It doesn't even need to look like a warship. For example, as long as a piece of ice floe on the Arctic Ocean, coupled with the power system, is leveled, it is a good aircraft carrier platform.

The United States does not lack aircraft. Now the P-51 Mustang is also being manufactured on a large scale. What the United States lacks is an aircraft carrier, which is a necessary platform for naval warfare.

However, the ideal is full and the reality is cruel.

Although ice has just those advantages, its disadvantages are also obvious. The strength of ice is not high.

The climate conditions in the Atlantic Ocean are very bad. Ice blocks in the Atlantic Ocean will be hit down by a wave at any time and become two halves, then three and four halves. Therefore, it is impossible to make aircraft carriers.

Roosevelt gave up, but Jeffrey did not give up. Now, he came to report to President Roosevelt and of course found a solution to the problem.

To improve the strength of ice, it is necessary to change the internal structure of ice.

Jeffrey was followed by two famous American scientists, Walter Hornstein and Herman mark.

"Mr. President, after our research, we found that the ice made by adding cotton and fiber to fresh water has good mechanical properties and high strength, which can fully meet the construction needs of aircraft carriers." "We can guarantee that it can withstand the winds and waves of the Atlantic Ocean," Walter said

"How do you prove it?" Asked President Roosevelt.

His eyes were on a wooden box brought by the other party. At this time, Herman was slowly opening the wooden box. The box was also wrapped with layers of quilts. When he opened it, he could see the white air in it.

In fact, it doesn't come out of the inside, but because it's cold inside, when it is opened, the outside air is liquefied to form white gas, which is the same as the white gas breathed out in winter.

When they were opened, two pieces of ice were exposed. One was ordinary ice, clear and transparent, while the other was a frozen turbidity, which looked like frozen cheese.

"We can do an experiment for you on site. Forgive our rudeness. Can you ask your guard to shoot it?" Asked Jeffrey.

To prove whether a thing is hard or not, shooting it is the easiest way.

"Well, let's go to the garden outside." Roosevelt said.

It's not appropriate to shoot here.

So Jeffrey pushed Roosevelt, Walter and Herman in the wheelchair, each holding an ice block, left the room and came to the open space in the garden outside.

Their actions attracted the attention of many people. When they came to the garden, Marshall and others also came to see them.

"You can't use a pistol. Change a rifle." Marshall shouted to the captain with a cigarette in his mouth.

So the captain of Roosevelt's guard changed into a standard rifle and stood about 50 meters away from the ice, ready to shoot.

Roosevelt, in his wheelchair, was also looking at the little ice with expectant eyes. He placed too much hope on it.

"Bang!" The gunshot rang out. With the gunshot, a bullet rotated and hit the small ice. Then, the ice immediately scattered and splashed everywhere.

The crystal clear ice turns into broken ice debris and opens a beautiful flower.

This is ordinary ice. It has no mechanical strength. It is almost broken when touched.

The captain of the guard slowly turned the muzzle and aimed at the second piece, which was the most important. Everyone's eyes were fixed on the ice of the same size and thickness, and on the ice turbid with impurities inside.

"Bang!" The second shot sounded. When the muzzle burst into flames, the bullet also flew onto the ice.

I saw that the ice was pushed back for some time, and at the same time, the bullet flew away.

This thing is even harder than steel. It bounced the bullet away!

"Hey!" At this time, Marshall roared loudly. He followed nervously and lowered his head. His military cap had flown to one side.

Just after the bullet was shot, it rushed towards him. The wise Marshall, an important aide of Roosevelt, almost went to see God in advance because of this accident.

Marshall drew back his head and was really frightened. Just now, the bullet hit his hat, which also gave him a great impact on his head. Sweat swished out of his back.

However, when he saw everyone looking at him, Marshall slowed down immediately. He can't lose face in front of so many people!

So Marshall bent down, picked up his hat, patted the earth and put it on his head again, but there were two bullet holes left on it, which looked very funny.

Marshall strode forward, came to the ice, diverted everyone's attention, and focused on the key projects.

"Well, this ice is really hard." Marshall looked at the front of the ice and left a shallow pit under the impact of the bullet. It can even be said that the pit was not hit, but melted under the impact of the bullet.

This strength is absolutely high enough and is no inferior to that of steel plates of the same thickness.

"We put special cotton and fiber inside, but we have also done other experiments. If we want to further reduce the cost, we can add only the most common sawdust. As long as we build it in cold areas and freeze it for one night." Jeffrey said it easily. From then on, the United States no longer has to worry about the insufficient number of warships. They have the simplest and most economical scheme.

"Come on, let's go to the office and say." Roosevelt's eyes were no longer excited. At this time, his eyebrows wrinkled, as if he had thought of something.

Sure enough, when he returned to the office, Roosevelt spoke again: "our first problem has been overcome. Ice has enough strength to be used as materials for building aircraft carriers. However, we still have new problems. It needs to melt when the temperature is high. How can we overcome this problem?"

If it is built in cold areas, there is no need to consider how to freeze it into ice. For example, in Canada, there are many cold lakes, where it can be made directly by using the local fresh water.

However, it does not only fight in the alpine region, but also in the Atlantic region. How to ensure that this kind of warship does not melt in the sun?

If the mighty fleet set out on an expedition and melted halfway, it will definitely become a joke all over the world.

Roosevelt's concerns were necessary.
