The salted fish king of the pirate world

Chapter 84 Synthetic Hailou Stone
This experience on the empty island is very interesting, and all members of the Straw Hats are here.Enjoyed the long-lost leisure time without the navy chasing, and lived comfortably.

However, there is no permanent feast in the world, no matter how comfortable and easy life here is.Luffy and others are more eager for adventure and want to travel around the whole world.

And Sauron also got a piece of news that surprised him, that is, the owner of this empty island.It is the territory that I want to challenge, the world's number one swordsman, Li Laide.

As for Ai Nilu, he is just the deputy island owner, the younger brother who temporarily took over the territory of Sky Island for the hands-off shopkeeper Li Laide, and according to the residents of the island.

That island master Li is very strong, and Sauron can't hurt Enel in the slightest even with all his tricks.If he can't even pass a move under his hands, he will be pressed to the ground by the island owner and beaten violently.

In addition to this big gossip, Nami, who is good at stealth and eavesdropping in the Straw Hats, also heard two pieces of information in the daily chats of the residents.

That is, there are two secret bases on the island, one of which is a secret base.They knew before going to the island that it was the dock where the golden ark was built.

Since there are quite a few people on the island to build the ark, this matter is not secret at all, and it seems that they have no intention of hiding the plan to build the ark.

So after Lu Fei and others went to the island, they found out about the Ark after a little inquiring.Hearing that it was a ship made of gold, Nami's eyes sparkled.

Fortunately, when she got on Lu Fei's ship, she had already washed her hands.Otherwise, according to her habit a few years ago, she would take away a little gold no matter what she said.

However, the owner of the island, Li Guapi, didn't pay much attention to the gold, mainly because the gold reserves of the "Golden City" Shandora are really amazing.

Even if it took most of the gold and built an ark for Enilo.But there is still a lot of gold left, and the value of gold on Sky Island is actually quite low.

What's more, Nami is still Nuo Qigao's younger sister, in his territory.As a brother-in-law, Li Guapi would naturally not be too stingy and let her go home empty-handed.

So after giving some proper hints, everyone on the island took out some gold ornaments from their homes and made deals with the Straw Hats.

The clothes of the blue sea, the utensils of the blue sea, everything that exists in the blue sea but not in the empty island.Using the principle that things are rare and expensive, Nami got a lot of gold.

The other secret base is in the mountain camp.And when it comes to defensive guards, the number is far more than the people in the ark base.

Nami was curious, so she sneaked in there quietly.I saw a group of mountain people put the island cloud into a mechanical device for compression.

As the mountain people pressed the button on the machine, after the mechanical device made a "booming" noise, they refined some salt-like crystals.

Seeing that what was trained in that big machine turned out to be salt-like crystals, Nami immediately lost the desire to continue looking down and left quietly.

But what Nami didn't know was that these tiny transparent crystals like gravel that she didn't like today were much more valuable than gold.

Because of the names of these crystals, on the table of chemical elements.It is called "PYROBROIN" by scientists. Of course, people prefer to call this substance Hailoushi.

Hailou Stone is a rare mineral in One Piece. It is said that it is a strange stone that only exists in Wano Country, that piece of sea area.

It is equivalent to the crystallization of the sea, which can be said to be the solid state of the sea.Therefore, in addition to being afraid of sea water, devil fruit users are also afraid of Hailoushi.

It can be said that in this world where domineering is not very common, Hailoushi is the only weapon that does not require a strong man, even an ordinary person can fight against a capable person.

Therefore, in One Piece, there are often scenes in which cages or handcuffs made of sea stones are used to imprison capable people.

It is said that Hailou Stone can not only imprison capable people, but also has an unusually hard texture.It is said that it has a hardness comparable to that of diamonds, and it cannot be damaged by ordinary means.

Since Hailou Stone is a specialty of Wano Country, it is regarded as a precious strategic resource by the World Government.

So a pair of Hailoushi handcuffs is worth 1000 million Baileys on the black market.Although it is worth 1000 million Baileys, the number of Hailou Stones flowing out is too rare.

Under the premise that rare things are more expensive, the actual price at the auction is far more than this amount.It is normal to double or triple the price.

As for why the price of Hailou Stone is so expensive, apart from the special functions and abilities, as well as the reason of scarcity.

The more reason is that the quality of Hailou Stone is too hard.Therefore, the processing of Hailou stone is very difficult, and only craftsmen in Wano country can polish it.

Due to various reasons, there are very few handcuffs and weapons that can be made of Hailou Stone.For these reasons, Wano Country has monopolized this business.

And Li Guapi is a person who does not believe in evil, and as an ordinary fruit capable person, he has the same characteristics as Hailoushi.

So after pondering for a long time, he found that the cell structure in his body was extremely similar to that of Hailoushi.And this kind of cell structure is something that other ability users don't have.

So let's make a hypothesis and give an example.If it is this example, you may understand what I mean better:

Just like pencil leads and diamonds, graphite electrodes in dry batteries, and graphene materials, they are all composed of the same carbon element!

