The South China Sea Sea Train Project can now be officially launched.
After bringing Tom back, Noah took Frankie and Iceberg home. Now whenever he has young children, he habitually brings them home.
After returning home, he found that Robin was not there, and his observation Haki was not found either. Big Bear told him that Robin went to Bica. The new historical text was sent to Bica by Long for the doctor to study.
Robin also went up as soon as possible and couldn't wait to study this special red stone tablet.
The main text of the road sign history... It has been a long time since I have seen the main text of history. This is also the reason why Noah no longer pays attention to it after his strength reaches a certain level.
His current strength is difficult to improve through the historical text, and he may pay more attention to the material of the text itself. He still has a swallow fruit in his hand that has not been processed. If he can succeed, it will be a leap forward in basic materials science.
Chapter 235: Discovery of the World
Noah took his hand away from the historical text and his expression became very strange, even a little unbelievable.
how so……
The different information flow made him temporarily speechless, and it took him a long time to sort it out. In the moment just now, his soul returned to that strange space and received an extraordinary piece of information.
Facing Robin's concerned eyes, he said with difficulty:
"fine."
Although his expression and the cold sweat on his head could not prove this.
Afterwards, Noah opened the door and left Bica alone, coming to the blue sky.
As you free fall from top to bottom, calm your mind.
Looking at the deep sky and listening to the wind in his ears, he was the only one left in this boundless world.
"Signposts...directions...concepts...worlds...doors."
It was as if I had seen a little bit of the truth of the world. I had originally thought that it only involved the location of Raftel, but I had taken it for granted.
I kept repeating the free fall until the red sunset appeared on the horizon, and then I figured everything out.
“No matter what the future holds, continue to accomplish your career!”
Open the door and return to Bikka.
Seeing that Robin was still waiting for him here, he felt a little regretful that his actions just now had made people worry.
"Don't worry, it's just that I had a little problem that I couldn't figure out for a while, but it's all right now."
From Noah's expression, Robin was sure that he had recovered, so he felt relieved and continued to study the text of the signpost.
Noah walked up to Dr. Yuejian, took out the Swallow-Swallow Fruit, and told the doctor about the magical properties of this fruit.
Sure enough, as a great scientist, Dr. Yuejian was very interested. This fruit would be of great help to scientific research. At the same time, he immediately thought of Vegapunk. If this fruit was given to him, it would be unimaginable.
A brain that is 500 years ahead of the world, and a power that can transcend the limitations of the times. It is no joke to rub everything with your hands. As long as there is principle and creativity, the domain of the Creator is pulled into the hands of ordinary people.
"Not necessarily. Sometimes scientific progress will accelerate the destruction of the world. It is better to proceed step by step."
Noah has a lot to say about this. In so many works in his previous life, scientists have destroyed too many worlds intentionally or unintentionally. The Omnic Crisis and the Resident Evil were all created by this group of guys, and even these are child's play.
The most outrageous is the world of funny animations such as Arale or Doraemon, where technological creations can easily destroy the world, split the earth in half with a single hand, and then sew it together, or pull the timeline to restore it.
Noah is not exaggerating, the One Piece world exists, so why shouldn't those worlds exist?
Dr. Yuejian disagrees with this, believing that scientists are all very rigorous and that scientific research is based on deductions within the scope of their control, so the situation he described would not occur.
"Um... Doctor, have you forgotten the destroyed laboratory in Balkimoa? How come your moon-observation platform is gone? The experiment with the Thunder Fruit..."
"Well, some experiments did exceed our calculations, but this has never happened again. We can't always look at new things with old eyes. You are also a big shot who is determined to build a new world. Don't be so superficial..."
The talkative doctor tried hard to prove that he was different from before, saying that scientific experiments were controllable and that you didn't understand.
"I understand, Doctor. This Swallow-Swallow Fruit will stay here. Please try to see if you can fuse it. I have a feeling that it might not be so smooth this time."
"No, we have had two successful cases and collected a lot of data. Science is about repeatability, which is the basic principle of natural science research. Scientists discover causal facts through controlled experiments that eliminate subjective factors, and then deduce universal laws.
Therefore, in theory, any successful scientific experiment should be able to be repeated across different research subjects. This is the objectivity of science. "
Considering what the doctor said, the doubt was over. Since there was already data support for multiple successes, Noah didn't need to stay here to help like he did the previous two times.
"By the way, Doctor, I went to the Grand Line this time and saw a child who is very talented in scientific research. Would you like to meet him?"
"I don't have time now. I'll talk to you after I finish swallowing the fruit. Right now, nothing is more important than this miraculous fruit."
Well, I feel like the doctor's scorching eyes are about to burn the fruit, so let's go first. Originally, this opportunity was given to Franky. This perverted young man has a really good future. If he can learn those high-end knowledge in advance, I believe he will be a new leader in the scientific world in the future.
