The appearance of the Flying Fish class represents the speed of the fixed navy, breaking through a certain limit, and speeding up the long-distance navigation at sea a lot.

Propellers, there is no problem of coordination, as long as there is a sufficiently stable transmission device, the force can be summed up as much as possible.

In fact, the maximum speed of this boat, loaded with sails and propellers, can even reach 18 knots, which is basically close to the top speed of the sails.

It's just that it has limited tonnage and poor endurance to cross the oceans, and at most, it's in East Asia, to be exact, China's four major inland seas to complete the work.

Even so, the efficiency of the Exocet class is very amazing, especially under the current premise, it is a very suitable ship.

At present, the Dinghai Navy is ready to develop the Ryukyus, from the Dinghai Navy to the Ryukyus, a distance of about 3,000 miles, and it takes a month for the general sailing ship to go back and forth.

If you use the Exocet-class, such a ship with an average speed of 15 knots can almost be more than 1,800 miles a day, and it can be reached in two days at most, and it will take no more than five days to go back and forth.

This is an astonishing speed, and in the future, when the Ryukyus develop greatly, the communication between the two places must be fast and close, and this ship can come in handy.

In fact, many people are optimistic about the Flying Fish level, but Zhao Xin knows that this is another kind of cheating method that uses advanced technology and card system to forcibly manufacture, and it does not have the possibility of mass production.

This, at most, can only be used as an unconventional project, for the liaison between the Dinghai Navy and the Ryukyus, which is more suitable, as long as the typhoon weather is avoided, you can freely travel between the Ryukyus and the Dinghai, similar to the 800-mile expedited.

Communication ships are a minority, at the time of the current sea trials, there has not been a leak to the outside, and the fastest ship known at present is a fast transport ship.

It takes the fast road, mostly to transport some time-sensitive goods, saving two or three days, may be able to create high profits.

Of course, if the navy develops to a certain extent in the future, it has a base located in a farther place, such as going deep into the depths of the ocean, or crossing Malacca, entering the Indian Ocean, this fast sailing ship can also be used for communication, as long as it is slightly adjusted, in increasing the speed of one or two knots, it is possible, in the same way, their tonnage is larger, about 10,000 materials, at most lighter, can also accommodate enough supplies, through long-distance sailing.

Corresponding to the fast sailing ship, another kind of ship, of course, is a slow transport ship, the slowness of this kind of transport ship is compared with the Chinese sailing ship, about 2 knots lower than the average speed of the sailing ship, the average speed of more than 6 knots, but also surpassing the previous Chinese sailing ship, relatively fast.

The characteristics of this kind of boat, in terms of carrying capacity, are far beyond the European sailing boats, of course, not as good as the flat-bottomed boats.

Sailing ships pay attention to stability under high sea conditions, and are not prone to danger, but because of the increased height, his carrying capacity is slightly smaller, which cannot be compared with flat-bottomed boats.

The flat-bottomed boat can have more volume under the premise of the same draft, which is determined by physical characteristics, unless the Dinghai Navy can develop a technology similar to that of later generations, otherwise, in the era of sailing, he can not improve, only moderate adjustment.

The shipyard, after absorbing the advantages of Chinese-style sailing ships and European sailing ships, coupled with some simple knowledge of Zhao Xin's consulting era, increased the volume under the premise of moderately reducing the speed, and this increase was not to convert to Chinese-style sailing ships, but to take into account.

Under the premise of no pool experiment, many shipbuilders can only be surveyed and mapped according to the drawings, and manufactured, to know whether it is good or not, sometimes, an excellent ship type, will be used for many years, before the modification is completed, once it reaches a more classic state, it will generally not be changed.

Similar to the Spanish galleon, from the beginning of its formation, it has been across the sea for decades, and so is the Galen ship.

However, with the pool experiment, whether a ship is good or not, its fluid state, and its attitude in the water can be studied through the pool experiment, even if it is completely unfamiliar, as long as you master some mechanical formulas and basic knowledge, you can also get it through calculation.

This greatly makes up for the lack of designers and senior shipwrights in the Dinghai Navy, the progress of the ship type is very fast, sometimes, an experimental ship, has not been designed, just on the drawings, several changes have been made, and when it is finally made, there will be almost no major problems, rather than the traditional one, to try with human life.

The sea is ruthless, even if it is a perfect ship, when facing the sea, it will encounter such and such problems, let alone imperfection, which is also the reason why it is very difficult for the shipwrights of the Northern Song Dynasty to upgrade.

From 200 materials to 1000 materials, it takes 15 years, even if it is fast, sometimes, it takes 30 years, or even never upgraded.

The reason is very simple, it is one aspect that the master keeps one hand, and the other reason is that safety, once the ship sinks, it must have an impact on a shipyard, and the unlucky sinking one after another, a shipyard that should have been prosperous and enlarged, and even have the possibility of going out of business.

This kind of slow transport ship, with reference to the style of the sailboat, lowers the number of sails, increases a certain height and width, and reduces the unnecessary space as much as possible, increases the number of storage, and even the water vault below, if it is really needed, can also be loaded.

This ship is slightly lower than that of a Chinese-style sailing ship, but it is the best cargo ship in terms of speed and overall ability.

The total tonnage of about 10,000 materials can accommodate the level of cargo that can be accommodated has increased by almost 50% compared with the original sailing ship, which is limited compared to the Chinese-style sailing ship.

The most important thing is that his boat is very suitable for the ocean, because the tonnage is sufficient, and the unique design is sometimes more suitable than sailing ships in some high sea conditions.

At present, this experimental ship has carried out two transportation missions to the Yangtze River Basin, and their transportation has been completed well, faster and more stable than the Chinese sailing ship.

As for the armed supply ships, they were made on the basis of the warship, not for the present, but for the future, and the guns were installed on the ship to prepare.

