Chapter 859: Thousand Islands
People are on the ship, almost all out of the test, a lot of the test, are destructive, completely do not take into account the continuity, from the middle, find a lot of problems, these problems, are quickly responded to the ship research institute, the acting office according to these summarized things, to adjust, if it is a problem, find a way to solve it, if it is some habits or in the reality of manipulation, need to increase things, then it is necessary to consider the whole picture.
Maybe these people don't understand what kind of technical indicators a clipper is, they just follow a fixed routine and reflect the data back.
Very close relationship, any feedback, will be reflected, and then the researcher conducts research and analysis, finds out where the problem is, and finally solves the problem, or uses a better solution, replaces the current solution, and then forms a complete solution.
The sea trial was carried out for almost 1 month, the basic characteristics of the clipper began to be determined, in the Ship Research Institute, the final draft, this finalization, not only includes the previous design ideas, but also includes some intermediate adjustments, and even some advanced electrical applications, with these applications, to a certain extent, the effect of the clipper will be better.
After all, not every senior researcher is from the bottom, most of them are through school, in the school, after the systematic completion of a series of learning, this is the only way out.
This kind of learning is very high-end, and it also plays a strategic role, but the contact with reality is not strong, and it must be through long-term study to be able to accumulate experience.
However, when it came to Dinghai, teaching and scientific research were very closely related to practice, which helped the researchers to forcibly accumulate experience, and after the accumulation of experience of these people, the clipper ship was logical, and the specifications were quickly determined.
After the completion of the tests, the experimental fleet has not stopped, they have already replaced several batches of ships, even if the specified tasks have been completed, they are still starting to try according to certain rules, and at the same time, also
Finalize a new ship, of course, for the application, can be drawn to Huludao, to participate in the sea trials of these new ships, are not ordinary people, almost the entire Dinghai Navy, in shipping, ocean, some of the most outstanding people, they have some, experience on the ship, has more than 20 years, even if they have just come into contact with the clipper, they have realized the benefits of this ship.
Take the Chinese sailing ship as an example, the average speed of the clipper ship is already 4 times that of the Chinese sailing ship, which is already very amazing on the sea boat, even compared with the Spanish sailing ship, there is a gap of 2 times.
This kind of speed, in the ocean voyage, is very effective, if a near-sea voyage, about the total voyage is 4 days, twice the speed, is 2 days to arrive, 4 times faster, is one day, it seems, just save 2 days and 1 day, not very eye-catching.
However, ocean voyages are never three or four days, or five or six days, and if it is also a 5,000-kilometer-long route, in the current China, that is, the distance from Huludao to Hainan Island, with a Spanish sailing ship with an average speed of 10 knots, 200 kilometers a day, it will take 25 days.
Doubling the speed, it will save at least 12 days, which is a considerable voyage, and in the future, when the North American route is penetrated, it will be even farther, often thousands, or even close to the distance of 10,000 kilometers, a little faster, it is very obvious, let alone twice as fast.
Such a ship, in the future, will inevitably be the entire navy, the most important amount of ships, whether it is the performance of the ship itself, or the future use of the navy, these must be paid attention to.
After the hull is finalized, it will be sent to the entire Dinghai Navy, including the Dinghai Shipyard, and most of the shipyards, on this basis, the production of various clippers will be maximized.
Dinghai may not be top-notch in other aspects, but in terms of explosive production capacity, it is definitely the first in the world, and an order of 300 ships will be placed at one time, and this order will be issued in 20 batches one after another, according to the production time of 12 days for a batch, which is basically more than half a year.
That is to say, 20 batches, each batch of 300 ships, a total of 6,000 orders will be placed, which is a big guy of about 500 tons, not a small sail board, which shows that Zhao Xin and Ding Navy attach great importance to navigation.
The training of the whole clipper is also speeding up, and the exploration of the Americas is a national project, and after the ocean transportation and fishing have reached a considerable extent, a large number of personnel have begun to be transferred to study the training methods, most of which will be based on the actual situation during the previous sea trials, plus some suggestions from the research institute.
The pre-training has already begun, and it is a spontaneous organization of the previous tests, and they rely more on personal relationships, recommendations from friends and colleagues, etc., but when the final type of clipper is finalized, and the experimental ship is finalized, the large-scale transfer begins.
Experienced captains, as well as sailors, are the first to be selected, and they will form the lead of the entire exploration fleet, they are responsible for the front works, and they are the core personnel.
Of course, some necessary geological, oceanographic, and surveying and mapping personnel will also be transferred, their number is not large, but very important, they will continue to draw according to the sketch map provided by Zhao Xin, as well as the sea chart that the entire Dinghai Navy has drawn.
Each time a nautical chart is added, it will be added to the largest nautical chart of the Dinghai Navy on the premise of perfecting the scale and latitude and longitude, and every discovery will increase the Dingjun's march towards the ocean.
Of course, there is still the necessary training, although it is said that the Spanish sailing ship, and the clipper boat, he is a sailboat, but the difficulty of operation, as well as the degree of all aspects, is not the same, even if it is a skilled sailor, it must be trained in advance, otherwise, in case of a wrong operation, it will be a problem.
The whole training work lasted about a month, day and night, and a total of more than 50 groups of personnel were trained, and at the same time, 50 of the latest clippers have also been successfully launched.
After the finalization, the clipper shows a slightly different shape and structure, more light, some of which are unnecessary, and the lightweight transformation has been carried out, although it only reduces the overall tonnage by 5%, but for the entire capacity, speed, and reliability, it has increased.
