Build the Swarm Tech Tree in Konoha

Chapter 236 The third generation insect swarm led by Thunder Beast

The most surprising thing about Corpse Vein is the discovery of the "Ash Bone" gene fragment. This discovery represents the first time that the Aburame Tetsumaru have come into contact with the power of the Blood Successor Snare, and even the avatar directly confirms that his name is "Ash Bone".

"bone".

The discovery of the "Grey Bones" gene fragment even caused the overall design of the "Thunder Beast" to turn around again, from an arsenal ship version to an all-around version with close range impact.

Although the power of Ash Bones is very different from the legendary "killing Ash Bones together", in actual verification, it has shown irresistible destructive properties.

In order to use the "ash bones" that injure oneself before injuring the enemy, one can only wrap the ash bones with huge bones, and use the high-speed bone regeneration brought by the corpse bone veins to bear the damage of the ash bones. To this end, the Thunder Beast added two pairs of

The most powerful offensive weapon is the huge gray bone scythe with a total length of 24 meters.

As the strongest attack element, ash bones are embedded in the sickle blade, with a width of three centimeters. There are two ash bones with a width of 4 millimeters on the back of the scythe. The three ash bones finally converge on the tip of the sickle.

Although the thin gray bones are almost invisible on the huge bone sickle, this is already the limit of the Thunder Beast's vitality. If it has any more, its bone cell recovery ability will not be enough to withstand the destructive nature of the gray bones.

During the test, when faced with Erdo's six-meter-thick battleship armor plate, Ultralisk's Ashbone Scythe could pierce through it with just one blow, and the corrosion-resistant and rust-resistant armor plate rusted and rotted the moment it was broken open.

, there is absolutely no room for redress.

The Gray Bone Scythe does more damage to living creatures. Even if it is a brood, as long as the Gray Bone Scythe pierces the outer shell, it will immediately fall into weakness. If the Gray Bone Scythe has been inserted into the wound, the wound will be less than half a meter.

It will continue to cause damage, leading to the death of the huge brood nest within forty-eight hours. Even all the buildings attached to the brood nest, the carpet on the ground, and the bugs that failed to leave in time will not escape the fate of death.

But the Ashbone Scythe is too big. During the Erdo War, there were only giant aerial fighters and giant mechas that were suitable targets. The only imaginary enemies in the ninja world were the psychic beasts and tailed beasts of the two holy places.

.

Hmm? The thunder beast came at a good time, just at the right time.

Aburame Tetsumaru was happy, but was worrying about how to deal with Kyuubi. Without a big guy to act as a human shield, Kyuubi's actions could not be stopped. It could run away wherever it wanted, and Konoha Village would inevitably suffer major damage.

Now that we have the Thunder Beast, the problem is solved. The huge body with a height of 75 meters and a length of 135 meters is definitely not something that Kyuubi can control at will. It weighs more than 4,000 tons and is close to Kyuubi.

You will definitely not suffer in wrestling.

The reason why the Ultralisk became so huge was because of the huge investment in the long-range attack system during the early development process. Aburame Tetsumaru was unwilling to give up, and he was unwilling to start another giant combat unit project, so the Ultralisk could only be used as a dual-purpose unit.

With the function of an arsenal ship, its body could only continue to expand, and eventually it became such a behemoth.

Not only does it possess the ninjutsu organs of the Giant Wind Insect and the Giant Thunder Insect, but it also has the production system of the Bomb Locust in its body, producing such suicidal bugs anytime and anywhere until the storage space is full.

until.

In order to accommodate the huge weapon system, the previous experimental version of the Thunder Beast was forced to adopt the form of a centipede, with a height of only four meters and a length of an astonishing 600 meters.

On the one hand, the long snake form is most efficient when carrying a huge burden. On the other hand, it must reduce the burden of the huge weight on the exoskeleton, and it must be able to withstand the powerful tail flames when the explosive locusts are launched intensively.

But the centipede-shaped Thunder Beast is not popular with Aburame Tetsumaru. It looks awkward no matter how you look at it, and its ability to pass through the ground makes people scratch their heads.

A good thing like the Bomb Locust has been idle for a long time because its mobility is too poor to keep up with the speed of the insect swarm. The mobility of the currently developed carrier insects is still severely limited, which cannot meet the original purpose.

Aburame Tetsumaru has struggled with this for a long time. Should he reduce the carrying capacity of the Bomb Locust? Or abandon the production system of the Bomb Locust? Or should he reduce both at the same time?

Fortunately, there was a breakthrough in the research on corpse bone veins, and with the acquisition of this kind of blood inheritance that can greatly enhance the strength of bones, the Thunder Beast was finally able to stand up.

