Chapter 245 Steel Battleship



"Hello, hello!"

"Hello, hello!"

"Hello, hello!"

Judge's expression suddenly changed, and he shook hands with Walpo and the other two enthusiastically.

This left several people present confused.

Didn't you look so arrogant just now?

Why did you suddenly become enthusiastic?

However, Jiazhi was thinking in his heart that such powerful tools must be used well in the future.

In this way, many of his ideas that were previously unrealizable will now have a great chance of being realized one by one.

For a scientist, nothing could be more satisfying than this.

Although Jiazhi is best at subjects such as biochemistry.

However, as one of the world's top scientists, he also has high attainments in the field of mechanics.

"Come on, let's go take a look at other factories. Today really opened my eyes."

Jiazhi walked out with great interest, as if he was taking over as the host.

Luo Heng had no objection to this, but was happy to see it happen.

The less this father-in-law considers himself an outsider, the more dedicated he will be to research and development.

"What is this thick pipe used for?"

After visiting several factories in succession, Jiazhi became interested in a thick and extremely thin pipe on the side of the road.

"This is the pipeline used to transport oil."

"We used it to connect the oil fields a hundred miles away directly to the refinery here."

"Oil, after being refined and processed in a refinery, becomes the raw material that powers our engines."

"This natural liquid substance, formed over 10,000 years, has extremely high utilization value and can be said to be liquid gold."

"We've only refined it superficially, which is a huge waste."

"There are many other uses that cannot be developed due to insufficient scientific research capabilities."

"But the good thing is, after my investigation, I found out."

"Alabasta's oil reserves are enough to last for thousands of years, no problem at all."

"Alabasta is such a magical place."

“On the surface, he looks destitute.”

“But there are such rich treasures buried underground that no one knows about.”

"If it hadn't been discovered and developed by you."

"These precious natural resources will likely remain buried for countless more years."

After hearing Luo Heng's explanation, Jiazhi was inspired.

Next, Luo Heng took Jiazhi to visit the rest of the factories here one by one.

Jiazhi just kept praising and couldn't come up with any better suggestions.

This made Luo Heng feel a little disappointed.

"Your production process here is very well organized and complete."

"My suggestion for changes would just be superfluous."

"This is very good, completely sufficient."

"All we have to do now is develop a perfect finished product and put it into mass production here."

Seeing Luo Heng's expression, Jiazhi hurried to explain, but he was afraid that his son-in-law would think he was hiding something.

"Father-in-law, since you have the design drawings of the steel battleship."

"How about we build one nearby?" Luo Heng smiled indifferently and suddenly said.

"Shouldn't ships be built in docks near the sea?"

"If you build a boat in the desert, how do you get it to the sea?"

"This kind of warship weighs thousands of tons."

Jiazhi looked at Luo Heng as if he were an idiot.

I was still muttering in my heart: "Isn't this kid quite smart? How could he say such stupid things?"

"Who says you can't build a ship in the desert?"

"Building ships here has many more advantages than at the seaside."

"As for the transportation problem that my father-in-law is worried about, that's a trivial matter at all." Luo Heng said with a sneer.

"Oh? Tell me, what exactly is the good idea?" asked Jiazhi curiously.

“First, the raw materials are readily available on site.”

“We can produce any parts here.”

"Secondly, it saves the time and other expenses of building a dock on the seashore."

"Thirdly, building a ship here doesn't worry about being discovered by the World Government's spies."

"But at the seaside, you can't say for sure."

"As for the transportation issue that my father-in-law is worried about."

"The golden lion who possesses the power of the Float-Float Fruit is now one of us."

"With his ability, let alone a warship of several thousand tons."

"Even an island weighing tens of millions of tons can be moved easily."

"Even I myself can transport the ship over."

Luo Heng's words instantly cheered Jia Zhi up:

"Yes, if that's the case, then building ships here is indeed better than at the seaside."

"Let's go, let's find a quiet place. I'll go draw the blueprint."

Jiazhi is also a decisive person. After Luo Heng dispelled his concerns, he immediately couldn't wait to get started.

Luo Heng's mouth curled up slightly.

I thought to myself, please give me a dozen more fathers-in-law like this.

At Jiazhi's urging, the group quickly arrived at the office building in the industrial park.

Under the silent gaze of the crowd, Judge spent more than two hours and finally drew the battleship design that had existed in his mind for decades.

The appearance of this battleship is about 70% similar to the navy's existing warships, but its displacement is only 3,000 tons.

For a metal warship, this displacement is indeed a bit small.

The weapon system above is still the most traditional artillery in the world of pirates, nothing new.

Power is provided by a steam internal combustion engine.

The reason why it can only remain on the drawing board is because coal resources are extremely scarce in the pirate world.

It is difficult to meet the large-scale use of such warships.

Moreover, the ocean in the pirate world is so vast that the little coal on the ship is not enough to support it in ocean voyages.

"It's too small. Such a small warship has no deterrent effect at all."

"It can only be used as a frigate."

"What I want is a steel behemoth with a displacement of tens of thousands of tons and armed to the teeth."

"Large-caliber naval guns must be installed in all directions."

Luo Heng couldn't help but think of the giant battleships that were at their peak during World War II.

If the main body is made of Wabo alloy, it is estimated that only someone with the strength of a general or above can cause serious damage to it.

If his fleet was composed entirely of such monsters with explosive firepower.

It can definitely sweep across all the sea forces in this world with ease. It is simply invincible.

"Son-in-law, it's not impossible to transform it into a giant ship of tens of thousands of tons."

"But we should start with small ships."

"The cost of trial and error will also be lower."

"Once the technology for small ships matures, most of the problems with large warships will also be solved."

Jiazhi hurriedly tried to persuade him that his son-in-law's idea was too radical.

There is no way to start with the biggest one.
