Chapter 105 Persuasion
Working with sounding rockets is not only about capital and technology issues, but also terrifyingly, the price of life will always be at the cost of it!
In order to study advanced rockets, many designers risked their lives. The most famous accident was probably the most tragic missile explosion in the world in 1960.
How tragic was it? Marshal Mi Inegelin, the commander of the Soviet missile force present, died on the spot, and all 160 Soviet astronautics scientists on the launch pad were also killed. All creatures on the scene were gone, leaving only coins and keys!
The missile's rocket engine needs the most advanced fuel and oxidizer. If it can burn stably, it can provide a continuous stream of power. If it cannot burn stably, it will explode!
Moreover, the most helpless thing is that there are complex gases and liquids inside the rocket engine. In many cases, various theoretical formulas cannot be used to calculate, and can only be determined through actual experiments!
Therefore, the Rocket engine needs continuous experiments to be finalized. I don’t know how many failures it will take to succeed! Now, the Rockets are just beginning, and everything is exploring!
And now, when Cyric and his group just arrived, they happened to see a flame coming out of the simple room over there!
"Quick, put out the fire!" At this time, Cialek didn't even think about the possible explosion. He only knew that his mission was to find Professor Goddard. If the professor was burned to death here, he would be in vain. Without Professor Goddard, the German missile would definitely have to be postponed for a long time before it could appear!
Put out the fire!
The fire was jumping very fiercely, and it was just smoking. Just as Cialek rushed over, the raging fire was about to begin over there!
What to do? What to do?
When Cialek saw a large water tank next to him, he immediately used a bucket of water to fill it with a bucket of water, poured it on his body, and then gritted his teeth and rushed into it!
The wooden door was kicked open by Cialek. In the thick smoke, you can see several people lying on the ground, one of the old men was quite eye-catching.
Goddard!
The fire was fierce, and Cialek felt that the water on his body was evaporating quickly. It won’t take long to burn here!
"Professor, Professor!" Cialek shouted loudly, then quickly ran to the professor, pulled the professor up and carried it to his shoulders.
At this time, Graff and several others had already rushed in. They carried the others one after another and brought them out together.
There was a burnt smell on my head, and I'm afraid the hair on my head was roasted!
Fortunately, several people have been rescued. In the open space outside, Cialek and others were gasping for breath, watching Goddard and others slowly wake up.
"Who are you?" Goddard asked after he woke up, looking at Cyric and others.
When he turned his head and saw the fire workshop, Goddard's eyes suddenly widened and he shouted loudly: "No, no!"
He struggled to stand up and put out the fire in his workshop, and the expression on his face was quite painful.
That workshop is all about him!
"No, professor, you can't go!" Cialek grabbed Goddard tightly and said, "There is no longer aid there."
"No, let me go, let me go!" Goddard at this time seemed to be a stubborn child.
Goddard finally didn't move.
The house has collapsed!
Kneeling on the ground, Goddard's body kept trembling, and at this moment, his heart was in great pain.
Just now, while testing new fuel, a big fire broke out! He burned everything about him! Now, it is extremely difficult to raise funds, and it is really difficult to start the experiment again!
Goddard is now fifty years old. His life of wandering and poor has made Goddard look older, and this failure is even more a heavy blow!
Goddard is in great pain now. He doesn't know if he can still bear it, whether he can find enough funds to rebuild the laboratory and continue to start the experiment.
Goddard's eyes were blurred. He seemed to have seen his childhood. At the beginning, when he looked at the bright moon, he kept thinking, why can't he go up? Yes, he wants to go up!
What to rely on? Of course it’s the Rockets!
Goddard was not sad because he really wanted to be a moon man by others!
But now? Everything is over!
"Professor, please don't be sad. We are quite interested in the sounding rockets. Maybe we can talk about our cooperation and introduce it. My name is Cialique, and I am from Germany." Cialique stretched out his hand.
Cialick? The name seems familiar. Professor Goddard stretched out his hand and held it with the other person. At the same time, he also looked at the other person. The end of the other person's hair was already burnt with traces of burning, and his whole body was soaked. Just now, if it weren't for the people in front of him, he would probably have been burned to death!
"Thank you very much for saving me. You are from Germany? How do you cooperate?" Goddard asked.
"We firmly believe that sounding rockets are the right development direction. We plan to invest initially 1 million marks of development as a startup fund to establish a modern rocket experimental site and hire you as the chief designer. At the same time, in order to facilitate the launch of rockets, we will find an open area and an unmanned land in North Africa, so that when launching the rockets, we will not be affected in any way. I wonder what you think?"
1 million marks! Professor Goddard's biggest fund is the 50,000 US dollars raised by Sius! If there is 1 million marks, Goddard's research can be expanded quickly!
He wants to test the ratio of various fuels, he wants to test various engines, various advanced materials and processing equipment, all of which require capital investment!
Moreover, this 1 million mark is the early expense! More funds will be added later!
"Your staff is also seriously insufficient. We plan to draw some people who love the aerospace industry from domestic researchers to join your team and study together. Our dream is to see the day when we are still alive." Cialek said to Goddard.
What is the day going on? What good things on the moon are worth nostalgic? What I care most about most is when will I be able to build an intercontinental missile that directly hits the United States!
