The person in charge of the factory, in Dingjun, can be regarded as a middle level, the location of the shipyard is on both sides of the newly built canal in Dingjun, they are all concerned about the matter of the wharf, why, do not know about the shipyard, and even the shipyard, the types of ships that can be produced, isn't it irresponsible?

Saying this, they are really wronged, not everyone knows the development of the Dinghai Navy, even the heads of these enterprises are no exception, it's not that they are not serious enough, but the Dinghai Navy is too big.

From Zhao Xin's entry into the Dinghai Navy, it has been almost two years, and in the past two years, the development of the Dinghai Navy has been very large.

From a small fishing village with a few hundred households, the entire population may not be able to exceed 2,000 people, to the current huge city with not only a population of more than 2 million, but also a variety of industries and manufacturing industries.

The development of quantity to a certain extent will inevitably lead to qualitative changes, just like a small remote village, there are only a few dozen households, I am afraid that the quarrel between the two families tonight will spread to the entire village tomorrow.

In this village, the east and west families know that any outsider entering the village will also be noticed.

But when this number expands to townships, counties, and governments, it is different.

In the county seat, what happened to a rice shop owner may not be known to the owner of the tea shop.

This is the case even in a county, not to mention, Dingjun is already a huge city of 2 million people, and in terms of urban population, it is already the first in the Northern Song Dynasty.

At present, the population of 1 million in Bianliang is still doubtful, and it is said that the population around Bianliang and the entire Gyeonggi city are included in it.

The population of the Dinghai Navy is real, the population represents the foundation of the Dinghai, without enough population, the Dinghai Navy will not be able to produce enough goods, the person in charge of any region, the first and foremost problem, is to determine how many people there are in this area.

The dense population and the vast cities are the main reason why the news is not easy to spread, and another reason is that the pace of the Dinghai Navy is too fast.

Why do rural village women have a short family in the east and a short family in the west, the countryside is relatively closed and lacks entertainment activities, any topic of the east and the west can be used as entertainment to enrich the lives of these village women.

But the bigger reason is that it is idle.

Yes, it seems that farmers work very hard, working every day at sunrise and resting at sunset, but in fact, for farmers, a lot of labor is repetitive or even useless.

Take care of the crops, you don't have to do it every day, you can water when it's time to water, fertilize when you fertilize, and then pay attention to weeding, you don't have to go to work every day.

As for others, for example, some work outside of agriculture seems to be needed in the countryside, but it is also some wasteful labor that does not make the best use of the labor force.

Even the farmers are like this, when the farmers are idle, the village women are even more so, a group of people are idle and have nothing to do, there is only chattering, so the east and west are short.

In Dingjun, going to work is like a war, the lowest income of 30 is obtained in high-intensity work, after work, or because of fatigue and rest, or for the future to study, no matter which one, anyone is relatively busy, and there is no time to care about these parents' short things.

Under the general environment, it is not easy to spread news about all aspects of the Dinghai Navy, and these responsible persons, a set of things in their own hands, have already occupied all their minds, let alone take care of other things.

This is also the fundamental reason why these people in charge, who did not know that the shipyard had such a large ship before.

The development speed of the Dinghai Navy is too fast, so fast that there is a sense of rapid change, which these responsible persons have experienced very well in their own fields.

For example, it seems that after the restrictions, the total tonnage of steel and cement plants has not changed much, and even decreased slightly, which is not that they are regressing, but improving.

Take the steel plant as an example, 2 million tons of steel, of which more than 9 percent, is the most primary crude steel or ordinary iron, after a series of new product input, at present, the hardness of more than 5.7 hard steel, has broken through 3 percent, of which a variety of special steel, has become the mainstream.

It seems that there is no large-span increase in output, but in fact, various indicators, the quality of steel, I don't know how much.

The same is true for cement plants, the production of grades, from the original level, has increased by about two or three grades, which represents the improvement of cement hardness and other indicators.

Under the premise of determining the total amount, improve the quality, this is also the requirement of the navy, the meaning it represents, completely different, as long as the point is firmly maintained, even if the technology of the navy is difused, it is learned by others, and the navy will be in the forefront.

This is the key to competition in later generations, commodities are different from others, as long as they are sold, they will definitely be studied, will be interpreted by others, and they may be able to earn a temporary fortune by grasping the formula, but once the opponent breaks through, leaving you behind, it is much more difficult to chase.

Continuous research and development, standing at the forefront, this is the foundation to ensure long-term stability and high profits.

Now, Dinghai is a restriction on high-end steel, except for the internal use of Dingjun, rarely supplied to the outside, but in the future, once someone in the Northern Song Dynasty interprets the steel manufacturing of Dingjun, the steelmaking plant that has invested a lot of money can only go to low-end sales in the end, and cannot shake the foundation of Dingjun, you can see the benefits of strengthening research.

It was the theory of one acre and three points of land that made them make up their minds and start fighting for these ships after a little understanding.

These people in charge, why did they think that occupying some of the share of the shipyard and building ports and wharves did not affect anything, their idea was that in the previous understanding of the shipyard, at most a little bit of the speed of the navy was added.

But shipyards, that's technical work, a lot of things, not you think about it, you can improve, in their opinion, according to the most normal development, if it is faster, it will take a year or two to complete.

No one thought that the speed of the shipyard would be so fast, and there is an exception in the middle, that is, the Dinghai Shipyard, other shipyards are still the same, there are keels laid, but there are not many, or according to the traditional faster method, but the Dinghai Shipyard is like a stacked block, magically speeding up.

