Arceus in One Piece - Chapter 63
In a few days, the island made a simple plan, and the factories that had been shut down for a long time were once again in operation. Only the operation policy had changed a lot, and the people on the island went to the factories voluntarily to continue to work.
Although Kaido is the captain of the ship, it’s not uncommon for the captain to be in charge of the boat, and there is usually another person in charge of the ship.
So far, the one who is the best at managing people in the Beast Pirates is Asier, who used to be the administrator of Alchemy, so he has more experience in this field.
He was not a vicious pirate, so he didn’t oppress the islanders but offered them a certain amount of salary like a normal manager, only the amount was less than the outside, and those were counted as the taxes that the islanders had to pay.
In addition, the rules of the island were set up to limit the harassment of the residents by the pirates.
There was some opposition at first, something that was incomprehensible to many of the pirates, but their opposition was meaningless. Kaido didn’t care about it, and Asier’s actions were supported by Alzheimer’s, which indirectly led to the approval of all the officers.
Queen didn’t think it mattered, as his interests weren’t jeopardized anyway, and Acier, not being a deadbeat, knew that these pirates weren’t the usual Regents, so he made stricter demands on the islanders, which could be said to have polarized the island’s position.
However, not only did the islanders not rebel against such demands, they were happy instead. Compared to John’s reign, Asier’s policy was much better.
During John’s reign, they had to work in the factories without pay. They worked to keep themselves alive. John’s territory did not need worthless people, and if they could not show their worth, then John’s crew would not give out any food.
In Winterland, this sort of thing is almost fatal.
Now, although the work requirements set by Asier are also mandatory, in addition to the necessary food, a portion of the wages will also be paid, which is already a great change for the people on the island.
As for the captured pirates, their status was even lower than that of civilians, and there was another business on the island besides the arms business – mining.
Mining in Winter Island’s climate is undoubtedly a very difficult task, so the job was given to the more energetic pirates, and also to those of the Hundred Beasts Pirates, who were the overseers of the mines, to vent their emotions.
For these pirates, Asier’s policy was less restrictive, with no special restrictions on scolding or anything else.
The flag of the Hundred Beasts Pirates flew over the island, giving it some stability.
Kaido then began to expand to the surrounding islands with this island as the center, and his policy was simple.
Those pirates who surrendered to Kaido were taken under his command, those who resisted were given a chance if Kaido liked them, and the rest were thrown into the mines and farms of the neighboring islands.
Winter Island alone is dependent on the outside world, but the nearby islands together form a complete chain of industry, mining, manufacturing, food production, etc. Shaina and Ashes follow Kaido.
Shaina and Ashes went with Kaido to the construction site, while Al-Zeus took Queen and Asier to the island’s factories to work on the “slate radar” thing.
“Do you remember how that thing is made?”
Looking at the surroundings, Alzheimer’s understood the reason why this island was founded.
There are factories on every island, so there may be better places to choose for simply making arms, but there is actually a very precise machine tool on this island that can process even finer parts.
“This is it; back in the day, this was also one of the secret bases of MADS, and this is what we left behind.”
“With this, you can build it?”
“Well… I’m still determining. Bergabonk only made an experimental machine, and it’s still half-finished, but I know the idea well, and it can be replicated with some time.
The conductivity of pure gold should be sufficient.”
“I haven’t forgotten about the production method of pure gold, but there is a problem; I read earlier that many materials of pure gold are prohibited nowadays, so if they are purchased in large quantities, they will probably attract the attention of the government.”
“Mhahahaha, don’t worry about that. The last thing this world lacks is the gray industry. Even if it’s the world government, they can’t get a hold of the underground market all over the world, let alone in the new world.”
“Really, I won’t talk about the common materials; these are some of the scarce resources. You see if you can get them.”
Asier handed Queen a list of materials with ratios and synthesis methods. It was useful to just take this away. He wasn’t afraid of exposing this.
Upon seeing the list of materials, a few drops of sweat ran down Queen’s head.
“Lord Alzeus, perhaps our plan isn’t going as well as it should?”
“Why.”
“The materials. Fresh branches and leaves from the precious tree Adam, egg shells from island turtles, such things are rare and expensive, but there are ways to find them. It takes time, but the problem is, some of the materials have long been extinct.”
More than a hundred years have passed since the day he made pure gold, and there are many things that have happened in this hundred years. The Emperor’s Fever of the South Seas being conquered is considered to be something in the medical field.
But at the same time, quite a few creatures and plants were declared extinct during this period of time. The production of pure gold is a complex synthesis of minerals. There are some animal and plant components in it.
Let me know if there is anything else I can help you with.?”That is to say, on this ring is the last pure gold?”
“This… I’m afraid that’s the case. Maybe there’s still some left in the inventory of Swift Island or some people, but…” Queen didn’t continue. There was nothing he could do about it. He couldn’t change the materials that were already extinct.
In the beginning, the sea king class’s stomach is still a lot of pure gold, but at that time, he did not care about this kind of thing. Now that the sea king class should have long become other creatures of the nutrients, in terms of the specific gravity of the pure gold, such a long time do not know by the sea current carried to the deep sea of which position.
Looking for pure gold is like looking for a needle in a haystack; it’s better to look for stone slabs directly.
“Summarize some of those materials and take your time to find them, try with what you have on hand first.”
The news didn’t make him too happy, but he didn’t release his emotions onto Asier or Queen. It was an uncontrollable factor, after all.
As for using the power of time and space to go back in time to look for materials, by the time he had the power of time and space, he would have been back to his prime, and there would be no need to do such a thing.
With the help of Alzheimer’s, Queen and Asier stayed in the lab for a few months, but the effort was not in vain, and a slate radar with a perceived radius of about one kilometer was successfully constructed.
