Chapter 602: Pang Island Accident
"Huh? Dr. Vegapunk, are you talking to me?"
After Vegapunk finished speaking, a few people came back to their senses. Deborah pointed to herself and asked, but think about it, who can Vegapunk say this to? So she opened her mouth and said:
"However, doctor, I already have a family and children. Although this place can allow me to continue to improve, I am no longer satisfied with this kind of happiness."
Vegapunk paused when he heard the words, then nodded helplessly, and said, "That's right, it's you."
Skyler also asked at this time: "Hey! Vegapunk, what about my thoughts just now? Did you hear it?"
Hearing this, Vegapunk paused when he was about to turn around. After thinking for a while, he nodded and said, "It's very thoughtful, very good, keep this spirituality."
"." Skyler felt that Vegapunk was being perfunctory, so he asked, "Then can you help me design and modify it? After all, you should know your work very well, right?"
"Others do better than me to install batteries. As for the kinetic energy recovery of the extended range you mentioned. Keep this spirituality."
Vegapunk squeezed out a smile, and was about to turn around and leave after speaking. Skyler frowned and asked, "Is there any problem?"
"Well, it's good to have an idea. It's better to have an idea that cannot be realized, or has no value of realization, than to keep this spirituality with an empty head."
Showing an awkward yet polite smile, Vegapunk repeated it again, but Skyler reached out and grabbed his clothes directly, and said, "Tell me, are you afraid of being surpassed by a layman like me?"
"." Hearing Skyler's wild words, Vegapunk's smile also subsided, after thinking for a while, he said: "Skyler, for a layman who doesn't understand industry, your spirituality is very precious.
Because most people don't have it, even some people in the industry and some researchers, they don't have fresh and spiritual ideas.
But the industry is not driven by ideas, but by practice. The range-extending methods you mentioned. If you live in a world that allows perpetual motion machines, it may be possible, but not here.
Let me tell you what you said, for example, can the rotating external turbine be transformed into a hydroelectric generator? Sure, but."
Vegapunk saw Skyler showing a smile, and immediately took a turning point. Seeing Skyler's smile shrink, he continued:
"But have you ever thought that a hydroelectric generator, or no matter what kind of generator it is, is essentially a process of exchanging energy for energy, and there is a lot of loss in this process.
Your idea is very ideal, but you think about the engine delivering energy to drive the motor of the outer wheel. During this process, the speed of the outer wheel is linked to the energy consumption.
So many parts are just to make the outer wheel move quickly, but you want to use the rotating outer wheel to generate electricity. Do you want to engage in confrontation within this system? "
After Vegapunk finished speaking, seeing Skyler's puzzled look, he opened his mouth with some difficulty and asked, "You don't know that using the outer wheel to generate electricity will cause an additional energy loss for the rotation of the outer wheel, right?"
"I remember now."
Skyler suddenly realized, nodded, but quickly asked: "What about transforming the outer wheel into a waterwheel? Then use the principle of falling water to generate electricity? Just like a dam?"
"Don't you need energy to transport water to high places? I know what you have conceived, and it can indeed generate some electricity, but the cost is to increase the original energy consumption and reduce the speed of the warship.
If you are willing to accept it, just to generate some electricity that may be enough to light the lamp, then I have no problem.
Moreover, if it is a merchant ship or other means of transportation on land, you may use your ideas to design a system that recovers kinetic energy for range extension.
But warships, from the beginning of their design, are not for energy saving, but for performance.
Of course, I am not trying to deny you, I still hope that you can maintain your spirituality, which is the most precious treasure of a person, and never accept yourself with an empty head. "
Vegapunk's earnest appearance reminded Deborah on the side of Vegapunk giving them lessons when he was a child, but Vegapunk at that time didn't have such patience.
In other words, Deborah has never seen Vegapunk be so patient with anyone. For a moment, Deborah was even a little envious. After all, she is one of the best students Vegapunk has ever said. Get this privileged treatment.
Skyler didn't know that his treatment was at a privileged level, so he just scratched his head, showing disappointment, and said, "I see, if there is no effective way to extend the range, do you have a better battery here?" ?
Like a nuclear reactor or something? It is best to have a mini size, about the size of an apple, which is enough for a warship to run for several weeks. If such a battery can fill a room, I am afraid that the warship will never need to be charged, right? "
"You can know about nuclear reactors, I appreciate it, but you don't dare to think about the Germa comic strips in Beihai."
