Ninja at the top of the food chain

Chapter 724 Artillery
In the northwest corner of the capital, there are many chimneys, and in the dark cloud-covered industrial factory area, a group of bureaucrats in suits and leather shoes are walking among them. The leader is Mr. Lei Luo, the Prime Minister who still has a certain aftertaste on his face after the wedding. Sticking close to his real wife, Nonoyu, who has been almost inseparable for a while now.

"Oshemaru, Beiliuhu, you should come here more often. You always do biology science and chakra science, so it's easy to be biased?"

Next to Lei Luo, there was a beige suit jacket on the back, but a white coat was stuffed inside. Orochimaru, who was dressed up nondescriptly, couldn't help laughing after hearing the words, with a hint of disapproval in his hoarse voice:

"Human energy is limited. In terms of industrial development, the scientific research department only needs to intervene a little bit. I still prefer to enjoy the results here."

Although Beiliuhu was not as obvious as Dashewan said, his attitude was undoubtedly the same as Dashewan, and he said to Lei Luo sincerely:
"Master Naruto, I don't deny that various emerging industrial products have indeed provided great help to our research work, but you also know that it takes time to do ninjutsu and forbidden techniques, so we have no time to do it. Learn high-level physical and chemical knowledge?"

Regarding Dashewan and Beiliuhu's implicit rejection, Lei Luo did not show any anger. After all, it was just his casual suggestion. 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 joined by many companies, can be regarded as a special product of the Land of Fire in recent years.

In addition to the first industrial park built in Konoha, which was first defined by Lei Luo, after the reform, more than a dozen industrial parks have been built in the Land of Fire, the largest of which is the one in the capital city. Konoha's house is several times bigger.

The existence of these industrial parks can not only provide a solid material foundation for the various efficient constructions of the Land of Fire, but also provide a large number of jobs for the public and reduce the cost of opening factories for various private companies.

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 shareholding system, and the largest shareholder is Lei Luo, who holds more than 50.00% of the shares and has an absolute right to speak.

"Forget it, let's not talk about that."

Orochimaru and the two were not very interested in industrial development, so Lei Luo didn't bother to continue to bring up this topic. He waved to Chuan Yihui who followed behind him, 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 incumbent member, Chuan Yihui, the president of the industrial park, hardly thought about it after hearing the words, and replied directly:
"Mr. Prime Minister, I am about to mention this to you. The first batch of artillery has passed the experiment, and the range is about 4 to 5 kilometers."

"The shells used are all large detonating rune shells produced by your Heavenly Manufacturing Company, which can guarantee an explosion radius of more than 30 meters."

Artillery, this weapon is a munitions product developed by Lei Luoling Industrial Park. The purpose is naturally to improve the military strength of the country of fire.

But different from the previous life, the energy source of the fire country's artillery is not gunpowder. Its power engine is powered by chakra, which is converted into a strong driving force by certain devices to shoot out the cannonball, which is only used by ninjas.

Ordinary people hold it in their hands, it is equivalent to scrap iron.

As for gunpowder, although Lei Luo knew how to make it and understood some of its principles, he neither urged his researchers to study it, nor did he intend to fully spread it. As for the reason, it is very simple:
The social status of ninjas needs to be maintained. Ordinary people should not get involved in wars too much. No matter how much the power of the country is strengthened, Lei Luo is still very clear about the position he should have and the class he belongs to.

In the same way, although Lei Luo has the ability to get a series of modern weapons such as guns and grenades, he just doesn't get them, and he even forbids others to get them.

It is possible to study weapons, but it must be connected with the ninja chakra system. This is a principle and a rule. As a ninja, Lei Luo will naturally not do anything that binds himself.

After all, if ordinary people suddenly discover that the weapons on the market can be used by ordinary people, and the speed and power can kill ordinary ninjas in seconds, then who else will yearn to become a ninja, and who else will spend money to buy the third-generation chakra reagent ?
Even if we take a step back and say that the ninjas have an AK47 in their hands, they will stun the enemy when they meet, so who else is willing to settle down to practice?Konoha, the Land of Fire, what kind of kage-level masters will be born in the future, even high-end combat power against the country?

Although modern weapons are very powerful and can exponentially increase the military power of the Fire Nation, Lei Luo still carefully considers the development of this area, and every step can be said to be as thin as 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 symbol bomb, it needs to be sealed, and it needs chakra to activate and detonate, let alone a higher-level artillery, what about the large detonating symbol shell?
In fact, if it is not necessary for the war, considering the increase in the number of ninjas in the Nation of Fire, the overall combat power is relatively low, and the large corps need all kinds of long-range fire support when fighting, Lei Luo is not willing to come up with artillery - to change the war shape thing.

Therefore, artillery is not for sale and will only be allocated to troops during wartime. In peacetime, it is impossible for such a thing to appear in the market.

"Lei Luo, what is a cannon?"

When Nonaiyu heard the exchange between Lei Luo and Chuan Yihui, his curiosity suddenly arose, and after the two of them had finished talking, he couldn't help asking Lei Luo.

"Wait until you find out..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he happened to walk near a factory area, and when he saw several large stick-shaped objects piled up on the open space in front of him, which were two meters long and twenty to thirty centimeters wide, placed obliquely, Lei Luo couldn't help but his eyes lit up, and he walked quickly. Taking a few steps forward, he reached out and stroked the cold gun barrel printed with green paint, then turned his head and said to Nonaiyu:

"This is it, this is the artillery."

The characteristic artillery of the Ninja World, just from the appearance, is similar to some mountain cannons in 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 [-] kilograms, which is very It is convenient for field troops to use.

For ninjas pursuing mobile combat, if they are used together with the seal scrolls, it will not take much effort to transfer them. In Lei Luo's view, with these little guys, most ninja troops will have a preliminary ability-beyond visual range strike The enemy, and the ability to cover a large area with a firepower net.
