~： Five hundred and seventy-two

There is a technology that the Dark Night Pirates must acquire, and that is the artificial intelligence technology located in the infinite land, which is the "moon".

This matter has been planned for a long time, and now that everything has stabilized, it can be implemented.

It is impossible to go back and forth for half a year as originally calculated, this time is too long for them.

The main reason is that the "Proverbs" of the Ark is too large, and it requires a lot of energy to run it, and at the same time, the speed will be correspondingly slower.

This is not a war, and there is no need to transport hundreds of thousands of armies with the Ark Proverbs.

In general, it is an exploration team, not many in number.

To this end, the Dark Night Pirates redesigned and manufactured one according to the design drawings of the Ark Proverbs. The hull is 120 meters long. In addition to the wide deck, there is a huge warehouse below, storing a large amount of food.

In this way, under the high-speed operation of the energy supply device and the energy conversion device made by the Dark Night Pirates, the speed of the spacecraft will be four or five times as expected.

The round-trip time was directly compressed to more than a month.

There were not many people in the entire expedition team, only more than 20 people. The leader was naturally Enilu. In addition to preventing possible accidents, they also had the responsibility of supplying energy for the spacecraft.

Moreover, as the residents of the Sky Island, especially the residents of Bika Island who have preserved their inheritance well, there has always been a legend of the infinite land, which is said to be the destination of all of them.

As for the moon, the destination this time, Anilu naturally wanted to see it with his own eyes.

There are also robots who are also the most important tool people. They are all controlled by "Shar". Through the image transmission equipment, when they reach the moon, they will be able to see what it looks like on the moon. , issued an order to search for relics on the moon.

Without the knowledge of others, on a secret island in the windless belt, a modified spacecraft constantly flew high into the sky toward the bright moon in the sky.

A special island named Vermeyou, this island that originally belonged to the Golden Lion Shiki, now belongs to the Dark Night Pirates.

Using the ability of Annie's Bubble Fruit, combined with the original floating clouds under Vermeyou, the island has been relocated to a windless zone near the Dark Night Pirates.

The research on "IQ" plants has already begun. The main research is in many aspects. It is combined with the super gene medicine to create the 2.0 version, and the research on the evolution of all aspects of the human body.

For example, in terms of lifespan, based on the strong scientific and technological strength in a short period of time, there have been some achievements. If you continue to study the medicines that can prolong the lifespan of three or four years, the number will increase tenfold, and the world will be in your hands.

And through specific means, people can master special powers, such as thunder and lightning, to create warriors with special powers.

This kind of thing can be done. Humans are originally a kind of animals. By creating a special environment, external factors and influences stimulate the evolutionary factors in IQ plants, they can produce specific abilities as they wish.

Since the Beast Pirates want to create orc warriors as products under the artificial devil fruit.

The Dark Night Pirates can also create special combat units, and there are mechanical legions under their shelter. Moreover, these can be used on top of each other. If you can master lightning, flame, or other powers, who doesn't love it?

After these studies are completed, he has a powerful legion and interests, and he can unite most of the forces in the world. As long as the top combat power of the world government is eliminated, no one can stop him.

The huge scientific research team under the shelter is enough to support the future of the Dark Night Pirates. Today, there are thousands of main scientists in various projects within the Dark Night Pirates. Counting those research assistants and researchers, the entire research team is as high as 30,000.

This huge number, even so, the Dark Night Pirates still feel a little dissatisfied, there are too many things to study, and more talents are needed.

In this regard, the Dark Night Pirates have been actively cultivating and cultivating scientific research scholars. The number is not large, but the results are still there. Most of them serve as assistants or researchers in the research base, study with those scientists, accumulate knowledge, and reach a certain level. Host small projects yourself, then big projects.

Every once in a while, small exchange meetings will be set up within the research base, where they gather to drink tea, eat snacks, and more to exchange experiences, promote the outbreak of inspiration, and better solve problems.

