Build a Swarm Tech Tree in Konoha

Chapter 538 The Era of the Fifth Hokage
According to the research of the living slugs and Jupiter, they confirmed that the problems in the forest of the tree herders are caused by the tree herders themselves. After the human intervention in the disaster, they are too persistent to eliminate the source of the disaster, which causes the defects of the forest ecosystem.

After the ancient tree of the abyss died, the tree shepherds exterminated the bugs that caused the plague, and then they wiped out all other bugs that gnawed on the trees.

After the worms, the bottom consumers, died out, the chain reaction caused the food chain system to become disordered, the number of predators decreased on a large scale, and the number of herbivores skyrocketed.

But before the natural self-healing, the tree herders once again killed the herbivores other than the bugs, so the consumers in the forest went to extinction and became a purely productive forest.

In a purely productive forest, after tens of thousands of years of operation, most of the elements that promote plant growth are locked in itself, as well as the corpses of dead trees that cannot be decomposed for a long time.

Without insects for crushing, the efficiency of relying solely on microorganisms to decompose plant remains is extremely low, and the speed of decomposition cannot keep up with the speed of increase.

As a result, a large amount of tree debris gradually accumulated in the forest, which became a deposit of resources.

For the newborn seeds, this lush forest is actually a green resource desert, and other resources except water are in short supply.

When the seeds fail to grow normally for a long time, the trees will determine that there is a problem with the ecological environment, automatically adjust their own reproduction strategies, reduce the number of flowering and fruiting, tighten energy to support themselves, and extend their own survival period as much as possible.

From the perspective of the tree herders, the life span of the trees they planted is getting longer and longer, and they continue to walk along this road with great joy.

After tens of thousands of years, there are very few flowering plants in the huge forests all over the world on the Arbor Shepherd [-] planet, and there are even fewer sturdy trees.

All the woods were silent except for the waves caused by the wind, and the only living things were in the settlements of Orcs, and the trees that bloomed and fruited were all nearby.

But the green-skinned Orcs only ate fruits and young leaves, and their diet was extremely monotonous, especially the remains of the big-headed tree trunks could not be eaten.

Simply relying on the Orc group, and the forest cannot achieve effective energy and material circulation.

To put it in the most vulgar terms, it is that the food is not comprehensive enough, and the food is not enough.

But Zhou Wenming's insect swarm is different. Worker bees composed of more than 40 kinds of insects can eat from leaves to branches, along the trunk, bark, and roots all the way.

The old fallen leaves and broken tree stumps are not spared, and even the plants buried in the ground that have been carbonized or even turned into lignite can be crushed and swallowed.

The diet of worker bees pays attention to a comprehensive diet.

In addition to the worker bees, Zhou Wenming's production insect race also includes the sugar ants who started from Younv Tiewan, and the fat worms that provide oil, which are very beneficial to plants.

Younv Tiewan and Juxing offered to help the shepherds solve this problem. Baoshu expressed his gratitude at that time, but he was not too happy.

It turns out that they have known these problems for a long time, and more than one civilization has offered to help, but they have not been able to solve them in the end.

Ancient trees like Baoshu have long been in despair, and their confidence in outsiders has also collapsed long ago.

But Zhou Wenming is a powerful civilization after all, and since he came to help Baoshu act, he had to give some face, coupled with the repeated persuasion of the living slug, Baoshu took out the former proving ground.

It was a small area that was completely isolated. If you do whatever you want after it is closed, even if it causes a huge disaster, it will not spread.

Therefore, Jupiter put the production Zerg in the swarm here, and these production units are consumers for the forest.

After two months, the vitality of the forest began to increase.

Four months later, the forest showed signs of large-scale flowering, and Jupiter also put in timely pollinating bees.

Half a year later, the swarm had completely integrated into the designated experimental forest, controlling the consumptive ecological niche from top to bottom.

The forest did not decline because of being eaten by bugs. The soil became no longer barren due to the excretion of bugs. The forest, which felt the environmental changes, was full of vitality, and big trees blossomed and bore fruit.

The most important thing is that after some of the mature fruits are eaten by insects, the surviving ones germinate and grow smoothly.

Experiments have proved that even without the natural energy brought by slugs, complementing the forest ecosystem can significantly improve the activity of the forest and increase the vitality of the forest.

After the Zerg fully participated in the energy cycle of the forest, the phenomenon of natural reproduction spread in an all-round way. This is exactly the goal that the tree herders have been pursuing for tens of thousands of years.

