In the Dinghai Navy, any large-scale task is planned and grouped, which is determined by the Dinghai Navy's industrial system, which is a real industry, using machines, parallel systems, and assembly line technology to combine everyone into a whole, and using the efficiency of the whole is far higher than the efficiency of the individual.

Such an industrial system, the final result of industrialization, the Dinghai Navy in industrial production, has taken off, more efficient organizational forms, coupled with excellent machines, all of a sudden so that the Dinghai Navy has produced countless products, has entered the level of an industrial country, compared with the United Kingdom, which entered the peak of the industrial revolution, no less, or even surpassed.

The reason is very simple, Britain has just entered the industrial revolution, how many people are there, is there more than 5 million, but the Dinghai Navy, which is backed by the Northern Song Dynasty, suddenly has a population of nearly 40 million, which is almost the population of the entire Europe, or Europe in the 19th century.

Such an industrialized system, not only affected the entire Dinghai industry, but also affected a series of organizational structure, the same is true for exploration, the division of labor and cooperation has become the focus, only the cooperation and division of labor, in order to maximize the ability of each person, and finally let the overall efficiency improve, to obtain better results.

Even if there are only 50 clippers, even if it is only a very insignificant point compared to the huge Kuril Islands, they are also separately explored, and the most efficient methods are used to explore to improve the efficiency of the expedition.

In the whole exploration plan, the Kuril Islands are the first step, in the denser Kuril Islands, gradually find a suitable chart, all the way to the Kamchatka Peninsula, and then the Kamchatka Peninsula is the second step, on the peninsula gradually established, a more stable base, and then on the basis of the base, continue to explore, to the north, to the east, to find the traces of the Aleutian Islands, and then along the Aleutian Islands.

It sounds relatively simple, and even if there is a globe, it is on the globe, drawing different coordinates, but in fact, in this world where there is no development, no radar, no satellite, no radio, navigation is a very dangerous thing, sometimes, when there is a storm at sea, or fog, maybe a not too small island, can be leaked by the lookout, this is not impossible,

On a sunny day, of course, there is no problem, set up on the flying clipper, the lookout on the towering mast, may be very narrow, but with the help of telescopes, these devices can still observe the surrounding situation for dozens of kilometers, but at night, or in bad weather, it is not possible.

15 kilometers apart, if you count the range of the telescope, equal to the two sides, is about 7.5 kilometers apart, such a distance, even in some clear weather, two ships in contact, can even see each other's. Not to mention, a group of 5 ships, divided into different distances, can almost accurately probe a considerable distance.

Because it is a non-nautical chart range, there will be such and such dangers, a survey, at most 3 days out, 3 days to go, 3 days back, in the middle, a delay of two or three days, generally a exploration time, about eight or nine days, a month can be explored three times.

In the base camp of Central No. 1, next to the building that has not yet been completely completed, a huge tent has been erected, and a currently known and proven nautical chart has suddenly hung here, and in the future, the task of their entire vanguard is to find out everything around them, and to explore the charts of the unknown range, so that they can become known, and become part of the nautical charts that the Dinghai Navy has mastered.

Every time a fixed exploration, there is a target and the final direction, a group of people will return in a unified manner, in the base camp, upload the recorded charts, and then have special personnel to supplement the charts, and then fill in each person's charts, in such a determined chart, the next step of exploration, which will not only not be wasted, but also save time.

The speed of the clipper ship is at least 200 kilometers a day, and if it is 3 days, it can go at full speed, almost able to go more than 600 kilometers, but all the exploration fleets cannot have such a fast speed, they need to explore, they need to avoid danger, and when they encounter an island, they also need to record.

In fact, it is about 80 to 100 kilometers per day, and generally speaking, if there is no problem, it will advance for about 4 days, and then return in 3 days, and a cycle will be between 250 kilometers and 300 miles.

The scope of the entire exploration, of course, is more than one direction, since it is to be explored, then the exploration is completed, and some key islands, or islands with certain benefits, are explored, as for the cost, itself, this aspect, the ocean, are not in a short period of time, can be completed, this is not only Zhao Xin knows, Zhuang Ji also knows.

At the beginning, the whole process of exploration was groping, slowly, at the beginning, even able to explore 50 kilometers a day, which is already good, because the islands between the Kuril Islands are relatively dense, once you enter the dense area of the islands, the speed of exploration will be greatly reduced, after all, the discovery of the island, to record, measure some of the basic characteristics of the island, location, latitude and longitude, and even the appearance of the figure, these take time.

50 ships, counting the personnel, more than 1,000 people, this is the power that Shoyoshi can use, he did not rush into the army, but based on himself, he probed near the central island, first figured out everything around him, and then considered continuing

50 is certainly not the final number, it is temporary, open the whole nautical expedition number, in order to determine the production capacity of the navy, about 10 to 15 days, there will be a batch of clippers, compared with the first batch of 50, the back, each batch has been expanded, and later, the second batch of the third batch, a total of 600 clippers, gradually stationed in the middle of the No. 1, manpower and fleet increased.

The number of people increased, it could not be divided into nine groups according to the original method, or more, so that the smooth arrangement, the efficiency of each clipper was not high, after careful research, and in the course of this month, in the harvest of the expedition, Zhuang Ji began to make drastic reforms.

The main purpose of these ships is to draw nautical charts in different directions, along the discovered islands, step by step, to draw nautical charts, and in some cases, this is fundamental, and the other half, part of it, will go directly to the Kamchatka Peninsula in the direction of the interior, and they will be closer to the land, or in the inner side of the Kuril Islands, along the coastline. Finally find the definite location.

