When the behemoth of the Northern Song Dynasty started to use the power in one direction, the effect was huge, and a war against the Liao State was already being prepared, but the Liao State did not know it at this time.

When the Northern Song Dynasty concentrated all its efforts to prepare for a big battle, Zhao Xin was also on the way back to the Dinghai Navy, and after applying, a personal guard team of at least 500 people surrounded Zhao Xin and left quickly.

In the Northern Song Dynasty, the most comfortable way to trek for thousands of miles is to take a boat, especially a large boat of more than 800 stones, such a boat, on the river, is relatively comfortable.

Perhaps, in the busy period, such a boat, it is more difficult to sail, after all, the entire Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, as the lifeline of the Northern Song Dynasty, such a large fleet, on this busy river, will almost inevitably be affected.

In this era, there is no such thing as traffic control, as long as the road is blocked, it can only be coordinated slowly, and when there are many boats, this fleet cannot be carried out quickly, but at this time, it is winter, and the Bianhe River has not even been opened, but with the help of icebreakers, the channel has been cleared.

The same is true in the south, the main body of the entire Northern Song Dynasty is in the north, there is less shipping in the north, and there are no bulk commodities in the south.

According to the plan, Zhao Xin himself should spend some more time on the railway from Bianliang to Yingtian, the longest three-hole railway, which can be regarded as creating the history of the entire Northern Song Dynasty, both in terms of scale and speed of construction.

Such a large-scale bridge construction is very rare even in modern times, and it is worth Zhao Xin to delay the trip for this, Zhao Xin is here, not just watching, just planning and coordinating, maybe cultivating a group of talents, but who has Zhao Xin to understand.

From the explosion of knowledge, coupled with the coordination and arrangement of the entire Dinghai Navy, in the beginning, the coordination of the industrial system, and even the production and municipal systems, was almost all carried out under the promotion of Zhao Xin, and he can be said to know all about these.

During the first day, Zhao Xin just watched silently, coordinating in his heart to see if he could find a more efficient way, but from the second day, he began the process of coordination.

Coordination and parallelism, these are very important for the industrial system, the larger the project, the better the effect, but it is a simple work, can not save much.

For example, simple tasks such as boiling water, sweeping the floor, and cleaning glass can be embedded in each other, but just simple embedding can save not much time, but for huge projects, thousands, tens of thousands of sub-projects, this efficiency is improved.

Perhaps, those who were taught by Zhao Xin, they have surpassed Zhao Xin in terms of professionalism and basic calculations, but in terms of the overall situation and the overall situation, they are not Zhao Xin's opponents at all.

In fact, Zhao Xin has very little adjustment for a small range, but the important thing is the order, some seemingly normal order, after Zhao Xin's adjustment, has produced a magical effect, 10 times of adjustment, so that the construction period has been advanced by 17 days, this is not a simple 17 days, this is to compress the construction period to less than two months, and once again reduced, it can be said that the reduced time will be reduced to the extent of days and even hours.

Because this bridge is a key node in the whole project, the completion time of the bridge is directly related to the completion time of the entire bridge, every time you save 1 day, it is possible to make the final completion time, infinitely close to one day, and one after another saving, this experimental project is likely to be completed 20 days ahead of schedule.

If possible, Zhao Xin really wants to continue to stay here, and then, the overall coordination may continue to improve, if the construction period of this bridge can be reduced to 30 days, then the entire project can be almost saved to 25 days, or even 30 days.

On the 10th day of arriving there, a news came, and Zhao Xin had to set off, not even taking a slow boat and coming back slowly, but hurrying up.

This news is a news that has been expected for a long time, but it has not come for a long time, just when Zhao Xin already felt that this time would be postponed by two or three months, and even the completion of the Southeast Railway may not be able to be launched.

Southeast Railway, this is the name of the heart of the Yingtian to Bianliang Railway, because Bianliang has the title of Tokyo, and Yingtian, and the title of Nanjing, so it is called the Southeast Railway, which is still named under the leadership of Han Qi.

After a brief look at the entire construction, Han Qi believes that the railway will be completed in time, and it is a good choice to give him a name at this time.

However, compared with the Southeast Railway, this news is more important, because this news is an important direction related to the next stage of the development of the Navy.

Railways are very important, if the Northern Song Dynasty is all over the railway, you can have convenient transportation, some in the Northern Song Dynasty, idle, or even wasted resources, into value, which is a very strong support for the entire business.

But what can surpass it, it is only the strategic task of the entire Dinghai Navy, that's right, has always been Zhao Xin's attention, and invested considerable energy and support in the shipbuilding industry, there is good news, the first experimental sea ship, has completed all the construction work, successfully launched, is in the Dinghai Navy, for intense testing.

Shipbuilding, this seemingly inconspicuous project, but it is the lifeline of the Dinghai Navy, from the beginning of entering the Dinghai Navy, Zhao Xin has actually lost the tentacles to the mainland, of course, this is also the result of his unwillingness to consume the power of the Northern Song Dynasty.

For the sake of development, relying solely on the Dinghai Navy will definitely not work, and it will almost inevitably go to the ocean.

Zhao Xin attaches great importance to the ocean, it can be seen from the investment in the shipyard that since the establishment of the Dinghai Navy, he began to go crazy and spare no effort to recruit shipwrights from all over the country, and even, because he could not dig enough personnel, he reached out to the official shipyard and recruited them on a large scale.

Zhao Xin's identity can do this, this is also the establishment of the Dinghai Navy, and even from birth to the present, the craziest thing is like this.

That is, the Northern Song Dynasty did not attach importance to the sea, which gave Zhao Xin a chance, this matter did not cause a huge response, especially some surface patrol troops, leaving some maintenance forces, and the Dinghai guaranteed that the future replacement of ships can also be purchased from the Dinghai at a low price, and the entire Northern Song Dynasty Navy opened the door to Zhao Xin.

