When I came here, I heard that the boss of the Fourth Shipyard committed suicide in despair. This was because he saw the future of the sea train and felt desperate. They knew clearly what the sea train could achieve. This was the crushing of the times.
But the boss of the Fourth Shipyard is looking too far ahead. The Sea Train has changed too many traditional enterprises, and the resistance involved is huge. It is impossible to affect the shipbuilding industry on a large scale. The adoption of advanced technology is subject to natural conditions, economic conditions, social conditions, technical foundations, etc. In the pirate world, it is also subject to restrictions from the world government.
Even so, the Sea Train is still one of the man-made miracles on this sea. Let the rails float on the sea, and the train moves forward like grabbing a rope. The friction between the rails can make sea kings feel uncomfortable and stay away. There is no need for permanent pointers, and there is no need to worry about the impact of waves. This perfect plan can actually change the entire pattern of the sea.
It's a pity that the world government doesn't want the pattern of the ocean to be changed, nor is it willing to invest so much money. Therefore, such a great invention only opened tracks near the Seven Water Capitals, which is a pity.
This technology is actually more suitable for the four seas, where the sea conditions are simpler and easier to build and maintain. The weather on the Grand Route is unpredictable, and there are only waves and storms near the Seven Waters City, so this sea train is suitable here, but it is not suitable for other sea areas.
If enough sea trains are built in the South China Sea with the Sobel Kingdom as the core, the entire sea can be connected in an instant. This is the best era for the people. Convenient travel, exchange of information and means of production, dissemination of knowledge, and economic growth can all bring a better life to the people of the South China Sea.
At the same time, it can also play the role of dividing the sea area, which not only facilitates the fight against pirates, but also has a qualitative leap in the transportation of troops and defense.
If it is equipped with the instant communication system and defense system that Noah is planning in the future, the entire South China Sea can be included in the jurisdiction from the sky, island chain, and seabed. A defense circle with no blind spots can be formed to prevent the world government from being outside the federation.
Therefore, Noah attaches great importance to the information of the Sea Train. At the same time, the information of the Sea Train should be very easy to obtain. Tom certainly doesn't mind his life's masterpiece to benefit more people.
If there are blueprints, it can be built. But if there is no chief designer Tom, the problems encountered during construction will waste too much manpower and material resources. The South China Sea can only prepare materials and island information first, and continue to secretly grasp more countries in the South China Sea, so that the plan can proceed smoothly.
It took Tom 3 years from the opening of the first sea train to the opening of the other 4. 4 years later, the World Government found a reason to execute him. The World Government would not let him go, and he knew it. Compared with how many people the sea train saved, the World Government was more concerned about the Pluto blueprint.
Noah never considered persuading Tom to escape from the beginning. Tom's current life goal is to complete the four sea train routes and save the Seven Water Cities, so he will not leave no matter who persuades him.
Watching Tom clang and knock out many small metal parts, I couldn't help but sigh that this 3-meter-tall horn fishman has really skillful hands. The hammer is not even as big as his hand, but it has a sense of being rough yet delicate.
It took a long time to finally come to an end. I looked back and saw Noah, Robin and the other two kids watching Franky's little invention.
"Hahahaha, it's Mr. Adam here. Is there any problem with the Voyager?"
As expected, the shipwright is most concerned about the ship.
"I've had some exciting trips recently, so I'd like you to check on the condition of the boat."
"Okay, let's do it now. It just so happens that the mission here is temporarily completed, hahahaha."
First, he used a crane and a hoisting machine to lift up the Voyager and inspected the bottom of the ship and the engine nozzle. Then he went inside the ship to observe it himself, with two assistants behind him to tinker with it bit by bit. It took several hours to complete the preliminary inspection.
"There is nothing wrong with the hull and keel. They are made of Adam, a precious tree, and are very strong. Some other small parts need to be replaced. There are slight shattering damages. This adventure trip is quite intense. The engine needs to be serviced. It can be seen that it has been running at full speed for a long time. The jet also needs maintenance. There are some granular residues inside that look like stones but also like marshmallows. It's very strange. Although it has no impact, it is still very annoying to have residues in the jet."
Looking at the residue Tom was holding, Noah thought for a moment that it should be the residue of the island cloud. So he said easily
"Oh, it's the remnants of the island cloud on Sky Island. It might have accidentally mixed into the jet nozzle."
"Sky Island~~~~~!"
