Pirates: After being exiled by the Warring States Period, I started building a city

Chapter 425 I can’t push it!

"Space jump, are you sure?"

"yes, I'm sure!"

During the mobile video call, after hearing Luo Lan's words, Silas nodded heavily.

At this moment, he still didn't know how big of an impact this answer would have on Luo Lan.

According to the history that Luo Lan knew.

Before Joy Boy appeared, although the technology of the Gigantic Kingdom was far more advanced than that of other kingdoms in the pirate world, the gap was not as exaggerated as imagined.

At that time, the huge kingdom was roughly at the level between World War I and World War II in its previous life.

Other kingdoms were in the era of matchlock guns + muzzle-loading smoothbore cannons + sailing ships.

Moreover, the huge kingdom does not have the so-called three ancient weapons.

But after Joyboy appeared, the huge kingdom instantly spanned hundreds or even thousands of years.

Not only did he create Pluto, the god of the underworld, and Uranus, the king of the sky, but with Joy Boy's subsequent continuous transformation, Uranus could even break through the planet's atmosphere and enter space.

Not to mention his research results in the field of genetics, which are even more incredible.

Not only did he create Poseidon, the King of the Sea, but he also invented the Devil Fruit.

The most important thing is that Luo Lan has always felt that the names of the three ancient weapons created by Joy Boy are very strange.

Because these three names...

It was exactly the same as what he knew in his previous life.

You know, according to the history of the pirate world, there were no legends about these three people in ancient times.

So, how did Joy Boy know about the legend of the Earth God and use its name for the three ancient weapons in the One Piece world?

This is very questionable.

Moreover, extending from this point, Luo Lan also thought of another question.

Vegapunk compared his own and Im's bloodline factors, and the result was...

Yim and I are mother and son!

Although Luo Lan did not agree with this, because he was wearing and was undoubtedly an Earthling.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have been unable to practice for the first 20 years because of my Earthling body.

And with the body of an Earthling, could he be Im's biological son?

Obviously this is impossible.

This was also the main reason why Luo Lan had always believed that there must be something wrong and that he could not be Yim's son.

But now comes the problem.

What if Joy Boy is also a traveler from Earth, or even the entire huge kingdom is full of travelers from Earth?

After all, according to historical records, although the huge kingdom has advanced technology, its individual military strength is very low.

If we apply the physical characteristics of Earthlings, then wouldn't this situation instantly make sense?

Of course, there are many questions here.

For example, if the entire huge kingdom was filled with travelers from Earth, and brought technology to the pirate world...

So why did it take so long to develop and only reach the technological level before Joy Boy?

For another example, Joyboy is not the first generation of the huge kingdom, but a person who came after the unknown machine age.

Even if the first generation of the huge kingdom were travelers from Earth, why did it not suddenly explode until Joy Boy appeared?

Not always...

This guy Joey Boy, got a system, right?

Luo Lan smiled bitterly and shook his head.

There are so many questions.

And even everything that happened before was explained.

But it also doesn't explain another thing, which is...

I am indeed a time traveler from Earth, and I remember everything from my childhood to the present.

There is no way he is the son of Im and Joyboy.

Luo Lan shook his head again and stopped thinking about these headaches.

Continuing, he looked at Silas on the video communication.

"Silas, how long will it take you to build this thing?"

"Marshal, I don't recommend making it now!"

"Oh why?"

Luo Lan was slightly stunned, but he knew very well that Silas must have a reason for saying that.

"I have read all the information about this technology. The reason why Joy Boy did not manufacture it immediately was not only because he was sent to the Tianlong Kingdom by the king of the giant kingdom at that time, but also because he was unable to manufacture it!"

"Because the core part of the jump engine needs to be made of degenerate materials. Although we have the means to produce this material now, one, it can only be produced in the laboratory and cannot be mass-produced. Another is that the cost is too high. If we want to build a jump engine, it will take at least several years just to produce this material."

"At that time, Joyboy's production environment was not as good as what we have on Rhodes Island now!"

"But once the super space factory is built, we can easily mass-produce degenerate materials. Then, through the production lines and equipment there, with a little modification, we can produce ten jump engines a day at full capacity without any problem."

Hearing this, Luo Lan nodded.

So that's what happened.

Indeed, laboratory manufacturing and large-scale mass production are two completely different concepts.

For example.

Take the chips of the past for example. Do you think that domestic laboratories are unable to produce high-process chips?

In fact, laboratories can be manufactured.

Photolithography machines have never been the only way to manufacture chips, but they are currently the most technologically mature and lowest-cost method.

Even without a lithography machine, the laboratory can produce high-process chips for you through other means.

It’s just that the cost of making a chip for others is several hundred, while the cost of making one in a laboratory through other means may be thousands or even tens of thousands.

Therefore, just because a product can be manufactured in a laboratory does not mean it can be put into commercial use.

These are two different things.

The same situation applies here.

With the current equipment at the Rhode Island Department of Science, it is indeed possible to produce degenerate materials.

However, you can't do it if you want to mass produce it.

Not only is the cost high, but the speed is also slow.

And this no longer needs to continue.

On the contrary, the equipment in the super space factory is much more advanced than the equipment on Rhodes Island today.

There, large-scale mass production of degenerate materials is not a problem at all.

"Well..."

"Then let's put this matter aside for now. Once the super space factory is completed, we will immediately start mass production of degenerate materials and jump engines!"

"By the way, it seems this thing can also be used as battleship armor, right?"

Suddenly, Luo Lan thought of another question and asked.

"Yes, Marshal!"

"If the outer armor of a battleship is made entirely of degenerate materials, then even if it stops there and is bombarded by pirates, it will never be broken!"

"Even the so-called king-level combat power is probably unable to do anything to it. Only the strong ones with the power of starburst mentioned by those pirates before can destroy the armor made of degenerate materials."

"only..."

Silas paused at this point.

Then...

"However, if a warship is built entirely of degenerate materials, its mass will probably be comparable to that of our Blue Planet. How can we propel it..."

“It’s a big problem!!”
