The successful test flight of the Taisite-1 rocket was certainly good news, but it also gave Arthur even greater expectations—namely, the desire to pursue further research into rockets and missiles.

For this reason, Arthur deliberately divided the current rocket research group into two parts. One part was led by Tsiolkovsky and was mainly responsible for improving and developing rockets. It would use the Taisite series as its flagship product, striving to innovate constantly in rocket research and set more records.

The other part was led by Hermann and was responsible for converting existing rockets into missiles for military use, while continuing to innovate.

This also meant that Tsiolkovsky and Hermann's research directions would henceforth be divided into rockets and missiles: one responsible for the military field, the other for the civilian field.

Neither of them had any objection to this division. After all, Tsiolkovsky was already sixty-seven years old, and his primary field of research was rocket theory. He did not have enough energy to convert rockets into missiles as well.

Hermann was different. As a young scientific researcher born in 1894, he was only thirty years old. He was in the prime of his life and had plenty of energy.

Rather than continuing to explore the theories behind rocket development, it would be better for Hermann to focus on converting rockets into missiles and conducting follow-up research on missiles.

After all, he was young, with more energy and more ideas. Perhaps he would create even more ingenious possibilities.

Arthur still had a certain understanding of rockets, and he naturally understood the caliber of the three experts hailed as pioneers of aerospace: Tsiolkovsky, Goddard, and Hermann.

Handing the missile research to Hermann was, at least at this point in time, a relatively reasonable choice.

Arthur did not expect rocket and
