Chapter 163 Steampunk: Ark·Proverbs!
At this moment, Badgers has only one firm belief in his heart: he must work hard to express himself and strive to become the captain's most loyal and reliable dog leg, and he must not be abandoned!
Seeing that Badgers was so actively engaged in work, the other two were naturally not to be outdone, and followed suit one after another and joined in this heated work.
Even Poison Q and his lazy horse named Zhuangzhuang, who usually spend their days lazily and like to show off, are actually working extra hard at this moment, as if they are different people.
After all, since they followed Xiao to appreciate the stunning mountain scenery, they have deeply realized that if Xiao is regarded as useless and abandoned, the feeling will be worse than death.
Rather than face such a tragic ending, it is better to fight with all your strength.
With the concerted efforts of these four men and a horse, the originally extremely strong Shima Cloud was completely penetrated in less than 10 minutes.
Looking through the hole, everyone finally saw the mysterious ark that Xiao had mentioned.
It stood there quietly, like a giant beast from ancient times, with its huge hull made of gold.
Just standing there, it is like a city made of gold, scorching and shining exceptionally under the light.
Next to the Ark's motto stands a Sandora that has been stripped of all its gold, leaving only a pile of stones.
"This... is a real or fake ship. It's made entirely of gold. It can't be made of fake gold, right?"
Du Q's jaw dropped to the ground in shock. He had never seen so much gold in his life. To a pirate, this thing was more dear to him than his biological father.
"Oh~, you also know about fake gold?"
Xiao's voice sounded behind Du Q, and at some point, Xiao had arrived at Sandora.
"I guess I understand. After all, the alchemists and pharmacists a hundred years ago were not separated yet!!"
Du Q scratched his head and said confidently. Fake gold is also called medicinal gold. It is a chemically synthesized copper-zinc alloy with a golden appearance. It is also one of the highest masterpieces of ancient alchemy.
In ancient times, alchemists never lacked money to spend. What they spent was actually medicinal gold. There was almost no difference in appearance between fake gold and real gold.
The only way to identify medicinal gold is flame. The ancient saying that true gold is not afraid of fire comes from here. Medicinal gold turns black as soon as it is burned, but true gold becomes brighter and brighter as it burns.
"I know a lot, but this was once the golden land of Sandora, the most prosperous island of the Grand Line, and a lighthouse in the sea!"
Xiao Ye's eyes widened and he stared at the ship named "Proverbs" in front of him, his eyes flashing with greed, and he looked like a money addict.
It is said that women love gems and men love gold. In this world, which man can resist a spaceship made of gold?
"Let's go up and have a look. This is not just an ordinary spaceship, it is also an 'ark' flying to the moon!"
Xiao couldn't wait to pull the others onto the deck of the Proverbs.
Everyone looked at the legendary ark carefully, but soon they fell into silence.
It’s not that this boat isn’t good enough, it’s just that everyone’s aesthetics are different.
No matter which angle they look at the game designed by Enel, they can never fall in love with it.
More importantly, the construction of this ark is very different from Shaw's cybernetic aesthetic.
The difference between steampunk and cyberpunk is that the former relies purely on the power of technology, while the latter is a perfect fusion of technology and "imagination".
Proverbs does not show that amazing sense of high-tech sophistication. On the contrary, it appears to be extremely rough and bold.
Various metal steam bottles and huge gears are directly exposed, and countless steel cables and rivets are crisscrossed.
Coupled with the various black technology equipment on the ship, the entire spacecraft exudes a unique violent aesthetic atmosphere, as if it is a product from another era.
This is simply the perfect combination of "duo", "riveting", "steaming" and "hardness".
【Multiple】refers to multiple turrets, big is good, more is beautiful,
[Riveting] refers to the insufficient craftsmanship of armor splicing in the steampunk era, requiring a large number of rivets to be fixed.
[Steaming] means using full steam as power.
[Rigid] refers to rigid suspension without spring shock absorption.
The existence of Ark's Proverbs is simply a peak-level steampunk warship. If a steampunk enthusiast saw it, he would probably just hug it and start chewing it.
The power system of Ark's Proverbs is derived from the power of thunder, and its control system adopts advanced electromagnetic induction thought control technology. Its attack method is to achieve powerful power by transforming and amplifying lightning energy.
It is no exaggeration to say that this is a spacecraft specially tailored to match the Thunder Fruit. Every design on the ship is closely centered around the Thunder Fruit.
Once the Thunder Fruit is lost, this seemingly spectacular spaceship will instantly become a motionless golden ornament. Let alone flying, even moving is a problem.
"It doesn't matter, just make a few changes!"
Fortunately, Xiao successfully obtained the design drawings of Ark Proverbs, and with only slight adjustments, he could make it have a regular drive mode.
In order to quickly turn the Ark Proverbs into his ideal form, Xiao did not hesitate to enter the God of All Machines form.
After becoming the God of All Machines, Xiao felt that everything was in his hands and could be shaped and kneaded at will.
He just waved his arm lightly, and the Ark Proverbs immediately seemed to be given life, and every part became active.
Then, it began a gorgeous transformation journey according to Xiao's idea.
The steampunk structure is obviously not suitable. This structure is a pile of rags welded together by imagination, which is not strong and does not conform to mechanics.
In fact, without the stability of "magic", the steampunk structure cannot support its huge hull at all. This is why the Proverbs is obviously a steampunk structure, but it still maintains the shape of a ship.
The second is the energy supply. Xiao cannot fuse the thunder fruit for the time being and cannot give the Proverbs functions, but in fact, he only needs to add a nuclear fusion outside the engine, and the nuclear fusion power generation function is completely sufficient.
The energy consumption of the Ark Maxim is very low. Otherwise, with the weak physical strength of Enelus, he can't fly a few miles even if he is drained. The energy supply of nuclear fusion is completely enough for the Maximus.
The only thing that needs to be changed is the control system. The movement of the Ark Maximus depends entirely on Enelus's manual navigation.
It is the Thunder Fruit combined with the observation Haki, and then the magnetic field is used to control the movement direction of the Maximus, which is still the most classic miracle in the world of pirates.
