Chapter 719 Exchange

"This is not an experiment, it is a trial operation..."

Daimaru responded in a relaxed manner, and even thought of making a joke to liven up the atmosphere.

"Did you get our approval when you flew over Naruto Village? You have to pay tolls... No, you should pay airspace usage fees!"

"Aren't you... worried?"

Leman asked strangely,

"If these guys' experiments succeed, our air cargo and canal income will be affected..."

"It doesn't matter..."

Competition is a good thing, it can make those subordinates who are used to following Daimaru's baton feel a little bit of a sense of crisis. Daimaru is also a mortal body and cannot take care of everything.

Those "has-been" puppet masters who don't see any potential for the time being are not really good enough.

"Monopolizing all transportation lines is not entirely a good thing for us. We already have the bulk of air transportation and sea transportation, so don't think about taking advantage of everything. Even if the 'Earth Effect Aircraft' has its own characteristics, It will only have a future in marginal fields..."

To be honest, if Daimaru controls the transportation line of the entire Sunagakure Village, it means that the lifeblood is controlled by one person, which is not a good thing.

It's not that Daimaru thinks he's making too much money or is afraid of others being jealous.

"We are ninjas, not profit-seeking businessmen..."

Daimaru glanced at Leman who was a little regretful,

"Those guys who want to show me some color are competitors, not enemies..."

"I understand your will!"

Leman bowed slightly, thinking in his mind that he should do a good job of those guys who said nasty things in private.

Without Daimaru's approval, how could anyone else conduct such an experiment in the South China Sea? This is the territory of the "Red Sand Dust", and no move can escape the eyes of the air combat troops.

It's really hard to understand that they are obviously competitors, but they don't bother the other party, and they still give them convenience from time to time.

"While I'm away, you have some troubles to deal with on your own. It would take a day or two to send a letter to ask for instructions, which is quite inconvenient..."

Daimaru continued,

"The mission of the air combat unit is to continue to clean up pirates and forces roving from all sides, and not to allow outsiders to take advantage of it. Just keep a close eye on what the people in the village do. Don't take random actions. It seems to be a competitor now, but maybe in the future. Will join forces..."

"Is this...possible? The relationship between them and us is not good..."

“How much is a transshipment business in the Bay Area worth?”

Daimaru curled his lips disdainfully,

"If you really want to make a lot of money, you should connect the Land of Water to the east and the Land of Thunder in the northeast. Without us, their 'ground effect aircraft' wouldn't even be able to reach the Land of Waves, and they would have to eat our leftovers in Naruto Village. The next share..."

What is first mover advantage? This is it!

Daimaru, who had already occupied a favorable terrain and got stuck in a good position, was not afraid of anyone crossing him, leaving his side behind and going alone.

Those old-school puppet masters don't really want to compete with Daimaru. There are disputes between spirits everywhere. They are all small matters. Wouldn't it be better to join forces to make money?

While the two were talking, a few puppet masters not far away who Daimaru had some impression of were waving.

"That's almost it. I'm going over there to accept the 'care' from the seniors. You can keep an eye on this side! By the way, what's the main motivation for them to build such a big guy?"

If it really relies on ninjas to perform ninjutsu, it will be too strenuous. How can a noble ninja do such rough work?

"This... or we gave them inspiration..."

Leman replied with a complex expression,

"At that time, they asked us for help with the propeller solution, because the original piston engine had a mediocre power output and the propeller limitations were too great, and they simply couldn't move such a big thing. So they looked at water jet propellers and studied jet propellers themselves... …”

"Well?"

Daimaru was shocked,

"Is it such a leap-forward development? He is indeed a ninja who cannot be guessed by common sense..."

Jet engines are the general trend, but at the level of the ninja world, they are still stuck in the steam age. Silly, clumsy and bulky things are the mainstream. Internal combustion engines and the like are luxury toys for rich people, and the technology is not very good.

With the level of those puppet masters, it is definitely impossible to develop any powerful aero-engine.

However, it doesn't need to be very powerful, as long as it is small enough, light in weight, and powerful, and other minor problems can be handled by the omnipotent ninja.

Pressing his sore temples, Daimaru shook his head and asked as he walked:

"In other words, they also obtained key data on our laboratory's kerosene fractionation and refining technology, as well as the experimental model of the internal combustion engine?"

Leman nodded innocently:

"As you ordered, except for a very few top secrets, the database will be open to them conditionally..."

Well, this is still Daimaru’s problem.

These semi-finished products in the laboratory are not very important technical reserves. Apart from being used as auxiliary power for trial use on a few transport puppets, they have not been widely promoted.

The conditions of the Country of Wind are not yet high enough to build a high-end airport, and the petrochemical industry is backward and fuel is not cheap.

"Those old guys have a very vicious vision. How about the chips they paid?"

Leman made a gesture with a strange expression on his face, and Daimaru nodded understandingly.

After bringing out some useful information, they have to spend some capital to come up with it. They don't need "psychic puppets" and "god-conferring methods" like Miss Sha Ye, but at least they need to have something like the Ten Machine Exercises and the Machine Light Shield Seal. The mystery of the legend.

“As long as it’s not a loss!”

The hard work of research cannot be taken advantage of in vain.

"Being able to research something of certain practical value based on those semi-finished products, it seems that those people have also invested a lot, and their accumulation in most of their lives is still very rich. If there is an opportunity in the future, the price will be higher, and their private goods cannot be underestimated... "

Daimaru complained naggingly, Leman saw that the time was almost up, and whispered:

"I have to board the plane to measure the data, so I'm leaving first!"

Daimaru nodded imperceptibly, suppressed his dissatisfaction on his face, squeezed out a smile, and stepped forward to chat with a few guys who were smiling but not smiling.

…

In a corner where people coming and going couldn't see, two pairs of eyes were observing the movements around them.

"Obito, over there...it's said to be a very interesting thing!"

"You find things interesting that you have never seen before..."

Obito Uchiha looked at the big pill falling from the sky, surrounded by people like stars holding the moon, and said something from time to time. As for the "ground effect aircraft" parked on the sea, anything like that would be fine.

"Don't forget the purpose of our coming today..."

Since the Five Kage Conference, Uchiha Obito, who has not been out to cause trouble for a long time, is thinking about how to rescue Deidara, who is said to be still alive, but there is no trace of Orochimaru...
