After resting in the City of Sails for a full week, the Ark of Enthusiasm, which had been replenished, set sail again and headed towards the windless zone.
During this period, the design plan for the central island of Ark of Passion was finally released.
Pierre Lescaut, the master architect who was picked up by Robin and Wu Hongji in the Kingdom of Goa in the East China Sea, finally came up with what he thought was a perfect design after a long period of seclusion.
In the conference room, several foremans gathered together and carefully studied the dozens of design drawings.
Pierre is no longer as embarrassed and lonely as before. Although he has swollen eyes, sunken cheeks, and unshaven beard, and is thinner than before, his eyes are piercing and his skinny body seems to be burning with an unquenchable fire.
"Renovate the high-slope roof into a flat roof? It's too messy. Is this really beautiful? Doubling the size of the main hall... This is feasible."
Bingshan, who had a short beard, took one of the design drawings and nodded while looking at it, "Connect it to the two side halls, and build a square in the south area surrounded by it... Is it a fountain square?"
Pierre shook his head and took one out of dozens of design drawings and handed it to Bingshan, "If you don't use a fountain design, it would be too similar and have no sense of innovation. Build the entire inner square into a shallow water square with an inner bottom."
Mirror marble is used, and the average water depth does not exceed 10 centimeters.”
When the iceberg unfolds the design drawing, what comes into view is the design plan and material subdivision of the entire square, and it also has a detailed pyramid shape.
"This pyramid...?" Bingshan was a little confused, and Jig also came over to look at the design drawings.
"A transparent pyramid made entirely of glass and steel stands in the center of the shallow water square, and is also located directly south of the main entrance of the main hall." Pierre gestured with his hands in the air, speaking excitedly.
"Through sunlight, the light will achieve a wonderful balance between the transparent pyramid and the water surface, giving people a luxurious but not vulgar brilliant beauty. At the same time, lights are cleverly set up in the main hall, side halls and certain locations of the pyramid, and
Set up waterproof lights at the bottom of the shallow water square, and when the lights are turned on at night, the entire palace area will become magnificent!"
Several foremen imagined the scene and suddenly became excited, and they got together with Pierre to discuss it carefully.
Franky was called aside by Victor to discuss the issue of arming the Ark of Passion.
"...Generally speaking, in the battle of [Southern Sea Battle], Passionate Ark performed pretty well, but it cannot be said to be super."
Franky touched his chin and concluded, "There are currently several problems exposed - weak defense, weak firepower, and poor mobility."
"Huh? The firepower of Ark of Enthusiasm is still weak?" Perona looked surprised. "Little Enthusiasm killed more than ten warships with one salvo of artillery!"
"According to the size of Ark of Passion, the firepower is indeed weak." Franky shook his head. "It is mainly reflected in the low level of the artillery and the long loading interval. The power of the artillery salvo is indeed super powerful, but every round
The interval between shots is too long, and there is no chance of firing a second salvo against an opponent with such powerful firepower."
Victor touched his chin, thoughtfully, "...I see, so where is the main gun?"
"The triple fortress cannon sent by the World Government is very powerful, but it also has great side effects." Franky scratched the back of his head. "The difficulty of loading is a big problem. In addition, after each bombardment, the cannon body will be super overheated, even if it is equipped
It is also difficult for a complete maintenance team to carry out cooling operations for the gun body in a short period of time. That..."
"Huh?" Victor looked at Franky who was hesitant to speak strangely, and laughed and said, "Just say what you have to say, do you still have this feeling of 'shyness'?"
"Well... I just think... even if the triple fortress cannon is used as the main gun of the Ark of Passion, it is still not qualified."
After hearing this, Victor just shook his head, "This is already the most powerful artillery I can get. You must know that triple fortress cannons are usually powerful weapons assigned to naval branch fortresses stationed on important islands. They are very rare in the world. I
But it took a lot of effort to convince Wulaoxing to give up these two fortress cannons."
Franky thought about it and stopped talking, but he obviously had his own plan.
Victor thought for a while and then said, "The weak defense problem you mentioned does need to be paid attention to. However, replacing the materials for the entire Ark of Passion hull is a huge project. Even if it is to be implemented, it will have to wait until the four-sea cruise is completed before starting."
Funds are not the problem, the key is the time and manpower consumed.
As for what Franky said about 'poor maneuverability', Victor had no good solution for the moment. The Passionate Ark was huge, which had its advantages and disadvantages, and poor maneuverability was one of them. Straight-line navigation was okay, but when an emergency large-angle deflection was needed, it
Don’t expect anything amazing from Ark of Passion.
Reminds me of the Titanic... Bah, bah, bah! How unlucky!
At this time, Victor suddenly got excited and looked up in the direction of the main hall, "...I'm sorry, I'll leave first."
As soon as he finished speaking, he drew a zipper out of thin air and stepped into the deep zipper space. When his figure completely disappeared into the conference room, the zipper closed automatically and disappeared without a trace.
"No matter how many times I watch it, I always feel that this [Air Open Chain] is really super powerful." Franky exclaimed, "The boss is simply invincible in the development of Devil Fruits."
Perona guessed why Victor left suddenly, and just secretly cheered for Victor.
Come on, brother, you will definitely succeed.
……………………
The main hall of the central island of Ark of Passion, a certain secret room.
In the spacious room, there is a platform similar to an operating table. The entire platform is made of zippers.
Lying on the platform was a strange robot-shaped doll. It was silver-white in color and seemed to be made of various toy parts. There was a V-shaped mark on its chest.
Steel Chain Fingers and Melancholy Blues stand quietly on both sides of the platform.
The steel-chained man covered in blue armor holds his arms with his fingers, while the purple doll Melancholy Blues has one hand on his hip in a strange posture.
At this time, a zipper appeared out of thin air in the secret room, and then Victor walked out of it.
He slowly walked to the platform, carefully observed the shape of the silver-white robot, and finally nodded with satisfaction.
"Finally done."
Victor spread his right hand, a zipper space opened in the palm of his hand, and a sealed box floated out of it.
After holding the box and opening the lid, a purple oval cantaloupe lay quietly inside, covered with an arabic-shaped spiral pattern.
"Success depends on this time." Victor picked up the Devil Fruit, then looked at the robot lying quietly on the platform, his tone was calm with a hint of complexity.
