Chapter 200 Transforming the Desolo!
"Thanks then." Lu Chen smiled.
If Karp and the others weren't here, he and Sakaski would have talked more, but they just didn't know when.
"snort!"
Sakaski snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves, and left. He no longer wanted to stay here.
Looking at Sakaski's back, Lu Chen shook his head helplessly, thinking in his heart: "Fortunately, I didn't choose the position of Navy Marshal, otherwise it would be really distressing."
In the past, I felt that the position of Navy Marshal was okay and not that busy. Now when I look at Sakaski, I feel that he is too busy to be human and can't do anything.
It’s something to be thankful for.
"Lu Chen, I hope you will renovate this ship. Once it is renovated, please remember to call me." He left a few words in the lottery and left in a hurry. She had more important things to do.
"Okay, Granny He, just watch it!" Lu Chen replied loudly.
Immediately afterwards, Garp, Zefa and Warring States gave Lu Chen a few instructions and then left one after another and returned to their posts.
"Lu Chen, what should we do next?" Ain asked doubtfully.
Based on what she just said, she realized that Lu Chen had been lying to her all the time. He was afraid that she would be too worried, so she said that Marshal Sakaski would not blame them, but he actually did.
It was just hidden by Lu Chen, and he silently remembered this good thing in his heart, and thanked him properly at night.
"First drive the boat to a nearby island and dock it on the shore. After the celebration tonight, I will go and renovate the boat." Lu Chen said.
Make a rough plan for the next few months. Because he wanted to build Pluto, he had to adapt to the shipbuilding technology in advance and improve some shipbuilding skills first.
Although I have learned and simplified it before, I have never improved my proficiency. Now I must find a place to improve my proficiency.
"Okay, I'll first contact the boatmen and scientists who are available at the naval base, and let them prepare dinner tonight." Ain said.
"Okay." Lu Chen nodded and watched Ain leave.
The two have been working together for many years and have become close to each other. Lu Chen doesn't have to worry about complicated things at all. Ain will basically do it.
afternoon.
Ain found many boatmen who were free and willing to follow Lu Chen to the surrounding uninhabited islands to renovate the boats, and arranged for people to prepare meals for the evening.
As long as you pay, you can still get extra meals in the navy's canteen. Given money, the navy chef will naturally buy a lot of food nearby to make a more sumptuous dinner.
Especially the boatmen, they were very enthusiastic when they heard that the Desolo was going to be renovated. Especially when they heard that they were going to follow Lieutenant General Lu Chen, they became even crazier and wanted to follow.
It was a pity that the Navy Headquarters had to keep a large number of boatmen at the base, and only some of them could follow Lu Chen away.
…
Dinner time, Navy Headquarters mess hall.
All the navies who were able to come gathered together. In addition to the ordinary navy, there were more naval officers, such as lieutenant generals, rear admirals, and commodores...
Many of them were people Lu Chen had seen before or knew.
Everyone gathered together and sat in the canteen, and the table in the canteen was filled with all kinds of delicacies, but there was no wine.
They have a very long time to eat, so there is no wine to drink, and they will have to go back to duty soon.
Suddenly, Lu Chen stood up, looked at the many marines around him, and said loudly: "My colleagues, first of all, I, Lu Chen, am here to thank you for being able to come and for being willing to come. This is all recognition of me, Lu Chen."
"Tonight, we will eat so much that we will never get drunk again if we have the chance!"
"Okay, let's drink water instead of wine and give Lieutenant General Lu Chen a drink!"
"A toast to Lieutenant General Lu Chen!"
"..."
As he said this, everyone raised their water glasses to offer Lu Chen a drink.
Of course Lu Chen did not break the promise. He raised the water glass in his hand and said with a smile: "Come on! Cheers!"
"cheers!"
"eat!"
Everyone drank the water in one gulp and began to eat and drink.
Lu Chen and Ai En sat together, eating and drinking happily, everyone was talking and laughing.
…
Meanwhile, the Marshal's Office.
"Hmph! Bastard!"
Even though the doors and windows were closed, Sakaski could still hear the sounds of talking and laughing coming from the canteen not far away. He was still working in the office, but those people were still eating there happily.
