Chapter 823 Construction
The Kajin Empire is on fire. This emerging empire, which has been reforming for thirty years, is ready to lead all mankind to a new era with its indomitable spirit.
The bean-faced man told the twelve earthly branches and Duran that the former president had a second will: "If someone who claims to be the president's son appears, I can tell you." The bean-faced man was in awe of the former president, and he had anticipated everything.
However, the twelve earthly branches also knew the president's "request", which was actually an order, hoping that the twelve earthly branches would complete the exploration of the dark continent first and regain hope.
In fact, the president is already "dead", so his orders or requests are actually completely unnecessary, but the respect of the twelve earthly branches for the president makes them still willing to follow his instructions after the death of former president Netero.
Everyone was silent. This matter was really beyond their expectations.
Finally, Yorkshire, the think tank of the Hunter Association, broke the silence: "President, do you know something, so you let us start preparing equipment to go to the dark continent?"
Duran smiled but said nothing.
Why is this person so hateful? If she had to choose the most hateful person, it would definitely be Pariston, then Duran would be the second most hated person. But suddenly Duran's figure overlapped with a familiar person in the Twelve Earthly Branches, that is, the former president, who is also such a worthy person.
"President, should we prepare according to the former president's will?" In fact, Netero had calculated everything, the only thing he didn't calculate was Duran's election. Netero actually believed that the final new president would definitely be born in the Twelve Earthly Branches, so the will he left behind would be executed.
Duran would not believe the old man's messy will, isn't he still alive? Now he has gone to King Kai to continue training.
"Don't look at me like that. Since you are willing to execute the will, I have no problem." "Just do it your way. I have no opinion." "One more thing is that this year's Hunter Exam is about to start. Kurapika and Ushio will be in charge. You two go to select Hunter examiners and design the exam questions."
"Can I do it?" Kurapika has been a gangster since he became a hunter. A good kid has become a gangster boss. Although he commands thousands of people in the Axe Gang, his nature is still that kind boy.
"Ushio will be the main one, and you will be the auxiliary one."
In fact, the Twelve Earthly Branches do not fully trust the new Rat and Pig now, because they were promoted by Duran. They think they are spies planted by Duran in the Twelve Earthly Branches.
In fact, they think too much. If Duran really has ambitions, wouldn't it be better to disband the Twelve Earthly Branches directly? Wouldn't it be simpler to get rid of the former president's management and rebuild his own leadership team? Is it necessary to plant people?
Besides, Duran has millions of people in Kukulu Mountain, Meteor Street, and Youkexin City. The Hunter Association has only a few hundred people, so he doesn't need to worry about them.
"Then Vice President, you will be in charge of all the affairs of the Association." Duran handed the seal of the Hunter Association to the dog girl: "When I'm not here, you will be the full agent of the Hunter Association."
"Where are you going, President?"
"I'm going to prepare other more important things."
Duran wants to build a sea train from the human world to the Dark Continent, which will be used as a special channel for the reconnaissance team.
According to the ancient documents and the exploration of the world by humans in recent years, it shows that the human continent is actually a part of the entire Dark Continent, located in the center of a lake, and the human world is just an island in the center of the lake.
That's right, humans think that the vast waters around them are the sea, but for the creatures of the Dark Continent, it is just a lake. As for the knowledge of lakes, humans are limited to the surrounding area. The waters farther away are included in the content of the Dark Continent, and humans know very little about them. Humans have only built some supply stations on the islands closest to the unknown waters, where few people live, because there are many sea monsters in the unknown waters.
Duran thinks that it is too slow to go to the Dark Continent by boat. For the latest immigrant ship Black Whale designed by the Kajin Empire, it takes two months, and this is still a smooth calculation. If there are any sea monsters or shipwrecks, it will probably take more time.
So the sea railway can greatly reduce the travel speed.
In fact, flying is the best choice, but it seems that people in this world are not keen on flying. The aircraft are mainly slow and light-loaded aircraft such as airships, and even jet aircraft are rare. Of course, another reason why airplanes cannot go to the Dark Continent is that the waters are too wide, and the transportation and supply of airplanes cannot be met. Besides, there is no airport on the Dark Continent.
So after comprehensive consideration, the train is still a more moderate way. However, Duran had only designed sea trains in the bay before. This time, he had to design a train that spanned the entire waters. The first half was calm, but the second half was full of dangers. The situation was changeable, and coupled with the climate, it could be said to be a very difficult design.
However, with challenges, Duran would be more motivated. He wanted to leave his most domineering mark in this world, a super sea train railway that was long enough to circle the equator of the earth. This is a great world, and Duran is going to complete the greatest project here.
Even Denise came to help. The two used the clone technique and started construction with an uninhabited island as the starting point. Looking down, the island was densely packed with Duran and Denise. Some Duran was responsible for making materials, while others helped to lay sleepers and set up rails.
Then everyone stood on the water and moved forward little by little. Regardless of the rise and fall of the water, regardless of the alternation of day and night, the two clones worked non-stop to spread the sea railway forward.
In order to prevent marine life from approaching the railway, Duran added biological signals of sea king creatures in the One Piece world into the railway to deter fish on the seabed.
As for the ships on the sea, the starting point island is close to the periphery of the human world's waters, and few ships will come. Even if there are ships, there are sensing devices along the railway. When the ship approaches, the railway will automatically sink to prevent collision.
The laying of railways in the human world went smoothly, but after entering the waters of the Dark Continent, strong winds and waves blew on the first day. Dark clouds and lightning accompanied by a tsunami of tens of meters high hit the railway. Ordinary people would definitely be scared to have a heart attack.
But Duran and Denise are not ordinary people. They went forward against the waves. However, the laying of the railway has come to an end for the time being, because such waves are too big, and the railway will be rolled up to the sky by the waves. If it is open to traffic, a wave will come and the train will derail.
We have to find a way to solve these problems.
"Sure enough, the biggest problem comes from nature." Duran wondered how he could withstand such big waves?
