Chapter 731: Artillery

In the northwest corner of the national capital, in the industrial factory area with chimneys and dark clouds, a group of bureaucrats in suits and leather shoes are strolling and walking among them, led by the newly married Prime Minister Mr. Lei Luo, who still has some residual charm on his face, and next to his real wife, Ye Naiyu, who has almost never left an inch recently.

"Orochimaru, Beiliuhu, you have to come here, you are always engaged in biological science and chakra science, it is easy to deviate from the subject, do you know?"

Next to Lei Luo, there was a beige suit jacket on his back, but a white coat was stuffed inside, and he was dressed in a nondescript Orochimaru, and he couldn't help but smile after hearing this, and there was a faint disapproval in his hoarse voice:

"People's energy is limited, and in the area of industrial development, the scientific research department only needs to intervene a little, and I still prefer to enjoy the results here."

Although Beiliuhu was not as obvious as Orochimaru said, his attitude was undoubtedly the same as Orochimaru's, and he said to Lei Luo with sincerity on his face:

"Hokage-sama, 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 enough time to engage in ninjutsu forbidden arts, where do we still have the time to learn high-level physical and chemical knowledge?"

Lei Luo didn't show any anger at Orochimaru's implicit refusal, after all, this was his casual suggestion, whether the two heads of the scientific research department listened or not, in fact, they didn't affect the overall research progress of the Fire Country.

Industrial Park - This kind of factory cluster organization that integrates natural science research, ninjutsu development, product manufacturing, and resource integration, and is joined by many enterprises, can be regarded as a specialty of the Fire Country in recent years.

In addition to the first industrial park built by Lei Luo and built in Konoha after the change, more than a dozen industrial parks have been built in the Land of Fire, the largest of which is the capital city, which is several times larger than the original Konoha one.

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

Generally speaking, the industrial park is a bit like Leiluo's previous life, some comprehensive high-tech development zones that not only do outsourcing orders, but also have certain independent research and development capabilities, which are equivalent to a certain type of trading platform.

It is worth mentioning that in order to raise as much capital as possible for development, the industrial park itself belongs to the joint-stock system, and the largest shareholder is Lei Luo, who occupies more than 50% of the shares and has the absolute right to speak.

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

The two of them were not very interested in industrial development, so Lei Luo didn't bother to continue to mention this topic, beckoned to Chuan Yihui, 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 progressing?"

The current parliamentarian, the president of the industrial park, Chuan Yihui, almost didn't think about it after hearing this, and replied directly:

"Mr. Prime Minister, I was about to mention this to you, the first batch of artillery has passed the test, and the range is about 4 to 5 kilometers."

"The shells used are all large detonator shells produced by your Heavenly Manufacturing Company, which can ensure that the explosion range reaches a radius of more than thirty meters."

Artillery, this weapon is an arms product developed by Lei Luo Ling's Industrial Park, and the purpose is naturally to increase the military strength of the Fire Country.

However, unlike in previous lives, the cannon of the Fire Nation does not have a source of energy, but a chakra as an energy source, which is converted into a powerful propulsion to shoot cannonballs through certain devices, which is only for ninjas.

When ordinary people get it in their hands, it is equivalent to scrap metal.

As for gunpowder, although Lei Luo said that he knew how to make it and understood some of the principles, he neither drove his scientific researchers to study it, nor did he mean to spread it out in an all-round way, as for the reason, it was very simple:

The social status of ninjas needs to be maintained, ordinary people should not get too involved in the war, no matter how much they enhance the strength of the country, but the position they should have, the class they are in, Lei Luo is still very clear.

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

If you want to study weapons, you can, but you must be connected with the ninja chakra system, this is the principle, and it is also a rule, Lei Luo, as a ninja, naturally will not do anything to cocoon himself.

After all, if ordinary people suddenly find 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 aspire to become a ninja, and who else will pay for the third-generation chakra reagent?

Even if you take a step back, the ninjas have an AK47 in their hands and suddenly break through the enemy when they meet, then who else is willing to sink down and cultivate? Konoha, the country of fire, what shadow-level masters can be born in the future, or even national-level high-end combat power?

Although modern weapons are very powerful and can increase the military power of the Fire Nation by exponential times, Lei Luo still thinks about the development of this area several times, and every step can be said to be like thin ice.

Increasing the power of weapons without brains will undoubtedly provoke class contradictions between ordinary people and ninjas, so all the modern weapons developed by Lei Luo are basically of the type that only ninjas can use.

Even if it's a detonator bomb, it needs to be sealed, and it needs a chakra to activate the detonation, let alone a higher-level artillery, a large detonator cannonball?

In fact, if it weren't for the needs of the war, considering that the number of ninjas in the Fire Nation had increased, the overall combat power was low, and the large corps needed all kinds of long-range fire support when they were engaged, Lei Luo was reluctant to come up with something like artillery that would change the shape of war.

Therefore, artillery is not for sale, it is distributed to the troops only in times of war, and in peacetime, it is impossible for such a thing to appear in the market.

"Lei Luo, what is artillery?"

Ye Naiyu listened to the exchange between Lei Luo and Chuan Yihui, his curiosity suddenly rose, and after the two of them spoke, he couldn't help but ask Lei Luo.

"Wait and you'll know......"

As soon as he finished speaking, he happened to walk near a factory, and looked at several large stick-like objects two meters long, twenty or thirty centimeters wide, placed diagonally upwards in the open space in front of him, Lei Luo's eyes couldn't help but light up, he took a few steps forward, reached out and stroked the cold cannon barrel printed with green paint, and turned back to Ye Naiyu and said:

"That's it, that's artillery."

The characteristic artillery of the ninja world, just from the appearance, is similar to some mountain guns in the First World War period of Lei Luo's previous life, the volume is not large, counting the barrel, bracket, bottom wheel, the overall weight is only about two hundred kilograms, which is very convenient for field troops to use.

For ninjas who pursue mobile combat, it doesn't take much effort to transfer them if they are used with the Seal Scroll, and in Lei Luo's opinion, with these little guys, most ninja troops will initially have the ability to attack enemies beyond visual range, as well as cover a large area of firepower network.
