The Test-1 Rocket

Time passed in the blink of an eye, and seven years had unknowingly slipped away since the end of World War I.

Military science and technology in various countries developed quite rapidly during World War I, and even after the war, nations maintained corresponding military technology research organizations to continuously update their weapons and equipment.

Whether it was the earlier jet engines and jet aircraft, or the variously improved agricultural products and farming techniques, the Royal Academy of Sciences had a hand in all of them.

Even mineral extraction and smelting, petroleum extraction and refining, and so on relied heavily on technology from the Royal Academy of Sciences.

There was good news for Arthur: the Royal Academy of Sciences had made significant progress in rocket research and was already preparing for the first practical rocket experiment.

Human history in rocketry could be traced back centuries, and the yearning to ascend into the sky had never ceased.

The current head of rocketry research in Australasia was Tsiolkovsky, a renowned pioneer in rocket exploration.

Tsiolkovsky also had a famous assistant—Hermann Oberth, the future father of European rocketry.

The process of Tsiolkovsky's journey to Australasia had already been recounted, and Hermann's journey to Australasia could also be considered quite tortuous.
