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

"Humph, red-haired boy, put away your arrogance, otherwise..."

On the deck, as the red-haired man walked along, those sons who were not very strong fell one by one.

Whitebeard was somewhat unhappy.

This kid is too good at pretending. He always does this every time he comes here!

It seems that one cannot start discussing things without shocking some people with his domineering aura.

His eyes narrowed slightly.

The same domineering color was released, and he directly fought back!

For a moment, the two terrifying auras intersected, and even the deck of the Moby Dick had some slight cracks.

You know, although this ship is not made of Adam's precious wood, the materials used are also extremely top-grade wood.

It is conceivable how fierce the confrontation between them was.

After more than ten seconds.

The two of them tacitly withdrew their domineering attitude.

"Tell me, why are you here with me?"

"About Blackbeard!"

"Humph, it's not your turn to intervene in my son's affairs!"

Whitebeard snorted coldly.

Of course, Shanks had already expected this attitude.

After all, he knew this old man too well.

"Whitebeard, I had no intention of discussing the matter with you regarding Blackbeard, but now that this matter has been exposed, everything is different now!"

"What do you think will happen when a guy who has been hiding under your nose for more than 20 years is suddenly exposed?"

"According to the information I received, he seems to be following Thatch to Fishman Island?"

"Thatch... is no match for Teach!!"

Shanks said meaningfully.

Whitebeard frowned deeply.

Although he hated to suspect his son without any hard evidence.

But I have to say that what Shanks said makes sense.

A guy who could leave three scars on his face and hide in his own white group for more than 20 years without being exposed.

Whether it's strength or strategy...

Sachi is definitely not his opponent.

But all this is just speculation.

As long as it is not confirmed one day, I should not doubt my lovely sons!

At this moment, Whitebeard suddenly saw Joz running to Marco in a panic, saying something.

Then Marco's expression suddenly changed.

"Joz, what happened?"

"Why are you so flustered?!"

Whitebeard shouted.

"Dad, Thatch... Something happened to Thatch!!"

------

These things.

And time, unknowingly, more than half a month has passed.

The Super Naval Academy was completed.

As for the island-class propulsion device, because the project is so large, even if the construction starts at the same time as the Super Naval Academy, it will still take more than 20 days to complete.

Other buildings completed at the same time included the Ship Design Bureau, a new villa area and five dormitory buildings.

The branch now has several thousand marines, scientific researchers, workers, etc.

Most of them have no houses to live in and have to build temporary tents.

One is a bit out of place, and the other is a makeshift tent that does not have the characteristics of a systematic building.

Plus, there will definitely be more and more people in the future.

Therefore, Luo Lan planned out a large area in the jungle specifically for building a residential area.

Anyway, those dormitory buildings are cheap and take a short time to build.

It doesn't take much time to build in large quantities.

Therefore, Luo Lan ordered the construction of twelve five-story Class C residential buildings and a villa complex for officers.

Construction is currently in full swing.

As residential buildings were completed one after another, a large number of people happily moved in with their bags.

In addition to construction, the recruitment of personnel.

It almost drained all of Luo Lan’s points.

The first is the Super Naval City. The few instructors the system sent at the beginning are not enough.

As a last resort, Luo Lan had to purchase another A-level instructor as the chief instructor, as well as hundreds of C-level instructors, and assign them to different subjects.

Originally, I wanted to use only B-rank instructors.

But hundreds of B-level instructors...

Can’t afford it!!

I have no choice but to use the C-class ones to hold the scene.

As for the Ship Design Bureau, it is also equipped with one A-level talent, plus 2 B-level and 20 D-level apprentices.

In short, after configuring these personnel and engraving the characteristics of so many buildings.

Luo Lan was really squeezed dry.

There were only more than 3000 points left on his body.

“Still poor!!!”

"It seems like it's time to get the 1 billion Baileys from Nami!!"

Luo Lan sighed and started thinking about Nami again.

------

【Ship Design Bureau】

[Grade: C]

[Architectural feature 1: Design ability +50%]

[Architectural Characteristics 2: Rigorousness +80%]

Both are aimed at designers.

Luo Lan was very satisfied with the effect.

And I am here today because Roy reported...

He has completed the design of the branch's first generation of warships.

In the director's office, in addition to Roy and Luo Lan, the shipyard foreman Kylo, ​​the director of the science department Silas, and Tina, who had just been appointed as deputy branch director by Luo Lan, were all gathered here.

"Colonel, the warship we designed this time is different from the previous ones. It is made entirely of steel and uses many new technologies provided by the Science Department."

"Including full power plant, weapon system, long-range reconnaissance system, etc."

As soon as Roy opened his mouth, the others said nothing.

But Tina was stunned.

"Wait, Chief Roy, you just said it's made entirely of steel?"

"Yes!"

Roy nodded in confirmation.

"But doesn't steel have the ability to stay on the water?"

Sure enough, this is a bit beyond the scope of the natives of the pirate world.

Luo Lan looked at Tina's face full of disbelief and smiled bitterly.

"Colonel, is the waterline of an empty ship the same as that of a fully loaded ship?"

"Of course it's different. If the ship is loaded with too much cargo, it will sink a lot on the sea!"

Tina answered directly.

I thought to myself, isn’t this common sense?

However, Roy smiled.

"Then, Colonel Tina, have you ever thought about this: if it is sinking, why does it stop after sinking to a certain level, instead of continuing to sink until it sinks?"

"This...Tina doesn't know!"

Almost everyone knows this phenomenon.

but...

But no one has ever thought about why.

"That's because the weight of the water displaced by the ship on the water surface is equal to the buoyancy it can generate. When the buoyancy is greater than the weight of the ship, then..."

"Even if this ship is made of steel, it can still float on the water!"

"Of course, a solid block of iron won't work, because the same volume of water is definitely not as heavy as a block of iron, so..."

Roy unfolded a design drawing as he explained.

"This is a brand new structure, which I call a hollow structure. With this structure, we can increase the total volume of the ship, thereby displacing more water in the water to generate greater buoyancy!"

Tina was confused.

He immediately interrupted Roy.

Otherwise, if I continue listening, my eyelids will droop.

"Okay, anyway, the point is, this steel battleship can indeed float on the water, right?"

"Yes, I am sure of that!"

Hearing this, Tina nodded and stopped dwelling on this issue.

And Roy continued to introduce.

"What we are going to talk about next is a new power system provided by the Science Department, called..."

"Coke Power System!"

Hearing this name, Luo Lan's mouth twitched violently.

Boy, you made this...

Does Franky know?
