The No. 1 island in the middle of the country, only 8 months, has completely changed its appearance, 3 ports, almost all-weather operation, from time to time there are ships in and out.

In just a few months, at the terrible pace of production of the navy, a huge number of clippers were produced, and these clippers, after almost a little training, arrived at the Central No. 1, under the command of Zhuang Ji, to carry out reconnaissance.

Similarly, 2,000 Spanish sailing boats and nearly 6,000 fishing boats of all kinds are also nearby, and it can be said unceremoniously that there are at least more than 10,000 boats of all kinds concentrated on the surrounding islands.

Therefore, on such an island of three or four hundred square kilometers, there are almost 200,000 people concentrated at once, of which about 150,000 are sailors and fishermen, who are responsible for controlling these boats, and 50,000 people are workers.

After intensive construction and early arrangement, at least 200 factories were built here.

50,000 people, to take care of ports, cities, and other aspects, the real industrial population, only less than 20,000, among them, there are even some housewives who come with them, real workers, on record, only 12,000 people.

That is to say, the average number of people in each factory is less than 60, which can be said to have streamlined the personnel to the extreme, but correspondingly, the production efficiency is extremely high, not to mention more than ten or twenty times that of the Shenyang factory, and the average is 4 times.

This is the benefit of machinery, not only the steam engine, but also electricity, and even the fuel engine and the like, some of which are just barely reaching the level of the first industrial revolution, but some of them are simply the second or even the third industrial revolution.

If it's just Zhao Xin who crosses alone, it is already very good to be able to reach an industrial revolution, but with the card system, even if his hands have always been stinky, he has never drawn more advanced things, and he has not even obtained the top things in the 19th century, but with the card system, everything is possible.

It was only after learning the system that Zhao Xin realized that the real role of the card system was to put it on certain probabilities.

The basis of industry is efficiency, is the yield rate, why some things, from laboratory production, to industrialization, so difficult, the reason is very simple, what the laboratory can achieve, may not be able to achieve in industry, or, can be realized, but the efficiency is too low, the conversion rate is not enough, the cost is too high, and so on.

But the card system can ignore this, which can promote the leapfrog growth of certain industries, for example, the development of electronic technology in the second half of the 20th century.

Large-scale integrated circuits, even if they are counted from the electron tube, the yield rate is not high, not to mention the tube, the transistor is basically a relatively cheap material, and when it comes to ultra-large-scale integrated circuits and semiconductors, it is simply a silicon crystal, if you don't consider the purity, what is completely extracted from the sand, how high is the price.

In front of the card system, even if it is one percent, or even one in 10,000, the yield rate of one in 100 million, as long as it is produced, 100% production can be obtained through the card system, but it may not be able to meet the production due to the number of card systems.

But these are enough, in some cutting-edge industries, the card system can play a huge role, electricity, internal combustion engines, etc., the production of electricity, internal combustion engines, etc., also thanks to this, as long as there is a person, even by hand, can process a workpiece, it can ensure small-scale mass production, the production capacity of the card system, most of which are given to these things that can not be processed on a large scale.

The island is not small, there are too many factories, especially the use of a large number of steam engines, even if the navy has made some arrangements, but the density of use is too high, and the number is too large, pollution is indispensable.

The quality of the air is a little poor, the water is good to say, after all, it is an island, plus these industries, there are very few polluting chemical industries, are some logistics materials, at most, there are a little more harmful gases, in the special environment of the island, it is not easy to gather, a little bigger sea breeze, it will blow away.

In Zhuang Ji's office, the huge nautical charts have been quite dense and clear, in the process of exploration, the use of at least 3,000 clippers, like a carpet to explore here, almost the Kuril Islands, Kamchatka Peninsula have been explored, so that the blank space on the chart has been greatly reduced, all kinds of islands, traffic arteries, and even ocean currents, have been marked, to a certain extent, has achieved very great results, can make the Dinghai Navy to the road to the ocean, A big step forward.

The first stage, the second stage has achieved tremendous development, to a certain extent, it is equivalent to overcompleting the task, Zhuang Ji has also been praised by the headquarters, and can even be directly responsible for the third stage, the original three teams, after his command is moved forward, someone will take over in the follow-up.

In a few months, while achieving great results, it was not destructive, and under the premise of paying a huge price, although it was to the ocean, all the safety measures had been done to the extreme, but there were many casualties.

In the course of 8 months of exploration, in the process of exploring the entire island, a total of more than 800 shipwrecks were injured, although the whole plan was completed in 8 months, but the entire exploration fleet, the number of clippers, only more than 2,000, more than 1,000, either sunk on the bottom of the sea, or, just unable to travel.

Because of the safety problem, in the end, the ship and personnel were completely silent, only 87 ships, and the rest were only injured, or partial, small-scale, but because of this, in eight months, more than 4,000 people died at the bottom of the sea.

This is the price that must be borne when moving towards the ocean, even in the later generations, when radio and satellites are very comprehensive, and a large number of people will eventually sink to the bottom of the sea forever every year, let alone this era.

One of the most vivid examples, 4 ships encountered a storm, and finally all sank, even if there was only the nearest 20 kilometers yuan, but they did not dare to come to the rescue, because the force of the storm is too great, this is the power of nature, human beings must make sacrifices when moving towards the ocean.

For more than 30 million, and even now, the population is constantly increasing, close to 8 months, 4,000 casualties, this is acceptable, Dinghai has taken a big step forward on the road to the sea.

