Pirates of the First Empire

Doyle and Lu Xiude quickly conducted a preliminary negotiation. Of course, they only need to reach a consensus on some general issues. In terms of details, someone will naturally discuss them.

However, now Doyle is most concerned about nothing else, but Lu Xiude himself, and the so-called "mechanism technique" passed down from ancient times by the Lu family in his mouth.

When I arrived at Doyle, there was a strong sense of déjà vu, good guy, this is the so-called "logical completion". It seems that there are many "things" that I am familiar with in the Flower Country.

Now, he just wants to say, Lu Xiude, you still say you are not a descendant of the Mohist family!

"Your Highness Doyle, these are exquisite playthings made with the mechanism technique inherited from my Lu family."

Seeing that Doyle is very interested in mechanism techniques, Lu Xiude is no longer that "old fox". Anyway, the general direction has been set, so there is no need to worry about the rest.

Therefore, Lu Xiude took out many small mechanism creations from the wall made of drawers behind him, and placed them all on the tea table.

Doyle and the people around him couldn't help but be fascinated by the animals walking on the ground, climbing walls, flying in the sky, swimming in the water, and even drilling holes...

"Old man, you have such technology, and you can create some powerful weapons to deal with the enemy. Isn't that easy? How could you be beaten like this by a few guns?"

Victor asked the question in everyone's mind, there is no way, even these "playthings" can be so delicate, and more importantly, these things don't even need "fuel"?

"Old Lu, these are not created by some kind of devil fruit ability? Where does their energy come from?"

Doyle couldn't help asking, if it wasn't for the effect of the devil fruit, what would move these things that can even see the gear structure clearly?

Lu Xiude also seemed to have expected this question a long time ago, and explained to Doyle and the others leisurely:

"Your Highness Doyle, these things are indeed not devil fruit creations, but if you insist, they may be even rarer than devil fruits."

"The most important thing about my Lu Clan's mechanism technique is not the word mechanism on the surface, but "shu". This so-called technique does not refer to any magic secret technique..."

"It's the tree, the tree of the tree, and the way to grow it."

Hearing this, Doyle seemed to understand a little bit, and thought to himself: Sure enough, since the mechanism is not special, it must be a problem of raw materials.

Holding the mechanism mouse in his hand, Lu Xiude continued to speak.

"The materials for these organs come from the twigs of the ancestral tree in our family, and our ancestral tree is called the "living tree" in the country of flowers."

"The entire country of flowers, and even the whole world, cannot find a second tree, because as long as our ancestral tree is still alive, there will be no second tree."

"There was a tree first, and then various application methods were developed. This is the source of mechanism art."

"And this special method of raising trees can only be mastered by my Lu family, and other people can't do anything if they know it. This is the foundation of the Lu family's life."

"Of course, because of the perennial research on mechanism techniques, our family has no rivals in the country of flowers, or even the entire West Sea, in terms of making other utensils. However, because it is all manual work, the shipment volume is not large."

No wonder, Xihai's handmade products and high-end luxury goods can be said to be scarce goods that are popular all over the world.

As for the mechanism creations that Doyle saw, they all came from the same tree, that is to say, these mechanism creations are very limited, and they are not enough to arm ordinary troops.

"But in recent years, we seem to have reached a dead end. It's ashamed to say that while the attainment of cold weapons is getting higher and higher, we don't know anything about hot weapons."

"This is also the reason why I, the Lu family, are qualified to work for His Majesty's Ministry of Industry and Armaments for generations, but the times have changed now..."

This world is not the era when hot weapons were king in Doyle's previous life, but those cold weapons that are powerful enough and have various special effects.

Then as long as it is in the hands of the real strong, the destructive power it can exert will be extremely terrifying.

The Lu family has a history of at least a thousand years, even if they only guard one big tree, it is estimated that they can save a lot of "big pieces".This is where their real confidence lies.

This was the real reason why the King of Flowers had to use them, and it was also the reason why old man Lu dared to run all the way from the West Sea to the Chambord Islands with just a few people.

Thinking of this, Doyle suddenly had an idea.

"I can call the shots and let Ambraray Company directly invest in the establishment of a weapon factory or even a weapon research institute in your country of flowers."

As soon as the words fell, old man Lu was excited and wanted to give a big gift again, but was interrupted directly by Doyle.

"Your Highness Doyle, please tell me what you want, as long as we can help you, you will not be disappointed!"

"Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you. It's impossible for you to give up the foundation of your family's livelihood for the sake of the royal family. In comparison, the family is greater than the country, right?"

"Your Highness Doyle, you are joking..."

Lu Xiude is a little confused, this kind of thing, everyone should see through it and not talk about it, why are you bringing it up?

"Well, I just want all the mechanism technology you have accumulated, as well as the related notes and books in your family. This is the condition for establishing a weapon factory."

"As for the Weapons Research Institute, there is no rush. Let's wait until the factory is in place."

Hearing that the conditions were only so loose, Lu Xiude hurriedly nodded in agreement, and then said vowedly.

"Of course there is no problem. For the sake of the kingdom, our Lu clan is willing to devote all our efforts..."

It's really better spoken than sung.

Indeed, what Doyle wants is nothing more than "copying and pasting" these things to them. Anyway, there is no "tree of life", and everything is a castle in the air.

"Of course, all of this has a premise."

"That is, we have to wait for my power in Umbrella to really develop to the first half of the great waterway. Otherwise, given the distance between our South Sea and West Sea, it will be very difficult for us to help."

However, it will be very soon. Within two years, according to Doyle's plan, Ambraley will officially enter the Great Channel as the new giant of the underground world.

"Well, for so many years, His Majesty the King has endured humiliation and has come here. We are just waiting for a while. We can afford to wait. I believe in the strength of your Majesty Yi Daoer, this matter couldn't be easier..."

According to the description of Doyle and his subordinates in the newspapers and intelligence, Lu Xiude has no doubts about whether Amblay can gain a foothold in the great channel in the future.
