Chapter 922 The Spectacular Space Flight

As a person, once Alan Wilson recognizes a person, no matter what the person's reputation is, he will try his best to help, as long as he doesn't do this to himself. The Dragoon sisters have offended him once.

But after comprehensive consideration, especially considering the fact that he was raised in the Hellman family, he was still not prepared to have sex with women, but he had already decided in his heart that there would be no next time.

Historically, although the establishment of NASA occurred during Eisenhower's term, it was promoted by the Democratic Party as the opposition party. Kennedy's contribution to the space race can be said to be a big plus.

His performance in the space race was one of the major positive factors that contributed to Kennedy's rocket-like journey from the House of Representatives to the Senate, and finally to his successful run for president.

Alan Wilson did not want to give this credit to Kennedy. He had long believed that Kennedy was not only a threat to the United States, but also to the Soviet Union, China, and the United Kingdom.

Kennedy, whose life was too smooth, liked to do things that were not very acceptable.

He is helping McCarthy this time, and he dare not say that he can successfully snipe Kennedy's presidential path, because neither Nixon nor McCarthy is as easy to win votes as this handsome guy, but even so, Kennedy cannot ascend to the presidency too easily. .

Furthermore, if it succeeds, maybe Americans will just take this and feel that McCarthy's image is glorious and majestic?

Turing is also a person recognized by Alan Wilson. After the failure of this satellite launch, he still showed that he had gained something, so that British researchers, including Turing, should not be stressed.

"If the country invests so much money and personnel, it will definitely not be an easy task, right?" Alan Wilson, who was walking at the launch site, said to Turing who was standing side by side, "If it were so easy to create history, it would not be easy. There will be such a big movement around the world."

"You're right." Turing knew that his friend had good intentions and said, "Although the rocket did not deliver the satellite to the intended location, it at least proved that our rocket is reliable."

"That's what I mean." Seeing Turing out of his decadent state, Alan Wilson looked pleased.

He is the only one in the world who knows that every experiment conducted in the UK is making history.

It is already much better than the original Britain in history, which is gratifying enough.

In the evening, the heads of various departments at the Wumera launch site determined the launch plan in half a month. Emergency launch is not a good idea, but now there is no choice. Not only the United States is constantly carrying out launch missions, but so is the United Kingdom.

In just two months since the Soviet satellite was launched into space, Britain and the United States have alternately tested intercontinental missiles and launched satellites. And suffered a series of defeats, at least not as many times as the United States.

The U.S.'s Atlas Intercontinental Missile failed twice in succession after succeeding once. The Blue Light Missile has initially achieved reliability, but when it comes to launching satellites, both the United Kingdom and the United States are groping through constant failures.

Now it is difficult to tell who successfully launched the second satellite, anyone could have done so. In his heart, of course, Alan Wilson hopes that as a father, he can teach Americans a lesson. But I was afraid that my rebellious son would not respect martial ethics, so I was very confused...

Soon, Alan Wilson was back in Perth, waiting for the next launch before going to the launch site.

"Are there any commissioners in other colonies running around like you?" Pamela Mountbatten's postpartum recovery has come to an end. After she was in a good mood and saw her husband coming back, she couldn't help but start teasing her.

"Other colonial commissioners mainly do not manage overseas assets." Alan Wilson did not deny it. He now spends almost half of the year away from Kuala Lumpur. "The Malayan colonies have a mature system to rely on, which also solved my many problems." Big trouble."

"Speaking of this issue, three regional commissioners in the Colony of Malaya are leaving their posts. The Sarawak Development Bank is planning to hire them as directors." Pamela Mountbatten heard her husband's words,

I suddenly remembered this matter, and then took out the files of three people, indicating that I wanted to activate the revolving door.

"You just have to make the decision." Alan Wilson just glanced at the person's name and nodded, "I don't care about your property."

"It is the property of the Wilson family." Pamela Mountbatten said in a womanly tone, "You like to be an official, otherwise, you would definitely be much more famous than I am now."

"Marrying a good wife is more important than anything else." Alan Wilson came over and gave his wife a kiss of victory, put one hand on Pamela Mountbatten's abdomen, and said softly with a smile, "Recovering well, my dear. "

Necessary encouragement can help couples achieve emotional harmony, even if they are already an old couple.

In the UK this year, apart from the people who can compete with Alan Wilson and run around, it should be in the Admiralty.

This year, the British Admiralty successfully signed sales contracts for three aircraft carriers. The three aircraft carriers are all Giant-class and were sold to Brazil, Argentina and India respectively. In addition to the two Vengeance-class aircraft carriers sold to France and the Glorious-class aircraft carrier sold to Australia, the British aircraft carrier inventory finally no longer looks bloated.

