Chapter 427 People with high levels of education seem to speak with great authority.
"Stop arguing," Deidara couldn't help but interrupt. "I have a question for you."
The two stopped and looked at him at the same time.
"Have you seen the Lord?" Deidara's eyes flashed with curiosity.
Huhe Amdo exchanged a glance and shook their heads simultaneously.
"Never seen it before," Hu said.
"I've never seen it either," Amdo said.
Deidara was taken aback: "You all work here, and you've never even seen the Lord?"
"We're just researchers," Hu said, shrugging. "A figure like our lord isn't someone we can just meet casually."
"But I heard that it was our lord who overruled all objections and summoned all the scientists in the ninja world here."
Amdo pushed up his glasses, a hint of reverence in his eyes. "The reason why the scientific community of the Snow Kingdom is where it is today, with hundreds of scientists gathered here to discuss academic matters, share resources, and conduct endless experiments... all of this is thanks to the Lord."
He paused, then continued, "It can be said that without His Majesty, there would be no scientific community in the Land of Snow as we know it today. He is the one who allowed our talents to flourish and made our dreams possible."
Deidara fell silent.
He suddenly realized that the master he had never met was far more complex than he had imagined.
He's not just a powerful guy, an ambitious man; I never expected so many people to follow and idolize him.
"So what kind of person do you think our Lord is?" Deidara asked.
He exclaimed, "I have money!"
Amdo said, "Very rich."
Deidara: "..." Can't you guys say something else?
Just then, Amdo's assistant also came over. He was also a young man, wearing glasses, but he was more handsome. "He's willing to spend more than ten years supporting a group of scientists who only know how to spend money but not how to make it. He really can't afford to do this without having a huge amount of wealth."
Amdo added from the side, "You know, there's no limit to how much money scientists can spend. They can unleash their imagination to the extent of the resources available to them."
He exclaimed, "Therefore, although we have never met, I have great respect for him."
Deidara could tell he was serious, and was about to ask something else when a deep baritone voice sounded from behind the three of them.
"What are you three doing? Have you finished your project?"
The three of them turned around at the same time. The middle-aged man was already standing behind them, with thick but gray hair and a serious face.
Hu Qian chuckled, "Elder Kong, I'm collecting data."
Amdo and his assistant quickly waved their hands, saying, "We were just passing by."
"Just passing by? Have you finished the stress testing for your seventh version of the armor? I think we've allocated too much funding to you guys. Maybe we should cut it in half next year."
"No, we'll go back and do it right away." Amdo didn't bother arguing with Hu and turned to leave.
But Kong Lao stopped him and said, "Don't go. My project team is nearing its end and is in dire need of manpower. As an expert in modification and mechanics, why don't you stop your work and come help me?"
Amdo nodded, a hint of helplessness in his eyes, "It is an honor for this junior to work under Elder Kong."
After saying that, he waved to the group and turned to leave.
Now that the mission was accomplished, he took the materials and turned to leave.
The assistant was still standing there when Deidara, whose neck was now free to move, turned around curiously and asked, "Hey, what are you researching?"
The assistant was very modest. He adjusted his glasses and didn't mention his name, because it was so long that even if he said it often, people wouldn't remember it. However, everyone liked to call him Teresa.
"Actually, my research area isn't as broad as Master Kong's or Lord Amdo's. I'm just a junior intern right now, and my research area is very, very small."
"It's called biological cloning technology, or more broadly, bio-artificial humans. I've already completed the cloning of a sheep, but I haven't yet solved the growth problem, specifically the issue of telomeres."
"What growth problem? What is a terminal granulation problem?" Deidara asked, sounding curious, but he was actually just bored and stuck in place because he couldn't understand at all.
Teres didn't seem to mind, and explained the issues one by one, "The so-called cloning technology is to take a part of your body's genetic material and put it into regenerative and differentiating tissue cells to develop into an embryo."
"The newly developed embryos will be exactly like you, possessing the same abilities. However, there are two drawbacks: they will have to grow little by little from infancy, and their final lifespan will be the same as your remaining lifespan."
"Wow, that's amazing! But I didn't understand. However, our Iwagakure village seems to have a similar clone technique, so your research direction isn't really anything special."
Teres was speechless and could only smile. In the end, under the old man's gaze, he could only silently turn around and leave.
At this moment, the scholars and researchers who had been watching the spectacle had all dispersed, leaving only Elder Kong and Deidara on the snow.
Kong Lao, holding a hot teacup, looked at Deidara and said, "To have achieved such ninjutsu at such a young age, you must be very intelligent. I hope you will read more books and learn more knowledge in your spare time. In fact, sometimes learning more knowledge can actually help your ninjutsu."
"Especially when you use ninjutsu, you need that clay bomb recipe, right? Did you mix it yourself, did you go by instinct, or did you inherit it?"
In response to Sora's question, Deidara politely replied, "It's a little bit of both, but it's mostly a feeling that comes from my bloodline. I feel that the right balance, combined with my unique chakra, should be enough to achieve the desired effect."
"Hmm." Old Kong nodded, then picked up a lump of his clay, smelled it, licked it, and finally said, "The proportions are good, but there's still room for improvement."
"If you're physically able, you can go check out Lab 17. Some old guys there are researching a kind of clay bomb."
"That kind of bomb is physically stable, and it's impervious to lightning at room temperature; moreover, it's a purely chemical change. Even in future battles against large-scale bombs..."
He almost let slip something, but quickly stopped himself and corrected himself, saying, "It will be very effective even against people who are immune to chakra damage."
"An immune person to chakra damage? Are there really such people? Why is Elder Kong acting so strangely?" After Elder Kong left, Deidara was completely confused and muttered to himself.
As night approached and the temperature dropped further, just as his body was about to freeze, the poison was finally neutralized.
At this moment, a boy said, "You're really weak."
