Novel Star Chapter 188 The Underground Arsenal
Chapter 188 The Underground Arsenal
Holy Land Mary Joa.
Naturally, such things as the Pirates of Ten Thousand Worlds building an airship cannot be hidden from the eyes of the world government.
Looking at the information that CP just reported, Wu Laoxing only felt a pain in his head.
The Myriad Realms Pirates just came up with a new currency not long ago, and it didn't take long for the airship to transport goods.
Originally, Wu Laoxing thought that it would be a very simple matter to disintegrate the new coins of the Pirates of Myriad Realms, but thought that, in the face of the gold exchange trend of the world government, the Pirates of Myriad Realms could persist.
In their view, once half of the gold reserves of the Myriad Realms Pirates are exchanged, the other party will definitely take measures to prevent the continued outflow of gold.
In this way, other new coins will inevitably be affected.
But what they didn't expect was that the new currency of the Wanjie Pirates actually appreciated all the way under their run, and now, the world government can't continue to exchange it.
Originally, Wulaoxing thought that this incident was over like this, but who knew that the Wanjie Pirates took out the airship and the shrinking box backhandedly.
The combination of the two transformed the way the entire world transports in an instant.
Fortunately, the airship doesn't seem to be able to fly very high, and it can't transport many people. Even so, Wu Laoxing decided to improve Mary Joya's air defense capabilities.
"Notify Zero Two and Zero Four to return to the Holy Land immediately, and the two of them will be permanently stationed in the Holy Land from now on."
……
The southern mountainous area of Black Rock Island.
On one mountain, the entire mountain was completely barren, scorched black, and covered with countless mines, large and small.
It used to be a mine on Heiyan Island. Later, because the ore mining was serious, it would not only cost too much to continue mining, but also prone to landslide accidents, so the mining was stopped.
Of course, this is an external statement. The real situation is that there are important secrets about the Wanjie Pirates in this mountain.
An Yi came to a mine alone.
He closed his eyes, full of vigor and domineering.
After making sure that no one was around, An Yi walked into the mine.
But a few minutes later, An Yi came out of the mine again, and he looked around.
Turn around and walk to another mine in the distance.
After An Yi entered the mine, he went all the way down. Although the mine was extremely dark, An Yi was quite fast. It was obviously not the first time he came here.
An Yi has been walking zigzagging for more than ten minutes, and finally came to an iron gate.
He stood in front of the iron gate and looked up.
It can be found that above the iron gate, there is a surveillance phone bug.
Then the iron gate slowly opened partly.
An Yi closed his eyes and walked into the iron gate.
Behind the iron gate is a place like daylight.
The surrounding walls are reinforced with reinforced concrete, and a large number of high-power electric lights are installed on them.
An Yi stood in place for a few minutes, and opened his eyes after his eyes got used to the strong light environment.
What appeared in front of An Yi was a busy scene.
Here, workers can be seen pouring a large amount of iron ore into the blast furnace, melting it into molten iron, and after turning into pieces of pig iron, these pig iron will be processed into steel ingots with better performance.
These steel ingots were then processed into various products, such as warship armor with carburized surfaces and carbon-coated interiors.
Steel ingots are fused to form steel pipes, which are then drilled to become gun barrels.
This is an arsenal that integrates, smelting, manufacturing, and processing.
An Yi didn't disturb the people who were working here, he continued to walk inside.
Along the way, there were countless gun barrels with huge calibers, shells, and armor plates.
As An Yi continued to move forward, after he stepped through a gate, An Yi came to a huge pier, which was completely located inside the mountain, with an area beyond imagination.
This is the underground arsenal that An Yi spent a lot of money building over the years.
In order to build this arsenal, An Yi first dug a part of the mine full of holes, making it look like an extremely dangerous place.
But in fact, most mines are only tens or hundreds of meters deep.
At the same time, An Yi also swept away the mountain, and all the places that could be used to hide people were cleaned up.
