With the approval of the person in charge of the base, the entire base began to move, a fleet of more than a hundred ships began to act, a large number of materials were loaded on the ship, and countless personnel began to board the ship in a steady stream.

The whole base was once again busy when it was first developed, and countless supplies were pulled out of the warehouse, and then transported to the Spanish sailing ships through various machines, and the personnel were gathered, especially the heavily armed army.

This is a real army, the establishment of a field army, and at the same time, all kinds of weapons are readily available.

The army stationed on this base has the establishment of a regiment, according to the establishment of the navy, a standard regiment, about 1,200 people, but they have a lot of equipment, and if they have to prepare all their light and heavy weapons, it is not something that one or two ships can pull down.

The emergency bell rang, and in the camp, either resting or training, the soldiers reacted quickly, this was the final bell of the pole assembly, they needed to abandon all actions, pack weapons and supplies, and then concentrate on the playground.

Even if the Dinghai Navy has not been established for a long time, from the very beginning, the Dinghai Navy has been strictly administering the army, the requirements in all aspects are very strict, the training is also quite attentive, and the reaction speed is very fast.

1,200 people, lined up in a neat phalanx, standing on the grass, even if there was no action, the feeling of slaughter still shocked everyone.

After a brief order, they began to prepare their own weapons, which in addition to their own guns, a large number of heavy weapons, artillery and machine guns combined, possibly to fill at least seven Spanish galleons.

Such a heavily armed field regiment, even if it encounters resistance, one regiment may not be able to destroy the opponent, at the very least, it is not a problem to maintain the security of the camp.

Zhao Xin's support for navigation is unsparing, not only all kinds of personnel, equipment, are the best, even if it is an armed force, it is also carefully selected, not only elite, but also equipped with the most powerful weapons of the entire Ding Navy.

The machine gun, which has appeared in the Dinghai Navy from the time the theory was put forward to the final perfection, is not the most classic Makqin, but the Gatling type.

Makqin is the most classic infantry machine gun, water-cooled, stable rate of fire, high reliability, and relatively fast rate of fire, Gatling on the one hand, too heavy, the more barrels, the heavier, the heat dissipation is not good, whether it is space-time cooling, or water-cooled, it is not easy to solve, at the same time, the reliability is not high, and the accuracy is poor.

Of course, in the 21st century, with the use of airplanes and helicopters, Gatling has been reborn, but this kind of rebirth, on the premise of increasing the rate of fire, with the help of this gas and electric, has reached an extremely astonishing level of fire, far exceeding the purchase of Maxim, in terms of projection victory per unit of time, as well as attack penetration, are more superior than Maxim.

After Makqin gained the upper hand in the competition with Gatling, he began to dominate in the infantry weapons, and on the basis of the infantry machine gun, basically, it continued the shape of Makqin, because of his unique performance and reliability, it became the largest fire suppression weapon of the infantry, and at the time of World War I, it reached its peak, and the equipment of Makqin became the most intuitive embodiment of the army's combat effectiveness, which was shown in World War I, and developed to the peak in World War II.

Zhao Xin is not a military expert, let alone mechanical things, he can draw the appearance of Makqin, this classic heavy machine gun, in many film and television dramas, has appeared, but the internal structure, I don't know at all, after studying for a long time, not only did not gain, but it was like entering a dead end.

After Zhao Xin found out the problem, he also wanted to affect it, but after asking about the problems that occurred, he was also blind, and there was no way to solve it, and he didn't know the principle of this at all, and what machinery and control system were used.

This is equivalent to creating a system out of thin air, even if it is an inventor, it is also through years of research, plus some experience on the shoulders of predecessors, step by step improvement and improvement, this evolution process may take decades, or even hundreds of years.

Although it is said that the Dinghai Navy has all-thermal weapons, or even modern or higher weapon systems, the research of this weapon system is a little difficult, and it is difficult to lay a solid foundation without a dozen or twenty years, and then it will be difficult to develop.

Makqin is one of them, and simply Zhao Xin drawing a picture is not enough to explain Makqin's theory, and the research is even more clueless.

Zhao Xin couldn't give too many opinions, he could only brainstorm, and at this time, a casual remark from an inconspicuous researcher inspired him.

If you want to project the density and gather a bunch of robbers, it's okay, this reminder not only said a simpler way to achieve it, but also made Zhao Xin think of another weapon that has been fighting with Makqin for a long time, the Gatling gun.

In the beginning, it was just an increase in the number of barrels, just a clever way to put the barrels together and excite them according to certain rules, to put it bluntly, a bunch of guns together, and then look for a means to activate them together.

Of course, there are no tricks in it, for example, how to send out the rules, how not to affect each other, and even when the rate of fire will reach the extreme, these are just stubble things, as long as you figure out the whole design, on the basis of the design, you can continue to improve.

As long as you keep trying, experiments, so that the difficulty of development becomes less and less, and in the end, it is successfully developed.

From the original, 4 barrels, all the way to the current 16 tubes, and fixed to the extent of 22 tubes, the rate of fire, the limit can be 300 rounds per minute, which is already quite a fast speed, compared to many early machine guns, has been much stronger.

You must know that at present, the rate of fire of the rifle is about 10 rounds per minute, and 16 barrels are equivalent to 160 rounds and 300 rounds, which is almost twice as much.

The power has been increased, and under the rolling machine gun composed of 16 tubes, if it is fully opened, a torrent of metal will be formed, and anything will be torn apart in the face of this torrent of metal.

