Chapter 200: Transforming the Desolo!
"Thank you." Lu Chen smiled.
If Garp and the others were not here, he and Sakaski would have talked more, but he didn't know when they would have talked.
"Humph!"
Sakaski snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves, and left directly. He didn't want to stay here anymore.
Looking at Sakaski's back, Lu Chen shook his head helplessly, thinking in his heart: "Fortunately, I didn't choose the position of the current Navy Admiral, otherwise it would be really distressing."
I used to feel that the position of Navy Admiral was okay and not so busy. Now when I see Sakaski, I feel that he is busy like a human being and can't get enough.
It's fortunate.
"Lu Chen, I look forward to your transformation of this ship. Remember to call me when the transformation is done." He Zhongjiang left a word and left in a hurry. She had more important things to do.
"Okay, Grandma He, just watch it!" Lu Chen replied loudly.
Then, Garp, Zefa and Zhan Guo gave Lu Chen a few instructions, and then they all left one after another and returned to their posts.
"Lu Chen, what should we do next?" Ian asked in confusion.
According to what she said just now, she realized that Lu Chen had been lying to her all along, fearing that she was too worried, so Marshal Sakaski would not blame them, but he did.
It was just hidden by Lu Chen, and she silently remembered this kindness in her heart, and thanked him in the evening.
"First, drive the boat to the nearby island and dock on the shore. After celebrating tonight, I will go to transform the boat." Lu Chen said.
He made a rough plan for the next few months. Because he had to build Pluto, he had to adapt to the shipbuilding technology in advance and improve some shipbuilding skills first.
Although he had learned and simplified it before, he had not improved his proficiency. Now he must find a place to improve his proficiency.
"Okay, I will contact the free ship workers and scientists at the naval base first, and ask someone to prepare dinner tonight." Ian said.
"Okay." Lu Chen nodded and watched Ian leave.
The two have worked together for many years and have become close friends. Lu Chen does not have to worry about complicated things at all, as they are basically completed by Ain.
Afternoon.
Ain found many boatmen who were free and willing to follow Lu Chen to the uninhabited islands around to transform the ship, and arranged for people to prepare dinner for the evening.
As long as you pay, the Navy's canteen can still add meals. If you pay, the Navy's chef will naturally go to the nearby area to buy a lot of food to make a more sumptuous dinner.
Especially those boatmen, when they heard that they were going to transform the Desolo, they were very active, especially when they heard that they were going to follow Lieutenant General Lu Chen, they became more crazy and wanted to follow and participate.
Unfortunately, the Navy Headquarters must leave a large number of boatmen at the base, and only a part of them can leave with Lu Chen.
...
Dinner time, Navy Headquarters Canteen.
All the navy who can come gathered together. In addition to ordinary navy, there are more navy officers, lieutenant generals, major generals, brigadiers...
Many of them are people Lu Chen has seen or knows.
Everyone gathered together and sat in the cafeteria, and the tables in the cafeteria were filled with all kinds of delicious food, but there was no wine.
They didn't have much time to eat, so there was no wine to drink, because they all had to go back to work soon.
Suddenly, Lu Chen stood up, looked at the many navy officers around him, and said loudly: "Dear colleagues, first of all, I, Lu Chen, would like to thank you all for coming here and being willing to come here. This is all an affirmation of me, Lu Chen."
"Tonight, we will eat a lot, and we will not go home until we get drunk if we have the chance in the future!"
"Okay, let's use water instead of wine to toast Lieutenant General Lu Chen!"
"Cheers to Lieutenant General Lu Chen!"
"..."
As they said, everyone raised their water glasses and wanted to toast Lu Chen.
And Lu Chen naturally did not break his promise, raised his water glass, and laughed loudly: "Come on! Cheers!"
"Cheers!"
"Eat!"
Everyone drank the water and started to eat and drink.
Lu Chen and Ain sat together, eating and drinking happily, and everyone was talking and laughing.
…
At the same time, in the Marshal's office.
"Humph! Bastard!"
