Pirates of the First Empire

"Nothing to do today, fishing."

Dan wrote a line in the diary in his hand, then put the diary aside, picked up the fishing rod, and when he was about to throw the rod, he saw Jinping who happened to be looking at him not far away. For a moment, his eyes met .

"Dan-san, it's me, Jinbe from the Sun Pirates!"

After a moment of silence, Jinbe waved at Dan, fearing that the other party would misunderstand, Jinbe even reported his family name directly, and Dan on the opposite side quickly put away the fishing rod in his hand after hearing it, and then stood up and said.

"It's Shiping!"

"Hey, is this a visitor?"

Dan's tone was calm, but he also had doubts. Jinping and him were considered acquaintances, so he naturally understood his character, so why would he rashly bring outsiders to see him?

While talking, Jinping also brought Doyle and his party to Dan's hut. Dan opened the door of his house with a keg and fishing rod, and signaled Shiping to come in if there was anything to do.

……

Dan.

Shipwright and "Sea Forest" researcher, younger brother of "World's No. [-] Shipwright" Tom, Oriental wolf-mermaid.Wearing a dark hat, thick-rimmed glasses and earrings, thick hair, a pointed face with a slightly undercut nose, a beard on the chin, and patterns of sorrel on both arms and coat.

For this character, Doyle actually doesn't know much, but for the follow-up important person—Tom, Doyle still takes him as one of the target people who came to Fishman Island this time.

"Let me introduce myself, I'm from South China Sea, Kingdom of Andre, Andre Doyle."

Dan's hut has limited space, and the three of them just guarded the outside. Elsa, Etaf, Doyle, and Jinbe entered the room. Self-reported home.

"This is the crown prince of the only human-friendly country in our Dragon Palace Kingdom, Prince Doyle."

Jinbe also knew that Doyle would not take the initiative to say this, so he took the initiative to help and added. Sure enough, after he finished speaking, Dan's face was not as relaxed as it was at the beginning.

However, Doyle's military uniform and entourage also have their own characteristics, not counting the three guards outside, Etaf is wearing a light suit, and Elsa is still wearing a maid's outfit.

At most, it looks like a rich man traveling and talking about the military, but it's really not like the nobles Dan imagined.

However, Dan is not an ordinary shipwright, but also a erudite scholar. Although he specializes in biology, especially undersea and marine biology, he also understands some "basic" politics and history.

At the same time, as a scholar, he will read every issue of the newspaper on time, so he is not very unfamiliar with the name of Andre Kingdom.

"Hello, Prince Doyle."

"I don't know what you are looking for, is it...?

Obviously, the rightful owner who came to find him was this, not Shi Ping, so respect is all respect, and he would not waste time on a nobleman, and he would speak directly when he had something to say.

He didn't think he would have anything in common with a nobleman.

"Mr. Dan, Prince Doyle came here because of Master Tom..."

Jinbe quickly said that although this Mr. Dan is knowledgeable, his prejudice against nobles cannot be changed in a short while, and Jinbe is also afraid that this man will provoke Doyle.

However, before Jinbe finished speaking, he was stopped by Doyle with a wave of his hand. Doyle didn't say anything else, but took the initiative to bring up the topic that Mr. Dan was most interested in.

"Mr. Dan, I heard that you have profound attainments in biology and shipbuilding. I would also like to ask for advice!"

That's right, professional talents can only use the most professional knowledge to convince him, and although Doyle does not have these, the Andre Academy of Sciences he founded has them, and he also has them in the memory of his previous life, and these are all things he can used.

In terms of biology, although the Academy of Sciences has a lot of vacancies in this area, it is not completely blank, especially when it comes to the human body.

Coupled with the biology of Doyle's six-year middle school in his previous life, it is enough to deal a dimensionality reduction blow to Dan in this regard.

As for shipbuilding, in this regard, Dr. Beta of the Academy of Sciences has mastered the most cutting-edge technology in the world. The various technologies attached to the Fuguo battleship alone are enough to attract any "old-school" shipbuilder.

In this way, under Jinping's bewildered eyes, Doyle actually chatted with Dan Chang, from marine biology to microbiology, from ordinary sailboats to steam battleships...

At this time, Doyle is like a learned young scholar. No matter what topic Dan raises, Doyle can always find the knowledge to respond and put forward his own reasonable point of view.

……

"Hu~~"

Dan took a deep breath and looked at the sunset outside the window again. Sure enough, indulging in the ocean of knowledge always makes people forget the passage of time.

"Prince Doyle, is what you said true?"

Dan still couldn't believe that in a place as far away as the South China Sea, someone actually established an organization to house scholars and scientists.

Even, according to the Prince Doyle, this organization was established ten years ago, and they already have a certain scale, and have mastered many advanced technologies and knowledge that they have never imagined.

The most important thing is that the founder of this organization is this young man who has exchanged knowledge with him for most of the day. You know, Doyle was only six or seven years old at that time!

Shock!

But I have to believe it, because the facts are right in front of my eyes, I can only say that he is the real favored one.

"Of course, it is well known that although the South China Sea is the sea area with the most scientific atmosphere among the four seas, even so, it still has not developed its own complete, bottom-up, systematic, and knowledge system."

"I created the "Academy of Science" to integrate the lifelong knowledge of all scholars and scientists, and finally sum up a knowledge system that can be learned by everyone."

"When they have completed their studies, Andre's major research institutes and laboratories will offer them olive branches, so that they can continue to do their favorite research with a good salary."

"Scholars can still make money to support their families, and they don't have to hide in the mountains; scholars will become a profession that everyone admires, instead of being called weak... trash because they have no power to restrain chickens!"

Doyle's last words are considered to have pierced into the heart of Dan, or some kind of ordinary scholar. Hearing this, it is almost unnecessary for Doyle to take the initiative to recruit. "Are.

"so……"

"Mr. Dan, there is only one purpose for coming here this time, and that is to invite you to join my Academy of Sciences in Kingdom Andre. I wonder if you would like to."
