Jia Chongwen divided the 20 people into two groups and learned the art of fishing from the Inuit. Since the ice on the surface of the river is two or three meters thick, it is not easy to carve a hole in such a thick ice.

The Inuit had no iron tools, and with their experience, it took at least three hours to dig a hole with sticks and stones.

"It's not going to work like this, it's too slow." Jia Chongwen fell into deep thought after watching the Inuit chisel a standard hole.

"Fifth uncle, we have iron drills and hammers on the construction site, and using sticks and stones like them is too inefficient, so it is better to send someone back to get tools to do it." One of Jia Chongwen's nephews proposed to him.

Jia Chongwen said: "Now go back and get the tools, a round trip time will be used, why don't we see how people fish, and we can do it ourselves tomorrow." ”

Everyone agreed with him, and they set their minds to observe how the Inuit fished.

Fishing with nets is just one of the ways they catch fish, and their basic fishing method starts in the early winter of each year.

The Inuit carved holes in the ice before it thickened and lowered their nets. The method of putting the net is to tie one end of a long line to a wooden stick, put the wooden stick into the water, so that the line stretches to another hole, and so on repeatedly, the line can be extended to the required range, and finally the net is tied to the line, and the person is released in the water, and the two ends of the line that are tied to the net are fixed on the ice.

After the net is dropped, every day or two, the ice around the line is chiseled, the net is pulled out, and the condition of the net is checked, and if you are lucky, the net can catch seven or eight fresh fish.

Sometimes they also use harpoons to stick in their fish, and their harpoons are three-pointed harpoons made from tree branches.

After the Jia family learned fishing techniques from the Inuit, they used advanced iron tools to dig ice caves, and at the same time sent people into the city to apply for fishing nets and other fishing tools from the city hall, making fishing a major side job for them.

As the Jia family tasted the sweetness of fishing, in the following years, the family gradually subdivided the industry, Jia Zhengmao and his family specialized in fishery production, and their land was leased to the other two families.

Jia Zhengmao's son, Jia Chongwen, took the family's fishing industry to the extreme, and Jia Chongwen took the lead in establishing the first fishing company in Western State (later Alaska), and his fishing company developed into a large intercontinental company ten years later.

Of course, the development of the fishing company is inseparable from the support of Gao Junshan, although there is a lot of land to cultivate in Xizhou, due to the influence of the climate, the agricultural products suitable for planting are very limited, and only the development of fishing and animal husbandry is the most promising here, Gao Junshan quickly realized this.

After the West Coast Army of America established a foothold in Xinxiang, it advanced the construction army to the middle of the Cascoquim River, and built a new city in the later Bessel, which was named Xijing, which was naturally the capital of Xizhou.

In January 1659, Huaxia handed over all ten Wuchang-class steam engine battleships to the British Navy in accordance with the contract signed with the British.

At this time, the king of England was Cromwell II, who had just succeeded to the throne, and this Cromwell II was ousted from power in less than half a year after being king in history, Gao Junshan had to intervene in the British political situation for the benefit of China, and he did not want to participate in European affairs, because of the inaction of Cromwell II, the Chinese country had to take a plan to protect Cromwell II.

First of all, the Huaxia Kingdom increased its military aid to Britain, especially to the navy, and economically, provided Britain with a low-interest loan of 500 million Huaxia dollars, with the aim of ensuring that Cromwell II could smoothly ride through the crisis and change the history of Britain after that.

Because Cromwell II did not fall, so that the history of England was completely changed after that, and the subsequent English kings - Cromwell III, IV, and V...... have always been under the protection of the Chinese state, and Britain has become the agent of China in Europe.

Just when Huaxia Kingdom handed over all the steam engine battleships to the British Navy, Gao Junshan received a telegram from the Academy of Science and Technology that the internal combustion engine had been successfully developed.

After Gao Junshan received this good news, he immediately issued four orders.

The first was to Lu Heju, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, who ordered him to immediately establish the Huaxia Automobile Industry Corporation to organize the design and production of research and development automobiles;

The second order was given to the Minister of Military Industry Sun Yuanhua, who was ordered to immediately organize the research and development of tracked armored vehicles;

The third order was addressed to the Admiralty, which ordered it to immediately stop the production of steam-engine battleships and switch to the production of internal combustion engine battleships.

Since then, the Huaxia Navy has become a modern navy in the true sense.

The new type of battleship completely abandoned the design concept of the steam engine battleship, and the battleship did not have a front building or a rear building, nor a towering large chimney, and the gunwales were eliminated. The speed of the new warship is more than 10 knots faster than that of the steam engine battleship, and the maximum speed can reach 35 knots.

The new warships put into construction at the shipyard are divided into: cruisers, destroyers, speedboats, battleships, gunboats, and torpedo ships have also entered the research and development.

The bottleneck of the internal combustion engine was broken, and Huaxia's oil was to be used in large quantities, and the navy's various warships were expected to be ready for combat in three years (1662).

Gao Junshan's fourth order was sent to Cao Wenzhao, ordering the oil city to enter the front stage of full exploitation, and to build an oil reserve to the greatest extent possible.

Cao Wenzhao did not dare to slack off when he received Gao Junshan's telegram, and immediately held another meeting in the oil city (Riyadh) on the full exploitation of oil.

The mayor of the oil city is Qi Zhiguo, and after the meeting, Qi Zhiguo convened a meeting of relevant departments in the city hall.

Tang Xingjian, assistant to the mayor, has also been very busy these days, holding meetings, arranging receptions, arranging accommodations, and arranging banquets every day.

That evening, the meeting at the town hall was over, and he got into a carriage and returned to his home.

The family had all moved to the city a year ago, and his four children had moved from the school in the capital to the school in the city.

His wife used to be a worker in a textile factory in the capital, but now she has come to the oil city and changed her career to become an oil woman.

"Why did you come back so late today?"

Tang Xingjian just got off the carriage with a tired face, and was interrogated by his wife, he was not good in front of the coachman, he didn't pay attention to his wife, waved his hand to the coachman and said, "You go back first, you can pick me up half an hour later tomorrow." ”

The coachman got the order and smiled at Tang Xingjian's wife: "Sister-in-law, I'll leave first!" ”
