In the northwest corner of the capital, in an industrial factory area covered with chimneys and covered with dark clouds, a group of bureaucrats in suits and ties were strolling. The leader was Mr. Lei Luo, the prime minister who still had some lingering charm on his face after his wedding. He was surrounded by
He sticks close to his real wife, Nonoyu, who has been almost inseparable for a while.
"Orochimaru, Beiliu, you guys need to come here more. If you always engage in biological science and chakra science, it's easy to be biased, you know?"
Next to Lei Luo, Orochimaru, who was wearing a beige suit jacket on his back and a white coat tucked inside, was dressed in a nondescript manner. After hearing this, he couldn't help but smile, and there was a hint of disapproval in his hoarse voice:
"Human energy is limited. In terms of industrial development, the scientific research department only needs to be slightly involved. I still prefer to enjoy the results here."
Although Bei Liuhu was not as obvious as Orochimaru said, his attitude was undoubtedly the same as Orochimaru's. He said to Lei Luo with a sincere face:
"Hokage-sama, I don't deny that various emerging industrial products have indeed provided a lot of help to our research work, but you also know that it is time-consuming just to develop forbidden ninjutsu. Where do we have time to do it?"
Learn high-level physical and chemical knowledge?”
Regarding Orochimaru and Beiliu's implicit rejection, Lei Luo did not show any anger. In the final analysis, this was just his casual suggestion. Whether the two directors of the scientific research department listened to it or not, in fact, they did not
It will not affect the overall research progress of the Fire Nation.
Industrial Park - This kind of factory cluster organization that integrates natural science research, ninjutsu development, product manufacturing, and resource integration, and is joined by multiple companies, can be regarded as a specialty of the Fire Country in recent years.
In addition to the first industrial park built in Konoha, which was first conceptualized by Lei Luo, after the reform, more than a dozen industrial parks were built in the Land of Fire, the largest of which is the capital city, which is larger than the original one.
The one in Konoha is several times bigger.
The existence of these industrial parks can not only provide a solid material foundation for various efficient constructions in the Fire Country, but also provide a large number of jobs to the people and reduce the cost of opening factories for various private enterprises.
Generally speaking, the industrial park is a bit like Lei Luo's previous life. It is a comprehensive high-tech development zone that not only handles outsourcing orders but also has certain independent research and development capabilities, which is equivalent to a certain type of trading platform.
It is worth mentioning that in order to raise as much funds as possible for development, the industrial park itself is a joint-stock system, and the largest shareholder is Lei Luo, who holds more than 50% of the shares and has absolute say.
"Forget it, let's not talk about this for now."
Orochimaru and the other two were not very interested in industrial development, so Lei Luo was too lazy to continue mentioning this topic. He waved to Kawa Ikki, who was following behind, and after the old man took a few steps forward, he asked in a low voice:
"How is the development of the artillery going?"
The current congressman and president of the industrial park Kazuki Kawakawa almost didn't think about it after hearing this and answered directly:
"Mr. Prime Minister, I was just about to mention this to you. The first batch of artillery has passed the test, and the range is about 4 to 5 kilometers."
"All the artillery shells used are large detonating talisman shells produced by your Paradise Manufacturing Company, which can ensure that the explosion range reaches a radius of more than thirty meters."
Artillery, this kind of weapon is an arms product developed by Leiluo Industrial Park. The purpose is naturally to improve the military strength of the Country of Fire.
But what is different from the previous life is that the energy source of the Fire Country's artillery is not gunpowder. Its power engine uses chakra as energy, which is converted into strong driving force through certain devices to shoot the cannonballs. It is only used by ninjas.
When ordinary people get it in their hands, it is equivalent to scrap metal.
Regarding gunpowder, although Lei Luo can make it and understands some of its principles, he neither drives his scientific researchers to study it nor does he intend to fully roll out this thing. As for the reason, it is very simple:
The social status of ninjas needs to be maintained, and ordinary people should not get too involved in the war. Even if the country's strength is strengthened, Lei Luo still knows his position and his own class very well.
In the same way, although Lei Luo has the ability to get a series of modern weapons such as firearms and grenades, he just doesn't get them, and he also prohibits others from getting them.
You can study weapons, but you must connect with the ninja chakra system. This is a principle and a rule. As a ninja, Lei Luo will naturally not do anything to tie himself up.
After all, if ordinary people suddenly discover that weapons on the market can be used by ordinary people, and their speed and power can kill ordinary ninjas in an instant, then who else will aspire to become a ninja, and who else will spend money to buy third-generation chakra reagents?
?
Even if you take a step back, if the ninjas all have AK47s and can defeat the enemy when they meet, then who else is willing to calm down and practice? Konoha, the Land of Fire, what Kage-level masters will be born in the future, even against the country?
High-end combat power?
Although modern weapons are very powerful and can exponentially increase the military power of the Country of Fire, Lei Luo has still considered this development carefully, and every step can be said to be a step on thin ice.
Brainlessly increasing the power of weapons will undoubtedly arouse class conflicts between ordinary people and ninjas. Therefore, all modern weapons developed by Lei Luo are basically of the type that only ninjas can use.
Even if it is a detonating talisman bomb, it still requires seals and chakra to activate and detonate, let alone a higher-level artillery, what about large detonating talisman shells?
In fact, if it were not for the needs of the war, considering that the number of ninjas in the Country of Fire is increasing, but the overall combat strength is low, and large corps are in need of various long-range fire support when fighting, Lei Luo is not willing to build artillery - changing the war
form thing.
Therefore, artillery is not for sale and will only be distributed to troops during war. In peacetime, it is impossible for such a thing to appear in the market.
"Lei Luo, what is an artillery piece?"
Nonoyu became curious as he listened to the exchange between Lei Luo and Kawa Ikki. After the two of them spoke, he couldn't help but ask Lei Luo.
"You'll find out later..."
Just after he finished speaking, he happened to walk near a factory area. Looking at several large stick-shaped objects two meters long and twenty or thirty centimeters wide, placed diagonally upward in the open space in front of him, Lei Luo couldn't help but his eyes lit up and he walked quickly.
He took a few steps forward, reached out and touched the cold barrel printed with green paint, then turned back to Nonoyu and said:
"This is it, this is the artillery."
The unique artillery of the Ninja World, in terms of appearance, is similar to some mountain cannons from Lei Luo's previous life during World War I. It is not large in size. Including the barrel, bracket, and bottom wheel, the overall weight is only about two hundred kilograms, which is very
Convenient for use by field troops.
For ninjas who pursue mobile combat, it doesn't take much effort to transfer them when used with seal scrolls. In Lei Luo's view, with these little guys, most ninja troops will initially have the ability to strike beyond visual range.
enemies, and the ability to cover a large area with a fire network.
