I, a Celestial Dragon!
Page 191
As soon as Franky finished speaking, Shinping's expression suddenly brightened with joy.
It turns out it’s not my fault, haha!
……
Amidst the laughter of the crowd and Gawain's training, the Black Bird left the area of heavy snow and came to the vicinity of Judicial Island.
This time, the group did not stop, but continued to drive towards the Seven Water City under the sunlight that was suddenly so bright that it was blinding.
The last time Gawain traveled from Judicial Island to the Seven Waters, he took the sea train, so it only took about six or seven hours.
But when they were on the boat, they sailed for two full days before they saw the shadow of the Seven Water City.
Compared to three months ago, the Seven Water City is now more prosperous. After all, they have received a big job.
Even in the shipyard of the Seven Water City, the keel of another super-large ship is being built, which is obviously the future trillion of Rozsward.
Because Espagu is not in the Seven Water City, but in Shampoodi, he is hosting the Casino Mishima.
Therefore, after Gawain and his party had a brief replenishment in the Seven Water City, they continued on their journey towards the Long Ring Island in the distance.
Of course, before setting off, Franky had recorded the location of the new station of Seven Water City in detail. After everyone arrived at the Long Ring Island, Franky would also locate the location of the Seven Water City station to facilitate the track connection of the future sea train.
It’s different from the area near Shampoodi, perhaps because Shampoodi is closer to the Red Earth Continent.
The distances between the nearby islands are relatively close, and almost all of them can be reached within a day or two.
But after leaving the Seven Water City and heading for the Long Ring Island, as the distance from the Red Earth Continent got farther and farther, the distance between the islands also gradually became farther and farther.
At ten o'clock in the evening, on the Xuanniao, Gawain, who had finished his exercise, lay down on a beach chair to rest. Kalifa briefly reported the latest information to Gawain.
There has been nothing worth noting in recent days. Gawain's Heavenly Gold is still being transported to the Seven Water City. As for the Fishman Dan, the plan to expand the route of the original sea train has also begun.
Denmark's progress is quite good, and it is expected that the sea train route between the two stations will be completed in two months.
However, this time was still too slow for Gawain.
So after talking with Kalifa, Gawain called Franky over again.
Not long after, Franky came to Gawain awkwardly, and after sitting down, he chuckled.
"Boss, what's going on? Do we need to add any functions to our Xuanniao?"
"No."
Gawain waved his hand and threw another can of beer to Franky.
Gawain asked thoughtfully as Franky opened the wine.
"Dan reported to me the current progress of the work. If we just expand the two islands, that is, a railway track between the two stations, it will take at least two months.
Isn’t this a bit slow…”
"Hey, there's nothing we can do about being slow, Boss..."
Hearing this, Franky had no choice but to explain.
"Our sea train itself is very easy to build. Both the material and structure are much simpler than ships.
The only trouble is laying the track.
The floating stones used for the base function are relatively easy to handle. There are still quite a lot of them, and almost every island has some in stock. They only need a little processing before they can be used.
But, sir, our rails are troublesome. Different distances between each rail need to be specially synthesized with metal materials that specifically deal with the local hydrology.
It is very difficult to build a railway between the two islands in two months. Although the Seven Water City has rich experience in shipbuilding, it does not have much experience in the metal manufacturing industry.
Moreover, Dan is still a beginner in synthesizing metals, so he will be slow at the beginning, but once he becomes proficient, his speed will definitely increase.”
“So, after actually taking over the construction of the Sea Train, you currently have only two difficulties.
One is the hydrological and meteorological observation problems faced by the start-up sea train. For example, due to the sudden heavy snowfall a few days ago, the body of the sea train needs to be strengthened and the rails also need to be protected from the cold, right?
As for the process of expanding the Sea Train, the only difficulty is the material and speed of the rails at each stage, right? "
Gawain said pointedly, and his words earned Franky's continuous nods.
So Gawain thought for a moment and asked Franky softly.
“Okay, let’s leave this question here for now. Once we reach the Drum Kingdom, I will try to give you the Swallow-Swallow Fruit.
If Vegapunk has the ability to take out the fruit of the ability user, I hope that you who eat the Swallow Swallow Fruit can bring speed to the Sea Train Project!"
“Okay, sir, just leave it to me, Super Franky, haha!
I also want to quickly spread the sea train all over the world, then my master's dream will come true!"
At this point, Franky showed a longing expression.
At this moment, Khalifa, who was not far away, received a call.
After a moment, Kalifa came to Gawain and spoke softly.
"Lord Gawain, our lookouts have just observed a massive tsunami, Akula Ragnar!"
"Oh?"
Hearing this, Gawain stood up with interest.
"The Seven Water City faces the Sea Gods Super Tsunami every year. Is today the day for it to happen this year?"
"Yes, my lord!"
Kalifa nodded.
“Although Akula Ragna occurs once a year, the time is never fixed. It seems that we are lucky.
Before you leave the Seven Waters City, you can enjoy this once-a-year spectacular view! ”
"Yeah, haha, we are really lucky. Let the lookout ring the warning bell. The Sea Gods are worth watching!"
"As you command, my lord!"
