Chapter 344

Crossing the research institute, Lu En witnessed the technology of the Pirate World!

Many technologies left him astonished,

filling him with profound novelty.

A dazzling array of technological artifacts filled every corner of the vast research institute.

"This is where the Navy researches and produces weapons?"

Lu En marveled aloud.

The technology of the Pirate World…

It's not low at all!

It's just gone off track.

Although there are no weapons with extreme mass destruction power,

there exist high-tech artifacts Lu En cannot comprehend.

Precisely because of this, Lu En felt the technology here had gone off track.

Yet…

In a world where Devil Fruits exist, it's perfectly normal for these researchers not to pursue weapons of immense destructive power.

Or perhaps…

Those above have explicitly forbidden them from researching such weapons.

Once immense power falls into the hands of ordinary people,

then,

how can they continue to rule this sea?

Taken together,

Lu En concluded,

that the reasons for this technology's deviation are numerous, mostly caused by irreversible factors.

Under such an overwhelming, irresistible environmental suppression,

weapons of extreme mass destruction could never emerge.

"I am Zefa."

At this moment, Zefa stood before the door, his voice carrying into the research chamber.

After verifying Zefa's identity,

Drip!

With a clear, pleasant chime,

instantly,

the technologically elegant Qingtongda Sect door slowly opened.

Revealing its full interior…

A kaleidoscope of colored auras flickered out from within.

At the same time,

Lu En gazed into the interior of the Qingtongda Sect door.

He saw numerous researchers in white lab coats, wearing white gloves, gazing at Zefa with reverent, nervous expressions.

Though elite Navy researchers, they naturally still felt restrained and uneasy before the Grand Admiral Zefa.

The gap in status remained immense!

Even researchers could not match a Navy Grand Admiral.

Of course,

except for Dr. Vegapunk.

But Dr. Vegapunk was clearly not under Navy command.

He was a scientist belonging to the World Government!

In the eyes of the World Government's high command,

Dr. Vegapunk was worth more than ten Navy Grand Admirals!

But how many Dr. Vegapunks exist in this world?

Only one!

Only he alone could be hailed as a scientific genius five hundred years ahead of current technology!

"Grand Admiral Zefa, you've arrived."

A research team leader sprinted forward to Zefa, bowing respectfully.

"The Marshal should have already informed you yesterday, right?"

Zefa said.

"Yes, Grand Admiral Zefa."

The team leader nodded, truthfully reporting, "The item you requested has been successfully developed. The technical complexity involved is not high."

"Moreover…"

"After numerous trials, we can now ensure with near certainty,"

"that no accidents will occur during its use."

That item was a technological artifact crafted by the entire institute's researchers, requiring two full days of labor.

Although its technical complexity was low,

mobilizing all their researchers required tremendous effort to finally produce this technological artifact.

"Good, take me there now."

Master Zefa revealed a satisfied smile.

"Yes."

Then,

Under the guidance of this research team captain, Lu En followed in Master Zefa's footsteps the whole way with a puzzled mood, and arrived at another spacious secret room.

This was a secret room of roughly no less than two hundred square metres; the walls on all sides possessed a great sense of technological beauty, with multicoloured lights flashing everywhere, and various scientific products placed all around.

And in the central area of this secret room, Lu En saw an extremely massive technological product.

It was something similar to a 973…

alien pod.

Its body was forged from a special steel material; the central position was partitioned off by a piece of transparent liquid glass, the whole body silver, with cables and pipes connected at the base.

Five metres tall, four metres wide.

Extremely rich in technological beauty!

Lu En was captivated by the appearance of this technological product at just a single glance.

He could not help but let out a sigh of admiration.

The technological content contained within this product before his eyes was absolutely not as simple as what that research team captain had just said.

"To think that in the world of One Piece, one could actually see an object with such a strong sense of technology."

Lu En marvelled inwardly again and again.

The pod was like a place that could send a person into a slumbering seal.

Pipes ran through the base.

There were water pipes filled with liquid of various different colours.

There were also dense rows of electrical cables connecting the pod.

After a while,

Zeta exclaimed with admiration: "You've done well, thank you for your hard work."

"It was nothing."

The research team captain gave a modest smile.

"By the way, has it ever been activated?"

Master Zefa asked.

"It has already been activated a hundred times."

"The records of these hundred activations show…"

"Every single activation operated in perfect condition, and no accidents occurred during any of them."
