Chapter 332 Ground Effect Vehicle: No Science, Just Ninjutsu!
Ten minutes later!
A group of senior officials from the castle tower came to the dock.

This is a very large offshore dock.

A huge gate blocks the sea water. To launch a ship, all you have to do is open the gate and let the sea water in.

Although the 'science' of the ninja world is not good, the 'nin studies' are extremely advanced, so it is not surprising to see a scene that is completely different from before the time travel.

There were people busy on several slipways.

Thanks to the large number of shipbuilders recruited from the Land of Water and other places, the castle tower's shipbuilding capabilities are extremely outstanding.

Coupled with special management and benefits, both efficiency and research are extremely outstanding.

Of course, the most important thing is to annex the craftsmen of the Sky Ninja Village, which has enabled them to make a leap forward in their construction capabilities.

If we only consider the number of ships produced, there may not be too many castle towers.

But in terms of production tonnage, they completely crush all shipyards, and now most of the ships are manufactured by themselves.

In particular, the "ironclad ship" technology is unique to them.

Although other shipyards are also researching this technology, after all, the benefits of the Fiery Sun Fleet of the Castle Tower are obvious to everyone. If they can't research it, can't they copy it?

However, even if you want to copy, it is not that easy.

From wooden ships to ironclad ships, there are still a lot of technical issues that need to be addressed, and at the same time, a huge problem needs to be solved.

Steel!

Even if the technical problem can be solved, there is no way to solve the steel problem.

It’s not that there is no steel in the ninja world, but the quantity... and backward productivity make the steel output extremely shocking.

Not shockingly high, but shockingly low.

Most places produce products in small workshops, and as for factories, there may only be a few in the Land of Thunder.

For example, the Land of Fire, although it is the most prosperous place in the ninja world, it is still a question whether its steel production can reach tens of thousands of tons a year.

It is not surprising that the Fire Nation, with a population of hundreds of millions, has only this much output.

Because except for some prosperous cities, ordinary small villages don't even have things like steel.

Therefore, ironclad ship technology is unique to the castle tower.

Even the Fire Nation coveted them, but they did not act recklessly because they were afraid of their strength.

Today, Dohei brought a group of high-ranking officials from the castle tower to see an ironclad ship, but it was not an ordinary ironclad ship.

"Sir, the Fiery Sun you designed has been completely completed, and today is the day to test it!"

A Chunin who was originally a Sora Ninja reported loudly.

The Fiery Sun!
It was after Tang Ping discussed with the shipbuilders and used some high-tech ideas of his own to build this "experimental ship" with a huge amount of manpower and resources.

Several ships had been built before, but all failed. This is the first successful one.

If it were before the time travel, a 20,000-ton ship would definitely take a lot of time, not to mention an experimental ship.

But in the ninja world where chakra exists, it is really not difficult to build quickly as long as you are willing to invest.

Just use ninja or chakra stack!

It is precisely this speed that enabled us to quickly digest the cutting-edge technology that Tang Ping had brought out and create the Fiery Sun.

Judging from the tonnage, the 20,000-ton Fiery Sun is not much larger than the aircraft carriers previously captured.

But the appearance has changed drastically.

Not only is it more refined and sci-fi, it also has a large number of runes.

And these patterns are engraved with special materials.

Chakra metal!
Therefore, this Fiery Sun is naturally not an ordinary aircraft carrier.

"let's start!"

Tang Ping gave the order.

The senior executives around him did not seem to urge him to do so.

Obviously, they all knew that the Fiery Sun was what was to be displayed this time, so they naturally didn't mind taking some time to slowly "appreciate" it.

"Tsk, it's just an iron shell!"

Ye Cang snorted.

Even if one is planted with the Heaven's Curse, it does not mean that one will submit instantly. It can only slowly affect the subconscious mind over time.

This is also the difference between the curse seal and the other gods.

Therefore, no matter how shocking the appearance of the Fiery Sun was, she would only belittle it.

After seeing every aspect of the castle tower, the only thing left on her body was her tough words.

