Chapter 718 Competition
Gaara is a very smart person, and his talent is not bad. He is just a little younger, so his knowledge and experience are inevitably lacking, and it is inevitable that he will not think well.
Daimaru doesn't have the problem of being a teacher. Some topics can be addressed as soon as possible.
As the fifth generation of the Kazekage, Gaara has his own ideas. Daimaru did not think about relying on his own influence to turn him into his own puppet. If he really wanted to control the political direction of Sunagakure Village, it would be better to do it in the first place. He agreed to Fu Yi and competed for Feng Ying's position.
This level of discussion is almost enough for now.
Later, the two relaxedly discussed the arrangements for the Chunin Exams in a few months. As they were talking, the assistant outside informed them that they were ready and Gaara needed to come forward.
"You go and do your work. I'm going to meet with those children and do a little digging to see if there are any hidden dangers..."
"What? You've come here and you're leaving halfway?"
Gaara asked, somewhat surprised.
"Those 'big dogs', if you are destined, there will be plenty of opportunities to deal with them in the future, so don't be in a hurry..."
"If they knew you commented like this, I'm afraid they wouldn't be so happy to pay for it!"
Without Daimaru's support, it would be really difficult to get those smart guys to buy it.
Fortunately, in the past two years, Daimaru has grown from a poor boy to one of the few "rich generations" in Sunagakure Village. He is really very convincing. In addition, those investors who took a "free ride" basically made a lot of money. , which also makes people feel reassured about the integrity of Mr. "Red Sand Dust".
"It's just a small matter, no big deal! I won't attend if there are any plans later..."
"Is there something else?"
Daimaru nodded:
"An important experiment is about to be carried out on the south coast. I have to go and see it! Those old-school puppet masters are still somewhat capable, and they can actually create something as big as a 'ground effect aircraft'..."
"What is a 'ground effect aircraft' and how is it different from a wing suit?"
As a wise Kazekage and a powerful ninja, Gaara's intelligence and knowledge must be much above the standard, but in this quite professional field, he really knows nothing.
Not to mention a layman like Gaara, not even the top puppet masters in Sunagakure Village understand it.
"To put it simply, there is a huge difference between high-altitude flight and ultra-low-altitude flight. A 'ground effect aircraft' is a large flying puppet or ship close to the water or the ground. It has extremely high load capacity, flight speed and adaptability. The big advantage, especially in the southern Greater Bay Area, is that there are very little wind and waves..."
"Very useful?"
"It's a transportation method between the speed of air transportation and the efficiency of sea transportation. If it can be done, it will be very good..."
"That's good. After confirmation, come back and talk to me carefully!"
I love Luo Luo said expectantly.
The planned railway line from Awaji Village in the north to Sunagakure Village and extending to the northern border has been delayed in finalizing the construction. The important reason is that the construction cost is too high.
The situation of Sunagakure Village has indeed improved a lot, but it is not to the point of squandering money. The prospects of Awaji Village and Naruto Village in the south are quite promising, but the harvest has not yet come. They invested a lot but did not see much money back. How can we carry out such a large-scale infrastructure project?
Moreover, this kind of railway trunk line affects the entire Kingdom of Wind. Without the cooperation of the Daimyo and the government of the Kingdom of Wind, Sunagakure Village will be unable to survive alone.
After discussing with the daimyo several times, the results were not very good, Gaara temporarily gave up the idea of asking the daimyo to provide financial support.
Now that I heard that another assisted transportation technology has matured, Gaara also wanted to see if it was really useful.
…
"Ground effect aircraft" were not popular in previous lives. Taking into account the advantages of air transportation and sea transportation, they will certainly inherit some of the shortcomings of both, and have greater problems with anti-interference.
The real problem lies in the fact that the materials are not up to par, and the impact when landing is huge, which will affect the life of the "ground effect aircraft", and it is often scrapped after it is no longer used.
But there is a solution in the ninja world. Various "black technology" artifact materials are always suitable. Even if you really can't find a durable one for a while, you can be proficient in wind or water escape, or even able to With the assistance of earth-bending ninjas who control gravity, the technical difficulties that cannot be overcome in the information age, which has a far higher technological level than the ninja world, are easy for the sand ninja.
If technology is not enough, Ninjutsu will help!
Those traditional puppet masters who were obsessed with making big news and proving that they were still useful, after absorbing Daimaru's basic theories of fluid mechanics and aerodynamics, worked hard and finally came up with genuine "black technology".
Of course, Daimaru quietly provided some support in private.
Daimaru just laughed at the so-called unwarranted idea! As long as there are results, it's a good thing. Even if the meat rots in the pot, it doesn't matter who eats it first. Those old guys ostentatiously invited Daimaru to watch the ceremony. They wanted to be in the limelight in front of the young people who were in the ascendant. They also wanted to prove that they were not out of date and were still useful.
After having close contact with the children who were about to enter school and answering some questions, and spending half a day rushing to Awaji Village, Daimaru found that everything was ready and waiting for him to be a witness.
"Lord Commander, are you really here?"
Leman, who had originally thought that if Daimaru excused himself, would record the experiment by himself, was a little surprised.
"What's wrong!"
Daimaru shrugged and waved away the greeters who came to say hello. He looked at the sea not far away and saw the big guy lying quietly on the inner harbor dock surrounded by breakwaters.
Looking at its size, it is more than 80 meters long, with a wingspan of nearly 35 meters. The bottom of the fuselage is flat, the fixed wings on both sides are wide, and the tail is stretched.
Judging from the appearance, the flight stability issue should be fully considered, but I don’t know how the actual operation effect will be.
"How are the data from the previous few test flights?"
Female ninja Leman replied softly:
"After nearly ten experiments, there were no major problems. They even secretly crossed the isthmus of the peninsula and wandered around the eastern ocean and northern seas. The original problem of poor ability to withstand wind and waves and difficulty in changing directions seems to have been solved..."
Daimaru's expression did not change at all because of Leman's answer, and he asked lightly:
"What speed and load can it achieve?"
"The no-load limit speed once reached 800 kilometers per hour, and the regular operating speed is also above 400 kilometers per hour; as for the cargo capacity..."
The corners of Leman's eyebrows twitched a few times.
"The three-hundred-ton counterweight made it three round trips from Awaji Village to Naruto Village without any problems. For this public experiment, they plan to send one hundred and fifty-ton cargo directly to the Country of Waves, and then transport another one. More than a hundred tons of supplies came back..."
