Fortunately, the Xinghai Country Immigration Working Group did a good job. Before the people completely broke out, they announced the free fields that the immigrants should receive, the quota for purchasing fields, etc.
Although the credibility of the Xinghai people is not high, it is still much higher than the credibility of the Qing court.
Under such circumstances, the number of immigrants increased dramatically.
In the past two years, two million people immigrated to the territory of the Qing Dynasty, which greatly filled the population gap in Xinghai's overseas territories.
The Qing court was very satisfied with this.
The entire 10 million arms quota allowed them to purchase a large number of Star Navy firearms and form several new firearms armies.
Of course, the arms sold to them by Xinghai Kingdom basically follow the principle of high price and large generation difference.
The new army of Nanming all used the original Thunderbolt 1646 rifle, but the Qing court still exported the castrated version, with the price of each rifle being as high as 120 yuan.
The price of Napoleon's castrated artillery has risen to 10,000 yuan a piece.
However, the Qing court didn't care about this, but it was willing to buy and buy within the quota of 10 million yuan.
However, because ammunition is too expensive, the ten million quota was quickly consumed.
In addition, for the construction of the new army, it is naturally impossible for Xinghai Kingdom to send out a team of instructors to teach it like it did with Nanming and Jiaozhi.
Moreover, the Qing court was not at ease about handing over its direct armed forces to the Xinghai Kingdom for guidance.
Under such circumstances, neither party mentioned the matter.
Therefore, the new armies such as the Xiaoyong Camp, Wu Zhuang Camp, and Shenpao Camp established by the Qing government were all training methods devised by themselves.
Well, it was probably like looking through the Ming Dynasty's archives and taking out the Ming Dynasty's firearms camp training methods and using them directly.
It is said that when these new troops performed martial arts for His Majesty the Emperor, they also compiled various formations, which made His Majesty the Emperor very happy.
But what is the use of this formation?
Probably not even as good as a triple shot.
But as long as His Majesty the Emperor is happy, besides, the princes and nobles were also very happy when they saw it, thinking that this formation was in line with the momentum of the firearms camp.
Starting from the spring of 1656, good news came one after another for the Xinghai Kingdom.
First of all, the Suez Canal was finally successfully excavated after two years with the efforts of 200,000 workers and thousands of fuel-fired machinery.
The successful excavation of this canal, which is enough to carry giant ships of 10,000 tons, means that the forces of the Xinghai Kingdom have begun to reach the Imperial Sea and can easily deploy their military power to the areas along the Imperial Sea.
Of course, at this time, there was no reaction at all to the emergence of this artificial canal in Ouzhou country.
This is not surprising. For the maritime powers of this era, the area where the Canal was located was a desert and worthless.
Under such circumstances, even the most greedy colonists would not set their sights here.
Meizhou, Philippines and other places have a large number of undeveloped areas. These areas have fertile land and rich products, which are much better than deserts.
In Xinghai City, after crashing more than twenty prototypes in a few years, Fang Xiaoyue finally successfully developed a fuel jet and propeller aircraft.
But having said that, due to the immaturity of electronic control technology, fuel jets have only developed two templates: transport aircraft and bombers. As for propeller aircraft, fighter jets and attack aircraft have been developed.
No way, before electronic control technology matures, it is basically impossible to develop fighter jets with fuel jets. The attack aircraft series are too prone to accidents.
But with the emergence of transport aircraft, bombers, and attack aircraft, the military strength of the Star Sea Kingdom has once again leapt to a new level.
In the words of Sun Xuebin, we have created an era and will always be ahead of the world.
At this time, many elders asked to launch the aircraft carrier project, preparing to deploy an aircraft carrier in various regions in the future. Anyone who disobeyed would be directly bombarded.
However, this bill was directly rejected by Fang Xiaoyue when it was reviewed by the Senate.
Also the aircraft carrier project? Why don't you go to the moon?
Given the circumstances of this era, the development of fighter jets, attack aircraft, and bombers is already beyond the standard.
To put it bluntly, who do you think the fighter will fight?
None of the enemies have targets flying in the sky.
The actual effect of attack aircraft on ground targets is definitely not as good as ground artillery.
Bombers are easy to use, but they burn a lot of fuel.
In fact, in Fang Xiaoyue's view, these are just technical reserves.
It doesn't have much effect on the battlefield.
The current army and navy weapons of Xinghai Kingdom are enough to dominate the plane for two to three hundred years without any problem.
Of course, the rapid development of military technology will also drive the rapid development of civilian technology.
After all, the elders have been thinking about sightseeing at the pyramids in the morning and the beautiful life on the beach in Hawaii in the afternoon.
Therefore, after the fuel engine was initially adapted to jet aircraft, the research and development of civilian passenger aircraft was also in progress.
However, due to the high safety required by the elders, it will take time to decide when this civilian passenger aircraft can be developed.
But as the transport aircraft begins to be put into production, the deployment of Xinghai Kingdom's troops will be more than ten times faster than before.
If you don't care about the cost, it is easy and satisfying to deploy a regiment three to four thousand kilometers away in one day.
Compared with the research and development of ultra-era black technologies such as aircraft, what really boosted the national strength of the Xinghai Kingdom was the successful research and development of steel ships.
In fact, compared to things like aircraft, the research and development of steel ships is easier. After all, in addition to the materials in the library, the hundreds of steel ships stranded near the port are all excellent copying materials.
The difficulty in previous research and development was that heavy oil turbines were difficult to copy.
After all, that thing is too big. The heavy oil turbine of a 10,000-ton tanker is bigger than a house.
Even if the steel is not up to standard, this thing cannot be made.
Fang Xiaoyue spent more energy on alloys than all previous scientific research work.
Fortunately, his metallurgical skill is level 10, so his job of blending alloys is almost equivalent to hundreds of senior researchers.
The main reason why Xinghai Kingdom gave up on wooden ships and insisted on producing steel ships was that steel ships were more durable than wooden ships.
As long as regular maintenance is carried out and the quality is passed, it can last a long time.
For example, for a class of sea-going ships such as high-speed passenger ships, the mandatory scrapping age is 25 years.
Container ships, general cargo ships and other five types of sea-going ships must be scrapped if they are over 34 years old!
And many giant military ships, such as later aircraft carriers, have been in service for more than 45 years.
The overall structural strength of a wooden ship is not as strong as that of steel, so its service life will naturally be reduced a lot.
In fact, the service limit of wooden ships in this era is 20 years, and it is difficult for wooden warships to serve for 20 years, and many times they sink.
Even if it has been in service for 20 years, the wood on the wooden warship has basically been replaced at least once.
