One Piece: My Spirit

Sea train, although both Shire and Guina came here for this purpose, but the two essentially focus on different things, and the value they see is also different.

For Kuina, what she values ​​is the economic and political significance behind the sea train, which is the significance of connecting the various islands in the East China Sea!
Although Charles also had the same opinion, at this time he valued more the significance brought by the technology of the sea train itself.

That is the steam engine!

"Steam engine?"

Robin and Coral are a bit unfamiliar with this term, but Kuina and Kerla have been focusing on the sea train during this time, so they also know what a steam engine is, and it is the "heart" of the sea train!
But at the same time, it is also strange why Shire is so interested in the steam engine of the sea train.

Charles looked at the sea train from the perspective of his previous life, and found that one of the most valuable things in it was the steam engine!
Now sea trains, to put it bluntly, are steam trains, because One Piece’s world island land area is very limited, and there is basically no room for land steam trains, but if it is a steam train on the sea, it is different. Today’s sea trains are the best proof.

Of course, in addition to the steam train, there is another very important means of transportation that matches it, and that is the steam boat!

The common ships in the world of One Piece rely on natural factors such as sails or manpower for navigation. Even if there is an external power such as the navy, or the "Wind Cannon" like the Wanli Sunshine after Luffy, the main power mainly comes from the sails of natural factors.

Of course, Luo's submarine and the empress' perfume snake are another matter.

Therefore, if something like a steamship appears, it is estimated that it will cause a great impact!
The most intuitive effect of the steamship is to change the original power relying on natural wind into mechanical force relying on the "steam engine", so that even in the event of force majeure weather, the steamship will be far less affected than the sailboat.

The concept of Shire's "steam ship" seemed to be the first time for everyone present to hear it, but after hearing the advantages of the steam ship, everyone showed a look of surprise on their faces. Kuina, Robin and others knew that once the steam ship was in sight, it would mean changing the way of sailing in the whole world!
And there is another important feature of steamships. As long as the power provided is sufficient, larger ships can be built and more cargo can be loaded.

That is to say, freighters and even cruise ships can also be realized!
At this time, Robin finally understood what Shire said before, why the value behind the sea train has trans-epochal significance.

The blueprint of the steam engine drawn by Ciel surprised everyone. Although it is still in the conception stage, Guina and Kerla understand that what Ciel said is completely possible!

At least the steam engine is completely future proof!
Of course, this situation is not to say that One Piece's technology is so backward, but it shows the particularity of the great channel, or the concept of "abnormality" in this world.

In the world of One Piece, there are actually many products whose technological level is much higher than that of steam engines, such as robots, robot dogs, cyborgs, cameras and many other advanced technologies.

However, it has not developed into a high-tech world. On the contrary, some places have a much higher level of science and technology, while some places are too backward and superstitious. This is the difference in civilization between some islands in the Great Channel, and it can even be said to be a fault in civilization!

According to the words of Shire's previous life, in the great waterway, the technological level of some islands can be said to be as different as two or three centuries!

Whether it is an advanced technological invention or a backward invention, it can only be spread in a very small area, gradually forming a small circle of technological and cultural blockades one after another, which has caused the current state of science and technology in the world, and even many technological trees are crooked.

Perhaps it is also related to the type of engine used as a power source in this world. In fact, when Charles was in the East China Sea, he had noticed Smoker's motorcycle, which was obviously an internal combustion engine!There is also the original Ark Proverbs of Enilo using 'thunder', that is, electricity as power!
This shows that the level of scientific and technological development in this world is actually very high, but overall it is incoherent, and it is the existence of faults!

But Shire believes that there is another more important reason, and that is the existence of powers beyond normal human beings such as devil fruit, domineering, etc.!

Enemy of a hundred, enemy of a thousand, or even an enemy of ten thousand, such an exaggerated individual power did not exist in Shire's previous life.

Perhaps it is for this reason that people in this world are more willing to ponder and study the power of 'individuals', rather than the development route like the world where Shire lived in his previous life.

It's just like cultivating immortals and fantasy novels. They clearly have the power to blow the world apart with one punch, so why care about a mere steam engine? Isn't it good to study, delve into mental methods, and cheats?right!
Shire's application of the steam engine also kept Kuina and Kerla in their hearts, and Shire believed that Kuina would also understand her intention of telling this matter.

And Shire, who originally planned to go to the Carrera company, also dismissed this idea at this time, because he suddenly met Kuina in the capital of water. If Shire and Robin visit the iceberg again, it may cause trouble for Kuina for no reason.

Ciel knew that Khalifa, the secretary next to Bingshan, was an intelligence officer of CP9, and the other party should be no stranger to him and Robin. Ciel didn't want to cause trouble for Kuina because of his own problems.

However, about the sea train, there is another thing that Charles has kept secret and has not mentioned it to everyone, because in his opinion, it is not the right time. Compared with the "steam engine" of the sea train, Charles actually pays more attention to another thing, but it seems that he has not discovered much now.

If it is what Shire thinks, then this will have a subversive impact on the world!

In the city of water, in a tavern in the back street.

A square-faced barkeeper with hair like horns and a yellow polka-dot shirt is standing on the bar wiping the last glass of the evening.

Jingle!

A man wearing a hat and a black coat came in at the door of the bar. Bruno, who was lowering his head to wipe his wine glass, responded, "Sorry, guest, the bar is closed tonight, please be early tomorrow!"

Seeing that there was no answer, Bruno looked up at the man who came in, and the expression on his face didn't change much: "Oh, so it's Foreman Kaku? Sorry, the bar is closed today."

Kaku, who had a long square nose, sat on the bar and smiled, "Don't be so rigid! Just give me a glass of whiskey!"

At this time, apart from Bruno, who is the boss, Kaku was the only one left in the bar, and the other guests had already left.
