The fact that Wapol lost the "national treasure" did not cause any controversy. Even after the king of the Drum Kingdom knew that it was a devil fruit, he did not say anything to Wapol.
He was just grounded for a few days, a mild punishment.
Orlan controlled his abilities and took Kate and Absalom on the way back, while in Piltover, everything was running as usual.
District 11 of Piltover is the industrial area on the island. Due to the terrain, it is always downwind. In addition, the terrain is suitable for sewage discharge, so most heavy industrial enterprises are concentrated here.
Boom! Boom!
The machines in the factory roared as the ore was refined and hammered into suitable steel. It was then transported to the factory ahead and processed into various required shapes, including some special military products.
Due to the special nature of the country of Piltover, these heavy industries are more or less related to the military industry and are also regarded as "state-owned enterprises" in the eyes of the islanders.
"Come on! This is the material for coastal defense artillery! You've seen it before, the Great Pirate Era is coming! If we don't want this country to become the hell it was six years ago, we'll use cannons to stop the pirates at sea!
This is a safe rear area. Soldiers are using their lives to protect the safety of the island. Do you want them to use substandard weapons? "
The speaker was a middle-aged man with a big beard, two scars on his face, and an unlit cigar in his mouth.
He is Hachilani, the factory director appointed by Oran, responsible for production issues here.
During the time of the Kingdom of Favre, Hachilani operated his own workshop on Firefly Island.
It originally ran a watch workshop, but it went bankrupt within a few years.
As for why it closed down
This workshop only sells large clocks such as wall clocks and table clocks, and the quality is exceptionally good. The clocks produced 30 years ago have no problems with their internal operation except for the damage to the outer paint.
Although the accuracy has shifted by a few minutes over time, it still does not affect its use.
This thing is not a consumable, one is enough for a family, and Hachilani has no intention of reducing the quality. In the end, the industry went bankrupt because the quality of the products was too good.
This kind of character is just right for heavy industrial production.
At this time, Hachilani was holding a vernier caliper, carefully checking the standards of each product.
This kind of personality makes him a good factory manager for the king. He is serious and responsible, works strictly according to standards, and is strict with himself and all employees.
But to ordinary workers, he is a bit devilish.
"Who's responsible for this?"
"Director, the technicians have reviewed it and the size is acceptable."
"I know it's qualified, and the standard allows for a +-0.5 error, but if I remember correctly, all the products you handled this month were just barely above the passing line, right?
You can pass the test perfectly, which is not easy at all."
"I"
"Young man, work harder. I remember you were an immigrant, right? You haven't experienced the dark ages of this kingdom. His Majesty Oran is the most unique king I have ever met in my life.
Although I've never been abroad, I don't believe any factory out there offers better treatment than this one! Work harder, and don't wait until you lose something to regret it."
This is part of daily life in the industrial area, but in another shallow area, it is a completely different scene.
This is the largest shallow area in Piltover, but now it looks like a rice field, with rows of green fruits growing here. These are the honey fruits brought by Orlan, but they have been improved.
These honey fruits are not capable of reproduction, and the fruits they produce cannot be used as seeds to cultivate the next generation. The varieties that can be bred are only planted individually in the castle and cared for by Frankenstein.
Honey fruits prefer places with abundant water sources and are usually planted in wetlands. In the central waterway, there are many creatures with green shells crawling around.
Insects and weeds in the farmland, as well as fruits that fall to the ground prematurely due to unexpected factors are all their food.
These green crustaceans are called river scuttling crabs in Valoran and are creatures of relatively low intelligence.
The specific manifestation is that they will not fight back when beaten, but will only run around in a fixed area.
Although they feed on honey fruits, these swift crabs will not attack the roots of honey fruits. Only honey fruits scattered on the ground can attract their attention.
The meat is plump and nutritious, and is a classic delicacy on the Valoran continent, suitable for various cooking methods.