Although the doors and windows were closed, Sakaski could still hear the sound of talking and laughing coming from the cafeteria not far away. He was still working in the office, while those people were still eating happily there.
The most important thing is that it is time to eat now, and he can't do anything to them at all.
Can't the navy be allowed to eat!
So, when he thought of this, Sakaski was extremely angry, and his teeth were chattering with anger.
About an hour later, the sound gradually died down.
Most of the navy returned to their posts, and only those shipwrights who would follow Lu Chen to leave and transform the Desolo stayed.
They are now temporarily under Lu Chen's management, so naturally they don't have to do anything else.
At this time, the shipwrights all stood straight in front of Lu Chen and shouted respectfully: "Lieutenant General Lu Chen!"
These shipwrights are not young, and they have been in the naval base for some years. For shipwrights, the older and more experienced, the better.
They have long admired Lu Chen, the naval supernova, and when they heard that Lu Chen needed help from boatmen, they all signed up enthusiastically.
"Well, you are all good. It may be 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 at the SSS level, most of them were at the A level or above. There was also a white-haired old boatman at the SS+ level who would retire gloriously from the navy in a few months.
This chapter is not yet finished, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content!
"Lieutenant General Lu Chen is joking. These are what we should do."
"Yes, I am also going to retire. I want to transform a better and bigger ship before I retire. This also gives me the opportunity."
"It seems that each of us has the opportunity to make history!"
"..."
Everyone talked about it, and their faces were full of excitement. Because they all knew that the ship to be transformed was the legendary ship built entirely of gold, the Desolo.
"Okay, everyone go back and have a good rest first. Gather at the port early tomorrow morning. I will take you to the nearby island to start transforming the Desolo." Lu Chen said with a smile.
"Okay, Lieutenant General Lu Chen."
After the words fell, everyone went back and prepared for tomorrow's itinerary.
After everyone left, Lu Chen looked at Ain behind him and asked, "How are the preparations for tomorrow?"
"Everything is ready, don't worry." Ain smiled.
"Thank you, you may have to work hard these two days."
"It's okay, I'm willing to do this, you're also very good to me!"
"Haha, then I'll be better to you!"
"Okay!"
"..."
...
The next morning.
After Lu Chen and Ain got up, they took all the boatmen to the island where the Desolo was parked at the ferry.
As soon as they got on the island, they began to carefully observe the magnificent ship in front of them, the Desolo, which was covered in gold and was towed by two huge turtles.
"What a big ship. I only saw it from a distance yesterday. Now I know it's really big."
"Yeah, I didn't expect it to be so big."
"It's really too big. I don't know how long it will take to renovate it."
"..."
Lu Chen smiled and shouted to them: "Everyone, you've seen it. The renovation may require everyone's trouble. This is the drawing I rushed out last night. Let's take a look."
"Okay."
"I'll take a look!"
"..."
The boatmen came forward one after another, wanting to see Lu Chen's renovation plan drawings.
As a boatman with A-level shipbuilding skills, Lu Chen's drawing ability is still good. In addition, he has Pluto's drawings, which he can refer to.
According to Pluto's renovation, the capabilities of all aspects of its hull will naturally not be bad.
"Lieutenant General Lu Chen, your drawings are good, but some places still need to be modified."
"Yes, the overall plan is good, and the details need to be further refined."
"Agree!"
"..."
After reading it, everyone expressed their opinions.
Lu Chen naturally accepted their opinions, "In that case, let's get started!"
"Okay."
At the command, everyone began to transform intensively. Some modified the drawings, while others prepared equipment, disassembled the Desolo, and collected materials...
Now the problem that the entire Desolo needs to solve is the overall weight. The weight is too heavy. Only by solving the weight problem can the Desolo go faster, or it does not need to be dragged by two giant turtles.
After all, if someone kills the two turtles, won't the ship be unable to move?
It's still a bit useless.
The first step is to reduce the weight of the Desolo.
The second step is to completely transform and install new power for the Desolo. In addition to the sailboat, there are also power equipment. You must know that Lu Chen has the Thunder Fruit, which can still be used without being known by others.
