"Troublesome guy, it seems like it was a mistake for me to make a deal with him."
At dawn, Orlan woke up on time and rubbed his head.
It's not tiredness. Because of Orlan's special dream ability, his body can always get the best rest, and the dream clone will not bring back the feeling of tiredness. It's just that the experiences in the dream will not disappear, so Orlan needs a certain amount of time to digest these things.
Yesterday, he fought dirty boxing all night long.
Today, Sett has thrown away his brass knuckles, and every day he uses his "black fists" to beat others up in the black boxing ring.
According to the difference in the speed of time flow and Sett's progress, Orlan felt that the next time he saw Sett, this kid might have cultivated a full body of armed color.
Oran's rest time is relatively fixed. It was still dark at this time, so he casually pulled the cord of the bedside lamp.
snap
The rope made an empty sound, but the lamp did not light up.
"The quality of the Navy Headquarters' stuff is really poor."
At this time, Oran didn't realize that there was anything wrong. He simply thought that there was something wrong with the desk lamp until he found that all the electrical appliances in the house seemed to have problems.
"Fran, what did you do last night?"
In addition to the patrol team on the street outside, you can also see marines with toolboxes repairing equipment. Considering Frankenstein's abilities and personality, Oran has guessed something.
"Rest, eat, and do nothing else."
Frankenstein answered truthfully. For Frankenstein, eating is equivalent to recharging. Given her physical condition, eating ordinary food not only fails to replenish energy, but instead consumes extra energy to process it.
Given Frankenstein's somewhat stingy personality, it is impossible for him to take the initiative to eat meaningless food.
Energy is the special food that Frankenstein needs. This short circuit situation is very similar to the one that occurred on the MADS research ship.
To her, free electricity is an opportunity to get something for free.
"How long have you been charging it?"
"The power went out overnight before it was fully charged."
Because the Navy Headquarters is a major military base, the circuit design is divided into zones. Damage to one area will not affect the entire area. The Navy should be grateful for this design, otherwise they will know today what the consequences of an island-wide power outage will be.
The core of Frankenstein is not an ordinary battery, but a Hextech crystal plus a storage fruit. When these two things are combined, it can be called a bottomless pit, and as time goes by, the difficulty of charging is increasing.
One day, it might be as easy to top up Frankenstein's battery as it is to top up his phone bill.
It was already a good thing that the Navy Headquarters had electricity for use. In this ocean, high-power electrical appliances were a rarity, but Oran and the others left a mystery.
For a long time, the people at the Navy Headquarters didn't understand what kind of power-consuming thing Orlan was carrying.
"Speaking of Fran's habit, I have to consider the power output of the power station in the future."
Orlan added another note to his plan. Although he did not have his own territory yet, he was only doing the corresponding research in the place prepared by Feld.
But this is only temporary. According to Oran's plan, after this matter is over, he will prepare to move to a suitable island to build his own base.
"Is there oil in Alabasta?"
When Orlan was looking for a suitable area on the sea chart, he happened to see the desert country of Alabasta. Compared with most countries, the territory here is very vast, and there may be a lot of undeveloped resources hidden in it.
There is no mold in this place, and most countries have no intention of developing oil resources. If there were oil, this desert would be a natural treasure trove.
Marinford's logistics work was still able to keep up, and the circuit in this area was repaired in a short time, but by this time it was already dawn, and several warships began to approach Marinford.
The number of people a warship can carry varies depending on its model. Large warships can carry as few as 800 and as many as over a thousand people. Minor adjustments will be made based on actual conditions and mission objectives.
The different markings on the sails meant that the warships came from different branches, and these were the ones who were supposed to have arrived a few days ago.
The square suddenly became crowded with military doctors preparing to study, wounded soldiers with special conditions, soldiers about to be awarded medals and promoted, and new recruits who had just joined the army.
The most eye-catching among these people are Mitt, who is equipped with a metal arm, and some rebellious recruits.
Mitt was originally a typical character created by the World Government some time ago, so it is understandable that he is more well-known, but people's attention is more on Mitt's arms.
"He's the Mitt with the iron arm, right? I heard that hand is entirely mechanical and looks exactly like a real one."
"Why would it be bandaged if it's a prosthetic hand? It doesn't make any sense."
"Who cares? It's probably just a habit. Can newspapers really lie? I heard he killed a pirate with a 50 million bounty with that hand."
"Fifty million? Is that so impressive? I don't think it was this number."
"You must have remembered it wrongly."
A group of people kept whispering, and the tiny sounds also reached Mitt's ears. This kind of words could not cause any emotional fluctuations in Mitt at all. He had long been accustomed to it.
When he was in the branch before, the colleagues he was familiar with asked him questions every day, and they were almost willing to take apart the prosthesis to check its structure.
"Looks pretty impressive, don't you think, Sakaski?"
Mitt's arm also attracted the interest of many recruits. Generally, recruits do not need to come to the headquarters of the Navy. They usually stay in the branch where they sign up.
Even after graduating from the Naval Academy, not all soldiers waiting to be assigned to their units will come here.
Those who are specially sent here by warships are the best recruits from all over the place.
The person who was speaking at this time was wearing a white vest and a yellow short-sleeved shirt. His orange sunglasses made it difficult to see his eyes. Apart from the word "Navy" on his melon-shaped hat, it was impossible to tell that he was a new recruit. It would be better to say that he looked more like a street urchin.
His name is Borsalino, he is 26 years old, a monster newly recruited by the navy. The local branch is no longer able to teach him, so he was sent to the headquarters in the hope that he can receive a better education.
On the recruit ship, he met a man he could talk to - Sakaski.
He wore a standard navy peaked cap and the same red short-sleeved shirt as Borsalino. A flower-like tattoo could be seen on his left chest, and he carried a sword on his back.
He is only 23 years old this year, but like Borsalino, he is called a monster rookie.
"He lost his original arm but is still fighting on the front lines. He is a soldier worthy of respect."
"You're still so serious. I'm not talking about him, I'm talking about his arm. It's said to be the invention of the last Ibel Prize in Medicine winner. They say it was because of that arm that he was able to be promoted to colonel."
"Why haven't I heard about this?"
"Maybe you're too serious. Not many people dare to talk to you."
"Is that so? This is a meaningful invention.
The more inventors like this, the better, so that justice can be enforced more thoroughly."