Breeding and reproduction is not difficult. There were a few swift crabs on the boat that appeared here with Orlan, and now they have grown to a large scale.
At this time, Leliana was catching swift crabs nearby with a basket.
"One for Dad and one for Sister Kate."
Leliana is planning the food according to a special food distribution method. After all, the food distribution ratio among Oran's family and friends has always been strange. Overall, Leliana and Ginny eat 90%, and the rest of the people eat the remaining 10%.
If there are any leftovers, others won't mind and will probably eat them together.
Don't get me wrong, the leftovers refer to the 10% that Oran and his group have left over, not the leftovers that Leliana and the others have eaten.
If there was food left on Ginny and Leliana's plates one day, it was either because they were sick or the cook wanted to poison the food and made it inedible.
A large part of the crops and swift crabs here will flow into the domestic market of Piltover after processing. They are considered high-end food ingredients, and the honey fruits are even considered health foods.
There is no doubt that this area is Oran's private property, but this is a very normal situation under the rule of the kingdom. After all, many countries clearly state in their laws that everything within the territory belongs to the king.
Oran only occupies a part of the land and finds people to cultivate it, which is considered very restrained by the locals, not to mention that it also provides a lot of jobs.
"Princess Leliana, why did you come here in person? Wouldn't it be better if you just gave me an order for this matter?"
At this time, the person in charge of the farm also came over. Seeing Leliana stepping on the muddy land by herself, the person in charge was shocked.
How could a princess do such a thing on her own? After thinking about it, he couldn't even think of any other words to describe it except "outrageous".
"Why are you here? I have hands and feet. I can do whatever I want."
Looking at the full basket of swift crabs, Leliana felt that it was more than enough, so she flew directly back to the royal city.
"The Sidiliel royal family is really weird."
It is not the first year since the founding of Oran, and the entire royal family has left a very stereotyped impression in the kingdom.
Orlan was a good king. He usually lived in seclusion and rarely interfered in the lives of his people. However, he developed many people's livelihoods and occasionally helped his people treat illnesses in the hospital.
This is the impression of ordinary people. They don't know that their king is not in the country for an average of half of the year.
The king's travel does not need to be reported to ordinary citizens. Only Brand, an official who has more contact with the royal family, is worried about the impact caused by the monarch's offline.
The eldest princess likes to stare blankly near the power generation facilities, often sitting there for most of the day, and is quite sleepy.
This is how outsiders understand Frankenstein's usual sleep mode, thinking she is a taciturn princess.
The impression given to Leliana was that she liked delicious food, was good at fighting but had a gentle personality. In short, everyone had broken their inherent perception of the royal family.
The reason why Leliana went to catch swift crabs was simple. Oran was about to come back. When he returned to the royal city again, he saw Leliana fiddling with crab meat.
"Dad, welcome home. Look at these. I made them myself."
"It looks delicious. You must be impatient. Let's eat first."
Oran knew exactly how much crab meat a swift crab could produce. Judging from the crab meat on Leliana's plate, she was simply fiddling with the crab shells, waiting for Oran to come back.
After all, it was made for Orlan, and she felt it was not a good idea to start eating it before Orlan came back.
The fact that Leliana could temporarily control her appetite was enough to show how important Oran was to her.
And the Swallowing Fruit was placed directly on the table by Orlan.
Looking at the mouth-like pattern on the fruit, Leliana was a little curious about the fruit.
"Dad, did you go all the way to the Drum Kingdom just for this fruit?"
"Yes, although it doesn't have the same direct combat power enhancement as your fruit and Ginny's Thunder Fruit, it is very important. With it, the limitations of material science can basically be broken."
Different fruits have different applications and their own focuses.
Although Bear can use the Meatball Fruit to synthesize some special materials, the prerequisite is that the synthetic materials can be synthesized in the first place, and the Meatball Fruit only serves as a pressure hammer.
