Pirate: I am the nephew of Akainu

Chapter 142 Longing for Technology
Farewell to Brook, Hughes and Gal who wandered the sea.

Cal carefully asked: "My lord, what is your next plan?"

Hughes didn't answer, but glanced at Gal lightly, and Gall quickly lowered his head in fright.

"I'm not asking about the whereabouts of adults, but just want to know what I can do for adults."

Hughes shook his head: "Don't be too nervous, I'm not as scary as you imagined."

He looked at the sea in the distance and said, "It's just that I don't know where I'm going."

Gal looked at Hughes with some puzzlement. This world is huge, with four sea areas and two great routes before and after. There are not too many places to go.

How could I not know where to go.

Of course, he didn't dare to say it directly, but whispered in his heart, it's really hard to guess the mind of a big man.

It's hard to guess the minds of big shots, that's because they are not in their environment, and they don't know what they need to face.

For example, Hughes, as long as his current identity appears in public, the eyes of the world government will follow closely.

As long as he steps into the new world, the four One Piece will pay attention to his every move.

Hughes' victory over the Golden Lion in the East China Sea has spread all over the world. Unlike what he did before, the Golden Lion is top-notch in terms of status and strength.

The pirates know that there is a rear admiral named Hughes in the navy, and they also know that he is not inferior to the admiral in combat power.

It will not be so easy to do something sneaky in the future.

Besides, although Hughes came out in the name of relaxation, he couldn't really worry about nothing.

Find an uninhabited island and take a vacation no matter what, everything is waiting for him to do.

Sighing softly, Hughes moved his eyes to the sky. He hasn't been to Sky Island for a long time, and he doesn't know what's going on there.

"I'm going to Sky Island." Hughes said to Gall.

Gal originally wanted to tell me that I will go with you, and that Lai would feel his presence beside Hughes, but he heard that Hughes was going to Sky Island.

Thinking of that unpleasant flight experience, he hurriedly shook his head and gave up this seemingly tempting idea.

"Are you going alone?" Cal asked cautiously.

Hughes nodded: "I'll go alone, you can ask someone to help me pay attention to the pirate named Marshall D. Teach."

Gal breathed a sigh of relief, just don't let him go to Sky Island.

He called a subordinate with a wave and asked him to prepare a pen and paper and write the name that Hughes said to him to make sure that he understood correctly.

This is also where Hughes appreciates Gal.

Things are more rigorous, One Piece World rarely has the same name, but it is not completely absent.

Seeing the name written by Gal, Hughes corrected two words, and then said: "His current name may not have a D. If you hear Marshall Tich's name, it may be him."

Hughes described to Gal: "The more notable feature is the black beard, and his identity, he used to be a member of the Whitebeard Pirates."

Blackbeard Tiki was not well-known in the Whitebeard Pirates before, and not many people knew his name.

So Hughes couldn't tell Gal from the beginning that Blackbeard Tiki used to be a member of the Whitebeard Pirates, this can only be used as a means of identification.

"I see." Gal nodded: "If there is news about this person, I will ask someone to follow up as soon as possible."

The fighting power of the family organization has always been weak, and Gal did not propose the idea of ​​controlling Tiqi, and telling Hughes the news of him as soon as possible was the only thing they could do.

Hughes hummed, and stopped talking.

There are several considerations in paying attention to the news of Blackbeard.

The first is the task assigned by Marshal Warring States to Hughes, to find a suitable opportunity to kill Blackbeard.

This is official business on the bright side.

The second is Hughes' own needs. He wants to find out why Tiki can use two devil fruits, and whether he can learn from them.

This matter is very important, and Hughes still has the thunder fruit in his hand.

In the view of Hughes, the thundering fruit of the natural system is not much inferior to the shaking fruit.

As for the performance gap between Enil and Whitebeard, it is obviously a human problem, and Enil is not that bad.

It's just that he played a little early, and happened to meet Luffy who was carrying the halo of the protagonist again, so he accidentally went off the assembly line early.

Since we are going to Sky Island, the boat has to turn around to leave the Devil's Triangle and go to Gaya Island.

Gaya Island is the coordinates of the Sky Island on the ground. Only in the waters near Gaya Island can Hughes fly into the sky to find the location of the Sky Island.

