Ji Guoyuan's words immediately attracted everyone in the laboratory, and several people looked sideways at Ji Guoyuan, Luo Nandi's face was stunned at first, and then showed a little joy.

And several subordinates of Ji Guoyuan Yi were full of puzzlement at this time, and Ferrand, who had been promoted to the rank of major, couldn't help but ask:

"Are we going to the North Sea?"

"That doesn't seem like we had planned, does it?"

"And"

"I'm afraid our ship won't be able to support a long voyage, let alone cross a windless zone."

"With your strength, even if you can drive away and kill the Sea Kings who attack the ship, I'm afraid that the damage to the ship will be inevitable."

"It's simply impossible to cross the windless zone."

The new navy has not reformed the rank system, the navy has followed the 800-year-old rank system, and it still has its superiority. Moreover, the continued use of the rank system in the navy is also conducive to cultivating a sense of belonging among subordinates.

Ji Guoyuan is not going to be outside the world power system all the time, and when the power is accumulated to a certain extent, he still needs to compete with the world government for the right to speak.

Until then, he wants to expand his influence as much as possible and expand the influence of the new navy.

On the route of the first half of the New World, the Thunder God Island Branch Navy led by a smile is actively building a branch base and recruiting excellent talents.

While building the base, Yixiao and Mihawk will often lead teams to go to sea to clear the pirates nearby and expand their influence, while also "planting flags" in various countries and towns, establishing contact points, and expanding the intelligence network.

After severing contact with the Navy Headquarters, it was not only the materials that restrained them, but also the intelligence network that the Navy had operated for hundreds of years.

At this stage, the first task of the new navy is actually to take root in the new world, and the operation of the four seas is not a priority for them.

And it is precisely because of this that Major Ferrand asked.

"Well, it wasn't planned."

"But it's a coincidence."

Ji Guoyuan smiled, and then continued:

"The construction of the new navy requires space, funds, people, and similarly, weapons."

"In terms of weapons manufacturing, one is raw materials, and the other is craftsmen."

"The problem of craftsmen was solved just a while ago."

"What we lack most now is raw materials."

"Platinum-lead ore is one of the most important materials in the manufacture of weapons."

"And the white town of Frevans is an important source of this ore."

Weapon development and manufacturing has always been an important factor restricting the development of the new navy, and it is true that on this sea, the real strong will not be harmed by the flintlock musket.

But in this world, after all, ordinary people account for the majority, for recruits, with a gun in their hands and an extra cannon on the ship, they must be a lot more stable in their hearts.

Therefore, the R&D and manufacturing of thermal weapons have always been attached great importance to the country.

The problem of the craftsman has been solved some time ago, and when he was chasing a group of pirates, he found a place called "Palm Island".

There, there are many skilled craftsmen, goldsmiths, silversmiths, blacksmiths, tailors, and even wax figures, which can be found on the palm island.

Although those craftsmen are not very good at weapon research and development, it is not difficult for craftsmen to imitate weapons alone.

Of course, the premise is that there are materials.

Ji Guoyuan opened his mouth to explain, and after Ferrand and the other new navies heard this, they couldn't help but nod. But soon, Ferland suddenly thought of something, leaned over to Jiguo Yuanyi's ear, and asked in a low voice:

"General, these things should be confidential, right?"

"Is it really okay to say this in front of these people?"

"If we go to the North Sea and are noticed by the Navy Headquarters and the World Government, I'm afraid."

Hearing this, Ji Guoyuan shook his head lightly with a smile and said, "There will be no problem, even if the World Government and the Navy Headquarters know, the greatest possibility is to turn a blind eye." ”

"For them, what they want is relative stability in the world."

"If they didn't have the confidence to kill me, they wouldn't have taken the initiative to attack me."

Ji Guoyuanyi didn't shy away from other people when he said this, and after walking on the Holy Land, Jiguo Yuanyi was also a little clearer about the details of the world government. None of them could keep him in the Holy Land, and it was simply impossible to keep him at sea.

unless

That hidden behind the scenes of Imu has some amazing means.

Or, all the top brass of the Navy Headquarters came out to arrest him.

But this situation will not occur at all, even if the five old stars have this mind, the navy will not do it.

