After putting aside the issue of recruitment, the rest of the conversation went smoothly overall. One wanted to sell, the other wanted to buy, and they quickly reached an agreement on the price.
"If we provide all the materials, the price can be even lower, right?"
"Of course, it would be beneficial for all of us if you could handle all these troublesome steps. However, there is one thing: some parts need to be processed at the place I specify."
When doing business on this ocean, transportation costs have always been a problem, especially on the Grand Route.
The unpredictable ocean currents and the rampant pirates made the movement of merchant ships very dangerous, and the high prices of goods in cross-island trade were also closely related to this.
In the underground world, Umit still controls the most transportation channels, and Feld usually ships most of its goods through Umit. Although the cost is slightly higher, it is safer.
This is a basic problem. Even though Feld obtained a special ship that can pass through the doldrums through Orlan, he still doesn't know enough about shipping. This is why he has some cooperation with Umit through this thing.
If the navy were to transport the goods themselves, these problems would not be a problem. Even if the goods were robbed along the way, it would have nothing to do with Oran.
Anyway, even if the navy doesn't go through the doldrums, it can still bypass the red earth continent.
The technical cost of the seastone ship is very low and the method is very simple, but it is still a secret before it is announced to the world. Even Vegapunk has not thought about it in this regard for the time being.
Orlan did not remind Vegapunk or the Navy about this matter, letting them figure it out on their own.
"Why the South China Sea? I heard that Feld has prepared a lot of research facilities for you in the Grand Line. Can't production be done there?"
"There's a difference between laboratory products and factory products. I supervised the construction of a factory there, and the workers there are more familiar with how to build this kind of thing. If you want, you can build a new one nearby.
The guidance fee is about this amount.
Oran wrote down a new number on the paper. The word "worker" was just a casual remark. The most important thing was the bear. The existing equipment could hardly compare to the bear's meatball fruit in terms of material synthesis.
As things stand, the upgraded prosthetic material cannot be made without the help of the Meatball Fruit.
The Navy had no objection to this matter. The Kingdom of Solbey was also a member state, and there was also a naval branch nearby, so there was no problem in placing the OEM factory there.
"We have no disagreements regarding the lecture, but Dr. Sidiliel, we need you to conduct another live broadcast at the Marine Headquarters. This time, the content will be for all the disabled soldiers. This should be no problem, right?"
The Navy Headquarters also wants to take this opportunity to make it clear to all sailors that there is no need to be afraid even if they become disabled as a result of combat.
The Navy will not abandon any soldier and will use new technologies to bring changes to them in order to win over the troops and strengthen their cohesion.
"Okay, consider this a bonus for the deal. I have a set of samples with me. If you have a suitable target, I can perform prosthetic surgery at any time.
Fran, bring it over here."
Frankenstein brought in a box that was much taller than her from outside the door. After the box was opened, the mechanical products of various shapes inside also refreshed the navy's cognition.
"The most basic limbs, reinforced with dense bones, spinal reinforcement plug-ins, and brain implant-type rangefinder.
Here are special weapon mods, knives, swords, guns and cannons.
Anyway, as long as he's not dead, I can make him stand up again. It depends on how far you want to go."
There are also more sophisticated equipment, but those are no longer within the scope of transactions, so Olan did not mention them.
"By the way, Mitt, this is for you. You've given me a lot of GGs in the past few years. Although it doesn't have any special weapon modules, it's more durable than your civilian version."
"Thank you, Dr. Orlan. I won't let this arm down. I will definitely maximize its value!"
"You're welcome. The Navy Headquarters has already paid for it."
"."
He suddenly didn't know what to say. They had reached a deal and there was nothing wrong with paying the money. Oran's things were indeed given to the navy, but there was something inexplicably weird about it.
"Thank you to all the soldiers for your outstanding contributions in the war against pirates and maintaining world peace.
The Navy Headquarters has now reached a cooperation intention with Dr. Sidilir Oran. The Navy will not abandon any soldier, and all disabled soldiers will receive the necessary protection.
Iron Arm Mitt's situation is not unrepeatable, and I wish you all a better future."
At the Navy G3 branch, the video Den Den Mushi in the hospital is playing a live broadcast from the Navy headquarters.
On the hospital bed nearby, a wounded soldier with his trouser legs empty was staring at and listening to Zhan Guo's speech in amazement.
For justice, we will never compromise
"Lawrence, Lawrence! Stop being in a daze. The doctor is asking you a question."
"Oh, sorry, I was distracted. What did you say, doctor?"
Lawrence was an ordinary naval soldier who lost both legs in the artillery fire during the battle a few days ago. In fact, he could have saved his legs, but there were too many wounded soldiers at that time and medical resources were limited, so the doctor did not have time to perform a detailed operation on him.
In order to save as many lives as possible as quickly as possible, the doctor chose to perform an amputation on him.
"Nothing, just looking at your mental state. Have you heard the news from headquarters? Don't worry, you'll be able to stand up again in the future. It's just a matter of waiting."
"Honestly, was I really only in a coma for a week? Why does it feel like several years have passed? Why haven't I heard of this technology before?"
"To be precise, you were only in a coma for six days. Don't worry, it's all true. This kind of technology has always existed, but this doctor has made it available to the public."
The military doctor couldn't say to Lawrence, "Don't underestimate our technology. You're just an ordinary sergeant and not worth our investment of so much energy. Instead of customizing a prosthesis for you, it's better to let you retire."
At the same time, in the Admiral's office at the Marine Headquarters, the same image appeared on the projection screen, but the topic here was completely different.
"Zefa, you are the youngest general in these years. You have only been in this position for four years. You..."
"Marshal Kong, there's no need to say anything. I've already made my decision. I'm no longer capable of continuing in this position. I just can't do it."
"Zefa."
"I have no intention of quitting the Navy. Look at these young men, Marshal Kong.
They are full of passion and want to be heroes, but I can no longer be that so-called hero. In fact, I realized a long time ago that the navy is not just a hero, but at that time, I was a little tired, so I didn't want to think too much.
Now I just want to better protect my family.
But these young people are the future of the Navy. Let me use my remaining energy to train them to become new heroes."
In the year 1490 of the Haiyuan calendar, Admiral Zephyr resigned from his position as admiral and became the chief instructor of the Naval Headquarters.
