Chapter 765: Navigation at Sea
On the sea, the importance of navigators can be imagined, especially for pirates.
The Kingdom of Chronos can certainly make weather forecasts, but they don't do it.
Such state-of-the-art navigation equipment is only equipped in the Kingdom’s Navy warships.
Simple navigation technology is an amazing technology that shocked the entire ocean.
In this regard, the Kingdom of Chronos was very domineering.
A navigation device costs 20 million Baileys.
This price is actually not expensive compared to the amazing functions of the navigator.
Even if the price increases four or five times, there will still be people who will buy it.
Twenty million Baileys can be said to be a bargain.
However, the right to use it is only for one year.
Next, five million Baileys will need to be paid every year.
Otherwise the navigator will automatically shut down and become useless.
In this regard, the Kingdom of Chronos has a complete monopoly.
In addition to cracking the chaotic magnetic field of this ocean.
The Kingdom of Chronos also has the most complete nautical charts on the ocean, which are more complete than those held by the World Government.
Thanks to Mobius's cruise around the world.
The most fundamental thing is the Chronos Kingdom's terrifying trade system that spans the world, combined with its intelligence power.
The most important thing is the satellite hanging in the sky hundreds of kilometers above the sea, close to the space, which helps the Kingdom of Chronos monitor the sea.
Therefore, no one can imitate this technology.
Because satellites are the core technology.
Maritime navigation is nothing more than an application of satellite technology.
It's not just the pirate groups that need it, the navy, the navies of all forces, and even the merchants all over the sea, all forces need it.
Powerful technology enables the Kingdom of Chronos to earn astonishing profits of tens of billions or even more every year.
The World Government's heavenly gold really pales in comparison.
The seemingly eternal pointer can still replace the role of marine navigation.
But truly wise people know that maritime navigation is far more important than an eternal compass, especially on great routes.
And more convenient.
Even the navy, sailing on the great routes, will lose its way without an eternal compass.
The eternal pointer represents the unknown to a certain extent.
Navigation at sea is like having a God’s perspective, knowing exactly where you are.
Even if you have an eternal compass on the sea, it does not mean you are safe, as accidents can happen at any time.
Besides, this kind of high-end technology is not intended for ordinary people.
So far, only 10,000 marine navigation systems have been sold.
However, it also brings 50 billion in profits to the Kingdom of Chronos every year.
Moreover, more and more people are now aware of its role, which will take time to prove.
Profits will continue to increase in the future.
Marine navigation on a motorboat also requires special customization, which costs additional money.
In the more peaceful seas, ordinary motorboats and jet skis are more popular.
The Navy Headquarters wants to purchase them in bulk, naturally without the navigation system, otherwise a large amount of money would be spent every year to maintain this instrument.
Once the payment is stopped, the money spent on purchasing the house will be wasted, but you are reluctant to give it up.
This has caused a lot of criticism for the mysterious company that sells marine navigation devices, but they have to accept it.
Others just have this kind of confidence.
The mysterious company is naturally the superficial cover of the Chronos Kingdom.
The navigation device flowed directly into the underground world and began to spread in the underground world through an auction.
And it quickly spread throughout the world.
The Navy is aware of its strategic value.
If navigation devices are installed on warships, when targeting the enemy, an encirclement without any loopholes can be arranged based on the position of each warship.
If only there was such equipment back then.
There is no way that Roger's pirate group can escape from the encirclement of the navy.
After all, maritime navigation appeared around the time when the navy was focusing on Roger's pirate group.
However, although maritime navigation was somewhat famous at that time and the navy was amazed at its functions, they did not take it seriously.
After all, the price is too high and the terms are very overbearing.
Not many people would accept that.
And the origin is unknown.
If the Kingdom of Chronos publicly promotes it, it will definitely become popular all over the world from the very beginning.
But the Kingdom of Chronos did not do so.
Instead, use time to ferment and let time prove it.
From 500 units in the first year, to 2,000 units in the second year, to 8,000 units in the third year, to more than 10,000 units today.
Every year, the number of purchases is greatly increasing.
Why would Hades be willing to transport this product to the sea?
In fact, there is no need, and the Kingdom of Chronos is not short of money.
Did this technology have a big impact on the World Government and the Navy? Actually, not really.
However, Hades just wanted to see what kind of changes it would bring to the sea, at least the beneficial ones.
It will have little impact on the navy and the world government, but the pirates will become more cunning.
The connections between islands will become closer.
According to the navigation map, you will know how big the ocean is.
Of course, making money is also one aspect.
Today, the Kingdom of Chronos has a huge population and needs more industries to utilize more people.
Maintaining rapid development also requires huge amounts of capital.
Especially the investment in science and technology and education, which is an astronomical figure every year.
Even satellites have been released, and now the goal of the Chronos Kingdom is to monitor outer space and search for suspicious life forms.
He knew that there were pirates in the starry sky.
He also arranged for people to secretly land on the moon and find the remains left by the ancestors of the Sky Island people, who came to the sea from the resource-depleted moon and brought the ancient weapon, the Heavenly King.
There is the artificial intelligence technology that the Kingdom of Chronos needs.
Although the Kingdom of Chronos also has corresponding technology, it is not perfect.
