12. Detection team
Luffy Yang quickly took Veronica to the location where Hercules was, looking at the 3 submarines in the open space, the 3 engineering vehicles drilling into the ground and the 4 planes, Luffy Yang nodded. He agrees with Veronica's choice, although the land and sea occupy the 7th and 3rd floors of the earth, respectively, and most of the gold is buried deep in the earth and at the bottom of the sea, there is also a lot of gold mined by humans that is not buried so deep, but stays in a position that can be detected by aerial detectors. That's when the fastest aircraft comes into play.
After Luffy nodded, Veronica stepped forward and pressed one hand on the plane closest to her. The purple light was mixed with tiny bolts of lightning that spread from Veronica's hands to all the machines, and after the flash of light on Veronica's hands, the ten machines changed violently, and after a dazzling writhing, they finally turned into Transformers about 10 meters tall.
These newborn Transformers also look dull and can't even speak, let alone be as active as other Transformers, fighting and making trouble when they have nothing to do, but fortunately they can understand and carry out Veronica's orders very well. After Luffy's order, the 10 transformers began to act separately according to the work that Veronica had assigned them. However, the submarine could not move on land, and it was only after walking in human form into the sea that it became a submarine. And the drilling truck found a place directly in the Perrija Mountains and drilled underneath.
Under Veronica's control, the four planes first jumped in their humanoid form, and then transformed into airplanes and flew in mid-air. Until some time after takeoff. Veronica gave up control of the plane and let the Transformers fly on their own. Luffy suddenly noticed that all 4 planes were shaking in the air. Even if Luffy Yang didn't understand it, he knew that this was not an abnormal situation. Hurriedly looked at Veronica.
After Veronica saw Luffy's gaze, she explained: "Master, these nascent Transformers Tinder have flaws, diving and burrowing are fine, if these planes are not under my control, they are likely to crash just after takeoff." So just now I was controlling these planes to take off, and after they flew up, I handed them over to control themselves. ”
Luffy nodded when he heard this, for the Transformers made using the transformation element, he was facing steel with Megatron. I've already been in contact. And the Decepticons at that time were not like the ones that Veronica had just made, it was at night when they were awakened by Megatron, and when they were facing Luffy, it was already the afternoon of the next day. After a day, the Decepticons still looked silly. If these newly awakened Transformers were to be more beautiful than the Decepticons, then Luffy would be strange.
It wasn't until all the Transformers in the detection team had started working normally that Luffy returned to Port Royal with Luffy again. After Luffy returned to the Governor's Palace, he went to meet with the Governor, and after staying in the port for more than half a year, Luffy finally became a little more polite to the Governor. Although there is a reason why the governor sends a lot of gold every month.
After meeting the Governor, Luffy said, "I want to go to the British mainland to have a look, can you help me arrange it?" ”
For most of this year, the governor did not say anything about the ransom. There are also a lot of supplies on weekdays, and he is still a good person, so Luffy Yang doesn't show much of a face to Governor Swan now. But Mr. Governor has now confirmed that Luffy is not a liar. A respectful respect for Luffy, after listening to Luffy's words. Governor Swan couldn't help but say, "Mr. Luther, why did you go to England?" The UK is not too friendly to other people. ”
Luffy said, "Nothing. I just want to go to some of the most powerful countries in the world at this time. ”
Luffy's reason was so strong that Governor Swan couldn't refute it, so he had to go and see when the ship from the Caribbean to England had departed in the recent past. After the Governor left, Veronica said to Luffy, "Master, why did you go to England in such a backward way? Even if you don't want to fly over, we can go by submarine! The thousands of kilometers from the Caribbean port to England, on a 16th-century ship, is too slow. If we go through this, I don't know how much time we will waste! ”
Luffy smiled and said, "We need the identity of Governor Swan, otherwise, even if we go to England, we won't be able to get a suitable identity." I know you might think that the nobility of England can also give us an identity, but it is more convenient than finding another nobleman from England, and it is more convenient for us to know Governor Swan. After all, we are all outsiders, and it is not appropriate to use the British identity, these nobles are too familiar with each other. ”
At this time, Lu Feiyang thought of Zheng He's trip to the West and Marco Polo's travels, of course, Marco Polo had been dead for hundreds of years at this time, but his books were still circulated in the upper aristocratic circles of European countries. And the legend of Zheng He's fleet decades ago was being sung in European countries at this time.
Magellan's navigation and Copernicus's doctrine may not have been without the influence of Zheng He, and the British development of the East India Company must have been related to Zheng He's silk and porcelain brought to the West. Perhaps it was because of the silk and porcelain that Zheng He brought from the West that these European countries vigorously developed the maritime industry, and then laid a large colony.
Without letting Luffy wait long, Governor Swan came back and said, "Mr. Luther, I have prepared the ship, but it is still being maintained in the shipyard. And we have to prepare food and water, and in about half a month, we can leave for the UK. By the way, I don't know how long you are going sir, can you take my daughter back? ”
Luffy shook his head and refused Governor Swan's request, "Mr. Governor, in addition to going to England this time, I will also go to other countries such as Spain and Portugal to have a look. If you want me to take your daughter back to England, it's fine, but if you let me take Elizabeth with me, that's unlikely, I'm not your babysitter, I have my own business. ”
Governor Swan had long been mentally prepared for Luffy's rejection of his proposal, because in his eyes, Luffy was not a good talker, which could be seen from the first meeting. Governor Swan didn't give up, he remembered what Luffy Yang said, "Ten years later, I want a ransom ten times the pirate treasure", so he cautiously asked, "Mr. Luther, will you return to the Caribbean?" Why don't you help me bring Elizabeth back from England when you come back?" (To be continued......)
