Pirates: I built a super navy city

Coke...

Power system?

"Luo Lan, is it the Coke that Tina knows?"

Tina was confused.

She knew about Coke.

Although she didn't drink it often, she drank it quite a few times when she went to a restaurant.

But how did this thing become the power of the new warship?

"It should be, maybe... probably that one?"

In fact, Luo Lan really didn't know.

Although he knew that there was a group in the Science Department that specialized in researching new power.

But he really didn't know what kind of power they were researching.

Who would have thought that Franky's Coke power would be developed?

"Silas, how efficient is this power?"

"If it is only used for sailing, a bottle of Coke is enough to support a large warship to sail 300 nautical miles!"

"So much?"

Luo Lan was also shocked.

300 nautical miles a bottle of Coke?

Is it so awesome?

It is indeed one of the original black technologies in the pirate world...

"Colonel, it is still in the initial stage, and there is huge room for development in the future!"

"You mean, this thing can be improved?"

"Yes, and there is huge room for improvement!"

Awesome!!!

Luo Lan secretly gave a thumbs up.

In the past, I was still thinking, if I didn't go to Alabasta to see if there is any oil.

But now, with this thing, what oil do I need!!!

"Roy, keep going!!"

"Let me see how much surprise you can give me later!"

Luo Lan is in a good mood.

"Yes, Colonel!"

"Everyone should have noticed that there are no sails on this battleship, but propellers. This is also the inspiration I got from Tana!"

While talking, Roy changed a design drawing.

The necessary force is generated by the coke power device, and then through a series of complex mechanisms, it finally drives the two sets of propellers at the bottom of the ship to rotate.

"What speed can it reach?"

This is the question that Luo Lan is most concerned about.

"The design cruising speed is 22 knots, and the maximum speed is 31 knots!"

"What about the range?"

"The power unit is maintained every three months and overhauled every two years. In addition, as long as the Coke is not exhausted, it can sail all the time!"

"Very good!"

Luo Lan was very satisfied.

Next, Roy talked for a long time.

He introduced the entire ship in detail.

After he finished speaking, he gave the seat to Silas.

Next is the weapons, which Silas can talk about better!

"Colonel, the weapons are mainly provided by the second group of our science department. The main guns are two sets of twin 180mm caliber cannons. These are also two groups of newly developed naval guns, which have the advantages of long range and great power."

"And the secondary guns are still the results of the second group, twelve 105mm caliber dual-purpose guns."

"In addition, the heavy machine guns just developed by the third group will also be deployed in large quantities on this warship!"

Awesome!

Luo Lan shouted in his heart again.

Not only has it entered the era of ironclad ships, but it has even developed cannons?

In addition, dual-purpose secondary guns and heavy machine guns are also available?

It feels that it won't be long before the Rod 1518 type, which has only been equipped for more than two months, will be lost...

"Kailo, how long will it take to build one?"

"Colonel, we have never built this kind of ship before. The first batch may be a little slower. It is estimated that it will take about a month, and at most two ships will be started at the same time."

After thinking for a while, Kailuo gave a preliminary estimate.

This is different from the traditional shipbuilding industry in the pirate world. It requires the cooperation of several departments to complete.

After all, those power systems, control systems, and weapon systems...

He can't build them.

"Have you calculated the cost?"

"Yes, Colonel, if you only calculate the material cost, each ship is about 380 million Baileys!"

"What, so cheap?"

Luo Lan's eyes widened instantly.

He didn't think 3.8 was too expensive, on the contrary, it was too cheap.

You know, just the medium-sized warships of the Navy Headquarters...

That's just a 2,000-ton sailing ship, which costs a full 100 million Baileys.

And now he is building a warship that is twice the tonnage of a large warship and is made of steel.

Only 380 million Baileys?

"Ahem, Colonel... Wood, especially the good wood used to build warships, is more expensive than steel!!!"

Hearing this, Luo Lan suddenly realized.

Yes, for example, in the original novel, the ship of the protagonists cost 300 million Baileys just for the keel and some key parts of the Adam wood.

This does not include other woods. After all, Aspagu and Franky paid for all the expenses. Otherwise,...

The whole ship can't be built for 500 million.

Although the navy's large warships are not so extravagant as to use Adam wood, they definitely won't be bad.

After all, if the wood is too bad, it can't withstand the damage when the ship's guns fire.

In this way, 380 million per steel warship without expensive wood is reasonable.

"Start work immediately. I'll approve the funds if you submit a request!"

"Yes, Colonel!"

Good guy, I was thinking of going to Nami to get a few hundred million for myself.

As a result, I haven't started yet, and 760 million will be spent on just two warships!

If I go to get more, I guess the normal operation of the branch will be in trouble, after all...

Branch 157 has more than 3,000 people!

Forget it, I'll think of other ways to get points! !

------

That afternoon.

When Silas and others took the note signed by Luo Lan to ask for money.

Nami was furious.

"What, 760 million Bailey?"

"Do you think I run a bank?"

"I'm telling you, if you don't have Bailey, you'll lose your life!!"

Fortunately, Tina came with a few people and pulled Nami aside to talk for a long time.

She reluctantly took out a full 760 million Bailey from the warehouse.

"Sister Tina, we agreed that next time Luo Lan comes to me to ask for Bailey, you have to help me beat him up!!"

"Don't worry, Tina keeps her word!"

After hearing this, Nami finally gave the 760 million Bailey to the three people.

Next.

Rhodes Shipyard, Ship Design Bureau, Science Department, Manufacturing Department, and Intelligence Department were all busy.

Various raw materials were continuously sent to designated locations through the black market.

Afterwards, the Intelligence Department got involved and secretly transported them to Rhode Island in batches.

However, Luo Lan forgot an important thing.

Bru bru bru...

In the office, the Den Den Mushi suddenly rang.

"I'm Luo Lan!"

"I'm almost out of the doldrums. I'll be there in two hours at most!"

Click...

Just one sentence, and then the phone was hung up.

Damn it...

How could I have forgotten this?

Just by listening to the voice, Luo Lan knew who it was.

Vice Admiral of the Navy Headquarters, Gion.

And I heard that the headquarters had decided to promote her to a candidate for admiral, and even thought of a code name.

It seems to be Taotu?

Luo Lan jumped up.

With this woman's strength, once she uses the observation Haki, she can definitely cover most of Rhode Island.

By then, everything will be exposed.

Pick up the Den Den Mushi and dial it out.

Bulu Bulu Bulu...

"Who's looking for Tina?"

"Sister Tina, it's me!"

"What's the matter?"

"Sister Gion is here!"

"Come if you want to. Tina hasn't seen her for a long time. It's just right for us to have tea and reminisce!"

......

......

Luo Lan was speechless for a moment.

"Sister Tina, have you forgotten that our situation here can't be exposed!!"

"Hmm... It seems to be the case. What should we do now?"

Tina reacted and asked immediately.

"Quick, help me evacuate the entire branch and let them all go to the east of the island to wait. Even if Sister Gion's observation Haki is strong, it can't cover there!"

"No problem, but what about you?"

"Me? I'll take a few marines to dress up, and then go to the broken building outside to pretend!!!"

After saying that, Luo Lan hung up the phone.

He rushed out of the office directly!
