Based on the research of live slugs and Jupiter, they confirmed that the problems in the forest of the herders were caused by the shepherds' own efforts to eliminate the source of the disaster after human intervention in the disaster, thus causing the defects in the forest ecosystem.

After the death of the Abyssal Tree, the Tree Shepherds destroyed the plague-causing bugs, and then they wiped out all the other bugs that gnawed at the trees.

After the death of the insects, which are the bottom consumers, the chain reaction is upward to cause the food chain system to be disordered, the number of predators is greatly reduced, and the number of herbivores is skyrocketing.

But before nature repairs itself, the herders once again do the herbivores other than the insects, and the consumers of the forest are dying out and becoming a purely productive forest.

Purely productive forests, after tens of thousands of years of operation, most of the elements that promote plant growth are locked in themselves, as well as dead trees that have not been able to decompose for a long time.

There are no insects to break up, and relying solely on microorganisms to decompose plant remains is extremely inefficient, and the rate of decomposition cannot keep up with the rate of increase.

As a result, a large number of tree debris gradually accumulated in the forest, which became a sedimentary site for resources.

For the new seeds, this lush forest is actually a green resource desert, and all other resources are scarce except water.

When the seeds fail to develop normally for a long time, the tree will judge that there is a problem with the ecological environment, automatically adjust its reproduction strategy, reduce the number of flowers and fruits, tighten the energy to support itself, and prolong its survival as much as possible.

In the eyes of the herders, the life span of the trees they planted is getting longer and longer, and they are very happy to continue along this path.

Tens of thousands of years later, there are very few plants still blooming in the huge forests of the world on Planet Shepherd III, and even fewer sturdy trees are scarce.

Except for the wind-blown trees, all the forests are silent, and the only ones that are alive are the settlements of Oak, where the flowering trees are nearby.

However, the green-skinned oaks only eat fruits and young leaves, and their diet is particularly monotonous, especially the large-headed trunks of the wrecked trees.

Relying solely on the Orcs and forests cannot achieve an effective energy and material cycle.

In the most vulgar terms, it is that the food is not comprehensive enough, and the pull is not enough.

But the insect colony of Zhou Wenming is different, the worker bees that compound more than 40 kinds of insects can eat from the leaves to the branches, along the trunk and bark, all the way to the roots.

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

The recipe of the worker bee is comprehensive.

In addition to worker bees, Zhou Wenming's production of insects also includes sugar ants that started with oil girl iron pills, and fat insects that provide oil, which are all good for plants.

Oilmaiden Tetsumaru and Jupiter offered to help the Shepherd solve this problem, and Treasure Tree thanked him at the time, but he was not overjoyed.

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

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

But Zhou Wenming is a powerful civilization after all, and as soon as he came, he helped Baoshu act, he couldn't help but give some face, coupled with the repeated persuasion of the live slug, Baoshu took out the former testing ground.

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

So, 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 was duly introduced with pollinating bees.

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

The forest did not decline because it was eaten by insects, the soil became barren due to the excretion of insects, and the forest that felt the changes in the environment was revitalized, and the trees blossomed and bore fruit.

The most important thing is that after the ripe fruit is partially eaten by the insects, the surviving ones also sprout and grow smoothly.

Experiments have proved that even without the natural energy brought by slugs, the ecosystem of the forest can be replenished, and the activity of the forest can be significantly improved and the vitality of the forest can be increased.

After the Zerg fully participated in the energy cycle of the forest, the phenomenon of natural reproduction was fully spread, which is exactly what the herders have pursued for tens of thousands of years.

All the low-level tree pastors who participated in the experiment were overjoyed, and their simple thoughts changed unifiedly, directly affecting the ancient trees, and 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 achieve this vision for a short time, but none of them could continue to operate stably.

However, Zhou Wenming did not invest in any industrial fertilizers on a large scale this time, and it is indeed a surprise to achieve such an effect, and the next thing is to see if it can be sustained.

So under the witness of both sides, the test site was completely closed, and then entered a state of ignorance, if the effect is still good after a year, that is the initial success.

At that point, a larger scale of experiments can be opened up for larger, longer periods of time, in short, there can be no rush.

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

But the oil girl Tetsumaru can't, he forced himself to stay for six months, the relevant negotiations have been completely completed, and the next cooperation between the two sides is progressing slowly, and the next node is even more far away, so he said goodbye to Baoshu and hurriedly returned to the ninja world.

Only the same slow life slugs were left in contact with the herdsman's civilization, and the ancient trees were naturally extremely satisfied.

With no industrial Adventist to replace, poor Jupiter had to return to space and stumble to continue the construction of the Heavenly Gate.

……

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

Time has entered the sixty-fifth year of Konoha, and after careful consideration, Bo Feng Shuimon decided to retire at the age of forty-three, when he was in the prime of life, and gave up the position of Hokage to the fifth generation Hokage.

The twenty-six-year-old Uchiha Itachi overwhelmed Kakashi Hachiki with an absolute advantage in strength, and took over the Hokage hat from the hands of the teacher, the fourth generation of the teacher, and became the rightful Hokage.

