How the Zergs were Made

Chapter 18: Expand

   As the last gap in the cavity is filled by the sensory cells, the expansion of the life field is completed.

Through the perception of the water flow by the fins on both sides, Huogu can clearly feel that the cell clusters are sinking a little bit. The reason is that the newly created life field expands the organs. Another way of understanding it is equivalent to the number of cells inside the cluster. A big rock came out.

   "Unexpectedly, the weight has risen so much, so I should do the last step as soon as possible, I hope it will work."

   Adjusted the direction of the fins, and the downward momentum suddenly slowed down.

  Hogu instructs a single cell to be split out in the water storage chamber, and then, together with the compressed and jetted water, discharges the cell cluster.

  At the same time, Huogu adjusted the vitreous body of his eye and locked the cell that discharged the cell cluster.

   "Now, start transcribing genes and copy yourself."

   Huogu gave instructions to the experimental cell that was excluded from the cell cluster. Whether the test succeeds depends on what kind of result is next.

   Under Huogu's engrossed gaze, it changed happily. The experimental cell did indeed undergo a division response. After collecting enough amino acid materials, it began to replicate new individuals.

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

   Huogu, who got the result, once again couldn't wait to give an order. This time, the goal of the order was an entire cluster of cells.

   The cells have divided, and all the cells in the entire cell cluster are dividing.

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

  In just a moment, a new replica of the cell cluster was born.

   "Very good!"

   Huogu gazed at the ‘mirror body’ of this cell cluster with satisfaction, and found that its field of vision had increased again, accompanied by an unspeakable feeling.

   This kind of feeling is exactly the ‘pleasure’ that can only be felt by completing the bonding between the cells again and again when the complete thinking has not been restored at the beginning.

   The shackles that held him on his body are released again!

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

   "From now on, you are the number two in the cluster."

  Hogu defined the newly-emerged cell cluster so as to distinguish it from the original cell cluster. At the same time, he defined the original cell cluster as number one.

   "Next is the test."

   "No. 2, a straight line away from No. 1, to test the maximum distance of the life field. During this period, I will keep sending command signals. If I can no longer receive the command signals, I will immediately turn around and return."

   The No. 2 cluster that received the instruction immediately instigated the water storage cavity to quickly widen the distance from the No. 1 cluster.

   During this process, the visual system of No.1 has been watching with full attention.

   When the 2nd returned, Huo Gu immediately knew what the radius of this life field was now. This was easy, and it was easy to complete by measuring the distance through the optical path.

   "50m, the difference between positive and negative is 4m."

   Huo Gu couldn't help but be thankful that he had prepared before, otherwise he would have to spend more time and effort to do some other things, such as understanding the concept of how long "one meter" is.

Whenever he thinks of this, Huo Gu has to admire those protagonists who have traveled to the Stone Age in online novels. Without any tools, he was able to find out the specific defined length of'one meter' because it could not be done. That kind of precise guessing.

Compared with them, it is a lot more troublesome for Huogu to find out the method of "one meter". The diameter of water molecules is 4×10^-10m. It arranges one million water molecules in a straight line, and thus obtains "one Centimeter is a unit of length, and then this distance is multiplied by one hundred to get the concept of "one meter".

   "Although it is much better than the originally expected distance of several meters, at 50m, it is still too short."

   After a while, the second cluster returned to the initial location, and Huogu issued the same order as before, but this time it was slightly different, that is, a new individual cluster was added, that is, the third.

   No. 3 set off before No. 2 returned to the original ground, and went to the edge of the life field that No. 2 had just arrived at, and Huogu gave it the instruction to stay at the edge of the life field.

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

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

   Huogu knows that it has taken another big step forward. This is a formal change. The success of relay instructions means that as long as there are enough cell clusters, it can extend instructions to infinity.

   Of course, as the distance increases, the arrival time of the command may be delayed.

   "No. 2, stop at the edge position where the command is received."

   Following the instructions, the fins on both sides of No. 2 changed their angles and stopped after sliding for a certain distance.

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

   "Transfer!"

  "..."

   was so dumbfounded for a while, nothing happened. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

   "It must be my posture, um, come again."

   "I jump!"

  "..."

   This time it was the same as the last time, nothing happened.

   "Strange, why can't I transfer to the cell clusters on the 2nd and 3rd?"

   "Isn't the life field network already built? Logically speaking, I should be able to get to the 2nd and 3rd."

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

   "In this way, will I be trapped in the cell cluster No. 1?"

   Huogu complained in distress, but it couldn't find the key point of the problem, where it was.

   The last experiment was to change the boarding body, just like changing clothes. Take off the old clothes and put on new clothes. But the problem now is that if the old clothes cannot be taken off, the new clothes cannot be changed naturally.

   This last experiment undoubtedly failed.

   "If this is the case, then I can't let Cluster One take risks..."

   "Fortunately, it was not without gain this time."

  The cell clusters all turned their eyes to the plume of smoke rising from the seafloor nearby.

   "No. 2, set off, head to the nearby alkaline waters to explore the situation."

   "No. 3 forward as a relay station."

   "Number One stands by in place to create more cell clusters for relaying instructions."

   Huo Gu remembered that piece of alkaline water that made it tickled and curious. With its current ability, there is nothing to be afraid of.

   No. 2 and No. 3 swayed towards the plume of the alkaline volcano in the current, and the production of new cell clusters, No. 1, was intensified.
