The accelerated growth experiment of dragon blood grass and ice lotus has been verified successfully, but Rinto is not in a hurry to deliver the plan. He dug out the medicinal field planting files sent by the Nara Clan, which details the various risks encountered in the medicinal fields over the years: drought, root rot caused by heavy rains, the widespread spread of pests and diseases, and even large-scale plant death caused by wartime stray bombs and Chakra impact.
Naturally grown medicinal materials take three years to slowly precipitate. They have a high degree of lignification and strong stress resistance, and can cope with most environmental fluctuations. His accelerated plan allows the plants to complete the three-year growth cycle in three months, and the vegetative growth and medicinal effect accumulation have kept up. However, the stress resistance of the plants themselves is still weaker than wild plants. It may not be a problem in carefully maintained medicinal fields, but once a war breaks out, any environmental fluctuations or unexpected impacts may lead to reduced medicinal material production or even no harvest.
What Rinto needs to do is to make up for this shortcoming and design a set of multi-dimensional stress resistance-enhanced configurations so that fast-growing medicinal materials can not only grow quickly and have sufficient efficacy, but also be able to withstand various extreme risks in wartime.
He first extracted the three core risks of medicinal field planting from the Nara file, which are also the three core goals that the configuration needs to solve:
First, pest control. Medicinal materials grow rapidly and have tender tissues, which make them easier to be eaten by pests and infected by fungi. However, manpower is tight during wartime, and it is difficult to achieve refined pest control. Once an outbreak occurs, it is easy to spread over a large area.
Second, environmental stress resistance. Including common planting risks such as drought, waterlogging, extreme temperatures, and fluctuations in soil fertility. It is necessary to improve the plant's ability to tolerate harsh environments and reduce reliance on refined maintenance.
Third, Chakra impact resistance. Once Konoha is attacked, the battlefield is likely to spread to the surroundings of the village. The medicinal fields will inevitably be impacted by stray bullets and scattered Chakra. These impacts will directly damage the cell structure of the plants, causing the plants to wither and die, so protection must be taken in advance.
In response to these three major risks, Rinto did not design a universal configuration, but made three independent and stackable functional modules, which can be perfectly matched with the previous growth acceleration and metabolic enrichment configurations, and can also be used alone to adapt to different medicinal materials and different planting scenarios.
The first module is the pest and disease early warning and immune strengthening configuration.
Traditional pest and disease control requires either applying pesticides in advance or treating the disease after it is infected, which will not only affect the quality of the medicinal materials, but also requires a lot of manpower investment. Rinto's idea is to start from the plant itself, improve the plant's natural immunity, and add early warning and active defense mechanisms.
Based on the natural immune mechanism of plants, he designed the corresponding regulatory configuration: on the one hand, it strengthens the synthesis of phytoalexins and disease-resistant proteins in the plant, improves resistance to fungal and bacterial infections, and at the same time increases the degree of tissue fibrosis of the plant to an appropriate degree, reducing the willingness of pests to eat; on the other hand, adding it to the planting pattern It has an early warning mechanism for pests and diseases. Once pests or pathogens are detected, a local defense response will be triggered immediately, and a trace amount of Chakra wave, which is harmless to the human body but can kill and inhibit bacteria, will be released in the damaged area. At the same time, an early warning will be issued to the planting management personnel to nip the pests and diseases in the bud.
More importantly, this configuration will not affect the active ingredients of the medicinal materials, nor will it leave any harmful substances in the plants, fully complying with medicinal safety standards.
The second module is the enhanced configuration of environmental stress resistance.
In response to common environmental problems such as drought, waterlogging, extreme temperatures, and insufficient soil fertility, Rinto has made a multi-dimensional optimization design: in response to drought, it strengthens the water absorption and retention capacity of the root system, while optimizing the stomata control of the plant to reduce water consumption. evaporation; in response to waterlogging, the root system's ability to withstand hypoxia is improved to avoid root rot; in response to extreme temperatures, the thermal stability and frost resistance of cells are improved; in response to soil fertility fluctuations, the root system's nutrient absorption efficiency is further enhanced to maximize the use of nutrients in the soil.
This configuration can significantly reduce the requirements for growth environment and meticulous maintenance of medicinal materials. Even in relatively harsh environments, plants can maintain normal growth and accumulation of medicinal efficacy, and will not suffer from problems such as yield reduction and medicinal efficacy due to environmental fluctuations.
The third module is also aimed at the most special needs during wartime - Chakra impact protection configuration.
Escaped Ninjutsu Chakra is extremely lethal to plants. It will directly destroy the structure of plant cells, interrupt metabolic processes, and cause plants to wither quickly. The conventional approach is to add protective barriers to medical fields, but large-area barriers consume extremely high energy. It is impossible to allocate too many barrier resources to medical fields during wartime.
The design idea of Rinto is to put protection on every plant. He designed a set of miniature, low-energy consumption Chakra buffer configurations, embedded in the planting pattern, which can form an extremely thin layer of buffering invisible to the naked eye around the plants. The barrier can automatically digest the dissipated low-intensity Chakra impact and protect the cell structure of the plant from damage. Even if it encounters a high-intensity impact, it can greatly weaken the damage, leaving room for the plant to buffer, and will not cause large-scale death in a single impact.
This configuration has extremely low energy consumption and can share the same energy cycle with the growth acceleration configuration. It does not require additional Chakra supply, will not increase the burden of planting, and can be used in large areas.
