Chapter 4: Future Planning

Chapter 4: Future Planning

Seeing the excited face of Obert, Wilhelm sighed secretly in his heart.

A few decades later, this sentence will be very popular, the future of mankind is the sea of stars, to conquer the entire universe. But this sentence has been shouted for decades. It stands to reason that with the rapid development of human technology, we should get closer and closer to this goal. But when he crossed over in 2020, let alone the solar system, human beings could not even conquer the moon "close at hand", and the number of landings on the moon was only a few times.

Don't look at the sci-fi movies of later generations often appearing in various ox-crossed spaceships, and even various scenes of interstellar wars, but all this is still very far away from human beings in 2020, let alone in the 19th century.

When he was a child, he also wondered why the various countries on the earth did not let go of all their prejudices and cooperate in the development of outer space, but later he also understood that this is basically an idiotic idea.

Prejudice and selfishness are the weaknesses of human nature. The origin of civilization has been six thousand years, but mankind has never downplayed its aggressiveness and various discriminations. Unless the earth encounters something as great as described in the movie 2012, human beings may be united when there is a common external pressure.

Since God gave him such an opportunity, he would not have the luxury of unifying the world, but at least it is worth trying to integrate the resources of the entire Europe into space.

"However, we still need to make technical reserves in advance. When technology reaches a certain level in the future, after the emergence of new materials, we only need to put our prepared theories into practice, right? It's better than researching from scratch when the time comes ."

Obert simply fell on the ground admiring the young royal prince. Be knowledgeable, calm and rational, pursue the truth, not arrogant or impetuous, look at the future and the present. If he inherits the throne, he will definitely be an enlightened leader.

"It takes a bite to eat. It takes a step to walk. Let's start small. I need several rockets, military ones." Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m

We must know that solid rocket motors with practical value were only made in the Soviet Union in 1956. Even if he uses future knowledge to advance the development of science and technology, he does not think that solid rocket motors can be built in ten years.

So he didn't want to waste time on goals that were impossible to achieve.

"Hiss!" Obert couldn't help but suck in a breath of air, range has to exceed 300 kilometers? The first type is not difficult for him, but about the last type, he is not so confident. After hesitating for a while, he asked carefully. "His Royal Highness, how much research and development time do I have?"

"Ten years." It took only 5 years for the original space-time V2 missile from development to finalization. Although he has advanced the development time, ten years should be more than enough.

"Ten years?" Obert couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. If he was asked to produce such a large rocket within two or three years, then he would not be confident that he could do it even with a knife around his neck. With ten years now, he feels that it is enough. Once this kind of super rocket is successfully built, it doesn't seem to be difficult to develop other types of rocket on it's basis? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really has a foresight.

"Dr. Obert, you can invite like-minded colleagues to study together. Although the current economic situation of the empire is a bit bad, I will try my best to meet the various materials and equipment you need for the experiment. I will not treat anyone badly who contributes to the empire. And0 not only the researchers themselves, but their family members can also enjoy various benefits. However, I don't need those who have no real talents. In addition, the research department will have the national security department to intervene to prevent foreign theft."

Of course Wilhelm had no mind-reading skills, and would not know that the Herman Obert in front of him was about to become his stunted fan, so he continued to speak for himself. Although this is not an anti-war person, Wilhelm explained. "Dr. Obert, to be honest, I am also a pacifist, and I also want to make Germany peaceful and strong. Unfortunately, sometimes I can't help myself. Now Germany is surrounded by enemies looking at us, they won't just let us send some things into space, maybe they will worry that someday those things will fall and hit their homes."

Obert smiled and nodded. "Fear comes from ignorance."

"Maybe they will be curious to find out, and they are more likely to grab these results into their homes for their own use. I don't know what purpose they are used for. What I want to do is to create a stable research environment for you. And the journey to the universe is definitely a bottomless pit. It is impossible to complete it with our German financial resources alone, so at least it must be achieved by integrating European forces. So Dr. Obert, this important task is in your hands." A bit more foolish than Einstein. Wilhelm sighed in his heart and sent out Dr. Obert, who was flattered.
