Simulation: Starting from Under One Person

Bi Yuan, stumped by the question, thought to himself: That's what I want to know too.

"I need to ask him/her before I can give you an answer to this question."

But I suspect the final answer will be... NO!

After all, the two leaders of Biyou Village are quite different. One is focused on scientific research and can be said to barely manage affairs, while the other is also enthusiastic about research but does manage things to some extent...

However, if you want him to do more work, it's impossible unless he's willing to.

While dealing with one client after another, Bi Yuan didn't forget to assign tasks to his colleagues, after all, he couldn't be the only one suffering.

Jin Yong and his group were busy, and Zhao Fangxu and his group were equally busy...

Since it was the first time this new weapon had been unveiled, people naturally wanted to see how effective it was.

This "in person" refers to watching the live stream.

In the live broadcast, the airship slowly took off. Unlike airplanes, which make a lot of noise when they take off, the airship took off very quietly, like a balloon floating up, and caused almost no impact.

"Not bad!"

Upon seeing this scene, many people expressed their praise.

And they've already conceived of where they could be used; a very quiet aircraft is truly a treasure, especially...

"I've heard that airships can become invisible..."

"Not only can it make you invisible, it can also..."

As others listed one advantage after another of the airship, someone who didn't know much about airships said:

"That's fantastic! How about ordering a few more?"

The live stream room fell silent immediately after these words were spoken.

A moment later, someone explained, "It's good, but it's also very expensive!"

How much does a ship cost?

"It depends on your requirements..."

“I think I understand a little bit, but you don’t seem to have given me a definite answer.”

"Ahem..." Someone changed the subject: "We'll talk about this later, let's watch the live stream first."

Chapter 286 Investigation Results

On the azure ocean, islands of various colors float.

Viewed from above, the island's surface is covered with holes, a true "blessing" for those with trypophobia.

"It's a bit scary." Someone watching the live stream said, stating their first impression directly.

“Indeed,” the other person agreed, then pointed out the island’s anomaly, “Look at the left side of the island, there’s a patch of seawater that’s red.”

Everyone's gaze shifted to the left side of the island, where a vibrant red color was spreading rapidly and fading at an extremely fast pace.

There was definitely a problem.

Similar thoughts arose in everyone's minds, and a discussion ensued.

Should we send someone to the island to explore it?

"We can't send anyone; the risk is too high!"

"There's a product in Biyou Village that's a detection robot with live streaming capabilities, I think it's called a multi-functional mechanical doll?"

"Send robots to the island to explore? Great idea. Does the 'company' have any in stock?"

At this point, everyone's attention in the video conference turned to Zhao Fangxu, since he was the one managing the "company".

"There should be some. The 'company' will buy some of all the goods sold in Biyou Village."

Some are so useful that I'll keep buying them for a long time.

Zhao Fangxu added in his mind.

"Bring out all the inventory and immediately arrange for it to be transported to the island..."

Zhao Fangxu nodded in agreement and immediately picked up his phone to contact others to make arrangements.

At the same time, the people in the conference room were discussing something else.

"Should we send underwater drones to survey the situation in the sea?"

"That's nonsense, of course we have to send..."

"If there are monsters in the sea, ordinary underwater drones should not be able to handle the detection work."

As they spoke, everyone's attention returned to Zhao Fangxu.

Zhao Fangxu: "…………"

Although I can guess what you mean, can you just say it directly?

Riddles are actually quite boring...

Slightly helpless, Zhao Fangxu nodded slightly, indicating that the "company" should have it in its warehouse.

The others looked away with satisfaction, watching the live stream while discussing other things.

"...To cope with a changing world, we need to develop new technologies, and durability is a basic requirement."

"That makes sense."

Another person agreed, saying that although the equipment purchased from Biyou Village was very useful, there was no need to abandon technology; progressing in both directions was the best option.

Ignoring the two who were speaking in official jargon, the rest of the group discussed the situation on the island.

"...According to previously preserved data, the location of these special islands was completely empty a month ago, just a stretch of blue sea. In other words...these islands appeared suddenly..."

"Moreover, according to the detectors, the source of the spiritual energy is those islands."

