Village-wide infrastructure reconstruction, trenchless pipeline rehabilitation, and road network reinforcement
The construction of residential buildings and core public buildings was in full swing, but the reconstruction process of Konoha was soon dragged into a new desperate situation by the paralyzed infrastructure in the entire region.
The shock wave of Shinra Tensei not only flattened all the buildings on the ground, but also caused devastating damage to the space several meters underground. Almost all of the water supply and drainage pipe network, rainwater drainage system, Chakra supply lines, and communication cables throughout the village were shattered, flattened, and buried. Even the original direction of the pipe network was completely disrupted by the displacement of the soil.
The first thing to break out was the water supply and drainage crisis.
There is no source of clean drinking water in the temporary shanty towns and newly built residential areas, and there is no place to discharge domestic sewage. The villagers can only rely on search and rescue teams to bring water in from the river outside the village, which is a drop in the bucket; the sewage can only be dumped randomly in the low-lying areas of the ruins. As the temperature rises, it will quickly become a disease. Mosquitoes are infested, emitting a pungent odor. Medical Division repeatedly warned that the rainy season will arrive in less than twenty days. If the water supply and drainage system cannot be repaired in time, the entire village will become a cesspool when heavy rains come, and a plague outbreak is very likely.
Even more difficult than water supply and drainage is the road and bridge system.
The originally smooth streets and alleys were filled with rubble and depressions, and were cut unevenly by the shock wave. Not to mention the carriages transporting building materials, even pedestrians had difficulty in passing. Several cross-river bridges outside the village all collapsed in the shock wave. The building materials and supplies allocated by Land of Fire could only be transported through long distances at temporary ferries, which was extremely inefficient and seriously slowed down the reconstruction progress.
There are also underground Chakra supply lines and communication lines, which are almost completely destroyed. Konoha's lighting, barriers, and intelligence communications are all barely maintained by temporary overhead lines. Not only are they unstable, they are often interrupted due to aftershocks and construction. Frequent power supply and communication interruptions have brought great hidden dangers to the reconstruction work and the safety of the village.
In the temporary command tent in Building Hokage, the officials in charge of infrastructure had sad faces and sighed at the damage reports of infrastructure across the region.
"No, we can't make it at all." The person in charge of municipal engineering slapped the project schedule on the table with a pale face. "Just cleaning up the ruins of the main road will take half a month. The underground pipe network is completely broken. The conventional method is to dig up the solidified foundation again and lay new pipes. It will take at least half a year to re-lay all the water supply and drainage pipe networks in the village, and we can't even catch up in the rainy season!"
"It's not just a matter of construction period." The person in charge of Civil Engineering Team shook his head with helplessness on his face, "The foundation solidification plan given by Mr. Rinto has deep solidified the entire village's soil. Excavation now will not only destroy the foundation structure, but also affect the surrounding residential buildings. The cost and risk are too high, making it simply unfeasible."
"The same goes for roads." The person in charge of transportation added, "Conventional dirt roads and stone roads cannot bear the heavy carriages transporting building materials, let alone the high-speed movement of ninjas and the possible impact of battles in the future. We have tried using Earth Release hardened pavement will crack and become sandy within a few days, and is not durable at all. We have designed several versions of the bridge across the river, but either the span is not enough or the impact resistance is too poor. Even if it is built, it will still collapse next time it encounters a shock wave."
Everyone talks about unsolvable problems. Infrastructure is the blood of the entire village. If the blood is not connected, no matter how fast the houses are built, the village will not be able to operate normally. However, conventional technical methods will either take too long to catch up with the rainy season, or will destroy the previous construction results, or the performance cannot meet the needs at all, and everyone is at a loss.
Tsunade sat in the main seat, his brows furrowed. The problem of foundation and building materials was solved by Rinto. The solution for integrating construction and boundary was also given by Rinto. However, the current infrastructure problems are more trivial and complicated than before. The underground pipe network, roads and bridges covering the whole village, will Mr. Rinto be willing to take care of it?
She looked at Shikamaru without opening her mouth, her eyes were already full of questions.
Shikamaru was silent for a few seconds, then spoke first to break the dead silence in the tent, "Stop arguing, the only one in Konoha who can solve these problems is Mr. Rinto."
