"If we want to build a bridge connecting the two islands, of course, we have to pay attention to the size factor of the width of the bridge" Ikumi suddenly spoke, "The Kingdom of Alabasta is a kingdom built on a vast desert. Unlike other kingdoms which were built in fertile areas and also full of plants. The Kingdom of Alabasta was built in the territory already to leave a trace. Because at any time there is a possibility that such traces will be erased by the sand. With the construction of this bridge, we can also consider building a road connecting each place, Your Majesty. For example, the main road that connects the Alurbana area and also Nanohana. Of course, I believe that there is no main road to the two places that can help someone cross the place."
"Is that right, Robin?" Shiina asked curiously.
Robin nodded, "As miss Ikumi said. The territory of the Kingdom of Alabasta is a desert area and it is difficult to be able to leave a single trace because it will be directly ingested by the sand. So far, there is nothing that can be called the main road there and residents can only use natural directions as well as the sun to know the location of the existence of a city."
"If we want to carry out the construction of the main road in the Kingdom of Alabasta that will be used as a means of pointing" Myrd suddenly said, "We can set the size of the width of the main road to the size of the bridge that will later be built by us. With the vastness of the territory owned by the Kingdom of Alabasta. I don't think it's a problem to do the construction of the main road with a wide size. Wide roads will also make it easier for them to do transportation without fear of queues or other obstacles."
"The idea for the construction of this main road is indeed very good" Kaguya nodded, "However, will we consider the materials for the construction of the north road? Is it possible to use the concept we have using paving blocks? If you use these materials, I think it will be difficult for the Kingdom of Alabasta to be able to do it, especially those who currently have financial constraints on the finances they have"
"We don't need to use paving blocks" Hashirama suddenly spoke up, "We can use our means the first time the construction of this empire begins"
Everyone's gaze fell directly on Hashirama.
"Compared to using paving blocks, which will make the Kingdom of Alabasta have to spend a lot of money. We can make a road barrier only in the area where the main road will be built. Regarding the issue of the limiter, it can be left to me. I can build a barrier with a height of 1 meter on the periphery of the area where the main road will be built later. It can also become a basic concept for the construction of the main road for the Kingdom of Alabasta. As long as the Kingdom of Alabasta wants to improve its main road, it can later upgrade the main road using paving blocks at a time when the kingdom has restored its financial condition. Meanwhile, if they don't, they just need to pay attention and also bid on the periphery of the roadblock."
Hashirama paused and continued, "After all, later the kingdom will be converted into a forest. The case previously described by Robin regarding removing traces that had been left behind will begin to disappear and the main road built before will be able to be maintained as long as they take care of it."
Everyone instantly fell silent at this.
"Well, you rarely have something good to say, Hashirama," Rin said in a tone full of surprise.
"That's right" Jouichirou nodded, "It's rare that your brain is in an active state, Hashirama"
"Shouldn't you be the one looking at you, Jouichirou?" Kojirou asked sarcastically, "Almost during this meeting, you never put out your ideas"
"How can I come up with my idea? I'm quite exhausted today because there's a lot of work to do" Jouichirou said in a resigned tone when only got a basic look and a few people.
"This idea, which was built using the basic idea presented by Ikumi, is really good, and also I have thought about this before. I also agree and support this idea given by Hashirama. Although we will help carry out the territorial reconstruction of the Kingdom of Alabasta. Don't all of us have to do it? We just need to build the facility and let them develop it ourselves" Ars said calmly, "If we do it all, it will be bad for them later. Later they will become lazy, a person's ability to think at that lazy moment is a bad thing and that is something bad"
Everyone nodded in agreement with this.
"Ok, I think the idea regarding the issue of main road construction uses the concept given by Hashirama, no one opposes it, right? Or, does anyone have an even better idea or maybe an addition?"
"You'd better write down all the things that happened in this meeting, Your Excellency" Lowellmina suddenly said with a smile, "Moreover, there are a lot of things to be discussed in this meeting and it is afraid that after this meeting is over, we will forget all the things that happened at this time. Don't forget, every one of us has a lot of work to do every day. Even the work we had, it could have been, was forgotten by us on the spot."
"I think so too" Ars nodded.
"Just let me take note of it, Your Majesty," Shiina said, "I can do it"
"Please" Ars nodded.
The look in Ars' eyes then returned to everyone, "The discussion on the issue of building bridges and also the main road is over. Now it's about the issue of territorial reconstruction"
"Regarding the issue of territorial reconstruction" Megumi suddenly spoke a little nervously, "I think it's better for us not to turn the entire desert area into a forest, Your Majesty. We can defend some desert areas for other uses"
"That's right" Eina nodded, "We can tell at least one-eighth or one-sixth of the desert territory to be used in other conditions. As well as to be used as a place to live for desert animals and also other uses. If you turn the entire desert area into a forest area, many animals whose habitat was previously desert will experience depression due to sudden changes that allow them to die."