Master Tom and his two disciples immediately performed the unique facial expressions of the pirate world, the kind with bulging eyeballs and tongues rolling like snakes, which was quite interesting.
Then the maintenance of the ship can be put aside for a while, and on the Voyager, Noah began to tell the story of the Sky Island. The sea of clouds 7000 meters above the sky, the gold of Gaya Island, the lights of Shandora, and the story of Rolando and Calgara.
"Super~~~What a touching story!" Little Franky was already in tears, and he picked up a little guitar from somewhere and started singing.
"I really want to go and listen to the Lights of Shandora~" Okay, Brother Iceberg is a bit literary.
Only Tom's expression looked a little strange. After he was moved to tears at the beginning, he felt a little uneasy.
"Mr. Adam, why did you tell us about these adventures? And in the experiences, your strength is also amazing."
"Hey, didn't I say that?"
"say what?"
After sensing that there were no CP5 members watching him, Noah took off his disguise.
"I'm so sorry I didn't tell you before, my real name is Noah, the enemy of the world."
Chapter 66 Purchasing Technology
Silence, the air on Voyager suddenly became stagnant.
"No... Noah." Iceberg repeated it a little stutteringly. There should be no one in the sea who doesn't know this name. The bounty of 50 billion berries is for the most evil criminal in the holy land of Marijoa.
"super...cool~" The ending sound of this idiom is a bit weak, the future General Franky.
Tom is more normal since he has seen the world.
"Excuse me, Mr. Noah, what can I do for you?"
Tom knew that anyone who could attack the holy land of Marijoa and come back alive must be a ruthless person. But he was not overly wary of Noah. After all, Noah and his men attacked Marijoa to liberate slaves, and many of these slaves were from his own tribe.
Although many of the leaflets scattered in the Sabaody Archipelago were confiscated, they were circulated very quickly in private. The more you are not allowed to see something, the more you want to see it, right?
But he had been in contact with them as the writer Adam before, and now he suddenly revealed his true identity, which was a bit scary. Revealing his true identity must mean that there was something dangerous that he needed to discuss with him.
This made Tom curious. Although he was in trouble now, the sea train was about to open, and his wish was about to be fulfilled. He didn't care whether he would fall into a bigger crisis. With the vigilance of a man like Noah, revealing his true face here would definitely ensure safety. Speaking of danger, what could be more deadly than the Pluto blueprint?
If Noah knew what Tom was thinking, he would definitely tell Tom that he had too little experience. There are too many things more dangerous than the Pluto blueprint.
"Mr. Tom, I have a general understanding of the plan for the Sea Train. I think this plan is indeed the most successful invention to change the ocean. It would be a pity to only build it near the Seven Water Capital. So I would like to discuss the purchase of technology with you."
"Do you also need this technology? This technology requires strong financial support, and the technical personnel you...?"
Tom really didn't care about the technology itself, but he was not optimistic about the construction plan of the sea train. In Tom's opinion, Noah and his team might be okay at fighting, but they were not good at development and construction, especially a large project like the sea train. It required the cooperation of the islands, a lot of materials, money, workers, and designers.
It's not just Tom who discriminates against the Revolutionary Army, but most people on the sea think so. This force did appear relatively late on the sea. If it weren't for the Marijoa incident, many people would not know that there is such a group of people preparing to overthrow the World Government.
Information dissemination on the sea is relatively lagging, and there are few channels for dissemination. Most ordinary people on the four seas don't even know what the Celestial Dragons are. To them, the Celestial Dragons are the same as the nobles in the small town, and they are all people who can decide their life and death at will.
The outside world's current impression of the Revolutionary Army is that they are very brave, reckless, desperate, and inexplicable. Yes, in the eyes of the big powers, those who go to fight against the World Government in order to liberate slaves are all crazy and incomprehensible.
If you say that such a force wants to engage in construction and production, people will not believe it. At present, it has a good reputation, but its credibility is still not good enough. This publicity channel must be built up as soon as possible in the next two years to achieve a good reputation.
"Yes, we think that the sea train has more development potential in the world and can effectively improve people's living standards. Our financial strength is very strong, and ordinary workers are also developing. And we will not start work immediately after obtaining the technology. We have to wait until everything is fully prepared before we can start. I don't know what Mr. Tom thinks."
"In that case, you can make a copy of the blueprint for the sea train, but don't mention buying it. I admire what you have done, and I am grateful that you have saved my people."