And set the vicinity as a restricted area, and the outskirts of the mine are the barracks of the Pirates of Myriad Realms.
Afterwards, An Yi spent a lot of manpower and material resources to dig out this underground pier on the side close to the coast.
It is directly connected to the ocean, but the entrance is blocked by a huge rock.
In order to build this underground pier, An Yi, Denisa, and Esdes took turns to clean up the rocks, and it took more than two years to completely excavate them.
The rock walls around the underground arsenal and the pier are triple-reinforced with steel plates, cement, and carbon coating.
As long as it is not a super earthquake, it cannot be completely damaged.
And after the port is completed, expansion is being carried out every day.
All the people working here are controlled by Yuri, and they are 100% loyal to the Pirates of Ten Thousand Realms.
An Yi continued to walk forward, and the lighting provided by the electric lights had become dim.
A huge black shadow appeared in front of An Yi, An Yi did not stop, he continued to move forward.
Finally, An Yi stopped in front of the shadow, and he raised his head to look at the shadow in front of him.
This black shadow is a huge steel battleship.
Anyone who is familiar with the military weapons of World War II will definitely exclaim when they see this steel warship, battleship.
Yes, the biggest function of this underground arsenal is to produce warships.
An Yi asked Martha to provide the blueprints and was responsible for the construction of all the warships. Over the years, An Yi has secretly built a large number of warships without revealing the place as much as possible.
Among them, the battleships were built on the basis of the famous North Carolina-class battleships of World War II.
The ship is 222 meters long and 33 meters wide.
The standard displacement is 35000 tons, and the full-load displacement is 44000 tons. The main guns are three triple-mounted 3mm main guns with 45 times the caliber, two at the front of the bridge and one at the rear.
The main gun can fire heavy armor-piercing shells.
In addition to the steel armor-piercing projectiles of the ship, there are also Hailoushi armor-piercing projectiles produced by the Wanjie Pirates.
Of course, the premise is to be able to hit.
The secondary guns are 10 double-mounted 38-caliber 127mm dual-purpose guns.
Of course, An Yi did not copy everything. In view of the poor air power in the world of One Piece, An Yi reduced the large amount of anti-aircraft firepower originally owned.
Only twenty dual-mounted 75mm dual-purpose antiaircraft guns were installed on the ship, but An Yi believes that the possibility of hitting the ground is higher than that of hitting the air.
In addition, there are a large number of .50 machine guns, as many as one hundred on the entire battleship.
The other difference is that the defense is strengthened. The armor of the battleship not only adds a carbon coating, but also adds a sea stone interlayer.
This not only improves the defense, but also allows the warship to have the ability to pass through the windless belt.
It’s just that after installing the sea floor stone interlayer, the price is too high. If the Wanjie Pirates hadn’t made enough money over the years, they really couldn’t afford this method.
In addition, because of the ability of someone in the navy, An Yi also lowered the height of the bridge, making the entire battleship look a little low to prevent being hit by its laser.
Because the power provided by the Rubik's Cube is used, the battleship saves a huge power system, and at the same time increases the speed.
At present, the maximum speed of the battleship can reach about 35 knots per hour. (That's almost 65 kilometers per hour.)
At the same time, the saved tonnage is naturally added to defense and transportation.
This type of battleship mainly performs naval warfare and bombardment missions.
At present, the Wanjie Pirates have only built four battleships of this level, and the fifth is still under construction.
However, in addition to battleships, An Yi also manufactured a large number of fast cruisers and fast destroyers.
Among them, the task of cruisers on the battlefield is mainly to conduct roundabout operations and cooperate with battleships in naval battles.
Destroyers are responsible for reconnaissance, rescue, anti-submarine, laying mines, and assisting in evacuation.
Especially for anti-submarine, Anyi has equipped all destroyers with special underwater sonar, underwater radar, and a large number of hedgehog mines, which are specially used to bomb the murlocs.
PS: Because I don't know much about economics, I've just covered all the currency.
