Rocket technology is currently mastered by only two countries, one is Southern Africa, and the other is Germany, which is not known as a country.

How should the United States say it? It's not that there is no technology, but that there is no motivation. Von Karman's talent in this field is no less than that of von Braun, just because he is in the United States and his progress is slow.

This is normal in the United States. Think about what happened to Robert Goddard and Nikola Tesla in the United States, and you can see the attitude of the United States towards technology.

In the past few decades, the United States has not been the world leader, otherwise it is hard to say whether technology can develop so fast in the past few decades.

The key is capital.

Americans have the same attitude towards technology as Edison. Since direct current can make money, why develop alternating current?
Edison not only did not research and develop by himself, but also combined all forces that could be combined to suppress Nikola Tesla. If Rock hadn’t brought Nikola Tesla from the United States to southern Africa, Nikola Tesla would have Should have died years ago in a hotel in New York.

Now Nikola Tesla is living well. He lives on a farm in the outskirts of Los Angeles most of the time, walks his dog every day, fishes, grows flowers and plants, and goes to Nyasaland University to teach students a class on a whim. He is a tenured professor at Nyasaland University.

Such a great god, von Braun will definitely visit. His shoulder injury has been treated and he is gradually recovering. Due to his status, he still needs to be supervised by the Southern African Ministry of Defense.

Of course, the supervision here is very loose. Von Braun can move freely. The Ministry of National Defense of Southern Africa kindly provided von Braun with a limousine with a driver and six "guardians".

"Did they manage you as a prisoner?" Tesla was surprised after learning about the situation. The federal government of Southern Africa has great respect for people in the scientific and technological circles.

During the years of World War II, many European scholars came to Southern Africa, and all of them were well taken care of by the Federal Government of Southern Africa. The provision of a car and a driver was only basic treatment. If they were single, they could also help introduce their partners.

"Probably not, according to what they said, I'm on medical parole now—" Von Braun didn't know enough about southern Africa.

Tesla laughed out loud, this "hospital parole" is very spiritual.

This is not nonsense, von Braun is indeed injured, and he is still wearing a plaster cast, which meets the criteria for medical parole.

"Don't worry, southern Africa is a paradise for scientists. Here, you can get everything you want." Tesla didn't draw cakes, and the federal government of southern Africa really put respect into real treatment.

Speaking of respect, the United States also respects scientific researchers on the surface, but the respect of the United States and the respect of southern Africa are two different things.

Tesla did not get any respect from the U.S. government for so many inventions back then. When Edison suppressed Tesla, the U.S. government not only failed to help, but acted as Edison's accomplice.

After Tesla came to southern Africa, the first scientific research plan he proposed was the "remote-controlled heavy unmanned bomber" project.

Others may not know the limits of Tesla's capabilities, but Rock knows more or less.

Remotely controlled heavy-duty unmanned bombers did not appear until the 21st century. Tesla may have this ability, but to realize it, the investment of funds and energy is obviously not proportional to the harvest.

Rock is also a capitalist.

Heavy bombers have long existed in southern Africa, and their range is far enough that they can fly to Europe after refueling halfway from southern Africa.

Until the 21st century, the performance of unmanned aerial vehicles could not be compared with that of real heavy bombers. It is also a fantasy to successfully develop it in the 20th century, not to mention idiotic dreams.

Rock still knows scientific research. Knowing that Tesla's project is a big pit, he jumped into it without hesitation. The investment in these years has already exceeded one billion rand.

It was worth the money. Although the project is unlikely to succeed in a short period of time, the technologies derived from the surrounding area have already brought profits of billions of rands to Rock and Southern Africa.

If it were the U.S. government or U.S. capitalists, would they give Tesla so much money and let Tesla do whatever it takes?

Don't even think about it.

It's okay to succeed, but if it fails, it will be nothing.

Think about how Tesla's Wardenclyffe Tower failed. It was only $15, which had already touched Morgan's bottom line.

