Starting with rogue ninjas, building the insect kingdom.

Chapter 141 Experiments Underway, Royal Capital Completed

Chakra is formed by the fusion of spiritual energy and cellular energy, and ordinary viruses cannot interfere with the spirit.

This is its most terrifying aspect: it doesn't directly interfere with the mind, but rather puts ordinary people into a state of heightened arousal. When a person's body is in a state of heightened arousal, their mind also becomes heightened, releasing a large amount of mental energy.

These dissipated spiritual energies will synthesize chakra under the influence of this special chakra virus. Initially, it is quite difficult, and may require several days of heightened excitement, or even up to a week of insomnia.

However, once the body begins to synthesize chakra, this virus will help you endlessly refine the chakra in your body, accelerating its generation and reproduction until it completely drains and empties you.

If this virus were to spread, it would be a huge disaster for ordinary people in the ninja world.

Of course, some junior ninjas or special individuals with a large amount of chakra might be able to sustain this virus; or those with extremely precise chakra control and mastery of sealing techniques might be able to compress the virus into a very small space.

Even if this method cannot completely prevent the virus from invading, it can indirectly solve the problem, and in a critical moment it can even completely detonate the virus, saving one's life, at most only shortening one's lifespan.

However, once a person with no resistance is invaded, unless they are treated by a medical ninja like Tsunade, they will slowly have their body energy depleted, leading to malnutrition and death from complete exhaustion.

Or it could be due to excessive excitement, overuse of the brain, or prolonged lack of rest that leads to sudden brain death.

Moreover, this virus exists under the ice layer, is extremely cold-resistant, and can survive for 10 minutes at a high temperature of 50 degrees Celsius. The transmission route is also very simple—it can be transmitted through breathing.

"What a terrifying virus!" Aburame Shisei took off his gloves, cleaned out all the items inside the instrument, and burned them to prevent leakage.

He sealed the virus securely in a compartment of a petri dish, determined not to let it see the light of day again until a method of control was found.

The underground palace's laboratory has three levels, and this level is located on the shallow edge of the upper level. It is planned to be completely cleaned and then abandoned.

After Yu Nu Zhicheng turned and left, he ordered the civil engineering insects to completely seal off the area, fill it with mud, and finally push it into the crater fissure.

In another gene editing and grafting laboratory, the original virus number one has been drastically changed.

Under a microscope, it was observed that it changed from its original long strip shape to its current figure-eight curl shape.

Functionally, it is no longer as active as before, but has been weakened considerably. However, it is more stable and has a higher success rate.

If the fusion used to be random and unpredictable, now, although the fusion speed has slowed down by hundreds of times, the success rate has increased from less than one percent to about 13%.

As for successfully synthesizing the Otsutsuki gene, it is still a matter of probability. The current fusion probability is still too low. It's just that the virus has entered an inert period after multiple group drills.

Another point is that the acceleration time of the original energy is insufficient. Allocating 1,500 years for virus research is already the limit.

Although the primordial energy has been increasing after two major battles, the Seven-Tails draws out two thousand years' worth of energy each time it harvests.

In reality, two thousand years is one unit, and the Seven-Tails only needs ten thousand years to complete its first transformation, but it always lies and says it will take twenty thousand years.

After multiple extractions, she has absorbed five thousand years of experience, but apart from being larger and more solidified, there has been no significant breakthrough in essence.

The experiment on this side hasn't progressed much; it mainly involves obtaining the most original Otsutsuki genes through millions of gene stackings with probability.

Three months have passed in the blink of an eye, and as 2018 draws to a close, the ninja world enters a cold winter.

Aburame Shisei finally withdrew from the second experiment. After tens of thousands of attempts and almost exhausting all the materials, he finally managed to fuse a few cells containing the chakra of the three ninja clans.

Of course, this is still half of what a real Otsutsuki cell is, but obtaining the other half does not guarantee a perfect fusion.

Because there are only two remaining clans—the Kaguya clan and the Senju clan—and the final experimental subject to be fused with the cell. Ideally, this experimental subject should come from one of these two clans.

Currently, the only usable materials for the Senju clan are probably Tsunade and the body of the deceased Nawaki.

As for the other ordinary members of the Thousand Hands clan, they have long since dispersed among ordinary people to marry and have children, resulting in a significant dilution of their genes.

The probability of successfully merging the remaining three sets of experiments is 13% multiplied by 13%, then multiplied by 13%.

This is the current probability of him successfully recreating the Otsutsuki—of course, he might succeed on his first try if he's lucky, or he might never succeed.

Because probability is sometimes the least scientific thing to do, especially the larger the value, the slimmer the chance of success.

Looking at the Gene Editing Virus No. 8, Aburame Zhicheng finally shook his head and decided to temporarily seal it away.

Currently, there are still too few scientific instruments available, and many pheromones and hormones cannot be detected using existing technologies. These are the key elements that induce genes to continue to evolve.

Without samples, it's impossible to create them using only energy. Furthermore, relying solely on the natural transformation of culture dishes over time would require far too much energy, potentially taking thousands or even tens of thousands of years, making further research at that point unprofitable.

However, the newly obtained cells are not useless. If implanted into a specific human body, they can enhance the strength of their bloodline limit—for example, expanding the field of vision of the Byakugan, accelerating the opening of the Sharingan, or even restoring some vision to the Kaleidoscope.

Therefore, he planned to use it on Uzumaki Shirai to enhance this disciple's talent and increase her chakra reserves.

Just as he was preparing to conduct his next experiment, the new royal city of the Snow Kingdom was finally completed.

The new city is circular in shape with a radius of ten kilometers, covering an area of ​​31,416 hectares.

The capital city center is a huge circular castle with two floors above ground and two floors below ground: the upper floor is the castle, and the lower floor is the research room.

It contains a geothermal heater and a high-energy thermal generator. The underground drainage system is extensive and interconnected, all excavated by civil engineers.

Looking at the ground, the buildings and houses are arranged in accordance with the eight trigrams.

When Yu Nu Zhicheng first saw it, he couldn't help but marvel at the craftsmanship of these scientists. He had only given them a rough drawing, but they had added so many details to it.

On the day the city was opened, Kazahana Hayate, the daimyo of the Land of Snow, stood atop the highest palace. Months earlier, the people of the Land of Snow had been gradually relocated there by him.

At this moment, each of them had been allocated a house, but they still hadn't filled up this enormous royal city.

He said, "My dear people, our lives will only get better and better in the future!"
