Chapter 449: Large Rocket Research Base
On Monday, August 6, 1945 (the 29th day of the sixth lunar month), at 8 a.m., three B-29 US aircraft entered the sky above Hiroshima from a high altitude, one of which was called "Enora Guy"; it launched an air strike on Hiroshima, Japan, and dropped an atomic bomb code-named "Little Boy", which exploded in the air 600 meters above the ground.
Soon, the little boy atomic bomb was shocking, emitting a dazzling and strong white flash and exploded. In the midst of the huge explosion that shook the sky, a huge mushroom cloud that soared into the sky was formed in the city, which was thrilling and shocking.
Then, the entire Hiroshima, Japan was burned into a sea of fire and ruins by hundreds of pillars of fire.
After that, about 300,000 people in Hiroshima, Japan, more than 110,000 people died on the spot, and the city was bombed in an instant and became a terrible desolate ruin. In the five years after the war, there were about 100,000 survivors who died of sequelae caused by radiation, such as cancer, leukemia and skin burns, and other major and painful diseases.
Then on August 9, 1945 (Showa 20), at 11:02 am local time in Japan; however, the B-29 aircraft "Boke Car" driven by the 509th Mixed Brigade, "Boke Car", dropped a "fat" atomic bomb on Nagasaki at 10:58.
The bomb droppers at that time included Theodore van Kirk, Frederick Ashworth, and Morris Jepsen. When the "Fatty" atomic bomb was detonated, the strong dazzling flash caused by the atomic bomb, the deafening huge sound waves, and the mushroom-like clouds that erupted from the explosion appeared, and the explosion produced the mushroom-like smoke that ejected countless white smoke rings, and the entire Nagasaki city was trapped in the sky with flames and the half-ruins of thick smoke rolling, which was shocking.
Then on March 1, 1954, the United States successfully detonated the world's first hydrogen bomb on the Bikinis Reef in the Pacific Ocean. Its explosion was hundreds of times stronger than the atomic bombs that destroyed Hiroshima, Japan and Nagasaki in 1945.
The first atomic bomb of the Soviet Union, "pumpkin", was successfully detonated on August 29, 1949 at the "Mishkwa" experimental base in Semiy in Kazakhstan, Central Asia.
After that, on August 12, 1953, the Soviet Union successfully detonated their first hydrogen bomb at the Shemipalatinsk test site in the territory of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
In other words, both the United States and the Soviet Union successfully developed and produced atomic bombs and two super lethal weapons and equipment in the 1940s and 1950s.
Therefore, Chen Yanlong also attaches great importance to the research and development of atomic bombs and hydrogen bombs.
Of course, the research and development and improvement of missiles are also one of the scientific and technological research projects that Chen Yanlong attaches great importance to.
So after dispatching some advanced weapons and equipment to Rommel with his mobile phone, he immediately came to the Penemide Large Rocket Research Center on Utherdom Island in northeastern Germany.
Utherdom Island is located east of the Baltic Sea, and there are several large bridges that can be connected to the mainland, making the transportation very convenient.
Penemide is built on a forest, swamp and silt land, which allows people who like to conduct research in a quiet environment to concentrate on developing their scientific research products.
However, at this moment, the entire Utherdom Island has been built into a large rocket research center area by Chen Yanlong.
In addition, an airport is built nearby, with 350 TA152 fighter jets parked and 100 pilots to protect the air safety here to prevent air strikes from British and American air forces. In addition, a large number of anti-aircraft weapons and anti-aircraft guns were deployed.
In addition, Chen Yanlong also deployed some small ships in the nearby river area, and two mechanized infantry regiments with very well-equipped weapons and equipment on the island; as well as a 120-person special forces stationed and an artillery regiment to defend the safety here.
Moreover, the research center here has been completely transferred underground to conduct secret research and production.
Because in this way, even if the entire Utherdom Island and Penemide were unfortunately bombed and attacked by the British and American Allies, it would not cause devastating casualties and losses on the island's rocket missile research materials, natural resources, as well as data and scientific researchers.
However, in addition to Utherdom Island, Chen Yanlong now has a research base for large rocket missiles and Penemide; he also established a V2 missile production and production base near Nordhausen in Thuringia, Germany, where more than 15,000 workers are over 15,000; and he also has a large number of independent assembly workshops and 50,000 prison uniforms, which will be produced day and night.
For this reason, the v2 missile production base and factories here can produce more than 50 v2 missiles a day.
