Chapter 1048:Exploration of America

In the fixed navy, the whole Navy because of the emergence of corn, and produced a huge change, under the premise of the rapid increase in side food and food, the per capita meat, eggs and milk more and more, this may be for adults, the effect is not obvious, but for teenagers, the effect is very obvious.

As long as the young people in the growth period, in the popularization of this, at least, the strength of height, and many other indicators have a huge improvement, wisdom and talent above, there is not so obvious, but in general, is also the promotion, the magnitude of this promotion, in a person, the most is to improve the physique of this person, but for the entire fixed navy, a huge population, a little time, is also quite large.

This is the important role of milk and eggs, even for Zhao Xin's policy of benefiting the people, a slight word of the official, in seeing this effect, do not say anything, although they can not understand the quality of the human body, but the height and strength and other aspects have been improved, which also represents that young people in the future after the adult, their physical quality is very good.

Physical quality is not all, but a more powerful body will be very good in all aspects, especially in manual labor, the workers are already the basis of the economy of the established navy, the quality of the workers is improved, and for the fixed navy, it is not a small supplement.

Because of the emergence of corn, there have been very subtle changes in the Navy, from the food security above, 700 million acres of corn planting, even in the current production premise, has been enough to ensure the entire food security, from the point of view of eating food, just a corn, you can support the current food needs of the entire population of the Navy, which is very important for food security.

Not to mention, the value of the feed brought by corn, even under 700 million acres of land, the feed can not be used in all, but only the part of the use is enough to determine the entire Navy's whole meat consumption, which is an additional food security, and has a greater effect.

Meat contains more heat, can replace more food, this is a basic thing, in the physical quality, the improvement is more obvious, which is very large, for the whole country's quality improvement is quite obvious.

Corn in the fixed navy, has played a huge role, just 2 years, replaced a lot of miscellaneous grains, become the third largest food outside the rice noodles, although not the mainstream, not very suitable for Chinese people to eat, but the entire diet is expanding.

This is North America, Indians, they have created a lot of advantages in planting, in history, the most important plants, now the three major crops in North America, only found one, there are two did not find, in two years, although the investment of corn is not small, in the country to change a lot, but in the Americas, the action is greater.

On the other side of the ocean, although far away from the navy, but because the Americas is too important a relationship, after the discovery of corn, the Navy not only did not reduce the investment, but also increased the investment.

Without a suitable shipping lane, from the fixed navy to the Americas, this requires detection, it requires a shearing ship and an experienced captain, but once the channel is determined, it is much simpler.

In the course of several years of exploration, countless captains and explorers explored the route from the north to the Americas, although they had the guidance of Zhao Xin, but they also made great efforts to finally find this road, and at the same time, they also explored the long Aleutian Islands.

For a long time, the efficiency was not very high, but the comparison of the surrounding exploration was clear, too, because of the exploration of the relationship, along the way established a series of bases, these bases, large, small, dense, all over the Aleutian Islands.

Initially, in order to ensure the efficiency of exploration, the large and small islands as the basis, the large island base as the basis, and then a circle of small and medium-sized islands.

In this way, it is a very advantageous method for exploration, large bases, can support small and medium bases, some supplies and ships, on small islands, perhaps not much storage, only large islands can be.

This was for exploration, in order to provide a large number of fleets for a long time, and a large number of support for the construction of ports and bases in the future, it was necessary to have enough large islands.

But in the future, it is not necessary to ensure the North American route, although these large and critical islands will not be abandoned, spending so much money, and under the premise of such a huge amount of time, it is impossible to easily give up.

However, the route and exploration are two different things, in the exploration of the North American route, almost the Aleutian Islands above, most of the islands have been detected, perhaps on the exploration, some islands are appropriate, can be used as the core of exploration, but in the waterway above, they may not be suitable.

The first choice is safety, if the channel is covered with all kinds of reefs, and if there are all kinds of reefs in the channel, there is no danger in this channel.

On the other hand, the waterway must also take into account a variety of factors, the nearest road, after taking into account the safety, must be near, near, also represents the time savings, the most important factor in the voyage is the distance, the distance can be beyond the scope of existence.

Of course, in the future, for the adjustment of the channel, there are many programs, such as ocean currents and wind direction, in the absence of steamship and the whole machine power under the premise of popularization, wind is the most important aspect.

In the ocean, there is a monsoon, winter and summer, the direction of the monsoon is different, plus the ocean currents and the like, in fact, in different seasons, the route should be slightly different, which needs to be adjusted.

If you switch to the European method of nautical discovery, it is already very good to form an ordinary route, and it may take 30 years or even 50 years to form an efficient one.

However, for the fixed navy, step by step steady and steady, every step is recorded, and the use of human and material resources, far above the Western colonists, so not only efficient, the final formation of the channel is also very perfect, winter and summer, the formation of two completely different waterway, at the same time, for the ocean current and the like, also satisfied.

Nearly a hundred islands, after a series of choices, also chose the best ones, the distance between each island, about 220 kilometers, for the speed of the ship, is a day's distance, even for the Spanish sailing ship, is also two days, so in this era, even in the depths of the Pacific Ocean, this safety factor is also very high.

