The birth of a new era of swarms has not been smooth at all.

After the completion of the fungus blanket, under the control of the mother nest, it expands in an orderly manner, knocks down the forest, kills animals, digests organic matter, and supplies energy and nutrients to the mother nest, and the mother nest is fully supplied, and the speed of pupal development is greatly accelerated.

Seeing that everything was going well, Iron Pill left happily, he first went to check the giant scorpion that was full of food and drink, and saw that this guy had regained his vitality, and the oil girl Iron Pill was even happier, and now he could rest assured that he could use living tissue for research.

The giant scorpion's crazy attack can't stop the oil girl iron pill from doing anything to it, this huge cave is still too small for the giant scorpion, and it takes half a day to move around to complete, how can it stop the little insect from extracting blood from it, biting off the nail pieces, and even cutting the skin and flesh, squeezing the venom from the hook tail.

In just ten minutes, the oil girl iron pill collected more than 400 materials, and filled a large box full of test tubes, beakers, and open bottles.

At this time, I don't know if a large amount of blood was drawn, which caused the giant scorpion's blood pressure to drop, the violent red in the giant scorpion's small eyes subsided, and a look of fear and cringe appeared, and a huge insect shrank into a corner of the cave, trying to hide itself.

[Actually showed fear of me, this is an acquired learning ability, and he has such a powerful intelligence? 】

Tsk, the oil girl Iron Pill licked her lips, she really wanted to dissect it to see if the nervous system had mutated into the brain. It's a pity that I only found one, and I was really reluctant to dissect it, if I could find another one......

Well, I can't bear it until I can breed enough.

After disposing of the giant scorpion's living tissue, the oil girl Tetsumaru left.

Nominally, he came to garrison the Tea Country, protecting and guarding the mines belonging to Konoha Village, where the ore and gems produced would be shipped to the Fire Country, and some of the iron ore would be sold to the Iron Country in exchange for various forbearances.

Grapevine, in fact, all the metal mines in the mines here are the property of the Ape Fei family, the gem mines are the Daimyo of Fire, and the Daimyo of the Tea Country of course also has a share, but it is only a dividend and cannot be controlled.

Who knows, there are also a large number of high-quality mines in the Fire Country, why did they come all the way to the Tea Country to develop, but since Konoha has sent ninjas to be stationed here for a long time, these news cannot be regarded as groundless.

The responsibility of the oil girl iron pill is to replace the previous six squads, guarding the coastline of 300 kilometers southeast of the tea country, and avoiding being stolen by Wuyin Village or Shayin Village.

There are rules for garrison tasks, which requires the oil girl Tetsumaru to communicate with Konoha Village on a regular basis, conveying the message that he is still alive and that there is no problem with the land he cares for.

If the information is not transmitted beyond the specified time, it is basically possible to default that something has happened to the ninja, and the superiors have to use the emergency team to check the situation, and then decide what to do next based on the new information.

Oil Girl Iron Pill has now become the lowest ninja again, don't say what level, what tasks can only be completed by me, only the superior has no subordinates, isn't it the bottom?

Hum.

The oil girl Tetsumaru thought of a reason to be angry, and then angrily went to his superiors to report the task.

Of course, he liked to experiment with the fungus blanket and the brood here, and he knew that this was the only place where he could do research on giant insects, but on the surface he couldn't feel very satisfied, otherwise he wouldn't know what trouble would happen.

At first, my idea was just to leave Konoha Village and go to a place where there were fewer people, but now that the brood and fungus blanket have taken root, it would be terrible if there was an order to change places.

Coming to the capital of the country of tea, this so-called national capital is actually a fortress with a castle tower and a few streets below, and there is not even a wall.

The Japanese-style fortress of Shotenkaku looks mighty, but in fact it is completely designed for war functions, and the interior space is suffocated and cramped, and it freezes to death in summer and winter, and the living experience is extremely bad.

The daimyo of the Tea Country was supposed to live in the courtyard below the fortress in normal times, but the oil girl Tetsumaru didn't need to look for him, but for Ransai Kamishinobi, who was in charge of the defense of the Tea Country, and he usually stayed in Konoha's stronghold, which was about two or three kilometers away from the civilian town.

Lan Sai Shangnin is an old man in his sixties, he has long passed his prime, and his strength is declining, and according to intelligence, he is an ordinary Shangninja when he is young, and his strength is basically at the bottom of Konoha's Shangninja group.

"Lan Sai Shangnin, I'll report." Oil girl Iron Pill saluted politely, no matter what the strength of the other party was, after all, it was his boss, and he was so old, he should have no less respect.

"Oh, the oil girl is here, there are no enemies in your station, right?" The old man trembled and took out a scroll slightly, and asked the oil girl Iron Pill, in fact, there were three questions: There are no enemies, right? No surprises, right? Is there anything you need?

