Tamura Hiroshi had made a great haul, and Ringo Jasmine had brought back quite a bit as well. There was a reason so many people had been stationed there: it was a factory—or rather, a workshop—for processing the various materials and components used to make Chakra Armor.
Making Chakra Armor was extremely complicated. It couldn't be done in a single laboratory. Some components had to be made with large furnaces and heavy forging equipment because they needed to be exceptionally strong, and there was no way a laboratory could fit all that machinery.
Moreover, the Land of Snow was more technologically advanced than other countries, so its industrial facilities were more complete as well.
With that in mind, Tamura Hiroshi and the others didn't leave right away. Instead, they moved through the industrial facilities in and around the capital, packing up all the high-tech equipment and materials they could find.
They had brought plenty of Sealing Scrolls, after all. They didn't withdraw until every scroll was full.
Next, they would use everything they'd taken to develop Turtle Island. They had already cleared the thorn-like coral from the Island Turtle's body, greatly reducing its load and making it much easier for it to swim.
The next step was to rebuild. They planned to create a mobile city on the sea—or beneath it. It would become their second home.
The group returned to Turtle Island. Under Tamura Hiroshi's direction, they unsealed the materials and equipment, arranged everything neatly, and recorded what they had so it would be easy to find later.
There was simply too much to keep track of, especially the materials. Steel in particular came in many different grades, each with vastly different properties.
Tamura Hiroshi felt no guilt whatsoever about taking these things. He had dealt with Kazahana Dōtō,
