119: Section 119

Seeing this device, which he initially thought was a wheel, transform into a large propeller like those on fighter jets or helicopters after unfolding, the President's heart also panicked.

"Who can tell me what exactly is going on?"

"Didn't we agree it was just amphibious, just a regular aircraft carrier with four big wheels added?"

"Now it has expanded horizontally, turning into a flying wing device. It's going to fly!"

The President almost roared the last sentence.

After all, he was already wary of Lin's, and now seeing an aircraft carrier made by Lin's that seemed capable of flying into the sky.

This was definitely a blow to him.

However.

After everyone present hotly debated the matter.

Someone quickly raised a different opinion.

"Mr. President, I think you're overreacting. Our great Lighthouse Country President shouldn't fear an unknown figure from Huaguo!"

"And this so-called space-air aircraft carrier, I think it's nothing but a joke!"

As these words came out, everyone present couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

The speaker was Gladstone, the person in charge of the Enterprise carrier, one of the Lighthouse Country's two newest aircraft carriers, and also the Chief Engineer of the Lighthouse Country's military.

When it came to aircraft carrier manufacturing, Gladstone was arguably one of the most knowledgeable people present.

Hearing him directly assert this, the senators present seemed to have found a lifeline and quickly pressed him for an explanation.

Even the President on the stage couldn't help but walk down excitedly and come before Gladstone, asking, "What exactly is going on? Quickly explain it to me!"

"Oh my god, if I don't understand what Lin's is doing sooner, I really can't even enjoy my meals!"

Gladstone scoffed when he saw the President so worried about Lin's.

Then, he began to display the data he had already organized on the large screen on the stage, while also opening the satellite image that had been captured, saying:

"First, according to the size ratio captured by the satellite, this aircraft carrier is at least six hundred meters long and over one hundred and fifty meters wide."

"Its estimated weight is at least two hundred and fifty thousand tons!"

Listening to Gladstone state more detailed data than what could be seen in the satellite image, the other senators present became even more frightened.

Their newest aircraft carrier was far from reaching this level!

However, Gladstone then dismissed this data, instead saying disdainfully, "Precisely because of this, we have even less to worry about this aircraft carrier taking off."

"Because on the entire Blue Star, there is simply nothing that can allow such a heavy object to escape the influence of gravity!"

"Even the thrust of a space rocket would need to be at least sixteen hundred times greater to propel such a heavy object into flight!"

"Of course, that's not the main point!"

"Let's assume that even if Lin's truly solved the problem of this propulsion, however!"

"For such a massive aircraft carrier to lift off as a whole, the required thrust must be evenly distributed!"

"That is to say, the head, front, middle, rear, and tail of this aircraft carrier, plus the same five sections on both the left and right sides, must all receive propulsion simultaneously!"

"Only then can the aircraft carrier lift off without causing catastrophic disintegration!"

Gladstone continuously used simple and clear language, backed by real scientific theories, to refute the idea that this so-called space-air aircraft carrier could possibly exist!

However.

This indeed made all the officials present, including the President, understand.

"So, this so-called space-air aircraft carrier is actually fake?"

"But what about those four large propellers on its sides?"

"Can't these four propellers provide the propulsion you mentioned and lift the aircraft carrier into the air?"

The President furrowed his brows after listening, still somewhat disbelieving as he retorted.

At this moment, another person stood up to speak.

"Mr. President, Mr. Gladstone has already made it very clear. Even if these four propellers generate immense thrust, the moment they attempt to lift off, they will directly tear apart the sides of the carrier."

Seeing the President's expression, which clearly didn't understand much, Gladstone added, ""

"Because the forces are unevenly distributed... let me put it this way, Mr. President."

"The relationship between those four propeller wings and the overall carrier is like tying one of your fingers, Mr. President, to a rocket booster."