According to the prescribed arrangement, a regiment will arrange about 80 heavy machine guns, and in a relatively narrow place, if 6 machine guns are arranged crosswise, tens of thousands of people will come without artillery, and as long as the ammunition is sufficient, they will not want to break through this defensive line.

Starting from the metal fixed ammunition, the gunpowder weapon began to open up the distance with the big cold weapon, not only the range is getting higher and higher, the rate of fire is getting faster and faster, and the reliability is also constantly growing, the weakness of the early rain war has long ceased to exist, and after modern times, even the modern military transformation of the Dinghai Navy, in terms of combat effectiveness, there has been a huge and incomparable improvement, which is also the key power.

The production of machine guns is to make the problem of geographical location and geographical advantages, to the extreme, before the machine gun, 2-3 people block a regiment, or even more enemies, this is almost a fantasy, there are fewer to win more, but not so to win more with less.

But with machine guns, coupled with the combination of geographical advantages, under the premise of enough bullets, a regiment, or even more, is also a normal thing.

The regiment, in addition to a large number of machine guns, was also armed with artillery.

In addition to machine guns, the army carries the most powerful, or artillery, artillery is the natural enemy of machine guns, before two or three people blocked a regiment, that is under the premise of not carrying artillery, once the artillery is carried, the difficulty is greatly increased, modern warfare, especially after the machine gun, machine gun group, has become the focus of artillery care.

On the battlefield, especially where the dogs and teeth of the two sides are intertwined, there is a machine gun fire point, which is very lethal for the follow-up infantry, and ordinary infantry, to deal with this fire point, not only needs to pay huge sacrifices, but also needs to use a little luck, in the middle, it is necessary to use artillery to kill the fire point.

The artillery of the Dinghai Navy has gone through many generations of development, from the original, the simplest artillery, after the efforts of smelting experts, a large number of new metals and alloys have been studied, and in addition, the progress of artillery research, some light artillery specially supplied to the infantry, began to appear.

The weight of the artillery has also been gradually reduced from half a ton, and some light artillery can even reach less than 200 kg, although it is still quite heavy, but it is in an acceptable range, and at the same time, in order to facilitate the infantry to carry, it can also be quickly broken down into different parts, the heaviest barrel is only more than 60 kg, and it can also be divided into two sections, generally speaking, a group of 12 people can easily carry these guns.

Artillery is an important invention, Napoleon said, the truth, is in the range of artillery, the modern army, the reason why the scale of the before, the application of artillery, played a vital role, without artillery, to the army can not be demonstrated.

The concentration of the army seems to be extraordinary, on the island, but it does not have much effect, the reason is simple, the whole base is in motion, more than 40 Spanish galleons, and all the clippers that can bring back, they need to form a huge fleet, with a total of more than 100 ships.

While mobilizing a large number of fleets, at least 10 ships were also dispatched to report the news.

In the entire exploration process of North America, there is a ring after a ring, the base is just the entire exploration fleet, the most basic exploration base, and there is a series of bases behind, and the discovery of such a huge island must be notified to the rear, so it is best to convey it from here.

Different from the previous reports of the pilot fleet, from the base to the back, the sea area of more than 3,000 kilometers is basically determined to be explored by the navy clearly, even if any ship will not go wrong, a ship can do.

But 10 ships were dispatched at once, safety is one aspect, in these familiar waterways, it is not without problems, sometimes, there will be wind and waves, or, simply the ship is broken, or an accident or something, a ship, is not so insurance.

Sending information to the rear base is only one aspect of sending a large number of ships, and the other is to report to all parties that the development of a base, or an island, requires a series of support, not only in terms of personnel, but also in terms of materials.

Without enough material support, let alone such a large range of expeditions and the discovery of so many islands, it would have been stopped long ago due to the huge pressure.

Sea exploration, that's it, the deeper you go into the depths of the sea, the more difficult it is to supply logistics, and sometimes, to deliver a bag of food, you need to pay several times the consumption, and even human losses, these weaker countries simply can't support it, and they can't guarantee absolute security.

Sailing is never a simple matter, in addition to the need to have a strong enough ship to help cross the ocean, the need for brave people who can fight against natural storms, in fact, there is another one, that is, logistical support.

In the whole voyage, this is not only a game for adventurers, but also a feast for navigators, and at the same time, it is also a display of national strength.

Zheng He's voyage to the West and the discovery of the Great Voyage in Europe were carried out almost at the same time, but they had to come to an end, and the wrong method was one aspect, but it was a huge expense, and it was also an important speed of sound.

The Age of Discovery in Europe was driven by some powerful forces, including a Portuguese prince who almost funded a large number of navigators, and those early navigators, without the support of this prince, might have died young, and the voyages did not have a large enough discovery.

No matter how powerful this prince is, he can't compare with a country, especially the Dinghai under the control of Zhao Xin, after the initial construction, has a terrible production capacity, when the entire Dinghai Navy turns part of its perspective and energy from domestic development to navigation, the country's will begins to manifest.

In the entire Pacific Ocean, there are more than 10,000 ships, of which there are more than 6,000 Spanish galleons, and the rest are all kinds of clippers.

Not to mention the tonnage of only a few hundred tons of clippers, the tonnage of Spanish galleons, at least more than 2,000 tons, the cargo capacity is several times the total displacement, these are the transport ships on the entire ocean, they put countless materials, supplies, and other things, from the rear of the Dinghai Navy, all the way to the front line, and with the support of huge materials, built a huge supply chain, it is this supply chain, so that the exploration that has extended more than 3,000 kilometers can continue.
