Chapter 929: The Ninja World's Aircraft Carrier!
Chapter 929: The Ninja World's Aircraft Carrier!
Aircraft Carrier!
It was launched from a gigantic dry dock beside the Dawn Canal.
Within this dry dock, which was so vast it resembled a small city, numerous apprentices skilled in puppetry and puppet masters tirelessly worked, with countless 'robotic' puppets scurrying about.
For ordinary shipwrights, certain tasks required the aid of tools.
For instance, moving a metal shipboard weighing several tons would necessitate the use of tools and considerable time for shipwrights.
However, for ninjas proficient in puppetry, it was not nearly as cumbersome. They could simply command their nearby puppets to handle such tasks almost immediately.
With the introduction of puppetry, productivity soared.
Without this advancement, it would have been impossible to construct such a formidable weapon as an aircraft carrier in such a short time.
The technical aspects were not overly challenging.
However, in terms of manufacturing, the sheer scale of this project, requiring measurements in the tens of thousands of tons, was daunting. Even in the pre-transmigration world, where productivity was advanced, building an aircraft carrier took several years.
But this was before the integration of puppetry.
With puppetry, construction became exponentially easier.
After successfully testing the prototype, they immediately commenced construction.
The design specifications called for a standard displacement of 100,000 tons and a fully loaded displacement of 300,000 tons.
The core technologies were centered around the 'Anti-Gravity Barrier' and the 'Large Chakra Core.'
The Anti-Gravity Barrier was based on Tang Ping's blueprints, which had previously enabled the Sky Ninja's city to float. Now, applying this technology to an aircraft carrier was well within its capabilities.
The Large Chakra Core technology had been developed by Tang Ping long ago. It could convert Kurobou Energy, or negative emotions, into chakra.
Chakra served as the driving force for various ninja tools.
The Chakra Core installed on the aircraft carrier was an updated type designed by Senju Tobirama, and when combined with the purified and vastly enhanced Kurobou Energy, it could support a vessel of this magnitude, allowing it to soar through the skies like a falcon.
It was the combination of these technologies and Tang Ping's creativity that made the creation of such a formidable weapon possible.
Additionally, the aircraft carrier was equipped with a chakra cannon, the Roaring Electromagnetic Cannon, and other armaments, making it a veritable fortress.
It also featured two special barriers: the Illusion Barrier and the AT Force Field.
The Illusion Barrier, as its name suggested, was a camouflage barrier.
Once activated, it could seamlessly blend the carrier with its surroundings, providing exceptional concealment.
While it couldn't evade the Reincarnation Eye, it could withstand ordinary Byakugan and sensing techniques, ensuring it wouldn't be easily detected.
Even Shadow-level warriors might struggle to detect it at close range.
The key word here is 'close range.'
Aircraft carriers are not close-combat weapons; they are designed for frontline operations.
As for the AT Force Field?
The name itself hints at Tang Ping's involvement.
It utilized the spatial data obtained from the White Eye Wolf's Mangekyo Sharingan.
Upon activation, it could create a 'spatial fault' around the carrier, forcing enemies to either deplete their energy or breach the spatial barrier to attack.
This significantly enhanced the aircraft carrier's survivability.
Even against enemy air squadrons, there was no fear of being shot down.
Having discussed its defensive capabilities, it's essential to highlight the unique features of this Ninja World aircraft carrier.
It could fly!
This single ability alone elevated it far beyond conventional warships.
While airships could also fly, they were not in the same league as aircraft carriers in terms of overall capabilities.
The aircraft carrier's design allowed it to carry 300 fighter jets, 50 bombers, and a thousand-strong flight squadron.
It was the ultimate weapons platform.
Tang Ping had specifically developed it for the decisive battle.
With this weapon, even the Allied Forces or the White Absolute army, no matter how strong, would be effortlessly overwhelmed.
Great Log Wood, eat your heart out!
As Tang Ping envisioned the aircraft carrier's combat potential, a shrill alarm sounded in the dry dock.
Wail!
