The periscope was quickly installed on the "target aircraft" according to Qin Chuan's idea, and a series of data comparisons were carried out on the navigation system according to the data adjusted by Hannah.

So a few days later, the second test flight went much more smoothly.

On the one hand, the success of this is that the endangerment rate of Hannah's human operation has been greatly reduced, which shows that the "target aircraft" has become more and more in line with the requirements of unmanned driving.

Of course, it is almost impossible to get all the data right in a single test flight, and Hannah recorded that on the second test flight, she made a total of five maneuvers of the "target aircraft", and the magnitude was very small. In the first test flight, a total of more than 20 times were carried out, and more than half of them were large-scale maneuvers.

In Hannah's words, "I almost fell asleep in it, it's amazing, it can fly through the air on its own, like a living thing, I'm already in love with it!" ”

This illustrates two things:

One is that Hannah's correction controls are very accurate, because the controls she makes are basic data, and these data will not be accurate if they are misadjusted.

Second, the regulation and control of scientific research personnel are very in place.

In short, the conscientious and cautious attitude of the Germans played a big role in this, and it was especially important in this kind of test flight, which missed a thousand miles in the slightest.

On the other hand, the success was that Hannah successfully landed smoothly in the second test flight, and the "target aircraft" did not even suffer any damage, and of course Hannah did not.

This boosted the morale of the entire team and gave them a lot of confidence.

"I think we'll be able to completely correct it after a few more test flights!" Von Braun said.

"Yes!" Conrad agreed: "Five times now, four times next time, three times...... When it can fly up to two hundred kilometers without making mistakes, then in principle, it will already be able to complete the task! ”

"In fact, a hundred kilometers can make a difference on the battlefield!" "Because Sicily is only 90 kilometers away from the closest location of Malta, and there are also the closer islands of Banterella and Lampedusa, it is said that the Americans have built another airport in Gozo!" ”

"In other words......" Conrad said excitedly, "we can bomb the airfields they built on these islands in Sicily, oh...... I can't help but want to see what it looks like when it bombs enemy airfields! ”

"I'd rather see their faces when they're bombed!" Hannah interjected, "They're going to be scared!" ”

The officers couldn't help but laugh.

What Qin Chuan and the others didn't know was that their experiment in Salat had already attracted the attention of the allies.

Salat is the heart of Algeria, and the original Allied reconnaissance planes would not be interested in reconnoitring it.

On the one hand, this is because the distance is too far, more than 1,000 kilometers away from the Gabess defense line, and basically no reconnaissance aircraft can fly back to such a long distance.

On the other hand, it is a desert that has no great strategic value for both the enemy and us.

The Allies were able to notice this only because of an accident...... A B17 bomber on a bombing mission broke down and broke away from the bomber group, and then got lost and flew here.

Then, unable to tell where he was, the B17 pilot decided to lower the altitude to confirm.

As a result, they saw a tall reflective frame in an abandoned village in the desert...... The launcher stood out in a dilapidated house, and German fortifications were placed around it.

Bombers generally do not carry photographic equipment, but a war correspondent happened to be on the bomber, and he used his portable camera to take a few photos through the window.

Although the photograph was blurred, it was sent to the headquarters of the 15th Army Group.

"It could just be a German trick or something like a radar antenna!" Eisenhower was dismissive of this.

"No, Ike!" Montgomery said, "It's laying this slope that doesn't look like a radar antenna, and if it's a mystery at all...... Nor should they be in such a secluded location. If it weren't for B17 stumbling into this area, we wouldn't even know it existed! ”

Although Eisenhower felt that Montgomery had a point, he still did not take it to heart.

This was determined by the strength of the U.S. Navy and Air Force and the industrial system, and Eisenhower did not think that the Germans could do anything to change this disparity in strength.

"We can send the B17 to bomb it!" Eisenhower said: "Although the hit rate of high-altitude bombing is not high, as long as we send enough bombers......

"No, Ike!" Montgomery objected: "What if you blow it up?" The Germans will soon build another such thing in another place, and then we still don't know anything about it! ”

After a pause, Montgomery said, "I think we should hand it over to the British intelligence and at least let them find out what it is!" ”

Eisenhower did not object, because it was true that the British intelligence service was more reliable than the American intelligence network.

The photo soon reached the UK.

Originally, the British intelligence service was not very interested in this thing...... In the eyes of the people of this era, apart from airplanes, warships, tanks, artillery, and other things, what else can show off on the battlefield?

This thing in the photo is obviously not a warship, not a tank, and the artillery is not like it, and the plane can also be excluded...... As a result, the British Intelligence Service concluded that it did not pose much of a threat to the Allies.

But Churchill was overjoyed when he saw the picture.

During this time, he was worried that he could not find an excuse to continue to keep the Allies in North Africa, and these photos that suddenly appeared were like a life-saving straw.

"This should be taken seriously enough!" Churchill took the photograph and said to Menzies: "It may well be some kind of new weapon for the Germans, and if we don't figure out what it is, we will most likely suffer heavy losses on the battlefield, understand?" ”

"Yes, Your Excellency, Prime Minister!" Menzies replied.

Menzies is the head of the British MI6 Service...... The British Intelligence Service is divided into MI5, which is mainly responsible for domestic intelligence security, and MI6, which is mainly responsible for foreign intelligence gathering.

It's just that because Germany launched a blitzkrieg in the early days of the war and took one country after another with lightning speed, the intelligence networks of MI6 in these countries were also destroyed one by one without warning, so that many foreign intelligence work had to be carried out by MI5.

If it weren't for the fact that MI6 has made a great contribution to code-breaking ("super secret" is carried out by MI6), I am afraid that MI6 would have been abolished.

Therefore, after receiving Churchill's order, Menzies immediately mobilized MI6 personnel to investigate the "iron frame" in the photo.