If we talk about the distance, they have taken a big step forward, basically halfway through, and the distance from Kamchatka to the Aleutian Peninsula is only 2,800 kilometers, but this distance is the most difficult.

In the whole area of exploration, it is divided into three parts, the easiest being the Kuril Islands and the Kamchatka Peninsula.

The former, almost not far from Hokkaido, and the islands are relatively dense, according to a certain direction, step by step, you can, as long as you think of a direction, you will definitely be able to find the distance, the worst, will also enter the Asian continent, so the margin of safety is relatively high.

But for the Aleutian Peninsula, it is not a straight line, but a circular island, which has been extended, and the most important thing is that he is really deep into the ocean, in the previous Kuril Islands, Kamchatka Peninsula, and the location of the Asian continent is not very far, as long as the latitude and longitude lines are set, and the charts that have been explored are combined with Zhao Xin's temporary sketch map, at least, it is not difficult to find the location of the land.

However, once in the Pacific Ocean, the Aleutian Islands are only an archipelago composed of three or four hundred volcanic islands, and the entire area is only more than 17,000, and if you go down on average, one island is not even 60.

This is a small island, distributed in a vast line of more than 2,000 kilometers, irregular, once there is danger, where to go, to the north, it is okay, but the Bering Strait, whether it is good, Asia and North America are here on land, it is a forbidden place on earth, not to say that you must die, but it is only to delay the process of death, to the south, it is even more impossible.

The reason why the Pacific Ocean is the Pacific Ocean is that on the one hand, it is too flat, the ocean is too big, and it is too calm, and at the same time, there are not many islands.

There are more in the north, more in the southwest, and there are no other places, the central Pacific Ocean, that is, a Hawaiian, but the distance from Hawaii, from the Aleutian Islands, I am afraid that there are not as many as four or five thousand kilometers.

It's really far away, it's very far away, it's very far away.

In 8 months, more than 4,000 people died, and after penetrating into the Pacific Ocean, the death toll will be even more.

And precisely because of the increased danger, Zhao Xin released the exploration period of the Aleutian Islands, and the area with only one-third of the voyage occupies the largest part of the entire exploration, and it can take 3 or even 5 years to walk a road to North America, which is acceptable, and there is no need to pursue fast.

Unlike the expeditions in the Kuril Islands and the Kamchatka Peninsula, the expedition here does not require a lot of ships, and will be considered relatively and strive to use as few ships as possible to cooperate with the best sailors.

In this way, the best degree can ensure that there will not be too many twists and turns in the next exploration process, which is the experience accumulated from the previous pain.

In navigation, there is no reluctance, and any reluctance will cause big problems in the long-term exploration process.

Among all the losses, the first month was the most problematic, unfamiliar seas, without the guidance of charts, everything was black holes and unfamiliar, and there were many dangers or accidents, in such a situation, strict tests, experienced sailors, can be improvised, in the face of all kinds of unexpected things, they have enough background to fight, but those who are slightly worse will not work.

There have been many cases of one person burying the whole boat because of an accidental mistake, and in the face of one bloody example after another, anything that is not qualified will be rejected.

The sea is vast, perhaps, one more ship, there will be one more chance, one step faster, but there is such a ship, as long as a few key positions are unqualified, it is a ship towards death, who dares to put their back, to such an unqualified person, that is playing with life.

On the contrary, qualified, excellent, and well-coordinated crews, they have more ways to deal with danger when they are in the face of danger, and sometimes, with a flash of inspiration, they can turn the danger into a disaster.

These, some can be trained, some can not be trained, in 8 months, Zhuang Ji also through the selection, investigation, almost formed 600 groups of sailors, the same, continue the detection process, will be more difficult, with the efficiency of 3000 ships, may not be higher than the use of elite sailors, 600 groups is enough.

600 groups, divided into 3 batches, replaced, almost 200, plus 100 spare ships, that is, 300, compared with the previous number of 3000, it is too far behind, but this is almost enough, this is already from his team, the absolute elite selected, each group is quite qualified.

In the past period of time, the Dinghai Navy has produced thousands of clipping ships, these ships, greatly support the whole exploration process, these ships will not be directional, they will continue to explore along the Kamchatka Peninsula, south and north, on the Siberian ice sheet, the vast land, even if they cannot be taken down now because of technical and other problems, they can definitely be taken down in the future, so it is a good choice to do some exploration in advance, and find some suitable places and ports.

After 8 months of living, Zhuang Ji has long been accustomed to the Central No. 1, he almost looked at this island, from a large construction site, to the current appearance, and now, it is finally time to leave.

Of the three teams in the future, he will also be in charge of the pilot group, which will be responsible for the exploration of the Aleutian Islands, and the Central One, and a port called Blu-ray on the Kamchatka Peninsula, will be handed over to the other two groups, who will continue to enrich the surrounding charts and will also be tasked with exploring various mineral veins.

Shoji will temporarily stop at Blu-ray Island to establish a temporary base, and once an island suitable for use as a base is found in the Pacific Ocean, it will be immediately relocated to support the detection of the pilot.

Some important things have been transported to Blu-ray Island in advance, by sailboat, and he is still staying here, in addition to handing over to the leader of another group, he also has to think about what kind of ship to take, among the more than 3,000 ships, there are always those in good condition, or suitable for exploration, these need to be picked out.

For this reason, Zhuang Ji has had a headache for several days, because except for a few, there is no obvious strength than the others, which increases the difficulty of selection, and you can't just choose it.

Zhuang Ji didn't know that the ship he continued to explore had already been set, and it was not any of the ships under his command now, but a new warship that had been shaped through countless improvements.
