased by the military?" Since it is for military use, it must be used in warfare. He saw at a glance that this thing would basically not have any accuracy. Going out, there are too many factors that can affect the flight of the projectile.

Yannick smiled. "One has no accuracy, but what if 20 or 30 are launched together? How much area does it need to cover? Should I still need to consider accuracy at that time?" The main function of the rocket launcher is to target the enemy's target. "Covering shooting",It is to fight face and not to manage, mainly used to destroy and suppress the firepower of cluster targets and large targets, so it does not need to be so "precise." Of course, except for rockets with precision guidance.

　　"..." Obert is not a professional weapon expert after all, and he doesn't quite understand what kind of use this rocket can be used for, but since His Highness has already proposed it, he only needs to do it.

Yannick then drew the RPzb43/54 88mm "Tank Killer" anti-tank rocket launcher, iron fist, and aviation rockets used on the attack aircraft. These gadgets only require Obert to be responsible for making the propulsion device, and the warhead warheads are handed over to more professional people.

　　The last type of aviation rocket was also a finished product copied from the original Soviet Union in time and space. In 1930, the aerodynamic research group of Soviet rocket expert Nikolai Ivanovich Ditumilov developed an aviation rocket powered by smokeless powder, which did not require complicated mechanical firing mechanisms and artillery barrels. Dead weight, just launch from the trough-shaped slide under the wing of the aircraft. At the end of 1933, the world's first actual combat aviation rocket, the RS-82 rocket, was in service with a diameter of 82 mm and a range of up to 5,000 meters. Its power is comparable to a heavy artillery of the same caliber.

The 　　 Il-2 attack machine can carry 24 of these rockets. Think about rationing this weapon to Rudel, the "Fall Licking Demon", how much more record would you have to increase! Maybe in addition to the Golden Oak Leaf Double Swords Diamond Knight's Cross, another medal is needed to recognize his merits.

"The last one." Yannick continued after YY. "I want a large rocket with a range of more than 300 kilometers. A weapon that is propelled by its own power unit and guided to the target by a guidance system. The total length is not more than 15m, the diameter is not more than 2 meters, and it uses ethanol and liquid oxygen as fuel." According to him. Knowing that Obert's main interest lies in solid fuels, he also knows that liquid fuels have strong molecular activity and low chemical stability. They basically must be stored at low temperatures, which is quite troublesome. It is possible that the current technology simply cannot produce this kind of solid fuel to promote such a large rocket. It is necessary to know that the practical solid rocket motor was only produced in the Soviet Union in 1956. Even if he uses future knowledge to promote technological development, he does not think that A solid rocket motor can be manufactured within ten years.

　　 So he doesn't want to waste time on goals that are impossible to achieve.

　　 "Hiss!" Obert couldn't help but sucked in an air-conditioner. The range was over 300 kilometers? The first types of self-confidence are not difficult for him, but the last type is not so confident. After hesitating for a while, he asked carefully. "His Royal Highness, how much research and development time do I have?"

"Ten years." It took only 5 years for the original space-time V2 missile from development to finalization. Although he has advanced the development time, ten years should be more than enough.

"Ten years?" Obert couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. If he was asked to produce such a large rocket within two or three years, it should be said to be a super rocket, then he would not be confident that he could do it even with a knife holder around his neck. To. With ten years now, he feels that it is enough. Once this kind of super rocket is successfully built, it doesn't seem to be difficult to develop sounding rockets on this basis? His Royal Highness is really foresight.

"Dr. Obert, you can invite like-minded colleagues to study together. Although the current economic situation of the empire is a bit bad, I will try my best to meet the various materials and equipment you need for the experiment. I will not treat people who contribute to the empire. Not only the researchers themselves, but their family members can also enjoy various benefits. However, I don't need those who have no real talents. In addition, the research department will have the national security department to intervene to prevent this technology from being foreign theft."

Yannick certainly has no mind-reading skills, and would not know that the Herman Obert in front of him is about to become his stubborn fan, so he continued to speak for himself. Although this is not an anti-war person, Yannick explained. "Dr. Obert, to be honest, I am also a pacifist. I also want to make Germany peaceful and strong. It is a pity that sometimes I cannot help myself. Now Germany is surrounded by enemies looking at us, and they won't look at us. Send some things into space, maybe they worry that someday those things will fall and hit their homes."

Obert smiled and nodded. "Fear comes from ignorance."

"Maybe they will be curious to find out, and they are more likely to grab these results into their homes for their own use. I don't know what purpose they are used for. What I want to do is to create a stable for you. Research the environment. And the journey to the universe is definitely a bottomless pit. It is impossible to complete it with our German financial resources alone, so at least it must be achieved by integrating European forces. So Dr. Obert, this important task is in your hands." A bit more foolish than Einstein. Yannick sighed in his heart and sent out Dr. Obert, who was flattered.
