Ninja World: Insect Princess from Konoha

Chapter 583 It's All My Vegetable Field
Deep underground in Konoha, the huge root system is exploring and moving forward.

Different from the dense root network of many trees connected to the upper layer, these root tentacles are much larger, the small ones are several meters in diameter, and the large ones are tens of meters thick.

As a special root system for punching, there are various hole punching methods.

Like mycelium, it grows and drills through the soil.

The growth power of life is particularly strong, even if it is a hard wall of reinforced concrete and stubborn stone, in the process of germination and growth, it will forcefully squeeze out a gap with its tenacious vitality.

The advantage is that it is stable and the construction noise is small, but the disadvantage is that it is slow and it is not easy to grow a little meat.

There are many hidden spaces dug out by humans in the underground of Konoha, such as ants' nests arranged in a criss-cross pattern, and the entire underground is basically as empty as insects.

After Meiji moved in, this situation became even worse.

Day after day, Miki would persistently and diligently dig a hole under Konoha.

Thinking back to the MC back then, Mei Ji could stay underground for half a year, no matter what, she was also an underground king.

Just like building a secret castle, digging holes is simply not too much fun.

Miki’s happiness is so simple and boring. If she digs a small shiny gem midway, she can enjoy it for half a day, and every hidden underground room in Konoha is a blind box waiting to be opened for Miki. Even if you open it and see that it is all rubbish, you still enjoy it.

With Maggie's diligence and hard work, the underground space structure was destroyed.

The effect is like a termite nesting dam, which will be washed away sooner or later.

In order not to collapse suddenly, the whole village spiraled up to the sky, and the huge root system of the tunnel worm was like the roots of plants and trees, which played the role of soil consolidation.

After digging out the underground of Konoha, Miki naturally turned her eyes to the forest outside the village.

If you rely on the way of growth to gradually explore outwards, the mycelium on the upper layer is fine, because it is thin enough, it will take only a few taels of flesh to spread over it, and the huge roots underground need to be extended to a certain distance, which will not be possible in a short time. things done.

So, how did Miki dig from Konoha to the border of the Land of Winds?

The solution is reproduction, which can also be simply understood as the division of offspring like a slug fairy.

There are two ways of division, one is to release spores to complete a life cycle, that is, reproduction, and the other is to perform self-replication and division like a slug.

The purpose of saving the two modes is to resist natural risks. When encountering difficult diseases, it can also be dragged through breeding to escape the golden cicada, so as not to be taken away by a pot.

The interesting thing is that the gametes of tunnel worms are called sex cells, and their sex is determined by three loci, namely A, B, and C. Each strain can form gametes of eight sexes, while A has sixteen Version, B has fifteen versions, and C has three versions, which can form sixteen times fifteen times three, a total of 720 genders.

Maggie has both genders you can understand and genders you don't understand.

Through gametogenesis, the formation of zygote begins, mitosis occurs, and it becomes a mass of plasmodium with many nuclei.

This period is known as the metamorphosis.

In Yanyin Village, the ninjas who were parasitized at that time spit out these little bugs.

Its characteristic is that at this stage, there are many kinds of complete metamorphosis directions.

What it can become depends on Maggie's gene pool.

It looks like a slug, crawling, moving and eating like crazy.

When the food is exhausted, these metamorphoses will gather together, and then form a net shape, changing the surface area according to food, water and oxygen, etc. This period is called the vegetative period, and it has basically become the complete form of the tunnel worm.

If the nutrition accumulated before is enough, once the body is formed, it will already be very large.

So what should Miki do to carry out expeditions to expand the sphere of influence?

One is the release of spores.

Nydus worms will produce fruiting bodies, and the fruiting bodies release spores. The spores are blown by the wind and then rupture. After landing, they form amoebas, accumulate nutrients, drill into the soil, and become reticular bodies after maturity, which is the form of mycelium. The mycelium and The hyphae dock with each other, recycling redundant and overlapping mycelial lines, forming a huge network covering the forest.

It is not 100% successful in breeding, but the large quantity is sufficient, relying on the accumulation of time and quantity, it gradually spreads and entrenches the forest.

Therefore, I tried to build a light sail exploration system, and launched a large number of spores into the universe.

Launched, but not fully launched.

Because the following is gone, Maggie is not clear about the situation of the swarm spores in the universe, whether they have deviated from the course, and whether they have successfully landed on the planet.

The conclusion is that when the brain is hot, a sum of expenditure was wasted, and a lesson has been learned.

