Pirates: How many divisions does the Five Old Stars have?

Chapter 198 The New Use of Caesar Courant

There is no permanent banquet in the world, and the annual meeting of the Big Bird Consortium, which lasted for three full days, is over.

At this annual meeting, President Ma Qiao announced the work plan of the Big Bird Foundation for the next five years.

Tap the potential internally, further open up the promotion channels for employees, and mobilize the enthusiasm of employees.

To expand the market, in addition to ensuring the basic business of the East China Sea and Alabasta to the reverse mountain, it is necessary to further actively expand to other industries.

At the same time, the Big Bird Group must continue to develop and innovate, and strive to meet the growing needs of ordinary people in the Pirate World for material culture, and become a trend-setter in the new era!
President Ma Qiao spoke eloquently for nearly three hours.

If it wasn't for the luck that the food was delicious, they might all fall asleep later.

But in short, there are only three sentences: make money, make money, and return the fuck is making money!

After the annual meeting, representatives from all over the country returned to their respective jobs by boat or through the Hex transition gate.

Marjorie wasn't idle either.

Through this annual meeting, he discovered many new problems.

For example, with the expansion of the Big Bird Consortium's territory, traffic problems have become an important factor restricting the consortium's development.

Born under the red flag and growing up in the spring breeze, Ma Qiao always kept in mind a truth, if you want to get rich, build roads first.

One Piece World does not lack roads, but it lacks safe and effective means of transportation.

Obviously there is a superb mechanical civilization and biotechnology for making humanoid Gundams. As a result, most of the means of transportation in One Piece World are sailboats and galleys.

Kid Rona has a submarine, which seems like a big deal, but it's off the charts.

But then again, the Hextech in League of Legends isn't much different.

The strong steampunk style is always lingering in the black technology.

Marjorie is a pragmatist, he doesn't have any special feelings for steampunk, he only likes black technology.

At present, the No. [-] black technology in the hands of the Big Bird Consortium is undoubtedly the Hex Transition Gate.

This thing is suspected to be mixed with some unfathomable principles such as quantum entanglement. Anyway, Ma Qiao can't figure it out at all.

Compared with any traditional means of transportation, the Hexgate is undoubtedly a cross-age invention.

But its distance is limited.

Just like in the game, you can't go directly from one side of the crystal to the enemy crystal through the hex jump gate.

After repeated tests by relevant researchers, the maximum travel distance of the Hex Jump Gate is about [-] kilometers.

Compared with the vast and boundless sea, this distance seems a bit too short.

It’s not bad that there are dotted islands between certain routes, and long-distance travel can be achieved through island hopping tactics.

But in more cases, it often happens that there is no island in the sea for several days or even weeks.

In this case, there is no way to use the Hex jump gate.

And there is also a very important point. In the world of Pirates, the world government is not too strict in controlling public opinion, and has cultivated a media tycoon like Morgons who does not take the world government seriously.

But if there is a disruptive mode of transportation, the world government's response may not be so slow.

Ma Qiao didn't dare to gamble on whether the degree of dementia of the five old stars had reached the point where he could move out such black technology as the Hex Jump Gate openly and still be indifferent.

After repeated weighing, Ma Qiao decided to walk on multiple legs.

……

Capital never sleeps.

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, Ma Qiao bid farewell to the gentle hometown and came to the secret laboratory on the outskirts of Shurima.

He called together all the engineers and scientists to conduct new concentrated research.

In the luxuriously decorated laboratory, Caesar Courant was tearfully eating the leftovers from the Big Bird annual meeting.

During Shurima New Year it is very cold.

The food hasn't spoiled yet.

Shurima will gradually implement central heating in the future.

The source of the heating is the one in front of me who is eating too much.

“It was so delicious!”

Caesar, who was locked in a gas tank for several months, now eats everything sweet and delicious, not to mention the leftovers from the annual meeting, which is also a rare authentic delicacy.

"Eat more, let the children look hungry and skinny!"

Ma Qiao added another chicken leg to Caesar in distress.

Where did Caesar lose fat!

That's pure natural gas, it's money!

Caesar feasted and ate food, and when he was full and lying on the ground clutching his belly, he suddenly found himself surrounded.

Piltover scientists headed by Heimerdinger, Jess, Victor and others, with various tools in their hands, surrounded them with grinning grinning.

"What do you want to do?"

