Chapter 777 The past
Such a huge change involves an astonishing amount of infrastructure construction. If ordinary people are to do it, it may not be completed in three to five years. Ninjas with extraordinary strength can do it much faster.
Of course, amid such gratifying changes, there are also hidden worries that need to be resolved urgently.
The lighthouse bathed in the morning sun stands in a fortress on the top of a hill not far from the bridge. This is a strategic location with five levels of underground space, facing threats from the sea.
At this moment, Daimaru stood on the terrace at the top of the lighthouse, watching the ships coming and going from the port. Not far behind him, Leman said very cautiously:
"The results from the laboratory... are not very good. Even if we try our best to improve it all the time, the degree of salinization in the limited soil layer is still getting more and more serious."
"Can't you find a way to improve it?"
"It's difficult! The technical strength of the seawater desalination plant is still too weak, and the prepared desalinated water has a high salt content. Even if water-saving measures such as pipeline transportation and drip irrigation are used, the temperature here is high and the water evaporation is extremely large... …”
Therefore, some attempts to improve the soil quality are completely vulnerable to the power of nature, even if the ninja has the extraordinary power to change the terrain.
In the final analysis, the ecology here is too fragile, and the artificial cycle is flawed.
Theoretically, with enough water resources, it is still possible to turn deserts into fertile soil, but the price paid may be beyond imagination.
"Human beings can't make the decision for nature. If they forcefully violate the laws of nature, it's not surprising that they will be backlashed. However, we sand ninjas are not weak people who give up easily..."
In the long run, the increasingly serious alkalinization of sand is like an advancing ghost, threatening the safety of Awaji Village at all times, but in the short term, it can still persevere.
"Cultivation of excellent plants, introduction of a group of alkaline-eating animals and plants, increasing population diversity, soilless cultivation and other multi-pronged measures will slow down the rate of sand alkalinization. There is no way now, but maybe we can do it in the future! Also, desalination plants We also need to carry out technical upgrades as soon as possible, because the water quality today is still poor..."
Being acclimatized is a real problem in Awaji Village. Ninjas are strong and strong, adults have strong resistance, and the elderly, weak, women and children are always exposed to water environments with too high mineral content, which is not a good thing.
Leman nodded with understanding:
"These are already being done, but most of our people are puppet masters. They are not very good at analyzing these trace elements and studying their effects on human health. We need the assistance of medical ninjas..."
"I will say hello to the medical team later and ask them to provide support..."
Daimaru waved his hand and made a decision directly. For areas that are too advanced, let professionals do it. At the same time, this also reminded Daimaru that you cannot always focus on one area of puppetry. If there is too much difference in other aspects, there will be bigger problems. negative impact.
Later, after talking about some practical proposals and dealing with the accumulated issues that required Daimaru's decision-making, Daimaru became concerned about the big event at hand.
"Regarding the 'examination room', is there anything else that I need to resolve?"
"Everything goes well! Temari Jonin is a very careful person, and every detail has been done to the best of his ability..."
"That's good!"
Daimaru nodded with some relief,
"A total of 213 candidates, together with the supervising examiners and accompanying teachers, nearly 300 people, can have no problem with their food, clothing, housing and transportation..."
There were 153 candidates for the Chuunin Exam two years ago. This time, there were 60 more candidates. This was the result of slight compression.
The key point is that these people are relatively wealthy ninjas. Awaji Village will provide good food and accommodation, but if you want to get extra enjoyment, you have to pay for it yourself.
For example, the specialty fruit wine that has gained a lot of fame in the ninja world recently, the delicacies of Awaji Village, the sand baths of the Land of Wind, etc.
It's hard to say that after passing the Chuunin Exam, you can still make a lot of money.
In a few days, the first batch of ninjas from other villages will arrive, and the materials transported by sea, land and air are being put into storage in an orderly manner and awaiting use.
"Finally, Temari has the task of being the examiner. There may be some negligence in security. We will fill in some unnoticed loopholes."
Daimaru didn't expect those chuunin and genin to make any great discoveries, as long as they could maintain a minimum order, and he still had to do the task of detecting the clues of the "Akatsuki" organization by himself.
…
Facing the salty sea breeze, Xianglin strolled on the seaside causeway and looked at the pedestrians not far away with interest.
From the distant harbor, busy hustle and bustle can be heard from time to time, drifting in the wind and falling into the ears, complementing the neat buildings in Awaji Village as far as the eye can see.
Because the earth-yellow stone buildings unique to the Land of Wind are too monotonous, Awaji Village also appears diverse in the selection of building materials, and the exterior decorations are also kept as diverse as possible.
Because of this, at the intersection of blue sky, white clouds and sea of sand, a small town that looks full of vitality was born.
Different from the heavy and deep Sunagakure Village, this place is full of high-spirited vitality. This is an atmosphere that can only be found in Konoha Village and a few prosperous towns in the Land of Fire.
After staying in Sunagakure Village for a while, watching several performances of "The Tale of the Bamboo Taketori", and seeing all kinds of scenery over and over again, Xiang Rin followed the business trip south and came to this place that the villagers of Sunagakure Village were talking about. place.
The story of carving out a home in the long yellow sand probably only appeared in the years when Sand Hidden Village was established. Decades have passed, and the Suna ninja has been declining in popularity. It has been a long time since there has been the kind of person who leads the compatriots to overcome obstacles and move forward bravely in order to survive. A hero.
During last year's elders' co-ruling period, many sand ninjas were criticized for their inefficient management, but they only earned enough reputation by pioneering southward.
The middle and upper-class ninjas are more concerned about the victory of repelling the Iwa nin and regaining the lost territory, while the general public is more concerned about the emergence of Awaji Village and Naruto Village.
Glory, profit and survival, people from different classes focus on slightly different things.
The red-haired girl, who was thinking about something, suddenly saw several young people wearing Kusanagi forehead protectors coming from far away. She quickly turned her head away, slightly spreading her forehead hair to cover her face, and waited until they were far away. He breathed a sigh of relief.
"Didn't you recognize it? Such conspicuous red hair..."
Xianglin muttered to herself as she spoke,
"Maybe they have forgotten me!"
The possibility of that little girl with low strength and weak personality to survive alone in the ninja world was too low, and the Grass Ninja Village did not seem to regard their mother and daughter as very important.
"I am such a fool for occasionally hesitating about my identity as a grass ninja..."
Xianglin, who was smiling self-deprecatingly, raised her head, no longer covering herself up, and held her head high, revealing the nature of a stubborn girl.