Precisely because of this channel, in the designated Navy's terrible human and material resources, can be perfect play, before is in the exploration of the fleet, consume a lot of materials, now, do not need to continue to invest, even the node of the port, but also need a little investment, in this premise, a large number of substances, constantly along the thousands of miles of the channel, transported to the Americas.

In the exploration fleet in the Americas, there is no waste of this material delivery, in three years, from the discovery of the American continent, from the center of the Aleutian Peninsula, the Navy along the coast, a total of 18 ports, almost every 200 to 250 kilometers, will build a port, which is exactly a flying shear, about a day of range, the distance and contact between these two to the extreme.

In this adjustment, countless resources were invested in the Americas, although most of them can be obtained locally, but the arrival of machinery, personnel, and other things, which promoted the great development here, a series of buildings that did not lose to the Americas, began to appear in the Americas, given the Navy in the Americas, provided great support.

The Chinese, itself is a miracle-creating race, to a certain extent, the American Railway, if there is no Chinese labor, perhaps, his construction, to promote the future for many years.

In this era, Zhao Xin and beyond the machinery of this era, opened up this feature of China, nearly a thousand years ahead of schedule, China, once again opened a huge construction process.

In the Americas, especially near the coast of the Pacific Ocean, because the existence of the Rocky Mountains not only cut the Americas into two parts, but also caused the fracture of the kingdom, the interior of the American continent, which is a few powerful Indian kingdoms, but these kingdoms are not in North America.

Even for the Indian kingdoms of America, some of them looked up, in fact, even without the appearance of Western colonists, and in the Americas there was no such powerful central kingdom as China, which was mainly tribal or tribally union.

Compared with Asia, America has the same place, there are different places, the same place is that the same belongs to the northern hemisphere, there are similar climate, but there are different places.

That is, in the Americas, the grassland area is not large, the north of the Americas, not as large as Asia, although there are nearly 2 million square kilometers of grassland, but in the Americas, nomadic people have not formed.

Nomads have always been the great enemy of the peasant nation, and if there were nomads in the north of the Americas, it would be possible that in the course of the battle against each other, the development of the North American countries, or in the course of the war, would have progress in the war would have gone further than it is now, and only in Central America would there be an empire.

It is also very funny to say, the Indians, in the agriculture and herdsmen, have many advantages, but they do not raise horses, perhaps, in ancient America, there are horses, there are some research results, the North American Indians, from the past of the merchants, in the ancient period, the Arctic is not so cold, and the two continents are connected together.

In this case, there must be something in the Americas on this side of Asia, and most of the animals are on both sides.

However, the Indians are very good in many aspects, but they will not raise horses, and the rich environment of the Americas has also made many northern Indians live on hunting, and these only horses have disappeared in nature.

There is no such thing as a very capable animal, and there are no other animals that can replace horses, and there are many bison in North America, but the bison cannot ride, and some people may have tried, but these people all ended in death.

Nomad, the reason why it is nomadic, is the need to swim, if there is no horse, just rely on the feet, nomads have no foundation for birth, in the grassland, because the harsh environment, are small tribes, hundreds of people, dozens of people exist, to hunt for a living.

North America and Canada region, and even the northern United States, there are many Indian tribes, the number is also quite, but there is no national level, the most is the tribe, or tribal alliance, these tribal alliances, although the overall strength is not small, but in a very large land above, future generations, the United States and Canada, the two countries together, an area of 20 million square kilometers.

In such a large area, if there were not enough horses, it could not be combined into a powerful force, let alone that their position was in the middle and near the Atlantic Ocean, blocked by the Rocky Mountains, and these threats to the fixed navy were almost equal to zero.

Crucially, on this side of the Rocky Mountains, near this side of the Pacific Ocean, although the land is good, it is very narrow, and because of the obstacles of the Rocky Mountains, there is less internal contact, so even if the Navy built such a large port group, it has not been affected.

After all, thousands of miles away, although the Navy has the ability to sweep, it is not capable of governing, if not the requirements of Zhao Xin, get all kinds of products from the Americas, as long as the fleet is explored, send a few people to come, and maintain the settlement at the beginning.

From the very simple investigation of the Americas, the Navy understood that the Americas are very large, the total area, may be several times larger than the current area controlled by the navy, so much larger, so large territory, not to say that millions of people, or even tens of millions of people can control down.

Now, the Navy population is quite a lot, but a third is no ability, can not get rid of the parents of the doll, more than 100 million people, full of calculation, that is, about 70 million, if you deduct the elderly, women, the real adult, that is, more than 20 million, this time, so many people come, it is not realistic.

In this case, the Navy chose to be along the Pacific Ocean, gradually extending southward to ensure that the distance between each port, is the voyage of about a day of flight, 200 to 250 kilometers, choose more suitable as a port, it is determined as a port, 18 ports, almost from the Aleutian Peninsula, gradually extending more than 4,500 kilometers to the south, soon from the Canadian waters near, gradually came into contact with the southern United States, very natural, came into contact with the largest power of the Maya Empire in North America.
