Chapter Seventy-Eight: Ninjas and Thermal Weapons Continued
Seeing Lin Daoyuan's puzzled face, his father Lin Heye smiled and said: "What other conditions can it be, of course, the conditions for the large-scale legion of thermal weapons are not met!" ”
"I'll it! Of course, young master, I know that the conditions for large-scale legion are not met! Lin Daoyuan was very dissatisfied with his father's words about selling off the wonderful place. Immediately protested: "I'm asking what conditions are lacking!" Father, you're such an adult, and you're deliberately selling cute. I'll tell you! Don't think that if you're my dad, I can't cure you! ”
"Oh~!" Hearing that his son was talking ruthlessly to himself, Lin Heye stared at Lin Daoyuan with an interested look of "I'll just watch", and said quite funny: "Then I'll just stand here and see what means you have!" ”
Lin Daoyuan smiled at his father thief, and then turned his head to Gu Qingzi, who was passing by with a laundry tub in the corridor behind Lin Heye. Shouted, "Mother! Father, he bullied me! As he spoke, he ran towards his mother, and then hugged his mother's waist. Behind her, she made a naughty face at her father Hayashi Kazuno!
I'll go! Lin Heye looked at Lin Daoyuan's shameless behavior by taking advantage of his age in astonishment, and a group of grass and mud horses ran past in his heart! Although we don't know what Father Lin was thinking in his heart, I think his heart should have collapsed at that time.
This can be seen from Lin Heye's red ears and the vicious eyes staring at Lin Daoyuan now. Looking at his father's embarrassed appearance now, how can he still have the demeanor of a man who shot down the bullet just now! The contrast between the front and back was too great, which immediately caused Lin Daoyuan to laugh. Lin Daoyuan held a mirror from nowhere to face his father's embarrassed face, and laughed with the other hand: "Haha~hahaha~!" ”
After glaring at Lin Daoyuan, he looked at himself in the mirror. Lin Heye also laughed out loud himself.
After the two of them recovered emotionally, Lin Heye glared at Lin Daoyuan, who was still secretly smiling, and said, "Still laughing!" Do you want to continue listening? ”
Hearing that his father was going to talk about business, Lin Daoyuan hurriedly straightened his face. Listen intently to my father's speech.
Lin Heye said: "The reason why there is no way to turn thermal weapons into large-scale legions is because the parts of thermal weapons such as guns are relatively precise, and if you want to manufacture them on a large scale, the production conditions cannot be met. If nothing else, the forging of steel alone is a big problem. The shells of the bullets are all made of metal, and it is difficult for ordinary craftsmen to make qualified bullets. And when a battle starts, the amount of ammunition consumed alone will be a lot of money! ”
Hearing this, Lin Daoyuan figured it out! After all, it's the tech tree in the world of Naruto that has a problem! I don't know if it's because of the chakra or what, anyway, there hasn't been an industrial revolution in the Hokage world so far! Without the Industrial Revolution, there would have been no steam engine, and without the steam engine there would have been no emancipation of labor. Without the liberation of labor, people will have to work hard to make a living. The foundation of the whole world is still to rely on the merits of farming, breeding, animal husbandry and other industries to raise the people of the whole world!
Since ordinary people are still working hard to support their families for the pressure of life, food, clothing, housing and transportation. So after all the energy is spent on this, how much leisure is there to engage in invention and creation?
However, there is electricity in the Hokage world! It's also something that makes us feel weird. Obviously, he didn't invent the steam engine, and he didn't experience the baptism of the "steam age", but he would have used electricity directly! Think about how much damage we do to the environment when we use steam? But in the Hokage, especially in the territory of the Fire Country. Trees more than ten meters tall are everywhere! There is no air pollution, the environment is good, and there are all kinds of wildlife, which is a great place for tourism!
In fact, this strange feeling is only for those of us who have gradually developed from the "Age of Steam" to the "Age of Electricity" that the history of the Hokage's civilization is very unscientific, because their civilization is different from our world. But for the people of the Hokage world, they are living a normal life!
In the process of social development, production practice plays a decisive role in the existence and development of society. Where there is demand, there is motivation. In order to solve the problem of falling into darkness at night, people in ancient times began to use firelight for lighting. Later, various combustible substances were discovered.
And in the Hokage world, there is the existence of chakra. The ninjas have never given up on the source of their power, and they have discovered many mysteries through their research. At the same time, many strange phenomena were discovered unexpectedly.
