Preston hung up the phone and looked at the others in the conference room. "Do I need to call anyone else?"

Just now on the phone, the Minister of construction hoped that he could find out what others said.

In fact, it is not strange that the construction minister can have such "full" trust in Preston.

First of all, what he inquired about was not top secret news from a certain point of view, and soon those in the Privy Council would know.

When the Privy Council knows, it means that the whole people of gavra know that this is not something that needs to be kept secret. Even the construction minister himself does not believe it is true.

As the Minister of the army said in the hall of the ruler, the conditions for aircraft to take off are not available on the stormy sea, let alone the heavy weight of the ship can hold down the waves.

Isn't the battleship heavy enough to hold the waves?

When the wind and waves are strong, they will also be affected.

Battleships are affected. It's not a big problem. The runway is affected. A little turbulence is enough to crash an aircraft on the deck!

This is no joke. Even the smooth land runway may crash, let alone the undulating ship deck, so everyone doesn't think it's true.

Besides, if Preston was really caught by the feds, would they call him? His voice sounded lazy.

The construction minister can even imagine that the son of a bitch must be talking to him on the phone while basking in the sun.

Gavra, an overseas Island, has many geographical advantages and many bad places. For example, the air is too humid.

If he can find out the attitude of others for himself and reveal some unimportant content, it will not be a big thing.

People who got the news in such a simple way thought it was incredible. They thought it should be so difficult that it might make Preston suspicious.

They really didn't expect that it would be so smooth that they began to doubt whether the news was true or whether it would be a smoke bomb released by the gavra people?

The people in the room discussed. Since the Construction Minister thought Preston was not exposed, let him do what he should do.

Then every time he made a phone call, the other party did not welcome his sudden call, but he seemed reluctant to talk more about the air force minister.

Everyone has their own ideas and has an attitude of "I may be OK". Even if they know that they are hopeless, they will not make an early statement.

Attitude is very valuable. If you want to get their attitude, you have to spend money or exchange benefits.

Preston soon ended the exchange of information. He skillfully handled everyone's relationship and even promised to give them some small gifts later. This is also a way to maintain mutual friendship.

After doing all this, he happily returned to his room. After glancing at the big prince, he lay on the couch and began to bask in the sun.

The big prince didn't know what had happened. He looked at Preston calmly and suddenly asked a question, "are you willing?"

Preston didn't think that the big prince would take the initiative to talk to himself. He was stunned for a while and then reacted, "if you don't want to, do you have any way to get rid of what we are going through?"

"After you go out, the person who counterfeits you will want to kill you, the federates will want to kill you, and anyone who knows you will want to send you back."

"What's the point if you're willing or unwilling?"

The big prince clenched his fist and loosened it again. "I know what you said, but I'm just unwilling. It shouldn't be like this."

Preston had just spoken for a long time to satisfy his desire to speak, and now he didn't want to speak so much.

After squeezing out a syllable from his nose, he put on his sunglasses again and listened to the radio while basking in the sun.

On the other side, the news about "sea fortress" and "Air Force minister" has been submitted layer by layer.

When the Ministry of defense and the strategic command received the news, representatives and engineers of warship manufacturers led by Shep ships were invited to the Ministry of defense for a meeting.

Before four o'clock in the afternoon, everyone from the largest shipyard in the Federation came.

"We intercepted some top secret information from gavra, in which we found a new warship plan called 'sea Fortress'."

"They plan to build an aircraft runway that can sail at sea. Is it possible?"

The lieutenant general who presided over the meeting asked in a very serious and serious voice, "from a technical point of view."

These people in the shipping company were surprised at first, and then the engineers began to make some assumptions and calculations quickly. In only a few minutes, they came to the same answer——

This question should be asked to aircraft manufacturers, not to them.

Then, at 4:30, Lynch came to the office and his chief engineer.

The lieutenant general repeated what he had said. Finally, he asked, "is it possible for the plane to take off and land under such circumstances?"

Before Lynch could answer, the chief engineer shook his head, "it's very difficult."

