Chapter 282 Technology Layout
After leaving the Vegapunk Laboratory, Lex went to Dr. Indigo's laboratory first.
Roy took Stuthy to inspect other projects of the West Sky Top Research Institute.
The West Sky Top Research Institute was secretly established long before Lex went out to sea. It can be said to be a crucial part of Lex's many plans.
Since Vegapunk came, in the past five years, the institute has carried out one major project after another, whether it is the "style" transformation plan, the production chain technology of artificial devil fruits, or the seastone inlay technology, all of these have been completed.
In addition, the "Solar Spark" project that Vegapunk has been concentrating on recently is undoubtedly the most important and key achievement in Lex's opinion.
Because at this moment in Dr. Indigo's laboratory——
Lex and Dr. Indigo were discussing some secrets:
"Indigo, how far has Vegapunk's research on the Sunspark progressed? Can you take over?"
Leave professional matters to professionals. This is the principle that Lex believes in.
In terms of science, Dr. Indigo, the crazy scientist who has followed Golden Lion and himself for decades, and now the user of the Cell Fruit, is undoubtedly Lex's greatest confidant and a man Lex values very much. To some extent, Indigo's importance is no less than that of a super king-level fighter.
Dr. Indigo had anticipated Lex's questions, and at this moment he told him all the information he had:
"Reporting to the young master, based on my secret observations of Vegapunk and my participation in the project, the Solar Spark Project has completed the most critical part under Vegapunk's unremitting development, which is the stable control of nuclear fusion. Based on this, the magnetic ring spiral technology is used to develop a stable Solar Spark."
Although Lex mainly relies on his own strength, he at least has some basic knowledge of science, and he can understand what Indigo said.
After a pause, Dr. Indigo continued his analysis:
"As for replacing him, I think you don't need to rush. Although I have expanded my brain through the in-depth development of the Cell Fruit over the past few years, and my wisdom and knowledge storage are no less than Vegapunk's, I have to admit that Vegapunk's technology does have its merits. In addition, the technology of the ancient giant kingdom that he mastered seems to be reserved, and I did not succeed in stealing it all."
Hearing this, Lex's mind moved, he thought for a while, and said slowly:
"…Then let's wait a little longer. The year 1498 of the Haiyuan calendar is a turning point. By then, we will launch an unprecedented war and completely divide the world... Vegapunk will definitely not allow a war of this nature to happen, so before that, Indigo, you must work hard to squeeze out every last bit of his value. As for his ancient technologies, you don't have to worry about them. Just let the master read his memory before he dies and then transfer it to you."
Dr. Indigo nodded to show that he understood, and then asked:
"Then, young master, would you like to tell Vegapunk a little about the restoration plan for Pluto? This will speed up the restoration process and get a complete restoration sooner..."
Before Indigo finished speaking, Lex shook his head firmly and said in a deep voice:
"You don't have to tell Vegapunk. You can accomplish this with your current scientific attainments. As for the time, don't worry. If you can't finish it in one year, then five years. If not, then ten years. It doesn't matter if it's slower. In short, the ancient weapon must be firmly in our hands and cannot be revealed to anyone. This is a very important card for us."
That's right, Lex had secretly obtained one of the ancient weapons, Pluto!!! ~
That was when Rex secretly went to Wano Country a few years ago, and he and the Red Earl used their observation Haki to search around the clock and found Pluto, the god of the underworld, buried deep underground in Wano Country.
I have to say, Pluto is really well hidden.
As we all know, since the great war 800 years ago, the sea level of Wano Country has risen, the entire country has been raised a lot, and Pluto has been buried deep in a cave close to the seabed.
Pluto is a creation of technology, and it is difficult to directly lock onto his Observation Haki. Fortunately, the people who are searching are Lex and Red Earl, both of whom are men who have achieved the highest level of Observation Haki.
Especially when Lex's space fruit is combined with his observation Haki, it is more powerful than radar and can provide ultra-large-scale all-weather search, so it can always find the target accurately.
The Red Count's observation Haki, combined with the low-frequency electromagnetic waves released by the vampire fruit, can also sense creatures made of special materials like Pluto.
So after the master and disciple's tireless search, Pluto was naturally obtained secretly by Lex, directly incorporated into Lex's alien space, and taken away.
Very few people know about this. Currently, only Lex, the Red Earl, and Dr. Indigo, who is responsible for repairing the damage caused by Pluto's disrepair, know about it.
The importance of Pluto to Lex is like pure gold. It was several years after he got the pure gold that Lex told his uncle and adoptive father White Beard. This shows how good Lex is at hiding things.
As for Pluto, Lex also plans to continue hiding.
Thinking of this, Lex continued to say to Dr. Indigo:
"I will send you the manufacturing drawings of Pluto in a few days. You can combine the drawings with the existing Pluto and try to build more Pluto warships for me!"
!!! ~
Hearing this, even Dr. Indigo, who is currently the second-best scientist in the world, couldn't help but be shocked by the magnitude of Lex's work!
Not satisfied with a complete ancient weapon, Pluto, he actually wants to create more evil warships - Pluto! ~
Dr. Indigo did not question where Lex got the manufacturing drawings of Pluto, but after thinking about it, he said hesitantly:
"But, young master, the manufacturing cost of Pluto is too huge. Based on my repairs of Pluto battleships in the past few years, I have basically understood its manufacturing materials. Not to mention the assembly technology, the smelting and purification of many ores alone is difficult to complete with current technology. Repairing Pluto battleships is already extremely difficult. As for manufacturing multiple levels of Pluto battleships, is this -"
Lex smiled suddenly:
"Indigo, why did you become so reserved after eating the Cell Fruit? You can throw the technical difficulties to Vegapunk in another way. I believe that with your current level, he won't be able to figure out the clues. As for the materials, if you don't have them, find the most suitable substitutes. Even if the warships you make are not as good as the real ancient weapons, as long as there are enough of them, it can be regarded as a huge hidden trump card."
Dr. Indigo suddenly came to his senses.