As soon as these words came out, everyone became quiet, and their eyes were filled with hope, but then they showed hesitant expressions.
"But... the foundations, building materials, and architectural designs that Mr. Rinto was previously in charge of can provide him with new research data. Will he find this kind of underground pipe network, road construction, and bridge building chores too trivial and not interested at all?" An official said cautiously, "Last time we went to ask for a plan, he was very impatient. This time the matter is so complicated, will he just kick us out?"
"No." Shikamaru shook his head, his tone still determined, "As long as this matter can provide new samples and data for his research, he will definitely be interested."
He paused and spread his thoughts bit by bit. "The first is the trenchless repair of underground pipe networks, which involves precise Chakra control of underground closed spaces, long-distance microscopic reconstruction of materials, and in-situ strengthening and anti-corrosion of non-metallic/metal pipes. These are areas that Mr. Rinto has not systematically studied before. The soil solidification he did before was macroscopic. The soil structure, building material reinforcement is the optimization of a single material, and the repair of the underground pipe network requires the precise location of damage more than ten meters deep without excavation, and the repair and reconstruction of materials through the soil layer. It has extremely high requirements for Chakra's precise control and penetrating conduction, which can help him improve the remote precision interference model of Chakra."
"Then there is the strengthening of the road system. What he did before was the strengthening of a single building material, and the road is a multi-layer composite structure, which needs to take into account the stability of the base layer, wear resistance of the surface layer, impact resistance, drainage, and weather resistance. It is an engineering application of the composite material system, which can give him the theory of material strengthening. Providing large-scale, long-term measured data. As well as bridge engineering, the mechanical optimization of long-span structures, the balance between lightweight and high strength, and the integration of structures and protective configurations can further improve his application system that combines structural mechanics with Chakra."
"Not to mention, the entire Konoha global infrastructure is a giant system covering several square kilometers. Once completed, it can provide it with long-term, full-scenario operating data, such as the long-term durability of underground pipe networks, the wear resistance of roads, and the structural stability of bridges. These are things that can never be simulated in the laboratory."
Shikamaru's words relieved everyone's worries. Just like every time before, they did not need to use "village operation" or "villagers' safety" to impress Rinto. They only needed to let him know that this matter could bring new fields, new samples, and new long-term measured data to his research. That was enough.
Tsunade immediately made up his mind, picked up the thick infrastructure damage report, survey data and demand list on the table, and stood up. "That's right. Without further ado, Shikamaru, Civil Engineering Team The persons in charge of and Municipal Team, come with me to see Mr. Rinto, bringing all the survey data, damage reports, and all the failed solutions we have tried."
Half an hour later, a group of people stood outside the gate of Rinto, holding thicker documents in their hands than the previous two times. Not only did they include the distribution map of the entire underground pipe network, road and bridge damage survey reports, but also the material and damage of each pipe network, as well as all the solutions they had tried and the reasons for their failure. Everything was sorted out in detail.
Tsunade took a deep breath, raised his hand and knocked gently on the courtyard door, his tone was extremely respectful. "Mr. Rinto, I'm sorry to bother you, we have encountered technical difficulties in the reconstruction of the global infrastructure, and we would like to ask for your help."
Exactly the same as the previous times, Rinto's cold and obviously impatient voice came from the courtyard gate, even more impatient than before. "For road construction and pipe laying, please contact Municipal Team, don't bother me."
"Mr. Rinto, we are not here to ask you to help with engineering design." Tsunade spoke quickly, throwing out the core research value very quickly, "We have encountered a bottleneck that cannot be solved by existing technology. Shinra Tensei shattered all the underground pipe networks in the village, and required regular excavation and re-paving. It will destroy the foundation solidification structure you have made before, and the construction period will not be able to catch up with the upcoming rainy season. We need trenchless, in-situ pipe network repair and reconstruction technology, as well as long-term strengthening plans for roads and bridges across the region, all of which involve Chakra precise control, material microscopic reconstruction, and long-distance conduction issues that we don't understand at all."
