446 on the next-generation warship program
The fall of Wano really shocked everyone.
Of course, except for the top brass in the navy.
After all, others don't know Kaido's situation, but the top brass of the Navy do.
But no matter what, the revolutionary army always came to the forefront and occupied one of the most important areas in the world.
Wano Country, the only place that has the processing technology of seastone.
Of course, this refers to the original work. Nowadays, in addition to Wano, Li Yan also has the ability to process sea tower stones.
To put it bluntly, the reason why sea floor stone is difficult to process is because of its hardness.
Take Doflamingo's artificial fruit factory in the original work as an example. Its exterior walls are made of seastone and can even withstand cutting from birdcages.
Obviously, these are not a problem for Li Yan, after all, there are various tools across the ages, but for the Holy Land Marie Joa, it is a headache.
Although the country of Wano was previously controlled by Kaido and had a hostile relationship with the Holy Land, hostility remains hostility and everyone still has to do business.
Therefore, the Holy Land can also purchase and process seastones through Wano Country.
But now?
Now that the country of Wano is occupied by the revolutionary army, will Dorag negotiate business with your Holy Land?
Are you thinking too much?
If Vegapunk were still around, this processing problem might be solved, but unfortunately, Vegapunk has now gone to Li Yan.
Therefore, now in the entire world, except for Wazhi, only Li Yan has the ability to process sea tower stones.
If this had happened in another place, I am afraid that the Holy Land would have gathered its forces to kill it. After all, this has completely blocked the Holy Land's neck.
But it happened to be Wano, a place that was easy to defend but difficult to attack.
Unless they sneak in like the revolutionary army and then control the harbor.
As for climbing the waterfall, Dorag has already set up his cannon there and will blow you to pieces halfway up the climb.
It is definitely not an easy task to conquer the country of Wano.
For Li Yan, the only pity this time was that Kaido somehow got away.
Li Yan's original idea was to have Vegapunk study Kaido's body, explore why he could withstand two Devil Fruits, and see if he could create a pacifist version of Kaido.
But now it seems that it won't be possible in the short term.
But, okay...
In fact, even without research, Li Yan could roughly guess that he was either physically powerful enough to break through the limits, or that his body was abnormal.
Kaido mostly falls into the former category. After all, looking at his wound recovery speed, it is obviously abnormal.
Wait, the recovery speed...
Could it be that the recovery speed suppresses the damage speed of the double fruits to the body?
If this is the case, what about your own exclusive feature called high-speed recovery?
"System, after the high-speed recovery level is increased, is it possible for me to eat the second fruit?"
[Ding, yes, you can if you reach the full level]
Well, that is indeed the case, but the problem is that even if you want to reach the full level, it is not something you can do in a short period of time.
It can only be said that there is hope, but this hope is very far away.
It’s better not to think about it for now.

East China Sea, Corona Island.
Carrera Donghai Branch.
"12,000-ton class, or main warship?"
After listening to Li Yan's explanation, Barry was a little confused.
During this time, ironclad ships were being built larger and larger in order to accommodate more powerful firepower.
After all, those large-caliber naval guns are as heavy as anything, and small warships simply can't carry them, right?
Even the two battleships launched some time ago have reached the 50,000-ton level.
Obviously, large tonnage is the current development trend, but Li Yan said...
The main surface ship hull of the next generation navy needs to reduce the displacement to less than 12,000 tons?
This size can't accommodate those large-caliber cannons. I'm afraid it can only hold a set of two 280mm guns at most.
"Yes, as for the naval gun, it is enough to keep just one, and the caliber does not need to be too large. In addition, you only need to be responsible for the hull and the assembly of subsequent equipment after it arrives."
"If you want power, go find the letter. He has been testing a gas turbine recently. He should be able to provide you with a lot of help."
A few minutes later, when Barry ran to find the communication, Li Yan looked at Franky.
"Help me design an aircraft carrier."
"Aircraft carrier, what is it?"
On the side, Franky was also a little confused after listening to Li Yan's words.
He really doesn't know what an aircraft carrier is.
"Well, you can understand it as a warship that allows aircraft to take off and land on it."
"Uh, what's a plane?"
"It's the kind of weapon used by the revolutionary army."
Li Yan spoke very casually.
Speaking of which, maybe the cooperation between Li Yan and Dorag is definitely a secret, but in fact many people in Carrera know about it.
after all...
All the battleships of the Revolutionary Army were built by them, right?
Therefore, if they often see photos or videos of Revolutionary Army warships on the news, they would be damned if they can’t recognize them.
However, with a systematic confidentiality mechanism in place, Li Yan is not afraid of them leaking secrets.
Not even Kaku was seen among the shipwrights involved in manufacturing the Revolutionary Army warships, but he had no way of leaking the news.
But he knew it, but Franky was still a little confused about what an aircraft carrier was.
After all, he has never seen how fighter planes take off and land.
Li Yan, who had been prepared for this for a long time, took out a sketch.
After all, I also have a talent for SS-class ship design. In addition, although I was not very proficient in my previous life, I still know the general appearance of an aircraft carrier, so it is very easy to draw a simple design.
"Is this the aircraft carrier you're talking about?"
"Well, the full name should be an aircraft carrier. It is a large surface ship with carrier-based fighters as its main combat weapon. It can provide take-off and landing for carrier-based fighters."
"But wouldn't this design be incapable of self-protection? Once the enemy gets close..."
Looking at the aircraft carrier on the design drawing, except for some close-defense weapons, it did not have any heavy weapons such as naval guns, Frankie asked with some confusion.
"Are you stupid? Nowadays, the combat radius of fighter planes can reach more than 1,000 kilometers. Is it possible to get close to...?"
"Moreover, the aircraft carrier is not used alone, but as the core of the fleet. To destroy the aircraft carrier, unless the entire fleet is defeated."
So that’s it.
Frankie understood somewhat and nodded immediately.
"Leave it to me. I'll give it to you in two months at most. By the way, how big do you want it to be?"
"If it is built for the first time, it will be enough to carry 48 fighters. I will send you the dimensions of the fighters to be put on the ship later to facilitate your design of the internal space."
After thinking for a while, Li Yan said.
After all, this is your first time trying to build an aircraft carrier, so don't take too big a step.
After building the first one and gaining experience, we will then consider a larger, more professional and more versatile aircraft carrier.
Now...
