Cape Canaveral, June 1955.

A large number of Americans were concentrated on the beach, waiting for the launch to begin.

The rocket has been erected on the newly built large launch pad at Cape Canaveral, which can only launch a manned spacecraft much heavier than a satellite into suborbit at most, which is generally the trajectory of a ballistic missile, so the manned spacecraft can only stay in space for more than ten minutes before falling back to Earth along the trajectory of ballistic flight.

It was in this relatively low-forcing way that the Americans completed the tests of various subsystems of manned spaceflight, and sent the orangutans into space in a smooth manner. Although the Americans are anxious to catch up with Germany's progress in manned spaceflight, they do not know that they are already running much faster than the United States in another time and space.

Of course, Lin Youde's progress is even more comprehensively ahead of another time and space.

There is not only the credit of alchemy, but also the credit of Lin Youde's all-out support for the aerospace industry, as for Lin Youde's ability to play an unpredictable prophet as a traverser to make technicians avoid detours, it is not reflected, because Lin Youde is a dead liberal arts student, and there is no problem in relying on art to draw airplanes to let the scientists at the aviation port taste the sweetness, but he will not be able to do it when he arrives in aerospace.

Therefore, Lin Youde can only increase his investment, let his scientists go through all the detours in advance, and find the right path by himself.

So far, it's working out pretty well.

The United States is not going to do it, the Congress approves money very tightly, and the subcontractors who undertake the various systems have to make a layer of profit among themselves, unlike their German colleagues, who can receive almost unlimited financial support and do not have to endure the exploitation of the capitalists.

The astronauts in the United States are envious of their German counterparts, and they have been struggling for a long time that the manned spacecraft is finally about to be launched, and the German side has announced in a high-profile manner that it is ready to land on the moon.

In order to build momentum for the moon landing, Lin Youde also personally went out to shoot Verne's "Flying to the Moon". Although the original Verne book was used, it was only after the film was released in Europe that European audiences realized that there was a huge difference in aid from Verne.

The real plot blueprint used by Lin Youde is "The Distance of the Moon", Verne's dual-protagonist lineup was changed by Lin Youde to a genius German astronaut scientist and an American scientist who visited Wèn in the name of learning, the two fought openly and secretly in the process of landing on the moon constituted the surface conflict of the entire film, and at the end of the film, the CIA's action was revealed, and the two scientists found themselves in the trap of the CIA, so they joined forces to clean up the CIA agents, and the two story lines of light and dark were also brought together here.

As a work directed by Lin Youde himself, the film unsurprisingly won a box office slam in Europe, although the United States did not release the film because of the obstruction of the non-American committee, but the scientists of the space agency still got the film and screened it internally on the grounds that "the latest advances in German space technology may appear in the film".

The scientists of the US space agency were cold after watching the film, and the technical details that Lin Youde copied from the cartoon that would not be born in 50 years in another time and space have all become evidence that German space technology has been leading the world for more than ten years in the eyes of American scientists.

They didn't know that the German scientists felt similar to them after reading this film, and they all respected Lin Youde, thinking that Mr. Lin must have a deep knowledge in aerospace technology, otherwise how could he make so many technical details that seemed quite realistic and very advanced.

The progress on the German side naturally made the Americans pay special attention to this launch. Since the Spanish-American War, the patriotic spirit of the Americans has gradually increased, and now the emergence of Germany, an old enemy, has greatly strengthened this patriotism.

So much so that the British on this plane also made a joke that was famous in another plane: how many Americans does it take to change a light bulb? The answer is two hundred and one, one of them is changed, and the other two hundred people are chanting USA next to them! USA！

Although it is a bit exaggerated, it does accurately portray the overwhelming patriotism and national pride of Americans. So why do all Hollywood triple-A blockbusters have such a main theme, and you can see the Stars and Stripes everywhere? Because the main body of the audience is the patriotic masses. It's like an ancient civilization, patriotism will be beaten by traitors, traitors are so arrogant, the country is still maintaining stability and mud, this Qing Dynasty is afraid that it is a pill.

Interestingly, Lin Youde originally thought that the outcome of World War II would be different from that of another time and space, and that Americans' patriotism and national pride would not be as strong as that of another time and space, but so far it seems that nothing like this has happened.

Now the proud American people are waiting for the launch of their country's first manned spacecraft.

"Attention departments, start the final testing procedure."