The voyage takes time, but fortunately, Gal and the others have a permanent record pointer on Gaya Island, which greatly shortens the voyage time.

As the permanent pointer is a strategic material, Gal did not buy much, only some important islands.

Even so, it takes a lot of money to manage the black market relationship, so that there is a way to buy permanent pointers.

Hughes looked at the permanent pointer in Gal's hand. Ironically, it was military supplies in the hands of the navy.

The munitions that he, a major general in his headquarters, is difficult to get, can be found in the black market of the Chambord Islands, which shows that the interior of the Navy is not as clean as he saw.

Especially in the area of ​​military supplies.

The world government intervenes in the navy to control the military supply, and even the Warring States has no way to intervene too much.

It took them three days to arrive at Gaya Island day and night from the Devil's Triangle.

The ship docked at the port, and the staff on the pier warmly welcomed them.

Because of Sky Island, Gaya Island is very important to family organization, and most of the shops and public facilities on this island are controlled by family members.

So after seeing Hughes and the others, the staff on the island will be so enthusiastic.

After docking the ship at the port, Hughes took Gal off the ship and went straight to the hotel on the island.

In the same familiar restaurant, Hughes sat at the bar and ordered two cherry pies.

Life at sea cannot be so satisfactory, and family organization is not an institution for pleasure.

Even if he wanted to give Hughes a good experience, the facilities on the boat did not support it. After a week of sea fish, Hughes felt a little sick to his stomach.

Thinking about going to Sky Island soon, and the meals of Sky Island people are not much better, Hughes decided to relax his stomach before thinking about going to Sky Island.

After the meal, Hughes did not stop at Gaya Island, but found a sparsely populated place to fly high into the sky.

It disappeared into the clouds in a blink of an eye.

The last time Hughes came to Sky Island was a long time ago.

In fact, the time span is not too long, but there are many things that Hughes has been busy with. When he came to Sky Island again, he felt a sense of a world away.

Seeing that it was Hughes, the staff at the border of Sky Island didn't dare to neglect, and hurried out of the duty room to greet Hughes in person.

"God, you are back."

Hughes nodded, ignored his interest, and spread his wings to fly to the island of gods.

Since the Island of the Gods was returned to the Sandia by Hughes, many Sky Islanders also chose to settle on the island.

But in the face of the harsh ecological environment, after the novelty of the land passed, he chose to return to live in Angel Island.

The angels who are staying on the island of the gods are the artisans of the angel race called by Ganfort. They are developing the technology left by the moon people on the angel island.

Therefore, after Hughes arrived at Sky Island, his first goal was the Island of God.

The island of the gods is not much different from when he left. Most of the entire island is still covered by forests, but there is a very modern machinery factory in a small area in the center of the island.

This is the fruit of Ganfort's efforts.

When Hughes was there, the mechanical workshop was really a draft. Unexpectedly, these days, Ganfort has already created a prototype.

It has to be said that the people of Sky Island who don't like disputes and battles are still very talented in scientific research.

Hughes flew towards the center of the island, and before he reached the island, he felt a sense of danger with his knowledge and domineering aura.

Dodging slightly to the right, several flames flew past Hughes, which surprised Hughes.

The speed of these flames is much faster than that of artillery, and ordinary people may not be able to dodge them.

After the first wave of attacks, Hughes no longer felt threatened by his knowledgeable arrogance.

When they came to the center of the island and landed, Ganfort greeted him with an empty islander.

"God, I surprised you." Ganfort half-kneeled on the ground and said, "It was the defense system we developed just now, and the mind-net discrimination device has not been completed yet, which is why we misjudged you as an enemy."

The Sky Islander quickly knelt down and said with tears in his eyes, "Please God forgive my mistake, give me another chance."

They are still living under the high-handed rule of Enilo, and they are very afraid of such offensive behavior.

Seeing this, Hughes waved his hand: "It's okay, go get busy, Ganfur and I will come."

The people of Sky Island bowed to Hughes a few times as if they were being pardoned, and then left in fear.

"That's the artillery you developed recently. It's very good." Hughes motioned Ganfort to get up: "It's just this kind of thing, it doesn't have much effect. How is the communication technology I asked you to develop?"

