Chapter 55： the deprecated naval science department

Just as Li Yan had just returned to the Eighteenth Branch, less than half a day later, Huang Yuan came!

Instead of riding on a warship, he used the power of the Glitter Fruit alone, and that's how he came.

After all, this is a secret mission, and it shouldn't be a big fanfare. That's why the Warring States period sent Kizaru to deal with it. He is the only one who can sneak here and come here without being discovered.

Otherwise, this matter does not need to dispatch an admiral at all.

"It's so strange, is this the Eighteen Branch? I'm not going to the wrong place, right?"

With a flash of light, Kiabou appeared above Corona Island, and then he spoke to himself in that unique and flat voice.

Various extremely modern buildings, complete military ports, shipyards and other facilities, plus the buildings that are obviously training grounds, the sailors are still holding a firearm that they have never seen before, and they are training target.

Although I have read the report, it doesn't look like the branch that was abandoned a few months ago, right?

The most important thing is that in the sense of sight and color of the yellow monkey, the bullets fired by this kind of firearm, whether it is speed, power or accuracy, far exceed the standard firearms used by the marines of the headquarters, and can be fired continuously. ...

As an admiral in charge of scientific research at the headquarters, Kizaru knows very well what impact this kind of firearm will have on the situation at sea.

Not to mention other things, but in terms of combat power in the middle stratum, once all the navy soldiers are equipped with this kind of firearms, they will definitely crush the pirates.

Thinking of this, Huang Yuan also put away that salty fish face, and rarely showed a serious look.

at this time...

Bah...

A bullet was fired directly into the air, and hit the head of Kizaru with unparalleled precision, directly headshot...

Well, in fact, headshots are impossible. For a natural-type kiwi, this kind of attack is naturally not threatening, and the body directly and instinctively activates part of the elementalization.

The place where it hit turned into light directly, and the bullet passed right through as if it didn't hit anything.

However, this change made Kizaru a little confused.

I am an admiral of the navy, but is it okay to be shot in the head in a branch in the East China Sea?

Looking at the place where the bullets came from, a sailor in the training ground was raising his gun and aiming at him. On this side, a colonel also looked up at him with a faint smile on his face. meaning.

However, no matter how you look at this smile, you can feel the taste of game play in it.

Naturally, Kizaru knew this face, and when he activated his ability, it turned into a beam of light and shot towards the training ground.

"It's terrifying, Li Yan's brother greeted me with bullets as soon as I got here, but I almost died!"

"Stop deceiving people, it's no wonder it can hurt you!"

"Big big... General!"

Looking at Kizaru who was standing in front of him, Usopp noticed the other party's cape and shoulders.

I'll go, isn't this an admiral? The colonel said just now that someone was invading from the sky, and the target I shot was the admiral?

Ruined...

Colonel, isn't this tricking me?

Thinking of this, Usopp's legs were shaking wildly.

"It's not promising, isn't it just shooting a shot at the future, is it necessary to be afraid of this, give me a load of 200 kilograms to circle the island, and go immediately!"

Looking at Usopp's appearance, Li Yan said angrily.

However, after hearing Li Yan's words, Usopp was immediately excited, and quickly ran away with a load on his back.

"Li Yan, the navy soldiers under your command are really interesting."

Seeing Usopp running out of the training ground as if escaping for his life, Kizaru couldn't help but laugh.

However, he soon set his sights on those marines who were training on target.

To be precise, it was the Corona Type 18 rifle locked in their hands.

"How about it, as the first admiral to be shot in the head, what do you think of the performance of the Corona Type 18 rifle?"

"It's really scary, Li Yan, did you just shoot me for this?"

"Of course, it's better to experience it for yourself. Besides, you are a naturalist who keeps shouting what's terrible..."

Looking at Kizaru, Li Yan had a look of disgust.

"Let's go, it's inconvenient for others to listen to what's going on later, go to my office and talk!"

"it is good!"

------

A few minutes later, the two had arrived at Li Yan's office in the branch building.

"Hey, little brother Li Yan, your office design is really special!"

Looking at the huge floor-to-ceiling windows in the room and the very modern decoration style, Kizaru couldn't help but his eyes lit up, and he even wondered if he wanted to ask Li Yan, who designed this, and he was going to invite him to his headquarters as well. Office under renovation.

"Wait a minute, in order to better talk about the next thing, I'll call someone over."

With that said, Li Yan picked up the phone bug.

