Pirates: This island has billions of black technologies Chapter 043

After undergoing a series of challenges and being officially named, the internal development of Hope Island reached an unprecedented peak.

However, Wei Ribao’s gaze was not misled by the prosperity before him. He knew clearly that the East Blue was ultimately too small to contain his grander vision.

While Lilith’s condition had improved, a complete recovery still required a journey to the Grand Line to find “Regeneration Island.”

A vaster ocean, more advanced technology, and hidden ancient mysteries all awaited him in the Grand Line.

During a solemn core management meeting, Wei Ribao sat at the head of the table.

“Everyone, we have forged a miracle in the East Blue, but our journey extends far beyond this,” Wei Ribao’s voice was deep and powerful. His gaze swept over everyone present, his eyes filled with profound contemplation for the future and unwavering determination. “Though the East Blue is stable, its resources are limited. More advanced technology and broader development space await us in the Grand Line.”

He did not fully disclose the specific details of Lilith’s illness, only vaguely stating, “At the same time, for the island’s long-term future development, I need to go to the Grand Line to find something very important. It is crucial for the future of Hope Island and concerns the destiny of each and every one of us.” He knew that Lilith’s safety was the most important thing in the hearts of all islanders.

Rod, the Chief Steward, Jack, the Infrastructure Supervisor, Lena, the Scholar, and Li An, the Physician, along with other core team members, all looked solemn.

Though they knew the dangers of the Grand Line, they had unwavering faith in Wei Ribao’s leadership and were filled with anticipation and a desire for challenge regarding the new world ahead.

They had grown accustomed to following Wei Ribao in creating one miracle after another and firmly believed he could lead them to an even more glorious future.

“Lord Wei, your subordinate is already prepared!” Rod was the first to express his readiness, his eyes gleaming with an old sailor’s longing for unknown waters. “Though the Grand Line is unpredictable, with Lord Wei, we will surely brave the winds and waves! My old life is yours!”

“Yes, Lord Wei! Jack also yearns to find more rare minerals and ancient mechanical remnants in the Grand Line!” Jack excitedly clenched his fists, his dark face glistening as if he already saw countless precious materials beckoning to him. “Hope Island’s technology will surely achieve greater development there!”

“I will be responsible for organizing all historical and geographical intelligence regarding the first half of the Grand Line, especially the scattered records concerning ‘Regeneration Island’,” Lena, the Scholar, pushed up her glasses, her eyes burning with a thirst for knowledge. “I even hope to find more clues about ancient civilizations! The Grand Line, that is a true paradise for scholars!”

“Please rest assured, Lord Wei, I will prepare ample medical supplies and the latest developed medicines to ensure the health of the islanders and Miss Lilith during the voyage!” Li An, the Physician, solemnly promised, his eyes filled with trust in Wei Ribao and concern for Lilith.

Looking at the firm and trusting gazes of his followers, a warm current surged within Wei Ribao.

He knew that he possessed a loyal and elite team. They were Hope Island’s most valuable asset and his confidence in challenging the entire world.

“Excellent!” Wei Ribao commanded in a deep voice, “Then, enter full and final combat readiness!”

Hope Island immediately began operating at high speed, entering the final preparation phase for its journey to the Grand Line.

Jack’s team reinforced the entire island’s structure to its maximum strength.

They used the latest refined high-purity metals and composite materials to strengthen the island’s bottom structure, allowing it to better withstand the complex currents and impacts of the Grand Line.

The island’s outer bio-metal city walls also underwent multiple form adjustment drills, ensuring they could quickly switch to optimal defensive posture in extreme environments.

All energy cores were thoroughly inspected and calibrated to ensure stable operation at maximum power.

Chief Steward Rod, in the command room, worked day and night with Wei Ribao to plan the optimal route to Reverse Mountain.

This route avoided all known major naval areas and regions potentially monitored by the World Government.

They also thoroughly studied the various challenges that might be encountered in the first half of the Grand Line, including magnetic field disturbances, strange weather, and potential Sea King clusters.

Lena, the Scholar, led her team in digitally backing up all ancient documents and maps (recorded via special inscriptions and energy crystals) and established a vast information database for comparison and analysis in the Grand Line.

They also organized trade information and danger level assessments for various islands in the Grand Line, preparing for future external exchanges.

Li An, the Physician, stockpiled large quantities of medical supplies and conducted first aid training for the guard members, ensuring effective response in emergencies.

The island’s food and fresh water reserves reached an unprecedented saturation, sufficient for the long journey.

Though the island residents felt nervous, they were more filled with anticipation for the Grand Line and the future.

They knew that Lord Wei would lead them to a broader, more exciting world.

They prepared for the expedition to the best of their abilities in their respective positions, each person’s face beaming with infinite trust in Hope Island and longing for a new life.

On the eve of their departure, one night, Wei Ribao brought Lilith to the vicinity of the energy ruins where they first met.

Moonlight cascaded down, casting a silvery glow over the ancient stone pillars. It was here that Wei Ribao had felt Lilith’s resonance with the island’s core energy when she was weak.

Lilith’s soft, flaxen hair gently fluttered in the night breeze. She wore the light-colored cotton dress Wei Ribao had made for her, her figure delicate.

She gently linked her arm with Wei Ribao’s, resting her head on his shoulder, her eyes filled with dependence and reluctance to leave.

“Lord Wei… are we really leaving this place?” Lilith asked softly, her voice carrying a hint of nostalgia for their home. She felt the East Blue sea breeze, a place where they had too many memories.

Wei Ribao gently embraced her, lowered his head, and kissed the soft top of her hair, feeling the softness of her body and her unique delicate fragrance.

“Yes, Lilith. The East Blue is too small to contain our dreams,” Wei Ribao’s voice was low and gentle. “The Grand Line has a broader world and the hope for your complete recovery. I will stay with you until you are completely well.”

Lilith looked up at him, her clear eyes brimming with love and trust.

She knew Wei Ribao was doing this for her and for the island’s future.

She extended her slender hand and gently caressed his resolute face, her fingertips slightly cool.

“Wherever we go, Lilith will follow Lord Wei,” she whispered, pressing her cheek against his chest, feeling the regular and reassuring rhythm of his heartbeat. His unique scent completely enveloped her, bringing an unparalleled sense of security.

Wei Ribao felt every curve of her body perfectly fitting against his. The warmth and peace she brought were his strongest backing in facing all challenges. He knew that as long as she was by his side, nothing could stop them.

Hope Island completed its final preparations for the Grand Line. All systems were ready, and the islanders’ morale was high.

They bid farewell to the East Blue, about to embark on the grand voyage to Reverse Mountain, to embrace a new world full of unknowns and miracles.