Recruiting scientists, researchers, and superb doctors from the sea is what the Dark Night Pirates have been doing all the time. Like the big medical country, the Drum Kingdom, they were almost bald by the Dark Night Pirates. Years of background were swept away. The superb doctor Most were taken to the dark night sea.

I don't know how long it will take to recover.

Another major kingdom is Winter Island in the front of the New World, the future kingdom of Balkimore, the home of Vega Punk.

With world-leading technological strength, even children can carry out some mechanical transformations.

In the speculation of Titch and others, the future kingdom of Balkimore should be the descendant of the moon people, one of the branches of the moon people who came to the sea for many years, and inherited some of the technology of the moon people.

Many scientists under the protection of the Dark Night Pirates are from the future kingdom, and their scientific and technological projects are very attractive to these scientists.

In this world, the concept of scientific national boundaries is very weak, and there is no such thing as nationality at all. It is only an island of birth, a kingdom of birth.

So leaving his hometown is not a surprise. Some people leave and never come back. For example, for the red hair, his hometown is Xihai.

Enel's journey into space begins.

The situation in the sea is a bit delicate. The war between the navy and the Beast Pirates will start again soon. This time, it is not so easy for the Beast Pirates to win.

Everyone knows that the Red Devil Virus of the Beast Pirates is terrifying. Since the Navy dares to go to war again, there is naturally a way to deal with it. As long as there is an antidote, the threat of the Red Devil Potion is not so high.

As long as the antidote is researched, it can be manufactured in large quantities.

But one thing is that the navy needs to be cautious. The value of tens of thousands of antidote is not high. As the war continues, what if it is tens of millions?

This is also financially stressful for the Navy.

In the past, the Navy liked to throw money at war, but now, it is difficult to do so, and there is huge pressure on military spending.

In addition to the reduction in military spending given by the World Government, there are only 50 billion Baileys, and the impact after the battle with the Air Pirates has not passed.

Pensions, the construction of various destroyed naval branches, medical expenses, the purchase of manipulators from the Dark Night Pirates, the reconstruction of several naval fortresses in the New World in recent days, and the expansion and development of various naval branches in the Great Route.

The required funds add up to a terrifying amount. The military expenditure of the Navy alone is far from enough. It also needs additional support from the World Government, and the Navy itself earns some extra money to supplement it. This is barely enough.

This war could not have started without the financial support of the world governments.

Mobilization on all fronts requires substantial funds.

It is precisely because of this that the Navy Headquarters was so desperate when it heard about the terrifying economic income of the Dark Night Pirates.

This is not even comparable to the world government.

The additional income from the Navy and the World Government is very small today, and only a small amount has been developed in recent years, because most of them have been sold out in the difficult years after the Golden Sea War.

If not, the world government would be more relaxed and would not be so dependent on the franchised countries. Even if they reacted and regretted it, those sold industries would be difficult to recover. The franchised countries are watching, it is impossible to be as reckless as before. , we can only create some industries as much as possible to increase income.

Of course, secretly embezzling other people's industries is the basic operation of the world government, but it needs to be done more secretly. In addition, the tentacles don't dare to stretch too long.

The current world government is undoubtedly suffering from the "disease of poverty" and is about to become mad. Taking advantage of this opportunity, extravagance spreads in the world government again. Under the acquiescence of the Five Old Stars, the officials of the world government have begun to accumulate wealth again. .

After the cleansing of the World Government, internal officials began to have close contact with various forces, and it is normal to accidentally leak internal information.

Once you get out of the slump, it's easy to pick yourself up, whether it's the navy or the world government.

But some things cannot be changed. Even if it recovers, it cannot be compared with the world government before the Golden Sea War. The losses after the war are not trillions, but tens of trillions of Baileys can tell clearly, that is the legacy of eight hundred years. loss.

Under financial pressure, a long-term war is impossible, and it is very difficult to defeat the Beast Pirates. The purpose of the navy is only to gain an advantage in the war, show the strength of the navy, expand its prestige, shock the sea, and let them Look at the consequences of the shot against the gold in the sky, that's all.