Everyone found her stubbornness a little funny, but they didn't say much because they also wanted to know what was so special about the Fiery Sun.

Wow!

After the lock was opened, countless seawater poured into the dock, soaking the strange-looking metal warship in water. (There are no letters or red stars on the wings)

On the flat metal warship, the crew members were naturally already in position, and the Fiery Sun was started at this time.

hum!
A huge roar sounded.

The jets provide the propulsion for this huge ship.

Whizzing!

Tang Ping and his companions jumped onto the Fiery Sun.

The metal deck is clean and tidy, and is also several times wider than the deck of an ordinary warship.

The Fiery Sun slowly left the dock.

"accelerate!"

The captain ninja gave the order.

Wow!

As the roar suddenly grew louder, the speed of the Fiery Sun continued to increase.

The huge gale suddenly blew away the seawater under the ship, and also gave the warship itself a lift, making its draft increasingly shallow.

Finally, this huge 20,000-ton metal warship actually took off from the water and flew rapidly at a height of several meters above the sea surface, with its speed increasing.

flight!

However, it was not the original aerial fortress flight mode of the air ninjas, but a flight mode created by Dou Ping based on the simple "ground effect" principle.

There is no science, it’s all about endurance!
Of course, if you could weigh it at this time, you would find something extremely strange.

The metal hull that originally weighed about 20,000 tons may now be only a few thousand tons. Coupled with the principle of ground effect flight, the 20,000-ton hull can fly so high and so fast.

This is naturally due to the technology obtained from the sky fortress.

The complete technology can directly allow a fortress the size of a city to float in the air.

Now this technology, which has been simplified to an unknown extent, can only reduce weight.

But the advantage is that the layout is simple and the consumption is not high.

Otherwise, it would take the Sky Ninjas decades and countless manpower to build an aerial fortress, so it is impossible for him to spend that much time doing it.

Weight loss barrier!

This is the name of this technology.

After being activated by chakra, it directly reduces the weight of the ship to a fraction.

This ability is meaningless if the ninja is fighting.

But when used in transportation, it can be called a "revolutionary" technological achievement.

Just like the Fiery Sun, it can carry tens of thousands of tons of heavy objects and fly.

It's not scientific at all, but it's interesting to learn.

Please note that ground effect flight does not necessarily have to take place on the sea surface, but the sea surface is extremely flat, which is the most suitable for ground effect flight.

If the land is a flat area, you can still fly.

Anyone who understands how terrifying it is to be able to carry tens of thousands of tons of cargo and fly at a speed of several hundred kilometers per hour.

In this ninja world where horse-drawn carriages can only carry less than a few tons and travel at speeds of dozens of kilometers per hour, the presence of a monster like the Fiery Sun is indeed a super revolution for transportation.

In addition to the weight-reducing barrier technology, another technology is the core of the Fiery Sun.

power!

Both the weight-reducing barrier and ground-effect flight require huge amounts of chakra to drive them.

Little zero tail!
As the name suggests, it is a completely weakened version of Zero Tail.

The main materials for making it are Fuso tree + White Zetsu + fragments of the sacred tree. It is not as bloody and cruel as before, and it is not troublesome either.

The power and reserve are naturally far inferior to the original version, even less than one percent.

If the original version could support a city floating in the air, now this small tail could only support ships of up to 100,000 tons.

But the manufacturing difficulty will of course also decrease exponentially.

Moreover, this small Zero Tail does not have the ability to "absorb dark emotions", but only has the effect of "converting dark emotions into chakra" for storage and output.

There are only so many functions, and it was intentional by Tang Ping.

He used the original version of Zero Tail to collect the dark emotions from the River Country, and then compressed it into a solid 'black stick' and fed it to the small Zero Tail, so that the small Zero Tail could input chakra steadily, converted into wind jutsu and blown out from the jet nozzle to gain power.

The principle sounds easy, but it is not easy to do.

One black stick is enough to keep the Fiery Sun sailing for half a year. The effect is simply explosive.