Hughes has seen a lot of artillery technology, whether it is a naval artillery, or the Hades underground in Alabasta, even a pacifist who has not yet come out.

These technologies do little to improve the strength of individuals, and mainly serve large forces.

Even if the navy gets such a technology, it will not be of much use, because their financial and material resources are weak, and only the world government and the revolutionary army like this technology.

Compared with these, Hughes is looking forward to the development of communication technology.

"I know, these are just some gadgets made by the R&D staff to guard against large beasts on the island." Ganfort explained: "As for the communication technology you explained, we have developed it to a certain stage, and now we can To achieve long-distance communication, but need to establish a signal base station."

If radio communication technology wants to communicate over long distances, it needs a medium to help spread.

Laying lines is too unrealistic, and Hughes knows his own financial resources.

Compared with most of the strength, the family organization can be regarded as a local tyrant, but the financial resources spent to lay lines all over the world cannot be afforded by an organization at all.

At the very least, this kind of people's livelihood project can only be carried out with the country as the unit.

Especially in the natural environment of One Piece World, it is difficult to ensure that the lines will not be destroyed by large beasts, and maintenance and protection also require a lot of energy.

Therefore, at the beginning of research and development, Hughes asked Ganfort to study base station and satellite technology.

The scientific research of satellite technology is too difficult, even with the support of lunar technology, but the technology tree faults of the Sky Islanders are too serious, and it will take a long time to develop artificial satellites immediately.

As far as the signal base station project is progressing relatively smoothly, it is now ready for mass production.

Ganfort took Hughes to check the signal base station they built, which was not much different from the signal tower in Hughes' impression, and the volume was customized according to the required radiation distance.

The wider the coverage area, the larger the cell tower size.

Hughes is very satisfied with this. He doesn't need to build signal base stations all over the world. He only needs to make a few information networks to revitalize the connections of family organizations.

At present, the biggest problem with family organization is the lack of information.

The disadvantages of phone bug communication are too great, and the price is too high to be popularized by every member.

Even if Gall copied Gulan Tezolo later, he had no worries about money, and he couldn't buy too many phone bugs.

Because this thing is a semi-controlled product, the biggest seller is the world government.

There is no big problem with small batch purchases, but large batch purchases will be blacklisted by the CP organization.

So to this day, only a few important members of the family organization have phone bugs, and they all contact Gal with a single line.

Hughes asked: "The group of people I brought, do any of them have mastered base station technology?"

Ganfur nodded and said: "Two people will build base station components, and the others will assemble base stations. If you want to bring technology to Qinghai, you need to produce components in Sky Island."

Having said that, Ganfort showed Hughes a tour of their machine shop.

In those workshops, there are several sets of mature mechanical assembly lines. Sky Island people stand in front of the mechanical table to operate, which looks very sci-fi.

Gamfor took Hughes to a production line where base station components were being processed on a conveyor belt.

"As you can see, if you want to produce base stations on a large scale, you need to establish such a production line in Qinghai. So far, only a part of Kongdao people can build such a mature industrial system."

Ganfur said with emotion: "It's hard to believe that our ancestors possessed such powerful power."

Hughes nodded. After visiting the machinery factory, he also found some not-so-optimistic situations.

The family members he brought with him could keep up with the scientific research speed of the Sky Island people at a younger age, while some older family members could only help them.

It's not that Ganfur and the others are isolated on purpose, but that the people of Sky Island are too talented in scientific research, and these things seem to be engraved in their bones.

With a little study, you can master the technology left by the lunar people.

"You pick some Sky Islanders, and I'll take them to Qinghai later." Hughes said to Ganfort, "Tell them not to worry, since I can take them down, I can bring them back."

Ganfur nodded, and he also supported Hughes' decision.

Scientific research needs material support, and the materials in the island of gods have already limited the speed of scientific research, and a wider scientific research space is needed.

With the advancement of scientific research and technology, Ganfur also knows the reasons for the decline of ancestors' scientific and technological technology.

Sky Island doesn't have enough materials for research, and many things need to be obtained from God's Island.

This is also the reason why they fought against the Shandia hundreds of years ago. Their desire for land comes from their longing for science and technology.
