Pirates from island owner to king

Chapter 391 Finding the Lantern Fish

The Moby-Dick moved on, and this time they came out without taking more ships with them.

However, although the name of the current Moby Dick is still the same, it is actually almost a completely different ship. The only thing that remains unchanged is the overall shape.

The original size of only two to three hundred meters has now reached over a thousand meters. Even a super giant like Little Oz can move freely on the ship.

Such a ship is already comparable to a large-scale sea king, but it is not the largest ship in the Heping Island Kingdom.

It is also not the largest in this sea.

Because we need to take into account the giants on the island, and add some weapons and cannons, we must make them as large as possible to build the ships into steel battleships.

To a certain extent, it is comparable to the legendary ancient weapon Pluto, the top battleship of the Peace Island Kingdom, and its main gun attack can barely destroy an island with one shot.

This is without counting mushroom bombs.

In addition, we are not just considering the giants, but also the New World, or the Grand Line, or even the entire sea.

Most people would prefer to take a larger boat if possible.

And, as big as possible.

The reason is not complicated. On this sea, whether it is the land of the four seas or the great sea route.

They all have several things in common, the biggest one being pirates.

The existence of pirates has always threatened the safety of the sea, making it impossible for many people to go to sea with peace of mind.

Even if you go to sea, you still choose to take a larger passenger ship or a merchant ship.

Only such ships are strong enough to resist pirates.

Because the larger the ship, the higher the carrying capacity, the higher the investment cost.

If you want to make money, you need to do a good job in security maintenance, and you must invest enough security forces.

Moreover, small ships may only be worth a few shots to pirates.

But when the ship is large enough, the attack of the artillery shell may only cause some superficial damage to the ship.

However, the power of many ships on this sea depends on wind power. If the ship is too big and the wind power is obviously not enough, then other power sources need to be considered.

In this era, except for a few technologically advanced islands and a few forces such as the world government, most of them do not have the ability to possess sufficient power technology.

This limits the size of the ship.

But no matter what, as long as there is demand, there will be a market.

All kinds of huge ships are not uncommon on this sea.

Resisting pirates is only one aspect. In any case, you can also rely on firepower and force to fight against pirates, and it does not necessarily require a large ship.

The ship is large enough and has a greater carrying capacity. At the same time, it has greater resistance to other dangers on the sea.

For example, Neptune types and some sea beasts with hairstyles.

If these threats are the same as pirates, they are not insurmountable, but there is also the issue of natural disasters.

Especially on the Great Sea Route, weather and climates of various natural disaster levels are often difficult for manpower to resist. Under such circumstances, a ship that is large enough has a better ability to withstand risks.

Although some natural disasters, even some mountains and even islands can be brought into the sky.

But such natural disasters are usually difficult to encounter directly unless you are very unlucky.

Under normal circumstances, there are often some warning signs before a natural disaster of this magnitude arrives.

Therefore, when a ship is large enough and reaches hundreds or even thousands of meters, or even several kilometers as long as an island, it can basically withstand most natural disasters along the Grand Line.

With such a ship traversing the great shipping lanes, there is sufficient security.

Among the Grand Line, and in the second half of the New World, the weather was the worst.

Therefore, the ships of the King of Peace Island should be built as strong as possible, multi-functional, and large in size.

Strong, that is to say, in terms of materials, most ships on the sea are made of wood.

Although some wood can even be compared to first-class steel, such as Baoshu Adam.

However, such top-quality wood is still too rare after all.

The ships and warships of the Peace Island Kingdom, especially some of the top models, even use vibranium synthesized by Xiao Hei in the keel part in order to be strong enough.

However, due to raw material issues, it is not used too much, and only a few top-tier ships can use it.

After all, in the Peace Island Kingdom, there are many places where vibranium is needed.

For example, many high-end weapons and equipment are made of vibranium.

It would be fine if they were all of average body shape, but most of them are above average height.

This average height is almost two meters. Wang Hai is now just above the level. He has a height of [-], which is one-third of Whitebeard's height.

