Chapter 1705： Fail again

100 engines are densely arranged around the ice carrier? Just think about it for a moment, and you will feel quite unrealistic. Now, when you hear the motivation problem mentioned by Jeffrey, even the layman Roosevelt knows how big the problem is.

This means that whether the aircraft carrier can cause serious problems in the entire project.

If the ice carrier cannot operate normally, it will not be possible to defend the Atlantic Ocean only by the number of ordinary carriers, let alone fight for sea power with Germany. Seeing that the Germans are about to fight, this sense of urgency makes people special The speechless.

Jeffrey looked at Roosevelt’s expression and knew that there might be a problem. If this project was cut off, his ideals would be shattered. He quickly said: "Mr. President, this is a small problem. We will It can be processed. More holes can be opened around the aircraft carrier, and more engines can be installed. It just so happens that you can also see the superiority of our ice aircraft carrier. Whether it is modification or manufacturing, it is very convenient. ."

Now that you know the error, you can install the engine. There are a lot of ready-made engines anyway. Although the hull needs to be modified, the biggest advantage of the ice carrier is that the modification is simple, and it can be solved by a hot steel pipe. Up.

"Tomorrow morning, we can test sail again." Jeffrey said: "As long as the test sails successfully, we can guarantee that at least one hundred such giants will be built for the United States in a month."

Hearing this, Roosevelt's brows relaxed a little. The birth of new things always experienced many failures. Back then, Edison invented the electric light and experimented with thousands of materials. This super aircraft carrier could not be achieved overnight.

Thinking of the great significance to the United States once it succeeded, Roosevelt could only wait again.

"Okay, then we will stay here for one night." Roosevelt said.

The whole night was busy and busy. The workers were working overnight, and Jeffrey and Alexander, who were also working all night, were always making improvements.

It’s completely different from the design drawings. It’s totally unrecognizable. The excavation of various openings makes it difficult to arrange various lines in the future, but Jeffrey can’t take that much anymore. If the ice carrier can’t start, then What's the use?

As long as it is verified that 100 engines can make the ice aircraft carrier move, then construction can continue. The big deal is that the current ship is an experimental ship, anyway, this thing is too simple to build.

Geoffrey's eyes were red, and when the day broke, a monster like a centipede was finally created.

The 900-meter hull has 50 engines on each side, 18 meters apart. The engines protrude from the side of the hull seven or eight meters away, just like the legs of a centipede. It looks very different.

All kinds of oil circuits and circuits are still being perfected nervously. Roosevelt, who slept in the base all night, was in a good condition this morning.

"Mr. President, we will be able to re-test the voyage soon." Jeffrey said: "There will be absolutely no problems this time."

The power has quadrupled, and I don’t believe that this ship can’t move!

Just like yesterday, when the engines were all started, the roar sounded across the lake. Under everyone's nervous gaze, Jeffrey strode onto the aircraft carrier, stood on the deck, and shouted loudly: !"

Today, Jeffrey will personally be the conductor.

With Jeffrey’s shout, all engines were raised to their maximum power. The 2000 horsepower air-cooled engine was roaring, and 100 propellers stirred the sea at full speed. In the backward pushing water, only this 200 was seen. The 10,000-ton super monster, with its huge body swaying, swaying, began to move forward.

"Moved, it really moved, no problem!"

"It is really a good way to directly increase the power system!"

Behind Roosevelt, the other staff members began to speak with one word and one word. Indeed, when this ice carrier sailed on the water, it was a shock to everyone.

900 meters long and 100 meters wide, this behemoth is slowly moving forward, and the giant aircraft carrier is slowly accelerating and accelerating while the 100 engines are working at full speed.

As long as you have the experience of sailing on the sea, you know that sailing on the sea is different from driving on land. For huge ships, acceleration is slow, and it takes even half an hour to accelerate to cruising speed, which is absolutely chronic.

Now, everyone is patient, watching this giant start moving forward, getting faster and faster, getting farther and farther away from them.

Roosevelt took the telescope handed by his assistant and began to capture the lens in the telescope.

The engine is on the side of the hull. The vibration of the engine drives the steel tube to vibrate, and the thrust is also transmitted to the hull through this steel tube .

Roosevelt's attention was placed on this steel pipe, and somehow he always felt something was wrong.

When the lens was zoomed in again, he saw the problem. The vibration of the steel pipe became more and more violent and violent. Then, water began to seep out at the joint between the steel pipe and the hull.

Roosevelt noticed, and Jeffrey noticed too.

At this point, the ship has already accelerated to a speed of about 5 knots. If it continues to accelerate, it should reach the theoretical speed of 10 knots without any problem.

The power system has been expanded by four times, and the demand is perfectly fulfilled. Although the fuel consumption will be astronomical, it is okay to load a 100,000 tons of aviation fuel for an aircraft carrier of 2 million tons? It happens to use the same fuel as the aircraft it is carrying, which is convenient for replenishment.

However, when the shock spread to the aircraft carrier and grew bigger and bigger, Jeffrey already had a foreboding.

"The fixed point near our support rod is melting." A technician hurriedly reported to Jeffrey: "If you continue to accelerate, the support rod may fall."

"Damn it!" Geoffrey's hand hit the ice cube next to him, and it hurt. His heart was quite angry. This experiment failed again!

Increasing the number of engines did meet the power requirements. However, the heat dissipation of the engines has become a problem again. 100 engines, like 100 ovens, are placed around the ice carrier and accelerate the melting of the ice carrier.

The first is the part of the supporting steel pipe. The continuous heat radiated from the steel pipe melted the ice cubes near the steel pipe, and the engine could not be fixed. No matter how violent the vibration, the ice cubes would resonate and the engine would soon fall.

This problem is more terrifying than the lack of power yesterday! 8) For more wonderful novels, welcome to visit everyone's reading academy
