How the Zergs were Made

Chapter 44: Giant Structure-positive octachedrum

From a small underground void about 700 kilometers away, the rhizome that was trying to push forward stopped growing. Over time, the tip of the root expanded to form a sphere.

Inside the sphere is a hollow structure, and one of the fist-sized tumors, like a viscera-like object, is constantly moving.

After another period of time, the suspected organ objects are still beating, but they are not as energetic as they were at the beginning. Both the rise and contraction range and the speed have decreased a lot. There are also six more bumps on the squirming meat wall that point in different directions and are equidistant from each other.

Before long, the organ was cracked by the internal object, and an octached-shaped object was exposed to the formation cavity supported by the rhizome sphere.

This octahedra is as crystal clear as glass. You can see various pipes crisscrossing inside it, with fifteen sides. In addition to the twelve exposed, there are three vertical diagonals inside.

The slightly agitated surface indicates that this guy is a creature, a creature that combines three-dimensional geometry and life perfectly, which is not only not abrupt, but full of different beauty.

The rhizome still plays its role as usual, and a large amount of material flows from afar through a biological pump composed of muscle cells.

These material flows are quickly absorbed by the octahetahed, and their existence and the biological pump in the body quickly divide these substances into all parts of the body. The shape is enlarged in equal proportion without changing the shape, and the transparent color of the surface gradually fades and replaced with dark metal scales.

Soon, the hollow structure of the rhizome can no longer accommodate the growing octahedra, and the internal space of the rhizome is broken.

Under the instructions from afar, the broken rhizome was quickly repaired, and countless roots stretched out and penetrated into the interior of the octaphimal, continuing to faithfully carry out the task of transporting material.

The octahetaheta began to show its power to the world, and the space in the strata was constantly enlarged. The octahettahet used its own muscle cells to fight against the pressure from the strata.

This kind of confrontation has been completely in one-sided form on the octhet.

The increase in body size often means that the strength will plummet. If the size is infinitely enlarged, even things built of the strongest metal will appear fragile.

However, in the face of the pressure of the formation, the octagonal is not moved, always maintaining an unhurry speed and expanding its own shape.

This is due to its own structure. The internal skeleton is all connected to form a triangle, which provides an absolutely stable structure for the oct sheer. The design of the hypotenuse of the oct sheer allows the pressure exertion to the formation to be dispersed and be shared by the whole body.

It is unrealistic to rely solely on the skeleton. Among them, it plays the role of "Hercules" in the octaheta. Most of the pressure is shared by the huge number of muscle cells of the octahetaheta. They constantly consume methane to provide the overall structure of the octahetahet, thus to weaken the external pressure.

Corresponding to the octahedra in the strata, the sea level of the planet is falling, as if an invisible planet-level beast bends down to drink water, and the global water level has dropped by between one to 20 meters.

The octagon followed the instructions and tirelessly expanded its body. Soon, a new opponent appeared.

They are lava, fire dragons in the Hadesian period, even disasters and wealth. Even on the earth, they are the existence that human beings absolutely do not want to provoke.

Now, the expanded octosahet has entered their dragon nest. How can they endure it?

Lava at a temperature between 700 and 1200 degrees Celsius poured out, vowing to make fools who dared to offend themselves go out.

The dark scales of the octahedra were burned red at the high temperature of the lava, but soon, this redness disappeared and returned to the original black.

Inside the octoxide,

Under the acceleration of the biological pump, the high-speed flowing liquid water quickly takes away the heat, the heat accelerates the metabolic rate, and the volume of the octahet is further soaring - the lava has become the side that has been 'eaten' instead.After the expansion of the octheedron lasted for a period of time, the seabed began to rise. At first, it was only a little unreachable arc, and gradually became a small mountain bag visible to the naked eye. At this time, it was only three kilometers away from the bottom of the sea.

When the turbulent current washed away the mud and gravel covering it, the octahetached was finally completely exposed to the surface environment. This process did not produce much movement, which was in sharp contrast to the unstoppable momentum in the formation, as if it had returned to the mountains and forests.

The octapheed form continues to expand, and the internal skeleton structure is becoming more and more complex. Countless triangular stable structures maintain the main strength of locality. The fifteen main bones that grew out at the earliest stage are also becoming larger and larger.

After contact with the ocean, the expansion speed of the octahedra is further increased, and the decline speed of the ocean water level is also increasing.

The rhizomes that have been lurking in the ground have drilled out of the seabed one after another. They dock with the octaphimed, increasing the conveying strength of organic materials and other substances.

The octaheedra quickly touched the sea and expanded almost at a speed visible to the naked eye.

... one meter... ten meters... one hundred meters... kilometers...

The top of the octahetahet is getting higher and higher from the water. A nearby volcanic island is slowly disintegrating in this process from the bottom up, just like a bulldozer pushing away the sand with absolutely irresistible force.

Huo Gudu could see all the things that happened through the root system, and a small complacency could not help but emerge.

"If it hadn't been for the actual sample of giant underground cavity support columns, I really couldn't design such a strong bone structure with what I know..."

Of course, it is far from enough to rely on the support column, and with the help of those alien skeletons found later, otherwise Huo Gu really can't design such a self-consistent and integrated iron skeleton in such a short time.

Bones are not like alloys, thrown directly in the stove to burn, and then knock, and it's over. On a microscopic scale, bones also have a more microscopic structure. It is because of this that bones become wider and larger with the growth of life.

Huo Gu's perspective is from the bottom up, scanning the octahetahed that expands out of the sea, and then from the top of the octahetahed to the orange-red sky with thick clouds.

"It seems that it won't be long before I can understand these troubles now..."

Soon after that, when the height of the octahetahetahet rose to an average surface height of about 5,000 meters, the tornado column that Huo Gu was familiar with and hated to the point of teeth appeared.
