Chapter 1794 Alternative to Ice Carrier

The duck I got in my hand flew again, and the fat in its mouth fell to the ground. This feeling is the most uncomfortable.

Donovan was in his office and never came out. He was embarrassed until he received a call from the White House, and he had no choice but to walk slowly towards the White House.

Donovan almost had no face to go to see Roosevelt. If he hadn't reported the news excitedly, it would have been better. Obviously he got it, and then he didn't. This is the most depressing thing.

As the weather cooled and the White House became deserted, Donovan walked in and saw other people.

"Sit down," Roosevelt said.

There has been little good news lately, nothing is going well, if the only good thing is that the weather is getting colder and the storms in the Atlantic are starting to get bigger. In this way, the German offensive should be temporarily terminated.

In a big storm, it is not easy for their carrier-based aircraft to take off. Even if they take off, it is not easy to land. The bases in Greenland and Iceland alone cannot complete the task of covering their huge landing groups, so , Don't worry about the Germans continuing to land across the sea for the time being.

This is the only good news, and this good news makes people so speechless.

"I have seen Professor Constant." Hoover said, "He feels that even if he obtains the complete machine, without the craftsmanship and technical information, it cannot be imitated."

Regarding this assertion by Constant, Hoover also found other people. After inference, he believed that it was generally correct. Yes, that's it. It is said that the special high-temperature resistant materials developed by the Germans cannot be copied by themselves unless they know craft.

"So, we can change our thinking. It's impossible to get the whole machine again. Get their technical information, Donovan, are you confident?"

With Roosevelt's questioning, Donovan knew that he could not refuse this matter anyway, and he had no possibility of refusing it.

"Certainly confident, no matter what the cost, we will get their technical data in hand."

In the future, this is an important task of our own Strategic Intelligence Agency. Without jets, the United States will have no future!

The fighter plane has passed in advance, and then, there are many other things.

"Call Alexander in and tell us about the progress of the ice carrier," Roosevelt continued.

Soon, a person walked in, it was the military chief of the ice carrier, Alexander, and Jeffrey did not follow.

Roosevelt wanted to hear good news, but he was mentally prepared.

"Mr. President, everyone, after the last failure, we have gone through many trials, but unfortunately, all failed." Alexander said: "We can't solve the problem of the power system."

Originally thought it was very simple, but with the in-depth research, they discovered that many of the problems were almost insurmountable.

For example, if the engine is placed outside, the heat dissipation problem seems to have been solved. However, to drive 2 million tons of ice cubes forward, the power required is too great. As the power increases, the problem of heat generation will follow. The problem of balancing power and heat effectively.

At the same time, the operation of the engine also brings about bad vibration problems. Cracks will soon appear between the crossbar connecting the engine and the hull of the ice carrier, which will continue to expand and eventually lead to slippage. This is found in the follow-up experiments. .

That is to say, if the voyage continues, within 100 nautical miles, the surrounding engines will all fall off, and the food will be stopped.

After working for a long time, the final result came out. The whole experimental project will eventually be the result of failure. I cannot accept this result anyway.

However, this is the truth, the ice aircraft carrier, it sounds very good, but various technical problems emerge one after another, and it can only end in failure in the end.

"That is to say, the ice aircraft carrier project has to be terminated?" Marshall asked. Although his own investment in the ice aircraft carrier is not the most, his expectations are the greatest. Now, it seems to be in vain.

"Neither," said Alexander. "Mr. Jeffrey has suggested an alternative."

Yes, there are alternative methods, but this method is too frightening, so in the end Jeffrey did not dare to come, and entrusted Alexander to report. Whether it succeeds or not depends on what Roosevelt means.

"any solution?"

"The main problem of the project is the engine. Due to the heat and vibration of the engine, the ice carrier can't bear it. Therefore, the solution is to remove the engine."

Hearing this, everyone took a deep breath and removed the engine. Is that still a boat? Isn't that a piece of ice floes?

Find a piece of ice floe directly from the Arctic Ocean!

"Then how does it start?" General Jin asked, regretting it after asking, but he still asked such a question?

"Find a warship to drag it, even our old-fashioned World War I battleships can drag it." Alexander continued: "In this way, the front and the rear are separated, so you don't have to worry about the power and vibration of the engine. Everything is settled, and the ice carrier continues to exist as the largest aviation base at sea."

"What if there is bad weather?" General Jin continued to ask.

How to overcome bad weather without power? It is very dangerous to carry it by tugboat.

"In bad weather, give up the towing and leave the ice carrier alone." Alexander said: "We don't have to worry about bad weather."

In the event of a storm at sea, the boat will be blown by wind and rain, and there is a risk of overturning at any time. However, those battleships with tens of thousands of tons are as stable as Mount Tai, and the shaking is very small, and the two million tons of ice aircraft carriers are definitely Can easily deal with all kinds of bad weather.

The premise is that it is separated from the towing vessel in front, otherwise, in the storm, the ship in front and the ice carrier in the back will be dumbfounded, which is almost the only thing to worry about.

Alexander's explanation was very brief. Now, if the people present agree, the ice aircraft carrier will soon come out. Canada is icy and snowy, and almost without a refrigerator, the ice aircraft carrier can be frozen out in the inner lake and then towed out by a boat. That's it.

If he does not agree, then the project of the ice aircraft carrier will be a complete failure, the plan will be terminated, and he will return to his original unit.

In short, leave the headaches to these big men, and your mission is over.

Sure enough, after Alexander explained this, everyone present was stunned.

Is it still a warship if it has no power? If this project is denied, then our own surface ships are far from enough.
