Many of the Spanish home fleet, including the army and navy, who had fled to the East, did not have much of the resources to carry out the various tests in the true sense of the word, so in many cases, they could only be "lenient with the enemy" in their arrangements. Coupled with the fact that Manila, which is located in the Eastern Trade Node, has no shortage of saltpeter and sulfur for a long time, each demolition ship can carry as much as 3,000 pounds of black powder for blasting attacks alone.

Even if the violent explosion occurred three feet away, the huge air waves and vibrations caused the heavy hull armor to slap violently on the hull, causing damage and water ingress in many places. In the huge shock, the vast majority of the crew was stunned at the first time, but perhaps the external steel plate finally resisted some energy, when the entire hull was on the verge of sinking because of damage into the water, some people finally reacted, and had already prepared to wake up the people around them in an extreme way.

It was precisely because the officers and men of the capital ships had been somewhat prepared before the battle that there was no martyrdom of the entire crew and the ship in the process of sinking the ship brought about by such a blasting attack.

But when, about a quarter of an hour later, a second violent and massive explosion occurred at a closer distance from the hull, the armoured ship that had been hit was not so lucky. The greater impact force caused the hanging armor to completely destroy the side of the ship, and the vast majority of the officers and men on the ship did not wake up in time, and had to sink into the water with the sinking ship and the entire ship.

The sinking of the two main armored ships in succession also made Wang Yuan sober up at this time, and quickly issued an order for the fleet to break through, and after the power of the machine was fully exerted, although the speed of the big ship could not catch up with those small boats with rickshaw devices for various reasons, the benefits to the subsequent counterattack were indeed self-evident. During the battle, the ship's gunners also became more and more experienced, aiming as much as possible in the direction of the enemy's wheeled boats and firing heavy shotguns.

A succession of explosions followed, but no more frightening explosions occurred within three or four feet of the armoured ships of the main group.

China's domestic natural gas consumption in 2016 was about 200 billion cubic meters, almost equal to the amount of gas available, according to a May 19 report by the Nihon Keizai Shimbun. In terms of uses, natural gas is mostly used in manufacturing and power generation. The Chinese government has put forward plans to switch from coal to natural gas for coal-fired power stations and boilers in major cities such as Beijing, where air pollution is severe, and domestic gas consumption is expected to reach 4500 to 500 billion cubic meters by 2030. To this end, it is necessary to secure a system that can supply 600 billion cubic meters of natural gas.

According to the report, the Chinese government is drafting a medium- and long-term natural gas plan until 2030. BP has announced the world's energy trends through 2035. By 2035, the world's natural gas consumption will surpass coal, and by region, China's natural gas consumption will increase significantly, surpassing the European Union and Russia, and becoming the second largest natural gas user after the United States.

To increase supply, China plans to increase domestic gas production to 300 billion cubic meters by 2030, more than double the amount in 2016. Natural gas imports will also increase from 70 billion cubic meters in 2016 to a maximum of 300 billion cubic meters. Preparations are ongoing.

Specifically, China Petroleum & Chemical Corporation and others are vigorously exploiting natural gas in inland areas, expanding the shale gas extraction that has been launched in Chongqing and other places to more than 100 billion cubic meters, the report said. China will add gas pipelines with Turkmenistan and other Central Asian countries in 2020. The gas pipeline from Russia will be opened in 2019, and China is exploring adding more

In 2050, the domestic natural gas production will be 400 billion ~ 450 billion cubic meters, and the consumption will be 750 billion ~ 850 billion cubic meters, accounting for about 18% of the total primary energy consumption

This is the conclusion jointly announced by the World Tourism Cities Federation and the Tourism Research Center of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences in Beijing on January 9. According to the "World Tourism Economy Trends Report (2017)" released by the two organizations at the China Outbound Travel Forum and Research Results Conference on the same day, although the global economic recovery is still weak, the global tourism economy is significantly faster than the global economy, becoming an important driving force for the global economic recovery.

In 2016, the total number of global tourists exceeded 10 billion for the first time, reaching 10.5 billion, an increase of 4.8% over the previous year, 1.4 times the size of the global population, and the total global tourism revenue reached 5.17 trillion US dollars, an increase of 3.6% over the previous year, equivalent to 7.0% of global GDP. The growth rate of total global tourist arrivals and total tourism revenue is significantly higher than that of global GDP. Tourism growth contributed 9.10% to the GDP of developed economies and 4.24% to GDP growth of emerging economies.

The top 10 tourist destinations in the world are all from Europe, the Americas and the Asia-Pacific region. Between 2005 and 2016, the European sector fell from 25.6% to 16.3% of the total number of global tourists, the Americas sector from 27.3% to 17.7%, and the Asia-Pacific sector from 43.5% to 63.0%. In terms of global tourism revenue, the European sector decreased from 42.6% to 35.3%, the Americas sector decreased from 32.4% to 31.0%, and the Asia-Pacific sector increased from 21.0% to 28.9%

From January to November, Baoding's total fiscal revenue reached 37.48 billion yuan, an increase of 16.8%.

The city's general public budget revenue reached 19.95 billion yuan, an increase of 14.9 percent, 4.9 percentage points higher than the provincial average, ranking first in the province for the first time this year. Among them, the tax revenue reached 13.69 billion yuan, an increase of 6.7%, and among the main taxes, value-added tax and personal income tax increased by 97.9% and 24.3% respectively; Non-tax revenue reached 6.25 billion yuan, up by 38.0%

Stealth Bombing: The B2A or B21 or the 2037 next-generation bomber is not important, but represents the ability to bomb strategic opponents with a low loss rate. The amount of bombs dropped in a single combat was 8 times higher than that of 155 self-propelled guns, which was further increased by 8 times due to the main use of precision-guided munitions. The ability to fight a day is inferior to that of artillery, but because of the cumulative sortie ability and other operational advantages, it is still equivalent to the strategic role of 60-70 times the 155 self-propelled guns.

Nuclear Cannon: A weapon platform for firing tactical nuclear weapons. For example, a nuclear gun that can fire 40-50 rounds of 4000 tons of 155 mm guns at a time; Or a 1.4 million ton yield tactical short guide with a similar destructive capacity, which can launch several nuclear missiles with a yield of several tens of tons at a time. One is theoretically equal to 2,000 155 mm self-propelled guns, but because it is impossible to have smooth logistics or sufficient supply of nuclear bombs under the requirements of actual combat, it is only intended to be three levels of heavy artillery, with more than 500 times the advantage.

Nuclear Hidden Bomb: A hidden bomb carrying 88 nuclear bombs can drop 50-60 nuclear warheads with a yield of 470,000 tons at a time. Because the nuclear hidden bombardment base will also be destroyed in the corresponding environment, although it has dozens of times the output of nuclear artillery firepower, it is still converted into only 8 times the advantage due to a single sortie