As the announcement sounded, Will the Engineer took a deep breath.

"I'm really sorry." He muttered in a low voice, "May God forgive me for my sins." ”

While praying like this, the smiles of his family swept over his mind. Will was born in a family that was not wealthy, lived in a conquest of public apartments, and throughout his middle school years, Will has been careful to keep this secret, in order to keep it a secret in high school, he deliberately took a school far away from his home, and got up at four or five o'clock every morning to hitchhike to school.

But in the end, Will's residence was discovered, and as a result, the whole high school years became a disaster, helping those children from middle-class or even wealthy families to do their homework has become commonplace, and from time to time he is sent to run errands, which is used as a joke to make girls laugh. Will's high school years are a nightmare that he can't look back on, after graduation, he joined the army, participated in World War II, and finally survived, relying on the benefits of being discharged from the army, he finally had the money to go to college, I thought that Yiqiē would get better like this, and the damn McCarthy came.

McCarthyists seem to believe that all poor people are potential panhumanists, so Will's younger brother and sister are once again ostracized and bullied at school, the younger brother has to drop out of school early and become an apprentice in a shoe factory, and the younger sister is even worse, and after graduation she may not even find a job, and if she is unlucky, she will have to go to the red light district.

In this country, the poor can only ****, no wonder the workers' movement rises and falls, no wonder panhumanism can be like a prairie fire.

The only thing that comforted Will was that he was a white-skinned man, and if he were black, he probably wouldn't even get the decent job of an engineer, and the family now lived in a dilapidated house in the black neighborhood of Chicago or Boston, which was even smaller than a communal apartment, and the young people of the family mingled with the black gangsters every day.

In that case, maybe Will would have been ruined by the "anesthetic" by now.

While Will is not impressed by the idealistic rhetoric of panhumanism, he also feels that the country is in need of a seismic change.

What's more, if you help the pan-humanists, your own family will be sent abroad, and Will's sister as a "deposit" has already left the United States to board a ship bound for North Africa, where she will change ships bound for Italy. People in contact with Will claimed that an organization called the Social Welfare Foundation would provide work for Will's family in Italy, as well as a sum of money to pay for their resettlement when they first arrived in Italy.

Will didn't know what the social welfare foundation was, and he didn't dare to inquire, now the United States is full of non-American commissions and the FBI, and Will, as an engineer in a classified aerospace project, if they knew that he was inquiring about a suspicious agency in Germany, it would not be enough to sign a loyalty agreement.

Moreover, Weir estimates that the social welfare foundation has some ties to Germany's intelligence services. (There is no network in this time and space, and the news is relatively closed, not everyone knows that the Social Welfare Foundation is actually a spy agency led by a fox - Egg Pain Star Note)

In short, Will had a solid reason to help the Germans.

"I'm not a traitor, this qiē was forced out." Will whispered, and as he quickly removed one of the electrodes he was responsible for, turned around and put it back on.

Okay, that's done, Will is the final inspector, no one will find out about this small problem, but this small problem is enough to make the rocket launch fail. Will was well aware of the operation of this part of the system he was responsible for, and he would not notice that there was a problem until the rocket ignition control room, but then the ignited rocket would bang and explode into a huge fireball as it ascended.

If luck is good, it will take a year and a half for the space agency to investigate before the cause of the accident can be determined, and by then Will will have long since flown away.

If you're unlucky, you'll have a lot of debris left with the rocket, and the investigation time will be reduced to a few months, but Will still has time to escape.

The worst case scenario is that the FBI detains all the aerospace engineers who have relatives who have left the United States. But the Germans had promised that they would be responsible for sending Will's family out of the country if the rocket launch failed, and neither the FBI nor the American Commission could stop them from fulfilling their promise.

Will decided to trust them, and in fact he had to trust them when he decided to participate in the program.

The bell informing the engineers to retreat from the rocket launcher drilled into Will's ears.

Will stood up, picked up his toolbox and ran to join his fellow evacuees.

When he joined the queue, Benjamin, who was numbered behind him, said, "This launch is over, I must go and enjoy the Florida sand and sun." It's unbelievable that we're so close to the beach sun, and a year has passed and we haven't enjoyed this perk once! Will you come along, Will? ”

"Ah, well, okay." Will vaguely responded, and at the same time said sorry to Benjamin inwardly, because his expectations were probably going to be in vain.
