100 engines are densely arranged around the ice carrier? As long as you think about it, you will feel quite unrealistic. Now, when you hear the power problem mentioned by Jeffrey, even the layman Roosevelt knows how big the problem is.

This means that whether the aircraft carrier can cause problems, there are serious problems in the whole project.

If the ice aircraft carrier can not operate normally, it is impossible to guard the Atlantic by relying on the current number of ordinary aircraft carriers, let alone compete for sea power with Germany. Seeing that the Germans are about to fight, this sense of urgency makes people speechless.

Jeffrey looked at Roosevelt's expression and knew that there was a problem. If the project was cut off, his ideal would be dashed. He quickly said, "Mr. President, this is a small problem. We can process it tonight. We can open more holes around the aircraft carrier and install more engines, You can also see the advantages of our ice aircraft carrier. It is very convenient to refit or manufacture. "

Now that you know the mistake, connect with the engine. Anyway, there are still many ready-made engines. Although the hull needs to be changed, the biggest advantage of the ice carrier is that the change is simple. It can be solved with a hot steel pipe.

"Tomorrow morning, we can test sail again." Jeffrey said: "as long as the trial voyage is successful, we can guarantee that at least 100 such Big Macs will be built for the United States in a month."

Hearing this, Roosevelt's eyebrows relaxed. The birth of new things always experienced many failures. Edison invented the electric lamp and experimented with thousands of materials. This super aircraft carrier can't be achieved overnight.

Thinking of the great significance of success to the United States, Roosevelt could only wait again.

"OK, let's stay here for one night." Roosevelt said.

The whole night was tense and busy. The workers worked all night, and Jeffrey and Alexander worked all night to guide improvement.

It's completely different from the design drawings. It's beyond recognition. The excavation of each hole makes it difficult to arrange all kinds of lines in the future, but Jeffrey can't care so much. What's the use if the ice aircraft carrier can't start?

As long as it is verified that 100 engines can make the ice aircraft carrier move, the construction can continue. It is a big deal that the current ship can be used as an experimental ship. Anyway, it is too simple to build.

Jeffrey's eyes were red. At dawn, a monster like a centipede was finally created.

The 900 meter hull has 50 engines on both sides, with an interval of 18 meters. The engine extends seven or eight meters from the side of the hull, just like the legs of a centipede. It looks very different.

All kinds of oil circuits and circuits are still being improved. Roosevelt, who slept in the base all night, was in good shape this morning.

"Mr. President, we'll be back on trial soon." "There's absolutely no problem this time," Jeffrey said

If the power has increased fourfold, I don't believe the ship can't move!

As yesterday, when all the engines were started, the roar rang through the whole lake. In the nervous gaze of everyone, Jeffrey stepped onto the aircraft carrier, stood on the deck and shouted, "sail!"

Today, Jeffrey will be the conductor himself.

With Jeffrey's cry, all engines were raised to the maximum power. The 2000 HP air-cooled engine was roaring, and 100 propellers stirred the sea at full speed. In the backward water flow, we saw the 2 million ton super monster, with its huge body shaking and shaking, and began to move forward.

"It's moving. Sure enough, it's moving. No problem!"

"It's a good way to directly increase the power system!"

After Roosevelt, other aides began to speak. Indeed, when the ice aircraft carrier sailed on the water, it shocked everyone even more.

900 meters long and 100 meters wide, this giant is slowly moving forward. In the full speed work of 100 engines, the giant aircraft carrier is slowly accelerating and accelerating.

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

Now, all the people are patient, watching the Big Mac start moving forward, faster and faster, 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 pipe to vibrate, and the thrust is also transmitted to the hull through the steel pipe.

Roosevelt's attention was focused on the steel pipe. Somehow, he always felt something wrong.

When the camera zoomed in again, sure enough, he saw the problem. The vibration of the steel pipe became more and more intense. Then, water began to seep out at the connection between the steel pipe and the hull.

Roosevelt noticed, and Jeffrey noticed.

At this time, the ship has accelerated to a speed of about 5 knots. If it continues to accelerate, it should reach the theoretical speed of 10 knots. There is no problem.

The power system has been expanded four times, and the demand has been perfectly realized. Although the fuel consumption will be astronomical, it is no problem for an aircraft carrier with 2 million tons to load 100000 tons of aviation fuel? It also happens to use the same fuel as the aircraft, which is convenient for replenishment.

However, when the vibration reached the aircraft carrier and grew larger and larger, Jeffrey had a hunch of something.

"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!" Jeffrey's hand fell on the ice beside him. It hurt. His heart was quite angry. This experiment failed again!

Increasing the number of engines does meet the power requirements, but the heat dissipation of the engine has become a problem again. 100 engines, like 100 ovens, are placed around the ice carrier, accelerating the melting of the ice carrier.

The first is the part of the supporting steel pipe. The heat continuously emitted makes the ice near the steel pipe melt, and the engine can not be fixed. If the vibration is severe, it will cause ice resonance, and the engine will soon fall down.

This problem is more terrible than yesterday's lack of power!
