Chapter 118 Technology Development Bureau
In the depths of his heart, the matter about Qianzi Xianghe, no, it should be Kuchiki Xianghe, flashed through his mind.

Xia Mu no longer paid attention to the genius who had recently become famous in the Maou Spiritual Academy. He sighed to Yoruichi in front of him, "Since Kisuke went to the 12th Division, the time we three get together has gradually become less and less."

Yoruichi rolled his eyes at Natsuki, "It's because you asked Kisuke to make those things, which made Captain Hikifune notice Kisuke. Facing Captain Hikifune's request, even I can't refuse it."

"But I didn't expect that Kisuke would actually be persuaded by Captain Hikifune to go to the 12th Division."

Several years have passed since Urahara Kisuke went to the 12th Division. Now that Yoruichi brought up this matter again, she was not complaining about Natsuki, but just expressed some sighs during the conversation.

Before Natsuki could speak, Yoruichi said, "Sure enough, compared to the Second Division, the Twelfth Division is more suitable for Kisuke. Now he has become a prominent figure in the Soul Society. From this point of view, his name is actually more famous than that Senko Hibiki."

Natsuki listened to Yoruichi's story quietly, and then talked about something else, "If Kisuke continues to shine, maybe one day he will receive an invitation from there."

As he spoke, he pointed in the direction of the sky.

What exists above the sky is a secret to ordinary death gods.

But after becoming the captain of the Gotei 13, many secret files have been opened to them.

As long as you are willing to check and explore, you will be able to find out some things.

As the head of Shihouin, Yoruichi knew even more.

"Them?"

Yoruichi thought about that special squad and the special conditions for promotion to that squad.

Only those who have created something of great significance to Soul Society and promoted changes in the times are qualified to be promoted to that division.

"Kisuke might actually be able to receive an invitation letter from that squad."

Yoruichi expressed his expectations for Urahara Kisuke's future.

But no one can tell what the future will be like.

……

The current Soul Society is just before a transformation.

The appearance of the Kidō Cannon and the Kidō Gun allowed the Soul Society to see another path.

In the past, the Grim Reaper had four abilities: slashing, punching, and running away.

But these four abilities all exist as auxiliary abilities of the Shinigami's Zanpakuto. For the Shinigami, the most important ability is always Zanpakuto. They work hard to develop Zanpakuto, and Zanpakuto gives them immense power.

From the rule that only those who have mastered Bankai are qualified to be captains, it can be seen how much the God of Death values ​​Zanpakutō.

However, the development of Kidō weapons made up for the disadvantage that ordinary Shinigami could not develop Zanpakuto.

Although Zanpakutō is very powerful, not everyone can develop and utilize it. Even if one spends effort and finally masters the Shikai, the ability of Zanpakutō may not be suitable for Zanpakutō.

Compared to knives, today's guns are more useful.

The entry threshold is low, and as long as you know how to shoot, you can unleash powerful power.

Of course, some people also believe that the emergence of the Kidō Gun will make ordinary Shinigami feel dependent and give up developing their own power.

After all, the Ghost Path Spear is essentially a weapon that borrows the power of others.

Among them, the ghost way bullets are formed when ghost way masters use ghost way to seal them.

But such views were quickly drowned out.

Because compared to these different opinions, the Central 46th Room agrees with things like the Ghost Cannon and the Ghost Gun, and is willing to promote them.

Although it is a group composed of nobles.

When it comes to one's own interests, one puts them first.

But the Central Forty-six, or rather, the group of nobles behind the Central Forty-six, still hopes that the Gotei 13 can be improved in strength. As long as the Gotei 13 still obeys the orders of these nobles and is controlled by the Central Forty-six, the stronger the Gotei 13 is, the better.

Although the Ghost Dao Spear is a subversive weapon that has changed the way Ghost Dao was used in the past, it has not fundamentally shaken the rules of this world.

In the 12th Division.

Hikifune Kiryu asked Urahara Kisuke in front of him: "Have you really thought it through?"

Urahara Kisuke said in a deep voice: "Before I joined the 12th Division, I had studied the composition of the 12th Division in depth. The current 12th Division is too bloated. Although it is a technical team, it still retains a large number of combat personnel. These personnel do not have any technical development capabilities."

"In addition, the Seireitei Research Institute is in a state of chaos. They research whatever they can think of without any clear goals. Under such circumstances, the progress of technological development is extremely slow."

"If it were me, I would make the 12th Division's functions more single-minded. The technical team would only need to deal with technical matters, and combat and other matters should be handled by the 11th Division and the rest of the divisions."

