To engage in sounding rockets is not only a problem of funding and technology, but even more terrifying is that there will be a cost of life at any time!
In order to study advanced rockets, many designers risked their lives. The most famous accident is probably the most tragic missile explosion in the world in 1960.
How tragic is ? The commander of the Soviet missile force at the scene, Marshal Mi?i? Nejelin was killed on the spot, and all 160 Soviet astronauts on the launch pad were also killed. All the creatures on the scene were gone, only coins and keys were left!
The rocket engine of the missile needs the most advanced fuel and oxidant. It can burn stably and can provide a steady stream of power. If it cannot burn stably, it will explode!
Moreover, the most helpless thing is that inside the rocket engine, there is a space for complex gas and liquid. In many cases, it is impossible to use various theoretical formulas to calculate, and it can only be determined through actual experiments!
Therefore, the rocket engine needs continuous experimentation to be able to finalize it. I don’t know how many failures it takes to succeed! But now, in the early days of the Rockets, everything is groping!
And now, when Cyric and his party just arrived, they just saw a flame burst out of the simple room over there!
"Quick, fight the fire!" At this time, Cyric didn't even think about the possible explosion. He only knew that his mission this time was to find Professor Goddard. If he let this professor burn to death here , I came in vain, and without Professor Goddard, the German missiles must be delayed for a long time to appear!
Fight the fire!
The fire was violent, and it was just smoking. Just as Cyric rushed over, the raging fire over there was about to begin!
How to do? How to do?
Cyric saw a large water tank next to him, and immediately filled a bucket with a bucket of water, poured it onto his body, and drenched all over his body, then, gritted his teeth and rushed into it!
The wooden door was kicked open by Cyric. Amidst the thick smoke, several people could be seen lying on the ground. One of the old men was quite eye-catching.
Goddard!
The fire was fierce, Cyric felt that the water on his body was quickly evaporating, and it would not take long before he would burn here!
"Professor, professor!" Cyric yelled, and then quickly ran to the professor's side, pulled the professor up, and carried him on his shoulders.
At this time, Graf and a few people had already rushed in. They picked up other people and brought them out together.
There was a burnt smell on his head, I am afraid that the hair on his head was roasted!
Fortunately, several people have been rescued. In the open space outside, Cyric and others panted, watching Goddard and others slowly wake up.
"Who are you?" After Goddard woke up, he looked at Cyric and others and asked.
When he turned his head and saw the burning workshop, Goddard's eyes widened in an instant, and he shouted: "No, no!"
He struggled to get up and put out the fire in his workshop, the expression on his face was quite painful.
That workshop is all he has!
"No, professor, you can't go!" Cyric held Goddard tightly and said, "There is no rescue there."
"No, let me go, let me go!" Goddard at this time seemed to be a stubborn child.
Goddard did not move in the end.
The house has been burnt down!
Kneeling on the ground, Goddard's body was trembling constantly. At this time, his heart was extremely painful.
Just now, while experimenting with new fuel, a big fire broke out! Burned all of his! Now it is extremely difficult to raise funds, and it is really difficult to start the experiment again!
Goddard is now fifty years old, and his destitute life has made Goddard look even older, and this failure was a heavy blow!
The current Goddard is very painful. He doesn't know if he can bear it, or if he can find enough funds to re-establish the laboratory and continue the experiment.
Goddard’s eyes were blurred. He seemed to have seen his childhood. At first, he looked at the bright moon and kept thinking, why can’t he go up? Yes, I want to go up!
What do you rely on? Of course the Rockets!
was ridiculed by others as being a Moonman, Goddard is not sad, because he really wants to be a Moonman!
But now? Everything is over!
"Professor, please don't be sad. We are very interested in sounding rockets. Perhaps we can talk about our cooperation. Let me introduce you. My name is Cyrek and I am from Germany." Cyrek stretched out himself. Hands.
Cyric? This name seems familiar? Professor Goddard stretched out his hand and held him together. At the same time, he took a look at him. The end of his hair ~EbookFREE.me~ has burnt marks and the whole body is soaked. Just now, if it weren't for these people in front of me, I would have burned to death in it!
"Thank you very much for saving me. You are from Germany? How do you work together?" Goddard asked.
"We firmly believe that sounding rockets are the right development direction. We plan to initially invest 1 million marks in the development cost as a start-up fund to establish a modern rocket test site and hire you as the chief designer. At the same time, in order to facilitate launch Rockets, we will find an open area, no man’s land in North Africa, so that when the rocket is launched, it will not be affected in any way. I don’t know how you feel?"
1 million marks! Professor Goddard's biggest sum of money is the $50,000 raised by Hughes! If there are 1 million marks, then Goddard's research can be quickly expanded!
He wants to test the ratio of various fuels, he wants to test various types of engines, and requires a variety of advanced materials and processing equipment. These all require capital investment!
Moreover, this 1 million mark is the upfront cost! Later, more funds will be added!
"Your manpower is also severely insufficient. We plan to select some people who love the aerospace industry from the domestic scientific research personnel to join your team and study together. Our dream is to be able to see the landing while we are still alive. That day on the moon." Cyric said to Goddard.
The ghost only cares about that day. Is there anything good on the moon worthy of nostalgia? What I care most about is when will I be able to build an intercontinental missile that directly hits the United States!
Goddard’s eyes slowly flashed new hope. He looked at the still burning workshop and said to Cyric: "Okay, I am willing to follow you."
