Chapter 1021 Technically Impossible
Preton hung up the phone 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 hoped that he could find out what other people said.

In fact, it is not surprising that the Minister of Construction has 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 people in the Privy Council would know it soon.

The people in the Privy Council knew it, which meant that the entire Gefra people knew it. This is not something that needs to be kept secret, and even the Minister of Construction himself does not believe it is true.

Just like what the Minister of War in the Palace of the Ruler said, the extremely windy sea does not have the conditions for a plane to take off, not to mention that the heavy weight of the ship can hold down the waves.

Isn't the battleship heavy enough? Can't it hold the waves?
When the wind and waves are strong, it will also be affected.

The battleship is affected, not a big problem, the airstrip is 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 possibility of crashing, let alone the undulating ship deck, so everyone does not think it is true.

Besides, if Pretton was really arrested by the federal people, would they call him? His voice sounded lazy.

The Minister of Construction could even imagine that the son of a bitch must be basking in the sun while talking to him on the phone.

Gafra, an isolated overseas island, has many geographical advantages, but also has many disadvantages, such as the air is too humid.

If he could find out some other people's attitudes for himself, it wouldn't be a big deal to reveal some unimportant content.

People who got the news so easily felt a little unbelievable. They thought it should be so difficult that it might make Preton suspicious.

They really didn't expect that it would be so smooth, so smooth that they began to doubt whether the news was true, could it be a smoke bomb released by the Gefra people?

The people in the room discussed it. Since the Minister of Construction believes that Preton has not been exposed, let him do what he should do.

Every time he made a phone call after that, the other party expressed his disapproval of his sudden call, but they seemed unwilling to talk about the matter of the Secretary of the Air Force.

Everyone has their own ideas, and they all have an attitude of "I might do it", even if they know they are hopeless, they will not express their opinions early.

Attitude is very valuable, and to get their attitude, you have to spend money, or exchange benefits.

Preton quickly ended the exchange of information. He handled everyone's relationship skillfully, and even promised to give them a small gift in return. This is also a way to maintain mutual friendship.

After doing all this, he returned to his room happily, and after glancing at the eldest prince, he lay down on the recliner again 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 himself, he was stunned for a moment before he realized, "If you are not reconciled, is there any way for you to get rid of what we are currently going through?"

"After you go out, the person who pretended to be you will want to kill you, the federal people will want to kill you, and anyone who knows you will want to send you back."

"What's the point if you're willing or not?"

The eldest prince clenched his fists, and then let go, "I know what you said, but I just don't want to, things shouldn't be like this."

Pretton had just talked for a long time, satisfying his desire to talk, and now he felt less inclined to talk.

After squeezing a syllable out of his nose, he put his sunglasses back on and basked in the sun while listening to the radio.

On the other side, news about the "Sea Fortress" and the "Minister of the Air Force" has been submitted layer by layer.

When the Ministry of Defense and the Strategic Command got the news, representatives of warship manufacturers headed by Shepp Ship, as well as engineers, were invited to a meeting of the Ministry of Defense.

It was less than four o'clock in the afternoon, and everyone from the largest shipyard in the Federation came.

"We have intercepted some top-secret messages from Gefra. In these messages, we discovered a plan for a new type of warship called 'Sea Fortress'."

"They plan to build an airstrip that can navigate the sea. Is it possible?"

The lieutenant general who presided over the meeting asked in a very serious voice, "From a technical point of view."

The people from the shipping company were a little surprised at first, and then the engineers began to quickly make some assumptions and calculations. In just a few minutes, they came up with the same answer——

This question should be asked to the manufacturer of the aircraft, not to them.

Then, at 04:30, Lynch came to this 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?"

Before Lynch could answer, the chief engineer shook his head, "This is difficult."

All eyes were on him. During this period of time, the chief engineer was not as frightened as he was the first time when he was supplying goods to the Ministry of Defense.

There are often senior officials of the Ministry of National Defense and military generals who ask him to discuss some parameters and the feasibility of some ideas. He has become a successful person.

While shaking his head, he said, "A plane needs a steady thrust and upward lift to take off. 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 turbulent, with our current technology, the aircraft will have an obvious downward impact process when the acceleration is not enough."

"In this way, we only have two results. The first is that there are accidents such as deviation or even crash, and the second is that we can't take off when we run off the runway, because we are always hovering in the cycle of effective acceleration and invalid acceleration."

"As for landing..." He pondered for a moment, "The risk of crashing will be several times higher than on land."

Lynch quietly rubbed the knuckles of his index finger with his right thumb, which was a small movement he would do when he was very satisfied.

If the aircraft carrier is born now, who will pay for his "island chain" plan?
This is a large project with a budget of more than one billion, and his income will be equally appalling. For this money, even if the aircraft carrier can be born now, it must be pushed into the water until the third phase of the island chain's allocation or After the fourth phase, the aircraft carrier will be born.

Of course, if the aircraft carrier cannot be launched prematurely due to technical problems, then there is no need for him to add some force majeure.

The question came back to the original place, the lieutenant general looked at the people of the shipping company, "Can you prevent the ship from fluctuating violently?"

"If you can make the hull as stable as the ground, does that mean that the plane can take off and land on the deck?"

The lieutenant general looked at the chief engineer next to Lynch, who nodded.

So the pressure is back on the shipping company.

Everyone discussed for more than half an hour, but did not get any valuable results. As long as the ship is driving at sea, it is impossible not to shake and heave.

The battleship is big enough, and it will also rise and fall with the waves, which cannot be avoided.

In the end, Lynch summed it up—everyone went back to develop their own technologies, and then talked about this issue 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 a slightly bumpy runway requires only a slight change in the configuration of the landing gear."

Then the chief engineer and Lynch talked about this change method, "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 at rest, there will be no major problems in the event of turbulence during flight.

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 in 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 longer than 300 meters, which means that our aircraft has 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 was easy to solve, but the problem of insufficient take-off distance was difficult to solve.

The former can be done anytime and anywhere, but the latter is not so easy.

If the latter problem cannot be solved, the former problem will be difficult to solve!
He is smart and knows how to deal with "clients", which is why Lynch chose him.

In fact, from Lynch's point of 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 remembered something called ejection start...

The results of the meeting with the experts brought by the Ministry of National Defense were not so positive, and then the Military Intelligence Bureau and the Security Committee activated some spies who were deep in Guafra, asking them to get the design drawings of the "Sea Fortress" and the aircraft on board as soon as possible. design diagram.

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.

Lynch's flight research institute received the research topic of "how to make the plane take off and land on the bumpy sea runway", and there is no specific upper limit of funding!