She immediately added, "We have brought comprehensive survey data of all infrastructure in the village, including the material of the underground pipe network, damage conditions, soil distribution, damage models of roads and bridges, all sample types are fully covered. If you are willing to study the corresponding technical solutions, the entire Konoha infrastructure system can be used as Your full-scenario experimental site, all test data during the construction process, and subsequent operation monitoring data throughout the life cycle are all synchronized to you at the first time, and all research results belong to you. We only need you to provide the core configuration and operating specifications, and the specific construction execution is all completed by ourselves, and we will never disturb your experiments frequently."
After saying that, the group held their breath and waited nervously for the response. This time the demand was more trivial and wider than the previous ones. They were not sure whether Rinto would be willing to take over.
After nearly twenty seconds of silence, the courtyard door clicked and slid open silently.
Rinto stood inside the door, his eyes scanning the thick documents in their arms. The impatience in his eyes dissipated a bit, replaced by a trace of interest in exploring.
As Shikamaru expected, he was not interested in whether Konoha's sewers were passable or whether the road was easy to walk. However, the technical fields involved behind these problems were indeed not covered by the system in his previous research.
The previous soil solidification was to stabilize the macroscopic soil structure; the strengthening of building materials was to optimize the microstructure of a single material; and the trenchless repair of underground pipe networks needed to solve the Chakra penetration and material reconstruction across the soil layer, long distance, and accurate to the millimeter level. This involves Chakra Z-directional conduction, precise perception of underground space, and non-contact material micro-repair all put forward new requirements for the control accuracy and frequency band control of Chakra, which can help him expand the precise interference technology of Chakra from small samples in the laboratory to large-scale engineering applications in complex environments.
The composite structure strengthening of roads and the structural optimization of long-span bridges will also make his application system that combines material strengthening theory, structural mechanics and Chakra more complete. Not to mention, the entire village's infrastructure will provide long-term operation data for years or even decades, allowing him to verify the stability and durability of his designed configuration in long-term use and complex environments. This is short-term laboratory testing and can never be replaced.
"Bring in all the survey data, pipe network distribution maps, and damage data." Rinto stepped aside, his tone still flat, focusing only on the research data, "Mark the core technical bottlenecks and hard demand indicators clearly in the most concise words, and don't take up space with trivial engineering processes."
"Okay, okay!" The group of people responded quickly, walked quickly into the yard, and carefully placed all the information in their arms on the experimental table in the yard. The person in charge of Municipal Team quickly pointed to the drawings and quickly explained the main materials of the underground pipe network, damage types, and the core difficulties of trenchless to Rinto, for fear of being too verbose and making him impatient.
Lin Yuan picked up the top map of the global underground pipe network and scanned it quickly. Konoha's underground pipe network system is extremely complex. Water supply pipes, drainage pipes, rainwater pipes, chakra cables, and communication lines are distributed at different depths underground. The materials are also varied, including ceramic pipes, cast iron pipes, concrete pipes, and wooden cable troughs. The damage conditions are also different, including breaks, flattening, cracks, and misalignments. It is extremely complicated.
It only took him ten minutes to read through dozens of thick volumes of survey data, accurately grasping all the core difficulties and clarifying the research value.
"It's the same three conditions as before, no exceptions." Rinto put down the information and looked up at Tsunade with a cold tone, leaving no room for negotiation. "First, all test data, parameter feedback during the construction process, and subsequent long-term operation monitoring data must be complete, accurate, and synchronized on time. Any abnormal situations, report it as soon as possible. Second, I only provide the core technical configuration, operating specifications, parameter standards, specific construction organization, schedule, and on-site management. They are all your own business. Don't bother me with trivial engineering matters. Third, if I need to do any on-site tests, you must cooperate unconditionally, clear the site, and provide all necessary support. No interference or onlookers are allowed."
"No problem at all! We strictly abide by these three conditions!" Tsunade immediately nodded in agreement without any hesitation, "We will meet all your other needs and will never disturb your normal research."
"Yes." Rinto responded, his eyes falling back on the thick information, and waving his hand, "You can leave the things behind. In four days, come over and get all types of infrastructure repair and enhancement plans."
Four days?!
The group of people were stunned, their eyes filled with disbelief. The underground pipe network, roads, and bridges covering the entire village involved more than a dozen different materials, dozens of different types of damage, and there was also a problem like trenchless repair that they had no clue about. The entire team studied for half a month and didn't even have a clue. Rinto actually said that they could come up with a complete plan in four days?
