Since Zhao Xin made a scientific research system for the Dinghai Navy. The speed of scientific and technological development is very fast, almost every day, there will be countless new achievements, a single project, will not be so fast, but in a month or two, there will always be new results.

In 8 months, the Ship Research Institute did not stand still, and the development of the clipper ship concentrated all the experts on the ships and fluids of the Dinghai Navy at that time, and to a certain extent, it can be said that all kinds of outstanding talents gathered under the premise that the design and construction of the ship was completed.

After the finalization of the clipper ship was completed and delivered to the shipyard, the construction of the finalized clipper began to support the continuation of the exploration, but after the finalization was completed, it did not mean that the clipper was not studied.

Science uses materiality, even if it is a Spanish galleon, under the technical blessing of the Ding Navy, it is already a magic version, and under the premise that all aspects have reached the extreme, there are still parts that can be improved, almost every one or two years, a new technology will appear, so that the functions of some of his projects will be improved a lot.

The clipper ship is no exception, this kind of ship that has just been finalized can be changed a lot, for example, in the process of calculation and research, the problems found, or the places worth improving, in the comparison, in the detection, some things that are fed back, these are the aspects of its improvement.

The first one or two months of testing did not find all the problems, this expedition fleet, under the worst and most dangerous premise, silent more than 1,000 ships, they were a big loss, but they also accumulated considerable experience, as long as someone came back, they would report what happened to the whole ship, this matter, also represents some weak points of the ship,

After these problems were summarized to the Ship Research Institute, in the eyes of professional researchers, the memory of the clipper began to be adjusted, more scientific, more accurate data, coupled with a series of dangers encountered in practice, further research on the clipper ship is also being carried out.

There are a lot of clippers, and they are not so reasonable, on this place, modifications and studies are carried out all the time, almost every month, there will be a small change, and more than 3 months, there will be a big change.

The stereotyped ship, on the premise that there is no large-scale problem, will not easily change, after all, the dock needs targeted adjustments, and this is not used for the time being.

First of all, the power is higher, on the one hand, the clipper ship has played the sail arrangement to the extreme, and in different wind directions, different positions, and different sharp conditions, it has also done a comprehensive and research, and with the cooperation of power tools, a separate and complete adjustment is carried out, and the process of adjustment will make these sails, under a relative degree, the range of force is more reasonable.

This in itself is a long-term experiment, and in practice, it can be gradually improved, and the time of 8 months is only a preliminary result.

In the same way, some of the changes in the mechanical aspects are even greater, some of the machines that were originally installed on the clippers, at the beginning, only installed the things that should be installed, to a certain extent, only improved the role of some individuals, but compared to the real improvement, it is still a little worse, not a system.

Zhao Xin in later generations, has seen some sailing performances, but he really has not personally stood on a sailboat, this thing in later generations, it is called a noble game, even the most ordinary, can circle the earth, his price is at least millions, or even tens of millions of dollars, this is not a small doctor, can reach

From the outside, what can you see, not to mention, at this moment, the technology of the Dinghai Navy, although it is said to be the best in the world, compared to the Northern Song Dynasty, compared to any country in the world is much stronger, and it has also initially established modernization, but even the Dinghai Navy, which has not even gone to the extreme of steam power, how can it be compared with the real era of science and technology?

Improvements, material collection, and gradual improvement are always being done, and at the same time, larger sailboats are being prepared.

Flying clippers, in later generations, in the 19th century, once had more than 1,000 tons, for the Dinghai Navy, the most suitable, but also the most mature, is between 300 tons and 600 tons, although the tonnage is large, not necessarily a certain speed, but the tonnage is large, for ocean navigation, it is still useful, not to mention, a 300-ton displacement, with a 2000-ton displacement ship, not to mention other aspects, simply its own weight and layout, can be more suitable for the ocean, and the future, Ships of greater tonnage, even terrible tonnage, began to appear on the oceans, even if they kept climbing.

A new system of clippers has made plans, the first is a displacement of several 1,800 tons of clippers, the weight is only about 800 tons, compared with the previous one, almost doubled, the total amount of full load is also much larger, and even speed and stability and many other aspects, there is a lot of improvement.

Larger ships can support the Dinghai Navy, keep climbing, constantly expanding the scope of search, and lay the foundation for the road to the Americas, which has been supported by the whole country, and the number of front-line explorers alone has exceeded 30,000, and the follow-up support has almost 150,000 people, and the two combined, almost 200,000, although the personnel are not very many,

However, for the current Dinghai Navy, it is already good to be able to dispatch 200,000 professional and technical personnel, and how many people in the Dinghai Navy are suitable for navigation and willing to take risks at sea, almost all of them have been sent here, and in the follow-up factories, they have also produced a large number of supplies according to their actual situation and some habits used.

When the exploration of the Kuril Islands and the Kamchatka Peninsula reached a certain level, the design of the next stage of the clipper ship was basically completed.

In the past, it was close to the land, or in other words, it was relatively close to the land, and if you encountered a problem, as long as you turned back, you could always reach the land, and you could just look for the direction.

But in the future, in the exploration of the Aleutian Islands, this is not the case, the sea is vast, only such a circular island, and even the number of islands, compared with the huge ocean, can not be compared at all, in this case, the larger the ship, the higher the fault tolerance.

At the level of Zhao Xin, he even said that at present, Zhuang Ji's position, facing the exploration of the ocean, will definitely not be merciful, and someone will inevitably have to make sacrifices.

