Ignite the fire from the pirates

Vegapunk glanced at him. "That's why I said before the energy problem is solved. Dragon, what are you listening to?"

Uh……

Being confronted again, Dorag was speechless.

Quinn, who followed, said, "The research institute has made some breakthroughs in reverse engineering on the soldiers left behind by the ancient kingdom. If it can be replicated, the size of this robot can be reduced a lot."

"As much as you know."

Vegapunk mocked, "The assigned project tasks are delayed again and again, but they are very enthusiastic about rap."

After a lot of output, one more person became autistic.

Vegapunk then looked at Kevin, and when their eyes met, even he couldn't help but take a step back, fearing that he would be the next one to be confronted.

"take it easy."

Vegapunk walked towards the robot: "For now, signal transmission and flexibility need to give way to energy. Sir said that the research on bloodline factors is for the convenience of transferring members of the Revolutionary Army, so there is nothing we can do about it."

"But once the energy problem is solved, all other problems will no longer be problems. Sir, do you know? The technology contained in the body of that giant mechanical soldier is so amazing that even I am amazed..."

"From the small, we can see the big. The technological level of that huge kingdom that existed eight hundred years ago seemed to be thousands of years ahead of today, not hundreds of years!"

At this point, Vegapunk sighed, "Even for me, there are many things that cannot be replicated in a short period of time... But such a huge kingdom was defeated by the World Government."

For a moment, the test site was silent.

And Kevin also knew the reason why Vegapunk was so anxious.

During this meeting, Quinn was confronted again and again, and neither Dorag nor himself was spared.

The ideology of the Revolutionary Army has changed Vegapunk, but at the same time has also given him the ideal of changing the world.

The more you study that giant mechanical soldier, the more you realize the powerful technological might of that ancient kingdom.

At the same time, they also feel more and more oppressed by the world government that can defeat that country.

So he was very anxious, very anxious about the progress of the scientific research project.

He was worried that the path he had found with great difficulty would be aborted halfway and shattered by the World Government.

"Snapped."

Kevin put his hand on Vegapunk's shoulder: "Don't worry too much, Doctor."

Vegapunk turned around and their eyes met.

Kevin glanced at Dragon and said, "Nearly thirteen years ago, Dragon and I first met in Rogue Town. At that time, I showed him some strength... But at that time, I was probably not as strong as an ordinary vice admiral, nor did I have the world's smartest brain, Dr. Vegapunk."

"At that time, we were so poor that a mere box of treasure could make Dragon excited for a while. What about now? Now we are very strong, really strong, at least much stronger than we were thirteen years ago, Doctor."

After he finished speaking, Vegapunk was silent for a long while.

He murmured softly, "I know...I know. But sir...sometimes the unknown is the source of real fear."

Kevin shook his head firmly: "If it's just about strength, I alone would be enough to some extent."

After these words were spoken, several people including Dorag were stunned.

A person?

How can it be?

But Kevin didn't explain.

The fishing nets formed by the Golden Entertainment City have become larger and larger, and the number of fish caught in the nets is gradually increasing.

After being targeted by pirates, the bunch of parasites on Marijoa found that the only place they could go to for safe fun was Golden Casino.

Coupled with Tezoro's endless stream of new and interesting ways of playing, more and more Celestial Dragons will gather there in the future.

In other words, it would only take about half a year for the Golden Entertainment City to be closed down and the final battle to take place.

……

"I understand."

Without any doubt, Vegapunk chose to believe.

Then he brought Kevin to Robot No. 1 and said, "Before I joined the Revolutionary Army, my dream was to create nearly unlimited clean energy. I believed that as long as there was enough energy, there would be no more war in the world."

"But now I know that this is impossible. The reason why this world is like hell is not because of energy, but because of the people who never regard intelligent life as equals."

"So... I named these robots Pacifists!"

Sure enough, he is still a pacifist.

This seems to be Vegapunk's ideal. Even after becoming a member of the Revolutionary Army, this is still the source of his ideal.

Vegapunk continued, "The blood Borsalino gave me before extracted the bloodline factor, but the appearance of weapons like lasers is too sensitive. In addition, the main purpose is to use the Gate-Gate Fruit, so the abilities of this group of pacifists are all gate-opening."

Then, with Vegapunk's tinkering, a hole opened in the Pacifist's chest.

"Please extend your hand, sir."

Kevin obediently stretched out his hand.

Then, after a sting in his fingertips, the pacifist's eyes lit up.

"The only highest authority has been entered."

"Please give the order."

Kevin looked at Vegapunk.

The doctor explained: "As the developer of the bloodline factor, I can know how strong the robots created by the ability of the replica fruit will be. At the beginning, the robot's emotions were the biggest backdoor I left, but because of Mr.'s warning, I gave up."

"But also because of this, without feelings and emotions, pacifists are just machines that follow orders, not living beings."

"Machines will obey the orders of life, but human desires are endless. No one can guarantee that these mechanical soldiers who bring peace to the world today will not become one of the forces that destroy the world in the future."

Kevin asked doubtfully, "In this case, shouldn't you believe in yourself more?"

"Do not."

Vegapunk shook his head. "Even I can't guarantee that I can make the right choices, because I created them. And... in terms of strength, I am weak."

