The first section of the rocket has been said to have exited the atmosphere, and the second stage rocket has detached.

The second stage of the rocket spewed a long tail flame, and the rocket continued to accelerate, and soon disappeared into the area of the telescope, it was too fast, and the telescope did not keep up. The seemingly abandoned first thruster didn't stop, it was accelerating, just a lot slower.

Von Kármán left the telescope, a rocket launched by the Chinese that was already able to rush out of the Earth. This made him very disappointed. Originally, he thought he was ahead of the world, but in fact he was not. In 1936, when the Western scientific community was generally skeptical of rocket propulsion, von Kármán supported his students in their research on the subject. In 1938, von. Carmen directed the United States in conducting the first supersonic wind tunnel tests and invented jet-boosted takeoff.

But how did the Chinese keep the rocket moving forward after it was disengaged, apparently following a designed orbit? If they use radio communication to control it, then how does this control system work? Moreover, the four satellites in the universe have also adjusted their positions in a similar way.

Von Kármán was puzzled.

The only explanation is that China invented machinery capable of excitating calculations. And put it on a rocket. Athanasov had secretly told him about his intention to create an electron tube instead of a mechanical computer. And this is probably the only way to solve the problem of calculations on a rocket. Because there can be no power on the rocket to drive the calculation. It can only be electricity.

But even if there is electricity, who will operate the computer to do the calculations? Who will control the rocket?

Athanasov kept his ideas and designs strictly secret. Von Kármán was a gentleman. He wouldn't want to try to build the same machine, but he did need a computer.

"Professor, Chinese. With one rocket, three satellites were launched. And they all seem to have succeeded, with little to no adjustment. "A student came running from another telescope."

"Where are these three satellites?"

"One is over the United States, one is in the Pacific Ocean, and one is near the government in Guangzhou."

"That means there are at least two satellites over the United States?" Von Kármán asked.

"Yes, but there are at least four around Japan. Two in China itself, and one in the USSR. ”

"You're wrong. Japan did not have one, it should have been two for the United States and three for the Soviet Union. Two in China. The Chinese are building a space surveillance network. ”

"You're saying China will launch satellites?"

"Yes, it's said that what they spread out is called a solar panel. Some Chinese have this kind of thing on their roofs. I've got someone to get a piece, and we're going to take a look. ”

"Professor, we've seen it. It is a plate of quartz and graphite pressed together. But it's flat, there's no water to collect heat, what do they rely on to generate electricity? ”

"The Chinese are cunning, they give us a lot of camouflage for the bulletproof vests, but only one compound in its role. I thought it might be their trick to lead us in the wrong direction. The cars that the Chinese have provided us with are exquisitely made, but they are all technologies that we are already using. It's just a lot of ghosts in the material. ”

"How do you think the Chinese use solar energy to make discoveries?" Von Kármán asked

"I've seen the Chinese Xinmin Daily say very cryptically that it can drive a generator by circulating after heating with sealed water. Black reflector with the sun shining directly in space. This effect can be achieved. We experimented with one of these devices and found it to work. It's just that the power generation is low. ”

Von Kármán laughed, "It's not a problem. The question is how do they get the signal back. How to interpret it. ”

"They have a circular radar that if we have enough power, we can use the radar to scan the range point by point, and only send back the numeric code. Then, through calculations, the effect of measurement can be achieved. You know that terrain is very important for the military. ”

Von Kármán shook his head: "I don't think it's that simple, but what you say makes sense." ”

"Has the Admiralty decided to allocate funds to us for rocket research?"

"Yes, Germany and the USSR, Great Britain, France all allocated funds for research on rocket propulsion technology, and the Germans allocated the most money. However, the military department believes that it is impossible to carry out research on rockets and jet aircraft at the same time, and we can only guarantee the same at present. ”

Feng Kármán was stunned for a moment and sighed: "Let's protect the plane first." ”

Japan, Nagoya and Osaka are falling, because helicopters from the Chinese Army have arrived. This steel monster that deliberately flew in the air tore the heavy tanks that the Japanese army had worked so hard to build.