After staying in the Navy for so many years, Ji Guoyuanyi also clearly knows that the Navy and the World Government are not as inseparable as outsiders see.

That is to say, those people in the steel bones and the Warring States do not want a major turmoil in the world situation, and their goals are the same as those of the world government at present.

But when the goals of the two sides do not coincide, the contradiction may be even greater.

This is true not only in this day and age, but also in the future.

When Nika was born and Wang Luffy landed on Eggtip Island, the navy only sent a general Polusalino, and the world government also needed to send CP0 led by Rob Lucky, and even Satan, one of the five old stars, the god of scientific defense and martial arts, came to Eggtip Island in person.

The lineup of sorties on the naval side was far inferior to the lineup against the revolutionary army during the war and the World Conference.

For the navy, the top war is related to the dignity of the navy itself, and it can be said to be a battle of life and death.

And the revolutionary army made a big fuss about the world conference, which is related to the face of the world government, of course, the most important thing is that the red earth continent is too close, even if it is perfunctory, it cannot be perfunctory.

But in addition to these major events, others, such as provoking the "Five Emperors" straw hats, the attitude of the navy is a little ambiguous.

With the strength of the Navy Headquarters, if he really wants to trouble Wang Luffy, he really can't handle it.

The existence of Ji Guoyuanyi, for the navy, belongs to the kind of character who can not take care of it.

Because for the navy, it takes a lot of effort to capture Ji Guoyuan, and it will not be of substantial help to the improvement of the maritime environment.

Instead of bothering about dealing with Jiguo Yuanyi, it is better to deal with the Whitebeard Pirates, Wang Zhi to deal with Hive Island, or to deal with the Wanguo of Big Mom.

If you don't consider the power and influence, the new navy that succeeds the first national destiny, whether it is the "cadres" bounty or personal strength, I am afraid that it is the strongest side.

If it is not necessary, the Navy Headquarters will not provoke Jiguo Yuanyi.

As for the world government, it only dares to make some small moves, and if it wants them to confront the new navy of Jiguo Yuanyi, the world side may not dare to make such a determination.

Vegapunk, who had taken Luo to the check, poured himself a cup of tea before sitting back on the couch.

After Luo learned that there was hope for a cure for his illness, his face was suddenly full of joy. However, in the joy, there was also a strong apprehension, and before the dust settled, Luo did not dare to have too much expectations for this matter.

Because the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment.

On the way Luo and Luo Nandi went to seek medical treatment, he also had hopes many times, but unfortunately, the final result was not very good.

"If you're going to Beihai, my advice is to hurry."

"This kid can stay with me."

"Although I can't completely cure platinum-lead disease at present, I can still delay the progression of the disease."

Vegapunk drank tea and said to everyone, and when the words fell, Vegapunk's eyes looked at Jiguo Yuanyi and asked:

"Mr. Jikokuenichi."

"Now, can you tell me what you're here for?"

Luo's matter came to an end, and Vegapunk was also in good spirits at this moment, planning to deal with Jiguo Yuanyi. Platinum-lead disease is just a minor problem in Vegapunk's eyes, and the purpose of Ji Guoyuanyi is what he needs to deal with seriously.

"Dr. Vegapunk, my purpose, I have already told you before."

"My purpose is you, the world's number one scientist."

"You should also know that I used to be a senior admiral in the Navy Headquarters, and then I was expelled from the Navy because of the break-in."

"Still. I don't think what I'm doing on the Holy Land is wrong. ”

"I'm just helping some people who deserve their sins to atone for their sins, and by the way, freeing some slaves."

"After leaving the Navy Headquarters, I built a new navy, and I wanted to let some dark places shine into the sun, so that some people who are not bound by morality and laws can be restrained again."

"I need your help for this purpose, Dr. Vegapunk."

"I would like to hire you as the chief scientist of our new navy and help us with the development of our new navy."

"If you have any requirements, just mention them, reasonable requirements, and I will do my best to meet you."

The topic shifted to himself, and Ji Guoyuan didn't mean to sell off with Vegapunk, so he stood up directly and spoke.

Hearing Ji Guoyuanyi's words, Vegapunk's action of drinking tea stopped, although this old brother stuck out his tongue and drank tea very happily, but at this time, the base was full of solemn atmosphere.