How did chakra come about? After research, it turned out to be a combination of body and spirit. Deepening his research on the body, he gradually discovered that the human body is composed of different organs through dissection and other means. Since the human body is made up of various organs and other small structures, is it also true of these organs or something? Then, through in-depth research, the optical microscope was invented. The cell was discovered!
In the same way, the existence of electricity is the same, and it may be that some kind of demand has been studied. Maybe it was directly because of the study of the thunder attribute chakra that electricity was discovered? In order to study in detail what the specific manifestations of the thunder attribute chakra are when applied to the human body. Simulation experiments, anatomical studies, etc. are carried out from animals first. So maybe you discovered the role of "electricity"? Or is it because of the magnetic escape? You might have discovered the electromagnetic induction effect right away!
Therefore, it is not so difficult to accept that Naruto World has not experienced industrialization but has the existence of electricity! No world can have exactly the same trajectory. The environment of each world is different, and naturally there will be different perceptions of society and nature. That's science!
In the Hokage, there is no large-scale industrial base, no mechanized assembly line, etc. Think about how hard it is to make the parts needed for all kinds of thermal weapons by hand from the steel that has been smelted. And not just one, but thousands! Even if the principle of assembly line is used to produce production, it is a very difficult task.
Therefore, for the fact that hot weapons are not mainstream in the Hokage world today, Lin Daoyuan can express his understanding! Perhaps, when people become more in-depth in the use of electricity, they think of various devices that can save time and effort. At that time, the situation will change again!
When the time comes, when thermal weapons can be mass-produced, where will ninjas go?
After seeing Lin Daoyuan come back to his senses from his bowed head and pondering, his father said to him, "Look at your appearance, I figured it out." For now, it's impossible for thermal weapons to replace the ninja legions at the bottom. ”
Then, his father Lin Heye smiled at Lin Daoyuan again: "Or, no matter what era, as long as there is a chakra, there must be a place for ninjas!" ”
"Ninja is a profession that uses chakra to fight." Lin Heye emphasized: "With chakra, you can do many incredible things in the eyes of ordinary people. In general, it can go to heaven and earth, and can do anything. In a small way, ninjas can gain more strength and speed than ordinary people by using chakra. This is a physical advantage. When attaching chakra to kunaisupreme, it can easily break through trees, etc. ”
Speaking of this, his father Lin Heye smiled mysteriously at Lin Daoyuan. Then he explained, "If you can attach chakra to kunai to make the weapon more powerful, why can't you attach chakra to bullets?" Bullets with chakra attached will be faster, more penetrating, and more powerful! ”
Lin Daoyuan listened to his father's words, and he really didn't know how to say it. It's just right to talk about what happens to ninjas with the presence of thermal weapons. What's the point of getting all the ninjas to use thermal weapons? Hm. But it's true. If a ninja fights with a hot weapon, it's scary to think about!
Hayashi Kazuno went on to illustrate the function of chakra: "The wind-based chakra can make the bullet more penetrating and faster. The fire chakra can inflict burst damage on bullets. Thunder chakras can inflict paralysis. Water-based chakras deal bleeding damage. Fragmentation of parts of the chakra energy mission of soil attributes, shrapnel flowering, etc."
Then, he said, "No one says that ninjas must use cold weapons to fight. Ninjas exist to complete missions, to kill. Any weapon that is useful for mission completion can be used. Like what thistles, rope marks, shuriken, detonation charms, etc. These weapons were developed by the ninjas themselves in order to complete the mission. Well, if it's true that a hot weapon is superior in some way to a cold weapon, then the ninja won't refuse to use it either! ”
Looking at Lin Daoyuan's careful listening, Lin Heye continued: "It's important to learn to be flexible! A long way to go, you have to remember this! ”
Six-year-old Lin Daoyuan nodded, and then his father smiled and touched his head in approval. Then he looked at him and said, "Daoyuan, you have been very smart since you were a child, so your father can also tell you about the next thing." ”
Seeing Lin Daoyuan's expression of "what is it, such a mysterious look", Lin Heye smiled gently. Then he said solemnly: "Ninja Village, since it exists as an institution of the country's war machine. In order to survive, then our position in the state cannot be shaken. The guns and thermal weapons that the daimyo secretly developed gave us a big wake-up call. Therefore, in order to maintain the status of ninjas, the major ninja villages have restricted the military research of the daimyo and the aristocracy. ”
Well! Lin Daoyuan looked at his father in shock. For the sake of this matter, the major ninja villages actually put aside their prejudices and directly put pressure on the daimyo and aristocratic classes of various countries!