All the lower-level tree shepherds who participated in the experiment were extremely happy. Their simple thoughts changed uniformly, which directly affected the ancient trees and made them quietly prepare for the cognitive change.

But the ancient trees were not too excited.

Prior to this, several technological civilizations helped them achieve this vision for a short time, but none of them could continue to operate stably.

However, Zhou Wenming did not invest in industrial fertilizers on a large scale this time. It was indeed a pleasant surprise to achieve such an effect. Next, we will see if it can continue.

So under the witness of both parties, this test site was completely sealed off, and then put into a state of being left alone. If the effect is still good after a year, it will be a preliminary success.

At that time, a larger scope can be opened up for larger-scale and longer-term experiments. In short, there is no rush.

Gu Shu really wouldn't be in a hurry, and he couldn't be in a hurry, and he didn't dare to be in a hurry, so he just took his time step by step.

But Younv Tiewan couldn't do it. He forced himself to stay for six months. The relevant negotiations had been completely completed. The cooperation between the two parties was progressing slowly, and the next node was nowhere in sight, so he bid farewell to Baoshu and returned in a hurry. Ninja world.

Only the living slugs with the same slowness were left to contact the tree shepherds in a civilized manner, and the ancient trees were naturally extremely satisfied.

Because there is no descendant from the industrial group to replace, poor Jupiter can only return to space, stumbling and continuing the construction of the Heaven's Sent Gate.

……

For a few months, not much happened in the tree shepherd civilization, but it was different in the ninja world.

Time has entered Konoha's 65th year. After careful consideration, Namikaze Minato decided to retire at the age of 43, when he was in his prime, and give up the position of Hokage to Fifth Hokage.

The 26-year-old Uchiha Itachi overwhelmed Hatake Kakashi with absolute strength, took over the Hokage hat from the teacher's fourth generation, and became a legitimate Hokage.

Itachi's ascent to the top has realized the dream of the Uchiha family and completed the obsession that lasted for half a century. The people of the Uchiha family are rejoicing.

However, they also felt a little strange in their hearts, and they didn't seem to be as excited as they imagined.

No way, now Zhou Wenming ruled the world, leaving only a mere Muye Village as a special zone. Hokage is no longer the superior person who dominated the world at the beginning, but really just the village head of Muye Village.

A mere village head, what's there to get excited about, right?
But the Uchihas are very excited, this group of red-eyed guys are just like that.

Uchiha Sasuke is so eager to look at people with his nostrils, the sky is clear, the rain has stopped, he can't see anyone in his eyes, my brother is Hokage!

Uchiha Fugaku's resentment over being overthrown by his son dissipated, and he looked at the blindfolded eldest son and laughed so hard that he couldn't see his teeth.

Even Uchiha Sanae, who has long been separated from the Uchiha family and never returned to the village after returning from other timelines, also ran back bumpily, just to ruthlessly fight behind Itachi, who was wearing a Hokage hat and wearing a fifth-generation Hokage haori. Take seven or eight resounding slaps.

To be honest, Uchiha Sanae's strength is really great, Uchiha Itachi was beaten stupidly, the pain is one aspect, and more importantly: How did Sanae beat Zhong Itachi?
Uchiha Sanae laughed loudly, and explained: "Brother Itachi's illusion is flawless, but sister, my eyes see more than just the three-dimensional world."

"From the four-dimensional perspective, as long as you look at it from any angle, the originally flawless illusion will suddenly be full of flaws."

"It's like when you look at a picture in a book, no matter how realistic the picture is, it's flat."

Itachi Uchiha frowned tightly. Because he was busy with family affairs and focused on illusion cultivation, he could not understand the existence of four dimensions.

"The fourth dimension...isn't it time?"

"It's really not time. There is no difference between three-dimensional and four-dimensional time. Even two-dimensional and one-dimensional time have time."

"How should the fourth dimension be defined?"

"Well, this is really difficult to express, let me think about it..." Uchiha Sanae thought for a while, and then drew three lines in the air, which is a classic three-dimensional arrow diagram.

Then, Sanae drew a straight line obliquely and passed through the focal point, and then said: "If you can draw four lines perpendicular to each other, this is the fourth-dimensional space."

"Of course, this is just a schematic representation in three-dimensional space, similar to the feeling of drawing a three-dimensional graph on paper. The fourth straight line drawn is invisible in three-dimensional space."

Uchiha Itachi took off the blindfold cloth covered with seal runes, and closed his eyes for a long time to the schematic diagram drawn by Uchiha Sanae.