"I agree with this idea" Yoshino nodded, "We can't let many animals that die especially those animals that have a small population number die because it will only cause extinction"
"We can implement this idea, Your Excellency" Gin also agreed with the idea, "In addition to the territory, it can later be used as a habitat for native animals of the desert. We can also consider the area to be used as a place for the construction of power plants. I don't think the Kingdom of Alabasta has electricity at all, right?"
"Is that right, Robin?" Ars asked calmly.
"Naturally, Your Majesty" Robin nodded, "The electricity used by the Kingdom of Alabasta today is mainly for the Royal Palace and also the Casino previously used by Crocodile only uses battery alone as the electricity supply material. The Kingdom of Alabasta did not have a place that could help them to supply electricity willingness"
"The absence of electricity willingness..." Ars murmured and his gaze stared at Shakky, "Shakky, do the kingdoms in the territory around the Kingdom of Alabasta also have the same conditions?"
Shakky was quite surprised by this question and immediately answered it, "In the case of electric electricity. Most of the existing residences in the area around the Kingdom of Alabasta do not have power plants. Usually, they only use incandescent lamps or various other alternatives such as battery"
"I think this is an opportunity for the Kingdom of Alabasta, Your Majesty" Lowellmina said, "The Kingdom of Alabasta can use this opportunity to be able to generate income for their kingdom. The Kingdom of Alabasta has a relatively good intensity of sunlight, and the wind in the desert also often blows strongly every time. The Kingdom of Alabasta has a great many alternative options for their kingdom in terms of the selection of power plant construction"
"We can also add a gas power plant, Lowa," Rin said, "The Kingdom of Alabasta is an empire that has not been able to identify the natural resources they fully owned that are located within their territory. It may be that their kingdom has a very generous gas supply which through that amount of level gas, they can use it into electricity."
"I think so too" Lowellmina nodded, "Nonetheless. They must also have a device that can support this. Looking at the current conditions of the Kingdom of Alabasta, I think it will be difficult for them to be able to build a device that can support this."
"That's where our kingdom came in" Ars suddenly said, "If what Rin predicted is true and the Kingdom of Alabasta has devastating resources, especially the heavily level gas resources. Later we can try to build an agreement with the Kingdom of Alabasta" Ars paused and continued, "Our kingdom has technology that can help convert gas into electricity. We can help build a gas power plant in the kingdom by mutually accepted agreement. Later, we will also facilitate various kinds of things such as equipment and others."
"Why should we take such a deal, Your Majesty?" Nezuko, who had been silent before, suddenly asked, "Hasn't our kingdom established a cooperative relationship with their kingdom? In addition, we have also made great gains through the reconstruction agreement"
"That's a very different thing, Nezuko" Isshiki replied to his, "The deal we are currently doing with the Kingdom of Alabasta is only helping them to overcome the problems of the territory they have and not helping them provide the whole thing as well as power plants and the like. Regarding these things, they have to solve the problem. Of course, we will give ideas and others and those who execute them. As long as they ask our kingdom for help, especially in terms of construction, such as the construction of the power plant. Surely they have to pay"
"This is also not only the case for the Kingdom of Alabasta, Nezuko," Eina said, "But the rest of the kingdom whether it is establishing cooperative relations with our kingdom or not. As long as they need our services. We naturally have to pay them. If we don't do that, it will only hurt our side because we also have to prepare tools and materials and also the manpower that has to be expended is quite large."
"I see" Nezuko nodded.
"Regarding the idea given by, Rin" Shiina suddenly spoke, "Although later, the Kingdom of Alabasta may have very splendid natural resources, especially for gas. We also have to give them other alternatives and don't let them rely on the gas used as a power plant. Gas is a natural resource and if it were natural resources would certainly run out. At the very least, we should also suggest to them something that can be used as a power plant whose power will not run out even over a long period."
"I agree with this" Kaguya nodded, "Don't let them focus on just one of them. But give it another handle. Especially regarding the plan to let them sell the electricity they have to other regions which will speed up the exhaustion of the gas they have. We can get them to arrange other plans such as building solar power plants like we have or building wind power plants by utilizing the wind that is always blowing in their area."
"Compared to the idea of building a wind power plant," Kojiro said, "I am more inclined to the idea of building a solar power plant as we currently have. This is due to the maintenance costs for the windmill which will later be used as a medium, then the power that will be obtained. If you compare these two power plants. I guess the winner is a solar power plant that only needs a small amount of land for a batch of units. Meanwhile, wind power plants require a fairly large area to build the windmill."
"If we use such alternatives mainly for the selection of solar power plant construction," Eina said, "We must be prepared at any time the Kingdom of Alabasta will request the construction of solar power plants. At the very least, we have to be able to prepare enough solar panel stocks to be able to meet the demand" Eina paused and continued, "No, I don't think it's just preparing later. Prepare for now, however. If it comes to Rin's previous words about natural resources, especially gas, there is no one in the Kingdom of Alabasta. Surely the Kingdom of Alabasta will move their ideas related to such power plants to solar or wind panels if they want to build them. If that happens, we also have to be prepared."