Caesar yelled, and put on a fighting stance: "Macho, you vampire, letting me eat again and restore my free state is your biggest mistake! Don't underestimate the fighting power of scientists, bastard!"

Caesar took out the gas splint from his body, screamed and rushed towards Heimerdinger who looked the most bully.

"You are called a scientist!"

Heimerdinger took out a hex wrench and slammed it on Caesar's head...

……

After a moment.

“Private Marseille!”

Dr. Caesar Courant, with his hair full of hair, knelt down in front of a group of Piltover scientists in the posture of a soil seat.

"You have no idea of ​​the power of science."

Professor Heimerdinger clapped his hands, Jess silently put away the scientific hammer, and Victor sighed aside.

"You should feel lucky that Baron Marjorie has appointed us to cooperate with you."

"If it's those Frankensteins in Zaun, you're going to have a lot more than just being beaten."

"If it's those Frankensteins in Zaun, you're going to have a lot more than just being beaten."

"Praise the Lord Baron for his kindness!"

After friendly negotiations, Caesar finally integrated into Macho's research family.

Today, in the technical reserve of the Big Bird Consortium, the technical route of making the phone bug giant has been basically successful.

Reiju claimed that she was coerced by Ma Qiao and had to reveal some of Germa 66's core technology in the giant phone bug technology.

Just like the previous cloning technology, Reiju only gave some basic settings, and soon, the talented scientists in Macho's team restored Germa's technology very quickly, even Bigel Horse technology is even better.

Reiju was used to being hit.

After all, according to Professor Heimerdinger, she is just a "poor creature with an IQ of only 180".

The other scientists don't like to see the low IQ Reiju.

Caesar, who likes the young lady, licks his face and strikes up a conversation, but Reiju slaps him in the face with a big pussy.

Gas people can also be poisoned. His face, which had just subsided from swelling, was swollen again for more than a week due to allergic toxins.

It was only later that Caesar learned that this seemingly charming woman had an affair with the big vampire boss.

It made him sad.

It wasn't until the appearance of Jinx that Caesar felt that he had found his youth again.

Then, Marjorie was shocked when he received a report that Caesar Courant was stuffed into a rocket by Jinx and sent flying.

Fortunately, Caesar was stuffed into the rocket, and not the rocket was stuffed into Caesar.

Otherwise, Ma Qiao thought that the British tradition had been revived in his own hands.

·
Everything is proceeding in an orderly manner.

In early February, the first gigantic phone bug carrier was launched.

The location is at Whiskey Hill, which has been abandoned by the Baroque Works.

The launching ceremony was very successful, and Weiwei conducted a comprehensive follow-up report as a special correspondent.

Ignoring Germa's protests, Macho announced that this new type of transport ship will be fully installed in March to April this year.

They will replace the original galleys under Macho's command and become the main force for transporting goods.

Compared with ordinary sailboats, the advantage of the giant telephone bug transport ship is that it has a large load capacity, can cross the red soil continent, and has a strong ability to withstand storms.

The disadvantage is also obvious, that is, the movement speed is slower.

Therefore, the giant telephone bug transport ship is very good as a cargo ship, but it is not very practical for passenger transport.

And now the appearance of Caesar gave Macho another supplementary plan.

That is the airship.

In fact, Ma Qiao's original plan was to find related technologies for sea trains in the capital of seven waters.

After all, as long as you have seen One Piece, you will not be unfamiliar with the sea train.

It is said that the reason why the capital of seven waters will come back to life and regain its vitality is the sea train built by Mr. Tom.

However, after the on-the-spot investigation, Ma Qiao immediately rejected the plan of the sea train.

the reason is simple.

Building a train on the ocean is just plain stupid.

Although as a native of China, Ma Qiao also has deep-rooted obsession and preference for railways, but the fact is that water transportation is always the cheapest mode of transportation in the world.

Whether it is various canals or deep-water ports, their value is far higher than that of railways.

Otherwise, since the eighteenth century, the Russians would not have been thinking about going south to find a good port.

In the previous life, the China-Europe Railway Express running through the World Island was undoubtedly a great project, which greatly shortened the transportation distance between both ends of the World Island, but its freight was still two to three times that of sea freight.

The premise of all this is that sea transportation needs to go around to Malacca, Cape of Good Hope/Suez, and go around a large circle to Europe, which is much longer than railway transportation.

