After finding Goddard's legacy, the Interstellar Technology researchers finally had something to train. By studying these materials, they quickly had a good idea of what they were going to study in the future. It's no longer like it was flying like a headless fly at the beginning.

During this period, Hughes called Alex several times, and each time he asked about the company. He was so concerned about this matter that he sometimes called him in the middle of the night. This annoyed Alex so much that he even unplugged the phone line to calm down.

"Hey boy! How dare you unplug the phone line! After Hughes got on the phone, he kept yelling.

After Hughes's anger was over, Alex said slowly, "First, we are a cooperative relationship. You and I are both partners, please don't talk to me in the tone of a subordinate. Secondly, the company is now under my control, and the direction of the exhibition has been determined with you, but you don't need to ask about the details. Also, I don't like to be disturbed at night, and if you want to call later, please call when someone else is not sleeping. ”

Hughes was silent for a moment, and after a few minutes, a voice said, "Okay! You are right. So let's talk calmly, how is the Interstellar Technology Corporation formed now? I feel like you're having some problems, and if there's any difficulty, you can sue me. ”

Alex thought for a moment, then told Hughes about his difficulties, and he mentioned the rocket experts he knew, von Braun and Korolev, on the phone. He believes that if he can find one of these two rocket experts, it will be enough to preside over the company's research.

"Von Braun?" Hughes's shrill voice sounded even more peculiar on the phone, and he repeatedly asked for the name.

"Yes, von Brian, he is said to have been a Nazi rocket expert. It's a pity we can't get such a person. ”

Hughes laughed on the other end of the phone, and he said, "Why didn't you sue me sooner!" What kind of person you need, just list it and call me to find it. ”

Alex was slightly taken aback, and he asked, "Do you have a way to get this former Nazi here?" Won't there be any problems? ”

"You don't have to worry about that! You see, in this country, money is power! As long as you have the money, there's nothing you can't buy, man! There's nothing you can't buy!. ”

A few days later, Alex met the legendary former Nazi rocket expert, von Brian. This is a typical German, with haughty eyes and an aristocratic appearance, and when he is conversed, it is as if he were facing a well-bred gentleman, and it is difficult to imagine that he is a former Nazi. He is fluent in many languages, quick thinking, and meticulous in research.

Von Bryan came with his crew. And, of course, there are agents sent by the United States to spy on them.

"This is the von Braun you want, easier than I thought." Hughes said to Alex on the phone.

From von Braun's mouth, Alex knew that he had been captured by the United States for almost ten years at this time, but the U.S. government has never paid attention to the research of space technology. The U.S. government moved von Bryan and his crew to a massive military facility in Texas.

At that base, they trained people from the military, factories and universities in the design and manufacture of rockets and missiles. They even assisted in the recovery of a V2 rocket from Germany at the White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico. They also began to work on rockets for the military and research institutes.

In the beginning, they were not allowed to leave the base at will, except with military approval. Over the years, the surrendered Germans slowly gained the trust of the Americans, and von Bryan even returned to Germany on March 1, 1947. He went back to marry his cousin, and the two were married at a Lutheran church in Landshut .

After getting married, von Bryan is now less and less important to his rocket technology in the Americans. Some in the military believe that they have mastered German rocket technology and that there is no need to keep these former Nazis behind. These unstable factors should be eliminated to avoid leaving hidden dangers.

In order to gain support, von Bryan kept talking to relevant people and proposing more advanced and ambitious goals, trying to attract the attention of the US government. Unfortunately, the Americans were not too interested in Braun's views, and rocket development was only a step-by-step. In order to gain trust, Brian applied for American citizenship, and until early 1955, von Brian had not become a naturalized citizen. His application has not been approved.

Braun repeated his previous rocket business in Germany, and was directly involved in the development of military rockets, and the idea of rockets becoming the main force of future space exploration did not far from him. However, the search for official support has come to naught. So he turned to promoting his ideas to the public.

The May 14, 195o, Thehuntsvi11eTimes report "Dr. von Braun says rockets can fly to the moon" marked the beginning of Braun's efforts. In 1952, Braun restated his vision of a manned space station in the series "Mankind is on the Verge of Space" in the weekly magazine CO11'Eek1Y, which was illustrated by the space artist Neteste11 and made it widely circulated.

Just then, something bad happened, and the media dug up Braun's inglorious years as an SS soldier and participated in the selection of slave laborers to build V2 rockets. Some media even sharply pointed out that it would be a betrayal of the people to let such a former Nazi take on an important role in a research institute in the United States.

"Have we forgotten about the tragic deaths of those American ** people under the weapons developed by Nazi scientists? Who allowed Nazi scientists to enjoy American life unharmed! Who betrayed us? "Some tabloids who are afraid that the world will not be chaotic are hyped up.

Mr. Blair is now shunned by government officials who had previously been interested in his rocket technology. Disheartened, he stayed at home for a long time, and it happened that he was invited by Interstellar Technology at this time. He tentatively reported the invitation of this private company to see if the U.S. government took him seriously.

"Dr. Blair, you should accept this invitation." An official said this to him, and hinted that he offered to leave the research institute of the United States.

Blair was taken aback, and when he got home, he thought about it and finally accepted the offer. It wasn't until he came to Interstellar Technology that he learned that this company was founded by the famous Howard Hughes.

When Blair left the military's institute, his application for naturalization was quickly approved. For a free American, the government will not restrict his whereabouts, but given his previous status, the government intelligence agencies still sent agents to "protect"!

