Red Dust

"The difference is huge..."

Miss Sha Ye smiled proudly,

"The kind of computers big and small built with transistors or electron tubes are too sophisticated, and they are tools for ordinary people who don't know how to ninjutsu. Ninjas are different..."

Next, Miss Sa Ye, in a way that Temari could barely understand, described the real role of the "difference engine" in front of her.

Generally speaking, the more precise the instrument, the less stable it is and the easier it is to be damaged.

For ninjas with strong individual strength and extraordinary abilities, that thing is still very convenient as a data storage and calculation aid in the laboratory.

However, the core strength of a ninja lies in the chakra.

Abandoning extraordinary factors and using pure technological creations, for ninjas, it is still a little bit meaningless.

For mortals, that small microcomputer can make up for a lot of their shortcomings.

But for ninjas, it is this kind of "mechanical computer", which is stupid and bulky, can withstand toss, is not easily damaged, and can leave room for extraordinary power.

such as……

"The development of ninjutsu in the village for decades is inseparable from the one-tailed crane, the magnetic escape, and the puppet technique, but in fact, there is a thread running through it, that is, the use of natural energy!"

"In the past, our thinking was to either create more powerful puppets that could even use natural energy, or, like Daimaru, use the puppet technique and the boundary of blood as a springboard to cultivate the immortal mode. The trump card for the enemy to perish together."

"Just like the 'righteous man's puppet', the fusion of the puppet is just an appearance, and it is essentially a pile of elements to achieve the degree of accommodating natural energy; other, such as human puppet art, are similar considerations, but no one has succeeded, only Daimaru Stepping on the shoulders of the predecessors, I cultivated the immortal mode, and then fed back the pre-secret technique to perfect it..."

After talking a lot in one breath, after a pause, Miss Sha Ye finally let Temari find a chance to speak:

"To put it simply, this 'difference engine' can make up for your shortcomings in the field of puppet arts in the past?"

"Generally correct, but incomplete..."

Miss Sha Ye said vaguely,

"No matter what kind of thinking, to absorb natural energy, you must consider the aptitude and strength of the caster. The universality is too poor! Only Daimaru succeeded in six or seventy years, and the next lucky one will appear. I don't know what Time! So, let’s find another way, put aside the Immortal mode for the time being, and don’t even think about creating a ‘Immortal Puppet’ that even apprentices can use! No matter how magical natural energy is, in general, it is also a kind of energy... At least it can be used as energy ,that's enough!"

As long as the society develops to a certain level, political entities will realize that how much energy they can occupy will largely determine the strength of a force.

Using natural energy to achieve immortal mode and practicing secret techniques is really difficult, but it is much simpler to use it directly as a power source.

For example, coal, because of the difference in composition, forms various types with different uses. Instead of laborious sorting, it is made into various secondary industrial products with coal chemical technology, and it is poured into the boiler for combustion. The easiest way to use it.

It is enough to dump the cinders afterwards.

Just like the question that Miss Sha Ye mentioned now, the threshold for efficient utilization of natural energy is too high, but converting it into a power source reduces the difficulty a lot.

Of course, natural energy is not natural gas, oil and coal. If you want to make good use of it, you must also have a certain foundation.

"You mean, your 'difference engine' can utilize natural energy?"

Miss Sha Ye waved her hand. If you explain more, it will be difficult for her to understand. It is better to be direct:

"This is a regulator that uses a complex algorithm to collect violent and untamable natural energy into a smooth output. The energy furnace over there is the collection device..."

The so-called "difference engine" actually functions as a transformer and a voltage regulator. What is missing now is the external load, and the actual operation experiment is needed.

"In the entire Shayin Village, almost all the powerless groups are under your command. I need you to deploy a group of members to accept the experimental conditions. It will not affect your completion of the task, but will bring a lot of help..."

"for example?"

After hearing this, Miss Sha Ye smiled slightly and took out a half-human-high rifle-like weapon.

"Multifunctional magnetic ejection gun, the current output energy is not strong enough, but it should be very suitable for your current task..."

It is not very practical to deal with ninjas. Ordinary adults, if they miss the key points, they can only be beaten with minor injuries, but killing mice and hares is enough. It is undoubtedly much more convenient than throwing kunai and shuriken.

I took over the strange weapon and weighed it. The weight was not light. As a trial work, it was a little bulky.

"Does this thing work?"

There are hot weapons in the ninja world, from heavy artillery to portable pistols. Although they are expensive, they are also used by powerful forces.

Miss Sha Ye replied:

"Making it into a weapon is just convenient for testing, the real use, I'm sorry for the inconvenience to disclose..."

Chapter 1157 Experiment

Temari, who tried to aim with the odd-shaped firearm in his hand, tapped the position of the barrel, a row of circular metal cylinders.

"I've seen shotguns and cannons. Isn't there something wrong with the shape of your catapult gun?"

Instinctively aware of the problem, but with his own knowledge reserve, Temari still can't understand what is special about this thing,

"There's no danger, is it?"

Miss Sha Ye answered patiently:

"This kind of firearm is much safer than traditional gunpowder weapons, and its stability is better than that of explosive charms..."

"Really!"

The doubts in his heart have not been completely dispelled, Temari raised his hand, pulled the trigger on the target not far from the muzzle, and heard a strange whistling sound suddenly remembered by the barrel of the gun, which became more and more sharp, and transmitted to the grip. The reaction force of the gun stock increased rapidly.