With the alarm, the workers and puppets gradually retreated, leaving the massive gate at the front.
Clank!
Amidst the metallic clatter, the colossal gate, towering like a skyscraper, slowly rose, allowing the river water to flow in.
The dry dock behind the lock revealed a colossal vessel.
Aircraft Carrier!
Rising over a dozen stories tall and stretching hundreds of meters in length, its entire body shimmered in a silver-white hue, adorned with intricate patterns.
However, its appearance differed from the aircraft carriers Tang Ping had seen in his previous life.
In comparison, it was more 'rounded' and exuded a sense of 'vitality' rather than a cold, mechanical feel.
This distinction naturally stemmed from technological differences.
One was primarily science-based, while the other focused on ninjutsu, so they couldn't be the same.
The materials used weren't purely metallic; they were a blend of wood, bones, and other substances.
If it were all metal, such a massive warship couldn't withstand the weight, let alone tens of thousands of tons.
The incorporation of other materials wasn't solely for weight reduction.
Barriers couldn't be set up on metal surfaces, unless it was chakra metal.
Aside from this, there was also the fact that puppets couldn't be made of metal.
At the very least, they couldn't be entirely metallic.
Indeed!
The entire aircraft carrier was a puppet.
An astonishing feat.
By transforming the carrier into a puppet, control became incredibly simple, though it didn't mean a single puppeteer could manage it. Still, a team of several dozen puppeteers could control it effortlessly.
The carrier required no manual adjustments, and with the infusion of chakra, minor issues could be repaired... and the benefits didn't stop there.
Unfortunately, such a massive puppet was beyond the control of a single puppeteer, so there was still a difference between it and a true puppet.
But this was more than enough.
It reduced the need for operators and simplified logistical maintenance.
Just these two advantages were sufficient.
This colossal aircraft carrier could be easily handled by a mere hundred people, including shift workers, highlighting the magnitude of its benefits.
As the river water filled the dry dock, the carrier floated to the surface.
Launch complete!
"Alright, let's go see the fighters!"
Tang Ping turned his gaze away from the carrier.
Today was just the launch; it wasn't the time for its official debut.
Instead, he was more interested in seeing the fighters, crafted with countless cutting-edge technologies.
Surprisingly, the carrier's technological sophistication paled in comparison to the fighters.
In a world where puppetry and barrier techniques were commonplace, even floating castles were achievable. A flying aircraft carrier wasn't that impressive.
Conversely, fighters were something the previous ninja world had never produced.
The fighters weren't in the dry dock but at the puppetry school.
Campus!
After a significant period of construction and investment, it had become a small city in its own right.
The number of puppetry apprentices alone had surpassed ten thousand.
As for the student body, there was no need for concern. With Sunagakure Village controlling the entire Land of Wind, students could be sourced from anywhere.
Once they completed their studies, they could seamlessly join the puppet factory located not far from the campus.
Research outcomes were also immediately applicable for production or experimentation.
Integration of research, academia, and industry!
This concept, entrusted by Tang Ping to Yakura, had come to fruition.
Tang Ping's inspection visit was a solo one, but he had a 'tour guide' with him.
Temari!
She had risen through the ranks in Sunagakure Village and was now a close aide to Yakura.
As for Yakura, the Kazekage?
She was busy with coalition affairs and hadn't returned to the village.
"How's Gaara's condition recently?" Tang Ping asked as they walked towards the laboratory.
The apprentices around them were curious about his identity, but none dared to ask.
Secrecy was paramount!
Even these puppetry apprentices were keenly aware of this.
"He's doing great!" Temari replied, her demeanor softening when talking about her brother.
Of course, she was now in Tang Ping's good books, so how could she not be gentle?
"It's the least I can do..."
Tang Ping's playful banter caused Temari's eyes to widen in surprise.
Fortunately, before she could react, they finally reached the research lab, the most heavily guarded area on campus. Without Temari's presence, gaining access would have been challenging.
After multiple verifications, the two entered the laboratory, allowing Tang Ping to finally see the weapon he had long awaited, a weapon that would dominate the skies.
