One Piece: From the Rocks Era to King of the World

Chapter 417 Satellite technology problem solved, lucky buff works
“Bulu Bulu, Bulu Bulu!!”

"Captain, I succeeded, I succeeded in breaking through!"

When the Den Den Mushi rang, Li Yuan answered it directly, and then he heard Yumaz's extremely excited voice coming from the other end of the Den Den Mushi.

"Please be more specific!"

Hearing what Yumaz said, Li Yuan was speechless. If someone didn't know, they would think that Yumaz had a breakthrough in cultivation and was about to become an immortal!
"Captain, the technical difficulties I told you about before have now been resolved. Not only have the difficulties in signal transmission at an altitude of more than 50,000 meters been resolved, but now even signals at an altitude of 100,000 meters can be transmitted back stably."

"This means that the signal part of our satellite project has been completed. As long as we can solve the problem of continuous navigation and flight of the satellite, we can launch the first satellite into the sky!"

Yumaz's voice was still filled with excitement. That was a satellite. It seemed that in human history, apart from the suspected existence of Uranus, there had been no other satellite!

"Okay, I understand. The other experiments of the satellite project are at Soros and Caesar's place. After their experiments are completed, we can try to build a satellite."

Hearing Yumaz's words, Li Yuan couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth. It seems that the lucky buff that Bakara superimposed on them is really useful, otherwise Yumaz would not have been able to break through the technical difficulties that he had been unable to break through for two months so quickly.

A few days later, Caesar, Soros and Judge all called to tell him that they had overcome all the technical difficulties they were facing.

So Li Yuan directly called Caesar, Yumaz and Soros together to discuss the satellite. As for Jiazhi, Li Yuan did not tell him about the satellite plan. After all, Jiazhi was not in the Wuji Sea now, and Li Yuan would not tell him about many core experiments.

"Caesar, you speak first!"

After the three scientists of the Wuji Pirates arrived, Li Yuan and the other three began the meeting.

"Shh, Captain, the little girl you brought with you is really amazing. Ever since she gave me the lucky buff, many of the technical difficulties I encountered while doing experiments were unexpectedly solved."

"I have now created all the materials needed for the satellite structure, and I have also specially added the current laser cannon in the satellite structure space."

"And the power of the laser cannon has been improved by me. It is twice as powerful as the one on Hades now. However, if it is really fired from an altitude of 100,000 meters to the ground, its power will be greatly weakened."

"My next research direction is how to further enhance the power of the laser cannon and reduce the energy loss caused by firing at too long a distance. The breakthrough point of the research lies in the main cannon of Pluto."

Before getting down to business, Caesar did not forget to praise Bakara. This guy's flattery skills have improved day by day, and he is not as blatant as before, but has become more subtle.

What Li Yuan wants to build is not just a satellite, what he wants to build is the king of ancient weapons.

The principle and function of Uranus is also very simple, that is, it has a global positioning system and a satellite with powerful weapons launched from an altitude of hundreds of thousands of meters.

The satellite that Li Yuan is building now is a weakened version of the King of Heaven. In the future, when the energy problem is solved and the weapon system is upgraded, his satellite will be another King of Heaven!
"Captain, the satellite's flight trajectory and continued flight stability issues have been resolved, and the core control systems have also been perfected."

"As for the energy problem, I have developed a technology that can absorb sunlight to charge energy, which can greatly alleviate the problem of energy shortage."

"In addition, I have successfully upgraded the energy source based on the original energy source, making the current energy source even better!"

"According to my calculations, if we add energy now, it can keep the satellite flying for half a year. After half a year, we will need to continue to add energy to keep the satellite working normally."

"Of course, this is assuming that the weapon system is not used. Once the weapon system is used, the energy loss will be at least the energy needed to maintain the normal operation of the satellite for three months."

"So next I plan to invent a sub-satellite that is specifically used to charge satellites. I will let it stay on the sky island and fly into the air to charge our satellites at any time."

Soros didn't waste any time and just told the result directly.

The satellite was divided into three scientists for separate research. Yumaz was responsible for the research of satellite signals, Caesar was responsible for the research of satellite structure design, material production and weapon systems, and Soros was responsible for the research of the satellite's core control system, flight system and energy.

"In other words, now all our technical difficulties have been solved. The next step is to integrate the technology in your hands and build a satellite to conduct various experiments, right?" Li Yuan said with his eyes brightened after listening to the reports of these scientists.

"That's right, Captain. An altitude of 100,000 meters has reached the minimum standard for satellites. Now we can try to build a satellite first. In the future, we will continue to upgrade satellite technology and increase the altitude of satellites. Eventually, it will exceed the 300,000-meter altitude of our planet and allow satellites to truly operate in space."

Yumaz said.

"Soros, how is the research on the spacecraft going?"

Li Yuan continued to ask.

"Captain, the various technical problems with the spacecraft have been solved. Next, we can produce it and then conduct space flight tests."

"Due to energy constraints, current spacecraft are very small and can only carry no more than five people for space flight."

Soros said.

This spaceship was improved based on the design of the spaceship obtained from Sky Island. In the original work, Enelu used that golden ship to fly to the moon.

But Li Yuan felt that the thing was too crude, too dangerous, and also relied on the Thunder Fruit.

So Soros then made improvements on this basis, aiming to solve the energy problem as well as the gravity and oxygen-free environment problems in space. In short, it should be built according to the standards of modern spacecraft for use in warfare.

"I believe you will be able to solve the energy problem in the future. Now just build the things and make sure there are no hidden dangers and technical difficulties."

Li Yuan smiled.

What currently limits their technological progress is still the energy problem. Even though various devil fruits can make up for this shortcoming, it is not a long-term solution after all. Soros has been conducting research on energy and has made good progress.

At least the energy used now is many times more than that used seven years ago.

In the original work, Vegapunk was able to research the Mother Flame, an energy source that could drive the King of Heaven. There is no reason why Soros could not research an energy source comparable to the Mother Flame with the full support of the Wuji Pirates!
"Shh, Captain, does the lucky buff Princess Bakara gave us have a time limit? If we can maintain this buff, I think we should be able to solve many unresolved problems more quickly."

Caesar said with a smile, he really didn't want to leave this lucky buff, it was so useful for his research!

"Don't worry, I will let Bakara come to play with you often. When the time comes, you can make some interesting toys for her and make her happy. She will naturally help you maintain the luck buff."

At this point, Li Yuan could already imagine how Caesar and the other two scientists would use various methods to make Bakara happy.

This is also to allow Soros and Yumaz, two crazy scientists, to have more fun besides their research.

Although Li Yuan often told Soros and Yumaz to learn from Caesar and not stay in the laboratory all the time, these two crazy scientists only rested for one or two days a month and spent the rest of the time doing experiments.

This makes Li Yuan seem like an unscrupulous capitalist who specializes in exploiting his employees.

"Come on, captain, don't worry. As long as Bakara comes to my laboratory, I will definitely treat her like a little princess. The little princess Asuna really liked the toys I made before. I believe Bakara will like them too."

At this time, Caesar was already thinking about what kind of toys to make to capture Bakara's childishness. When the time comes, he will ask Bakara to add more luck buffs. Maybe he can surpass Soros and become the chief scientist of the Promise Pirates!

The meeting continued, and the four of them discussed for another half an hour before finally adjourning.
