Chapter 226 Design Modification
About fifty kilometers southwest of Loulan Kingdom, the sky is filled with yellow sand.
Seeing that he and Sasuke were alone, it seemed that he really planned to start building the base just like that.
Theoretically, the amount of work this time will be very different from the previous bases.
"Are you planning to do such a big project alone?"
Sasuke asked casually, "With the two of us in this situation, can we still ask for help?"
You have to be conscious of being a person who "doesn't want to return to the original timeline".
Of course, instead of starting to work directly in one breath, Sasuke raised his hand and burned several hemispherical simple mineral huts for resting.
After being in the desert for so long, it was time for Scorpion to clear the sand for himself.
Although it is his hometown, the environment here is not really friendly to him. Even after entering the desert, he took out the "Leech Puppet" that he had never used again in order not to attract attention. The defense was on the one hand, mainly to resist the wind and sand. (lying on the ground, somewhat like a scorpion puppet)
It is a bit difficult for Water Escape to collect water in this kind of weather, but it is more than enough for daily use only temporarily. What's more, after digging a hundred meters, the water vapor will naturally be more abundant.
There were a lot of stones prepared along the way. Although it was a drop in the bucket, it was enough at the beginning.
With the help of the two Kazekage puppets, the materials used for construction are not limited to sintered sand and stones.
Although the technology is a bit rough, it is a great way to make steel!
You only need to prepare a small amount of high-temperature resistant sand mold, fill it with magnetic escape, fire escape or electromagnetic coil heating can be used, and the I-beam is ready!
After leaving the Kingdom of Wind, almost every time I would come back loaded with building materials.
Xie Gen didn't know where Sasuke got so many high-quality sealing scrolls, and Sasuke didn't take the initiative to explain. Let the caravan formed by puppets carry sealed scrolls filled with materials. Each trip back and forth contains hundreds of scrolls of sealed objects.
Construction work can also be carried by puppets. Although shadow clones are required to control puppets, puppets are more suitable than shadow clones for tasks such as transporting materials. The load is higher and they are not afraid of bumps.
Each shadow clone controls three or five puppets at the same time to do such a simple transportation work, which is as easy as picking up the puppets, as if the puppets were specially invented for the shadow clones who can't resist beatings.
In order to cover up their own chakra, the number of shadow clones that appeared in front of Scorpion was always small, only three or five, but with the puppets under their respective subordinates, the number of clones was not too small.
After more than fifty days, more than two hundred meters down the desert, the rock formation was finally dug out.
This is not a simple small project like digging a tunnel and touching the rock formations. Instead, large areas of the site were cleared and surrounded by metal and boulder barriers.
Of course, we still need to dig deeper, as the depth is not enough.
So it took another two months for the foundation construction work to officially begin.
Of course, it is not a boring job. Advance construction design is necessary. The most difficult point now is how to cap the project in the end.
It is not difficult to build a long-span dome of about 100 meters, but in order to protect the base, the top must be covered with sand. At this point, the load will exceed the standard no matter how you calculate it, and this does not include the impact resistance.
The anxious state has been maintained for two or three days. At this juncture, Scorpion came over to raise the alarm.
"Wait a minute, I guess you don't need to think about how to build the base so high."
"What happened?"
"Whether it is made of steel, wood or bone, even if a puppet with a height of more than 200 meters can stand upright, it cannot move flexibly. The chakra consumed by moving the puppet is directly related to its weight."
"Based on the strength of the existing materials, it is recommended that you reduce the size of the puppet to a range of 80 to 95 meters."
"So what I originally wanted to design was a hollow puppet!"
Scorpion didn't take Sasuke's complaints to heart at all, and continued to explain his ideas. To be honest, as a puppet master, he had a little bit of a dream of making a big guy, but he suffered from the lack of funding.
Nowadays, there is a "taken advantage of" who plans to burn money. If you give yourself the opportunity to accumulate this kind of technology, it is simply a free gift! Even though he was being used as a puppet for Sasuke, Scorpion was definitely attracted to him.
"Don't worry, by unfolding the internal structure of this puppet, you can also reach the height of 200 meters you want."
"But you can't expect these materials to be very resistant to tailed beast attacks."
"It's too big and it's just a living target."
"It's such an ordinary material, so don't even think about comparing it to chakra creatures."
"So...well, my follow-up improvement to the current design may be more inclined to an offensive puppet or enough sealing techniques embedded in it."
Sasuke was having some impetuous thoughts, but was forced to get back to business by Scorpion, and he came up with ideas together.
"Or use cheap materials and reserve them in advance to achieve the effect of 'resurrection'. Magnetic escape, hydration technique, and Iwagakure's mineral shaping are all possible, right? The structure of the puppet is used to depict the guidance of structural generation. For spells, use renewable materials."
"That goes back to the idea of needing to consume a lot of chakra!"
"And what are you going to do with chakra metal and energy source."
Chakra metal is not naturally generated, Sasuke already knows that, but there is no way to mass-produce it, and it will be the same in the future. It depends on luck, such as consecration. Occasionally, if there is success, it can be reproduced according to the same method. But the chances of production are frighteningly low.
When a metal substance encounters certain special circumstances the day after tomorrow, it is possible to transform into chakra metal. The common method is to bombard with a huge amount of chakra or "breed" by soaking in chakra for a long time.
The one that is easier to understand is lightning strikes. This is a stupid method developed by the Kingdom of Thunder, which replicates the natural formation of chakra metal.
First of all, the metal volume cannot be large. If it is too thick, it will disperse the instantaneous carrying capacity of each unit volume.
A single lightning strike may not yield anything, and ordinary people's lightning escape ninjutsu is too gentle to be effective.
Sky thunder is the best, followed by stored electricity and man-made lightning strikes.
The metal blank is as slender as possible to facilitate checking the conductivity of different parts, and it can be continuously struck by lightning in a short period of time.
It splits into liquid metal and even vaporizes part of it.
The yield rate is usually calculated based on the output per unit weight of metal after bearing 100 lightning strikes.
There are so many thunders. In the final analysis, ninjas still need to be involved in energy storage.
Chakra metal costs millions per gram, but to be honest, it’s not expensive at all!
how come? Half of that is the cost of electricity!
There is another method that Sasuke has around, the chakra metal manufacturing method, which can achieve controllable purity, but the cost is huge.
"Although this piece of chakra metal may be a little damaged, it should be usable, right?"
He took out the decapitating sword that was not easily restored and used the Kusanagi sword to cut off a large part of it and gave it to Scorpion.
"Inferior goods, the Seven Ninja Sword? Show me."
He fumbled with the beheading sword for a long time, "Is this... the craft of the country of craftsmen?"
Sasuke wasn't sure, "Maybe. Can you tell how this sword is made?"
With such a big iron lump, the handle can only be removed. Xie was a little unsure about his opinion, but still gave a preliminary judgment, "It looks a bit like a human puppet, and there are other techniques."
