Chapter 196 Three Micro Elemental Stone Mines
Among them, four third-level warships and one fourth-level warship are in production and will come back. This time, the total cost of purchasing warships is 6,312 low-grade Yuanshi, which can be said to be very large. If it is replaced with gold and silver, it is actually nothing, but if it is required, it will be more difficult.
Fortunately, the Yuanstone in the Great Han Kingdom still has a lot of savings, and there are three micro Yuanstone veins hidden in the Great Han Kingdom and have not been mined for the time being. Once urgently used, they can be mined at any time.
You read that right, there are three, one is Xianquan Peak, and the other is in the East China Sea Kingdom. Before the East China Sea Kingdom, they sat on the Jinshan Mountain without knowing it. The other is in the Heavenly Kingdom, which are all newly occupied areas.
The Yuan stone reserves of Xianquan Peak are about one million, and the micro-mine vein in Donghai Kingdom are about seven or eight hundred thousand, but the Tianfang Kingdom has a large reserve, and the system is estimated to be about four million.
Except for the one on Xianquan Peak that is relatively easy to mine, the other two are actually very deep underground, otherwise no one would have discovered them until now. The mining is more difficult, and Xu Boju doesn't want to move for the time being.
After all, it is not necessary yet. Once excavated, one will be easily remembered by the countries, and the other will destroy the local vitality.
These warships are not enough to be bought back. Daily maintenance is nothing. The Han Kingdom is not short of that little money, but once sailing, the first-level warships will consume one low-grade Yuan stone, five second-level warships, twenty third-level warships, and one medium-grade Yuan stone in one month. If you fight with all your might, the consumption speed will be even more terrifying, and it may be ten times or even dozens of times.
In short, this is a money-burning thing. I really miss the oil-burning warships on the earth. Unfortunately, those things will become scrap metal because of the rules because of the rules.
Two months later, on January 11, 2016, the second second-order shipyard of the Great Han Dynasty was also built in Linhai County. It will not produce ordinary ships here, nor even first-order ships, but only second-order ships for offshore trade.
When a fleet is built, a third-level sea ship seized from Tianfang Kingdom will be formed as a maritime caravan and handed over to the East China Sea Navy to escort the south for trade. This will be another leap forward for the business of the Han Kingdom.
As for the East China Sea Islands, he still has to wait. He doesn't want to have contact with the other side for the time being. After all, the Reincarnation Valley is a thunder. Xu Boju has sent the Embroidered Uniform Guard to the Seven Stars Islands one step ahead of time. It's not too late to go after finding out the situation there.
In the next three months, Linhai City and Yuehu City were completed one after another, and the people and merchants moved in one after another and began to operate.
Five months later, on June 16, 20th year of the Great Han Dynasty, the township renovation and new construction projects in the 20 southern counties were completed nearly two months ahead of schedule, and the whole country was thrilled.
During this period, the first navy of the Great Han Kingdom, the East China Navy, had officially formed an army, and the warships of Bohai City were also back, preparing for the first escort operation, because the first large-scale maritime trade group of more than 30 aristocratic families and merchants in the Great Han Kingdom was also ready to go to the south to conduct transactions.
The East China Sea Navy is divided into the East China Sea Fleet and the Marine Corps. The coastal border defense forces have been independently divided and have become the main border defense force stationed on the coast of Dahan.
The East China Sea Fleet has two squadrons, one main fleet and one auxiliary fleet.
The main fleet consists of brand new fourth-level battleships as flagships. Below are five brand new third-level battleships, three third-level battleships with better performance, and a total of nine battleships. The total force is 8,400 people, all full.
You should know that a fourth-level warship has a full capacity of 2,000 people and a third-level warship has a full capacity of 800 people. Another point is that it is also the main factor restricting the navies of various countries, that is, the requirements of the navy must be all at the level of warriors, even if it is just a first-level warship, this is very harsh.
Therefore, Tianfangguo's maritime trade is relatively good, but there is no real navy. It can only be regarded as a maritime armed force and cannot exert all the power of warships.
The auxiliary fleet consists of a second-hand fourth-level battleship as the flagship, two second-hand third-level battleships as the core, and twelve second-level battleships as the main force, forming a fleet of 4,800 troops, which is not as full as 7,200.
The second-level battleship should be 300 people in full.
There is no way, the requirements for naval soldiers are too high. The Han Dynasty can cultivate so many qualified navy in just over a year, which is cost-effective. In addition, the Han Dynasty has all practiced martial arts and has a high level of martial arts of more than 300,000. Many of these people have broken through this year.
I believe that in a few months, the auxiliary fleet will be full.
The remaining 16 first-level warships, of which 11 second-hand ones have become practice warships of the East China Sea Fleet, and the remaining 5 new first-level warships have been assigned to the coastal border defense forces for near-shore patrols.
The full capacity requirement for the first-level battleship is 80 people.
This time, a maritime fleet consisting of more than 30 aristocratic families and merchants, totaling 3 fourth-level sea ships, 16 third-level sea ships, and 85 second-level sea ships, without first-level sea ships. Because Linhai Shipyard only produces second-level sea ships, the output this year has been eaten by aristocratic families and merchants in the Han Dynasty.
A total of 104 sea ships.
The three fourth-level sea ships and 16 third-level sea ships were royal merchant ships. Except for the four third-level sea ships seized by Tianfangguo, the rest of these sea ships were purchased in Bohai City, which cost a lot of money.
Fortunately, these sea ships can be purchased with gold and silver currency, and they are not driven by Yuanshi. They have drawn formations on the ship, which can continuously absorb vital energy from the outside world to drive the ship's navigation. The corresponding navigation speed and acceleration are incomparable to warships.
The combat effectiveness is even worse than a little.
This time, the main fleet of the East China Sea Navy was escorted. Although there were only nine ships, it was mainly deterrent. Not many people dared to make a decision, because the Han Kingdom had already become very famous in Beiliecheng's sphere of influence. Everyone agreed that the Han Kingdom was supported by the Eastern family and did not dare to provoke.
As for the facts, Xu Boju didn't argue anything. He just misunderstood, but he didn't say anything.
On July 2, 2016, the population officially exceeded 30 million. Because the living standards of the Han Dynasty improved rapidly, and there was no war and the public security was good. Under the official policy of encouraging childbirth, more than three million babies were born in the Han Dynasty in this year and a half, and the remaining more than one million were bought from slave merchants.
I have never stopped buying slaves, because Xu Boju understood that only people are the most fundamental and the foundation of a country. Of course, the premise is that the Han Dynasty has the ability to support so many people, otherwise it will collapse.
Obviously, the Han Dynasty is still in a stage of its prosperity. Due to the nourishment of vitality, the grain output in this world is high. With the current land of the Han Dynasty, it is not a problem to increase it by more than ten times.
