Create a swarm technology tree in Konoha

According to the research of Living Dragon and Jupiter, they confirmed that the problems in the forest of the tree herders were caused by the tree herders themselves. After human intervention in the disaster, they were too persistent in eliminating the source of the disaster, thus causing defects in the forest ecosystem.

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

After the insect as the bottom consumer dies, the chain reaction causes the food chain system to become disordered, the number of predators decreases on a large scale, and the number of herbivores skyrockets.

But before nature can repair itself, the tree herders once again eliminated the herbivores other than insects. At this point, the consumers in the forest went extinct, and the forest became a purely productive forest.

After a purely productive forest has been operating for thousands of years, most of the elements that promote plant growth are locked in itself, as well as the corpses of trees that have died but cannot decompose for a long time.

Without bugs for crushing, relying solely on microorganisms to decompose plant debris is extremely inefficient, and the rate of decomposition cannot keep up with the rate of increase.

As a result, massive amounts of tree debris gradually accumulated in the forest, which became a depository of resources.

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

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

In the eyes of the tree shepherds, the trees they planted are getting longer and longer, and they continue to walk along this road with great joy.

After tens of thousands of years, now on the planet Tree Shepherd 3, there are very few plants that are still blooming in the huge forests all over the world, and fruit-bearing trees are even rarer.

Except for the waves of trees caused by the wind, all the forests are silent. The only lively ones are in the Oak settlements, and the trees with blossoms and fruits are also nearby.

But the green-skinned Oaks only eat fruits and young leaves, and their diet is extremely monotonous, especially the remains of large-headed tree trunks that cannot be eaten.

Simply relying on the Oak community cannot achieve an effective energy and material cycle with the forest.

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

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

Old fallen leaves and broken tree stumps are all not spared, and even plants buried underground that have been carbonized or even turned into lignite can be chewed up and swallowed.

The diet of worker bees is all about being comprehensive.

In addition to worker bees, Zhou Wenming's production bugs also include sugar ants, which were started by Younv Iron Pill, and fat bugs that provide oil, which are of great benefit to plants.

Aburame Tetsumaru and Jupiter offered to help the tree shepherd solve this problem. Baoshu expressed his gratitude at that time, but he was not too happy.

It turned out that they had known about these problems for a long time, and more than one civilization had offered help, but in the end they were unable to solve them.

Baoshu and other ancient trees have long been in despair, and their confidence in outsiders has long collapsed.

But after all, Zhou Wenming is a powerful civilization, and he helped Baoshu act out the moment he came. He had to give him some face, and with the help of his repeated persuasion, Baoshu took out the former testing ground.

It was a completely isolated small area. Whatever you did after it was closed, even if it caused a huge disaster, it would not spread.

Therefore, Jupiter released the production bugs in the bug swarm here. These production units are consumers for the forest.

After two months, the forest's vitality begins to increase.

Four months later, the forest showed signs of large-scale flowering, and Jupiter also introduced pollinating bees at the right time.

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

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

The most important thing is that after part of the mature fruit is eaten by insects, the surviving fruit sprouts and grows smoothly.

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

After the Zerg fully participated in the energy cycle of the forest, the phenomenon of natural reproduction took full effect. 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, making them quietly prepare for cognitive changes.

But none of the ancient trees were too excited.

Prior to this, there were several technological civilizations that helped them realize this scene for a short time, but none of them could continue to operate stably.

However, Zhou Wenming did not invest in any large-scale industrial fertilizer this time. It is indeed a surprise to achieve such an effect. The next step is to see whether it can be sustained.

So under the witness of both parties, the test site was completely sealed and then left alone. If the effect is still good after one year, it will be an initial success.

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

Gushu really won't be in a hurry, and he can't be in a hurry. He doesn't even dare to be in a hurry, so he just takes his time step by step.

But Aburame Tetsumaru couldn't do it. He forced himself to stay for six months. The relevant negotiations had been completely completed. The subsequent cooperation between the two parties was progressing slowly, and the next node was far away. So he said goodbye to Baoshu and returned in a hurry. The ninja world.

Only the living larvae with the same slowness were left in civilized contact with the tree herders, and the ancient trees were naturally extremely satisfied.

Since there were no descendants from the industrial group to replace him, poor Jupiter could only return to space and continue the construction of the Gate of Heaven.

…

In a few months, not much happened here in the Tree Shepherd Civilization, but it was different in the ninja world.

Time has entered Konoha's sixty-fifth year. After careful consideration, Namikaze Minato decided to retire at the age of forty-three, in his prime, and give up the position of Hokage to the Fifth Hokage.

The twenty-six-year-old Uchiha Itachi overwhelmed Kakashi Hatake with his absolute strength advantage, took over the Hokage hat from his teacher Yondaime, and became the legitimate Hokage.

Itachi's climb to the top fulfilled the Uchiha family's dream and completed an obsession that lasted for half a century. The Uchiha family members rejoiced.

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

There is no way, now that Zhou Wenming has unified the world, leaving only Konoha Village as a special zone, the Hokage is no longer the powerful one who had all the power in the world, he is really just the village chief of Konoha Village.

There's nothing exciting about being a mere village chief, right?

But the Uchihas are just very excited, these guys with red eyes are just so arrogant.

