The time for the rise of the Dinghai Navy is too short, so short that it is only a few years, from the Northern Song Dynasty to spend a huge amount of effort, and even a huge price, to obtain the current population, more than 70 million, with natural population growth, it may soon approach 100 million, but this 100 million population is not healthy.

In the past five years, there have been more than 10 million people, that is, infants and young children account for the vast majority, and this pattern will continue to be held for a long time to come, because the population has continued to expand, especially two years ago, the population has increased by 35 million at once.

The huge population brings stable jobs, and when family and friends have arrived, and they have received a stable salary, it is relatively stable.

For the Chinese tradition, after food and clothing, even after being well-off, it is crazy to create children, anyway, for women, as long as they take care of the family, naturally there are men who used to earn money, under this premise, having children, having more children is an inevitable thing.

Not to mention, the current Dingjun, for having more children, there are rewards, this reward is still a lot, some women have calculated, if a year, or a year more than one child, simply the reward is a lot, not necessarily much worse than work.

In itself, having a child is their own business, not only do not need to spend more money, but also can be rewarded for this is an indescribable stimulation for Chinese who are accustomed to large families, as long as there is no physical problem, giving birth to a child is almost the same as eating and sleeping, becoming a commonplace.

This is also the root cause of the population explosion of the Dinghai Navy, but these populations are not usable populations, even those who were born from the time when the Dinghai Navy was just established, the oldest is only eight or nine years old, these people have just entered the school, and they can't come in handy at all.

However, as time goes on, this part of the newly born population grows up, and it is different.

In the past, all the studies of the Navy were complementary, and a group of talents who could be used were cultivated in the least amount of time, and night school and training became the key.

To a certain extent, this can reduce the pressure on the talents of the Dinghai Navy, so that the Dinghai Navy has concentrated a large number of talents that can be used in a short period of time, but it is a pity that these talents, they have such and such shortcomings, can become successful engineers and scholars, but those who can really stand in the perspective of Niu Dali are rare.

Those who not only need talent, but also need chance and knowledge reserves, if Niu Dali received a systematic education from an early age, and with 10 or 20 years, to accumulate enough knowledge reserves, he can be sublimated, not only in the current iron smelting, become a big deal, in metal, and some related industries, can also do, in this way, he plays a greater role, rather than embodied in the present.

In the future, when the new generation grows up, it is very critical for the Dingjun, the stability is stronger, and it is full of active development, and even science and technology have reached a certain height.

There really is a 50 years, or even 100 years of steady development, for China, that is a rare good thing, with the current population growth rate, there may really be 500 million 100 billion people, the most important thing is that with this initial stage of development, if there is really a shortage of population and food, for China, it is no longer a problem.

With ocean-going warships, even the original Spanish galleons already had the ability to cross the oceans, not to mention the clippers that followed, they were faster, but in fact, the most terrifying thing was the ships of the Ship Research Institute.

The role of the ship not only allows human beings to change the ocean and use the ocean to a higher degree, but also can derive many new things, which will be three-dimensional for the development of the entire ocean.

Sailing ships are more about utilization, but from the perspective of ships, from the beginning of utilization, there have been gradual changes, so when human beings face the ocean, they are more calm, and to a certain extent, they do not have to be affected by the weather.

After the completion of the manufacture of the steam engine, large-scale popularization and production, the steam engine cannot be said to be very advanced, but it is equivalent to the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century.

In the science and technology of the end of the 19th century, more than 10,000 tons of warships and more than 30,000 tons of ships were actually built, and those were real ocean-going cargo ships.

The emergence of clippers, under certain circumstances, has solved the problem of transportation and the problem of rapid transportation, but the ship still needs to be developed, or vigorously developed.

Even if the clipper ship has advanced to a considerable extent, it is only a sail fleet, he depends on the weather, once there is bad weather, or not very cooperative weather, it will not be smooth, but the ship can sail smoothly most of the time.

Dingjun in the steelmaking technology, because of the emergence of Niu Dali, has entered a considerable extent, and even for surface passivation, as well as coating and degaussing, there has been considerable progress, has already had the basis of the production of ships.

However, the scientific and technological strength contained in the ship is quite high, even if the various sub-projects and the Dinghai Navy have reached or even overfulfilled the task, but in terms of integration, it is still not possible.

At present, the progress is only to install iron ribs on wooden ships, and install one or two steam engines as auxiliary power, with sails, and it will take some time for a real all-steel steamer.

From the very beginning to the present, there have been almost seven or eight years, and in the seven or eight years, a series of systems have been formed, from technical education to university education, and even the first and second batches of college students have passed through research institutes and various technical colleges to enter the system.

It's just that there are too many scientific research systems to be developed in China, and among these many scientific research systems, there are also two or three people who are comparable to Niu Dali, but there are not more, at least, in ships, not in terms of ships.

Under Zhao Xin's attention, the development speed of the Dinghai Navy has been fast enough, and the system that has been formed in all aspects of science and technology has made the basic scientific research level of the Dinghai Navy reach and exceed the level of the end of the 19th century.

It's just that the development of the steamship still needs a little time, and he has involved too many things, in the laboratory, the all-steel battleship can float up, and even use steam as power to push forward, but it will take time to form a real, high-speed, and efficient ship.

