Building Warships in the Game - Chapter 142
At this time, Falcon had glided to the bottom of the magnetic firing device.
A pilot in the plane gave a thumb up to the outside.
This expression showed that the plane could take off at any time.
Then, the voice of the pilot came from the command center, “Report to the command center, Falcon is ready!”
“It’s time to take off!” The commander gave an order.
Then, the plane let out a roar and started the engine.
“Boom! Boom!”
The tail of the fighter suddenly spurted orange flames, and at the same time, the engine spurted flames.
The pilot quickly pulled up the handle.
Then, the pilot felt a huge thrust coming from behind.
Then, under the thrust of the engine and the thrust of the magnetic shooting device, the fighter suddenly rushed forward.
Falcon quickly rushed out of the deck, and then it jumped up and flew towards the sky.
“It flies out!”
All the military officers in the stands stood up and looked at the plane flying far away in the sky.
“Does this mean success? Our magnetic firing device has succeeded?”
“It seems so! Otherwise, how could the fighter fly up to the sky in such a short distance?”
Just as the military officers were not sure whether the experiment was successful or not, a dozen of engineers under the grandstand suddenly cheered up.
They hugged each other and cheered.
Like a group of children who had got candies.
Seeing this scene, the officers knew that the experiment had succeeded! They also began to cheer!
“It worked!”
“We made it!”
“Great!”
Then, the voice of a pilot came from the command center again, “Report to the command center! Everything is fine with Falcon!”
Then, Allen heard the engineer’s voice, “Command center, the test of the magnetic firing device is successful! Everything goes well!”
“Our experiments have achieved the expected results! The experiments of the magnetic firing device have succeeded!”
Allen could tell from the engineer’s voice that they were very excited!
They were both excited and excited.
Allen clenched his fists. He was also excited.
The first experiment of magnetic firing device succeeded!
This could be said to be an important achievement in the construction of the aircraft carrier.
The magnetic firing device was a piece of necessary equipment for a qualified aircraft carrier. Without this kind of device, the power of the airplane of the aircraft carrier fleet would have decreased a lot.
At the same time, in addition to the successful test of the magnetic firing device, there was a steel plant hundreds of kilometers away.
There was also good news.
In the steel plant, hundreds of engineers were all here, wearing safety helmets.
A test was going on.
What they were testing was the strength of the aircraft carrier’s steel on the deck.
This kind of steel was a special kind of steel developed by them recently.
This steel plant was mainly responsible for the steel production of the aircraft carrier.
They also had to develop and design this new type of steel. Of course, they couldn’t complete this work only by relying on the steel plant.
Allen was also responsible for assisting in the production of steel.
He mainly provided the necessary design methods and drawings for the steel plant, so that the work of the steel plant would be alleviated a lot.
Steel was essential for the aircraft carrier.
It was like building a house without bricks.
Bricks were the most basic thing to build a house, and steel was also the most basic thing to make an aircraft carrier.
Without this kind of special steel, it was equivalent to building a house without bricks. It was impossible to complete the task.
At present, Bama State could not produce the steel needed by the aircraft carrier at all.
What the special steel aircraft carrier required was completely different from that of ordinary ships.
There were many differences in their sizes and the difficulty of making them.
The aircraft carrier not only required much more steel than ordinary ships.
What’s more, the ordinary aircraft carrier’s steel must have several characteristics, such as firmness, tenacity, low magnetic property, corrosion resistance, and longer service life.
Among these characteristics, firmness was the most important.
Steel couldn’t be used on the aircraft carrier without qualified strength.
The steel used in the aircraft carrier was much better than that of an ordinary warship.
As long as the strength of an ordinary warship was good, they didn’t need a fighter to rise and fall on it.
Naturally, the quality of the products would be greatly reduced.
But the aircraft carrier was different. Fighters need to rise and fall on its deck many times.
Therefore, the deck had to bear the impact and friction brought by the fighter.
At the same time, when the plane took off and landed, the high-temperature flame spurted from its tail could cook the steel on the deck.
This required the steel to be able to withstand very high temperatures.
This kind of high temperature usually reached several thousand degrees.
Therefore, generally speaking, the strength of the steel on the deck should be able to withstand the weight of five to eight tons per centimeter.
From this point, it could be seen that the steel required for the aircraft carrier was very strong.
At this time, in the field, engineers were testing the steel data.
“The firmness is 1,000MPa! It’s up to standard!”
“The heat resistance is 2,000! It’s up to standard!”
“The friction factor is 0.7! It’s up to standard!”
As the engineers reported all the data, everyone knew that the steel’s strength had reached the standards required by the aircraft carrier!
All the data had met the requirements.
The steel experiment on the deck of the aircraft carrier was successful!
“We made it!”
“Steel is here! We can start building the aircraft carrier!”
“Cheer up, my friends! This is your day!”
All the engineers cheered loudly. This scene was very similar to the test field of the magnetic firing.
In the production factory of the steel plant, cheers were heard.
The steel of the aircraft carrier was successfully developed.
In the past two months, the hard-working sweat of nearly hundreds of engineers finally paid off.
Although the design drawing of the steel plant was provided by the senior military officer, it also increased the production capacity of the steel plant.
Originally, to produce this kind of qualified steel, the steel plant still needed to overcome more than a dozen restrictions of technology.
Just as all the engineers didn’t know what to do, the army suddenly sent a production drawing.
This design had solved all the problems encountered in the steel plant.
It could be said that without this drawing, the steel of the aircraft carrier could not be produced at all.
At the same time, with the production technology in the drawing, the production level of the whole steel plant had been improved a lot.
Obviously, this design drawing was provided by Allen.
