Zhu Zhanji looked at the map, then looked at the scale, and then was a little confused, "It's just this distance, we can hit it, but we can hit it. Is the logistics supply line too long?"

His concept has not changed yet.

In this regard, Zhu Zhanji, a young man, is actually not as good as Zhu Di.

Zhu Di smiled gently at his grandson, "Silly kid, if you want to go to the expedition, there should be no logistics line. You can use war to support the war. Just like going to the Golden Horde at dusk, destroying the army and gathering public opinion to win over the powerful gentry, and then using the powerful combat power of the steel fleet to establish a supply base along the coast, and the fleet continuously transports supplies and troops. But at the same time, when the fleet returns, it has to transport a large amount of resources, such as coal and steel, black oil, gold and silver, etc.."

Zhu Zhanji was dumbfounded, "How many steel warships do you need?"

Zhu Di thought for a while, "I think one hundred ships are not too much, but the meaning of dusk is that one hundred ships is far from enough. It is best to have hundreds of ships. His willingness is that our current steel warships are still too small, with a maximum displacement of only 2,500 tons. We need to continue to develop steel warships. The general warships have a displacement of about 5,000 tons, while the largest warships have a displacement of more than tens of thousands of tons!"

Zhu Zhanji felt like he was listening to a fantasy, "A warship of more than tens of thousands of tons?"

How big is this?

I'm afraid it's not a mobile base on the sea.

Zhu Di was also a little confused and said inconsistency: "That's what Xun said. I also think he is bragging about this. If we convert a lucky ship with a 200-material material, it will only have a displacement of about 150 tons and a warship of tens of thousands of tons. How huge is this?"

The key is how much steel does this require?

And what kind of steel can have such powerful performance to support such a huge structure?

Zhu Di really couldn't figure it out.

But he understood one thing very well, that is, Zheng He built a steel warship with a displacement of more than 1,000 tons, which can reach ten, two hundred, and five hundred, but its combat power is definitely not the same.

One is made of wood and the other is made of steel, with essential differences.

So Zhu Di said again: "We won't think about the warships of tens of thousands of tons, so we don't need to consider Zheng He's shipyard, but hundreds of steel warships are still very important. So Zhanji, next Ming Dynasty will increase the investment in the construction of official roads in the Indochina Peninsula, Mobei and Yili, because we need a massive amount of steel. What Dusk said makes sense. These things should be used abroad first. When the foreign ones are used up, there will be more in our country. At that time, neighboring countries do not have these resources, but our descendants have massive resources and can continue to maintain their resource advantages over them!"

Zhu Di settled the account.

According to the current territory of the Ming Dynasty, in the future, there will be about a dozen steel warships on the Korean Peninsula to ensure North Korea's loyalty to the Ming Dynasty and port security. Similarly, Japan needs twenty or thirty steel warships because it is farther away, forty or fifty steel warships are needed on the Indochina Peninsula and dozens of them are needed on the South China Sea. However, it seems a bit unreasonable to have no steel warships when expeditioning to the West.

At least dozens of ships must be kept in the local area, and support them at any time, right?

So hundreds of ships are completely necessary.

But Zhu Di also suspected that the Ming Dynasty really had this strength and raised hundreds of steel warships?

It will definitely be difficult to rely on the country.

So what Dusk said makes sense. For Japan, the Indochina Peninsula and the South and Western sides, resources should be plundered in the most extreme ways, so as to ensure that there are enough resources and economy to support such a huge fleet and army.

In other words, do your best to gain the wealth of the Gentiles to be powerful.

Just try to maintain the current prosperity in China.

In other words, it is the kind mentioned by Dusk that if the Ming Dynasty treasure banknote is promoted all over the world, it is to use the resources of the whole world to support the people and army of the Ming Dynasty.

If something goes wrong, the whole world will pay for the Ming Dynasty.

As for the people of the Ming Dynasty?

Nothing is wrong.

To achieve this, we must be militant. If we militantly, we need to plunder foreign resources. If we plunder foreign resources, we can allow the whole world to raise the Ming Dynasty, thus forming a cycle.

After saying this, Zhu Zhanji really doesn't know how to describe his psychological activities.

He was a little hard to understand.

But one thing is certain: with such a huge territory in the Ming Dynasty, it will be necessary to go to the West and the north of the desert in the future, so it is necessary to build more than 100 steel warships.

And don't worry about the country.

The Ming Dynasty had been in power for so many years, and it seemed that the lives of the people in China were still thriving.

The two grandparents and grandsons sat on the world map and talked for a long time.

Finally, Zhu Zhanji asked in confusion: "Grandpa, do you really believe that the world is just a ball, but why wouldn't the person living opposite us fall into the sky?"

Zhu Di laughed, "Is this a question? Grandpa doesn't know, but Xun said that a Hanlin editor named Niu Dun was studying this problem. Xun also said that if you want to enter a higher level prosperity in the Ming Dynasty, you need to strongly support the field Niu Dun's research. His original words are: Times Chemical Engineering and Niu Dun's research projects, and a Hanlin attendant named Wu Jing studied mathematics. Well, Xun said that the mathematics was too narrow and should be changed to mathematics."

A few days ago, I came to Qianqing Palace at dusk and talked with Zhu Di for almost an entire afternoon.

Only one thing was convinced by Zhu Di.

Grants!

Let the treasury allocate funds to Times Chemical, and at the same time to two people: Niu Dun and Wu Jing.

Two new departments need to be established.

One is the Institute of Physics and the other is the Institute of Mathematics.

Zhu Di was very confused.

So he didn't agree, but in the end, the evening said that if your majesty, if you don't allocate funds, then the empress will allocate funds to do this matter by himself, but these two men will be taken overseas.

Zhu Di thought it was wrong. It was obviously not a small matter to talk about this matter in the evening.

So I felt a pain.

No consent.

Instead, the Institute of Physics and Mathematics Research Institute were allocated, both of which belonged to the Imperial College - is it necessary to be the Imperial College responsible for its management. As for Times Chemical, Zhu Di did not move. After going to the New World at dusk, it would not be too late to allocate funds. Now let Times Group fill in Times Chemical, the gold-eating beast.

Zhu Di is not stupid.

Zhu Di's approach was a little unhappy in Dusk, so he tried to force Zhu Di to agree: if he waited for a year or two, when Dusk left the Ming Dynasty, the owners of the Institute of Physics and Mathematics Research Institute were willing to follow Dusk overseas, and Zhu Di needed to agree.

Zhu Di had no intention of deducting dusk in this regard.

And now he really wants to fully support Dusk in his overseas establishment, so he also agreed to this request.

So Zhu Di said earnestly: "Zhanji, what Dusk does will never be aimless, so I think this Institute of Physics and Mathematics will definitely be of great use in the future. Maybe it will become the pillar of the country like a steel warship. Therefore, I want to remind you that if you ascend the throne in the future, don't ignore these two departments. You must maintain continuous support for them and communicate with dusk overseas. If you can produce results, you will be the best. If you cannot produce results, don't stop easily. We will stop until we stop at dusk."

Zhu Di chose to trust Dusk.