Vegapunk shook his head, but still couldn't take it anymore and left directly. In Vegapunk's own impression, the one who did the best job in terms of energy storage was Germa's Gage.
Vegapunk, who worked with Gage back then, knows how well he has done in the field of micro energy storage equipment, but... even Gage, it is impossible to develop the kind of nuclear reactor that Schuyler said.
However, you can go back and review Jiazhi's technology. After all, not only warships need energy storage equipment, but also a large number of pacifists who are about to put into use also need better energy storage equipment to play a greater role.
If you can reverse Gaji's energy storage technology and improve it yourself, maybe it is really possible to solve the problem of insufficient energy storage for warships and pacifists.
Although this Skyler doesn't understand any technology, he is very spiritual. If he is not too immodest and easily makes himself angry, he can communicate more and inspire himself.
Seeing Vegapunk leaving angrily, Skyler shrugged and said, "This Vegapunk is too good at chatting, right?"
"Well, Dr. Vegapunk should be busy with other things."
Deborah also spoke for Vegapunk at this time, and Skyler said indifferently: "Forget it, Deborah, the next thing about warship transformation will be handed over to you."
"Okay, Lieutenant General Schuyler, but Lieutenant General Schuyler, I suggest that the survival boats on the warship should also be modified. After all, small ships are the best adaptation scenarios for this engine module."
"Okay, I'll leave it to you. If you have any doubts about the warship, just ask Nurkic."
After Skyler finished speaking, he returned to the warship. Anyway, it was just a transformation, and there was no need to dismantle the warship. Moreover, based on Skyler's understanding of Vegapunk and others, they probably would not give themselves and their detachment Arrange accommodation.
Fortunately, Skyler is used to life on a warship, and she would not be able to adapt if she was asked to go back to land to sleep.
The next morning, when Skyler woke up and walked out of his cabin, he found that part of the interior of the warship had been disassembled. After washing and walking out of the cabin, he found that the entire warship had been elevated and out of the sea.
Scratching his head, Skyler sat on his chair, thinking whether he should go to the laboratory today to see if he could find something good in the store, when Nurkic, who was chatting with Deborah not far away, suddenly frowned.
"Bru~Bru~Bru~"
The phone bug on his body rang, and he took it out to have a look. As he expected, the phone bug that rang belonged to Skyler, and Deborah also took the initiative to say at this time: "Go and get busy, I can also start work here gone."
Nurkic nodded, trotted to Skyler, and then said, "Sir, call."
Skyler took the phone bug and said, "Today I suddenly want to eat some fried food, please tell Leon."
"Bru~Bru~"
The phone bug was still thinking, Nurkic nodded and said, "Well, then I'll inform Leon, by the way, the official call from the officer."
Speaking, Nurkic also pointed to the phone bug that Skyler had already picked up, and Skyler responded, "Got it."
After she finished speaking, she reached out and connected the phone bug, and asked, "Wai! Who is it!"
"Lieutenant General Skyler, this is Luo."
The phone bug suddenly had two black eyes, and then Luo's voice came. Skyler nodded and said, "Didn't you go to Pang Island? Something happened?"
"Yes, I came to Punk Hazard, and then yes, something happened."
On Punk Hazard Island, in an underground research room, Luo looked at the surrounding scene and said: "I found the human giantization experiment on Pang Island, and it seems that it was built only recently.
And I also found some signs of the Beast Pirates. I suspect that Caesar Courant, who was rescued by Beast Kaido before, returned to Punk Hazard and conducted illegal experiments with the help of Punk Hazard's equipment. "
A few days ago, he got an order from the headquarters to assist Smoker in capturing the Straw Hat gang. Before setting off, he also asked Skyler for instructions.
After all, he can see that there is still a relationship between Luffy and the navy, and the person who is most likely to know is Skyler, but Skyler's opinion is to do what he should do.
At first, he thought that he would come to Pang Island at most to help Smoker fight against the Straw Hats, but Luo didn't expect that there would be "surprises" that he couldn't imagine in Pang Island.
Although Pang Island was destroyed in the battle between Sakasky and Kuzan two years ago, the underground infrastructure was not seriously damaged, and Vegapunk was too lazy to remove those "outdated" equipment.
Therefore, Pang Island's experimental base has the basis to be restarted, and after two days of investigation, he has roughly figured out some situations.
It was precisely because of the understanding of the changes in Pang Island that Luo considered whether to "capture" the Straw Hats according to the commanded mission, or to continue to investigate the human giant experiment and the conspiracy of the Hundred Beasts Pirates.
