Arkham in the pirate world

The day when the "Princess Olvia" was launched was chosen on Robin's birthday.

The night before, Cocosia City, a manor in an orange grove.

The 22-year-old Nuo Qigao, who has slightly curly shawl hair, puts a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice on the table.

"Here, please use"

"Thank you"

The girl with beautiful orange hair smiled.

Nuo Qigao sat down, looked at the grown-up Nami with a smile, and said, "Is your return this time related to the launch of Princess Olvia?"

"It seems that they want me to join the Naval Staff and serve on the Princess Olvia," Nami said.

After graduating from Arkham University, Nami was sent to "Visalia", known as the Sky Island, to study meteorology because of her outstanding ability in navigation.

This island, whose residents are all meteorologists, is a mecca for meteorologists.

There, Nami came into contact with systematic and complete meteorology.

"I am back"

Karina, who was wearing formal attire, walked into the house. When she saw Nami, she rushed towards her with a smile, gave her a big hug and said, "Oh, Nami."

After playing around for a while, the three women sat together, just like every other time.

"Being the king's secretary must be very tiring," Nami asked curiously.

Karina said: "Fortunately, as long as you don't make mistakes, it's not too difficult. It's just that I rarely have private time, but there's nothing I can do about it. Everyone is busy and there are always things that can't be finished. No. I’m here, and you, how are you studying?”

"No problem, I am now the best meteorologist in Visalia and have obtained a Ph.D. qualification."

Nami smiled and asked: "Where is Nokigao?"

"I'm a middle school teacher now," Nuoqi said.

The three of them are all students who have signed an agreement with the Arkham Group, and young people like them who were trained by Arkham University are gradually becoming the mainstay of the entire emerging kingdom.

Liszt spent ten years establishing a talent training system while recruiting external talents.

It seems very cost-effective, it takes too long, and it is far less quick and convenient than directly looking for those ready-made talents.

However, external talents are always just hired, and their loyalty cannot stand the test. Moreover, some talents require special training and cannot be found easily.

With the establishment of the country, the education system, medical and health system, industrial system, etc. that Liszt worked hard to build became particularly important.

These are the strong foundations of a country and are delivering fresh blood to the vigorous vitality of the Arkham Kingdom.

Without these foundations, even if List established a country, it would only be a bad country.

January 2024, 2 in the Circular Calendar.

Liszt and Robin attended the launching ceremony of the "Princess Olvia" together with their children in their arms.

The island where the Dauntless Shipyard is located is similar to the Seven Waters Capital, which arose because of the shipbuilding industry.

Of course, there are huge crowds of people.

Invited representatives from various countries and forces, as well as the kingdom's senior officials, as well as the audience who heard the news, gathered at the dock specially built for the construction of the "Princess Olvia".

The huge battleship floats on the water, towering like a mountain. It has no masts, instead it has a bridge stacked like a tower, and a 165-meter-long airstrip.

Yes

This is a steam-powered aircraft carrier that uses part of the firepower system of the ancient weapon Pluto and some alien black technology. It is equipped with 3 formations, each formation has 12 aircraft.

The Kingdom of Arkham will build a new naval fleet composed entirely of steam-powered ships around the "Princess Olvia".

The ribbon-cutting ceremony of the launching ceremony was held on the spacious deck of the "Princess Olvia". Lister is currently the captain of the "Princess Olvia" in name only, because a brand-new ship means brand-new tactics. As well as a completely new personnel mix, these all require a running-in period. Moreover, currently, there is no more suitable commander in the kingdom, so Liszt will take over the role first.

Pluto never appeared because it was also undergoing modifications.

Pluto possesses an "air cannon" firepower system that is quite sci-fi even now. It uses a special device to greatly compress the absorbed wind and then releases it. The power is extremely terrifying. On board the "Sonny" of the Straw Hat Pirates , applied such black technology.

However, the essence of Pluto is still a sailing ship. Although its speed is not slow, reaching about nine knots, it is just not in line with the development of the times. Its power system needs to be reshaped.

These contents, obviously belonging to the kingdom’s national secrets, including the parameters of the “Princess Olvia”, have not been released to the public.

The "Princess Olvia" has been under construction since the construction of the aviation base on the sky island. Therefore, even if Pluto is not included, it will not affect its appearance. In order to equip it with enough outstanding crew members, in the Kingdom When the Navy was still the Coast Guard Self-Defense Force, it established a maritime academy in a low-key manner, nominally to train outstanding sailors for shipping companies. Now, these trainees have all put on the uniforms of the Royal Navy.

A brand new battleship, people will definitely be curious about its power, but during the launching ceremony, the "Princess Olvia" did not show its deterrent power in terms of artillery fire. Even attentive viewers discovered that on this ship, Except for the two exaggerated cannons on the front side of the bridge, it seems that no other artillery pieces have been installed.

"Apart from being big and fast, I don't seem to see any other advantages. Is it necessary to rely on ships to crash each other?" Some old people who have studied ships more thoroughly are puzzled.

Kuzan was also puzzled. Such a ship was like a living target on the sea.

After Kuzan was invited by Liszt, he decided to come to the East China Sea to have a look in person before making a decision. However, before he entered the East China Sea, he was discovered by the people from the Arkham Kingdom. However, those guys did not bother him and just gave him An invitation letter is today’s “launching ceremony.”

After Liszt dealt with the less important guests, he came to meet Kuzan. Facing Kuzan's doubts, Liszt just smiled and said: "We haven't installed the weapons yet. Osborne Company has been working on this ship for a long time." , researching new artillery, what we pursue is not only bigger and faster, but also farther.”

"Further away" Kuzan's mind moved. As a naval admiral, he knew a lot about warships. He thought of the battle on Shengting Island. Facing the "Proverb" which was farther away, the navy had nothing to do.

However, the situation on Shengting Island is quite special. It was an air-to-sea attack, but it was put into a sea-to-sea confrontation.

Liszt smiled and said: "With the new warships and the new tactical system, from now on, there will not be face-to-face attacks on the sea, let alone boarding battles, but longer-distance and more powerful artillery attacks."