More importantly, practicality. All of Franky's inventions are very practical. They may look a little weird, but they are really useful. Especially in weapons research and development, power research and development, human body modification, and ship modification, Franky has made unique achievements.
Forget it, let's wait until the doctor finishes the fusion experiment of the Swallow Swallow Fruit. But in Noah's heart, he always felt that this experiment would not go smoothly. The text of the signpost was strange, and he didn't know whether the Swallow Swallow Fruit could succeed and evolve into a black box.
If it succeeds, the scientific strength of the Revolutionary Army will grow by leaps and bounds, and some parts that are limited by the times and imagination will be solved. The Navy has the human figure of Vegapunk, and the Revolutionary Army has the item of the black box. When the two hang together, I dare not imagine it.
I asked Robin if we should continue to study here. Robin said that the text information had been copied down and we could study it when we returned to the Resurrection Island. So I took her down with me.
Back home, Robin couldn't help but ask Noah what he saw in the stone tablet. After so many years of mutual support, the two regarded each other as their closest family.
“That stone tablet is very strange. Maybe its only purpose is to provide guidance to those who come after it, so it contains all kinds of directional concepts.
I seemed to see an endless space with countless stars wandering around. And there was a slight resonance with my Door Door Fruit. But the intensity was very small. Maybe I need to collect the remaining 3 red road signs to get more information.
So I said that the doctor's experiment this time has little chance of success. It is too special. "
Robin was completely confused after hearing this, as he could not understand the meaning of these adjectives at all.
Noah had some guesses after the contact, but it was not important. Overthrowing the world government was his goal. Everything else had to be put on the back burner.
Chapter 236 If you want to be rich, build roads first
Back at the Resurrection Island, there were only a few little ones at home. Franky and Iceberg were eager to set off with Tom.
It was also because the blueprint Noah drew a few days ago was too big. What about covering the entire traffic route of the South China Sea and changing the behavior pattern of human society. This sense of mission was the ultimate killer for Tom. This traditional sea man could hardly withstand this spiritual impact. Even the iceberg brother was obsessed.
Franky...didn't react. It was his habit to follow him. It seems that the future transportation construction will be handed over to Bingshan. In the future, he can manage a city as big as the Seven Waters. He can be said to be quite talented in management.
Tom and his two friends took Xiao Feng and set off on the boat the next day. There were also several elite soldiers on board, who were there to protect Tom. It was so hard to get the people here, if something happened again, Noah would cry to death in the South China Sea.
According to the plan agreed upon at the beginning, we will start with a few important cities, with the Kingdom of Sobel as the center and the South Sea Federation as the link.
The route can be designed so that it takes into account some small cities while also bringing in a few commercial or entertainment cities.
This is not simply building tracks, but artificially creating the center of the economy. As the saying goes, "If you want to get rich, build roads first."
The goal of the South China Sea Federation is to connect the Federation with the 20 economically developed countries in the South China Sea along several main roads, and to create the most extensive and largest South China Sea economic cooperation platform.
At the same time, this large economic platform will be used to drive the population and economy of other poor areas and achieve common prosperity.
So it was crucial to plan the first route. Tom started the actual survey with such a sense of responsibility.
The first problem encountered is that the area of the South China Sea Federation is too fragmented, and some of the islands and waters that must be passed through do not belong to the federation.
For example, there are three islands, A, B, and C, on this route, but only A and C belong to the Federation, and the one in the middle, B, does not belong to the Federation. So what should we do? To some extent, the sea train is not suitable for a relatively large curve.
The second problem is that some deserted islands are blocking the route ahead, and a large amount of explosives is needed to blast the route open. This requires the assistance of blasting personnel, and the workload is also huge.
The third problem is that it is too long. Ordinary countries simply cannot afford to build such a line. Even if the South China Sea Federation builds it on its own, what about the second and third lines?
Xiao Feng had no way to solve these problems, so he could only take out the communicator to ask Taizog. He didn't want to ask Noah everything, which would make him look incompetent. Taizog had the most methods among the students of the same period, so he believed that there would be a good method.
"Oh, those islands that don't belong to us, got it. So, you guys go survey first, mark out the islands that don't belong to us on the road, and I'll find a way to solve this. How to solve it? Of course, we have to come over here.
Deserted island... Have you forgotten the strength of Mr. Noah and his team? This kind of thing is not easy to solve. Just let those monsters help you split the mountain and shatter the island. By the way, don't say I said this.
Funds? Don’t worry, you can build a segment first, let investors see the benefits, and they will take the initiative to bring money.”
In no time, Tyzog solved several problems. Tom and his team continued their survey. With mature technology and experience, Tom knew what to plan after just one trip along the planned route.
