170 V-2 success and failure

readx;?โ€œ Where are we going? โ€

"You'll know when you get there, you've been to this place once before. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"I've been here?"

"Hmm!"

Speechless, sitting on the plane, Heydrich today was tight-lipped and didn't plan to say anything, Li Ling couldn't ask anything, so naturally he didn't ask anymore, closed his eyes and recuperated, anyway, he would see what he should see sooner or later.

Li Ling slept until the plane landed, and then walked off the plane in a daze, seeing the scene in front of him that didn't seem to be very familiar, and looked at Heydrich with a puzzled face: "Are you sure I've been here before?" โ€

The periphery of the airport is full of trees, the kind of primeval forest, and at the end of the airport is a row of neat houses, which looks like it has just been built not long ago, Li Ling can't remember when he has been here, but why did Heydrich not say that he had been there?

"This is Peneminde!"

"What? This is Peneminde? How big is it? โ€

Li Ling looked at everything around him in disbelief, this was no longer the small village he had when he first came, this was like a lost city hidden in the primeval forest!

"Yes, I didn't even know there was this place at the beginning, but after you mentioned it on purpose, I was very interested, and then the A4 rocket project you mentioned, I spent a lot of money, and I didn't even approve the navy for more money, and I'm now fully supporting this project, and now, they have succeeded!"

"Succeeded? V-2 project? Is there any mistake? So fast? โ€

Li Ling stared at a pair of big eyes, his eyeballs were about to pop out of his sockets, he didn't dare to imagine that it was something that was only finalized in 1942 and put into service in 1944, how could he listen to Heydrich's tone and make it out now? That's too fast, isn't it? This doesn't make sense at all!

In fact, Li Ling forgot a more important problem, just when there were design problems with the A4 rocket and he was about to revise the plan, the historical German Third Reich suddenly withdrew all the funds and did not continue to invest money in the V-2 project, which is why the V-2 missile appeared so late.

In fact, at that time, Germany's rocket manufacturing technology was already at the top level in the world, but there was a problem with funds, which led to the almost miscarriage of the V-2 missile.

"Huh? V-2 project? I've always been based on A-4 projects, and I don't have a V-prefix project, right? โ€

"Ah, oh, that's it anyway, just know that this thing is a ballistic missile, it's an artifact, I love you to death!"

"What?"

Heydrich really felt that it was very easy to talk to Li Ling, but sometimes he was very tired! Because it seems that Li Ling knows everything, but sometimes the words that come out of Li Ling's mouth are so confusing, and all kinds of new terms may pop up at any time, and that is when he really has a headache. However, forget it, just memorize it yourself, and when you go back, you will have people specialize in researching what this word Li Ling said, and if you can't study it, you can ask Li Ling again. Now the main task is to witness the A-4, oh no, according to Li Ling, to witness the birth of the V-2.

"Let's go, let's go over there first, the project team said to let us stay as far away as possible, after all, this thing is too big, and they themselves can't guarantee 100% success, so they prepared a place for us in advance."

There was a three-story house on a dirt slope about two or three hundred meters away from the launch site, and at the top of the house was a platform where they were going to witness the launch.

Boarding the platform, there were already a lot of people gathered there, and there were even two cameras filming, and it looked like it was already ready.

Coming up to the platform, Li Ling found a seat with his name tag and sat down directly, Heydrich was not so relaxed, he was the head of state, he needed to express all kinds of concern and condolences, and he had to ask about the progress of the project decently, although he couldn't understand a word.

After finishing his routine work, Heydrich finally sat down, his position was in the middle, Li Ling was next to him, the launch was about to start, and the sound of a countdown came from a speaker on the platform that was not very large!

"Ten! Nine! Eighty-three! Two! One! Ignition! โ€

With the ignition order given, the bottom of the huge V-2 missile standing on the launch pad began to spray flames, and the water in the pool under the launch pad was rapidly vaporized, and white smoke began to fill the missile continuously.

Although the distance was very far, Li Ling, as a person who had seen this kind of scene for the first time, was inevitably greatly shocked.

The fourteen-meter-high huge missile body slowly lifted into the air under the impetus of the bottom engine, the initial speed was very slow, and then it accelerated little by little, such a huge and elongated thing, it is really unimaginable that it can be pushed straight into the sky by the only engine at the bottom while maintaining a vertical state.

The heat wave surged towards Li Ling's location somewhat slowly in a visible state, it seemed to be very slow, but just when the heat wave arrived, everyone felt a strong wind, a hot wind! This heat wave is not as slow as expected!

The small loudspeaker was still broadcasting the data of the missile, this time there was no actual combat target, this was a test launch, and the experts of the Peneminde R&D team believed that the V-2 missile could already be mass-produced, so they would make this test launch so exciting at this time.

However, just when the missile was soaring into the sky, when the missile had become the size of a grain of rice, and when the missile was about to disappear from view completely, something unexpected happened to everyone!

Suddenly, several people rushed to the platform, set up Li Ling and Heydrich and were about to go down, and even found a board of unknown materials to block the heads of the two people, and then the piercing hiss of the air defense siren began to sound, Li Ling wanted to look up to see what was going on, however, his vision was completely blocked by the board!

When they rushed down the three-story building, when they entered the underground bunker on the hillside, almost at that moment, an earth-shattering explosion suddenly came, and dust kept falling from the top of the bunker!

"What happened?"

"What's wrong?"

Heydrich and Li Ling asked questions almost at the same time, they were very concerned about what had just happened, everything was a little too abnormal, the first reaction of the two of them in their hearts was that there was an air raid here, and it was probably the British who discovered the existence of Penemรผnde!

However, the personnel of the R&D team gave an answer that neither of them expected, which was originally full of joy but instantly plunged all their moods into a freezing point - "The rocket failed to launch, and the parameters of the rocket changed undue after liftoff, and it was out of control" (to be continued). )
