Chapter 408 The growing city in the sky, devil fruits and technology changing life
Development is always accompanied by the loss of something.
The Sky City, which was originally just a single city, has now become a towering urban cluster.
Tens of thousands of white buildings stand in the sea of clouds.
Countless chimneys and huge factories operate day and night in the city in this vast sea of clouds.
Rapid development will definitely bring some costs.
The most conspicuous of them is the sea of clouds in the sky, which is no longer as white as in the past memories.
But these are all bearable costs.
After all, in this era where even human lives cannot be saved, the environment and other things are secondary.
Under rapid development, the current Sky City is no longer just an ordinary sky city.
Under the control and transformation of Roy's will, the current Sky City can be said to be a huge war cluster fortress.
Countless factory assembly lines are constantly transporting various weapons and war supplies.
At the bottom of the huge city, the island cloud that supports the entire city, now a large part of its interior is inlaid with a large number of weapons with huge lethality.
Now the entire Sky City can be roughly divided into five parts.
It is like the five barrels in mahjong.
In the center is the brain that controls the entire Sky City, the city core called the Central Main City.
And there is an Acropolis in each of the four directions of the southeast, northwest, and northeast.
The Eastern Acropolis is mainly a city that produces weapons and trains troops. It is also responsible for receiving various materials shipped from the East China Sea to the Sky City.
The Western Acropolis is mainly a place where daily necessities are produced and where civilians live.
The Southern Acropolis is more comprehensive. It not only produces weapons, daily necessities, and trains troops, but also the basic maintenance departments and personnel of the entire Sky City live here.
The Northern Acropolis, if there are civilians living in other Acropolises, then this Acropolis is full of professional soldiers, because there are many laboratories, factories, and secret departments in this Acropolis.
Top-secret places like artificial devil fruit factories, clone factories, and poison gas production workshops are all here.
Because of its properties, it is destined that there will be no civilians here, so this place can be said to be a forbidden area for the entire Sky City.
The entire sky city is now divided into different regional units according to different attributes.
On weekdays, they gather together to form a huge urban cluster, and if there is a war, the four major cities and the central main city can be separated independently.
Once they are separated, they will become five towering huge sky war machines.
Of course, such a huge city, in order to maintain its daily operation and supply huge output during war, huge driving energy is an indispensable and important condition.
For this point, it was very difficult for a group of designers at the beginning of the design.
But where is this?
This is a pirate world with many fantasy colors.
And what is the greatest productivity in the pirate world? It is undoubtedly those unreasonable devil fruits in the sea.
Just like the main driving energy in the Eastern Acropolis today, it is not high-tech, but the Heat Fruit ability user, Don Achino, who is called the Scorching Man.
This man can change his body temperature from one degree to ten thousand degrees at will, and can even melt an entire glacier.
He was captured by Enelu, who was under Roy's control, and then made into the energy core of the Eastern Acropolis by many scientists in the Sky City.
At the same time, his two sons who have magnetic power were also brought to the Sky City together.
Of course, their abilities are not as good as their father Achino, so the two of them are currently using their magnetic power to generate electricity in a factory in the Sky City.
Like the Achino family, the devil fruit ability users who can convert fruit abilities into power are called the cleanest energy by Roy.
There is no way. Compared with other traditional energy sources that require a lot of resources, devil fruit ability users like Achino can run them for a day, which is just the cost of three meals.
The extremely low cost and price make them favored by Roy.
So when Roy traded with the Blackbeard Pirates, he paid a lot of money and other costs to let the Blackbeard Pirates help him capture this ability user.
Of course, as Roy's territory has expanded to the entire East China Sea and even other oceans, Roy's demand for energy is now growing.
Although Vegapunk has the universal energy "Holy Flame", it needs to be kept to activate the ancient weapon "Pluto".
What's more, the current "Holy Flame" is still being synthesized and there is no finished product yet.
So when the Holy Flame cannot be used.
As the demand for energy in Roy's territory increases, Vegapunk's technical ability to clone devil fruits has shown a very powerful effect at this time.
However, because most of the fruits that can convert devil fruit abilities into power are parahuman devil fruits, Roy took the initiative to skip the idea of cloning devil fruits.
There is no other way, because there is still a certain threshold for cloning parahuman devil fruits and natural devil fruits. So after cloning failed, Roy set his sights on the green blood technology invented by Vegapunk.
This is one of Vegapunk's great inventions, which allows non-powered people to obtain the corresponding parahuman devil fruit abilities.
Therefore, this technology is used by Roy as a key point. When the bloodline factors of parahuman devil fruit users headed by Achino are extracted, they are cloned and converted into green blood.
These green bloods will eventually be used on cloned beasts cultivated by Vinsmoke Judge and Caesar Kulang.
In the end, these beasts with devil fruit abilities will be used as living energy to drive a large number of factories under Roy, and even as energy in the Sky City.
It is precisely because of the existence of green blood technology and these people or animals who use green blood technology that Roy can quickly develop his forces in a short period of time with sufficient energy.
Otherwise, it will be based on the means and policies implemented by Roy in the East China Sea.
If there is not enough energy to maintain the operation of those super factories to provide Donghai with a large amount of necessities of life, then Donghai would have been full of corpses, not to mention Roy's current super reputation.
Technology changes life, and the power of devil fruit makes costs cheap.
When technology and devil fruit power are combined, what makes Vegapunk feel gratified is that what Roy brings to the world is not the unchanging force.
Instead, he truly implements some of Vegapunk's ideas and allows technology and devil fruit to improve people's lives.
And it is precisely because Vegapunk saw Roy's real actions that Vegapunk began to feel fortunate for his original choice, and at the same time he was more certain that Roy was the savior, so during this period of time Vegapunk began to work harder for Roy.
Except for a few foreign invaders, everything in Donghai is currently developing as planned in Roy's plan.
The entire territory is thriving.
At the same time, behind this prosperity, a large amount of force is taking shape rapidly.