A battleship, such as a first-class battleship, may have 150 guns, and on the battlefield, a gun must maintain about 30 rounds of ammunition, which is a large number, and gunpowder plus shells almost occupies a lot of space on the entire warship.

Not to mention, there are also people, on the battleship, a gun, at least 3-4 people need to operate, so that the simple gunner is 600 people, plus some escort infantry, some of the taxes responsible for controlling the ship, these people are numerous, a ship is almost a thousand people.

The cost of 1,000 people is huge, and this is also the reason why most warships, when fighting, will not run far away, more than 1,000 nautical miles, which is already the limit of most warships.

In the middle of the 19th century, Britain was able to show off its military might all over the world, and every ship did not come from Britain, and they were all over the colonies and military ports around the world, giving them huge support for their global strategy.

Crossing more than half the world, more than 10,000 nautical miles, not only is it a huge test for personnel and supplies, but also for the ship itself, in the 19th century, during the Russo-Japanese War, in order to gain superiority at sea, Russia mobilized warships thousands of miles away.

First of all, the Suez Canal was not used by the British, and he had to make a detour to the Cape of Good Hope, and then most of the British ports were not used, so they had to rely on French ports.

It took half a year to finally arrive in East Asia, but in the end it was extremely tired, obviously higher than Japan in all aspects of strength, but it suffered a defeat, not only did it not work, but was won by the other side.

In the early days, there were no supply ships in the sequence of warships, at most, there were some supply ships, which either followed the navy or moved nearby.

Truly specialized supply ships were in World War II, and even after World War II.

This kind of ship, which looks like a transport ship, is a standard for warships, and can follow the fleet and sail.

At the same time, it is quite technologically advanced, pursuing efficiency and speed, rather than the traditional, using small boats for transshipment.

Sometimes, it takes two or three days, or even longer, for a ship to complete the supply, but it is not used when it is placed on the supply ship.

It is loaded with a large number of supplies, and these supplies are not casually placed, there are professional things, which can accurately and quickly load the supplies on the warship, and even for this reason, the warship will be improved to a certain extent to adapt to the supply ship.

Now, the only warship in the Dinghai Navy is still a strong crossbow used, it does not cost much, it does not need too many supplies, just the battleship itself carries, it can continue to fight for a long time, and the supply ship is more of an attempt, an attempt to a new ship.

In the first batch of sailing ships, after completing similar modifications, the ships that started construction after the Dinghai Navy also have their own focuses, shouldering some projects of the research institute, that is, to the Dinghai Shipyard, began to stabilize the basic structure, with a more general structure, the foundation was built, and the 12,000 ships of the Dinghai Shipyard are basically the same.

This information is not confidential, the heads of these factories, their ranks, can also get these news through some channels, they are also after inquiring, only to know that it turns out that in the shipyard, the construction of so many ships has been completed, there are already more than 20 large ships, and a lot of them have already begun to be completed, and the construction can be completed in half a month at most.

This is a big thing, they built the wharf, in order to improve the efficiency of transportation, now, the wharf thing, can only be called half completed, 2 wharves, a large factory to control one, it is better than nothing, but in terms of capacity, not only the wharf, the wharf alone can not solve all the problems.

The wharf only solves part of the problem, the real problem lies in the ship, before, there were foreign ships, once the monsoon season comes, these ships are gone, what are they going to do, there is no wharf without ships, and there is no way to complete the expansion of capacity.

Now there is a ship, it is different, as long as the import and export volume is slightly larger, there must be a ship, although, the Navy Pier will be unified allocation, the current capacity is less, can not be done on demand, can only be in accordance with the order, even the means of administrative intervention, can not be used,

If there is a ship, it will be a great promotion for the improvement of these factories, and the efficiency will be improved, which also means higher profits.

At this moment, from the port to the ship, the interest in the ship has increased significantly, and the 20 ships of the Dinghai shipyard are, of course, the focus, and then, other shipyards.

In the eyes of the heads of these enterprises, Dinghai Shipyard is the benchmark, yes the test product, once the experiment passes, it will definitely copy this experience, similar things have been carried out countless times in the Dinghai Navy,

The most obvious example is the steel-making plant, in the initial small blast furnace, to the large blast furnace, to the finalization, at the beginning, there was no expansion at all, almost all the power was concentrated on the initial high-rise building, and then with a series of progress, and after it was stable and reasonable, it was a large-scale expansion, one into two, and then four or eight, like the expansion of the multiplier, so that the Dinghai Navy had a huge steel plant.

This is right, it will expand, but the existing ones are the focus, this is the only batch of ships that the Navy has been able to grow in the recent past, and it is advanced in performance.

There are fewer ships, more demand, similar to steel mills and cement plants, such super factories, their freight volume is very huge, and the scale of at least 5 million tons in a year, even if it is 10,000 tons a day, it is not enough.

Of course, the more they are, the better, and the same is true for others, no one wants to be left behind at this time, and under their joint competition, there are only 20 ships, even if you add other shipyards, it is only thirty or forty ships, and it is really more than a monk.

The competition of many enterprises, especially the fierce competition, suddenly exposed the entire Dinghai Naval Shipyard to the vision of the Dinghai Navy, because of the competition for ships, the impact caused by it has also begun to become more and more intense.

At first, it was only these factories that competed, mainly transport ships, but soon the Material Support Bureau joined, and they were responsible for the entire foundation of the Dinghai Navy, ensuring that more than 2 million people had enough food and various living resources on the islands, and they demanded that these ships be used for support transportation.

Their accession announced that they had entered the government from commercial activities, and after they joined, the Industrial Bureau also joined, and then the military department, and all of a sudden, almost the entire Dinghai power department was involved, and its influence began to expand.
