Acierr and Vegapunk exchanged glances with each other before Acierr said, "I'll come first!"
"Currently, the improvement of samurai swords has almost reached its limit."
"From here onwards, unless more precious metal materials are incorporated, it's difficult to improve the quality. But if the quality is improved using precious metals, there is a high probability that it will not be possible to mass-produce them!"
"At the same time, it also needs to be made by a famous and experienced craftsman! So it's reached a threshold for the time being."
"The same goes for other weapons!"
"The improvement of firearms is already in progress, but it still needs a lot of time for testing.
"In terms of artillery..."
Acierr eloquently talked about different projects and everyone present listened with gusto, for fear of missing something.
This is all related to their future team development, who dare not care?
In the end, Acierr said: "The biggest difficulty at present is not the technical problem, but the lack of material supply!"
When it comes to materials, that is Wano country's internal affairs because unlike other countries, Wano country has rich mineral resources and is self sufficient.
Will looked at Shimotsuki Yasuie.
When the topic came to himself, Yasuie became a little nervous.
But it can't be helped either, after all, the people here are either extremely powerful in terms of strength or they are extremely powerful in a certain way like research.
"General, ore mining, smelting and processing are already at the limit of what our current manpower can do at present. If we deploy more manpower, it will hurt the foundation of Wano country!"
"There are also many minerals, metals, and materials that Wano country does not have and need to be purchased from outside..."
All in all, Shimotsuki Yasuie said it a little eloquently but his actual meaning was that no money, no channels!
This is also a sequela caused by too much strength development.
It hasn't been long since Wano country removed the closed door restrictions and many things are waiting to be done.
At the same time, Rocks Pirate group is developing too fast, there is no buffer time.
So some things can't compare to those long established forces with proper foundation and channels.
Will naturally wouldn't blame the other party for this.
"I will find a way to solve these. So let it be like this for the time being, without deploying more manpower!"
Will's words let Shimotsuki Yasuie's heart relax.
He was really afraid that Will would desperately recruit the people of Wano country to work in mines.
This general is exactly as he said at the beginning.
His tolerance and kindness are only for his own people! In a way, it's a good thing for Wano country.
Anyhow, after Acierr's report, it was Vegapunk's turn.
"There are three studies currently in progress!"
"The first is the production of artificial Devil Fruit~`!"
All the people present were engrossed after hearing about man-made Devil Fruit!
If it is produced on a large scale, Rocks Pirate will have the only army composed of devil fruit users in this sea!
"Currently the technology we have mastered can only produce Zoan man-made Devil Fruit!"
Will already knew this.
The reason why only Zoan devil fruit can be made is because of the lineage factor involved.
What Vegapunk does is, he extracts certain genetic characteristics from animals which is then fused into the special substance for making Devil Fruit, which is the raw material named SAD by Caesar.
After being processed by special means, Devil Fruit can be manufactured artificially.
But for other devil fruits like Logia and Paramecia, with the current technology, it is impossible to extract that kind of characteristics, and it is impossible to integrate with SAD.
Vegapunk continued calmly :
"However, due to the lack of raw materials for SAD, it is currently impossible to continue manufacturing!"
Hearing this, Will looked at Shimotsuki Yasuie again.
"What are the updates on SAD raw material cultivation now?"
"Because of the lack of manpower, the progress is a bit slow!"
While answering, Shimotsuki Yasuie felt that he was a little too useless, and none of the things he was asked to do went smoothly.
"Then let's buy from outside first!"
Will made a decision right away.
Although he knew that such an action would definitely attract the attention of the World government
But it doesn't matter now.
Anyway, he has even snatched Vegapunk. World government might have already guessed something like this.
Vegapunk continued: "Then there is the continuation of research on lineage factors and the current direction is to transform human."
"Through genetic modification, the ideal goal is that people's physique gets strengthened, their skin gets firmer and their resilience gets stronger. But it's still in its infancy!"
This is also an important item.
This research project's aim is to make a modified person similar to Vinsmoke Judge.
