Chapter 686: Save the Fire Calamity(1/2)
"Da da da~"
The sound of footsteps sounded, and Skyler came to the rear deck of the warship. She rarely came here, but after serving on the warship for twenty years, she would not lose her way.
Seeing the machine shape that looked like Armstrong's revolving Armstrong cannon, the corners of Skyler's eyes twitched quickly a few times under his sunglasses. This shape was not quite right.
However, the few people around did not pay attention to the shape of the huge machine. Deborah, Luo, Kidd, Franky, Eniro and others were all gathered around the workbench of the machine.
Everyone else kept standing, but Kidd was the only one who needed to hold Enelu up. Of course, looking at Kidd's expression, he seemed to be planning to throw Enelu to the ground at any time.
Deborah noticed Skyler's arrival and said with a smile: "Skyler, it worked. Now this machine can last for more than two hours even if it is powered by Enel."
"Damn it! Who are you talking about?!"
Enelu, who looked weak, was so angry that electric arcs started to appear all over his body when he heard Deborah's words. He had drained almost all his energy for this experiment in the past two days, and what he got in exchange for this was such a sentence.
What do you mean by even him??? He is very strong, right? It should be said that if he is allowed to come, he can continue to operate for at least two hours. This is the correct statement!
It's a pity that no one paid attention to him. Skyler looked at the machine and said, "It was done so quickly? It's really amazing."
Although Nurkic reported to her at least three times a day and was not shy about boasting about the success of his wife's work, Skyler never came over to see the finished product.
Although a few hours ago, when he heard Nurkic say that it was entering the final debugging stage and preparing to start the last experiment, Skyler should have noticed that this machine was about to succeed, but he was deceptive.
"Thanks also to the help of young people like Kidd, Franky, Drake and Luo. Although they are young, the knowledge they have has been of great help to this plan."
Deborah smiled and said that she had never been someone who liked to take credit, otherwise she would not have followed a small colonel like Nurkic. After all, she had the rank of major general more than ten years ago.
Probably to take care of Nurkic's face, she has never chosen to be promoted for so many years, even though the various achievements she has made are enough to make her a lieutenant general and qualified to lead an independent force.
After hearing Deborah's approval, Luo nodded humbly, and then silently stood a little behind Franky. As the leader of the logistics force, he didn't like to be in the limelight.
Of course, if it was to show off in front of Ace, that would be a different matter, but Ace was not there right now.
Franky put his hands on his hips, let out a hentai laugh, and then said: "I have also consulted many manuscript techniques left by Dr. Vegapunk.
Moreover, being able to build such a perverted ship component is also a shipwright’s ultimate perverted wish!”
As for Drake, he lowered his head in shame. He was not helping at all. After all, he was a cook, so how could he get involved in such an experiment.
He just reshaped some gold according to Deborah's request. All he paid was just a golden mast for the gold ship. He was really unworthy of Deborah's praise.
Kidd turned his head arrogantly, biting his flaming red lips, but when his eyes turned around, he met Enel's aggrieved and angry eyes.
"And me?!"
Enelu shouted sadly. Deborah glanced at him and said, "You are not considered a young man anymore."
But as soon as she finished speaking, Deborah felt a little regretful and looked at Skyler apologetically. She forgot for a moment that Skyler and Enelu seemed to be the same age.
But Skyler didn't seem to notice. He just looked at the huge machine and said, "In addition to invisibility, are there any other functions?"
Hearing this, Kidd turned his head again. He had been holding back for a long time. This machine could be transformed into a great weapon. It was really a waste for Deborah to do this.
But Deborah shook her head and said: "At this stage, it can only achieve invisibility and some small functions of creating illusions. After all, it is only electromagnetic field technology that is used now. Unfortunately, my knowledge of gravitational fields is not enough.
If the gravitational field can be more actively introduced into the electromagnetic field, or even other forces can be introduced to unify its specifications, it may be possible to achieve jumps across time and space or even more magical effects."
"Unification field?"
"Unified Field! It's a good name. Maybe I should sort out this experiment and some conjectures, and then make a report for Dr. Vegapunk to see."