Such a height is far from the average among the high-end military forces of the Heping Island Kingdom.

Just little Oz alone has raised the average height by a large margin.

The amount of vibranium equipped for him to use is undoubtedly the largest.

However, Wang Hai is not sloppy in this regard. He is not afraid of using too much, but is afraid of using sparingly.

He wished that everyone was armed to the teeth.

By then, everyone will have top-level defense and have an advantage against the enemy.

Not only high-end military force, but also equipping the elites of the kingdom's legion with some vibranium equipment as much as possible to improve their attack and survivability.

Then, there are some important industries and high-end technological products in the kingdom. In these aspects, more vibranium is needed.

There is no doubt that materials have an important impact on the development of industry. In many cases, it is often due to the limitations of materials that the theory is available in some aspects, but the practice cannot be carried out.

In the Marvel world, Wakanda can become a top technological country, in which vibranium plays a very important role.

The vibranium synthesized by Xiao Hei is almost as different from the vibranium in the Marvel world. It also played a very important role in the industrial development of the Peace Island Kingdom.

Finally, the preparation of the spacecraft and some other aspects require the use of vibranium, so reserve it in advance.

Especially the spaceship, its role is very critical.

Not only for traveling to the stars and sea in the future, even now, on this planet, spaceships can also play an important role.

On this sea, the overall level of industrial development still remains on the sea, and transportation is mainly by sea.

The existence of the spaceship directly gives the Peace Island Kingdom a huge advantage in the aerospace field.

Not only can it be transported quickly, used with mushroom bombs, and used to quickly deliver some high-end force, it can also be used directly as a fighter jet.

Taken together, it can pose a huge threat to hostile forces.

Such an important spaceship has almost all the top technologies of the Peace Island Kingdom. The materials used are of course the top materials, of which vibranium accounts for the majority.

In short, after counting the various uses, there are many places where Vibranium needs to be used in the Peace Island Kingdom.

The current output is far from insufficient supply.

The reason why Wang Hai equipped high-end military forces and even elite legions in advance was because it could directly and significantly improve the overall strength of the Heping Island Kingdom.

On the other hand, it is also because of these aspects that weapons and equipment made of vibranium can be used for a long time.

In addition to vibranium, various alloys and steels are also used.

The Peace Island Kingdom itself has a huge need for these things.

It is impossible to invest too much in these huge battleships, so we can only find other ways.

Xiaohei tried to study Baoshu Adam.

Unfortunately, this tree species is very special and cannot be easily synthesized.

Therefore, this problem was solved by Hongjiao and his team.

As Red Pepper’s team has grown, its research scope has also become much larger.

Among them, the little humans helped a lot in terms of food and medicinal plant cultivation.

Red Pepper can also spare some energy and lead others to conduct other research.

Finally, with the cooperation of some auxiliary fruit abilities, Hongjiao's team developed a new tree species.

This tree species is not exactly the same as the Adam tree, but has specific performance requirements. It can be cultivated from the sapling stage, and eventually trees with multiple properties such as hardness, toughness, compression resistance, tensile resistance, and anti-corrosion can be cultivated.

It just so happens that different parts of a ship require different material properties.

For example, in terms of appearance, we mainly need materials that are corrosion-resistant, elastic and impact-resistant.

It may take several years or even decades for normal tree species to grow from sapling to maturity.

However, the tree species specially cultivated by Heping Island Kingdom use technology and fruit capabilities to grow from saplings to towering trees in just a few months.

The wood produced by this tree species is not only used for ships, but even spaceships, and can be used in various areas of Heping Island.

Its wide range of uses and value are not even much smaller than vibranium. The key is that it is easier to produce than vibranium.

With such wood, Heping Island Kingdom's ships can be built as large as possible, and the number is not limited to one or two ships, but hundreds or thousands.

Compared with shipping, the transportation capacity of spaceships is still far behind.

Therefore, shipping is also the main mode of transportation for the Heping Island Kingdom.

As for the interior, spaceships and various land vehicles directly make the transportation within the Peace Island Kingdom very developed.

