Ninja at the top of the food chain

Chapter 522 Depleted Uranium Bomb

At noon, in the smoky factory area, tall buildings spread all over the area, and the tops of the chimneys lined up, billowing thick smoke seemed to fill the sky within a few miles.

Next to the factories dedicated to the manufacture of various metal products, there are many low-rise building sheds used for workers' accommodation, and there are extremely solid dirt roads under their feet.

At this time, there might be muscular men wearing rough linen clothes passing by the roadside carrying hammers and shovels, or a group of shirtless men sleeping on the straw mats inside the shed, making bursts of snoring.

While walking, from time to time, you can see a few spacious warehouses about four to five meters high and ten meters wide. There are a large number of finished ninja tools piled up inside.

This place is the largest manufacturing plant in Kawanoka that produces all kinds of cold weapons and various agricultural tools. The order for ninja tools that Lei Luo submitted to the Daimyo of Kawanokoku was completed here.

But the purpose of Lei Luo's coming here has nothing to do with the huge batch of purchase orders. Although he came here to check the progress of ninja equipment manufacturing, it was just what he really wanted to check...

It is not a simple ninja tool in the conventional sense, but a secret weapon that belongs to him alone.

Passing by a group of low shacks, passing by the workers who were rushing forward, Lei Luo ignored the curious eyes looking at him from around, and asked to his side like no one else:

"Has all the statements been recorded?"

"Yes."

"Send a copy to Danzo, pay attention to it as soon as possible, let Minato do this."

"Ok."

"Is the food and grass supplies in place?"

"A total of [-] sets of ninja tools, one..."

"Needless to say, you just need to be aware of this specific matter."

Interrupting Nonaiyu's speech, Lei Luo turned his head, looked at the former with a little reproach, and then asked with a slight frown:

"How is the situation in the Land of Rain? Has it moved yet?"

"No."

Shaking his head, a look of doubt flashed across Nonaiyu's face:
"Three days have passed since the signing of the agreement, but the more than 5000 Konoha ninjas over there...have no sign of leaving to return to the village."

"Master Huan sent someone to tell you that he has been watching there all the time and will not miss any important target."

"Sarutobi Hiruzen, what the hell are you doing..."

Lei Luo narrowed his eyes slightly, and he also had some doubts in his heart:
Whether it's the constant disputes between the two factions in the village, the fact that I spent two years in Kawanoka to eliminate dissidents, the three-party collusion incident, or the existence of Uchiha and this spy...

All these factors have led to the fact that the two sides are now at a loss, and there is no room for relaxation in the middle. Hiruza Sarutobi will not fail to understand the current situation.

Under such circumstances, the correct approach should be to return to Konoha as soon as possible, and use the name of Hokage to summon most of the ninjas in the village to fight Lei Luo, instead of continuing to procrastinate in a seemingly passive manner like now.

Could it be that……

"What's the situation on the battlefield at Sakumo Hatake? You should know what I'm referring to."

Without even a second of thinking time, Nonoyu blurted out: "Danzo-sama's information, Hatake Sakumo has not changed, and is still fighting with Kirigakure."

"Aren't you going to recall Hatake Sakumo?"

After muttering something in a low voice and thinking for a while, Lei Luo couldn't figure it out for a while:

Is Sarutobi Hiruzen taking the overall situation into consideration, unwilling to let Kirigakure take advantage of internal disputes, or is he confident that the remaining troops in the Kingdom of Rain will be able to defeat him, Lei Luo?

Not counting the high-end combat power of the two sides, 5000 people fighting 3000 people does seem to have some advantages, so Sarutobi Hiruzen is not planning to return to the village and directly come to a decisive battle in the wild?
Or, wait for yourself to make the first move?
Just at this moment, an old voice came to Lei Luo's ears, interrupting Lei Luo's thoughts: "Lord Lei Luo, are you here to inspect the goods?"

Five meters ahead, an old man with bare upper body, wrinkled face, but rather muscular body walked up to him, and said flatteringly:
"A total of 34, the kind you mentioned, uh...the depleted uranium bomb has been manufactured, do you want to see it?"

Lei Luo nodded: "Take it here."

The old man's name is Chuan Yihui, and he is the general manager of the entire iron and steel equipment manufacturing plant. He is proficient in various iron and steel smelting techniques. Lei Luo met him ten days ago through the relationship of Kawano Liao.

After some communication, Lei Luo judged that Chuan Yihui had something, so he gave the other party the hundreds of kilograms of uranium ore stored in the sealed scroll, as well as the design drawing he had drawn before crossing, and gave him instructions:

Firstly, the uranium ore was initially extracted by the hydrometallurgy method, and then further condensed and concentrated by the electrolysis method. Finally, according to the structure on the design drawing, the finished product was forged into a corresponding cannonball shape and returned to him.

Some of the technologies mentioned by Lei Luo, including a large number of molecular formulas and chemical formulas, have been involved in Kazuki Kawasaki's daily life, and some of them are unheard of.

However, after Lei Luo explained in detail-the more specific operation methods, as well as the reaction conditions and color changes of the uranium ore at each stage during each step, Chuan Yihui, an old technician, still had a rough idea. I understand.

Speaking of which, Lei Luo should really be thankful: things like chemical symbols and equations may be because Naruto anime is based on reality, so the knowledge about this part of the two worlds is common.

According to Chuan Yihui's statement, these weird characters, like ghostly drawn characters, were passed from the other side of the sea, and the scientific development of Ninja World Continent was deeply affected by it.

Through the various daily necessities that he usually noticed, Lei Luo judged that the technological development of today's ninja world has roughly reached the level of World War I in his previous life, except for the military field. This is why he is willing to outsource the work of purifying uranium ore. reason.

Although I don't think Chuan Yihui can fiddle with highly enriched metal uranium, let alone directly separate nuclear fuel such as uranium 235, Lei Luo thought:

After a simple process of purification and processing, it should be almost achievable to produce something similar to depleted uranium bombs.

After all, depleted uranium bombs only need uranium 238, and more than 90.00% of the uranium atoms in nature are uranium 238 atoms. Whether Chuan Yihui understands the inner meaning or not, he only needs to operate according to his requirements without thinking.

After finishing his thoughts, when Lei Luo came back to his senses, Chuan Yihui turned around somewhere, and walked towards Lei Luo with two seemingly very heavy large boxes in both hands.

"A box of seventeen pieces, that's all."
