Chapter 506 Tidal Device, Total War
Chapter 506 Tidal Device, Total War
"Permissions?"
Lu Li and Red Hair both frowned when they heard this key word. One of them was an outsider from the space, and the other was a Celestial Dragon. No matter how they thought about it, they had nothing to do with the authority required to obtain the legacy left behind by the huge kingdom.
Now the red-haired man understood why Captain Roger came here but was unable to take anything away or change anything, because Raftel was not waiting for him and he did not have the authority to activate anything here.
That's why he started the Great Pirate Era, hoping that people who inherited D's will, especially those with D's bloodline, would come to Raftel, where there might be someone with authority.
Currently, the person Red Hair is most optimistic about is Luffy, mainly because Luffy has too strong a sense of fatalism. He is a member of the D clan, and his bloodline is very "noble", and he accidentally ate the Nika Fruit.
Even Red Hair once suspected that Luffy was the reincarnation of Joy Boy. After all, there has always been a saying circulating on the sea that it is not people who choose devil fruits, but the devil fruits that choose people.
But unfortunately, he asked Lu Li, and Lu Li said that although Luffy had grown a lot after special training, his fruit had not awakened.
"Yes, it requires advanced permissions to unlock, and operating the tidal system also requires a certain level of scientific knowledge."
The robot explained, "Is either of you an outstanding scientist?"
Lu Li and Red Hair were both a little embarrassed. Did they want to say that they looked like scientists?
"Let's not talk about scientists first. What kind of person does the authority require? It doesn't have to be Joy Boy, does it?"
Although Lu Li felt that it was impossible to be such a scam, he still wanted to ask first to be on the safe side.
If it really has to be used by Joyboy or an individual who is almost a reincarnation like the Nika Fruit, then he feels that if this world is a work of art, it would be too fatalistic and clichéd.
Moreover, Lu Li felt that with Luffy's personality, Luffy would probably find it boring.
Although Luffy said in the original work that he wanted to create a world where all his friends could have enough food, Lu Li felt a sense of incongruity when he saw this, because this ideal that suddenly emerged sounded like something that was said after being possessed by another body.
Luffy wants to be the Pirate King. Shouldn't he be thinking this way because he wants freedom and adventure? How come he suddenly has such a grand and lofty dream?
"Joey Boy..."
The robots here all have emotions. When the butler robot heard Lu Li talking about Joey Boy, it showed a sad expression, and a crying pattern appeared on the screen of its eyes.
But he quickly adjusted his mindset, straightened up and said, "That's not the case. As long as they represent the Kingdom of the Sun, they can be anyone."
Lu Li thought about it after hearing this, then took out a tablet from the storage space, pulled up a photo of him and Jin, and pointed at it, "Is this the person?"
The picture of Jin in the picture was taken when he was drinking with him privately. He was not wearing a mask, and all the characteristics of the Lunaria tribe were revealed.
The butler robot nodded in surprise after seeing the photo. "Yes, this is the person in charge of energy here. He can open the facilities here."
Lu Li was thoughtful after listening to this. From what the butler robot said, combined with the strokes he had seen before, the citizens of the huge kingdom were indeed divided into classes.
This can be seen from the original work, when Enelu's great adventure on the moon, after he activated the robots, they all called him "God".
This shows that the Lunaria tribe, who are able to control the refining of energy, have a very high status among the moon people, and were even called "gods" by robots back then.
Once the word "God" appears, it itself is a kind of class division. It can be imagined that the Lunalia tribe is also a respected group among the moon people, and other moon people cannot be called like this by robots.
Therefore, the huge kingdom is definitely not an ideal utopia. The existence of classes is normal. It’s just that their technology is too advanced and the citizens are treated very well.
"It's a pity that we didn't bring your group's Jin with us when we went out to sea. Is it too late to go back now?"
The red-haired man frowned and thought. He felt that this was their negligence. They only thought about coming to Raftelu but did not consider whether they could open the great secret treasure.
They were sailing very fast, but they couldn't travel back and forth quickly. I'm afraid the battle between the World Government and the Beasts Pirates would only last one or two days.
"Don't worry about that for now, I have a way to solve it."