Not now, not necessarily not in the future, in the years since the establishment of the Dinghai Navy, the development of science and technology has always been beyond the conventional speed of development, this speed is shocking, almost every 1 year there will be a huge difference, 3 years a small change, 5 years a big change.

Five years ago, the Dinghai Navy was only refitting Chinese-style sailing ships, and had just begun to build ships on a large scale in the Dinghai Navy, but five years later, the Dinghai Navy's flying clippers could already sail near the American continent at a speed of about 20 knots.

There may not be such a development in all walks of life, but in the future, there will really be 50 years, no, it should be said that it will be about 10 years, not only the ship will gradually mature, but others can also, and even the appearance of aircraft may not be impossible.

In that case, the rapid development of transportation will make the size of the earth smaller, and when the time comes, it will be better if the navy expands.

In fact, at present, the expansion on the land, after the appearance of the steam train, has been solved for the most part, if it can be on the land controlled by the Dinghai Navy, through the railway, then from the Eurasian continent, to any place, at most in Siberia and Central Asia to restrict, where desertification, as well as the northern ice sheet, is the forbidden area of life, to cross, it is not easy, even for the Dinghai Navy's level of science and technology, this is the same.

On the premise that there is still a direction of development, and there is still a direction of expansion, it is not the best choice to go to these forbidden areas of life.

For China, as long as the development is rapid, expansion is necessary, but also not necessary, the whole world, can be with China's location, the land occupied must be beautiful, it is really not too much, the navy at present, there is no external threat, first develop well, after eating this piece of China, in the consideration of other things.

Of course, Southeast Asia must be played, in the future, after obtaining rubber from the Americas, Southeast Asia is the best planting place, in the future, Southeast Asia's rubber, in the whole world's output, also occupies a considerable share, such a natural plantation, how not to use it.

Those natives of Southeast Asia, let them grow food, do coolies, I'm afraid it's a little too difficult for them, but planting rubber, which itself has already gone through, has also proved to be good, of course, it is a perfect match, so under the premise, in accordance with the various policies of the previous life, is the most correct choice.

The war in Southeast Asia has begun, the goal has shifted, at this time, there is no need to remove the news of the discovery of the Americas, it doesn't matter anymore, really wait until the Americas are discovered, get three crops, and then come back to plant and show results, at least half a year, more than a year, or wait until the role of the real America is revealed. ，

But you can't make a big splash, there must be rewards in advance, all the rewards that the navy has promised to come down, all of them will be issued in full, and Zhao Xin has taken out the reward, this reward is for the three major crops, and the amount of this reward is also very high, and this order is not promulgated by Zhao Xin now, but before, it has been arranged.

The reason for this is to ensure efficiency, if it is after the discovery of the Americas, it will take at least 40 days to transmit the news from the Americas to the Dinghai Navy, and then from the Dinghai Navy to the Americas, it will take another 40 days, and if there is a slight delay in the middle, it will be three or four months have passed, which is simply unbearable for the Dingnavy, which has always paid attention to efficiency.

At the same time, in the process of exploration, in this team with the brigade as a unit, there are people who know that there are not only pictures, but even some detailed descriptions to look for the three major crops.

There will be no one in the Northern Song Dynasty, and there will be no one who will know the basic appearance of this plant, and the source of these pictures can only be Zhao Xin.

Zhao Xin was born in a farmer's family, grew up in the mountains, and was admitted to Peking University, he is quite clear about all kinds of farm work, corn, sweet potatoes, potatoes, these three kinds of most common plants in the mountains, not only the overall shape is very clear, even the appearance of each plant, is also very clear.

Draw a relatively accurate graphics, although it is said that Zhao Xin is not a student of art, and does not have some art skills, but through the promotion of the card system, his physical fitness is far beyond ordinary people, not only the strength and endurance are greater, but even the control ability is far above the ordinary.

In this way, he drew at least 10 sets of patterns, which were placed in the hands of the 10 botanical experts of the exploration fleet, and with the intensification of the development of the American continent, of course, these botanical experts will also go to the American continent one after another.

If he wanted to, he would even draw rubber, tobacco leaves, and some plants that are special to the Americas, but unfortunately, the place where he is located is not tropical, and he has never seen rubber trees at all, and some other American cash crops, he may have heard the name, or he may not have even heard the name, in this case, there is no way to draw those things.

In ordinary life, I have seen rubber, which is a bit troublesome, and I can only look for it slowly, but rubber also has characteristics, his branches are relatively hypertrophied, and once cut, it will secrete white juice, which is also easier to identify, and tobacco leaves are not good.

It's not that there's no way to find these things, it's just that it's not so convenient to look for them according to the map.

However, the habit of smoking among the Indians has been around for a long time, and as long as you contact the Indians, you should be able to distinguish these things.

Although Zhao Xin does not want to start the tobacco project, this is a huge Shanghai for the people's body, 2 but he can't let go of this, huge benefits, prepare in advance, do some training and research, in the future, if you really need to open up, or be done by others, then you also need to do it, such a money-making weapon, it is impossible to be in the hands of others.

In addition to tobacco leaves, other things, Zhao Xin didn't think much of it, fortunately, even the American continent has been discovered, the crops of the Americas, this era, have not yet recognized its role, it is only a matter of time to find it, their priority is under the three major crops in the Americas, don't be too anxious, find the icing on the cake, can't find it, it doesn't matter.
