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

When Shan Ji Fifty-six tried his best to avoid going to war with the United States, they knew the terribleness of the Americans. Once the Americans entered the war mode, any weapon would be exploded in one go.

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

Now, the United States' industry has entered full speed, and it is quite terrible to start the war machine. Although coastal shipyards have suffered a blow, their aviation capabilities have been progressing steadily. For example, the United States has been continuously producing strategic bombers such as B-29 and have equipped hundreds of them.

Now, the engines used on aircraft carriers are from the b-29.

The use of marine and aircraft is actually different, but in order to reduce the volume of the power system, this kind of engine can only be used.

Brand new engines were disassembled from the wooden box, and the workers began to install them.

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

If it is an ordinary ship, a huge drill bit needs to be used. Now, just a red-burned steel pipe is enough. When the steel pipe is stuffed in, the ice cubes melt quickly with the steel pipe as the center. At the same time, the steel pipe is also cooling down violently. Soon, a circular hole appears.

Through the hole, a special bracket is installed, the engine is fixed, various pipelines are connected, the drive shaft is connected, and the propeller below is driven. The workers completed the installation of an engine in half a day.

Yes, the engine is installed outside the hull, which is also very considerate.

When the engine is working, it needs to release 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 burning is dissipated into the surrounding air in the form of heat.

Therefore, any engine needs to heat up when working, which is the dissipation of energy. (If you use professional words, it should be called entropy.)

On ordinary ships, the heat dissipation doesn't matter. At worst, the sailors in the engine room work with their arms open and fan it's hot. However, on this ice aircraft carrier, it's different.

If the heat is concentrated inside the hull, it won't take long before the ship melts.

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

However, if the engine is built-in, the heat will be dissipated from the inside to the outside. Not to mention anything else, if you go to sea for a few days and the engine compartment melts, how can you fight?

Jeffrey is most proud of this layout, which is a structure he designed himself, with an external discrete engine.

In addition to avoiding melting, another advantage is that once an attack is encountered, all power will not be lost. Even if only three or five engines are left, they can be driven back slowly and will not become a coffin floating on the sea.

The engines were quickly installed. After adding the protective cover on the outside, the lines were smooth and showed a unique beauty.

One day, two days, three days, and on 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 escort aircraft carrier, it will take more than two months to build one, but now, our ice aircraft carrier can complete the hull construction in just one week, and only outfits are left. If necessary, it can have combat capabilities at any time."

When the hull is launched, it is quite time-consuming to install. Some ships even need to install for one year on the platform, and the power system tests have to be done for a long time.

But there is no need to be so much ice aircraft carriers.

It is not so much a mobile sea base as it is.

An ordinary aircraft carrier, 30,000 tons, is a giant, and the current aircraft carrier is 2 million tons. Now, this 900-meter-long aircraft carrier cannot be called an aircraft carrier, it is completely a military base.

In the huge volume, there is plenty of space to accommodate various equipment. Unlike a small ship, it is more like an ordinary land base. There are many rooms inside, and you can arrange them any way you want.

Ice houses can also be very warm inside. For example, the Eskimos live in ice houses, don’t they?

So, now that the hull has been built, it is basically ready for trial sailing.

If the trial sail is fine, you can start and leave without any need to install it.

This kind of aircraft carrier is almost the same as being called outfitting, but it is called decoration. As it takes a long time to drive to the base, some decoration workers are sent to bring all the tools and materials, and then it can be decorated. When it arrives at the destination, it is just completed.

The two were staring at the giant aircraft carrier to appreciate it, and they heard the rushing footsteps.

"Report, President Roosevelt, came with the White House senior executives, and they wanted to 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 smoothly, looking very ordinary.

The president must keep it confidential in advance when traveling, and it is impossible to notify them. Now, the president is coming, which makes them very excited.

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

Instead of sitting in a wheelchair, Roosevelt looked at the huge warship on the lake with a cane.

It is spectacular and majestic, and there is no adjective to accurately describe it. Its appearance is enough to be a huge iceberg.

When Roosevelt heard that an aircraft carrier had been built here, he couldn't wait to come over. In his heart, if America wanted to win, he could only rely on these brain-breaking equipment.

If there is no sea control power, the failure of America is absolutely true. The US shipbuilding industry has suffered a blow and has not been able to destroy Europe's shipbuilding industry and ice aircraft carriers, which is even more urgent.

"Mr. President, our first aircraft carrier has completed the construction of the hull and is preparing for a trial voyage." 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, which was absolutely shocking. Who has ever seen a big guy with two million tons?
