a scientific pirate

Chapter 202 Crazy Hints
No matter what industry you are in, as long as you are the top practitioner, you have a certain degree of confidence in your own standards. As for Espagu, before seeing Mo Fei's design drawings, he probably upheld It's a "I've built more ships than you've ever seen" attitude, and I don't think there's anything fancy about the Navy's new warships.

However, this new ship is really strange.

"Isn't the building material wood? Isn't it a sailing wooden hull?"

Well, this is his natural doubt.

First of all, it must be clear that in terms of wooden sailboat construction, the shipbuilding level of One Piece World is far higher than that of the earth, and it is also far above Mo Fei's common sense, because the wooden boats of One Piece World can be built very large It is not a problem at all that the first-class warships of the Navy Headquarters have a displacement of tens of thousands of tons, which is unimaginable on earth.

But wooden ships and ironclad ships are completely two concepts.

"It's an ironclad ship. The construction material is of course steel, and the core area is protected by surface-hardened steel armor." Mo Fei explained.

"Incredible design...the technological span is much more exaggerated than I thought."

After technical issues were involved, Espagu's attitude became extremely serious, and even though he had always been an extremely calm person, when he saw a ship with a new design that was to be built in a completely different way from the traditional When he was on the battleship, his eyes actually revealed a kind of unbearable excitement.

"The outline design, armament distribution and other aspects are the drafts given by me. Vegapunk, the great scientist of the world government, made the revisions, and all the rest of the detailed design was completed by Vegapunk." Mo Fei explained .

"Your Excellency, Major General, is that great scientist Vegapunk... no wonder."

To be honest, after the name Vegapunk appeared in Mo Fei's answer, Espagu became relieved, but this young man in front of him also participated in the design?Such doubts are suspected of looking down on people, so Espagu did not ask after all.

"With all due respect, the construction of this boat is probably more difficult than the major general imagined, because the Carrera company has always built boats with various types of wood. We have tried iron-clad boats, but they are all small boats the size of fishing boats. The key The problem is in terms of materials...we don’t have the capacity to produce large areas of qualified steel plates.”

"The steel for the construction of warships is provided by Balkimoa, the future country. The main guns and turrets of the warship are provided by a secret arsenal of the world government. The power system is provided by the Vega Punk Laboratory... of Seven Waters The capital here is only responsible for the manufacture of the hull and the installation of weapon modules."

Of course, Mo Fei and Vegapunk have made an overall plan for these problems. The construction of the new ship will not only be placed in the capital of seven waters, otherwise it will bring too high a cost to the shipyard here. Technical threshold.

"The first ship 'Queen of the North Sea' is a test ship. Due to the use of too many new technologies, various problems will definitely be encountered during the construction process. Frankly speaking, there are no places in the world where this kind of ship can be built. There is only the capital of seven waters."

Looking at Mo Fei's calm expression, for some reason, Espagu suddenly felt a sense of panic... The shipbuilding technology and ship design concept seemed to have undergone a leap in a place and at an unknown time that he didn't know.

In fact, although Mo Fei called this new ship a battleship, if it is divided by the earth's standards, it is actually a battlecruiser designed with the concept of "key protection"-that is, the size and firepower of a battleship, But lighter armor, faster speed.

Because the "Queen of the North Sea" does not need such a thick armor, there is no enemy ship in this world that can confront it. Its opponent is only a wooden ship, so the limited armor is the thickest armor.

After reading the sketch of the new ship and thinking about it carefully, Espagu said, "I need to read the design drawing of the new ship in detail before I can evaluate whether Carrera has built such a ship. Ability."

"Of course, but please hurry up. This is a test ship formulated by the Navy Headquarters and urged by the World Government." Mo Fei raised the flag without hesitation. The World Government has no time to manage a broken ship that is still in the blueprint stage.

Mo Fei was just putting pressure on the opponent.