From the perspective of the impact of the incident, the latter is obviously more important, but he has not received this task, and at the same time, he will not report to the headquarters immediately.
Because Luo knows that once he reports to the headquarters, he will lose the possibility of tracking him down. After all, to put it bluntly, with his current strength, it is hard for the headquarters to believe that he can handle the matter related to the Beasts Pirates well.
But other current ranks do not have the autonomy to act. Although they are lieutenant generals, they are more functional lieutenant generals, mainly playing an auxiliary role.
Therefore, he called Skyler. It was very simple, because Skyler had the right to act autonomously and had a high enough status. If Skyler could support him to investigate, then...
Luo took a deep breath and looked at the experimental equipment around him with disgust in his eyes.
As a doctor, he will never allow such an experiment that violates medical ethics and human relations to exist. He wants to eliminate all of these with his own hands, even if it means making enemies of beasts.
After Skyler heard Luo's news, he also patted himself on the forehead to wake himself up quickly from the state of just waking up, and at the same time muttered: "Recently I really forgot Kaido the Beast. "
After thinking about it, Skyler said to Nurkic who came back: "Nurkic, can we go now?"
Hearing this, Nurkic also became serious in an instant. He glanced at the phone bug in Skyler's hand and knew that something major had happened. However, he said:
"Sir, even if we give up the modification of the engine now, it will take at least one day before we can set off."
"Is that so?"
Skyler thought for a while, and then said to the phone bug: "Luo, you go to Smoker, give up the pursuit of the Straw Hats for the time being, and find out about Pang Island's illegal experiment as soon as possible.
If you encounter a strong enemy, call for support directly. General Fujitora and General Green Bull are still in the headquarters, so it shouldn't take much time in the past.
The warship on my side is undergoing transformation, once the transformation is completed, I will go to check the situation. "
Skyler didn't think about whether it was not in line with the process, after all, the Zhan Ye detachment didn't have the blood to follow the process in a regular manner.
For things that can be done directly, who would be willing to take a few more steps for a process, or even give up the task? Therefore, she directly supported Luo to continue the investigation.
And Luo also reported to her precisely because he guessed her thoughts. Hearing Skyler's permission at this time, Luo showed a smile, nodded solemnly, and said:
"Yes! Lieutenant General Skyler! I will find out all this as soon as possible!"
Putting down the phone bug, Luo heaved a sigh of relief. He was right. He got the chance to continue the investigation, but when he raised his hand and glanced around, the smile that hadn't appeared was stillborn.
After all, this is not something to be happy about. If the investigation continues, he may find out many unknown conspiracies, and he may also encounter some enemies that he cannot deal with yet.
Not far away, Beibo, who was instructing his team members to classify the searched items, ran over when he saw Luo put down the phone, and said, "Sir, what should we do now?"
Hearing this, Luo rubbed his dark circles and said, "Let's investigate further! By the way. You can ask Ace to come over. Although nothing may happen, if they are here, the trouble will be much less."
After finishing speaking, Luo added in his heart, "If there is no trouble, then Ace is the biggest trouble." Of course, at this time he is asking Ace for help, so naturally he will not say anything that hurts him.
Bepo nodded, turned around and began to contact Ace, while Luo looked around.
This is not the first time he has come to Pang Island. He had already been here once before when Kaido invaded Pang Island, and participated in the rescue mission, so he is quite familiar with it.
Although some modifications have been made here, the previous battle between Sakaski and Kuzan also severely damaged the structure of Pang Island, but the overall layout has not changed.
"Bru~Bru~Bru~"
Just as Luo Cha was looking around, the phone bug on his body suddenly rang, and he connected directly. Before asking, a voice came from there.
"Ro, I'm Smokey. Have you arrived in Punk Hazard? I just called you and the line is busy."
"Lieutenant General Smokey? I arrived at Punk Hazard two days ago and am investigating. How is the situation on your side?"
After Luo finished speaking, Smoker was silent for a while, but listening to the sound of breathing, he seemed to be suppressing his emotions, and then he said:
"I had a fight with the Straw Hats today. During the battle, we lost each other's traces. The initial guess is that we escaped from the underground laboratory passage."
Hearing this, Luo said: "Okay, I see, do you know the original layout of Punk Hazard?"
"Know."
"I'm waiting for you at the entrance of the No. 1 research room. I found a more important target. The Straw Hats may have to put it away for a while. I'll talk to you about the details when we meet."