The oil girl Iron Pill responded that the three did not, and the old man wrote the record and time in the scroll Li, and the work was completed.

Then Lan Sai Shangnin invited the oil girl Iron Pill to stay and drink tea, and the oil girl Iron Pill naturally would not refuse, this old man's strength is not good, but the reputation of tea art is not small, and he is very popular among the nobles.

He was taken to the tea room at the back of the stronghold, outside of which was a small but extremely elaborate courtyard, and then Arashi Shinobu served tea to the oil girl Tetsumaru.

After a series of etiquette: hand cleaning, appreciating utensils, warming the soup cup, entering the tea, washing the tea, brewing, and sealing the pot with a brush, it is finally time to drink tea.

The tea art of the ninja world is different from that of Japan in the previous life, not the tea soup that is ground into powder, but the tea leaves that are brewed and fried, so there are many differences in etiquette and steps, but there is no difference in the cumbersome trouble.

The oil girl Iron Pill patiently waited for Lao Shangren to finish this set of etiquette, and finally drank the first cup of tea, called Chu Ku, the tea soup is very strong, the bitterness and astringency are very strong, but the aftertaste is also very strong, and the taste is okay, but it is not the taste he likes.

Then there was another round of tossing, and I drank the second cup, named Yuanchang, and this time the taste was much lighter, and the oil girl iron pill was drunk in three sips.

Finally, there is the third cup, called Fengzhan, which means that it is over here, and this last cup does not know that it has added deep evil, and it has a very long floral fragrance, and the oil girl iron pill likes it very much, and drinks it all in one gulp.

Then the oil girl iron pill bowed and retired, tossed for an hour and a half, drank three cups of tea, and the oil girl iron pill was all hungry, and next time she directly excused herself.

[The country of tea is really a place to retire. 】

In fact, Lan Sai Shangnin will not invite Tetsumaru again, for this so-called tea art master, the ability to observe words and emotions is very powerful, and the oil girl Tetsumaru does not show it on his face, but how can he not see the impatience in this person's heart?

That is to say, the oil girl iron pill is not famous for special forbearance, and even more important than ordinary forbearance, Lan Sai Shangren has patiently completed the whole set of tea art, and he has to be driven out by the old man if he can't finish a cup of tea.

This is the influence of strength and status, of course, height also has a bit of an impact.

The old man was actually very angry, but every time he wanted to get angry, he looked up at the guy who was sitting cross-legged and taller than he stood up, and then looked at the fist that was bigger than his head, he immediately thought of this guy's record, and then swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and by the way, swallowed his anger too, forcing himself to continue making tea.

After leaving, the oil girl Tetsumaru went to the castle town for a stroll, bought a few local specialties, tasted it and found it very unpalatable, barely filled his stomach, and left without looking back.

Don't come again next time, just let the shadow clone come over and respond, it's a waste of time.

Shadow clone: ......, the main body, I beep ~~~~, you beep ~~~~

……

After returning to the island, the oil girl Iron Pill was dumbfounded, the whole fungus blanket turned a snow-white color, and it was still wilting, and even a few pieces had withered, and even the chrysalis with the mother nest were shaking.

The oil girl Iron Pill hurriedly went up to check, could it be that the fungus blanket was invaded by another fungus? It won't be so unlucky.

The results of the examination are actually very simple, poisoning, sodium chloride poisoning, that is, eating too much salt.

The thing is very simple, the growth and development of the fungus blanket has too much demand for water, and the oil girl Tetsumaru thought that there was fresh water on this island to neutralize the seawater, but he didn't expect the demand to be too great, so he drained the fresh water in one day. The next step is to extract seawater, which deposits a large amount of salt in the blanket, and the fungi react immediately to metabolize the salt.

However, the metabolized salts accumulate on the surface of the blanket, which in turn displaces the water in the blanket due to osmotic pressure, and then quickly evaporates, further exacerbating the problem of water shortage and forcing the blanket to pump more seawater.

So it's a vicious circle, things are not very complicated, but it is difficult to solve, especially if it has been docked with the brood, which is even more troublesome to deal with.

The oil girl Iron Pill knew that this was caused by her own poor consideration, and now there was no way to take advantage of it, so she could only bite the bullet and go to the marine version of the mother nest in advance.

The most critical system of the marine version of the brood is the salt treatment system, which requires the construction of a function-specific insect building, rather than having the fungus blanket take on the function of processing the salt, and the fungus blanket only needs to transport the waste over.

First of all, rinse the brood and fungus blanket with water, and replenish the water source with fresh water to ensure that the brood will not hang up.

Then immediately dig a cave at the foot of the mountain, build a laboratory, take out the half-finished insects to continue the research, in order to speed up the research, Tetsumaru also divided ten shadow clones to assist him in his work, and started the research of different waste disposal methods.