Lu Li said, and then asked the butler robot, "Can you tell me the specific function and general principle of the tidal device?"
He wanted to know what the equipment here could do so that he could have an estimate of the subsequent war situation.
"The principle is probably very simple. To put it in a way that even the people of Qinghai can understand, it is to use a device at the pole of this planet to change the magnetic field, and at the same time resonate with the device on the moon to change the distance between the earth and the moon, thereby controlling the tides."
The butler robot explained.
Lu Li and Red Hair were both confused. The former was better. After recalling the scientific knowledge he had learned in his brain, he roughly understood what the butler robot said.
After understanding this, he was truly shocked by the technological level of the huge kingdom.
It is no wonder that with their level of technology, it took them many years to build this tidal device, because this is probably the largest project in the history of the pirate world.
The device here can actually change the distance between the earth and the moon!
Because of its gravity, the moon can affect the tides on this planet. In theory, the farther the moon is, the lower the tides will be and the calmer the sea will be.
But Lu Li also knew that this could not change the overall sea level. Most likely, this device had more complex functions that could lower the sea level. It was just that those theories were too complicated, so the butler robot did not explain them to the two people who were not scientists.
At this time, the robot continued: "After the device is activated, ideally, the sea level can be lowered by 200 meters within three days. This is the fastest speed and also the limit of the reduction."
Lu Li felt relieved after hearing this, and combined with the information they had learned before, he roughly understood the principle of this device.
It is easy to understand that there is a limit to the descent. After all, the total volume of seawater cannot be changed. This device can at most manipulate changes in terrain and weather, but it cannot make the seawater disappear.
In essence, the original intention of inventing this machine was to restore the world destroyed by ancient weapons to its original state, that is, the world where the five continents originally existed below 200 meters.
Therefore, once the sea level drops to a certain level, it cannot drop further. This is a device for restoration and regulation, not a device for transforming the planet.
"As long as someone with authority starts it and someone reliable operates it, can we achieve the ideal state you mentioned?"
Lu Li asked.
The robot nodded and said, "You are very lucky. We have accumulated enough energy this year. The people who came last time didn't make it in time, and the geothermal device hasn't absorbed enough energy yet."
Seeing that Lu Li and Red Hair were confused, he continued to explain: "When the tidal device was developed, we were defeated before we had time to prepare energy. The remaining scientists could only develop energy absorption and storage devices. Due to the environment here, the energy storage speed of the geothermal device was very slow. It took 800 years to recharge."
Lu Li suddenly realized that a device that could change the entire world's oceans would naturally require an astronomical amount of energy, which could not be compared to the energy required by ancient weapons.
If the giant kingdom still existed, they could supply energy to Raftelu's tidal device through external transport, but the giant kingdom was destroyed, and they could only hide in Raftelu and use local materials to make a device that could collect energy.
Eight hundred years have passed, and it has been confirmed that there are indeed real treasures under this island. These energies alone are priceless.
If there were no war and there was no need to restore the world to its original state, the person who found the great treasure would be the richest person in the world just by selling energy. But Lu Li was not interested in becoming the richest pirate. He wanted to activate the tidal device to hedge against the side effects of the ancient weapons that might explode in the future.
After exploring the base for a while and understanding the situation there, Lu Li decided to return.
"Brother Lu, you said you wanted to send someone over? How? The person who had the ability of the teleportation fruit was killed by you not long ago, right?"
When Red Hair saw Lu Li preparing to go back, he was very confused about Lu Li's decision.
"I also have some special abilities, hasn't Shanks heard of them?"
Lu Li said with a smile, then took out a teleportation scroll.
This was what he got from the Dead Man's Treasure Chest, a specialty of the arcane space, a scroll of free teleportation.
This teleportation scroll can teleport a person to any place he has been to, as well as places he has not been to but have detailed coordinates.
He wanted to use the teleportation scroll to teleport directly back to Wano Country, and then teleport Vegapunk and King here.
"Teleportation array!?"
Shanks was very surprised when he saw the teleportation array that Lu Li deployed, "Isn't this a special technology that only the Five Elders have?"
