Preton hung up and looked at the others in the conference room, "Do I need to call anyone else?"
On the phone just now, the Minister of Construction wanted him to take a look at other people.
In fact, it is not surprising that the Minister of Construction can have such "full" trust in Pretton.
First of all, what he inquired about was not top-secret information from a certain point of view, and those in the Privy Council would soon know.
The people in the Privy Council know that, which means that the entire Gevra knows that this is not something that needs to be kept secret, and even the Minister of Construction himself does not believe it is true.
As the Minister of War in the Palace of the Rulers said, there are no conditions for planes to take off on the sea with extreme wind and waves, let alone the heavy weight of the ship's body to suppress the waves.
Isn't the battleship heavy enough to hold back the waves?
When the wind and waves are big, it will also be affected.
Battleships are affected, not much of a problem, airstrips are affected, a little bump is enough to crash a plane on the deck!
This is not a joke, even a smooth land runway has the potential to crash, not to mention a undulating ship deck, so no one thinks this is true.
Besides, if Preton was really caught by the Federals, would they call him, his voice sounded lazy.
The Minister of Construction can even imagine that the son of a **** must be on the phone while basking in the sun.
Gavra, an isolated overseas island, has a lot of geographical advantages, but also a lot of bad things, such as the air is too humid.
If he can spy on other people's attitudes for himself, it's not a big deal to reveal something unimportant.
It seemed a little weird to people who got the news so easily, they thought it should be so difficult that it might make Pretton suspicious.
They really didn't expect it to be so smooth, so smooth that they began to wonder if the news was true, could it be a smoke bomb released by the Gafra people?
The people in the room discussed it. Since the Minister of Construction believes that Pretton is not exposed, let him do what he should do.
Every time he made a phone call afterwards, the other party expressed disapproval of his sudden call, but seemed reluctant to talk much about the matter of the Secretary of the Air Force.
Everyone has their own ideas, and they all have a "maybe I can do it" attitude, even if they know they are hopeless, they will not express their position early.
Attitudes are valuable. To get their attitudes, you have to spend money, or exchange benefits.
Pretton quickly ended these exchanges of information, handling everyone's relationship very skillfully, and even promised to send them a small gift back, which is also a way to maintain mutual friendship.
After doing this, he happily returned to his room, glanced at the eldest prince, and then lay on the reclining chair and began to bask in the sun.
The eldest prince didn't know what happened. He looked at Preton calmly and suddenly asked a question, "Are you willing?"
Pretton never thought that the eldest prince would take the initiative to talk to him, he was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted, "If you are not reconciled, is there any way you can get rid of what we are going through right now?"
"After you go out, the person who impersonates you will want to kill you, the Federation will want to kill you, and anyone who knows you will want to send you back."
"What's the point of being willing or not?"
The eldest prince clenched his fist and let it go, "I know what you said, but I'm just not reconciled, it shouldn't be like this."
Preton had just said something long enough to satisfy his desire to speak, and now he is less inclined to speak.
After squeezing a syllable out of his nose, he put on his sunglasses again and basked in the sun while listening to the radio.
On the other hand, news about "Sea Fortress" and "Air Force Minister" has been submitted layer by layer.
When the Ministry of Defense and the Strategic Command received this information, representatives of warship manufacturers, led by Shepp Ships, and engineers were invited to a meeting of the Ministry of Defense.
Before four o'clock in the afternoon, everyone from the largest shipyard in the Commonwealth came.
"We have intercepted some top-secret messages from Gevra, and in these messages, we have discovered a plan for a new type of warship called 'Sea Fortress'."
"Is that possible?"
The lieutenant general who presided over the meeting asked in a serious, serious voice, "From a technical point of view."
These people from the shipping company were a little surprised at first, and then the engineers started to make some assumptions and calculations quickly, and within a few minutes, they came to the same answer——
This question should be asked of the manufacturer of the aircraft, not them.
Then, at half past four, Lynch came to the office, along with his chief engineer.
The lieutenant general repeated what he had already said, and finally he asked, "Is it possible for the plane to take off and land under these conditions?"
Without waiting for Lynch to answer, the chief engineer shook his head, "It's hard."
