Chapter 1792: An alternative to ice carrier

The duck in hand flew again, and the fat in its mouth fell to the ground. This feeling is the most uncomfortable.
Donovan hadn't come out in his office all the time. He had no face to meet people, until he received a call from the White House, he had no choice but to walk slowly towards the White House.
Donovan almost had no face to go to see Roosevelt. It would be great if he hadn't reported the news with excitement. Obviously he got it, and then no more. This is the most depressing.
As the weather got colder, the White House became deserted, and Donovan walked in and saw the others.
"Sit down," Roosevelt said.
There has been almost no good news recently, and everything is not going well. If the only advantage is that the weather is getting colder and the storms on the Atlantic Ocean are starting to get bigger. In this way, the German offensive should be temporarily stopped.
In a big storm, their carrier-based aircraft are not easy to take off. Even if they take off, they are not easy to land. The bases in Greenland and Iceland alone cannot complete the task of covering their huge landing clusters, so For the time being, don’t worry about the Germans continuing to land across the sea.
This is the only good news, and this good news makes people so speechless.
"I have met Professor Constant." Hoover said, "He felt that even if the whole machine was obtained, there was no craftsmanship and technical information, it would not be able to imitate it."
Regarding Constant's thesis, Hoover also contacted others. 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 himself unless he knows Craft.
"So, we can change our thinking. It's impossible to get the whole machine anymore. Get their technical information, Donovan, are you confident?"
Following Roosevelt’s questioning, Donovan knew that he could not refuse this matter anyway, and that he could not refuse.
"Of course I have confidence, no matter what the price is, we will get their technical information in hand."
In the future, this will be an important task of its own Strategic Intelligence Agency. Without jets, the United States would have no future!
The warplane passed in advance, and then there are many other things.
"Tell Alexander to come in and talk about the progress of the ice carrier." Roosevelt continued.
Soon, a person walked in, it was Alexander, the military chief of the ice carrier, and Jeffrey did not follow.
Roosevelt wanted to hear good news, but he was mentally prepared.
"Mr. President, everyone, we have gone through many trials after the last failure, but unfortunately, we all failed." Alexander said: "We can't solve the problem of the power system."
I thought it was simple, but with the deepening of the 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 push 2 million tons of ice cubes forward, too much power is needed. As the power increases, the problem of heat generation will follow, and it is impossible to Effectively balance power and heat issues.
At the same time, the operation of the engine also brings bad vibration problems. Cracks will soon appear between the crossbar connecting the engine and the hull of the ice carrier, which will expand and eventually lead to slippage. This was discovered during subsequent experiments. .
In other words, if you continue to sail, the surrounding engines will fall within less than a hundred nautical miles, and you will stop cooking.
After working for a long time, the final result came out. The entire experimental project will eventually be the result of failure. I cannot accept this result anyway.
However, this is the fact that the ice aircraft carrier sounds very good, but various technical problems have emerged one after another, and it can only end in failure.
"In other words, the ice aircraft carrier project must be terminated?" Marshall on the side asked. Although his own investment in the ice aircraft carrier is not the most, but the expectation is the greatest. Now, it seems to be vanished.
"Nor." Alexander said, "Mr. Jeffrey proposed an alternative."
Yes, there are alternative methods, but this method is too shocking, so in the end Jeffrey did not dare to come, and entrusted Alexander to report. It depends on Roosevelt's meaning.
"any solution?"
"The main problem of the project is the engine. Because of the heat and vibration of the engine, the ice carrier cannot withstand it. Therefore, the only 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 floating ice directly from the Arctic Ocean!
"Then how did it start?" General Jin asked, regretting it after asking, but he still asked such a question?
"Find a warship to tow~EbookFREE.me~ Even our old World War I battleships can tow it." Alexander continued, "In this way, the front and back are separated, so you don’t have to worry about the engine. The problems of power and vibration are solved. The ice aircraft carrier continues to exist, becoming the largest aviation base on the sea."
"What if it is bad weather?" General Jin continued to ask.
If there is no motivation, how to overcome bad weather? Carrying on a tugboat is very dangerous.
"In case of bad weather, then give up towing and leave the ice carrier itself." Alexander said: "We don't have to worry about bad weather."
In the event of a sea storm, the boat will be shaken by wind and rain, and there is a risk of capsizing at any time. However, the battleships of tens of thousands of tons are as stable as Mount Tai with little shaking, and the ice carrier of two million tons is definitely Can easily deal with all kinds of bad weather.
The premise is to be separated from the towing ship in front, otherwise, in a storm, the ship in front and the ice carrier behind will be dumbfounded. 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. In Canada’s icy world, almost without the use of refrigerators, the ice aircraft carrier can be frozen out of the inner lake and then towed out by a boat. That's it.
If he doesn't agree, then the Ice Aircraft Carrier project will completely fail, the plan will be terminated, and he will return to his original unit.
In short, leave the headaches to these big shots, and 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 you deny this project, your own surface ships are far from enough.
