Chapter 2 Steam Technology
New World, a stronghold of the Whitebeard Pirates, the island where Whitebeard and Fire Fist Ace are buried. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Noah's Ark, with the throne skull flag flying outside the island, was far away on the sea, and due to the tonnage of Noah's Ark, it could be said that there was no port in the world that could accommodate the world's largest warship.
On the docks of the City of Life, Yunero asked Monet, the capable female secretary beside him, "The Whitebeard Pirates have already been contacted, right?"
Monet held the notebook, stood behind Younero, and said respectfully: "Boss, Svendazo has contacted Marko, and Marco said that he will be waiting for you on the island. ”
"Hehe, Marco. Yunero nodded, he had a relationship with the Whitebeard Pirates when they were at war, and they weren't so familiar with each other. But looking at Marko's appearance, he is also looking forward to this meeting, and I think there should be something that needs the help or cooperation of the Yunero Pirates.
There are not many people who have landed on the island this time, because the entire pirate group has been reformed, so most of the cadres are familiar with the changes within the pirates, and deal with the relevant matters after the reform, Yunero also brought the capable female secretary Monet and the very capable maid Baby5 two personal assistants.
At this time, a special ship was docked in the harbor of the City of Life, and its pitch-black hull and scarlet bottom were a little more dazzling than the wooden sailing ships in the harbor. This ship was also different from other wooden sailing ships, and although it was also a wooden battleship, it was not quite like other sailing ships. There was not a single mast large enough to support the sails on the flat deck, but instead there was a towering black pipe that slowly belched wisps of green smoke outward. Look at the sides of the ship on the left and right sides, two huge round objects are mounted on both sides, which are paddlewheels, a special power machine. And this ship is also the verification warship of the Yunero Pirates, a paddle steamer powered by steam power.
Since the industrial area of the City of Life has already entered the era of the Industrial Revolution, various steam technologies are also booming, and the factories in the industrial area are also lined with chimneys, constantly spitting black smoke to the outside. One of the most important imported ingredients for the City of Life is coal from all over the world, which is procured through the Chambord Chamber of Commerce. In this technologically underdeveloped world, this kind of black stone that I don't know what to use for is naturally purchased by the Chambord Land Chamber of Commerce at a very low price. The Chambord Chamber of Commerce even set up the energy company "Noah Minerals", which is crazy to explore and set up factories around the world to collect coal mines. Since steam technology is one of the technologies strictly controlled by the Yunero Pirates, it has not spread to the outside world because of this, and it is a monopoly technology. Therefore, the other forces did not ask much about the Chambord Chamber of Commerce's procurement of coal, and everyone thought that the Chambord Chamber of Commerce had too much money and no place to spend it, so it had nothing to do with useless black stones. Of course, the president and several vice presidents of the Chambord Chamber of Commerce secretly snickered, who would have thought that most of the industrial products sold by the Chambord Chamber of Commerce were forged by machines through the energy generated by the burning of this worthless black stone in people's mouths. The high-level of the Chambord Chamber of Commerce naturally won't tell anyone else the news, this is a steady stream of wealth channels.
The development of steam technology has also made the density of chimneys in industrial areas higher, and the density of chimneys has become higher, which in turn has polluted the air in the entire capital of life. But don't worry about this, you must know that the City of Life is inside Noah's Ark, and Noah has also modified the genes of all the plants in the City of Life in response to this situation, and has the ability to purify industrial pollutants in the air. As a result, the entire capital of life is in a lush environment and the air is extremely fresh. Yunero is sure that the entire City of Life is probably the most livable city in the One Piece world. The two pillar industries of the City of Life, one is industry, and the other is the tourism industry brought about by the beautiful environment, and those who have nothing to do or pirates or other neutral people will always come to the City of Life to travel. Industry accounts for 70 percent of the total output value of the City of Life, tourism accounts for nearly 30 percent, and the benefits of the pirates who once robbed homes and houses are less than half of them. Yunero couldn't help but shake her head every time she saw these data analysis, and lamented the low productivity in the One Piece world, and she was no longer a pirate in the true sense of the word, and the income from looting was really a drop in the bucket compared to the output of industry and tourism.
Standing on the deck of the paddle steamer, Yunero propped up the railing with both hands, and said slowly, "Let's sail and land on the island." ”
"Yes, boss. Monet bowed slightly, then gently stepped back and walked to the captain's room, telling the captain of the verification ship that he had set sail.
A moment later, the paddle steamer whistled, and the seagulls standing on the railing of the paddle steamer were frightened and fluttered their wings and strively left. Immediately afterwards, the hull of the ship trembled slightly, and the chimney began to "whirring" outward, spitting out a circle of black smoke, and the paddle wheels on both sides of the ship also slowly rotated at this time.
Lying on the railing of the side of the ship, feeling the tremor of the paddle steamer, and looking at the waves rowing below, Yunero grinned: "If you climb the technology for a while, you may be able to forcibly climb the technology tree of the One Piece world to the time of World War I, but that will be a few years later." But I didn't really expect that the Mibo clan would master steam technology so quickly, and even make a steamer-age ship like a paddle steamer. If we go further in the construction of ships in the future, and point out the ironclad technology and the combined turret technology, wouldn't it be possible to build any ironclad ship? Wouldn't it be nice to reproduce the two Zhenyuan and Dingyuan? ”
Yune thought so, but he also knew that it was a difficult process, and that he needed to give the Mibo clan enough time to climb. After all, there are no people and forces in the One Piece world to climb technology, and when it comes to real climbing technology, it may only be that a strange pirate like him would do this, and everyone else is a small fight, including the navy. Yunero has also been glad that he has met a group of high-tech people on Fantasy Island, and if it weren't for them, the Yunelo Pirates might still be holding no more than 50-pound guns and using the half-barrel of water sail battleship tactics of the Earth Age to entangle with the navy. And his own crew members also took the burning stick with an extremely unreliable hit rate, and put a shot indiscriminately, not knowing if they could hurt the other party, and then picked up their weapons and rushed up to the white blade with a scream.