"What if I don't agree?"

"What would you do?"

Vegapunk raised his head slightly, looked at Jiguo Yuanyi, and asked.

He is not subordinate to the navy and the world government, and what he wants to study, the world government and the navy have no right to intervene.

Similarly, there was no way for the Navy and the World Government to force him to work on projects that he was not interested in.

And because of this, the development of the navy's ships has always been very ordinary, although the navy's ships are the most advanced ships of this era, but they have not exceeded the limitations of the times.

This is true in this regard, even decades later.

The "Coke Power" of the Straw Hat Pirates Sunshine is quite advanced, and the Sunshine from the Capital of Seven Waters is much better than the performance of most warships in the navy.

Vegapunk is attached to the World Government and the Navy, on the one hand, for its own security considerations, and on the other hand, to facilitate its own experimental research with the help of the huge forces of these two parties.

The funds, venues, materials, etc., that the navy and the world government can provide are not comparable to other forces.

Even if he didn't explain it thoroughly, Vegapunk would be able to know, but what could an emerging force like Jiguo Yuanyi provide for his experiment?

In the new navy, Rao is a big bull like him, I'm afraid he can't study anything.

Vega Punk had actually made a decision in his heart, but he still asked towards Ji Guoyuanyi. He is a person who cherishes his life, and if he succeeds to the country, he doesn't mind wronging himself.

"If you don't agree, then you don't agree."

"I hope that the people who join the new navy are like-minded people, 'comrades', and if you force them, it will be meaningless."

"In this way, it will make the internal instability."

Hearing this, Vegapunk secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but his face was still impassive.

And several new navies beside Ji Guoyuanyi also showed bright smiles at this time.

"Still."

"Dr. Vegapunk, my invitation, I think you can seriously consider it."

"I don't think others know what the top of the world government is, but with your intelligence, can you not understand it?"

"To cooperate with them is to seek skin with the tiger."

"Our new navy, at this stage, may be able to provide limited help for your experiments, but in two years, everything will definitely be different."

"Of course, and more importantly, I can keep you safe."

Ji Guoyuanyi showed a gentle smile on his face, and when he heard Ji Guoyuanyi's words, Vegapunk's face really showed a contemplative look.

As Ji Guoyuan said, the world government is not a good role. Vegapunk is well aware that his research on the bloodline factor is a major focus on the world government, and when his research is completely completed, I am afraid, it will be his death.

But a person like Vegapunk would not study it at all because he was afraid of death, which was what he hoped for all his life.

Explore the mystery of human blood, create androids, and when the experiment is successful, he will be able to mass-produce powerful soldiers, so that there will be no more pirates in this world.

It was his wish, but.

Ji Guoyuan fell into deep thought when he saw Vegapunk, and continued:

"Dr. Vegapunk, in fact, I know that you are a person with a heart and ideals."

"Your purpose in doing this research is to make the world more peaceful."

"But. With all due respect, you have excellent scientific research capabilities, but with your own strength, I am afraid that there is no way to protect the results of your experiments. ”

"No matter how ambitious your vision is, you can't guarantee that your experiments will be used where they should be."

"I think. The world government has told you with bloody history that the world, under their leadership, is no longer going to be better. ”

"Your research results, in the end, will only become a tool for the Celestial Dragons to oppress and enslave the people."

"If you think that those Draconians on the Holy Land can make good use of the results of your experiments and do something for the benefit of the world. Then I think you may be a little naïve. ”

Nitroglycerin doesn't just make it a dynamite, can it?

Jiguoyuanyi's words made Vegapunk's heart tremble, and what Jiguoyuanyi said was actually a concern that he had forcibly ignored all along.

Whenever he thought of this, he would secretly tell himself that there was Zefa in the Navy Headquarters, and there was a kind and righteous navy like Tsuru, and his achievements would be put to good use after all, and he deliberately didn't think about the Five Old Stars and didn't think about the Tianlong people.

But Ji Guoyuanyi's words turned out all the deep concerns in Vegapunk's heart.

"People with lofty ideals don't need any persuasion at all."

"He will make the most correct choice for the ideal in his heart."

Looking at Vegapunk's expression, Ji Guoyuan lowered his eyelids slightly, quietly waiting for the other party's reply.
