The Black Duke of the Pirate

"steam?"

Another new word, Doflamingo was puzzled. There are naturally many technologies in this world that do not rely on the wind power of sails to sail, such as the navy's wheel power, or the power of ships that rely on Devil Fruits.

capabilities, but how is steam able to propel navigation?

He knew nothing, and fell into deep doubts. He vaguely felt that Reinhard in front of him seemed to be hiding many secrets.

"That thing can make a ship sail?" He naturally knew that steam was just the most common gas, but that gas was so small that it could propel such a large ship.

Doflamingo still didn't want to believe it, but he didn't interrupt Dawn's words.

At this time, Dawn took another piece of paper from his arms, spread it out and placed it on the table. Doflamingo looked at the contents on the paper with confusion.

I can't understand it at all...the crooked strokes, shapes, and coils seem to have no connection at all.

There are just a few patterns on the paper that are connected to each other. Dawn was drawn according to memory, and there are only four weird shapes.

"What I drew is a graphic design composed of steam power equipment." Mingxiao replied with a smile, pointing to the first graphic and said: "This is called a cylinder, and the steam generated after combustion will flow into here."

"This is the base, piston and crank rod."

Mingxiao pointed to several patterns one by one and said, these four patterns are too ugly to distinguish the graphics at all, but that's all he can do. It is already very difficult to draw these graphics. Steam-powered ones

The combined equipment is very complex, but fortunately the operating principles of steam are relatively easy to understand.

The key to being able to achieve these two points is that other things must be left to professional scientists to study before they can be realized.

If Doflamingo agrees to cooperate, he must be told that regardless of whether the World Government has steam power technology or not, their steam power technology cannot be developed in a short time. Scientific research requires absolute patience and massive amounts of data.

investment of money.

Although he relied on his past life memories to know the composition and operating principles of the equipment, even if he had relevant scientists on hand to help with the research and development, the difficulties he would encounter if he really wanted to manufacture it were unimaginable.

The most basic thing is how to make these four devices work together. This is also one of the difficulties.

Doflamingo was confused, so he shook his head and looked at Mingxiao's serious expression. He didn't want to interrupt, but in the end he still didn't understand what Mingxiao said.

"I don't understand what you are talking about?"

"I'll tell you the final conclusion directly!"

"In short... if steam power technology is developed, then our ships can rely on steam power to sail, and the sailing speed can be more than ten times faster." Dawn did not say anything technical to him, but told him directly.

Receipt after the final research is successful.

"Application insights are not limited to navigation, but can be used in all other walks of life. For example, in my factory, once steam technology is developed, it will be able to completely streamline operations and increase efficiency dozens of times."

Doflamingo was shocked by his words. Judging from his experience, he still felt a little incredible.

"Kid, are you kidding me?" Diamanti snorted and said arrogantly. He didn't quite believe what Mingxiao said, because it was simply impossible to achieve.

"I never joke!" Mingxiao shook his head. He didn't mean to be joking at all, but his tone was very serious.

Looking at Doflamingo's silent expression, Dawn suddenly said: "Brother Ming, you should know the scientist Vegapunk, right?"

Doflamingo nodded.

"Vegapunk, the greatest scientist, claims to be five hundred years ahead of mankind in wisdom, but what does it have to do with him?" Diamanti said.

"He is a scientist in the World Government's science force. He should have many assistants or colleagues with different research directions, right?" Dawn did not answer directly, but looked at Doflamingo with a smile. Doflamingo did not say anything, but

With his special status, he is naturally able to know these unknown secrets, even though he has never seen Vegapunk.

"So what?"

"It's not that good. Our steam power technology requires scientists who have in-depth research on mechanical aspects. It must be re-researched. All I can provide are simple drawings and the operating principles of steam power."

After listening to Mingxiao's words, Doflamingo finally understood his ultimate goal. He was very, very interested in what he said about being able to use steam power to propel a huge battleship. The sailing speed of a sailboat in the sea determines

Everything, if everything turns out to be true as he said, it will be the most important chess piece for him to dominate the new world in the future.

Moreover, he said that the steam power technology could be used in other fields as well, which made him extremely excited.

"I still don't understand how steam power can propel a sailboat?" Doflamingo also wanted to finally confirm that he had already been looking for Vegapunk's colleagues or assistants, even if he didn't have one

As for the steam technology he mentioned, Doflamingo is also planning to find an opportunity to contact Kaido after capturing Dressrosa.

"It's very simple." Dawn replied with a smile, "I'm going to light a fire and look for a pot."

He was going to use the most common way to tell Doflamingo the operating principle of this steam power technology.

Doflamingo asked his men to find these things. After a while, the flames began to grow louder. Then water was added to the pot and the lid was closed. After a long time, the water began to boil, and at this time, the lid of the pot was

It keeps rising and falling in the sky.

"Did you see it?" Mingxiao pointed at the undulating pot lid and smiled, then pressed the pot lid with his hand. After the steam in the pot condensed to a certain stage, there was another bang on the pot lid, and Mingxiao's palm shook slightly.

The shock came loose, and the pot lid rolled up.

"After combustion, it is heated to boiling to produce air. When the space is sealed, the steam can be artificially guided. The final flow of steam is continuously compressed, generating huge driving force."

"This is steam power technology." Mingxiao continued under the surprised gazes of Doflamingo and the others: "A technology that is very common in life, if used in other fields, it will exert unimaginable power.

"

Doflamingo was extremely shocked. All of them had seen this phenomenon, but no one had ever thought that it might be an extremely advanced technology. He could clearly feel the heat of the flames, which was produced after the water boiled.

A large amount of steam is generated, and the lid of the pot is directly flipped to the ground during the sealing process.