They want to determine the next central axis of the peninsula, although there, the dimension is relatively high, the natural conditions are relatively harsh, but close to the coast, the natural conditions are also okay, where to form a relatively fixed point, and then support the next step of exploration.

This is equivalent to saying that the speed of exploration has taken a big step forward, but this has taught Zhuang Ji a huge lesson, although it is said that according to the record, the Kamchatka Peninsula, the distance from this island, that is, between 1200 and 1500 kilometers, for the clippers, to maintain the maximum speed, 200 kilometers a day, can be reached in five or six days, but in a completely unfamiliar premise, without any charts, without any references, this is very dangerous, in four consecutive times, After losing 16 crews, Shoji finally stopped the adventure and moved forward steadily.

After the completion of the first batch of clippers, the shipyards of the entire Dinghai Navy were like clockwork, and almost more than half of the production capacity of the entire Dinghai Navy was inclined to the clippers, and there were even some 1000-ton, 1500-ton, and even 2000-ton docks that began to use large docks to produce clippers, and to a certain extent, the output of clippers soared.

In the end, the 10-month order was completed in only 8 months, and a large number of clippers and personnel were concentrated in the Kuril Islands, and a larger scale of development began.

Soon, it took less than 8 months to explore the Kuril Islands, came to an end, the entire outline of the entire Kuril Islands, the larger islands, and the traffic arteries were basically explored clearly, and the number of developed islands increased to as many as 17, of which 3 were on the same level as the Central No. 1.

Because of the non-stop advance, the entire forward base, Zhuangji's base, also extended about 800 kilometers to the north, basically located in the northernmost part of the Kuril Islands, and after this base was determined, it was also explored to the Kamchatka Peninsula.

Speaking of the Kamchatka Peninsula, there is also a bit of luck, at first Zhuang Ji was adventurous, exploring the Kamchatka Peninsula, at that time lost 16 ship crews, these 16 ship groups, only 10 were sure to encounter a storm, or hit the reef accident, 6, just lost.

It's just that at the beginning, this exploration fleet did not have a good means to deal with the trek, once it was not possible to contact it for more than 3 days, it was basically determined that there was no chance, and it was impossible to endlessly invest in the middle, it was a bottomless pit.

In the end, it turned out that there were 6 ship groups, not sunk, but lost, they lost their way in the wind and rain, several of them had sextant instruments damaged, and drifted north, to the land, with the help of some people's rich experience, as well as some necessities carried, they survived, and even because of the relative distance, they also found each other.

After a short period of life in the wild, the six ships combined and combined two sextants to finally obtain the bearing, and after the determination of the bearing, especially for the exploration of the land, it was found that this should not be an island, or rather, it should be a large island that cannot be attached, because according to the area they detected, there are at least more than 100,000 square kilometers.

It's easy to calculate this, along the direction, out of 300 kilometers, still land, basically, more than 100,000 square kilometers, they walked more than 300 kilometers.

In the vicinity of China, the largest island is the Ryukyus, which is only more than 30,000 square kilometers, and Hokkaido, which is only 83,000 square kilometers, and there are not many islands in the world that exceed 100,000 square kilometers.

Of course, this was just their guess, they determined the coordinates of a few points, and mapped almost 600 kilometers of coastline, and then began to try to return, and it took almost 1 month to finally meet the exploration fleet of the Dinghai Navy.

At this time, Zhuang Ji realized that his adventure was not fruitless, and finally, at least a few months in advance, he found the Kamchatka Peninsula and initially set up a camp.

Even if there is such a gain, Zhuang Ji still does not dare to continue to take risks, because of the previous incident, reported to Zhao Xin, and even this unexpected discovery was reported in the past, Zhuang Ji was severely reprimanded, such an adventure, maybe in the Kamchatka Peninsula, such an adventure, but after that, the Aleutian Islands are not so adventurous, if you really take risks, how many people are not enough.

Although the discovery of Kamchatka lost a considerable number of men and ships, the final result was good, and the discovery of him was equivalent to a very good first and second step of the ocean-going exploration.

The Kamchatka Peninsula is very large, as long as it continues north in the Kuril Islands, and even on the Kamchatka Peninsula, several temporary supply bases have been established, with the help of which to obtain nearby supplies and ultimately save time.

When I got here, basically, it was more than 2,000 kilometers away from Hokkaido, and it was even more far away from the mainland of Liao, and even from Vladivostok, there was some distance to here.

The tens of thousands of kilometers on the road to the Americas, the largest distance should be from Huludao to Hokkaido, this 5,000 kilometers, are the sea areas that have been explored, and the considerable distance is still along the coastline, saying that it is 5,000 kilometers, in fact, it is not as difficult to walk as the later exploration.

The really difficult thing to walk is in the ocean, in an unknown situation, to find islands and land, it is really a needle in a haystack exploration, the sea is much larger than the land, even the vast Siberian plain, it is easy to get lost, let alone the unobstructed ocean.

That is, Zhao Xin gave a point, giving the general orientation and shape of the Kuril Islands and the Kamchatka Peninsula, if it is not for this, but in the Central Pacific Ocean, to find Midway and Hawaii, if there is really no nautical chart and coordinates, in the vast ocean, it is really a needle in a haystack.

The discovery of the Kamchatka Peninsula is equivalent to a relatively important step in the exploration of the ocean, but it is not the most important step, and the entire exploration may not even be 30 percent, although it is said that the journey is more than halfway, and the next voyage of less than 3,000 kilometers is the most testing and dangerous.