But seeing that Rinto had already lowered his head and started to look through the information and had no intention of talking to them anymore, no one dared to ask any more questions and quickly exited the courtyard quietly and carefully closed the door.
After walking far away, the person in charge of Civil Engineering Team couldn't help but speak, his voice full of shock. "Four days... Can Mr. Rinto really do it? Regarding the trenchless repair technology alone, we have searched Land of Fire's top Earth Release and perception ninjas, and they all said that it is impossible to do it. A few meters thick soil layer separates it. It is difficult to even accurately locate the damaged location, let alone repair it."
"He said that it will be done in four days." Shikamaru smiled, his tone full of certainty, "To us, it is a fantasy, but in his eyes, it is just a new application scenario for Chakra's precise control and material reconstruction. What we have to do now is to organize the corresponding construction personnel in advance, make training preparations, and implement it as soon as the plan comes out."
Tsunade also nodded, and the huge stone in his heart completely fell to the ground. As long as Rinto is willing to take action, these seemingly unsolvable infrastructure problems will definitely be solved.
In the yard, Rinto had already walked into the laboratory with all the information in his arms.
He first divided all the data into three major categories according to underground pipeline networks, road systems, and bridge projects, sorted out the core needs and technical difficulties in sequence, and extracted the core scientific issues that needed to be solved, rather than engineering details.
He doesn't care at all about how the pipe network is arranged or how roads are planned. What he cares about is how to achieve precise Chakra conduction across the soil layer, how to achieve non-contact microscopic repair of materials, and how to optimize the long-term performance of composite structures. These can complete the core content of his theoretical system.
The first and most difficult problem to solve is the trenchless underground pipe network repair technology.
The biggest problem with conventional excavation and repaving is that it destroys the solidified foundation, which results in a long construction period and high cost. What Rinto wants to design is an in-situ repair system that is completely divorced from conventional engineering logic and based on the precise control of Chakra.
He first dismantled the core technical difficulties of trenchless repair: first, how to accurately locate the damaged location and damage type of the underground pipe network through the soil layer; second, how to let Chakra penetrate the soil layer and accurately act on the damaged part of the pipe network without affecting the surrounding soil and other pipelines; third, how to achieve crack repair, structural reshaping, and strength enhancement of pipe networks of different materials.
In response to these three difficulties, he designed three sets of supporting core configurations based on the Chakra precise perception, material micro-reconstruction, and frequency band isolation technologies that he had already mastered.
The first set is a full-area accurate detection configuration for underground pipe networks. Based on its full-area sensing network technology, a detection frequency band specifically for underground pipe networks has been optimized, which can penetrate the soil layer, accurately identify pipe networks of different materials, locate the location and extent of damage, and even see cracks, dislocations, and blockages inside the pipe wall, and generate a three-dimensional pipe network model with millimeter-level accuracy, completely solving the "invisible" problem.
The second set is the directional penetration Chakra conduction configuration. He designed a special Chakra frequency band isolation technology that allows the Chakra beam to accurately penetrate the soil layer and only act on the designated pipe network target without causing any impact on the surrounding soil and other pipelines, solving the problem of "transmission".
The third set, and the most core one, is the in-situ repair and strengthening configuration of the pipe network. Corresponding micro-reconstruction plans are designed for pipe networks of different materials: for cracks and fractures in ceramic and concrete pipes, material reorganization mediated by Chakra is used to fill the cracks, reshape the pipe wall structure, and strengthen the pipe wall at the same time The density, compressive strength and impermeability of cast iron pipes; for rust and damage to cast iron pipes, the rust layer should be removed first, and then the metal protective layer should be reconstructed in situ. While repairing the damage, the corrosion resistance and deformation resistance can be improved; for dislocated and disjointed pipe networks, use a directional force field to adjust the position of the pipes, re-join and seal, and then perform overall reinforcement.
More importantly, this configuration has an extremely low threshold for operation. It only requires the cooperation of two ninjas, one using the detection configuration to locate the damaged location, and the other activating the repair configuration, to complete the repair of the pipe network more than ten meters deep underground on the ground. There is no need for excavation at all, and it will not destroy any existing foundations and buildings. The efficiency is hundreds of times higher than excavation and resurfacing.
