Chapter 1792 The substitute for the ice carrier

The duck that got it flew again, and the fat meat that reached its mouth fell to the ground. This feeling was the most uncomfortable.

Donovan never came out in his office. He had no shame to see anyone. Until he received a call from the White House, he had no choice but to walk towards the White House slowly.

Donovan had almost no face to see Roosevelt. It would have been great if he had not reported the news with excitement. He had clearly got it, but then it had gone again. This was the most depressing thing.

As the climate became colder, the White House became deserted. Donovan walked in and saw others.

"Sit down." Roosevelt said.

There has been almost no good news recently, and nothing goes well. If the only advantage is that the weather has become colder and the storm on the Atlantic Ocean has also begun to grow bigger. In this way, the German offensive should be temporarily terminated.

In the storm, their aircraft carrier-based aircraft is not easy to take off, and even if it takes off, it is not easy to land. It is impossible to cover up their huge landing cluster by relying on the bases of Greenland and Iceland. Therefore, there is no need to worry about the Germans continuing to land across the sea.

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

"I've met Professor Constant," said Hoover: "He felt that even if he obtained the whole machine, he could not copy it without technology or technical information."

Hoover also found other people about Constant's statement. After inference, he believed that it was generally correct and good. That's it. It is said that the special high-temperature resistant materials developed by the Germans cannot be copied by one unless he knows the process.

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

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

"Of course I have confidence that no matter how much the price I pay, we will get their technical information."

In the future, this will be an important task of our own strategic intelligence agency. Without jets, the United States will have no future!

The fighter plane passed in advance, and there were many other things next.

"Call Alexander in and tell me about the progress of the ice aircraft carrier." Roosevelt continued.

Soon, one person walked in. It was Alexander, the military leader of the Ice aircraft carrier, and Jeffrey did not follow him.

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

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

I thought it was very simple, but as the research deepened, they discovered that many of the problems were almost insurmountable.

For example, when the engine is placed outside, the heat dissipation problem seems to have been solved. However, to push 2 million tons of ice forward, the power required is too great. As the power increases, the problem of heating will follow, and it is impossible to effectively balance the power and heat.

At the same time, the operation of the engine also brought about poor vibration problems. Cracks would soon appear between the crossbar connecting the engine and the hull of the ice aircraft carrier, which would continue to expand, and eventually lead to slippage. This was discovered in subsequent experiments.

In other words, if you continue to sail, less than a hundred nautical miles of engines around you will fall off, and then you will be able to stop.

After working on it for a long time, the final result came out. The entire experimental project will eventually be a failure. This result is unacceptable to me no matter what.

However, this is the fact that ice aircraft carriers sound very good, but various technical problems are emerging one after another and end up in failure.

"In other words, the ice aircraft carrier project has to be terminated?" Marshall asked. Although his side invested not the most money in the ice aircraft carrier, his expectations were the greatest. Now, it is about to turn into a bubble.

"Not that," Alexander said: "Mr. Jeffrey has proposed an alternative."

Yes, there are alternatives, but this method is too shocking, so in the end, Jeffrey didn't dare to come and entrusted Alexander to report. Whether it was successful depends on Roosevelt's intention.

"What's the solution?"

"The main problem of the project is the engine. Due to the heat and vibration of the engine, the ice aircraft carrier cannot withstand it. Therefore, the solution is to remove the engine."

Hearing this, everyone took a breath and removed the engine. Is that still a boat? Isn’t that just a piece of ice floe?

Just find a piece of ice floating from the Arctic Ocean!

"Then why does it start to move?" General Jin asked, regretting it after asking. He would still ask such a question?

"Find a warship to drag, even our old battleships can drag it." Alexander continued: "In this way, the front and the back are separated, so there is no need to worry about the engine's power and vibration problems. Everything will be solved, and the ice carrier will continue to exist and become the largest aviation base at sea."

"What if it's bad weather?" General Jin continued to ask.

If you don’t have the motivation, how to overcome the bad weather? It is very dangerous to carry it on a tug.

"When encountering bad weather, give up the traction and leave the ice carrier itself." Alexander said: "We don't have to worry about bad weather."

If you encounter a sea storm, the boat will be blown to the point of storm and will be at risk of overturning at any time. However, those battleships worth tens of thousands of tons are as stable as Mount Tai, with very little shaking, while two million tons of ice aircraft carriers can definitely easily deal with various bad weather.

The premise is to be separated from the towing ship in front, otherwise in the storm, the ship in front and the ice carrier behind will be stunned. This is almost the only thing to worry about.

Alexander's explanation is very brief. Now, if the people present agree, the ice aircraft carrier will come out soon. Canada is icy and snowy, and almost no refrigeration machine is needed, and the ice aircraft carrier can be frozen out in the inner lake and then dragged it out with a boat.

If he disagrees, the ice aircraft carrier project will be completely declared as a failure and the plan will be terminated. He will return to his original unit.

In short, if you leave the headache to these big guys, your task is over.

Sure enough, after Alexander explained these things, everyone present was stunned.

If there is no power, is it still a warship? If this project is denied, then the surface ships on our side are far from enough.
