The days of being a puppeteer in Konoha

Chapter 90 Research and Development in Progress

The next afternoon, in the attic of the orphanage.

Hideki walked to the window and pulled the thick black curtains, making the attic dim.

Then he walked to a strange machine and pressed the switch on it.

With a snap, the machine cast a curtain of light onto the wall not far away, and at the same time, the sound of gears turning began to be heard from inside.

Then, images of activities gradually appeared on the wall, which seemed to be a scene of Mighty Dai leading the children in the orphanage to do radio gymnastics.

It looks like just an ordinary everyday clip, and it even looks a bit eye-catching because everyone is wearing strange tights.

But if people working in the film industry saw this scene, they would definitely be shocked, and it might even cause a major earthquake in the industry.

Because what was being projected on the wall at this time was not the black and white image they were accustomed to.

The sky was blue, the grass was green, and the children's faces were rosy white. They all had the bright colors they should have.

Even the tights everyone was wearing were green, exuding a youthful vibe.

Yes, in just one day, Hideki single-handedly pushed the film industry from the black-and-white era to the color era.

If there are specialized film courses in the future, every time students learn about this period of history, they will probably have to watch Matt wearing this eye-catching gymnastics...

But surprisingly, Hideki did not show any joy about this. Instead, he frowned, as if he was not satisfied with the effect of the film.

Indeed, for Hideki, who was used to watching 4K high-definition uncensored movies in his previous life, the so-called color images with blurred colors and distorted pictures in front of him were really hard to accept.

But this was actually within Hideki's expectations.

In order to save time, he did not actually develop the photography and projection equipment from scratch, but directly bought them on the black market and modified them.

He also used the simplest and most brutal method to achieve color images.

The reason why people can see the colorful world is that there are three types of cone cells on the retina of the eye, which can perceive the three color wavelengths of light: RGB, red, green, and blue.

The films used in movies today are still very primitive, and the photosensitive coating can only record the changes in black and white light and dark, so the images projected are also in black and white.

So Hideki decided to use optical parts such as prisms to record the images captured by the camera on three rolls of film at the same time.

Then he placed a red, green and blue filter in front of the film so that each roll of film would only record one primary color of light.

When showing the film, you only need to project the light sources of the corresponding primary colors respectively, and then overlap the images through a prism to easily restore the colorful images.

Well, in theory...

However, since the steps are somewhat complicated, the small defects of the machine, filters, prisms, and films will be constantly superimposed and amplified in the process, eventually leading to distortion and blur of the image.

Although it is enough to deal with the people in the ninja world who have never seen the world.

But Hideki, who has always been a bit of a perfectionist, felt a little embarrassed.

"Can't we just take shortcuts and go with color film like the movies in our previous life?"

Hideki began to ponder in his mind, but quickly shook his head.

Although color film may seem ordinary, it is actually a thoroughly high-tech product and a reflection of a country's industrial level in photosensitive materials.

The various chemical additives needed for the color film photosensitive coating were not something that Hideki could think of on the spur of the moment, but required accumulation and research and development through a large number of experiments.

If I have this much time, I might as well study more about programming flow sealing techniques and stride directly into the digital film era.

And then Hideki actually did it.

Anyway, the school's preparatory work would take a few more days, so Hideki decided to challenge his limits to see if he could come up with a satisfactory work before then.

If it really doesn't work, just make do with the newly modified machine.

Hideki started to close the doors and windows, and after checking that there were no problems through perception, he started brainstorming to find inspiration...

Then a few minutes later...

“Eureka!!”

Shouts of surprise echoed in the attic.

He was sitting cross-legged on the carpet. Although his face was pale and he looked drained, his eyes were shining with joy. "I'm so stupid, really."

Hideki sighed first.
"They actually abandoned the previous route of combining technology and ninjutsu in order to be faster, and ended up taking a long detour."

"Why didn't I think of this just now? There is actually a very similar technology in the ninja world?"

The art of telescope.

Isn't this ninjutsu, which the Sandaime often used to protect the safety of Konoha's bathhouse, a combination of both video and projection functions?
And it was broadcast live...

At the same time, in the remaining time of the brainstorming technique, Hideki also roughly deduced the general principle of this technique.

The entry point is its positioning function.

Judging from the fact that this technique only requires knowing the chakra characteristics of the target to monitor at a long distance, it is obvious that the principle of perception ninjutsu is used.

So it is natural for Hideki to continue to speculate that the "photography" function of this technique should also be achieved through perception.

After all, he himself had a strong chakra control ability and had created a technique that could use chakra to detect the various physical properties of materials.

This technique should also use a similar method, using chakra to record the optical information around the opponent.

The chakra then carries this information back to the caster, and eventually appears in the crystal ball.

In fact, this has many similarities with the technique of perception passed down by the mountain clan, which allows them to share their perception of the situation.

In this way, the mystery of the art of telescope has been solved for the most part.

Another question is how it achieves such an incredible surveillance range covering the entire Konoha.

Although the giant toad sage of Myōboku Mountain has also used crystal balls to achieve longer-distance monitoring.

But Hideki didn't think that the Sandaime would normally choose to consume a huge amount of chakra to perform this technique.

Considering that it is essentially a perception ninjutsu.

So Hideki quickly thought of the early warning barrier covering the village.

This barrier is mainly used to prevent foreign enemies from sneaking in, so it will be maintained by the barrier team ninjas 24 hours a day, and the chakra characteristics of all people within Konoha can be identified through the principle of sensing the magic circle.

Once an unregistered chakra signature appears, or a powerful chakra fluctuation suddenly erupts, the barrier squad will immediately know and report it to the Anbu for processing.

According to Hideki's guess, the Sandaime probably used his authority to take advantage of the barrier, so that he could easily monitor the entire Konoha with the telescope technique.

It is not difficult to see that as long as this technique is slightly improved and a mechanism is added to save the images using runes and other methods, it can be used as a camera and projector, and the effect will be absolutely amazing.

Hideki secretly estimated that with his own chakra control ability, combined with the enhancement of the brainstorming technique, he could develop this technique in a month.

There is one small problem though.

But Hideki has no intention of being a human cameraman on the set every day.

In order to turn it into a rune machine that anyone can use, this ninjutsu must be completely converted into the form of a rune ritual.

With his current level, he will probably have to work hard for a while to achieve this.

In order to save time, Hideki began to think about how to ask the Sandaime for the telescope technique...

After all, the Sandaime performed the technique by photographing it through the perception barrier and projecting it through the crystal ball. Obviously, at least the key functions had been realized, which saved Hideki a lot of effort.

The problem was how he could explain that he knew the art of telescopes...

It's easy to figure out that the Sandaime would certainly not advertise a ninjutsu that could monitor the entire Konoha at any time.

I'm afraid that even the ninjas in the barrier class may not know that their own barrier has such a wonderful use.

If Hideki accidentally blurts out information that he shouldn't know, the trust that he has built up with the Sandaime over the past few months may fall apart in an instant.

For this, even though my head was still a little dizzy from the brainstorming technique.

But Hideki still started to think about how to fool the dear Hokage this time...
