Pirates: From the Planet to the Starry Sky

Chapter 70 Mecha
"Here it is, a helicopter."

Looking at the model in front of him, Richie can say nothing but amazement.

"The name Helicopter sounds better than the spiral bird-shaped machine I named, and this will be called Helicopter from now on." Reis said in surprise.

"Where has Your Highness seen such a machine before?"

"No."

Rich quickly waved his hand, not to reveal his rebirth, and said.

"I just suddenly thought of this name."

"Ok."

Although he had doubts, Rice was immersed in his scientific research and didn't pay much attention to it.

"This helicopter was designed according to the dynamics of the Ark Proverb after Romolo and I studied the drawings of the Ark Proverb."

"The helicopter is only ten meters long and can carry five people and a small amount of cargo. The main power is the upper propeller, and the engine power is kerosene engine and electric motor.

After our tests, the power of the kerosene engine is stronger than that of the current motor, and the kerosene replenishment is also very convenient. The only downside is that it needs to operate under sufficient oxygen.

In places like Sky Island where the air is thin, kerosene engines are not very powerful.Therefore the helicopter factory that prepares to apply for to set up now is the engine of electric power.

When the helicopter is going up and down, there will be a wind shell at the bottom to cooperate and stabilize.And when the engine is accidentally damaged, the wind shell can be used to ensure the stable landing of the helicopter.

I still made some modifications to the helicopter, even if it falls into the water, it can be like a small boat and will not sink immediately. "

"So the helicopter has no weapons?"

Rich listened to Lace's introduction and asked.

"Weapon system, I'm designing."

Reis continued.

"Now it's a machine gun directly below."

With that said, Reis picked up the helicopter model and introduced it to Rich.

"A machine gun that fires at high speed is not good against strong men, but against ordinary soldiers, it is not a big problem to chase enemy ships on the sea.

We only have such weapons now, only one machine gun for the time being, which can be used for bombing in the future, and I plan to move your highness's radar to the helicopter.

But this is a big project, I can't spare a single research, I hope His Highness can assign me some talents. "

"The school is already established," Rich said. "Now it takes a while to train students. About five years later, the first batch of assistants will be assigned to you, so stick with it for a while."

"Okay." Knowing the situation in Rich's territory, Reis didn't make too many demands.

At this moment, Richie said to Hella.

"Hella, record it, and find the application for the construction of the helicopter factory after going back. The helicopter factory can be built, and apart from this one, a larger helicopter is needed, and the research institute needs to study supporting weapons."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Helicopters have been researched, and in this powerful world of One Piece, they are nothing, their speed is slow, and they are easy to become targets. On the battlefield, it is possible to be slashed by a flying slash suddenly.

However, that's not to say helicopters are useless.For example, at sea, raiding the enemy's rear with a squad of strong men.

Or chase, patrol, and emergency transportation tasks on the sea.

If there are powerful weapons and equipment in the future, it can also be used as a mobile firepower platform.

In a place with fine terrain like the empty island, the helicopter is very useful. For raids between islands, the helicopter can start at any time.

Although there are not many people, but a strong man is completely comparable to the combat effectiveness of a soldier squad.

"The third item."

Going forward, the third piece of equipment is also a model, but this time it is a robot.

But inside this robot, there is a villain. In Rich's view, this should be a mecha.

"Your Highness, this is a mecha generation war weapon developed by me." Reis introduced to Rich.

"The name of the mecha is because the mecha is composed of a mechanical exoskeleton armor as the overall structure, plus an electric motor as the reason for its operation.

Speaking of this, I have to say that the blueprint of the Ark Proverbs that His Highness brought out is really useful. Through research, my technology has been raised to another level. "

"This mech model, which I call the power generation, is now mainly responsible for transporting a large amount of materials, usually in factories, warehouses and other places."

As Lace said, Richie kept nodding.

"Because His Highness said before about the division of labor and cooperation, coupled with the assembly line model, I have established a large number of basic factories in Sky Island.

On top of these basic factories, various parts factories are built.Afterwards, various parts and components are assembled to build an assembly factory. In this way, what we need, we only need to build some parts factories and add an assembly factory, which is very trouble-free. "

"This is how the power mecha was built. Since it is not used for combat at the moment, the mecha surgery is made of light iron surgery, and the interior is a simplified mechanical exoskeleton structure. Only one cab is retained."

As he said that, Reis said with a trace of excitement on his face, and said with some joy.

"Due to the huge strength of the mechs and their tireless handling of materials, we have saved a lot of labor on our empty island, which is currently underpopulated.

Moreover, with these engineering mechs and a large number of basic factories, I am sure that the construction of the Ark Proverb will be shortened by two months. "

"Two months shorter."

Richie thought for a while and asked.

"In other words, it can be basically completed in the first few months of next year."

"It is expected to be so, and it is estimated that it will not be too bad."

"Very good." Richie had a satisfied smile on his face.

"In this way, when the first Ark Proverb is manufactured, then I can start the next step."

Then Richie asked.

"So about the combat model, do you have a design?"

"Not yet, but it's easy to transform this kind of mecha into a combat model. You only need to replace the civilian parts with military parts."

"Moreover, the tanks and armored vehicles envisaged by His Highness, as well as more powerful artillery, have all been researched, but I didn't develop them. Those first-generation products are in Romolo's factory."

"very good."

It is already very good to research and develop so many finished products after thoroughly understanding the drawings of the Ark Proverbs by one person. Now, it has only been more than a year.

"Then, I won't bother you anymore."

Ritchie said.

"Whatever application do you have next, just give it to me when the time comes. I'll go to Romolo, Nasri, and Carolina to have a look. Before the construction of the Ark Proverb is completed, your research is free."

"Okay, Your Highness."

Rice is also satisfied with Ricky's performance, and he can study at will with sufficient materials. Such conditions are rare in his hometown.

Not to mention, Rich still has some ancient technologies in his hands, such as the blueprint of the Ark Proverb this time, and various weird but achievable ideas.