"In addition, the Seireitei Research Institute also needs to be reorganized. Those who do not have the ability to develop technology should be eliminated, and the elite personnel should be retained. Several departments should be clearly divided to carry out targeted technology development under the premise of having a purpose!" By now, Urahara Kisuke has completely established a foothold in the 12th Division.

He also expressed many of his thoughts in front of Hikifune Kiryu.

"...Technology Development Bureau!"

Urahara Kisuke expressed his final thoughts.

To sum up the above, the 12th Division is no longer in line with the times. In order to welcome the new era, the organizational structure of the 12th Division should be changed, and a Technology Development Bureau should be established to specialize in technology development.

Although the former Seireitei Research Institute was also very good, it was too old. In terms of history, it had an even longer history than the Gotei 13 and was a department that existed before the Gotei 13 was established.

Now it can't keep up with the new era.

"The reorganization of the Seireitei Research Institute into the Technology Development Bureau should be approved. After all, your inventions have indeed changed the Gotei 13. But, wouldn't it be better if you put forward these ideas later, when you become the captain?"

"At that time, you will be the first director of the Technology Development Bureau."

Hikifune Kiryu spoke to Urahara Kisuke in a gentle tone.

The more he came into contact with Urahara Kisuke, the more satisfied Hikifune Kiryu became with this genius whom he personally recruited from the Second Division.

It was unexpectedly discovered that in addition to having a genius mind, Kisuke Urahara's strength was even more unfathomable.

This made Hikifune Kirio come up with an idea, which was to retire and give the position of captain to Urahara Kisuke in front of him.

In the Gotei 13, there are cases where the captain retires.

Hikifune Kiryu has been the captain of the 12th Division for hundreds of years, but to be honest, it's actually a bit boring.

However, even if she really wants to retire, she has to wait until she completes the "temporary soul".

In the past few years, with the help of Kisuke Urahara, she has made another breakthrough in this technology and is not far from complete completion.

"I'm not interested in becoming the first director of the Technology Development Bureau. I just want to see the world move forward." Urahara Kisuke expressed his inner thoughts. After coming to the 12th Division, he was able to realize and turn many of his ideas into reality, especially the Kidō Cannon and the Kidō Gun, things that he had never thought about in the past and didn't think much of, but they actually changed the world.

Kisuke Urahara gradually developed some ambitions.

Perhaps he could become the driving force behind the progress of this world.

Urahara Kisuke had never considered being the captain or the first director of the Technical Development Bureau. His main purpose in learning Bankai was just to test the divine body.

But there was one thing he couldn't stand.

That is, the current Seireitei Research Institute is indeed unable to meet some of his requirements for technological development.

Hikifune Kiryu looked deeply at Urahara Kisuke again.

"I will submit the relevant proposals."

……

Several months have passed since the graduation season of the Maou Spiritual Academy.

This year, apart from Senko Hibiki who completed the six-year curriculum of the Maou Spiritual Academy in just two years, no other geniuses emerged.

However, this does not affect the recruitment of new members for the Gotei 13.

In addition to some members recruited from the Maou Spiritual Arts Academy, the 11th Division added many new members during this period.

These team members did not come from the Maou Spiritual Academy, but were transferred from the neighboring 12th Division.

Thinking of what had happened recently, Xia Mu sighed again.

In the original work, Natsuki knew that Kisuke Urahara had founded the Technology Development Bureau.

Unexpectedly, Urahara Kisuke, who joined the 12th Division ahead of schedule and made a name for himself in the Division, actually persuaded Hikifune Kiryu to reorganize the Seireitei Research Institute into the Technology Development Bureau.

On the surface, this was Hikifune Kiryu's suggestion.

But Natsuki had watched the anime and immediately knew that this matter was closely related to Kisuke Urahara.

Hikifune Kiryu is a captain with a very long history. In terms of status within the Gotei 13, his status is actually higher than that of Unohana Retsu, the captain of the 4th Division. Although the medical team is also very important, it was not until after the Thousand Year Bloody War in the original work that the Shinigami of Soul Society truly realized its importance. Because of the outbreak of the war, its value was revealed. Before that, many Shinigami looked down on medical Shinigami who had no combat ability.

Not long after Hikifune Kiryu submitted his proposal, the Central 46th Office, after researching and deciding, finally agreed to reorganize the 12th Division and rebuild the Seireitei Research Institute into the Technology Development Bureau.

For this reason, Division 12 became a purely technical team.

Many fighters who did not understand technology became unemployed as a result, but fortunately they were outstanding in strength and after some coordination, they were finally transferred to other squads. Similarly, in exchange, technical talents who understood technology development in other squads were also transferred to the 12th Squad.