In the end, Uchiha Itachi still couldn't understand his thinking, he shook his head in disappointment, and put on the blindfold again.

Uchiha Sanae shook his head. Sure enough, even if he understands the existence of four dimensions through mathematics and other methods, without the corresponding senses, he cannot intuitively understand what four dimensions are.

To describe downward from a high-dimensional perspective is to remove one of the known concepts. It is easy to understand, but to describe a high-dimensional perspective from a low-dimensional perspective is actually to describe a "non-existent" concept, and then compare it with reality. combined.

This simply cannot be done.

Just like a born blind man, when he has no concept of color, color, and light and shade in his mind, his understanding of blindness is not "darkness".

The understanding of blind people who are truly born blind is "emptiness". If there is a similar feeling, it is that when you open one eye and close the other eye, the closed eye "sees" the most similar .

The darkness we feel when we close our eyes is actually the feeling that the visual system cannot perceive light at all, so "darkness" itself should also be regarded as a part of vision.

Uchiha Sanae herself is a color-blind person who can only distinguish between black and white in the four-dimensional space, and it is very likely that she is still color-blind, but she can see after all.

But when describing the four-dimensional space to Uchiha Itachi, she really didn't know how to describe it.

In fact, Uchiha Itachi failed to understand the four-dimensional space in the end, and Uchiha Sanae was secretly relieved.

Itachi Uchiha is really a genius, and he has been putting so much pressure on Sanae that Sanae even suspected that he was not human when he was a girl.

Later, seeing a large number of descendants, Uchiha Sanae deeply understood what it means to be someone other than a human being. In terms of the degree of perversion, Uchiha Itachi was still a little bit worse.

Even so, Uchiha Sanae still feels hurt by being surpassed in every respect by his younger brother who is a decade younger than him.

Today, I found out that the advantage I finally possessed is actually an advantage that will not be surpassed by Uchiha Itachi, Uchiha Sanae is secretly happy in her heart.

After Fifth Hokage Uchiha Itachi came to power, because of his profound Zhou civilization background, he began to drastically reform the structure of Konoha Village without hindrance.

The overall system is in line with Zhou Wenming's standards. The most important thing is the content of school education, which retains the characteristic content of ninja training and increases the proportion of basic education.

The time for students to receive education has been greatly extended, from a short period of six years to 12 years, and the selection of core leaders has been completed.

A series of actions of the Fifth Hokage went smoothly, until Uchiha Itachi clearly stated that the current free benefits will be canceled in three years, and finally there are voices of opposition among the ninjas.

However, there was little opposition.

Because the young ninjas were not reconciled to this, and the money did not fall into their hands.

The older ninjas have always been worried about too much money, worrying that it will corrupt the ninja's heart, causing the ninja to lose the ability to survive independently, and eventually be completely eliminated.

But none of the worried ones dared to stand up and speak out. After all, cutting off a person's fortune is like killing one's parents, so they can only worry secretly.

Moreover, there is no risk at the moment, and it is too comfortable to be able to spend a lot of money. These ninjas who are worried can hardly make up their minds, so they have been procrastinating until now.

Five generations of Hokage stood up to make changes. These worried ninjas agreed from the bottom of their hearts. Of course, they would not oppose it, but actively supported it.

With Zhou Wenming's force as the background, coupled with the invincible combat power of the Five Hokages, combined with a large number of supporters in Konoha Village, the reform has formed a brilliant trend, and no one can resist it.

No one dared to resist directly, even the most daring guy could only curse secretly behind his back, but actively cooperated in person.

At this point, Muye Village has finally begun to fully open up, and actively joined the torrent of ninja world led by Zhou Wenming.

The reputation of Muye village's geniuses has never been a false propaganda, but a fact verified by decades of war.

As the attitude of Konoha Village changed, the young ninjas who had participated in sporadic participation began to be organized, and their enthusiasm for participating in social changes was unprecedentedly high.

The Konoha geniuses quickly stood out, showing superhuman talents in almost every aspect, suppressing the limelight of the Five Great Nations with the size of a village.

The ranking is only behind the country of iron and the country of tea, becoming the third place in the ninja world.

Uchiha Itachi was not satisfied with this, he promoted Konoha Village to go all out, preparing to surpass the country of tea and become the second in the ninja world.

As for No.1, Uchiha Itachi doesn’t dare to think about it for the time being. Iron Country’s current state is too strong, it is completely super god-like performance, and even made them the capital chosen by Zhou Wenming.
