# Chapter 41: Manufacturing
Glancing at the Tyrant Bear lying on the test table, Su Xiao's expression remained unchanged. With Kizaru, Tina, and the others all in the room, he couldn't show any other emotions.
"Dr. Vegapunk, how many days will Bear's modification take? Marshal Sengoku has urged me to return as soon as possible these past few days."
Kizaru spoke. After all, he was a Navy Admiral. Although he was stationed here permanently, he still had to fulfill his duties as an Admiral.
"It should take about another week. You can't leave for now. The PX Project needs your Devil Fruit ability to be perfected."
"Ah~, what a headache."
Kizaru nodded lazily, then glanced sideways at Su Xiao.
"White Night, your laboratory is ready. Let me show you around. That's where you'll be working from now on."
As Kizaru spoke, he walked out of the laboratory. Vegapunk continued working.
Su Xiao's laboratory wasn't far from here, only two rooms away.
Entering the laboratory, a collection of precision machinery came into view. In the center of the room was an experimental table with many materials placed on it, and beside it, a comfortable chair.
Su Xiao walked over to the experimental table and sat down, inspecting the various materials one by one. Although the names differed from what he had listed, the properties of the materials were the same.
Picking up several materials, after simple blending, Su Xiao began manufacturing alchemy bombs. Dozens of seconds later, an alchemy bomb appeared in his hand.
The alchemy bomb produced this time was slightly different from previous ones. Due to the difference in materials, this bomb was milky white and had a slightly harder texture.
Su Xiao checked the bomb's attributes.
【Intermediate Psychic Bomb】
Quality: White
Type: Consumable
Effect: Can be activated at any time by consuming 1 Mana Point (Range 800 meters, increased to 1 kilometer when detonated by the manufacturer). Upon explosion, deals 96 damage within a 6-meter radius. Can slightly alter shape. Can be attached to most objects.
Rating: 8
Introduction: This item cannot be taken out of this derivative world.
After reviewing the effects of the Intermediate Psychic Bomb, Su Xiao was very satisfied. Although the power was slightly lower than those manufactured using Paradise Coins, other aspects were still excellent.
Su Xiao tossed the manufactured alchemy bomb to Kizaru.
"Due to the different materials, there's a slight color difference, but the quality hasn't decreased."
Kizaru roughly inspected the Intermediate Psychic Bomb, then handed it to Tina for specialized testing.
"We can provide the technology to you, but it's unlikely you'll be able to manufacture it."
"No need. We've already verified the technology. Dr. Vegapunk can't manufacture this type of bomb."
Su Xiao raised an eyebrow. It seemed the Navy had already prepared for this.
"Then we won't disturb you any further, White Night... Doctor."
Kizaru's tone was a bit strange, but Su Xiao didn't pay it any mind.
"Wait."
Kizaru, Sentomaru, and the others stopped in their tracks.
"I'm hungry."
Su Xiao's words left the three of them stunned. Tina quickly reacted.
"Forgive my rudeness. I forgot to prepare breakfast for Mr. White Night earlier."
"Not just me, but also my partner. He has a large appetite. Prepare five portions, no, ten portions of food."
Su Xiao had already experienced the cuisine of the One Piece world. As this was a secret Navy base, the chef's skills should be quite high.
"Breakfast will be delivered in ten minutes. May I ask if Mr. White Night prefers something light or..."
Tina had become a little secretary. This was the Navy's arrangement—each important researcher had a Navy guard and overseer by their side.
Vegapunk had Sentomaru by his side. Now Tina held a position similar to Sentomaru's: secretary + life assistant + bodyguard + overseer.
Tina was a Devil Fruit user, her ability being the Barrier-Barrier Fruit, which could create barriers to trap enemies, making her very suitable for watching over someone.
Placing Tina beside Su Xiao also carried another meaning: if Su Xiao showed any abnormal behavior, Tina would restrain him immediately.
Kizaru and the others left the room. Su Xiao took off his coat and stretched.
If he could mass-produce alchemy bombs, that would be enough. Not only that, but Su Xiao could make the Navy drop their suspicions of him within two days. In fact, by then, the Navy would have no choice but to heavily rely on him.
As his alchemy bomb manufacturing level increased, the bombs he produced would become stronger. At that point, he wouldn't fear the Navy trying anything against him.
On the experimental table in front of him were large quantities of materials and 【T3 Potions】. If the materials or potions ran out, someone would immediately come to replenish them.
Picking up several materials, white light flickered in Su Xiao's hands. The materials gradually dissolved and purified. Forty seconds later, they became an Intermediate Psychic Bomb.
Setting the alchemy bomb aside, Su Xiao repeated the process. The number of alchemy bombs on the experimental table rapidly increased.
One, two, three...
After placing 26 alchemy bombs on the table, Su Xiao's Mana Points were depleted.
He picked up a 【T3 Potion】 and drank it. His Mana Points quickly recovered, reaching full in a few seconds.
"Mr. White Night, your breakfast is ready."
Tina's voice came through, not loud.
"Bubu, you eat first. I'll eat later."
Su Xiao picked up the materials to continue manufacturing alchemy bombs. The process wasn't noisy. Each bomb he made deepened his understanding of alchemy bombs.
This was like an accumulation process. Only when Su Xiao thoroughly understood one type of alchemy bomb could he manufacture stronger ones.
"Woof."
Bubu Teni barked but just sat in front of the dining table without eating.
"Mr. White Night, you should eat first. The bombs can be made later."
Su Xiao paused, his hand holding the materials, then set them down and walked toward the dining area. The laboratory was fully equipped, with a dining room, bedroom, and other facilities built-in.
Walking to the dining table, the food was very abundant.
"Today's main course is Sea King meat and woolly sheep meat from Saint Chi Island."
Su Xiao forked a piece of lamb and took a bite. The meat was tender, fatty but not greasy.
"Aren't you eating together?"
Su Xiao looked at Tina.
"No, I've already eaten."
Gurgle~.
Tina's stomach growled, creating an awkward moment.
Tina's position was special now. She couldn't have any friendship with Su Xiao, not even a superior-subordinate relationship.
"Never mind then."
Su Xiao ate slowly and methodically. Beside him, Bubu Teni began devouring the food, eating until his mouth was greasy.
Ten minutes later, Bubu Teni lay on the ground, his belly visibly bulging. He even let out a burp, his eyes half-closed—a happy dog's life.
Several Navy soldiers began clearing the table. Su Xiao returned to the experimental table to continue manufacturing alchemy bombs.
The materials on the table quickly decreased. The number of empty test tubes at Su Xiao's feet grew. Three hours later, the alchemy bombs on the table had piled up like a mountain, totaling over 300 bombs.
As he continuously manufactured alchemy bombs, Su Xiao's speed increased. From the original 40 seconds per bomb, it shortened to 31 seconds per bomb.
Practice makes perfect. Su Xiao became more and more skilled at manufacturing alchemy bombs.
Su Xiao was already immersed in alchemy. Only he and Bubu Teni were in the laboratory. No one else would stay inside, after all, there were over 300 explosives in the room.
If he detonated these alchemy bombs, aside from the Navy Admiral, the chances of anyone else surviving were slim. In this laboratory, he had absolute dominion.