Its length has been greatly shortened, and the cumbersome three hundred calves have become six super giant legs. Its stride height exceeds ten meters, its stride width exceeds forty meters, and its traffic capacity has reached excellent levels.

The Thunder Beast has finally grown into the familiar look of Aburame Tetsumaru, which is a joy to behold.

From this, the battle mode of the Thunder Beast is determined. After encountering the enemy, it will first pour 400 bomb locusts ten kilometers away, and then rely on the wind cannon and plasma thunderball to cover its assault at the mid-range.

, and finally use the Gray Scythe to deliver a fatal blow to the enemy at close range.

As long-range attack units, the combination of Ultralisk and Hydralisk was much more reasonable and far more powerful than the combination of Giant Wind Insect and Giant Thunder Insect, so these two bugs were eliminated from the insect swarm.

Of course, only the eight-legged Thunder Bug of the ground force has been eliminated. The orbital version of the Thunder Bug still exists, and the planet defense version of the Tower Bug is flourishing and is being produced at full capacity.

Along with cockroaches and two giant insects, the praying mantis was also eliminated.

When Aburame Tetsumaru designed the mantis to replace the sword mantis, he used the warrior insect of the Araki Zerg as a model, exchanging a slender insect body for a smaller rate of being shot. It has been proven to be effective through actual combat.

But as the insect swarm grows larger and larger, who would have thought that when the insect swarm numbered in the tens of thousands and was attacked by thousands of ninjas with intensive firepower, the low vulnerability rate of a single insect would not be transmitted to the group at all.

This turned out to be a false advantage.

In a large-scale battle, a slender body is meaningless. Those with thick skin and long health bars that can carry and recover health are the insects with the highest survival rate.

So Aburame Tetsumaru used the Zerg Zerg Zerg's Zerglings as a template, and the redesigned cannon fodder unit was called Zerglings.

Except for the sword limb of the mantis, which was retained, the springtail has been almost completely redesigned. The body is thick and strong and filled with fat. The body is covered with thick bone armor, and there are tumor-like bone protrusions on the armor to enhance defense.

In order to support its strong body, springtails have four thick legs and five wide toes to expand the landing area and avoid sinking into soft ground.

In order to maintain balance when running and jumping, a balancing tail is also added, extending the total length of the springtail to 6.5 meters.

In order to improve the recovery ability, springtails have slug genes transcribed in their bodies, which have the ability to regenerate at high speed. No matter how serious the injury is, it can consume fat to quickly heal the wound.

After a series of improvements, the springtail's survivability in the face of intensive firepower has been improved to the extreme. Its weight has also reached an astonishing eight tons, and its assault capability is better than that of the mantis.

…

In addition to the major breakthroughs in the research on corpse veins, the chemical industry department in the industrial zone also made major breakthroughs. They successfully synthesized total nitrogen particles.

To describe it in one sentence, this thing is a super explosive.

Humans have invented many explosives, starting from black powder, to yellow explosives, picric acid explosives, TNT explosives, and RDX explosives. The development process of explosives is to constantly pursue the maximum power on the basis of ensuring safety and stability.

After breakthroughs in molecular dynamics, it was confirmed that the power of explosives is related to the number of chemical bonds of nitrogen particles in its molecules. Nitrogen atoms can combine with nitrogen atoms to form molecules, thus predicting the existence of full nitrogen molecules. In theory, this

This molecule is the maximum power that a chemical energy explosion can achieve.

However, the stability of molecules in which nitrogen atoms are combined with each other is extremely poor. Almost all compounds decompose themselves within a few microseconds after being generated. The energy cannot be released and become explosive, and cannot exist stably for a long time.

Now Aburame Tetsumaru has finally created a stable all-nitrogen molecule, which is a macromolecule with a three-helical structure composed of sixty-six nitrogen atoms.

The total nitrogen molecules are solid at room temperature, in the form of cube crystals with a side length of one millimeter. They will not burn, are not soluble in water, cannot be detonated by ordinary impacts, and have excellent stability.

The measured power is beyond imagination. Theoretically, the energy of a total nitrogen molecule is ten times that of TNT, but the destructive power produced during the explosion exceeds forty times that of TNT.

It will not explode after being ignited by thermite, but will burn violently and release a large amount of gas. In other words, this thing can be stuffed into the warhead as an explosive, or it can be stuffed into the engine as a solid fuel.

With such excellent explosives appearing, there is nothing to hesitate about. Aburame Tetsumaru directly improved the Bomb Locust and Baneling Bug.

The Bomb Locust no longer distinguishes between the warhead and the engine, but merges the two into one, which directly increases the range by two times. If you don't care about the reduction in power, it can fly further.

Once it hits an enemy at close range, the Bomb Locust can detonate all the fuel at the same time, maximizing the power of the explosion.