"If it's until that happens" Ars suddenly spoke, "We can postpone in advance for the matter of power plant construction. At present, the thing that needs to be considered in the Kingdom of Alabasta is not the problem of electricity or anything else. What they should pay attention to at the moment is to get acquainted with their economic problems and others. This means that at this time what they need is a primary need and not a secondary need. Our kingdom is also currently still unable to help in terms of other developments because our kingdom is also currently still in the development stage and requires a lot of manpower. If we send our manpower to the Kingdom of Alabasta to build something, our kingdom will lack manpower which will have an impact on the pace of development of our kingdom."
Ars paused and continued, "For the time being, we will focus on building on the economic problems faced by the Kingdom of Alabasta at this time. However, we will also not forget about the electricity problem. Later, if our kingdom is ready, we will propose power plant construction assistance to the Kingdom of Alabasta. No need to rush"
Everyone was silent for a moment and all nodded,
"Well, because everyone agrees with the idea. Of course, we have to choose a suitable place where it will be used as a place to build a power plant and also a place where the desert greats live" Ars paused and continued, "Where do you think is the most suitable location to build the place?"
"We were able to wake it up in an area close to Alurbana City," Lowellmina said, "The layout of the construction is close to the strait. The territory will later be used as a place to build a power plant. The location must be close to the center of government to minimize the occurrence of accidents and if one day an accident occurs, the Kingdom of Alabasta can quickly overcome the problem. In addition, because of the previous idea that later the electricity would be supplied to other regions. Development near the strait is the best thing because that way, the cable that will later be used as a link can be directly passed through the strait without having to go through the land at all which causes a lot of work to be done."
"I have another opinion" Nakamura, who had been completely silent before, suddenly spoke and this matter attracted everyone's attention, "Regarding the issue of habitat construction where desert animals live, I agree that the place is built beside Alurbana City. However, I disagree with its construction besides the strait. I agree more if the construction of the place is on a different side of Alurbana City or if the map is on the left side of Alurbana City. As for the problem of building a power plant, a small area separated from the two islands of the Kingdom of Alabasta can be used as the place. This matter is to consider the safety factor."
Ars nodded and his gaze stared at Robin, "Does the territory have such a big size, Robin?"
"Not bad" Robin nodded, "The territory is almost like a small island"
"Well, if that's the case, the territory can indeed be used to build a power station, and also as Nakamura said. The place has a better safety factor compared to the territory previously given by Lowa" Ars said calmly.
"Are there any other opinions?" Ars asked back.
Everyone was silent and no one issued a single opinion.
"Well, if so. We will follow the advice given by Nakamura" Ars said calmly, "For the matter of power plant construction, we will advise the Kingdom of Alabasta to build it in the small territory. As for the habitat area for desert animals, we will build it in the area to the left of Alurbana City" Ars paused and continued, "I agree to the development on the left of Alurbana City because the area has a wider size and also considers the safety factor for the animals where in the event of a storm, the strait area can be a dangerous area for them, especially for small animals. I think this matter is also what Nakamura considers"
"Sure" Nakamura nodded with a pleased smile.
"It seems that your student is better than you, Jouichirou" Kojirou who got the opportunity to mock Jouichirou did not let go of this opportunity.
"Hahaha... Just say you're jealous of me for having someone cheer on me while you're not" Jouichirou returned with a grin.
"Hmph! Who—"
"Shut up!" Gin instantly said firmly and looked at the two with a scrutiny gaze, "We are currently in a meeting! If you two want to fight, do it afterward!"
Kojiro and Jouichirou instantly fell silent at Gin's words and immediately turned their attention to each other.
"I guess, there is some truth in also choosing Gin as the leader among them" Lowellmina muttered softly.
"yes" Rin nodded, "Only he can calm the two people who have never gotten along"
Rayleigh chuckled softly, "I guess, the meeting we had previously thought about will become more and more intense to relax the atmosphere a little bit"
"That's a good thing," Shakky said, "The more intense the meeting is also something that is not good. Because it will only drain the minds of the people who participated in the meeting."
Shakky paused and continued, "To be honest, I only participated in a meeting this time with this level of intensity. It is usually a meeting attended by me at the time of serving as Empress."
"It's not just you..." Rayleigh started seriously, "I am too. Joining a meeting with the people here must know. As long as you know, you can join the conversation and understand the conversation that is going on. However..."
"If that person does not know, that person will only be speechless and will be left behind" Shakky continued.
Rayleigh nodded in agreement with that.
It's not just the two of them who have such thoughts. Robin also had the same thoughts. As long as Robin joins an organization and participates in the meeting of the organization. The conversation that takes place in the meeting is not very deep and although a person does not have much knowledge, the person can take part in the conversation. However, in the meeting, he is currently participating in.
This meeting requires a lot of knowledge and anyone who has less knowledge will be silent and unable to give an opinion in the meeting. Even for Robinn's class, he had to think about his words before issuing an opinion so that the opinion would not be an opinion that was only hit by the wind or could be interpreted as a forgotten opinion.
