Engaging in sounding rockets is not only a problem of capital and technology, but more terrifying, it will cost lives at any time!

Many designers risked their lives in order to research advanced rockets, and the most famous accident was probably the world's worst missile explosion in 1960. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

How tragic? The commander of the Soviet missile forces who was present? He? Marshal Nederin was killed on the spot, and all 160 Soviet cosmonautical scientists on the launch pad were killed, leaving all living things on the site, leaving only coins and keys!

The rocket engine of the missile needs the most advanced fuel and oxidizer, which can be burned stably, and can provide a steady stream of power, if it cannot be burned stably, it will explode!

Moreover, the most helpless thing is that inside the rocket engine, there is a complex gas and liquid space, and in many cases, it cannot be calculated using various theoretical formulas, and can only be determined through actual experiments!

Therefore, the rocket engine can only be finalized by continuous experiments, and I don't know how many failures it has to experience before it can succeed! And now, in the early days of the rocket, everything is even more groping!

And now, when Ciric and his party had just arrived, they saw a fire burst out of the humble room over there!

"Quick, put out the fire!" At this time, Ciric didn't even think about any possible explosion, he only knew that his mission this time was to find Professor Goddard, if he let this professor burn to death here, he would come in vain, and without Professor Goddard, the German missile would definitely have to be delayed for a long time before it appeared!

Fire!

The fire was so fierce that it was only smoking, and when Ciric rushed over, the raging fire was about to start!

What to do? What to do?

When Ciric saw a large water tank next to him, he immediately used a bucket of water from it, poured it on his body, drenched his whole body, and then, gritted his teeth, and rushed inside!

The wooden door was kicked open by Ciric, and in the thick smoke, it could be seen that several people fell to the ground, one of which was an old man, quite eye-catching.

Goddard!

The fire was fierce, and Ciric felt that the moisture on his body was rapidly evaporating, and it wouldn't be long before he would be burning here!

"Professor, Professor!" Ciric shouted, and then, as quickly as he ran to the Professor's side, he grabbed the Professor and was about to carry it on his shoulder.

At this time, Graff and several others had already rushed in, and they all picked up the others and brought them out together.

On the head, there is a smell of burning, I'm afraid that the hair on my head has been baked!

Fortunately, several people have been rescued, and in the open space outside, Shirek and the others gasped, watching Goddard and the others slowly wake up.

"Who are you?" After Goddard woke up, he looked at Shirek and the others and asked.

When he turned his head and saw the burning workshop, Goddard's eyes instantly widened and he shouted, "No, no! ”

He struggled to get up and put out the fire in his workshop, and the expression on his face was quite painful.

That workshop is all he has!

"No, Professor, you can't go!" Ciric grabbed Goddard tightly and said, "There, there's no help. ”

"No, let go of me, let go of me!" At this time, Goddard was like a stubborn child.

Goddard didn't move in the end.

The house has burned down!

Kneeling on the ground, Goddard's body trembled constantly, and at this time, his heart was extremely painful.

Just now, while testing the new fuel, there was a fire! Burn everything he had! Now, it's incredibly difficult to raise funds, and it's really hard to start experimenting again!

Now Goddard is fifty years old, and the poor life that has been displaced makes Goddard look even older, and this failure is a heavy blow!

Now Goddard is quite miserable, and he doesn't know if he can still bear it, whether he can find enough money to re-establish the laboratory and continue to start experiments.

Goddard's eyes were blurry, and he seemed to see his childhood, when he looked at the bright moon, and he kept thinking, why can't he go up? Yes, you have to go up yourself!

By what? Rockets, of course!

Being ridiculed by others as being a moonman, Goddard is not sad, because he really wants to be a moonman!

But now? It's all over!

"Professor, please don't be sad, we are quite interested in sounding rockets, perhaps, we can talk about our cooperation, introduce, my name is Ciric, from Germany." Ciric held out his hand.

Ciric? The name, which seems somewhat familiar? Professor Goddard stretched out his hand and shook it with the other party, and at the same time, he also glanced at the other party, the end of the other party's hair was already scorched, and his whole body was soaked, just now, if it weren't for these people in front of him, he would probably be burned to death inside!

"Thank you so much for saving me, you are from Germany? So how do you work together? Goddard asked.

"We firmly believe that sounding rockets are a correct direction of development, we plan to initially invest 1 million marks in the development of the project, as start-up funds, to establish a modern rocket test site, hire you as the chief designer, at the same time, in order to facilitate the launch of rockets, we will find an open area in North Africa, no man's land, so that when launching rockets, will not be affected in any way, I don't know what you think?"

1,000,000 marks! Professor Goddard's largest fund was the $50,000 raised by Hughes! If there were 1 million marks, Goddard's research could be expanded quickly!

He has to test the ratio of various fuels, he has to test various ways of engines, and he needs all kinds of advanced materials and processing equipment, all of which require capital investment!

Moreover, this 1 million marks is the upfront cost! More funds will be added in the future!

"Your manpower is also seriously insufficient, we plan to draw a part of the domestic scientific research personnel, people who love the aerospace industry, join your team, research together, our dream is to be able to see the day when we are still alive to land on the moon." Ciric said to Goddard.

What the hell did it take to care about that day, what good things on the moon were worth nostalgia for? What I am most concerned about is when we will be able to build an intercontinental missile that will directly hit the United States!

Goddard's eyes slowly flashed with new hope, he looked at the still burning workshop, and said to Ciric, "Okay, I'm willing to go with you." ”