Although diamonds and pencil lead are both simple substances composed of carbon elements, they are arranged in different ways due to the atoms.Therefore, their properties are also very different.

In mineralogy, this is called "homogeneous and multi-image", that is, substances of the same chemical composition are under different physical and chemical conditions (temperature, pressure, medium, etc.).

The phenomenon of forming crystals of different structures, these crystals of different structures are called the homogeneous and polymorphic variants of the composition.

Diamond and graphite are two homogeneous polymorphic variants of carbon (C), which have completely different crystal structures.

Because the carbon atoms in diamonds are connected by covalent bonds to form a crystal structure of cubic square lattice;

Graphite, on the other hand, has a typical layered structure. Due to the different crystal structures between the two, the difference in hardness between the two is determined.

So when he found that his own cell structure was very similar to that of Hailoushi, Li Guapi made a bold experiment, which was to artificially synthesize Hailoushi.

Doesn't Hailoushi claim to be a solid sea?And since it is the sea, liquid seawater is naturally also possible.After all, it is the same kind of element, the thing that composes.

So use the ability of the gravity puzzle to pull up a ball composed of nearly a ton of seawater from the sea.Then Li Guapi started his first experiment.

Sure enough, he found something interesting in that ton of seawater, a thing called "PYROBROIN" by scientists.

And it is this thing called "PYROBROIN", which is the main component of Hailou Stone.It is precisely because of this thing that it is endowed with the function of subduing people with abilities.

Because Li Guapi analyzed the composition of Hailou Stone, the plan to synthesize Hailou Stone by artificial means is feasible.

After experimenting countless times, Li Guapi finally created a set of special techniques for refining "PYROBROIN" crystals to make sea floor stones.

On Earth, this method is called electrolysis.And the one that Nami saw was a machine that produced transparent salt-like crystals.

Known as an electrolytic cell (electrolytic cell), it is a device that converts electrical energy into chemical energy during electrolysis.Only with this machine can crystals be refined.

The principle of this method is also very simple, it is a method of redox reaction by injecting high-intensity direct current into seawater.

To perform this reaction, an electric current is passed through the substance causing a dramatic chemical change.In change, the process by which a substance loses or gains electrons (oxidation or reduction).

Although this method is very simple, because the technology tree of One Piece World is crooked, this method has not been discovered.

It's ironic to be honest, the world of One Piece clearly has sea trains, robots of the peace series, which surpass the products of black technology in previous lives.

However, the ships driven by the navy and pirates are actually powered by wind and manpower. Even the Wanli Sunshine uses Coke as an energy source.

So even if he became the Qiwuhai with a high vision, Li Guapi hadn't seen any technology and products related to electricity.

For many reasons, electricity, such a good energy resource, has been put on hold.But Li Guapi, who has been influenced by technology in his previous life, would not make such a mistake.

So after conquering Sky Island and subduing Enilo, Li Guapi spent a lot of time carefully studying the construction drawings of the Ark.

Coupled with some knowledge from his previous life, he figured out something by himself.For example, this machine that can electrolyze the "PYROBROIN" crystal was made by him.

Because of the Thunder Puzzle, Li Guapi's understanding of electricity has reached the level of a professor.

In the previous life, he felt sleepy after watching it, but he couldn't understand the physics knowledge points that he couldn't understand.He seemed to be enlightened, and he understood everything without a teacher.

What's more, the blueprint for casting the ark handed over by Enilo, some of the designs in it are too exquisite.It can be said that it is not a product that this world should have.

After mastering electricity, Li Guapi discovered the electrolyzer.In fact, it's pretty easy to make, and the materials are all ready-made.

Of course, this machine is easy to make, but it is easy to make.But not everyone can operate this machine.It is very demanding to operate this machine.

Because it takes a lot of energy to start this machine, coal, wind, and fire are not enough, and of course things like "Coke" are also not allowed.

Only electricity, a cheap and clean energy resource, has the ability to support this machine to start and work.

Therefore, except for people like Anilo and Li Guapi who can manipulate "over [-] million volts" of electricity, who can use this machine, no one else at sea can use this machine.

After the "PYROBROIN" crystal was refined, it was continuously purified, and this operation was repeated seven or eight times, and Hailou Stone was created.

In fact, the "PYROBROIN" crystals that were first refined with an electrolytic cell already possessed some of the characteristics of sea stones.

It's just because the purity of this crystal is not enough, and the hardness is not enough.Therefore, the suppression effect on the ability users is not so obvious, in order to be able to create better Hailoushi.

Therefore, the purification process is essential, if the purity of the initial "PYROBROIN" crystal is only [-]%.

Then the purification was carried out many times, and this operation was repeated.When the purity of the "PYROBROIN" crystal is increased to 90.00%, the sea floor stone will be made.

And because the "PYROBROIN" crystal is not hard enough during purification, if there is a mold at this time, it is possible to create 100% Hailoushi weapons.

That is also nicknamed by Fan Oka, no matter how powerful the craftsmen of Wano Country are.Maglan bullets that cannot be polished are made in this way.

