Von Braun is not only the inventor of the German V-series missile, but also the developer of the launch vehicle for the first human landing on the moon, and the inventor of the space shuttle.

Qin Chuan was not surprised to see Von Braun, after all, this was a V1 missile, and of course Braun was indispensable in the R&D team, he was just surprised that Braun was still so young.

Thinking about it later, I felt that there was a bit of a fuss, Qin Chuan himself was very young when he was a professor in modern times.

"Captain!" Von Braun and Qin Chuan said as they walked: "The moment the colonel told me his thoughts, I couldn't believe it...... We've been plagued by this problem for so many years, but the solution is so simple, it's a perfect idea to have a pilot go up and try it, Captain! ”

Colonel Conrad interjected, "Professor, that's not what you said when you first heard this suggestion!" ”

Saying that, Colonel Conrad approached Qin Chuan and asked, "Do you want to know what the professor said at that moment?" ”

"What did you say?"

Von Braun began to beg for mercy: "Please, Colonel......"

But Conrad simply ignored von Braun's pleading look and continued, "The professor is angry, yes. He yelled, 'Fuck it, what have we been doing all these years!' Then, he smashed the phone! ”

Conrad laughed as he spoke.

Von Braun spread his hands a little embarrassed: "Forgive me, Captain!" You know, it's hard to invent something that doesn't exist in this world, and sometimes it's simple, but it's important to be able to think of it, like the egg that Columbus erected! ”

This is a story of creativity, and some people say that Columbus's discovery of the New World is nothing, and anyone can find that land as long as they go out to sea by boat.

Columbus held an egg and asked, "Can you erect this egg?" ”

Of course, no one can do that.

Columbus picked up the egg and smashed it on the table, then said to everyone, "Look, it's not a big deal, you can do it, but the point is ...... I'm the first! ”

"Professor!" "I totally agree with that, but I have a feeling...... It doesn't seem difficult for the Captain to do this, he always has ideas that will surprise you but are very practical! The advice on the 'target machine' is just one of them! ”

"I totally believe that!" Von Braun shook Qin Chuan's hand again and said, "So, we believe that our future cooperation will be very pleasant!" ”

Qin Chuan couldn't help but smile embarrassedly, the idea of using pilots to correct the data was actually von Braun's idea, and Qin Chuan just advanced it by two years.

As soon as the researchers arrived at their destination, they began their work.

They chose a place to erect the steel frame...... The steel frame is divided into sections and transported by truck, and then spliced and welded together.

Its length surprised Qin Chuan a little, a total of 48 meters, and it was like a cannon diagonally upward.

Then the scientists installed a piston slot on the launch frame, and a dumbbell-like piston was installed in the piston slot, and it was tested for sliding.

"It's a launcher!" Colonel Conrad said: "Because we are positioned as a cheap equipment that can be produced in large quantities, you know, the most needed thing on the battlefield is this kind of thing that can be produced quickly and in large quantities." Therefore, we chose a pulse engine for the 'target aircraft', which is inexpensive but also has the disadvantage of insufficient thrust, so we have to eject the 'target aircraft', like a slingshot. When the 'target aircraft' flies into the air, the thrust of the pulse engine is enough for it to fly! ”

Qin Chuan nodded in understanding.

In fact, he already knew this before this, but when the real launcher was placed in front of him, he still felt a little shocked...... It is hard to imagine that modern missiles and steam catapults evolved in this way, rudimentary, primitive, but useful.

The researchers worked until the evening, and Qin Chuan originally thought that they should rest at night, but this was not the case...... After dark, they changed a group of people and went up to work.

"We can't afford to waste any time!" Braun, who was wearing a hard hat and had a dark face, explained as he ate bread and nibbled on potatoes: "Because any time we buy can change the outcome of the war!" ”

Qin Chuan couldn't help but be a little stunned when he heard this, he couldn't believe that these words came out of Feng Braun's mouth.

The reason why von Braun was able to become a rocket expert after the war to send humans to the moon was because he found an opportunity to voluntarily surrender to the United States at the end of the war.

But this is understandable for Europeans...... Unable to change the outcome of the war, it is not disgraceful for them to choose to surrender, which is very different from the concept of "it is better to break the jade than to complete it" in the Asian Confucian cultural circles.

"Can we shorten the launcher?" Qin Chuan opened a can of beef and handed it to Von Braun.

"Thank you, Captain!" Von Braun filled his mouth with a spoonful of minced beef, nodded his head and gave a thumbs up to indicate that it tasted good, and replied vaguely: "Of course, as long as the thrust of the catapult is increased, the length of the launch frame can be shortened in stages." But it doesn't make sense, does it? We are looking for an inexpensive piece of equipment that can attack the enemy over a large area! ”

"Yes!" Qin Chuan said: "But you must know, professor, we use it to fight, and a fixed launcher like this can easily be detected by the enemy's reconnaissance planes, and we can't hide when the enemy comes to bomb." And, when our front moves forward or backward...... We have to cut this kind of launcher to take it away, and we have to splice it to another place, which requires a lot of manpower and material resources! ”

Braun couldn't help but look at Qin Chuan in a daze, and said, "What do you mean......"

"I mean, can we get a car launcher!" Qin Chuan replied: "Shorten the launch stand to the length of an extended truck, or design a retractable launch stand so that we can maneuver with the launch stand!" ”

Braun's hand couldn't help but stop, he looked at Qin Chuan, and then at Conrad.

Conrad couldn't help but laugh smugly, and stretched out his hand to Braun: "Mark 10, thank you!" ”

"What 10 marks!" Qin Chuan asked suspiciously.

"I made a bet with the professor!" Conrad explained, "Look at the two of you who is the one who erects the next egg!" ”

"It's not fair!" Qin Chuan said angrily: "There should also be my share!" ”