In the case that their strength has not been restored, they are unwilling and unable to start a real war with the Beast Pirates.

The only way for the navy is to show an advantage in war as much as possible.

Now they can't grasp the world's speech. People in the world often watch wars through live broadcasts. It is impossible to use public opinion to deceive the people of the world.

In this regard, the Navy already has a more complete plan to target the Beast Pirates.

More adequate preparation, strategic deployment, and completion of the antidote are equivalent to breaking a claws of the Beast Pirates.

At the same time, knowing the power of the Beast Pirates, the forces sent by the navy will be stronger this time, and the number of powerful combat forces will be more, in order to break the balance and gain more advantages.

Regarding the deployment of the navy, even if the Beast Pirates did not have accurate information, they could probably guess that they also had their own ways to deal with it.

Even if they guessed that the navy had created an antidote, Quinn and the others didn't panic. The Red Devil virus was Quinn's masterpiece, so he knew how terrible it was.

He also has the antidote in his hand. Even if the navy makes it, the general effect is similar.

It would be a big mistake to simply think that taking an antidote will prevent you from being afraid of the Red Devil virus.

The antidote works, but what if the antidote runs out?

The essence of the antidote is to develop another virus against the Red Devil Virus. This virus is harmless to the human body.

That is to say, the virus in the antidote will be consumed. If you have been exposed to the Red Devil Virus many times, and the virus that can perish with the Red Devil Virus has died out, you will no longer be able to stop the Red Devil Virus.

Unless the antidote is used again.

And this is unpredictable, who knows when the antidote in his body will run out? In battle, if you are distracted, the next moment is the end of the corpse being separated.

Moreover, when the Red Devil virus broke out, they would not be able to control themselves at all, let alone take an antidote.

The process of his companions injecting the antidote for him is very dangerous, and he has to worry about whether he will be infected with the Red Devil virus again. The process of going back to get the antidote will weaken the overall combat power of the navy.

Compared with the outbreak at the beginning, the overall outbreak time of the Red Devil virus this time has only shifted to the back.

This, Quinn believes that the Navy does not know, he also accidentally learned this effect in the experiment.

Even if the navy knows, it doesn't matter, is it possible that everyone has several antidote on their backs? Will it shatter in battle, waiting for the antidote to run out? Go back to the back to get the antidote?

At most, the outbreak of the virus is prolonged, and this result will not change.

In addition, the Beast Pirates also have more preparations.

Thanks to the assistance of the World Government, the troubles in Wano country, and now Wano country does not have the energy to take action against the Beast Pirates, which makes the Beasts Pirates completely free, without worrying about internal harmony country stealing home.

This reduces their internal pressure a lot, and can naturally free up more powerful combat power to fight the navy on the front line.

The only ones to care about are the fur tribes eager to recapture their stolen Waypoint Stone.

These fur tribe members will be found as soon as they appear in the Kingdom of Barbarossa, and even so, there are still people sneaking in.

But just the fur tribe doesn't need the Beast Pirates' attention at all, and they don't dare to send people here in large numbers Besides, the number of fur tribes is scarce now, after the ravages of Kaido and the three, the overall The number is less than 20,000, and it has not recovered much in the past few years. On the contrary, hundreds of people have been lost in the process of trying to regain the Beacon Stone.

This is also the stubbornness of the fur tribe, and the hatred between the two sides is deeper.

With the return of Cat Viper and Inuarashi, it is a fact that the fur tribe's strength has increased, the Musket Team has been rebuilt, and the professor is domineering.

But one thing is that the fur tribe can't change, that is, the young and middle-aged fur tribes are basically wiped out, and most of the people who remain are the old and weak. When those young fur tribes grow up, it will take many years for the musket team to really develop. time.

To tell the truth, sending people to the Hundred Beast Pirates is just to die, so it is better to wait for a few years to come back when the strength is stronger.

The fur tribes also know this, they have sacrificed enough, and without the cooperation of the country, it is impossible to win the landmark stone by their own strength.

It can be said that the Beast Pirates are completely worry-free and devoted to the war.
