At noon, in the factory area filled with black smoke, tall buildings were scattered throughout the area. From the top of the chimneys, billowing smoke seemed to fill the sky for miles around.
Next to the factories dedicated to manufacturing various metal products, there are many low-rise sheds used for workers' accommodation, and there are extremely solid dirt roads under their feet.
At this time, either a strong man carrying a hammer and shovel and wearing rough linen clothes passed by by the roadside, or there was a group of shirtless men sleeping on the straw mat inside the shack, making bursts of snoring.
While walking, you can often see several spacious warehouses about four to five meters high and more than ten meters wide. There are a large number of finished ninja tools of all kinds piled inside. The doors are open, and it seems that there is no fear of anyone stealing them.
This place is the largest manufacturing factory in the country of Kawakawa that produces all kinds of cold weapons and agricultural tools. The order for ninja tools submitted by Lei Luo to the daimyo of Kawakuni was completed here.
But Lei Luo's purpose of coming here has nothing to do with that huge batch of purchase orders. Although he came here to check the progress of the manufacturing of ninja tools, what he really wanted to check was...
It is not a simple ninja tool in the conventional sense, but a secret weapon that is unique to him.
Passing by a group of low shacks and passing by the workers who were hurriedly moving forward, Lei Luo ignored the curious eyes looking at him and asked him as if there was no one around him:
"Have all the confessions been recorded?"
"Yes."
"Send a copy to Danzo as soon as possible. Let Minato do this."
"OK."
"Have the food and grass supplies been in place?"
"A total of ten thousand sets of ninja tools, one..."
"Needless to say, you just need to be aware of specific things like this."
Interrupting Nonoyu's speech, Lei Luo turned his head and glanced at the former with a slightly annoyed look, then frowned slightly and asked:
"What's the situation in the Kingdom of Rain? Has it not moved yet?"
"No."
Shaking his head, No Naiyu flashed a look of doubt on his face:
"Three days have passed since the agreement was signed, but the more than 5,000 Konoha ninjas over there...have shown no sign of starting back to the village."
"Master Huan sent someone to tell you that he has been keeping an eye on that place and will not miss any important target."
"Sarutobi Hiruzen, what are you doing..."
Lei Luo narrowed his eyes slightly and had some doubts in his heart:
Whether it was the constant disputes between the two factions in the village, his delay in eliminating dissidents in the Kawa Country for two years, the three-party conspiracy incident, or the existence of Uchiha and this spy...
All of the above factors have resulted in the two sides now being at odds with each other, and there is no room for relaxation in the middle. Hiruzen Sarutobi cannot fail to understand the current situation.
In this situation, the correct approach should be to return to Konoha as soon as possible and use the Hokage's name to summon most of the ninjas in the village to fight against Lei Luo, instead of continuing to delay seemingly passively like now.
Could it be that……
"What's the situation on the battlefield over there at Hatake Sakumo? You should know what I'm referring to."
Without even a second of thinking time, Nonoyu blurted out: "Danzo-sama's information shows that Hatake Sakumo has not made any changes and is still fighting Kirigakure."
"Aren't you going to recall Hatake Sakumo?"
After muttering something in a low voice and thinking for a while, Lei Luo found it difficult to figure out:
Is Hiruzen Sarutobi looking out for the overall situation and not wanting Kirigakure to take advantage of the situation due to internal disputes, or is he confident that he can defeat Lei Luo with the remaining troops of the Rain Country?
Not counting the high-end combat power of both sides, 5,000 people fighting 3,000 people does seem to have some advantages, so is Sarutobi Hiruzen not planning to return to the village and directly have a decisive battle in the wild?
Or, wait until you make the move first?
Just at this moment, an old voice came into his ears, interrupting Lei Luo's thoughts: "Master Lei Luo, are you here to inspect the goods?"
Five meters in front, an old man with a bare upper body, a wrinkled face, and quite muscular body came up to him and said in a flattering tone:
"There are thirty-four in total. The kind you mentioned, um... depleted uranium bombs have been produced. Do you want to see them?"
Lei Luo nodded: "Bring it over."
This old man's name is Kawa Ikki, and he is the general manager of this entire steel equipment manufacturing factory. He is proficient in various steel smelting techniques. Lei Luo met him ten days ago through Kawano Ryo.
After some exchanges, Lei Luo judged that there was something in Kawa Ikki, so he handed over the hundreds of kilograms of uranium ore stored in the seal scroll, as well as the design drawings he had drawn before traveling through time, and gave him instructions:
First, the uranium ore is initially refined through hydrometallurgy, and then further condensed and concentrated through electrolysis. Finally, according to the structure on the design drawing, the finished product is forged into the corresponding cannonball shape and returned to itself.
The technology Lei Luo mentioned includes a large number of molecular formulas and chemical formulas. Kawakki has been involved in some of them in his daily life, and some of them have never been heard of.
However, after Lei Luo explained the more specific operation methods in detail, as well as the various stages of reactions and color changes produced by uranium ore during each step, Kawaichi Hui, an old technician, still generally did the work
understood.
Speaking of which, Lei Luo should really be lucky: things like chemical symbols and equations may be because the Naruto anime is based on reality, so the knowledge about this area is common between the two worlds.
According to Kawa Ikki, these strange words, like ghostly symbols, were transmitted from the other side of the sea, and the scientific development of the Ninja Continent was deeply affected by them.
Through the various daily necessities that he noticed in his daily life, Lei Luo judged that the technological development of today's ninja world, except for the military field, has generally reached the level of around the First World War in his previous life. This is why he is willing to outsource the work of purifying uranium ore.
reason.
Although I don’t think Kawakki can create highly enriched uranium metal, let alone directly separate nuclear fuel such as uranium 235, Lei Luo thought:
With a simple set of purification and processing procedures, it should be almost possible to produce something similar to depleted uranium bombs.
After all, depleted uranium bombs only require uranium 238, and more than 99% of uranium atoms in nature are uranium 238 atoms. Regardless of whether Kawakki understands the inner meaning, he only needs to operate mindlessly according to his requirements.
That’s it.
After finishing his thoughts, when Lei Luo came back to his senses, Kawa Yihui turned around somewhere and walked towards Lei Luo carrying two large, seemingly heavy boxes in both hands.
