Chapter 140: Research Progress on Airships
"Your Majesty's Seven Martial Seas?"
Galen's first reaction when he heard this was, "But I'm not a pirate!" ”
"Well..."
Karp in the microphone was silent for a moment before replying:
"In fact, His Majesty the Seven Martial Seas is not a pirate in the first place."
That's right:
His Majesty's Seven Martial Seas are His Majesty's Seven Martial Seas, and from an official point of view, they should be regarded as collaborators of the world government.
It's just that the members of the Seven Martial Seas are basically pirates, so in the eyes of the Navy and ordinary people, the three words "Seven Martial Seas" are no different from the ferocious sea pirates, but in the eyes of the pirates, the Seven Martial Seas are the lackeys of the world government who betrayed the class.
All in all, the reputation of the Seven Martial Seas is not good.
And Karp didn't explain a word, but said to Galen:
"Boy, if you don't want to be this Seven Martial Seas, you shouldn't be."
"Anyway, you're not a pirate, and that guy from Sengoku can't do anything about you! Haha..."
"Sengoku..."
When Galen heard the name, his scalp tingled.
I don't know if Karp did it intentionally or unintentionally, Galen immediately understood that his sturdy pig had been targeted by a high-ranking figure of the level of the Admiral.
"Karp-senpai!"
Galen only hesitated for two seconds, and then said righteously:
"I'll be the one of the Seven Martial Seas!"
"In the future, I will resolutely support the rule of the world government and maintain..."
"What nonsense!"
Karp scolded angrily, opened his mouth and said something very sorry for his status as a vice admiral: "What is there to maintain for that bunch of garbage in the world government?" ”
"Ahem..."
Galen, who was too deep in the play, realized that he was not being interviewed by reporters, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry, I'm cross-talking." ”
Karp didn't care about this little episode, but just took the trouble to explain the onboarding process of the Seven Martial Seas to Galen:
"Since you agree to be this Seven Martial Seas, then the Navy Headquarters will immediately send a Vice Admiral from the Headquarters to confirm your wishes in person and sign a formal Seven Martial Seas Treaty with you."
"After signing this treaty, you will be an official member of the Seven Martial Seas."
"Okay."
Galen nodded cheerfully.
Fortunately, he just needed to receive a vice admiral, and he didn't embarrass him, so he let him go to the Navy headquarters alone to do some induction ceremony.
"Kid"
After a moment of silence, Karp suddenly said in a somewhat clueless voice:
"In the past few months, the number of pirates entering the Great Passage in the East China Sea has dropped sharply, and the pirates who Smoker packed and sent back to the Navy Prison can't fit several warships, which is something I have never seen in the Navy for most of my life."
"What you did in the East China Sea, I and Sengoku appreciate it!"
“......”
Galen had another tingling scalp and a chill down his spine:
Even if Karp appreciates him, the naval marshal of the Warring States also "appreciates" him, a local warlord?
Although all the things he did in the East China Sea were reasonable and legal, if analyzed from another angle, they were all rebellious acts of digging into the corners of the world government.
But Galen was overwhelmed.
Because there are so many strong people in this world who are clearly pulling the banner and fighting against the world government like stars in the sky, how can the Warring States have the strength to trachea Galen, a friend of the East China Sea Navy who at least knows how to hide it?
Compared with the other members of the Seven Martial Seas, Galen's behavior is indeed no different from that of a "law-abiding citizen", and the world government will naturally not push such a new powerhouse who can recruit and help the pirates again.
"Karp-senpai?"
Galen asked cautiously into the microphone:
"What do you mean..."
"Let me be a little more restrained later?"
"Convergence? Hahahaha..."
In the microphone, Karp's hearty laughter could be heard.
After the laughter finally stopped, the naval hero who had never been in shape was really serious:
"Your behavior is my appetite, so I helped you and taught you, just so that you can go a little further."
"When you're as weak as the East China Sea, I'll teach you to be restrained."
"But now you've grown faster than I expected, so here's what I want to tell you:"
"After you become this Seven Martial Seas, don't degenerate like those scumbags that you and I look down on!"
"Carry on your justice for me!"
Galen gripped the microphone tightly, and his heart was touched.
He now knew how Karp, the naval hero, brought out a family of criminals...
"It will live up to your expectations."
Galen unconsciously straightened up, making his own promise to Karp as he had done when they parted in the Tokai Sea.
Karp answered with a smile and hung up.
Galen gently put back the microphone, but his expression was still a little deep:
Whether the righteous knight he played is real or fake, he can't tell it himself.
.......................................................................