Tesla also understands capital, so it only needs $15 from Morgan.

If Tesla had chatted with Morgan about remote-controlled heavy unmanned bombers, he would have been kicked out as soon as he opened his mouth.

Von Braun came to Tesla, hoping that Tesla could give him some advice, and talk about precision guidance technology by the way.

As a result, as soon as Tesla opened his mouth, he was old Versailles: "Isn't it a very simple thing to apply remote control to rockets!"

Is it simple?

For Tesla, it seems to be quite simple. After all, he is an ancient god who started playing remote control in the last century.

But for Germany, tens of thousands of marks were invested, tens of thousands of engineers and technicians worked day and night, and finally produced a semi-finished product.

The remote-controlled bomb that Germany used to sink the "Roma" is essentially the same as the remote-controlled submarine that Tesla demonstrated in 1898.

This is the difference between Xueba and Blood God.

Xueba is to study hard and eventually excel.

The god of learning is beyond the scope of normal understanding, just like math problems, some people are geniuses if they can solve equations, some people do not preview before class every day, do nothing in class, do not do homework after class, and get full marks in the examination room.

Xueba can get full marks in the exam, and it is worth adding chicken legs to dinner.

The reason for getting full marks in the God of Learning Examination is that there are only so many points.

Von Braun is a master of learning, and Tesla is a god of learning.

"There are thousands of us. After nearly two years, we can barely control the direction, and we can't do precise guidance at all." Von Braun was in a bitter mood, so let's take a math problem as an example.

If you are not good at Chinese, you can make it up.

If you can't do math, then you really can't.

"Robert should be able to help you more with this question." Tesla did not explain in detail to von Braun, and the health doctor did not allow it.

Tesla was born in 1856, and now he is 89 years old. The time of visitors must be strictly controlled. Just when Tesla was chatting with von Braun, the health doctor was pinching the watch next to him. .

The protection that people like Tesla receive is unimaginable to outsiders. If possible, Tesla's health care team would like to strictly filter the air that Tesla breathes.

It's almost the same.

Southern Africa has always been known for its beautiful environment, and Los Angeles is particularly strict in this regard, almost as harsh as Pretoria, which is striving to build a tourist city.

To put it this way, in order to protect the air quality, Los Angeles does not even allow the use of large-displacement cars, and the police use electric vehicles to patrol the streets.

Don't doubt, electric vehicles are not uncommon in southern Africa. More than 60.00% of the vehicles used by the police in Nyasaland are electric vehicles.

Nor is it a Southern African maverick.

As early as 1900, the number of electric vehicles in the United States accounted for 30.00% of all vehicles20.00, and the sales of electric vehicles also reached [-]%[-].

Tesla is the ancestor of playing with electricity. In 1899, people began to study artificial lightning, and it was still controllable.

Therefore, in southern Africa, the performance of electric vehicles is also very advanced. Although they are not as convenient as fuel vehicles, they are better in cleanliness and environmental protection.

The farm where Tesla lives is located in a beautiful valley, with rivers, lakes, and forests, like a natural oxygen bar, and the air is similar, not to mention filtered.

"My injury is still not healed, so I can't work." Von Braun also wanted to visit Robert Gedard, but unfortunately he couldn't find anyone.

Unlike Tesla, who has retired to the countryside, Robert Goddard is a well-known workaholic. He is in his 70s and is still struggling in the laboratory.

Now is the critical period of rocket research and development. Robert Gedard probably moved the bedding to the laboratory long ago. Von Braun didn't even know where Robert Gedard's laboratory was.

This is also normal.

The southern African rockets are too advanced to be displayed, and the location of the laboratory must be kept strictly confidential. Even if von Braun wants to visit Robert Goddard, he must first pass the assessment of the Southern African Ministry of Defense.

In Germany, von Braun was the undisputed technological leader.

Well in southern Africa—

The only technological leaders in southern Africa are Tesla and Robert Goddard, and Diesel is half of them.

