The military movement pursued by Shinobi is different from the high-speed walking of ninjas, and is the normal marching speed of normal humans.

Except for baggage and cavalry, all other soldiers walked.

Because there was no surprise attack, there was no need for concealment, and they followed the straight path built by the Fire Nation.

In particular, the transportation network is not particularly developed, and the condition of this dirt road is not very good.

Unlike ninja marches, they often take hidden trails and dangerous roads, that is, detours.

This kind of road cannot be walked by Renfeng, and it is often necessary to travel lightly.

Therefore, if we travel quickly one day and one night, we will cover more than 100 kilometers.

For a ninja, it's just over an hour's journey.

This is when the road conditions are good. In reality, we cannot travel at high intensity all day and night. We need to camp, rest, make a fire to cook, and it will take at least a week to reach the nearest city.

After marching three hundred miles hastily, the crossbow is at its end and cannot be penetrated. This is a taboo for military strategists.

Just in terms of rapid maneuvering and rapid insertion, a comparison between ninjas and ordinary people widens the gap between heaven and earth.

However, this shortcoming can be effectively circumvented.

One is to build roads, and the other is to provide transportation.

For example, underground high-speed tunnel personnel carrier.

Meiji has long been prepared for this kind of plan, and the tunnel worms were born for this purpose. However, due to the more efficient psychic transfer, it has not been fully launched. The tunnel has been repaired, but only a little.

It took Miji a lot of time to open an underground tunnel from Konoha to the border of the Kingdom of Wind.

It is too late to dig new tunnels now, but they still have to be dug.

In order to build a nationwide high-speed transportation network without destroying the surface scenery, Meiji launched the planet's underground logistics tunnel project.

If you look through the deep strata, you can see such a spectacular scene.

Under the giant trees in Konoha Village, huge and dense root systems are pierced deep into the earth like spider webs, spreading in all directions.

The prototype of the Nydus Worm is slime mold, which integrates the characteristics of slug immortals and other species.

It is an amoeba that resembles a mushroom. It is neither an animal nor a plant. It is somewhere between an animal and a fungus. It looks like a slug. It is white, tender and cute.

To be precise, the main body of the Nydus Worm is a filamentous network buried deep underground, and the giant tree part above the ground is a reproductive organ similar to a mushroom.

There is no doubt that of course you can eat it.

As long as the bark as a protective shell is broken open, it is full of edible fungi. If she is willing, Meiji can also secrete toxins.

It is not used as a reproductive organ per se.

On the contrary, compared with making such huge mushrooms, for Meiji, a more suitable solution is to have small mushrooms blooming all over the mountains and plains.

Its main function is to store excess nutrients, that is, biological energy, and to refine and store chakra.

Using toxins to repel and warn looters is cheaper and more effective than protecting property with wooden casings.

The umbrella is red and has a white pole, and we lie down together after eating.

The current function is mainly to provide shelter and shelter for humans in a symbiotic state.

In recent years, Mei Ji has spent almost all her profits on this tunnel worm, and has worked hard to cultivate such a huge colony.

It is currently recovering its capital, and it is expected that in three years, it will be a pure profit.

The veterans of Iwagakure Village, the tunnel worm that was kindly sponsored by Konoha, was the daughter of the tunnel worm in Konoha. The two were related to each other as mother and daughter.

As for the Nydus Worms on Konoha's side, they seemed to be several, but actually they were just one.

It's just that the body is too large to support movement, so it splits apart, just like a slug has to stop expanding in order to preserve its little mobility and the dignity of an animal.

Continue to look at the silk-mesh root system of the Nydus Worm.

This is a complex mycelial network, with dense threads extending in all directions, connecting to the roots of trees underground in the forest.

After being connected, steal, rob, cheat, and exploit.

No, eating based on your ability is called the sharing economy.