Everyone's eyes are on him. During this period of time, he is supplying for the Ministry of Defense, and the chief engineer is not as stage fright as the first time.
There are often senior officials of the Ministry of Defense, military generals, and he is approached to discuss some parameters and the feasibility of some ideas, and he has become like a successful person.
While shaking his head, he said, "The take-off of an aircraft requires smooth thrust and upward lift. When the speed is not fast enough, we need to use the runway to complete the entire acceleration process."
"If the runway is uneven or bumpy, with our current technology, the aircraft will have a significant downward impact when the acceleration is insufficient."
“In this way, we only have two outcomes, the first is an accident such as a deviation or even a crash, and the second is that we cannot take off after overrunning the runway, because we are always hovering in a cycle of effective acceleration and ineffective acceleration.”
"As for the landing...", he pondered for a moment, "the risk of crashing would be several times higher than on land."
Lynch quietly rubbed the knuckle of his index finger with his right thumb, a small gesture he would do when he was satisfied.
If the aircraft carrier was born now, who would pay for his "island chain" plan?
This is a big project with a budget of more than one billion, and his income will be equally terrifying. For this money, even if the aircraft carrier can be born now, it has to be pressed into the water until the allocation of the island chain reaches the first The aircraft carrier will be born after the third or fourth phase.
Of course, if the aircraft carrier cannot come out prematurely due to technical problems, then there is no need for him to add some additional force majeure.
The question returned to the same place, the lieutenant general looked at the people of the shipping company, "Can you make the hull not undulate violently?"
"If the hull can be made to be as smooth as a flat, does that mean the plane can take off and land on the deck?"
The lieutenant general looked at the chief engineer beside Lynch, who nodded.
The pressure then returned to the shipping company.
We discussed for more than half an hour without getting any valuable results. As long as the ship is traveling at sea, it is impossible not to sway.
Battleships are big enough that they will rise and fall with the waves, and there is no way to avoid them.
In the end, Lynch summed it up - everyone went back and developed their own technology, and then talked about it after a while.
On the way back, the chief engineer suddenly said, "Actually we can do it."
Lynch looked at him, "What can we do?"
"Taking off and landing on slightly bumpy runways requires only a slight change in the structure of the landing gear."
Then the chief engineer and Lynch talked about the method of change, "Our carriage already has a perfect shock absorption function. Although the effect does not seem so obvious, it is really useful."
He used the pen and paper he carried with him to briefly explain the method. As long as the weight of the spring is greater than the weight of the aircraft and the pilot when it is stationary, it will not be large if it encounters turbulence during flight. question.
The contraction and tension of the spring can improve these problems. Of course, the actual situation requires special experiments. The chief engineer believes that these are not problems.
Lynch looked at the drafts and asked an unrelated question, "Why didn't you say it at the meeting?"
The chief engineer thought for a while, "Because we can't solve the problem of take-off distance."
"Currently the longest battleship in the Federation is no more than 300 meters, which means that our aircraft needs to accelerate and take off on a runway of about 200 meters, which we cannot do."
Lynch immediately understood what the chief engineer meant. The problem of turbulence is easy to solve, but the problem of insufficient take-off distance is difficult to solve.
The former can be done anytime and anywhere, while the latter is not so easy~IndoMTL.com~ The latter problem cannot be solved, and the former problem is difficult to solve!
He's smart and knows how to deal with "clients," which is why Lynch chose him.
Actually, in Lynch's view, this problem is not a big problem. It is not a problem that can be solved as long as you keep spending money.
He vaguely remembers something called a catapult start...
The results of the meeting of experts brought in by the Ministry of Defense were not so positive, and then the Ministry of Intelligence and the Security Committee activated some spies who were deeply involved in Gafra, and asked them to get the blueprint of the "sea fortress" and the ship as soon as possible. Plans for carrying aircraft.
For these two things, you can do whatever it takes!
At the same time, major shipbuilding companies have also received new research and development projects from the Ministry of Defense, and they need a sea runway.
And Lynch's Flight Research Institute received a research topic on "how to make an aircraft take off and land on a bumpy sea runway", and there is no specific funding limit!