The battleships accumulated during the World War have been reduced to a certain extent after being sold off for such a long time.

This is of course a good thing for the UK. The maintenance cost alone is a huge expense, and mothballing it will not reduce the cost much, and it also takes up space. Therefore, the mothballed aircraft carrier cannot escape the fate of being dismantled in the end.

In fact, according to the British style, there are no obstacles to selling heavy warships, as long as the money can be exchanged to balance the finances.

The state of the Admiralty is also a microcosm of the entire United Kingdom. Compared with the original history, the downward trend is much better.

Of course, it is not surprising that only Alan Wilson himself knows about this matter in this world. Sometimes he feels that he is an unknown worker. No one knows your achievements. Your name will last forever. This sentence Soviet words are more suitable to describe him.

"After all, one person carried it all." Faced with the rolling torrent of history, Alan Wilson could only make fine adjustments as much as possible, hoping that the consequences of destroying a thousand-mile embankment in an ant nest would occur.

"Why are my legs so heavy?" Princess Margaret, who was in the turbulent waves, suddenly heard her brother-in-law say these words. She opened her half-closed eyes and looked at the man walking forward with a gun and a heavy load.

Nights in Perth are always so unexpected. Her Royal Highness the Princess must not feel left out, but she must also be wary of the bastards from MI5. Most importantly, she must not let her feel that something is wrong.

The most unexpected thing was that the next day, Alan Wilson heard that Nehru had established the National Space Research Council in India, with Dr. Vikram as the chairman.

"I suddenly feel that the space race is no longer a high-tech thing." Holding the Times of India newspaper, Alan Wilson felt that the steak served by his wife was no longer tasty.

"What?" Pamela Mountbatten thought her husband didn't like her craftsmanship, and her tone was a little disappointed. Only when she saw the newspaper in her husband's hand did she realize, "The space race is now so valued all over the world, and Nehru is not If we want to build a great and prosperous country, it is normal to establish such a department."

"Is it normal?" Alan Wilson seemed to be in a state of memory. He remembered that India's aerospace industry started in the 1960s, which was a few years earlier. "You don't have to think about it. India's aerospace talents were trained in London."

This is nothing to think about, but an obvious fact. The person in charge, Vikram Sarabhai, studied in the UK. After receiving a bachelor's degree from St. John's College, Cambridge University, he studied under the Nobel Prize winner in Physics, Chandrase. Professor Kara Raman published the paper "Study of Cosmic Rays at Tropical Latitudes" and obtained a PhD in physics. He returned to India after India's independence.

"You still want to build a university in Malaya." Pamela Mountbatten joked, "Isn't this also training future competitors? I remember you said that Europe is not actually ahead of other civilizations."

"The precise meaning of my words is that Europe is not ahead of other civilizations, and other civilizations are not ahead of Europe." Alan Wilson corrected his wife. He had said something similar before. In essence, he did not believe that there was a certain civilization in the agricultural era that was ahead of Europe. What happened to other civilizations over the years can basically be determined to be deliberate actions to stimulate national pride.

"When I establish a university in Malaya, I also have a way to eliminate the threat of high-pressure education to local universities."

Alan Wilson cut a steak and fed it to his wife's mouth, explaining, "I just need to educate myself on useless knowledge."

Even if you roll it up and use high-pressure education methods, it is easy to go off the rhythm.

It must be admitted that most of the knowledge that a person learns in his or her lifetime is never used in life.

If Alan Wilson wanted to, he could adopt a high-pressure education and cultivate talents with more knowledge than native British students. It would be easy. But it can also prevent these talents from using the knowledge they learn.

These Malayan talents who come into contact with British universities will definitely want to be screened out by his high-pressure education first.

Taking mathematics as an example, he can greatly expand the content of mathematics education. For example, in primary and secondary schools, it is required to learn a certain proportion of Olympiad mathematics, and mental arithmetic is almost useless in practical situations, etc.

He can do this in every subject, adding a lot of content that is destined not to be used in the future to distract students.

If there is any harm to this method, there is basically no harm. At least I have learned so much more useless knowledge, and I can brag after drinking too much.

"At the peak of the British Empire, it would have been a real loss to the entire British Empire if you had not been born." Pamela Mountbatten chewed her steak lightly and shook her head, "But that's fine, I wouldn't have been able to marry you if you had been born earlier. .”

Faced with the national destiny of the British Empire and her own personal life, Pamela Mountbatten upheld the spirit of nobility and decisively chose herself.
