Chapter 493 Black oil?

On the airship!

Dohei controlled the airship, which was more than ten meters long, and flew slowly towards the castle tower.

The power is the thrust generated by the rotating propeller at the tail.

As for the source of energy, it is Dodaira's specialty.

Chakra core!
It's just an enlarged version.

The speed is really not that good. Even with a tailwind, it's only about 100 kilometers per hour, and against a headwind, it's probably only about 10 kilometers per hour.

The small airship made by Orochimaru naturally had no decorations inside the cabin. It only had a flight rudder and two chairs, which was terribly simple.

However, being able to research and integrate the airship technology and produce a finished product in such a short time is truly amazing.

If it were the world before the time travel, it would take several years from research and development to finished product, and it would also require a large number of people.

But in the ninja world with chakra, is it possible to just read one sentence?

'I wonder...'

As long as you have enough knowledge and chakra, almost anything you want will come true.

If it were Tang Ping, he would be able to do it if he was ruthless enough.

But it will definitely make you vomit blood!

He had no choice before, but now that he has Orochimaru, the chosen one to study the Holy Body, he naturally won't be so hardworking.

The fact that the height of the airship can be adjusted freely is also due to his contribution.

Gravity barrier!

Anti-gravity barrier!
All of these technologies were acquired from the aerial fortress, and the Fiery Sun had already used them, but now they were being used on the airship.

It can be said that some of the technical difficulties of the airship were all overcome by Dohei and Orochimaru using their technology, and they successfully created this kind of transportation or transport that can change the ninja world.

With the airship, even ordinary people can experience the feeling of "traveling a thousand miles a day".

It only took Dohei and his crew less than a few days to return from the Otogakure in the north of the Land of Fire to the castle tower in the southernmost part of the country.

Simply scary!
Although this speed is far slower than that of a Jonin who uses the instant body movement technique regardless of consumption, it is definitely faster than a Chunin or a Genin.

Walk in a straight line and don’t rest!

Adding these two advantages together, even if the Jonin can be faster in a short period of time, he will still be unable to beat the airship in a long period of time. After all, chakra is not infinite.

However, when the airship passed through the Fire Nation, it also caught the attention of some forces.

It didn’t matter in the past, the sky was really not a target for defense.

But it's different now.

The sky is also the target of surveillance by major ninja villages.

However, before Konoha could react, the airship flew directly to the castle tower.

This information also caused excitement among all major forces.

No one is a fool!
Whoever controls the sky controls the ninja world!

This sentence has been put forward by Nara Shikaku, the Konoha military strategist, and has been recognized by all major forces.

The major ninja villages have already focused their research and development efforts on related projects.

Not to mention flying ninja tools, some flying ninjutsu have also been put on the research agenda.

For example, Ohnoki's 'Super Light and Heavy Rock Technique' is forgettable. This is an A-level earth escape technique. Not to mention whether it will be made available for people to learn, the difficulty of learning it alone is a problem.

After all, the higher the level of ninjutsu, the harder it is to learn and the more energy it consumes.

Don't think that A-level ninjutsu is easy to learn just because Hashira and Naruto mastered the Chidori and Rasengan respectively not long after graduation in the original plot.

You should also look at his bloodline!

One is from the wealthy Uchiha family, and the other is a descendant of the Uzumaki clan, not to mention that both of them are the chakra reincarnations of the two sons of the Six Paths Sage.

They are simply the 'celestial dragons' of the ninja world, so it is normal for them to learn A-level ninjutsu.

For an ordinary graduated Genin, learning a C-level ninjutsu can be used as a big move. Even the Twelve Ninjas of Konoha in the plot mostly only mastered C-level ninjutsu.

This shows how difficult it is to learn and use ninjutsu.

Therefore, there is absolutely no possibility that A-level flying ninjutsu will become popular.

Now, all ninja villages are developing some secret techniques that can allow people to fly.

It was at this time that a target was targeted.

However, before they could make a move, they found a better prey, the airship, so they had no choice but to gather intelligence first. The castle tower and the top of the Lieyang Building!

Dou Ping jumped off the airship with Hinata Cangyue.

"Is this the airship?"

Uchiha Mei, who came to greet them, looked at the airship in front of her with an airbag on top and a pod underneath, and her tone was a little curious.

Because she knew what kind of changes the emergence of this thing would bring to the ninja world.

Although the Fiery Sun is more magical, it is their trump card and naturally they cannot use it, so the news has been blocked.

Even the ghost country that runs the "Belt and Road" initiative is trying every means to clear the venue.

Since that place is located on the edge of the ninja world, the major ninja villages will naturally not waste their energy there, so the information about the Fiery Sun is still unknown.

But airships are different.

This is the technology that Tang Ping is going to use.

The reason is the same as explained before. Only by changing to a new track can the castle tower have an advantage.

Otherwise, the caravan in the castle tower would have no chance of establishing a transport team, as horses, vehicles, trade routes, etc. are all monopolized by the major chambers of commerce, leaving them no chance at all.

Like the United Fruit Chamber of Commerce, there are now many ships on the sea, but very few land transportation tools. The key is that they are stuck everywhere, which greatly affects their development.

So, Tang Ping directly overturned the table.

Revolutionize transportation!

Instead of playing with the carriage, just play with the airship.

Compared with airships, the efficiency of horse-drawn carriage transportation is rubbish.

Although it is easy to imitate a low-end version because the technical content is not too exaggerated, it can at least give the castle tower an advantage in this field.

Uchiha Mei had already witnessed this kind of thing once in the flying unit, so she was so concerned about this airship.

Even the supporting facilities have been built and materials have been purchased in large quantities, just waiting for production.

The good news is that airships are much easier to produce than ironclad ships.

But it is not without difficulties.

The gas refining technology that Orochimaru developed for them required a raw material.

Black oil!

Something that is produced on the border between the Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Fire.

Well, it can be seen as the ninja version of "oil". Although it can be burned, the burning effect is not very good. And because it will pollute the land, it is called "blood of evil spirits" by the natives of the ninja world.

The rules of the ninja world are different from the world before Dohei traveled through time.

So even though there is oil, its value has been lost due to its weakened combustibility.

How could Dou Ping not know about this thing? He just thought it was useless before. But who would have thought that this thing would have other uses after being developed by Orochimaru.

The gas for the airship needs to be refined with black oil, and we must find a way to solve this problem.

Since the oil area is located on the fire/wind boundary, with the Rain Kingdom above and the River Kingdom below, we can only act quietly.

Of course, it is impossible to let the River Kingdom take action.

Although that place is controlled by the United Fruit Chamber of Commerce, those who are interested are naturally aware of the relationship between the other party and the castle tower. If they really take action, they will expose their own situation.

So we can only ask the Kingdom of Wind to buy it.

But it’s kind of funny when you think about it.

Before Tang Ping traveled through time, the Kingdom of Wind was a completely "poor and barren" place.

If not for this, the Sand Ninja would not have thought of invading the Fire Country every time their mission share was snatched away.

Because they rely on the mission share to survive. You, Konoha, are not human beings. You even want to rob me of my foundation for survival. If we don't invade, who will you invade?

This is also the reason why Konoha would appease the Sand Ninja after the war.

They are invading because they can't survive. It's useless to just fight back. You might as well take out something to appease them and let them survive first.

"Let's not talk about the black oil. Right now, the castle tower is extremely lively!"

Uchiha Mei looked down at the tea mountain.

Well, the airship is now parked on top of the castle tower, so this is the highest point in the city, and it’s naturally like looking down when looking at other places.

The reason why Uchiha Mei said this is because there are now a large number of spies with powerful forces keeping an eye on this airship.