BLU BLU BRU...

"This is the Firearms Research Institute, I'm Levin!"

"Levine, come to my office with the design drawings of the Corona Type 18 rifle!"

"Yes, Colonel!"

Hanging up the phone, Li Yan just wanted to say hello to Kizaru, but found that he was staring at a booklet on his desk, his eyes emitting a terrifying light.

And on the cover of that booklet, it says...

Late, Absence, One Thousand Perfect Reasons (Volume 1)

Well, it's no wonder that Kiabou suddenly felt wrong. Li Yan said he understood.

"Li Yan, this... this is it?"

"You said this, I wrote it when I was bored some time ago. It is a summary of some of my naval training experience. If General Kizaru finds it useful, you can use it for reference!"

"That's it, then I'll take it back and study it carefully to see what I can learn from it!"

Kizaru said solemnly, and then carefully brought the booklet over.

Even if he changed his face like a Sichuan Opera, he held it in his hands as if he were treating a sacred object with a sincere expression on his face.

This scene made Li Yan's mouth twitch.

"Okay, let's get down to business now. About two months ago, a research team that escaped from the Vinsmoke family came to the Eighteen Branch to ask for asylum."

"From the Vinsmoke family?"

Hearing Li Yan talking about serious business, Kizaru is also serious.

He naturally knows about the Vinsmoke family, whose scientific research strength is still in the world and can definitely be ranked in the top three.

And according to Li Yan's words, he now has a scientific research team from the original Wensmok family?

So that new type of firearm is...

"That's right, the full name of that new type of rifle is Corona 1518 rear-pulled rifle, or 18-type rifle for short, but I prefer to call it Corona 18-type rifle."

As if seeing through what Kizaru was thinking, Li Yan said.

"The overall length is 1050 mm, the weight without ammunition is 4 kg, the theoretical effective range is 600 meters, the magazine capacity is 8 rounds, and the muzzle velocity is 730 m/s..."

"At the same time, the rifle uses a new type of bullet, which relies on the rifling designed in the barrel to enable the bullet to rotate at a high speed after being shot..."

Barbara Barbara, Li Yan briefly explained the parameters of firearms.

And listening to this, Kizaru had a look of shock on his face.

If what Li Yan said is true, then the so-called Corona Type 18 is not only better than the current standard rifle, but a lot better.

"Has this gun been battle tested?"

"Well, this time we went to sea with 30 trial-made rifles of the 18th type. After several actual combat tests on pirates, we can come to the conclusion that in this area of ​​​​the East China Sea, absolutely no one can block a shot. Bullets, even those 12 million pirates!"

hiss...

Although there are not many powerful pirates in the East China Sea, there are still some 10 to 20 million pirates.

If it is a standard naval rifle, even many millions of pirates are not afraid, but Li Yan said that in this area of ​​the East China Sea, absolutely no pirate can stop a bullet from a Corona-type 18 rifle. UU Reading

The difference here, I can imagine how big it is.

This is simply better than what Kizaru expected when he was at the training ground before!

dong dong dong...

Just when Kizaru was thinking about this, there was a knock on the door of the office.

"Come in!"

"Colonel!"

"Well, General Kizaru, let me introduce to you, this is Levin, the leader of the Corona Type 18 Rifle R&D team!"

"It's terrifying, to be able to create such a powerful firearm, let's ask the team leader, are you interested in joining the Naval Science Department?"

Seeing the developers of new firearms, Kizaru immediately entered the digging mode.

However, Levin remained unmoved.

"Sorry, General Kizaru, after we got the protection of Colonel Li Yan, we have sworn that we will follow the Colonel for the rest of our lives!"

"But there is no special research equipment here, and the Naval Science Department has the best research environment in the world. Would you consider it again?"

"Sorry, please allow us to stay in the Eighteen Branch!"

Very firmly rejected Kizaru again, but in fact Levin was very disdainful of the best scientific research environment in the world when he said to Kiwi.

That is the scientific research environment of the Eighteen Branches that you have never seen before!

As a research madman who has seen the underground research institute of the Eighteenth Branch, unless he has a brain cramp, he will leave the Eighteenth Branch and go to the Naval Science Department!

"General Yellow Ape, it's not good for you to dig people in front of me. I feel that the second half of the book just now has no inspiration, and I may not be able to write it!"

"..."

Threat, this is a blatant threat, and Kizaru is in a bad mood all of a sudden.
