How the Zergs were Made

Chapter 32: Shooting Base

After a certain target, one of the gourds in the tail of the titanium snail carefully left the area covered by the submarine curtain.

When moving in the water, it has always moved close to the seabed and follows the trajectory of the current as much as possible, so that even a submarine with a military soona cannot capture the gourd, an active individual in the water.

Whether it will be discovered by the existence of what it is, Huo Gu himself has no idea, which is the most hidden degree as it can.

Driven by the flow, the gourd came a nautical mile away from the position of the titanium snail. This is the edge covered by the titanium snail's life field. Moving forward, Huo Gu could not issue instructions to the gourd.

The area where the gourd comes is a piece of sand that exists at the bottom of the sea. Large rocks can't be seen. This is the result of repeated erosion of the undersea water. It will take a long time for the planet to have fine sand like the earth's beach.

At the beginning of the division, the cells on the gour's body split under Huo Gu's instructions, and the number changed from one to two.

The original gourd sank to the sand after splitting, in order to minimize the interference of the sea currents on the individual position of the gourds. There is no need to worry about the gourd covered with carbon nanofibers. The rough sand on the seabed will scratch the skin.

The gourd swings the fins on both sides and uses the sand to bury itself and hide it.

The split gourd continued to set out and go further afield.

During this period, when encountering an undersea volcano or island, you will choose a slightly deflection direction. On the whole, it is not necessary to maintain a straight line, but no matter how it changes, it will always be 'away from the hidden position of titanium snails', which will not change.

In this way, quite a long time has passed. Huo Gu doesn't know exactly how long it has passed. It feels like this. At this time, the command chain has extended hundreds of nautical miles, and the command delay phenomenon is becoming more and more serious.

"It's almost this distance... Even if human beings move satellites, it is absolutely impossible to find me without knowing the field of life."

That's right, but Huo Gu still extended the distance to more than 100 nautical miles out of the principle of caution...

The farthest gourd individuals no longer split like those of the previous gourd individuals, but changed their gene expression sequence under the instructions of Huo Gu.

This gourd sank to the bottom of the sea. This is a rocky area, full of gravel. Like the coastline of the volcanic island, there is an undersea volcano not far away.

The gourd that sank to the bottom of the lake no longer maintains the shape of a gourd. It has become a meat ball and is constantly expanding, like an independent heart.

The sphere rises and bigger. The interior of the sphere is no longer full of solids, but a liquid environment. A small blank tire can be faintly seen from the outside of the membrane in the center of the sphere.

In order to maintain its own strength, the gradually expanding sphere feels that it is thickening its structure, and the embryo in the sphere completes the shaping of its own shape and the development of internal organs in a fairly stable environment.

Finally, the fully developed creature inside pierced the sphere from the inside out with its own titanium alloy fangs.

Creatures stretch their bodies, and something that is both like a creature and not want to be a creature appears on the bottom of the sea.

A large life body similar to a hill, is cone-shaped, with a bottom radius of ten meters and a height of 14 meters. There are six huge mouths close to the seabed at the bottom, and there is also a huge mouth at the top. There are many small holes on its cone body and rows of titanium alloy spikes.

The presence of the core perceptual cells is buried in the ground. Huo Gu did not consider letting this big man move in the water at the beginning of the design.

The skeleton of titanium alloy provides sufficient strength. Under the premise of resisting the water pressure on the seabed, it also supports this level of large size. The epidermis is a composite epidermis constructed by carbon nanofibers and proteins.

Titanium alloy scales are attached to the outermost side.This monster thing stirs up the body under the command, and the big mouth at the top sucks the sea water crazily, and then the water will be discharged from the six mouths at the bottom.

It's just a simple process, and a large amount of protein is collected.

The rhizomes begin to grow from the bottom of this monster. These rhizomes are also different from the volcanic island. There are no rhizomes like the main root. They are all uniform in thickness and intertwined with each other, covering the sea in a mesh structure.

If you enlarge the perspective to the extent that the cell structure can be observed, it can be found that these rhizomes are intertangled by countless smaller rhizomes. The core of the small rhizomes is carbon nanotubes, and the resource phase of all small rhizomes is different, which means that while the strength is further improved, this newly designed rhizomes It can handle all types of resources.

The most important point is that these rhizomes always produce oxygen, collect the thermal energy of the volcano, or heat at water temperature, and react with the acid and alkali elements in the water.

This is a design to prevent microorganisms from attacking the rhizome system.

High concentrations of oxygen can destroy cell membranes. In this era of anaerobic microorganisms, it is definitely a powerful killer. What's more, it is very easy to produce, and the atmosphere is full of carbon dioxide.

Microorganisms killed by oxygen will precipitate downwards and then be collected by the rhizome system.

Of course, this is a secondary function. Its main function is to absorb the compounds in the covered area and transport them to conical organisms, and the two sides are complementary.

Under the protein feeding of conical organisms, the extended rhizome system has been advancing all the way, covering the waters with conical organisms as the core radius of six kilometers.

During this period, conical creatures also use the remaining organic materials to make a large number of gourds. Under Huo Gu's instructions, the gourd group will go to the edge of the life field, where they will 'bury themselves and transform into conical creatures.

Under such circumstances, the covered area is expanding in a geometric explosion. If a volcano is encountered, the rhizome system will not let go. Except for ultra-high-temperature places such as craters, all areas will be covered.

Huo Gu also considered sustainable development at the beginning of the design. If it is too reckless, the result is likely to be that the planet is still in the infantile ecosystem and prematurely dies. It does not want to see this happen.

As a researcher of paleontology, learning to respect them is the most basic moral code.

The metabolism of the rhizome system is faster than that of the previous generation. The lifespan of a single cell is very short. After the cell dies, it will gradually accumulate, forming organic substances such as mud. For microorganisms, this is an extremely nutritious delicacy.

When this coverage area expanded to more than 200 nautical miles, it finally caught the attention of the unknown existence again.