However, it has to be said that in this era, the top shipwrights are still in civilian shipyards, these people are either the chief shipwrights of large shipyards, or, simply the owner, in the Northern Song Dynasty when almost the entire world's shipbuilding industry was overviewed, it was almost impossible to let them join the Dinghai Navy.

A Niu Dali, in Dingjun, got a bonus of more than 500 yuan at once, and even a cumulative bonus of more than 2,000 yuan, which is already like a dream, but let the owner of a shipyard with an annual profit of 30,000 yuan, or even 100,000 yuan, put aside hundreds of millions of family fortunes and run to Dinghai, even if he fights for 1,000 yuan a month, he will not do it.

Perhaps, in terms of making money, there will be no less here than when you are at home, but a simple sense of honor and leadership, this can't be helped, the family has the final say, but here, you have to obey others.

Steel is the cornerstone, and shipyards, although very critical, cannot be as strong as Niu Dali.

Zhao Xin always believed that a genius researcher like Niu Dali was hard to find, and without him, even with the help of the card system, steel would not have been established so quickly.

The fleet is more important, but a shipwright who can only be regarded as a qualified shipwright will have to pay the price of bull strength, which is not cost-effective, and the most important thing is the stubbornness of authority.

Zhao Xin wants to be obedient, to experiment and try step by step according to his requirements, not to be stubborn.

The shipbuilding industry of the Northern Song Dynasty is the best in the world, and the entire East Asia, and even more distant South Asia and the Arab region have purchased a large number of sea ships from China, but this achievement, in the view of Zhao Xin, who has exploded in science and technology, is not enough to sustain at all.

These two, one created the terrible Spanish Armada, for Spain at that time, created a large number of feats, and the latter, is the foundation of the rise of Britain, from this Galen ship, Britain defeated the Spanish Armada, regained the hegemony of the seas.

Knowing the advanced technology, but being opposed by the stubborn old qualifications, this is not something that Zhao Xin wants to see, so, a little inferior, it is also acceptable, as long as it can build any level of ship, as long as it is not the smallest sailing board, as long as it is on the canal, or at sea, it can be a ship that can transport goods.

These, in the entire Northern Song Dynasty military system, there are still a lot, after a series of operations, starting from the first good shipwright, a total of 200 shipwrights were recruited.

These shipwrights, instead of being gathered together, were divided into at least 20 docks and built them individually, and they came in different order, so the time when the docks were built was also different.

In the eyes of many people, this is a repetitive construction, you know, a dock, is a ship research institute, they start to build an experimental ship, they have to invest a huge amount of money, 20 at once, a lot of repetitive work.

However, in Zhao Xin's view, this is not a problem at all, because the entire shipbuilding plan is carried out under Zhao Xin's manipulation, even if it seems to be a repetitive construction, on the one hand, it is to integrate all the forces, and some apprentices and craftsmen from non-professional backgrounds are fused together, and on the other hand, experimental ships, their focus is different, and each will verify one aspect of the ship.

Chinese craftsmen are relatively old-fashioned, and they believe more in seeing is believing than in theory.

Craftsmen in ancient China, the status is low, many things, are taught by hand, word of mouth, only some outstanding talent, will be in the years of work, summed up something, innovation.

This kind of innovation is still easy to pass on, because they are only summed up in long-term experience, as long as a little bit of a hand, it is possible to completely lose these things.

The modern shipbuilding industry is different, according to the theory, and even the knowledge of the book, and finally has the ability to design independently, so that it can be passed on, can be sustainably developed, as long as it is on the original basis, it can continue to develop, without having to repeat the research.

The shipbuilding industry plays an important role in the Dinghai Navy, it is obvious that with the development of the Dinghai Navy, the land of the Dinghai Navy has become more and more unable to withstand the industry of the Dinghai Navy, and navigation must go ahead, so as to be able to support large-scale immigration.

Don't look at the distance between Taiwan and the mainland, only more than 100 kilometers away, but this distance, for sea ships, is very insurmountable, industrialization, for transportation requirements are very high, unless it is a closed country for self-development, there is no good shipping, supporting immigration and commodity export, even if Taiwan is taken, it is just a decoration.

Zhao Xin was very anxious, but he also knew that there were some things that could not be rushed, and he still understood the truth that he could not reach it quickly.

For these reasons, Zhao Xin has invested enough support in the shipyard, whether it is personnel, or funds, but in terms of speed, he just wants to make all the places as solid as possible, not urging.

Unlike other projects, industrial projects, a slight deviation, or even after an accident, that is, a certain amount of loss, but navigation, there is no false head, any slightest mistake, will affect the future, the safety of navigation.

For the Northern Song Dynasty, the lack of nautical talents, any talent is very valuable, once there is a large-scale mistake on the ship, the waste is very huge.

Zhao Xin does not want to spend hundreds of years and countless lives to improve these, and now, he has more advanced knowledge, and also knows some basic theories of navigation, of course, he is willing to absorb some advantages of Eastern and Western navigation, and jointly promote the research and development of a ship type suitable for navigation.

Even so, the construction of experimental ships is still a little difficult to deliver, on the one hand, the strength of these shipwrights is a little lower, and few have experience in supervising the production of large ships, on the other hand, there are many things that have been changed, and some things are beyond this era, which need to be explored slowly.

Fortunately, there is a key technical foundation, this is obviously a bit wasteful, and not suitable for the development of the ship's experiment, or smoothly carried out, this technology, in fact, is also all the spread of construction, must be unified technology, with steel keel to replace the original wooden keel, has become the basis of all ships.