The most important thing is that it's dinner time now, and he can't do anything to them at all.
Can't the navy still be fed?
Therefore, when he thought of this, Sakaski became extremely angry and gritted his teeth in anger.
After about an hour, the sound gradually died down.
Most of the navy returned to their posts, and only those shipwrights who would follow Lu Chen to renovate the Desolo remained.
They are now under Lu Chen's management for the time being, so naturally they don't have to do anything else.
At this time, the boatmen stood straight in front of Lu Chen and shouted respectfully: "Lieutenant General Lu Chen!"
These boatmen are quite old and have been at the naval base for many years. When it comes to boatmen, the older and more experienced they are, the better.
They had long admired Lu Chen, a supernova in the navy. They heard that Lu Chen needed help from a boatman, so they all signed up enthusiastically.
"Well, you are all pretty good. I may have to work hard for you in the future." Lu Chen glanced at their attributes and nodded with satisfaction.
Although the skills of the boatmen present were not at the SSS level, most of them were A-level and above. There was also an old white-haired boatman with an SS+ level who would honorably retire from the Navy in a few months.

"Lieutenant General Lu Chen was joking, these are what we should do."
"Even so, I am about to retire. I want to renovate a better and bigger ship before retiring. This also gives me the opportunity."
"It seems that each of us has a chance to make history!"
"..."
Everyone was talking a lot, their faces full of excitement. Because they all know that the ship that is about to be renovated is the legendary ship built entirely of gold, the Desolo.
"Okay, everyone, go back and have a good rest. We will gather at the port early tomorrow morning. I will take you to a nearby island to start rebuilding the Desolo." Lu Chen said with a smile.
"Okay, Lieutenant General Lu Chen."
After saying that, everyone went back to prepare for tomorrow's trip.
After everyone left, Lu Chen looked at Ain behind him and asked, "How are you preparing for tomorrow?"
"Everything is ready, don't worry." Ain smiled.
"Thank you. I may have to work hard on you these two days."
"It's okay. This is what I am willing to do. Aren't you also very nice to me?"
"Haha, then I will be nicer to you!"
"OK!"
"..."
…
Early the next morning.
After Lu Chen and Ain got up, they took all the boatmen at the ferry to the island where the Desolo was parked.
As soon as they landed on the island, they began to carefully observe the magnificent ship in front of them, the Desolo, which was covered in gold and was pulled by two huge turtles.
"It's such a big ship. I just took a look at it from a distance yesterday. Now that I look at it, I realize it's really big."
"Yeah, I didn't expect this ship to be so big."
"It's really too big. If we want to renovate it, I don't know how long it will take."
"..."
Lu Chen smiled and shouted to them: "Everyone, take a look. You may need to worry about the renovation. This is the drawing I came out last night. Take a look."
"OK."
"Let me take a look!"
"..."
The boatmen came forward one after another, wanting to see the drawings of Lu Chen's transformation plan.
As a boatman with A-level shipbuilding skills, Lu Chen's drawing ability is still good. Plus, he has Pluto's drawings, so he can learn from them.
According to Pluto's modification, the capabilities of its hull in all aspects will naturally not be bad.
"Lieutenant General Lu Chen, your drawing is good, but some parts still need to be changed."
"Yes, the overall plan is good, but the details still need to be refined."
"agree!"
"..."
After reading it, everyone expressed their opinions.
Lu Chen naturally accepted their opinions readily, "In that case, let's get started!"
"good."
With an order, everyone began to make intensive modifications. Some revised the drawings, while others prepared equipment, dismantled the Desolo, and collected materials...
Now the problem that the entire Desolo needs to solve is the overall load-bearing capacity. The load-bearing capacity is too large. Only by solving the load-bearing problem can the Desolo be faster, or without the need to drag it with two giant turtles.
After all, if someone killed those two turtles, wouldn't the ship be unable to sail?
It's still somewhat tasteless.
The first step is to reduce the weight of the Desolo.
The second step is to completely renovate and install new power on the Desolo. In addition to the sailboat, there is also electrical equipment. You must know that Lu Chen has the Thunder Fruit, and he can still use it as long as others don't know about it.