As ships get larger and the material problem is solved, the power source also needs to be considered.

Otherwise, if the speed is too slow or the consumption is too high, the ship will become useless.

When building ships in the Heping Island Kingdom, in addition to size, speed must also be considered.

Power source is the key, and in comparison, the Peace Island Kingdom also has an advantage.

Because Heping Island has developed nuclear power.

That's right, not only mushroom bombs were made, but nuclear power was also developed.

Although it is only for fission reaction applications and there is still some way to go before stable fusion can be developed, such power technology is already at the top of the sea.

Even the world government may find it difficult to come up with the same level of power technology.

However, exceptions are not excluded.

If the Celestial Dragons are really aliens, then they probably have some unimaginable technology in their hands to be able to come to this planet.

At least in terms of spaceships and long-distance navigation, what we can master in these aspects may not be comparable to nuclear fission, or even controllable nuclear fusion.

However, it is also possible that in fact, in terms of technology, the Tianlong people are not that powerful.

The ability to travel through the stars is due to the Devil Fruit ability.

This is not impossible, just like in the original plot, Enel relied on the ability of the Thunder Fruit to build the spaceship Ark.

The technical content contained in it is not low, but it is not too exaggerated. It is more like a combination of primitiveness and technology, which looks a bit weird.

Closer to home, after the Moby Dick continued to advance for dozens of kilometers, Marco's mechanical modification once again detected a new situation.

On the big screen, the person who appeared before and was suspected of being the world government appeared again.

This time, out of thin air, I used the Door Fruit to open a door and come out.

It's just that the distance to Moby Dick is more than 100 kilometers closer than before.

Obviously, it has been determined that they are coming here.

A distance of several hundred kilometers is not a particularly far distance for someone who is good at top-notch knowledge, knowledge, and color perception.

The people on the opposite side seemed to be prepared, so if it weren't for the direct use of the staring fruit ability of the mechanical transformation body, Marco and others found that it was difficult to sense the existence of the other party.

The other party used some means to avoid the perception of seeing, hearing, and color, and in turn used seeing, hearing, and color to perceive them.

Marco and the others were not too surprised that the perception of sight, hearing and color had lost its effect.

In fact, with a distance of hundreds of kilometers, no one would use sight, hearing, and color to perceive that far away all the time unless they had nothing to do.

Even beyond a certain range, they will not be carefully perceived one by one.

As for blocking the perception of seeing, hearing and color, it is not particularly difficult.

Seeing, hearing, smelling, sensing breath, or hearing sounds is similar to radar sensing and infrared sensing.

Or more like a combination of the two.

However, the details are somewhat different, and the perception effect is broader, just like the spiritual consciousness of an immortal cultivator.

In such a situation, for physical skills masters, they only need to restrain their own aura to avoid the perception of seeing, hearing and color with a high probability.

Or, while condensing his own aura, he hides next to some powerful creatures and uses the other party's aura to cover himself.

Then, there are some special items that can completely isolate a person's breath.

For example, some special fabrics can do it.

These people are most likely like this.

However, in recent years, the Kingdom of Heping Island has blocked most of the information from the World Government, so that the other party does not know the mechanical transformation body and the stare fruit ability that Heping Island is researching.

Through perception, the other party came closer again.

But at this time, something happened on one of the big screens, causing Marco and others to divert their attention.

Less than 8000 kilometers away from the Moby Dick, under the surface of the sea, at a depth of about [-] meters, a huge creature was resting in a deep trench on the seabed.

This is a super huge lantern fish, and you can see the light-emitting organ above its head that looks like an electric lamp, emitting shining golden light.

In the deep sea, it has been blocked by layers of sea water before it breaks through the sea surface.

However, under the scrutiny of the stare fruit ability, thousands of meters of sea water could not block the fruit's perspective, and the lantern fish on the bottom of the sea could be seen clearly.

Relevant pictures are clearly displayed on the big screen.

After careful observation, Marco and others were almost certain that this was the target they were looking for.

After all, it is unlikely that there will be another such a huge lantern fish in this sea.