"Sir, this is the only highest authority. It has the authority to make all pacifists self-destruct. All it takes is one order from you."

Self-destruct?

Kevin understood the meaning of Vegapunk's previous words: I created them.

"Give it a try."

Vegapunk said as he looked towards Pacifist 01 and waited to see what was going on.

Kevin also came to his senses and began to give orders to them to leave the transport vehicle.

Normal action sensitivity is fine.

Kevin then ordered it to attack him, but this order made the pacifist freeze in place for a moment, without any movement.

"The logic is confusing! The logic is confusing!"

Vegapunk quickly said, "Sir, please cancel the order you just gave."

Kevin quickly canceled the action order, and Pacifist No. 01 finally calmed down.

"It is impossible to attack the person with the highest authority. This is one of the underlying logics."

Vegapunk said, looking at Quinn: "You, come out!"

Quinn pointed at his nose, looked around, and found that there was no one on either side, so he had to stand up.

"Sir, you can ask 01 to attack Quinn."

"Quinn, don't fight back for a while. Use your Observation Haki to dodge. After you've tested the sensitivity, test the basic power of the attack."

Vegapunk directed the running of the experiment and ruthlessly captured Quinn as a conscript.

Soon, Pacifist 01 began his attack.

Unlike what I remembered, the pacifist, who was unable to fire lasers, fired bullets and rockets when he raised his hands.

The roar resounded throughout the entire test site. A pacifist was able to fire nearly three thousand bullets, three hundred rockets, and a large autonomous tracking missile.

The basic strength is indeed unsatisfactory, but there is no problem with mobility.

The last step is the experiment of the Menmen Fruit.

Under the test of the longest distance for opening the door and the number of people carried, the greatest consumption is for one hundred people to travel from the first half of the Grand Line to the other side of the planet.

But if the distance is shortened, the number of people increases exponentially.

After nearly five hours, all running tests were completed.

Several people returned to the reception room.

Vegapunk said, "The only highest authority template has been copied. You don't have to enter the authority again and again."

"However... the energy issue is still the biggest limitation. The maximum distance of one hundred people is too few."

Hearing this, Kevin smiled and said, "That's already quite impressive, Doctor. Even if we want to transfer the members, we don't need to transfer them that far, right?"

Vegapunk rubbed his forehead and said, "Sir, your understanding of scientific research is too superficial. As the number of people increases exponentially, the distance also decreases exponentially. If it exceeds the limit, it will decrease exponentially."

"What we just tested was an object with a mass equivalent to the number of people. In this case, if there are a thousand people, the limit may be the distance between the islands. It can't be too far."

Kevin looked at Dorag beside him and said, "I remember that we currently have about 4 million operational members, right?"

Dragon replied: "That was the data from two years ago. Currently, the four seas plus the Grand Line, several corps including the Beasts Pirates, and the armed forces guarding Wano Country, total 8.65 million people."

For a moment, even Kevin was a little confused.

It seems that the members of the Revolutionary Army from the East China Sea are not as strong as the 600,000 guards of Alabasta.

How come the entire ocean adds up to so much?

"PhD."

Kevin looked at Vegapunk again: "Can you make 8,650 of these things?"

Vegapunk grinned and stuck out his tongue: "Sir, of course it's fine if you need it, as long as the resources are available. Do you know how much this one costs?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Kevin remembered that the cost of the Pacifist in his memory was equivalent to that of a warship.

Even though warships seem to be consumables in front of the strong, basically every big pirate has destroyed a few of them.

But the cost of building a warship is also very high.

"How much is this thing?"

"Two billion Baileys!"

"What!!"

Kevin stood up immediately.

Are you kidding me? Three of these things are worth my head?

Can you slap yourself?

Two billion Baileys? Are navy ships worth that much?

[Note: Golden Merry, Luffy said in the Seven Water Capital that 2 million Baileys can be exchanged for a second-hand ship that is slightly larger than the Merry. At half the price, the Merry is million. Let's compare the warships, wait for me to post the pictures.]

Chapter 237 Doflamingo takes the blame

Kevin had never been involved in the economic affairs of the Revolutionary Army. At the beginning, he asked Dragon to use the floating ability of the Chicken Spell to transport gold down from Shandora as the starting capital.

Later, because Vegapunk discovered something in O'Hara's documents that indicated that gold might have important uses in future energy, the Revolutionary Army began to stockpile gold.

In terms of funding, they robbed the Celestial Dragons' Heavenly Gold and used it as development funding for the Revolutionary Army during that period.

What followed was the entertainment city plan submitted by Tesoro, which was to increase funding and require the full cooperation of the Revolutionary Army. At that time, the New Era News also reported Kevin's killing of six Celestial Dragons, in line with the Golden Entertainment City's plan to monopolize the Celestial Dragons' entertainment.

All of the above have ensured that the Revolutionary Army is currently free of financial worries, and have also allowed the research institute at the Sky Island headquarters to operate normally and initiate a large number of research projects.

But 2 billion Beli for one Pacifist... it's too expensive!

It can be said that it is a complete waste of money.

At this moment, Dorag was scratching his scalp, his eyes were much more unfocused.
