Chapter 823 - The World's Fastest
After three rounds of drinking, it was very pleasant.
Bucky ordered Valpo to be sent away, who was in a good mood.
Pushing open the door of the private room next door, Bucky walked over with a smile.
"Marshal, do you think I've behaved okay just now?"
"Sit."
Hailan raised her hand and motioned for Bucky to take a seat.
He praised from the bottom of his heart: "Don't say it, Lord Bucky, who has turned into a red nose, is really a genius in business." ”
In fact, even if Hailan has never appeared, Bucky will become a king of the Seven Martial Seas by mistake, and its "Bucky Express Company" will become a well-known large company in the New World, and Bucky can be said to be a mixed bag.
Bucky's talent for business, that's genuine.
Bucky smiled modestly, "It's all taught by you." ”
Hailan interrupted: "Don't tell me these nonsense words, I haven't taught you anything." ”
"You've been with me for so many years, don't talk about these useless things, if you have that energy, let's do more business for the people."
Bucky nodded vigorously, "That's, that's." ”
"Marshal, there's just one thing I don't understand, can we really use so much [Wapo Alloy]? That's going to cost a lot of money. ”
When it comes to money, Bucky is distressed, even though it is all money from the new government, not his private property.
There were only two people here, Hailan and Bucky, and there were no waiters.
Hailan drank the mellow wine in the cup and refilled it for herself, before replying, "Yes." ”
"Where is it used?"
As finance minister in the new government, Bucky has the power to get to the bottom of things.
"You shouldn't need that much for scientific research alone, right?"
"Have you seen the first five-year plan?"
"I've seen it."
"Airship."
"What do you mean ......"
"That's right, the core material for making those airships is [Wabo alloy], and only by using Wabo alloy can the operating costs of the airship, including maintenance costs, be minimized."
"How come I don't know that?"
"Vegapunk has only broken through this study in recent days."
The core of the new government's "First Five-Year Plan" formulated by Hailan is only two words, "unity."
One of the main goals is the gradual abolition of the existing "kingdom system", replacing the king with a governor, there is only one country in the world, the goal is the sea of stars, the great unity of the people of the whole world.
This goal will be gradually realized by the Diet led by Sengoku and others.
Another goal is to connect as many islands as possible and unite the inhabitants of the different islands of the sea.
"If you want to get rich, you must first build roads", this is an eternal truth.
It's a pity that Blue Star is a broken planet dominated by oceans and islands, and it is almost impossible to build a road directly like Earth.
The Tianlong government began to build bridges in the East China Sea, and after 800 years of construction, it cost people and money, exhausted countless people, and did not make any meaningful achievements.
Tom, the famous shipbuilder of the City of Seven Waters, once vowed to invent a sea train that could brave the wind and waves, and although he finally realized his dream, it was only a drop in the bucket, connecting only single-digit islands and having no impact on the whole world.
Tom had proposed to use sea train technology to connect all the islands in the world, but after discussion, the plan was scrapped by the new government.
The new government has the technology and the funds to make it happen, but the problem is not here, but after it is built.
At that time, the dense cobweb-like train tracks on the sea will inevitably greatly hinder maritime traffic, which is equivalent to tearing down the east wall to make up for the west wall.
The most important thing that the sea train fears the most is that there are people with bad intentions who destroy the tracks.
The sea is so vast that the maintenance of the sea rails is much more difficult than the onshore rails, and it cannot be protected at all.
Hindered by these two major problems, the new government had to abandon Tom's plan.
Hailan's vision is much broader than theirs, the land route does not exist, and the water route cannot be walked, so why not take the empty road?
So the "airship" plan was put on the agenda by Hailan.
Although the environment of Blue Star is not as soothing as that of Earth, it also has technology that does not exist on Earth.
Vegapunk and Tom are all black technology masters.
Valpo's company can use his ability to "swallow fruit" to mass-produce an extremely special [Wapo alloy].
This is not one of the accident-prone airships on Earth, but a real fortress in the sky.
This alloy was used in Frankie's "General Frankie".
