A certain scientific pirate

No matter what industry they are engaged in, as long as they are the top practitioners, they have a considerable degree of confidence in their own standards. As for Espagu, before seeing Mo Fei's design drawings, he probably adhered to He has an attitude of "I have built more ships than you have ever seen" and does not think that the Navy's new warships will be anything special.

But this new ship is really strange.

"The construction material is not wood? Isn't it a sailboat?"

Well, this was his natural doubt.

First of all, let’s make it clear that in terms of building wooden sailboats, the shipbuilding level of the Pirate World is far higher than that of the Earth, and it is also far higher than Mo Fei’s common sense, because the wooden ships of the Pirate World can be built very large. , it is not a problem at all for a first-class battleship of the Navy Headquarters to have a displacement of tens of thousands of tons. This is something unimaginable on earth.

But wooden ships and ironclad ships are completely different 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 technical span is much more exaggerated than I imagined."

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

"The appearance design, weapon distribution, etc. were all drafts given by me, which were modified by Vegapunk, the great scientist of the World Government, and all the remaining detailed designs were 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 the young man in front of him also participated in the design? Such doubts were akin to looking down on people, so Espagu didn't ask after all.

"With all due respect, the construction of this ship is probably more difficult than the Major General imagined, because Carrera Company has always used various types of wood to build ships. It is not that we have never tried iron-clad ships, but they are all small boats the size of fishing boats. The key is The problem is with materials... We don’t have the ability to produce large areas of qualified steel plates.”

"The steel for building warships is provided by the future country Balkimoa. The main guns and turrets of the warships are provided by a secret arsenal of the World Government. The power system is provided by Vegapunk Laboratory... Seven Waters We are only responsible for the manufacturing of the hull and the installation of weapon modules."

Of course, Mo Fei and Vegapunk have made overall plans for these issues. The construction of new ships will not only be placed in the Seven Waters Capital, otherwise it will bring excessive costs to the shipyards here. technical threshold.

"The first ship 'Queen of the North Sea' is an experimental ship. Due to the use of too many new technologies, various problems will definitely be encountered during the construction process. Frankly speaking, there are few places in the world where such a 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... Shipbuilding technology and ship design concepts seemed to have undergone a leap somewhere and at an unknown time to him.

In fact, although Mo Fei calls this new ship a battleship, if divided by earth 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 and faster speed.

Because the "Queen of the North Sea" does not need such thick armor, there is no enemy ship in the world that can fight it. Its opponents are only wooden ships, so the limited armor is the thickest armor.

Espagu looked at the schematic diagram of the new ship, thought about it carefully, and then said, "I need to read the design drawing of the new ship in detail to evaluate whether Carrera Company 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 had no time to care about a broken ship that was still in the drawing stage.

Mo Fei was just putting pressure on the other party.

As for the technical leakage problem caused by leaving the blueprints to Carrera Company, Mo Fei is not worried at all. As long as Espagu has some brains, it is impossible to build such a ship for the pirates, because only the Seven Waters City has it. Such construction capabilities.

And if Espagu doesn't worry about taking responsibility and works for forces other than the navy and pirates...well, 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. Its success.

At this stage, Mo Fei believes that Monkey D. Doragon can bring beneficial changes to the world. He is at least much stronger than the Celestial Dragons.

"I understand, I will give an answer tomorrow."

"very good."

Mo Fei glanced at Avril, who immediately understood. She left here first, and a short while later, she came here with the team of marines and the blueprints.

The sailors placed wooden boxes here one by one.

"Suppose...design drawings, are these all?"

"Well, the design of the new warship is very complicated. I hope the crew will not get lost in the cabin in the future... This way we will not disturb Mr. Espagu. I hope to get your reply tomorrow." With that, Mo Fei stood Get up and prepare to say goodbye and leave.

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

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

Espagu was having a headache due to the huge amount of reading. He didn't know why Mo Fei suddenly asked 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 user I am?"

Espa was stunned for a moment, and this time he hesitated a little, "I've heard relevant rumors."

Mo Fei nodded, then sighed with compassion and said, "I heard that the Capital of Seven Waters has been suffering from the torture of the 'Water Gods' every year..."

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

At this time, Espagu was completely stunned. He was a very smart man, otherwise he would not have become the actual controller of the Seven Waters City. So he immediately understood that this rear admiral came to the Seven Waters City. The main purpose of both parties is naturally to build ships, but the content that can be traded between the two parties is not limited to shipbuilding. However, if there is the possibility of reaching other ancillary transactions, it still depends on whether the shipbuilding transaction can be concluded...

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

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

During this period, they also tasted a local specialty called "Shui Shui Rou".

After they were tired of shopping, the two of them went to the observation deck on the upper level of the "City of Seven Waters" to watch the sunset.

The sea breeze began to turn cooler, scattered lights lit up in the city, and the sea in the distance began to dim, but in the evening the city entered the busiest time of the day.

The setting sun, the quiet sea and the noisy city each have their own unique temperament, and the combined scenery is like a vivid oil painting.

After the sun sank halfway down the sea level, Avril, who had been standing quietly aside, suddenly asked, "Mo Fei, first gather acquaintances like us around you, and then build a distant place." What exactly do you want to do with a warship that is more powerful than the current warships?"

"What to do...guess?"

"..."

Avril decided not to guess.

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

Mo Fei added some nonsense, but in the end she did not answer Avriel's question directly.

"It's time for us to return to the warship."

The setting sun had already half sunk below the sea level, and it was no longer easy for the two of them to continue wandering around the city.

"Indeed, otherwise it would be easy for gossip..."

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

"What's the meaning?"

"Of course you want to fly back, or do you have to change to a flying position like a princess?"

"No need at all."

Well, April chose to reach out.
