Chapter 282 Two Years Passed in a Flash
Battleships, the jewel in the crown of industry, are also a collection of human industrial achievements.
The shock and impact that the giant ships and cannons brought to mankind were undoubtedly enormous.
U.S. President Dennis Bradley and members of Congress from both factions came to the port of New York to see the Yujing, a pinnacle of human history.
Previously, through some data and photos, they only knew that this battleship was larger than their largest Colorado-class battleship in service and the new battleship that was being designed and built.
But they don't have an intuitive idea of how much bigger it should be.
It was not until now, when I stood below it and looked up, that I felt the majestic aura of this giant ship.
Anyone who sees it will be shocked by it, without exception.
President Dennis Bradley, sitting in a wheelchair, looked at the shocked expressions of the senators behind him and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
He knew that the effect he wanted had been achieved, and the budget for the new battleships might be approved soon.
And the fact was just as he thought.
When the Navy proposed the need to build two battleships of more than 70,000 tons, the House of Representatives passed the budget with a high vote.
"We can't be worse than the Orientals. We can also make what the Orientals have."
This is what many people think.
Some people even think that the navy's design is a bit conservative. Can't they just build 100,000-ton battleships to surpass the East?
The navy wanted to, but with their current capabilities, they really couldn't build a 100,000-ton battleship.
At least it cannot be done in a short period of time.
If the time is delayed too long and the order is cancelled, they will have no place to cry.
Therefore, the Navy thinks that they should not be too greedy and that 80,000 tons is enough.
This is also the requirement put forward by the Navy when bidding.
The full load displacement is over 8 tons, the speed is over 28 knots, and the main guns are 12 460mm naval guns.....
Basically, these are the design standards proposed for the Yujing battleship.
After leaving New Newark, the Eastern Fleet did not go directly to the Strait, but began to move south, visiting the countries of the Southern Continent one by one.
The New World is divided into Northland and Southland.
The United States is the overlord of the entire New World, and the South is their back garden and their traditional colony.
The Eastern Fleet's visit to these South Asian countries is not intended to poach their supporters.
Even if it is, not now.
Because the ancient countries today do not have this ability.
It's just a simple way to make your presence felt.
Show your face in advance so that it will be easier to contact you later.
Of course, this is just one of their tasks.
When the Eastern Fleet sailed to the waters near the Bolivarian Republic of South Africa, a sub-base was sent out.
The sub-base vehicle slowly drove towards the coast of the Bolivarian Republic.
This sub-base vehicle is exactly the No. 2 sub-base vehicle.
In Jiang Hua's plan, the main base is located in Shangjing in the north.
Branch Base No. 1 is located in Tianfu Province, southwest of the ancient country.
This is also one of the places where war is most likely to break out in the future.
The traffic conditions in this direction are not very good, so a branch base is needed to serve as a logistics support base.
The original No. 2 branch base was deployed in the Bolivarian Republic as a resource base.
Of course, the resource base division is only temporary.
Once the ancient country grows up, this branch base deployed in the New World will come in handy.
Just like the No. 3 branch base deployed in the Dutch colony in Southeast Asia.
However, judging from the situation at the No. 3 branch base, it may take less than a few years for the effect to be realized.
When Jiang Hua was making global plans, he naturally would not forget Fuso, who was right next to him.
Soldiers of the Goryeo Freedom Army are still training in Andong Province.
After the time is ripe, it will be time to deal with the Fuso people.
The Eastern Fleet began to travel around the world, and the ancient country's industrial and economic development also got on track and embarked on a path of rapid development.
Two years passed in a flash and it was already 36 years.
In the past two years, the whole world seems to have fallen into silence because of the ancient country's low-key attitude.
Only Jiang Hua knew that the world situation was turbulent and not as calm as it seemed on the surface.
The apparent calm is simply because all countries are quietly developing and accumulating strength.
During the past two years, all aspects of the ancient country have developed extremely rapidly.
The government has chosen not to release a lot of data.
Otherwise, once these data are released, they will probably cause an uproar in the world.
With the most important agricultural development, the ancient country has basically achieved self-sufficiency in the field of food, and the problem of people's hunger has been basically solved.
The economy and people's livelihood affected by the war have fully recovered.
According to statistics from 35 years, the total cultivated land area in the country is about 17 billion mu, the effective irrigation area is 7.9 million mu, and the average yield per mu is 200 kilograms.
The total grain output for the whole year was 3400 billion kilograms, or 3.4 million tons.