As for the technical leakage caused by leaving the drawings to Carrera, Mo Fei is not worried at all. As long as Espagu has a little brains, it is impossible to build such a ship for pirates, because only the Seven Waters have Such constructability.

And if Espagu is not worried about taking responsibility, for forces other than the navy and pirates... well, that is, the Revolutionary Army, if they build such a warship for the Revolutionary Army, to be honest, Mo Fei would also be happy to see it It's done.

At the current stage, Mo Fei believes that Monkey D. Doragon can bring beneficial changes to the world, at least he is much stronger than Tianlongren.

"I see. I will give an answer tomorrow."

"very good."

Mo Fei glanced at Afriel, who immediately understood, she left here first, and after a while, she came here with the team of sailors and those blueprints.

The sailors put wooden boxes here one by one.

"Set up... design drawings, are these all?"

"Well, the design of the new warship is very complicated. I hope that the crew will not get lost in the cabin in the future... In this way, we will not bother Mr. Esbagu. I hope to get your reply tomorrow." Mo Fei stood Get up, ready to say goodbye and leave.

Looking at the piles of blueprints, Espagu felt that he was cheated... No, it was not a feeling, it was obvious that he was cheated, and he probably didn't need to sleep tonight.

And just before Mo Fei was about to walk out of the door, he stopped suddenly, then turned around and asked, "Mr. Espagu, did you know that there was someone like me in the navy?"

Espagu was having a headache from the huge amount of reading. He didn't know why Mo Fei would suddenly ask such a question, but he began to answer, "Of course, I often see reports about Major General Elidel in newspapers."

"Then do you know what kind of devil fruit ability user I am?"

Espagu froze for a moment, this time he hesitated a little, "I've heard related rumors."

Mo Fei nodded, and then said with a sigh of compassion, "I heard that the capital of the seven waters has been suffering from the 'Gods of Water' for more than a year..."

While sighing, Mo Fei stopped staying and left here without stopping.

Now Espagu was completely stunned. He is a very smart person, otherwise he would not be the actual controller of the capital of seven waters, so he immediately understood that the rear admiral came to the capital of seven waters. The main purpose of the capital is naturally to build ships, but the content that can be traded between the two parties is not limited to ship building. However, if there is the possibility of reaching other subsidiary transactions, it still depends on whether the shipbuilding transaction can be reached...

After leaving the headquarters of the Carrera company, Mo Fei ordered the sailors to return to the warship, and he and Afriel wandered around this prosperous city together.

Mo Fei rented a special vehicle "Bru", and then sat on it with Afriel and started wandering along the waterways of the "Capital of Seven Waters" extending in all directions.

During the period, they also tasted a local specialty called "Shui Shui Meat".

After getting tired from shopping, the two went to the viewing platform on the upper level of the "Seven Water Capital" to watch the sunset.

The sea breeze began to cool down, sporadic lights lit up in the city, and the sea surface in the distance began to dim, but the city in the evening entered the busiest time of the day.

The sun setting in the west, the quiet sea and the noisy city each have a unique temperament, and the mixed scenery is like a vivid oil painting.

After the sun sank halfway on the sea level, Afriel, who had been standing quietly by the side, suddenly asked, "Mo Fei, first gather acquaintances like us around, and then build a distant What do you want to do with a warship that is more powerful than the active warships?"

"Do what... guess what?"

"..."

Afriel decided not to guess.

"Well, maybe I just find these things interesting?"

Mo Fei added some nonsense, but after all, he didn't answer Afriel's question directly.

"We should go back to the warship."

The setting sun had already half-sinked to the sea level, and it was difficult for the two of them to continue wandering around the city at this time.

"Indeed, otherwise it's easy to be gossiped..."

With that said, Mo Fei stretched out a hand towards Afriel.

"What do you mean?"

"Of course, fly back, or should I change to the flying posture of a princess?"

"Not at all."

Well, Afriel chose to reach out.