The phone bug was silent for a while, and then responded: "Is it a new arrangement from the headquarters? It's a straw hat."
"No, it was Lieutenant General Skyler's arrangement."
Luo interrupted Smoker, he knew that if it was a new order issued by the headquarters, Smoker might not be able to implement it immediately, but Skyler was different.
As Luo speculated, when he heard that Skyler gave the order, Smoker no longer remained silent, nor did he take a deep breath to suppress his anger, but replied clearly: "Okay, I understand, number one See you in the lab."
After all, Smoker cut off the connection, and Luo also looked at Bepo who was walking towards him, and asked, "What did Ace say?"
"Ace said" Bepo Xiong's face showed a humanized embarrassment, and then said: "Ace told you to call him to beg him, or admit that you can't do without him."
"I see."
Luo nodded, and the phone bug that hadn't been collected was dialed again. Seeing this, Beibo asked, "You really asked him?"
"impossible!"
Luo said firmly, at this time, the phone bug also dialed out, and was connected after a few seconds.
"Wai?! This is the spade detachment, and I'm Lieutenant Yamato!"
Hearing Yamato's voice, the corners of Luo's mouth curled up slightly, and he said, "I'm Luo, I'm in Punk Hazard, and I found the crime scene of the Beast Pirates, Ace seems unwilling to come over, please help me ask what's going on .”
"What?! That bastard Ace actually..."
"Boom! Squeak~~~"
Yamato's voice quickly pulled away, followed by the sound of the phone bug landing, and the sharp beeping sound also came from the phone bug's mouth, it seemed that the signal was wrong.
At this time, the corners of Luo's mouth curled up, and the arc became wider and wider. How could he be so stupid as to be cheated by Ace?
And that guy Ace actually wanted to cheat him, so don't blame him for his self-defense.
Bei Bo also understood Luo's plan at this time, and a smile appeared on the bear's face. One person and one bear looked at each other in silence, and then easily led the detachment towards the No. 1 research institute.
Since the Red Heart detachment was closer to the No. 1 Research Institute, Smoker hadn't appeared when Luo and the others arrived, but Luo was not in a hurry. According to his calculations, something exciting would happen next.
"Bru~Bru~"
That's when Ace called. He moved his facial muscles and tried to make his smile disappear. Then Luo picked up the phone and asked deliberately, "Hi, I'm Luo, may I ask who you are?"
"Ro! I'm Ace!"
Ace's indignant and tongue-in-cheek voice came from the phone bug. Luo was very satisfied with the change in Ace's voice. After all, it showed that Yamato probably greeted Ace's face.
Continuing to suppress the unbearable laughter, Luo continued to ask: "Ace? Just now Bebo said you don't plan to come to help, so I asked Yamato to ask about the situation. What is your decision now?"
"Huchi~huchi~"
Ace gasped heavily, and after a while, he roared with his tongue open: "You didn't tell me that this has something to do with the Beasts Pirates!!!"
"Huh? Didn't Bepo say anything?"
Luo pretended to be surprised and asked back, then looked at Beibo and said, "Beibo, didn't you explain this when you contacted Lieutenant General Ace?"
With an innocent look on Bepo Bear's face, he scratched his semicircular ears and said, "Report sir! I haven't had time to tell you, Lieutenant General Ace heard that it was you who asked for help, so he asked you to ask him directly, and then Hang up on me."
"Ah? Is that so? Lieutenant General Ace, did Bepo lie?"
Luo said to the phone bug with a serious face, and Ace stopped talking because... this is indeed the truth.
When he heard that Luo actually begged him for something, he was so happy that he didn't even have time to ask the reason, so he hurriedly wanted Luo to try, what is it like to beg for help.
And it was indeed he who hung up the phone on his own initiative. After all, he was so happy that he wanted to be a decisive winner.
Who knows. I actually missed such crucial information, if I could be more patient
wrong! Luo, that guy, might not be able to tell the priority of the matter like this, and if Luo really wants to make it clear, then he should not call Yamato, but himself!
"Ro! You're an asshole! Hiss~"
Ace's exasperated voice came from the phone bug, and after the words were finished, there was a sound of gasping, probably because of his panic attack, or an injury was involved.
Luo shrugged, not denying Ace's statement, and this incident was not his fault in the first place, it was Ace who deliberately made things difficult for him, so he said in a flattering way:
"Then Lieutenant General Ace, I'm in Punk Hazard, waiting for your visit, goodbye."
"asshole!"