Itachi's ascent to the top fulfilled the dream of the Uchiha family, completing an obsession that lasted for half a century, and the people of the Uchiha family rejoiced.

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

There is no way, now that Zhou Wenming dominates the world, leaving only a Konoha Village as a special zone, the Hokage is no longer the superior who was powerful in the world at the beginning, and is really just the village chief of Konoha Village.

What's there to be excited about as a village head, right?

But the Uchiha are just very excited, these red-eyed guys are like this.

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

Uchiha Fugaku's resentment at being overturned by his son vanished, and he looked at his blindfolded eldest son and smiled toothlessly.

Even Sanae Uchiha, who had long since left the Uchiha family and never returned to the village after returning from other timelines, also ran back, just to slap seven or eight loud slaps on the back of Itachi, who was wearing the five generations of Hokage Haori.

To be honest, Sanae Uchiha's strength is really great, Uchiha Itachi was beaten stupidly, pain is one thing, and more importantly: how did Sanae beat Itachi?

Sanae Uchiha laughed and explained, "Itachi's brother's illusion is not flawed, but my sister's eyes have seen more than just a three-dimensional world. ”

"As long as you look at it from a different angle in the fourth dimension, the originally flawless illusion is suddenly full of flaws."

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

Uchiha Itachi's brows furrowed tightly, he couldn't understand the existence of the four dimensions because he was busy with family affairs and focused on illusion cultivation.

"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 have time."

"How do you define the fourth dimension?"

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

Sanae then drew a straight line diagonally through the focal point, and then said, "If you can draw four lines perpendicular to each other, this is the fourth dimension." ”

"Of course, this is just a schematic diagram represented in three-dimensional space, similar to the feeling of drawing a three-dimensional ray diagram on paper, and the fourth straight line that is really drawn is not visible in three-dimensional space."

Uchiha Itachi took off the strip of blindfold covered with sealing runes, and closed his eyes and looked at the schematic diagram drawn by Sanae Uchiha for a long time.

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

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

It is very simple to understand that describing from a high-dimensional perspective is to remove a known concept, but to describe a high-dimensional concept from a low-dimensional perspective is actually to describe a concept that "does not exist", and then combine it with reality.

It's simply something that can't be done.

It's like a born blind person who has no concept of color, color, light and shade in his head, and his understanding of blindness is not "darkness".

If there is one feeling that is similar to that of a true born blind person, it is that when you open one eye and close one eye, the closed eye "sees" the most similar.

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

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

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

In fact, Uchiha Itachi was not able to comprehend the four-dimensional space in the end, and Sanae Uchiha was secretly relieved.

Uchiha Itachi is so genius that he has always put so much pressure on Sanae that Sanae even suspected that he was not human when she was a girl.

Later, seeing a large number of adventers, Sanae Uchiha deeply understood what it means to have someone outside of people, and in terms of the degree of perversion, Uchiha Itachi is still a little worse.

Despite this, being surpassed by her younger brother, who is more than a decade younger than herself, in every way, Sanae Uchiha feels hurt.

Today, I found that the advantage I finally had was an advantage that would not be surpassed by Uchiha Itachi, and Sanae Uchiha was secretly happy in her heart.

After the fifth generation of Hokage Uchiha Itachi ascended to the throne, because of his deep background in Zhou civilization, he began to reform the structure of Konoha Village in a big way without hindrance.

The overall system is in line with the standards of Zhou Wenming, and 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 in one go, and the selection of core leaders has been completed.

The series of actions of the five generations of Hokage went smoothly until Itachi Uchiha made it clear that the current free benefits would be canceled in three years, and there was finally opposition among the ninjas.

However, there was little opposition.

Because the young ninja was unwilling to do this, the money could not fall into their hands.

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

But no one dares to stand up and speak out, after all, cutting off people's financial means is like killing their parents, and they can only worry about themselves.

Moreover, it is too comfortable to be able to hold a lot of money without any risk at the moment, and it is difficult for these worried ninjas to make up their minds, so they have been delaying until now.

The five generations of Hokage stood up to make a change, and these worried ninjas were in favor of it from the bottom of their hearts, and of course they would not oppose it, but actively support it.

With the military force of Zhou Wenming as the background, coupled with the invincible combat power of the five generations of Hokage, combined with a large number of supporters of Konoha Village, the reform formed a brilliant general trend, and no one could resist it.

No one dares to resist head-on at all, even the most daring guy, he can only secretly scold behind his back, but he actively cooperates in person.

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

The fame of the geniuses of Konoha Village has never been false propaganda, but a fact that has been verified by decades of war.

As the attitude of Konoha Village changed, the young ninjas who had been involved in the event began to be organized, and their enthusiasm to participate in social change was at an all-time high.

The geniuses of Konoha quickly stood out, showing superhuman talent in almost every aspect, and suppressing the limelight of the five major countries with the size of a village.

Ranked only behind the Land of Iron and the Land of Tea, it became the third in the ninja world.

The Uchiha Itachi was not satisfied with this, and he pushed Konoha Village to go all out and prepare 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 for the time being, the current state of the Iron Country was too powerful, and it was completely a supergod-like performance, and even made them the capital chosen by Zhou Wenming.
