Arkham in the pirate world

After listening to the report from the city hall, Liszt expressed his affirmation of the work of various departments and provided encouragement and support. He hoped that everyone would take stability as the premise and adapt measures to local conditions to properly coordinate and plan various tasks in the villages and towns on each island.

The meeting also passed the Territory's "Supreme Law", confirming Lord Arkham List's ownership and right to rule the territory, clarifying the rights and obligations of the city hall and territorial residents, and promulgating the "Criminal Code" under the "Supreme Law" ", "Tax Law", "Education Law", "Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Law" and other relevant laws and regulations. There are not many regulations in each law, but there are basically laws to follow.

To be honest, for Liszt, nearly people were a matter that could be solved with domineering force.

The tax revenue they create in a year is less than that of one of its subsidiaries.

The reason why Liszt was so interested was because this land belonged to him and he could paint it and do some experiments and experiments.

Theory cannot be divorced from reality. It would be ridiculous to think that you can reach the top of the world just by relying on personal force or a team, not to mention that some people have already failed.

What about wealth alone?

No, in terms of wealth, who else in this world can compare to Gilder Tezzolo, who has the golden fruit?

In this world of powerful people, wealth is just numbers when it reaches a certain level.

The historical experience of another world tells Lister that if you want to change the world, you must shake the foundation of the world. This foundation is not the navy, not the pirates, not a certain kingdom, not a certain weapon, but every ordinary person.

Is this experience still applicable?

This piece of land is the basic soil for cultivation, a test field, and Liszt wants to see what kind of seeds can grow.

Doesn’t any force come into being from scratch?

No one can become fat overnight.

The revolutionary army had been planning for fifteen years, but it only started to explode last year, planning successive uprisings in the West China Sea and the South China Sea. Although the South China Sea was successful, it also faced counterattacks from the world government, and it was unclear whether it could hold on to the fruits of victory.

Shanks, after Roger's death, waited for eighteen years to become the Fourth Emperor.

Whitebeard, Kaido, and Charlotte Lingling, the Three Emperors of the New World, didn't they experience hibernation when they were young?

Only through the baptism of wind, rain and time can the most beautiful flowers bloom.

The spring breeze of February arrived as expected, and Liszt, who had been busy for half a year, was finally free.

A new year, a new atmosphere, and good luck seems to come with it.

Arkham Academy.

In the large warehouse next to the research institute, Liszt watched attentively next to a device similar to a steam boiler.

Albert, who was in charge of the Scientific Research Department, and two college teacher assistants he selected, put a crystal similar to an ice cube into a glass device filled with a special liquid next to the boiler, and heated the glass device.

A thick pipe extends from the glass device and penetrates into the bottom of the boiler. Unlike a coal-burning stove, this stove has been slightly modified to look more like a gas stove.

goo go go go...

As the solid ice crystals in the glass device are heated and their temperature rises, they begin to release gases, which emerge from the liquid and follow the thick tubes into the combustion furnace.

Professor Albert waited for a while before asking his assistant to light a piece of wood and put it into the furnace.

call!

The burner suddenly burst into sea-blue flames.

Seeing this scene, Liszt smiled broadly and took the lead in applauding, followed closely by Robin. The other professors who came to join in the fun also applauded.

The two assistants were very excited. Professor Albert's old face was rosy, but he still said calmly: "This set of equipment still needs improvement, and whether it can replace coal boilers on the sea train needs to be tested."

Lister smiled and said: "No, this is already a progress. In addition to coal, we have discovered a new energy source."

"This is Professor Mortensen's discovery!" Professor Albert said politely, not greedy for credit.

Professor Mortensen said humbly: "When I was measuring in Kesha Town, I saw this ice-like crystal and became curious. The local old man told me that this is a cursed stone that comes ashore with the tide and will be exposed in the sun. It burns when exposed to the sun and releases a flame like the ocean, so it is also called the wrath of the sea god. Out of interest, I brought two pieces back and shared my findings with everyone. Albert suddenly thought that it could replace Coal, as a source of energy for the sea train project, and research and experiments were conducted.”

Energy, yes!

It has been almost two years since Liszt got the technical information on steam engines and sea trains, but there has been no movement. It is not that he has forgotten, but that the East China Sea is now short of coal mines!

I want to go out in a hurry, step on the clutch, and run out of gas. Isn't it embarrassing?

If there are no coal mines, can trains be built and burned with firewood?

It is an island originally and lacks forest resources. After two trains, half of the trees on the island are gone. How can it withstand the fire?

Therefore, Liszt's idea of ​​the steam power era was aborted before it even took the first step.

Unless you can find a large coal mine in the East China Sea, but this thing is buried underground. Where can it be so easy to find? Just think about how many ancestors had to sleep in the open in search of minerals and oil. This cannot be done with just a few words.

And, who should I ask to find it? Professor Mortensen?

Well, Lister asked, and Professor Mortensen's answer was: "Coal needs to be explored? Isn't that the excrement of a mysterious giant beast? Is it the coal island near the Seven Islands of Water? I heard that it is piled up Like a mountain of dung. Isn’t it dung? The herdsmen on Changlian Island often use dried animal dung as firewood!”

Well, don't ask why a scholar would say such a thing. Anyone facing a field that they have never understood is basically in the hearsay stage.

In fact, the use of coal as energy began with sea trains.

This can be seen from the fact that the name of the currently operating sea train "Smoking Tom" highlights the word "smoking".

It is precisely because of its novelty that it attracts attention.

As for hauling coal back to the East China Sea from the Grand Line, come on, the freight price is worth the train fare for a month.

Just when Lister was about to give up his plan for the steam power era, the institute gave him a surprise.

He picked up an "ice crystal" as big as a football from the shade. It was not as heavy as he thought. Lister suspected that it was flammable ice, but it could remain solid at room temperature. Its solid state ignition point was the same as that of pure alcohol, which was 75c. It was flammable ice. properties that do not exist.

"Its solid state combustion is quite rapid, like a furious tsunami. When placed in a combustion furnace, the power released instantly will cause an explosion."

Professor Albert explained: "I did many experiments and accidentally discovered that heating it in sea water will release gas. That gas can also burn, but it is gentler than solids, such as a calm sea surface. So I improved the boiler equipment.”