Kalifa nodded and left immediately. A moment later, a leisurely warning bell rang on the Xuanniao.
The officers who had been on the deck came over to Gao Wen immediately. The first one to arrive was Xiluo. Without saying a word, he excitedly clenched his Thunderstorm.
"Sir, kill someone!"
"Uh……"
Looking at Xiliu who looked ferocious, Gawain gently hit his chest.
"You've been feeling really depressed these past two days, right? But there's really nothing we can do. Our ship might be too big and can be observed by other pirate ships from hundreds of miles away.
But when they saw us, we couldn't see them at all, so we couldn't even encounter a single pirate..."
"Hehe, thank you for your concern, but it's okay, I haven't had any major addictions recently.
After all, some time ago, with the support of adults, I really had a great time chopping wood, haha!"
After Xiliu finished speaking with a big laugh, he lowered his head again and spoke to Gawain seriously.
"So, my lord, what does the warning bell mean?"
As Xiliu asked this, the cadres around him all arrived, and even Uta followed him, lying on top of Shirahoshi's head.
Looking at everyone, Gao Wen smiled and clapped his hands.
"Don't be so alert, this warning is not about an enemy attack, but a tsunami.
The annual sea gods of the Seven Waters City, the Akula Ragnart tsunami that once reached a height of several thousand meters, is rushing towards us and the Seven Waters City behind us. "
"Ouch!"
As soon as Gao Wen finished speaking, old man Rayleigh laughed.
"This is a great thing!"
He said to everyone excitedly.
“Recently I’ve always felt that the cook on our ship doesn’t have any emotion in his cooking, and then Akula Ragnar came along.
When this tsunami comes, we can upgrade our salt, haha!"
After he finished speaking, Rayleigh took off the military cap he had just put on. Since they were not going to fight in a team, he was too lazy to be formal.
Rayleigh continued as he threw the military cap nearby.
“You know, every time Akula Ragna roars, it will roll up the pure seawater buried tens or even hundreds of thousands of meters deep on the seabed to the tide.
The sea salt extracted from that seawater is the best among all salt seasonings in the world!
As long as we rush through the tsunami head-on, we can load our boat with the pure seawater brought by the sea gods. When the boat is dry, we will get the sea god's salt!"
At this point, Rayleigh shook his head complainingly.
“In the past, only the Seven Waters City could extract Poseidon Salt in this way, but although the Seven Waters City was large enough, the population was too large.
The Poseidon Salt is divided here and there. Even with a Celestial Dragon captain like you on board, we can only eat the Poseidon Salt two or three days a month.
But now, no one will fight with us for the Sea God Salt left on our Xuanniao! "
Rayleigh grinned with excitement.
"So what are we waiting for? Let's speed up. A ship as big as ours can't be destroyed by a tsunami!"
Listening to Rayleigh's words, Xia Qi frowned slightly.
“It’s a good suggestion, Poseidon Salt tastes really good.
But can our ship withstand the tsunami..."
As she spoke, Xia Qi looked towards Franky.
Noticing Xia Qi's eyes, Franky thought for a moment, then he nodded very decisively.
"Absolutely, there is no problem. Even the buildings of the Seven Water City cannot be made entirely of the Treasure Tree Adam!
Besides, the Xuanniao is a super ship built by my uncle Franky himself!
Not only can we charge headfirst into a tsunami, we can even open our wings slightly to leave more sea salt behind!
but……"
Franky looked at Gawain pitifully.
"But Boss, if we face the tsunami head on...
For ship maintenance, we estimate that we will need to add an additional budget of around 80 million Baileys!"
Chapter 171 The Challenge in the Heart
"What, 80 million Baileys?!"
The words just now scared old man Rayleigh, and he looked at Franky with wide eyes.
Facing Mr. Rayleigh's incredulous look, Franky answered seriously.
“Of course, after all, I applied a lot of grease on the special wings of our Xuanniao for sealing and diving purposes.
Some of that oil disappears with every dive!
If we want to pass through the Akula Lagna tsunami, even if our wings are not unfolded for diving, we will inevitably come into contact with a large amount of sea water.
Considering the impact force of a tsunami, just one collision might scrape off all the oil on our wings that can support three or four dives!"
At this point, Franky smiled indifferently and continued talking with a relaxed look on his face.
“But we won’t lose anything. On the contrary, we will make a lot of money. The sea salt brought by Akula Ragna is sold at about 800 Baileys per gram on the black market. Considering the size of our Xuanniao, we can just successfully pass through the tsunami this time.
Then we can at least keep three to five tons of Poseidon salt.
This kind of sea salt is in short supply. Only seven water cities can produce about 16 tons of Poseidon salt every year, and the salt will be sold out or eaten up in less than a month.
So, hey, I suggest we go after him!
Most importantly, if I could see the ship I built challenge Poseidon’s tsunami head-on, I would be so excited that I would explode hahaha!!!"
Franky's laughter made everyone smile expectantly. Everyone looked at each other, and then they all looked at Gawain.
And Gawain, he looked at Kalifa and asked softly.
"How long until we collide with the Akula Ragnar Tsunami?"
