Chapter 1012 1012 XCOM is really going to be a sequel

While Lin Youde travels around the world, his vast empire is being managed by Ysera, methodically moving towards his goal.

November 1, 1946, Potsdam suburb Rocket Center.

"The nineteenth engine is real, and the fifteen-minute countdown."

The voice of the real yàn sounded over the loudspeaker. And at this time, the director of the Rocket Center, Feng? Braun Zhenghe Center's deputy director Feng ? Carmen whispered.

"My group recently took in a group of Chinese students," said Feng? Carmen said to an old friend, "There's a pretty good one in it, and I think he'll do it in the future." ”

Feng? Braun just nodded: "Do you mean that 'money', I have read the report he submitted, and his future is worth looking forward to." ”

Speaking of which, "Feng? Carmen's eyes turned to the rocket engine fixed on the pedestal in the central factory building, "In the past, our real engine was directly loaded on the rocket once, but now we have to make a ground real ......."

"Direct launch is actually not conducive to collecting the specific operating numbers of the engine, for example, the operating temperature of each part is not completely recorded, after all, there are too few sensors on the rocket, and the rocket will often break after falling to the ground."

Before von Braun could finish his sentence, a researcher walked up to him and whispered, "Her Royal Highness the Princess has come to inspect." ”

"Which one?"

"A few people from Potsdam have come."

The princess is the pronoun of Lin Youde's daughter by the people who work for Lin Youde, and only those attendants and personal guards who often come into contact with Lin Youde's family will use the title of Miss. Although it has been more than fifteen years since the end of the German monarchy, some things about the imperial era are still deeply rooted in the hearts of the masses. What's more, Lin Youde's daughters are all goddesses (the public doesn't know that Ysera is also a goddess, but they seem to have selectively forgotten this), and in the past hundreds of years, no matter where they are born, as long as they are gods, they must be Prussian princesses, so everyone is happy to continue this title.

Dr. Braun pressed the start button on the microphone in front of him, and the microphone said, "Pause the countdown." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Ysera took a few of her younger sisters into the main control room of the real yàn center.

Feng? Dr. Braun was the first to stand up and face Ysera, standing straight with his head held high. Immediately after that, the entire staff in the main control room stood up and saluted Ysera in a standard military stance.

Unlike the group of guys from all over the world at the Institute of Theoretical Physics, many of the backbones of the rocket research center are nobles from the former German Empire, and von Braun himself was born in a traditional East Prussian aristocratic family, although he chose to become a rocket scientist, but he still has the behavior of the Junker aristocracy in his bones. A Hungarian-born Jew von? Carmen was less familiar with the rules of the army, but he did his best to stand up straight and salute Ysera.

Lin's eldest daughter wore a men's stand-up collar jacket today, and the slender **** was also wrapped in suit trousers, and she put her long hair back in her head, which together with her clothes highlighted her shrewdness and ability.

"Your Highness......" Von Braun said without paying attention as soon as he opened his mouth, and quickly corrected, "Miss, we are preparing for the nineteenth engine ground injection, do you have any instructions for coming?" ”

"No, I'm just here to see the rocket engine, after all, it's the project that my dad cares about the most. Looking at the report, the effect of the first few real yàn was not ideal. ”

"Yes, but we've found the reason, and this time the real yàn will definitely improve."

Ysera nodded, and then found a seat in the viewing table.

"Don't worry about us," Nia sat down behind her sister, and as soon as she sat down, she crossed her legs and waved her hand to everyone in the rocket center, "Actually, my sister just handled too many official documents and wanted to change her mood, so she only temporarily wanted to take a look today." ”

"If you don't speak, no one will treat you like a dumb person." Ysera shook her sister coldly.

"Okay, okay, I'll shut up, I'll shut up." Nia raised her hands in a gesture of surrender.

At this time, Lilith, the third daughter of the Lin family, also came to sit down beside her sisters, and waved her hand to the scientific researchers in the main control room: "Come on, everyone." ”

Unlike Yan Sù's eldest sister and Hang'er Langdang's second sister, the third princess has a very dignified and beautiful temperament, and her feminine charm is much higher than that of her two sisters. This is probably caused by Lilith's perennial performance with Lydia, who is the most aristocratic lady in Lin Youde's harem.