---Seeking fresh flowers0 Β·Β·

"The moment the rocket thrust explodes, although it would certainly be enough to send your whole body into the sky, because only one of your fingers is bearing this thrust, your finger would break off directly before you could even ascend."

Listening to this simple and easy-to-understand example, the President finally reacted.

Imagining the terrifying scene of a finger being torn off, he couldn't help but shiver.

However, when this fantasy shifted to the space-air aircraft carrier, the President couldn't help but become excited.

"So, this space-air aircraft carrier, the moment its propellers try to lift the hull, is when the carrier will break apart?"

"Yes, Mr. President!" All the engineers present who were related to vehicle manufacturing agreed with this statement.

However, another research scholar present raised another hypothesis.

"Mr. Gladstone, then according to what you just said, what if Huaguo's aircraft carrier really has so many boosters installed underneath?"

"When this thrust is evenly distributed at the bottom, coupled with the auxiliary flight of the propellers, can it fly?"

After all, it was something made by Lin's.

They no longer dared to casually deny it; they had to seriously confirm all possibilities!

However, the answer was still a denial.

"It's still the same problem: this aircraft carrier is too massive; no booster can achieve this."

"Even if there were, boosters placed underneath would only directly penetrate the carrier's hull and be unable to propel the carrier into the air."

0..."It's like an airplane being hit by a missile; even if the missile doesn't explode, the plane won't be pushed by the missile's thrust, but will be directly pierced by it."

"..."

"So... why did Lin's create this aircraft carrier that absolutely cannot fly?"

After ruling out all possibilities, they couldn't help but ponder why Lin's and the Huaguo official government would create such an impossible thing?

"Is there a possibility that this is just using Lin's name to scare us?"

"..."

"..."

After the President muttered a sentence.

The senators present fell silent for a few seconds.

But then, they seemed to have realized something.

That's right!

"Actually, this aircraft carrier is completely fake!"

"It was made just to make us suspicious!"

"They simply want to use Lin's reputation to scare me and make me suspicious!"

"But even Lin's cannot challenge scientific common sense. Such a massive object that cannot fly, even with Lin's name attached, if it can't fly, it can't fly!"

"Hmph, this Huaguo is indeed very cunning, trying to deceive us in this way!"

Just then, the President's secretary arrived with a document.

It turned out that many Northern Alliance countries were intimidated. Many agreements they had discussed with the Lighthouse Country to jointly blockade it, now they all changed their tune, saying they wanted to reconsider.

Or even some countries that weren't truly committed to following the Lighthouse Country now expressed their intention to back out.

This situation made the President even more certain.

β€œshit!”

"Indeed, Huaguo is relying on this strange aircraft carrier's appearance, coupled with Lin's name, and then deliberately not capping it, exposing its aircraft carrier under the satellite!"

"To scare our allied nations with this satellite image and make them withdraw from the blockade!"

"I understand, this is Huaguo's strategy this time!"

"In their words, what's it called? Right, 'empty glove white wolf'!"

"They want to create something we can't understand, just to make us fearful!"

Seemingly having seen through Huaguo's intentions, the senators present applauded. The point that had been unsettling them was finally resolved!

Heh heh!

What a Huaguo, actually using such deceptive means to create non-existent military threats!

In that case, I'll deliberately walk right into your trap. Go ahead and shoot if you dare!

Let's see if your good-for-nothing toy gun can hurt anyone!

Feeling embarrassed for being scared, the Lighthouse Country immediately made a decision.

Huaguo just wanted to scare them away with this method, right?

Then they would advance instead of retreating!

The President directly issued an order.

The seven aircraft carrier strike groups, which were originally patrolling in the distant international waters.

Directly approached the edge of Huaguo's territorial waters overnight, almost pressing against the line.

Every takeoff and landing of fighter jets would inevitably cross that line, and then fly back.

However, the Lighthouse Country truly didn't care anymore.

They crossed the line, then retreated, then crossed the line again, just that arrogant.
