149 The launch of the warship, outrageous assessment!
In order to do this.
Sean not only packed up the entire factory and all the workers.
More importantly, this company was originally worth up to 4 billion, but Sean spent 5 billion to acquire it.
One of the conditions is that in order to ensure that the formula is not leaked, even the original company boss must come to Donghai for a period of three years.
But during the three to five years in Donghai, Xien will compensate him 200 million beli every year.
In other words, if the boss of the original Coke company stays in Donghai for three years, he can get an extra 1.6 billion beli.
The other party is naturally very happy.
After all, after more than 20 years of making Coca-Cola, it has only made less than 1 billion Baileys.
Now, only a fool would not do it in exchange for 1.6 billion beli in three years.
Besides, Sean does not restrict his freedom, but will arrange for people to monitor and protect him.
In the meantime, he can enjoy it or start a business.
Sean won't stop him.
The only thing you have to abide by is that you cannot leave the East China Sea within three years.
That's all.
------
The next day.
Sean appeared on the desert island where Dahei was.
Today, although viewed from outside the island, it is still a deserted island.
However, no one knew that there was not only a shipyard hidden inside, but also a military factory.
As for how Sean arrived here in one day.
In fact, this is not a difficult task for him. Relying on spiritual support and running all the way in the air, he can arrive in three hours at most.
Of course, although you can do this, Sean said it was too tiring.
Wouldn't it be nice to just wake up, call Bruno, open the door and go directly?
Why do you have to risk your life and run all the way for three hours?
It's like that...
If you can fly, who would take the green train?
Sean said that he is not a maniac.
Speaking of which, this is the first time that Sean has come here since he asked Sumaner to build a shipyard and a military factory.
Seeing it with my own eyes, the scale of this shipyard is much greater than what is shown on the drawings.
One large shipyard, two medium-sized shipyards, and two small shipyards.
In the large shipyard, a ship that is completely inconsistent with the style of the tenth level pirates has been completed.
It was longer than the sailing ships of this era, but also narrower.
The whole body is made of steel, there are no sails, and there is no auxiliary wheel like the navy's specifically used in windless zones.
And at the bottom of the stern, Sean saw something very familiar to him...
propeller...
Finally it tastes like that!!!
"Barry, please introduce me first!"
"Okay, Major General!"
Beside him, Barry nodded, his face also full of excitement.
Before coming to the East China Sea, he had never thought that he could actually create such a monster with his own hands.
At the same time, he also understood.
Ironclad ships are definitely the next new era of shipbuilding, and will be recorded in future history.
The world's first ironclad ship was built by Tabali.
For a shipbuilder of this era, what could be more exciting than this?
"This ship fully implements the theories you mentioned before, Major General. It is made entirely of steel, has no sails, and uses a screw propulsion method."
"The ship is 203 meters long, 22.7 meters wide, and has a draft of 7.1 meters."
"Without the weapon system, the displacement is 11,900 tons."
"After all weapons are installed, the full load displacement is 16,500 tons."
"The maximum speed can reach 27 knots!"
"Oh my God,
Major General, that’s Section 27, it’s like hell!”
When it came to speed, Barry himself jumped up with excitement.
After all, the world is still in the era of sailing ships, and the speed of ships is usually only 7 or 8 knots. Even some high-speed ships can only reach 10 knots.
What is the concept of verse 27?
The speed is almost tripled, okay?
"Okay Barry, I know, don't get excited!!"
Patting Barry on the shoulder, Sean said with a wry smile.
After this guy finished talking about the speed, his expression management instantly went out of control.
However, it's not that Sean can't understand his mood at the moment.
"By the way, Major General, that guy Franky modified the power system last night. He said it was you who told him?"
"Yes, I asked him to reduce his power by at least 30%. Is he done well?"
"It's done well, but why is that? It can obviously produce a speed of 27 knots, but after doing this, I'm afraid it can only produce 18 knots."
Barry looked heartbroken.
In his opinion, this is a complete waste!
This is like what?
It is obvious that the computing power can reach 1000tops, but after the chip was built, it was deliberately limited to 500tops.
This kind of behavior is completely incomprehensible to Barry.
"Okay, just this time."
"I have already told Franky to design a low-end version of the power system, but for this ship, there is no time, so we can only limit the original power."
"Okay, that's not bad. It would be such a waste if we created this kind of thing first and then forcibly weakened it."
After hearing Sean's explanation, Barry nodded.
In this case, he can still accept it.
------
After one hour.
All preparations are ready.
The launching ceremony begins.
After a moment, Sean's eyes widened.
Because this launching ceremony was completely different from what he thought.
Have you ever seen a human-powered launch?
Who said there are some roller-like things at the bottom of the warship, but...
More than 20 people can push a 10,000-ton warship. Can you believe it?