But One Piece World is essentially similar to the rice grain island map in the "Civilization" series of games. The whole world is like rice grains sprinkled in soup.

The shipping routes extend in all directions, and there is no detour at all.

In this way, the construction of railways cannot shorten the voyage at all.

Even, it can be predicted that the cost of building railway tracks in the sea will be much higher than that of building railways on land, and the cost between shipping and sea train transportation will be even more disproportionate.

This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that when Ma Qiao visited the capital of seven waters, he observed the operation of the sea train up close.

It was found that the rails of the sea train were close to sea level.

This means that once the sea train rails are built in this sea area, other sea ships will no longer be able to pass through.

This is somewhat similar to the Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge.

The construction of this bridge made the north and the south run through, and the natural moat became a thoroughfare. Of course, it was a very great project.

However, with the improvement of the Yangtze River waterway and the enhancement of navigation capacity, the Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge has in turn become an obstacle for large ships to enter the upper reaches of the Yangtze River.

The tracks of the Sea Train are even more extreme.

The height of the bridge is not enough, at least it can allow small and medium-sized sea-going ships to enter the Yangtze River. Once the sea-train rails are built, it looks like an artificial reef running through the sea.

The reef was so close to the surface that not even a small sampan could get through it.

Because of the fixed railway, all the routes were abolished. This is like picking sesame seeds and losing watermelons.

Of course, objectively speaking, the sea train is not useless.

At the very least, its safety is indeed higher than that of ordinary ships.

There are such terrible tsunamis every month in the capital of seven waters, and the sea train can still run, which is enough to show that its safety is very reliable.

But that's it.

The giant phone bug has a huge body, a wide chassis, and good stability. It is also a powerful weapon against storms.

Not to mention that Ma Qiao plans to imitate the big bug mobile kingdom built by the elephant master in the future.

The storm is nothing more than an itch.

Anyway, in Ma Qiao's view, except for some special waters, the Big Bird Consortium would not consider using the sea train as a technical route.

It will fall to Caesar to fill the passenger void left by the giant phone bug carrier.

If Enilo, who is full of treasures, not only provides all the power of the Sky Island assembly line, but also uses his brain to create a metaverse world for Ma Qiao, then Caesar's brother has equally great potential.

Before, Marjorie just regarded Caesar as a boiler energy source similar to Ace.

Now it seems that the problem is really too simple.

Of course, using gas to burn boilers is indeed one of Caesar's brother's functions, but his abilities are far more than that.

For example, Caesar's unique gas spray gun is an excellent ability for advanced electric welding.

More importantly, after researching Caesar's younger brother these days, Ma Qiao discovered, or remembered one thing.

That is, Caesar not only has the ability to create gas out of thin air, this guy actually has the ability to control the air and create a vacuum.

【No Empty World】

Caesar's secret technique, he vacuums all the air within a certain range, all creatures except himself will lack oxygen and cannot breathe, and severe cases will enter a state of shock or even die.

In the original book, Caesar used this trick to make Wang Lufei faint due to hypoxia.

But in the field of scientific research, creating a vacuum is definitely a big killer.

Vacuum airship is a spaceship that uses vacuum to replace floating gases such as hydrogen and helium to provide lift-off force.

Not only is it as safe and nonflammable as a helium airship, but it also has a stronger carrying ratio than a hydrogen airship, so it can be said to be an ideal means of transportation.

Of course, there is still a little material problem.

For example, under standard atmospheric pressure, the vacuum container is subjected to approximately 10 tons of atmospheric pressure per square meter.

This point may be very difficult on the earth, but in the world of pirates, ten tons is nothing, just find a strong man (except Wang Lufei), clone some of his bone cells or tooth cells, and you can use them to make airships steel exoskeleton.

On the outside of the exoskeleton, a layer of leather made of Nika cells is put on, and it will be ready at once.

It needs strength and strength, it needs toughness and toughness, and it is absolutely foolproof!
As for whether Ma Qiao himself would like to sit in the airship built with this thing.

Nonsense, with the Flying Thunder God Art, who the hell still rides in an airship!
Thinking of this, Ma Qiao took out the phone bug:
"Moses Moses!"

"Old thief Garp, ah, no, brother Garp, recently our hospital has a free dental check-up for the elderly, do you want to sign up for it?"

"Yes, yes, it's all free."

"And free eggs and milk!"

"Okay, I'll make an appointment for you to register!"