But the Swallow-Swallow Fruit is different. Anything eaten can be fused together by the Swallow-Swallow Fruit, and even new materials that did not exist in the world before can be created.
This is the characteristic of the fruit, and years of research have allowed Orlan to confirm one thing.
The ability of the devil fruit itself is a special kind of rule, and it often does not follow the physical rules seen by humans.
For example, the fusion and transformation of the Swallow-Swallow Fruit, even the user of the fruit cannot explain the operating logic.
Another example is a certain Silence Fruit, which has the ability to create a soundproof wall that is invisible to the naked eye to block out all external sounds, so that people inside the soundproof wall cannot hear any external sounds, and people outside cannot hear the sounds inside.
The reason this soundproof wall can achieve soundproofing is because of the rules of this fruit, and it has nothing to do with eliminating vibrations. It can only make sound disappear. Trying to use it to restrain the Tremor-Tremor Fruit is just a joke.
"The Swallow-Swallow Fruit, a parahuman devil fruit.
It can allow the user to merge with the food they eat and make it part of the body, or it can synthesize things to create entirely new substances.
Blitzcrank, get ready, I'll give you a core upgrade later so it becomes yours."
Orlan is already familiar with integrating superhuman devil fruits into Hex Cores, and Frankenstein is a living example.
Natural-type characters like Zac are difficult to replicate, but superhuman-type characters are easier, and this is also the fruit reserved for Blitzcrank.
"Blitzcrank, get ready."
Some time later, in the laboratory under the royal city, Blitzcrank's body lay quietly on the laboratory table, and his eyes had become dim.
The special Hextech core in its body was also taken out by Orlan and is currently being fused.
As the first special "life form" created by Orlan, and a hand-rolled version when the technology was imperfect, Blitzcrank finally had the opportunity to be upgraded.
"Bear, Kate, what do you think Blitzcrank will become?"
Outside the laboratory door, Ginny was holding a piece of grass root in her mouth, looking a little conflicted. Not only her, but Kate, Xiong and the others were also here.
Blitz had some special meaning to them. It was a body that was created by several people working together in a small workshop in the Kingdom of Solbe.
Upgrading is also a good thing for robots, and it was done by Orlan himself, so it is a big improvement no matter how you look at it, but the waiting process always makes people impatient.
"No matter what his appearance becomes, Blitzcrank's heart won't change."
There was still that gentle smile on Xiong's face, but his eyes were always fixed on the door, waiting for the changes inside.
"Don't worry, Orlan will definitely be able to do it."
Click.
As soon as Kate finished speaking, the door of the laboratory reopened, and Blitz walked out with the same familiar steps, looking unchanged.
"Hello everyone, I'm back again."
"Didn't Brother Orlan update you? Why do you look the same?"
Ginny patted Blitzcrank's iron belly, a little puzzled.
"Because this is a body we all made together, Blitz likes it. As for the master's changes, they are here."
Blitzcrank raised his arm and aimed at a pile of mechanical materials in the laboratory.
It was the same mechanical flying claw as usual, but this time it was like a big mouth. The moment it touched the metal material, it would eat all the material.
In the original timeline, after Wapol ate the Swallow-Swallow Fruit, he could only rely on his mouth to use his abilities, which is also the limitation of the Swallow-Swallow Fruit.
However, when the devil fruit was applied to the mechanical body, new changes occurred.
Blitzcrank's body does not have the concept of a mouth, so many parts of his body can complete the swallowing process.
After those materials were eaten, Blitzcrank's body was gradually covered with a layer of white. Not only the outer shell, but even the internal structure had changed.
"This is Blitzcrank's new outfit, what do you think?"
A smiley face appears on Blitzcrank's face, and after integrating these new materials, Blitzcrank also has more facial expressions.
But the next moment, Blitz opened his chest and spit out the material he had "eaten" before.
"The new body is very strong, but normally, Blitz still prefers it this way."