But Will does not like the method of having blood modification at the embryonic stage like Judge and have side effects like loosing one's emotions.
Fortunately, with the research team led byVegapunk, these are not big problems.
"Next is the research and development of the mechanical soldiers. This project was originally assigned by the world government, and it is currently being prepared to start!"
"The research on making objects have the ability of Devil Fruit has already begun, but now there is a lack of Devil Fruit!"
He looked at Will, a little helpless: "Funds, materials, personnel, if you don't replenish them as soon as possible, many studies have to be suspended!"
Will couldn't help but sigh. He also can't do anything about it, the financial matter is easy to solve.
But there are some things that really cannot be rushed.
He is not like the World Government, who can provide what the other party wants immediately.
So, it is still necessary to establish channels! If a force wants to grow all roundedly, foundation is necessary.
"The research and development of mechanical soldiers can be temporarily suspended!"
Will said after thinking.
Speaking of mechanical soldiers, Will remembered it.
Isn't there a mechanical army on the infinite land, that is, the moon?
"It seems that I have to find a way to go to the infinite land! "
Will murmured.
He also thought of another idea. May be he can drop by Sky Island and bring some Sky Islanders down to show Vegapunk and see if he can get them to fly.
Subsequently Will looked at the phone bug on the table.
"Gene, what about West Blue?"
"My lord! Everything here is developing steadily according to your instructions, and the remaining small forces have almost been cleaned up!"
"In another month, the underground world of West Blue will be unified!"
Will nodded: "Do it as soon as possible, West Blue is very important to our development in New World!"
After the West Blue integration is completed, it will be able to continuously provide supplies for New World.
For example, the manpower, materials, supplies, etc. that are in short supply now, won't be a problem then.
The whole meeting lasted half a day before it came to an end.
Then, of course, it was party time.
After all, in essence, they are pirates. And pirates can't do without parties.
While everyone was drinking, a newspaper was delivered to Will.
When he saw the above content, he was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed a little weirdly.
[Elbaf issued a call to recall all giants!]
This is a convening order issued by Elbaf through the World Economic News Agency. It is estimated that as long as the giants all over the world see this news, they will basically return to Elbaf.
This has a lot of influence on the situation of the whole sea.
Especially Marine, there are quite a few giant Vice Admirals in it.
But come to think of it, Marine won't let them go easily.
[Elbaf, king of giants, leads the fleet to sea, aiming at Naval Headquarters!]
This is both reasonable and unexpected!
Initially Will thought that it would either be the elders of the giant clan or Loki himself, who would come forward.
Unexpectedly, it was the Giant King himself.
It seems that this time Elbaf is not going to let it go easily.
But in retrospect, the World government and Marine are not only playing with giants and deceiving them, they also secretly studied their genes in an attempt to artificially create giants.
For this reason, they even sneaked into the Giant king's palace and kidnapped the royal heir.
That child is the eldest grandson of the Giant king.
In the future, he will take over Loki's position and become Elbaf's main force. So it's only natural for the giants to take this matter seriously.
However, whether the two sides will fight or not is still up for debate.
After all, as Will once said to Bullet, wars between great powers have never been so simple.
Marine and the World Government will most likely choose to let things go.
Therefore, it still depends on the situation.
[Marine Super Rookie, Future Admiral, Thunder Fruit user Enel!]
This is where Will's face became weird.
Perhaps Marine chose to drop the shocking news of Enel in order to eliminate the bad influence brought by the giants and showcase that not only pirates, Marine also has powerful newcomers.
They not only praised Enel fiercely but also made an exception to appoint him as Marine Rear Admiral!
Just after joining Marine, he became Rear Admiral, which is unprecedented in itself.
May be if he was stronger, would he have become Vice Admiral directly?
But it has to be said that Marine's trick really works.
After all, Thunder Fruit's reputation is too loud. It really had the effect they wanted all over the sea.
At this time, a subordinate hurried in.
"Boss Will, someone wants to see you!".
