The United States has a strong industrial capacity, and although the United States is an emerging country, this characteristic is quite scary.

At the beginning, Pheasant 56 tried his best to avoid war with the United States, because he knew that the Americans were terrible, and once the Americans entered war mode, any weapons would be burst out in unison.

The island countries have accumulated weapons for more than ten years, and they have been exhausted in a few battles, but the United States can maintain a strong industrial production capacity in the war, and in addition to its own use, it can also support Europe, this is the gap.

Now, the U.S. industry has entered a state of full speed, and the war machine is in motion, which is quite terrifying, although the shipyards along the coast have been hit, but the aviation capability has been steadily improving, such as the B-29, this strategic bomber, the United States has been continuously producing, has been equipped with hundreds.

Now, the engines from the B-29 are used on the aircraft carrier.

Marine and aircraft are actually different, but in order to reduce the volume of the power system, this engine can only be used.

One by one, the brand-new engines were dismantled from the wooden box, and the workers began to install them.

On the side of the ship's side, make a hole.

If it were an ordinary ship, it would have required a huge drill bit, but now, all it takes is a red-hot steel pipe, and when the steel pipe is stuffed in, the ice cube melts quickly with the steel pipe as the center, and at the same time, the steel pipe is also violently cooling, and soon, a circular hole appears.

Through the hole, install special brackets, fix the engine, connect various pipelines, connect the drive shaft, and drive the propeller below the rear, the workers took half a day to complete the installation of an engine.

Yes, the engine is mounted on the outside of the hull, which is also very well considered.

When the engine is working, it is to release heat to the outside world.

Even in later generations, the thermal efficiency of the best internal combustion engine is less than 40%, which means that 60% of the energy burned by fuel is dissipated into the surrounding air in the form of heat.

Therefore, when any engine is working, it must heat up, which is the dissipation of energy. (In technical terms, it should be called entropy.) ）

On ordinary ships, the dissipation of heat does not matter, the big deal is that the sailors in the engine room work with open arms and fan hot, but on this ice aircraft carrier, it is different.

If the heat is concentrated in the interior of the hull, it won't be long before the ship melts.

After the ice aircraft carrier is built, the parts that come into contact with the sea water will definitely melt slowly, but as long as it is within a certain limit, such as going to sea at a time, melting a few centimeters, it is acceptable, and it will be frozen again when you come back.

But if the engine is built-in, then the heat is dissipated from the inside out, not to mention anything else, after going to sea for a few days, the engine room melts, how can there be a war?

Jeffrey was most proud of this layout, which he personally designed the structure, with an externally discrete engine.

In addition to avoiding melting, another advantage is that once it is attacked, all power is not lost, and even if there are only three or five engines left, it can be driven back slowly, so as not to become a coffin floating at sea.

The engines were quickly installed, and when the outer protective cover was added, the lines were smooth and showed a unique beauty.

One day, two days, three days, and by the afternoon of the third day, the whole ship was built.

"We will create the miracle of this era." Jeffrey looked at the tall hull and said to Alexander: "Even the fastest escort aircraft carrier takes more than two months to build one, but now, our ice aircraft carrier, in just a week, can complete the hull construction, only outfitting remains, if necessary, it can be operational at any time." ”

When the hull is launched, it is quite time-consuming to outfit, and even some ships have to be used for a year on the slipway, and it takes a year for outfitting, and the power system test or something has to be tossed for a long time.

But ice aircraft carriers don't need so much.

It is more of a mobile sea base than an aircraft carrier.

Ordinary aircraft carriers, 30,000 tons is a giant, the current aircraft carrier, is 2 million tons, now, this 900-meter-long aircraft carrier, in fact, can not be called an aircraft carrier, it is completely a military base.

In the huge volume, there can be plenty of space to place all kinds of equipment, unlike a small ship, more like an ordinary land base, there are many rooms inside, and you can arrange it however you want.

Ice house, the inside can also be very warm, for example, Eskimos, don't they live in the ice house?

So, now that the hull has been built, it's basically ready for sea trials.

If there is no problem with the sea trial, you can start and go, and you don't need outfitting.

This kind of aircraft carrier, not called outfitting, is called decoration is almost the same, just in the long process of its journey to the base, send some decoration workers up, bring all the tools and materials, you can carry out decoration, to the destination, just completed.

The two were staring at the giant aircraft carrier when they heard hurried footsteps.

"Report, President Roosevelt, came with the top of the White House, and they wanted to see the progress of our aircraft carrier."

Is President Roosevelt coming?

The two turned their heads curiously, and just outside the construction site, several sedans were driving smoothly over, looking ordinary.

The president's trip must have been kept secret in advance, and it was impossible to inform them, but now, the president is here, which makes them very excited.

The car quickly drove over, and when the car stopped, the bodyguard quickly took out the wheelchair behind him and helped Roosevelt get out of the car.

Roosevelt did not sit in a wheelchair, but on crutches, looking at the huge warship on the lake.

Spectacular, majestic, no adjective can accurately describe it, its appearance, enough to be a huge iceberg.

When he heard that an aircraft carrier had been built here, Roosevelt couldn't wait to come over, and in his heart, if the United States wanted to win, it could only rely on these brain-opening equipment.

If it could not have sea supremacy, then the defeat of the United States would be appropriate, and the shipbuilding industry of the United States had suffered a blow, and it was not able to destroy the shipbuilding industry of Europe, and the ice aircraft carrier became even more urgent.

"Mr. President, our first aircraft carrier has completed the construction of its hull and is preparing for sea trials." Jeffrey proudly reported to Roosevelt.

The aircraft carrier is in front of them, and when these visitors see the aircraft carrier, everyone's eyes widen, and they are absolutely shocked, who has ever seen a big guy of two million tons?

It's even better, but it's still to come!