Everyone's eyes focused on him. During this period of time, the chief engineer was not as stage fright as he was for the first time.

Senior officials of the Ministry of defense and military generals often ask him to talk about some parameters and the feasibility of some ideas. He has become like a successful person.

Shaking his head, he said, "what the plane needs to take off is steady thrust and upward lift. When the speed is not fast enough, we need to use the runway to complete the whole acceleration process."

"If the runway is uneven or bumpy, under our current technology, the aircraft will have an obvious downward impact process when the acceleration is not enough."

"In this way, we have only two results. The first is that there are accidents such as deviation or even crash. The second is that we can't take off even if we rush out of the runway, because we are always hovering in the cycle of effective acceleration and ineffective acceleration."

"As for landing...", he thought for a moment. "The risk of crash will be several times that on land."

Lynch quietly rubbed the joint of his index finger with the thumb of his right hand, which was a small action he would do when he was very satisfied.

If the aircraft carrier is born now, who will pay for his "island chain" plan?

This is a big project with a budget of more than one billion, and his income will be equally appalling. For this money, even if the aircraft carrier can be born now, it must be put into the water, and the aircraft carrier will be born after the allocation of the island chain reaches the third or fourth phase.

Of course, if the aircraft carrier cannot come out prematurely due to technical problems, it does not need to add some additional irresistible force.

The question went back to the original place. The lieutenant general looked at the people of the shipping companies, "can you make the hull not fluctuate violently?"

"If you can make the ship as smooth as the flat ground, does that mean that the plane can take off and land on the deck?"

The lieutenant general looked at the chief engineer beside Lynch, who nodded.

So the pressure returned to the shipping company.

After more than half an hour of discussion, we didn't get any valuable results. As long as the ship travels on the sea, it is impossible not to shake and fluctuate.

Battleships are big enough to rise and fall with the waves, which can't be avoided.

Finally, Lynch summed it up - let's go back and develop our own technology, and then talk about it later.

On the way back, the chief engineer suddenly said, "in fact, we can do it."

Lynch looked at him. "What can we do?"

"To take off and land on a slightly bumpy runway, just change the structure of the landing gear a little."

Then the chief engineer and Lin Qi talked about the method of this change, "our carriage has a perfect damping function. Although the effect seems not so obvious, it is really useful."

With his pen and paper, he briefly explained the method. As long as the weight borne by the spring is greater than the weight of the aircraft and the pilot at standstill, there will be no big problem in case of turbulence during flight.

The contraction and tension of the spring can improve these problems. Of course, the actual situation needs special experiments. The chief engineer believes that these are not problems.

Lynch looked at the drafts and asked an irrelevant question, "why didn't you say it at the meeting?"

The chief engineer thought, "because we can't solve the problem of takeoff distance."

"At present, the longest battleship in the Federation is no more than 300 meters, which means that our aircraft has to accelerate and take off on a runway of about 200 meters. We can't do it."

Lynch immediately understood what the chief engineer meant. The bumpy problem is easy to solve, but the problem of insufficient takeoff distance is difficult to solve.

The former can be done anytime, anywhere, while the latter is not so easy.

The latter problem cannot be solved, and the former problem is difficult to solve!

He is smart and knows how to deal with "customers", which is why Lynch chose him.

In fact, from Lynch's point of view, this problem is not a big problem. The problem that can be solved as long as you keep throwing money is not a problem.

He vaguely remembered something called ejection start

The results of the meeting of experts from the Ministry of defense were not so positive. Subsequently, the military intelligence bureau and the Security Committee launched some spies deep in gavra and asked them to get the design drawings of the "maritime fortress" and the design drawings of Shipborne aircraft as soon as possible.

For these two things, you can do anything!

At the same time, major shipbuilding companies have also received new R & D projects from the Ministry of defense. They need a maritime runway.

Lynch's Flight Research Institute has received the research topic of "how to take off and land on the bumpy sea runway", and there is no specific upper limit of funds!