Among the young researchers, the third daughter, Lilith, is quite popular, and many of them have their records and posters. Interestingly, many people seem to forget that Lilith is Sissi's daughter, and instead think of her as Lydia's daughter, who is also active in front of the public as a singer.

Lilith and Lydia's survival has made many young people consider joining the Lin company and working in Potsdam as their life goal.

After the three princesses were seated, von Braun took the lead in turning around and making a gesture to the technicians behind him to sit down, and everyone in the main control room returned to their posts.

Braun turned on the microphone in front of him again: "Miss Ysera, Miss Nia, and Miss Lilith are now inspecting our work, please be more serious. Let's start the countdown again. ”

"Ten minutes countdown." The announcer's voice was heard on the radio.

Von Kármán leaned his head over and whispered to von Braun, "Could it be that Mr. Lin is not satisfied with the recent lag in progress?" ”

"Probably, it's true that we've been a little behind lately. But today's reality is that we have been preparing for so long, and it won't go wrong. ”

"I hope that big guy on the pedestal will fight for some air." Von Kármán smacked his lips, "Even if something goes wrong, don't explode or something." ”

Three months ago, a rocket engine exploded, causing nearly 100 casualties, and von Braun himself was scratched on the cheek by shattered glass.

Shallow scratches can still be seen on Braun's face.

"I don't want to have that much blood anymore." Braun said to von Kármán, "That feels bad. ”

"The soldiers on the battlefield have to see blood every day, how can you, a Junker nobleman, be afraid of bloodshed."

"I studied very hard when I was a child, but what about the outliers in the Junker aristocracy, fortunately, my father was also an outlier, and he studied agriculture seriously. Everyone told him that after becoming the Minister of Agriculture of the Empire, he only had to think about how to protect the interests of the Junker landlords, but he began to rectify agricultural production in earnest. "Feng? Braun couldn't help but smile as he thought back to his father, "I remember my father never touching a sword at all. ”

"That's really an anomaly." Von Kármán nodded in agreement, he paused, and continued, "You say, if it weren't for Lin Youde, an outlier from the East, to intervene, what would happen to Germany now? ”

"Who knows, maybe it's the same as the one in 1914, and then be beaten and lose your armor." Von Braun very much agrees with Lin Youde's statement that "war cannot be avoided", according to which the war at the end of the 30s will inevitably happen, which cannot be prevented by human power, and human beings can only change the form of war.

Von Kármán, of course, knew his old friend's opinion, and he was silent for a moment before he said: "Maybe it will really be like that, after all, Germany has always advocated offensive and preventive war." ”

"So we're probably lucky," von Braun whispered, "but in contrast to that luck, we have to accept an uncrowned king from China." Personally, I don't have a problem with that, but my neighbors in my hometown don't think so, especially those who have been sent to labor camps. ”

"The countdown is five minutes." The announcer's announcement was heard again on the radio.

Von Kármán's voice was muffled by a short segment of the countdown announcement, and von Braun heard only the second half: "...... Ji, no one can resist the Lin family, everyone knows this. ”

"Yes," Braun replied after speculating about his old friend's meaning, "Mr. Lin can gather the gods into his own family, even if he only gathers those gods who should have been born in the first place, this is a very terrifying power. Because it means that there will never be a god in the land of Germany who may stand on the opposite side of the Lin clan. ”

"Actually, I think Mr. Lin lacks a son." Feng Carmen held his chin, "Even if the Lin family can gather the Divine Ji now, once Mr. Lin passes away, this gathering will stop." But if he had a son, that guy might have the same qualities of gathering gods. Thus, the Kamihime family, which has never been seen before in human history, was born. ”

The way of the birth of the god her, so that they have not been able to establish a stable system of rule and succession, although the god can be adopted by the god to be born, in order to replace, but in the past when the communication was extremely underdeveloped, the efficiency of this adoption is quite low, often when the god is discovered by the ruling group, it has grown up in the people for a long time, has formed its own cognitive system - the god is still growing very fast, Therefore, ancient rulers often found themselves suddenly confronted with uprisings led by gods who had grown up among the people, and those who were adopted may have had a view that was not so in tune with the rulers because of their childhood experiences in the people.

It was only in modern times that the efficiency of such adoptions increased, and countries like Britain that had been ruled by gods for generations appeared in Europe.

But if Lin Youde can inherit his physique of "gathering gods", then maybe......

"One minute countdown."

Feng? Braun put away his thoughts and focused his attention on the reality in front of him. R1148