(In the daily burial pit, Hailoushi weapons is a very profitable business. The protagonist does not want to let Wano just monopolize it, but also wants to participate.)——
At the same time, the Straw Hats had already disembarked from Sky Island.And on Long Chain Island, they played a game called "Davy Back Fight" with Silver Fox Foxy.

Then Luffy and others passed a certain island during the next voyage, and the Straw Hats and the others met the most powerful general of the Navy Headquarters, "Aokiji" Kuzan.

In the original book, Aokiji meets the Straw Hat Group in order to annihilate Robin who escaped from him.In order to protect Robin, Luffy and others fought with Aokiji.

The three main forces of the Straw Hats were defeated, and Robin was frozen.In order to protect his crew, Luffy proposed to fight Aokiji one-on-one.

Aokiji accepted and condensed Luffy in the battle, but he let Luffy go in the end, in order to compensate for their crusade against Sha Crocodile in the Alabasta incident.

However, due to the events in the Kingdom of Alabasta, it does not exist in this time and space.And there was no Robin on board, so Aokiji didn't fight Luffy.

And Aokiji is a lazy person, when he saw Lu Fei's face.He remembered the Wang Lufei who was able to draw with him a few years ago,

Although it was a small vest that Li Guapi pretended to be, but Kuzan didn't know it!He just felt that since he couldn't subdue "Wang Lufei" and his party, he simply didn't bother to do it.

So he was jealous, and he was a green pheasant with a salted fish attitude.Just leave some hints and warnings for Luffy and others, so that they will not be so arrogant.

After finishing some harsh words that made all the members of the Straw Hats inexplicable, he rode a bicycle leisurely and left here straight away.

Only Luffy and the others were left standing there with dazed faces, one by one you looked at me and I looked at you.Especially Luffy, who is stubborn, doesn't understand what Kuzan is talking about at all?
Maybe it's because everyone is ignorant!No one in the Straw Hats linked the uncle just now with the strongest combat force in the Navy Headquarters.

The content of this chapter is over——
Next, I will talk about why only the Wano country has such precious resources as sea stones.The main reason is still related to their unique geological structure.

First of all, Wano Country's policy is to close the country. It's not that they don't want to go out, and their sea area is too weird.

There are a lot of hidden reefs here, and ships are easy to touch the bottom when sailing, and the flow of the ocean current is very strange, making the sea area of ​​Wano country full of whirlpools.

After the Cake Island chapter, the Straw Hats entered Wano Country.If Luffy hadn't caught many koi, they might not have been able to go up that waterfall!
It was also at that waterfall that Kaido's pterosaur King Jin, the leader of the three disasters, kicked over Big Mom's entire ship.

Then in this waterfall at the same place, following the Pteranodon King, the phoenix Marco also kicked Big Mom's boat here once.

It was also because of this incident that Big Mom wanted to hire someone with the ability to fly with a lot of money.The kind that includes food and housing and even gives you a daughter-in-law, so that you can reach the pinnacle of life.

Speaking of this waterfall, it is amazing because of its unique geographical structure.Unexpectedly, even a strong man like the Four Emperors can be subdued without the slightest temper.

This is Wano Country's unique hidden reefs and currents, making it completely closed to the country.People outside can't get in, and people inside can't get out.

This unique vortex and reef, like a filter, can filter out the "PYROBROIN" crystals in the seawater.

Then these salt-like crystals continue to accumulate in places like Rabbit Well, and after a long period of time, they become Hailou Stone. Such a precious mineral resource.

Because of its unique geographical location, other islands cannot imitate it.Therefore, this place has become the only place in the sea where sea stone resources can be mined.

The island cloud on the empty island also contains this ingredient called PYROBROIN, which can emit the same energy as the sea.

At the same time, it has extremely high hardness, so it can block the ability of devil fruit users.So put the island cloud into the electrolytic cell, and it can be refined into crystals.

This horny particle was originally in seawater, but it was ejected into the sky with the volcanic eruption, and when it condensed with water vapor, two types of sky island clouds with different densities were formed.

Among them, the denser ones are called sea clouds, while the denser ones are called island clouds.

The people on the empty island are mining the island cloud, further compressing it, changing the density to make the artificial cloud, and processing the island cloud to make appliances, roads, houses, etc.

In order to keep the seawater gushing into the sky, there is a steady stream of PYROBROIN ingredients on the empty island.

So Li Guapi made a special trip to Gaya Island to use his fruit ability.The seabed and leylines of this sea area have been changed, and by the way, the timing of the volcanic eruption has been advanced.

Since the eruption cycle of the underground volcano has been changed, the eruption frequency of the rising ocean current has become higher.

Therefore, Gaya Island has also become a veritable devil's sea area. When some merchant ships sail into this sea area, they feel very worried.

So from a certain point of view, the scarcity of merchant ships made the prosperity of Magic Valley Town much lower.

Of course, the instigator of all this, Li Guapi, would not care the slightest bit.
