    In the early morning, the blue sky is clear and white clouds are flying leisurely in the high sky.  The rocket research base located in the outer suburbs of Peenem¨¹nde, Germany, is bathed in bright sunshine and looks particularly large and majestic.  The base is surrounded by tall walls, dense power grids, and countless sentry guards with live ammunition. Its level of defense is second only to the East Prussia Nuclear Weapons Research and Development Center, which is heavily guarded by 5,000 special forces.  A convoy of vehicles drove slowly from the straight highway, and the checkpoints along the way pushed aside the roadblocks to let them pass; not long after, these vehicles arrived directly in front of the tall office building in the base.  On the all-black streamlined metal body, the black eagle emblem unique to the Hohenzollern family is almost ready to spread its wings and take off.  A group of administrative and technical senior executives had been waiting quietly in front of the office building. When the monarch in gorgeous clothes slowly walked out of the carriage, they immediately saluted deeply with respect and respect, and their faces were filled with unprecedented solemn expressions.  .  Qingying glanced around and looked at the research center that she had invested heavily in establishing.  Due to the heavy workload during the war, he did not have time to inspect this base. Now that the situation on all sides has been calmed down, his first priority is to gain insight into and pay attention to this core project.  What's more, this revolutionary scientific and technological achievement will also be a crucial trump card for oneself in future external games. If the technical strength is strong enough, it can save years of time and allow one's side to retain data.  Thousands of young lives!  Accompanied by a group of personnel, Qingying launched an all-round investigation of the base.  What makes him happy is that after two years, the facilities and hardware of the Peenem¨¹nde Rocket Base have undergone rapid improvements.  All kinds of sophisticated and high-quality facilities and equipment are available.  It's all there; whether it's physical production or data collection.  Designers can get the information they need at the first time.  The personnel management of the base is also in good order.  Hundreds of researchers are divided into dozens of research groups in an orderly manner, and they are well coordinated with each other. The regulations on rewards and punishments are clear and have a strong attraction for people from all walks of life to achieve innovative breakthroughs.  Seeing these scenes, Qingying finally understood the reason why those v3 missiles could be developed during the war; in every aspect, the energy contained in this base far exceeded that of the Third Reich at the same time in history, and this is gratifying  The situation also gave Qingying a little more confidence in realizing her idea.  "Dr. Braun, what is the maximum range we can currently create missiles with. And what is the warhead load?" When the staff unfolded the latest missile design outline in front of Qingying and introduced it  At this moment, Qingying suddenly turned around and asked Braun, the director of the Missile Body Research Laboratory next to him.  Although this young man has not yet reached the age of 30, his achievements in his professional field have shocked and amazed everyone around him; looking at all the scientific monsters in history, even if you include people like  There are very few top beings like Newton and Tesla who can achieve his achievements at this age!  Braun, who had a straight face, was startled when he heard this, and then said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the range of the missile is no longer the most critical technical obstacle for us. After the development of the V3 rocket, we have mastered the capabilities of this weapon.  The trade-off relationship between self-weight and fuel; as long as we further increase the weight and volume of the missile, its maximum range can easily make a qualitative leap. Currently, we have begun to develop a V4 rocket with a range of 1,500 kilometers.  The weight has also been significantly increased to 2 tons. The test launch is expected to be completed in the second half of this year. However, there is another crucial problem before us: with the significant increase in range, we will finally have a better understanding of the missile.  It has become increasingly difficult to control the landing point. According to the performance of the v3 rocket, the dispersion radius of the v4 rocket will be at least 12 kilometers. " Hearing the other party's words, Qingying's heart sank slightly: thousands of kilometers.  Although its range has reached the threshold level of future medium-range ballistic missiles, its accuracy is so poor that even if it is loaded with a nuclear warhead, it cannot cause effective damage to the target area.  Since fusion weapons are very different from fission weapons in structure and principle, it is difficult for Germany to expect the emergence of miniaturized hydrogen bombs in the next 7 to 8 years; and the explosive power of tens of thousands of tons of TNT equivalent of fission weapons alone  , it is also difficult to achieve targets 12 kilometers away!  "However, we have begun to work hard to solve this problem. Currently, the staff of the radar room are conducting a comprehensive study on the captured American radar data and objects, in order to use the late-stage guidance of the radar under the condition of integrating the technologies of the two countries.  