Forward Base
Chapter 996:Forward Base
The sea near Hokkaido is just in the place where the tropical air currents and cold air currents meet, and two ocean currents of different temperatures collide here, produce waves, lift up the nutrients of the seabed, enter the sea, and raise a large number of fish.
These fish are concentrated here to eat, which also forms a fishing flood, the Pacific Ocean, most of the fish will be concentrated here, these eat nutrients or herbivorous fish, and attract carnivorous fish, a complete biological chain appeared.
Whether it is all kinds of plankton at the bottom of the food chain, or tiger shark whales at the top of the food chain, in the face of the fishing of the navy, they have no way, and humans will always stand at the top of the food chain.
People can easily kill any part of the fish above the food chain, whether it is the top, meat-eating fish, or the lowest shrimp rice and the like, can become a human dish, and even different types, will have a different taste.
In the whole world, there are not many places where such the largest cold and warm air flow meet, and there are many at sea, but there are islands around them, and there are only so few that can be easily fished.
Hokkaido, even in the thick, is one of the world's largest fishing grounds, at this moment, the world's famous fishing grounds, is now not developed, for example, the North Sea fishing grounds, they are relatively far from the land, relatively far away, the British Isles are still very small population, the island itself is enough to raise these people, there is no need to develop fishing grounds in the sea.
At present, Hokkaido has become the back garden of the fixed navy, from the beginning of the occupation of Hokkaido, now, has been about 4 years of development, has been developed quite in place, now Hokkaido, is not that, the climate is bad, only can rely on the sky to eat the place, which has become the best setting of naval environment, and the fishery resources and output value of the most developed place, the development speed has been increasing, has become an important part of the fixed naval system.
It turns out that the indigenous people of the Caucasian descendants living here are about tens of thousands of people, they still live in primitive society, slashing and burning, even after hundreds of years, in the face of the Japanese Warring States army, are not rivals at all, let alone armed to the teeth of the fixed navy.
Fortunately, the Navy attaches importance to the existence of people themselves, it is easy not to lift the butcher knife, relying on the huge number of Han people, coupled with its own advanced nature, more than ten or twenty years can complete the assimilation, the future, are the same people, why kill.
The clan race that was more important before, and now it doesn't matter, as long as the people are separated and scattered ethnic minorities, maintaining some unique characteristics, may make the Chinese nation more diversified in the future, and enhance many aspects of the human aspects.
The unique traditions of various nationalities, the inheritance and the things buried in the bones, can only gradually play a role if the country develops and is strong to a certain extent.
Hokkaido's indigenous people are not many, compared with other islands in Japan, Hokkaido's area is very large, but the natural conditions are relatively bad, in the sea, there is little snow, but the snow in Hokkaido is often, the temperature is relatively low, under the life of slash-and-burn, can feed so many people, it is already a big enough relationship in Hokkaido.
This part of the indigenous people, directly removed from Hokkaido, into the system of the fixed navy, whether they are working, or learning, then do not know, in short, the navy is like a huge furnace and machine, as long as it is suitable for this furnace and machine, you can burn them together, become a most inconspicuous screw.
Now, Hokkaido has built 18 ports, 18 coastal cities, and 9 large-scale farm-type cities as the main body, each city population is not much, about 100,000, the number of farms inside is even less, about 50,000 or so.
The entire Hokkaido has a population of 2.3 million, but the output value is not small.
Marine fishing, even in the 21st century, is a relatively high-income industry, compared with the land, the ocean is not only larger, the space is larger.
For the time being, human use of land is only a little space on the ground, but for the sea, even the offshore continental shelf has a depth of 200 meters, which is the place where plants and organisms grow the most and the most output.
At present, Hokkaido Fisheries Company, a total of 170,000 trawling vessels, in the fish season, the summit has 7 million workers, for the fishing company, according to the output value of each worker to create 5000 yuan, the total output value of 35 billion.
This is not the entire capacity of a fishing company, because it is only the value of the fish caught in the sea, and it is not calculated that the value of the deep processing carried out by the affiliated companies.
Ordinary fish catch, after deep processing, can increase the value of two or three times, as for the more high-grade precious fish catch, if deep processing, in-depth development, tens of times is not impossible.
For the time being, in terms of deep processing, the value added of the fishing company is about twice, so that the output value of the entire fishery company is as high as 70 billion, and such a fishing company alone will increase the largest income of the Northern Song Dynasty by dozens of times.
This is a super-large state-owned enterprise, the same is also a technology-intensive enterprise, in this enterprise, divided into two two-month fish season, each season, a large number of people, will be concentrated here, for marine fishing, countless fish from the sea, was fished up, and then through some deep processing plants in the coastal port for processing.
There are finished products, pickled, canned, these things, after processing, through the size of the navy of the transport fleet, to the various parts of the navy.
Of course, there are also Northern Song, although because of the limited consumption level of the Northern Song, only some of the lowest grades were sent, and there were a few high-end, but even these created high wealth.
In addition to these deep processing, in fact, these two years, there are many different ways, along with the Navy, health, for better fishing resources, some of the aquaculture vessels also began to appear, at the same time, the large number of applications of batteries, as well as the development of household appliances, some miniaturized refrigerators also began to appear.
