Pirates from island owner to king

Chapter 399 5-Year Planning

In addition to Big Mom and Kaido, there are also some people in need under the two of them, especially some strong men who have escaped from Impel Down City in recent years.

There was even one among them who had reached an exceptional level of power at his peak.

Now, he also possesses a strength close to the peak of a general.

According to intelligence, Kaido and Big Mom are also looking for ways to help him regain his peak strength.

It's not a big problem to recover in a short period of time, but it is very difficult to maintain it.

As it happens, pure gold can do just that.

As for whether to trade with Kaido, from the perspective of a king, one should not refuse.

Without Wano's participation, the troubles faced by the Peace Island Kingdom this time will be reduced.

It is undeniable that the combined power of the two pirate emperors is almost second only to the Peace Island Kingdom and the World Government in this sea.

In addition, the things Kaido brought out for trade this time were quite sincere.

These include a lot of Sea Tower Stones, some nice Devil Fruits, and some tech.

These things are difficult to measure purely in terms of money, but Wang Hai once again became interested in money.

Even the Heping Island Kingdom now owns nearly half of the wealth in the sea.

Money is just a number to him.

As the king of Heping Island Kingdom, the wealth he can directly control is still an astronomical figure without having a great impact on the operation and development of Heping Island Kingdom.

Wang Hai doesn't know the specifics, but there is basically no problem with more than [-] trillion.

But, more accurately, he became interested in gold.

Because the refining of pure gold is obtained from gold.

According to the method obtained from Asier, gold is one of the raw materials, and the ratio of pure gold that can be extracted is almost one thousand to one.

That is, one gram of pure gold can be extracted from one kilogram of gold.

One gram of gold, based on the size of an ordinary person, is enough to be divided into about five parts, allowing five people to gain immortality.

In other words, one kilogram of gold is equivalent to making five people live forever, which is not a good deal.

Even though a lot of Shantora's gold was originally obtained from Sky Island, it was used in the construction of Heping Island.

However, gold itself also has important uses in some high-end machinery.

Therefore, as the Heping Island Kingdom became prosperous, Wang Hai successively recovered gold and purchased a lot of gold from the outside world.

Therefore, the gold in hand not only did not decrease, but increased to more than [-] tons.

One ton is one thousand kilograms, which means enough pure gold can be extracted for 5000 people.

One hundred thousand tons of pure gold can theoretically be refined, enough for [-] million people.

It sounds like a lot, but Wang Hai also knows that it is impossible to use all the gold in his hand to refine pure gold.

After all, the spacecraft itself, as well as various high-end machinery, require a lot of gold.

Of the [-] tons of gold that can actually be used to refine pure gold, perhaps only one-third is possible.

This amount is still enough for a population of more than 5000 million people.

It sounds like a lot, but according to his vision, a very large spaceship fleet will be built.

The best thing is that these spaceships can not only be dispersed, but also combined.

It can be considered to be built similar to an aircraft carrier and many carrier-based aircraft.

Dispersion is to be more flexible, to facilitate exploration of the universe, and to divide work.

As for combining them together, it increases the ability to resist risks.

After all, the universe is so big, even a planet placed in it would be as small as a drop of water in the ocean.

Therefore, it is best if these spacecraft can be combined together when necessary to become a bionic life planet, which can stop for better repairs when necessary during interstellar navigation.

Perhaps, if you encounter a suitable galaxy, but there is currently no habitable planet in the galaxy, the battleships combined together can be used as living planets.

According to this plan, although with the resources on this sea, it is basically impossible to achieve it.

After all, such a huge fleet must be composed of millions or even hundreds of millions of spacecraft.

Based on this calculation, 5000 million pieces of pure gold is not enough.

There are already so many spaceships alone, and the number of crew members will gradually increase to tens or tens of billions by then.

Even, in the future, as we continue to sail in the universe, we will continue to collect and grow.

Therefore, Wang Hai has already considered searching for as much gold as possible in this sea, refining and storing as much pure gold as possible.

Not to mention one hundred thousand tons, even one million tons or tens of millions of tons of gold would not be too much for him.

