Chapter 336

"Hello, I am Bai Ye."

Su Xiao did not say anything more. Even if the other party had extremely high intelligence, as long as he acted cautiously, the other party would not be able to detect anything.

"Prepare to depart."

Vice Admiral Tsuru gave the order, and the warship slowly started, heading to the island half an hour away from Enies Lobby.

Su Xiao was placed in a cabin, and he began to think about how to use the technology in his hands to obtain greater benefits.

"Woof."

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang suddenly barked, and Su Xiao looked at Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang in confusion.

At this moment, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang was somewhat wrong, lying on the floor with its whole body limp, and those two furry ears were no longer upright.

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's face was full of despair, its stomach twitching, seemingly wanting to vomit.

"This is... seasick?"

Although Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang being seasick surprised Su Xiao, it was indeed the case, and he had no way to help. Fortunately, the journey was not far.

The cabin door was pushed open, and Vice Admiral Tsuru and Hina walked in.

"Bai Ye, what materials do you need to manufacture alchemy bombs? Before arriving at the destination, we will send people to collect the materials you need."

Vice Admiral Tsuru handed over paper and pen, signaling Su Xiao to write down the required materials.

Su Xiao picked up the pen and wrote on the paper, with the following content:

"Black powder, lower-level energy circuit, Materie metal, aqua regia, explosion frog skin."

After writing down the required materials, Su Xiao handed the paper to Vice Admiral Tsuru.

The more Vice Admiral Tsuru looked, the deeper her frown became, and the wrinkles on her face became more obvious.

"I know what black powder is, but what is this 'lower-level energy circuit'? And this Materie metal? Aqua regia? Explosion frog skin?!"

Hina leaned over, looked at the formula, and was completely confused. She recognized all the words on it, but when put together, it left her completely baffled.

"'Lower-level energy circuit' can be understood as a type of conductor with R7P3T conductive properties, which is very sensitive to energy. Only with it can remote control and detonation be achieved..."

Su Xiao began to explain what a lower-level energy circuit was. Vice Admiral Tsuru was only confused when looking at the formula, but after Su Xiao's explanation, she was completely baffled.

"Aqua regia, also known as 'royal acid' or 'nitro-hydrochloric acid,' is a highly corrosive liquid that emits yellow mist. It is a mixture of concentrated hydrochloric acid (HCl) and concentrated nitric acid (HNO3) in a volume ratio of 3:1. It is one of the few liquids capable of dissolving gold (Au), and its name comes from its strong corrosiveness..."

Vice Admiral Tsuru started listening to gibberish, and Hina on the side yawned.

"I have explained it very thoroughly, so these materials should be no problem, right? Even if you can't find the same materials, you can look for substitutes with the same properties."

Su Xiao looked at Vice Admiral Tsuru with a smile in his eyes. This was his field of expertise, and even if the other party had high intelligence, it was useless.

Vice Admiral Tsuru was somewhat embarrassed and coughed dryly, saying: "I roughly understand."

"Oh? Is that so? Then when looking for substitutes for explosion frog skin, it must have the following properties: strong water solubility, excellent conductivity, biological characteristics, and must not contain toxins..."

Su Xiao continued to explain, and Vice Admiral Tsuru's head was spinning.

Five minutes later, Vice Admiral Tsuru sat opposite Su Xiao with her eyelids lowered; her head was about to explode.

However, Vice Admiral Tsuru confirmed one thing: Su Xiao was indeed a scientific research talent. Although she could not understand what the other party was saying, she could feel that the other party was not making things up.

"Hina, have you recorded it?"

Vice Admiral Tsuru looked at Hina, who was recording on the side, and Hina smiled brightly.

"There... there are a few formulas I don't know how to write."

Vice Admiral Tsuru sighed. She originally wanted to give Su Xiao a warning, but now it seemed that the other party had given them a warning instead.

"Which formulas don't you know how to write?" Su Xiao took the paper and pen from Hina's hand and helped her write those formulas.

"Let's continue."

"Con... continue?"

Hina's mouth opened slightly, and her head was also about to explode.

"Yes, this is one-twentieth of the entire formula. Although it will consume some time, this is a necessary process."

Vice Admiral Tsuru's cheek twitched, and she stood up and walked out.

"Hina, I'll leave this to you. I'm going to contact the personnel at the destination and let them prepare."

Hina's red lips parted, and she did not want to stay here either.

"Miss Hina, let's continue."

Su Xiao continued to dictate the formula, and Hina was responsible for recording.

Ten minutes later, Hina's gaze was dull, and her mind was full of various chemical and mathematical formulas.

"That..."

Hina spoke weakly.

"Hmm? What, are you tired? We can rest for a while and then continue. There is still about four-fifths left."

Hina's eyes went dark. There was still four-fifths left. She had the thought of turning around and running away. Letting her fight was fine, but letting her record these formulas that were like gibberish was simply torturing her.

"Although it is a bit rude to do so, Mr. Bai Ye should write it down himself. I am a Marine and know nothing about scientific research. Look, I have written several formulas wrong."

Hina looked at Su Xiao with expectation.

"This..."

Su Xiao looked at Hina with a half-smile.

"Please~."

"Alright."

Su Xiao took the paper and pen, and Hina felt as if she had been granted amnesty, walking out of the cabin in a few steps.

Arriving at the deck, Hina rubbed her aching head. After looking up, she found Vice Admiral Tsuru leaning on the ship's rail, wondering what she was thinking.

"Why did you come out?"

Vice Admiral Tsuru's gaze was somewhat dissatisfied. Hina felt bitter in her heart, thinking, didn't you also run out because you couldn't stand it?

"He's not easy to deal with."

Vice Admiral Tsuru sighed with emotion.

"What?"

Hina looked at Vice Admiral Tsuru in confusion.

"Nothing, but Hina, what kind of feeling does this Bai Ye give you?"

Vice Admiral Tsuru's question made Hina fall into deep thought.

"What feeling~, full of the smell of blood. Even though he has already bathed and changed clothes, he is still full of the smell of blood. His gaze often looks at my throat and chest."

Hina lit a cigarette.

Vice Admiral Tsuru chuckled: "It's not strange for a man to stare at your chest."

Vice Admiral Tsuru looked at the large 36D on Hina's chest, and Hina shook her head.

"No, he is not looking at this. He is judging the position of my heart. Rather than saying he is a scientific researcher, I believe more that he is a ferocious and cunning pirate."

Hina's voice was firm.

"Good perception."

Vice Admiral Tsuru patted Hina on the shoulder.

"That guy's temperament is similar to Shiryu of the Rain, but the two are completely different. Shiryu of the Rain kills for the sake of killing, while this person has a clear purpose. Although his strength is far from Shiryu of the Rain, he will definitely be much more difficult to deal with than Shiryu of the Rain in the future, so he must be controlled well. This is a double-edged sword.

His scientific research ability is unquestionable, exceeding the world level in terms of bomb science, but... I cannot feel kindness or loyalty from him."

The Marines sent Vice Admiral Tsuru to test Su Xiao.

"Then Ms. Tsuru, what should we do?"

Hina was once a subordinate of Vice Admiral Tsuru, so she addressed her more intimately.

"Wait and see. When we arrive at that island, someone will keep an eye on him. That person is stationed on that island."