Robert Goddard's team has brought together the best talents in southern Africa, and the support it has received is no less than that of Tesla. Von Braun's knowledge reserve about rockets is placed in Robert Goddard In the team, it is really not indispensable.

For scientific research, in addition to talent, one must also have strength and enough resources to support scientific research projects.

It should be said that Germany's support for von Braun is not small, as long as it is within its capacity, it basically gives what it wants.

The key is "capability".

There is a clear gap between Germany and southern Africa in terms of resources, financial strength, or talent pool.

When Robert Goddard went to southern Africa, there was no upper limit on funding at all, as much as he wanted.

For important people, Rock directly brought the list of researchers from various universities and scientific research institutions in southern Africa, and let Robert Goddard choose at will.

Can Germany give von Braun this level of support?
Impossible, can't give it, and can't afford it.

So now von Braun is not qualified to see Robert Gedard. The so-called "can't work due to injury" is just an excuse.

Even if von Braun came to Southern Africa, he would at least have to wait for the Southern African Ministry of Defense to confirm von Braun's loyalty before allowing von Braun access to the top secrets of Southern Africa.

Von Braun is not in a hurry either. Since the federal government of Southern Africa has spent such a high price to bring von Braun and his team from Europe to southern Africa, it will definitely not waste von Braun's ability.

So on the car back to Los Angeles, von Braun said confidently to his younger brother Magnus: "Now I have full confidence in the road ahead!"

In Germany, it was a thorny road for von Braun, and it was extremely difficult.

In southern Africa, at least von Braun had the support he wanted.

"I still don't want to go to Cape, I want to stay in Nyasaland." Magnus is nostalgic for the prosperity of Nyasaland, what the hell is Cape, give Magnus a map, Magnus Neither could be found.

Cape Town is actually not bad. As the earliest territory in Southern Africa, Cape Town was once the most prosperous city in Southern Africa. Where is the background?

Of course, it cannot be compared with Nyasaland.

Nyasaland has Los Angeles, Nyasaland Lake, Nyasaland University, Nyasaland Eagles, libraries and cinemas in every corner of the city——

Von Braun and Magnus also went not to Cape Town, but to a small town called Zangwill, where the families of members of von Braun's team were housed.

Von Braun also wanted to stay in Nyasaland.

It's a pity that the land in Nyasaland is too expensive, let alone von Braun, the Southern African Ministry of Defense cannot afford it.

The land price in Cape is much cheaper than that in Nyasaland. Von Braun's team and family members add up to thousands of people, and they need a large area to settle down.

Of course, for von Braun and his team members, Zangwill is not a backcountry. No matter how bad the conditions are, they are better than von Braun's conditions in Germany.

Germany's protection of von Braun's team is also very strict. For the sake of confidentiality, von Braun and his team were simply placed in Peenemunde on the island of Usedom. This ghost place is on the satellite map of the 21st century You can't find it anywhere on the Internet, so you can imagine how remote it is.

Even though Zangwill is remote, Southern Africa has strong construction capabilities. Needless to say, there must be facilities such as libraries and cinemas. Building a city from scratch is not difficult for the Southern African Ministry of Defense.

"When we prove our worth, we will return to Nyasaland." Von Braun also held his breath in his heart, wanting to prove himself.

Although Xueba is not a god of learning, he will not underestimate himself. Everyone has two shoulders and one head, who looks down on others.

Compared with Tesla's true god, von Braun is indeed half a head shorter.

In the field of Rockets, von Braun considers himself as talented as anyone else.

Even Robert Gedard, von Braun wanted to challenge.

To put it bluntly, if von Braun was in Germany and could get the same resources as Robert Geddard, then it would be hard to say whose progress was faster.

Besides, remoteness has its advantages. At least it will not be disturbed by too many worldly desires. Scientific researchers are very able to endure loneliness, otherwise they would not squat in the laboratory every day.