The weather controller also played a big role in this, ensuring good weather and good harvests across the country to a certain extent, and preventing major climate-related disasters.
It is precisely because of this that we can have such a great harvest.
Compared to the early 30s, grain production has more than doubled.
The increase in effective irrigation area, the popularization of cheap fertilizers, the popularization of high-quality rice varieties, and the peaceful environment make it normal to achieve this seemingly outrageous yield.
According to population statistics, the current population of the ancient country is around 4.7 million.
The average per capita weight reached 723 kilograms, or 1446 pounds.
According to a large amount of statistical data, the average person consumes about 700 kilograms of food each year to maintain a state of food and clothing.
Even if we add another 100 kilograms to this number, we can calculate it based on the per capita consumption of 800 kilograms.
Even if agricultural tax still has to be paid, the national average is around 15.5% if calculated proportionally.
That is to say, out of the 1446 kilograms of grain, 224 kilograms of grain still need to be paid.
In total, the average amount of grain held per person is 1221 kilograms.
It is far beyond the per capita subsistence line of 700 kilograms.
Therefore, the development of agriculture can be said to be extremely rapid.
Three years ago, people in many places could not get enough to eat. But in just two or three years, they had no problem eating three meals a day.
Of course, the word "per capita" is very meaningful, but it does not mean that the problem of food and clothing in all regions has been really solved.
The problem of people in many remote areas not having enough food has not yet been solved.
Jiang Hua was aware of this situation.
Therefore, the next step is to continue to increase food production and arable land area while solving the problem of people in remote areas still not having enough food to eat.
According to the agricultural department's plan, they will completely solve this problem within five years.
Farmers in the ancient country no longer have to worry about having enough food to eat.
Compared with the ancient country with good weather and abundant harvests, the situation of another island country is a bit bad.
Throughout the year, there are either severe droughts or severe floods, and various natural disasters occur frequently.
Millions of people die of starvation every year.
In terms of transportation, great progress has been made in recent years.
The total mileage of highways has increased from 13 kilometers to 18 kilometers today.
The highway connecting the two border provinces is still under construction.
In terms of railways, 17 new railways were built and 19 railways were restored. In two years, a total of 1.7 kilometers of railway trunk lines, double-track lines and branch lines were newly built and repaired.
The total railway mileage in China has reached 3.2 kilometers.
According to the plan of the railway department, the ancient country will add at least 5000 kilometers of railways every year in the future, and about kilometers of railways will be added within five years.
That is to say, in five years, the ancient country's railway and highway mileage will double.
If the road mileage can reach 6 kilometers, basically all provinces can be connected by rail.
In terms of space transportation, the ancient country has not made much progress so far.
This is mainly because the aviation industry has only been in operation for less than two years.
However, the first phase of the outbreak only occurred this year.
The aviation industry is still in the accumulation stage, while other fields are beginning to experience concentrated explosive growth.
Two areas are most obvious.
One is the steel industry and the other is the energy industry.
The ancient country's industrial development required a huge amount of steel, and this demand increased with development.
Railway construction, shipbuilding, military industry, local infrastructure...
Almost every industry requires steel.
So in 34 years, the ancient government began to deploy.
After two years of construction, steel production has reached a level that can meet the development needs of the ancient country.
By the 36th year, annual steel production is expected to be around 1800 million tons.
In 34, the ancient country's annual steel production was only 600 million tons.
In three years, the output has tripled from 600 million tons to 1800 million tons. (Including this year, it is three years.)
Basically, the output increases by 600 million tons per year.
This annual output has already ranked the ancient country second in the world.
The third country in the world is the Hans country which is beginning to explode.
According to statistics from the intelligence department, Hans' annual steel production in 35 years is expected to be around 1200 million tons, and is expected to increase by about 100 million tons this year.
In terms of steel production, the ancient country has begun to leave other countries behind and started to challenge the number one ranked United States.
Although the annual steel production growth rate of the United States has been far lower than that of the ancient country in the past two years, it will take several years to catch up with them.
The explosive growth of steel production capacity in the ancient country was largely due to the popularization of converter steelmaking technology.
However, the consumption of electric energy is also huge.
In 34 years, the annual power generation is 246 billion kWh.
Last year, the total power generation reached 500 billion kWh.
The Red Alert base no longer needs to supply power to the ancient country's power grid.
In the two fields of steel and power generation, the ancient country has basically gotten rid of its dependence on the Red Alert base.
From these two areas, we can see how rapidly the ancient country has developed in the past two years and how rapidly it has developed.