Of course.

There are still many problems.

It does not mean that if you have gold, you can quickly refine it into pure gold.

If it were really that easy, pure gold wouldn't be so rare in this sea.

To refine pure gold, the raw materials needed are mainly gold, but there are also many precious materials, and the refining process is also very complicated.

It is obviously impossible for ordinary people to complete it. Even a smelting master like Asier, the refining efficiency of one person is not very high.

According to Asier, even if he is equipped with assistants, if he works hard, he will only be able to refine about a thousand pieces of pure gold in one year.

With the huge population of Heping Island Kingdom, its talent selection and education system, and Wang Hai’s golden finger.

It is not difficult to train more professionals like Asier who are proficient in pure gold refining technology.

However, it is difficult to cultivate many in a short period of time. Dozens or hundreds are almost the limit.

Since the establishment of the Heping Island Kingdom, the development time is still too short and the foundation is not deep enough.

Even if there are hundreds of them, it can only be refined to [-] copies in one year, and one million copies in ten years.

Expanding the talent a hundred times will only take ten years to refine hundreds of millions of copies.

However, it is not easy to expand to a scale of [-] people.

Fortunately, Wang Hai has enough time.

Heping Island's current strength has established a firm foothold in this sea.

In the next few decades, he has not considered directly entering the interstellar era on a large scale.

Within ten years, the threat of world government may be solved.

Within 50 years, it will be possible to initially complete the exploration of the planet and the star system where it is located.

As for subsequent plans, they must also be determined based on the exploration results.

Perhaps in the process of exploring the star system, we have come into contact with the interstellar civilization in this universe.

Or, just understand very little.

For the former, one can consider temporarily turning the current star system into a base camp.

After all, rashly exploring and expanding outwards may be like a dark forest system, becoming a prey that breaks into the hunting ground.

Although high-end hunters often appear in the form of prey, they can develop to the level of interstellar civilization, and the weapons they master will most likely be capable of destroying stars.

Wang Hai is not sure about his own strength by that time, or whether the Heping Island Kingdom has weapons capable of destroying stars.

In short, if you ascend to the sea of ​​stars, the Peace Island Kingdom may be just like a new pirate entering the Grand Line. No matter how careful you are, you can't be too careful.

Of course, he also hoped that he was worrying too much.

If this universe does not yet have a prosperous interstellar civilization, or the star system it is located in is on the edge of a desert where interstellar civilization rarely or even never sets foot.

Then, perhaps we should consider long-distance interstellar navigation and exploration, so there is no need to spend too much energy on the current star system.

In short, no matter which plan it is, we will not completely leave the planet under our feet within 50 years.

In 50 years, I think it will be enough to cultivate enough professionals and refine enough pure gold.

But this is a stupid way.

Now, after obtaining the method of refining pure gold from Asier, he has asked people to build a team to refine pure gold around Asier.

While refining pure gold, try to develop a more efficient refining method, preferably through industrial methods.

Wang Hai also let Xiao Hei take a look. With Xiao Hei's ability to swallow fruits, it would be quite difficult to refine pure gold.

Not to mention massive refining.

Xiao Hei himself has a lot of scientific research projects to take charge of, and Wang Hai will not leave all the work to him.

In addition, not only refining pure gold, Wang Hai also asked relevant teams to conduct research on pure gold.

Study the principle of its ability to make people live longer.

From a preliminary point of view, this seems to be a kind of slow fruit similar to the fruit's ability, which almost slows down the life activities of human cells significantly.

Having said that, Wang Hai didn't think highly of the trading items Kaido offered.

Sea Tower Stones are not consumables. Through transactions over the years and compensation five years ago, Heping Island Kingdom has obtained a lot of Sea Tower Stones.

Then, in some fields, some things that can replace Hailou Stone but have similar effects have been developed.

These are some of the products obtained by the Heping Island Kingdom’s research on the Sea Tower Stone and the Sky Island Cloud related to the Sea Tower Stone over the past few years.

