Great Scientist

Baldimore is indeed a very special country. Black said that the country has always adhered to the concept of harmonious development with nature, and he was not joking.

Although it is probably the country with the highest level of science in the world, Baldimore does not appear to be very developed on the surface. It is not comparable to a bustling metropolis like Tsukimi Island, and even cities like the capital of Alabasta are more prosperous than this country.

Baldimore's cities are scattered like villages in the forest, looking almost like log cabins from the outside. If an outsider were to arrive without knowing the inside story, they would hardly believe that this is the world's leading technological power, and it would be an overestimation of the place if they didn't mistake it for some kind of primitive tribe.

However, that's only the outside; the inside of the house is certainly not so simple.

The various fully mechanized devices, along with a complete set of household appliances, represent two completely different concepts from their appearance.

Baldimore are very resistant to environmental alteration. At most, they work underground, creating numerous underground spaces of varying sizes while preserving the natural environment to the greatest extent possible.

At this moment, Sirius and his group are in the largest underground space in the country, which is the research base of the Baldimore Academy of Sciences, where the country's most outstanding scientists have gathered.

"Take a look! Mr. Black, this is all the research data I've accumulated throughout my life!"

"Never mind him, he's spent his whole life dealing with seeds. Look at mine, Biological Science is the right direction for human evolution!"

"What nonsense! Only physics can correctly guide humanity forward!"

"Get out of my way, all of you! Without our mathematics, you're nothing!"

One by one, the gray-haired, highly respected scientists surrounded Black, just like the elderly men Big Mom shopping at the market in the morning. They crowded around him, each holding thick stacks of documents and pushing their way in front of Black.

"It's unbelievable that something like this could happen."

Maria said with some emotion, "I know I still can't quite believe it."

Sirius understood her feelings.

This is only natural. Who would have thought that the scientists of this country would be willing to give all the results of their life's work to this group of pirates on their very first meeting?

"Isn't that hard to understand?"

At this moment, an old man emerged from the crowd; it was the old scientist who had led the group earlier.

His name is Jonathan, and he is the Chief Scientist of Baldimore and chairman of the Baldimore Chairman of the Autonomous Committee.

This country is not a monarchy.

Old Jonathan dusted himself off. He had already given all the research data to Black. He said with a sigh, "Mr. Sirius, have you ever felt despair?"

"Despair?"

Yamato tilted his head.

Sirius thought for a moment, then nodded. "So-called despair means being powerless, right? Of course I've felt that."

In his past life, when he lay on his sickbed, he could only helplessly watch his father and mother's tears. This must be what they call despair, right?

"Sirius?"

Yamato turned back to look at Sirius in surprise, "When—"

They grew up together.

"It was before I met you, but that's all in the past now."

Sirius smiled and ruffled her hair. "Now I will never despair again."

Because we already possess the power to change everything and have trustworthy partners.

"Kindness."

Yamato, and said with a smile, "Anyway, no matter what happens, we'll face it together."

"Have we gone off-topic?"

Luo's lips twitched slightly. "Is this the time to watch you two being all lovey-dovey?"

He asked, "So, Dr. Jonathan, what do you mean?"

"Scientific progress has its limits,"

Dr. Jonathan sighed. "Our technology has reached its limit until we achieve further breakthroughs in basic science. Do you understand? That feeling of despair. We haven't made any technological breakthroughs for many years."

"Add to that the government's technology ban, and communication with the outside world is impossible; this country has no hope of making any further progress."

That's quite a strong drive to improve.

Sirius sighed.

To be honest, Baldimore's technology at that time was already quite advanced. While it might not be as advanced as Vegapunk's by five hundred years, it could easily be two or three hundred years ahead of the world.

But they still yearn for further scientific advancements.

"Science is the technology that changes the world."

The old doctor said earnestly, "We cannot tolerate this stagnation."

"We can't count on that idiot Vegapunk anymore. Mr. Black is our hope. A robot like him, with his own intelligence and emotions, can continuously evolve as long as he has enough knowledge! He will definitely go further on the path of technology!"

"Then--"

An embarrassed smile appeared on the old man's wrinkled face.

Sirius already understood what he meant. "That's fair, and I don't think Black would refuse."

"Right, Black?"

"Of course!" Black shouted from the crowd. "Science should be disseminated and spread."

"Very good!"

Old Jonathan excitedly pumped his fist.

Sirius couldn't help but smile. The people of this country were very pure, especially these scientists; they simply wanted to promote technological progress.

It's no wonder the government wants to block this country's technology; if these scientists were allowed to spread this technology, the world would be in chaos.

We obtained an overwhelming amount of technical information this time.

It took Black two days just to scan all the data and store it in his Mainframe.

After he finally finished saving all the data, Sirius asked with a smile, "How does it feel to have so much data all at once?"

"Black, are you already the World's Number One Scientist?" Yamato asked expectantly.

The total amount of data obtained this time far exceeds the combined amount of Dr. Tsukimi's gift and the knowledge gained in Birka.

This will undoubtedly be a major step forward for Black's technology.

Calling him Great Scientist is no exaggeration.

"There are just too many problems,"

Black said, somewhat dizzy, "I feel like my brain isn't working properly right now."

Got it, the processor was overloaded.

"I want to start by transforming and upgrading myself."

Black said, "Otherwise, it will probably take a long time to fully digest the knowledge we have gained this time."

"We can fully cooperate!"

Old Jonathan said with a grin.

Thus, a new round of modifications began, this time focusing on the modifications to Black's Mainframe and the Sirius's Energy System.