After the theoretical design and configuration derivation of the three modules was completed, Rinto immediately started the verification experiment in the planting pot in the experimental area. He superimposed the stress-resistance-enhanced configuration on half of the experimental plants, and the other half served as the control group, keeping the previous accelerated configuration unchanged, and then simulated various extreme scenarios to test the effect of the configuration.
In the disease and insect resistance test, he put plants infected with common fungal diseases together with the experimental plants. The plants in the control group quickly showed signs of disease, while the plants superimposed with the immune configuration were not infected at all, and even the leaves close to the infected plants showed no abnormalities. He put common medicinal pests into the planting pots, and the pests would rather starve to death than eat the leaves of the experimental plants.
During the drought resistance test, he stopped watering the plants to simulate an extremely drought environment. Three days later, the plants in the control group had shown severe wilting, and the leaves turned yellow and curled. However, the plants with the stress-resistant configuration still grew well, but the growth rate dropped slightly, and there was no damage from water shortage at all.
In the Chakra impact test, he used low-intensity Ninjutsu impact to simulate the wartime dissipation of Chakra. The plants in the control group had scorched leaves and stagnant growth immediately after being impacted, while the plants with a buffer configuration were almost unaffected. The barrier perfectly dissipated the energy of the impact, and the growth process was not interfered with in any way.
All tests have perfectly achieved the preset goals. Plants with a stress-resistant configuration not only maintain rapid growth and high accumulation of medicinal efficacy, but their risk resistance ability even exceeds that of wild plants that have grown naturally for many years, and can fully cope with the complex environment during wartime.
Rinto integrates the configurations of the three modules, as well as the previous growth acceleration configuration and secondary metabolism enrichment configuration, into a complete set of rapid planting plans for rare medicinal materials. It has made precise parameter adaptations for dragon blood grass and ice lotus, and also reserved adjustable interfaces to facilitate subsequent adaptation of other medicinal material varieties.
He compiled the complete plan, drawings, parameter specifications, planting and maintenance points, and even the pattern laying plan for large-scale planting into a book and placed it on the corner of the table. After doing all this, he sent a note to Shikaku Nara, asking him to send someone to get the plan, collect the mature first batch of experimental medicinal materials, conduct a comprehensive efficacy test, and send back the complete test data.
In less than half an hour, Shikaku came in person with his people. His steps were a little faster than usual, and his face was full of unconcealed anticipation. He had heard from the tribesman who sent the things before that Mr. Rinto's experiment was progressing very quickly, but he did not expect that it took only more than a month to come up with a complete plan.
"Mr. Rinto, you asked us to come over, so the plan has been completed?" Shikaku stood at the entrance of the courtyard and spoke respectfully, not daring to break in at will.
"Hmm." Rinto's voice came from the laboratory, "The plan is placed on the stone table at the entrance of the hospital. The complete plan of dragon blood grass and ice lotus, including acceleration, efficacy enrichment, and stress resistance enhancement, all parameters, drawings, and planting specifications are clearly written. You can arrange for people to test the seeds yourself. If there are any operational problems, summarize them all at once. Let Sakura bring them over and don't bother me."
Shikaku hurried forward, picked up the thick plan book on the stone table, and after just flipping through a few pages, his hands couldn't help shaking. The plan was more detailed than he imagined, from seed treatment, seedling substrate ratio, pattern laying, to full-cycle parameter adjustment, maintenance points, risk response, and even the water and fertilizer management plan for large-scale planting. Even a ninja without any planting experience could grow qualified medicinal materials by following the plan.
"Thank you so much, Mr. Rinto!" Shikaku's tone was full of excitement, "Your plan has completely solved our biggest problem. Konoha's wartime medical reserves are finally guaranteed!"
The Nara Clan medicinal farmers behind him were shocked and speechless when they turned over the stress-resistant design inside. They had been growing medicinal materials all their lives, but they had never imagined that dragon's blood grass could mature in three months and have such strong resistance to diseases and pests. This simply subverted their lifelong understanding.
"You guys must harvest the first batch of mature dragon blood grass in the experimental area, conduct a comprehensive efficacy test, and send me the complete test data, as well as the full-cycle growth data of subsequent trial plantings every day." Rinto's voice came again, with a calm tone. He only mentioned his core requirements and paid no attention to their thanks.
"No problem! Absolutely no problem!" Shikaku immediately agreed, "We will send you the test data today. We will arrange for a dedicated person to record all the test data every day and send it to you on time! If you need any medicinal materials or samples in the future, even if they are extremely rare varieties, we at the Nara Clan will do our best to find them for you!"
Rinto did not respond, and the only sound left in the room was the rustling of the pen tip across the slate.
The Shikaku group did not dare to disturb them any more, and quickly arranged for people to carefully harvest the mature medicinal materials in the experimental area. They hugged the plan book and quietly exited. They all knew in their hearts that this plan would not only solve the wartime reserve problem, but would even completely change the entire Shinobi World medicinal material cultivation system.
Rinto in the laboratory has crossed out the cultivation of medicinal materials from his priority list. He looked through the case files sent by Tsunade before, and his eyes fell on the core pain point of wartime medical treatment-battlefield first aid.
The medical patches he designed before were only basic hemostasis and analgesic versions, but the upcoming war requires a more comprehensive, more efficient, and lower-threshold battlefield first aid solution. He wants to create a complete final version of the medical patch system that covers most battlefield injuries to cope with the coming war.
