Renzong hid from Concubine Miao for a few days, but unfortunately Concubine Miao did not give up, and there was nowhere to get angry if she wanted to.

It was only on a small scale, mainly at the level of participating in political affairs, that matter was raised, but after it was proposed, it was not met with large-scale opposition, especially Han Qi, the first assistant seemed to have been waiting for this matter, and even proposed that if Concubine Miao went to Liao, he would go with him.

It turned out that during this period of time, Dongfu discussed this matter a lot, Dinghai sent diplomats to show some goodwill, but this goodwill is not enough, they must ensure that according to Han Qi's understanding of Zhao Xin, Zhao Xin is a filial piety, maybe to Renzong, there is not much performance, for Concubine Miao, that is really filial piety.

As long as Concubine Miao comes out, at least a relatively long contract can be reached, so that you can rest assured, of course, the contract is not a guarantee, otherwise, after the alliance of Lanyuan, there will not be so many fortifications built in Hebei, and a lot of money will be spent on this.

In the eyes of these governors, the Dinghai Navy has only been developed for so long, and it has the current situation, and they should be able to learn a lot from a comprehensive study of the Northern Song Dynasty.

Renzong also thought that he would encounter huge opposition, and even had the idea of fighting a protracted war, but he didn't expect this at all, and he had already promised Concubine Miao, and with the consent of the first assistants, this matter was basically determined, and there was no need to even discuss it at the court meeting.

Although it is said that the governors and political affairs unanimously agree that there will not be much turmoil, but there are not a few old scholars there, and those who admit the truth of death will not listen to you at all, and it will not be good to start any twists and turns.

Anyway, the ability of many governors to control the court, put this matter in a small scope, and it is enough to make no fanfare.

Soon, the entire envoy team was also selected, led by Han Qi, Fu Bi and other at least 5 political colleagues, as well as a large number of young officials and technical officials, their purpose is to communicate with the Dinghai Navy in an all-round way, and strive to learn everything.

In order to achieve this goal, even Fu Bi planned to go in advance, at least 4 months in advance, to improve the envoy team, and take the first batch of officials to study, and later, when it was 2 months before the founding ceremony, Concubine Miao and they would set off.

For this reason, the Northern Song Dynasty sent a note to inform the Dinghai Navy.

Dinghai, when receiving this notice, Zhao Xin was not in Shenyang, the current Shenyang, is a large construction site, has not been completely completed under the premise of relatively noisy, after settling down the affairs of Shenyang, Zhao Xin's work, mainly to walk in all sides, although it is said that for the Dingjun, the most important thing, is the construction of Shenyang, the national capital and a large industrial base, but other places, are also very important.

Huludao, a city on the shore of the Bohai Sea, used to be just a fishing village, since the Ding Navy occupied the Liao State, it was developed, initially, it was just a port, and the materials transported from the Ding Navy were continuously injected into it, and transported to the Liao State by road, supporting the action of exterminating the Liao, as well as the follow-up construction, and with the gradual reduction of the battle, the control of the Ding Navy over the Liao State was gradually strengthened, and new changes have taken place here.

The Bohai Sea, because there is no super river inflow, in fact, from ancient times to the present, has not changed much, or even slightly reduced, but the general shape, there are not too many changes, the relatively stable semi-inland sea, is the best place as a shipbuilding base, perhaps not as good as Vladivostok in the north, because it is not close to the origin of raw materials, but the safety performance is better.

Here, it will become a new base for the future Dinghai Navy, and along the Bohai Sea, a series of shipbuilding bases will be established.

It's a pity that now, the Dingjun Navy has not completely conquered the steam engine, with the help of alternative products, at the current laboratory level, it is possible to have sealed things, but the cost is too high, not suitable for popularization, the cost of a steam engine, as high as 400,000 yuan, said to be made of gold, can not be said to be wrong.

Such a thing can only be studied in the laboratory and continued to be improved, but it cannot be actually put into use, even if it is used on a warship.

The current warships of the Dinghai Navy are the best in the world in terms of combat effectiveness, and it can be said unceremoniously that a detachment of fleets can almost beat the whole world, in this case, it is not impossible to find trouble when starting with all-steel steam warships, not to mention that the steam engine is not very big, and a battleship may require hundreds, or even more steam engines.

A steam engine is 400,000 yuan, hundreds of it, it costs 40 million yuan, this money used to be twice the annual income of the Northern Song Dynasty, even if it is a fixed navy, now the income is very large, very terrible, it is impossible to invest in such a warship endlessly, not to mention, the reliability is not strong.

The sail gunboat, under the study of the Dinghai Navy, has reached a certain extreme, with the help of the theory of the pool, can be speculated at this speed of various ship types, have been speculated to the extreme, compared with the ship a few years ago, the increase is not much, but in the total weight, load capacity, and speed, have been slightly improved.

These seemingly small improvements, the overall bonus, for the entire ship, more than 50%, the most important thing, the reliability has been improved a lot, and even some freight, military, and armed sailing ships, etc., each different use, has a unique ship type.

In the future, Huludao shipbuilding will not be dominated by sailboats, sailboats are placed further south, here as the future, connecting Shenyang's largest port, military port, at the same time, it is also a research institute for new ships.

New ships, without steam power, sail ships, is not without research, in the Spanish sailing ships, after the development of multi-layer turrets to the extreme, they focus on firepower and heavy, but the ship is not only firepower, for the ship, speed, is also a very important step.

Since its birth, the ship has gone in two directions, one direction of volume and weight, the volume and weight are getting bigger and bigger, representing the ship, which can hold more cargo, and the other direction, of course, is speed.