However, this sacrifice does not mean a fearless sacrifice, the previous clipper ship, fast and fast, but in the face of storm resistance, it is too poor, seaworthiness is only one aspect of the reason, the key problem is also tonnage.

A 500-ton ship is certainly different from a 1,000-ton ship, and a small sail of several tens of tons, even if it concentrates the high-tech of the 21st century, his ability to resist wind and waves may not be inferior to the simplest 2,000-ton fishing boat.

This is the benefit of tonnage, why the ability of warships to resist wind and waves is strong, the scientific and technological content of the ship is the clothing moth, and more importantly, the tonnage, only warships can spare no effort to pile tonnage.

The dimensions of the Kuril Islands, because they are at high latitudes, will not have tropical storms near the tropics, that is, it is unlikely that there will be storms of more than 12 levels, but the wind above level 8 has a great impact on the clippers, and 890% of the sunken ships are because the wind and waves are too large.

In the design of this heart ship, the enlargement is certain, from about 300 to 400 tons, suddenly increased to about 1200 tons to 1400 tons, which is equal to more than 3 times the expansion at once, which represents the ability to resist the storm has been improved a lot, at the same time, some unique designs, the design of the hull and the superstructure, are more in line with the performance of the ship, in the event of such a storm, the possibility of sinking is reduced a lot.

Of course, considering the driving habits and the seamless connection, some of the characteristics are still similar to the previous boats, and it is very good to do this.

The construction of 30 such ships was temporarily started, and basically, they were all sent to Shoji, and in the future, after testing and research, and after the final determination of the model, it will be mass-produced.

Zhuang Ji spent 3 days, carefully selected, and finally selected the ship, the clipper ship also arrived at the middle of the No. 1, the first time he saw such a new style of clipper, he threw the original selection of the ship, to the clouds. Just kidding, the obviously larger ship, or the Ship Research Institute, spent several months of effort, and the new generation of ships that came out of research is definitely stronger than the original.

Zhuang Ji directly selected 60 groups of people and began to drive this clipper boat to Blu-ray Island, and it was only after getting started that he felt the difference in this boat.

First of all, the handling, the use of various machinery, converges into a system, once the wind changes, through a few simple adjustments, the best angle can be obtained.

This convenience is much improved compared to the previous clipper boat, especially in the changing wind conditions, which can maximize the use of wind power of all parties.

In the process of going to Blu-ray Island, I also tried this speed, and the average speed was at least 2 knots higher than that of the original clipper.

Don't underestimate the average speed of 2 knots, under the high speed of the clipper ship, you can also increase the average speed of 2 knots, this speed is very impressive, for the expedition, according to 12 hours of exploration a day, an increase of 2 knots per hour, which means that the range that can be detected every day will be 40 kilometers more.

40 kilometers a day is nothing, but over time, the overall efficiency has been improved, and it is also very considerable, which is only an improvement, as well as various equipment.

For example, telescopes, navigational exploration, lookout first, the farther you can see, the higher the efficiency, this can be a little faster than the speed, much improved.

Previously, based on the characteristics of the clipper itself, coupled with the lower superstructure, the entire clipper ship, at most, is a mast more than ten meters high, even if the speed of the telescope is high, there is a limit, that is, it is blocked by the earth itself.

The height can increase the range, but for the clipper, if the height is raised fearlessly, it will cause a series of problems such as the center of gravity.

However, the flying clipper ship that has been expanded three or four times is not only an increase in tonnage, he includes many aspects, and the height is also the same, the mast of the new clipper is at least 15 meters higher than the original, and the area and distance of detection are much higher than before, which is the best detection.

There are not only speed and observation, but also some sporadic modifications, these modifications, it seems that the improvement is not large, but for safety and the special effect of exploration, there are improvements.

Those who can be selected and drive these clippers are all very outstanding existences, even if they have just come into contact with this boat, they fall in love with this boat, compared with this new clipper, the previous clippers are really too bad.

From the Central No. 1 to Blu-ray Island, a total of about 1,000 kilometers of voyage, with the speed of the clipper ship, an average speed of 16 knots, 14 hours a day, two and a half days, it will arrive, the efficiency has improved a lot, at the same time, some simple efficacy has been tested, but also proved the exploration ability of this ship, which is really like a tiger for the exploration fleet.

Zhuang Ji asked for the first time to equip as many of these ships as possible, with this new type of clippers, the previous ships, there really doesn't mean much.

The productivity of the Dinghai Navy has always been very terrible, as long as the drawings are determined, it can be built on a large scale, but this is 1300 tons of this grade, and there are fewer docks that can produce it, and at the same time, he has concentrated a lot of high-tech in the Dinghai Navy, and the difficulty of production is also increasing, and it is expected to complete the 300 ships required by Zhuang Ji, at least 3 months.

Three months is not a lot of time at all, for a long exploration of 5 years, or even longer, he waited, but during this time, he did not waste, made reasonable use of 30 ships and other clippers, carried out preliminary exploration work, and began to try to penetrate deep into the balance of the ocean on the basis of the Kamchatka Peninsula.

The islands around the Kamchatka Peninsula are not few, and which one is the Aleutian Islands, then it is necessary to continue to search, first determine the surroundings, and then go deep into the ocean, this process, many choices will be made, and finally, under the comprehensive exploration, you can still find the right direction.

In fact, the fleet led by Zhuang Ji was still a little lucky, after completing the in-depth investigation of the 30 islands, they finally determined the direction of the Aleutian Islands, began to go deep into the islands, set the navy's exploration fleet, and after laying a solid foundation, set sail into the Pacific Ocean, and moved along the right path.