After listening to someone's explanation, no one said anything, since the people present lacked understanding of "spiritual energy".

"How about inviting some scientists into the live stream?"

“I agree, I suggest both types of scientists should have some.”

"Two kinds? What two kinds?"

"Outcasts and ordinary people..."

"What are you..."

While a group of people were arguing, Biyou Village was undergoing reconstruction.

Fang Rui, having received the message from his clone, rubbed his cheek and muttered to himself, "...Is a template missing?"

"I'm feeling a bit bored, let's go explore other worlds! Even though I haven't been back for very long..."

With that, Fang Rui set off for the other world. After he left, another "Fang Rui" pushed open the door, sat behind the desk, looked at the pile of orders, and sighed softly...

………………

In the year 1520 of the Haiyuan calendar, a series of far-reaching events occurred within just two months.

First, Kaido of the Beasts, one of the Four Emperors, left the New World, wandered aimlessly for a while, captured some people, and finally settled temporarily in the desert kingdom of Alabasta.

Secondly, Alabasta has shed its title as a desert kingdom and is now a forest kingdom with vast forest vegetation.

The only problem is that when someone planted trees, they didn't consider leaving space for roads, which meant that roads connecting the various cities had to be rebuilt.

A person with such formidable abilities is naturally sought after by many, including businessmen and royalty, who all show great interest in him.

Unfortunately, this person is the current president of Baroque Works and has connections with Kaido of the Beasts, one of the Four Emperors. Most people are not even qualified to meet him, let alone cooperate with him.

Thirdly, after news of Crocodile's cooperation with Kaido of the Beasts spread, Crocodile was stripped of his title as a Shichibukai, but there was no situation where the Navy was dispatched to capture Kaido of the Beasts and Crocodile.

After all, Kaido can fly, making him difficult to capture and requiring a significant price to pay, especially given the large number of troops involved. If Kaido is not captured and the territory of a member state is damaged, it will affect the prestige of the Navy.

However, even the slightest inaction could damage the navy's prestige, therefore...

One of the admirals is stationed in Alabasta to monitor Kaido's movements.

Incidentally...

Almost all the pirates on this route suffered; some were captured by the Navy, and some were dealt with by Kaido...

In the words of Fang Rui's clone left in the world of sailing, it was just that he had nothing to do and wanted to find something to do to relieve his boredom.

Incidentally...

They used ordinary pirates as practice targets for the Straw Hat crew and Portgas D. Ace, to practice their Armament Haki and Observation Haki.

After all, the Straw Hat crew and Fire Fist Ace were forced to train by Kaido after they were captured.

As for the rest...

Pirates causing trouble on other routes is something that happens every year and is not surprising.

After leaving the Alabasta Kingdom, Fire Fist Ace fought a final battle against Blackbeard Teach, and was ultimately defeated.

He was handed over to the World Government by Blackbeard Teach in exchange for the title of Shichibukai.

News of Portgas D. Ace's public execution spread, causing turmoil in the New World, with even the Four Emperors' pirate crews making moves...

"Using Ace as bait..."

"Am I really that cunning?!"

After receiving the memories, Fang Rui looked at his clone, his tone somewhat subtle.

"Cunning, isn't he?" The clone scoffed, offering no comment on the original's assessment.

"Unless Ace is kept locked up indefinitely, the Marineford War will break out sooner or later. Rather than waiting until Whitebeard is completely incapacitated, it's better to detonate it sooner..."

“So…” Fang Rui pressed his temples and said, “Your plan is to tell Ace where Blackbeard Teach is, and then get things back on track with the main plot…”

"You're having the Whitebeard Pirates draw the attention of the Marines and the World Government, while you lead the Beasts Pirates and other organizations to launch a surprise attack on Mary Geoise?!"

“That’s right.” The clone nodded frankly. “Although the plan is simple and crude, I think the chances of success are very high!”

After a period of time, Baroque Works has established relationships with many organizations and supports the attack on the World Government.

With the assistance of organizations such as the Beasts Pirates, the GM Army, and the Germa Kingdom, their combat strength, whether at the high or low levels, is likely no less than that of Mary Geoise.