Deborah smiled and nodded, and Kidd and Luo said almost at the same time: "Can you give me one?"
Immediately, the two of them looked at each other dissatisfied, especially Luo, whose eyes were wrapped in dark circles, with an undisguised look of disgust, and said bluntly: "You are a pirate."
These four simple words made Kidd grit his teeth and have no way to refute. After all... Deborah is indeed a marine wearing a cloak of justice. There is no reason to give such an important thing to a pirate.
Even as a user with the magnetic fruit ability, Kidd is very eager for Deborah's unfinished report, because he feels that this is definitely an important part of his leap in the development of the fruit ability.
If you can obtain Deborah's report and understand its content about electromagnetic force, then the awakening of the fruit's ability will no longer be the limit.
In just two days, Kidd saw a new possibility, a possibility that could surpass the so-called awakening in the development of fruit abilities.
From ancient times to the present, the symbol of developing the fruit's ability to its extreme is awakening. Kidd used to think so too, believing that awakening is the limit of developing the fruit's ability.
But what he learned from Deborah in the past two days opened his mind. The limit of magnetism is definitely not the kind of power in the awakened state.
According to Deborah, the performance of magnetism is far more than the attraction and repulsion of magnetic substances. It should be a generalization of the phenomena of substances that exhibit attraction and repulsion.
From magnets as small as magnets to the magical magnetic fields of the Great Channel and even the planet itself, they are all inseparable from magnetism. Even in strong magnetic fields, they can show changes in the physical and chemical properties of matter.
Just reaching this step has already involved the awakening of the fruit's ability, but according to Deborah, this is only a relatively narrow manifestation of magnetism.
In Deborah's description, if a super strong magnetic field can be generated, it can even excite physical particles, convert magnetic energy into thermal energy, kinetic energy and radiation energy of the particles, releasing a large amount of energy, just like a solar flare.
When Kidd heard this statement, he felt a little bad and began to imagine that if he could use his magnetic fruit to this point, then there would be no need for any mechanical creation.
He himself is a walking sun, erupting solar flares anytime and anywhere. Just thinking about that kind of scene is exciting.
But when he asked Deborah how to do it, Deborah brought out a lot of knowledge that he couldn't understand at all, such as magnetic charge density, electromagnetic interaction, and so on.
Therefore, he was so upset when he heard that Deborah would compile a report on her research on electromagnetic force and her conjectures on other forces.
Kidd is not interested in things like gravity, unified fields, etc. He just wants to learn the course of electromagnetism. In his opinion, this is the coolest power in the world, and no power can compare with it.
But Kidd glared at Luo. This annoying guy in front of him actually wanted to interrupt his path of learning. It was really unreasonable?!
Suddenly, Kidd remembered Deborah's question two days ago, when Deborah asked him if he wanted to join the navy, and Kidd refused flatly.
But now he suddenly regrets it. He shouldn't have been so decisive. He should have committed himself and agreed, then got Deborah's report and made sure that he was capable of self-study before choosing to rebel. How good would that be?
But Kidd couldn't say "pretend I didn't say it" and then shamelessly ask to join the navy. He wasn't the bastard Luffy, so how could he say such shameless words?
Deborah, who had originally subconsciously wanted to agree, now began to think deeply. She had never participated in a war, and she did not have the same instinctive disgust and hostility toward pirates as other navies.
After all, she has studied with Dr. Vegapunk since she was a child, and has been engaged in scientific research since she grew up. Even if she has some time, she still falls in love with Nurkic, gets married, and has children.
Therefore, when Kidd asked to leave, Deborah even forgot Kidd's identity and only regarded him as a diligent and studious young man like Luo.
But without that kind of instinctive recognition, it doesn't mean that Deborah can ignore Kidd's identity as a pirate. If she didn't react, it might be a different scene.
But now that she has come to her senses, it is impossible for Deborah to agree to Kidd. At least she cannot make the decision now. After all, she is affiliated with Skyler's Zhanye detachment.