After the explosion power was greatly increased, there was no need for the bomb locust to be so big. The body length was reduced from three meters to 60 centimeters, the diameter was also reduced by half, and the total volume was one-twentieth of the original.

Only a bomb locust of this size can store up to 400 in the body of the Ultralisk.

Aburame Tetsumaru's improvements to the Baneling Bug were even more exaggerated. Not only was the size reduced to one-fifteenth of its original size, but its appearance even changed to resemble a water spider, because it could be closer to the ground.

Without affecting the running ability of the spider-like baneling bug, Aburame Iron Pill has added two additional layers of hard and cracked shell to it, which not only increases the defense, but also produces a large amount of fragments when it self-destructs, increasing the damage.

force.

At this point, the second-generation giant insect swarm has been completely retired, and the third-generation insect swarm headed by Thunder Beast has been officially completed.

The overall style of the Zerg Swarm has been changed from the Araki Zerg to the Zerg Zerg, which is more suitable for the large-scale firepower battlefield of the interstellar era, and its combat effectiveness has been greatly improved.

Just when Aburame Tetsumaru was happily admiring the new insect swarm, Dice suddenly raised a question: "What about the air force? What about the space arms? The new bugs in the insect swarm are all ground troops, so there is no use for this."

"And we don't have any enemies in the ninja world that we need to deal with with large insect swarms, right?"

"Even if the entire ninja world unites and comes together with the 100,000 White Zetsu, the previous generation of insect swarms and space-based weapons will be enough to deal with it."

"The really troublesome enemies are super strong individuals, not weaklings like the Third Raikage, but Senju Hashirama, Uzumaki Nagato, and Six Paths Madara. Can the new insect swarm deal with them?"

Faced with the question about the dice, Aburame Tetsumaru thought about it carefully and said: "Senju Hashirama can barely beat, Uzumaki Nagato should not be able to beat, and Six Paths Madara is completely useless."

Aburame Tetsumaru stopped Dice's rebuttal and said first: "Dice, please listen to me first. It is true that the third generation insect swarm cannot do anything to these top powerhouses, but it is no longer a fragile existence that these enemies can kill at will.

.”

"As long as your stance is not demanding total victory, you will find that the new insect swarm is enough to deal with Six Paths Madara. Without hesitating losses, it can even force him to lose a foothold in the ninja world."

After hearing Aburame Tetsumaru's words, Dice felt as if he had been hit by a stick on the head. After being stunned for a while, he said: "Sorry, there is something wrong with my own mentality. I am too demanding for perfection."

"When our strength is not enough to defeat our opponent, we should first find a way to make the enemy helpless against us and draw the opponent into a stalemate, and then consider counterattack to win. The plan led by the Cocoon Builder is correct."

The explorer of the fifth planet, who named himself Jupiter, spoke: "But we must have six-level combat power and must be able to suppress these powerful enemies. Otherwise, when the strength of both of us is reversed, this super strong individual will have to fight against

We are engaged in guerrilla warfare, tsk tsk.”

Everyone who heard this shuddered. When encountering this situation, everyone was like dancing on the tip of a knife, because after the reversal of light and darkness, no one can guarantee their own safety. Once discovered by the enemy, they cannot stop them.

Can't resist either.

If there is no way to confront the six-level enemy head-on, then we can only give up the goal of occupying and winning, and fight the enemy in a bad war until the end. Such a war is meaningless.

Perhaps when the enemies understand that neither side can do anything to the other, they will accept the reality, and each side will take a step back and rebuild peace through compromise.

But the problem is that the enemy is an individual whose power is attributed to himself, and the impact of emotions may be greater than the impact of interests. In other words, the compromise of interests cannot effectively restrict the outbreak of war. As long as it cannot directly threaten the life of the other party, the overall risk of war will be

Uncontrollable.

This is why long-term peace can be maintained only with the emergence of nuclear weapons.

Is it because nuclear weapons are too powerful and powerful enough to destroy mankind?

No.

Is it because only nuclear weapons can achieve balance, and all previous destructive forces cannot achieve balance?

No, because nuclear weapons never strike a balance.

The real reason is indeed that nuclear weapons are powerful enough to finally kill those in power, the small group of privileged people who directly decide whether to launch a war. When they themselves will be killed, they will naturally be extra cautious in launching a war.

.

Therefore, even if the goal is not to destroy the opponent, one still has to have the force to kill a strong person at the Six Paths level.

Sheng Yangyu was a little discouraged. He said: "The insect swarm has developed so far that there is not even a single hero. How can we pursue higher power?"

Aburame Tetsumaru suddenly said: "The hero is not far away, I have made breakthrough progress here."

"ah?"

"That's why I said August is the harvest season."