Well, this is the world of pirates!
It's simply outrageous.
As the warship was pushed into the sea, a violent wave arose.
A few seconds later.
Everyone cheered.
after all...
Although it works in theory, it remains to be seen whether a ship made entirely of steel can float on the water as theoretically possible.
No one except Sean knew about it until it actually hit the water.
But at this moment, when they saw the warship floating steadily on the water, they suddenly became excited.
Because these people will be recorded in history in the future.
this moment...
They ushered in a new era of new ships.
After everyone calmed down again, the first trial voyage began!
"Franky, how far can you sail with a supply of Coke?"
The warship began to slowly increase speed.
On the deck, Sean turned to someone who was posing excitedly and asked.
"About 3,000 nautical miles."
"How much coke does it take to replenish a supply?"
"Almost 30,000 bottles!"
Hearing this, Sean raised his eyebrows.
No wonder you obviously have technology, but the ship built for Luffy and the others in the original work is still a sailing ship.
Coke power is only used in some special means.
The real reason for feelings is too much consumption?
Ten thousand bottles of Coke...
Current sales of Coke
The price is 50 beli a bottle.
In other words, this supply is 1.5 million Baileys at a time?
Even if I acquire the Coke company now, I can theoretically only calculate the cost price, but I am afraid that it will consume nearly one million Baileys for each supply, right?
This is really not something ordinary people can afford.
Moreover, 3,000 nautical miles is still a bit meaningless.
Either...
Throughout the Coke supply ship?
Otherwise, unless supply bases are established all over the world, 3,000 seas will not be enough.
After a long voyage, I no longer have the motivation to come back, but is it okay?
"If you sail economically at a speed of 18 knots, the range can be increased to about 4,000 nautical miles."
Seeing Sean's expression, Franky quickly added.
27 knots is the maximum speed, and 18 knots is the most economical speed.
Also, if you maintain the maximum speed all the time, it will actually hurt the life of the power system.
Sean nodded.
He can understand this.
Again, after all, he has traveled through time. Even if he doesn't know the specific technical details, he still knows some common sense.
However, even at an economical speed of 4,000 nautical miles, it is still not very safe.
We still need to build a few Coke supply ships in the future.
------
The first trial voyage did not last long.
I just tested the power system, speed, etc. and it was over.
Of course, there will be several rounds of trials later, but Sean will not participate.
After all, there are many things waiting for him to deal with, and it is impossible to stay here for several days in a row.
After explaining the follow-up matters, he called Bruno and returned to the 16th branch.
Talk about it.
In three days, there will be something that Sean is very interested in.
That is, it is time for those sailors who failed the recruit assessment and had to go back and rebuild for three months to take the make-up examination.
I believe that this time, the number of qualified people will be over 90%.
Moreover, there is another strange person who will also participate in this assessment.
That is...
Usopp!
This guy was patting his chest and promising that he would be able to complete the training and pass the exam in three months.
Although during these three months, Sean arranged for him a quota of No. 2 dried meat.
But Sean is also very curious about whether he can pass the test.
There is another person.
Zoro!
He will also take the assessment three days later.
Although Sean promised to teach him to become stronger, at this moment, his physical condition was still too poor.
Therefore, Sean was thrown into the training camp and assigned a quota of No. 2 jerky.
However, unlike Usopp, Sean is not worried about Zoro at all. The only thing he is curious about is...
How many moves can Zoro learn?
------
Three days later.
Branch campus.
Today, both veterans and new recruits in the training camp, except those who are required to be on duty, all came here to watch.
When they heard that the assessment was about to take place, Taotu and the sailors under her command also rushed over.
Taotu was extremely curious about the assessment of the sixteen branches.
after all...
The standards I heard from Lu Qi before were really outrageous.
Even though she had seen a few ordinary sailors kill Neptunes before, she still didn't believe that such standards would be used in the recruit assessment.
At this moment, more than 100 people who failed the exam three months ago have all lined up in the school field.
The first round of assessment is still the same as before.
Power test!
Assessment standards, 300 questions
Strength means qualification!
Soon, a sailor who looked to be less than 20 years old came to one of the test machines.
"What do you think?"
At the edge of the school grounds, Taotu asked several of his subordinates.
"I think a maximum of 100 strength points is very powerful, given my age..."
The brigadier general said while watching the recruit pump his fist.
But before he could say anything, he was completely stunned.
next moment.
The veteran responsible for recording the results shouted.
"The power value is 358, the score is qualified, passed!"
A moment later, the voices of several other veterans came.
"The power value is 372, the score is qualified, passed!"
"The power value is 345, the score is qualified, passed!"
"The power value is 419, the score is qualified, passed!"
...
Let alone 300, even those with 350 in hell are just a few.
The brigadier general who had been saying just now that 100 was enough was completely stunned.