Immediately afterwards, a peculiarly shaped steel rod popped out of the chamber and smashed the target into pieces.

"This kind of power, you say there is no danger?"

He retracted the muzzle and checked it. It seemed that there was no smell of gunpowder smoke at all. Temari touched the barrel of the gun strangely, and there was no sign of heat. It was indeed different from traditional firearms.

"Without precautions, it is possible to break the bones..."

"If you shoot at humans at close range, of course, it's another matter. The range of this thing is not suitable for complex scenes in large-scale actual combat, which is a big toy..."

Temari didn't agree with Miss Sha Ye's words, and could not help but retort:

"Toys? Those puppet toys sold in the workshop are not as powerful as you!"

"That's the standard of ordinary people. Our ninja's ability to bear is much stronger! This one in your hand has been charged in advance. When you actually use it, you need to unblock and activate the chakra, otherwise you will not be able to use it at all... "

They don't know how to refine chakra, and their control ability is not up to standard. For them, this special firearm is not as powerful as a mace in actual combat.

"You're right!"

Temari mumbled a few words, and then he thought of something, and asked,

"Is that feeling just now a magnetic escape? It's a bit similar to Kankuro manipulating a puppet to cast Shiyu with sand and iron..."

"The effect is similar, but... a little bit different!"

It's too troublesome to explain, Miss Sha Ye didn't bother to waste her lips and said perfunctorily,

"Even if it's a weapon, the power of this 'big toy' is too small. It's barely enough to clear the mice and hares..."

Miss Sha Ye, who was talking, disassembled the magazine from the lower end of the firearm, and took out a bullet that was about the thickness of a little finger, with a sharp front end and a few wing-like protrusions at the back end. At first glance, it looked like an enlarged nail.

"The range and rate of fire are not good. The energy consumption is too high. It's okay to use it in the Garrison Department. The real battlefield needs stronger weapons..."

To put it bluntly, this firearm can only be used as "police" equipment for the time being, and it does not reach the "military" level.

The fighting between ninjas is really cruel, and the intensity of the war naturally rises.

"All right!"

No matter how much insider information you know, it won't be of much use, and Temari is no longer in the bottom line.

"Send a batch to the garrison to try it out, the effect is good and then add it..."

"Wise choice!"

Miss Sha Ye breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as it can be used, it can generate demand.

The so-called test is of course true, but Miss Sha Ye also has other purposes.

The so-called scientific research, from cultivating talents, establishing projects, tackling key problems, errata, actual testing, and engineering machines, requires money at every step, and it is still a lot of money.

The development of secret techniques, puppet manufacturing, upgrading, etc. in the ninja world is a bottomless pit.

Miss Sha Ye's family is indeed rich, but Jinshan Yinshan can't stand the net investment for several years without any return.

Even if Miss Sha Ye can continue to push hard, it will inevitably be daunting on the road of burning money with no end in sight.

Just like Daimaru, it is also the first to open up the situation, and then consider the future goals, even selling toys and earning pocket money for children, but also after the balance of payments and the foundation, before expanding aggressively.

So, first use some "leftovers" of the research results to create a trial work, which can not only collect experimental data, but also see some money back, why not do it?

With their own thoughts, Temari and Miss Sa Ye reluctantly reached an agreement.

After the business is finished, it is not good to say goodbye immediately. It seems too impersonal. Although the two have no special friendship, and there are even some conflicts, but on the surface, it is still necessary to maintain a little dignity, and can not let Outsiders see jokes.

Miss Sha Ye absentmindedly led Temari to continue the tour, Temari also pretended to be interested and looked back and forth a few times.

"It looks quite messy. I don't know what your laboratory is studying?"

After a long time, Temari suddenly asked a question, Miss Sha Ye was stunned, and immediately replied:

"The external statement is to develop powerful ninja tools that can be used by more low-level ninjas and even ordinary people..."

"What about the reality?"

Temari asked.

"It goes without saying, of course, the conversion and utilization of natural energy, and the assessment of secondary effects?"

She doesn't seem to understand what the so-called "secondary influence" means. After a pause, Miss Sha Ye continued to explain:

"The magical power of natural energy seems to be inexhaustible, inexhaustible, and ubiquitous. It is the most ideal form of energy, but... is this thing really endless? There is no harm in using it casually. ?"

After some words, Temari was speechless.

After being promoted to Shangnin, the ability to use natural energy seems to be a must for the next level. From completely squeezing the body and spirit to refine chakra, to using the natural energy of the outside world, it is a qualitative leap. The difference between immortals and ordinary ninjas The gap between them is actually bigger than the gap between ordinary ninjas and ordinary people.

One thing is certain, most ninjas, in terms of life form, are not fundamentally different from ordinary people, but immortals are different. To a certain extent, the powerful alienation ability of immortal chakra has fundamentally affected the bottom layer. form.

Immortals can probably be regarded as a subspecies that has not yet been reproductively isolated from humans.

"The immortal chakra has an extremely violent catalytic effect of mutation. Except for the blessing of combat power, it is both a gift and a curse for the ninja. If it goes out of control, it is very likely to become an inhuman monster, even because it can't bear it. Violent mutation and death..."

Similar to petrification, madness, etc., it is already relatively obvious, and there may be more miraculous mutations, but with the knowledge of Daimaru and others, I don't know that.

"That Daimaru..."

Thinking of the first immortal in the history of Shayin Village, Temari couldn't help but worry for a while, Miss Sha Ye said with a chuckle:
