Chapter 643 Shocking the World, Attack of Vegapunk! (2 in 1)

The return of Vegapunk will undoubtedly add tremendous combat power to the new navy.

Although Vegapunk himself is not a top-level warrior, for a force, Vegapunk is even more important than a general-level warrior.

It is true that the admiral is the top combat force in this world, but there is only one admiral. The sea is so vast that no matter how powerful a person is, it is impossible for him to be able to take care of everything and protect everyone within his territory.

But Vegapunk is different. The abilities he possesses can enable ordinary navy to have the power to fight against powerful pirates. Although the Seraph technology cannot perfectly replicate the combat power of the admiral level, it is not difficult for the Seraph to deal with most pirates whose bounties do not exceed 1.5 billion.

What's more rare is that the effort required to create a Seraph is far less than that required to train a general.

This enables a significant increase in the strength of the new navy.

When they completely transform the resources they currently have into combat power, the new navy will undoubtedly become the most powerful force in the world.

Far beyond the world government.

Today's new navy already possesses the powerful force to influence the world, and now, they will have the decisive power to control this world!
After Vegapunk returned to the New Navy, he did not choose to move his base, and he did not plan to establish a new scientific research base in Wan Guo.

In his opinion, Lord Lantern's stomach island is the most perfect base in the world.

Lord Lantern has been completely transformed by Vegapunk and no longer has his own consciousness. The people who control his body are Vegapunk and his clones.

This base has strong mobility and concealment. Its only drawback is that the mineral resources on the stomach island are extremely scarce, and there is no way to grow food, so all supplies need to be transported from the outside world.

Previously, Vegapunk was able to make some research results in Lord Lantern's belly, but he had to rely on the existing materials on the islands and warships that were swallowed by Lord Lantern at that time.

Now Vegapunk needs to assist Yoshiichi Tsugakuni in completely arming the new navy, which is naturally impossible to do relying on the existing resources on the stomach island.

To this end, the new navy also began to continuously transfer supplies from other regions to Stomach Island, hoping that Vegapunk would help the new navy to upgrade and improve its equipment as soon as possible.

This is an extremely long process in itself. The iteration of weapons and equipment often requires the efforts of several generations before there is a chance to achieve a technological leap.

You know, in the hundreds of years since the establishment of the World Government, the technological development of this world has almost stagnated, wooden sailing ships are still the mainstream of this world, and the appearance of flintlock rifles was already hundreds of years ago.

It would be an extremely difficult task for the new navy to crush other forces in terms of weapons.

However, this kind of thing is obviously not a difficult thing for Vegapunk.

Vegapunk's scientific research capabilities are unquestionable. In an era when electricity was not yet widely available, Vegapunk was even able to give robots their own intelligence and realize the practical application of cloning technology.

His existence itself seems to be synonymous with "future technology".

What's more crucial is that Yuichi Tsugakuni has truly witnessed the so-called "future technology". When it comes to helping the new navy upgrade its equipment, all Vegapunk has to do is realize the idea in Yuichi Tsugakuni's mind.

In order to improve the weapons used by grassroots soldiers, Vegapunk even temporarily stopped his analysis and research on Yixiao's bloodline factors, and personally took action to frequently communicate with Jikuni Yuichiro to discuss matters related to weapons.

"The reloading of flintlock rifles is really too slow. Soldiers fighting on the front line often find it difficult to complete a second reload in close combat against the enemy."

"I hope to use a magazine connected to the barrel to achieve automatic loading, automatic feeding, and continuous firing." In the stomach island of Lord Lantern, Ji Guoyuanyi was sitting on a sofa in a laboratory, holding a pencil in his hand, drawing a schematic diagram on a draft paper.

Although Yoriichirō's swordsmanship is unparalleled, his painting skills are just average. Vegapunk looked at the sketch drawn by Yoriichirō and instantly understood what Yoriichirō Tsugikuni meant.

"It's not difficult to fire continuously. Some pistols can do this now. They can load up to five bullets at a time. However, the burst mechanism is mature. The main problem is feeding the bullets."

