In the Arctic Ocean, there are large blocks of ice floating in the Arctic Ocean, so no one will associate the South Atlantic with the code name Operation Ice Block, a pun intended.

With Ciric's clapper, Operation Ice began, and on top of the previous plan, detailed revisions were made, taking into account various other conditions, in preparation for this cross-sea landing.

And during this time, it was time for the Navy to shine again and land in Greenland.

Canada, Lake Patricia under the Rocky Mountains.

On the majestic high mountains, covered with ice and snow, Hubo here is an authentic moraine lake.

At this time, on this calm lake, a huge ship is under construction.

Unlike the previous shipyards, there are no arc sparks, no huge lifting cranes, and only large refrigerators here.

At this time, the refrigerator is running at full power, and huge ice blocks are gradually forming.

Ordinary ice cubes are crystal clear, but the current ice cubes have countless impurities suspended inside, which is where the real top secret of the ice aircraft carrier lies.

Adding wood chips to the water, a simple raw material, can greatly increase the strength of the ice!

Jeffrey wore a hard hat and a coat, looking at the busy scene, very satisfied, he was a genius engineer, thinking of such a genius plan, history, will remember him!

Ice aircraft carriers, an invention across the ages.

In the past, the original idea was that Jeffrey had planned to find a suitably sized iceberg, chisel it into the shape of a ship, wrap it in wood on the outside to prevent it from melting too quickly, and hollow out the inside to store military supplies. The top of the iceberg is flattened into a runway, thus becoming a floating airport.

However, he soon discovered that the ice was too brittle to support the planes to take off and land, so he began researching new ways to add something else to the fresh water, reducing the thermal conductivity of the ice, slowing the rate of melting, and greatly improving the strength and toughness of the ice to bring it closer to concrete.

What's more, the current United States needs ice aircraft carriers, otherwise, his project simply will not find enough investment.

A few days ago, the small-scale model was built, and after testing it to the departments of the Navy, everything met their needs, so the planned 2 million ton aircraft carrier began to be built.

The US Navy is running out of time, and after the bankruptcy of their plans to delay the German Navy, only a large number of naval warships remain.

Aircraft carriers, it is a must, the existing shipyards of the US Navy, there are simply not enough, and the progress is too late.

Now, the construction of this ice aircraft carrier has already begun, and if there is no problem, the Navy will invest more money and build it in a short period of time, in large quantities.

Ordinary ship construction is complex, it is necessary to press steel plates into various shapes and then weld, while in the case of ice aircraft carriers, only ice cubes need to be built.

In the shell made of wooden planks, fresh water mixed with wood chips is injected, and the refrigeration machine is used to cool it, and the fresh water is turned into ice cubes, so that discrete parts are made.

Compared to a welded hull, just put two ice cubes together and freeze the contact surfaces to connect.

This kind of efficiency is the highest, if it were not for taking care of the working environment of the workers, the construction work in Canada closer to the Arctic, even the refrigerator was not used, the mold was just put away, watered, and it would have come out in a few hours.

"Our ships will be able to build their silhouettes in two days." Next to Jeffrey was the military head of this program, Alexander.

Alexander, a civilian in the military with deep knowledge of warship construction, was also excited to be in charge of the project.

"All kinds of equipment needed for the ship are being transported by road." Alexander said: "This huge aircraft carrier, we have to install 26 propeller thrusters, and even then, it can only propel the aircraft carrier to a speed of ten knots, which is very slow for our fleet. ”

2 million tons, an astronomical displacement, if it can be built, will be the largest ship in the hands of mankind, if there is a flaw, it is speed.

Ordinary warships can fly to a speed of about 30 knots, this kind of ice aircraft carrier is too slow in the fleet, and other warships will follow it slowly, and those captains will definitely complain.

"Yes, speed is not our strong suit, capacity is what we need." "I've heard that the bomber unit is also interested, and they've started to practice how to take off and land at 900 meters," Jeffrey said. ”

What aircraft carrier can carry bombers? Even if the bombers dispatched when they retaliated against the island countries, they could only take off, not land, and now, this kind of aircraft carrier can fully meet the take-off and landing of bombers.

This one is enough, and the disadvantage of slow speed is not a disadvantage at all.

As he was talking, in the distance, on the winding and undulating mountain road, the peaks turned around, and a transport convoy arrived.

"The engine has arrived, it's good, let's install it as fast as we can!" Jeffrey said excitedly.

The characteristic of the ice aircraft carrier is that it can change its shape at any time, and at this time, the ice cubes that have been frozen have initially shown the outline of the first half of the aircraft carrier, and many places are irregular, just wait for the repair type.

The trimming is also very simple, just take the baking lamp and bake it, which is quite easy.

Now, the various cabins inside can be saved for later, and what is needed can be built, and if the structure is not suitable, it will be melted and re-frozen, which is the best performance of ice cubes, and you can have what you want.

The casing was built, the engine was installed, and the performance was tested in the lake.

Ordinary ships are the overall power compartment, and the propellers are in the tail, which is also the most suitable way after hundreds of years of development, but the current ice aircraft carrier does not use this way.

According to Jeffrey's design, the power of the ice aircraft carrier, on both sides of the outboard, hangs the engines, each engine, drives a propeller, so that the biggest advantage is that it is easy to operate.

"Because our needs are urgent, we can't find a suitable engine, so we can only use the star-shaped air-cooled engines on the fighter jets, each with a power of 2,000 horsepower." Alexander said.

For aircraft carriers, the most suitable power is the boiler, burning heavy oil, which is the cheapest raw material, but it is not suitable for ice aircraft carriers, as long as you think about it, you will know what the outcome will be if you put a boiler in the ice.

Ice aircraft carriers, never sink, will only melt slowly, and if boilers are used, then they will sink very quickly.

Aero engines, which burn gasoline, consume the most, and only the current United States, regardless of the cost, dares to use it like this.

"Then put it on!" Jeffrey rubbed his hands together and exhaled puffs of white air. He didn't care what fuel he had.
