How the Zergs were Made

Chapter 96: Cone

For the 'loyalty' of the collectors, in fact, Huo Gu did not spend too much time on it, but turned his attention to other things.

Although the logical relationship is still not clear, the overall result is good. At least there is no need to worry about the 'uprising' of the collectors one day and flaunting Huo Gu as a class enemy that must be achieved.

"Loyalty" in the practical physical sense is far more firm than the conceptual meaning of human beings. After all, this universe is still materialistic.

"By the way, you have to re-establish contact with Wei as soon as possible."

Huo Gu's mind moved, and the rhizome system began to follow the instructions. In the inland underground that would be affected by the marine climate, a root of the rhizome differentiated and proliferated, and soon formed a sarcoma, just like the original ocheedahed.

A continuous stream of organic matter is transported by the rhizome from afar.

Since unlocking the technology of independent production of organic materials, Huogu has been no longer troubled by organic materials. The production of organic materials in the rhizome can even crush the way to obtain ready-made organic materials from microorganisms.

Nowadays, the only limitation is probably the ability of the rhizomes to transport organic materials.

The shape of the sarcoma quickly expands, and a small angle appears at the top. At the same time, due to the expansion of the shape, the area at the bottom that can be connected to transport organic materials is also increasing.

Therefore, not only does it not decline or uniformly, but the growth shows a trend of accelerated growth.

Soon, the corners broke through the ground. Although it looked dirty because it was stained with soil, it could still be recognized as a metal object.

The metal continued to rise, gradually revealing its posture to the outside world, a whole metal cone.

However, if you look at it from a microscopic perspective, you will find that this metal body is different from ordinary metal body, full of countless hole structures, which is a combination of metal and organic matter.

This form is not uncommon. As the bone microstructure of macrobiotics, it is basically a perfect combination of organic matter and metal structure, which has both growth and metal strength.

The theoretical growth limit of the human-dominated metal cone carried out by Huo Gu should be the strength limit of its metal body.

However, when it grew to more than ten meters, the conical metal stopped growing.

Huo Gu noticed the swing phenomenon. The cone is inclined to be slender. Even if it reaches the same height as the octahetahed, the floor area is less than one thousandth of the octahetahed.

Huo Gu didn't think about the reason for using the octahedm because of the energy consumption caused by its huge volume, which is enough to change the planet's climate and environment.

Therefore, Huo Gu chose the current design with low unit cell volume and low energy consumption.

"This design should be enough in terms of the strength shown at present, but if it continues to grow, I'm afraid the center of gravity will be unstable and fall..."

"...Then add the root design of the plant to the bottom and grasp the stratum in reverse to stabilize the height."

Originally, it was only to provide repair and a certain toughness for the metal cone. The internal cells at the bottom grow roots, which expand downward, and the deepest roots reach three times the height of the cone.

"It should be almost done. The next step is to grow synchronously on the upper and lower sides."

Huo Gu simply checked the shaking degree of the cone. After determining that it belongs to the acceptable range, he continued to let the cone grow upwards. Of course, the roots at the bottom will not fall.

The ozone layer between the troposphere and the stratosphere on the surface was soon broken through by a cone.

Through the eyes located near the tip of the cone at the top, Huo Gu can see a new world. The top is the cloud, and the bottom is also a cloud, layered and staggered. It really looks like the heavenly realm in the myth and legend of the earth.

However, Huo Gu didn't have much feeling. This kind of scenery can often be seen by plane in his previous life. If it were a collector, it would be scary enough.

"Speaking of which, I have been here for so long, and I don't know if there is any chance to return to the earth. What's going on on the other side of the earth..."

Fallen leaves always come to the root, and this idea is particularly strong in the elderly. Huo Gu, as an old man in his sixties, is deeply influenced by this idea.

Finally, he looked deeply. Between the clouds and the sky and the earth, the sun was about to set in the West Mountain, and Huo Gu muttered to himself melancholy.

"I hope I can see it again in my lifetime."

The cone continued to grow. At this time, night had come, and Huo Gu could see many stars twinkling.

It is also getting closer and closer to the cold. The part from the cone to the tip of the cone has condensed a layer of frost at no idea when, covering the surface of the metal body, which is the characteristic of the middle layer of the atmospheric structure.

This brings some trouble to the growth of the cone, because the temperature will have a certain impact on Huo Gu, but it doesn't matter. After Huo Gu introduces hydrochloric acid that reduces the freezing point, The cells in the cone are rejuvenated.

When the tip of the cone penetrates into the hot layer, the ice in this part of the cone shows signs of falling off and melting.

This layer of gas is ionized under the action of cosmic rays. The ionized oxygen can strongly absorb the short-wave radiation of the sun, which makes the air heat up rapidly. Therefore, the temperature of this layer increases with the height, which is the opposite of the previous middle layer.

After changing more than ten times day and night, the cone finally grows to its own strength limit, and the tip of the cone has reached the escape layer.

At this height, it can be basically seen that the surface shows a certain arc, and the sky is no longer blue, but dark as ink.

Huo Guxin's instructions were followed, which were delivered from the bottom through the cells inside the metal to the top cells.

The tip of the cone began to be gradually decomposed by the internal cells, and soon the metal part disappeared, replaced by a platform-shaped sarcoma and a spherical hollow tempered glass ball, which was an eye inside.

Of course, radiation protection treatment is the most important consideration. The built-in solution carried in the tempered glass sphere can absorb most of the radiation from the star.

"I didn't expect that one day I would do those things that only major in astronomy. Obviously, I'm just a bad old man who likes archaeology..."

"So, there should be an asteroid belt in this galaxy, right? I hope it's not too far away."

Huo Gu adjusted the vitreous body inside his eyes and observed the environment in the planetary system through the flow of charged particles emitted from the star's nuclear fusion.

Although it is 'inside', it is actually very huge, so empty that people subconsciously think that in addition to the planet under their feet, there are only distant stars and distant stars without heat.
