Pirates: Build a high wall from the East China Sea.

Chapter 406 Research
After returning to the East China Sea Naval Headquarters, Xia Che came to Lao Bei.

That’s right, Lao Bei is out again.

And every time Lao Bei came out of isolation, he never let him down, and this time was no exception.

"As long as these two things are placed on both sides, a light film like a curtain can be opened between them to separate the two sides!" Old Bei stuck out his tongue and pointed happily at a pillar standing on both sides of him, saying, "How about it? Isn't it great?"

"?!" After hearing what Lao Bei said, Xia Che, who had just arrived, instantly figured out what was going on. His eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked at the light film in front of him that separated him from Lao Bei, and said, "What do you mean?"

"Yes, just as you thought." Old Bei nodded his head and said with a smile, "As long as this thing is placed on the surface of the sea according to the distance, it can form a barrier. Anyone who does not have permission cannot enter through it. I call it an energy protection curtain."

As he spoke, he put away the smile on his face and said helplessly, "Of course, you just can't get through here, but you can still cross it from the sky, or sneak in from the bottom of the sea. Even this thing's defense is not high, and it may be broken by some strong people, but this is the best way I can think of at the moment."

There is no other way. This thing needs to have low energy consumption, low cost, and a large protection area. To be honest, this makes him quite embarrassed!

Finally, after thinking about it, I decided to simply cut off some functions of the island energy shield to reduce its defense, and spent a little more time to make this thing.

"I spent a lot of effort to make this." Lao Bei sighed, spread his hands helplessly, his eyes flickered slightly, and said with regret, "I'm almost out of money. If you're still not satisfied, you can only add a little more..."

"No, this is enough!" Before he could finish his words, Xia Che interrupted him and said, "As long as we can detect whether foreign ships are sneaking in."

To be honest, these functions have already exceeded his expectations. Originally, he only planned to let Lao Bei research a detector that would be able to detect any foreign ships or people entering and sound an alarm. However, he did not expect that it would also have a protective function.

Although according to what Lao Bei said, protection is not absolute, but how many people can be called strong on the sea?
The same applies to whether they fly in from the sky or dive in from the bottom of the sea.

In fact, for the East China Sea today, it is enough for this thing to be used. It is not really intended to close the entire East China Sea.

When the time comes, those who do not follow the rules will be treated as illegal immigrants.

only……

Looking at the two-meter-high protective curtain in front of him, Xia Che pondered for a moment and said, "How high can this thing be unfolded, and how long is it?"

"The highest can reach 500 meters, and the longest... can be extended to 1,000 kilometers." After hearing what Xia Che said, Lao Bei also put away the regret on his face, frowned, thought for a while, and said, "We can also extend the length by adding more pillars!"

"Five hundred meters and one thousand kilometers? And can it be extended in sections?" Xia Che nodded and said, "That's not bad!"

"Of course, we spent a lot of effort to research this!" Lao Bei shook his head with emotion, and the clones behind him nodded tiredly, saying in unison, "We are really exhausted!"

but.

"..."

Facing the words of Lao Bei and his clone, Xia Che looked at them sideways.

This thing also takes a lot of effort?

What a liar!
In a calm tone, he asked, "No funding again?"

"Almost there!"

"No, that's two trillion. Is it spent so quickly?"

As soon as Xia Che said this incredulously.

This also made Lao Bei and the other five lower their heads in shame and said, "Because we received so much funding at once, we were not paying attention for a while, and... cough cough cough."

Lao Bei raised his head again, put his hands behind his back, and said with emotion, "For research, two trillion is actually nothing!"

"Yes, the original body is right!"

"For our research, a mere two trillion dollars will be spent very quickly!"

"Although the cost is indeed a bit high, there is nothing we can do about it."

"Boss, as someone who supports the development of science and technology, you should understand us!"

"..."

Xia Che looked speechlessly at the people in front of him whose shame disappeared in an instant and who raised their heads with a righteous look on their faces.

How long has it been? Two trillion was spent in a flash, and they are still so confident?
Xia Che narrowed his eyes, looked around, and said, "Come on, tell me what you have discovered with the two trillion dollars? What treasure could have cost two trillion dollars so quickly?"

only.

These words...

"..."

The five people fell silent again. Their originally righteous faces gave an embarrassed smile and lowered their heads.

Seeing this, Xia Che fell silent. Then he looked at the two pillars in front of him and said, "You guys can't have come up with something like this with two trillion! This is unlike you guys. The output during this retreat is so low?"

"Ahem, there's more to it than just this one thing." Old Bei glanced away, coughed twice, and said, "In fact, we have made good progress in all aspects!"

"for example……"

"Biological transformation, physical research, devil fruits and weapons, medicine, oh, yes, the progress of sea king breeding is also very fast, some sea kings can already be bred."

"Yes, Lilith's sea king breeding project is progressing quite fast."

"That's true. Today I saw that giant sea snake laying eggs!"

"Sea kings? That's good news." Xia Che still looked at the five people in front of him expressionlessly and said, "What else? There can't be no more! Although this little bit of harvest is indeed good, it's still not as good as your ability! The world's number one brain!"

"..."X5
Under Xia Che's gaze, the five Vegapunks fell silent again.

"Okay!" Old Bei sighed and said helplessly, "In fact, the gains from this research are not great. Most of the two trillion were used by us to study infinite energy."

"That's what I said. There are only a few of them. Unlike you guys!" Xia Che nodded in realization and said, "So most of them are used in infinite energy research?"

He also knew about Lao Bei's persistence... He believed that as long as he had unlimited energy, he could extinguish the fire that caused war in the world.

Previously, the East China Sea Navy had very little funding available, and although they were allowed to dispose of some of it themselves, most of it was used for other research.

Having made a fortune this time, it would be strange if Old Bay could resist researching infinite energy.

But...is it really that easy to stop the war?
Xia Che looked at Lao Bei, "So, how is the research going?"

"..."

"Okay!" Looking at Old Bei who was laughing awkwardly again, Xia Che knew the result and said helplessly, "Let's not talk about this."

He looked at the two pillars again and stroked his chin.

"Can't this thing have a little hole in the middle?"

"In fact, it's not that there is no progress in infinite energy. It's just that there is still some distance to go before the success of infinite energy." Lao Bei sighed, explained a little, then looked at the pillar in front of him, frowned, and said, "What do you want to do by making a hole in it?"

"Build a toll booth!"

"???"

"Make money!"

"!!!" Lao Bei's eyes lit up slightly, and then he touched his chin and said solemnly, "If it's just a small hole, there's no need to be so troublesome. Wouldn't it be okay to add two shorter pillars in it? Of course, I can also make a door in the middle according to your requirements."

"Then let's build another door! I'll write you the requirements later!" Xia Che also nodded and pondered for a moment, "Follow the specifications, so it will be easier to manage."

Then he looked around again, sighed regretfully, and seemed to remember something.

"Oh, by the way, have you found anything about the plants that were sent to me some time ago?"

"?!" x5
After hearing Xia Che's words, Lao Bei and the other four suddenly remembered something.

"I almost forgot about this!" Vegapunk slapped his head and said excitedly to Pythagoras beside him, "Quick, quick, take that thing out! This thing will definitely bring in some more funds!"