He really couldn't imagine that those people who were doing experiments on Lu Li would even give him this kind of ability.
"None of this matters. Shanks, you guys should just stay on this island. Although Raftel's location is secret, we still have to prevent it from being stolen."
As Lu Li spoke, the teleportation started and he left Raftel directly.
There was a flash of light in front of his eyes, and when his vision became clear, Lu Li saw Luffy's face.
Luffy was running in the square with his tongue sticking out. He was startled when he saw Lu Li suddenly appear in front of him.
"Ah...Brother Lu, why did you come back suddenly?"
Luffy had been running for a whole day and was extremely hungry and tired, and he could barely speak.
"I just went to Raftel and came back with something to do."
Lu Li's casual words cheered Luffy up instantly, and he threw the big rock on his back aside.
"Brother Lu, what did you say? You went to Raftel!?"
Luffy was so shocked that he almost jumped up. Because of his loud voice, everyone nearby heard what he said, and the entire group of Beasts Pirates were shocked.
Jin, who was responsible for training Luffy and Zoro these days, also came over and said, "Mr. Lu, have you really been to Raftel?"
"Don't make such a fuss. We have three pieces of historical texts. Redhead has one. I went with him because I was in a hurry."
Lu Li explained, "I came back to send you over there, because there are things over there that only you can handle."
At this moment, Luffy, realizing something, quickly covered his ears and hid far away, obviously afraid of hearing something about Raftel and ending his desire for adventure.
"What is Raftel...hiding?"
But Jin couldn't resist his curiosity, especially since he had been waiting for Joyboy since he was a child. He once thought Kaido was Joyboy's reincarnation. He always dreamed that the great treasure could change the world.
Create a new world that is not like the current one where people would hunt down their Lunaria people.
“It’s something that can really change the world.”
Lu Li pulled Jin away until they were out of Luffy's earshot and then let go, explaining the situation over there to Jin.
Then, he took Jin to find Vegapunk, "Doctor, how is the debugging of the ancient weapon going?"
Speaking of this, Vegapunk said worriedly: "Uranus and Pluto have been activated and can be launched at any time... But I still hope you don't use them. After all, the world today can no longer withstand the tossing of ancient weapons. The sea water will swallow everything."
"Doctor, don't worry about this, because I have found something in Raftel that can deal with the rising sea levels."
Lu Li then explained it to Vegapunk, and Vegapunk's eyes lit up after hearing it.
"Tidal device... geothermal energy, the power to change the magnetic field of the entire planet... my god, this is technology that is a thousand years ahead of the world!"
Vegapunk was a scientist after all. He was so excited after hearing Lu Li's description that he wanted to go over and take a look immediately.
Lu Li didn't need to persuade him now. Vegapunk said he would give him half a day to complete the final debugging of the ancient weapon. He left the operating manual and set off for Raftel.
…………
The next morning, Kaido summoned all the cadres and strong men under his command and held a grand oath-taking ceremony at the port of Wano Country.
After an impassioned speech that he had memorized, they announced that they had officially gone to war with the World Government.
"Young men, hold your weapons tightly!"
At the end, Kaido was so excited that he threw the wine bowl to the ground and flew into the sky as a giant dragon. "Let's knock down the high and mighty ones and trample the self-righteous ones under our feet! Let those who are born noble... drain every drop of their blood!"
The morale at the scene reached its peak. Warriors of the Beasts Pirates boarded the ship one by one, and the warships left their posts and rushed towards the designated battlefield.
The main forces of the Beasts Pirates lined up in a line at the port and did not board the warships, because this method of attacking by sea was too slow and would give the World Government enough time to respond.
The soldiers they had just sent out to sea were only to cooperate with the uprisings of various countries and to deal with the local naval forces.
The ones who really want to attack the holy land of Mary Joa are these elite masters. Since their numbers are limited, they can naturally choose a more convenient means of transportation, which will also have a greater surprise effect.
"I never thought that my ability would be used in a place like this one day."
Big Bear, who had recovered his memory, came over and said with emotion, "But if it's this kind of war, I'm willing to join in."
As he said that, he slapped Kaido first with his paw-filled palm.