The third step is coating and decoration.
The current Desolo is somewhat too luxurious and does not meet the standards of the navy, so the shell of the Desolo needs to be transformed.
In order to get more equipment, Lu Chen called some Vegapunks and bought a lot of equipment from him, which was exchanged for gold.
Anyway, they were all dismantled from the Desolo, and Vegapunk also needed a lot of funds to do experiments. If someone gave him money, he would definitely want it.
So, the transformation of the Desolo was carried out in an orderly manner.
While participating in the transformation, Lu Chen improved his shipbuilding level:
Ding! Congratulations to the host skill "Shipbuilding" proficiency +1!
Ding! Congratulations to the host skill "Shipbuilding" proficiency +1!
Ding! Congratulations to the host skill "Shipbuilding" proficiency +1!
Ding! ...
You only need to knock on the wooden board to improve your proficiency, so most of the work of knocking on the wooden board is done by Lu Chen, which did not arouse the suspicion of others.
...
One month later.
The dismantling of the Desolo has just been completed. Fortunately, during this period, other preparations have been done, and the rest is to start a thorough transformation.
So, Lu Chen led the boatmen on the island to start the renovation work.
The whole island began to make ding-dong-dong sounds again, as if the show never stopped, and Lu Chen's "shipbuilding" skills were also steadily improving, reaching S-level in a month.
It would be best to upgrade the "shipbuilding" technology to SSS level to build Pluto, and he couldn't do it alone, he had to find an opportunity to get more people involved, and he couldn't be discovered by others, which was a difficult problem.
……
Two months passed.
The transformation of the Desolo was still going on, but most of the transformation work had been completed, and it had now become a powered sailing ship.
One day.
As usual, Ian brought food to Lu Chen. Looking at the completely new Desolo, he was stunned and said in surprise: "Lu Chen, can this still be considered the Desolo?"
"Of course not, from now on, the name of this ship will be Samsara, a ship exclusively for us." Lu Chen nodded with satisfaction.
He was very satisfied with the transformation of this ship. After all, it was also a warship he transformed with his own hands, and it was also the first warship he made himself.
"Ours?"
Ian's face lit up.
"Yes." Lu Chen nodded affirmatively.
Hearing this, Ain's cheeks flushed. He didn't expect Lu Chen to include him in the list. "Thank you!"
"What are you thanking me for? You should have a share."
"Yeah."
"How long will it take for the ship to be renovated?"
"Three months at most."
"Okay."
Lu Chen was waiting for the completion of the construction of the Samsara, and then he would complete the remaining tasks. Those tasks could not be missed.
In this way, he would have the ability to surpass the strongest person in the world, that is, Yimu.
In his cognition, Yimu was a mysterious woman, and even her abilities were mysterious, so he was not sure of her strength, so he had to be careful.
It's always better to be careful. It's better to be safe than sorry.
...
Two months later.
The new Samsara has taken shape, and its overall style is familiar to Lu Chen.
Without further ado, as shown in the following picture:
"Hahaha, it's finally going to be built!" Lu Chen laughed loudly.
"Yes, I didn't expect that Vice Admiral Lu Chen's shipbuilding technology is so powerful."
"It's really magnificent. I've never seen such a huge ship. As long as it is pulled out, it can easily shock tens of thousands of people!"
"Plus Vice Admiral Lu Chen's reputation, I don't think any pirate dares to get close!"
"..."
The eyes of the surrounding boatmen were full of excitement. They all participated in the manufacture of such a grand ship, which was also a great blessing.
"Lu Chen, I have made the sail you want!"
Suddenly, Ian drove the warship in front.
Not long ago, Lu Chen asked Ian to customize the sails and various paints to make a major transformation of the entire Samsara appearance.
Paint it into the blood red color of the demon sword Samsara, so that it is worthy of his name as Lu Chen Pirate Killer.
"Okay! Let's install it now!" Lu Chen's face was overjoyed.
This sail came at the right time.
"Okay."
After everyone's efforts, the sails were successfully installed, and the next step was to paint the entire hull.
