"The firing range of the first-generation artillery is actually very limited, even if you find the best angle of elevation and there is no wind obstruction, you can only shoot shells for more than four kilometers at most, and the accuracy is also very worrying."

"If you want to improve the range and accuracy, the main difficulties lie in three aspects, one is that the improvement of the sealing technique still needs to increase the number of manpower."

"The second is the material, the current alloy toughness can only withstand this degree of wind force, even if there is a sealing technique."

"Three is ......"

Subconsciously glanced up at Lei Luo, and their eyes briefly met, Uzumaki Koichi frowned and thought for a moment, slowly stood up, and said in an uncertain tone:

"I always feel that simply using wind power to drive artillery fire is either impossible, or it is a bit inefficient, if you use the impact of the explosion......"

"It should be able to do more with less."

Having been engaged in ninjutsu development and scientific research for many years, Koichi Uzumaki, the deputy patriarch of the Uzumaki clan, is now gradually getting closer to a scientific researcher like Orochimaru, which is a good thing in Lei Luo's opinion.

If every high-level member of Konoha can be like Koichi Uzumaki, Orochimaru, and Beiliuhu to let him worry, never engage in any power struggles and political struggles, and use all their wisdom and talents to engage in scientific research, then the development speed of the Fire Country can undoubtedly be accelerated several times.

The above thoughts flashed through his mind, Lei Luo froze, noticed that Uzumaki Koichi was looking at him, and after a deep groan, he responded:

"Explosion ignition? If the research route is changed, how long will it take for the new gun to be produced? ”

Uzumaki Koi secretly counted with his fingers, then shook his head and replied very honestly: "Then you need to adjust the sealing technique, redevelop the fire attribute ninjutsu that matches the artillery, and the material is ......."

"I really can't tell."

I can't say for sure, it means that the research time is estimated to be at least in years, especially the replacement of alloy materials is a long-term project, and the upgrading of artillery depends on the upgrading of materials, and I don't know how long it will take to realize Koichi Uzumaki's idea.

"Forget it, don't focus on retrofitting for now, and then check the artillery for loopholes, and then you can start production."

Quickly giving a conclusion, Lei Luo turned his head and looked at Mamoru Kageyama, the Prime Minister standing next to him, and asked while pointing at the artillery:

"How much budget does the cabinet have now?"

Knowing that the Prime Minister was preparing to mass-produce this new weapon called artillery, Mamoru Kageyama lowered his head and thought for a while, and replied with a slightly hesitant face:

"At present, about 300 million yuan can be taken out, but if this money is all used to produce artillery, the development speed of other aspects may be affected, such as infrastructure, recruitment, and people's livelihood."

Infrastructure is related to the railway network plan, and the recruitment is the national ninja plan, and the people's livelihood seems to be able to be reduced, but if the social welfare security funds are moved, the people of the country of fire will definitely scold their mothers, and it will be unfavorable to the country's military mobilization at that time.

The Land of Fire is now developing everywhere, there are even more people building factories and doing business, and the cabinet seems to be short of money, after all, it takes time to successfully gather wool from the large shares of private investment, and fixed assets are not equal to liquidity.

As for printing a lot of money? If the productivity is insufficient, print money today, wait for inflation tomorrow, and social chaos - others don't understand this truth, but Lei Luo does.

The cost of materials for an artillery piece is about 500,000 taels, and if you add the wages of the sealing talents of the Vortex clan and the wages of the skilled workers, the cost will reach at least 600,000 taels, which is a bit expensive to be honest.

Although he was reluctant to pay for this price, he thought that after the war began, every ninja squad would have a cannon and the ability to destroy the enemy from a distance of several kilometers, Lei Luo finally made up his mind.

Slowly exhaled a long breath and said:

"The cabinet will first take out 200 million yuan and deliver it to the industrial park, Koichi Uzumaki, I will see at least 100 artillery pieces in half a month, can I do it?"

Lei Luo's request was not excessive, Uzumaki Koi nodded at first, quickly calculated the number of cannons that could be built with 200 million, and then replied:

"Don't worry, Hokage-sama, in less than a month, all three hundred and thirty-three cannons will be in place, and I am willing to take out 10 million taels of my clan's funds, plus 1,000 detonation charm shells."

Koichi Uzumaki expressed his attitude in time, and his behavior can be said to be a resolute response to national policy and full support for the general direction of foreign wars, a quality that touched Lei Luo, but he would not let his hard-working subordinates suffer in vain.

"No, the money for the detonator shells comes from my assets in the industrial park, you just need to strictly control it, don't cut corners, and when this batch of orders is completed, I will personally reward you with a bonus of one million taels."

The Uzumaki Clan project team led by Koichi Uzumaki is strictly only responsible for the burning of the sealing technique, but after all, he is the deputy patriarch of Uzumaki, with a high status and a wide range of involvement, so he is responsible for the entire artillery project, from research and development to production.

Hearing Lei Luo's words at this moment, Koichi Uzumaki didn't say anything specifically, just nodded firmly, and replied, "I'll be optimistic about my subordinates, Hokage-sama, please rest assured." ”

The order was negotiated, Lei Luo didn't bother to pay attention to the production matter, it was only a matter of time before the artillery was put into use, he beckoned to everyone at the moment, and took a step and prepared to go elsewhere, intending to see how the other key projects were going.

But at this moment, Mamoru Kageyama suddenly called out to him.

"Mr. Prime Minister, the cabinet now has 100 million taels of liquid funds, this amount is very dangerous for the country, please see if you can mention it to the National Assembly again......"

Cautiously leaning into Lei Luo's ear, Yu Guang glanced at Chuan Yihui not far away, Kageyama Shou didn't finish speaking, but the meaning he could express was very clear, simply put, he wanted money.

Lei Luo also glanced at Chuan Yihui, and saw that the old man was looking at the artillery, chatting with Uzumaki Kodai and a few people, and he didn't look at it, so he replied quickly in a low voice:

"The more than two billion that you gave you half a year ago were spent so quickly? You are a loser prime minister, you are printing money when you are Lao Tzu? Congress...... How much has Congress spent in the past year or so, and if you are not ashamed, I will be ashamed. ”

Half a year ago, the more than 2 billion yuan was obtained by Guanghui from confiscating the various illegal assets of the parliamentarians, and Lei Luo didn't know what Mamoru Kageyama used the money for, but in short, continuing to rob the parliamentarians' money would undoubtedly cause conflicts.

This kind of thing can be done just by Hui doing it, and he Lei Luo "doesn't know where this money comes from at all", but if he ends up in person, will he still have a reputation?

On the other hand, hearing Lei Luo's evaluation of himself, Mamoru Kageyama only felt that his heart was not very comfortable, and the heavens were pitiful, the more than two billion, the amount spent by the cabinet on administration was less than 500 million, and the remaining 1.5 billion was used by Lei Luo to invest in projects.

Like what artillery, detonator bombs, detonator shells, the development of the fourth-generation chakra reagent, the research and development of various ninjutsu, and the industrial development of the blood limit, that is really desperately throwing money into it, where can he be reasonable?