From the very beginning, holding a wooden stick, a raft made of various trees, this is the ancient primitive man's practice of changing nature, an impassable river, with the help of a raft to pass, and in the river, catch fish, solve the problem of survival.

After that, the shape of the raft, the penny of the raft, these things will evolve over time, and the speed of the boat will become faster and faster, from canoes and rafts, to more sails, and at the same time, various types of boats will also begin to change, safer and faster.

The Spanish sailing ship developed the heavy gunboat to the extreme, and the flying clipper ship brought the speed to the extreme.

Zhao Xin didn't have much research on the flying clipper, but he knew that the flying clipper got its name from breaking the waves, and its front should be higher than the rear, that is, it should be a hollow bow.

When I looked back on the news later, most of the rumors that traveled around the world were lighter materials, the length-to-width ratio was terrible, and the cabin of a ship was small, that is, only one or two people lived, but the overall sail was relatively large.

From this, it can be analyzed that the relatively high aspect ratio, low water holding capacity, and a large number of sails are such boats that are born for speed.

When Zhao Xin informed the shipbuilder of these main conditions, the shipbuilder began to study and determine the navy's unique education system, especially basic, mathematics and physics, with scientific theories to explain, and use the pool to verify, so that the promotion of the ship is quite strong.

Maybe those old shipwrights, they are old and weak, and they can't learn the more advanced knowledge of the Dingnai, but those who are a little younger, or more talented, they can.

Although Dingjun pursues more talented and naturally strong people, he also pays attention to collective strength, and the research institute of the clipper has concentrated at least 50 elite researchers, who have begun to study within the scope planned by Zhao Xin.

For clippers, there have been enough research results, the proportion of the hull, the hollow bow, the arrangement of various sails, these in the pool experiment, found that their effect is very good, for the utilization of wind power has been improved by more than one grade, safety can also be guaranteed.

From the model in the laboratory, to the pool experiment, from 1:1000, to 1:500, and now, to the 1:20 model experiment, the pool has been relatively well completed, and the construction of the first clipper has also begun.

Dinghai's fixed production, from steel keels to various sub-projects, and a large number of familiar shipwrights, these people work together, a flying clipper ship with a gross tonnage of about 50 tons, it is estimated that it will take about 10 days to complete production.

This ship has also become the first ship of Huludao Shipyard, only about 100 tons of dock, soon laid keel, in pieces of wood, are installed on the sailboat, the whole sailboat is about to complete the equipment, Zhao Xin arrived here to visit.

Zhao Xin didn't know that the first flying scissor was about to be completed, if he knew, he would not come so early, he would only wait until the first few experiments of the flying scissor were completed and accumulated enough experience before coming to watch, so that it would not put huge pressure on the researchers.

However, this happened to happen, and I took advantage of the situation to see that today's wind is not strong, and in the Bohai Sea, there are not many currents, which is not very conducive to the clipper ship and exerts its technical strength.

The Navy detects the clipper, not only relying on speed, this test, speed is one aspect, mainly the force area, as well as the clipper, in a certain state, the proportion of the force, and the speed effect.

This point has already been tested in the pool and has been relatively well tested, and this time, it is just a verification.

The arrival of Zhao Xin was an accident and gave the researchers a certain amount of pressure, but what kind of person Zhao Xin is, he also has some experience in experiments, experimental ships, that is, experimental ships, it has many shortcomings, and there are some uncertainties, and it can be completed in a handful.

However, Zhao Xin has always encouraged them, and specifically mentioned that there is no problem, finding and solving problems is the role of sea trials.

The researchers were relaxed, but for most people, it was best if there were no problems, and it was really best if they could complete the test satisfactorily in one go.

However, I was afraid of something, and soon after I was launched, the speed of the clipper boat increased significantly because of a sudden strong wind, like an arrow from the string, and went forward, and the speed was raised, but the person in charge of the experiment turned pale.

This has been tested in the pool experiment, the clipper has a certain limit, beyond a certain speed, under the uneven force, it is easy to roll over, of course, the greater the weight, the larger the scale, the more difficult.

In the future, the total tonnage of the clipper ship will be positioned at about 600 tons, and the loading capacity is very small, that is, fast, so that it can almost support a speed of about 18 knots.

No matter how fast, pure sail ship, 18 knots is already a very terrible speed, and it can not reach 20 knots, and the maximum speed of the clipper ship can indeed exceed 20 knots, but it is under a special premise, smooth sailing, generally speaking, 15 knots is the average high speed.

About 600 tons of clippers, not to mention such a wind, even if it is a storm, it can be supported, this according to the proportion, tested in the pool experiment, but this 50-ton clippers, 10 times smaller, of course, can't hold up, after the speed soared, quickly, it overturned.

The sailors, as much as possible to control the ship, but compared to nature, their strength is too weak, barely controlled, under the continuous increase in speed, under the full application of the power of the sail, so that the small boat of less than 50 tons, reached its peak, and finally capsized.

The researcher in charge of this experiment was like ashes, if this problem occurred under normal circumstances, it would be a big deal to go back and find out where the problem was, find the cause, and solve it, but this problem just appeared in front of Zhao Xin, I really don't know what Zhao Xin would think.

The people on the shore are jumping chickens and dogs, the boat capsizes, and they must rescue people, this boat is a little farther away, almost more than 20 kilometers away from the shore, even if it is the fastest boat, it takes almost half an hour to be, after arranging people to rescue, the person in charge honestly came to Zhao Xin, waiting for criticism.