Correcting the inherent deviation to reduce the missile's final hit dispersion radius. If this improvement method is successfully implemented, then we are expected to reduce its dispersion error by half." From the corner of his eye, he saw his colleagues next to him constantly looking at him.  After winking, the young Braun suddenly realized what he was doing and quickly added to Qingying.  Being inexperienced in worldly affairs, I spoke quickly and explained the most difficult situation I was currently facing.?The technical bottleneck was revealed without reservation to the monarch who came to inspect. I wonder if he would be annoyed and disappointed by this situation?  "The next core work of Peenem¨¹nde is to fully improve the hit accuracy of the missile. If the new missile has a range of 1,500 kilometers, then its final hit error must be controlled within 4 kilometers. This will be the final goal of the Army.  The bottom line accuracy in deciding whether to purchase or not." Qingying spoke calmly, and the calm and majestic demeanor of having been in power for many years frightened everyone present, and they all respected him with awe.  He paused, and a faint smile appeared on his face: "As for the research funding, there is no need to worry about it. If this missile that meets the accuracy requirements can be finalized within three years, the Army General  The staff will not begrudge honors and rewards!" Braun and others breathed a sigh of relief, and their words were full of solemn and firm tone.  Since the establishment of this base, the General Staff has allocated sufficient funds to it under Qingying's order; currently, whether it is from the national sense of responsibility to enhance the imperial power or out of consideration for repaying Qingying's gratitude, they are  The researchers all have every reason to die for the request of the monarch in front of them.  The entourage who hold administrative positions are much more alert. They have smelled an unusual breath from Qingying's words: The current war on all parties has been calmed down, why is the emperor still so urgent about the finalization time of the missile?  requirements?  However, they all buried their suspicions deeply in their hearts. The less people working in this top-secret base say, the longer they can live under the surveillance of Gai Shilu Taibao!  After completing the inspection of the Peenem¨¹nde missile base, Qingying took a special train to the nuclear weapons research center surrounded by jungle in East Prussia.  Similar to the talented Braun, the nearly 40-year-old Heisenberg is already at the top of Germany's nuclear physics field; he and the 60-year-old Hahn complement each other to fully demonstrate the power of Germany, the birthplace of the second industrial revolution.  The country has a strong and powerful successor in the field of cutting-edge scientific talents.  Seeing the steady and steady faces of the backbone and the energetic young faces, Qingying couldn't help but feel sincere admiration for the surging power of this country; their hearts, qualities, spirits, and characters are all  It is the best existence in Europe and even the world.  And under his own changes in history, all the shining points of this nation have bloomed brilliantly like the stars, sun and moon!  After some exchanges with Hahn, Qingying also had a complete understanding of the current situation of Germany's nuclear weapons technology.  By optimizing the structure of the implosion-type plutonium bomb, this weapon was able to achieve a significant reduction in weight, as expected by Qingying: the current weight of a plutonium bomb is close to 4 tons, but after improvement, it only needs 15 tons.  , its equivalent power will even be further improved due to a significant leap in the utilization rate of nuclear raw materials.  The only thing Qingying regrets is that the research and development of the hydrogen bomb is still in the initial stage of paper demonstration.  Although the light nuclear fusion of deuterium and tritium was discovered earlier than the heavy nuclear fission, its harsh prerequisites have left all nuclear physicists at a loss: the ultra-high temperature and ultra-high pressure required for its fusion are not conventional means at all.  can be achieved.  It wasn't until they mastered fission weapons that Hahn and others were able to turn around and consider the use of this energy.  However, even so, the idea of ??using the nuclear explosion of a plutonium bomb to trigger fusion still has serious technical bottlenecks. It will take at least another five years to achieve the first fusion nuclear test.  Faced with this situation, Qingying, who could not force herself, could only let nature take its course.  Germany's current scientific and technological strength has greatly surpassed that of the same period in history. Now that computer technology is still in its infancy, it is difficult to make any substantial progress if it is too demanding on progress.  What's more, the current conflicts between Germany and Japan in the Far East have not yet begun to intensify, and it will take quite some time for the latter to digest the war dividends they have gained in the Pacific; therefore, they are left to themselves to use the ultimate method of combining nuclear bombs and ballistic missiles to settle the matter.  All rough strategies, and there is still a long period of technical reserve time.  "However, now is the time to prepare for a rainy day." Sitting in the special train returning to Berlin, Qingying thought to herself.  With the defeat of the United States, the relationship between Germany and Japan has undergone subtle changes. No matter from which perspective, they need to take measures to curb their post-war expansion.  (To be continued)