The second is split.

The main body of the tunnel worm splits directly, and one of the tentacles breaks and re-morphs into the juvenile amoeba form. Compared with the former amoeba, because of its large size, it needs to support huge organs and skeletons, and then dig holes, all the way to the north.

The shape resembles some kind of giant worm.

In order to punch holes quickly, a certain degree of specialization is also required.

At the beginning, the acid was secreted to break through the ground. The acid of the slug fairy is very powerful, but under high-intensity work, it is easy to stop cooking. It is really impossible to spit it out, and there is no drop. Especially when encountering certain substances, the acid will not move. .

Followed Meiji to load the Tudun, the effect is there, but not much, the problem is that the soil layer is loose, but it has not disappeared, and it still has to stop when encountering some large rocky rock veins that block the road.

Use your teeth to bite stone, iron ore, copper ore, silver ore or gold ore, and your teeth will easily collapse.

Simply put, Meggie installed the drill in a simple and rude manner.

Therefore, it had to pick up the mechanical structure of biological gears discovered long ago, and continue to develop in depth.

Imitate the small flagellar motor of single-cell flagella, and complete an enlarged version of the biological muscle transmission rotor.

It is characterized by low energy consumption, cheap and affordable, and is suitable for high-intensity continuous shaft rotation.

At present, it has become Maggie's standard drilling tool, which can be drilled underground according to the planned route, and can be recycled when not in use.

It is worth mentioning that the drill bit itself, a solid metal drill bit can be used, Miki collected a lot of minerals during the digging, adding a little bit of this, and a little bit of that, growing out of the integrated shell, which can be called shell material, Without technology, it all depends on blindness, but due to the ratio problem, it has been unsatisfactory.

With a lot of things at hand, Mei Ji, who lost her patience and gradually became irritable, changed her mind and installed a barrier.

The strength of the barrier is freely controllable, and it is driven by the muscle rotor to rotate.

The problem was solved, and then it was optimized from an engineering device to a melee weapon by Miki. It made its first appearance half a month ago, and ran hundreds of streets underground with a certain Uchiha.

The rock formations along the way are no different from tofu in front of Meggie.

Having said that, why are you obsessed with digging holes in the ground.

It is to build a concealed underground transportation network to quickly and covertly transfer the insect swarm.

In the past, not only did they take such a covert route when they raided the Kingdom of Wind, so as to avoid the detection of Sha Yin, they successfully raided under their noses in one fell swoop.

When dealing with Yun Yin, the underground passage built also played a role.

In addition to concealment, large heavy units can also be quickly transferred and deployed through waterways.

Otherwise, Mei Ji's crocodile will climb to the front line, and the day lily will be cold.

Right now, Maggie is digging a hole to connect to the complex waterway system in the Land of Rain, deploying the monster in the water, Gustav the giant crocodile.

You like guerrilla warfare, you like digging holes, you like to hide in the grass and squat in the river, right?

Meggie likes it too.

The terrain of the rainforest, with its complex and well-developed water network, is a natural battlefield for ambush young geniuses in the water.

To put it bluntly, once the water network is occupied, the transportation network for Yuyin's transfer of guerrillas will be cut off in a different direction, the battlefield will be divided, and the area where the ninja troops are located will be locked.

In addition, drilling holes is also for resources.

There are abundant underground resources. A long time ago, Maggie used biogas to generate electricity and provide lighting equipment for underground bases.

At that time, Orochimaru was like a bumpkin entering the city, and Harazi almost fell out.

Minerals and the like are of little use to Meggie for the time being, but it is not too little to subsidize the family.

There are many mines with owners in Konoha. Miki went straight to the target from the ground, but no one has ever discovered it.

Well, heaven and earth are treasures, and the virtuous live there.

More are undiscovered unowned resources.

Such as natural gas, such as oil or something.

For natural gas, tunnel worms are used to pull pipelines, and the village will basically bid farewell to the age of briquettes.

As for oil, as a biomass deposit, Mei Ji considered whether it was edible and how to eat it so as not to kill herself.

Are there creatures that can eat oil?
Have!
When this anaerobic archaea was discovered, Maggie was ecstatic.

As the blood of the industrial age, the most important oil.

A huge piece of pie suddenly fell from the sky and was sent to Mei Ji's mouth, and Mei Ji was a little dizzy at that time.

Now Meiji announces that all the oil fields are my vegetable fields, and I am in a hurry with whoever gets a share of the pie.

Kill, must kill.
