Chapter 998:Kamchatka Peninsula

In the fixed navy, any large mission, is planned and grouped, according to the decision of the naval industrial system, the order of the Navy's industry is the real industry, with machines, parallel systems, with assembly line technology, the integration of each person into a whole, the use of the overall efficiency, far more efficient than the individual efficiency.

Such an industrial system, the final result of industrialization, the Navy in industrial production, obtained a take-off, more efficient form of organization, coupled with excellent machinery, suddenly let the Navy produce countless products, has entered the level of industrial countries, compared to entering the peak of the industrial revolution in Britain, not less, even beyond.

The reason is very simple, just into the industrial revolution of Britain, how many people, there is no more than 5 million, but back to the Northern Song of the Navy, all at once has a population of nearly 40 million, which is almost the entire population of Europe, or in the 19th century Europe.

Such an industrialization system not only affects the entire fixed naval industry, but also affects a series of organizational structure, the same is the exploration, division of labor has become the focus, only the division of labor, only the division of labor, in order to maximize the ability of each person, and ultimately let the overall efficiency increase, get better results.

Even if there are only 50 ship shearing ships, even if it is a very small point compared to the huge Kuril Islands, they also carry out separate explorations and use the most efficient methods to explore to improve the efficiency of the expedition.

In the whole exploration plan, the Kuril Islands is the first step, in the denser Kuril Islands, gradually find the right charts, all the way to the exploration of the Chaga Peninsula, and then the exploration of the Chaga Peninsula is the second step, the gradual establishment of the peninsula above the more stable base, and then on the basis of the base, continue the exploration, north, east, found traces of the Aleutian Islands, and then follow the Aleutian Islands.

It sounds relatively simple, even if there is a globe, it is on the globe, different coordinates are drawn, but in fact, in this security is not developed, there is no radar, no satellites, no radio world, sailing is a very dangerous thing, sometimes, when there is a storm in the sea, or fog, it may be a small island, can be missed by the lookout, this is not impossible, this is not impossible.

On a sunny day, of course, there is no problem, set in the flying shear ship, the towering mast above the lookout, perhaps very small, but with the help of telescopes, these devices can still observe the situation around dozens of kilometers, but at night, or bad weather can not.

15 kilometers apart, if you count the range of telescopes, equal to the two sides, is about 7.5 kilometers apart, such a distance, even in some clear weather, two contact ships, and even can see each other.Not to mention, a group of five ships, divided into different distances, can be almost very accurate exploration of the same distance.

Because it is not the scope of the nautical chart, there will be such a danger, a visit, at most will go out for 3 days, 3 days to go back, in the middle, delaying the appearance of two or three days, generally a exploration time, about eight or nine days, a month can explore three times.

In the middle of the base camp of Central No. 1, next to the building that has not yet been completely completed, a huge tent was erected, a currently known chart of the sea map, suddenly hanging here, in the future, the task of their entire vanguard, is to discover everything around, the unknown range of charts, to be clear, let them become known, become part of the sea map that the Navy has mastered.

Every fixed exploration, with a goal and a final orientation, a group of people will return uniformly, in the base camp, upload the recorded chart, and then have a special staff to supplement the nautical chart, and then fill each person's chart, in this has been determined in the chart, the next step of the exploration, so not to waste, but also save time.

The speed of the ship, at least 200 kilometers a day, 3 days, full speed forward, almost can walk more than 600 kilometers, but all the inspection fleet, can not have such a fast speed, they need to explore, need to avoid danger, in the encounter of the island, but also need to record.

In fact, every day is about 80 to 100 kilometers, in general, there is no problem, will advance about 4 days, and then return in 3 days, a cycle of about 250 kilometers to 300 miles.

The whole scope of the investigation, of course, more than one direction, since the exploration, then a good exploration is completed, some of the key islands, or some of the advantages of the island, are to explore again, as for the cost, itself, this aspect, the ocean, is not a short time, can be completed, this not only Zhao Xin knows, Zhuangji also knows.

At the beginning, the whole process of exploration, is groping, slowly coming, the initial time, even every day can explore 50 kilometers, has been considered good, because the islands between the Kuril Islands are relatively dense, once into the island dense area, the speed of exploration, will be greatly reduced, after all, found the island, to record, measure some of the basic characteristics of the island, the latitude and longitude, and even the appearance of the graphics, these take time.

50 ships, counting personnel, more than a thousand people, this is the power that Zhuang Ji can use, he did not venture, but based on himself, in the vicinity of the central island to explore, first clear everything around him, and then consider continuing.

50 is certainly not the final number, that is temporary, open the entire navigational exploration number, in order to determine the Navy's production capacity, about 10 to 15 days, there will be a batch of ship clippers, compared with the first batch of 50, behind, each batch of expanded, later, the second batch of the third batch, a total of 600 ship of the ship, gradually stationed in the Central No. 1 began, the manpower and fleet increased.

The increase in manpower, can not be divided into nine groups in accordance with the original method, or more, so flat to arrange, the efficiency of each ship is not high, after careful research, and this month, in the expedition of the harvest, Zhuangji began a drastic reform.