He even designed a set of pipe network expansion and functional optimization configurations. Even if the original pipe diameter is not enough, he can reshape the inner wall structure of the pipe, adjust the pipe diameter, and smooth the inner wall without excavation, improve the efficiency of water supply and drainage, and solve the capacity problem of the pipe network once and for all.
After solving the core problem of the underground pipe network, he immediately began to design a plan to strengthen the entire road system.
The roads before Konoha were mostly dirt roads, stone roads, and a small amount of concrete pavement, with poor performance, poor wear resistance, and weak impact resistance. The design idea of Rinto is not a simple hardened road surface, but optimization and strengthening of the entire structure from the roadbed to the surface layer to create a road system that takes into account durability, impact resistance, and functionality.
For the roadbed part, based on the previous soil solidification configuration, a special road base solidification plan has been optimized to improve the bearing capacity and water stability of the roadbed. Even if it is rolled over by heavy vehicles for a long time, there will be no settlement or deformation.
For the surface layer, he designed two adaptation plans: one is a general pavement in residential areas, which is based on micro-reinforcement of concrete materials to improve wear resistance and flexural strength. At the same time, an internal micro-drainage structure is designed to prevent water from accumulating in rainy days and has excellent anti-skid performance; the other is The heavy-load pavement of main roads and building materials transportation channels has optimized the composite structure design and added a reinforced steel frame. The impact resistance and heavy load resistance have been increased by more than ten times. Even if it is directly bombarded by Ninjutsu, there will be no structural damage.
At the same time, he also added a low-power sensing module to the road configuration based on the characteristics of the ninja village of Konoha, which can monitor the settlement and damage of the road in real time and synchronize it to the village's global sensing network. Problems can be discovered immediately without manual inspection.
Finally, there is the integrated design plan for the bridge project.
For cross-river bridges and pedestrian bridges inside and outside Konoha, he designed a lightweight, long-span, and high-strength bridge structure system based on previous material strengthening and structure-boundary integration technologies. Using reinforced high-performance concrete and special A variety of steel bars have optimized the stress-bearing structure of the bridge, greatly reducing its own weight while increasing the span and load-bearing capacity. At the same time, the impact-resistant and earthquake-proof configuration is directly embedded into the main structure of the bridge, so that even if it encounters a strong shock wave or earthquake, it will not collapse.
For important main traffic bridges, he also reserved interfaces for defensive barriers. In an emergency, the protective configuration can be quickly activated to resist attacks and ensure the smooth flow of traffic lifelines.
The entire design process lasted three days and three nights.
Rinto did not pause at all, from the design of the core configuration, the optimization of parameters, the simulation verification of small samples, to the writing of operating specifications and adaptation plans for different scenarios, all were completed one by one. He even made graded operation manuals for different construction scenarios, from complex pipe network reconstruction to simple road hardening, everything was clearly written. Even a Chunin level ninja can get started with the operation after simple training.
On the morning of the fourth day, Tsunade, together with Shikamaru, the heads of municipal, civil engineering, and transportation departments, were waiting outside the courtyard gate early. Everyone's faces were full of anticipation and anxiety.
As soon as the agreed time arrived, the courtyard door opened on time. Rinto casually threw out a thick seal scroll, as well as more than a dozen classified operation manuals, and said in a calm tone, "All the plans are here, divided into three categories, underground pipe network, Each category of roads and bridges has corresponding configuration design, operating specifications, parameter standards, and acceptance requirements. First, find different scenarios for small-scale testing, confirm that there are no problems in operation, and then promote it to the whole area. All test data and problems encountered during construction will be synchronized to me in a timely manner."
Tsunade quickly stepped forward, caught the scroll and manual with both hands, hugged them tightly, and quickly thanked you, "Thank you so much, Mr. Rinto! We will strictly follow the specifications and send all the data to you as soon as possible!"
Rinto didn't respond, turned around, closed the door, and walked back to the laboratory. He had no interest in Konoha's construction progress or whether the infrastructure could be repaired on time. What he wanted was just massive measured data from subsequent large-scale construction and long-term operation to improve his Chakra's theoretical system of precise control, non-contact material reconstruction, and composite material structure optimization.