"That's not necessary. We still trust Mr. Tom's character. Later on, we will purchase the technology from you in an official name. All you have to do is agree."
Tom looked deeply at the extremely evil criminal opposite him. It was unexpected that he would do it in the name of the official. Then the Pluto blueprint should be hidden deeper. For the big forces, the power of Pluto would be something they dreamed of.
After talking about the sea train, Noah returned to his Adam identity and said that he could just call him Adam now. The atmosphere eased. But it was impossible to return to the state of chatting and laughing at the beginning, and Noah understood that.
Revealing one's true identity is only the first step. Passing on fire cannot be done so quickly. One has to wait until the other party slowly understands what "fire" represents before discussing it in detail.
Tom still has 4 years to complete the events, so there is still a lot of time in between. If it really doesn't work, let's have a battle on Judicial Island in 4 years. If Luffy can beat him, why can't I, Noah, beat him?
Tom got up and went to repair the ship. Iceberg and Frankie wanted to go with him. After all, the two young people were a little powerless in the face of Mr. 50 Billion. But...
"We all call people who break the rules and laws of the ninja world trash. ...But people who don't know how to value their companions are the worst kind of trash!"
"Oh~~~~super cool!!!"
Franky was already excited, and Iceberg's face turned red. This man was so handsome.
The charm of the eye legend is irresistible to the two teenagers. Mr. Adam, who can tell such a passionate story, must not be a bad person.
Mr. Tom, who had returned from repairs, was speechless when he saw his two disciples talking and laughing with Noah again, but he was not angry. Men on the sea all have their own paths to take, and others have no right to stifle their dreams.
At this time, the iceberg asked Noah a question.
"Mr. Adam, why don't you serialize such a good story in the newspaper?"
Noah was speechless. In fact, until Naruto Shippuden, this legend of the eyes was still very interesting, without exaggerating the theories of bloodline and background.
Sasuke is just a tsundere boy with hatred on his shoulders, and Naruto is still a hot-blooded fool. Friendship, family affection, and ignorant love are all so beautiful. The sacrifice of comrades and the will of fire do not have so many conspiracy theories, and the tears are basically shed in the first half.
But then the story takes a sudden turn, the protagonist's background is repeatedly elevated, and his bloodline is traced back to the Six Paths Sage. The concept in this book is no longer worth promoting, and it is completely a family game. This is completely contrary to the concept that Noah wants to promote on the sea. People who have read this book will only feel that hard-working geniuses are only short-lived, and those who break the shackles of the family will die early.
It’s better not to take out things like this that pollute the ocean.
"Because I haven't thought of the follow-up content for this story yet, how about I, Iceberg, continue writing this story later?"
"Yeah hahaha, Mr. Adam, Bingshan is my most proud disciple. There is no way I would write a story with you."
Tom saw that Noah was actually poaching people, so he quickly interrupted. Didn't you see that Bingshan was already imagining himself becoming a great writer?
Fortunately, Franky delivered a critical hit and a few taunts, which broke Iceberg out of his fantasy and started a fight.
"Mr. Adam, there is nothing wrong with your boat. You can go sailing on the sea anytime."
"Well, okay. We are going to the Future Kingdom next. If there is any good shipbuilding technology, I will bring it to you. Thank you for your maintenance of the Traveler."
This... Let's not talk about anything else, the shipbuilding technology really hit Tom's soft spot. He is not a traditional shipbuilder, he is also very knowledgeable about technology. The sea train technology and the Pluto technology in his hand are all high-tech products. I have heard of the future kingdom of Balkimoa, and the technology there is worth looking forward to.
I hesitated for several times to say no, but never said it.
"Ahem, Mr. Adam, I think your engine technology can be improved a little bit. I'll go and debug it.
Well, Tom the Sea is really good.
Chapter 67 Unlimited Energy Plan
The next day, Noah and Robin set off in the Voyager, preparing to head to the Winter Island area in the first half of the park, where Balkimoa was their destination.
After spending 1509 years on the sea, it was the year 1510 of the Sea Circle Calendar. Nothing major happened in the original time and space this year, but after Noah officially stepped onto the world stage, the future had been changed.
As a soul traveler, Noah will never forget that science and technology are the primary productive forces. He is full of expectations for this trip to the future kingdom.
There are three extremely powerful scientists in the Future Kingdom.
