Transmigrated as the Crown Prince

The return process of "Xingchen 1" was almost uneventful. Although the outer glass of one of the side windows cracked when it entered the atmosphere, it did not shatter and finally landed smoothly in the designated area.

Prince Oscar, who struggled to climb out of the cabin, was immediately put on a rescue helicopter and returned to the launch base.

Yannick, Princess Oscar and others came to the outside of the medical room and watched through the glass window as Prince Oscar underwent various examinations inside.

Princess Oscar called one of the doctors out and asked. "Is he okay?"

The doctor nodded respectfully. "His Royal Highness the Prince's vital signs are stable and no problems have been found. However, we need to conduct further examinations."

Yannick comforted. "Don't worry, he has been up there for less than 2 hours. What danger could there be?"

In fact, space is indeed not a livable environment for humans. In addition to vibration, impact, noise, weightlessness, overgravity, high vacuum, circadian rhythm changes, severe temperature changes, etc., the greatest threat is space radiation. In the space environment around the earth, there are three main sources of high-energy particle radiation: the earth's radiation belts, galactic cosmic rays and solar radiation. The Earth's magnetic field acts like a giant umbrella, protecting life on Earth from solar wind and cosmic radiation, allowing life on Earth to survive. And once humans step out of the scope of this protective umbrella, they will face all kinds of terrifying and dangerous radiation.

Fortunately, the protective performance of today's German spacecraft and spacesuits far exceeds the protective equipment used by the Soviet Union and the United States when they first entered space in the original time and space. Moreover, Prince Oscar did not conduct a more dangerous space walk, and just circled the earth once and returned. The impact of radiation on the body is almost negligible. At most, it can be regarded as a few more CT scans.

However, the doctors don’t have much relevant experience (the first few times they went into space were all animals, and Prince Oscar was the first human being). Coupled with Prince Oscar’s distinguished status, they did not dare to be careless or slack at all and send him to the space. They checked it carefully inside and outside, up and down, and it was not until Yannick and others came back from lunch that all the inspections were almost completed.

Arriving at the hospital bed and looking at Prince Oscar, whose face was glowing red and munching on bread and soup, Yannick asked. "What's the view like up there?"

"It's spectacular, the sky is full of stars, the waves are majestic... In short, it's a beauty that cannot be described by any words in the world! I have never encountered such a soul-shaking beauty in my life, even in my dreams. I feel like my soul has been blessed once Sublimation." Looking at Prince Oscar's exaggerated yet extremely serious expression, Yannick just smiled and couldn't help but feel glad that he didn't like traveling much, let alone so-called adventures. Otherwise, he might not be able to bear to go to space for a spin. lock up.

Prince Oscar put down the bread in his hand and asked. "Son, when can we send people to the moon?"

"..." Yannick mentally compared the original time and space U.S. moon landing schedule with the current technological development progress, plus investing enough funds. "About four or five years."

"That's great!" Seeing the excited look on Prince Oscar's face, Yannick guessed what he was thinking. He must be the first to land on the moon. But he's already attempted suicide once, so he'll have to commit suicide a few more times, right? Moreover, the war will be over long ago in four or five years, and the results of space exploration should be disclosed to the public. The prince of the empire is willing to take risks for the cause of human space, which is also a good publicity point. "I plan to send two people to the moon at the same time. Then you and mom can go to the moon together."

Speaking of the first moon landing, the most impressive thing is Neil Alden Armstrong’s words: “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.” The man who landed on the moon at the same time as Armstrong And Buzz Aldrin. However, "Apollo 11" was carrying three astronauts at the time. While Armstrong and Aldrin were active on the lunar surface, the third astronaut, Michael Collins, was driving the command module to fly around the moon. The moon's surface is only one step away.

"Awesome!" Just as Prince Oscar and his wife were high-fiving in celebration, a group of German bombers from St. Pierre and Miquelon Islands flew over the United States again.

However, their target was not Los Angeles, as the top US military officials had guessed, but Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. After all, to bomb Los Angeles, the bomber group taking off from St. Pierre had to fly across the entire United States, from east to west; in order to ensure the range, the bomb load had to be reduced.

Besides, Pittsburgh is a worthy bombing target.

Pennsylvania was one of the 13 states in the early founding period of the United States. Pittsburgh was an important industrial city in the early days of the United States, especially the main base of the steel industry. It is known as the Steel Capital of the United States.

Originally a village, Pittsburgh was established as a fur trading post by European colonists in the late 17th century. In the mid-18th century, French colonists established a stronghold here, Fort Duquesne. It was captured by British colonists in 1758 and the town was named after British Prime Minister William Peter.

After the American Revolution, the town began to grow and develop rapidly, becoming one of the first industrial sites. Pittsburgh became a "town" in 1784 and became a Pennsylvania territory in 1785. In 1789, the city began producing artificial glass, and its population grew. By 1815, Pittsburgh had become an important industrial center in the United States. In 1816, Pittsburgh was officially upgraded to a "city".

The Pennsylvania Canal was built in 1837 and the railroad was connected in 1851, making the area an important land and water transportation hub. At the beginning of the 20th century, Pittsburgh's industry and commerce developed rapidly and became the center of the American Industrial Revolution, giving birth to a large number of pioneers of the Industrial Revolution. Steel magnate Andrew Carnegie established the Carnegie Steel Company (later became U.S. Steel), which once monopolized more than half of the steel production in the United States and became a trust in the steel industry; Andrew Mellon established the Mellon Consortium, which became the America's richest man, who later became America's Secretary of the Treasury; George Westinghouse, American engineer and manufacturer. He was awarded more than 400 patents for his many inventions, including the air brake (1869), railway braking signaling equipment (1882) and a practical method of transmitting electricity. He founded the Westinghouse Electric Company in 1886; Heinz founded the world food giant Heinz Company.

As usual, the German bomber formation flew over Pittsburgh and began to drop bombs.