The group of people carried the scrolls and manuals and hurried back to the command tent. When they spread out the manuals and saw the contents clearly, all the engineers and ninjas present were shocked.
They originally thought that it was great that Rinto could provide several core repair configurations. However, they did not expect that Rinto not only provided solutions for all scenarios, but also made targeted designs for pipe networks of different materials and different types of damage. Even the construction steps, input parameters of Chakra, and acceptance criteria were all clearly written and meticulous to the extreme.
"Oh my god... trenchless repair can really be done! Underground pipes can be repaired through the soil layer, and even the positioning belts can be repaired. A damaged area can be repaired in ten minutes? This completely subverts our construction logic!" Engineer Municipal Team looked at the operation manual for pipe network repair, and his hands were shaking.
"It's not just the pipe network. Look at this road strengthening plan. The entire system of roadbed and surface layer has been optimized. The wear resistance and impact resistance have increased ten times. It also has built-in drainage and sensing functions. This is more than one level better than the best road surface we can do before!"
"There is also the design plan for the bridge. It has such a long span and is so light in weight. The earthquake-proof and impact-resistant configuration is directly built into the structure. This is not something we can design at all!"
The tent was full of exclamations, and everyone was completely impressed by Rinto's plan. The almost unsolvable infrastructure problem that had troubled them for more than half a month was simply solved by Rinto in an understatement. It was completely solved in four days. Moreover, the solution provided not only solved the immediate urgent need, but also directly raised the infrastructure level of Konoha to an unprecedented height for the entire Shinobi World.
Tsunade immediately ordered that all trained ninjas be mobilized and divided into three special construction teams for pipe networks, roads, and bridges. They immediately started small-scale testing to verify the feasibility of the plan, and then quickly promoted it to the entire village. It was necessary to complete the entire infrastructure repair before the rainy season.
The test results were better than the expectations marked in the manual.
The pipe network repair team conducted tests in the residential areas of the village. Two ninjas cooperated and completed the repair, leak detection, and reinforcement of the water supply and drainage pipe network in the entire street in only half a day. The efficiency was hundreds of times higher than excavation and repaving. The strength and impermeability of the repaired pipes were even better than new pipes.
The road construction team used Rinto's plan to build a section of test pavement, which was hardened and strengthened in one go. The formed pavement was repeatedly rolled over with heavy-duty carriages, and even bombarded with Ninjutsu, without any damage.
The engineers of the bridge team looked at the bridge drawings designed by Rinto, and after repeated calculations, they found that the safety, economy, and durability of the structure were all perfect, completely beyond their understanding of bridge engineering.
The news quickly spread throughout Konoha, and the villagers who had been anxious because of the paralysis of the infrastructure were instantly relieved. Everyone knew that Konoha was able to solve one reconstruction problem after another so quickly, all thanks to the reclusive Mr. Rinto.
In the days that followed, Konoha's infrastructure reconstruction entered an unprecedented fast lane. The pipe network repair team traveled throughout the streets and alleys of the village and completed the repair of the entire water supply and drainage pipe network within a few days, solving the problem of drinking water and sewage discharge problems; the road construction team advanced rapidly, and smooth, solid roads stretched out among the ruins; the bridge team also started the construction of the cross-river bridge, and according to the design plan of Rinto, the progress was rapid.
Every night, each team responsible for the construction will compile the day's construction data, test results, and parameter feedback into a complete report, and send it to the gate of Rinto on time, without any delay.
In the laboratory, Rinto receives massive amounts of measured data every day. He will quickly sort out these data, verify the actual effect of the configuration he designed, correct the optimization parameters, improve his Chakra precise control model and non-contact material reconstruction theory, and integrate the previously scattered technical points into a complete set of engineered Chakra application systems covering multiple scenarios.
With the gradual improvement of the global infrastructure, Konoha's reconstruction work has shifted from "solving survival problems" to "comprehensive upgrade and reconstruction." And new demands soon followed - the original village protection barrier was almost completely ineffective during the Pain invasion, and the village's global security protection system was in urgent need of a thorough upgrade and reconstruction.
And this matter, the entire Shinobi World, can still only do Rinto.
