How the Zergs were Made

Chapter 12: Spraying

Huo Gu found awkwardly that the driving force formed by the flagella as 'slurry' did not seem to be enough to promote cell clusters with a sharp increase in the number of cells.

"It seems that it is necessary to redesign something."

Concentrated thinking, the three-dimensional structure map of the cell cluster floats in Huo Gu's thoughts.

So how should it be improved?

"Uh... The main problem is still the driving force. Maybe we should start from here."

"Insufficient driving force is mainly because the flagellum is too short, which leads to the forward force generated by sliding water and is not enough to drive the high-speed progress of the whole cell cluster."

"So... for the current cell cluster, flagella can only be used as a small drive engine to adjust the direction, but no longer as the main power source."

The problem now is what kind of main driver engine should be installed for the cell cluster.

The spinal tail used by the torpedo appeared in Huo Gu's mind, which swings the water flow through the combination with the muscles to provide a forward thrust.

However, Huo Gu gave up the idea again.

The spinal tail of fish needs the spinal bone to be used. There are too many problems to consider when redesigning a skeletal system, such as water pressure, bone weight, etc.

And Huo Gu now needs to leave the dangerous area of the volcano as soon as possible.

"I won't think about the tail of the spine for the time being..."

Huo Gu's mind quickly flashed the propulsion system of marine life that had appeared in the history of the earth.

Forget about arthropods. Their mobility is mainly by climbing. The only advantage is that they can be amphibious. In addition, the limitations are too large.

Suddenly, Huo Gu was shining in his wandering thoughts.

"By the way, I can try the injection propulsion method of software."

The jet propulsion method, as the name implies, is a process of inhaling water and discharging it.

In this process, the kinetic energy is given to the water by the extrusion of muscle tissue. According to Newton's third law, the action and reaction force between the two objects are always on the same straight line at the same time, with equal size and opposite direction. With the help of the reaction force of the jet water flow, the displacement effect is achieved.

The advantages and disadvantages of this method are obvious. The advantage is that it can be upgraded to a very high speed in a short time in the water. The disadvantage is that it is easy to lose strength and does not have the more durable propulsion ability like the vertebral tail.

After all, if the water consumption as a medium of promotion needs to be stopped for replenishment.

It should be too late for Huo Gu to immediately start the improvement of cell clusters.

The jet propulsion mode can be divided into three stages, namely, the water inlet stage, the accumulation stage and the jet stage.

As long as these three stages can be completed at one time, the jet propulsion engine will be completed.

The first thing is to design a cavity that can hold liquid.

This cavity cannot be too small, because the cavity is loaded with a propulsion medium, which is directly related to the persistence of the cell cluster propulsion ability.

This is not difficult for Hogu, who can only know cells. Soon, in the tail of cylindrical creatures, a new cavity is formed.

Then came the design of the water inlet. Huo Gu designed these openings in the first part, so that with the help of the inertia of propulsion, the water can be introduced into the cavity effortlessly.

At the water inlet, Huogu uses multiple water inlet valves to control the opening and closing through the mitochondria in the cell.

This is to ensure that water does not flow backwards out of the inlet during the savings stage.

"Next is the savings stage..."

In this way, Huo Gu focuses on a single cell, which needs to create a muscle cell template.

The biggest difference between muscle cells and other cells is that it contracts and contractss quickly. In addition, fatigue resistance is also an outstanding presence in cells.

However, Huo Gu does not intend to modify according to the kind of muscle cells in his memory.

The precision complexity of that muscle cell far exceeds the energy required to make a set of bones.

Even when he first came into contact with muscle cells, Huo Gu couldn't help but doubt whether life was a natural product or not. If it hadn't been for the interference of external forces, how could there be such an exquisite and complex microstructure?

The precise structure of muscle cells is to correctly receive electrical signals from the brain, complete contraction at any time, and drive body activity.

However, Huo Gu can bypass this, and it can directly command the cells.

"Now that I think about it, I also have my own advantages. Maybe I can try to combine mitochondria..."

The new type of cell to be made is a kind of cell that is simple in structure and can simulate muscle cell contraction...

So, how to simulate muscle cells to achieve the effect of contraction.

At present, Huogu has two mitochondria, one is to process sulfur elements, and the other is to process hydrochloric acid to produce hypochlorite.

"Just follow the shape of muscle cells and divide them into multiple areas. The oxygen of the excreted cells will combine with hydrogen to form water, and muscle cells that lose a large amount of oxygen will inevitably contract, so as to..."

The jet biological engine gradually becomes fine in Huogu's thinking, and it is constantly spitting and operating.

Then there is the injection stage. To achieve the effect of spraying and have a durable injection, the injection valve needs to be small, but not too small, otherwise the output power is not enough, and it must have a certain degree of relaxation.

Huo Gu continued to use muscle cells, so that the output power of the injection valve became controllable.

"I almost forgot, and there is also a rudder."

In high-speed travel, it is inevitable to encounter obstacles, so you must turn flexibly.

Therefore, on both sides of the three-dimensional model of cell clusters in the sea of Huogu thinking, there are two more pairs of 'small fans', which are called ' fins' by the name of fish.

Through muscle cells and the appropriate angle of rotating fins, the effect of rapid climbing, settlement and turning in the water can be achieved in a short time.

When the last cell returns, the designed cell cluster drives the newly formed water engine. In the process of giving kinetic energy to the water in the cavity, a curved arc can be clearly seen in the long cylindrical tail, which looks like a carefully carved porcelain bottle from a distance.

Bang!

With a sound wave mediated by water and a stirred volcanic ash, Hogu's cell cluster disappeared in its original position.

"Damn it!"

It should be said that the effect of the designed water engine is too good, and the current speed of the cell cluster is completely beyond Huo Gu's expectation.

Desperately avoiding the strange volcanic rocks at the bottom of the water, at this moment, it only feels like it is riding a rocket and crossing the interstellar meteorite belt.

Every time, it is dangerous to avoid those stones, and it is only a matter of time before it hits those volcanic rocks.

Fortunately, this is not land, and Huo Gu has other options.

"Climb! Climb up!"

Under the fin-guided water flow, the cell cluster turns the rudder urgently and climbs up almost vertically.

Behind him, the explosive flow swept out again seemed to be the last farewell.