"You mentioned a magazine that can automatically refill a gun... This is a good idea. I will try to realize it."

As Vegapunk listened to Yoshiichirō's idea, he nodded and felt as if everything had suddenly become clear to him.

Although it was just a small idea, Vegapunk knew that once he completed Tsugikoku Yoshiichi's idea, the power of the gun would be more than doubled!

Very few new sailors can hit the vital points with every shot, but if they are given the opportunity to fire twenty or thirty shots, the possibility of hitting the vital points will naturally increase greatly.

"As for the research on magazines, our new navy's equipment research and development department has actually started it a long time ago. The biggest problem at the moment is that there is no way to make springs."

"Doctor, I need your help to solve this problem."

As he spoke, Tsugikoku Yoshiichi drew a simple sketch of a spring and looked at Vegapunk with anticipation in his eyes.

Springs are not simple things. Springs required for different scenarios have different requirements.

Firearms are just one of the many application scenarios of springs.

Springs made of different materials have different effects. It does not mean that just bending a round steel into a spring will definitely work.

The people in the new naval equipment department are basically various craftsmen from the Handicraft Island. It is naturally no problem to ask them to do manual work. As long as Yuichi can make clear requirements, they can almost give Yuichi a look in the production.

But design and manufacturing are two completely different concepts, and scientists and craftsmen are two completely different types of talents.

The person who can promote the development of firearms must be a scholar with outstanding wisdom like Vegapunk.

"Huh? A spring?"

"I will find ways to solve these problems, and when the technology matures, I will design an automated production line for gun production."

"During this period of time, you only need to satisfy the material supply as much as possible. As for the rest, I will satisfy you!"

"By the way, the warship transformation can also be carried out at the same time. Over the years, I have transformed Lantern-sama and created a lot of functional robots that can be of great use in the transformation of warships."

"In order to make the new navy strong enough as soon as possible, let's push forward these projects at the same time!"

Vegapunk is more ambitious than Yoriichi Tsugakuni.

Yes, for him, the moment Seraph came into the world, he couldn't wait to use his power to bring peace to the world.

If it weren't for Yoshiichi Tsugakuni's desire for safety and stopping Vegapunk, the Seraph would have already rushed out of the Bankoi and been on the front line in the fight against the pirates.

However, Vegapunk finally understood the principle of sharpening the knife before chopping wood, and knew that a few Seraphs could not bring about a radical change in the world. What he had to do was to create more Seraphs and more advanced weapons and equipment so that the new navy could speed up the pace of unifying the new world.

……

Vegapunk's confidence was not without reason. In just one week, the first generation of magazines had been designed and samples and matching guns had been manufactured. The magazine capacity was not large, only 20 rounds, but the appearance of this magazine also meant that the new navy's thermal weapons had entered a new stage.

Not only that, in this short week, Vegapunk also studied the rifling processed by the craftsmen based on Tsugikuni Yoshiichi's description, and briefly studied the conical bullets.

Some changes and adjustments were also made to the firearms and bullets, and a sample gun was made which Vegapunk named Pioneer.

When the Pioneer was being tested, the top brass of the new navy all came to the shooting range. Except for Yoriichi Tsugakuni and the knowledgeable Zephyr and Kuzan, the others had basically no expectations for the new firearms. The main reason they came was to give Vegapunk face.

But when a series of "bang bang bang" gunshots were heard in the ten-meter shooting range, completely breaking a 15mm thick steel plate, everyone's expressions changed.

Although the firearms used by the new navy were a little more advanced than those of other forces, a thicker wooden table could block the bullets. During naval battles, the distance was far and the firearms could not even threaten the pirates on other ships who were relying on the hull for protection.

But this weapon called Pioneer is different. It can penetrate steel plates, and even some not very thick ship planks. If a bullet of such power hits the human body, I am afraid that even those who have just started to learn Armament Haki will not be able to resist such an attack!
This gun can greatly enhance the combat effectiveness of ordinary people, and more importantly, this gun can fire continuously and is extremely convenient to load!

"Crack!"

