Chapter 1564: The magnificent launch scene

The first German computer, also the first in the world, still used paper belts to input and output data, which led to inefficiency. As a result, Cialek proposed a new way to design a solidified compiler and use mnemonics to replace machine instructions, which greatly increased the operation efficiency.

The input device is replaced with a keyboard, which allows for quick input.

At the same time, after the first one was made, Germany began its first computer construction peak, and it was needed in many places. Braun should use it for researching rockets, Dr. Messerchmitt should use it for researching jets, and nuclear weapons institutions should use it.

The missile launch base here can be allocated to one, which was also after Cialek's instructions.

At this time, the operator quickly pressed his hand onto the keyboard and entered a few commands. The huge computer began to enter high-speed operation and calculate the shooting elements.

The shooting of short-range missiles is only a few hundred kilometers, and it is enough to use the earth as the coordinate system. However, it is different to launch medium-range missiles. If you lose a slight mistake, you must consider the rotation of the earth and the wind speed of the launch site. Launching from high latitude to low latitude must also take into account the different velocities of different latitudes.

At this time, relying on mechanical calculators is absolutely not enough, only such electronic computers can do it.

While the electronic computer is calculating the shooting elements, the preparations before launch are in full swing on the launch position.

After the fuel is filled, sealing inspection is carried out. The system of each part of the bomb load enters self-test. The gyro is ready to start and the fuel pump starts to discharge air. Everything is going on. The rigorous Germans are very serious when conducting these experiments.

"The computer has completed the ballistic solution." At this moment, the buzzing sound of the huge computer system disappeared, and commands appeared on the terminal's screen.

"Assigned to each launch silo and bound into the missile system."

Time passed by little by little. At this time, it was already eleven o'clock in the evening in Iceland. The night in Iceland was slowly coming.

The sun slid to the sea level in the west, but soon it would rise from the east again. Although it was not as good as the absolute polar day in the Arctic Circle, the real night would not exceed two hours, and it was not completely black, and it was always a gray feeling.

All preparations have been completed.

"Silo 1 is ready."

"Silo 2 is ready."



When the report of the silo 20 was completed, Colonel Dornberg looked at the clock on the wall, and at 11:15.

"The launch begins!" said Colonel Dornberg, "Let the Americans tremble and let them know that in front of our 14th, any city is unguarded!"

Launch begins!

Following Colonel Dornberg's order, a launcher pressed his hand hard to the launch button on the operating table.

Silo 1.

At the three conical engine nozzles, streams of white gas suddenly appeared, which was the rapid gasification of nitric acid. Then, with the sound of the fuel pump, dimethylhydrazine was injected into the combustion chamber of the rocket engine and quickly burned.

The hot air flow came out from the nozzle at the tail and quickly discharged to the outside along the diversion trough. The entire launch silo was covered by a stream of white smoke.

In the white smoke, the silo began to shake regularly, becoming more and more violent, like a dragon coming out of the silo, a milky white V-4 improved missile jumped out of the silo.

When it left the silo, its speed was not fast enough to even escape from the white smoke, rising slowly among the white smoke, just like a fairy.

Then, its speed began to get faster and faster. It pushed away the white smoke and flew towards it. At its tail, a hot fire light came out. Outside the fire light, there was gray smoke and dust, which spread out quickly, becoming wider and wider, just like a pillar of air rising upwards.

It's like the big chimneys after the earth entered the industrial age.

There is more than just a smoke column.

Twenty silos were almost launched together. The missiles all rose up with a gray smoke column. The smoke column spread rapidly, wide below and narrow above. As the rocket climbed, the smoke column continued to lengthen.

This scene looks extremely magnificent.

At this time, the sunset was spreading the last ray of sunshine on the horizon. Due to the obstruction of the surrounding mountains, the launch site had darkened. In everyone's eyes, they only saw the huge columns of smoke.

"What a nice view!"

If the warhead carries nuclear weapons, the launch of such missiles will be the end of the world. Now, the warhead carries just conventional warheads.

No one witnessed all this, only the officers and soldiers of Unit No. 14 serving here were extremely happy to watch the missiles they released flew out.

"Cleaning the silo, eight hours later, the next missile is loaded." Colonel Dornberg continued to issue the order, and they had no time to delay.

At this time, the missiles launched had climbed rapidly, and soon exceeded the speed of sound and continued to climb.

A large radar on the top of the base mountain was closely monitored. The missiles threw away the burning lower stage. After separation, the upper stage continued to ignite and accelerate.

When it came out of the atmosphere, its speed had exceeded Mach 10. Then, it drew a beautiful arc in the sky and began to turn southwest.

When the rocket's engine stops operating, it will fly completely in ballistics, no difference from a flying shell. It is completely relied on accurate calculation of the ballistics in advance to fly.

The missile-loaded gyro monitors the flight status of the missile warhead, and the half-ton warhead travels in outer space.

At this time, the target was still unknown and there was no defense.

Newport News Shipyard.

When the war came, the isolationism that had prevailed in the United States since World War I had disappeared. Americans already knew that the ultimate goal of the Germans would be the United States. If they failed, freedom and democracy would leave this land.

They are all preparing for war.

The shipyards are constantly working day and night, and workers work overtime, and many people work more than 12 hours. At this time, the union is silent.
