Chapter 508: The Possibility of Mass Production of the Hades
Tom the Fishman, who used to be One Piece Gore? D. Roger, the legendary shipwright who built the pirate ship, is definitely one of the very few people in the world who has the most exquisite shipbuilding skills, and not only that, but what surprised Louis most about this man was that he only took fourteen years to build a steam locomotive from scratch that could sail on the sea.
This is really not an easy thing to do, in this world where the universal scientific level is stuck in the Middle Ages of the earth, and being able to directly enter the age of steam from scratch, this man's genius really doesn't know how to evaluate it.
And this year, in the year 1512 of the Sea Calendar, is the time when the original Zhonghai Train was born, and it is also the time when Tom was framed by Spandam and sent to Justice Island for execution.
Unfortunately, the sea train will probably not be born.
Luckily, Tom shouldn't be dead.
"Is this the blueprint of the Immortal?"
Louis sat casually on a wooden box, flipping through the thick stack of drawings in his hand, he couldn't understand what was written on it, but everyone knew the words, Louis was in the training camp when the cultural courses were also among the best, but when it came to professional knowledge, Louis only had a confused face.
"That's right, Lord Louis,"
Standing respectfully in front of Louis, Tom the Fishman said in a deep voice, "This is the treasure that has been passed down from the era of the Capital of Seven Waters, and it is a treasure left by the craftsmen who made the Hades King back then, so that when the Hades King falls into the hands of evil and loses control, he has the power to compete with him." ”
The exact time is not clear, and the reason is not clear, Louis only knows that about 800 years ago, the Evil Warship was born on this island, and the powerful shipwrights created a demonic weapon, one of the three ancient weapons that can destroy the world, called the Ship of Destruction of Hades.
But it is clear that in addition to their extraordinary skills, the shipwrights also have far-sightedness, and they successfully foresaw what would happen when Hades fell into the hands of conspirators like Louis for 800 years, and the world had no power to fight against it, so they deliberately left behind the blueprints of Hades to fight against the out-of-control Hades.
And finally, the drawing is now in Louie's hands as well.
"Awesome!"
Louis sincerely admired, "Did the science and technology of the ancients reach this level?" Whether it is the power system or the weapon system, it is far from what the current ship can fight, let alone more powerful ship materials, and the technology tree of materials science is also so high? ”
It's unimaginable, Hades was given to Tezzolo by Louis himself, he knows the ship too well, it can be called a magical power system, simple sea water can be used as energy, and the power is even more incredible, the secondary cannon on the side of the ship already has terrifying power, the main gun Louis didn't dare to try to move at all, I'm afraid it will be too big, and the sturdiness of the hull is even more amazing, it is comparable to the sea building stone, even if Louis wants to destroy this ship, it is an extremely difficult thing.
Several people in Tom's studio stood respectfully in front of Louis, their eyebrows lowered and they didn't say a word, they were already the most loyal shipwrights under Louis, and the hero of all this, the little princess Brien, was squatting on the side to study the little ants crawling on the ground.
"With your level of technology, can you make it?"
Louis shook the drawings in his hand and made a noise, "According to the drawings, make a replica of the Hades." ”
"It's-"
Mr. Tom hesitated slightly, his eyebrows twitched, "It's not difficult to make it alone, after all, we have drawings in hand, we just need to do it, the predecessors have taken into account the problem that a lot of technology will be lost, so many details are recorded in detail, even if the boatman is not too skilled, if he is given enough time, it is not difficult to reproduce a Hades, but——"
"But ——?"
Louie couldn't help but be happy when he heard that it was not difficult to reproduce Hades, if he made a fleet of Hades, who would be able to withstand it?
"The only problem is, the material,"
Mr. Tom said, "Metallurgical technology has improved dramatically compared to 800 years ago, but it is too difficult to create the metal that built the Hades, and it took the shipwrights of the past ten years and an unknown amount of money to finally smelt the metal of sufficient strength in order to make the Hades. ”
"In other words, is it the biggest problem to copy the materials of Hades?"
Louis frowned, "If you want to completely replicate a Hades, how much time and money will it take?" ”
"Even with the current level of metallurgy, coupled with the fact that there are drawings to reduce the time of our experiments, it will take me at least three years to lead the best shipwrights in the capital of seven waters."
Tom lowered his head and silently calculated for a while before he replied, "In terms of funds, there is absolutely no possibility of success without 50 billion Baileys, this is still based on the fact that everything goes well, in fact, we need a large number of precious metal smelting alloys, and the ores needed in this process also come from all over the world, and many kinds are now basically extinct in the market." ”
"Is three years just uncertain?"
Louis frowned, five billion Baileys is not a big problem, now even if it is not embezzled from the government, it is not a big deal to take out this fund with the wealth of the Mario Pirates alone, the only trouble is the problem of time, three years is too long, who knows if there will be any accidents during this time? Not to mention that even three years does not guarantee 100% manufacturing success.
"Can you replace that metal with something else?"
Louis asked.
"I'm afraid this won't work, ordinary metal can't withstand the terrifying power of Hades at all, I'm afraid that the concussive power generated by the moment of firing the cannon can shatter the ship, that is the dream alloy made by the predecessors with all their efforts, not only is the strength sufficient, but also can absorb the shock impact to a great extent to protect the hull."
Tom said so.
The description of this metal sounds familiar, is it called vibranium?
"I may not be able to absorb shocks, but I think it should be fine if you simply ask for strength."
Louis thought of something that would probably be a good substitute, "How about the Hailou Stone?" ”
"Hailou Stone?"
Master Tom was stunned for a moment, and then frowned, "Hailou Stone is indeed the hardest stone on the sea, and its strength is definitely enough, but it can't be processed at all." ”
"Processing is not a problem,"
Of course it's not a problem, the Mario Pirates already have several mature Hailou stone mining and processing production lines in Wano Country, "You just need to tell me, Tom, is that okay?" ”
"This - although the lack of the ability to absorb shocks cannot guarantee the service life of the ship, but in terms of strength, it is certainly enough."
Tom thought about it for a while, and finally replied, "If the processing can be done smoothly and the quantity is sufficient, the construction period can be greatly reduced." ”
"Hah, that's enough!"
Louie smiled lightly, "Then let's go, come with me, Tom's Studios, it's time to expand and make some big news." ”
In this case, the mass production of Hades is not a dream, right?
