Chapter 1566 Magnificent Launch Scene

The first German computer, and also the first in the world, still used paper tape to input and output data. This method led to inefficiency. As a result, Cyric proposed a new method, designed A solidified compiler replaces machine instructions with mnemonics, which greatly increases operational efficiency.

The input device, which is replaced by a keyboard, can be used for fast input.

At the same time, after the first one was manufactured, Germany started the peak of building the computer for the first time, using the first one as a model. It was needed in many places. Braun used it for research on rockets. Dr. Messerschmitt For research jets, for nuclear weapons agencies.

The missile launch base here can be assigned to one, which is also after Cyric specially instructed.

At this time, the operator's hand quickly pressed on the keyboard and entered a series of instructions, and the huge computer began to enter into a high-speed operation to calculate and shoot the 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, the launch of medium-range missiles is different, and the loss of a thousand miles must be taken into account. The rotation of the earth and the wind speed of the launch site must be considered. Happening. Launching from high latitudes to low latitudes also takes into account the difference in linear velocity at different latitudes.

At this time, a mechanical calculator is absolutely not enough, only this kind of electronic computer can do it.

At the same time as the electronic computer was calculating the shooting of Zhu Yuan, the preparations before the launch were being carried out intensely and effectively.

After the fuel filling is completed, the sealing test is carried out, the various parts of the bomb load system enter the self-test, the gyroscope is ready to start, the fuel pump starts to discharge air, everything is going on normally, the rigorous Germans are quite good when they carry out these experiments. seriously.

"The computer has completed the ballistic solution." At this moment, the humming sound of the huge computer system disappeared, and instructions appeared on the screen of the terminal.

"Assigned to each silo, stapled into the missile system."

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

The sun slid down to the sea level in the west, but soon, it will rise again in the east, although not as absolute as the polar day in the arctic circle, the real night will not exceed two hours, and it is not completely dark, always. It's just a grey feeling.

All preparations have been completed.

"Silo 1 is ready."

"Silo 2 is ready."

…

When silo 20 finished his report, Colonel Dornberg looked at the clock on the wall, it was eleven fifteen.

"Launch begins!" Colonel Dornberg said. "Let the American earth tremble and let them know that no city is fortified before our Unit 14!"

Launch begins!

Following Colonel Dornberg's order, a famous launcher pressed his hand hard on the launch button on the console.

Silo 1.

The three conical engine nozzles suddenly burst out with white gas, which is the rapid gasification of nitric acid. Then, in the turbine sound of the fuel pump, UDMH was sprayed into the combustion chamber of the rocket engine. Burn quickly.

The fiery airflow emerged from the vent at the rear, followed the diversion trough, and quickly drained to the outside, and the entire launch silo was enveloped in a white smoke.

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

When it left the silo, it wasn't fast enough to even get out of the white smoke, and it rose slowly in the white smoke, like a fairy.

Then, its speed began to get faster and faster. It pushed away the white smoke and flew upwards. At its tail, there was a fiery flame. Outside the flame, it was gray smoke and dust, which quickly spread out, the more It grows wider and wider, like a column of air, rising upwards.

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

More than just a plume of smoke.

Twenty silos were launched almost at the same time. Each missile rose up with a gray smoke column. The smoke column spread rapidly, the bottom was wide and the top was narrow. As the rocket climbed, the smoke column continued to grow. elongated.

This scene looks extremely magnificent.

At this time, the setting sun was shedding the last rays of sunlight on the horizon. Due to the obstruction of the surrounding mountains, the launch site had already dimmed. In everyone's eyes, all they saw was the huge plumes of smoke.

"What a nice view!"

If the warhead carried a nuclear weapon, the launch of such a missile would be the end of the world, and now, the warhead carried on the warhead is just a conventional warhead.

No one witnessed all this, only the officers and soldiers of Unit 14 serving here, who watched their missiles fly out, with great joy in their hearts.

"Clear the silo, and in eight hours, reload the next missile." Colonel Dornberg continued with the order, and they had no time to delay.

At this time, the missiles that were launched had already climbed rapidly, soon exceeding the speed of sound, and continued to climb.

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

By the time it exited the atmosphere, it had already surpassed Mach 10, and then, after drawing a graceful arc in the sky, it began to veer to the southwest.

When the engine of the rocket stops running, it is completely ballistic flight, and it is no different from a flying shell, and it is completely based on the accurate calculation of the ballistic trajectory in advance.

The on-board gyroscope monitors the flight status of the missile warhead, the half-ton warhead traveling in outer space.

At this point, the target still knew nothing and had no defenses.

Newport News Shipyard.

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

They are all preparing for war.

The shipyard was working day and night, and the workers were working overtime. Many people worked more than 12 hours. At this time, the union was silent.

At this time, on the outfitting pier next to it, the lights were shining, and the USS Essex, a new generation aircraft carrier of the US Navy with a full load and displacement of more than 30,000 tons, was undergoing the final finishing work.
