Chapter 819: Electrifying the Sunblaze Kingdom!
Chapter 819: Electrifying the Sunblaze Kingdom!
Tang Ping stood calmly and detached, like a sage, by the one-way floor-to-ceiling window that was now open for ventilation, gazing at the distant harbor and feeling the cold breeze blowing in.
Alongside the harbor were numerous shipyards.
It could be said that the Skyguard Tower was not only the economic center of the Sunblaze Kingdom but also its manufacturing hub.
Countless things were produced here.
Moreover, with the presence of the 'Power Plant,' this place had directly entered the Age of Electricity.
Electricity!
The benefits it brought to manufacturing were immeasurable.
One could say that ever since the Skyguard Tower had sufficient electricity, its production efficiency had increased exponentially.
It was true that other parts of the Shinobi World also had 'electricity,' but aside from the Lightning Country, it hadn't been widely implemented elsewhere, and electricity was in short supply.
Take Konohagakure, for example!
The electricity there was barely enough for daily use, let alone for manufacturing.
Not to mention, the cost of power generation in Konoha was not low.
However, the electricity prices in the Skyguard Tower, or rather, the Sunblaze Kingdom, were not high.
Setting aside the most convenient and efficient Dark Rod Power Plant, even the hydroelectric and thermal power plants were already in operation.
The technology, of course, was developed by Orochimaru's tireless efforts.
However, they now had to pay him a large sum of money every year to fund his research.
By outsourcing a significant portion of their research work to Orochimaru, their progress had skyrocketed.
After all, a super genius like him was worth hundreds or even thousands of ordinary researchers, not to mention that ordinary researchers often hit dead ends when developing new technologies.
But for a research powerhouse like Orochimaru, it was simply a matter of 'I think it's possible,' disregarding scientific principles and relying solely on ninjutsu to make it happen.
Currently, Orochimaru was like a major creditor to the Sunblaze Kingdom, requiring a substantial payment each year.
It was this money that ensured Orochimaru never refused any outsourced work.
They had given him too much.
Nowadays, Tang Ping felt that they had made sufficient breakthroughs in fundamental research and had also recruited numerous researchers, so they could reduce their reliance on Orochimaru.
Of course, he wouldn't say that this was because he now had a more useful 'research pooch' at his disposal and was planning to get rid of Orochimaru.
What's the best way to get what I want without spending money?
Kill the other party!
So, Tang Ping had already started calculating the time for the backlash of the two pillars.
It was just the right time, as the Impure World Reincarnation could be used again soon, and it was time to 'settle the bill.'
He could also help the other party with their posthumous affairs, taking a small loss to handle their legacy and such.
Sigh, I'm just too kind-hearted to see things go to waste.
As these thoughts ran through his mind, Tang Ping also heard footsteps behind him.
Turning around, he saw Tian Tian and a few others entering, followed by Yohito and Yohi.
Yohito, several meters tall and covered in black scales, looked terrifying, which was why he was accompanied by several guards.
The mission intelligence had already been sent back halfway through the journey, so Tang Ping wasn't surprised by the presence of the two additional Fish People.
He signaled the guards to leave with his eyes before speaking.
"Thank you for your hard work on this mission!"
Although he looked down on the hypocritical Sarutobi Hiruzen, he had to admit that his methods were admirable, always appearing approachable and down-to-earth. No wonder he had a good reputation before Tang Ping exposed him; it was worth learning from.
"It wasn't hard!"
Shinon, excited, answered first.
The usually quiet and reserved Shinon's sudden enthusiasm surprised Yahiko and Neji, and even Tian Tian was taken aback.
They knew Shinon's personality well; he was the type who preferred not to speak if he didn't have to, let alone interrupt others.
But they hadn't expected that he was Tang Ping's 'fanboy' and admirer.
The others were initially surprised but quickly understood.
Given Tang Ping's achievements and strength, he deserved such treatment, especially since he had not only saved the Oil Clan from a dire situation but also increased the strength and size of the Yugami Clan severalfold.
More importantly, the Yugami Clan enjoyed top-notch treatment in all aspects, making them incredibly happy.
At this moment, if Tang Ping ordered an attack on Konoha, the entire Yugami Clan would mobilize without hesitation.