The first thing the new lord did was to put all the work on the secretary, Miss Robin.
Originally, Princess Vivi was also Galen's right-hand secretary, but now that she has resumed her status as a noble princess, it is naturally difficult to deign to work for Galen.
Of course, Nami's lingering eyes may also be one of the reasons for her temporary withdrawal.
However, during the time of Klockdahl, Robin was in charge of all the affairs of the rainland, so she was quite handy in this position.
The only territorial political affairs that Galen himself participated in was to single-handedly promote the establishment of the Rainland Floating Science and Technology Research Institute.
This institute is not simple:
It is the most cutting-edge aerostat research institute in Alabastan, and it is also a key scientific and technological support project of the government of the rainy region, with abundant funds, advanced concepts and scientific and technological innovation.
There is one director, one researcher, one doorman, one security guard...
Well, they're all called Kentucky.
On this day, the chairman of Deppon Logistics, the lord of the rain land, and the Lord of the Seven Martial Seas, who has not yet officially taken office, personally inspected the Rain Floating Science and Technology Research Institute.
Galen affirmed the scientific research spirit and academic attitude of the director of Kentucky, and made an important speech on the topic of aerostat research:
"Lao Tzu gave you so much time and so much money!"
"You're going to make a ball like this?"
Galen pointed to a few helium balloons floating in the laboratory, and pointed to Kentucky's nose with an angry expression, and said, "How much effort does it take to produce an airship?" ”
People are under the eaves and have to bow their heads.
Faced with Galen, a complete layman leader, Kentucky had no choice but to defend weakly in a low voice:
"This gas is easy to make..."
"But there is still a long way to go from laboratory preparation to industrial production."
Galen didn't give him any respite, but just asked, "How long?" ”
"No, I don't know."
Kentucky's eyes wandered, and he replied weakly: "I'm doing research alone..."
"Ugh..."
Galen sighed, and commented very shamelessly: "Sure enough, he's just a second-rate scientist!" ”
The first-class scientists in the other world are all one person who can do all the disciplines and all the work, just like the Iron Man who makes a suit empty-handed.
And in this pirate world, there have long been people who have made mature floating equipment.
Although he didn't know how it worked, Galen knew that people in this world could even float all the way from the earth to the moon with a balloon.
Hearing Galen's words, Kentucky only blushed and retorted with some resentment:
"It's not my specialty!"
"I'm studying biochemistry and biochemistry..."
"Biochemistry?"
Galen angrily pulled out a whole bunch of words that he only knew by name:
"So will you be genetically modified? Will it be cloned? Any idea what a gene lock is? ”
"What's a gene lock?"
Kentucky looked confused.
"Ahem..."
Galen felt a little speechless, but pretended to be cold and said:
"This gene lock is not an academic field you can set foot in."
Kentucky, on the other hand, recalled Galen's previous words, and cautiously probed:
"Lord Galen, do you know about cloning technology too?"
"This is a secret on the sea, which is absolutely unknown to outsiders..."
Galen's eyes immediately widened, and he asked, "Will you?" ”
Kentucky's eyes dodged for a while, and he didn't say a word.
Eventually, he just said, "No." ”
"Ugh..."
Galen sighed lightly, and had to say with some disappointment: "Then you better study the industrial method of helium!" ”
With that, Galen turned to leave.
But Kentucky immediately stopped him again:
"Lord Galen!"
"Although the production of helium is low now, the amount of extra savings can be prepared for an empty boat."
"Oh?"
Galen's eyes lit up:
"So I can use this to build myself a flagship?"
With a flagship that can float in the air, Galen can travel freely between the Great Passage and the Old Lair of the East China Sea, which can be said to be extremely convenient.
And although there are a lot of people in this world who can walk the moon, the strong people who can have the strength to step on the moon all the way to a height of thousands of meters are all scarce creatures, and the safety of using an airship as a flagship is also a certain guarantee.
If you paint this flagship with a shark head and install a high-explosive bucky bomb, you can enjoy the thrill of the Kirov airship burning the prairie at an altitude of thousands of meters.
"This..."
Kentucky's face showed embarrassment again: "Helium is enough, but the aerostat you envisioned is not just as simple as being able to float." ”
"Lightning protection, wind resistance, load protection, sun protection, explosion protection..."
"Pods, airbags, engines, spiral blade fans..."
"All of this requires professional design, and I can't do it as a chemist, so you should go for professional help."
"Professionals?"
Galen's excitement immediately dimmed, and he couldn't help muttering to himself:
"Where should I find this kind of black technology talent..."
