Chapter 103: Father of Rockets

　　The intercontinental highways in the United States are quite wide, and at the same time, they are quite desolate.
　　 Riding on a pickup truck given by Ford, Cyric took a few of his escorts, Mercedes-Benz on the American intercontinental highway, can't see the end at a glance.
　　 This is Ford’s latest BB pickup truck. Compared with the later generations of the Raptor, the current Ford pickup looks more cute, not bad, and indeed a bit cute. The car of this era is almost round in shape!
Coming to the United States, the main task has been almost completed, contacting Hitler’s two fans, Hughes and Ford, pulling their capital and technology to serve Germany, at the same time, since coming to the United States, Cyric has some other Thing.
　　 For example, in the United States now, there is another unwilling scientist who is worrying about raising funds and conducting his experiments.
　　 This man was embarrassed all his life. It was not until afterwards that his research was taken seriously, recognized by the scientific community and by public opinion, and even gave him the title of father of modern rockets.
Correct! What Cyric is looking for is someone who can study ballistic missiles, no, sounding rockets!
　　 Speaking of rockets, many military fans will think of Braun, Qian Xuesen, Carmen and others, and almost all of them can be regarded as his disciples and grandchildren! He is the first person to develop a rocket!
　　 Robert Goddard, born in 1882, died of throat cancer in 1945, he is an American professor, engineer and inventor, and the inventor of liquid rockets. He launched the world's first liquid rocket on March 16, 1926!
　　 Goddard successfully applied three-axis control, gyroscope and controllable thrust to the rocket, effectively controlling the rocket's flight.
　　 Goddard obtained a total of 214 patents in his lifetime, 83 of which were obtained during his lifetime. To commemorate him, NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center was named after him. The Goddard Crater on the Moon is also named after him.
　　It's just that, in this era, Goddard is still in poverty. You know, to engage in rockets, it was originally a national project, now it is too difficult to let one person do it!
　　 Although Goddard's work is revolutionary, his research and development work rarely receives public support. The press sometimes mocked his space theory.
　　 For example, the reporters of The New York Times laughed at him even though he didn't even understand the basic physics knowledge in high school, and fantasized about traveling to the moon all day. They simply named Goddard "Moon Man".
　　 Goddard is not afraid of public ridicule. He firmly believes in his ideals. At the same time, he borrows money everywhere. The biggest sum is probably that Seuss raised 50,000 US dollars for Goddard from the Geggenheim Foundation.
　　 With these funds, Goddard moved to Roswell, New Mexico with his family and four assistants to establish his launch site.
　　 From that time on, Goddard stayed in Roswell until his death.
　　 And now, Goddard not only has to conduct research, but also constantly worry about funding! Cyric believes that Goddard will definitely be willing to follow as long as he offers excellent conditions!
Cyric had planned a long time ago. In Libya, no one noticed the establishment of a new base for Goddard. Germany will fully guarantee Goddard’s research and development funds. At the same time, it will send a group of technical personnel to work together. research!
　　 Libya is relatively secretive. At the same time, it is quite empty. You don't have to worry about safety when launching rockets. It is the best!
　　 The United States is vast, and there are very few domestic railways in the United States, and almost everything is transported by road.
　　 In this era, horse-drawn carriages have just been eliminated, and automobiles have become popular. As an industrialized country, American horse-drawn carriages have been eliminated quite quickly.
　　 At least, the U.S. has a vast territory, so now that I have been walking for a long time, I can hardly see any vehicles.
　　 "In Detroit, we saw that the industrial strength of the United States was too strong, but here, we felt similar to our country." Graf said to Cyric as he drove.
　　 "That's because the United States is too vast. A country with a vast land is difficult to defeat because they have sufficient strategic depth." Cyric said with a sigh.
　　 European countries, the land is too small, this is the reason why the blitzkrieg was able to win at the beginning, but in the Soviet Union, it was impossible to move forward, because the Soviet Union was too vast!
　　If, Cyric, if the German army can advance to the United States, then the German army will also face the problem of depth.
　　 Forget it, these are still too far away. Even if Cyric crossed over, he was full of confidence, and he never thought about pushing the United States, the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom, etc., and he has already established enough merits.
　　 When I find Goddard, I have a missile that can reach the United States in advance, and I will put a few of them for fun. UU reading www.uukahnshu.com seems to be very good.
　　 Cyric withdrew his thoughts, turned his gaze to the outside, and suddenly his eyes sharpened.
　　 I don’t know when, behind one’s own vehicle, he actually followed a truck!
Now, there is no heavy truck like Optimus Prime with the big nose of later generations. The truck behind is still a primitive truck. For example, even the cab is not covered, and the back of this car is full. A whole container of firewood!
　　 "Graf, when did the car behind follow?" Cyric said.
　　 "One minute, what, is there a problem?" Graf asked.
　　 "I don't know, speed up, throw it away!" Cyric said.
　　 followed a car, which is very common on ordinary roads, but now, Cyric always has an ominous premonition.
　　 speed up! Hearing Cyric's order, Graf stepped on the accelerator, the front engine roared, and the speed of the car became faster and faster.
　　 "Look, there is something ahead!" Graf said loudly just after accelerating.
　　 The road in the distance is shiny, and it must be covered with broken glass! So far, Cyric is almost certain that there is definitely a problem!
　　 Those glasses must have been fixed long ago, and some of them will stick out with their sharp ends, so they will definitely puncture the tires in the past!
　　 At the same time, the truck behind was blazing black smoke. Obviously, the other side also stepped on the accelerator and wanted to hit it!
　　 This is a conspiracy, absolutely a conspiracy, someone wants his own life! At this moment, a person's head flashed in Cyric's mind. Could it be him?
　　 There was a sharp brake sound in his ear, and Graf stepped on the brake.
