Zhu Shengkai chose again and again, but he still felt that the place where the 10,000 Ming people landed was not bad.
It wasn't too far from New Capital and Los Angeles.
It was located between Los Angeles and Santa Barbara.
Santa Barbara was located north of Los Angeles and west of Xindu.
It was also on the coastline of the West Coast.
It was a small town.
After Zhu Shengkai chose the location, he personally led his men and set off.
To materialize the shipyard.
The fully automated shipyard rewarded by the system took up quite a large area. It was three kilometers long along the coastline and about one kilometer deep into the coast.
It was able to build 20 large ships at the same time.
When they reached the coast, it was the "miracle" that Zhu Shengkai had shown when he first arrived.
However, Zhu Shengkai brought the Ming army.
Most of them were from the system, so it did not cause too much of a stir among the soldiers.
Instead, they thought that it was only natural for His Majesty to have a "miracle".
When the shipyard was completely unfolded in front of Zhu Shengkai, Zhu Shengkai sighed at how magnificent the building was.
The first thing that was laid out on the three-kilometer coastline was the foundation.
This happened almost instantly. A huge amount of light fell from the sky, as if it was a model built by light rays.
The foundation went deep underground and then extended above the sea.
After extending hundreds of meters above the sea, twenty " docks " appeared on the shore.
Finally, there was the building on the shore.
Large automated machinery appeared in the shipyard.
It was dazzling.
The entire process took half an hour.
Finally, it landed on the top of the building on the shore. At the same time, a part of the top of the building extended out and covered the sea.
This was the end.
After the shipyard was materialized, about a hundred Han people in blue uniforms walked out.
When the leader saw Zhu Shengkai, he bowed and said,""Your humble subject Sun Qian greets Your Majesty!"
"No need for formalities!"
Zhu Shengkai was very happy.
Obviously, every building in the system would have a corresponding number of talents.
As expected, the system's products were definitely of the best quality. It also saved him the trouble of cultivating them from scratch.
However, it was rare to get lucky draws, and it was even rarer to get lucky draws for buildings.
If they relied solely on the talents produced by the system architecture, then Da Ming's development would have to wait for a long time. Therefore, Zhu Shengkai was also nurturing other related talents.
"Sun Qing, if you want to build a steam-powered ship, for example, an ironclad ship covered with iron plates on a wooden ship, about several thousand tons, how long will it take?”
Zhu Shengkai thought for a moment and made an analogy.
The warship that Zhu Shengkai was talking about was one that was currently being developed, built, or used by most countries.
It had not even been popularized on a large scale.
"Your Majesty, if we go all out to build one, we have enough manpower in the shipyard. We can build one in about two months.”
"However, if you want to fill up every space in the shipyard and build twenty ships, then please forgive me for being powerless because there are too few people.”
Hearing Sun Qian's answer, Zhu Shengkai nodded slightly.
He sighed slightly. There was still not enough manpower.
"Sun Qing, just say it. How many people do you need?”
Zhu Shengkai asked again.
Sun Qian thought for a moment and said,""If Your Majesty sends 1,000 people to me, I will open a school here at the shipyard and assign 100 people to train them. In the future, when we build ships, one boatman will lead ten new workers, and at the same time, the old will lead the new.”
Zhu Shengkai nodded slightly and said,""If that's the case, I'll assign the best talents in the new capital to you.”
"The navy will be the most important thing in the future of Great Ming!”
"I must pay special attention to it."
"This humble subject is grateful for Your Majesty's trust!"
Sun Qian immediately bowed to Zhu Shengkai.
"Oh right, Sun Qing, do you need me to draw the power from the power plant in Xindu?”
Zhu Shengkai asked again.
"There's no need for that, Your Majesty. Part of the shipyard is a power plant, and the internal power is enough to supply the entire power plant.”
Sun Qian replied.
Zhu Shengkai heaved a sigh of relief.
That was good.
Other than the automatic water power generation system rewarded by the system, there was no other power generation capacity in Daming New City.
And in this era, in this world, besides Da Ming, there was no place that knew how to use electricity!
Now, in 1712, although the history and development of other countries in the world were more than 100 years ahead of schedule, even so, Eden was only 13 years old and Tesla was only four years old.
After materializing the shipyard, Zhu Shengkai quickly selected a thousand people from the new capital and moved to the shipyard.
Another 2,000 people were allocated to build some houses around the shipyard for living.
At the same time, Zhu Shengkai wanted to dispatch a group of soldiers to guard the shipyard.
Right now, the entire Ming army only had four flag squads.
In addition to Zhu Shengkai's two imperial guards.
The Ming army had a total of 1,262 people.
However, the shipyard was the most important thing. Zhu Shengkai sent two flag teams over.
A total of 574 people.
It was already nearly half of the current Great Ming Army.
In addition to the 100 soldiers in Los Angeles, there were nearly 600 soldiers left in Xindu.
However, it was still fine because Da Ming did not have any enemies now.
Due to the purchase of various raw materials, the Munitions Factory had been in operation.
At present, they had already manufactured Li Consortium rifles and the corresponding ammunition that could be used by 10,000 people.
There was no lack of weapons and equipment.
Zhu Shengkai wanted to expand the army, but unfortunately, the population was not enough.
In the new capital, the shipyard was under construction and needed workers.
As for the new capital, the construction around the shipyard was heavy.
Zhu Shengkai only trusted Han and Yin people.
The dozen or so steel technicians hired before were white, and they were hired because they had no choice.
Currently, the population produced by the system also had relevant talents.
Therefore, Zhu Shengkai decided to wait until these Han talents had undergone relevant training and had the ability.
He transferred more than a dozen white men from the Xindu Steel Plant away.
Nominally, they would be promoted, given a raise, and then transferred to Los Angeles to open a new steel plant to sell steel.
At least, in the current Xindu, only Han and Yin people could appear.
"Chen Qing, zhen is waiting for you to return from Qing.”
Zhu Shengkai pondered in his heart. Then, he opened the system technology tree.
He checked if there were any useful shipbuilding blueprints in the technology tree that did not require a lot of cultural points.