The third step is coating and decoration.
The current De Soro is somewhat too luxurious and does not meet the standards of the Navy, so the outer shell of the De Soro needs to be properly transformed.
In order to get more equipment, Lu Chen called some Vegapunk and bought a lot of equipment from him, probably in exchange for gold.
Anyway, they are all dismantled from the Desolo, and Vegapunk also needs a lot of funds to conduct experiments. If someone gives him money, he must want it.
As a result, the transformation of the Desolo was carried out in an orderly manner.
Lu Chen was improving his shipbuilding level while participating in the transformation:
Ding! Congratulations to the host for gaining +1 proficiency in the 'Shipbuilding' skill!
Ding! Congratulations to the host for gaining +1 proficiency in the 'Shipbuilding' skill!
Ding! Congratulations to the host for gaining +1 proficiency in the 'Shipbuilding' skill!
Ding! …
You only need to knock on the wooden board to improve your proficiency, so Lu Chen did most of the work of knocking on the wooden board, which did not arouse the suspicion of others.
…
One month later.
The dismantling of the Des Soro has just concluded. Fortunately, during this period, other preparations have been completed, and all that is left is to start the complete transformation.
So Lu Chen took the boatmen on the island to start the renovation work.
The whole island began to ding-ding-dong-dong again, and the fun seemed to never stop. Lu Chen's 'shipbuilding' skills were also steadily improving, and he was upgraded to S level in one month.
It is best to upgrade the 'shipbuilding' technology to the SSS level in order to build Pluto, and he cannot do it alone. He has to find an opportunity to let more people participate, and it cannot be discovered by others. A difficult question.
…
Another two months have passed.
The transformation of the Desolo continues, but most of the work has been completed and she is now a powered sailing vessel.
Someday.
Ain delivered meals to Lu Chen as usual. Looking at the completely new Desolo, he was stunned and said in surprise: "Lu Chen, can this still be regarded as the Desolo?"
"Of course not. From now on, the name of this ship will be Samsara, and it will be a ship exclusively for us." Lu Chen nodded with satisfaction.
He was very satisfied with the transformation of the ship. After all, it was a warship that he had personally transformed, and it was also the first warship that he had built by himself.
"our?"
Ain looked happy.
"Yes." Lu Chen nodded affirmatively.
Hearing this, Ain's cheeks turned red. He didn't expect Lu Chen to include him, "Thank you!"
"Thank you, you should have had a share."
"OK."
"How long will it take for the ship to be renovated?"
"At most three months."
"Okay."
Lu Chen is waiting for the completion of the Samsara, and then completes the remaining tasks, which cannot be missed.
Only in this way can he have the ability to surpass the strongest person in the world, namely Im.
In his understanding, Im is a mysterious woman, and even her abilities are mysterious, so he is not sure about his strength, so he must be careful.
It's always good to be careful, and you'll never go wrong if you're careful.
…
Two months later.
The new Samsara has begun to take shape, and its overall style is familiar to Lu Chen.
Without going into details, as shown below:
"Hahaha, it's finally built!" Lu Chenlang said with a smile.
"Yeah, I didn't expect that Lieutenant General Lu Chen's shipbuilding skills are so great."
"It's really majestic. I've never seen such a huge ship. Just pull it out and it can scare tens of thousands of people!"
"Coupled with Lieutenant General Lu Chen's reputation, I don't think any pirate would dare to come close!"
"..."
The eyes of the surrounding boatmen were full of excitement. They all participated in the construction of such a magnificent ship, which was considered a great blessing.
"Lu Chen, I've made the sail you want!"
Suddenly, Ain drove a warship from the front.
Not long ago, Lu Chen asked Ain to customize the sails and various kinds of paint to completely change the appearance of the entire Samsara.
Painted into a blood-red color like the reincarnation of the Demon Sword, he would be worthy of his name as Lu Chen, the pirate killer.
"Okay! Let's install him now!" Lu Chen looked overjoyed.
This sail came at the right time.
"good."
After everyone's efforts, the sails were successfully installed, and the next step was to paint the entire hull.