In addition, on this sea, even if the country of Wano can process seastones, the use of seastones is actually relatively primitive and rough.

Basically, it's just a simple use of bullets, handcuffs, and some weapons.

The World Government has developed a method to embed it into the bottom of ships to cross the windless zone.

However, these applications are still not bold enough, and they do not realize the true potential of Hailoushi.

Referring to Sky Island Cloud, the Heping Island Kingdom developed a smoke bomb incorporating the sea floor stone factor.

The smoke produced by this kind of smoke bomb shrouds the enemy.

Especially for those with fruit abilities.

Although the restraining effect produced is not as obvious as that of Hailou Stone, it is almost as good as surrounding the enemy with sea water.

Moreover, even if the enemy uses armed defense, it will be temporarily isolated.

Or you can use the fruit's ability to temporarily isolate yourself.

But it is not only through breathing that one can invade the human body.

Instead, it can penetrate through pores.

Unless you are a master of physical skills, you have reached the top level of self-control and can completely control the opening and closing of your own pores.

Moreover, once penetrated by the sea floor stone factor smoke bomb, the fruit ability user will no longer be able to use the fruit ability.

It is also impossible to excrete the sea floor stone factor through natural metabolism. The special method of the Heping Island Kingdom is needed to extract the sea floor stone factor so that fruit ability users can continue to use the fruit ability.

By further developing and applying this method, we have also developed a method that can put the fruit's ability into a state of suppressed silence similar to a seal.

In this way, even if the Tianlong people have some kind of backdoor to the fruit ability, it will be difficult to directly cause harm to the fruit ability users in the Peace Island Kingdom.

Coupled with Xiao Hei's ability to swallow fruits, the fruit ability can be transferred and sealed when necessary.

Now, Xiao Hei can not only transfer the fruit ability from one person to another person, but also transfer the fruit ability to fruits or corresponding containers.

The so-called fruit is nothing but a container carrier for the fruit's ability.

Now, the research team of Heping Island Kingdom no longer needs fruit, but a container that can carry the fruit's ability.

Because of the fruit's ability, using the fruit as a carrier, the research team also speculated on some more useful information.

However, the fruit's ability is, most likely, a form of biotechnology.

Similar to the sacred tree in the ninja world next door, it is a biological weapon with both animal and plant characteristics.

Wang Hai has never given up on research in this area.

Although pure gold has long been in technology, it can make people live forever.

However, this kind of immortality has more or less limitations.

More suitable for interstellar navigation.

In other words, other aspects, such as biotechnology and spiritual practice, are also necessary to obtain immortality.

The immortality brought by pure gold is like cheating.

In terms of biology and practice, the immortality obtained is achieved through the transformation and evolution of life levels.

While gaining immortality, you can also gain greater strength.

In addition, the longevity brought by pure gold does not mean that there is no need to eat anymore.

Therefore, in the interstellar era, biotechnology is still necessary.

It is necessary to ensure the production and supply of food during interstellar voyages.

Although from the fruit ability, he has the special fruit ability of eating fruits and swallowing fruits, he has the opportunity to research some and directly convert other substances into substances that can be digested by humans.

Or, transform the human body into a physique that can digest most substances.

However, such technology is somewhat too inhuman and can be used as an auxiliary means, but is not suitable as the main means.

Moreover, it is obviously not an easy task to learn from such principles and transform them into practical applications and popularize them on a large scale.

If it can really be done, most of the fruit abilities will be widely used by then.

Even if we train a large number of top scientific research talents, it is obviously not that easy to do.

Perhaps, it will take some top-notch scientific research talents, plus top-notch scientific research talents, as well as the scientific research and industry of the Peace Island Kingdom to continue to develop at a high speed for decades, to be able to fully achieve it.

By then, the citizens of the Peace Island Kingdom may be able to become a super-powered race like mutants, and be even larger in scale.

Wang Hai is also interested in this aspect, so he has invested a lot of resources and has long-term plans.

However, it didn't make anyone too radical.

Because in addition to this aspect, biotechnology and spiritual practice can also help people gain powerful strength and live longer.
