The Great Ming Dynasty Dominate Overseas

Yan Dashao dreamed that he would become an extremely tacky golden-bronze boy in the future. After the troops landed successfully, established a camp, and established a firm foothold, he led the fleet to the north to visit Ryukyu. He wanted to win Ryukyu and get through. Passage of Wadao Island.

　　 No way, Wajima is close to us, and there are a lot of silver, don’t let this one with flowing silver

Leading two Tier 3 battleships and 12 Tier 6 cruisers, he left the main fleet of four Tier 5 cruisers and up to 24 Tier 6 cruisers in Tainan. Tainan is his foundation and should not be allowed. Lost, and his rule has been in full swing after defeating the Fujian Navy last year. No one can challenge his position, and he can leave with confidence.

　　 In addition to combat ships, there are two newly built "Yasha-class" fast supply ships.

　　Southeast Prefecture began to build Tier 5 ships!

　　 This kind of "Yasha-class" fast supply ship is similar to the fifth-class cruise ship, but they have removed the cumbersome bow and stern, and the hull is streamlined, which is very conducive to speed.

As a supply ship, they have no holes in their hulls and no guns. They only have twelve six-pound cannons on the open deck for protection. The cabins are filled with a large amount of rice, noodles, bacon, salted fish, and vegetables. Dry, repair supplies, water tanks, and coal!

　　 There are two large chimneys in the middle of the ship. Below is an evaporator, which uses ignited coal to heat sea water and distill to obtain fresh water!

　　 The fresh water obtained can replenish the fleet. Although it is not much, it is precious. As long as there is water, the fleet can support it.

Ancient voyages were limited by technology. Fresh water was not easy to preserve, and it was easy to smell bad. Clean drinking water became turbid, dirty and smelly after a week. The British way of dealing with it was to use beer (beer would also deteriorate at the beginning of the voyage) , Wine (also deteriorates, but can be imported, but the wine is more expensive, and is often enjoyed by officers), rum (stable quality, not perishable) is used as water for the officers and soldiers to drink (the alcoholics are really happy).

Rum was actually only served by the West Indian British Army that produced rum in 1655. It was only a hundred years before it was supplied to the British Army in large quantities. Now this process can be accelerated a bit, because the British also import cane sugar in the southeastern province. I ate some rum, but the amount was not large. After all, the mainland ate a lot of rum.

　　 And Yan Changwu really broke his heart to solve the problem of drinking water on the boat. He was reluctant to give his subordinates rum that could be exchanged for a lot of silver. He used another method.

　　 One is to use a cleaner water source as the water source for the ship. This method is not appropriate. At that time, the clean water could not be stored for too long.

　　 Second, he creatively used a water filter based on activated carbon!

　　 Activated carbon has a very powerful effect. It is used to filter water to support fleet voyages, and to turn brown sugar into white sugar when making sugar.

　　 Yan Changwu specially established an activated carbon factory to produce activated carbon by the physical steam method. The process is divided into two processes. The first step is carbonization. The raw materials are dried at high temperatures and 80% r organic tissue is carbonized. The second step is activation. The carbonized material that has been carbonized in the first step is fed into the reaction furnace to react with the activator and steam to complete the activation process to make a finished product.

In the process of endothermic reaction, CO and H2 combined gas is mainly produced, which is used to heat the carbonized material to an appropriate temperature (800 to 1000 degrees), remove all its decomposable substances, and produce a rich pore structure and a huge specific surface area. The activated carbon has a strong adsorption force. Activated carbon produced from different raw materials has different pore sizes. Among them, the pore size of coconut shell is the smallest, the pore size of wood-based activated carbon is generally larger, and the pore size of coal-based activated carbon is somewhere in between.

It mainly produces coconut shell and coal-based activated carbon. The production process is strictly confidential. Only finished products are available on the market. Where and how they are produced, it is impossible to detect the secrets even if the spies of various forces sharpen their heads. The Southeast government regime is a totalitarian regime, and the people were inspired and mobilized. Aunt Chaoyang, the police, and spies joined forces to defend themselves and protect their own technologies such as activated carbon production, sugar production, gelatin production and other technologies very well.

　　 Activated carbon water filter is a multi-layer water filter, divided into screens, cotton cloth, gravel and activated carbon, etc., which is known as filtered water that can be purified by sprinkling urine.

　　So, with this kind of water filter, the durability of the fleet can be increased a lot.

　　 In addition to the water filter used by the fleet, the troops sent out expeditions, exploration teams, expeditions, etc., all bring water filters to ensure that there is clean water to drink without heating.

　　 I have to say that drinking clean water is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. People in Southeast Prefecture rarely suffer from digestive diseases such as dysentery.

　　 The third method is to distill sea water!

The principle of the 　　 distillation method is very simple. It is to use coal to boil sea water, the fresh water evaporates into steam, the salt remains at the bottom of the pot, and the steam condenses into distilled water, which is fresh water.

This ancient seawater desalination method consumes a lot of energy and produces a lot of scale. It is difficult to produce a large amount of fresh water and cannot completely solve the problem of fresh water. It can only be said to increase the endurance of the fleet longer, that is, "treating the symptoms but not the root cause." .

There is a great danger of boiling water on wooden battleships. Ordinary battleships cannot do this. Only specially designed supply ships have a large metal base embedded in the hull. There are a large number of heat sinks on the side of the metal shell (this Technology is not difficult), and then set up a boiler to use coal as fuel to boil water, and the water vapor enters the porcelain condenser to form fresh water.

During the voyage, Yan Changwu ruthlessly asked them to train the guns and strictly trained them to operate the sails. Anyway, the officers and soldiers on the ship were turned around. He patrolled the battleships and required the battleships to be kept clean and tidy at all times. After the drill, once it is over, the deck must be wiped down to shine~www.wuxiaspot.com~All the copper parts must be shiny.

　　 It is required that the paint must be brushed cleanly, the sails must be stretched and stiff, the sails must be retracted at ninety degrees to the mast, there must be no debris on the mast, and the ropes must be neatly laid out, and so on.

　　 The speed of firing has been required to increase, and he exclaimed "faster, more accurate, and better!"

　　 Although the requirements are high, the officers and soldiers on the ship are still full of energy. They are exhausted, but the enthusiasm is not diminished. The main reason is the honor of being a member of the flagship, and there is a 10% salary increase!

　　 The military law is very clearly formulated. Any "unit" led by the warlord can be awarded the honorary title of "guard", and the salary of its members can be increased by 10%.

In addition, units that perform well, such as being brave in combat, can also be awarded the honorary title of "Guardian", and their members can increase their salary by 10% (not necessarily to be led by the Overseer"), and may add special signs, "Close" The title of "Guardian" can only be obtained in combat, which inspires officers and soldiers to fight hard.

　　 What he did was not picky, but a strategy!

　　 Must keep your subordinates busy, keep your army busy!

　　 Fuck them like a dead dog, harvested, they will have a strong physique with excellent quality, and first-class combat skills, form a conditioned reflex during the battle, without blinking their eyes, so the chance of victory will increase.

　　 Soldiers are endlessly busy, mentally and physically exhausted, and fall asleep as soon as they lie down in a hammock. They don't have any thoughts to think about other things, they are pure and good for everyone!

　　 No matter how strategically we must be busy, what to do this year and next year, such as occupying Taipei and landing the Marine Corps ashore. The fleet can't just be training. They support the Marine Corps. Once the Marine Corps gains a foothold, immediately set sail for the Ryukyu Islands!
