Chapter 591: Ready to launch

One after another all-wheel-drive off-road heavy trucks, the tires were stained with mud. At this time, they were already busy on a flat ground as their temporary launch position.
If you look at it from the outside, this off-road heavy truck is taller than an ordinary off-road heavy truck. Just looking at its tires, it's bigger than an ordinary military heavy truck, and it's as tall as a person! The pattern on the top is very deep.
Among them, the front two axles can be steered. This is a four-axle vehicle, one more steering axle than off-road heavy trucks, and the four axles are almost equally spaced.
All this means that this truck is extremely special.
The front of the car is not big, it only accommodates two occupants, and the car behind is completely wrapped in tarpaulin. You can see that it is round and round, and I don't know what it is.
There are 20 launch vehicles in the entire position. At this time, around them, there are more than 50 wheeled infantry fighting vehicles, and more than 500 soldiers guarding the outside. They are all carrying the most advanced mp38. Submachine guns are ready.
On an off-road vehicle, several personnel walked down. Although they were also wearing military uniforms, their demeanor lacked the murderousness of a soldier and added a rigorous technical staff.
The v-2 missile has been studied for many years, but now it is the first live ammunition shooting. In order to ensure the accuracy of the shooting, Braun worked tirelessly and personally led the team.
At present, the German rocket research is led by Goddard. This scientist invited by Cyric from the United States has been working tirelessly on rockets and has become the leader of Germany, and Braun , Also under the leadership of Goddard, quickly matured.
However, Goddard is already old after all, and Braun is just that year. Moreover, Goddard most hopes for the rocket to conquer space, not as a weapon, so Goddard did not follow.
When experimenting in Libya, the rocket was launched directly on a concrete platform, but if you want to deploy the V-2 missile into actual combat deployment, you must transport it quickly and deploy it quickly.
Under this circumstance, they need to have a tool for transportation and launching, so they got in touch with the country and made a request, and the country produced this special vehicle.
The tall tires are for better off-road capability. At the same time, the main body of the vehicle is improved from the original off-road heavy truck. At the same time, the horsepower of the engine has been increased. This special transport launch vehicle has thus become the main force of the No. 14 unit. From the outside, it is actually very similar to the Scud missile launch vehicle of later generations.
The role is also very similar, transport and launch!
At this time, Braun was quite busy. When they arrived here, the first step was to determine the coordinates here.
It is a thousand miles away, and it is absolutely appropriate to use it for launching rockets. Only by knowing where you are and then based on the location of the target can you calculate the correct trajectory for the v-2 missile.
In his hand, he held a special device, a sextant. This kind of marine equipment can now also be used on land to determine longitude and latitude. At the same time, a car behind him is also equipped with a radio. The locator, a variety of equipment, integrated use to improve measurement accuracy.
At the same time, in addition to him, there are some army officers and soldiers who are also using instruments to locate them like him. They admire these coming experts very much. Now, it happens to be an opportunity to learn and improve.
At the same time, the other missile soldiers were also rapidly preparing. Several vehicles similar to the tanker trucks drove over. The missile soldiers wore gas masks and prepared to refuel.
In the past, missiles used alcohol and liquid oxygen. These things are non-toxic, except that the liquid oxygen is low in temperature. But now, the missile fuel has been replaced with unsymmetrical dimethylhydrazine and nitric acid. This thing is Very toxic.
At this time, they are waiting for the final order.
Until the last moment, they can’t refuel the missile because these things are corrosive. If the refueling is done and the launch mission is cancelled, then even if they pump out the fuel, they will cause some damage to the missile. .
They are now preparing first and waiting for the order to be issued.
Ten minutes later, Braun accurately measured the coordinates of his launch position. At the same time, orders, launch tasks, targets, the opposite British Air Force base, and London were also sent from the radio!
Calculate now!
The missile soldiers got into the launch vehicle. At the front end of the launch vehicle, there was a control room.
This special launch vehicle has a cab in front, and at the same time, there is a space behind the cab. This space is the control room for launching missiles!
Inside, there is a big guy similar to a special shooting commander. They set their own coordinates and target data. This big machine is rumbling around~EbookFREE.me~ Comprehensive weather data, etc., calculated After ten minutes, finally, the data needed for shooting was calculated.
Just as they determined the firing data, behind, the missile soldiers in charge of refueling focused all their attention and began to refuel the missiles.
Dragging the tube and docking it to the opening on the side of the missile, when docked, a small amount of gas leaked out.
The missile soldiers wearing gas masks have become accustomed to this. The fuel car behind them made a humming sound, and the fuel pump quickly filled the fuel.
When the tube was unplugged, a white gas came out again.
"No. 1 is loaded."
"No. 2 is loaded."
…
"Stand up!"
The missile is filled with fuel on the launch vehicle. This is more convenient. Now that the filling is complete, the hydraulic cylinder of the launch vehicle slowly lifts the missile. When the missile is upright, the rear of the launch vehicle is just right. A steel plate is highlighted as a stable launch platform.
"The top starts."
Braun watched from the side. Many of these fighters had been trained in Libya, and now they have mastered every command very well.
The flight of ballistic missiles depends entirely on the top to determine the state of the missile, to detect various signals, and to issue various instructions. It can be said that the top determines whether the missile can hit the target.
"The top starts normally."
"The fuel pump is on."
"Launch countdown."
When the fuel pump is turned on, the launch enters an irreversible stage. Unsymmetrical dimethylhydrazine and nitric acid, under the action of the fuel pump, flow into the rocket engine. In an instant, a burst of white gas emerges from the nozzle at the tail. It was the steam of nitric acid, and then a small flame in the combustion chamber ignited.
"ignition!"