In recent years, the farthest point has touched the edge of the Konoha Forest. In other words, the entire Konoha Forest is within Miji's sphere of influence. The working trees continuously absorb sunlight and transform nutrients 24 hours a day throughout the year. And give Meiji part of the protection fee.

To put it figuratively speaking, he is a vendor selling vegetables in the vegetable market. He symbolically pays Mei Ji one or two yuan for stall fees and management fees.

Meiji is not a philanthropist.

In fact, in Meiji's hometown, there is also the world's largest orphan mushroom, which also works like a rogue.

However, she is much more domineering. Within her sphere of influence, she does not allow other orphans to take a sip of soup. She is the only one within hundreds of miles. The trees are all herded by her sheep, and she takes care of them with all her heart.

Mei Ji left soup for other mushrooms, so the root system under a tree is often wrapped with more than one kind of mycelium.

In this way, the tree will not be able to bear it, but the benefits of sharing will come. For poor households, resources can be mobilized through the mycelial network to provide appropriate subsidies to allow them to grow healthily and robustly.

The symbiosis between most mushrooms and trees is a voluntary exchange of materials, each getting what it needs.

As for harmful pathogenic hyphae, Meiji will also help clean them up.

Until one day, it was either struck by thunder or caused disaster by the woodpecker, the forest doctor.

Only then will her working life end, and Mei Ji will tearfully decompose the remaining value nutrients and make room for the growth of Houlang.

For a while, you won't see any obvious benefits in just a few years, but if it continues, it will be a huge asset in a hundred, a thousand, or ten thousand years.

Even though it’s great to be at the top of the food chain and eat meat, picking up trash also has unique benefits.

You have to take a long-term view, and Meiji doesn't want to be happy for a while.

Therefore, the larger the territory, the greater the benefits.

Slogans like setting fire to the mountains and sitting in jail must not only be established, but also legislated and strictly enforced.

Therefore, the hyphal network is divided into three layers: upper and lower.

The shallow network close to the surface belongs to the upper toll network and is responsible for the operation and management of the forest surface ecology and a part-time monitoring system.

What you need to know is that plants are not stones. Although they are different from humans, they still have signal receiving organs that can sense and transmit information from the outside world and respond.

Typically, when a fire breaks out, trees will notify other trees through the underground mycelium network, and these trees will take response measures according to different species. Some species that have no response means will just open up, while some species will take advantage of the fire. .

For example, Bai Jue's Wood Release and Mayfly Technique can be quickly transferred through the root system of underground trees. Once it enters Meiji's sphere of influence, it is impossible to hide it from the monitoring network set up by Meiji.

Even when passing through the surface forest, through the analysis of pheromones, Meiji can quickly distinguish whether it is a bug or a small animal, what type, and how many.

Compared with the good life of the mother here in Konoha, the daughter in Iwagakure Village is living a poor life without food and clothing. It will take some time for that place where birds do not **** to develop. For a long time in the future, only Being able to huddle underground in Iwagakure Village and develop steadily.

The difficulty is that development will be very slow due to the lack of natural resources.

Predatory extraction of resources can certainly accelerate this project.

It feels good for a while, but when the time comes to restore natural resources, it will be a crematorium.

Now the people of Iwagakure Village, even if Meiji does not continue to persecute, still can't get out of bed. The lost flesh will have to grow back, and the sequelae are still there, and it will take a long time to recuperate.

Even if Konoha's Tunnel Worm has grown to this size, Meiji has invested a lot of money, thus reducing part of the insect swarm expenses and maintaining a long-term constant troop size to save expenses.

Due to the existence of three types of networks, its size is like an iceberg floating on the sea, far larger than the tip of the sea that can be seen.

Just the upper mycelium network that crisscrosses the forest and connects all the trees in all directions, if dug out and piled up, its huge tonnage is astonishing and unbelievable.

Not only does it require resources to generate, but daily damage and maintenance are also a considerable expense.

This forced Mei Ji to activate the war machine of the insect swarm during the war to temporarily produce war output.