Uchiha Sasuke was so happy that he wanted to look at people with his nostrils. The sky cleared up and the rain stopped. He couldn't see anyone in his eyes. My brother is the Hokage!

Uchiha Fugaku's resentment at being overturned by his son disappeared, and he looked at the blindfolded eldest son and laughed so hard that he could not see his teeth.

Even Uchiha Sanae, who had long since left the Uchiha family and never returned to the village after coming back from other timelines, ran back in a hurry just to attack Itachi who was wearing a Hokage hat and wearing the fifth generation Hokage's haori. Give him seven or eight loud slaps.

To be honest, Uchiha Sanae's strength is so strong that Uchiha Itachi was beaten stupidly. The pain was on one hand, but more importantly: how did Sanae hit Itachi?

Sanae Uchiha laughed loudly and explained: "Brother Itachi's genjutsu has no flaws, but my eyes, sister, have seen more than just the three-dimensional world."

"As long as you look at it from any angle in the fourth dimension, the originally flawless illusion will suddenly be full of flaws."

"It's like looking at a painting in a book. No matter how realistic the painting is, it is flat."

Itachi Uchiha frowned tightly. Because he was busy with family affairs and focused on illusion training, he could not understand the existence of the fourth dimension.

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

"It is indeed not time. There is no difference between three-dimensional and four-dimensional time. Even two-dimensional and one-dimensional time still has time."

“How should the fourth dimension be defined?”

"Well, this is really hard to express. Let me think about it..." Uchiha Sanae thought for a while before drawing three lines in the air, which were classic three-dimensional arrow diagrams.

Then, Sanae drew another straight line diagonally and passed through the focus, and then said: "If you can draw four mutually perpendicular lines, this is the fourth dimensional space."

"Of course, this is just a schematic diagram represented in three-dimensional space. It is similar to the feeling of drawing a three-dimensional ray diagram on paper. The fourth straight line that is actually drawn cannot be seen in three-dimensional space."

Uchiha Itachi took off the blindfold filled with sealing runes and closed his eyes for a long time to study the diagram drawn by Uchiha Sanae.

In the end, Uchiha Itachi still couldn't understand his thinking. He shook his head in disappointment and covered his eyes again.

Uchiha Sanae shook his head. Sure enough, even if he understood the existence of four dimensions through mathematics and other methods, he could not intuitively understand what four dimensions were without the corresponding sense organs.

To describe downward from a high-dimensional perspective is to remove one of the known concepts, which is very simple to understand. However, to describe a high-dimensional perspective from a low-dimensional perspective is actually to describe a concept that "does not exist" and then combine it with reality. combine.

This is simply impossible.

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

A true person who is born blind understands blindness as "emptiness". If there is a similar feeling, it is that when you open one eye and close one eye, the closed eye will "see" the most similar thing. .

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

Sanae Uchiha herself is color-blind and can only distinguish black and white in the four-dimensional space, and is most likely color-deficient, but she can still 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 secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Uchiha Itachi is so talented that he has always put a lot of pressure on Sanae. As a girl, Sanae even suspected that he was not human.

Later, when he saw a large number of descendants, Uchiha Sanae had a profound understanding of what it means to have someone outside of others. In terms of the degree of perversion, Uchiha Itachi was still a little behind.

Despite this, Uchiha Sanae still felt hurt by being surpassed in every aspect by his brother who was more than ten years younger than him.

Today, he discovered that the advantage he finally had was one that would not be surpassed by Uchiha Itachi. Uchiha Sanae was secretly happy.

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

The overall system is aligned with Zhou Wenming's standards. The most important thing is the school education content, which retains the unique 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 twelve years, which is in line with the selection of core leaders.

The Fifth Hokage's series of actions went smoothly until Uchiha Itachi made it clear that the current free benefits would be canceled in three years, and opposition voices finally appeared among the ninjas.

However, there was little opposition.

Because the young ninjas were so unwilling to accept this, the money could not fall into their hands.

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

But no one who is worried dares to stand up and speak out. After all, destroying someone's wealth is like killing one's parents. They can only worry secretly.

Moreover, it is so comfortable to be able to make a lot of money without any risks at the moment. These worried ninjas have difficulty making up their minds, so they have been putting it off until now.

The Fifth Hokage stood up to make changes, and 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 martial arts as the background, coupled with the invincible combat power of the Fifth Hokage, and combined with a large number of supporters of Konoha Village, the reform has formed a brilliant trend that no one can resist.

No one dared to resist head-on. Even the boldest guy could only curse a few secretly behind his back, but actively cooperated in person.

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

The reputation of Konoha Village for its numerous geniuses has never been false propaganda, but a fact verified by decades of war.

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

The geniuses of Konoha quickly stood out, showing superhuman talents in almost every aspect, and overwhelming the five major nations with the size of a village.

Ranking only behind the Kingdom of Iron and the Kingdom of Tea, he became third in the ninja world.

Uchiha Itachi was not satisfied with this. He promoted Konoha Village's full-scale activities and prepared to surpass the Country of Tea and become the second in the ninja world.

As for the first place, Uchiha Itachi didn't dare to think about it for the time being. The Iron Kingdom's current state is too strong, and it is completely like a super god. It even made them the capital chosen by Zhou Wenming.
