A certain scientific pirate

After finishing talking about Mo Fei's next work arrangements, Fujitora smiled and talked about another thing, or it could be said that this was the Navy Headquarters' formal response to some of Mo Fei's previous proposals.

"Mr. Mo Fei, you have previously submitted an application to the Navy Headquarters for the construction of a new type of warship. Objectively speaking, this kind of thing does not make much sense. In terms of warship performance alone, the Navy is ahead of the Pirates. In most battles that occur, the comprehensive offensive and defensive capabilities of naval warships can crush pirate ships.

At the same time, more importantly, the Navy Headquarters also has a numerical advantage that is difficult for pirates to resist. Compared with pirates who fight independently and work in small groups, the navy that is backed by the World Government and even the World Government's participating countries can mobilize the number of warships at one time. It can be called huge... The problems that battleships can solve can be solved by current navy warships. The problems that battleships cannot solve will not be solved by even the most advanced warships in the future.

Mr. Mo Fei, can you understand what I say? "

The meaning of Yixiao's words was of course obvious. The Navy Headquarters rejected Mo Fei's shipbuilding application as expected.

In the world of superpowers, the above content of Yixiao is not wrong, but his views on technology are obviously very different from Mo Fei's views on technology.

"Mr. Yixiao, first of all, we should make one thing clear. Humanity's own combat effectiveness or destructive power will sooner or later be surpassed by weapons designed and manufactured by humans. This is a very correct and simple rule, because 'weapons' are the collective concentration of human beings. Of course, this 'collection' of things made by wisdom exceeds the limits of a single human being.

Otherwise, humans are not considered intelligent creatures.

Sooner or later there will be a weapon in this world that can kill pirates like Yonko Kaido with just a pull of the trigger. "

In other words, such a weapon already exists in this world, but its target is not just pirates, but also the navy, the world government, and even all humans except the Celestial Dragons.

“On the other hand, weapons are also universal and widespread…well, it goes without saying much about this aspect.

I can understand the thinking of senior officials. After all, the Navy does not have so much extra funds, and building new ships requires a large investment, but I still think this is necessary.

In fact, I didn't expect to get funding from the Navy from the beginning. What I wanted was other support besides funding, including but not limited to design, technology, materials, docks, etc.

In terms of funding, I plan to slowly raise it myself. This can be regarded as an experiment with an eye on the future. Although it is necessary, it is not urgent, so I can definitely take my time.

So if this is a project that does not require funding from the Navy Headquarters, what does General Yixiao think? Can I get permission? "

Mo Fei said again that he knew he couldn't get any money, so all he needed from the beginning to the end was technical support from the Navy Headquarters - designing warships is not something ordinary people can do, let alone designing future warships.

In this regard, Mo Fei can at most provide some ideas and draw a rough three-dimensional view. As for the design work that actually involves the technical level... If the ship is built according to Mo Fei's imagination, then this design will There is only one person in the world who can accomplish this, and that is Vegapunk, the chief scientist of the World Government.

Vegapunk himself would definitely be interested in this kind of thing. This great scientist was often engaged in the design of battleships and other large weapons when he was young. For most people (especially people of a certain gender), cannons are huge. Ships are more attractive than model figures. But the problem is that the World Government has been hiding Vegapunk tightly, and it is not an easy matter to get in touch with this great scientist.

So Mo Fei needs "formal projects" and "official channels".

Upon hearing that Mo Fei didn't want any money at all, Fujitora was stunned for a moment with a smile, and then he regained his composure, "If that's the case, then it's not like there's no room for change. In fact, the Navy has always been full of such voices about shipbuilding. Central Committee There are also many new technologies here that I want to test on new platforms...

In this case, you can write a new formal report and submit it, and I will discuss it with the marshal again. "

Well, the so-called "no need" boils down to the fact that there is no money. The reason couldn't be simpler... Will the army and its leaders ever feel that the weapons in their hands are too powerful?

How is it possible? Everyone is suffering from the phobia of insufficient firepower to varying degrees.

"But if you raise funds privately to build a ship, it seems that..."

Yixiao still hesitated, mainly because it was really inappropriate for Mo Fei to pay for this kind of thing alone.

"It's okay. This is a project I want to promote. As for the name issue... we can set up a shipbuilding committee, and the shipbuilding committee will control the entire project. All names belong to this committee. As for those aspects that contribute to shipbuilding Trust me, Mr. Yixiao, no one will pay attention to this issue.”

Well, it’s just a name anyway.

"This high-sounding technique..."

Fujitora actually only had one thought at this time, and that was... why are you so skilled.

Mo Fei naturally just smiled and said nothing.

After these two matters were discussed, Mo Fei said goodbye and left Fujitora. After a day, his application for personnel transfer was quickly approved. However, he would not be able to finish the plan for the shipbuilding project in a while, so it would take some time before he could submit it.

But even so, what Mo Fei had to do when she came to New Marineland has been completed. I got a relatively satisfactory position, brought all the people I wanted under my command, and the shipbuilding project also made new progress... it was a complete success.

The next few people named by Mo Fei will be transferred directly to the Shampoo Islands, including Tsepes and Arda who followed Mo Fei to the new world. However, Mo Fei himself did not leave immediately, because he was planning to wait for someone in New Marine Fando and finish some private matters before going to the Shampoo Islands for duty.

To be precise, Mo Fei was preparing to go out to discuss a "business".

Well, big business.

Three more days later, Mo Fei waited for the person she was waiting for... It was none other than Juvaius Roland, who was acting as a broker in this business. I don't know if it was intentional, but in short, the other party did. It's on the New World side.

"Roland..."

After the two of them greeted each other, Mo Fei said straight to the point, "I don't have much free time. Where should we go next?"

"Indeed, after all, you have been promoted to major general... I have also received an order to transfer positions, and we all have to go to the Shampoo Islands as soon as possible.

But before that, that matter needs to be dealt with first, regardless of whether cooperation can be reached in the end.

As for our next destination...

It's the North Sea. "

Roland said.

"Beihai? Well, it must be Beihai." Mo Fei thought for a moment and then laughed.

"What's wrong?" Roland was confused by Mo Fei's sudden change in expression.

"I think of happy things..." Mo Fei shook his head in a way that no one could understand, and then continued, "Well, I feel that I will no longer be Elindel Mo Fei, and I have already done it for myself. I’ve thought of a very appropriate nickname.”

"Nickname? What nickname?"

"Didn't you expect that? Of course...

‘Luck the Country of Oz’. "

…………Devil Fruit Notes…………

In XXX7, a certain lighthouse country whose industrial capacity and economic strength has ranked first in the world, in order to demonstrate its national power, painted sixteen brand-new battleships white and formed a fleet with them as the main body, starting a two-year majestic war. Swinging around the world.

However, just the year before, a warship with new design concepts and technical specifications on the other side of the ocean had entered service. She used ten main guns of the same caliber to sweep all the old warships into the garbage heap of history.

The previous round-the-world voyage turned into a "scrap steel parade" just after setting sail.

The progress of technology is so sudden and painful.

This revolutionary and epoch-making battleship is called the Dreadnought battleship.

Although my son is very rich, it was still an era of "your dad is really your dad".
