Pirates: After being exiled by the Warring States Period, I started building a city

All the way back to King's Landing.

Franky is like a curious baby.

As long as they catch a crew member, they will ask him all kinds of questions.

I am curious about everything.

After all, Tana's interior is too advanced.

Not to mention Franky, even Junlin himself cannot build a ship of Tana's technological level.

At this moment, he no longer had any resistance to going to King's Landing, and even had a tendency to regard King's Landing as a holy place.

At the same time, at the Navy Headquarters.

High-rise conference room.

"Borsalino, what is the current progress of the steel warship project?"

After seeing everyone gathered, Zhan Guo asked.

After all, Kizaru is the supreme commander of the scientific force, and this time, Kizaru is naturally responsible for the coordination between the headquarters and Vegapunk for the steel battleship project.

"Speaking of which, even Vegapunk was amazed by those warships. King's Landing is truly terrifying!"

"Be more serious!"

Zhan Guo was very upset.

I asked you to come here to report, not to tremble in fear at your performance.

Also, can’t your voice change?

Every time I listen to you talk in a meeting, it's very hard just to resist hitting you, okay?

"Well, Vegapunk said that the technical aspect is not very difficult, he has almost mastered it, but the craftsmanship..."

"There is no way around this. Some things cannot be achieved simply by understanding them. They take time to resolve."

"For example, if you were thrown back into primitive society and given only a stone axe and asked to make a rifle, even if you knew all the knowledge to make a rifle, could you really make it?"

“And this is the situation we are facing now!”

“We can master the technology, but we can’t produce finished products in such a short time!”

"The above are Vegapunk's original words!"

Kizaru was serious for once.

Said very seriously.

"That's it..."

"Then can you lower the performance a bit and make a low-profile version first?"

Zhan Guo asked somewhat unwillingly.

For example, the main gun range does not need to be 12 nautical miles, only 3 nautical miles is enough.

For example, the speed does not need to be 30 knots, it can be discounted to 15 knots, right?

Even though the performance has been reduced to this extent, it is still a groundbreaking technological change for the world of pirates.

So, lower the requirements first and prepare a batch.

Then spend time to study it in depth and master the so-called craft bit by bit.

"Hey, Marshal, how do you know that Vegapunk thinks this way?"

At this moment, Kizaru suddenly spoke.

Zhan Guo was so angry.

Since Vegapunk said so, why didn't you say it at the beginning and keep it a secret?

He glared at Kizaru fiercely.

"According to Vegapunk, it is impossible to produce a warship with the same performance as the King's Landing, but..."

"Don't give me buts. Just tell me, what can Vegapunk do?"

Before Kizaru could finish, Sengoku interrupted him.

"All right!"

"According to Vegapunk, he has completely mastered the technology of the new type of naval gun that Junlin calls a cannon. However, due to the limitations of the craftsmanship, the range will not exceed three nautical miles, and the barrel life can only reach about 300 rounds!"

"Of course, there is a way to solve the problem of the barrel's lifespan. We just need to use seastone to make it, but the price..."

Kizaru didn't say anything else.

But everyone present understood it immediately.

Seastone can be regarded as one of the hardest metals in the pirate world, and Vegapunk has also mastered its processing methods.

Just like Smoker's weapon, the Ten Tricks, which is made of seastone.

Of course, if the gun barrel is made of seastone, then it will definitely be no problem to fire not only 300 rounds, but even 3 rounds.

But the problem is...

The barrel of a battleship's main gun, even if it is only the less than 200 mm caliber on those four battleships, weighs nearly ten tons.

This is just a gun barrel.

A double-mounted main gun requires twenty tons of seastone.

Are you serious?

If this is the case, all the Tianlong people will go bankrupt...

Therefore, this plan will definitely not work.

"300 rounds..."

"Just think of it as a temporary transition!"

"Borsalino, go on!"

Zhan Guo smiled bitterly and shook his head.

The gun barrel needs to be replaced after every 300 rounds, which will obviously greatly increase the operating cost of the warship.

But as a temporary transition, he could accept it.

"Okay, then let me talk about the power issue."

Kizaru shrugged and spread his hands.

If you think it's okay, then it's okay.

I have no objection!

"The King's Landing warship uses a brand-new power system that uses Coke as fuel. Yes, it is the favorite of the naval grassroots soldiers, Coke!!"

As he said this, Kizaru even made a very exaggerated expression.

This almost made Zhan Guo unable to hold back, so he went up and gave him a big slap.

Fortunately, over the years, he has developed resistance to Kizaru and has endured it all.

"Like naval guns, Vegapunk has mastered the technology and can successfully manufacture them, but he can't do it to the level of King's Landing!"

"The main reason is that the core of this power device is very precise, and with our current technology level, we are unable to perform such precise processing."

Kizaru recounted everything that Vegapunk had told him.

But what he didn't know was...

In fact, the cola-powered device that Vegapunk can make now is even better than the one made by Franky in the original work.

However, it is still far inferior to King's Landing, which can push a 30-ton steel battleship at a speed of knots.

As for the reason, it’s actually the same as what Vegapunk said.

In terms of precision, even the precision that can be achieved in the Vegapunk laboratory is hundreds of times worse than that achieved in the factories in King's Landing.

Yes, it is not an exaggeration at all, the accuracy difference is hundreds of times.

Therefore, even with the same design and the same materials, the performance of the coke power device made by Vegapunk is definitely much worse than that of King's Landing.

"Borsalino, just tell me, how many knots can the ship run at with the power device made by Vegapunk?"

"It was supposed to be able to reach a maximum speed of 15-18 knots."

"15-18 knots, so fast?"

Warring States period was delighted.

This is better than I expected.

But soon, he reacted.

Wait, originally?

"Borsalino, what does it mean originally?"

"Literally, because of the thing at the bottom of the ship, which Junlin called a propeller..."

"What happened to that thing?"

"We are also unable to achieve the level of King's Landing. Although that thing looks simple, according to Vegapunk, it is no less difficult than naval guns and power plants."

"So, how fast can it be?"

"The cruising speed is 10 knots, and the maximum speed can only reach 12 knots!"

Warring States was stunned.

Is this propeller so important?

This seemingly simple thing can directly increase the speed from 15 to 18 knots...

Did it last until 10-12 periods?
