Long-Range Shipborne Missiles
After traveling for a little over two hours, the group finally reached their destination: the missile and rocket experimental bases on the outskirts of the Capital Special Zone.
Yes, the missile and rocket experimental bases were both located here. They were simply two separate research projects and teams that happened to be adjacent without interfering with each other.
Of course, the initial theories behind rockets and missiles were the same. Many principles and concepts could be applied to both, so there was some communication between the two experimental bases.
It was just that compared with rockets, which leaned more toward civilian applications, Arthur placed greater importance on military-oriented missiles.
But both bases received substantial research funding every year, so Arthur had no reason to favor one at the expense of the other.
Fortunately, missile and rocket experiments required no nuclear weapons. That was why they could be built on the outskirts of the Capital Special Zone instead of being moved deep into the Australasian Great Desert like the nuclear weapons research team.
The nuclear weapons research team was located in Carnegie. A vast desert lay to the north and south, while the east and west were uninhabited highland mountains. For hundreds of miles around, the area was essentially wilderness.
Such terrain was perfect for developing and testing nuclear weapons. Without satellites in the skies of the various countries, they could conduct nuclear tests while keeping them hidden from every nation.
This trip was far more grand than the previous one. In addition to several dozen guards, more than ten senior military officers had come along.
After all, this was a new generation of missile technology. The name "cruise missile" alone sounded impressive, so it was hardly strange that it had attracted these senior military figures.
The only
