Enthusiastic Scientists

Beneath a small hill, a tightly closed gate appeared before Sirius and his companions.

The heavy metal door gleamed with a dim light.

This is it.

The hunter glanced at Black as he said, "One of the two bases Dr. Vegapunk left behind before he left Baldimore."

"He left behind tight security measures, and it was indeed a bit too much to just barge in without permission."

He hesitated and said, "Maybe we should just forget about it?"

Sirius didn't know what to say.

This guy really doesn't know what a pirate is.

"Should we just barge in?" Yamato asked, sounding somewhat eager.

"Wait a minute, let me go check."

Black jumped off the boat and went to the gate, knocking and looking around.

Then he turned around and smiled, saying, "This is what Vegapunk left for those who come after him. He even set up a test; only by solving the mechanisms he left behind can this base be fully activated."

"Is that so?"

The hunter looked completely bewildered.

"Didn't you ever think about opening the base and taking a look?" Luo couldn't help but ask.

"Because it's not very good."

The hunter scratched his head, somewhat embarrassed.

Sirius couldn't help but chuckle. It seemed that this country's simplicity wasn't just limited to its natural environment; the people here were also quite interesting.

"Black, can you break through the test left by Vegapunk?"

Sirius asked.

If that doesn't work, then we'll have to resort to some more violent methods.

"It's very simple, this is technology from many years ago."

Black opened his arm, pulled out a connector, and then opened another interface next to the door, inserting the connector into it.

Oh, information technology, huh?

Without seeing what Black did, just a few seconds later the door began to shake, snow fell in a flurry, and then the door swung open.

What appeared before Sirius and his companions was a brightly lit road.

"Since this is Dr. Vegapunk's own idea, then there's no problem."

The hunter breathed a sigh of relief.

Not having to help the thief seems to have relieved him of a lot of pressure.

"Go in."

Sirius Road.

So everyone disembarked and went through the base's gate.

"I've already deactivated all the weapons."

Black said, "The base is very safe now."

"The base left behind by Vegapunk, what kind of technology is preserved inside?"

Page One said with great anticipation.

Although it may be technology from many years ago, it was still Vegapunk, the World's Number One Scientist!

At the end of the passage was a fork in the road, and a base map was pasted on the wall of the fork.

This is a very large base, divided into many areas.

Sirius and his friends took a quick look around the base and discovered that it was not only an experimental base but also a huge factory.

A fully mechanized factory requires no human labor whatsoever; the machines can perform all the work.

Inside this base, Black found many documents left behind by Vegapunk.

"Amazing!"

After only a cursory glance at Black, he exclaimed in amazement, "As expected of Vegapunk, the scope of his research is so vast!"

Have we found a solution to the energy problem?

Sirius asked.

"Got it."

Black waved the documents in his hand, "The Sirius's energy conversion technology is too outdated. I've found something much more advanced here!"

Is it backward?

If I remember correctly, the Sirius's main power source was seawater.

Is using the energy from seawater to transform into giant robots and unleash devastating attacks really considered outdated?

The science and technology of this world are truly overwhelming.

However, Sirius thought about it again and realized that using a large amount of seawater to power a large ship was indeed somewhat outdated compared to Franky's future method of using a bottle of cola to power a large robot.

"I also found information on more advanced energy storage technologies,"

Black was delighted. "That means we can store more energy! The battery life problem should be solved!"

"Excellent!"

Sirius was naturally pleased as well.

Sirius was naturally pleased that Black, Sirius, was becoming a better person.

"Then let's go to another base."

So they headed to the next base.

With the hunter leading the way, there was naturally no problem of getting lost.

Black opened the base gate as before, and the group went straight in, finding a lot of information inside.

This base is even larger than the previous one.

It contains more information and a more complete set of mechanical equipment.

Black was already preparing to move some useful equipment back to the ship.

While Sirius and the others were busy at the base, the hunter said goodbye, saying it was time to go back for lunch.

Sirius didn't insist on keeping him, after all, he had already helped a great deal.

But he never expected that this guy would bring him an even bigger surprise.

That evening, after the initial data on the base was compiled and the machinery that Black wanted had been moved, Sirius suddenly noticed a chaotic atmosphere outside the base.

Yamato noticed this too, and asked in surprise, "Could it be that the hunter uncle went back to inform us, and now he's coming to cause trouble for us?"

"It's not impossible,"

Jack nodded, then sneered, "But you've got guts. Knowing who we are, you still dare to cause trouble?"

"I don't think they're here to cause trouble."

Sirius smiled.

He is very good at sensing the strength of auras.

Therefore, it was clearly perceptible that the auras circling the Sirius outside were very weak, not even reaching the level of an ordinary adult.

"What are they doing?" Black asked, sounding somewhat annoyed.

Of course, Sirius is its main body.

Once outside the base, a group of people were loitering around the Sirius like perverts, touching and tapping it from time to time.

They were all a group of elderly men and women with white hair.

What are you doing?

Black roared angrily.

"Oh!! Is it you?"

The elderly men and women looked over, and the oldest-looking man in the group exclaimed upon seeing Black, "Warship Black!!"

Then, the old men surrounded Black, completely ignoring Sirius and the others.

"It really is a robot!"

"What amazing technology! It gives robots the emotions and intelligence of ordinary people!"

"Did you build that ship? We saw it on the news! It's amazing!"

"So, what technologies did you learn from Vegapunk's base?"

Sirius noticed the hunter standing to one side, walked over to him, and asked, "Who are these people?"

The hunter chuckled and said, "They're Baldimore's most outstanding scientists! They all said they wanted to come and see you after they heard you were here."

You've come to see Black, haven't you?

Sirius looked at the enthusiastic scientists, while everyone else was completely ignored.

"What exactly do you want to do?"

Black broke free from the group of elderly men and women, and said somewhat angrily.

The old man at the head of the group wasn't angry. He chuckled and said, "Robots with intelligence and emotions will possess learning abilities far exceeding those of humans. Given enough knowledge, they will evolve to a level that humans can hardly reach."

"So?" Sirius raised an eyebrow. "What are you planning to do?"

"Oh! You must be Mr. Sirius the Black Wolf, right?"

The old man greeted Sirius, then turned to Black, "The development of science and technology needs geniuses to drive it. In the past, it was Vegapunk, but that kid is now powerless to change his ways."

"So, if you don't mind, Mr. Black, please take all the knowledge on this island!"

"What?"

Jack's eyes widened. "Are you serious?"

"Of course!"

The old man shouted, "If knowledge cannot be passed on and developed, then it is meaningless!"

He sighed, "But our abilities have reached their limit, and the government is also blocking the spread of the technology."

Then he looked at Sirius, then at Black, "But you're definitely fine, Mr. Black. You might even surpass Vegapunk!"

"You're all fine Mr. Sirius, of course you won't care about the government's blockade!"

"We only hope for one thing: that science continues to advance!"

Honestly, I don't know what to say.

Thanks to the two bosses "Ji Hanxiao" and "Losing Money" for the huge reward of 500 points, and thank you to the boss "Please give me a lemon" for the huge reward of 1,500 points!