Moreover, the work this time was also a project developed for the Zhanye detachment at the invitation of Skyler. The decision-making power was no longer in her hands, but in the hands of Skyler.
Skyler noticed Deborah's questioning look. Skyler had no intention of participating in this kind of thing. After all, she was not someone who really understood the value of these technologies and knowledge.
But now that Deborah has thrown this problem to herself, Skyler can't turn a blind eye, and judging from Deborah's attitude, it is obvious that she does not seem to resist sharing knowledge.
Therefore, after thinking for a while, Skyler said: "Give young people a chance to learn and progress. It is understandable that they make mistakes. If they can study hard and reform well in the future, it is not impossible to become a pillar of the sea."
Kidd was a little surprised to hear that Skyler actually agreed to his study, but then he put on an unfamiliar expression of gratitude, lowered his head and said, "Thank you, Lieutenant General Skyler."
Skyler waved his hand and said, "There's no need to say thank you. After all, you are also Enel, Luffy's and their friends. You are the best person."
"nonsense!"
But suddenly, Bucky, who looked grateful, seemed to be in a state of stress and retorted loudly: "Who are friends with them!"
Skyler was stunned for a moment after being interrupted, and then pointed at Kidd, who was "hugging shoulders" with Enel. She didn't say anything, but she seemed to have said everything.
Kidd blushed, wishing to throw Enelu off him, but Enelu grinned, even though he was a little unhappy to be called Kidd's friend.
But seeing that Kidd was even more upset than him, Eniro's unhappiness suddenly disappeared. He raised his hand with the needle, pinched Kidd's face, and said, "Hey! Little kid."
Hearing Enel's strange emphasis, Kidd gritted his teeth. His instinct just now made him refute, but his reason made him shut his mouth tightly now.
If it was really because of his rebuttal that Skyler changed his decision, then it would be a big loss. For the sake of the future, even if he was called the friend of Luffy, the idiot, and Enel, the soft-footed shrimp, Kidd decided
I endured it.
Seeing that Kidd stopped talking, Skyler also shrugged, then looked at Deborah and said, "How many more machines like this can we build now?"
Deborah had obviously thought about this question a long time ago, and without any need to think, she opened her mouth and answered: "With the materials we have in stock, we can build up to fifteen units, and adding the ones we already have, there will be a total of sixteen units.
But Nurkic said that we may only have five warships equipped by then, so should we build more and reserve them, or should we only build four more?"
"Let's make them all. Anyway, there are so many young people who are suffering. Help."
Skyler almost let it slip, but everyone understood it, but no one dared to say it out loud.
After the short "guidance work" was completed, Skyler also turned back to the front of the deck. Compared with the top technology here, it was obvious that the beach chairs, snacks and drinks were more attractive to Skyler.
After Skyler left, Kidd looked at Luo and said in a strange tone: "I am a pirate, but I can also get the same things as you. This must be driving you crazy, right?"
Luo shook his head and said: "What drives me crazy is that the pearl of knowledge is covered in dust."
After Luo finished speaking, Kidd was stunned for a moment. When Luo turned around and continued to discuss and ask for advice from Deborah, Kidd realized. Is this hateful Luo mocking him for not being able to understand Deborah's report?
!
He almost couldn't understand the sarcasm, which made Kidd even more angry, and now he had missed the opportunity to refute, which made Kidd even more crazy and gritted his teeth.
The sound of grinding teeth made Enilu, who was leaning on him, feel itchy in his ears and even shuddered several times.
"Kidd, go down and bring up all the materials. Luo will guide you in installing them according to the new drawings."
But before Kidd could find a way to retaliate against Luo, Deborah began to give orders. The angry Kidd just wanted to instinctively respond by saying not to order him.
But thinking that the person who gave the order was Deborah, he swallowed his breath again, turned his head and glanced at Enel, who was not conscious at all, and then threw him down on the guardrail.
"Dongdongdong~"
Then, Kidd deliberately stepped heavily on the deck and walked towards the cabin, as if he wanted everyone to notice that he was in a bad mood at this time.