"Military airships", "passenger airships", "cargo airships", and "small airships" can not only flow between islands more efficiently and conveniently than sailing ships, but even the sky islands above 10,000 meters above the sea and the Wano country above the waterfall are no longer unattainable legendary areas in front of the airships.
"Wonderful! Wonderful! ”
After listening to Hailan's story, Bucky suddenly felt relieved, "If the airship project is implemented smoothly, my investment in many other projects can be greatly saved." That way, we can hold on to our funds for a while longer before the tax policy can function properly. ”
"Minister Bucky, that's a lot of hard work for you."
"It's not hard, it's not hard, hehe...... Dealing with money, can it be called hard? ”
"Come, I'll toast you."
"Good, good...... Dry! ”
……
It's getting late.
After communicating with Bucky, Hailan left the parliament directly, and he didn't need to worry about the rest of the things, those kings and mayors from all over the world, just work hard for the officials of the new government to mess with them.
"Ain said on the phone that she had prepared a surprise for me, I came, why did she disappear herself?"
In the living room dyed with dusk colors, Hai Lan resisted the urge to use the domineering color of seeing and hearing, after all, it was not a surprise if the surprise was detected...... Well, I couldn't hold back...... took the initiative to release the domineering spirit of seeing and hearing, and the next second he hurriedly closed it again.
In his perception, Ain's breath was already slowly approaching outside the door.
The door was pushed open by "squeak", Hailan looked up, and her smile was a little stiff: "Ai Yin, you ......"
Ai Yin, who has long soft wavy blue hair, has bright eyes, purses her lips and smiles, "What's wrong with me?" ”
"You're really dressed today...... Really...... It's kind of cool. ”
Ain couldn't help but laugh as she sat next to Hailan and leaned on Hailan's shoulder.
Neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.
"Ain."
"Huh?"
"Didn't you say you were going to surprise me?"
"That's right."
"Surprise?"
"Right here."
“……”
Aine caressed Hailan's cheeks with both hands, slowly pulling his stiff head in the direction he was facing.
"Hailan, you shouldn't have anything to worry about now, right?"
"Hmmm......"
The two looked at each other, and in Aiin's sparkling eyes, Hailan felt that she could read her heart.
She's ready.
……
……
……
Three minutes later.
Inside the bedroom.
Aine curled up in the corner of the bed, tightly wrapped in a quilt, like a kitten curled up in the bed, only half of his head exposed, a small nose, and large wandering eyes.
Hailan sat on a chair beside her, looking at the ceiling melancholy, as if she had nothing to love.
It's a shame......
used to boast to others every day that he was the fastest man in the world, even the yellow ape couldn't compare to himself, but today it's really a prophecy.
Neither of them knew what to say, and the atmosphere in the room was awkward.
"Right...... Sorry ......"
A few minutes passed like years, and Al Yin spoke cautiously, "I...... I'm the ...... First ...... I don't have experience...... I didn't know it would turn out like this......"
"I don't have any experience......"
Hailan sighed melancholy.
It's a shame today.
But it shouldn't be...... His fists can blow up the mountains, his physical fitness is definitely the world's first-class level, and he is not a weak chicken like Spendham, so there is no problem.
So it must be because I'm too excited and nervous, yes, it must be like this!
Fortunately, there is no third person who knows about this matter today except for himself and Ain, otherwise the majesty of the commander-in-chief of the entire army of the new government will be lost.
"Shhh...... Whew......"
Take a cool breath and calm down first.
A whisper like a mosquito chirping sounded in his ears: "Hailan...... ...... the hell Okay......"
"Click!"
Hailan seemed to hear the sound of her fragile young man's heart shattering on the spot.
Hailan "rubbed" to stand up and met Ai Yin's eyes, and the "fierce" gaze was like a hungry tiger seeing a poor little white rabbit.
Ai Yin's heart was beating faster and she was so nervous that she hurriedly covered her mouth, as if she had just said something wrong.
Man, how can he be questioned?
Hailan closed her eyes and patted her head, selectively forgetting the unpleasantness just now, and she didn't plan to pity Xiangyu anymore.
He swore that he would make sure that Al Yin would not be able to get out of bed tomorrow.