One could say that the entire Yugami Clan were his 'fanboys.'
Therefore, Shinon's behavior was entirely expected and nothing strange.
If it were the Uchiha Clan, the display would be even more exaggerated.
The entire clan's fanboys, take note.
Tang Ping didn't speak to Shinon, who seemed on the verge of fainting from excitement, but instead addressed Yohito.
"The Radiant Sun Country welcomes you. I can help you regain your human forms, but on the condition that you work for me for a certain period of time!"
Helping them regain their human forms was not an impossible task for him.
Even without his personal involvement, Orochimaru's presence would be more than enough to handle the situation.
However, there was a cost to helping them.
He wanted to recruit the Fish People to work for him, not to help them for free.
So, restoring their human forms was not a problem, but they would first assist in developing the ocean's resources.
"Please rest assured, we will work hard!" Yohito promised.
Hearing this commitment, Yohito nodded excitedly.
She had heard so much about Tang Ping on her journey that she fully understood the reliability of such a powerful individual's promise, and the boulder of worry in her heart was instantly lifted.
"Go find Hachidaicho, I've already informed him!" Tang Ping said, and at that moment, a guard entered and led the way.
The matter of settling the Fish People had been discussed previously, so they just needed to follow the established procedure.
The key was technology! With the samples and related technology in hand, they could recruit people to transform into Fish People.
In the harsh world of shinobi, no special means were necessary; as long as there was a price to pay, there would be no shortage of willing individuals.
Thus, the Fish People were already within his grasp.
Next, whether it was using the Fish People to develop marine resources or explore underwater treasures, it was all possible.
For a time traveler like her, the potential of the ocean was crystal clear.
After Yohito and Yohito were escorted to Hachidaicho's office by the guard, Tang Ping turned to Tian Tian, signaling for her to report the detailed mission process.
Even though she had already received an advance report outlining the mission, the specifics naturally needed to be heard from Tian Tian's own mouth.
Of course, before Tian Tian could speak, Neji, Shinon, and Kiba had already left.
The intelligence on the ninjas' abilities!
But for a ninja, their most important asset, they knew exactly what to do.
They weren't as oblivious as Naruto.
Even Kiba, who seemed to have a simple-minded demeanor, understood this principle.
Clearly, Tian Tian also knew what Tang Ping wanted to hear, so when it came to her talent, she explained it in great detail, even pointing out some of her weaknesses and shortcomings.
The reason was simple.
This path was designed by Tang Ping for Tian Tian, and while she had the freedom to choose her future path, she also needed to consider Tang Ping's suggestions.
Tang Ping listened to Tian Tian's report, his fingers lightly tapping the table, a pleased expression on his face.
There was no other way! Her performance was truly exceptional.
Indeed, Tian Tian's spatial talent could only reach its maximum potential through this approach.
In other words, she hadn't yet reached her peak, or else she could have played with the White Eye Wolf's Godly Might.
The unreasonable aspect of bloodline limits lay in this very fact.
As soon as one possesses it, they are in a mature, peak form, unlike talents that require gradual development and exploration.
In essence, Tian Tian's spatial talent had infinite potential.
Normally, it wouldn't be of much use in the early stages, as the space was only the size of a room, and there was a delay in its manifestation, making it impractical for combat.
However, with Tang Ping's custom-made extraordinary organ specifically designed to enhance spatial abilities, Tian Tian underwent a qualitative transformation. Combined with the weapons and equipment, she transformed into a super armory.
In essence, with more investment in large-scale warfare weapons, Tian Tian's strength would increase indefinitely.
As long as her space could accommodate them! And there were plenty of powerful weapons in the shinobi world, but they were often too cumbersome and troublesome.
However, with Tian Tian's space, this problem could be solved.
For example, the Chakra Cannon from the Lightning Country, capable of shooting down the moon, was their trump card, but its impracticality meant that few knew of its existence.
Tang Ping felt it was time to bring it to light.
If Tian Tian's space grew a little more, accommodating eight or ten of these cannons, she alone could flatten the Five Great Shinobi Villages.
The Shattered Star Spear was indeed useful, but the materials were limited, so it couldn't be used as a standard weapon.
