The decisive battle against the Third Reich

"She's adjusting!" Conrad said, holding up the telescope.

"Yes, of course!" Von Braun also raised the telescope and looked at it: "The distance of our test flight has never been more than one kilometer, and now it is at least dozens of kilometers!"

"And I think it can keep flying!"

"Of course!" said von Braun: "Because she is Hannah!"

"How long can the 'target drone' fly?" Qin Chuan asked.

"22 minutes!" Von Braun replied: "Its fuel can fly for 22 minutes, more than two hundred kilometers, and its speed is similar to the British Spitfire..."

"But you didn't tell her that!"

"What?" Von Braun and Conrad couldn't help but look at Qin Chuan sitting in the passenger seat in surprise.

"Captain, are you sure we haven't told her?" Conrad asked.

"Colonel!" said von Braun, "I thought you told her!"

"I thought you told her too!" Conrad replied angrily.

"Great!" Von Braun waved his hand, and then shouted to Werner who was driving: "Press your accelerator, soldier, we are going to be left behind by her!"

"But that's a plane...Professor!" Werner replied with a smile: "As you just said, its speed is only slightly worse than the Spitfire. Do you hope that the jeep can catch up with the plane?"

Von Braun and Conrad were silent.

Werner and Qin Chuan looked at each other and shook their heads secretly... Scientists, they always ignore other things because they are too focused on one thing, which also makes them look like weirdos.

Soon the "target drone" disappeared from everyone's sight. Even with a telescope, no trace of it could be found. Conrad and von Braun were silent, seeming to blame each other for leaking data. Or maybe it's guilt.

"We can think on the bright side!" Qin Chuan comforted them: "Professor, Colonel, this is the first test flight. Hannah may not be able to fly to the moment when the fuel is exhausted, so you missed the data and said It didn’t make any difference!”

"Yes!" Von Braun nodded in agreement, but then he looked at his watch and said, "But fifteen minutes have passed now!"

Then their hearts were lifted again.

As time passed, the two of them looked at their watches from time to time and then looked back at a jeep following them... Kuhn was in charge of that jeep, and he brought communication equipment to contact the tracking points arranged along the way. connect,

When the time passed the 19th minute, Kuhn shouted to the front: "She landed, but the landing was not smooth!"

"What's going on? Tell me clearly!" shouted Von Braun.

"I don't know what happened!" Kuhn replied: "She landed between tracking points No. 16 and No. 17, which is more than 160 kilometers away from here. They saw the 'target drone' in Jumping a few times on the ground, heading towards the 'target drone'!"

"Is she safe?" Conrad asked.

"I don't know!" Kuhn spread his hands: "They haven't arrived yet!"

After more than ten minutes, I finally got the good news: "They found her, she is safe...just slightly injured!"

"you sure?"

"Yes!" Kuhn nodded: "I'm sure!"

Conrad and Braun then let out a long sigh of relief and leaned back on their seats. They both looked a little exhausted.

More than an hour later, several people met Hannah on the road, and of course the "target drone" whose wing had fallen to the ground and had half of its wings broken off... The "target drone" was not taken back for reuse. In fact, this thing It is a disposable product, even the engine is disposable, because it is cheap and easy to malfunction (the valve is easily burned through by high-temperature flames or causes other problems due to high heat). It is better to repair it than to start a new one. Make one.

The reason for recycling is the need for confidentiality.

Of course, no one would care about the "target drone" at this time.

Hannah's nose was bruised and her face was swollen, and there were some bloodshot eyes at the corners of her mouth, but she still smiled at everyone and said, "Hey, this test flight was a success, wasn't it?"

"Of course, Hannah!" Braun hugged her: "Thank God you are safe!"

"Of course, nothing flying in the sky can trouble me!" Hannah replied proudly.

When they returned to the headquarters, Braun and several other scientific researchers held a test flight summary meeting with Hannah.

In addition to issues related to data correction, the meeting mainly focused on trial safety.

"Why did the 'target drone' fail to land safely?" Braun asked: "I'm sorry, I don't mean to question your technology, I just hope it can be improved..."

"I know, Braun!" Hannah laughed: "Stop explaining so much, let's be professional!"

Hannah took a sip of water and replied: "My vision is not good. I can only observe the outside through the large glass holes on both sides of the cup, and I have to lie down to observe. Although there is data from the instrument to cooperate, I still cannot see the outside." Accurately judge your altitude when landing!”

Braun nodded to express his understanding. The response speed of the instrument was a bit lagging, and the accuracy was far from reaching the point where a smooth landing could be achieved by just looking at the instrument.

"We should improve the flying environment!" Qin Chuan said: "Otherwise we will encounter similar dangers next time we test flight!"

"Captain, it's not that we don't change!" Conrad replied: "But if we change its appearance, it means that its aerodynamic layout has also changed, so the data obtained will be inaccurate."

"We have considered changing some areas of the front to transparent tempered glass!" Braun said: "But the front is the navigation system. If we do this, it will take a lot of time to make major changes!"

"And the navigation system should be placed on the head!" Conrad added: "That would make it more responsive!"

"I know!" Qin Chuan said: "But why don't you add something like a periscope to it? You can even install this periscope behind the curvature of the head. This will not affect the aerodynamic layout. What an impact!”

The scientists were stunned.

Hannah couldn't help laughing: "What a great idea, Captain, you actually used the tank's periscope on the plane!"

Qin Chuan spread his hands and replied: "Who said tank items can't be used on airplanes?"

Conrad extended his hand to Braun: "100 marks, professor!"

"Have you raised the stakes?" Qin Chuan asked.

"Of course!" Conrad replied: "Because the professor wants to win back his capital with profit! But he is obviously going to be disappointed!"