It took him three days to return to the Island of Resurrection, and he gave the drawings and plans to Noah.
After careful study.
"Hmm~ No, this plan won't work. There are a lot of things missing."
"Why can't I get through?"
Tom must explain clearly when it comes to his own expertise. He has been working on this plan for more than ten years, and the plan for the sea train in the Seven Waters City has been under construction for four years. If you say his plan is not good, he will not agree.
"There is nothing wrong with the drawings. The problem is that your plan is not well written. It's just a few simple sentences, which is useless. You didn't give the investors any information.
The background, significance, and prospects of the Sea Train all need to be rewritten. And the funds needed are too little, at least doubled.
Forget it, I'll do the polishing for you, you just stay in charge of the drawings."
Double! Tom couldn't sit still when he heard that the funds had doubled. When he built the sea train in the Seven Waters, the biggest problem was funding. The cost was calculated to every penny, but now it has doubled, so he is a little worried.
"Well, Mr. Noah, this amount of money is already huge. If it doubles, it will be very stressful."
"Ah, you see, the sea train you built in the Seven Waters City didn't bring much profit. It was more of a public welfare project. The budget was naturally small.
But we are now building it under the banner of economic development. It is a real investment of profit, so we naturally cannot just let it go.
Besides, the salary you listed is not even as high as the minimum wage set by our South China Sea Federation. How can this be allowed? Here, we have to pay enough for work. The lives of ordinary people are not easy, and we will help them if we can.
The same is true for materials. The unit price is slightly higher, which allows private assets to flow. The construction of this sea train route alone has boosted the economy.
As for the financial pressure, don't worry. We still have a war reparations from the 20 countries in the South China Sea that we haven't recovered yet. It can be used as start-up capital, and there will be capital injection from the Seven Water Cities later, so don't worry.
This is just the early stage. When the profits are increasing and more people are participating, and you put an advertisement in the World Economic News, this will be a hot investment. By then, countless people will come to give money.
As long as the project book is well prepared, there is no need to worry about being fooled. No, I mean to attract some investment. You see, package the prospects a little bit. Talk more about the future benefits, and wealthy people will understand it especially well. "
Suddenly I realized that there is such a way. I underestimated your method. You are worthy of being a man who can play tricks on the world government. Every idea you come up with is a good one.
"Okay then, I'll go and redo the quote."
"Well, then just leave it to Taizog. He knows how to deal with it."
After finishing the conversation, Noah stretched himself and went outside for a walk to relax.
It's interesting that Taizog thought of asking me to split the island. This kind of thing is just right for the great swordsman to do.
The ability of Dragon's fruit is too slow, Fujitora's ability is too violent and can easily cause tsunamis. Only Noah's swordsmanship is reliable.
Chapter 237: Hold it in your palm
Batlila Island.
"In principle, we agree to re-establish friendly relations with the other 20 countries. After all, we are all part of the South China Sea countries.
But we can't forget the war that just happened. How many soldiers left their hometown to defend their country and their dignity. Therefore, war reparations are basically indispensable.
It's only 100 billion. If you divide it equally among the 20 countries, each country will only have 5 million. Isn't it more comfortable to think this way? "
Comfortable, what the hell, I want to be comfortable without spending a penny, this is comfort, Baker was very angry. He had prayed before that he would be very grateful if he could meet Tyzog. When he really met him, he wanted to strangle this little green hair to death.
That's 5 million! With such a huge sum of money, you can buy one or two mermaids in the Sabaody Archipelago. But you said it was just compensation! It doesn't even include the cost of redeeming the soldiers. How can you be so unfriendly? Can't you make more concessions for the peace of the South China Sea?
"Well, can the compensation be a little less?"
The humble Baker was not violent at all.
"Okay, let's just reduce the amount by 1 million. You 20 countries can discuss among yourselves whose share should be reduced, or share it equally. It's up to you."
……
"The Redemption of a Soldier..."
"Oh, don't worry, there's a list for you to check out."
As he spoke, Taizog took out a piece of paper from the drawer and handed it over.
Baker looked at it and saw that it was all island names. Could it be the list of ceded islands? There weren't many surprises. This was very strange. From the few times he had dealt with the South China Sea Federation, this federation was a completely greedy devil.
Although there seemed to be a lot of islands, many of them were small villages, and there were very few larger cities. If something was out of the ordinary, it was a demon. He immediately became alert and looked around again and again, wondering if there were any traps or unknown benefits.
Taizog was originally waiting for Baker to refute, but there was no response for a long time. It seemed that this guy's head was about to be buried in the paper.
A scoff.
"No need to look for them. They are just ordinary islands. Look at this piece of paper again. It is a list of cities that require compulsory trade."
