Chapter 129 Ancient Virus Subdues Two Brothers

"And it's not just that you're slow at forming hand seals; the ninjutsu of your Land of Snow involves far too many hand seals. If you're truly talented, haven't you ever thought about simplifying the hand seals?"

Strengthen your physical skills. The people of the Land of Snow are naturally cold-resistant, with thick layers of fat and strong bones, making them perfectly suited for physical training. You have the conditions and the talent, but you don't know how to utilize them; you lack far too much in terms of inherited skills.

"It's just that this place is covered in ice and snow, and nobody comes here. If it were a good place with treasures, you probably couldn't even defeat the ninjas from Hoshigakure in the Land of Bears."

"What Star Hidden Village?" Feng Hua Nu Tao looked completely bewildered.

Aburame Shisei told him, "It's an organization with about one or two hundred ninjas in a valley of precipitous cliffs and poisonous creatures, but they are all born with short lifespans. However, they have a secret technique called 'Peacock Mystic Art,' which is versatile, with offensive and defensive capabilities, as well as the ability to fly and, when necessary, to scout."

Feng Hua Nu Tao was completely convinced.

It wasn't just their unfathomable power, but also their profound knowledge.

He felt this was an opportunity, a chance to surpass his brother.

He suddenly knelt on the ground and kowtowed, saying, "Mr. Shiraki, please accept me as your disciple! Please teach me to become stronger!"

Aburame Shisei never expected that the younger brother of the daimyo, who was himself a nobleman, would be so casual.

But he didn't rush to agree. Instead, he threw him a book of physical training techniques, which he had researched and summarized over the years.

"Practice diligently, and when you pass the test, I might consider taking you as my disciple."

Aburame Shisei never intended to teach a disciple, but he had to give the other party some hope.

However, training some people is still a good idea, at least so that you won't have to do it yourself all the time in the future.

Afterwards, Aburame Shisei came to the palace again.

At this moment, the young daimyo Kazeka Hayate was actively discussing large steam engines with several researchers.

Upon seeing Yu Nu Zhicheng arrive, he excitedly ran over: "You've come! Quickly take a look at our latest inventions and give us some feedback."

Indeed, Aburame Shisei shared some of his current knowledge a few days ago. Feng Huazaoxue was astonished, even wanting to appoint him as the chief academician of the Academy.

However, Aburame Shicheng rejected this vanity, waving his hand and saying that he was just a traveling merchant who was good at pharmacology and only knew the general idea about mechanical manufacturing. He was not particularly clear about the specific and in-depth aspects. After all, the subject he chose at the time was biochemistry, not mechanical engineering.

However, even this little bit of equipment is enough for them. And because of his guidance, this thermal emitter was developed decades earlier than in the original story, and it is now a semi-finished product. It is believed that it will be ready for use soon.

Yu Nuzhicheng circled the semi-finished instrument and concluded, "The research is very good, but it's useless, and may even be harmful."

Feng Huazaoxue didn't understand and asked, "Why? As long as the transmitter absorbs geothermal heat and melts the glaciers, won't our country become a place where spring is in full bloom?"

"You think this is a good thing?"

Ayumi Shichika smiled and shook her head, explaining to him, "When the far north glaciers melt, it will cause sea levels to rise. At first, it won't be noticeable, but after decades or centuries, will the low-lying areas be flooded?"

Moreover, do you think there's just ice beneath a glacier? It might be freezing ancient viruses that existed hundreds of millions of years ago.

The organisms of that time may have had the ability to resist this virus, but after hundreds of millions of years of evolution, the species are already different and may no longer be able to resist this virus.

If this virus survives and spreads, the consequences will be unimaginable; a major pandemic is foreseeable.

As Aburame Shisei explained, he was also complaining in his heart: I don't know what the original author was thinking, that he would come up with such a plot. Everything about it goes against the norms of geography, history, and biology.

Even if everyone in the ninja world is special, there will always be those who cannot refine chakra, whose bodies are weak, and who cannot even afford the most basic sustenance. How can such physically deficient people resist this special virus?

To verify his hypothesis, Shisei Aburame brought Hayabusa Kazayuki to the Icefield Wormhole.

After his arrival, the area had been developed from the first level to the tenth level. Moreover, after the tenth level, it was no longer permafrost, but entirely ice.

Ayumi Shichika took out a microscope and showed him the viruses that had been taken from the cave. They were quiet when frozen, but they would multiply and divide rapidly as soon as they were thawed.

Feng Huazaoxue looked down at the microscope and saw the rapidly splitting thing. Her scalp tingled, and she involuntarily took a few steps back.

"So once the glacier melts, these things will be exposed?"

"Not in the short term, but definitely in the long term," said Shisei Aburame.

"Does that mean my plans and my research direction were all wrong?"

"Not entirely. You can absorb geothermal energy and not disperse it, but turn it into a source of power, such as for underground electricity generation."

Aburame Shisei first thought of moving this thing into his underground palace, so that he could save on fireflies.

There is even geothermal energy, which can provide hot water and electrical appliances, making it a clean energy source for the present-day Land of Waterfalls.

At this moment, he finally became serious, no longer feigning madness, and asked Aburame Shisei's identity: "Who exactly are you? Why do you have so many strange things? Why... do you have such great strength?"

Aburame Shicheng smiled again and said, "I'm just a businessman who likes the scenery here and wants to travel and rest. I just happen to see that you're not very good at governing the country, and occasionally I feel uncomfortable with it, so I come out to say a few words and incidentally help you govern."

After a moment of silence, he asked the same question as his brother: "Are you here to recruit us?"

"Since you insist on saying that, then so be it."

Anyway, they are basically not strong, and it's not worth him using force.

The next day, the name was still the same, but the situation in the palace had changed. The name had reconciled with his brother.

A dozen or so gossipy officials accidentally tripped and fell on their way home, hitting their heads on the frozen ground and dying!

On that day, the daimyo of the Land of Snow issued a reform plan. The first step he took was to start a population census and rebuild the city.

He wanted to build a large city and relocate the entire population to the capital. In addition, the Snow Country was sparsely populated and covered in ice and snow, with a total population of only 120,000. One city could accommodate everyone.

As for how to solve the problem of food production by coming together?

Feng Hua Zao Xue explained to the public that with the support of a wealthy businessman, there was no need for her to live a scattered life.
