Amoebas in a 3D grid

Consider a three dimensional grid of cubes. An amoeba in cube $(x, y, z)$ can divide itself into three amoebas to occupy the cubes $(x + 1, y, z)$, $(x, y + 1, z)$ and $(x, y, z + 1)$, provided these cubes are empty.

Originally there is only one amoeba in the cube $(0, 0, 0)$. After $N$ divisions there will be $2N+1$ amoebas arranged in the grid. An arrangement may be reached in several different ways but it is only counted once. Let $D(N)$ be the number of different possible arrangements after $N$ divisions.

For example, $D(2) = 3$, $D(10) = 44499$, $D(20)=9204559704$ and the last nine digits of $D(100)$ are $780166455$.

Find $D(10\ 000)$, enter the last nine digits as your answer.


三维格阵中的阿米巴原虫

考虑一个三维格阵。原本位于方格$(x,y,z)$中的一只阿米巴原虫,在目标方格没有被占据的情况下,可以将自身分裂成三只阿米巴原虫,并分别占据方格$(x+1,y,z)$,$(x,y+1,z)$和$(x,y,z+1)$。

一开始只有一只阿米巴原虫位于方格$(0, 0,0)$。经过$N$次分裂之后,格阵中将会分布有$2N+1$只阿米巴原虫。不同的分裂顺序可能形成相同的分布情况,这些分布均算作相同的分布。记$D(N)$为经过$N$次分裂后所有可能的不同分布的总数。

例如,$D(2) = 3$,$D(10) = 44499$,$D(20)=9204559704$,而$D(100)$的最后九位数字是$780166455$。

求$D(10\ 000)$,并将其最后九位数字作为你的答案。
