At 11 o'clock in the afternoon, Basille and others set up a launch stand in a launch position selected by Zhang Chi and hoisted the "Caesar" onto the launch stand to prepare for launch. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Speaking of which, this thing is still quite troublesome, it is large and weighs 2.7 tons, and it can only be filled with fuel before launch, because the fuel is very unstable and corrosive, and it is easy to cause various accidents if it is added too early.

In addition, in order to be able to install it, even a special engineering vehicle was transferred, which is a big target for the enemy, and if it is not for the ultra-long range, it is indeed not of great value on the battlefield...... It is no wonder that countries around the world were not optimistic about the development of such weapons in the first place.

There was still some time before the launch, and Basil once again organized his men to test each device, and even conducted a simulated launch after that.

Zhang Chi praised Basiler's meticulous and serious spirit, and he needed people like him to do scholarship and research!

When everything was ready, Basile reported to Zhang Chi: "General, it's all ready!" ”

"Hmm!" Looking at his watch, Zhang Chi said to Basille: "Permission to launch!" ”

"Yes!"

Then there was the countdown time, which made Zhang Chi feel a bit like he was watching the rocket take off...... But then again, isn't that what rockets developed?

As the time went on, Zhang Chi became a little nervous: If this missile can be successfully launched and accurately hit the target, it should be the first precision-guided weapon in history, and the flaw is that its guidance is done manually. But everything has to be done one step at a time.

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard Basil shout: "Launch!" ”

With a "take-off", the missile was ejected, and almost at the same time, a red flame also came out of the pulse engine at the tail, and then it took off with a "whoosh" and quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.

A few assistants in protective suits went up to clean the launch rack, as mentioned earlier, the fuel is corrosive and toxic, and if not cleaned in time, it could cause an accident.

Zhang Chi turned his gaze to the black-and-white TV...... Its display screen flashed over trees, buildings, and high ground on the ground, and the pilot was steering the wheel carefully adjusting the missile's attitude.

Seeing this, Zhang Chi understood why Basil needed two pilots to take over the operation.

This kind of operation may seem like playing a game, but it is even more difficult than flying a fighter jet...... When flying a fighter, the line of sight is good, and the pilot can more easily judge what condition the plane is in, but there is only one camera on the "Caesar", and it cannot be rotated, and the picture seen is still flat, if it is not for the pilot's rich flight experience, he does not know how to adjust it at all.

While the pilot was maneuvering the missile, an assistant was constantly checking the map, calculating where the missile would advance based on its speed.

If this is done in modern times, it is done by a positioning system...... A bright spot will clearly show where the missile is at the moment.

After about ten minutes, the assistant reported: "Twenty kilometers from the target!" ”

"Slow down!" Basimo ordered.

"Slow down!" The pilot repeated Basimo's instructions and followed with a series of movements.

"Too fast can make it difficult for the controller to identify the target!" Liu Zhenguo, who was standing next to Zhang Chi, explained: "And at this time, the controller should also reduce the height of the missile, if the speed is too fast, the missile will crash directly into the ground or obstacles if you are not careful!" ”

Zhang Chi nodded in understanding, there are many things that seem easy in normal times, but if you change it to a speed of several hundred kilometers per hour...... That's not the case at all.

At this time, I heard the pilot say with a little excitement: "Rails! ”

Sure enough, a railroad track faintly appeared on the TV screen, and it was really not easy to spot it if you didn't look closely...... The missile then followed the railroad tracks, and the critical situation was that a mountain suddenly appeared in front of them, and the rails passed through the tunnel.

Fortunately, the pilot reacted quickly and immediately pulled the missile up and crossed the mountain in danger.

Then, as everyone could see, there was a train station down the hill because there were still several long trains parked there.

"Target found!" The pilot shouted excitedly.

Basille nervously checked the photos, and then ordered: "There is an open space across the two rows of houses, and the warehouse is on the other side of the clearing!" ”

"Yes!"

Then, before Zhang Chi and the others could see what was going on, the image on the display suddenly turned into a pile of snowflakes after a burst of mess.

"Did you hit?" Basile asked.

"I guess it's a hit!" The pilot replied: "I'm not sure, the speed of the missile is still too fast, and I haven't had time to see it clearly!" ”

This is another problem with this missile, the accuracy of guidance with this method is not high, and it is impossible to know whether it even hit the target.

However, Zhang Chi was naturally prepared, he had already arranged scouts in Rome, and all he had to do now was wait.

"It's a cumbersome program, isn't it?" Basille walked over to Zhang Chi and handed him a cigarette.

"Yes!" Zhang Chi said: "And the operation is still very difficult! ”

"So there are a lot of people who are not optimistic about it!" "They say it's better to study a cannon or a tank than to study it!" ”

"What do you think?" Zhang Chi asked: "I heard that you have been persevering!" ”

"Yes!" Basil nodded: "Thanks to your support...... I think that all these cumbersome procedures will eventually be simplified, just as the steam engine was not recognized by others when it was first invented! ”

Zhang Chi nodded, which also shows that Basille is a scientist with foresight and vision...... This is important for a scientist because it determines whether his research is in the right direction.

"General!" At this time, the signal soldier excitedly took the telegram and shouted: "We hit, hit the enemy's ammunition warehouse...... Loud explosions could be heard from the train station for miles! ”

Everyone cheered in an instant, and several scientists hugged each other excitedly.

Only Basil and Zhang Chi did not speak.

Basil may have wondered if the explosion had killed many innocent people.

What Zhang Chi thought about was what aspects should be used to improve this missile so that it could be mass-produced and put into the battlefield.