Since it has been decided to launch the marine version of the mother nest, it is natural to strengthen the utilization of the sea, there is no shortage of water in the sea, there is no shortage of sunlight, and there is naturally no shortage of organic matter.

The area around the island is rich in produce: fish, shellfish, sea crabs, etc. are good sources of protein, and predators are certainly needed.

The larger and larger organic matter in the ocean belongs to plankton, so there must be no shortage of feeding organs under the surface of the sea.

The mineral resources of the ocean seabed are also incredible, and the organs of drilling and mining must not be ignored.

If you look at it from the perspective of the game, the oil girl Tetsumaru has reopened a new base on the island and opened five scientific progress bars.

At this time, there are still more than a dozen progress bars in the base of Konoha Village advancing at different speeds.

I have to say that the shadow clone technique is really a magic skill for scientific research, as long as the amount of chakra is enough, you can divide endless assistants, and there is no need to worry about the lack of skills, and there is no need to worry that the assistant is a fool.

Don't worry about stupid lab dogs operating indiscriminately, and you don't know when you're going to blow up your hard-built lab to the sky.

As for the danger of the shadow clone technique, it's not a problem, as long as you don't steal your laziness and actively pay attention to the progress of your research, you don't have to worry about the mental impact when you lift it, the best of both worlds.

……

Soon the development of the fuchichi was completed, and after several rounds of testing, it was urgently implanted into the fungus blanket, which has a large volume and is capable of accumulating dozens of tons of waste liquid. But the bladder of the brood is not the bladder of the brood, but a digestive organ with a strong decomposition ability: the stomach, the salt transmitted by the bacterial blanket is decomposed and processed into hydrochloric acid and free chlorine molecules, hydrochloric acid is used as the digestive juice of the deep pool, and the free chlorine molecules go through a complex reaction to form toxins, which can be used to better capture animals and can also be used to resist predators.

That's right, populations of rodents on this island have emerged that are able to eat mushroom blankets, and they are evolving and adapting at a rapid pace.

Digestive juices can be used to process animal carcasses and bones more efficiently, breaking down all organic matter into nutrients, which are then absorbed by the inner walls of the abyssal pool.

After a few days, the filter-fed kelp was successfully grafted onto the fungus blanket, replacing part of the organs that obtain water from the seawater, and the filter-feeding kelp has a large surface area, which absorbs the seawater while filtering out plankton and small fish and shrimp, and then compresses the food into a ball and is transported by the insects to the deep pond for processing.

A little more than a month later, the oil girl discovered that there was no longer a need for predators, and that filter-feeding kelp had absorbed nutrients from the seawater, leading to a small-scale ecological catastrophe in the nearby marine ecosystem.

Because the plankton population has plummeted, the small animals that feed on it have to flee from hunger, or simply starve to death, and the large animals have migrated with the small animals.

The entire island is surrounded by dense kelp forests, but there is not much animal activity left.

I have to say that the animals in the ninja world adapt quickly, and after the rise of terrestrial rodents, the animals in the ocean are also adapting quickly. And there are more types of animals in the sea, and omnivores such as conch, sea urchin, shrimp, and crab soon began to eat filter-feeding kelp, and even the release of toxins could only inhibit them, but could not destroy them.

After the adjustment of the oil girl iron pill, the filter-feeding kelp sacrificed the efficiency of the filter-feeding kelp, greatly improved the surface hardness, increased the spikes of silica, and added toxin killing, and finally there was a kind of small shrimp that resisted all the means and officially became the natural enemy of the filter-feeding kelp.

In the end, the oil girl iron pill can only breed other insects that prey on small shrimp, so as to better suppress the natural enemies of this fungus blanket, and no longer hope to be able to exterminate this nasty shrimp.

Although there are still some unsatisfactory places, the full version of the brood has been built, and in addition to the power of protection, all the needs of the brood are managed by its own subsystem, and there is no longer an external demand.

The next step is to build a pure terrestrial version of the brood as soon as possible, following the successful plan.

Then there is the deep-sea version, which relies on submarine volcanoes for energy, and the eventual space version in a gravity-free environment, which is probably far away.

【Take your time】

The oil girl Iron Pill raised her head, looked up at the stars in the sky, and stretched out her hand to hold it in a void, as if she was grasping countless stars in her hand.

In this life, I will definitely be able to travel the sea of stars.

Sorry, that's all for today's update, I thought I could do five chapters in two days in a row. But Shanghai suddenly let me go, and I quickly took the children back to my hometown to see, and I haven't been back for a few years. I'll try to keep it updated as much as possible during Eleven, but it may be harder to explode. I'll make an IOU here: The sheep owes you six chapters to be updated and to be filled in October. Sorry, sorry.