Moreover, Chen Yanlong has dispatched a large number of industry experts in the fields of rockets, engines, control and aviation to study more advanced and perfect rocket test bases, rocket engine process technology production, rocket warhead construction technology, wireless circuit board development technology, engine control circuit technology, as well as rocket launch parameters, solid fuel, and rocket missile production methods such as ethanol and liquid oxygen as fuel.
"Hi! Hitler!"
When Chen Yanlong arrived at Penet Mingde, the German officers and soldiers guarding outside the test base immediately raised their right hand 45 degrees to Chen Yanlong, and raised their fingers together to greet the standard Nazi military salute, with a loud voice.
Chen Yanlong also raised his right arm upwards and returned the favor, and then entered the test base under the protection of his own guard.
Because he knew very well that 'Hi! Hitler!' means "the German people and their interests are above everything else", and of course some people say it means "God blessed--Hitler" or "Long live Hitler".
Because the original meaning of heil in German is to bless others with "health, safety, and happiness", and the extended meaning is to express blessings.
At this time, German rocket expert Dr. Waynech von Braun, and more than 500 rocket experts, including German rocket expert Dr. Hermann Obert, were also there; their team of scientific researchers came over to welcome Chen Yanlong's arrival sincerely and happily with a smile.
Because Chen Yanlong's personal welfare has recently exceeded the expectations of these rocket researchers; not only did they get sufficient resources and materials for research and production, but their salary has also doubled, and there are also various scientific research bonuses for them to develop and compete for them to obtain, as well as year-end dividends, monthly allowances and other financial benefits.
In addition to these, Chen Yanlong also distributed houses and fields to their families; of course, there were also a small amount of food and money supply.
And most importantly, they are in a very relaxed environment, and can conduct free discussions and research, as well as have clean and tidy dormitories to live, and nutritious dining to supplement their physical strength and health.
Of course, all the experimental bases here are equipped with many doctors and nurses to rescue those who are injured or sick due to experimental accidents for treatment.
In addition to the fact that these rocket researchers were able to receive such good treatment, Chen Yanlong also treated the prisoners captured, the Jews in the concentration camp, and people from other countries, and gave them food and a small amount of wages; a good living environment and relatively good food.
Chen Yanlong's purpose in doing this is to win people's hearts, whether it is people from his own country, generals, officers and soldiers; or people from enemy countries, and soldiers.
Because his main goal now is to make Germany the most powerful country in Europe and the most popular country.
Since ancient times, all the great countries that have a strong foundation have been those that can win the hearts of the people, so Chen Yanlong has regarded calmness as his first priority.
Of course, calming down does not mean that he is a rude person, because as a strong and decisive leader, he also needs to understand the murder of people in imperial arts, that is, he must eliminate all those who do not obey him, have strange intentions, those who have no talent to do things, those who are stupid, mediocre, and cowardly officials, generals, soldiers, as well as various government departments, and the mediocre talents in the army.
"First of the People! I'm so anxious to come to us. I wonder if there is any combat mission explanation?"
As soon as he saw Chen Yanlong, Dr. Von Braun asked with a smile.
Dr. Hermann Obert and other scientists followed him right behind him, waiting for Chen Yanlong to speak.
"No! I just want to hold a meeting with you to discuss the latest deployment and development of our rocket missiles!"
Chen Yanlong shook hands with the other party gently and said with a smile.
"Okay! Then let's go to the conference room and have a meeting!"
Dr. von Braun responded without any surprise.
Because he and Chen Yanlong had already communicated with rocket development issues many times, he was not surprised by Chen Yanlong's sudden visit and meetings.
After a short while, they entered a clean and tidy conference room that could accommodate about 100 people.
However, there were only 50 scientific researchers coming in, because these people were the top personnel under Dr. Von Braun, and there were many personnel, and they were also the leader and manager of the scientific research team.
The rocket missile researchers who were not selected continued to carry out their work or research.
As soon as he sat down the conference table, Chen Yanlong immediately received a structural diagram of the V2 missile handed to him by Dr. von Braun.
The various structures of the V2 rocket are clearly drawn and commented.
For example, warhead fuze, ignition device, main fuel valve, guidance compartment, fuze tube, guide gyroscope, guide beam and radio command receiver, alcohol aqueous solution, hydrogen peroxide reaction chamber, turbine propulsion pump, alcohol/oxygen burner cover, thrust rack, rocket combustion chamber (shell), tail wing, gas rudder, liquid oxygen storage box and other places are marked clearly.
"Is this the v2 rocket we're making now?"