Such an aircraft is capable of flying almost close to the treetops, and the rifle cannot penetrate the armor. The hive-like cannons of the aircraft can easily destroy tanks and fortifications. Even heavy artillery groups could not be avoided.

The Chinese low and low ironclad cars also appeared on the battlefield, because they were low and had a small sound, and they were often found very close to the front of the position, and the power of the rockets on it was very large, and a rocket could often destroy fortifications within a range of half a kilometer, and the personnel inside were naturally not spared.

Due to the lack of food, the Japanese troops who held out in Nagoya even began to eat human flesh. Most of the Japanese, who were unwilling to surrender and did not want to hold out, had already been picked up by American warships in Kamchatka.

Many Japanese civilians surrendered and went to the mountains and countryside under Chinese rule.

It is said that many were deported to Chinese mainland as slaves, and the Japanese troops who remained behind were very frightened.

Hikaru Maeda is one of them. The Japanese Army was already finished, and was disbanded by the acting mayor of Nagoya, Shoichi Nakamura, because the army refused to distribute food regardless of the lives of the common people for the sake of war.

However, even though the newly established Self-Defense Forces distributed food, they were still unable to keep people to stay and fight the war.

The radio sounded in Zlazra, and since March there has been no more voice from the military headquarters or the emperor. In the city, there are a lot of military supplies, and batteries are easy to find. But I just couldn't find food.

"There is no news, could it be that the military headquarters has also fallen? Even the Chinese do not have any radio signals. Kikuchi nervously debugged the radio.

"The Chinese don't have radio at all, they're barbarians." Maeda lay on the street, staring blankly at the sky.

"It's cherry blossom season, isn't it?" Maruyama Ichiro is also in the same posture as Maeda, and the posture is full of fantasy.

March to April is indeed the season of cherry blossoms in Japan, but it is difficult to see cherry blossoms in Nagoya City. Most of the houses in Nagoya are wooden framed houses, and during a civil unrest, someone set fires, which resulted in fires that burned for several days and nights because there were not enough people to put out the fires. Now most of the city is in ruins. Only modern architecture remains in the heart of the city.

Nagoya is a city of one million people, and at one point the number of people reached 2 million when war broke out. At that time, the Japanese thought that Nagoya could be used as a city to bury Chinese. But now Maeda hardly sees the Chinese, and every day it is his own people who burn and loot,

"Amaterasu has left us, and even the artifacts in Atsuta Shrine have been taken away. Those Americans said they could bring it to the emperor, but who knows. That's an artifact. Maeda closed his eyes, he originally liked to be neat, but he was still slightly chubby, and his beard was not taken care of.

"Why didn't the Chinese come in? So that I can die with dignity. Why didn't they break in. Now even the bombing has stopped. These mean Chinese, cowardly cowards. Maruyama said quietly.

"Because there's nothing left to bomb. Now our arsenal can't even make a single bullet. Damn the Chinese never come. Kikuchi smiled happily. He raised his gun and fired a shot into the sky.

Gunfire erupted all around. But after a while, it was stopped by a lot of shouting and scolding.

Kikuchi laughed maniacally: "Listen, these people have become nervous rabbits, and a single gunshot can make them kill each other." ”

Maeda closed his eyes, slowly raised the pistol in his hand, and shot himself in the temple. And Kikuchi just watched from the sidelines and didn't stop it. Soon, Maruyama also shot himself in the temple.

Kikuchi held up his radio: "Amaterasu, let's have some information." Give your subjects a glimmer of hope. ”

Several gendarmes ran over and smashed the butt of their guns on his head: "Bastard, is it not the gun you put it." A lot of people died because of it. ”

Kikuchi fell to the ground, his face was covered with blood, and he laughed strangely: "Die, all dead, you don't see it, they are all dead, the former warriors fell under their own guns." (To be continued......)
