The Third Reich - Chapter 1703

The United States has strong industrial capabilities. Although the United States is an emerging country, this feature is quite terrifying.

Pheasant Fifty-Six tried to avoid war with the United States at the beginning, knowing that the Americans are terrible. Once the Americans enter the war mode, all weapons will be exploded.

The island nation has accumulated weapons for more than ten years and has been consumed in a few battles. However, the United States has been able to maintain a strong industrial production capacity during the war. In addition to its own use, it can also support Europe. This is the gap.

Now that the U.S. industry has entered a state of full speed, it is quite terrifying that the war machine is activated. Although coastal shipyards have been hit, aviation capabilities have always been steadily progressing, such as the B-29. The United States has been continuously producing strategic bombers, and hundreds of them have been equipped.

Now, the engine used on the aircraft carrier is from the B-29.

Marine and airplane use are actually different, but in order to reduce the size of the power system, only this kind of engine can be used.

A brand new engine was taken apart from the wooden box, and the workers began to install it.

Make a hole on the side of the ship’s gunwale.

If it’s an ordinary ship, a huge drill bit is needed. Now, just a hot red steel pipe is enough. When the steel pipe is inserted, the ice is quickly melted with the steel pipe as the center. At the same time, the steel pipe is also violent The ground cooled down, and soon, a circular hole appeared.

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

Yes, the engine is installed on the outside of the hull, which is also considered in depth.

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

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

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

On ordinary ships, the heat dissipation doesn’t matter. The big deal is that the sailors in the engine room are working with their arms open, heating up the fans, but on this ice carrier, it’s different.

If the heat is concentrated inside the hull, it will not take long for the ship to melt.

After the ice carrier is built, the parts in contact with the sea will definitely melt slowly, but as long as it is within a certain limit, such as a few centimeters of melting at a time, it is acceptable. Just come back and freeze again. .

However, if the engine is built-in, the heat is dissipated from the inside to the outside. Not to mention, if the engine room melts for a few days in the sea, how can we fight?

Geoffrey is the most proud of this layout. This is a structure he personally designed with an external discrete engine.

In addition to avoiding melting, another advantage is that once you encounter an attack, you will not lose all your power. Even if there are only three or five engines left, you can drive back slowly without becoming a floating coffin on the sea.

The installation of each engine was quickly completed. When the outer protective cover was added, the lines were smooth, showing a unique beauty.

One day, two days, three days, when the afternoon of the third day, the entire ship was built.

“We will create the miracle of this era.” Jeffrey looked at the tall hull and said to Alexander: “Even the fastest **** aircraft carrier takes more than two months to build, but now, our ice aircraft carrier, It only takes one week to complete the construction of the hull, leaving only the outfitting. If needed, it can be combat capable at any time.”

After the hull is launched into the water, it is quite time-consuming to perform outfitting. Even for some ships, it takes one year for the berth and one year for outfitting. It takes a long time to test the power system and everything.

But the ice carrier does not need so much.

It is not so much an aircraft carrier as it is a mobile maritime base.

An ordinary aircraft carrier of 30,000 tons is a Big Mac. The current aircraft carrier is 2 million tons. Now, this 900-meter-long aircraft carrier can’t be called an aircraft carrier. It is completely a military base.

In the huge volume, there is plenty of space to house all kinds of equipment. Unlike a small ship, it is more like an ordinary land base. There are many rooms inside, and you can arrange it whatever you want.

The ice house can also be very warm inside. For example, the Eskimos live in the ice house.

So, now that the hull is built, it can basically sail.

If there is no problem with the sea trial, you can start off, without outfitting.

This kind of aircraft carrier is not called outfitting, but decoration is pretty much the same. Just during the long process of driving to the base~www.mtlnovel.com~, some decoration workers will be sent up, bringing all the tools and materials, and the decoration can be carried out. , Arrived at the destination, just finished.

The two of them were staring at the giant aircraft carrier to appreciate, and they heard rapid footsteps.

“Report, President Roosevelt, came with the top of the White House. They want to come and see the progress of our aircraft carrier.”

President Roosevelt is here?

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

The president’s trip must be kept confidential in advance, and it is impossible to notify them. Now, the president is coming, which makes them very excited.

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

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

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

When he heard that an aircraft carrier had been built here, Roosevelt couldn’t wait to come over. In his heart, the United States wanted to win and could only rely on these brainstorming equipment.

If it cannot have sea dominance, then the failure of the United States is appropriate. The US shipbuilding industry has suffered a blow, and its failure to destroy the European shipbuilding industry has become even more urgent.

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

The aircraft carrier is right in front of you. When these visitors saw the aircraft carrier, everyone’s eyes widened. It was absolutely shocking. Who has seen a two-million-ton big guy?

What’s better, it’s still to come! 8) For more wonderful novels, welcome to visit everyone’s reading academy
