How the Zergs were Made

Chapter 18: Expansion

As the last gap in the cavity is filled by perceptual cells, the extended organ of the life field is completed.

Through the perception of the water flow of the fins on both sides, Huo Gu can clearly feel that the cell cluster is sinking little by little. The reason is that it comes from the newly made life field expansion organs. In another way, it is equivalent to an extra big stone inside the cell cluster.

"I didn't expect that my weight had increased so much. I'd better take the last step as soon as possible. I hope it works."

Adjusting the orientation of the fins, the downward momentum suddenly slowed down.

Huo Gu ordered a single cell to be split out in the water storage cavity, and then excreted to the cell cluster together with the compressed and ejected running water.

At the same time, Huo Gu adjusted the vitreous body of the eye and locked the cell that discharged from the cell cluster.

"Now, start transcribing genes and copying yourself."

Huo Gu gave instructions to the experimental cell that was excluded from the cell cluster. Whether the experiment can be successful depends on what kind of result is next.

Under Huo Gu's absorbed gaze, it changed with joy. The experimental cell did make a split reaction. After collecting enough amino acid materials, it began to replicate new individuals.

This also indicates that its idea is indeed effective, and the scope of the life field of the unknown body has indeed been expanded.

Huo Gu, who got the result, was eager to issue the order again. This time, the goal of the instruction was an entire cell cluster.

The cells divide, and all the cells in the whole cell cluster are dividing.

The whole process is like the self-replication of a cell. A central axis appears in the middle, with this central axis as the mirror. The cell cluster stretches to both sides and completes the incomplete parts.

After a while, a replicator of a new cell cluster was born.

"Very good!"

Huo Gu looked at the 'mirror body' of the cell cluster with satisfaction, and found that its vision had increased again, accompanied by an unspeakable feeling.

This feeling is the 'pleasure' that can only be felt by completing the intercellular fit again and again before the complete thinking can be restored.

The shackles imprisoned in his body have been untied again!

"It seems that the road I chose is not wrong..."

"Now, you are Cluster No. 2."

Huo Gu defined the emerging cell cluster to facilitate the distinction between the original cell cluster and the original cell cluster. At the same time, the original cell cluster was defined as number one.

"Next is the test."

"No. 2, stay away from No. 1 in a straight line and test the maximum distance of the life field. During this period, I will always transmit the command signal. If I can no longer receive the command signal, I will immediately turn around and return."

The No. 2 cluster that receives the instruction immediately stirs up the water storage cavity and quickly distances away from the No. 1 cluster.

This process, the No. 1 visual system, has been watching with full concentration.

When No. 2 returned, Huo Gu immediately knew what the radius of the life field was now, which was very easy. Through the optical distance, it was easy to complete.

"50m, plus and minus difference 4m."

Huo Gu couldn't help but be glad that he had made preparations before, otherwise he would have to spend more time doing something else, such as understanding the concept of how long 'one meter'.

Whenever he thinks about this, Huo Gu has to admire the protagonists in online novels who have traveled to the Stone Age. They can actually find out the specific definition length of 'one meter' without any tools, because it can't guess so accurately.

Compared with them, Huo Gu found a lot of trouble in finding the way to 'one meter'. The diameter of the water molecules is 4×10^-10m. It arranges one million water molecules in a straight line, and then gets the length unit of 'one centimeter', and then multiplies the distance by one hundred, thus getting the concept of 'one meter'. Read.

"Although the distance of a few meters is much better than originally expected, 50 meters is still too short."

After a while, the No. 2 cluster returned to the initial location, and Huo Gu gave the same instructions as before, but this time it was slightly different, that is, there was a new individual cluster, that is, No. 3.

No. 3 set out before No. 2 returned to the initial place, to the edge of the life field that No. 2 had just arrived at, and Hogu's command to stay on the edge of the life field.

This time, No. 2 went straight over the position of No. 3 and went further.

"Very good, the relay station experiment was successful."

Huo Gu knew that it had taken another big step forward, which was a formal change. The success of relay instructions means that as long as there are enough cell clusters, it can extend the instructions to infinity.

Of course, as the distance increases, there may be a delay in the arrival time of the instruction.

"No. 2, stop at the edge of receiving the command."

According to the instructions, the fins on both sides of No. 2 change the angle and stop after taxiing for a distance.

Next is the last experiment. With the first two successful experiments, Huo Gu is full of confidence this time.

"Transfer!"

"..."

I was stunned for a while, and nothing happened.

It must be my posture is wrong. Well, come again."

"I'll jump!"

"..."

This time, it's the same as last time, and nothing happened.

"It's strange, why can't I transfer to the cell clusters of No. 2 and No. 3?"

"Hasn't the life field network been built? Normally, I should be able to get to No. 2 and No. 3.

After meditating for a while, Huo Gu had no choice but to give up. He didn't even figure out what kind of mechanism the field source was, so naturally there was no way to start.

"In this way, won't I be trapped in the cell cluster No. 1?"

Huo Gu complained distressedly, but he couldn't find the key point of the problem. What was it?

Finally, this experiment is to change the boarding body, just like changing clothes, take off the old clothes and put on the new clothes, but the problem now is that the old clothes can't be taken off, and the new clothes can't be changed naturally.

The last experiment was undoubtedly a failure.

"In this way, I can't let the No. 1 cluster take risks..."

"Fortunately, it's not without gain this time."

The eyes of the cell clusters turned to the nearby column of smoke rising from the bottom of the sea.

"No. 2, set out and go to the nearby alkaline waters to explore the situation."

"The third forward is used as a relay station."

"No. 1 is on standby to create more cell clusters for relay instructions."

Huo Gu remembered the alkaline water that made him feel itchy and curious. With its current ability, there was nothing to be afraid of.

No. 2 and No. 3 swam in the current, swaying towards the smoke column of the alkaline volcano, and the new cell cluster, No. 1 is also stepping up production.