The use of a large number of electrical equipment also makes the flyer maneuverable to a higher level, which is not only easier to operate, but also reduces some necessary personnel and increases coordination.
If it is transportation, in order to pursue the cost and expansiveness, it must be considered, and the configuration of the lowest sailor can be used.
However, when you go out on an expedition, you must not use the lowest configuration, the lowest configuration, which means that the fault tolerance rate is very low, and once there is an accident, it will not be able to be controlled.
Going deep into the vast and uninhabited sea, will there be problems, of course it will, and the possibility is very large, with the lowest fault tolerance rate, a set of teams, as long as one or two, or more problems, the entire crew team can not continue, the lack of personnel under the premise, extreme premise, the ship can hardly be opened.
In this case, 2 sets, at least two sets of backbone teams, this has become the key, similarly, the number of generalists must be more, many people, must be proficient in more than two positions, more, of course, the best.
After adjustment and stereotyping, the clipper can be operated by only 14 people at a minimum, but on each boat, there are 32 people, of which, two sets of sailors, plus management, a total of 26 people, and 6 people, are professional geography, hydrology, and surveying and mapping talents, they are separately configured,
Although it is said that it is separately configured, it is the most complete guarantee, because they are very important, they can detect problems in advance, and at the same time, to a certain extent, there is also the drawing of nautical charts.
In addition to the personnel, the best of the best, all kinds of materials and supplies, is also first-class, in the navigation, the most critical is the supply, in the European age of discovery, mainly water and food, those are not processed, or rough processed.
Under such a premise, there will be a huge waste, a piece of compressed biscuits that have been specially blended to ensure nutrition, and other aspects need to be there, which can provide one or two catties of food, or even more calories, his weight is only 100 grams, and the volume is even smaller.
This is the most suitable for clippers with a small volume and capacity, and if they carry a small amount of things, they can explore further, and even the taste can be made a little better, at most add a little seasoning.
At the same time, about water, there is no way, the water is not compressed, fortunately, some circulation and cleaning settings are installed, which can reduce the daily water use to a minimum, and at the same time, in the rain, you can also turn on the reserve water thing, you can replenish some water, which is very critical for ocean exploration.
Zhao Xin made a special trip to Huludao, and the entire oath work, as well as the opening ceremony, was very large, and at the same time, there were also a large number of personnel in the maritime and naval aspects.
The 50 flying shear ships are used as the pilot, they are the main force responsible for the exploration, but not the main force in the search for the route, and the real usefulness is the follow-up.
50 ships, organized into 5 teams, quickly went to Hokkaido, where they repaired for two days before heading for the Kuril Islands.
In the past year or so, although the navy has not yet transferred the will of the country to the seafaring side, the necessary exploration has begun, even for fishing, it has penetrated more than 300 kilometers to the north of Hokkaido, and at the same time, temporary bases have been established on at least 27 islands in the Kuril Islands.
Now, under the navigation driven by the will of the state, it has been sufficiently supplemented, and this speed is significantly accelerating.
In the past, during the two months of training and developing clippers, the infrastructure madness of the Dinghai Navy was manifested on the Kuril Islands, and among the least 200 islands in the Kuril Islands, 12 islands were selected as the foundation and base, and then the construction of the frenzy began, not one or two, but 12 islands started construction at the same time.
At least 2,000 Spanish galleons composed of transport fleet, the future will be expanded to 10,000, perhaps Spanish sailing ships, in exploration, in speed, than take-off clipping, there is a big gap, but in the transport of goods, ocean transportation, absolutely excellent.
12 bases, including 6 temporary mooring and supply points, 3 storage bases, and 3 core bases.
This core base, like the forward base, has everything that the sea exploration has, and even the charts explored in the early stage of the clipper ship will also enter these forward bases one by one, summarize, and then form a more detailed chart, which can be sold one step on the basis of the predecessors, which is not only safe, but also quite efficient.
In 2 months, on the desert island, which is poor and white, there is nothing, there are different changes, countless houses, docks, and even warehouses have risen from the ground, from a worthless desert island, to an important part and symbol of the important transportation line on the route, and gradually pay attention to it.
Now, Hokkaido can be used as a forward base, and a large amount of materials will be stored here, and in the future, with the deepening of the navigation step by step, the pace of construction will not stop, and the speed of the navy's march towards the ocean will be synchronized with the results of the exploration, step by step to the ocean. A large amount of materials, as well as construction, will become a way to explore the ocean, and it will go deeper and deeper.
This method of exploration is purely based on strength, as long as you know that in this sea area, there are quite a lot of islands, there are these islands as the foundation and forward base, each time the scope of the outward exploration, no more than 500 kilometers, as long as it is not particularly unlucky, there will be no problems, even if it is not a bad state, if it is not directly photographed into the sea by the storm in the sea, generally speaking, there will be no major problems.
In terms of nautical exploration, as long as there are no problems, you can continue to explore at sea, and there is a clear direction to guide, explore enough sea areas, and draw accurate nautical charts, it is only a time relationship, but not just, the length of time, and the number of people and ships sent.
Dinghai now, time and so on, one or two or three years, as long as it is not endless, no goal to wait, it is acceptable, even if it is personnel, even if it is the vanguard, 50 ships have been dispatched, follow-up, in Huludao, in the shipyard of the entire Ding Navy, countless clippers are waiting to be manufactured, once the Dinghai Navy makes up its mind to do something, it will inevitably make the whole world feel shocked.