The whole exploration of the subgroup above, divided into several parts, a part is the main force, probably occupy about half of all the ships, the main purpose of these ships, is in a different direction, along the discovered islands, gradually north, drawing charts, under certain circumstances, this is fundamental, and the other half, part, will follow the inner direction, to look directly to the exploration of the Kaga Peninsula, they will be closer to the land, or in the inside of the Kuril Islands, along the coastline, and finally find a certain position.

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

This is tantamount to let the speed of exploration, a big step forward, but this, gave Zhuang Ji a huge lesson, although according to the record, the survey and Chaga Peninsula, from the island, that is, between 1200 and 1500 kilometers, for the speed of the ship, to maintain the highest speed, 200 kilometers a day, five or six days to arrive, but in a complete strange, no charts, without any reference, this is very dangerous, in four consecutive, after losing 16 sets, finally, Zhuang Ji stopped this adventure.

After the completion of the first batch of shippages, the shipyards of the entire fixed navy, like the clock, almost half of the production capacity of the entire fixed navy, are inclined to the flight shear, and even some 1000 tons, 1500 tons, or even 2000 tons of docks, began to use large docks, production of speed-cutting ships, to a certain extent, the production of ship-cuts soared.

The final 10 months of the order, only 8 months to complete, a large number of ship cutters and personnel, concentrated in the Kuril Islands, more large-scale development began.

Soon, in less than 8 months, for the exploration of the Kuril Islands, a paragraph, the entire outline of the entire Kuril Islands, the larger islands, the traffic lanes, were basically clearly explored, and the islands developed had increased to as many as 17, of which three were one grade with the central No. 1.

Because of the continuous advance, the entire forward base, Zhuangji's base, also extended about 800 kilometers to the north, basically located in the northernmost point of the Kuril Islands, and this base was also explored after being determined, and the exploration of the Ka Peninsula.

Speaking of the survey of the Chaga Peninsula, but also with a little lucky ingredients, the initial Zhuangji is ventured, the exploration of the Chaga Peninsula, at that time lost 16 sets, these 16 groups, only 10 are sure to encounter the storm, or hit the reef, 6, just lost.

However, in the beginning, this exploration fleet, there is no good way to deal with the out-of-war, once more than 3 days can not be contacted, it is basically certain, there is no chance, it can not be endless to the middle of the investment, it is a bottomless pit.

It turned out that there were six sets, not sunk, but lost contact, they lost their way in the wind and rain, several of them were damaged, all the way to the north, to the land, with the help of some people's rich experience, and some of the necessities they carried, they survived, even because of the relatively distance of the relationship, they found each other.

After a short period of time in the wild, the combination of two slitters was combined, and finally obtained a position, and through the determination of the orientation, especially for the exploration of land, it was found that this should not be an island, or that it should be a large island that could not be attached, because according to the area they explored, there were at least 100,000 square kilometers.

To calculate this is very easy, along the direction, out of 300 kilometers, is still land, basically, more than 100,000 square kilometers, they have gone more than 300 kilometers.

Near China, the largest island is Ryuz, only more than 30,000 square kilometers, Hokkaido, only 83,000 square kilometers, the world's more than 100,000 square kilometers of islands is not many, this is basically sure, it should be the exploration of the Kaga Peninsula.

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

At this time, Zhuang Ji knew that his adventure was not without harvest, and finally, at least a few months in advance, he found the survey and Chaga Peninsula, and initially established a camp.

Even with such a harvest, Zhuangji still did not dare to continue to take risks, because the previous things, reported to Zhao Xin, and even this unexpected discovery also reported the past, Zhuangji was severely reprimanded, such an adventure, perhaps in the survey and conga peninsula, you can use such a risk, but then, Aleutian Islands is not so good risk-taking, really risk-taking, how many people are not enough to fill in.

The discovery of the Kamchatka Peninsula, although a considerable number of manpower and ships were lost, the end result was good, and the discovery of him was tantamount to the first and second steps of the ocean search.

This survey of the Chaga Peninsula is very large, as long as the Kuril Islands continue to go north, even above the Kamchatka Peninsula, also set up several temporary supply base, with the help of this base, to obtain the nearest supplies, and ultimately save time.

Here, basically, from Hokkaido, has been more than 2000 kilometers, from the mainland of Liaoning, but also far away, even from Vladivostok, to here are some distance,

The tens of thousands of kilometers to the American road, the largest distance, should be from cucurbit to Hokkaido, this 5000 km, are already explored in the sea, which is quite a distance, or along the coastline, said is 5000 kilometers, in fact, there is no behind the exploration so difficult to walk.

What is really difficult to walk is in the sea, an unknown situation, looking for islands and land, which is really a survey of the needle in the haystack, the sea is much larger than the land, even the vast Siberian plains, are easy to get lost, let alone the ocean at a glance.

That is, Zhao Xin gave a point, gave the Kuril Islands and the general orientation and shape of the Chaga Peninsula, if not this, but in the Central Pacific to find Midway and Hawaii, if there is really no charts and coordinates, in the vast ocean, is really a haystack.

The discovery of the exploration of the Chaga Peninsula is equivalent to the exploration of the ocean to take a more important step, but not the most important step, the whole exploration, may not even be 30%, although the distance is more than half, then, less than 3000 kilometers of the voyage, is the most test people, the risk is the greatest.