Frozen, can be said to be a relatively early way to store food for a long time, the time found has been unexasurable, Zhao Xin with the eyes of future generations, put forward the refrigerator compressor such a theory, the use of power, let the air compress, and then reduce the temperature, with the outside world exchange, to maintain a certain low temperature.
This technology beyond this era, under the promotion of card systems and high-quality metals, actually succeeded, even if it is relatively simple, power consumption is very large, but their appearance, but let some precious fish, can appear in the inland city in a living body, or relatively fresh.
Salmon raw, is an example, because the salmon muscle fiber is very developed, but also rich in a variety of proteins, once dead, it is easy to rot and spoil.
When fishing for salmon, only those large can be raised and sent to the port by high-speed boat, because of the cost-effective relationship, the price of this thing is very high, almost not ordinary people can enjoy the food.
After the pickling salmon, of course, it can be better preserved, but such fish can not be made of fish, and even taste above, and other similar.
Even the smallest electric refrigerator can store part of it, some large ships can even do some large cold storage, make a little sealing conditions, prepare a batch of ice in advance, plus the use of electricity, so that you can reserve for a longer period of time.
In this way, some of the more precious fish in the sea also began to slowly decline in the price, into the homes of ordinary people, and even with the output value of the entire fishing company, also greatly increased.
Mainly based on fishing and deep processing in Hokkaido, almost no exploration of the location of the fleet, temporarily in a more remote place, made some warehouses, reserve some materials, but these places, immediately also need to use up.
For this, the exploration fleet is also early to prepare, Hokkaido base, just a temporary, real base, on the Kuril Islands, set the naval construction team, is on the above tense construction.
From cuum island to Hokkaido, from the voyage, is not very far, but from cuum island to Jeju Island, it is almost 1600 kilometers, and the length of Japan is more than 2000 kilometers, that is to say, counting other corners, from cunnilings to Hokkaido, at least 4000 kilometers.
This is already a long time for the ocean, from cu to Hainan Island, it is only more than 3,000 kilometers.
With the speed of the ship, the cruising speed of about 12 knots per hour, 12 hours a day, that is, 240 kilometers, in fact, this piece, has been explored quite perfect, in the ship type and ocean current wind cooperation, is also quite in place.
50 ship of the ship, is not a very large fleet, basically to ensure the speed of about 15 knots, and day and night, although the speed of the night, a little slower, but the average can also guarantee the speed of about 11 knots, a day down, more than 250 nautical miles, that is, close to 400 nautical miles.
Such a short flight, it took only 10 days to arrive.
This also created the entire fixed navy, ocean navigation record, such a long distance, before it also took at least a month to time, now, only 10 days to arrive, which means that the distance between the two sides is shortened, the difficulty of management is greatly reduced.
In the future, even if you take a lot of islands and control a certain number of seas, there will be no problems with unobstructed decrees, and high-speed navigation can easily solve this problem.
10 days of sailing, spanning a distance of 4000 kilometers, for the newly built fleet of ship shearing, is also a test, the fleet personnel, temporary repair in Hokkaido's headquarters camp, personnel relaxed, can be seen in some scenic areas of Hokkaido, the maintenance personnel of the base camp, also the flight shearing ship has been certain.
The more new the ship, the more expensive, such as this ship, some sub-projects, electrical appliances, and some things on the bottom of the ship, which have an impact on speed and need to be handled.
At the same time, some necessary inspections should also be started, some hidden dangers, or some aspects are insufficient, but also need to be transformed.
These shearing ships rested for two days in Hokkaido, gradually becoming familiar, with the waters of the north, and studying various charts, as well as strategies, and then entered the forward base and began to continue northward.
To the north along Hokkaido, about a few dozen kilometers away, there is a fairly large island, and then continue, the island presents a gradual shrinkage, and narrow distribution.
These two islands, too close to Hokkaido, rather than using it as a base, it is better to continue, along this line, continue, about 600 kilometers forward, almost halfway to the Kuril Islands, there is an area is still large, but all aspects of the conditions are very good island.
This island is not very large, about two or three hundred square kilometers, about the size of the navy, but it is a volcanic island, because it is the relationship between the dead volcano, the center is quite high, in fact, the place can only occupy about 10 parts of the island, about 20 square kilometers.
However, in this area of more than 20 square kilometers, it has a fairly good port, as well as a safe haven and the like, basically without much development, it can become a forward base.
This is also the preset of the entire exploration base, at the same time, here is also in the northernmost point of the previous exploration, and then to the north, only sporadic, the most courageous fishing boats, only dare to continue to catch some rare fish, but there are no charts, but there are no charts, but there is no some hydrology, not suitable for them as a basis.
The leading ships have begun to develop the islands, as well as the surrounding islands, because on these islands, there are only a few animals, not many people, the naming of these islands, and the naming rights of these islands have been handed over to the designated navy.
Under the evil taste of Zhao Xin, the Kuril Islands still maintain their original name, and in itself, this Kuril Island is also veritable, but this large island, as well as several surrounding islands, was named the central island.
Of the 27 islands, which range from Central 1 to Central No. 27, the focus is on the development of four of which are not very far, within 50 to 100 kilometers.
At the same time, these islands and ports are connected to each other, and as long as they are developed, they can immediately promote each other and become a complete base camp.
According to the plan of the Navy, this is one of the three parts, the first part of the Kuril Islands, will be explored in this as the center, and then the peninsula, and then the Aleutian Islands, through these three, from the Americas, is not far away.