Seeing this famous rocket expert in later generations being poached, Alex was shocked by Hughes's power. He really didn't think that Hughes had the power to influence the U.S. government and get out former Nazis like von Bryan. You must know that the exhibition of American aerospace technology can be successful precisely under the leadership of Brian. Whether it is a satellite launch or a moon landing program, without Brian, the United States would not know how many streets the Soviet Union would have been missing.

Alex is unaware of the money and power transactions involved. However, he has never realized that the difference between the United States and the red big 6 is that money is power here. At the same time, the US government also hopes that someone will stand up and help them research rockets and space technology.

In this country, the relationship between the private sector and the government is intricate, and there are many sensitive technologies that are developed by the private sector and then procured by the government through state acts. In this way, private enterprises get the benefits, and the state does not have to bear too much burden. In some cases, the state gives money to private companies to research specific weapons.

During World War II, Hughes Airlines received $560,000 in research funding and ultimately failed to deliver a working plane on time. Other companies, such as Lockheed, McDonnell Douglas, Northrop and Boeing, received a total of $800 million, and all of them only made some planes that could not fly. There have also been 6o billion in arms, which have never been delivered.

If this kind of thing were born in the Red Big 6 and were known by the people, they would definitely be regarded as traitors. But in the United States, this kind of thing is commonplace, and people are used to it.

Brian's face was grim, and he nodded when others introduced Alex. He knew who the golden boy in front of him was, he had seen the movie, and he had heard the legend of the IQ test. It's just that he doesn't know why this teenager is the head of this company. He thought he was an older white American.

Could it be that young Americans are really that good, so they can beat us? Brian thought to himself.

Under Alex's introduction, Brian became more and more surprised the more he listened, and he began to look at the young man in front of him. From Goddard's materials, he saw a technology that was more advanced than the V2 rocket, even more powerful than what he was currently researching. As for Alex's words, they also gave him countless inspirations and inspired his ambition that had been quiet for a long time.

But when he heard that the company currently only has a few million dollars in funding, he immediately felt incredulous: "Such a small amount of money is only enough for us to do a few rocket launches." It is possible to develop a rocket that flies even higher! ”

Alex shook his head with a smile and said, "It's only temporary, but I'm afraid I'll have this amount of money in the past few years." As for the fact that the rocket shoots the real yàn, I don't think you should shoot it if it is not necessary. We are a private enterprise, not a government research institute, and if we build too many rockets, it will make people feel uneasy. ”

After hearing this, Brian wondered if Alex was talking in his sleep, and he asked rhetorically: "If we don't shoot rockets, we know so well that our research direction is right, and the result will be successful?" ”

Alex was prepared for this question, and he led Brian to a large house where machines were placed.

"Computer?" Brian also had some knowledge of transistor computers that had recently appeared, having seen it in a scientific journal.

This is a computer developed by Carpenter, and this is a computer that has been improved many times. Seymour Clay first took the original computer and remodeled his hands, and these are the results of his practice, and now he is developing a new computer.

"These computers are the fastest in the world today! You can use this to do a computational simulation first! When the conditions are ripe, you can build a physical object to verify your design. Alex said to Brian, who was looking at Brian, whose eyes were wide.

"Simulation? However, we don't have a physical object to refer to now, and I think we need to make a physical object first to really develop the rocket you need. Brian is a bit resistant to computer simulations, believing that they are all conclusions on paper and that you have to do it yourself to know what's right and what's wrong.

Alex looked at Brian and wondered if it was because of this that Brian fell behind in the rocket race with Korolev. After all, both the right and the wrong have been tried, and it takes too much time and effort. However, like Brian, it is good for the accumulation of technology.

On the Soviet side, all rocket technology depended on Korolev alone, and once Korolev died, Soviet aerospace technology plummeted. On the other hand, the United States is different. When Brian was there, he did a lot of practical work and accumulated a lot of experience and skills, even if he left NASA as early as 1972, it would not have had a big impact.

Unfortunately, Alex is not in the U.S. government, and he doesn't have that much time and money for Brian and his assistants to explore. "You don't need a physical rocket, you just need to simulate it based on the rocket model and the relevant parameters I gave," he said. You first simulate it on the computer, and when everything is safe, we first build a small rocket to verify the simulation results, and then we start to build a real rocket for use. ”

Brian understands that it's all about the difference between business and government. He appreciated Alex's rough rocket scheme, but he wasn't very sure. But in the face of this situation, he also had to go all the way to the dark.

After seeing Alex get into the car, Blair looked back and saw that only the researchers of Interstellar Technology were left. Most of the people here are recent college graduates, and very few have done research work. Only the team he brought himself, those assistants were his team.

With only a few million dollars and these people, will he be able to realize his dream? Brian is full of anxiety about the future, but he feels free. When he was at the military's base, he had to apply upwards for everything he did. Here, he's the boss, and he's going to listen to everyone but Hughes and Alex.

"Two more years, two more years will be the age of astronautics." When Alex got into the car, he whispered to himself.

He knew that two years later, in 1957, the Soviet Union launched the first human satellite into space. Since then, the history of the US-Soviet aerospace hegemony has begun.

Alex and Hughes were bent on pushing the United States to open up the universe, but before the Soviet Union did not launch satellites, the Americans still had no interest in outer space. They are not even interested in other countries on the planet, let alone the universe.

In the face of this situation, the two of them could not do anything, so they had to silently show their rocket technology and satellite technology. At first, they didn't think of building a satellite, and it was only after Alex bought a television station that the idea came to them.
