Chapter 20 The Most Evil Man in the World
"At that time, Mr. Qian joined the California Institute of Technology."
"Fon Karman took a fancy to Mr. Qian's talent and thought that Mr. Qian was a super genius."
Under the circumstances at that time, a ghost could think that a foreigner had incredible talents.
One can only imagine how talented Mr. Qian was back then.
"In von Kármán's later autobiography."
"Mr. Qian is the only student who asked von Karmen to write a separate chapter to reminisce."
"Von Karman described it this way at the time."
"He is a genius with extraordinary imagination. He is not only very sensitive to numbers, but also has extraordinary mathematical talent."
"It can also describe phenomena and physical laws in the natural world very accurately."
At that time, Mr. Qian was also very famous at Caltech.
Everyone knows that there is such a genius.
Mr. Qian was also an intellectual person at that time and believed that those who studied aviation science should be the geniuses among geniuses.
Or in today's terms, just tired of being stupid.
"If you have watched Qian Lao's autobiographical film, you should know it very well."
"What a genius and proud person Qian was at that time."
"Because of this, Mr. Qian was able to join a mysterious circle."
"The official name of that circle is the 'Small Rocket Engine Research Group'."
"But there is another, more famous nickname."
"Suicide Squad"
After Ye Zhen said it, the audience was shocked.
"Suicide Squad? Why such a name?"
"What kind of circle is this? It's so mysterious."
"Does anyone inside have extraordinary power? Hahahaha."
Now we see how tall the rocket is.
Only the most top scientists have the opportunity to study rockets.
Now we can say that we are inseparable from rockets, whether in military or aerospace.
"Because in the 1930s, rockets were considered very unreliable by everyone."
"It's even something that only exists in science fiction."
"Yes, rockets at that time only appeared in science fiction."
"At that time, the rocket was just a large bomb, there was no difference."
"Every test flight is to detonate a huge bomb."
"You have no idea what the consequences of this detonation will be."
No wonder they are called the Suicide Squad.
The most primitive rockets are indeed so powerful.
"What's the most outrageous time?"
"This experimental team caused a huge explosion."
"Nearly razing the entire Caltech lab to the ground."
"The school is also aware of the dangers of this group of people."
"Invite them out of the school directly, otherwise the school will be bombed at some point."
When they were in school, many students had fantasies about blowing up the school.
Unexpectedly, this fantasy money has been done a long time ago, and it was almost successful.
“At that time, I was ‘invited’ to a canyon to study.”
"Of course it's deserted in the canyon. It's up to you to do whatever you want."
"At that time, the outside world thought that people who studied rockets were crazy. How could this be successful?"
"Those who can join this 'Suicide Squad' are not ordinary people."
"There are people who are influenced by Verne's science fiction novels and want to fly into space."
"And a mad scientist hand-picked by von Kármán himself."
"To be called crazy by Von Karman, think about how crazy it is."
"The most outrageous thing is that there is a person with the most mysterious identity inside."
Ye Zhen deliberately gave this a pass. Qian Lao could enter such an organization. One can imagine what a genius Qian Lao was at that time.
"Don't be so secretive, just tell me."
"What is the identity of the last person?"
"Is it Ultraman?"
"Einstein?"
"You're not a chef, are you?"
"I think it might be an alien!"
Ye Zhen later revealed an identity that everyone thought Ye Zhen was joking about.
"It's a black magician. You heard me right."
"There is a black magician in a fanatical organization that studies rockets."
When they heard the identity of the last person, no one in the audience expected it.
They thought about it a lot, but they never thought of the black magician.
"The name of this black magician is Jack."
Black Magician Jack.
"At that time, he was still a core member and was responsible for rocket fuel research."
Rocket fuel has always been the most critical technical difficulty in rockets.
This is true until now.
What's more, at that point in time that year.
Rockets are even more of a product of science fiction.
No one knows what the best rocket fuel is.
"The black magician Jack tried a lot of fuel back then."
"Black powder, propane, nitrogen trichloride, fuming nitric acid, water-washed coal and other fuels."
Just hearing the names of these things makes me feel dangerous.
No wonder he is considered crazy by outsiders.
Only the craziest people would study this kind of thing.
“Fuel was a big problem at that time.”
"In the end, Jack really solved it."
"Yes, it was solved using black magic."
Using black magic to develop rockets?
This sounds like something that would not be written in even some third-rate novels.
If I write it, I will definitely be criticized by readers!
But this fact happens in the real world.
The real world is often more magical than we imagine!
"Jack's scientific mentor was von Karman."
"But it's just scientific."
"And Jack has another teacher in magic."
"One of the most famous psychics in the modern history of Ying Kingdom.
Also known as the most evil man in the world.
Some people even call him the "King of Beasts" or the "Beast of the Apocalypse"
He is the dark wizard Aleister Crowley. ”
Speaking of this, there is actually a piece of trivia that everyone doesn’t know.
In 1882, Yingguo established the world's first scientific institution to study supernatural phenomena.
Britain’s Society for Psychical Research (SPR).
The famous Japanese female suspense novelist Yumi Ono selected real events recorded in the SPR archives and adapted them into the fantasy novel "Evil Hunter".
As for the branch established in the United States, Jung and Freud are their honorary members.
A firm requirement for membership is not an unwavering belief in the existence of the supernatural.
SPR does not care about members' personal views on supernatural phenomena. It only hopes to peel off the mystery of supernatural phenomena and find a relatively scientific outlet for them through members' collection, investigation, and research of supernatural phenomena.
"Jack is Crowley's beloved disciple."
"And inherited Crowley's various magical rituals and alchemy-related knowledge."
alchemy? Is it related to alchemy again?
