How the Zergs were Made

Chapter 23: volcanic

   A group of gourds slowly approached Huo Gu from a distance under the displacement of water jet propulsion.

   In fact, Huogu did not abandon the gourd design because of the new design. After the rough construction of the entire rhizome system was completed, a part of the organic matter was allocated to recreate a new gourd group.

  Of course, in order to avoid recurrences such as being scratched by the epidermis by rocks, on the outside of the parietal cells, the accumulation and superposition of the death of the parietal cells are used to create a single thin layer of stratum corneum with a certain degree of toughness.

   If it was only washed up to the coast, the stone would no longer be able to cut through the skin of the gourd, unless it encountered a disaster like a fierce wave again.

   The price of increased defense is a decrease in speed, but it doesn’t matter, the position of the gourd has changed from a ‘runaway’ to a ‘gatherer’, and it exists as a mobile collection platform in the ocean.

There is a limit to the rhizome system covering the seabed, that is, only organic materials close to the seabed can be collected. The sea is not the same as the land. It is a three-dimensional space of activity. If there is only organic material on a two-dimensional plane, then It is undoubtedly a waste.

  The gourd group is close to the tumor-shaped mass. There are dozens of cavities in a certain part of the tumor-shaped mass. The head of the individual gourd is docked with the hole, thus completing the entire process of organic material transfer.

   Considering the transportation problem when constructing the rhizome system, Huogu simply designed the ‘warehouse’ for storing materials in the compartment cavity of the sensing cells.

These transferred materials, amino acids will be dehydrated and condensed to form proteins, which are then stripped from the aqueous solution and stored in a special cavity. The same is true for the collected other elements. After being made into simple substances, they are stored in a special cavity. In the cavity for future use.

   Everything went smoothly as expected. Rather, the design of the rhizome system took too much time to complete in the morning than the collection of organic materials.

   The current situation is that organic materials are tight.

   Therefore, regarding the design of cell clusters that are more efficient, faster, and more durable than the ability of a gourd to move in the water, Huogu decided to put it aside for a while, and then consider it after a while.

   There is another thing Huogu needs to do, that is, to find out the specific situation of this volcanic island. There is such a dangerous neighbor around him. It is necessary to confirm the authenticity of some information with his own eyes.

   After all, this is related to its own life and death. It doesn't want to be surprised by this neighbor suddenly. Many things in this world happen suddenly when it is uncertain, such as its original ‘crossing’.

   distracted part of his attention and focused it on the main root that was climbing the columnar jointed stone wall. On this main root, there was an eye for Huogu to observe the external environment.

   Through the imaging of the electrical signals transmitted back by his eyes, Huogu finally got a closer look at the inland area of ​​the volcanic island away from the coast, exactly what it looked like.

   Barren, very barren. After turning over the rock wall, the entire plane above is a large rock. The top of the rock is full of cracks that resemble the lines on the tortoise carapace, but these cracks only exist on the big rocks, but not on the small rocks.

   Hogu estimates that this is the result of rapid cooling. Even boiling water, facing a lava flow with a high temperature of at least 700 degrees Celsius, is almost similar to cold water, and can have the same ‘cooling’ effect as cold water.

   The taproot is bent from the edge of the rock wall and grows horizontally on the rock surface.

   At the same time, the roots on the taproot are not idle, and go deep into the surrounding stone surface, which can provide fixation for the taproot and allow Huogu to understand the surrounding element structure.

   The eyes on the main root looked at the highest peak in the center of the island, the active volcano that was still emitting a lot of smoke and dust, like a huge factory chimney.

   Soon, the main root came to the foot of the mountain, where there are a large number of small pieces of rubble and volcanic glass.

These small rubbles were originally stones on the edge of the volcanic crater, and they were burnt by the volcano, and there were heavy rains that rained day and night in the ancient cosmos. When it was cold and hot, it would soon become unbearable and shattered like this. Small rocks and colored glaze crystals rolled down to the foot of the mountain, thus creating the current landscape.

  If it was before, it might be more troublesome, because the sharp edges and corners of gravel and colored glaze need to be considered.

   But now, this kind of terrain is no longer a problem for Huogu.

   The movement of the taproot is not driven by limbs, but ‘growth’, which is like a plant, relying on cell division to achieve displacement.

  Slow is a little bit slower, but this kind of slowness is relative to animals. Compared with plants, it is amazing speed, because there is a super consciousness like Huogu that is carrying out macro-control.

   The main root lay down without fear, and headed straight to the top of the mountain.

Considering that this steep **** is composed of small gravel and glazed pieces, there is a possibility of landslides, especially in such an environment that is always washed by rain. Huogu dispatched a main root, like the winding road to the top of the mountain in a way around the volcano. In this way, even if the original taproot encounters a landslide and falls off, the taproot surrounded by UU看书www.uukanshu.com can replace the first one, but it will take more time.

   Fortunately, Huogu did not use the second taproot, and the first taproot came to the crater on the top of the mountain.

   Thick smoke billowing, hot air, because it is an alkaline volcano, the concentration of metal ions in the air is very high, immersed in this environment, all the iron sand on the ground has become a magnet.

   The taproot can’t advance for half a minute, and if it advances further, the temperature will reach the combustible point and spontaneous combustion occurs.

   At such a close distance, since it is not on the bottom of the sea and there is no immediate cooling of water, it is easy to see the red and shiny lava in the volcano, which is still bubbling from time to time.

   "Well, this is an active volcano, not a dormant volcano. I shouldn't have any chance of luck." Huogu laughed at himself, admitting his fate.

Since crossing into this posture, Huogu has been hiding in Tibet, cautiously, and now it is finally hard to temporarily have a safe base, unconsciously sprouted out,'Maybe I'm lucky, this volcano It has been dormant, and the smoke coming from the crater is a plume of smoke formed by the evaporation of water vapor' such a fluke idea.

Now, this delusion is broken, and at the same time, Huo Gu is also relieved. It deeply understands that this kind of delusion of its own is broken. As far as its current situation is concerned, it will not be of any help, but may put itself in danger .

  In a world full of dangers, any fluke shouldn't exist. With this lesson and a warning, you won't be so easy to make such mistakes in the future.

  Of course, Huogu came to a place so close to the crater not only to correct his mentality, but also to confirm one thing more importantly.

   The taproot wraps a small piece of volcanic rock fragments very close to the crater into the taproot.