At the shooting range, assisting in the firearms demonstration, Luo raised a rifle that looked like an AK with one hand, gently blew away the smoke from the muzzle, and then quickly removed the magazine, replaced it with a new one, pulled the bolt, and started shooting again.

The steel plate, which was already riddled with bullet holes, was shot in half, and the uneven fracture made the new navy members stunned.

"How is it? Are you satisfied?"

Vegapunk looked at the new gun he had made with a look of pride on his face.

Without waiting for Yuan Yi and the others to speak, Betopunk said to himself: "Well, as a single-soldier weapon, this is actually a little bit lacking."

"But it doesn't matter. I made something better. You will definitely be satisfied."

"Robin."

As he spoke, Vegapunk called out Robin's name, and the latter understood. She crossed her hands, used the power of the Hana-Hana Nomi to open the large box beside her, and then took out a three-meter-long gun from it and passed it back to her own hand.

At the same time, a roll of chain bullets was taken out of the box and handed to Robin.

"This is……"

Seeing the gun, Yuanyi's expression was slightly tense, and he was a little surprised.

"I named it The Terminator!"

"The messenger who ends the great era of pirates!"

Vegapunk smiled brightly, and Robin pulled the bolt after loading the bullet and then pulled the trigger.

"Beep beep beep..."

Dull and dense gunshots rang out at the shooting range. In just a few seconds, Robin had fired all the hundreds of bullets in the roll.

The steel target in the distance had disappeared without a trace, and was broken into several pieces scattered on the ground.

The gunfire stopped, and Vegapunk looked at the new navy members beside him with pride, his face full of complacency.

"What do you think of this Terminator?!" In fact, this was an unnecessary question. Except for Yuichirō, the others had already been shocked by this advanced weapon.

Even Yuichiro Tsugikoshi's expression froze for a moment after he saw this Maxim from another world.

Vegapunk is truly a genius among geniuses. He only heard about Tsugikoku Yoshiichi's idea of ​​a rapid-fire firearm a week ago, but in such a short period of time he was able to draw inferences from it and create such a horrific killing weapon.

Yuichiro Tsugikuni believed that it would not be long before the world would undergo tremendous changes because of these two super weapons.

How many pirates couldn't even stop a flintlock? ! Of those who could stop a flintlock bullet, how many could stop an "AK" or a "Maxim"?
Except for natural-type and some superhuman-type people and some powerful armed Haki masters, most people should not be able to withstand firearms of this power.

When he thought about the effect these two weapons would have in future wars, Yunyi smiled faintly:

"Dr. Vegapunk, you will be remembered by everyone."

"Although the Seraphs are extremely powerful, the ones who can still scare the pirates are probably your Pioneers and Terminators."

A flattery made Vegapunk smile happily.

Other senior officials of the new navy also looked at Vegapunk differently. They all realized what kind of changes this top scientist could bring to the new navy.

Yes, Vegapunk's strength is indeed not as good as all of them, but his role will only be greater than theirs.

It is no wonder that when the World Government learned that Vegapunk was taken away from Egg Island by the New Navy, it did not hesitate to choose to go into direct battle with the New Navy, which was in its heyday.

When the Kingdom of Alabasta was robbed, if you look closely, it was closely related to Vegapunk.

The World Government fears Yoriichi Tsugakuni, and is even more afraid of Yoriichi Tsugakuni who has joined forces with Vegapunk.

"If stability is not a problem, find a way to equip them in large quantities."

"Start with the troops on the front line!"

Yoshiichi Tsugakuni acted decisively and immediately gave Vegapunk the greatest support he could.

Under the leadership of Vegapunk, a number of automated arsenals were built in Lord Lantern's stomach island, and exhaust gas and wastewater were discharged into the sea through Lord Lantern's body.

When the Arsenal began to officially operate, Vegapunk's decision-making at that time also reflected its foresight.

Lord Lantern can be moved, and the pollution from the arsenal will not affect Cake Island in the slightest.

This level of pollution is not a problem for the vast ocean and can be easily purified through circulation.
