From Pirates to Sweeping the Worlds

The researchers at the institute were ecstatic to obtain some of the lunar technology. They immediately allocated personnel to study lunar technology.

There were so many people interested in lunar technology that Xia Jieren had to expand the institute again.

Today, the number of people engaged in scientific research in the [Kingdom of the Netherlands] has exceeded one million, and the research funding has exceeded 300 billion dragon yuan, or approximately 4 trillion berries.

With such a large investment, the results achieved are very significant.

[The Kingdom of the Netherlands] has passed the "Steam Age" and entered the "Electric Age".

Various electrical appliances have entered thousands of households, and the "Sea Train" that crisscrossed the "Kingdom of the Netherlands" has now been replaced by trams.

People's lives have become extremely rich and convenient.

[Kingdom of the Netherlands] There is peace in the country and the people live and work in peace and contentment.

In contrast, outside the Kingdom of the Netherlands, the chaos has not yet ended.

After the unremitting efforts of the navy, the situation on the sea has gradually stabilized, but from time to time, news of pirates causing chaos can still be heard. This is the norm in the world of pirates and is not surprising.

While the [Kingdom of the Netherlands] was working hard on its internal strength, it was also making steady progress in the [South China Sea].

By the second half of 1517 in the Haiyuan calendar, nearly one-sixth of the South China Sea was occupied by the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

The pirates who dreamed of traveling to the Grand Line had to pay a huge toll to the Kingdom of the Netherlands, which of course caused dissatisfaction among the unruly pirates.

So, under the instigation of the pirates, a war broke out between the [Kingdom of the Netherlands] and them.

The result is obvious, the [Kingdom of the Netherlands] completely crushed all the pirates.

The pirates of the South China Sea suffered a heavy blow. From then on, the pirates of the South China Sea dared not to provoke the Kingdom of the Netherlands again.

However, this victory did not stop the expansion of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. They used advanced technology and powerful military force to continue to advance into the depths of the South China Sea.

At the same time, the [World Government] drew forces from other waters to help the [South China Sea] countries, either openly or secretly.

It can be predicted that this will be another battle between dragons and tigers.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it is the year 1518 in the Haiyuan calendar.

After several months of huge resource investment, the technology left behind by the moon people was almost completely analyzed.

Today, the Kingdom of the Netherlands is fully capable of creating robots comparable to the "Pacifist".

So, with Xia Jieren's order, the [Kingdom of the Netherlands] started to manufacture all kinds of robots at full capacity.

Household robots, service robots, industrial robots, medical robots, combat robots...

It has to be said that compared with the weird-looking Zerg units, robots are more in line with the public's aesthetic taste.

The robot received widespread acclaim as soon as it was launched.

Seeing this situation, Xia Jieren also gradually reduced the service-type Zerg units.

From now on, robots will be responsible for handling matters related to ordinary people's lives, while the Zerg will be mainly responsible for fighting.

The gradually expanding number of robots in the [Kingdom of the Netherlands] cannot be hidden from the eyes of anyone interested.

After receiving this news, the Five Elder Stars looked very unhappy.

[Kingdom of the Netherlands] They can figure out the source of technology even with their knees.

"Damn it! There are remnants of Moon People's technology in the ocean!"

"It seems we were too lax!"

"The sea is filthy and needs to be cleaned again!"

"The Kingdom of the Netherlands is doomed to fail. No matter how unwilling we are, it is useless. Our top priority now is to use all means to curb the development speed of the Kingdom of the Netherlands."

"That's right!"

"Don't forget, there is also the Revolutionary Army. That guy Long is trying to undermine our foundation. We can't let them succeed."

"Of course!"

"Send more forces to suppress the [Revolutionary Army] as quickly as possible."

"feasible!"

"Seconded!"

"..."

Shortly after the meeting of the Five Elders, several elite teams left Marijoa and attacked the Revolutionary Army's stronghold that had been discovered long ago.

Countless people and forces involved with the Revolutionary Army were brutally purged. The World Government gradually lost its patience and used much more brutal methods.

Xia Jieren was delighted to hear this and ordered people to collect the information and send it to the World Economic News Agency.

As negative information about the [World Government] continues to be exposed, people are becoming increasingly disappointed with the [World Government].

Faced with overwhelming evidence, the World Government's explanation pales in comparison.

While the [World Government] was busy and overwhelmed, a piece of news spread throughout [Paradise].

The sky island above the Paradise is officially open to the public.

Anyone can take an airboat to travel to the sky island at Gaya Island.

In order to attract more tourists, Xia Jieren also had people release the news that the "Golden Country" really exists.

As expected, once the news spread, countless pirates, explorers, and adventurers flocked to the place.

【Gaya Island】 has become extremely prosperous after being managed by 【Umbrella Group】. Stores are lined up on both sides of the street, and the streets are crowded with people. The island has all kinds of entertainment facilities.

This made those who had been to Gaya Island before dumbfounded! They suddenly felt an indescribable feeling of great changes.

There are three flags hanging at the port of Gaya Island. They are the pirate flag of the Sun Pirates, the logo of the Umbrella Group, and the national flag of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. They move with the wind and flutter in the wind.

Everyone who saw them looked more serious. Those who had ulterior motives immediately gave up their thoughts.

The [World Government] is very dissatisfied with the [Netherlands Kingdom]'s open entry into its backyard, and it also has many opinions about the [Umbrella Group] and the [Sun Pirates], and has never stopped trying to trip them up in secret.

At this time, in an open space near the port of [Gaya Island], six spacious airships were like six giant beasts, quietly parked there, as if they were sleeping. Each airship had the powerful ability to carry 120 people.

There was a lot of noise around, and people were watching the huge airship and expressing their feelings.

Under the watchful eyes of the public, the first group of passengers began their two-day and one-night island tour with a nervous mood.

I believe that when they come back, there will be an endless stream of tourists wanting to visit Sky Island.

These guests have spies from various forces. Xia Jieren doesn't care about this at all.

I believe that once they arrive at Sky Island, they will give up the inappropriate thoughts in their minds.

Following a clear and pleasant bell sound, the airship began to slowly rise into the air.

People were immersed in the sound of the bells, their faces intoxicated.

When they came to their senses, they began to look around, looking for the place where the sound came from.

After searching in vain, one of them looked up at the sky and said in a trembling voice, "Well...it seems to be...from the sky."

Upon hearing this, there was an uproar at the scene and the crowd was completely boiling.