One is Vegapunk, the world's number one scientist who has been ahead of the world for 500 years. He developed a life design when he was young, so he was considered extremely dangerous by the World Government, so he was taken to the Navy Headquarters to continue scientific research. The main research results are life giantization, artificial devil fruits, devil fruit fusion objects, mass-produced pacifists, seastone coating on the bottom of warships, etc.
The second one is Franky from the future. He is talented and after two years of further study in Vegapunk’s laboratory, he has improved his mechanical transformation technology to the limit.
The third one is very low-key, and is the scientist Noah is going to visit this time, Dr. Tsukimi. Dr. Tsukimi is a mysterious doctor who only appears on the cover page. He has the research and development ability to create extremely intelligent robots. He has been living in Balkimoa and probably has a lot of exchanges with Vegapunk. He is definitely a top figure in the scientific research community.
With scientists, many of his plans can become reality. In a world with strange things like devil fruits, the upper limit and speed of scientific development will be unprecedentedly high, after all, there is such an easy way to reverse technology through fruits.
Scientific research in this world has always been limited to a small number of forces, so there are too few scientists living outside. Dr. Yuejian's wisdom cannot be buried in drinking tea and watching the moon on Winter Island.
Half a month later, we finally arrived. The dock of the Future Kingdom was very deserted, without a single ship. The wooden planks on the dock had become tattered. It seemed that there were no ordinary people here anymore.
It is said that because Winter Island was too cold before and not suitable for living, Vegapunk built an ecosystem for the entire island to change the temperature of Winter Island, but it was not completed due to lack of financial support. This idea was too advanced and more of an experimental study, and there was nothing to recommend in actual operation.
There are many modified beasts left in Balkimore now. They are all products of scientific research. It is really dangerous, and the residents have to move away.
Along the way, apart from abandoned laboratories, there were attacks by modified beasts. Is this the reason why the navy no longer pays attention to this island?
There was a small black dot walking towards Noah in front. There was no sign of life in his observation. It was... a group of mechanical men.
"Outsider, explain your purpose."
The man wearing a helmet, with a round face, a moustache and holding a rifle, is that Lieutenant Spacey?
"Noah, I'm here to visit Dr. Yuejian. I want to consult you on some scientific research issues."
"Hold on."
Then the robot stopped moving. Maybe it was reporting the situation to Dr. Yuejian remotely, via radio?
"Come with me"
The squeaking sound of footsteps led Noah and the others towards the depths of the laboratory complex. On the thick snowy winter island, these mechanical figures seemed to have a very hard time walking. In some places, only their heads were exposed, which looked a bit ugly and cute, which somewhat suited Robin's aesthetic taste.
After walking for 10 minutes, I arrived at a relatively intact laboratory. The door opened automatically and the temperature inside was really warm. I took off my heavy coat and after turning left and right, I arrived at a tea room.
The tea room is very technological, and is combined with a moon-viewing viewing platform, where you can enjoy the moon while drinking tea. A robot in samurai armor came in and served two cups of tea and a dessert before leaving.
"brush"
The door of the tea room opened, and a shriveled old man with a long face and an even longer chin walked in with a teacup in his hand, smiling.
"Hahahaha, I didn't expect that Balkimoa, where no one has come for so many years, would have a big shot come today."
"Hello, Dr. Yuejian, I am not a big shot. Balkimoa is the technological pearl of the ocean. Only those who leave here are big shots, the kind who can change the world."
"Are you talking about the kid from Vegapunk? That kid was indeed born for scientific research. In the beginning, he was a pure scientist and wanted to improve the environment of Winter Island, but later he stopped because of lack of financial support. Unfortunately, he later joined MADS and embarked on the path of researching lethal weapons."
Judging from Dr. Tsukimi's tone, it seems that he has something to do with Vegapunk.
"You and..."
“There’s nothing to hide. I once taught him some basic knowledge, so we discussed many of his research issues.
I am really old now, let’s not talk about this anymore, what do you want to talk to me about?"
"Well, I've seen a weapon fused with a fruit in the World Government before, so I want to ask why the devil fruit fusion technology has been mature, but it has not been promoted."
"Because this kind of weapon is meaningless, the most important thing about the fruit is its development and awakening, and objects cannot be deeply developed like humans, so we gave up."
"That's right, Doctor. I still have some questions. It's about the fusion of devil fruits and objects. I see that there are precedents of objects eating devil fruits occasionally in history, but it was only after they were researched in modern times that such weapons became more common. So why are all the fruits eaten animal-type?"
