Chapter 658: German-Soviet War (15)

After visiting the rocket, Yannick and others came to the room prepared for him.

"Little Elizabeth, Margaret, take your brothers and sisters to the next room to play for a while, I have something important to discuss with Her Majesty the Queen." After sending the four people out the door, he turned around and saw Queen Elizabeth pointing a shiny fruit knife at him, which scared him. "Damn, what are you doing with a knife?!"

Queen Elizabeth stared at him fiercely, gritting her teeth. "What do you want to do again?!"

Yannick spread his hands. "I do want to do something, but you don't need to react so strongly. Look, we have done it and have children, so what if we do it a few more times?"

"You!" Queen Elizabeth was so angry that she trembled all over. "Shameless!"

Yannick leisurely poured himself a glass of red wine. "I advise you to put down the knife, don't hurt yourself accidentally. If you accidentally hurt me, you should know the consequences. The whole of Britain will pay the price for your recklessness. It is possible that no grass will grow and all lives will be destroyed. The British people have finally escaped the ravages of war. With this commotion, aren't you sending them to hell again?"

Drinking the red wine in the glass in one gulp, Yannick stood up, took off his coat, walked to the bed and sat down. "Don't you think about how many people the British Empire has offended before? Which European country has no grudges against you? France, Italy, and Spain are all eager to tear you into pieces. If it weren't for me, you could still be the queen? You can be the wife of the village chief."

As he spoke, Yannick raised his hand and pointed to the door, and patted the seat next to him. "The door is right there. You can walk out and be an ordinary person who can't be more ordinary; or come here and continue to be your queen. You only have ten seconds to think about it, don't challenge my patience. Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four..."

Dang! The fruit knife in Queen Elizabeth's hand fell to the floor helplessly, and she gritted her teeth and walked to the bedside stiffly. "Then put that on."

Yannick couldn't help but burst out laughing. "Are you afraid of giving birth to twins again?" Seeing Queen Elizabeth's face flushed and her eyes about to spit fire, he shrugged innocently. "But I won't carry that with me, but don't worry, I have medicine here, and you won't get pregnant if you take it."

After saying that, he couldn't wait to throw her on the bed.

Their breathing gradually calmed down, and their hot skin returned to normal body temperature. Queen Elizabeth patted his shoulder anxiously. "Where's the medicine you mentioned?!"

Yannick picked up the phone and asked Anne to send the medicine over.

Anne walked into the room and watched Queen Elizabeth tidying up her clothes in a somewhat embarrassed manner. She slightly suppressed the smile on her face, poured a pill from a medicine bottle and handed it to her. "Here, Your Majesty." She poured her a glass of water and left the room.

Looking at the milky white pill in her hand, Queen Elizabeth looked at Yannick suspiciously. "What kind of medicine is this?"

"It's just the latest contraceptive developed by the empire. Could it be poison?" Seeing her swallow the pill without hesitation, Yannick also straightened his clothes and ordered people to find little Elizabeth and Margaret.

"Didn't you just ask me what a satellite is?" As he said that, he found a notebook and a pen and drew a big circle and a small circle on the notebook. "Just like the moon orbits the earth, so-called artificial satellites are machines launched into orbit. Little Elizabeth, have you learned Newtonian physics? Margaret, you will learn it in the future. If there is no air resistance, when the speed is large enough, the object will never fall to the ground. It will revolve around the earth and become an artificial satellite orbiting the earth, referred to as an artificial satellite."

Little Elizabeth was puzzled. "What is the use of this kind of satellite?"

"There are many uses. Take communication as an example. As long as there are enough satellites in the sky, you can talk to people in any corner of the earth." In theory, only three satellites are needed to cover the world, and each satellite covers an angle of 120 degrees. But in the polar regions, the signal is still very weak, almost non-existent. The real global communication project is multi-star, with equatorial satellites, polar orbits, etc.

"With it, intercontinental calls are no problem. In the near future, satellites will also be able to transmit television signals, so you can watch a football game in the United States while sitting at home."

"If you equip the satellite with a camera or video camera with extremely high resolution, you can take pictures of ground targets, accurately reflect the mobilization and assembly of ground forces and the changes in various military facilities, and easily grasp the enemy's movements."

"And you can also use satellites for positioning and navigation. As long as you hold a satellite signal receiver, you can easily identify the direction and position even if you are in the Sahara Desert."

Queen Elizabeth listened to Yannick's talk about the use of satellites in amazement, and it took her a long time to squeeze out a sentence. "How did you think of all this?"

Yannick couldn't help but smile proudly. "Of course it's my intelligence. But there's more to come. Think about it, since you can send satellites into the sky, why can't you send people up there too? So my next plan is to send people into space, and the next step is to send people to the moon."

The expressions on the faces of Queen Elizabeth and her daughter became more and more shocked. “Sending a man to the moon, decades or centuries later?”

Yannick shook his head. "Tsk, tsk, you underestimate the speed of scientific development." In the original time and space, the first artificial satellite was launched in October 1957, humans flew into space for the first time in April 1961, and humans landed on the moon in July 1969. According to this development progress, this time and space will be able to land on the moon in 15 years at most. "I can guarantee that it will take at least 15 years, and at the fastest, it will take less than 10 years to complete the feat of landing on the moon."

Queen Elizabeth felt as if she was listening to a fairy tale, which was really unbelievable. "Ten years? How much money will be invested?!"

"I don't know exactly, but nearly 10 billion has been invested so far, and another 40 to 50 billion will be invested to complete the moon landing."

The US manned moon landing plan includes three phases. The first phase is the "Mercury Project", which needs to solve the problem of long-term human stay in outer space and return from the moon to the earth's atmosphere, costing about 400 million US dollars; the second phase is the "Gemini Project", which needs to solve the problems of spacecraft docking and astronauts' spacewalks, costing about 800 million US dollars; the third phase is the "Apollo Project", which is to study the manned moon landing problem, costing about 24 billion US dollars.

However, the cost calculated by Yannick is based on the initial rocket development, and this number should be about the same.