A large ship with thousands of materials, for any shipyard, it takes a long time to be able to build, but in Dinghai Shipyard, all kinds of new tools, as well as industrialized processes, for example, reduce all kinds of waiting, reduce the waste between some processes, only 20 days, to complete the foundation construction, and then adjust according to the functionality.

The speed of production is simply amazing, looking at a ship with distinct characteristics of the sail era, just like this in the dock, not to mention these responsible persons, even those shipwrights, it is also amazing.

The level of these shipwrights is not high, and the highest is only to independently lead the construction of a 200-material boat.

A craftsman, if he wants to go from low to high, not only takes a long time, from 200 materials to 800 materials, at least 15 years, and then up, it is not time to decide, opportunities, talents, and other things, these are indispensable.

It was only when they came to Dinghai that they knew that what they had mastered before was just scratching the surface, if they hadn't learned so many things in Dinghai, let alone building these, it would be difficult for ordinary ships.

In addition to the top-secret things in the research institute, there are very few other things in the Dinghai Navy, and there is no need for this, especially for these middle-level personnel, which is even more open.

Anyway, they are all the heads of large factories, and their level of secrecy is also quite high, plus their respective channels, they know that up to now, the Dinghai Navy has completed the construction of a total of 22 ships.

These ships are large and small, and the four largest of them are the most important ships of the future Dinghai Navy.

The person in charge is most concerned about this, after seeing the speed of Dinghai, thousands of materials are already a little outdated, and only ten thousand materials can be carried.

4 completely completed, the largest ship in the Dinghai Navy, the first one, has been transformed into a warship, and returned to the dock, a series of modifications, before for an emergency departure, no way, will choose to be sun-fitting in advance, now, will be modified according to some characteristics of the warship, of course, some feedback from Zhang Zhonghe, is also an important aspect, these are the real first-hand information.

Now, this ship, no longer in the Dinghai Navy, went to the Ryukyus with the Navy to escort the fleet and defend the Ryukyus.

Due to the lack of transportation capacity, the Dinghai rented a large number of merchant ships from merchants in the face of the natives of the Ryukyus, which were used for transportation between the Dinghai and the Ryukyus.

These merchant ships have a certain ability to protect themselves, and not all of them are safe at sea, and the sea merchants have raised a lot of private armies.

The navy had very little force, and there was no need to equip a large number of troops for these merchant ships, so the escort was chosen, and the only warship became an important force for escort, and it would also join the Ryukyu navy.

This ship, which is impossible to come back, is not the focus of their attention.

In addition to the largest one, the others have also been adjusted, and the remaining three, two are transport ships and one is a supply ship, and they are three, with different functions and different emphases.

In between, even if it is the same transport ship, there is a certain difference, a fast transport ship, a slow transport ship.

Named fast and slow, this represents two directions, one is the pursuit of speed, after putting aside some unnecessary things, increasing the area of the sail, and making a series of improvements to the hull, the final formation of a fast transport ship.

Compared with the general sailboat, at least a knot or so, which is not particularly obvious in the short distance, once on the long distance, it is very amazing, an hour of a section, a day is 24 knots, 10 days 240 knots, maybe 30 days of voyage, at least three or four days in advance.

This is very important for the navy, which is dominated by sea and islands, and if these transport ships are miniaturized and strengthened, this will become a means of long-distance communication for the navy before the appearance of clippers.

In terms of the development of the Ryukyus, the Dinghai Navy was fed up with the impact of poor news, and if it wasn't for the Dinghai's sufficient family background and the construction of sufficient defense facilities, it might have been pushed by the natives.

Perhaps, the loss of a few hundred people is not too high for the Dinghai Navy, which has several million people, and the loss of a few hundred people will soon be able to make up for it.

However, the significance of the Ryukyus is very crucial, and the task of going to the island in advance is to lay the foundation for a large-scale landing later, and if the vanguard is affected, the situation in the development of the Ryukyus will definitely be affected, and it will be delayed for three months, six months, or even a year.

For the Dinghai Navy, the question of money is the least important issue, but the question of time is very crucial.

Since Zhao Xin came to the Northern Song Dynasty, he has carried a huge sense of urgency, and under the impetus of such a sense of urgency, many of his steps are somewhat radical.

Whether it is a steel plant or a cement plant, these tonnage things are not something that can be developed in this era, or even in hundreds of years, but Zhao Xin just did it.

Ryukyu is a treasure land, a very large treasure land with a lot of land, and if Zhao Xin wants to build heavy industry, people and raw materials are important, but reasonable land and sufficient location are also very important.

Zhao Xin is deeply aware of the fact that one wrong step is the fastest stage of the development of the navy, and there must be no slowdown.

A lack of information made Ding Haijun worry for more than half a month, thousands of miles away, he could only wait, this feeling was not what Zhao Xin wanted to see.

This is just a Ryukyu like this, and if the future Hainan and many islands in the north are taken down, it will be difficult to get the radio out.

Zhao Xin knows a little bit of the principle of radio, with this principle, in the Northern Song Dynasty, to get the radio out, but also reliable, this is almost impossible, even if it is done, the laying of a fiber optic cable across the sea is extremely difficult, it must take several years, or even more than ten years.

In such an advanced method as radio, there is no way to achieve, and the carrier pigeon is too unreliable, so some fast sailing ships have become the first choice, this fast transport ship, is just a little attempt in this regard, in fact, the real communication ship, is something else.
