Within a few days, the island made a simple plan, and the factory that had been shut down for a long time was operational again. However, the operation policy had been greatly changed. People on the island voluntarily went to the factory to continue working.
Although Kaido is the captain, it is normal for the captain to ignore things. There is usually another person on the ship who is in charge.
So far, the one who is best at managing personnel in the Beast Pirates is Asier. He was once the manager of Alchemy, so it can be said that he has more experience in this area.
He is not a vicious pirate, so he does not blindly oppress the islanders. Instead, he pays a certain salary like a normal manager, but the share is smaller than outside. Those who are counted as island residents taxes required to be paid.
They also formulated some rules on the island to restrict the pirates from harassing the residents without any reason.
There was some opposition at first. This kind of thing is incomprehensible to many pirates, but their opposition is meaningless at all. Kaido doesn't care about this kind of thing, and Asier's behavior is supported by Arceus. This indirectly gained the consent of all cadres.
Quinn felt that this kind of thing didn't matter. His interests were not damaged anyway. Asier was not a stubborn person. He knew that these pirates were not ordinary law enforcers, so they had stricter requirements for the islanders, which could be said to be divided. the status of the island.
But for this request, the residents of the island not only did not respond, but were very happy. Compared with the period of John's rule, Asier's policies were much better.
During John's time, they had to work in the factory without any pay. They worked to ensure that they could survive. John's territory did not need worthless people. Once they could not show their value, John's crew would not distribute any food.
On Winter Island, this kind of thing is almost fatal.
Although the work requirements set by Asier are now mandatory, in addition to the necessary food, part of the salary will be paid. This is a big change for the people on the island.
As for the captured pirates, their status is even lower than that of civilians. In addition to the arms business, there is another business on the island - minerals.
Mining in the climate of Winter Island is undoubtedly a very difficult task, so this kind of work is handed over to those pirates who have more physical strength, and it also gives those of the Beasts Pirates a place to vent their emotions. He is the overseer of the mine.
For these pirates, the policies formulated by Asier do not have so many restrictions. Whether it is beating or scolding or anything else, there are no special restrictions.
The flag of the Beast Pirates is flying over the island, which can be regarded as giving the island some stable space.
Then, with this island as the center, Kaido began to expand to the surrounding islands, and the policy he implemented was simple.
The pirates who surrendered on their own initiative were temporarily collected as his subordinates. Among those who resisted, if there were people Kaido liked, he was willing to give them a chance and throw the rest directly into the mines and farms on nearby islands.
This winter island alone needs to rely on the outside world, but the nearby islands together can form a complete industrial chain, including minerals, manufacturing, grain production, etc.
Shaina and Jhin followed Kaido to conquer territory, while Arceus took Quinn and Arciel to the factory on the island to study things like "slate radar".
"Do you remember how that thing is made?"
Arceus looked at the environment here and understood the reason why this island was established.
There are factories on every island. You don't necessarily need to choose this place to simply make some arms, but this island actually has a very precise machine tool that can process more precise parts.
"This is it. This was also one of the secret bases of MADS. This thing is what we left behind."
"With this, you can build it?"
"I'm not sure about this. Vegapunk just made an experimental machine, and it's still a semi-finished product. But I know the idea, and it can be reproduced after spending some time.
The conductivity of pure gold should meet the demand. "
"I have not forgotten how to make pure gold, but there is a problem. I took a look before and found that many of the materials used in pure gold are contraband today. If purchased in large quantities, it is likely to attract the attention of the government."
"Mhahaha, don't worry. The most indispensable thing in this world is gray industry. Even the world government cannot control the underground market around the world, let alone the new world."
"Really? I won't talk about the common materials. These are some scarce resources. See if you can get them."
Asier handed Quinn a list of materials. There was no ratio or synthesis method. It was useless to just take this away, but he was not afraid of exposing it.
A few drops of sweat rolled down Quinn's head when he saw the list of materials.
"Lord Arceus, maybe...our plan is not going so smoothly?"
"What's wrong."
"These materials... are too difficult to get. The fresh branches and leaves of the Adam tree and the eggshells of the island turtle. Although this kind of thing is rare and expensive, there are ways to find it. It takes some time to find it. The problem is that some materials have already been found. Extinct..."
More than a hundred years have passed since the days when he made pure gold. Many things happened during these more than a hundred years. The conquering of the Nanhai Emperor Fever was considered a matter in the medical field.
But at the same time, many creatures and plants were declared extinct during this period. The production of pure gold is not a simple mineral synthesis, but also contains some animal and plant components.
"In other words, this ring is the last pure gold?"
"Well... I'm afraid that's the case. Maybe there are still some left in the Ancient Island or some people's inventory, but..." Quinn didn't continue talking. There was nothing he could do about this kind of thing. He couldn't change the extinct materials. come out.
There was still a lot of pure gold in the belly of the Neptune, but he didn't care about it at that time. Now that Neptune should have become nourishment for other creatures. In terms of the proportion of pure gold, it has been so long. I don’t know where the time was carried by the currents in the deep sea.
Looking for pure gold is like looking for a needle in a haystack. It is better to look for the slate directly.
"Collect some of those materials, look for them slowly, and try them with what you have on hand first."
This news made him unhappy, but he did not release his emotions on Asier or Quinn. After all, this was an uncontrollable factor.
As for using the power of time and space to go back to the past to find materials, by the time he had the power of time and space, he would have returned to his prime, so there would be no need to do such a thing.
With the assistance of Arceus, Quinn and Asier stayed in this laboratory for several months, but their efforts during this period were not in vain. A slate radar with a sensing radius of about one kilometer was successfully built. come out.
