Pirate: I can simplify skills.

"Tonight, we will eat so much that we will never get drunk again if we have the chance!"

"Okay, let's drink water instead of wine and give Lieutenant General Lu Chen a drink!"

"A toast to Lieutenant General Lu Chen!"

"..."

As he said this, everyone raised their water glasses to offer Lu Chen a drink.

Of course Lu Chen did not break the promise. He raised the water glass in his hand and said with a smile: "Come on! Cheers!"

"cheers!"

"eat!"

Everyone drank the water in one gulp and began to eat and drink.

Lu Chen and Ai En sat together, eating and drinking happily, everyone was talking and laughing.

……

Meanwhile, the Marshal's Office.

"Hmph! Bastard!"

Even though the doors and windows were closed, Sakaski could still hear the sounds of talking and laughing coming from the canteen not far away. He was still working in the office, but those people were still happily eating there.

The most important thing is that it's dinner time now, and he can't do anything to them at all.

Can't the navy still be fed?

Therefore, when he thought of this, Sakaski became extremely angry and gritted his teeth in anger.

After about an hour, the sound gradually died down.

Most of the navy returned to their posts, and only those shipwrights who would follow Lu Chen to renovate the Desolo remained.

They are now under Lu Chen's management for the time being, so naturally they don't have to do anything else.

At this time, the boatmen stood straight in front of Lu Chen and shouted respectfully: "Lieutenant General Lu Chen!"

These boatmen are quite old and have been at the naval base for quite some time. When it comes to boatmen, the older and more experienced they are, the better.

They had long admired Lu Chen, the navy supernova. They heard that Lu Chen needed help from a boatman, so they all signed up enthusiastically.

"Well, you are all good. I may have to work hard for you in the future." Lu Chen glanced at their attributes and nodded with satisfaction.

Although the skills of the boatmen present were not SSS-level, most of them were A-level and above. There was also an old white-haired boatman with SS+ level who would honorably retire from the Navy in a few months.

"Lieutenant General Lu Chen was joking, these are what we should do."

"Even so, I am about to retire. I want to renovate a better and bigger ship before retiring. This also gives me the opportunity."

"It seems that each of us has a chance to make history!"

"..."

Everyone was talking a lot, their faces full of excitement.Because they all know that the ship that is about to be renovated is the legendary ship built entirely of gold, the Desolo.

"Okay, everyone, go back and have a good rest. We will gather at the port early tomorrow morning. I will take you to a nearby island to start rebuilding the Desolo." Lu Chen said with a smile.

"Okay, Lieutenant General Lu Chen."

After saying that, everyone went back to prepare for tomorrow's trip.

After everyone left, Lu Chen looked at Ain behind him and asked, "How are you preparing for tomorrow?"

"Everything is ready, don't worry." Ain smiled.

"Thank you. I may have to work hard on you these two days."

"It's okay. This is what I am willing to do. Aren't you also very nice to me?"

"Haha, then I will be nicer to you!"

"Okay!"

"..."

……

The next morning.

After Lu Chen and Ain got up, they took all the boatmen at the ferry to the island where the Desolo was parked.

As soon as they landed on the island, they began to carefully observe the magnificent ship in front of them, the Desolo, which was covered in gold and was pulled by two huge turtles.

"It's such a big ship. I just took a look at it from a distance yesterday. Now that I look at it, I realize it's really big."

"Yeah, I didn't expect this ship to be so big."

"It's really too big. If we want to renovate it, I don't know how long it will take."

"..."

Lu Chen smiled and shouted to them: "Everyone, take a look. You may need to worry about the renovation. This is the drawing I came out last night. Take a look."

"Ok."

"I'll take a look!"

"..."

The boatmen came forward one after another, wanting to see the drawings of Lu Chen's transformation plan.

As a boatman with A-level shipbuilding skills, Lu Chen's drawing ability is still good. Plus, he has Pluto's drawings, so he can learn from them.

According to Pluto's modification, the capabilities of its hull in all aspects will naturally not be bad.

"Lieutenant General Lu Chen, your drawing is good, but some parts still need to be changed."

"Yes, the overall plan is good, but the details still need to be refined."

"agree!"

"..."

After reading it, everyone expressed their opinions.

Lu Chen naturally accepted their opinions readily, "In that case, let's get started!"

"it is good."

With an order, everyone began to make intensive modifications. Some revised the drawings, while others prepared equipment, dismantled the Desolo, and collected materials...

Now the problem that the entire Desolo needs to solve is the overall load-bearing capacity. The load-bearing capacity is too large. Only by solving the load-bearing problem can the Desolo be faster, or without the need to drag it with two giant turtles.

After all, if someone killed those two turtles, wouldn't the ship be unable to sail?

It's still somewhat tasteless.

The first step is to reduce the weight of the Desolo.

The second step is to completely renovate and install new power on the Desolo. In addition to the sailboat, there is also electrical equipment.You must know that Lu Chen has the Thunder Fruit, and he can still use it as long as others don't know about it.

The third step is coating and decoration.

The current De Soro is somewhat too luxurious and does not meet the standards of the Navy, so the outer shell of the De Soro needs to be properly transformed.

In order to get more equipment, Lu Chen called some Vegapunk and bought a lot of equipment from him, probably in exchange for gold.

Anyway, they are all dismantled from the Desolo, and Vegapunk also needs a lot of funds to conduct experiments. If someone gives him money, he must want it.

As a result, the transformation of the Desolo was carried out in an orderly manner.

Lu Chen was improving his shipbuilding level while participating in the transformation:

【Ding!Congratulations on the host's skill 'Shipbuilding' proficiency +1! 】

【Ding!Congratulations on the host's skill 'Shipbuilding' proficiency +1! 】

【Ding!Congratulations on the host's skill 'Shipbuilding' proficiency +1! 】

【Ding! ...]

You only need to knock on the wooden board to improve your proficiency, so Lu Chen did most of the work of knocking on the wooden board, which did not arouse the suspicion of others.

……

A month later.

The De Soro's dismantling work has just concluded.Fortunately, during this period, other preparations have been completed, and all that is left is to start the complete transformation.

So Lu Chen took the boatmen on the island to start the renovation work.

The whole island began to ding, ding, ding, ding, dong, and the fun never stopped. Lu Chen's 'shipbuilding' skills were also steadily improving, and he was upgraded to S level in one month.

It is best to upgrade the 'shipbuilding' technology to the SSS level in order to build Pluto, and he cannot do it alone. He has to find an opportunity to let more people participate, and it cannot be discovered by others. A difficult question.

……

Another two months have passed.

The transformation of the Desolo continues, but most of the work has been completed and she is now a powered sailing vessel.

someday.

Ain delivered meals to Lu Chen as usual. Looking at the completely new Desolo, he was stunned and said in surprise: "Lu Chen, can this still be regarded as the Desolo?"

"Of course not. From now on, the name of this ship will be Samsara, and it will be a ship exclusively for us." Lu Chen nodded with satisfaction.

He was very satisfied with the transformation of the ship.After all, it was a warship that he had personally transformed, and it was also the first warship that he had built by himself.

"our?"

Ain looked happy.

"Yes." Lu Chen nodded affirmatively.

Hearing this, Ain's cheeks turned red. He didn't expect Lu Chen to include him, "Thank you!"

"Thank you, you should have had a share."

"OK."

"How long will it take for the ship to be renovated?"

"Up to three months."
