Chapter 14 If bees can produce honey, then they can also produce salt!
The next morning, Yuuki was awakened by his 'good biological clock' that he had cultivated over nine years.
"Yushu-ge! Good morning? Congratulations on graduating early. I... I'm off to school now."
Mikoto's cheeks flushed slightly as she placed a delicate breakfast on the table.
"Good morning, Mikoto. Hurry up, don't be late."
After watching 'Steam Princess' Mikoto leave, Yuuki stretched and changed his clothes.
I slept soundly again last night.
After finishing breakfast, he went to the research room where the ant culture dishes were placed.
"The ratio of chakra to mental energy output needs to be adjusted!"
Several stinging ants climbed rapidly inside the petri dish, and Yuuki was channeling chakra and spiritual energy into one of them.
After being injected with a fixed amount of chakra, the stinging ant slowly swelled up, and then—'bang!'—it died.
Yesterday's success seems to have been purely by chance.
If you raise tens of thousands of stinging ants at once, a few lucky ants will always survive.
Insects thrive on the fittest!
Yuuki wiped his hands and began to record his experimental observations.
Different sizes of stinging ants have different tolerance levels for chakra; exceeding the limit may cause them to explode.
To detoxify stinging ants, chakra needs to form a fixed circulation route within the body.
Mental strength plays a certain guiding role.
The combination of the two created a new type of spiritual beast called the Detoxifying Ant.
Therefore, we can conclude that—
He recorded the amount of chakra each stinging ant could withstand, and calculated the mean and mode.
Exclude unreasonable maximum and minimum values.
The remaining data are averaged.
The amount of chakra required to cultivate detoxifying ants can be calculated!
To select even better detoxifying ants, the amount can be slightly increased from the average!
Empiricism!
It's a very simple experiment!
All that's missing before we can mass-produce stinging ants is a series of trials!
Of course, the so-called simplicity only applies to Yuuki.
He possesses a unique spiritual talent and has meticulously observed examples of caterpillars.
Many preliminary steps can be skipped.
If it were another family, they would have to spend a lot of manpower and resources to figure it out from scratch, and there was no guarantee of success.
Therefore, over the years, the Oil Woman family has focused on parasitic insects and rarely made large-scale investments in other insect species.
"If the Detoxifying Ant colony is large, is it possible to breed a new generation that is born with chakra? Parasites have this effect."
Yuuki thought that he could talk to the Aburame family if he had the chance in the future.
After filling the research room with culture dishes of stinging ants with different numbers, he placed the other insects he had bought yesterday on the table.
He was conceiving new ways to scam money... I mean, research plans, and looking for suckers.
Yuuki needs money, and in principle, doing business is definitely a faster way to make money.
However, it requires reliable manpower and connections, the payback period is relatively long, and you may even lose money if you are not careful.
So, what business can be as quick as directly using research funding?
In particular, the ninja world has absolutely no regulatory mechanism for this area.
Flexible coordination of research funds is perfectly fine!
Do not defy the Will of Fire!
In addition, he needs to cultivate a wide variety of insects to deal with more unexpected situations.
For example, it can create isolation barriers, neutralize toxins, prevent fire and theft, protect against acids and alkalis, and increase defense and reduce damage...
A sense of urgency arose in Yuuki's heart.
No, his survival skills are too weak and must be strengthened as soon as possible.
His gaze swept over cockroaches, locusts, butterflies... and when he saw a bee, Yuuki suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
Hey! I have a great idea!
Since bees produce nectar...
Chakra can endow living beings with entirely new functions.
So, is it worthwhile to breed a type of bee that can produce fine salt?
Yuuki, who received a university undergraduate education in his previous life, knows a little about fine salt.
In the crude salt purification experiment, he achieved a purification rate of 102%!
The law of conservation of matter is violated in place!
This is simply a world-changing 'feat'!
Having accumulated relatively more experience in this life, I won't be that outrageous anymore.
Based on practical needs, the technology for refining salt in the ninja world is limited, and fine salt is not cheap.
Yuuki selected the worker bees responsible for collecting honey separately.
Point your index fingers at the bees.
Chakra flowed down the fingertips into the bee's mouthparts.
He attempted to mutate the required sample by methods such as "I'm thinking of adding some mental energy".
One attempt failed.
Ten attempts, all unsuccessful.
Ninety-nine times, failed...
Yuuki's lips gradually turned pale, and a dull ache throbbed in the back of his head—signs of overuse of chakra.
"As expected, the Bloodstained Disease did not disappear after activating the Three Tomoe, and my mental strength increased even faster."
"Currently, the contracted worm can only alleviate the symptoms."
Will mental strength continue to increase indefinitely?
"As for combat, ants are a good choice..."
Yuuki's eyes flickered uncertainly, his three tomoe appearing and disappearing intermittently, and a hopeful smile appeared on his lips.
"We cannot place all our hopes on contracts."
"We must both wait for the system to unlock new features and actively study the extraordinary system."
After lying down for a while and recovering, Yuuki went to the library to apply for a book.
Unlike the Inuzuka and Aburame clans, the Uchiha clan does not rely on summoning beasts.
There isn't much information available about summoned beasts.
Yuuki plans to go to the library first, and then apply to enter the hospital's book stacks after he officially starts working.
...
"hiss."
Yuuki caught sight of the library's bookshelves and couldn't help but gasp.
It's reasonable that the library doesn't contain any powerful ninjutsu.
But other ninjutsu scrolls...
There are only a dozen or so D-rank Five Elements ninjutsu, and judging from the pale yellow paper, it is at least ten years old.
Even books containing speculations about ninjutsu, travelogues, and records of insects and beasts were worn out and in terrible condition.
There are new books too!
All the books, such as "The Birth of the Great Konoha," "An Overview of the Third Hokage's Will of Fire," "On What Makes the Strongest Hokage," and "The Relationship Between the Construction of the New Ninja Academy and the Third Hokage," were brand new!
Yuuki quickly flipped through a few books and felt that his eyes had been polluted.
It lacks any substantial ideas and is filled with empty and tedious praise.
How long can the Hokage's kindness be repaid?
There's no way around it, that's how things are in Konoha. Ninjas just need to risk their lives, while the Hokage has to think much more.
The Third Hokage's rule, seemingly benevolent, was in reality characterized by his overprotective nature. The appearance of a ninja beyond his control was more painful than killing him.
Yuuki pretended to flip through a few copies of 'The Will of Fire' and felt the time was right.
He collected the scattered artifacts in the library, carefully reading, understanding, and copying them one by one.
Among them, several conjectures related to summoned beasts greatly inspired him.
Verifying a hypothesis requires a significant financial investment.
Are you looking for information about summoned creatures?
Yuuki was startled and suddenly felt a chill down his back as a huge and familiar source of chakra appeared behind him.
It matches the chakra outside the ward that night!
Quickly adjust your mindset.
With a slightly puzzled look on his face, he turned around and looked back.
A middle-aged man dressed in a black shirt appeared before them, sporting a goatee and wearing a straw hat belonging to the Hokage.
"Lord Hokage?"
